Lampooner by Bud Sturgeon -,After rising from a long Novembers n p the other morning, I chanced to glance out the kit- chen window while I was making breaky. And what to my wondering eyes should appear, well it was garbage strewed upon my driveway. Some nocturnal creature had chanced on the garbage can and Upturned it? What kind of a wayward wampus could do such a thing? What chuckleheaded critter would even consider cavorting through .my wife's cooking, especially since it had been in the trash can for several days? Coons I thought, it must be raccoons. Later that evening the beggar returned. Within minutes of his -her arrival, unannounced I might add, my wife found herself staring down a skunk on the' porch. Both departed the unexpected meeting quickly, wife screaming into the house and skunk through the fence. That's where the trouble began. The skunk didn't make it through the fence. So here we have the striped rascal stuck halfway. ' Most likely, that is a moment of decision. Should I venture .out and boost the skunk through the fence or let it struggle through on its own initiative? By following the first option posed by the dilemma, one could quite likely find himself bathing in tomato juice for sometime to come. That's the trouble with. a polecat,,, they don't take kindly to being helped along. If the second option is observed, the smelly little fellow is just as likely to spew his perfume over anything in reach out of frustration alone. By now you are asking yourselves, "What will he decide -to do?" Well, I didn't do nuthin! After ten minutes the skunk worked 'itself free and waddled away as if nothing had happened. And he took his common scents with him, _ __ _- - _-- What a dull story! Somewhere in that whale of a tail lies a moral, but you'll have to figure that one out for youA-selves 'cause I haven't got the faintest idea what it could be. Hmmmm..... ,could be don't leap before you stink::. a skunk by any other .naive is still.. two seconds to disaster... a whiff a day keeps the skunkies away... better have a Buckeye and think about it. +++ Since so many people have asked what I do for the Clinton News Record, here is my ad- vertisement. I write the Bayfield Bugle, Though the news is often frugal. The sports, the meetings, the thrillers, And Round and About the villagers. Puns and jokes and tom -foolery, Always abound in old Lampoonery. The days of yore and their history, Will no longer by a mystery. I'll take your ads and place them here And soon you'll be a inillionaire. We can sell antiques and oddities, Or anything in the community. So send along your personals, Notices, poetry and `Annuals', Birthday, special dates and "What did you do?" To 565-2852. Soon I'll be drawing cartoons, Funny quips in little balloons. Maybe a comic strip or two, The `Lugan Family' or the `Village Zoo'. But I'll take your news on Sunday, And even as late as Monday Tuesday is out of the question, Save for a fire or a rebellion. Hockey scores and good readin' books, Photographs and dirty looks. As long as I get a decent wage, You'll see it here on the Bayfield page. And that's only the half of it. Now I will have that Buckeye. Waiter rl ''CLINTON NEW -11 CORD; THVR$DAY, NQVFMBER,13,1980--HAGS 11 "Roots" author speaks to historians Angus Baxter, author, of "In, Search of your- R,00ts" visited Bayfield Library on Wednesday afternoon, October 22. The Archives Room was filled and an attentive audience listened to Mr, Baxter's entertaining, but factual account of the ways in which it Is possible to set about tracing one's ancestry. Mr, Baxter pointed out that from a practical viewpoint, the two most important . questions likely to be asked before embarking on such a project were: How 'far back? How rntfbh does it cost? The answer to the former might encompass two hundred years on more. With regard to the cos , is might be estimated at something like $250, depending on the extent of the research undertaken and bearing in mind that the , ex- penditure would be likely to be spread over at least two years. The next step was to start with oneself, and concentrate on one side of the family at a tithe. Older relatives could often ' provide much valuable information derived from personal recollection, photograph albums and family memorabilia. Chronological arrangements of this material, anecdotal and biographical detail could then be implemented by documentary evidence. Where this was- not available, the next -step was the collation of basic details. Full names, dates of birth, places of birth, marriages and deo , well as residence, offered basic requirements for further investigation, leading in turn to the direction of enquiries addressed to appropriate official sourees. Outlining the con- siderable assistance available in these par- ticular' areas, Mr. Baxter mentioned the Civil Register which was in- troduced in 1869 from whom it was possible to obtain copies of cer- tification. In addition reference to church records, tomb- stones, cemetery lists, census records, legal documents (wills, land titles, etc.) offered fur- ther documented material. Public Archives are now able to microfilm records and thus researchers may acquire relevant sections on loan th as and exam facilities available in some public libraries, Likewise, local libraries and archives as well as BAYFIEL"D by Bud Sturgeon and Helen Owen - Buckeyes crack Crusaders The Zurich Bucl eyes bettered their record to three wins against three losses when they hum- bled the Centralia College Crusaders 10-3 in Zurich on Tuesday night. CCAT opened the scoring in the first period before Zurich's . Chris Bedard notched his first of. the night oh a slap- shot, assisted by Jeff O'Brien. O'Brien then scored on 'a `goalmouth' scramble, assisted on the play by Chris Bedard and John Graham. CCAT came back to tie the game • as Ken Japos picked up his second goal of the period. The second period belonged to the Buckeyes as they scored 'six unanswered goals. marvin 'Millimetre' Merner opened the scoring with a long slapshot from the blueline, being set up by Jim Murray and John Graham.

Isadore Laporte handled the coaching duties for Zurich for Herb Turkheim who will assume the position later this week, replacing Bob Farquar. Turkheim led the Buckeyes to the championship two seasons ago. In the game, 12 minor penalties were issued by the referees, with Zurich receiving 10 of them, Sunday afternoon at the To the electors of the TOWNSHIP OF TUCKERSMITH I wish to say "thank -you" for the faith you have shown in acclaiming me as your Reeve for the coming term.

After their initial scrum, Goderich put their clutch and grab show into high gear and built up a 2-0 lead on goals by Paquette and Lewis. Mike Clarke replied for Zurich, scoring a powerplay goal unassisted. -Ron Corriveau rounded out the first period scoring on a screened shot to put Goderich up 3-1. The second period was a different story as the Buckeyes came out skating and banged in seven goals. Gerald Weido scored from close range on a pass from Mike Clarke. John Graham's big -slap shot then found the range on a powerplay with Kerry Bedard and Steve Bedour assisting. Pat 'Bedard deked the • Goderich goaltender out of his socks and popped in a goal with Clarke and Graham assisting. Jim Murray stepped--eut-ef the -- penalty box -and took a pass from Graham, broke in all alone on a breakaway and slipped the puck into the net to make the score 5-3. Lewis closed the gap for Goderich but Al Wilbee ' responded minutes later for Zurich with a blistering wrist shot from the point to give the Bucks a two goal cushion again. Jeff O'Brien and Pat Bedard assisted on the play. Glen Nicholson then drove in a slapshot after being set up by Gerald Weida. Chris Bedard notched the final goal of the period completing a play set up by N;cholson and Bedour.. In _ the final ._period Bedour scored nine seconds after the opening faceoff, from Weido and Chris Bedard. Paquette scored a shorthanded goal -for Goderich mid- way through the period. Goderich's Phil Petrie high-sticked Zurich defenceman Greg Kirk to the ice and the pair squared off and - each received fighting majors. Weido and Bedour then combined to set up another patented John Graham goal from the point. With a minute remaining, Lewis scored for Goderich to make the all those who supported me at the polis on November 10th thank 1 would like to thank Sincerely Don Brodie i • M - historical ;societies Ate often able to produce much detaile,d background information relating to a particular area, In a country like Canada, Mr. Baxter said, the search for the past might well extend to other countries, and b touched on likely sources of information abroad to whom application might be made. Re cited one incident when a letter'tq a weekly newspaper in Ireland had produced valuable contacts with members of the enquirer's family. Referring to resear- ches into his wife's family, Mr. Baxter told how these had resulted in }}-an $9.95. Hanoverian }WV, George • M.

As well as answering questions, Mr. Baxter recommended useful booksof reference covering specific areas.

Jurgen Hellman picked up his third straight victory for the Buckeyes while in the twines. At the other end in goal for Goderich was Percy Bedard who made an unsuccessful -return to Zurich. Bedard had been cut earlier in the season by the Buckeyes in favour , of Hellman .and as a result was picked up by the Merchants. The Zurich victory was also the first for coach Herb Turkheim who took fiver the reins on Sunday. The next Buckeye action will be next Sunday afternoon in Zurich as the Forest Boyds (formerly of the Cyclone Intermediate 'D' League) are in town for a 2 p.m. game. Monday night they are in Cen- tralia for a game with the CCAT Crusaders. In the Goderich game, Zurich picked up 9 penalties while Goderich was assessed 14. planning Christmas un ic'tober 14, the Lions were honoured to have Governor , Lion Warren Wicks making his official visit. Octbber 28, the Bayfield Lions had a visitation from the, Seaforth Lions Club. Lion'' Joe Brandon also reported on the success of the 2nd Annual Bayfield Lions Trout Fishing Derby, and wishes on his behalf to thank all those who contributed or helped in any way. As a result, $1100, was turned over to the Arena Fund. Lion Mac McFadden launched the C.N.I.B. canvass. The Lioness met on November 3, and Jean Sinnamon was installed as a new member. Teen Dances, spon- sored by the Bayfield Lioness, will now be held on the first Friday of every month at the Town Hall. The time is from 8:30 to 11 p:m. Everyone 11 years and up are welcome. Coming up on December 6, the Christmas Bazaar will be held' at the-Cbmmunity Centre from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. December 13, there will be a children's Santa Claus Party at the Community Centre at 2:3U p.m. The , Christmas Stocking tickets are now on sale, and the stocking will be displayed in the Bayfield Library. Finally, everyone is asked to keep January 17 open, as CFPL is coming to the Bayfield Arena to play hockey. Because family history is a subject not only of personal interest,but provides much detailed information relative to the lives of early settlers in Canada, investigating a particular family may well contribute to ex- panding the efforts of local archivists. Bayfield was indeed fortunate in having an opportunity to hear, first-hand from the author of a standard work on ancestry. The .visit was arranged and sponsored by Huron County Library and 'Outreach'. 1 wish to thank all of those who sup- ported me at the polls on November 10.
