The Bluewater Babes red hatters gave a tip of the hat to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge
at their most recent meeting held at Trinity Anglican Church in Bayfield on May 25. The group
held a breakfast wedding reception with club members and inductees taking on the roles of
some of the more notable players in the wedding held on Apr. 29 in London, England between
Prince William of Wales and Catherine Middleton.
According to Edie Allaster, Queen of the Bluewater Babes, the idea for the event came from
she and Vice Queen of the organization, Zib Jones, when they heard about the wedding. They
elicited the help of fellow Bluewater Babe Gayle King who performed the role of The Royal
Chef for the day organizing things in the kitchen.
"The Duke and Duchess, Prince Henry and Prince Charles were chosen for the roles by myself
as they were our newcomers into the Bluewater Babes red hatters and they were being
inducted at this luncheon," explained Allaster. "They did not know they were playing these roles
until they arrived and they did a fabulous job adlibbing and showed great Bluewater Babe spirit.
Pippa was primping in the washroom the entire time and missed the wedding."
Edie Allaster has been Queen of the Bluewater
Babes since they began in June 2004, so she was
appropriately cast as Queen Elizabeth II at the
party. (Photo by Dianne Brandon)
Allaster, Jones and King prepared the food for
the luncheon and friends of the Bluewater Babes,
Deb Chartrand and Justine Chojnacka assisted
King in the kitchen on the big day.
"Gayle did a fabulous job of helping to make the
day a success with her decorating and catering
skills," said Allaster.
The menu included such delectables as Mousse
Royale Garnished with a Quiver of Wallies, Kiss
Me Kate Wedding Salad and a Delightful Slab of
Will's Gold Chocolate Groom's Cake.
The day went something like this: Guests arrived
at 11:30 a.m. and were greeted by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, played by Marilyn
Schinbein, of Windsor, ON. The Queen (Allaster)
was announced ten minutes later, she made her
grand entrance to "Dancing Queen" accompanied by her sovereign's escort (Jones). Prince
Harry (Helen Collins) arrived late, much to the chagrin of the priest and the Queen, who
declared to all she was not amused.
Mid-day, photos were taken surrounding a decorated blue convertible Mercedes in which the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Donna Styles and Helen Black) took their rightful places with
Prince Harry and Prince Charles (Alberta Moore) in the back. The official photographer for the
day was Brenda Wallis.
The Bluewater Babes had a lot of fun "re-enacting"; some aspects of the recent Royal Wedding. Here they

wholesome and healthy oxygen.
They concluded that when they filtered the car emissions through the algae in an airtight
space, the oxygen levels went up and the chemical or car emission levels went down.
The CWSF brought together over 500 finalists and 500 highly qualified judges from local
colleges, universities, and public and private sector labs. The students competed for medals,
cash awards, scholarships and other prizes worth $1 million.
Apart from the science, the fair is its own unique experience with banquets, sightseeing tours,
special events, dances and more. According to their website, the CWSF goes out of its way to
create an exciting cultural experience for all participants. The CWSF is organized by Youth

BAYFIELD LIONS HOST WALK TO
RAISE FUNDS FOR DOG GUIDES
To some people, their Dog Guides are their eyes, to others, their means to live independently.
On June 5, the Bayfield Lions' Club will be hosting the local "Purina Walk for Dog Guides" to
raise funds so that more Canadians with disabilities may have a dog guide.
The walk will start from behind the Bayfield Arena at 9 a.m. Registration and check-in starts at
8:30 a.m. Participants can also register and obtain pledge forms on-line at
www.purinawalkfordogsguides.com or by calling Lion Peter Westwood at 519 565-4533.
People do not have to have a dog to take part in the walk. Anyone who would like to make a
pledge toward the overall Bayfield total can do so by contacting Westwood at the number listed
above. Donations over $20 will receive a receipt for tax purposes.
After the walk, the human participants will be treated to free hot dogs, cookies and coffee while
the canines have an opportunity to compete for prizes that have been donated by Purina.
Raising and training a puppy to become a Dog Guide takes a lot of time and costs about
$20,000. The "Purina Walk for Dog Guides" is occurring in communities across Canada and all
of the money raised goes directly to the work of training and providing Dog Guides. The Lions
Foundation of Canada ensures that Dog Guides are provided free to each individual recipient.
Since 1983, the Lions Foundation of Canada has provided more than 1,600 specially trained
dogs to men, women and children across the country.

The Antique Show and Sale now in its 26th season is
a wonderful boon to the village and help from both

NOT GUILTY! NOT GUILTY! GUILTY!
CENTURY OLD MURDER RETRIED WITH HUMOR
Most of the characters in this play had absolutely
no resemblance to any historical figures, but
Keightley was determined to have a few Bayfield
"persons of note" represented. Travis Corben
played the part of Fred Elliott, the accused. Helen
Latimer portrayed poor Mrs. Maria Elliott, mother
of Fred and Harvey. Philip Keightley took on the
role of Dr. Ninian Woods, the village physician
who treated the dying Harvey.
The other cast members included: Bill Rowat, as
the defense attorney; Greg Stewart, as the

prosecuting attorney; Judith Gooding, as Judge
Madison; Nigel Hutton, as the clerk of the court;
Bob Merrimen, as the court policeman; Jane
Rowat, as Delia Delightful; and Jamie Thomas, as
Maisie Smith.
A song about the tragedy by the Ray Elliott Band
was also incorporated into the production. It was
written and performed by a relative of the Elliott
family who now resides in Saskatchewan. The
song "Hotel Albion" can be found on their album
Good Prairie Folk. To learn more about the group

"Obviously everyone in the audience had a great
time. The cast was really quite good for amateurs.
In fact many of us thought they were
outstanding... it was great silly fun for our family."
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

PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Theatre -goers exonerated a Bayfield boy of a murder committed 114 years ago – twice. And
then they convicted him once. Sounds like a very questionable judicial system, doesn't it? Well
that's "life" on the stage.
"Murder at the Albion Hotel: The Retrial of Fred Elliott" was an original production put forth by
the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS). Three performances of the play were given at the Bayfield
Town Hall on May 27-29 and all three shows were a complete sell-out!
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 was created around this most tragic
local event, she used a lot of artistic license with most of her characters; especially the ladies of
dubious character who came forward two years after Fred was convicted to proclaim his
innocence. The production was light and entertaining. The audience comprised the jury and the
play ended with their vote to determine Fred's fate.

Wow, improvisation is the name of the game when plans go awry and you have your Girl Guides in tow.
For our end of the year meeting we had planned on going to Goderich to visit the animal shelter and learn about all the good
work that the volunteers do there. Unfortunately, there must have been some miscommunication because when we arrived the
lights were out, the doors locked and the wee kitties peered out at us from the other side of the glass. Hopefully we will be able
to reschedule a field trip to the shelter in the fall.
The girls were disappointed but a quick decision to head to the splash pad in Victoria Park brightened them up. Would the
water be turned on was the question. It was a very hot afternoon and much to our delight we found the sprinklers bursting forth
with cool water. We jumped right in clothes and all — well we took our shoes and socks off first. Guiding is a game and
sometimes you need to just dance like no one is watching. It was a lot of fun and one of our parent helpers was kind enough to run to a nearby store and
procure towels for the lot of us.
Once we dried off we were back on schedule with reservations at Boston Pizza for dinner. The food was yummy and the company terrific. Our meeting
closed with the handing out of badges and special awards and dessert.
Hopefully I will see all these fine young ladies back again next year to continue the game and maybe they will bring some new faces too. For now I wish
them all a marvelous summer. But we will see each other again soon — our year end adventure to the Toronto Zoo in July will be here before we know it. -
