MARCH 30, 1983 Junior Gardeners hold meeting By Doris Hunter Junior Gardeners On March 28, the Junior Gardener s met with eight members present. We discussed the steps to preparing and planting a garden including soil, fer- tilizers, compost, watering, friends and foes, and how and when to plant. Then we each made a chart depicting each step. Finally we made a seed doll, placing radish seeds on a paper towel, roll- ing it up and placing it in a jar with a bit of water. In a week's time we will unroll the towel and see if the seeds have sprouted. To all euchre members The next two meetings are the last of this season, and unless someone volunteers to run the group next year, these bi-monthly meetings will cease. In lieu of the April 6 Hospital Bridge and Euchre Evening, "the hat will be passed around" for dona- tions to the cause April 20th will be the banquet meeting. Winners at the last meeting: high lady, Lenora Orr; high gent, George Bell; low lady, Phyllis Heard; low gent, Bruce McClinchey ; lone hands, (''rank McClin- chey. Round about Those looking forward to the annual St. Andrew's Church Stewards Ham Sup- per, should note the date is April 16, at 5 Y.M. rather than the day erroneously published. The charges are $5 for adults and $1 for children 12 and under. The Reverend Alun and Gillian Thomas are to be congratulated on the arrival of their baby daughter Maria. The sympathy of the village is extended to the McAlister family in the loss of their father and to Mrs. McAlister, whose husband she mourns. Mr. McAlister was a beloved figure in Bayfield, supporting every endeavour of the community and gracing all occasion with his gentle manly presence. Miss Abbie Champ will be acting as your Bayfield cor- respondent fur the months of April and May. She comes well qualified. A graduate of Brigham Young University in Utah, she is the daughter of that well known news commen- tator Henry Champ of CTV Television programming. Presently, she is manageress of the little Inn, but Bayfielders have known her since childhood as she visited with her family at the home of her grandparents Brigadier and Mrs. Morgan Smith. Abbie can receive messages at the Smith residence. The phone number is 565-2401. Visiting their grand- mother Doris Hunter this week are Alexandra Downie of Kingston, Avery MacLean and her brothers Conan and Dugald from Toronto.

The proceeds are donated to Mission work, so come along and spend an en- joyable and sociable after- noon helping to support a good cause. A hayfield Home Dowler house built in 1858 By bawls Hunter The Dowler residence is everyone's favourite and it is fitting that it should be own- ed by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dowler whose other home is in London. Mrs. Dowler is our very talented painter of Hayfield's pleasant buildings. The house was built in 1858 by John Ferguson, a fisher- man and the village policeman. The buff colored brick was actually made in Bayfield. The lovely fan light over the front door is a gem and the paired brackets of the eaves are beautifully carved.

(George Chapman photo) ayfield Council news By Helen Owen When the Bayfield Council met for their regular meeting on March 21, a report was given on the finance committee meeting which had been held on March 14. Presentations were made in connection with the fire insurance for the village, which was due to renewal. The proposals of Mr. J.R. McConkey were ac- cepted which provided for 100 percent replacement costs on all buildings with only a very slight increase in premium. This was the first time for such complete coverage and meant that in the event of damage there would be no call on the tax- payers. It was also agreed that Councillors would receive an increase of 5 percent on their salaries, together with $100 per annum for atten- dance at special meetings. A further meeting had been held, in camera, on March 17 in order to discuss salaries of council employees as it was felt that such matters pertaining to individuals required the observation of full confiden- tiality. On -behalf of LACAC, Mrs. Gwen Pemberton, presented the proposed budget. This in- cluded provision of a suitable notice, board struc- ture for the display of infor- mation relative to local ac- tivities, street signs regar- ding Heritage, public rela- tions, correspondence and sundries. conference ex- penses, advertisements and consultation fees. The total CO -FD EXERCISE Starting April 7 Monday & T tar d Y 8-9 pm At The Sayfieid Community Centre amount was estimated at $3250 and council would be taking the proposals into ac- count when assessing the overall figures for 1983. LACAC had suggestions with regard to garbage con- tainers, and were asked to supply drawings and costs for consideration at the next meeting. Mrs. Pemberton also gave a brief outline of schemes and methods of obtaining government grants in con- nection with Heritage con- servation. The final version of the descriptive booklet covering the designated Heritage area, as required by the bylaw, was produced for council's approval. The Clerk -Treasurer reported that an advertise- ment had been placed for ap- plications for the position of arena manager, and the Reeve proposed that a selec- tion committee should be set up to deal with these. He placed particular emphasis on the fact that because of the likelihood of conflict of interest it should be made quite clear that any person concerned, who might have such a conflict, should be ex- cluded from the committee. Council were also advised that in order for the arena to operate a certificate of com- pletion was required, and it was agreed that Kleinfeldt should be instructed to go ahead with this matter. Agreeing to the purchase of a tractor, council also ex- pressed appreciation of the co-operation which it had received from Mr. Boyce, from whom the purchase would be made. Mr. J.P. Ducharme had tabled his proposals regar- ding the subdivision. It was the opinion of council that these should be referred to council's solicitors for ad- vice and definition of the position of the village in respect of these matters. Correspondence included an announcement that the week of June 19 would be Senior Citizen's week. Also Council had received another communication with regard to suggestions for recreational activities. The recreation committee were considering these proposals, and a suggestion was made that they might also be of in- terest to Pioneer Park organizers. Road Superintendent, Mr. Rick Penhale, informed council that `parking signs' were in order, and requested approval to go ahead with the fertilizing and rolling of the ball diamond. He also provided an estimate for the purchase of a rotary mower which was approved. Referr- ing to the tree nursery which had been established by the village, Mr. Penhale sug- gested the purchase of some further replacement stock. Council agreed and com- mended him on the cultiva- tion of this project. Attention was drawn to the fact that in reporting the contributions towards , the provision and installation of windows in the arena, the No -Contact Hockey League was omitted. Council greatly appreciated the contribution of $500 which had been given by 'this group. .APPLIANCE REPAIR Large or small, we'll fix then' all...
