Correspondentpraises work done by volunteers
By Doris Hunter
One of the joys of writing for the News -
Record is the opportunity of voicing verbal
bouquets to the people who make up the
community family and who do worthwhile
and interesting things for us.
• This week has been what our favourite
humourist Stephen Leacock would have
called Callithumpian and children of
yesterday described as Big Days.
The Lions' and Lioness' combined efforts
will be covered elsewhere but of course they
deserve a bouquet. Then we have a group of
holidaying youngsters, who proved their
stamina as cyclists for the benefit of the Sick
Children's Hospital.
Andrea, Caitlin, and Benjamin McKenzie,
with Geoffrey and Andrew Baker and David
Oakes, aged four to nine years, completed 20
laps of a course laid out for them from the
trailer camp road in what used to be
Jowett's Grove to the entrance to Highway
21 and thus earned their sponsors' pledges.
Another bouquet to Professor Eric and
Phillipa Pemberton, who on a weekend visit
to -Eric's mother Gwen Pemberton, spent
night in the town hall amJng the 50 waving
quilts, as security guards.
When a small boy Eric and his brothers
were the envy of their friends because they
were always "sleeping out" but the beach
and the woods could not equal a night among
the quilts!
When we mention quilts, Mrs. Lois Lance
will always be in our minds. She not only
conceived and organized the quilt show, she
would be the first to say with the help of a
competent and willing committee, but she
all by herself, braved a night among those
spectre like hanging quilts so a double
barrelled bouquet to you Mrs. Lance!
The signs are up for the Bayfield
Agricultural Fair, Sept. 25.
Ours was the first fair to have one of Tom
Penhale's superb wagons on parade.
The last two weeks have seem two of these
works of art off to their destination, one to
Central Hall, Pennsylvania, and the other to
Rock Island, Illinois.
Tom and his fellow craftsmen Brad Begot
and Tim Curtis have let out a great sigh of
relief and satisfaction as the wagons are on
their way, in full splendour and will be on
parade at the Ohio State Fair.
This is the one the movie was supposed to
be about. O.H.I.O. they called the state
affectionately.
, The Recreation Committee made their
monthly draw on the weekend and Bill
Mcllwain won the $50 prize. Luck must run
in the family as Don took the first draw.
The United Church enjoyed the music of a
visiting organist on Sunday last, when
Donna McBeth played in Mrs. Cox's
absence.
The McAlisters ioined in the Bicentennial
fever by opening their gallery on the Bluffs
for a special showing of Leda's beautiful
paintings and prints as well as pottery by
Ruth McAlister Williams and lovely frames
constructed by Alec.
Friends were invited to view the exhibits
and to enjoy the gardens and beach at their
delightful location. A three day event, it was
very relaxing and interesting. Visitors could
see the changing techniques of Leda's work
and were charmed by the whole occasion.
Last week we polled a number of people on
the question of what do you look for ink good
restaurant so it is only fair to discuss our
restauranteurs on what constitutes a good
customer.
Each of our busy owners took time to
consider the matter and all came up with the
importance of a customer making all
complaints to the owner. They also
appreciate a thank you and any words of
praise for the cuisine or the service make it
all seem worthwhile.
A friendly attitude to the staff insures
serviceto match and tolerance when a
restaurant is obviously a great boon, when
kitchen and Waiters are doing their best to
serve everyone.
Fine food establishments enjoy discussing
the special dishes the chef prepares, they
like to make your evening with you an event
but can only do so with your cooperation.
A great big no no is the bad manners of the
person, who reserves a table for six and
arrives with ten, a phone call at the last
minute could prevent confusion and even
disaster. Also people who make
reservations should be on time. Mrs. Post's
book on etiquette states very firmly that
guests should be right on time for dinner, not
early, not late and who would argue with
Mrs. Post?
Lastly do admire the decor! Ambiance is
the word now used both by customer and
proprietor, The one enjoys it and the other
very proud when he achieves it. You can
choose the kind you enjoy in Bayfield - we're
fortunate to have such variety.
In the midst of all our celebrations this
weekend, we were saddened by the death of
Berthena Hammond.
Mr. Youmatoff described her at the
funeral as a quiet woman and those of us
who have known her from girlhood
remember her as just such a person, one
who was just quietly there, always ready to
help, a good friend.
Berthena served in the Post Office for
many years, she was a volunteer helper at
the recently closed Hospital for the
Developmentally Handicapped, active in
the Chancel Guild and the Trinity Ladies
Guild at that church.
She is descended from one of our earliest
Irish settlers in Bayfield. Her grandfather
James Sturgeon came to Canada in 1847 at
the age of 16.
He has many descendants in the area,
over sixty gathered near Port Dover for
their family reunion and their memories of
Berthena are shared by her many'friends in
town.
Anne Street no longer has an overhanging
hazard as Rick Penhale removed the branch
leaving everything neat and tidy.
The Trinity Ladies Guild met on Tuesday
to finalize plans for their Garden Supper
Party on August 18. Don't miss it.
Garden Club on lookout for entries
By Helen Owen
This is the month that the members of
Bayfield Garden Club are busy watching
their flowers and vegetables, looking for
those special items to be entered at the
Agricultural Fair on August 24. It is 'hoped
that, once again, they will all make that
extra effort to produce as many entries as
possible,, not only to support the promoters
of the *Fair, butt to show just what they can
do.
It is true the weather have been very dry,
but this is something with which all
gardeners have to cope. The Garden Club
has established a reputation for its
participation in the community and this
participation in the Fair is one of the many
ways in which their support is
demonstrated. So - no regular meeting in
August, bait lots of entries at the Fair.
And just a reminder to those who have not
got round to renewing their membership
during 1984. There's still time to make it in
order to qualify for premium bulbs as long
as membership is taken out before August
31. If you have overlooked this item
membership may be obtained by calling 565-
2956 or 565-2667.

Pioneer . arlc.cortfront erosion
The Highlight of the Pioneer Park annual
general meeting was the presentation made
by - Mark Stephens in connection with
solutions to the serious erosion problems
with which the organization is, now
confronted. The problems have continued to
develop over the years, and the steps
outlined by him to combat the situation had
been compiled after an exhaustive study in
which Mr. Neil Mustard and Mr. Tony
Plimm had been involved.
Mr. Stephens explained in layman's terms
to causes effects and proposed solutions. He.
stressed the urgency for action to be taken
as soon as possible and gave the estimated
cost ofthe project as being approximately
$14,000 which would include the cost of
materials, and installation of pipes in order
to stabilize the tow of the bank.
Mr. Stephens was congratulated on the
excellent job which had been done, and the
membership then went on to discuss the
funding.
Whilst money was available from the
savings fund this was not sufficient to meet
the total cost, and a mortgage with the Bank
of Comrnerce was not due to mature until
next year. Nevertheless the
recommendation was made that the work
'should proceed . and an item contract
prepared to detail the expenditure. One
member present offereda loan of $5,000 at
about half the current bank rate, and it was
subsequently decided to authorize the
executive to borrow up to $10,000 for the
project.
