A LETTER FROM DORIS
Volunteers make journey
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - the Bayfield Historical
Society was well represented on May 6,
when two of their members, Dorothy Cox
and Ed Oddleifson were among those
honored by the government for their years
of volunteer service in the society.
Travelling with them to Owen Sound to at-
tend the ceremony were Elva Metcalf and
Gwen Pemberton, both of whom received
this honor last year, as did Ethel Poth. The
president, Doris Hunter, enjoyed accompa-
nying these members of the club.
Torp-Penhale continues to bring fame to
our village. His latest visitors were a group
from Germany, fortunately with an inter-
pretor 'along, who came to see Tom and
Rick's splendid carriage, with the thought of
ordering horsedrawn carriage taxis. A
delegation of 27 compatriots will be meeting
at Hessenland Inn early in June and coming
here to see the carriages.
Good to have Knox Presbyterian Church
re -opening the doors for the 1987 season, on
Sunday May 17 at 11 a.m.
It is well that our village has churches of
five differnt forms of worship. Freedom of
choice is an essential part of the Christian
faith. All our churches welcome visitors to
their services and Knox is no exception.
Barbara Young has been re -appointed as
student minister by the Board of World Mis-
sions. She served here last year and made
many friends among us. This is her third
year as a theology student at Knox College
Toronto. She is an elder at Knollwood Park,
Presbyterian Church in London, and during
this winter she has been student minister at
Elmwood Ave. Presbyterian Church in
London.
Her husband, Doug, and 17 -year-old
daughter, Heather, share in her love of the
Church's work.
The lady is a veritable bundle of energy,
commuting to Toronto for the school week
and back to London Friday nights for time
with her family and her church services in
London.

One of our enterprising young men, Rob
Cluff, has taken advantage of the Youth
Venture Capital Program sponsord by the
government. There are loans available for
students setting themselves up in some form
of business. Young people must have a sum
of their own money to invest but the pro-
gram gives them a good capital to start
with.
Application forms are available at the
school.
Rob has to go into the clothing field. He
has rented space in what was once Harry
MacDonald's garage, next to the Pizza
Palace and will be open for business next
weekend.
Robhas named his shop The Clothes Line
and his stock of casual clothes should really
appeal to the smart young folks around
town. Lots of T-shirts, jeans and yes dresses
too, a fine place to shop.
Ron Greidanus is going to British Colum-
bia to a music camp this summer and Trini-
ty Anglican Church took pleasure in presen-
ting him, their organist, with a cheque, to
help defray his expenses.
The UCW has been busy. this week, mak-
ing a quantity of their excellent pies for the
annual beef barbecue, which will be here
before we know it.

missioned to bring out a limited edition of

drew's Church. Orders may be placed now.

It's the time of the year which boaters look towards with great anticipation. Although it is
a fair amount of work, boaters are glad when their vessels are put back in the water. On
May 9 many boaters' waiting was over as the crane was hard at work. (Anne Narejko

Bottle depot set up
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - On May 9, Bayfield Recrea-
tion Committee was much in evidence to in-
itiate their latest project, a return depot for
beer bottles and cans.
The depot will be open from 10 a.rn. to 2
p.m. on Saturdays manned by members of
the committee and the ball team with the ob-
jective of raising funds to make up the
deficit incurred as a result of the installation
of the ball diamond lighting system.
Business was fairly brisk, and there was
every indication that the project would be
well patronized as news spread. It has been
possible to use the old town hall for this pur-
pose without any infringement of the regula-
tions or detriment to the building, and it is
hoped that succeeding weeks will prove wor-
thwhile to the committee and of service to
the public.
News From Clan Gregor
This week Mother's Day was a very
special event for Lilian Penhale. It coincid-
ed with the baptism of her 10th great grand-
child at Holmesville.
The infant was given the names Randy
Howard and is the son of Bob and Doreen
McCullough whose respective families were
in attendance.
Connie Graham, at present a patient in
Clinton Public Hospital, is continuing to
make a good recovery from her recent hip
operation.
Opening Of Children's
Ball Season
What looks as if it will be a promising
season for the Bayf ield Children's Ball and
T -ball teams started off wit, practicce for
the Squirts and the Mites last Saturday.
Next weekend, May 16, Tykes and T -ball
participants will be welcomed to practice.
Each year now children are recruited from
the cottagers, which is good for the children
and for participation in the community.
Senior Citizens Forms
Although not everyone has yet returned
the enquiry forms, the result so far has been
very encouraging.
An analysis of the answers is now being
made, and when this has been finalized the
next stage will be the identification of priori -
Lions prepare
for morning
of cooking
ty objectives and the setting up of
preliminary programs on a trial basis.
The offers of volunteers are much ap-
preciated and a steering committee is to be
formed. This will enable these resources to
he utilized in the best possible way, not too
demanding, covering some of the queries
which have been raised and providing much
needed services tailored to meet the specific
needs of Bayfield in such a way as to meet
the best interests of service users.
If you have not yet filled in your form - it's
not too late. The more comprehensive the
response and input the better it will be. Sug-
gestions from all age groups and business
people will be welcome.
The reality of achieving the objectives as
soon as possible does depend to some extent
on the community.
Canada's Fitweek
Once again Canada's Fitweek is being co-
ordinated by Fitness Canada in co-operation
with provincial and territorial govern-
ments. This nationwide celebration of
physical activity is scheduled from May 22
to 31.
Ontario has taken a leading role since the
inception of this project and many active
communities have earned national awards
for their exceptional participation.
An appropriate kick-off will be Sneaker
Day on May 22. This is the day when
everyone is invited to wear sneakers - at the
office, school, on the job, shopping or at
home. Who, one wonders possesses the most
historic pair of sneakers in the Village of
Bayfield?
Suggestions for celebration range from
swimming events, a one -day promotion in-
volving the community in 15 minutes exer-
cise on a specific day, a Fitweek program
for school children, dancing, or MOGA - the
Most Outrageous Group Activity in a school
involving physical fitness and fun.
The ingenious ideas abound, all combin-
ing fitness and fun, geared to the
capabilities of all age groups, involving
challenges and beneficial causes.
So, to quote from the letter from the
Ministry of Tourism and Recreation - if the
shoe fits - wear it - on Sneaker Day'

sion newcomers introduce themselves to

enjoy an excellent meal, and at the same
time, support the Club in a very worthwhile
project of benefit to the community.
