In this area, the trailer parks and Lion Club have a special League all their own. The men's teams from the Paul Bunyan Trailer Park, Old Homestead Troller Park, Blue Anchor Trailer Park and the Bayfield Lions Club, have a regular schedule and a Trophy to work (or play) towards. Last Saturday night Old Homestead Park hosted a game against the Bayfield Lions Club, Old Homestead won by a score of 33 to 18. The same night the Paul Bunyan Park team played Blue Anchor Park in the Agricultural Park, Bayfield. Blue Anchor won that 13-8. These teams play every Saturday evening in ' one of the trailer parks or in Bayfield and are certainly worth attending. Some of the parks also have a girls -women team and a boys team. Thegirls team from • -Old Homestead, and Paul Bunyan play regularly but don't have a schedule. Sometimes a team from Kitchigami is in the contest too. The girls teams from both Clinton and Hensall have challenged Old Homestead. and that sure makes a fun filled Sunday afternoon. It is a pleasure to see these young people and (some not so young) put the Fun back in Baseball. dei dear, Aa i reported last' week John McLeod returned aftero Pleasant trip and now Syl.e egnier from French Equatorial Africa and Mike carter from Lubbach, Texas have returned to their )tomes.

Clinton court news By Shelley McPhee In a trial that lasted over an hour and a half in Clinton Provincial Court on Wed- nesday, August 4. Robert W. Wood, 17, of 1980 Richmond St., in London was found guilty- on charges of careless driving by Judge Glenn Hayes. Wood was charged on April 15 after he collided with a pick-up truck driven by Ken Menheere of RR 4, Seaforth. Menheere, who was at- tempting to make a right hand turn into the drive at CHSS, received an estimated 8600 worth in damages to, the right side of the truck while Wood received S600 worth of damages to the front left corner to the carhe was driving. Key witness at the trial, Fredrick Steele of RR 1, Kirkton accurately recreated the accident and explained that the Wood car was squealing its tires and fish tailing in front of the high school as it was travelling down the street. Mr. Steele, who was watching out of his rear window, saw the car side slide into the truck as it was turning. Judge Hays, who was presiding over the court, found the crown witnesses, especially Mr. Steele's "testimony, far more objective and credible than that of the defence. He fined Wood 8300, but allowed him to keep his license. Doug Smith, who was representing his wife Lynda, 28, of 61 Winnipeg St. in Vanastra, pleaded guilty to a charge against her of careless driving and was fired 8103. The charge resulted from an accident on July 8 when Mrs. Smith backed into a parked car as the result of condensation on the rear window of the car she was - driving. -Several other cases were withdrawn, bench warrants were issued and some were remanded until the next sessionon September 1.

Bayfield, centre for yachts by Shelley McPhee Even though we are sup- posedly living in a time of recession, people are taking up new and more expensive hobbies each year. Of late the Bayfield Harbour has seen a new pastime reach its shores in the form of sailing and yachting. Each summer the little village of 500 people becomes the yachting centre on this side of Lake Huron and over 2,000 sailors andboating enthusiasts who look like they've . stepped out of an "Old ' Spice" commercial, enjoy the quaint atmosphere, and the good harbour at Bayfield. Four marinas in Bayfield handle the 400 to 500 boats that dock in the harbour each summer. The beautiful shining crafts that almost take the form of floating cottages cost about .81,000 a foot to buy plus insurance, maintenance, fuel costs and storage. This can become a costly hobby, as many of the boats in' the Bayfield Harbour alone reach up to 35, feet in length. However what is taken up in costs is replaced by the joys of sailing the crafts throughout the clear waters of Lake Huron and the security in docking in a harbour that is protected from the lake. Boaters have no worries of obstructions or shoals to damage the boats in the harbour. The marinas of the area do their best to make the boaters summer stay enjoyable, and convenient. Dry Dock, owned by Steve Goodman, recently redecorated their shop, built new washrooms and hope to build tennis courts and a pool in the near future. The marina has the capacity to handle 220 boats. Bayfield Marina, which is owned by Dry Dock, caters to the area people and is filled all season. Blue Anchor which is owned by College Sports in London hope to build an additional harbour and the South Shore marina, owned by Carson and Elliott can accommodate 97 boats. Besides these marinas, government docks are rented by the Bayfield Yacht Club and Colony House, which rents out "cabins. has a small .r. marina. The first Bayfield marina was installed by Alf Scot- chmer in 1951, on the property that Dry Pock now occupies. Mr. Scotchmer began his small venture with 15 docks for visiting crafts and friends. In the spring of 1959 however, a bad spring break-up washed the docks into the lake. Les McMillen with his fishing tug and Mr. Scotchmer at- tempted to rescue the docks, but the ice had damaged them beyond repair. Soon after, 35 more docks were built and the number has been steadily increasing since then. Today the Bayfield Yacht Club, • which received its h3._. ,.ter in 1968 ha to . e full advantage.. of the - facilities and with 85 members from the . surrounding area hold sailboat races throughout the spring and summer. These races attract some of the Most well known crafts in yachting circles. Although the natural harbour has no lighthouse, at the end of the• south pier a horn and lights aid the sailors during the night; Wharfinger, Tom Castle also keeps things under control in the harbour. Even though the trend in yachting has brought great business and publicity to Bayfield, there are some residents who remain op- posed or apathetic to this. Many older residents, who are perhaps not used to the change, feel that the river and harbour has lost much of its character and appeal, and has turned too commercial. Other residents feel that they have somehow been put in the shadow. of the yachters and can no longer have full access to the harbour. Others feel that the harbour is over- developed and fear that there will be no room for expansion. These difficulties,, op- positions and fears are quite understandable and familiar in any locality overtaken by - change, but on the whole Bayfield is quite proud of itself and the people do their . utmost to maintain their lovely harbour, their -village and their reputation as the major boating centre from Sarnia to Tobermory.
