SEARCH FOR SOLDIERS' IMAGES ENDS
WITH DEDICATION
�ti]3'[]'�r•I��i7�]771�K�I�I�aZi1�P►m 7
On May 1st at noon, members of the congregation of St. Andrew's United Church and the
Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) are going to dedicate the last two granite plaques with the
images of young men who were killed during World War I.
In July of 2008, on the 75th anniversary of the original dedication of the village's cenotaph, nine
granite plaques with the engraved images of the soldiers who perished in the two Great Wars
were unveiled as part of the memorial. The images of two other soldiers proved difficult to find.
In fact, for the past four years, members of the BHS have been searching for pictures of Victor
Evans and Arthur Clarke. Now their images will join the rest of the men from Bayfield who were
killed during the two World Wars.
Clan Gregor Square is the heart of Bayfield. This is where residents have always gathered to
celebrate and mourn together. It's fitting that images of all the local men who were killed while
serving their country are remembered and honored at the Cenotaph.
Victor Evans was a member of St. Andrew's
congregation when he was killed in April 1918, while
at the Royal Air Force training facility near Trenton.
He was only 21 years of age and had been a highly
respected teacher at a school on Parr Line when he
enlisted. His brother Dalton enlisted with the
Canadian Expeditionary Forces and his sister
Frances signed on with the American Nursing
Corps. The Bayfield Archives has a copy of his
obituary which took a full newspaper page. St.
Andrew's was packed for the funeral and many
residents were forced to wait outside as they paid
their last respects.
Arthur Clarke
Victor Evans
Arthur Clarke had already served in the British
Navy before immigrating to Canada with his wife
Emily. He was 36 years of age when he and his
brother Herbert enlisted. At that time they were
working on area farms near Hensall. Before he was
called up, Arthur had moved his four young
children (ages four to eight years) and his wife
Emily, to Bayfield. Both Arthur and Herbert Clarke
were killed during the horrific fighting around Vimy
Ridge. Emily remained in Bayfield and never
remarried. She raised her young children here and
she died in Bayfield in 1950.
The community is welcome to join in this service of
recognition.
CELEBRATE THE ART OF SONG AT THE
1010 11/1VATKI �
The Bayfield Town Hall will once again be filled with the sound of world-renowned musical
talents when the fifth annual Bayfield Festival of Song returns to the village for concerts on the
first two weekends of June.
The Aldeburgh Connection Artistic Directors Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata are offering up
a variety of unique experiences for music lovers.
Theatre -goers will have the opportunity to possibly
exonerate a Bayfield boy of a murder committed 114
years ago.
"Murder at the Albion Hotel: The Retrial of Fred
Elliott" is an original production being staged by the
Bayfield Historical Society.
In 1897, young Harvey Elliott was murdered outside
the Albion Hotel after a drunken argument with his
brother Fred.
Fred was convicted of murder after a hasty trial and
sent to penitentiary. New witnesses have come
forward with new evidence that may exonerate Fred.
And since the audience is the jury, the verdict could
very well differ every time.
Two shows will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Bayfield
Town Hall on May 27 and 28. A matinee will also be
staged in the hall at 2 p.m. on May 29.
Tickets cost $15 each and are available at the
Bayfield Archives Room or by calling Dave Gillians at
519 565-5884,
BOOKS AND BRUNCH
Antanas Sileika, author of Underground, will be the
next featured writer in the Books and Brunch series
presented by The Village Bookshop.
The event will be held on May 15 at 12:30 p.m. at
The Little Inn of Bayfield.
An article published in the Vancouver Sun said,
"Underground might be described as a historical love
story, but it is also a political military/spy thriller.
Sileika writes with a spare style that suits the action
sequences as well as the rare moments of
tenderness or humor. Entertaining and sometimes
shocking, the book describes a little-known period of
European history that has been kept underground far
too long."
Tickets cost $30 each and are available by calling
519 565-5600 or email

CHAOS OF THE CHOCOLATE KIND IN CLAN GREGOR
Sunny skies and mild temperatures were the order of the day when the annual Easter Egg Hunt was held in
Clan Gregor Square on the afternoon of Apr. 24. Crowds were similar in size to last year's with an estimate of
130 folks in attendance.
When the hunt begins participants needed to be quick off the mark to share in the 4,000 eggs that were
scattered across the lawn.
The Easter Egg Hunt is hosted by the Optimist Club of Bayfield each year. Participants can purchase a ticket on
a basket of goodies. The proceeds help cover hunt expenses.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
Four thousand chocolate Easter eggs were
strewn about the lawn in Clan Gregor Square at 1
p.m. on Apr. 24. By 1:15 p.m. the members of the
Bayfield Optimist Club who hosted the event were
all packed up and heading for home.
About 130 people descended on the park and
those individuals under four feet tall conquered
the field of candy in mere minutes.
Tickets were also sold for the raffle of a basket
filled with Easter treats and toys. Russell Heath,
and his son, Teddy, of Clinton were the lucky
winners. The proceeds from the raffle help cover
the hunt expenses.
McLean Noble, 3, of Bayfield,

SUBMISSIONS
Most people know that I am a life-long monarchist. Everywhere I go people are asking me if I'm excited about the upcoming
Royal nuptials between Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton. Then they quickly follow-up with, "So you'll be
getting up early to watch it live, right?" My answers seem to shock them.
With regret I state that I'm not excited and I plan to set the DVR and watch it all when it is convenient.
In fact my feelings about the event are tinged with sadness. Too much has happened since I was a 14 year-old girl glued to the
television in the wee morning hours of July 29, 1981. Diana was my fairy tale princess and I was swept up in the "happily ever
after" spin. Thirty years later I know better.
My wish for William and Kate is to learn from the mistakes of the past and despite the many adversities they are sure to face,
remain a solid, united team. For the world that shares in their wedded bliss this week will be ready and waiting to knock them off their pedestals in the
years to come.
Despite my trepidations, I am a romantic at heart, and I'm sure once I start watching the day's events unfold I will be happy to toast to the health of our
future King and Queen with a breakfast Mimosa or two. Hip, hip, hooray! - Melody
