Although the patrons were out over the holiday weekend only three vendors showed up, for the first week efof the market, situated~ on the lot south of the Woollen Shop, and one only stayed for part of the day. According to organizer Alex Shevchuk, a number factors contributed to the rather weak begin- ning of the market, A precedent-setti however, the major battle by Bayfield again factor that kept the its share of the Hur vendors away, according County board. educati to Shevchuk, was the fact levy means next yea that the Bayfield Village levy to public scho Council has placed a„fee supporters will of $25 on all vendors who lowered by $8,229. wish to participate in the The fight was won at market.

County clerk Bi, Hanly, who chaired th meeting, said Wednesda the equalization factor i used to set the rati between what property i really valued at and wha it's valued at o municipal assessmen rolls. He said .the factor i decided by averaging th property cost figure from 1968, 1969, and 197 or by using the 1969 value whichever is higher. Bayfield arguedu it assessment is too high and the othe municipalities voted t decrease it by $8,,,,229. Bayfield c1erGordo Graham "said that won t mean a rebate this yea to individual taxpayers but the 1979 educatio levy will be lowered by that amount. He said he hasn' calculated the savings t individual taxpayers. Hanly said changin Bayfield's assessmen has a ripple effect o other municipalities and the provincial grant provided for education. He released a repor Wednesday showing tha Brussels' education taxe will go down $24, Turn berry Township's $14 and West Wawanosh Township's $2. Provincial grants wil increase by $7,518 leaving the remaining 22 municipalities to pay $711 to make up the difference in the Bayfield rollback. The amount to each municipality won't be much, but Oddleifson said earlier he didn't think the other municipalities would "agree to pay more — on principle. Hanly said he'd ex- pected the other The on 1-y real restriction that Shevchuk is placing on vendors is that he will try to keep out dealers who come from a distance and try to sell large inexpensive quantities of ditcount items. The idea of a flea market itself is not new to $ayfield. Last year, a similar market was run at the Bayfield House, but it mostly dealt in antiques. As well, Shevchuk who came from Toronto a year ago to live in Bayfield, has some ex- - perence with flea ma kets. He was in- volved. with some open . air markets and had set up booths at a folk festival in Winnipeg -when he was there.,afew years ago. • Tax appeal won charged to be fair to other businesses operating in the village and, council is not willing to change the bylaw. Shevchuk plans to use the fee to .the advantage of the market and the vendors since the bylaw states that vendors, once they have paid the par- ticipation dues, can come into the village any day of the week, set up their booth and sell their merchandise. Despite the slight disagreement on the fee, council noted that they are in favor of the market since it is felt that it brings extra people into the business section of town, benefitting the local businesses. Council did show concern about the parking. problems that the market might cause. Shevchuk plans to alleviate this problem by asking the vendors not to park their vehicles on Main Street. On a good day Shev- chuk said that the market could accommodate up to 15 vendors. He reasoned that the questionable weather on Saturday kept some vendors away, while others came out of curiosity to see the set up of the market before committing themselves,. to the $25 fee and in- volvement in the operation. Shevchuk, who owns the craft and toy shop, "The Old Same Place" and rents the lot that the market •is situated on, said that it will officially run on Saturdays throughout J.uly and August. "Butt they can come in and set up their booths any day of the week, like any otner business," he added. The market will deal in art, crafts and antiques for the most part. "Some people have come to me and said that they have a garage full of stuff they want to get rid of. That's great, it's just what we want," he added enthusiastically. WMF meet The women of the Bayfield Baptist Church were invited to a Missionary meeting in the Bethel,Bible Church at Egmo,idille, where a very inspiring message was given by Mrs. Helen Fraine of London. After a lovely lunch served by the hostess church, each church represented thanked the Bethel Church for in- viting them and for such an inspiring evening.

Hanly believes Haliburton region is the only other area to have made a similar, suc- cessful appeal of its assessment. The other, municipalities are too late to appeal their assessrn.et,this year, but Hanly expects those upset with education taxes '. will, ask for a heating. "There's going to be a lot mo'fe of them I'm afraid," he said. Ironically, Hanly said, if the province had gone ahead with its proposed property tax system based' .on market value, Bayfield would have had to pay higher taxes. He said there isa large difference between what property in Bayfield was valued at when. the factors were set and now. "We're looking at 1169. factors, and property here (Ontario) ' has skyrocketed in that time. r• try„ 1• Richard McKinley of Zurich, Drew Middleton of Bayfield, Gary Blanchard of Exeter and Doug Scott of Centralia are working under an Opportunities for Youth Program, over the next 11 ,weeks to build a play area for Stanley Township children.

Although the eating spots'.• decor may not have been the most extravagant, the quantity and likely the quality of the food was overwhelming for nearly 1,400 came out to enjoy a pancake breakfast and chicken barbecue in the village. Some 750 Bayfield residents, cot- tagers, tourists, boaters, and people passing through the village devoured 600 chickens, 155 pies, 15 cakes and an infinite number of rolls, baked potatoes and tossed salads at one sitting when the St. Andrew's UCW held their an- nual chicken barbecue on Saturday in the church's Sunday School auditorium. Within four hours a hungry crowd had eaten all that was available, ex- cluding the chicken bones, {and the UCW ladies counted a profit $1,100. The barbecues are not a new project for the ladies as this was its 12th suc- cessful year. The UCW is also used to the large crowds; in 1975, Bayfield's Centennial year, nearly 1,200 people enjoyed the meal. "We always have a really good Hi t.

The profits from this year's barbecue will be used to offset some of the church's expenses, particularly the well -used kitchen that was redone last year and for new flooring. On Sunday, July 2 it was obvious that local people and visitors hadn't had their fill for the weekend as 600 diners, ate approximately 2,000 pancakes and gallons of maple syrup at the -Lion and Lioness pancake breakfast. The pancake breakfast was the third one put on by the club this year and they may have another in the fall. The event raised over $1,000 which will be donated to the construction of a new arena in the village. A special treat at the breakfast which ran from 8:30 am until 2 pm in the Old Town Hall was 'syrup made from/the maple trees in Clan Gregor Square. The syrup ran out before the pancakes, but Doug and Fred Vanderhaar, both of R.R. 2, Bayfield made sure there was an ample supply for everyone's taste buds, bringing some of their.. own.
