By Helen Owen There has been some com- ment that the report on the meetings of the village coun- cil do not appear until a week after the meeting. The reason is a very simple one in that the newspaper now has its deadline on Mondays instead of Tuesdays, and of course, it is not possible to report what has not yet oc- curred! All members of the council were present at the meeting on Nov. 16th, and following the reading and approval of the minutes of the last meeting, council proceeded to deal with the agenda. It was confirmed that at the present time the Lions organization had no firm plans for replacement of trees sin the village, and in any event, although it was considered important that replacement was essential in preserving the character of the environment, any fur- ther action would have to be deferred until the spring. Details of the MTC Act were now available and council were in the course of preparing the required by- law related to road signs. With regard to the com- plaints received in connec- tion with the hazards of Long Hill, council had carefully, deliberated the suggestions which had been made and also taken advice from the MTC. , Their conclusions were based on the latter since any alternatives would not conform with the regula- tions as laid down. Those who had been particularly concerned would be notified by the council accordingly. Following on the statements made at the last meeting of the council, some imisunderstandings had arisen .with the interpreta- tion of the directions of the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority regar- ding dumping in the No. 1 gulley. Clarification had been requested and would be reported on at the next meeting. The work on the windows at the back of the Municipal Building had been completed satisfactorily, and users of the building also seemed to be conforming very well with the requirements to keep the interior of the premises in good order. The matter of the drains which had been the subject of a complaint to council by Mr. Simons at a previous meeting, had now been in- vestigated. As a result coun- cil agreed on the provision of an additional culvert into which the complainant could tap in, and it was hoped, thereby alleviate some of the problems which he had been experiencing. Moving on to cor- respondence received, Clerk -Treasurer Pat Graham read a letter from the solicitor representing the Bayfield River Cottage Col- ony with regard to the new road. However, it was the opinion of council that this matter was the responsibili- ty of the Federal Small Har- bours and Crafts Section of the Ministry, and should therefore, be referred to them. Other correspondence related to the findings of the investigation related to the increase iri Bell Telephone charges; a notice from the Ministry of Municipal Af- fairs relative to changes in the Act concerned with con- flict ofinterests, and infor- mation regarding the licens- ing of businesses. A request for lighting im- provements had been receiv- ed at the last meeting of council, and discussing this and others of a similar nature, council were con- fronted with a serious pro- blem in that the existing lighting system was presen- ting difficulties. Recent failures had revealed that spare parts and fittings for the type of in- stallation used in some parts of the village were now unob- tainable as being obsolete. Overall replacement was the obviousanswer, but this en- tailed n tailed expenditure on avast scale. It was decided that con- sideration should be given to a long-term plan for conver- sion to newer and more effi- cient methods. This proposal would be discussed with Hydro as soon as possible and reported on when the re- quired information was available. As stated at the meeting with Hayden Gozzard of the Bayfield Yacht Club, council had obtained copies of sam- ple agreements with similar groups. These were now be- ing studied with a view to devising a mutually agreeable document being prepared. The Reeve announced that the auditors would shortly be providing the council with an audit covering the financial situation to date. This would "be particularly useful in assisting them in the preparation of their budget for 1982. Considerable concern was expressed with regard to the pilfering of supplies of firewood in the vicinity of the Old Town Hall. It was therefore proposed that it would be advisable to offer this for sale by tender. Reporting on her atten- dance at the Heritage Association of Municipalities Conference at •Cambridge, Councillor Pemberton told council of a Guide Book for Municipalities. This she said contained information on procedures under the Heritage Act in which the village would be mainly con- cerned. There was no report from the Recreation Committee, although council were advis- ed that Mr. Talbot, the Chairman, had signified that he would not be in atten- dance at future meetings. With refer to the village survey, the Reeve ex- plained that this matter had become somewhat com- plicated since •following the initial work, additional detail had been required by the Ministry. Consequently the costs had increased, although the Ministry were prepared to make contribu- tions to these additional charges. As a result a special by- law was required. This was read by the clerk -treasurer, but council felt that it did not fully meet with all con- tingencies and the content should be spelled out more specifically. The chatter was referred for attention at the next meeting. The clerk -treasurer in- formed council that a by-law was also required in connec- tion with the Lottery Licens- ing Act. This was presented and approved, the clerk - Two to page 11 • Donations help Ag Society make ends meet The Bayfield Agricultural Society held its annual meeting on Thursday, November 18th, in the Municipal Building. There was a good attendance and over 30 people sat down to enjoy an excellent potluck supper prior tb the business xneetbhiis In hopening remarks, President Ted Dann thanked the members of the board for the wonderful job they had done in putting on the August Fair for 1'1 ; 1. Although there were rumours that interest in such events was on the decline, this had proved to be far from correct, and this year ' there was ample evidence to prove that the fair was very Much alive and kicking!' The parade had been particularly good and the quality of the entries bet- ter than ever. During the reading of the reports, it was stressed that the generosity of those who had donated funds had made the difference between mak- ing ends meet - or being in the 'red', and the board was most grateful for the finan- cial support which had enabled them to maintain their endeavours. Contribu- tions had included monetary assistance from the Ladies' Section. The special plaque, which was awarded for the first time at the District 8 meeting in October, was on display, with Bayfleld's name as the first Reviewing the fair, two important facts in connec- tion with the organization were presented to the members: one, the need to have the gates properly staf- fed tatfed to prevent people gaining admittance without pay- ment, and two, the desirability of getting the fairground fenced all round the outside. It was also pointed out that an increase in membership would help to improve the financial status of the Society. Assessing future plans, the members were urged to con- sider the changing needs in the community, and to endeavour to adapt their programs accordingly. These would be areas which the new Board of Directors would be looking at with par- ticular reference to the in- clusion of younger members and junior groups' involve- ment in the fair. The date for the l: tr, Fair would be the week before the Labour Day weekend August 27th and 28th - which announcement gave ample time for participants to start planning their exhibits! The nominating commit,- tee ommittee then presented the slate for 1! i e as follows: Barry Cleave, Brig. F. Clift, Ted Dunn, Frank McFadden, Everett McIlwaln, John Mayhew, Mrs. J. Merner, Ed O ddleifson, Mrs. T. Penhale, Tom Penhale, Robert Stirl- ing and G. Wilson. The ap- pointment of the individual officers would be made. at the first meeting of the new Board. The executive for the Ladies' Section is: presi- dent, Mrs. T. Penhale; vice- president, Mrs. G. Wilson; combined secretary - treasurer, Mrs. A. Schilbe and Mrs. J. Reder. On behalf of the Bayfield Garden Club, Jack Willock, president, offered the co- operation of the club in con- nection with the fair and in- vited suggestions as to how this offer might be im-' plemented. This generous of- fer was warmly accepted Around and about the village Lions' dance If you're making up your diary for the New Year don't forget tomake a note that the Bayfield Lions are holding a New Year's Dance.
