High calibre diamon
By Alan Rivett
BAYFIELD - After eight years of plann-
ing and fund raising, the recreation commit-
tee is confident the John Street baseball dia-
mond will be ready by August.
At the recreation committee's meeting on
April 28, they said the next phase of the ball
diamond will be completed, with plans for a
fence and light standards for the ball dia-
mond being approved. In the fall of last
rl,A age Fnr rhc. diamond was

completed.
According to Reeve Dave Johnston, a
member of the committee, the fence will en-
compass the entire diamond with eight foot
high fence in the outfield, four, foot high
fence along the perimeterand six foot high
fence around the players. He said the fenc-
ing around the players, not originally in-
cluded in the plans, was accepted in order to
separate the players from the fans. The cost

of the additional fencing is expected to be
approximately $800.
Reeve Johnston also said the fence com-
pany has yet to be chosen for the project but
will be finalized shortly. The committee also
voted to have the fencing installed. by the
company supplying the fencing because the
work would be guaranteed if problems oc-
cur at a later date.
In respect to lighting, Reeve Johnston
said the diamond will be fitted with six light
standards beyond thefence. The
automatic
system will bet equipped
shut-off mechanism to prevent the lights be-
ing left on overnight. He said the lights may
be set to shut-off at a reasonable hour such
as 12:30 a.m. as is the case at the Goderich
baseball diamonds.
"We just don't want to see taxpayers go-
ing past the diamond and seeing the lights
on and a bunch of kids still playing," said
Reeve Johnston.
Each of the managers of the baseball
teams in Bayfield will be given a key to turn
on or shut-off the lights, he said.
Ruth Wise, the chairperson of the com-
mitee, said work on the fencing and lights
will begin as soon as possible. After this
phase of the work is completed, work will
begin on the infield, with stone dust to be us-
ed for the playing area.
She said $27,000 of the $30,000 needed for
the ball diamond project has been raised
through, grants, fund raising and donations.
In fact, the corrunittee recently app
ied for
and received a government grant for $7,680
to be put towards the ball diamond.
She says the community has given the
project their support with many individuals
donating money, buying draw tickets and
attending fund-raising events. One person,
Bob Cluff, laid out the measurements and
plans for the entire diamond. The members
of the agricultural society also gave their
full permission to do the work at the ball
diamond.
The need for this calibre of diamond will
be even greater as more and more people in
the area are signing up on ball teams, she
said. This year alone, there are four adult
teams and three minor league teams with 51
players already signed up to play this year.
The Bayfield Recreation Committee has
also implemented another
monthly twhole
with one ticket being good
year. The tickets are $12 each with only 200
to be sold. All the money will go towards the
ball diamond renovations.

New antique store opens
By David Emslie
BAYFIELD - As of May 1, residents and
visitors to Bayfield may have noticed a new
antique and inuit art store had opened in
their midst. That store is called Times and
Places.
The store, which sells anything from anti-
que furniture to German hat boxes to
sculptures carved from whale bones, was
built and opened by Marg and Bill Makins,
who have been Bayfield • residents for the
past five years.
-"I decided to do it because we seemed to
be getting too many antiques in our .house,"
Mrs. Makins said. "It was getting difficult
to move around."
With 'their 'decisaoti to build and open the •
store, they bought out all of • the remaining
stock from an antique shop that was closing
in Hensall called the Gresham House.
Before the store was built, though, there
was a little bugalow in the lot, Mrs. Makins
explained. "This is a°brand, spankin' new

"We fell in love with the people and their
crafts," she said. "It's a fantastic part of
Canada." Aside from this, she said, no one
else in Bayfield handles Inuit carvings.
"It's a purely Canadian work of art, so the
Americans can take it home duty free,"
Mrs. Makins said while giving another
reason for their' selling of the art.
Although Mr. Makins will not be involved
in the buying and selling for the store., his
wife pointed out, "He is totally involved
financially."
Times and Places has had a lot of lookers,
