Home My WebLink AboutClinton News Record, 1981-05-28, Page 11BAYFIELD by Bud Sturgeon. and Helen Owen • Maiu street news..... • from page 10 The Koks had been coming to Bayfield to visit friends here every summer and after hearing the store was for sale they made an offer. Their house in Toronto was only on the market a week before it sold and the bargain was sealed. Arlene says, "Everything just fell together." The stock in the Country Store covers a lot of areas and purchases can be made for as little as 29 cents for an English candy to $200 for a silk dress. The store features many crafts such as hand - blown glass, ceramics and pottery. The majority of the goods are Canadian -made. Later this year they will have antiques upstairs. Arlene believes that, "It is always lucky to have a new cat in a new home", and that is how a little brown ball of fur named Morgan came to be a big attraction in the store. Morgan is the new kit-. ten and it has taken up residence in a wicker basket in the store much to the delight of the customers. She says that she could have sold Morgan a hundred times already but he is here to stay. Across the street and down to the west a new place of business called Eats and Treats of Bayfield has open- ed up in the Walnut Inn (formerly the New Ritz Hotel). The owners of Eats and Treats are Margaret McLean, Audrey Marriott and Clare Soper. Margaret and Audrey had thought of the idea of opening a store such as this last summer, but much of their time was taken up with getting the "Wardrobe" operating. As the name implies, it is a gourmet's delight - inside with cheeses, candies, teas and coffees and home-made desserts and much more. Claire is the chef and her specialty is[clie: - Over the winter, the girls had pooled their ideas on special foods and Eats and Treats became a reality several weeks ago. They are now serving light lunches in the tea room and will be ex- panding their menu later in the summer. There is take- out food available now and picnic lunches (right down to the cutlery) will be offered, soon. They are open seven days a week and the hours 'will be expanded in the sum- mer. Behind Graham's Store is a new antique shop that goes under•the name `Westwind'. Proprietors of this new business are Connie and Nora West. As well as the an- tiques their line of goods in- cludes collectables, . wools (a new line of wool from Australia and New Zealand), calico comforters, dishes and handmade, linens. They feature original watercolour paintings by Elaine bowler most of which are on local subjects such as the historic buildings in the village and the;fishboats and shanties. Connie says, "Maybe we're crazy" but we got a hold of the barn last fall and we just love to sell old things. Jokingly she continues by saying,. "Maybe we can preserve Bayfield by being in a barn." This all translates into a life-long in- terest in antiques and a knowledge of the same which is evidenced in the store. More than their smil- ing faces attract people to the Westwind. Back out on Main Street and just east of the General Store, Pat VanBiesbroek has located her new venture call- ed `Alternatives'. This store, which features made-to- order t -shirts and a full line of sportswear, takes over the former quarters of. Uncle John's Cabin. (Uncle John has now moved inside the General store and is called Uncle John's Corner.) If you are into sports and fitness or ' only want something com- fortable to wear this sum- mer, it would pay you to visit `Alternatives'. To the best of my knowledge these are all the new businesses on Main Street for 1981 and I hope I didn't overlook anyone. Although I haven't had much time to go shopping or to sample the food, I'll get to it by and by. In the meantime, we wish all the merchants a happy and prosperous sum- mer. Village taxes. • from page 10 which represents 22 percent of all revenues to be col- lected by the village in 1981. The final category in the budget is planning and development where little of consequence 'took place. Where $26,439 was budgeted for the Village Survey last year, nothing is budgeted in 1981. •••• That in a nutshell is the Bayfield Budget for 1981. Council passed it on Friday night at a short meeting with th' Reeve and three coun- cillors in favor and one coun- cillor abstaining. The tax bills will arrive all too soon for many of us and we're all going to have to dig a little deeper into our pockets. It'has been decreed.
