Bayfield�ugle
The Bayfield Library was a busy place on August 25 when a good crowd of children
gathered to watch a puppet show. The puppeteer for the afternoon's event was Marion
Doucette, from the Huron County Public Library. (David Emslie photo)
A LETTER FROM DORIS
Marina proposal comes under, fire
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Quite a meeting on Saturday
when, Bayfield citizens turned out in force,
to protest the further development of the
river east of the bridge, to accommodate 100
small craft.
No one mentioned the inevitable traffic
congestion on the highway, with the propos-
ed parking lot needing exit for the cars.
The number of people who endeavoured to
make themselves heard on that recalcitrant
microphone were certainly a cross section
of our community from Margaret McLeod
Fawcette and Veronica Sturgeon who surely
represent the early families of town, to sum-
mer residents, and those of us who brave the
winters and manage to survive without the
tourists.
One person has waxed poetic and in-
trusted this gem to me.
Oh Dear, oh dear, is it right
To ruin Bayfield in the night?
So galleons from a foreign strand
Can dock and stay where once was sand?
To build a jetty strong and firm
And excavate our tree -lined berms
Where once our fishermen could roam
And dry their nets on racks that moan?
And what the reason, shady schemer,
To eradicate the little beaver?
My children's loss - they'll never see
Just how the beaver fells a tree.
Tourist promoters, should try to unders-
tand that travellers are looking for Cana-
dians, their interest, their flora and fauna.
Our house guest this weekend was a
teenager from Woodstock, England. She
had seen the sights in Toronto, Niagara
Falls, etc. etc. but what excited her most,
was a canoe trip on the Ausable through the
Pinery. Beavers and heron were what she
will remember, when the CN Tower is
forgotten.
Just a few years ago a paddle up the
Bayfield could have shown her such sights.
Dorothy Sangster, the journalist who
wrote such an interesting article about our
Bayfield; for the periodical Ontario Living,
was a guest of the Albion management this
weekend. Her husband, Sydney Katz, who
also is very well known in the literary field,
accompanied her.
Autumn weddings have been very popular
for many years. Mildred and George
Fellows, who have summered here for so
many years, celebrated their 50th anniver-
sary on Sunday.

become real Bayfielders in the relatively
short time they have lived here, are
remembering their wedding 50 years ago,
September 1. Lilian and Harold have fitted
right into community living and become
dear to the many folks who ktiow them.
Congratulations to both couples, well
known to us all.
Serena Chilton and Bob Snell have chosen
a September wedding date too and we hope
they will celebrate their 50th in 2037 in good
health and happiness together.
Serena was guest of honor at a kitchen and
bedroom shower, given by Leigh Anne
Tamen, with her sister Lisa and mother
Rose at their home. There were 25 guests in-
cluding' relatives and friends from her
childhood, a most happy evening.
On September 3, at 7:30 p.m. in St. An-
drew's Church Parlours, a miscellaneous
community shower has been arranged, to
which everyone is invited.
Always a problem at showers is what to
give which will be suitable for the couple's
life style. If you have a similar difficulty,
there will be a money tree at the door, the
donor's name can be listed and the bride will
be able to choose a gift for herself, a most
practical modern custom.
Further information may be obtained by
calling Deb Johnston after 5:30 p.m. The
number to dial is 565-2101.
Many families have had very special
visits together this summer. The children of
the late Sylvanus Cann, who served in World
War I, and lived to a ripe old age were
together at the home of his daughter and
son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. George Stevenson
RR 1. Here for the fair weekend with them,
were daughter Barb Baxter, he- two
children David and Kevin from Guelph,
their granddaughter Laurie Stevenson and
friend Jaye Wright also from Guelph,
grandson Jeff Stevenson from Toronto;
Mrs. Stevenson's brother Bruce Cann of Ex-
eter and her niece Pearl with her husband
Ray Bower from Arthur.
They participated in fair events. Kevin
came fourth in the junior parade, Pearl
Bower fourth in the bag tying contest and
Mrs. Stevenson, taking top points in the bak-
ing section, winning two free dinners at the
Bayfield Village Inn for the third time.
Sylvanus would have been proud of his fami-
ly. He always turned out for parades they
tell me.
Barbara and Fred Erb, revelled in having
the first of the fourth generation in their
family to be initiated into the joy of Bayfield
summer. Margaret Direkson Liedtke, who
was named for her two great grandmothers,
is the first child of the Erb's daughter Leslie
and her husband J. Hugh Liedtke Jr. who
live in Denver, Colorado.
Barbara and her sister, Pat Cantrick, are
nieces of Fanny and Lilian Morely who
came to Bayfield first travelling by steam-
ship from Detroit to Goderich, then to
Bayfield by stage. Their family has sum-
mered here ever since and take a keen in-
terest in village affairs, a warm welcome to
their newest member.
St. Andrew's Church has new members,
welcomed by transfer from other churches.
Mrs. Jim MacRae, Joanne Telford and Mrs.
Doug Wallis.
On August 29, the 3M group of St. An-
drew's organized a successful pork
barbecue in Stanley Township Park with 56
participants who enjoyed the salads and
desserts, pleasant company and a beautiful
sunset over the lake.
Puppet show, smashing success
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - On August 25 more than 30
people, children and adults enjoyed a per-
formance given by Marian Doucette. Gob-
ble It Up was the theme of the presentation,
and one by one Ms. Doucette introduced her
audience to her cast of puppets. What a
variety and what fun to listen to the stories
and watch those puppets tuck into sand-
wiches and spaghetti.
Especially popular was the story of the old
woman who swallowed a fly, and as she pro-
ceeded with her extraordinary diet, the
children joined in echoing the familiar lines.
In conclusion each child, and some adults,
tried their hands at origami. With just a lit-
tle help even the youngest managed the
folds and produced a pink pig, something to
take home as well as a picture to color.
It was a successful program and one en-
joyed by the children who gave it their un-
divided attention.
Diners' club is growing
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - The second Senior Diners'
Club offered an excellent meal at the com-
munity centre on August 27. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the roast beef and apple
crumble which formed the main part of the
menu.
Some newcolucrs were welcomed and it is
hoped that others will take advantage of this
service. Not only is the food excellent, serv-
ed 'just like home' as someone said, but also
there is an air of friendliness and an oppor-
tunity to meet and talk to others in a
sociable atmosphere.
From now on the meal will be served
regularly on Thursday at 12:30 a.m. in the
community centre, but organizers do need
to know in advance the names of those who
plan to come as this helps in planning the
catering - so please let us 'know by mid-day
on Mondays.
As Helen Owen will be on holidays please

Junior Baseball News
This week it was the turn of the Cheese
Nook Squirts to play in the tournament at
Benmiller. They acquitted themselves well
in the first game when they defeated Blyth
with a score of 9-5. Then on Saturday morn-
ing they were matched against Hullett, and
despite their valiant efforts, the game went
to their opponents who scored 13 to the
Squirts 7.
Next Friday the teams will hold their end
of season party. At this point thanks are due
to Wendy Hessel who has coordinated the
programs, and to Cathie Fisher and Mary
Pounder whose coaching has produced such
good results.
