1, [20 The South Marysburgh Mirror l ] - Milford 200 Events - Cont'd from page 19 During Intermission cast and guests took part in a great entertainment. The audience could almost “see” the loggers cutting trees, hauling and skidding logs, using hors- es, machines, and rafts to move the logs. Other songs told of longing for those far away or of freezing in the harsh winter weather. Audience members clapped and tapped their feet in time with the music, and were encouraged to join in when they knew the songs. Mike Bernier, Rob Hollett, Mark Des- pault and Jeff Allen easily convinced us that they were Irish and French Canadians with accents that sounded authentic, and with deft performances of English and French tunes. Janice Lambert, known locally as the principle dancer and choreographer of “Minerva”, joined the Wailers ree numbers. Thi pion step-dancer and Irish dance champion 1 threw herself into the dance Milford 200 Birthday celebration complete with Bernie Gaw’s award-winning Chocolate Birthday Cake, and his home-made chocolate chip cookies! CD’s for Sale included the Pines. After a standing ovation and a final encore, the audience left, having had a thoroughly good time. Today, the white pines are making a modest come- back near Wakami Lake and will, here in South Marysburgh, with the trees planted this year. Thanks to the Wakami Wailers we can still learn about the heyday of the logging era and the last of the white pine loggers without revisiting the destruction of the forests. Remembrance Day Ceremony in Milford and everyone enjoyed her strong, energetic performance. It was not a simple task to get everyone together for this performance, so kudos to Suzanne and Bemie for producing the show and managing this feat. Janice and the Wailers together made the show even more enjoyable for the audience. Nov. 11" saw the first community Remembrance Day service in Milford’s recent history at Milford Town Hall. There was a nice turnout for the service led by Rev. Jean Wilson and Rev. Bob Hales. Councillor Monica Alyea joined Rev. Jean Wilson in a unique opening of the service with a “Modern Prayer” offset by verses of “In Flanders Fields”. Of the Scripture Lesson and Reflections on the Be- atitudes, “Blessed are the Peacemakers” was perhaps most appropriate and haunting. “Lest We Forget” included remembrances of family and friends while the “Prayer for Peace” led directly into a Roll Call of those who served or died in South Marysburgh Township. Many of the names were familiar and many from the same families. STCH Yarn STA (TD it rev.)) C (cats rev.)

The Last Post, one minute of silence and Reveille completed the somber du- ties. Rev. Bob Hales led a final prayer to conclude the ceremonies. It was a beautiful service. The hymns, the stories, the reflections and the prayers reminded listeners that much that has been done for peace, that much has yet to be done, and that many Canadians are still working to- ward that goal. We Will Remember Them.
