The beach is strewn with four pr five large mattresses, a 'set of bed springs, springs from other types of furniture as well as various...Qther debris. Some attempt has already been made to clean up the broken glass and garbage, _but a lot 'still remains on the sand, in the bushes and near the water's edge. The gar- bage can that used to sit at the bottom of the steps has also disappeared. Although many thousands of larger rocks form an effective barrier between the sand and water, making walking difficult for the barefooted swimmers, the beach could otherwise be made more attractive and safer for its users. A few years ago the local kids (and adults too!), got together one day and in a few hours cleaned up the beach and had it looking great. I1 stayed that way for* the entire summer. The wood was piled up in one great heap and burned that night making a gigantic campfire for the party that followed the work. It was accomplished once and could be done again. It's only a thought, but if one of the beach users out there, or a group of , users, would like to arrange fora "Clean -Up" day, it could certainly be advertised in this paper beforehand. To update an old saying Babes back in first The Bayfield Babes led off last weeks slo-pitch action at the Bayfield Diamond with a .game against • the Blue Shadows. The first three innings were tight, but the Babes pulled away in the fourth and built up a 24-0 lead before the Blues came back with five runs in the last half -inning of the game. Wednesday' night's game between the Goodtimes and Stanley Stars had to be cancelled for a day because vandals did considerable damage to the Zurich diamond, ripping it up with four- wheel drive vehicles earlier this week. However, the game was played on Thursday and errors proved costly for the Goodtimes as they were defeated by the Stars 15 to 8. Monday June 9, the Stanley Stars lost to the hometown Varna Ladies by a 15-4 count. In the game at Bayfield the Same night, the Babes sent 64 batters to the • plate and collected 43 hits en route to a 34-4 victory over the Goodtimes. ude slightly, Numerous hands make for less work". T e beach needs your help( not only just to. make it look better, but for- the safety of the people that use ' it all summer long. Once cleaned up, its not hard to keep it that way., If someone is interested in organizing this,project, feel free to call me at 565- 2852. I'm certain you would get the support of many other beach -goers to help out. to make swimming dangerous and spare away tourists.

Sunday night saw the hapless Flyers lose another • close one, 9 to 8 beingvictimized by the Bluewater Lakers. It was a tough game to lose especially since the Flyers had rallied to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning. The Bayfield Knighthawks were nanded their first defeat of the season, falling prey to the Dashwood team, 8 to 2 in Dashwood. The Knighthawks are now 3 and 1 on the season, while the Flyers have yet to win, losing their first six games. - • BAYFIELD GARDEN WALK Saturday, Joe 21 2:00-5:00 P.M.
