Hoekstra By Helen,Owen BAYFIELD - Some 60 or more people at- tended the Induction Service at St. Andrew's United Church on July 9. The service was conducted by Rev. Robert Sinasac from Dashwood. For the theme of his sermon, Rev. Robert Peebles quoted St. Paul and the ministry of reconciliation. The occasion, he said, was a new page in the history of the congregation, and a time for the formation of new relationships. Rev. Robert Matheson presented the new minister, the Rev. John Hoekstra to the con- gregation, and Rev. John Wood then pro- ceeded with the induction. The spirited sing- ing of the choir under the direction of Molly Cox was, as always, a heart-warming part of the service. A gathering in the parish hall provided an opportunity to meet with the Rev. Hoekstra, his wife Anne and children Deborah and Ronald Wayne. Representatives of the Huron -Perth Presbytery, adjoining townships, the village council and other denominations were introduced by Doreen Mackenzie and expressed greetings and a warm welcome to the Rev. Hoekstra and his family. Once again the ladies of the church pro- vided refreshments and the opportunity for informal exchanges. Rev. Hoekstra was ordained in 1958 and subsequently served in the Reform Church in America, in 1975 he moved to Cambrai, then to Beeton and now comes to Bayfield after three years in Bermuda. Bayfield, he says, offers something entirely different and he looks forward to pursuing a normal pastoral ministry in this environment. He paid tribute to the members of the United Church who had been so helpful and friendly right from the start in assisting his family when they settled into the Manse, and especially to Mr. and Mrs. Ross Merrill who had acted as host and hostess during the transition period. Seniors visit Big Creek If you were not on the bus trip to Big Creek Farm near Caledonia on July 10, you missed the boat! Seniors from Lucan, Exeter, Dashwood, Zurich and Bayfield filled the 47 seat bus. On arrival all were served a free lunch in the Hay Loft. This barn has been renovated into an ice cream parlour, bake shop, craft shop, restaurant and theatre. A small lake at the back with numerous ducks and geese, beautiful scenery and lawn made a restful place to relax on lawn chairs. They then toured the craft shop - a big temptation for the wallet - the aroma from the bake shop was invigorating, and the history of the Grand River on the theatre screen was very interesting. They then took a trip on the boat, Tinkerbell, down to Big Creek. Arriving back they were entertained by a group of dancers, and sang the songs of yesteryear. Everyone then boarded a tram drawn by a small tractor through the hay fields to the Grand River Queen, waiting to take them up to Caledonia where they had an historic tour of the city. On the boat trip back, everyone enjoyed a hot beef dinner, and enjoyed it all as they cruised down the Grand River back to Big Creek Farm. Sunset is too good to resist By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Visitors in the village with Lois and Don Lance just had to leave their hosts' dinner party to see the sunset at Pioneer Park. They have missed it so much since selling their property on Main Street. They are Betty and Frank Burch. Traps We all know that miserable things occur in this town, sometimes described as ar- cadia, but animal traps? Jane Davidson's cat, Simon, dragged himself painfully home this week with two badly mangled front paws. He was rushed at emergency care at Seaforth Veterinary Services in Clinton. The injury was definitely indentified as being caused by a trap. There are devices available to catch marauding animals which don't hurt them. There'are .also known methods of exter- minating such creatures. Surely the person responsible for Simon's pain will remove the cause forthwith.

Babes defeat Shadows in ladies' slow • BAYFIELD - There was some home town competition in Bayfield on July 9 when the undefeated Bayfield Shadows ladies' slow pitch team met the Bayfield Babes. According to the Shadow's short stop Coby Amoraal, it felt like the high spot in the season playing against a home town team where her opponents are all familiar to her. The game was played under ideal weather, with more fans in the stands than ever before, she said. Patti Rau sta ed off the game for the Babes by popping a ball between second base and the outfield, but Mary Pounder made a spectaular defensive play to stop the run. She was injured making the catch. Later in the inning, with a Babe on base, Loretta Ayotte hit a home run into left field. Tracy Johnson, playing for the injured Mary Punder, chllenged Loretta Ayotte's tag at second base during her home run, and the base umpire called her out. The Babes left the top of the first leading 1-0. The Shadows' pitcher, Dale Evans, began Fashion show Two important events on the calendar organized by the Bayfield Lioness are the Fashion Show, to+ take place on July 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Community Centre, and the Penny Sale whichwill take place from July 23-25.

Lisa got to second on a Babe error, but was tagged out when she tried to take third. The second and third innings were fruitful for the Babes as they had two single runs batted in, pushing the score to 3-1 in their favor. During the fifth inning, the Shadow's home runner, Janet Vanderhaar, hit a dou- ble to score a Shadow runner, leaving the score at 3-2 in the Babe's favor. As neither team was able to score any more runs for the remainder of the game, the Shadows suffered their first defeat. Patti Rau pitched a good game for the Babes and deserves a lot of credit for the win. Future home games for the Shadows at• Hayfield's Pioneer Park will be on July 23, July 30 and August 6.
