Clinton News-Record, 1981-08-06, Page 11BAYFIELD by Bud Sturgeon, and Helen Owen CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, AUGUST6 , 1981—PAGE 11 Manyrnerchants support the Lioness Penny Sale • Great weekend.... Most of the prizes from the Lioness Penny Sale have now been claimed, and the organizers would like to express their sincere thanks to all who donated prizes and thus helped to make the sale such an enormous success: McLeod's Fisheries, Jim • from page 10 through as they never deliberately tried to run up the score on any other club. Hats off to Benny and the Jets. For their first `place finish the Jets received $150 in prize money, the 'A' Trophy and individual trophies for each member of the team. The Knighthawks picked up $100 in prize money for their second place. finish1 in the tournament. Following the action on the laying field, the awards ere presented in the. arena. The most valuable player 'Trophy in the `A' Division was won by Reid Heffernan of Benny and the Jets. The winner in the 'B' group was Graham Humphry of Kin- cardine Embassy. Norm Aldridge, coach of Benny and the Jets made the draw for the glass bushel and the winner was Jerry Rivard of London. Aldridge then thanked the ball players, their wives, the of- ficials and the umpires for the super job they did and stated that the Jets would be back next year to defend the title. Molson's summer representative, Rick Dawe, stated that he wished to thank everyone on behalf of Molson's Breweries for com- ing out and making the event such a success, and hoped they would all return next year. Molson's of course sponsored the Great Cana- dian Weekend and provided many trophies for the com- petitors. In closing the tournament for this year, Steve Shanahan, co-ordinator, thanked everyone who helped out over the planning stages andthe two-day event and invited everyone back in 1982. There were so many workers it is not possible to name them all. As a final remark he noted that, "The beer tent would stay open un- til 7 p.m." Preliminary figures on Monday showed that over $2,700 had been taken in at the ball tournament and after all the bills are paid, the balance will go towards lights for one of the diamonds. Wrap Up As the Great Canadian Weekend came to a' close everybody went home hap- py. The lo}ons Fish Fry was bigger than last year as they cooked up almost 300 pounds of perch. The kiddies had free rides courtesy of the Lions as they left their car- nival rides in place at the Agricultural grounds after the Frolic. The Lioness con- cession stand was another crowd pleaser as they cook- ed up hundreds and hun- dreds of hot dogs over the two days to whet the ap- petites of hungry ball players and spectators. All in all it was a most en- joyable weekend with something for everyone and we hope everyone will be back next year for the Se- cond Annual Molson's Great Canadian Weekend. Lampoonery It is often said that the heat of summer brings out the worst in people. Once upon a time in a tiny village not unlike Bayfield a man made an observation. He sighted what he thought was a tramp, wending his way through the scrubbrush along the top of the hill by the old mill. He appeared to be carrying a suitcase. As the figure drew closer the man noticed that in fact the `tramp' was carrying a chain saw. Although the heat was stifling he was dressed in a lumberjack's coat and had a woolen cap pulled down over his eyes. At closer inspection he had a third shock, it was the mayor. The mayor then scurried into a waiting truck and left the village, presumably to cut wood. Once upon a time in a tiny village not unlike Bayfield a man was cutting down a tree. It was a hot day and as the after-dinner air cooled it made for better working conditions. As he went about his work he heard a voice sound out. "Woodsman, spare that tree!" Turning around, the woodsman saw it was the mayor. Says the mayor, "We have a law against using a chainsaw in my village after dinner." Querying the mayor on this point the woodsman asked of him, "Why do you not enforce. all your laws then?" On the spot, the mayor admitted that there really wasn't any law against cutting trees with a chainsaw and that he was going to look into enforcing some of his other laws. The moral of this story is not as easily seen but there is one. The mayor is angry because he has to go out of town to cut trees while the townspeople can cut them close to home. Look before you leap? +++ As far as the heat goes, we heard some wild stories coming from Bayfield last weekend. We heard emergency flares were being shot into the air just for fun one night and the O.P.P. had to investigate. In a real mind boggier we heard of the plight of one sailboater. After leaving his boat he was driving his car home from the marina. He was stopped by a group of vigilantes wielding base ll bats and who were determined to beat him up. I tead they opted to show their strength by smashing a p'cnic table at the road - re a few times and we side. "We've been ripped off dont jike strange cars driving through.''Seems'VVd ii that the only. thing that was ever ripped off Was their brains. ® And that was Civic Holiday Weekend. Golfers plan corn roast The weekly Bluewater Golf Course two -ball four- some night was ' held last Tuesday, July 28. It was in the format, total score for the team less their handicap. The winners were, first, Art Mountford, Lloyd Westlake and Kate Moriarty net score of 111.5; second, Mike Moriarty, Jerry Stirl- ing and Florae Oddleifson, net score 112; third place, Mert Elliott, Jean Bartliff and Bill Foster.

(Bud Sturgeon photo) Northern Ireland Colin Harris looks at his homeland Colin Harris is a student minister from ' Belfast, presently serving Knox Presbyterian Church in Bayfield for the summer. He was kind enough to address the Goderich Rotary Club. He said that in this coun- try, Northern Ireland is seen through the eyes of the media concentrating on violence in parts and he em- phasized "parts ,and of two major cities - Belfast and Londondetry. There is much more to Ireland. The whole island is beautiful. The south has the spectacular beauty of Killarney, the rugged cliffs and coves around Dublin, and the fantastic Donegal beaches half a mile wide with few people. In the north, tourism takes in many seaside resorts, parks, castles, two large lakes, quaint villages and many picturesque winding roads. The slower social life style is different from ours. For instance, Belfast with a population of 700,000 people has no traffic problems - ahnost unbelievable. Major industries are shipping, air- craft building, and farming. Security work and glass fac- tories of course have been booming. Around and about • from page 10 his neighbours and friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Mary Nediger became unwell on Friday and is at present a patient in Clinton Hospital. She too, it is hoped, will soon recover and be back among her many friends. Attitudes and moral stan- dards are different too. Divorces are only one in 50 marriages - much less than in Canada. Abortion is not as common -place as here as ap- proximately half the doctors will not perform abortions. He remarked on one young nurse in Canada having dif- ficulty obtaining work because of her views on abortion. Other parts of the . world are even tougher. In the Sudan, there is a 16 year prison term for perfotming an abortion and seven years in jail for committing adultery. The educational system is free to all including those who are admitted to univer- sity. Only about 7 percent go to university but many at- tend business colleges and technical colleges. He receives a grant of $4,000 per year for his education ex- penses. At his college (a Presbyterian one) there are 40-50 students studying- for the ministry. Evidence of church influence will be a training conference to be held in August attended by 5,000 Presbyterian young people in the 15-25 year age COQP group. His church includes 700 families. In his opinion, the troubles in Ireland are political in- stead of religious. There was and is a minority problem in- volving freedom of speech and action. This surfaced in 1969 with a civil rights mar- ch. There are Ulster characters like Ian Paisley who- do not help matters much:, Paisley was a Presbyterian who founded his own church and called it the Free Presbyterian Chur- ch. He was fair and level- headed at the start, but frustration has turned him into a very bitter man. Mr. Harris believes that since Northern Ireland is part of Britain it is normal to have British soldiers there to protect him and other law- abiding citizens from ter- rorists. They are not there to terrorize the country. A lot of guns and explosives found in Ireland are of,Russian make so there is a suggestion of communist influence. The hunger strike is a serious matter, but it cannot be condoned.

Such an act of treason against the state cannot be excused. He finds it difficult to believe the views of the Roman Catholic hierarchy that deliberately starving to death is not suicide because the hunger strikers, once they go into a coma, are in- capable of making that deci- sion. Therefore, they are not to blame for their actions. Mr. Harris concluded: "For a better society peace between man and man is essential but is impossible without peace between man and God. We must invoke God's action if we are to act in peace. Man must accept the peace that is offered because reconciliation is a divine work." Colin Harris was introduc- ed by Rotarian Stewart Oakes and was presented with a memento by presi- dent, Dave Smith. - By Rae Fraser.
