TOM HORN Based on the True Story Coming Attraction Aug. 6th 'The Empire Strikes Back' cold water, they were unable to right the boat, and the canvas deck sticking out of the water was acting like a sail, carrying them farther out into the lake. FortunatelyIan Schofield, had his sailboat, the Suyaema, out for an evening Hayfield by Bud Sturgeon Gwen Pssssbortoss ' cruise, and son Douglas at the wheel noticed the small craft in trouble. The Suyaema circled the `Hobie Cat' warily looking for obstructions, then moved in close enough, having to take down the main sail for greater control. A tow line was attached and the four persons were hauled to safety aboard the Schofield craft. They then began to tow the boat slowly toward the harbour at approx 1 knot, but the tow -line broke. A powerlaunch which was rescuing another `motor boat' which had run out of gas came over and being more maneuvrable in close quarters, reconnected the line. Eventually the `Hobie Cat' was towed into harbor (with everyone singing 'When the Saints...') and righted, leaving four people pretty wet and shaky, but happy to be on dry land after a valuable lesson in sailing which could well have been a tragedy. It is nice to see that we have alert sailors, as was the crew aboard the Suyaema, operating out of the Bayfield Harbour. Pretzel led sign A vehicle, which has been described as a station wagon, came reeling around the infamous Highway 21 curve in Bayfield late Saturday night, instantly transforming the stopsign theron into a 'pretzel -like object and eclipsing one of the posts in Clan Gregor Square. Unable to find another exit from the park, the car (after a complete circle therin) left the same way it had entered. Technicians from the M.T.C., and aided by the OPP, quickly erected a new STOP sign in the morning. And while signs are in the news we must say that those M.T.C. people are so sneaky. First they get everybody laughing by putting up one with the wrong name, then it disappears. Late last week they were all back in place bearing the 'Main Street' name. Question to the M.T.C. "Are you sure that it is correct now? Let's give credit where credit is due though. Even though we `lampooned' them a bit, in all seriousness, one right out of two attempts isn't a bad percentage for a government organization. Firemen attend party Lorraine Hulley and friends had a party at the Ken Hulley residence on Lakeshore Road Saturday night, which was attended by the Bayfield Fire Depart- ment who showed up around 10:00 p.m. to extinguish a chimney fire on the premises. The part�r _doers looked slightly embarrassed as a crowd of 50 persons gathered to watch. Little damage was done to the house thanks to prompt action. Rummage sale This year Pioneer Park Association rummage sale, has been deemed to best ever. Association members were worried after at- tendance had slipped in 1979, that the 40 year old annual event might be losing its appeal to the public. Their fears were dispelled on Friday night, as over 2000 bargain hunters jammed into the arena helping them to gross about $3800. This years expanded sale featured three new booths (along with all the regulars) a silent auction, a baking and preserves table and a hot dog stand. The winning bid for the airplane ride over Bayfield was submitted by Paula Lane, while other prizes were captured by Jim Wallace, Goderich, and Elva Metcalfe, Bayfield, each receiving brunches at the "Little Inn." The money raised will go towards the installatin of more gabion baskets below Pioneer Park as well as other projects. Chairman RoseCroswaite would like to thank all those that contributed in any way to the event, for making it such a tremendous success thanks also goes to the table lifters' and the `cleaner - uppers' and especially to Maggie McLean dand Audrey Marriot, and the local contributing stores. iRayfl.ld sports The Bayfield Flyers who got off to a poor start this season, have pulled up their socks and currently ride a three game unbeaten streak.
