Council looks at town hall use
by Helen Owen
Business moved swiftly at
the meeting of Bayfield
Village Council on Monday.
Mr. Harold Sibury and Mr.
Bill Johnson, on behalf of the
Bayfield River Cottage Col-
ony, made representation
with regard to a right of way,
established by common
usage, across the top part of
the property. Mr. Sibury ex-
plained that according to in-
formation obtained recently
it was understood that a pro-
posal was afoot which would
-=' ` e,a orni_. with- -an-old-road-
survey,
air`old--rail-survey, and which would
thereby deprive cottagers of
this privilege.
Reeve George Fellows ex-
plained that the matter
dated back several years.
Some litigation had
subsequently ensued. Ile
thanked Mr. Sibury for br-
inging the problem to the
council but advised consulta-
tion with the appropriate
department of the federal
government.
Bills presented for pay-
ment were approved with
the exception of an "un-
solicited account" received
from the ministry of hous-
1
ing. Since Council did not
feel justified in passing this
for payment without further
information, the Clerk was
requested to obtain details
from the ministry.
The Clerk was also asked
to investigate the advan-
tages of bulk purchase of
basic items used for the
cleaning and maintenance of
council property.
Councillor Johnson advis-
ed council that he had now
been contacted by five
organizations . ,intereed_ _in
the formation of a flown Hall
Committee. He was propos-
ing to call a meeting in the
near future, and stressed the
fact that any other in=
terested parties should con-
tact him as soon as possible
if they wished to• be
represented.
Regarding the use of the
municipal building, a recom-
mendation was made that all
organizations in Bayfield be
allowed to use the building,
with the understanding that
any group involved in a pro-
fit making activity would be
required to obtain Council's
approval of eligibility.
What's happening

Well done, girls!
La rnpoo
By Bud Sturgeon
I'm in lousy humour this week. The annual massacre
of baby harp seals is taking place on the east coast of
Canada and the event sickens me. Before 1 get too deep
into that mess I will relate what little humour I do have
for this week
"Rabbit" Larocque for Pahnateer. Picard was only
the middle man. Toronto never trades with Montreal.
That media -hype is bull roar! In 1960, Toronto traded
Al MacNeil to the /labs for Stanley Smrke. Everybody
remembers Smrke. He had three lifetime assists in the
NHL over two playing seasons. If you can't quite recall
that glorious trade, just think, in a few years you will
have forgotten about "Bunny" for Bobby.
There have been other equally astounding deals over
the years such as Doug Barkely for "Pie Face"
MacKenzie and Len Lunde. How about 1954 when
Toronto traded Leo Boivin to Boston for Joe Klukay or
1962 when they dealt Roger Cote, Bill White, Jim
Wilcox, Dick Mattiussi and Wally Boyer to Springfield
of the AHL for Kent Gemmell Douglas. It's all too
astounding for me to think about. Go Dave Hodge go!
+++
Now it's down to business.
It is a very sad state of affairs when the Government
of Canada can condone the brutal and vicious slaughter
of thousands of helpless harp seal pups. Although we
are geographically removed from the actual sight of
the massacre, the modern technology of TV brings this
outrage into our living rooms in livid colour every
night.
I watched in total disgust as these so called 'men'
marched onto the ice floe and bashed in the skulls of
the baby, seals with wooden mallots. Some of the baby
seals were still alive when they were skinned.
Ministry officials confiscated cameras, and films
from the bystanders because they didn't want anyone
taking photographs of 'their' circus of cruelty. I
wonder if they were too embarrassed at the display?
The 'hunters' really came across the screen as being
of a violent nature. One seal killer had to be physically
restrained from commiting an act of violence on a
Greenpeace representative. He swung his fists and
cursed and swore and the cameras recorded it all. I
guess it is only natural progression to graduate from
smashing in the brains of a seal pup with a club to try
the same on a human. At least that is the way one
`hunter' acted for the cameras. Others just resorted to
flattening tires on vehicles parked in the area. That
shows a lot of class, doesn't it?
These packs of migrating seals aren't even setting a
foot on Canadian soil so what gives the government the
right to licence men to go out on the ice floes and beat
the baby seals to death? How can anyone justify setting
a quota for killing on these helpless animals?
The women that buy the fur coats made from harp
seal pelts might as well be swinging the clubs them-
selves. It is too bad that at the time of purchase they
couldn't think of the baby seals 'crying out' as they
were bludgeoned and skinned alive. It sure paints a
nice picture.
I believe that the Greenpeace organization is doing a
fine job and if the Governrtient of Canada would stop
meddling in their affairs, these conservationists would
put an end to the slaughter. However, the Government
is to gutless and prefers to turn their backs on this
problem.
At the present rate of slaughter (the harp seals are
an endangered species) they will be extinct in a few
short years. This sure is great advertising for Canada
around the world. Trudeau and his Government are
sick, sick, sick people.
It was also agreed that in
future it would help if annual
applications were submitted
by organizations using the
building on a regular basis.
Council also decided that the
free use of the premises car-
ried responsibilities and
those involved should leave
the building clean and in
good order following
meetings.
On behalf of the committee
of adjustment, Brigadier
Morgan Smith notified coup -
increase m
crl of a pro
charges and minor ad-
justments will now be $50
and severance, $75. He also
advised them of the propos-
ed plans of the old Ormond
property and was able to
answer queries related to
this matter.
Councillor Gwen Pember-
ton was unable to stay until
the end of the meeting due to
another commitment. But
the .meeting was unique in
that it was able to conclude
its business in the record
time of two and a half hours!.

This season, the maple

provided excellent runoffs.
By the time the last trees

Will you join
the dance?
The last time I' talked to
Fred Squirrel he had curtail-
ed our conversation rather
abruptly in pursuit of a little
stranger. Standing outside to
enjoy a little promise of spr-
ing suggested by brilliant
sunshine and blue sky I was
suddenly aware of a little red
squirrel watching me
carefully from a branch just
above my head.
"Tovarich," he said softly,
"Pajalousta - I mean, how
you say? Please madame - I
would speak with you?" He
almost bowed.
"Of course," I replied,
frantically delving into my
pocket for a pen and the back
of an old envelope. "Please
do go on - tell me all about
yourself." His little eyes
twinkled and he moved a lit-
tle closer.
"I am Boris," he declared
with a fldurish of his tail,
"Boris of the Bolshoi," and
this time he bowed most
elegantly. My surprise com-
municated itself to him,
because he retreated a short
distance and performed a
most delightful and expert
pas de chat (or should one
say pas d'ecureuil? ). I ap-
plauded.
"Da," said my new little
friend. "Yoti are surprised -
niet? But to dance in the
trees, that is the ..."

were already full to
overflowing. Until the recent
cold snap, two trips a day to
collect the elixer were
necessary. This year's sap is
showing 'a relatively high
sugar content. Last Sunday,
the weather was quite balmy
and the runoff amounted to
over 800 gallons.
Heading the maple syrup
committee this season is
Steve Shanahan. Many help-
ing hands are appearing as
the collection gets into full
swing including the old pro,
John Lindsay, and Rick
Penhale. The sap is being
boiled down into syrup by
Doug and Fred Vanderhaar.
Schilbe's have loaned a 200
gallon collection tank and
Koma Boats repaired the
original plastic collection
tank for the group.
Providing the hauling
power so far have been the
trucks of the Bayfield
Building Centre, Walter Orr
and Rick Penne.,.
It is expected that with the
good runoff experienced to
date, that the amount . of
maple syrup made will ex-
ceed the earlier predictions.
