PLAY LOOSELY BASED ON CENTURY C��IZM_\ IY h" IMET 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. Local playwright/director, Judy Keightley has created an entertaining production that is loosely based on this very tragic event. The premise is that two local ladies of dubious character come forward with new evidence, after Fred Elliott, portrayed by Travis Corben, has already served two years in penitentiary for the murder of his brother Harvey. Jane Rowat takes on the role of Delia Delightful, an outrageous lady of dubious character. Many men in the village are very nervous about what she is going to say on the witness stand. She says she has new evidence but is she telling the truth? Why did she wait so long to tell her story? ]ane Rowat portrays Delia Delight- Jamie Thomas portrays Maisie Smith, a Chambermaid at the Albion Hotel. Two years after Fred Elliott's conviction for murdering his brother Harvey, Maisie steps forward with new evidence. Maisie is not as innocent as she appears and it will be up to the jury to decide whether she is telling the truth. Keightley's twist — the audience is the jury and will decide Fred's fate. 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. collected by Bayfield Guiding, will be available for purchase from noon to 7 p.m. Other sale times are 8 a.m. to mid-afternoon, May 21 and 11 a.m. to mid- afternoon, May 22.

There was a spot on the farm I grew up on where they flourished. It was a springtime tradition of mine to go on a wildflower hunt. I would take a walk through a small forest along a very worn path. It was at the end of this path that I would find nestled in a clearing, a grove of these stunning yellow flowers. They emerged as a beacon of brightness in an otherwise dark forest. Their mere existence seemed magical. So you can imagine my delight when I discovered that just on the edge of the property where I now live a marshy area existed. And sure enough every year a crop of Marsh Marigolds bursts forward. In fact, the very wet spring we are experiencing has produced the most glorious crop I have ever seen. This week, I couldn't resist their beauty. I had to photograph and share them with our subscribers (See Pixilated). To do them justice I pulled on my Wellingtons and waded right in with my camera and it was while I was stooped down to get the best angle that I discovered they also give off a very lovely fragrance. How wonderful to experience a moment of magic again as an adult! I do hope everyone takes some time this week to drink in the beauty of spring – it has been slow arriving but it has been worth the wait. - Melody cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week20lssue97/tabid/502/Default.aspx 9/10 5/27/2019 Week 20 Issue 97 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
