Alun Thomas at St. Andrew's United Church. Bill carne to the village as a small boy with his parents and brother Jim and sister Mary. While they were only teenagers Jim and Bill open- ed a fresh vegetable store in the building now housing the Pizza Palace. It proved so popular the two young men put up a building across the street on land rented to there by Mrs. Gairdner. The store has changed hands and character over the years, but many of us reinember two ambitious boys who loved the life in Bayfield. Our sympathy too goes out to the Fellows family, both Win and Fred Fraser were buried last week. A very devoted couple, who made their long journey through life together, would be happy one feels sure, not to be separated for -long in the hereafter. The family of Douglas Geminhardt too suffered a loss, when Doug was buried last Monday. The Geminhardt family is among Bayfield's earliest, to own a Geminhardt piece of fur- niture is to own a Canadian treasure. A large gathering of friends and relatives at- tended the funeral and gathered afterwards in Trinity Parish Hall to meet the family. The Rev. George Youmatoff conducted the service J citizens are remembered Around about We all enjoyed the Open House held by the Pounder family at the new :.ayfield Village Inn. It certainly is charming and it will be plea- sant to have another ex- cellent place to dine, added to those in town and nearby. The United Church family skating party was lots of fun last Saturday evening and now the members are look- ing forward to the Winners' Dinner on Feburary 15 at 6 P.M. in the Church parlours. The ladies divide into two teams, the Reds and the Whites and in December they bring in all the pennies they can collect and the team which has the largest number is treated to a church dinner by the losers. However as a thank you, the winners provide the even- ing's entertainment. Fair enough. Mark the week of prayer on your calendar, starting with an ecumenical service to be held in Trinity Anglican Church at 7:30 P.M. Curling news The Bayfield Mixed Curl- ing Club would like to re- mind curlers thinking about entering a team in the Bonspiel on February 19 to get in touch with Alice Bran- don as soon as possible.

Telford team with a high score of 17-4. Our top four teams in point stan- dings are within 8 points of each other: M. Francis 1213/4, G. Telford 117'-4, J. Koene 1151/2, A. Brandon 113'-4. Curler of the week is Jim Koene. Congratulations to M. Francis and her ladies team for coming fourth in the Seaforth Bonspiel last Wednesday. It is hoped everyone who was away with the flu this week will be back into curl- ing shape for Sunday hardeners revive nearly extinct tree Dr. Douglas Grant has presented one interesting ex- periment to the Bayfield Garden Club. Approximate- ly 50 years ago, a virus disease wiped out the large stands of our native sweet chestnut trees in Ontario. Twenty years ago Dr. Grant located two of these trees still standing, one mature and one in the sapl- ing stage. Unfortunately the mature tree was destroyed by lightning before he could obtain any nuts. However, about a month ago he did secure 15 nuts, which are probably fertile. Dr. Grant hopes to re- establish this splendid tree in Bayfield and has asked for Garden Club Volunteers to nurture some of these nuts in the hole of producing some healthy trees. The response was im- mediate, Mr. and Mrs. George Chapman, Mr. Harold Beakhust and the Rev. Douglas Pitts are look- ing forward to caring for these possible plants. Dr. Grant hopes that after 50 years the virus may have run its course and the disease may no longer pre- sent a problem. Cruickshank's catalogue has arrived and gardeners are thinking of bulbs again. Tigridias were recommend- ed to club members two years ago and their fascinating flowers have now become very popular. Last year we suggested Acidanthera with its gorgeous perfume. Sugges- tions for a trial this year would be welcome. Paul Dilse, left, from the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Culture was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Hayfield Historical Society meeting, January 22. He was greeted to the village by former reeve George Fellows. 1 George Chapman photo ABCA plans and goals presented to council By Helen Owen Pride in the village and its environs is a characteristic of the residents, and therefore, the presentation 3f the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority ABCA) made on the council on last Monday by Dan Canelli and John Smithers, merits more than a casual reference. The full implications of their policies in connection with the watershed planning process, its development and long term projections, are complex and far-reaching.

This project, undertaken by Jack Pounder, a well- known Bayfield resident, has been taking shape over the last year, and will be managed by Mr. and Mrs. John W. Pounder. lt• is in- teresting to note that both John, and his wife Karen, who will be responsible for the working of this new venture are descended from early village pioneers, Catherine i nee Irwin) and Christopher Johnston, who settled in the area back in the 1830's. They will be living on the premises, and represent the sixth and seventh generations of the family to reside in the area. The inn will open for business February 15th, and there is no doubt that it will offer guests accommodation and catering of the highest quality. Tastefully furnished and decorated throughout the entrance hall welcomes guests with its well- proportioned reception area, and comfortable and spacious lounge.

An imaginative touch is provided by the pictures on display throughout the building. These are photographed reproductions of local scenes, familiar to residents and visitors alike, the frames for which were made by Jack Pounder. The inn combines all the arneruties and techniques of modern construction ranging from sound -proofing to window blinds, fabrics, wallpapers and carpeting, ktichen equipment and furnishings. It uffers its potential guests a delightful atmosphere, comfort and, if the snacks served at the open house are any indication, good catering as well. The good wishes of many friends were expressed by the beautiful display of plants and flowers. Those who availed themselves of the opportunity to inspect the establishment were delighted and impressed with everything they saw. In addition to the areas displayed, further plans are in hand which will he completed during 1983. • These include six family units and the provision of an inndoor swinmung pool and whirl pool. A number of local people have been involved m the construction and decoration, so that apart from its ongoing purpose of providing first-class tourists accwnluilodation, the project has also been, and will continue to be a means of providing employment in the locality.
