ANGLICAN CHURCH
It is a Lenten tradition at Trinity Anglican Church to
join in fellowship over a hearty bowl of soup while
delighting in a great cinematic work.
"Soup and a Movie at Trinity" will be held over four
Mondays from now until March 18. The evenings are
held 6-9 p.m. A free will offering is asked to cover the
cost of soup and buns and all in the community are
welcome.
The schedule of movies is as follows: The Vow, Feb.
25; We Bought a Zoo, March 4; The Best Exotic
Marigold Hotel, March 11; People Like Us, March 18.

Week 09 Issue 190
A generous crowd gathered in Clan Gregor Square after dark on Feb. 16 to "Light the Night". This Family Day
Weekend event was sponsored by Brian Coombs of Remax Bluewater Realty.
This year the event began in Clan Gregor Square and participants walked along Main Street's
northern sidewalk until they came to The Little Inn of Bayfield where they were rewarded with
hot chocolate and cookies.
Both glow sticks and sparklers were used to light the way thanks to the generosity of event
sponsors Brian Coombs, of Remax Bluewater Realty, and Brandon's Hardware.
Rich Samuell helped hand out glow sticks to everyone who came to "Light the Night". The glow sticks were
donated for the evening by Brandon's Hardware.
The first is Men's Breakfast — a great time to share
fellowship and food. The first will be held at the
Bayfield Diner at 8:30 a.m. Anyone wishing to attend
should contact Ken Larone at 519 565-4280.
The second is Games Night. Starting at 6:30 p.m. all
are invited to share in a Pot Luck Supper and then
join in some good old-fashioned board games.
Anyone who has a game they would like to share is
invited to bring it along too.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
A p[AC� CAtIEU '
Laura Garner, manager and curator at the Lucan
Heritage and Donnelly Museum, will be the guest
presenter at the Bayfield Historical Society's next
meeting, Feb. 25. (Photo courtesy Exeter Times
Advocate)
Laura Garner, the Manager -Curator of the Lucan
Area Heritage and Donnelly Museum will give a
presentation about the Wilberforce Colony near
Lucan, one of the first black settlements in Canada,
at the Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) meeting on
Feb. 25.
The Wilberforce display at the Lucan Heritage and
Donnelly Museum is currently their featured program.
The Province of Ontario plaque at the location of the
settlement states, "In 1829, a group of Negro slaves
in Cincinnati decided to seek a more secure refuge in
Canada. In 1830, with the help of the Quakers in
Oberlin, Ohio, they purchased 800 acres of land from
the Canada Company. A settlement was established,
the first in Biddulph Township, and groups from New
England and New York State joined those from Ohio.
By 1833, there were thirty-two families, two schools
and a sawmill in this settlement, which was named
after the great British abolitionist, William
Wilberforce. One of the earliest Negro colonies in
Upper Canada, its population dwindled rapidly in the
1840s although some families remained for more
than a generation."
Wilberforce thrived and then disappeared at a time
when Bayfield was still in its very earliest phase of
settlement.
Those who attend this meeting to be held at the
Bayfield Lions' Community Building at 7:30 p.m. will
learn about this important part of local history during,
what is, Black History month. Garner will also talk
about the "Underground Railroad" for blacks during
and after the Civil War.

Family Day Weekend events proved to be fun for all ages
and "Light the Night" was no exception.
Week 09 Issue 190

do so.

Langley at 519 565-2894 or email

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
"I was a Stranger and You Welcomed Me" is the
theme of this year's World Day of Prayer Service to
be held on March 1.
The program was prepared by the World Day of
Prayer Committee in France based on the Gospel
text of Matthew 25.
World Day of Prayer is held in more than 170
countries and regions bringing together Christian
women of many traditions to observe a common day
of prayer each year, and who, in many countries,
have a continuing relationship in prayer and service.
In Bayfield the service will be held at Trinity Anglican
Church beginning at 2 p.m. Members of The Church
on the Way, Knox Presbyterian Church, St. Andrew's
United and Trinity will participate in the service. All in
the community, both men and women, are invited to
attend.

hospital's conference room on Feb. 4. Several
members went on an Orientation Tour of the hospital,
led by Bud Bell. Other members will tour the hospital
at a later date.

"SIXTIES DOING THE 60S" A SOLD OUT EVENING OF PEACE,
LOVE AND MORE
PHOTOS AND STORY BY GARY LLOYD-
REES
On Feb. 16, a sold out audience was treated to an
international star-studded night to remember,
when the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society
(BTHHS) and a number of local Bayfield residents
were transformed for a one-off cabaret

Philip Keightley's Donovan really seemed to enjoy the attention of Kate Lloyd -Rees' Cher and Jamie Thomas'
Nancy Sinatra during the "Sixties doing the 60s" Dress Rehearsal on Thursday night. The sold -out Cabaret was
staged as a fundraiser for the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society in the Bayfield Town Hall on the evening of
Feb. 16.
(L -r) Doug Brown, Barry Detenbeck, Cal Scotchmer and Jerry Selk portrayed the Fab Four from Liverpool.
performance in celebration of the Decade of Love
— "Sixties doing the 60's".
The evening was written and directed for the
BTHHS by Judy Keightley.
"Following the success of last year's 1940s
cabaret "We'll Meet Again", it seemed a natural
follow up to showcase the events and performers
that shaped the most loved decade of all: the
1960s," said Keightley.
Keightley, who also acted as MC for the evening,
both introduced the acts and reminded the
enthusiastic audience of some of the most
momentous events of the decade.
The evening's performances got underway to the
sound of "The King" himself — Elvis Presley (Paul
Hill). He was followed by some of the decades
most popular performers including, The Beatles
(Doug Brown, Barry Detenbeck, Jerry Selk and
Cal Scotchmer), Peter, Paul and Mary (Helen
Latimer joined by Paul Hill and Dwight Nelson),
Sonny and Cher (Dave Giliians and Kate Lloyd -
Rees). The first half also featured a performance
by The Rolling Stones. The group was comprised
of Scott Robeson on drums together with The
Beatles cast doing double duty after a quick
change of wardrobe. Bob Dylan (Dwight Nelson)
closed the first half of the evening's performance.
The evening's second half featured several of the
decade's most beloved singers: Roy Orbison
(Gary Lloyd -Rees), Petula Clark (Lisa Stewart),
Nancy Sinatra (Jamie Thomas), Canada's own
Joni Mitchell (Janice Nelson), and Donovan
(Philip Keightley). Donovan was supported by a
never before seen group of dancers including,
Cher, Joni Mitchell, Nancy Sinatra and Mary
Travers.
They were followed by a moving "Peace Medley"
arranged by Leslie Bella and sung by The Glee
Sisters who were then joined by the entire cast for
an ensemble rendition of "Give Peace a Chance".
A fitting segue, perhaps, to the upcoming
Keightley production of "The Bloodless Battle of
Bayfield" which is coming to the Bayfield Town
Hall in May and will be a fundraiser for the
Bayfield Historical Society.
Behind the scenes, Philip Keightley was the
technical director and Margo Robeson and Mary -
Beth Larone were the producers. Jane MacLaren
was responsible for the fantastic decoration of the
hall and Natalie Tarnawski worked wonders with
hair and make-up.
Editor's Note: The photos, with the exception of
the image of "Petula Clark" were taken at the
"Sixties Doing the 60s" Dress Rehearsal prior to
the decorating of the stage and hall.

FIRE, VVD;D AND ICE = CHEMICAL REACTIONS, AIR PRESSUE
AND STATES OF MATTER
Who new a leaf blower could provide so much hilarity? Laura Eyraud, general manager of Mad Science of
London that's who!
PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY
FALCONER -POUNDER
There is method in the madness behind a Mad
Science Show and it is helping children learn
without their realizing it.
Beach balls and ping pongs floating on air, fast
flames and burping potions may dazzle and
intrigue but at the same time they are all props
used to instruct in the ways of chemical reactions,
states of matter and air pressure.
In her role as Chlora Fluoro Carbon, CFC for
short, Laura Eyraud, general manager of Mad
Science of London, got the nearly 50 children in
attendance at the Fire, Wind and Ice Show
excited about Science. The show was presented
at the Bayfield Town Hall on the afternoon of Feb.
16.

Many of the children could hardly contain their excitement while waiting for the Fire, Wind and Ice Show to
begin on Saturday afternoon at the Bayfield Town Hall.
Laura Eyraud demonstrated a fire experiment using Flash Paper. It is coated
with a chemical mixture that makes it burn fast, furious and without ash when lit. She also constantly reminded
the children never to play with fire.
Mad Science was the theme of the Family Day
Weekend events in the village and Main Street
Optometric as well as the Bayfield Town Hall
sponsored the show.
According to Eyraud, Mad Science has been in
London for 12 years and is now a worldwide
franchise. Mad Science brings learning to the
children putting on shows at birthday parties,
schools, community and corporate events. It

Last Wednesday afternoon took a tragic turn in the Pounder household when we lost a member of our feline family.
Gabrielle, or Gabby as she affectionately had become known, died suddenly after suffering a massive stroke.
She was an amazing little creature never tipping the scales at more than about eight pounds. She lived for almost
seventeen years and was a perpetual kitten. She would explore in cupboards and climb to the highest heights in our
walk-in closet; she would leap great distances and run circles around her younger feline companions. When something
of interest played out she was at the heart of it. It was a pleasure to be her human and we will miss her tremendously.
When we lose a pet I like to pay tribute to them in some way and with this age of social networking I thought of a way I
could pay her love for us forward.
To celebrate her life I set up a challenge on Facebook asking all to do something special for those cats less fortunate
Gabby than our own. And I would be most appreciative to those Bayfield Breeze subscribers who would like to join in — you
don't need Facebook to participate. Gabby's favorite treat was Beef Flavored Temptations - the kind in the red packet.
You could put salmon, beef or chicken out on the counter and she would only eat the beef ones every time. So here is the challenge - next time you are
grocery shopping please pick up a package of the "Red Temptations" and drop it off at your nearest pet shelter or place it in the appropriate container at
the store entrance if they have one.
And then share that you have done so either on the Facebook event page or drop me an email at the address below. Please do this during "Heart month"
between today and Feb. 28.
To date about 40 bags of Temptations treats have been donated to shelters in Ottawa; Houston, Texas; Medicine Hat, Alberta; Toronto, Waterloo, Exeter
and Goderich. And in an extraordinary turn of events, Whiskas recognized Gabby as their Temptations Canada Cat of the Week and are going to donate
bags of Beef Flavored Temptations to the Huron SPCA in Goderich in her honor.
Let's keep the momentum going. You too can brighten the lives of shelter cats one Red Temptations bag at a time! I think Gabby would have liked that. -
