Clinton News-Record, 1979-11-01, Page 11L..tist convention held By Janet Talbot Sunday services at the Bayfield Baptist Church were held with the Pastor, Rev. Les. Shiel in charge Of both services, At the evening service Mrs Shiel gave a report On the 26th annual con- vention of the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist, Churches in Canada, which was held at the Sheraton Brock Hotel in Niagara Falls. She thanked the Church for sending her, with the Pastor, as represen- tatives of the Church here. She said it was an honour and a blessing to be affiliated with this great organization, and that what God has done and is doing, is won- derful. For his message, the Pastor used Luke chapter 5, verses one to eleven, and Psalm 107. He reminded all that we should Thank the Lord - First for Salvation. Second Satisfaction and third for Service. After the service, a Fellowship hour was spent in the Sunday School room, with light refreshments, and some discussion concerning the Christmas programs and the bus problem.

Society learns about river About 45 members were present on Monday evening to hear William ,\ Mungall, Resources Manager of the Ausable- Bayfield . Conservation Authority' explain the geology of the area and its effect on the. Bayfield River basin. "Rivers usually flow between moraines, but the Bayfield has found a way to cut across the Wyoming, Lucan and Clinton moraines to wind its way to the . lake", he explained. Another circumstance which makes the river unique is that there are no dams to impede fish from going upstream to spawn. The early dams were built with wooden foundations and inferior cement (the marl was not available for strong cement, as at the rivers further north) ; con- sequently all dams have disappeared, except for a small one on Trick's Creek. Whereas Canada Land Company activity destroyed the wild life habitat in the Ausable basin by its drainage schemes in the last century, the Bayfield River escaped. Today Clinton and Vanastra have more than adequate sewage treatment plants. Between Clinton and the river mouth at .Bayfield' there is a gigantic filter bed in the river basin a mile wide, where sand and gravel purify the water. The effluent is of a better class, Mr. Mungall joked, as it approaches Bayfield. As a result, the Bayfield and its tributary have one of the best potentials , for trout streams and year-round fishing anywhere, the speaker said. In the filter bed there are seven or eight deep and long meander scars which go back 6,000 years. There are 11,000 acres of forest and the best deer yards are in the Bayfield Varna area. These shift around, because the valley is so big. "As for the scenic beauty, it is the most spectacular in the 1,000 square miles under the Authority. The river falls 25 to 30 feet as it approaches Bayfield, providing good conditions for canoeists in the spring." Mr. Mungall explained that whereas recreation has been stressed in the sixties and seventies, water management will be emphasized in the Ausable-Bayfield plans for the future. It is hoped that the silt loss Which requires so much dredging in the harbor will be reduced by win- dbreaks and stream bank enhandement. More intensive farming with less grating by livestock results in rnoa trees tgrowing along he river ,banks in race' t years. Water quality testing programs will be un- deetaken i nd streams . will be rehabilitated to become trout habitat again. There are now several pieces of legislation to protect waters such as 'The Beds of Navigable Waters Act', the Pits and Quarries Act, the Beach Protection Act etc. The speaker was in- troduced by Bayfield Reeve Frank McFadden, who is a member of the executive committee of the . Authority. Former Reeve Ed Oddliefson thanked him for his ex- cellent presentation of the Bayfield River story. During the business of the Society, , Archivist Dorothy Cox gave notice that the Archives room will be open on Tuesdays from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. during the winter mon- ths. She reported im- portant acquisitions to the archives including the Tom Bailey papers and a definitive work on Admiral . Henry Wolsey Bayfield. Dr. Jim Garrett presented a beautifully crafted notice -board to the society, which will be used to advertise future meetings and will be displayed at the Bayfield Archives room. Members were asked by -the president to be on the watch for future meeting notices there. The let= tering on the notice was the work of the Rev. Jim Reddoch. A highlight of th;e evening was a birthday cake, also beautifully crafted by Mrs. Doris Reddoch. Jim Reddoch had a hand in the decoration of the cake too which was in honor of the president, Dr. Grov Shepherd, whose bir- thday it happened to be. Mrs. Margaret Clift and Mrs. Doris MacDougall assisted in serving refreshments. The draw ` for the needlepoint picture will take place at the regular monthly meeting on Monday, November 26.
