How._ to spend the holiday weekendrofitabiy was
the,, question. Undecided. I slipped .down to the Mile
High on West Howard Street. The profusion of vehicles
out trent signified a goodly crowd was ;in attendance: I
wandered .in and took up, my regular :stool, (laneing
around I saw the Mole ieople and "Fifty" and also the
"Metal Masters.".
The talk centered around the upcoming hockey
playoffsand trout fishing 'but the only mention of
Easter Was that the Bunny would come and eggs now
came in cases, Treating it like a ball game I called
strike one and ambled back to the Hollow.
Friday was 'definitely strike two. The all day rain
was. "nl sur • assed in mood b the dismality ,of the
.Zur ch Buckeyes performance at e oc ey game we
attended that night.
Saturday was a ball. Sunny days and time to break
out the barbecue for another season of culinary
disasters. Since the Montreal -Boston hockey game
was not on channel 40 as the London Free Press TV
Times has led us to believe We: topped the evening off ,.
with a cottage party. The convoy of vehicles filtered -
slowly down the lane until we reached our. destination.
It was only then we found out the inmates had gobbled
up all Lhe=munchies before -our -arrival. And ---party----
isn't a party without music either. Since the villa was
without stereo about 200 feet of speaker wire was.
strung from° a truck on the road, around the trees,
across the lawn and through the window. Presto
stereo!
The only drawback was that unless you wanted to
hear the B -52's play Rock Lobster all night somebody
had to run out through the mud and change the tape
every 15 minutes.
A few brave souls ventured back to civilization to
forage for food but being delayed by a last call came
back bearing pizzas that looked more like black
frisbees. Beggars can't be choosers so now we faced a
full count.
As 'Sunday's pitch came to the plate it looked like a
sure hit. Large Easter Bunny tracks adorned the
street in front of the Hollow. Judging from the spacing
of the enormous white spots we figured the sucker
would .be about 12 feet tall, 30 feet long and weigh
about 900 pounds. In metric that would be about....,
well who cares anyway? If a creature that size did hop
down the street during the night that would explain the
pounding I thought was in my head. I even got reports
of two smaller rabbits, a black one and a white one
hopping around the village later in the morning
handing out goodies. Sort of restored my faith in the
Easter Bunny even though he didn't leave me
anything.
As the weekend neared home -plate the sure hit
began to look more like a -fowl ball. ,Cars and other
vehicles which were parked all over the village streets
throughout the weekend and sometimes two deep
across private driveways left the populous wondering
- why Bayfield- was -unable to enforce its new parking
bylaw. The most favourable commitwe heart was,
"Why don't they turn the streets into parking lots and
open up the front lawns as permanent freeways?"
What's the umpires decision?'Safe at the plate? No
way, you're out! Monday night the village council
again found it necessary not to approve the recreation
0 committee bylaws with May drawing near and the
soccer field and baseball diamonds laying in ruins its
unfortunate the council couldn't be standing there in
person when the 200 plus players and coaches show up
to play in the mud three weeks. Is that a large enough
Segment of the population` too Worry about? If you
mention "sports and other nonsense" in the same
breath methinks not.
And that was Raster weekend.

Colorado White Water trip
Bud KO-dinson and'
Peter Borrman have just
recently returned from a
rafting adventure down
the picturesque San Juan
River in Colorado. The
expedition was sponsored
by the University of
Denver "Alpine Club".
John Erb a local summer
resident and ex -student of
the university was in-
strumental in arranging
passage for the two
"Bayfielders" on the trip.
It all began with a flight
from Detroit" to Denver
and then a 500 mile car
trip to Bluff Utah which is
in the South Eastern part
of •the state. Passengers
for the trip down the San
Juan included 26 people
-and tvvo dogs-.
The first morning all
the cars were driven
downstream and parked
at "the pullout point".
where the `river empties
into Lake Powell. This is
a man made lake which
supplies water for Los
Angeles. The .rest of the
party were occupied with
rigging up the three
cargo rafts and the five
passenger rafts. The one
week's supply of
groceries and all per-
sonalgear were stowed
away in "delousing"
bags. When packed they
were lashed securely to
the cargo rafts and when
the drivers returned that
afternoon they were
ready to shove off.
The first couple days
were highlighted by 800
year old Indian cliff
dwellings. These sand-
stone block -like struc-
tures were built into large
exposed caverns on. the'
southern faces of the
cliffs. "Petro -cliffs"
which are Indian
drawings on the sides of
the cliffs were also
visible.
The daily routine in-
cluced an early break-
fast, cleaning up the
camp, packing lunches
and then repacking the
"delousing" bags and
then reloading the rafts.
Once loaded, they 'were •
not unpacked until the
next . campsite. The ex-
'pedition averaged 10
miles per day with
frequent stops for hiking,
sightseeing and
regrouping. By 3 or 4
o'clock in the afternoon

Easter held at St. Andrew's Church
An evening Com-
munion Service was held
on Good Friday at St.
Andrew's United Church
where seven young
people were accepted. as
church members. After
making their con-
firmation of faith the new
members shared in the
Communion Service
conducted by Rev. Alun
Thomas. Those received
into membership were
Wayne, Cheryl and Allan
Dunn, Rob Siertsema,
Barb. Campbell, Anne
Haw and Edward Bullen.
Bible readings for the
service were given by the
Minister, Elva Metcalf
and Frank Burch.
On Saturday evening
the men of St. Andrew's
put on a bean supper
which was well attended
by about- 200 hungry
Bayfield and neighboring
residents and weekend
guests.
—About 25 early risers
gathered for the
traditional Sunday
sunrise service initiated
by the St. Andrew's Three
Ms, some years ago. It is
held on the lawn at the
manse overlooking the
river valley and on this
Sunday those fortunate to
be present were treated
to a most spectacular

was made the rafts were

everyone and the evening

pools provided the week's

behold.
Good weather held out
until the last day which
was marred by rain and
occasional snow flurries
making travelling slow.
