MAYOR'S BREAKFAST A SHOWCASE
FOR CHAMBER SUCCESSES
TASTE OF HURON
Taste of Huron is back in 2012 and this year, the
festival is being organized a little bit differently. In fact
people will be able to "taste" Huron all summer long
instead of just during the usual more concentrated
week or two of past years.
Things will begin with a "Food A -Fare" on June 7 at
the Hessenland Country Inn in St. Joseph. For $55
per person, participants will enjoy a tapas-style menu
featuring locally grown items prepared by Chef Frank
Ihrig of Hessenland Country Inn. Guests will also
have the chance to bid on some great culinary
experiences in Huron County at the "Incredible
Edible Auction".
To learn more about these events visit the Taste of
Huron website at www.tasteofhuron.ca.

The Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce held their annual Mayor's Breakfast on the
morning of May 19th at the Bayfield Town Hall. The event was the perfect venue to share many
of the chamber's successes over the past year as well as to recognize individuals for their
commitment in both promoting and improving village life.
Mayor of the Municipality of Bluewater, Bill Dowson brought welcome and greetings from
council, as well as introducing councilors in attendance. He gave an update on several projects
including the Bayfield Library. MP Ben Lobb addressed those present and gave an update of
federal government initiatives. Tammy Dowdall, general manager of OLG Slots at Clinton
Raceway, brought greetings from OLG, the event sponsor.
Approximately 90 people attended the breakfast including area politicians, BACC members,
service club and community group leaders.
Three strategies developed from the Business Retention and Expansion Report of 2010 were
noted. These strategies are: Main Street Revitalization, Tourism Priorities and Attracting New
Residents by Emphasizing the Creative Economy.
Two big BACC events were mentioned at the breakfast, the tenth anniversary of one of these
calendar staples is in fact just around the corner, Sail and Canvas will be held on June16-17.
Christmas in Bayfield is the other very popular event set for Nov. 9-11. The parade will be held
on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 11 a.m.
Core projects of the BACC were also recognized. One being the chamber website:
www.villageofbayfield.com The BACC is indebted to Tuckersmith Telecommunications
Cooperative (TCC) for their support of this website. They also acknowledged BACC member,
Erin Samuel] for her work on the website, mybayfield.ca. It is an informative link to the chamber
site.
The ongoing successes of the Bayfield Breeze, the village's weekly online news publication;
and the Bayfield Calendar project, both a vehicle for promotion and fundraising, were also
mentioned.
Another HEDP supported project, My Bayfield Business Event, being created by Brittany Fry,
was also highlighted at the breakfast. The project is being designed to promote the village as
an unique destination for business seminars, meetings and sales meetings during the Spring
and Fall seasons. A new page to the chamber website will be added soon to support this
project.
Live music streaming from Pioneer Park will be a
welcome addition to the Bayfield Sail and Canvas
Festival Weekend as Pioneer Park Entertainment
presents a performance by the Canadian Celtic Choir
on June 16.
The choir will unite their voices in song starting at 8
p.m. in the park. The group, founded in 1996, sings
and promotes Celtic choral music and culture in
Southwestern Ontario.
Their current repertoire features songs from Ireland,
Scotland, England, Wales and the Canadian
Maritimes ranging from the traditional, including
those sung in Irish and Welsh, to modern music of
the 20th and 21st Century.
William Zadorsky was appointed conductor of the
Canadian Celtic Choir on April 1, 2010. Their
accompanist is Jean Willadsen. The group has
approximately 50 members and is based out of
London, ON.

marketer. Ujiye spoke on "Packaging Bayfield and Area". The second speaker was Napier
Simpson, director of Marketing and Operations for Regional Tourism Association #4, Huron,
Perth, Wellington and Waterloo counties.
Two long-time contributors to the village who will soon be moving away were given much
deserved recognition at the breakfast. Doug and Gail Grant were honored for their
contributions to the community, both tireless volunteers, and Doug himself once served as
Reeve of the village. The entire community will miss the couple and all those who attended the
event expressed this.
The BACC Executive also acknowledged the councilors and staff at the Municipality of
Bluewater for their ongoing support as well as that of the BACC membership, Huron County
and TCC. They also noted that area service clubs, the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association,
Bluewater Heritage Committee and other volunteer groups within the community go along way
in making the village a tremendous place in which to live.
At the conclusion of the event, Rev. Dr. Wayne Malott, vicar at Trinity Anglican Church was
pleased to accept donations collected from those who attended the event to go to the Bayfield
Food Bank, formerly known as "Feed My Sheep". A total of $400 was collected for this local
organization.
Louise Sygrove was commended for organizing the breakfast as well as those BACC members
who helped prepare the meal.
THE MAUD STIRLING STORY TO
PREMIERE THIS WEEK
Janice Nelson as Maude Stirling. (Submitted photo)
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 (for about 40
years), she had been a courageous nursing sister during WWI.
Very few knew of the dreadful time she experienced while stationed in Salonika. Conditions
were so appalling that many of the Canadian nurses posted at the military hospital where
Stirling worked became sick and exhausted themselves.
When the sirens wailed and the bombs began to fall, the medical staff would hurry to the
shelters with the walking wounded. However, Stirling held her ground, she stayed bravely at
the bedsides of the injured soldiers who could not be moved, doing her best to shield them
from almost certain death. For her incredible courage she was presented with the Royal Red
Cross at the end of WWI becoming the most decorated nurse in that terrible war.

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

Dwain Forrest, of Timber Outfitters, of Seaforth, dumps one of five bags filled with Rubber Ducks between the
piers at the Bayfield Harbour on Sunday afternoon. In the canoe behind, Tyler Hessel, of Outside Projects, of
Bayfield, does the same as his son Odin looks on.
The third edition of the Duck Race saw the Optimist Club sell out of tickets long before the 1 p.m. start of the
race. The event is fast becoming a tradition for families, gathered for the Victoria Day Weekend, to head down
to the pier and cheer on the ducks!
Optimist member Jay Fisher kept the crowd "quacking" up during the race.
fundraising initiative for the Optimist Club of
Bayfield.
Observers probably wouldn't describe the third
annual Optimist Club of Bayfield Rubber Duck
Race as fast paced. In fact due to the weather
conditions, clear sunny skies, temperatures
approaching the thirties, no wind and little current
it took about 20 minutes to determine the winners.
Yet despite the scorching temperatures fans of
the third annual event came out to urge their
ducks on! And all were buoyed by the knowledge
that the club had sold out their 500 tickets well in
advance of the 1 p.m. start time on Sunday, May
20.
Three lucky people earned bragging rights and
fabulous prizes when their ducks finally crossed
the finish line. Kim Eckritt, of Sarnia, took first
place, a BBQ, donated by Bayfield Garage -Auto
Pro; Bob Milligan, of Bayfield, earned second
place, a $200 gift certificate for Walmart, donated
by Brian Coombs Remax Bluewater Realty Inc.
and Judy Astle, of Woodstock, won third place, 18
holes of golf for two people and a cart donated by
Bluewater Golf Course.
The club is grateful to Dwain Forrest, of Timber
Outfitters, of Seaforth, for supplying canoes,
kayaks, man and girl power for the event. They
together with Outside Projects, of Bayfield,
represented by Tyler Hessel and his sons, as well
as Andy Cairns helped keep the race running
smoothly and were instrumental in fishing all 500
ducks out of the harbour at the end of the event.
Proceeds from the race will be used for youth
related community projects.
Hayden, Odin and Optimist Tyler Hessel were
ready to fish the ducks out of the water at the
conclusion of the race.

Harbour traffic was a welcome sight on Sunday as the slight motion created by the boats helped edge the ducks
a little closer to the finish line.
The Gundy cousins, Sophia, Clara, Maxim and Beatrice clutched their tickets in anticipation of having one of
their ducks cross the finish line.

SEASON
Came home from my Bayfield Guiding meeting tonight and glanced at my reflection as I walked past the hall mirror, I had dirt
on my nose! This made me smile as I thought of all the girls that went home tonight with dirt on their chins, foreheads and
cheeks — yep, I'm just a big kid after all.
We planted our garden tonight, it has been a long anticipated project and it was fun to watch the girls work to make it take
shape. We've planted all kinds of things tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, onions, sunflowers and even
some mystery seeds! In the fall if all goes well we should have the fixings for a fine meal or perhaps we'll try to make some
salsa.
I would like to thank the community at the Bayfield Mews for inviting us to use one of their beautiful garden plots to plant our
crop. We will be visiting regularly through the summer months to weed, water and watch our garden grow. - Melody
