For full details and times watch for the notices which will be posted outside the church. Ratepayers' Annual Meeting Some forty people turned out for the Annual General Meeting Ratepayers' Association on July 10. President Jack Pounder welcomed them, and follow- ing the formal business, the slate of officers for 1983/84 was presented. Although a further nomination was made from the floor, the nominee, Mr. Rae Fraser, withdrew, and the slate was accepted with officers for the coming year being ap- pointed as follows: presi- dent, Jack Laudenbach; vice-president, Peg Willock; secretary, Barbara Sturgeon; treasurer, Ernie Hovey; executive members, Pat Muratori, Jack Pounder, Sally Leitch, II. Scotchmer, Sonnie Stephens and John Elliot. Before handing over to the new president, Mr. Pounder reviewed the items which the Association had dealt with during the course of the year; which fncluded recom- mendations to Council for more comprehensive and ef- fective by-laws, the Village Survey, highway traffic pro- blems and river pollution. Under new business the Association expressed its concern with regard to in- discriminate business ac- tivities, possible dangers of wind -surfing, recent damage to the road allowance at the bottom of Mara Street, and future consideration that so- meone from the village of Bayfield should be a representative onthe Educa- tion Board. Reeve, Dave Johnston, was present to answer ques- tions, the first of which con- cerned a recent expropria- tion notice which had ap- peared in the Clinton newspaper. The Reeve ex- plained that the Council was attempting to obtain title for the village of a portion of land from the old bridge abutment, running east to Mr. Constable's present line. The reasons were threefold - shore stabilization, access to the river for the general public and a green belt area. At this point no figures were available with regard to the CAMPBELL'S SIDEWALK SALE CONTINUES IN THE STORE!

MAIN CORNER CLINTON 482-9732 i cost involved, and Council's decisions in the matter would obviously require careful consideration of this aspect. Nevertheless, he pointed out, this was something that went as far back as 1975 at which time the Ausable/Bayfield Con- servation Authority had become involved. He also ad- ded that perhaps it was not widely appreciated that the improvements and anti - erosion work which had been achieved along the river to date had not cost the tax- payer anything, as the necessary funds had been made available from the Ausable/Bayfield Authority and the Marina account. As a result the community was now able to enjoy the facilities of this landscaped area for recreation and pic- nics. The questioner, Mr. John Crosthwaite, was also advised that the area in question included the old Tote Road, a subject of in- terest and concern of the Ratepayers for some time past, and one still under con- sideration. Mr. Rae Fraser question- ed the Reeve on the subject of by-laws and their enforce- ment, and the Reeve outlin- ed the situation to date say- ing that among other points which had to be dealt with was the re -writing of the County Planning By -Laws. Whilst appreciating the con- cern of Ratepayers, priorities haNkto be establish- ed, and there was no doubt a number of excellent by-laws established for a particular purpose -in the past, had now to be revised, amended and updated. Current situations had not existed and these had to be dealt with, not only as matters of immediate concern but on a long term basis. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Reeve for his clear exposition of the queries of the members, and to the retiring president, Jack Pounder, for his untir- ing efforts in pursuing the Ratepayers' interests during his term of office. Last weekend a volleyball tournament was held at Pioneer Park in Bayfield. The action was fast and furious with some fine volleyball skills being displayed.

Knighthawks finish second in Goderich tournament This past weekend the Bayfield Knighthawks com- peted in the Goderich Men's Slo-Pitch Tourney and to say they did well would be an understatement. The 32 team tourney com- menced in Goderich at 7:00 p.m. on Friday and play con- tinued all through the long weekend and when the dust settled there were two teams remaining to battle for the $500.00 first prize. One of these two teams just happen- ed to be the Knighthawks. Unfortunately for the boys from Bayfield the other team was an ensemble from Kincardine known as Muf- fler World. The "Muffs" pro- ved to have too much firepower for the Hawks and in the end they scored a con- vincing 23-3 victory over a very game but also very tired Bayfield team. Because of the double elimination set up of the tourney the Hawks had to play three games in a row on Monday morning to qualify for the final starting at 10:30 a.m. and finishing somewhere around 2:30 p.m. After having won all three of those games, the Hawks then faced the task of knock- ing off the "Muffs", not just once, but twice. The "Muffs" had waltzed through the tournament without a loss playing their last game Sun- day night at 9:00 p.m., so they were primed for the final. Neither team scored any runs in the first inning but in their half of the second the "Muffs" got three runs on two homers. However, the Hawks made the "Muffs" take notice as they respond- ed for three runs of their oven with solo homers from Greg Butler, Tim Vest and Stewart Turner to tie the game. Kincardine then ex- ploded for seven runs in the third and victory was secured. The Hawks receiv- ed $350.00 fortheir efforts. To get to the final Bayfield played a total of nine games against some very tough op- position. A very special note of the tournament was that Tim West was named M.V.P. of the "A" Division which was a tribute to Tim's fine pit- ching and hitting throughout the tourney.
