Snowmobiles concern Bayfield
(by Milvena Erickson)
Bayfield council met Mon-
day evening, December 18, to
deal with correspondence rec-
eived and to pay all outstand-
ing bills to conclude the busin-
ess of 1972.
A letter from William 0.
Herold of Blue Anchor Invest-
ments was received regarding
icy road conditions fronting
their property. Council will
answer and advise Mr. Herold to
contact the proper party concern
ed as the road does not belong
to the Village of Bayfield and
is not their responsibility.
Correspondence was received
from the International Joint
Commission on Boundary Treat-
ies (1909) regarding the study
of pollution in Lakes Superior
and Huron pertaining to drainage
and the extent of injury and its'
causes due to same.
Meetings are set up in Bay
City, Mich., Sault Ste. Marie,
London, Cleveland, Ohio,
Rochester and Toronto to cond-
uct studies into these problems.

Dutch Celebrate
FeastofSinterklaas
For centuries, the Feast
of Sinterklaas has been
unique as a Dutch and
Flemish event, honoring St.
Nicholas' Calendar Day on
December 6, but celebrated
on the eve, December 5.
Why is St. Nicholas' in-
fluence so strong in Hol-
land? Primarily because he
was the patron saint of
merchants and sailors. The
actual Saint lived from 271
A.D. to December 6, 342 or
343, so that his Calendar
Day honors the date of his
death. He became famous
as the Archbishop of Myra,
in Asia Minor, and per-
formed many good and
saintly deeds. Legend tells
us he performed miracles as
well, such as calming stormy
seas, dropping dowries into
the shoes of penniless maid-
ens, and saving children
from dire harm. He is now
the patron saint of the city
of Amsterdam.
All Dutch children believe
that Sinterklaas, as the
saint is now known, lives in
Spain, where he spends
most of the year recording
the behavior of all children
in a big red book, while his
servant Piet (Pete) stocks
up on presents for the next
December 5. After mid-No-
vember, Sinterklaas mounts
his milk -white steed, Piet
swings the sack full of gifts
over his shoulders, and they
board a ship to sail for Am-
sterdam harbor and a for-
mal welcome by the May-
or and prominent citizens.
Then comes a fabulous par-
ade through town, watched
live and on TV by people all
over the country.
At night Sinterklaas rides
across Holland's rooftops
and Piet distributes gifts
and candy — in exchange
for the hay or carrot which
children leave for the horse
in each little shoe that's left
by the fireplace,
A Sinterklaas present is

Christmas present. Dutch
tradition demands that all
packages be camouflaged in
some imaginative way, and
that each gift be accompa-
nied by a fitting poem. For
the essence of Sinterklaas
is sheer fun — with kidding
expected between all ages
and social groups. Presents
are often hidden all over
the house — and those who
get them must be willing to
work hard for their sur-
prise, The poems that come
with the gifts are expected
to play good-natured jokes
on the giftees and they
must be read aloud. After-
ward, each person says a
loud "Thank you, Sinter-
klaas!" — which is indeed
the way the Hollander feels
about this merry and very
special Christmas festivity.
