Clinton News-Record, 1983-06-22, Page 10P:.GE 10—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1983 AY[FIEL by Helen Owen and Doris Hunter ver By Doris Hunter The summer solstice has arrived and with it a pro- liferation of good old sum- mertime events. Sunday found our village invaded by people eager to view the latest creation of our local genius Tom Penhale, the Disney Wagon. It was well worth the view- ing, over 3,000 signed the guest book. The presence of a band with a vocalist added greatly to the pleasure of those who stood in line so patiently. The musicians come from Kit- chener and are campers at the Old Homestead Trailer Camp. Tom and Carol now know how the Royal family feel after a day of shaking hands! Carol's many friends will be relieved to know that she took a brief holiday with Tom's aunt, Mrs. Marie Scott of St. Thomas when they joined a bus tour to the Adirondacks before the big day. Someone expressed our pride in the Penhale family by posting a sign reading "Tom Penhale was born here!" XXX The Reverend and Mrs. Alun Thomas are being entertained before leaving our community for Sun- dridge, Ontario. A potluck luncheon was held at the Anglican rectory, when the clergy from Bayfield, Clin- 00 see ton and Varna came representing the Anglican, Roman Catholic, United and Baptist churches. The good ecumenical feeling we now enjoy in Bayfield has been fostered by Mr. Thomas and each denomination regrets his moving to a new field of service. XXX The films shown on Mon- day evening referring to Bat- tered Wives and the services available to them at the recently opened Crisis Cen- tre was supported by the congregations of St. An- drew's United and Trinity Anglican churches. Already nine families have taken refuge there and donations of food of a non-perishable type are badly needed. Any of our clergymen will gladly take your gifts to the centre. XXX The Lioness are once again sponsoring the registration for swimming classes to be held at Vanastra from June 27 to Ju- ly 8. Buses will leave at 1:30 p.m. and return at 3 p.m. each day. Please call Carol Penhale, 565-2476; Joan Merner 565-2730, or Helen Hopper 565-2199. There is a charge but the Lions Club has picked up the tab for the buses.

The group plans a revival of the Trinity Garden Party, so much en- joyed in earlier days. It will be held as the tradition is on the lawns at the Rectory where the Rector Gordon Rey :folds and Barbara and Beth\are striving to find the plant treasures lurking there. Canon Paull was a keen gardener and some fine iris are blooming there now. The date is August 20. Penhales make history in Bayfield. The Bayfield Historical Society meeting was held on June 15 at the home of Erma and Rae Fraser with more than 60 members present. The group visited Tom Penhale's shop to view the Walt Disney World wagon which was nearing comple- tion. Everyone was impress- ed with its beauty'. The members returned to Frasers where a potluck sup- per had been laid out. Erma Fraser, Kelly Ball, Doris Reddoch, Betty Burch, and Sandra Land arranged the food. President Ed. Oddleifson opened the meeting. There was a report from the Pro- gram Committee by Elva Metcalf as follows: July — History of the McNaughton family in the Bayfield area. August — Ethel Poth and her slides on early Main Street businesses. September — B. Evans - Ministry of Natural Resources - Wingham. October — Open. November — Excerpts from Canon Paull's diary 1914-1918. The President then in- troduced the M2.fn' c'r�ft- srnan Torn Penhale who in turn introduced the Walt Disney World people - designer Dave Marquis and artist Art Green. 'Mr. Marquis held the at- tention of the audience with his account of the search for a suitable wagon or builder. After visiting Bayfield and seeing the fine work of Mr. Penhale and comparing it with numerous other wagons they easily decided to let the contract to Tom. With a deadline of June 20 to meet it meant day and night work to get it ready for the painters. Mr. Marquis produced the designs and Mr. Green worked them onto the wagon which will be ship- ped to Calgary for its first of- ficial showing in the Stampede Parade. Both the Walt Disney World men were high in their praise of the friendly recep- tion in Bayfield. Dave Marquis concluded his talk by passing around some beautiful pictures of Epcot. The President thanked the speaker for such an in- teresting talk especially on such short notice. MARINE HARDWARE Largest stock in Southwestern, Ont® AURA YACHTS INC.

Don't miss this most plea- sant popular event. practical joke, costly loss Practical jokes are only funny to the jokers, but the fake call to our Bayfield Firefighters at 2:30 a.m. on June 18 was a very, very serious offenc0: , Not only were our men called out to the Paul Bunyan Camp, los- ing much needed sleep but the village was unprotected for that length of time. Respirators could have been needed for an accident victim or a sick child, a home lost through delay. The cost to the taxpayers of between $500 and $600 for some silly pranksters will not be forgotten and anyone involved in such tricks should be warned that they are not only liable for heavy fines but could be given a prison term. Hardly worth it for the sick momentary fun the young woman who called enjoyed. The village is in- censed at this tasteless act. XXX Wedding bells are ringing at the Makins' this week. Yes it's Brian. Coming up, the Pioneer Park Rummage Sale. Bud Robinson is the convenor this year, following the very efficient convenors of other vears. 1982 found Marie and Kelso Fitzsimons at the helrh and the Park association hopes that you will support Bud in this big job as you did them. Save your excess treasures for the big night at the arena. XXX Rev. Alun Thomas will conduct his last service of worship in St. Andrew's United Church on Sunday morning, June 26. The congregation is plann- ing an affectionate farewell to Alun, his wife Gillian and their infant daughter im- raediately following the ser- vice. We wish them God's blessing as they move on to Sundridge to continue their ministry. XXX Alice Brandon reports from the Activities Commit- ted of the Bayfield Lioness Club for the latest events.

On June 19 the club had a Bike-a-thon and the full route was 20 miles, each round being two miles. The weather was perfect and members had fun convening it. The bikers ranged in age • from four years (Terry Mad - son) to a Senior Citizen, who wishes to remain anonymous. The money from the Bike- a-thon goes to the Arena Fund. Congratulations to the ever -faithful bikers and thanks to all who helped in anyway. You !, nd Music Can a corn* in Fall By Helen Owen The project of the Bayfield Lioness to sponsor four con- certs organized by Youth and Music Canada this fall is a new and exciting venture. As Mrs. Wyn Graham ex- plained, .'This time, instead of asking something from the community we are offer- ing something. A unique op- portunity for the village to enjoy a special type of enter- tainment as well as support the development of young Canadian professional musi- cians." usi- cians." Youth and Music Canada, initiated in 1949, has four main aims: the introduction of music into the lives • of young Canadians, develop- ing and channelling their aspirations, fostering their careers and promoting the works of Canadian com- posers. Since then the move- ment has grown, spanning the country from Halifax to Vancouver with over 75 par- ticipating centres. Subsequent to the 'Man and Music' pavilion at Expo '67 the work has been extended to include the publication of educational materials and the provision of musical workshops and camps. As sponsors the Lioness will have to pay the produc- tion expenses with assistance from the Arts Council, and the proceeds from the concerts will be put back towards next year's project. On October 18 the Tapestry Singers will start off the series with a unique program ranging from madrigals, to jazz, from Broadway to opera. These young professionals with their extensive touring ex- perience, including a Euro- pean debut in the spring of 1983, promise an evening to satisfy a wide variety of tastes. The second concert on November 22 presents an ensemble comprising violin, French horn and piano. Known as Trio Caecilia these gifted and individually acknowledged musicians have already received wide acclaim in England, Belgium and Canada. Described as magical, en- chanting and devilish, rang- ing from romantic to avant garde, the duo on flute and guitar promise a fascinating wening on h'eb: ,nary 7,19:x. Finally, the concert on March 27 will feature an outstanding young artist whose solo piano work had already received wide ac- claim and academic recogni- tion. This series of concerts per- formed by young profes- sional musicians is certainly a plus for the residents of Bayfield who will be able to enjoy performances by such high calibre exponents in the environs of their own village. In addition the project enables the ongoing aims of the organizers to be perpetuated, and offers a unique opportunity to sup- port the careers and poten- tial of young Canadian musi- cians. Tickets are already available from Mrs. Graham and other Lioness members, and it is hoped that there will be an encouraging response to this very worthwhile ven- ture. On June 16, the Bayfield Knighthawks sunk the Bayfield Blue Bombers 12-2. The win shoots the Hawks into first place. (Rod Hilts photo) Knighthawks lead division The Bayfield Knighthawks strengthened their hold on their north division lead of the South Huron Slo-Pitch League with a 12-2 victory of the Bayview Blue Bombers on June 16 at Agriculture Park in Bayfield. The Blue B( n2bers played a very strong game con- sidering the fact that they had only nine players in at- tendance at the game and the score doesn't really in- dicate the play. The Bombers started strongly with two quick runs in the first inning but the Knighthawks mixture of super defensive and timely hitting began to take over as they recorded their sixth vic- tory against no losses. On June 15 at Agriculture Park, the Bayfield Flyers lost a close game to the Bluewater Lakes 7-5. The Flyers started strong- ly as they opened a 5-2 lead in the early innings but the Slo-Pitch standings The league standings are as follows up to and including June 19 games.
