Clinton News-Record, 1983-08-31, Page 10PAGE 10—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1983 Y • by Helen Owen and Doros Hunter eviewing summer `83 in rely Doris Hunter September song is now, "the Captains and the Kings depart" and "the meek shall inherit the earth!" Well, not too meek, as we look back on this long hot summer. A reprise would bring us to remember baseball tournaments, and Fire Fighters' games, a lovely garden walk and pancake breakfasts. A big beef barbecue and a fine new minister Mr. Murray added to our village life; the Lions Club Frolic and movies at the Pioneer Park. More pancake breakfasts, more baseball, volleyball tour- naments and an Ecumenical service at Pioneer Park, a Rock Concert, and a revival of the Garden Parties held at the Anglican Rectpry in other days. We had Ray Sealy in concert at the Park and a tremendous Fall Fair to wind up the season. The LACAC published a pam- phlet called Discovering Historic Bayfield and Labour Day approaches with families gathered together to rejoice in another happy season in Bayfield. We should look back with satisfaction. - Round an about Art and Janet, Wayne and Brenda McDougall attended a McDougall clan reunion at the home of Charles and Mary Wain. The double relationship of a brother and sister marrying a sister and brother of the Wain family makes this a very close relationship indeed. Brigadier Smith and his good lady Edith, have all their children at home this week. Gerald and his wife from Toronto, Debbie and Bayne from Vancouver and Sally from Washington, as well as Mr. David Koontz from that same city and granddaughter Cathie who has been acting as librarian at York University this summer. The community joins the Smith family is wishing granddaughter Abby Champ a happy and exciting year as she sets forth for a year of post graduate studies in Crackow, Poland. Bon Voyage Abby, the Little Inn will not be the same without your welcoming smile. On our sick list this week, we still have Roy Fitzsimons in Clinton Hospital and Helen Lebeau who is recuperating there presently. Mr. and Mrs. Hutch ayfield Hutchinson of Lansing, Mich. frequent visitor to our town, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Lance. This Saturday the Lions Club will be making their monthly pick up off newspapers, which should be placed at the curb before 9 a.m. The Lions wish to thank all those who care enough to save their newsprint for them. Last week they slipped off almost 141/2 tons of paper, realizing a profit of $400 for the club's coffers. This is a very big undertaking and heavy, phew! ! We all should be thanking the Lions for this conservation exercise. Our grandmothers used to say "Waste not, want not." The Rev. Mr. Edgar Burch has been visiting his brother Frank Burch and wife Betty. While here he assisted in the judging at the Fair's parade. A chat with Brigadier Clift parade master, and Mrs. Audrey Graham, general secretary of the Agricultural Society, offers an opinion of general satisfaction over our splendid fair. Mrs. Graham was par- ticularly proud of the horses displayed and the over 300 poultry exhibited. Despite the oppressive heat an ex- cellent crowd was in at- tendance. Gate receipts cannot give a fair estimate of the numbers there, as members, exhibitors, and those in parade are all ad- mitted free of charge. The planning committee for the 1984 Fair has already met at the home of Brigadier Clift to prepare for next year. Good show all round. Garden Club plan September meeting The executive of the Bayfield Garden Club couvened in the garden of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Oakes, they are looking forward to the September meeting, on September 12, at which Mr. Graham Beakhust will speak on the care of perennials, a garden's mainstay. Regretably they have had no offers of help for repairs to the destruction and loss of valuable plants by a neigh- boring landscaping crew. The Lions are reminded of their first fall meeting, September 13 and a very special birthday greeting to Mrs. Green, mother of Clara Wilson. Mrs. Green became one of our nonagenarians last year. Many happy returns. Lioness ready for a new season By Helen Owen The Bayfield Lioness are looking forward to another successful season. The first dinner meeting will be held on September 6, instead of on Monday night as is usually the case. It will be held at the There were a lot =of clowns at the Bayfield Fall Fair. This clown was a part of the "Shriners on Scooters" that kept the large parade crowd entertained with their an- tics. ( Rod Hilts photo) Boating industry's best to be seen at Dockside '83 A healthier economy and beautiful weather have meant good news for both Ontario's boating industry and for boaters this summer. Boating industry spokespersons agree that the summer of '83 has been great for the boating in- dustry. And as summer winds down, all concerned are looking forward to Toronto's Dockside '83 boat show, on the waterfront ad- jacent to Ontario Place, September 15 to 18. Dockside is Canada's largest floating boat show and provides boaters, retailers and manufacturers a chance to get together and hash over another season on the waters. "This has been a fantastic summer for boating," said Michael Vollmer, Director of Technical Services for Allied Boating Canada ( ABC) . ABC is the trade association representing about 100 of Canada's major boat x\ manufacturers. "Many large power and sail boats have been sold out. This has been the best year for our industry since 1978," he added, attributing a marked improvement in boating sales this summer to an improved economy, lower interest rates and beautiful weather that is "always good for boating." Mr. Vollmer estimates that there are now between 1.1 and 1.2 million boats in Ontario, ranging from wind - surfers through to canoes, row boats, outboard motor driven craft, inboard motor cruiser and yachts. He said that about 10,000 people begin to (earn about power boating every year in the province, through courses administered by Canadian Power Squadrons. Wendy Wadham, Services Co -Ordinator with the On- tario Sailing Association, says that roughly 10,000 peo- ple also take up sailing every year in Ontario: The Association represents about 160 Ontario clubs - where many of the 500,000 Ontario sailors take to the waves. But unlike some recrea- tional activities, says Ms. Wadham, "sailing is a lifetime sport. The ten -year- old who learns sailing this summer will continue through middle -age. But the older people use bigger boats and don't get wet." With approximately 50,000 craft of all kinds sold in Canada every year, more than half in Ontario, and twice as many per capita boat -owning Canadians as Americans, interest in an event like Dockside '83 runs high. "We expect more than 20,000 people to attend this year's Show," said Manager Mike Brennan. "Everyone will be watching and com- paring notes for signs the recession has really ended." More than 200 craft valued at $8.5 million will be presented by 150 exhibitors in a picturesque setting. Highlights of this year's Show include the presence of two of the largest sailboat makers from France, Beneteau and Jeanneau. The full line of C and C yachts, in- cluding the 35' Challenge Canada will be on view. The Challenge Canada will be the center piece of a unique Canada -wide sailing race to be held next year. Each pro- vincial sailing association will receive a yacht of this type for a race series that pits leading crews from each province against one another. Other Dockside features include new entries from two Ontario manufacturers,' Aura Yachts and Valley Boatworks. Aura will be ex- hibiting its line of yachts in- cluding fast cruising models and craft designed by Allan Payne, who has been involv- ed in the design of 12 meter yachts competing in the fam- ed America's Cup yacht race. Valley Boatworks will debut its Trendsetter 40, a new breed of boat that com- bines the fuel -efficiency of a trawler and the aesthetic ap- peal of a cruiser. A formidable array of twin -engine power boats will also be on view. As well; adds Brennan, the Show will feature "a vast array of boating accessories under a 16,000 sq. ft. tent that has a • Bayfield Arena at 7 p.m. Trinity Anglican Church Women For the second year in succession the ladies of Trinity Anglican Church Women had a stall at the Agricultural Fair August 28. Although the attendance did not appear to be as much as last year their delicious candy, chocolate and crafted goods were a temptation. Total takings have not been estimated, but nevertheless, it seems that the project was successful and the proceeds will be donated to work in the mission field. Resuming their monthly meetings the group will get together at 2 p.m. on Sep- tember 1 at the home of Mary Shepherd on Louisa Street. Social News Mrs. Vera Gregg has had a visitor from Ireland this month as her sister Mrs. Sally Kennedy has been staying with her. She also entertained her sister-in- law, Mrs. Nellie Carr from Chicago, her niece Mrs. Brian Howard and her grand niece Miss Ellen Carr from London, Ont. Thank Yo reputation of being great for bargains." "There's something in to- day's boating world for all skill levels and every age group," he said, "and we think Dockside is a good place to enjoy yourself and stay in touch with a growing and exciting sport." Wet charcoal danger A bag of charcoal left ex- posed to the weather for several days could become a major fire hazard. If it gets damp, the action of the water on the charcoal can cause spontaneous combus- tion. The Ontario Safety League reminds you to store charcoal in a dry place. If you douse hot coals to save them for later use, spread them out to dry, then store them in a metal container away from the house.
