June 7, 2017 Vol. 8 Week 24 Issue 414 CO TY LUNCH CELEBRATES TOWN HALL ACCOMPLISHMENTS PHOTOS BY JACK PAL CLAN GREGOR TREES On Wednesday, May 31st, the Bayfield Lions' Club presented the Clan Gregor Square Tree Analysis Report to Kevin Jeffrey from the Municipality of Bluewater. Present at the meeting were Kevin Jeffrey; Lions Don Vance and Dave Nearingburg; Bryan Kaastra, the certified arborist; Sondra Buchner of the Bayfield Tree Project group and Roma Harris, chair of Bluewater's Heritage Committee of Council. In 1882, twenty shade trees were planted on the cleared ground that was designated to be a park. Some of these original trees remain along with many others that are over 100 years old. A certified arborist's analysis of the 94 trees in the Square has provided a 203 -page report that details the health of every tree and also gives recommendations as to the most critical actions to help sustain the park's beauty and character. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/Bayfield BreezelWeek24issue4l4/tabid/834/Default.aspx 1/25 6/13/2019 Week 24 Issue 414 Peter Keightley, owner of Drift Restaurant, (left) was joined by volunteers in getting the lunch ready to serve. (Photos by Jack Pal) Speaking on behalf of President Sandy Scotchmer, Patricia Baker thanked sponsors, board members both past and present, and the many individuals who contribute in so many ways to the success of the Bayfield Town Hall. Each year the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society hosts a Community Lunch. This year was the fifth annual event was held on May 29. It was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together and hear about what's been accomplished at the Town Hall, and to find out about all the events planned for 2017. Board Member Mark Edmunds outlined all the exciting upcoming concerts, and Paul Hill showed a video from the 2017 Cabaret and talked about plans for 2018 Cabaret. The Community Lunch also offers an opportunity to thank the community for all the help the Board of Directors receive. Speaking on behalf of President Sandy Scotchmer, Patricia Baker thanked sponsors, board members both past and present, and the many individuals who contribute in so many ways to the success of the Bayfield Town Hall. "It's remarkable that, given the age of the majority of the trees, only six have been earmarked for speedy removal in the interests of public safety. You can expect to see crews in the park in the coming days, but rest assured that any cutting is purely out of necessity," wrote Lion Kathy Gray in a press release. The Bayfield Lions' Club members wanted to ensure that the tree cover is protected in the park for generations to come. As well as paying for the arborist's inspection and report, the Lions have committed $9,000 over the next two years to fund tree replacements. This was chosen as a fitting Legacy Project for the members in this, the year celebrating the Bayfield Lions' 70th Anniversary, Lions International's 100th Anniversary, Canada's 150th Birthday and also the 185th Anniversary of the Founding of Bayfield. RUNBUGE SALE The storage unit north of the village will be open to accept donation for the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale this Saturday, June 10 from 10 a.m. to noon.

BHS -TREASURER NEEDED The Bayfield Historical Society (BHS) is seeking to fill the vacant Treasurer position on its board of directors. The Society's mission is to promote the education of Bayfield area residents and others through the discovery, collection, classification and preservation of material about the history of Bayfield and its people.

Over the past several years, the Board including our archivist has assumed a long term lease for the building; overseen significant capital upgrades to it; designed and renovated the Heritage Centre; continued to collect and index historical materials; obtain grants/donations to hire part-time staff to help with this work and carry out projects; served thousands of visitors and people doing research; and, fundraised for the restoration of the Helen MacLeod II. Currently the BHS's goals include contracting out the restoration of the Helen MacLeod II, continuing the valuable project work, categorizing and digitizing historical materials, increasing the visibility and profile of the BHS and being available as much as possible to visitors and researchers. It is a fun board that is responsible for important historical work in the community. The board meets once a month in the archives building.

THE MCCARTNEY YEARS IS COMING TO THE BAYFIELD TOWN HALL Yuri Pool There appears to be a real appetite for good quality tribute bands these days and therefore the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) is thrilled to announce that "The McCartney Years" will be taking to the stage to perform at the hall on June 24. There are many Beatles tributes. But there's only one show that celebrates the genius of Paul McCartney at the height of his career in the mid-1970s. And this is it. Praised by Beatles promoter Sid Bernstein, the man who brought the original Beatles to North America, as "the best on the scene today", The McCartney Years is a note -for -note faithful recreation of a mid- 1970s McCartney concert. Led by perfectionist Yuri Pool as Sir Paul, the band has a commitment to 100 per cent live and accurate reproductions of McCartney's concert experience. The show is period true, technically stunning and sonically explosive. Every note is live and played true to its original arrangement. It has set the standard for all who might follow in this significant body of work. And in addition fans report that it is a blast to watch and listen to. information call Doug Brown at 519 565-5187 or call 519 441-3224 and leave a message. BLUEWATER NEWS* Bluewater Councilors recently rejected Mayor Tyler Hessel's idea to change the structure of Bluewater Council from a basic ward system and replace it with a system of councilors elected at large within the entire municipality. His idea didn't appeal to the majority of council. A motion to review council's composition couldn't get any support and motion the failed. Hessel's second suggestion didn't gain traction with council either. He thinks the size of council could be smaller. The Ontario Government has set a deadline for making changes to the format of council compositions prior to the next election. The deadline is Dec. 31, 2017.

The vignettes were linked by a running historical commentary delivered by MC, and local historian, Dave Gillians. Greg Stewart led off as Sir John A. MacDonald, introducing the Canadian Confederation in 1867... challenging the audience to join in singing "God Save Our Queen". Next, Dr. Woods (Dave MacLaren) and Malcolm Cameron (Jerry Selk) debated whether a railway spur line or a cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek241ssue4l4/tabid/834/Default.aspx 13/25 6/13/2019 Week 24 Issue 414 Jerry Selk and Dave MacLaren Killian Sharpe and Roger Lewington deepened harbor would be more beneficial to Bayfield. The discovery of salt by men actually searching for "black gold" was illustrated with Samuel Platt (Roger Lewington) and Peter McEwen (Killian Sharpe). Rob Bundy, as Narcisse Cantin from St Joseph, gave a persuasive appeal for funding to develop a transportation hub there ... that never did materialize. Photos from Reuben Sallows of Goderich (played by Gary Lloyd -Rees) illustrated the power of his photographic genius in documenting the life and times of a rural community at the turn of the century. Leanne Kavanagh, portrayed Jennie Smilie, a native of Hensall, who became one of the first female surgeons in Canada. Then Kate Lloyd - Rees, as Maud Stirling, shared a vision of wartime service during WW1. Next came a vignette about the Fred and Cela Sloman family from Clinton who, for 39 years, lived with their family of seven on a railway car, traveling to remote parts of the north to provide children living in the outback with an education. Margaret Sloman's pet crow became an item of interest, appearing unexpectedly several times throughout the evening. Several Temperance Ladies (Alison Lobb, Helen Varekamp, Leigh Selk and Bronwyn Bechard) staged a protest horrified at the prospect of Huron becoming "wet" just before intermission, where wine was served. It was 1973 before the Albion in Bayfield was granted a liquor license. The second act opened at "The Pav" in Bayfield with Guy Lombardo playing. A group of airmen from the Air Base near Clinton (Rob Bundy, Roger Lewington, Dave MacLaren, and Killian Sharpe) tried to rouse the interest of some local ladies (Kate Lloyd -Rees, Leigh Selk, Leanne Kavanagh, Alison Lobb), and one got lucky! Nick Howell gave a particularly powerful performance as Steven Truscott, the 14 year-old accused, and found guilty in 1959, of murdering a schoolmate. You could hear a pin drop as he outlined his story. As the evening moved to the sixties, the protest at Central Huron Secondary School regarding hair length was hilarious with Jerry Selk, Paul Hill and Killian Sharpe sporting "attractive" wigs. A series of photos illustrated some of the better- known manufacturing and cultural enterprises of Huron County, success stories indeed. The story would not be complete without mention of the Tornado of 2011, and the evening finished with a promotional video highlighting Huron County today — courtesy of FauxPop Media Inc. At the close of the production, author and director, Keightley, was warmly recognized, along with cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek24issue4l4/tabid/834/Default.aspx 14/25 6/13/2019 Week 24 Issue 414 Rob Bundy Kate Lloyd -Rees producers Lobb and Margo Robeson, joined by the backstage assistant Blair Langley and the costume seamstresses, Varekamp and Bechard. The man responsible for all the technical efforts, the lighting, the sound and video, Philip Keightley, was particularly acknowledged and signaling out the exceptional historical photos. All four performances, with proceeds going to both The Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society and The Bayfield Historical Society and Archives, were well attended and the audience enjoyed their snapshot view of the past, serving to highlight the shaping and making of Huron County. Several suggested the production should be repeated!

This week I offer a few highlights from our wonder filled week in Stockholm, Sweden. It was a week to immerse in history and culture, to enjoy family and the celebrating of milestone birthdays for three first cousins. At a family supper, we were treated to a most delicious white chocolate and raspberry birthday cake and told to make a wish when blowing out the candles. But I didn't have to because right then in that moment my birthday wish had come true! - Melody First view of Stockholm arriving on ferry.
