SOME MATINEE TICKETS REMAIN FOR ORIGINAL PRODUCTION 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 (BHS). In 1897, young Harvey Elliott was murdered outside the Albion Hotel after a drunken argument with his brother Fred. Although Bayfield playwright/director Judy Keightley's play, is created around this most tragic local event, she has used a lot of artistic license with most of her characters; especially the ladies of dubious character! She wants to keep the production light and entertaining. The twist is that even the cast doesn't know how each performance will end because the audience will decide Fred's fate. Although most of the characters in this play have absolutely no resemblance to any historical figures, Keightley was determined that at least two Bayfield "persons of note' were represented. Helen Latimer portrays poor Mrs. Maria Elliott. Her life could have been the basis of a Greek tragedy. She lost an infant son, her husband died young leaving her to raise the family and run a difficult business and then her sons get into a fatal brawl. Amid the comic parts of the play, there are many reminders about the sadness of Mrs. Elliott's life. Phillip Keightley as Dr. Ninian Woods. Philip Helen Latimer portrays Mrs. Maria Elliott.

There were actually two Dr. Ninian Woods, the original Canada Company doctor, and after 1890, his nephew Dr. Ninian W. Woods. They were so important to the community that they knew everything about everyone. Bill Rowat, president of the BHS said, "We are delighted with the enthusiastic response to our efforts to bring amateur theatre to Bayfield. The net proceeds will greatly help the BHS fund our goal of publishing more local historical materials.

And don't forget to tell me who took the photo for proper credit to be issued SUBMISSIONS In recent years I have discovered a love for perennials: Monkshood, Hostas, Wild Geraniums they are all starting to bloom and grow in my garden that I happily weeded and watered in earnest this week. My garden's fledging beauty helps me escape from all the travesty that seems to be everywhere else in the world. The fire in Great Slave Lake, Alberta, the tornado in Joplin, Missouri, the floods in countless states and provinces; everyday there seems to be a new disaster of gigantic proportions. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week221ssue99/tabid/504/Default.aspx 11/12 5/27/2019 Melody Falconer -Pounder Week 22 Issue 99 My heart goes out to all those individuals whose lives have changed in the instant that Mother Nature's wrath descended upon their communities. They are facing unimaginable hardships and as evidenced from previous natural disasters like the hurricane that struck New Orleans in 2005 it may take many, many years for them to recover. Maybe it is no wonder that one man announced the end of the world would come on May 21, 2011 and that he had ardent followers. The weather alone is enough to make one pause. However, I have more faith in the resiliency of the human spirit and respect for our natural world; the fresh new green shoots sprouting in my garden are testament to it. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
