EAT Co. emphasizes
Bayfield's summer fame
By Rod Hilts
In the heart of Bayfield lies
a restaurant that is a little
out of the ordinary. The
location, the casual at-
mosphere and the
reasonable prices offered at
the EAT Co. emphasizes the
easy going summer life that
the village offers.
When• entering the. EAT
Co. guests are greeted by
red and white parasols above
open sunny windows. The
atmosphere is complimented
by light jazz and blues music
that plays in the backround.
Roger Pemberton, 22, the
ambitious owner of the
restaurant, said the EAT Co.
features a casual at-
mosphere that is appealing
to everyone.
Roger, a native of Toronto,
took over the establishment
in the second week of May.
He has strived to maintain
the same lunch menu as the
previous owners and has
kept the previous chefs of the
Eat Co. on staff. A dinner
menu has been added and
Roger is expecting to receive
his wine and beer license
soon.
Roger's background as a
waiter, a bar tender and a
sous chef in British
Columbia, gives him the
experience needed to
operate a restaurant suc-
cessfully. He also spent a few
years out west working on oil
rigs and skiing near Lake
Louise. At one time in his
life, Roger competed m
downhill racing and spent
some time as a ski in-
structor. He also worked in
Toronto, where he was the
manager of a paint and
renovating company.
After working in such a
variety . of occupations. why
did Roger Pemberton choose
the restaurant business?
"I've always been in-
terested in the food business.
I was just at the right place
at the right time. It's a good
business because everybody
likes to eat," Roger said.
Roger came to Bayfield
first as a tourist a number of
years ago, to visit his
grandmother, a resident m
the village for the past 15
years.
"I didn't realize how
beautiful Bayfield was when
I was younger. I was here
every summer up until six
years ago. When my gran-
dmother mentioned that
there might be a restaurant
available, I thought I'd
check it out," Roger ex-
plained.
According to Roger, the
response from the general
public has been good. The
menu and atmosphere of-
fered at the EAT Co. appears
to be catching on.
The dinner menu ranges
from pasta dishes to a fresh
Sunset splendor
in Pioneer Park
The Pioneer Park Associa-
tion is also an organization of
public spirited citizens, the
beautiful sunsets a joy for all
to see and now the excellent
program, which Mr. Bud
Robinson here presents
should provide added
pleasure to ourselves and
our visitors.
The sunsets from the
Canadian shore of Lake
Huron are considered among
the most spectacular in the
world, and Pioneer Park in
Bayfield is considered by
many, the best place from
which to view them. It is also
a great place for sailboat
watching and star -gazing.
The purpose of Pioneer
Park Association remains
the same as when it was
adopted in 1947. To promote
the health and enjoyment of
the people of the Village of
Bayfield and vicinity,
through owning, preserving,
improving and managing a
park open to the public
without charge and to under-
take other projects for the
welfare of the community.
To continue the purpose of
Pioneer Park, the 36th An-
nual Rummage Sale has to
supply the needed funds to
make this possible.
Your contributions on I''ri-
day morning July 8 at the
Hayfield Arena, will txa ap-
preciated. Articles which
cannot be stored at your
home until the morning of
the sale please call Bud
Robinson, 565-2946.
fish of the day. The Eat Co.
strives to take advantage of
the fresh produce in the
area.
The Eat Co. will be of-
fering a variety of cheese
and fruit trays after 10 p.m.
every night. Hot appetizers,
wine and assorted desserts
will also be offered. Roger
hopes to be introducing a
variety of board games such
as Trival Pursuit and
Backgammon to entertain
his customers and encourage
socializing.
An added feature to the
EAT Co. menu this summer
will be Oriental foods. In
July and August, Duncan
Millar, a close friend of
Roger's, will be preparing a
variety of Oriental dishes.
Mr. Millar has spent the last
two years in Japan, teaching
the Japanese executives
from Honda, how to speak
English.
A sideline to the EAT Co.
business is catering. Roger
says the EAT Co. caters to
parties and small groups,
such as boaters. They also
make birthday cakes and
fruit baskets and a variety of
baked goods.
In the front of the
restaurant is a Gourmet
Food Shop. The shop carries
20 varieties of cheese, a
number of soups and im-
ported snack foods.
Imported jams, teas,
cashews and chocolates are
also available.
Roger says he plans to
attend a chef's school
sometime in the future. His
motto, "no one ever knows
too much" is reflective of his
business attitude.
Roger concluded that his
restaurant is "com-
plementing the other fine
eating establishments in
Bayfield."

Sundays nearest 1st of July,
August and September. Hur-
rah for the Lions.
Fire Department
Another group, many of
them Lions serve on the
Bayfield fire department.
When the alarm sounds
everyone holds their breath,
what disaster has occurred?
This week the Bayfield Fire
Department Emergency
unit reponded to a call from
the Dollery family. Five-
year-old Jamie had decided
to explore and was truly lost.
The firemen and the will-
ing helpers soon on hand
found the small boy in the
woods in Miss Hession's sub-
division. Too frightened to
answer the calls of the
rescue team, he was safely
back home in 20 minutes,
and hurrah for the Fire
Department too.
Bayfield House
Designated
The LACAC, translated
means the Local Architec-
tural Conservancy Associa-
tion is also feeling happy
that the Bayfield House,
originally owned by Mr.
Fowlie, the village
blacksmith, has been admit-
ted to the designated
buildings in our Heritage
district.
We salute Mary Rochon
not only for the tasteful way
the property has been
developed, but her wisdom
in joining the Heritage band-
wagon.
Thomas Carlyle described
history as the "essence of in-
numerable biographies" and
surely these houses are
speaking proofs of our
Village History.
Round About
Nice to have Monica
Geminhardt with a friend
visiting her mother Kay
Benne and her husband Per-
cy this week. Monica lives in
Ottawa now.
Colonel Dave Battye is at
his village home on Blair St.
presently. Dave is stationed
in North Bay.
His wife Helen and he now
own the house, built in 1918
after a fire destroyed the
original home of Robert
Samuel Blair in 1918. They
were at an auction sale of
Tudor Marks' effects, when
word came of the loss of
their home. Probably today
the Bayfield Fire Depart-
ment could have saved it,
but the well and bucket
brigade were all the help
that could be mustered.
The present house built on
the original foundation is in-
teresting with its hip roof,
not common in this area.
The original farm encom-
passed 40 acres, surrounding
the property as well as other
holdings in town. It is from
this family the name for
Blair Street originates, and
of course Mrs. Bob Blair,
Jessie lives across the road
from the Battye home with
her daughter Brenda, a
nurse at MacMaster Medical
Centre in Hamilton. Helen
Battye is also a daughter as
is Ethel of Toronto.
Virginians refer to their
early families as F.F.V.,
first families of Virginia,
forget the Indians, but in
Bayfield we just know, what
fine families they were and
are. Some of the connections
include the Westons, the
Brandons and Jessie's fami-
ly the Lindseys. We do not
wish to forget the Indians,
we're proud to know the old
Lindsey farm was once an
Indian encampment. Many
artifacts have been found
there and preserved by the
family.
We're sorry to note that
Mrs Lilian Penhale is a pa-
tient in the Alexandra
Marine and General
Hospital in Goderich and
Mrs. Walter Westlake at
Clinton as well as her son-in-
law Mr. Merton Merner. The
community wishes them a
speedy recovery.
The United Church Junior
Choir will meet for a
baseball game at Clan
Gregor Square, Saturday,
June 18, at 7 p.m. A wiener
roast at the home of Harry
and Wendy Hessel will in-
sure a good time for all.
The Anglican and United
Churches are sponsoring
films and a talk by June
Taylor on Monday, June 20
at 7:30 p.m. in St. Andrews
Church. All adults are in-
vited to attend this meeting.
The program is presented by
the Huron County Family
Crisis Centre. A panel
discussion will follow the
films, Battered Women and
Shifting Gears. Violence
behind closed doors is the
theme for the evening. Dona-
tions of food stuffs etc. for
the centre are needed. Ad-
mission restricted to persons
over sixteen.
The Presbyterian Church
is indeed open for the season.
Services commenced May 24
weekend and will continue
until Thanksgiving, every
',Sunday at 11 a.m. The
church is fortunate to have
as their leader this year,
another Theology student
from Knox College, Toronto,
Mr. Terry Hastings and his
good wife Lorraine. They are
staying at one of the Arm-
strong farms on the Bronson
line and can be easily reach-
ed by calling the William
Armstrong family.
While we rejoice at the
success of our organizations
this year we should feel very
depressed at the lack in
Bayfield for the Red Cross.
Mrs. Fingland of Clinton,
cannot understand why this
village which normally has
given $500 to this vital cause
has nothing for them this
year.
Canadians know the Red
Cross best through the war
time services and peace
time blood donor programs.
Having personally earned
their gold pin in this division,
I know that the donation of
blood . is of primary impor-
tance, the cost of collecting
this blood is in no way
covered by volunteers.
Anyone wishing to donate
may receive a receipt from
me, Doris Hunter.
Garden Walk coming
Flora was the Roman God-
dess of blossoming plants,
her temple was built in 238
BC dedicated the 28th of
April, and the Floralia was
celebrated annually until the
Puritans, abolished the May
day celebrations (the British
Floralia) in 1644.
The Bayfield Garden Club
finds the weather more com-
patible in June, for our
Floralia so the Garden Walk
is slated for June 25.
Tickets are now available
and the club is once more in-
debted to Miss Doris Mor-
rison, whose fine hand-
writing has spelled out direc-
tions on these cards for
several years. If you're
wondering who she is; the
name she is affectionately
known by in Bayfield is Mor-
rie who makes her home
with another hard working
member of the club Dora
Warwick.
The Garden Club has
planted the triangle on the
square once more, all the
work is done by members
and we saw the President
Herb Beatty with his wife
Catharine on their knees
planting the annuals for this
year.
It is Dorothy Hovey who
organized the work parties
at the Mara Street wild
flower sanctuary. Her im-
agination and driving force,
her workers can attest to
this, are what has created
this interesting and lovely
corner of our village. Hurrah
for the Garden Club!
Mill rate held to 8%
Helen Owen appointed to council
By Helen Owen
Having been away for
several weeks it was
necessary to update myself
on the meetings of the
village council.
The following, therefore, is
a summary of the pro-
ceedings, and also my final
contribution as an observer.
During the past four years,
which have included three
administrations, I have
noted, listened and never
spoken. Now that the oppor-
tunity has arisen for me to
take a more active part it
would obviously not be ap-
propriate for me to continue
in my erstwhile role.
At the meeting on June 6
Clerk Pat Graham read a
letter from Councillor Lloyd
Huffman in which he
tendered his resignation due
to health reasons. This was
accepted with regret and a
declaration of a vacancy on
the Council was declared in
accordance with the terms of
the Municipal Act.
In accepting the resigna-
tion the Reeve, on behalf of
Council, requested that a let-
ter should be sent to the
retiring Councillor express-
ing appreciation of the ser-
vices which he had rendered
to the community, not only
as a Councillor but also
through the contributions he
had made as a member of
the Lions' Club and the
Recreation Committee.
Mill rate set
Two bylaws were given
three readings and carried.
The first covered the village
estimates and mill rates for
In +I N. These showed an in-
crease of approximately
eight percent over 1 Its , due
to increases beyond the con-
trol of local administration,
particularly education coats
which fell heavily on a small
municipality.
The second bylaw was an
amendment to the District
Heritage Bylaw so that it
would now include the
Rochon property.
Matters arising from the
minutes of the last meetings
included a request from
Harvey Godbolt for the
release of a lot, and this was
passed on to the
municipality's solicitors. A
formal complaint from
Wilfred Heard was likewise
passed to Mr. Van Weiren,
Bylaw Enforcement Officer,
for appropriate action. With
regard to the Gemeinhardt
claim and the docking of a
barge, Clerk Graham
reported that Mr. Ge-
meinhardt had now disposed
of the interest in the proper-
ty and that the barge had
been sold and would be
removed from the river.
Referring to the Boun-
daries Act, the clerk
reported that a letter had
been sent to all those having
matters to discuss in connec-
tion with the Road Survey. A
meeting with Drew An-
nabelle would be taking
place on June 13 after which
unresolved problems would
be dealt with at a meeting on
August 4.
Arrangements had been
made for the opening of the
public washrooms on
weekends from 10 a.m. to 8
p.m., and the garbage con-
tainer was now in place. Ob-
jections had been raised in
this connection but both
from the point of view of
members of the public who
enjoyed the amenities of
Clan Gregor Square, and for
practical purposes in curtail-
ing and collecting litter, no
other alternative appeared
to be viable.
Tree preservation
In a letter Mr. and Mrs. R.
Dicks expressed concern
over a complaint arising
from treatment of trees on
village property, for which
over past years they have
accepted the financial
responsibility. Council ex-
pressed appreciation of the
public spirited action which
had resulted in the preserva-
tion of the trees and agreed
to investigate the matter in
order to find a solution.
In defence of property
owners in the vicinity of the
fairground, Dr. Bruce wrote
to council suggesting a
hedge in the ball diamond
area. It was agreed that
council would maintain its
surveillance although the
grounds in question belonged
to the Agricultural Society.
Council had received
notification of L.C.B.O. ap-
proval for the E.A.T.
Restaurant.
Councillor Morley under-
took to continue to deal with
recommendations in connec-
tion with emergency situa-
tions, and Councillor Wilson
was pursuing information
with regard to assistance
with lighting for parking
areas.

Knighthawkes ace
Dashwood Gamblers
The Bayfield Knighthawks
ran their regular season
record to 5 - 0 in the South
Huron Slo-Pitch League,
with an 11 - 4 victory over the
Dashwood Gamblers on June
8.
The tight defensive battle
was played before a good
crowd at Agriculture Park in
Bayfield. The victory was a
gratifying one for the
Knighthawks, as they played
the game with one less
player than the normal 10
players allowed in Slo-Pitch.
The Hawks grabbed single
runs in the first and third
innings and the score
remained 2 - 0 until the fifth
inning when they rallied for
four runs.
In their half of the sixth
inning, the Gamblers made
it close again by scoring four
runs as they began hitting
some of the gaps in the
outfield, due to the
Knighthawks being short-
handed.
The Hawks then added
their remaining runs over
the balance of the game
while their defense dug in
and shut down the Gamblers'
attack completely.
Knighthawks shortstop
Greg Butler put in an
especially strong per-
formance on this night,
turning many sparkling
defensive plays while also
stroking the game's only
homerun.
The Hawks will try and
stretch their record to 6 - 0
when they meet the Bayview
Bluebombers on June 16 at
Agriculture Park. Game
time is7:00 p.m.
