The Young Novelists (Submitted photo)
On Friday, June 22, the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society will welcome "The Young
Novelists".
Since the band's inception in 2009, The Young Novelists' effortless harmonies have been
heard across stages in the U.S. and Canada and have been compared to everyone from "The
Band" to "Wilco". The Town Hall performance follows the recent release of their new album, "In
City & Country", produced by Juno -winning producer Howard Bilerman who has also worked
with "Arcade Fire" and "Leonard Cohen".
When they first met, band members, Graydon James and Laura Spink had no idea that they
would be married one day - much less touring the world together as The Young Novelists. They
have released three full-length albums, won numerous awards and continuous praise for their
unmatched, effortless harmonies. But for their new album. the Toronto-based band decided to
travel out of the city and in to small-town Ontario in order to connect the two places.
After years of firsthand experience combined with historical research, James and Spink wrote
over 30 songs inspired by a dozen Canadian towns. From that set, "In City & Country" was
born, a collection of ten songs that tell the universal stories of both parallels while highlighting
the differences, similarities and everything in-between. One of the songs, "Two of a Kind", was
inspired by a visit to Goderich!
They both grew up in Ontario; Spink in Peterborough and James in Verona, a small eastern
town with a population of a mere 1,800. They both moved to Waterloo for university, where
they met via community theatre, but it wasn't until James decided to refocus his career from
drummer to front man that they combined their talent musically.
"I had written a bunch of songs and recorded them in my basement, mostly for posterity," said
James, "I asked Laura to sing harmony on some of the songs and it instantly had this magical
vibe."
Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. There is a cash bar. Doors open at 7 p.m. and
the concert will begin at 7:30 p.m.
For tickets call Mark Edmunds 519 521-2994 or Sandy Scotchmer at 519 565-2830 or
purchase online at www.ticketscene.ca.
AUDIENCES SURE TO SWOON OVER
THE DREAMBOATS RETURN
during this time by the family. Since the donation of
the property, Monk has been the lead manager to
continue to manage the property in an

TWENTY-THREE TREES ADDED TO
VILLAGE CANOPY - JUST ADD WATER
Last week the Bayfield Tree Project (BTP) planted another 23 trees in the village. Maples,
Sycamores, Oaks, Tulips, and Lindens now will grace our streets and Right of Way walkways
providing beauty and shade for all.
This planting will bring the total to 475 trees planted in the village by the BTP over the last
several years.
"Thanks to the work of our volunteers and the donations by residents this endeavor continues
to beautify our streets and walkways," said Sondra Buchner, with the BTP. "Your donation
would be greatly appreciated to keep this initiative alive until our village once again has a full
tree canopy throughout."
Each tree planted, mulched, fertilized and staked costs approximately $150 and all donations
over $20.00 will receive a tax receipt. Donations can be sent to: ABCA Foundation: Bayfield
Tree Project, c/o PO Box 164,
Bayfield, ON, NOM 1 GO.
Visitors can take in the gardens while enjoying local
music and art displays. A wide variety of garden
styles and plant products are featured on this garden
tour, which also includes two bonus projects, as well
as refreshments.
The tour will run rain or shine from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Tickets and maps will be available at St. Andrews
United Church on Hwy 21, across from Clan Gregor
Square on the day of the tour. The cost will be $15

And now that the warm, dry weather is here
these trees are in dire need of watering each and every week. Particularly the 475 relatively
new trees that have been planted by the BTP over the last few years including those planted
as recently as last week.
The best and most efficient watering practices are those that provide the tree with a steady
trickle of water rather than an over powering gush which just ends up as run off not helping the
tree at all.
"You can provide this steady flow by placing the garden hose to low water pressure and leave it
to trickle away for an hour or so, this way the tree roots will receive the required moisture and it
will flourish. It is advisable to do this once a week during the growing season particularly if
there is little to no rain fall. Your attention to this watering is greatly appreciated," concluded
Buchner.

Leslee Squirrell has her own studio to paint in, on her cottage property, and is planning to host acrylic painting
lessons for beginners and intermediate painters in June, July and August. (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
In early spring of 2016 a notice was posted in the Bayfield Breeze asking if anyone was
interested in forming an artist association in Bayfield. Rev. Elise Feltrin saw the article in the
online paper and offered the group the lower hall at the church to hold their meeting.
Six people answered the notice and over coffee the Bayfield Artist Guild (BAG) was born.
Now entering its third summer, BAG boasts 29 registered members. This diverse group of
visual artists meet during the summer months on Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon every two weeks
to paint "en plein air' in Clan Gregor Square and Pioneer Park or other prearranged locations
They held their first meeting of the new season on May 17 and will meet into September.
BAG Founder, Leslee Squirrell notes that there is a comfortable proportion between
experienced and novice artists and people of all talent levels are welcome to take advantage of
the opportunity to learn from others.
A hobby artist, Squirrell has been painting since she was 11 years -old, with a 25 -year hiatus
while she raised her family and conducted an award-winning career in Interior Design. Now
she has her own studio to paint in, on her cottage property, and is planning to host acrylic
painting lessons for beginners and intermediate painters in June, July and August.
"People want to paint," said Squirrell. "I was invited by the Friends of the Bayfield Library
(FOBL) to run a painting session and 22 people signed up and we had a waiting list, from that
experience I decided I would be happy to share my knowledge with others."
Squirrell describes the classes as informal; painting and hanging out in the backyard at the
cottage. Students can choose from a variety of subjects. Flowers, sunsets or still-life are but
examples. Lessons will be given in painting with acrylics and will run rain or shine. Private and
semi -private lessons can be arranged.
Full day and half day sessions can be arranged and will include lunch. A sample schedule is as
follows: 9 a.m., coffee and discussion; 9:30 a.m. to noon, painting instruction; 12:15 p.m. lunch
on the covered deck; 1:30-4 p.m. painting "en plein air", in the garden; 4-5 p.m. cocktail and
wrap up.
To reserve a date or to learn about fees, call the artist at 519 588-2078 or email
Leslee@lsgbydesign.ca.
Squirrel finds Bayfield a place that inspires creative energy — using such words as "calming",
"super -positive" and "healthy" to explain her feelings behind this thought.
"Even the drive here is calming," she laughed. "We live in Waterloo and plan to retire here. I
have been coming here since I was in my 20s — it was a convenient place for a day trip with the

Over the years, Carroll acted as Editor for several issues of the Huron Historical Notes. In
1997, as the current Director of the Huron County Board of Education he was editor for Volume
XXXIII Local School System Histories 1832-1997. With the supervision of Executive Secretary
Janet O' Rourke and Summer Experience Grant Program funding, two students were hired to
compile information for use in this issue. It provided a written record of Huron education prior to
the new 'regional era' that began in 1998.
In 2001-02, Carroll shared his passion for and vast knowledge of Marine Heritage as Editor of
Volume XXXVII Celebrating Our Marine Heritage and Volume XXXVIII The Proceedings of the
Marine Heritage Festival 2002. He was editor again in 2003 for Volume XXXIX Celebrating Our
Local History "A Potpourri of Miscellania".
Carroll was a frequent guest speaker at HCHS meetings. He continued to passionately
encourage the organization to be active in community heritage events such as the 100th
Anniversary Commemorations of the Great Storm of 1913.
In 1972, the Huron County Gaol was slated for closure in March 1973. Carroll was Reeve for
the Town of Goderich and a Member of Huron County Council as the deliberations for the

future use of the Gaol were underway. He was part of the group that spearheaded the saving
of the Gaol. In 2010, as Founding Chair of the Huron Historic Gaol Board, he spoke at the 35th
anniversary celebration to commemorate the designation of the Gaol as a National Historic Site
in 1975. He enthusiastically presented the historical perspective of the Huron Historic Gaol
National Historic Site and commended the 2010 Conservation Project that was underway.
Among his many initiatives was the designation of a special room constructed within the
restored wing of Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton to establish an archives for the
Huron Public Education System and also a home for the inventory of belongings of the Huron
County Historical Society that were being housed in the homes of executive members. For
several years in the mid-1990s, HCHS Members, retired teachers, together with Board of
Education and Huron County Museum staff members, sorted and inventoried materials and
memorabilia. Materials of archival significance were transferred to the Huron County Museum
Archives in Goderich for environmentally controlled storage.
As an educator Carroll worked diligently to assist staff at the Huron County Museum and
Historic Gaol to attract and engage school audiences. School principals were encouraged to
hold meetings at the Museum site to gain awareness of the services available for teachers and
their students.
He was ever vigilant in the pursuit of Huron County artifacts and archival documents, whether
owned locally or in need of repatriation. He personally encouraged donations to be made into
the collection of the Huron County Museum and Historic Gaol to safeguard the stories they tell.
Following the tree planting on June 20, the HCHS will be holding a meeting featuring guest
speaker, Charles Wilkins, author of "Great Lengths, A History of Surveying in Ontario".

Some of the world's best croquet players
gathered in Bayfield from June 7-10 to compete in
the Bayfield Open Croquet Tournament hosted by
the members of the Bayfield International Croquet
Club (BICC) in both Bayfield and Seaforth.
The Bayfield Open is considered to be the
premier croquet event in Canada and, over the
past few years, it has secured a reputation on the
global circuit of international tournaments.
The tourney had 20 competitors playing in two
tiers over four days on four courts (two in Bayfield
and two in Seaforth). There were cash prizes for
first place in both tiers. The event was sponsored
by Steam Whistle Brewery, The Virtual High
School, and Deb Penhale from Lake Huron Real
Estate.
In the Championship Flight Semi -Finals,
American Rich Lamm, of Rancho Mirage, CA,
defeated Bayfield's Lou Schenck while Brian
Cumming from Elora, ON emerged victorious
over Chris Percival -Smith from Victoria, BC.
Lamm then squared off against Cumming winning
the best two out of three to win the Championship
Flight. Cumming was the skip for Team Canada
last July in Brighton, England, where Canada and
Sweden tied for first.
In the A Flight Semi -Finals, American Mary
Rodeberg of Rancho Mirage, CA defeated
Bayfield's Cal Scotchmer while village players
Nick Howell and Jerry Selk went head to head
and it was Howell for the win. In the final match,
Howell defeated Rodeberg.
According to event organizers, the BICC's event
has been deemed the preferred international
tournament by the players and the local club is
thrilled to host it.

SUBMISSIONS
As a youth in the 80s I was an avid reader of the "teen mag" I had a subscription to the UK's "Smash Hits" and their American
equivalent "Star Hits" so when invited to interview both Ryan Malcolm, Bayfield's adopted son and Canada's first Idol (2003)
and Richard Hadfield, winner of Britain's Got Talent 2014 (with the group Collabro), to promote their upcoming show at the
Bayfield Town Hall on June 211 decided it might be fun to do a little Q&A Smash Hlts style. Thanks to Ryan and Richard for
being so accommodating. Their answers are below. - Melody
How do you feel your TV talent competition experience differs from each other?
Melody Falconer -Pounder RYAN: I feel that because Idol was so early on in the "reality TV" genre that the current and new generations of these types of
shows have narrowed it in so much better in terms of talent and production. And what to do with the new generation of
"winners".
RICHARD: I agree with Ryan but there are also some downsides to being in the later
series of the programmes. The show can become predictable.
For example, X Factor in the UK continues to have less viewership year in year out
and struggles to get the #1 Christmas single. These are huge things that lead to the
success of an artist off the earlier series which the most recent winners are much less
likely to accomplish. I was lucky to be coming off the back of a particularly good year
of BGT (Britain's Got Talent Series 8) where they had really nailed the new formatting
of the programme.
How did the two of you connect?
RYAN: Richard and I have actually never met, we share a mutual friend in Wales, Huw
Bates, who I met while filming Idol in Toronto. I would always go to the Loose Moose
for drinks and Huw was there one night.
Most memorable Simon Cowell experience.
RYAN: Simon and I had to share a dressing room at World Idol, lets just say those
shirts hold a lot in Q I also had the privilege of being judged by Simon later that day,
he was his usual nasty self. But the whole time I was on stage all I could think about
were his man boobs...
RICHARD: I think it's got to be singing at his birthday party after we won. We were in
this tiny Italian restaurant in London with all these famous faces at the tables. We went
to sing, "Bring Him Home" and Amanda Holden (who sat behind me) pinched my bum
for the starting high note!
Most surreal moment in your career thus far.
Ryan Malcolm (Photo by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
RICHARD: I had just finished a gig at the 02 Arena in London and was heading over to the Syco label party at Kensington Palace. The party was brilliant
but round midnight we had to turn down the music because Wills and Kates' son, Prince George, couldn't get to sleep!
Name one pre -performance ritual that you do.
RYAN: Jack Daniels, I have to have a few to get me nice and loose. I remember having some while back stage at Idol, I was a lot older than the other kids
on the show so it was allowed!
How has social media, You Tube etc changed the way people digest music?
RICHARD: Well Collabro actually found me on YouTube so I'd say it's changed the music scene a lot! Obviously it's fantastic for finding new artists or
auditioning people before you even chat but it's massively effected the sales of music, especially originals. The touring industry has never been so big.
Lucky we both love singing live!
What was the subject of the last photo you took?
RICHARD: On the Horn Blower at Niagara Falls! Taking in all the sights while I'm out here!
If someone narrated your life who would you want to be the narrator?
RYAN: David Attenborough
What are you interested in that most people aren't?

Week 24 Issue 466
RICHARD: Jazz! People actually love it but when you say Jazz they don't release that embodies so many sub -genres
like Latin, Blues, Swing, musical theatre even ... the list goes on and on.
What movie quotes do you use on a regular basis?
RYAN: "No Country for Old Men" - the actor Javier Bardem is so creepy in that movie. I love the line "What business
is it of yours where I'm from, friendo?"
What was cool when you were young that isn't cool now?
RYAN: Pretty much every piece of clothing that I owned, come to think of it, they weren't cool then either!
"Britain's Got Talent" VS "Canadian Idol", with special guest Justin Evans, is a concert experience brought to the
