Briana Brown, a Bayfield native; Ally Connelly, of Goderich; and Shannon Scott, of Blyth, are taking their
production of Brown's Cassandra to London this month as part of the London Fringe Festival. (Submitted
photo)
Bayfield playwright, Briana Brown is tossing her name back into the mix this year at the London
Fringe Festival.
Her one -woman work, Cassandra, has been picked up by Blyth -based theatre company,
Serious FUN!, and entered into the 2010 London Fringe Festival.
"I think Briana is simply amazing," said Shannon Scott, Serious FUN! founder and Cassandra
director. "Her writing is clever, real, and funny ... I feel so blessed that Briana trusts me with her
words and I hope to bring truth to her vision of Cassandra yet again."
A graduate of York University, Brown has created and performed in a number of her own works
and collaborations including Cassandra, which she performed in fringe festivals across Canada
and as part of the curated FemFest in Winnipeg.
She is currently the director of artistic programs and artist facilitator with the Paprika Festival,
and associate producer with Seventh Stage Theatre Productions. Up next for Brown is a tour to
the Orlando and Victoria fringe festivals in a new collectively written piece, Reckless
Daughters, as well as directing the debut of her newest play, Almost, Again at the Toronto
Fringe in July.
Cassandra, was penned by Brown, directed by Scott, and acted by Goderich girl, Ally Connelly.
It also features the behind the scenes muscle of Blyth teens Sadie Chalmers and Kathryn
Peach.
The troupe of thespians has spent months preparing the comedic production for London's
largest drama and arts festival.
Grounded on the night before her tenth birthday, Cassandra Smith embarks upon a journey to
complete a "list of things necessary to achieve a successful, and therefore happy, life" before
the dreaded 'double -digits' arrive. Satirical and poignant, Cassandra is a one -woman
performance about a young girl struggling to gain the respect she deserves in a world filled with
adults who simple "don't hear."
"The script is witty and hilarious," Scott said. "The story line is charming and coy, but what
makes our production of Cassandra so unique is that the actor this time is herself a child. It's
that reason I think we are the exciting, innovative, stellar performance the festival is looking for
because, man, can this kid act."
Cassandra first hit the scene in 2006. At the time, Brown truly took on the weight of a one -
woman show, acting and directing herself.
Cassandra has won critical acclaim along the Fringe circuit throughout Ottawa, London,
Victoria and Vancouver. The play has also been featured at the Bad Dog Short Festival in
Toronto, and staged before Dora -winning production of Pyassa at the Theatre Passe Muraille in
2008.
Other events such as a barbecue, yard sale, rare
photo display and author book signing are being held
over the course of the weekend and these stories are
featured throughout this week's issue of the Bayfield
Breeze.
CHURCH BBQ
Knox Presbyterian Church, Bayfield is joining in the
excitement of the Sail and Canvas Festival by
holding a street side BBQ from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
June 19.
Available hot off the grill will be a sausage on a bun,

appreciate a topping of fried onions. There will also
be fresh buttery hot popcorn available to give visitors

that the festival has to offer.

SUNFLOWER SEEDS AVAILABLE AT
BLUEWATER BLOOMS KICK-OFF
Bayfield residents have always shown a strong sense of pride in their horticultural efforts but
this year they may be recognized for it.
The Municipality of Bluewater has entered the provincial competition in the 2010 Communities
in Bloom (CIB) program. The committee is referred to as the Bluewater Blooms Committee.
The "kick-off' for the Bluewater Blooms initiative will be held on June 19 on Main Street in front
of the library at 11 a.m. All interested groups and individuals are welcome to attend and
sunflower seeds will be available.
The Bluewater Blooms Committee would like to make everyone aware that the flower colors
chosen for the project are white, yellow, orange and bronze. Residents and businesses might
take these colors into consideration when organizing their spring plantings.
CIB is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental
responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a
national program, with focus on the promotion and value of green spaces in urban settings.
The program consists of communities receiving information and being evaluated either
provincially or nationally by a volunteer jury of trained professionals on the accomplishments of
their entire community (municipal, private, corporate and institutional sectors, citizens) on eight
key criteria.
Bluewater will participate with other communities in its population category, and be evaluated
by CIB judges on the eight program criteria. Bloom ratings from one to five blooms (five being
the highest ranking) are awarded to participating communities at a provincial awards ceremony
annually in the fall. The program provides for two communities in each province to participate in
the following year's national edition.
ERADICATE HUNGER DAY
The members of the Sparks, Brownies and Guides in Bayfield teamed up with the owners of Bayfield Foodland,
Marty and Janet Maidment, and their staff to hold Eradicate Hunger Day on June 12. The girls asked customers
to donate a pre-packaged bag of groceries to the local food bank, Blessings in Zurich. Customers responded
and the girls collected approximately 350 KGs of food for donation. The Eradicate Hunger and Poverty service
project was a part of the Girl Guides of Canada's 100th anniversary celebrations. Brownie Melanie Wilson,
Guide Raven Blyde and Spark Dana Wilson were very proud of the work they did on the project. (Photo by

FALCONER -POUNDER
Since 1985 the Huron Women's Shelter in

Safe Harbour Run is number three in the
Runpiker Series from Runners' Choice in
London. Other runs are held in Woodstock,
Dorchester, Embro, Exeter, Stratford, Ingersoll
and The Pinery Provincial Park. Each run
raises money for local charities.
"We were thrilled with the number of people
who came out to support us," said Lynne
Godkin, Bayfield Race Director. "We had
approximately 30 children seven years and
under in the Kiddy Trot. They ran 300 metres
around Clan Gregor Square to the finish line
and everyone received a medal."
In the 2 KM fun run/walk there were 49
participants and in the 5 KM there were 259.
Both runs started and ended at Clan Gregor
Square.
In the 5 KM run, the overall men's winners
were Justin Hall, of London, in a time of
15:33: second, Drew MacAuley, of Goderich,
in 15:48; and third, Jeff Thuss, of Goderich in

I'm hungry. My stomach often growls when I'm working toward a deadline, my brain needs more energy to write the next
sentence, so I pause and walk the worn path to the kitchen, I check the cupboard then the fridge. What do I want to eat? I'm
fortunate there is usually a granola bar, a yogurt or a handful of nuts available to satisfy my cravings. There is always a cup of
tea or a glass of milk. But for many among us, the cupboard is bare; the fridge is empty.
According to the Food Bank Canada website, despite the fact that many of Canada's rural communities are located in prime
agricultural areas, hunger is a reality for tens of thousands of this nation's rural residents. About half of the food banks
participating in HungerCount 2008 were located in rural communities, defined as having populations of fewer than 10,000
people.
The website organizes Canadians most affected by hunger in seven tidy categories: working poor, children, persons with disabilities, seniors, rural
dwellers, single parent families and recipients of social assistance.
But in a country ranked, by International Living magazine, ninth out of 194 countries as one of the best places to live for quality of life, should our
neighbors be going hungry?
There are many volunteers and supporters of area food banks that want to shout a collective, "No!" to that question. For the 100th anniversary service
project for Girl Guides of Canada, Eradicating Hunger and Poverty in our own communities was chosen. The girls, parents and Guiders of Bayfield
Guiding have made it their focus of service this year, with the support of the community and partners like Bayfield Foodland, they have worked to collect
420 KGs of food for our local food banks. On a national scale, 7,206 units from Sparks to Trefoil Guilds have worked to make a difference taking 51,245
actions against hunger and poverty. An action being an hour of service or a kilogram of food donated. It sounds like a lot but sadly for many of our nation's
hungry it is still not enough. - Melody
