Not only were they dealing with the agenda, but reporting on areas of responsi ility, and preparing informatiOn for bung purpases- the sultrfett of the propu' water pipeline study, which bad been brought to Council by the Reeve of Stanley Townstiip on January 5th, it was deckled that Reeve Fellows and Councillor Johnson would meet with the Reeve of Stanley Township and, provided that limitations were met regarding the cost and assessment of the project, the village of Bayfield would be preparedto take part. A review of public buildings for which the council were responsllble was being carried. out by Clr. Johnson. Two important factors, the cast . of main- tenance, and usage, m- dicated that these did no always complement each other. There had been enquiries regarding a more extensive use of the old Town Hall, which indicated that it might be developed on the lines of a cultural centre for village activities. It was, therefeare, -proposed, _that ..: a committee should be set up ts water pipeline to investigate this possil lity. Members of the public, especially local organizations, interested in the administration of such a project - and wring to become involved, were in- vited to contact Cir_ Johnson (5654'7.13, or 565-2994 There bad been a meeting of the Area Fire Board which had presented budget recommendations_ These inchided the purchase of a rad o opinil,ioniia aiilu9ri,_; system. Wines were - being sought and would be brought to Council in due course. Anther item the Council were asked to consider was the posslblity of the provision of a new Fire Hall at some time in the future, since the present facilities - were not entirely adequate. New fire preventative measures had been introduced on January 1st, and council would also be looking into the extent of their respanslbllities with 'regard to fire -fighting equipment, safety precautions, etc. The employment of part- time arttime labour, particularly during the summer months, when advantage could be taken of subsidized em- ployment schemes, would be investigated promptly in order that the maxunum benefit could be derived from such schemes. Council would also be looking for applicants to . undertake .al labour to. assist„ in maintenance programs, in Lampoonery ByBud Sturgeon I was looking through some. old newspaper clippings about Bayfield this week and dug up an old sports story from afew years back. Believe it or not, at one time there used to be a minor hockey program here in the vllage'when the parents had time to spend with their children. Anyways, I can remember being at the arena 19 years ago this week on a cold Friday night in February. It was to be a gala event and the crowd was wild. Jan Simons had her movie camera there with the spotlights ontaking pictures ofthe teams First on the evenings lineup was a game between the young and old or youth and age, or what -have -you. In goal for the squirts was their playing -coach Adam `Petunia' Flowers. Some of the players were Randy and Terry McClinchey, Robbie McVean, Randy Simons and Calvin Scotchmer. The squirts had just received new hockey sweaters and wore them proudly in a 4-2 win over the fathers. The article said some of the fathers had not been on skates in 25 years. Playing for the fathers that night wereBert Eckert, Alf Scet- chmer, Jack Sturgeon, Ken Brandon, Arnold Makins and the goalie was described as `Bouncing' Bev Mc- Clinchey. The scorers for the squirts were Terry with two goals and one each to Randy and Calvin. The referee was Jimmy Cameron and the linesmen were Rick Simons and Malcolm Clark. Game number two was the senior boys from Bayfield, pitted against the senior boys from Brucefield and Var- na. The Bayfield boys lost this one 4-2. Scoring for the visitors were Hans Leppington with two goals and one each to Peter Postill and Ricky LeBeau. For Bayfield the singles went to Allen Hohner and Phil Turner. The article continued as saying the boys practice every Wednesday and Friday night under the coaching guidance of Percy Renner and a rematch had been • scheduled. The third and final game of the evening was on skates but it was billed as a broomball game between the Bayfield Firemen and the Bayfield Lions Club. The Firemen were victorious by a 4-3 score. The firemed wore their helmets for the game -and Jackie Sturgeon - was. the goalie. He had to borrow skates for Gar Merner for the game. On the fire department team were Arnold Makins, Fred Weston, Cliff Utter, Les Elliott, Don Warner, Raymond Scotchmer, Robert Turner and Ken Brandon. The Lions Club team wore plaid hats with small um- brellas rising out of them. The goalie, decked out in a coonskin coat and straw hat was Fred Arkell. The other members of the team included Mac McFadden, Adam Flowers, Rick Simons, Elgin Porter, Wilbert Fralick, Alf Scotchmer, George Telford and Lloyd Scotchmer. The referees were Jimmy Boyce and Bob Orr. I can remember back then and it was some game. As a footnote to the article it was also noted where the girls were also organizing a team with Wilbert Fralick as the coach. Members of the team were Gayle Turner, Linda Gemeinhardt, Joyce Scott, Penny Howlett, Nancy Heard, Kathy Weston, Joan Mote, Anne McCurdy, Karen F itzsi mons and Norma Scanlon.
