But then it stared to get bigger, and the whole building started swaying back and forth. I started to get worried when I saw the looks on my �T T� ANGLICAN CHURCH Japanese colleagues' faces. And it went on for what felt like ages. I'm sure it was more than a minute, maybe even two, which is very unusual for a quake. As the building got into full swing, cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Weekl21ssue89/tabid/493/Default.aspx 2/11 5/27/2019 Week 12 Issue 89 stuff started falling over and off desks, and by then everyone was crouched down or under their desks. After the shaking stopped, the building continued to sway from its own momentum, making a deep creaking sound like you'd hear being in the hull of a huge ship. From my view I could see the fire in Odaiba as a huge plume of grey smoke. I could also see smoke stacks (perhaps from power plants or refineries) towards Yokohama spewing flames from their tops. I assume it was a normal response, like a pressure valve release, because those flames quickly disappeared. Then someone started calling instructions for us all to move to the hall towards the center of the building, so people grabbed their coats and bags and left the office. Huge safety doors had closed off access to the elevators, and we all sat along the inner hallway waiting to hear what to do next. Someone came around with bottled water for everyone (an automatic precaution as you never know when you might find yourself short of water in these types of situations), but as it was calming down and the building was gently rocking by this point (say about 10 minutes later), we all went back into the office to look out the windows and turn on the TV to see what had happened. Probably less than 10 minutes after that, another small tremor hit, causing the building to pick up speed again, and we all moved back to the hallway. Then a few minutes after that, a really big, and again surprisingly long-lasting after -shock hit, and it was time to leave the building. We all made our way down by the stairs, and by the bottom, I couldn't tell if my legs were shaking just from the 30 -story climb, or from post -adrenaline. I suspect both. We gathered in the square in front of the building with the flood of other people coming out and milled around a bit, everyone trying to contact loved ones. I wasn't getting a response. Not a nice feeling. A little later, our CFO cleared people to go back to the office if they needed anything, but that obviously we wouldn't be going back to work. I had forgotten some key documents I need to mail this weekend, so I gave my name (with instructions to check in when I got back) and set off with some colleagues to climb back up to the 30th floor. The stairwell was packed with people going both directions, so it was slow going at times. And there are restaurants on the 38th and 39th floor of the building, so we passed a fair number of elderly people, who had probably just been finishing their lunch, trying to make their way down. It must have been hellish. It was bad enough for relatively in -shape and much younger people. After a brief rest in the office, and a check in on the people who had been too afraid to evacuate by the stairs to make a list of names of people still there, we headed back down. My legs are still aching! Checked in back on the ground and to see if there was anything I could do, or if I could offer a place to stay for anyone who would have trouble getting home, and was told that everyone had made arrangements, so headed home. It was 5 p.m. (I know because in Japan, a song plays from loud -speakers in public spaces across the country at 5 p.m. every day.) It was strange to see so many people walking. It takes me about 20 minutes to get home. It was here that he was much relieved to find his wife waiting for him. Jordan is no stranger to Bayfield.

Bayfield's own, Hugh Lobb (pictured rear centre) is one of the youth involved in the project. (Submitted photo) Bayfield's own, Hugh Lobb, is one of 15 dedicated youth from across the county that are now in the final rehearsals for Huron EPIC Youth's production of Bertolt Brecht's "The Good Soul of Szechuan". The play is being mounted on the Blyth Festival stage from Apr. 1-3. Since early January, youth from Wingham, Egmondville, Zurich, Brussels, Goderich, Clinton and Bayfield have gathered in the rehearsal hall of the Blyth Festival to rehearse and prepare for the upcoming production. It has been a large undertaking but not one they have had to go alone. Three Canadian theatre professionals: Director, Roger Shank; Costume and Set Designer, Sarah Armstrong; and Lighting and Video Designer, Rick Rose, have been providing guidance and expertise throughout the process. As the production dates draw near, preparations have grown more hectic as the youth involved pull all of the final production elements together and get ready to present their exciting multi -media theatre production to the public. "The Good Soul of Szechuan", is a modern translation by David Harrower of Bertolt Brecht's 1943 original script of the same name. The action of the play explores one central question: what does it mean to be "good" in a world filled with hunger, self-interest and poverty? It is a complex question with many opposing view -points that Brecht's script never tries to clearly answer; leaving it to the audience to decide for themselves what is good and moral. Huron EPIC Youth's production incorporates current and timely themes and events pulled from today's global front-page headlines. Combining live performance with real time video and digital projections, the production takes a close look at how youth are using technology to express their discontent and advocate for political and social change via the internet and social media sites such as Facebook. The play's Director, Roger Shank said, "The youth participants have taken on this project and play with gusto and vigor and have created an exciting multi -media production that will be both memorable and moving for audiences." Performances take place at the Blyth Festival on: Apr. 1-2 at 8 p.m. and Apr. 3 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for students. They are available through the Blyth Festival Box Office, 519 523-9300. Huron EPIC (Engaging People In Culture) Youth is a free, annual arts enrichment program for Huron County youth between the ages of 13 and 20 years of age. The program is produced in partnership by; Huron Arts & Heritage Network, Huron County Library and The Blyth Festival along with community stakeholders and financial assistance from the Ontario Arts Council's Arts Education Program, Goderich and Clinton Lions' Clubs. care.

That powerful wave of black water destroying everything in its wake reminding us how fragile everything mankind holds dear really is — reminding us we are only guests on this planet. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan has been at the forefront of my thoughts this week. As many of you do, I too know someone who lives on the island, in Tokyo. Some years ago, an old Holmesville Public School classmate went to Japan to teach, ended up establishing a home and is now raising his family there. Melody Falconer -Pounder Shortly after the quake happened he had the presence of mind to post a message up on Facebook letting all his friends and family know that he and his clan were okay and he has since posted little updates. Apparently the city store shelves are emptying fast of food items but there still are plenty of beer and potato chips available to purchase. I was glad to see he hadn't lost his good old Huron County sense of humor. I was also quite honored to have Roy Price contact me offering to share his son Jordan's correspondence with our readership. I thank them for their generosity. I think it will help those at home understand a little better how folks are coping in the crisis. Maybe this disaster is also a reminder that advances in travel, technology and communication have made our world so much smaller. It is a reminder that your neighbors don't just live down the street they live in all parts of the globe. Let's all try and look out for one another — for we may be guests but we are resilient ones. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
