From the Chronicler<br />
Greetings!<br />
I am happy to report that we are getting more electronic subscribers to this newsletter; I’d love to have<br />
everyone in the Barony getting it by email, so pass the word! I just need an email, and mundane and<br />
SCA names - it’s free, it’s fun!<br />
SEND ME STUFF! Articles, photographs of events, recipe redactions, poetry, cartoons, drawings &<br />
artwork - anything! Let’s make this more than an event announcement newsletter.<br />
I’d love to hear from everyone in the Barony!<br />
Yours in Service, Tiercelin<br />
<strong>ICE</strong> <strong>DRAGON</strong> IS COMING!<br />
Check out all that is happening on the exclusive<br />
online site at: http://www.ice-dragon.info.<br />
Good Gentles of fair and sovereign Æthelmearc and unto the known<br />
world do I Augusto Giuseppie da San Donato send greetings and word<br />
of The Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon. Now that the snow<br />
and ice are building up outside your homes this is the perfect time to<br />
be thinking of the Festival of the Passing of the Ice Dragon. This year<br />
the Festival is being held one week later than in the past, on March 28,<br />
2009, to avoid any undue conflicts with other events and to get back to<br />
the original date and concept of the event.<br />
The Festival is being held at a brand new site this year. A single building<br />
site. I might add! The new site is the Western New York Event<br />
Center, located at 10995 Main St. in Clarence, New York 14031. The<br />
site opens at 9 am and closes at 10 pm.<br />
Costs for the event are as follows:<br />
Pre-reg At door<br />
Adult $12.00 $15.00<br />
Youth 6-12 yrs. $6.00 $7.00<br />
Children
From the Baron:<br />
Ice Dragon is coming up and Agusto needs all of the help he can get, and he needs people to volunteer<br />
to work at the event. Please contact him to find out what jobs need to be done.<br />
From the Fencing Marshal:<br />
We will be, most likely, moving operations back to the Elk’s club. I<br />
know it is a haul but driving an extra few miles for fight practice is better than no practice at all. I will be making<br />
three trips to Houston, TX in the upcoming weeks; I will need another fencing marshal to be at practice on, 2/25,<br />
3/18 and 4/8.<br />
From the Brewer’s Guild<br />
We bottled our Winter Porter (after adding about a cup of amber spray malt to prime) and a case was delivered to<br />
His Majesty at Seven Deadly Sins. The next project will be a German-style, half-wheat beer for our Highnesses’s<br />
Coronation. A date will be announced when we can nail down our schedule..<br />
From the Archery Marshal<br />
Shooting Days at Doc’s Archery<br />
February 20th 6:30 – 8:30 pm<br />
February 27th 6:30 – 8:30 pm<br />
We are shooting every Friday at 6:30.<br />
Belgraunde<br />
Captain of Archers<br />
Equestrian<br />
We are practicing every other Sunday at 1 pm at Tiercelin’s. The next practice is February 22.<br />
From the SCribal Guild<br />
Greetings from the Scribal Guild. Please make sure to have your assignments for Ice Dragon complete for the<br />
March Meeting. The more we get in early, the less we’ll have to worry about that day. And the less someone will<br />
need to chase down His Excellency for a signature.<br />
YIS Zosia Kowalewska<br />
Exchequer<br />
We have 5002.19 in the bank account.<br />
Thrown Weapons<br />

PAVILIONS & SAYINGS<br />
OK - sure, this site has great resources for medieval pavilions, including photos of pavilions from<br />
around the Known World, but what I really love is the SCA t-shirt sayings page. All your favorites<br />
are here, like: “Practice Safe Government...Use a Kingdom”, “The Way to a Man’s Heart is Through<br />
His Ribs”, “Never piss off a bard, for they are not subtle, and your name scans to Greensleeves” and<br />
my personal favorite.... “Elizabethan Christmas: Codpiece on earth, good frills for men.” Enjoy!<br />

The Coronation of<br />
Maynard & Liadain<br />
April 18, 2009 • Canton of Beau Fleuve • Niagara Falls, NY<br />
Come one; come all to the Canton of Beau Fleuve<br />
to witness the graceful passing of Christopher and<br />
Morgen and the triumphant ascension of Maynard<br />
and Liadain! Our event is to be held St. John LaSalle<br />
Church, 8469 Buffalo Ave., Niagara Falls, N.Y. 14304. The<br />
site opens at 9 am and closes at 10 pm. The event is discreetly<br />
damp, has plenty of parking and is handicapped accessible.<br />
Candles are allowed at feast. Please, no pets allowed although<br />
working animals welcome.<br />
The autocrats are THL Jenna Macpherson (Carole<br />
Goranson) 39 Manser Drive, Amherst, NY 14226<br />
or email jennamacpherson@msn.com and Mistress<br />
Cori, 716-523-7353. Our Head Cook is Mistress<br />
Gierny Thorgrimsdottir (Kim Viellette). If you have dietary<br />
questions please email her at geirnythorgrimsdottir@yahoo.com Special meat dishes will be created by Lord<br />
Drugar Mensch. Reservations for feast are limited so please reserve early by no later than April 8th. Reservations<br />
will be taken by Edith of Winterton (Caroline Elliott), 38 East Chateau Terrace, Amherst, NY 14226. Make<br />
checks payable to SCA, Inc. - Beau Fleuve. Remember the only good reservation is a paid reservation!<br />
The prices are as follows:<br />
Onboard: Adults - $18.00 • Children 6-17—half price, 5 and under—free.<br />
Off and Outboard - Adults $9.00 • Children 6-17—half price, 5 and under—free.<br />
Non member fees of $3 will be collected at the door. The site fee does include lunch and we appreciate<br />
those who reserve for planning purposes.<br />
The days activities will feature the Æthelmearc Youth Combat Championship. Adult heavy weapons and<br />
fencing are included in the program. We are pleased to announce that the Kingdom Arts and Sciences<br />
Championship will be held at Coronation. In addition, we<br />
will also hold an A&S competition for all ages based on the<br />
works and mind of Leonardo da Vinci! Details on both A&S competitions<br />
below.<br />
As there is nothing quite like looking at old photos to remind<br />
us of how we got started in the SCA. At different events<br />
and meetings, we are often asked to bring old photo albums<br />
so that others may look through them and stories may be<br />
told, but without context, some of the best information is lost. So, to<br />
help share some of these wonderful photos, and the stories behind them,<br />
there will be a photo contest at Coronation. Each entry is asked to be<br />
one “page” of photos - whether it be a poster board or a scrap book page<br />
or a single photo - with a single theme. Be it a person, an activity or a<br />
place, display some of your favorite photos, and share those favorite
memories with others, and the new King and Queen will award a prize to the one that pleases them most.<br />
There will be several fund raisers held, so come prepared for fun stuff and bargains! The fund raisers include<br />
a basket raffle, a bring-your-penny-jar-jug-dump and will benefit the youth combat program and<br />
the Pennsic favors. Merchants are to contact Jenna. Hall space is limited, contact her early. Outside<br />
tent space is available.<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
From Buffalo: take the I-190 North**over the Grand Island bridges. Exit at Buffalo Ave. Turn right and follow<br />
Buffalo Avenue to the Church. It will be on the right.<br />
From the East: Take the I-90 to the I-290 to I-190 North. Follow from ** above.<br />
From Canada: Take the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge to the I-190. Exit at Buffalo Avenue to the Church. There<br />
will be signs.<br />
Æthelmearc Arts & Sciences Championship<br />
As it is Maynard and Liadain’s wish to showcase the artisans of Æthelmearc to all the Known World, the<br />
theme will be Largess. Entrants are asked to provide at least one item of largess crafted by themselves, in<br />
any suitable media of their choice, to be donated at the event for the Crown to give out as gifts during Their<br />
Reign. Multiple items of largess are allowed and encouraged. Candidates should provide a business-card(s)<br />
or equivalent written note(s) with their name (and contact info if desired), to be given to the eventual recipient<br />
along with the largess, for due acknowledgment of their skill and generosity. Entrants are also encouraged<br />
to present a portfolio (photo or written summaries) of their body of creative works. This way, artisans may<br />
display their greater works while submitting a smaller portion for the competition (ie. a piece of garb may<br />
be displayed while the hand crafted buttons are<br />
entered). Basic documentation is requested (typewritten<br />
preferred, no more than two pages please).<br />
All are encouraged to participate in this event from<br />
novice to master, young to old. In addition to the<br />
selection of the Champion, there will be additional<br />
prizes awarded (ie. Best Youth Entry, Populace<br />
Choice, Laurel’s Choice). Questions should be<br />
directed to the current A&S Champion, Ld. Pearce<br />
Redsmythe, wiliam@rencraft.com, 607-330-2598<br />
weekday evenings from 5 till 11 PM, and weekends<br />
from 9 AM till 11 PM.<br />
The “Leonardo” A&S Competition - Open to All Artisans<br />
Become the Leonardo da Vinci of your time! We call all gentles to display their imaginations, in the same<br />
manner as that of the Original Renaissance Man! Imagine how Leonardo might “invent” a modern-day<br />
device or custom, from a medieval point-of view. From the serious (reproductions of da Vinci’s drawings or<br />
paintings) to the sublime (remember DaVinci’s tank? All Media welcome. For extra credit, write backwards<br />
(DaVinci’s “secret code”) and provide a translation. Ingenuity and cleverness count for a lot. It can be as silly<br />
as something from “The Flintstones” or an alternate theory of his greatness (Mona Lisa had rotten teeth, so<br />
she could not smile). Bring your entries, plus any documentation you may have, and any explanation your<br />
piece may need, to the A&S Competition Table, between 10-12. Use your imagination, your cunning, and<br />
your sense of humor! For questions, contact Brandric Slaywrock at brandric1@netscape.com or call 716-<br />
832-5094 before 9pm. This competition is open to all age groups, all levels of artistry! Entries may be crossentered<br />
in both competitions!<br />
