Artistic Directors, Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata host their sixth annual Bayfield Festival of Song over the
first two weekends in June at the Bayfield Town Hall. (Submitted photo)
The exciting world of classical song comes to Bayfield June 2-10 when Artistic Directors
Stephen Ralls and Bruce Ubukata host the sixth annual Bayfield Festival of Song showcasing
an exciting roster of artists who have performed around the globe.
The 2012 festival, that will take patrons on a journey from 1900 through the Great War and into
the Roaring Twenties, will feature 10 vocalists including Canada's leading operatic soprano,
Adrianne Pieczonka and dedicated concert and recital artist Alexander Dobson. Another
highlight of the event will be a special program in honor of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.
Those who attend should watch out for some surprising historical notes and stories, with rarely
heard songs as well as more familiar music.
The popular Saturday morning Coffee Concerts will feature the music of one of the world's
best -loved composers, Franz Peter Schubert. Piano duets by Ralls & Ubukata will pay tribute
to this prolific Austrian composer. "Schubert in the Morning" will be performed on June 2. "Wish
you were Here" will feature a collection of musical picture -postcards from around the world and
will be staged on June 9. Both shows begin at 11 a.m.
Celebrity recitals will feature two phenomenal evenings of songs, duets and operatic favorites.
Canada's superstar soprano Pieczonka along with her partner mezzo-soprano Laura Tucker
will perform with Ralls on the piano on June 8. And then on June 9, Dobson will present a
delightful program for a summer night. Both shows start at 8 p.m. Praised for riveting
performances across North American and Europe these stars will no doubt entirely seduce the
audience with their vocal art!
Making welcome returns to the Festival are soprano Virginia Hatfield, mezzo Megan Latham
and baritone Geoffrey Sirett. They will perform "Upstairs/Downstairs" on June 2 at 8 p.m. This
production pays tribute to the long-time favorite TV show and will present a contrast of the art -
songs and ballads performed in an English drawing -room with the rollicking entertainment of
music -hall and ragtime which found favor below the stairs.
"Diamonds for a Queen" will be presented on June 3 and June 10 at 2:30 p.m. Her Majesty the
Queen will be saluted in two dazzling performances by four young talented artists: Andrea
Cerswell, soprano; Alexandra Beley, mezzo; Andrew Haji, tenor; and David Roth, baritone.
Ralls and Ubukata will accompany on the piano.
All concerts will be held at the Bayfield Town Hall. For complete 2012 concert information visit
the "Bayfield Festival" link at: aldeburghconnection.org. Tickets are available online or locally at
The Village Bookshop, 519 565-5600.

NUUD STIRLING'S STORY TO BE TOLD
ON TOWN HALL STAGE
Bayfield's own "Aunt Maud" had another identity. Before she settled into the role of the quiet
woman who resided with her sister at the corner of Victoria Place and Ann Street, she had
been a courageous nursing sister during WWI.
Tyler Hessel portrays Private "Punch"
Toms. (Submitted photos)
Judy Keightley, Bayfield's own playwright, has developed
characters for the play "A Woman at War — The Maud
Stirling Story", from the pages of Stirling's journal and
letters home. One such person is Private "Punch" Toms.
He was a Bayfield boy who enlisted in a regiment that
suffered many casualties during World War I. He, himself,
was severely wounded and coincidently met up with
Stirling, a woman from his own home -town, while in
hospital.
Another of Keightley's "characters" is Orderly "Mikey"
Pearson. This young baseball enthusiast had hoped to be
posted to the Western Front but ended up in Salonika,
tending to the wounded.
Theatre -goers will have
the opportunity to see
how these characters
interact and how the tale unfolds by purchasing tickets to
one of four upcoming performances from May 24-27 at the
Bayfield Town Hall.
All performances will start at 8 p.m. with the exception of
the Sunday on which there will be a 2 p.m. matinee
performance.
Tickets are selling for $12 per person. There will be a cash
bar. For tickets, please call Margaret Clydesdale at 519
236-7590 or Carol Thornley -Hall 519 565-5532. Tickets are

FUNDRAISING BOOK
The book "Not Like Any Other Sunday" is now
available in Bayfield at The Village Bookshop.
The book is described as "a collection of personal
stories from the day an F3 tornado struck Goderich
on Aug. 21, 2011.
With the fifth printing of the book, co-editors Cathy
Cove and Elizabeth Bundy -Cooper have announced
they will be donating a portion of the sales from this
printing to purchasing trees and shrubs to be planted
at the edge of the Goderich Cemetery where so
many trees were lost when the tornado hit.
With the assistance of Martin Quinn, from the
Goderich Parks Department, a "Not Like Any Other
Sunday" grove of mixed trees and shrubs will be
planted on the lands between the Goderich
Cemetery and the Maitland Trail that will stand as a
legacy to the contributors to the book.
A portion of the proceeds from the first four book
printings went to Victim Services of Huron County
totaling almost $19,000.
"Not Like Any Other Sunday" is a compilation of more
than 50 stories that came out of the F3 Tornado that
ripped through the town destroying many homes and
businesses and taking the life of one.
The book sells for $20. Mail orders are also available
via goderichstories@gmail.com.

]entje Steenbeek is ready to welcome the community to his Open House on Victoria Day Weekend as he
officially opens Stonefield Garden Centre and Market Ltd.
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER
Jentje Steenbeek is beaming. The flowers in his greenhouses are blooming. The asparagus is
ready and the rhubarb is coming along nicely. The strawberry plants are tucked safely in the
fridge and should be planted in the ground next week.
Steenbeek is the new owner of the former TEEM Farms at 77688 Orchard Line. The business
has been given a new life as Stonefield Garden Centre and Market Ltd.
The young man took ownership of the property, previously owned for thirty years by Ted and the
late Emma VanderWouden, in November 2011. It may be a new business but it is a business
that is not new to him.
"I worked with Ted for five summers. I dealt mainly with the wholesale customers and did yard
work and maintenance. The longer I worked here the more I liked it. I enjoyed the interaction
with people and really enjoyed the market end of the business ... the growing things," recalled
Steenbeek.
Steenbeek enjoyed a little detour on the way to owning the property on Orchard Line attending
university in Toronto and studying Political Science.
"After graduation I couldn't find work in my area of study. I worked in electronics and video for a
while and discovered there that I really liked interacting with people - customer service" he said.
"I have an entrepreneurial spirit and decided I should start this business now while I have the
energy and can put into it what it needs rather than wait until I'm 50."
He credits the VanderWoudens with presenting him with a good foundation.
"It was a well-established business and is
something to build on. I am fairly open to expand
into other areas, I just need to wait and see what
the community is after.
"I want to get people excited about coming here,"
he said.
He plans to do this by making small changes,
introducing new, modern products such as, a
larger and varied selection of pots and containers
and by introducing new flowers.
One big change to the property has been the
building of the new store and entrance to the
greenhouses. It is an energy efficient building
geared toward serving customers better. It offers
washrooms and an indoor space to store and sell
soils, mulches etc. Music is also now piping
through the greenhouses creating a relaxing
atmosphere for customers to shop in. It also
provides an outlet for Steenbeek to announce
what is new at the garden centre and market.
"The new store shows that I'm here for the long
term," said Steenbeek.
Steenbeek is also excited about the prospect of
developing the market side of the business.
"Forty years ago this was basically a vegetable
farm. I would like to concentrate on the vegetable
aspect of the business and watch it grow. That is
why we made "market" part of the name as it
opens the door to fresh produce.
"The local food experience is very popular — being
able to go out and pick your own strawberries —
people value fresh food. They will come up to the
cottage or the trailer for the weekend and then
pick up food to take back to the city for the week.
"We could offer fresh local food at anytime of the
year. I could grow rhubarb in the greenhouse, for
example, we just have to see if people would be
open to that," said Steenbeek.
Steenbeek notes that the community has been
really supportive with local businesses and
neighboring greenhouse owners coming out to
visit, providing tips and advice on how to succeed.
Former owner. Ted VanderWouden has also been
very supportive.
"Ted's been more than helpful. He comes out
about once a week. He is looking out for me and
wants the business to continue," he said.

His family has also been very supportive.
Steenbeek has been in Canada for 15 years
moving from Holland at nearly 10 years of age.
His family has always believed that it was
important to contribute to Canada. His parents
established a dairy farm near Varna.
He and his three brothers all went away to school
but have all since returned to the community. One
brother now operates the dairy farm while another
has a broiler farm and a third brother is in the
process of rebuilding a broiler farm also near
Varna.
They all gathered around the family table to enjoy
a Mother's Day meal this past weekend.
"During the meal we started talking about all the
things on the table we had made ourselves and
how satisfying that was — chicken, eggs,
asparagus — each brother contributed
something... now that tasted good."
And with Stonefield Garden Centre and Market
Ltd. holding their Open House this coming Victoria
Day Weekend others will be able to share in
Steenbeek's enthusiasm. He will be open for
business from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday through
Monday.

Things were put a little more right in this world at 8 a.m. on Friday, May 11 — yes, it was in that hour when the home of the tasty
pastry reopened its doors.
"Culbert's is open!" was the call heard round Goderich, neighboring towns and the Facebook Social Network. Yes, Culbert's
Bakery a county landmark of sorts, was back in business after that darn tornado threw everything that most folks around here
took for granted way up in the air.

Deprived of their trademark creme puff for almost nine months, pastry fans lined up two hours prior to opening to be the first
individuals to grab a number. The creme puffs and donuts went fast in fact when I walked through the doors just prior to 11 a.m.
there were mere crumbs left on the trays. But that didn't matter to me, I was very happy to see business had been brisk. No, I
just wanted to be on the inside, smell the familiar scent of baking, feel the wood floors beneath my feet, see the smiling faces
of long time staff and I wanted to buy something... anything... in the excitement I purchased a Chelsea bun jammed packed with
raisins... not my usual purchase but one I have savored with a cup of hot morning tea every day since.
No, Culbert's, I vow from this moment forth never to take you for granted again. Thanks, Darin, for persevering and reopening.
In doing so, you've done more for the spirit of this community than you will ever know! — Melody
