Once, a en Aum ;0 the. Ber,field'
Bou slots Were in evkdei ee, and Bayfield's,
second cricket match,sponsored by
L,A.C.A.C„ provided a different form ,of
sports activity in the Fair Ground.
It is interesting that heritage `sponsorship
of this event must truly be seen as a „com-
bination of recreation and culture as per the
Ministry!
The Woodstock team was batting and it
was interesting to note that the Huddy farm-
ly was represented .by three generations,
grandfather Sid, father Roy and his son
Troy. Despite Bayfield's attempts to thwart
their efforts, the matchwent to Woodstock
who scored 104.
Those of the spectators who accepted the
invitation to appear in colorful costumes ad -

Thanks to Carling. O'Keefe, a fine ,trophy
has now been added to Bayfield"s sporting
awls, and the miniature suitably engrav-
ed was presented to Woodstock et the con-

Owen.
The two teams concluded the event by a
social hour in the municipal building with
promises of future fixtures for next year.
The teams were: Woodstock: Sid Huddy,
Roy Huddy, Don Cocks, Purcell Pennant,
Noel Aaron, James Pierce, Troy Huddy,
Mike Havykins, Jack Vann, Mike Vann and
Courtnev Moulton.
Times may changing, but you still don't wear jeans to a cricket match! Kate
Williams, Andrea Lorenz and Ruth Williams came out to watch Bayfield take on a team
from Woodstock. They had a special interest as Ruth's brother, Alec McAlister, was a
tough competitor. Woodstock defeated their host team. (Anne Narejko photo)

Bayfield, captained by Pat Waters were in

this inexperienced group of players; showed
their mettle and during the course of their
innings scored a very creditable 102 runs.
Refreshed with copious quantities of
lemonade the game then resumed.
Bayfield honours beloved Dr. Shepherd
1 have a cut in my foot Dr. Shepherd.
Keep me playing till the end of day.
The "Thank You" song was equally;
ecjoyed including a solo by Samantha Scott,
nobody appreciating it more than Dr.
Grove, whose love of children is so well
known.
Then followed an amusing skit portraying
a typical day in Dr. Shepherd's office,
complete with three patients including Tyler
Hessel with his dog, needing treatment. Joe
Mayman's walk, to the office with swinging
cane was so typical, a general laugh
followed.
Council mounted the stage with Reeve
Dave Johnston, who, on behalfof the village
presented the doctor with a token gift,
saying his contribution to the village could
not be measured.
Dr. Shepherd was at last allowed his
chance to say thank you for this
heartwarming event and he did so in his own
sincere manner, summing up 51 years of
practicing medicine as an honor to have
served as a doctor.
A standing ovation was the reaction of the
crowd, to a man obviously- held in great

BAYFIELD - It was 'a great big "thank
you" to Bayfield's beloved country Doctor
Grove Shepherd on August 11. Organized by
the thoughtful members of the Lioness, the
large number of villagers attending, showed
how popular their endeavours were.
The secret had been so well kept, the good
Doctor was completely surprised when he.
reluctantly made his way to the Bayfield
Community Centre just to please his beloved
wife Mary. Hailed by the crowd singing
"He's A Jolly Good Fellow" it took him a
minute or two to swallow that .emotional
"lump in the throat" any sensitive person
experiences, if faced with such a tribute.
The Rev. George Youmatoff, friend,
neighbour and patient, acted as Master of
Ceremonies and in his own inimitable style,
outlined Dr. Shepherd's career, from
. student days at McGill University,
marriage to his boyhood sweetheart Mary,
graduation in 1934, to his . practice. in
Windsor.
He served with the ,Armed Forces in
World ,War Two, even .given the task of

devastating battle at Dieppe!
Returning to Windsor, his skill as a
surgeon Was soon recognized, any
Windsorite will tell you of this.
Twenty-five years of holidaying in
Bayfield, finally culminated in the decision
to build a home here and move to Bayfield,
along with Miss Kay Reid, the family's
lifetime friend who also built a home here.
It was a lucky day for Bayfield, people in
the past had pestered any vacationing M.D.
with emergencies. Even some PhDs
helplessly received the wounded at their
door!
A charming part of the ceremonies was
the Children's Choir of Trinity Anglican
Church's offering of song.
. Wendy Hessel conducted the children
accompanied' at the piano by Jennie Scott.
They sang several verses of the song "Give
me oil in my lamp, keep me burning," the
last three made topical by Wendy in this
way.

He.looked for talent and imagination rather

His interviewer ,did not mention his witty
book "Lets All Hate Toronto" published in
1956 by Kingswood House. It is a romp
through Toronto history profusely
illustrated with splendid cartoons. There is
a centerfold entitled "Doing King" which
shows the fashionable and not so of the

Meeting successful
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - . ,The ' Pioneer Park
'Association held a highly successful annual
meeting on August 10 and for once the
weather was gracious to them.
The retiring president, George Fellows,
forgot no-one in his thanks to the members
for their support during his term of office.
Excellent reports with suggestions for
improving the various activities in which
the club is involved, were given by Torrie
McKenzie convenor of the rummage sale,
Professor Walter Thompson, - who has
arranged the entertainment for the season
and also from the committee on the park's
math concern, the erosion. Neil Mustard will
head a committee for further study and
work on the program.
A letter acknowledging the gift of the river
lots, bequested to the Pioneer Parks, from
the village, and in answer to a request from
the Association a permanent plaque will be
mounted on the site to the effect, The Jowett
Lands deeded to the village by Pioneer
Park.
Councillor Jim Quick is arranging this
with help from the Marina Committee.
It was decided ori legal advice that the
Peters' claim to their encroachment on
Pioneer Parks had no validity and a letter

will be sent each year to them to eased that
they are trespassing and should vacate park
prOperty.
A motion was passed for the park to be
closed to the public for one day in each year
to show that the property is privately owned
by the Association. Many people have a
misconception on this point.
It in fact has never been public property
having been purchased by the members
from the Reid estate.
Gail Grant will be in charge of
membership, taking over from Marg
Laudenback,, who has carried this
responsibility'for some years.
A most sincere vote of thanks was given to
the 1985 president George Fellows and the
recommendation of the ,nominating
committee led by Dr. Bill Tillman.
Three new directors were unanimously
'accepted. Voted into office were Ruth
Brown, Pat Waters and Patricia Muratori.
She also will be the convenor of the 1086
rummage sale. ,
Members will be pleased to hear that Dr.
Tillman has accepted the position of
president. This executive includes the three
directors already named, Gail Grant,
Harold Seaman, Torry McKenzie, Charles
Rogers and George Fellows.
