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.

The ladies are (1-r): Evelyn Sturgeon (nee Gemeinhardt), Ethel Knight (nee Gemeinhardt) and Melvina Ericson. BAYFIELD HISTORICAL SOCIETY 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 cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week231ssue100/tabid/505/Default.aspx 7/12 5/27/2019 Week 23 Issue 100 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 visit www.myspace.com/rayelliottband.

One of them sent an email following, it read, "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 goal of publishing more local historical materials." View the photos and listen to the song just press the corresponding buttons and enjoy!

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. r Bayfield Mews Uclwiwe SS+ Community One Floor Townhomes 514. 555 •45+13 L www_bayfieldmews,ca SHARE M-0 0...'

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. - Mclody cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze[Week231ssuel00/tabid/505/Default.aspx 11/12 5/27/2019 Week 23 Issue 100 Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
