Bayfield history, take two Chapter 2 Last week, we left the story of the founding Bayfield in and around 1633 with first explorer ,of Huron County, Etienne Brule being quartered and eaten by the "Bear Tribe" of the Huron Indians. All exploration and sur- veying in this era was carried out by Royal Engineers and Royal Car- tographers. Early in the 1600's, the "College de Jesuits" was set up in Quebec and from here, mapmakers and surveyors were granted licences to practice their trade in Canada. Samuel de Champlain, (who's ties with Brule were previously mentioned) is generally regarded as the first explorer-mapmaker- surveyor in Canada. After receiving his licence from the "college" in 1608 he began his exploration of the new world. In 1610 Cham- plain sent out the first parties to explore the Ottawa River, French River, Lake Nippissing, Lake Huron and Georgian Bay regions. At the same time he began making his latitude observations (for maps )near Ottawa. The first mapping ex- pedition of what _ was to - become "Upper Canada" began in 1615. Champlain intended to travel as far west as Georgian Bay. He was accompanied on his trip by an Indian War Party. They - became involved in a skir-, mish with another tribe and Champlain was wounded so the venture had to be abondoned. However, in later years Champlain was able to produce four maps of Canada that were in turn printed. These maps became the basis of more exploration by the Jesuits, but after his death, most of the interest in -"Upper Canada" ceased. In the last years of French Control of Canada the Jesuits still managed some exploration. Around 1650, the Sampson Family produced a good map of Lakes Huron, Erie and Ontario. By 1672, the Jesuits had also mapped Lake Superior, but not in as much detail. The Indian Wars that prevailed during this area prevented much more work than this. In the end, the Iridians burned all the missions and no more set- tlement took place until the British Government gained control of Canada in 1763. But there we go again, that's another story to be told later, so hang in there while I tread up on they `Treaty of Paris and 'the • "Loyalists" so I can tell it to you. Hawks win big It took a lot of coaxing to get the weather to cooperate long enough for the fifth and deciding gameof the men's slopitch 'B' Series to be played, but last Thursday night when it was all •over, the Bayfield Kpighthawks were declared the champs. Playing before a capacity crowd at the Varna diamond. the Hawks - and Bluewater Lakers stayed deadlocked at two -all its the early innings. By - mid game, the Hawks had unleashed a devastating attack and led 16-6. As the Lakers late season drive began to taper off, the vocal fans brought the Hawks home to a 28-11 win. Following the action on the field, Bayfield captain Bill Courtney accepted the `B' Trophy on behalf of his players. Thejubilant club then retired back to the village for a gala celebration. Members of this years Knighthawks included; Bill Courtney, Tim West, John Graham, Chuck Pruss, Greg Butler, Gil Latimer, Stu Turner, Roy Telford, Fred Schilbe, Terry Heard, Brian Semple and Don McIlwain.

The Bayfield Babes wound up the season on Sunday afternoon, with a fun game against Bluewater Centre, 'B' Champions of the Goderich Slo-Pitch League. The Babes could only raise 5 of their own regular players 'for the contest, so they added three junior girls from the Goderich Township Fastball Team and three retired Bayfield Slo-Pitch players to make a complete team. With the capacity crowd going wild, Bluewater Centre scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh and final inning, to nip the hometowners, 15-14. Following the game, all who participated were in- vited to a turkey dinner courtesy . 6f one of the Bluewater Centre players. The Babes would like to thank the six girls who filled in the the absentees. Personals . Mr. and Mrs. Matt Smith and family, London, spent the weekend at their village retreat.
