COMMUNITY REMEMBERS AT HEART OF VILLAGE: CLAN GREGOR SQUARE
As this issue of the Bayfield Breeze is published on Remembrance Day, Bayfield Historical
Society President, David Gillians, was kind enough to provide us with a history he compiled
regarding the connection this village, and particularly Clan Gregor Square, has had with
war.

The cenotaph, a focal point in Clan Gregor Square, was completely refurbished and rededicated in July 2008.
(Dennis Pal photo)
The Village of Bayfield and surrounding Stanley Township have a long and proud history of
military service and sacrifice. Clan Gregor Square is the heart of the community where
generations of Bayfield residents have come to celebrate and mourn. It's appropriate that
our Remembrance Day Ceremony takes place there every year. If you look around the
village from the perspective of the Cenotaph there are a great many reminders of the men
and women who have sacrificed so much to enable us to enjoy the quality of life we have
today.
During the village's very first year of existence in 1837, when the old growth forest was still
being cleared around the square, all 15 of the men in the settlement joined the Militia and
were sent to spend the winter in tents at the junction of the Huron and London Roads, at
present day Clinton, to defend against a possible rebel uprising.
In June 1865, a false alarm was issued about seven boat loads of well armed and trained
Fenian invaders that had purportedly landed at the Wallace farm just north of Bayfield. As a
result, over one hundred men from the area led by W.W. Connor, who lived in the yellow
brick home on the south east corner of the Square, passed by, with their hunting rifles and
any weapon they could find, on a suicidal mission to defend their homes and country.
Although it was a false alarm and many stories must have been told at the ensuing
celebrations at the Albion Hotel that day, it's important to remember that most of the men in
the area headed into danger when the alarm was raised and they met the test of courage
when they could just have easily run east to safety.

Then on Sunday, the Main Street shopping

TOWN HALL
It has been 20 years since a committee was
formed to save the Bayfield Town Hall from
demolition. Since that time a number of
fundraising efforts have been held in an
effort to preserve it and make it a vital part of
the community social scene.
Now The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage
Society is looking to improve the entrance to
the building to make it more visibly appealing
for weddings, festivals, concerts and
business meetings.
The latest fundraiser will be the sale of
commemorative bricks to be installed in the
front walk, at the hall entrance and a new
walk leading to the property's "great lawn".
The paving stones can be engraved to
showcase a family name, honor loved ones
or celebrate a special occasion such as a
wedding or an anniversary. They could even
make a unique family Christmas gift.
According to the fundraising brochure,
"These stones will be placed along the
walkway so that generations to come will
enjoy this wonderful legacy left in honor of
the revitalization of the town hall."
There are three stone styles to purchase: a
large stone, 8X12, with one line of engraving
up to 12 characters, $250; a medium stone,
8X8, with one line of engraving up to 12
characters, $100; and a place holder, 4X8,
no engraving, $50. Tax receipts will be
provided. Cheques can be made payable to
The Bayfield Town Hall and mailed to PO
Box 2078, Bayfield ON, NOM 1GO.
Organizations, school classes, businesses
and corporations are encouraged to be part
of this worthwhile community project.
The society hopes to have the brickwork
installed in the spring of next year.

with his daughter, Olga Palmer. (Dennis Pal photos)
George Youmatoff was born in 1918 on a British ship in the Port of Helsinki, Finland as his
parents fled from the Russian Revolutionary forces. His father, an Imperial Russian Ship's
Captain, and his mother, traveled to France where they remained for eight years. At that
point, they emigrated to Canada, settling in Montreal, where George learned to speak
English.
As a young man, he gave up an opportunity to study music professionally in New York, and
enlisted in the army, in the 6th Hussars, Montreal. He was shipped overseas where he
became, among other things, a motorcycle dispatch rider. He attended Sandhurst for
officer training and graduated ready to serve in the armored regiment. However, due to his
fluency with the Russian language, he was seconded to the British Forces Intelligence
Corps where he served for the remainder of the war.
He returned to Canada with his wife, Florence and two young daughters, Olga and Theo at
the end of World War Two. In the following years, he served in the Army Intelligence Corps
in Canada and overseas, until he left to become ordained into the Anglican Church.
His first civilian parish was in Hardisty, Alberta; however, after two years he was called
back into the army as a chaplain. After a number of postings, he retired from the Clinton
Air Force Station in the early 1970s and became the parish priest at Trinity Church,
Bayfield and St. James', Middleton. Before retiring to Bayfield, he served at the churches
of St. John's & St. Luke's, Brantford.
A few years after his wife's death, he remarried and moved to Goderich where he and his
wife Terry Boa-Youmatoff reside today.
He is a long serving Canadian Legion member and was the Legion Chaplain at Branch 140
in Clinton for many years.

A new series of holiday specials entitled, "Holiday Battle on the Block" is now being cast.
Two episodes will be shot in Ontario and two in the United States.
"We're looking for three Bayfield families who love to go crazy and pull out all the stops
when decorating the outside of their homes for the holidays," said Sue Skinner, a casting
director with SMS Concepts Ltd. of Toronto. "It would be wonderful to do an episode in
Bayfield. It is a very special place and so beautiful at Christmas."
Each episode will feature families in one community who pride themselves in decorating
the outside of their homes for the holidays. Each family is provided with a healthy budget
and asked to create something super -special from scratch within 48 hours. They may keep
only their lights and controllers from previous years. In a race against the clock, each family
works together to design, shop, source and build their holiday home masterpiece.
At stake are the bragging rights and the honor of being awarded the title of Best Holiday
House in front of the local community.
On the Sunday evening of filming, crowds will gather in the neighborhood and the show's
hosts, Kim Myles and Steve McGillivray, will ask each family for their home's big reveal,
"Hit that switch!"
The hosts, and a local panel of judges from the area, will carefully deliberate their final
decision based on beauty, originality and execution. And at the end of the episode the
winner will be announced.
Holiday Battle on the Block will begin shooting on Nov. 27 and each episode shoots for four
days. The families will be provided with an honorarium.
If your family would like to be considered for participation in the show please contact
Skinner at 416 690-2390 or email smsconcepts@rogers.com

I have had quite the whirlwind of a week ... on Saturday I had the pleasure of watching my handsome step -son marry his
chosen bride. It was a time for family and festivity on the seemingly enchanted grounds of Hart House and Knox College
Chapel at the University of Toronto.
For that reason, I enlisted some help in collecting the content for this week's Bayfield Breeze. I would like to thank the
very capable Dennis Pal, for providing us with the images for this week's photo story, and Dave Gillians and Olga
Palmer for sharing their words so that we could honor Nov. 11 in a way that it deserves to be recognized.
The date is symbolic of those freedoms that we take for granted the other 364 days of the year. The freedom to watch
two people very much in love pledge their lives to one another and the freedom for me to sit in the front pew, albeit a
little teary eyed, watching.
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome. Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m. Please email me at
bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-565-2443. Hope to see you online soon at www.villageofbayfield.com - Melody
