Kplighthawks last week as they breezed over they, Brewers with a 10-5 score in no -contact hockey league ac- tion. The win leaves the Hawks even more dominant in the no -contact league with an impressive undefeated record. Two goals each by Greg Butler, Mike Clark and Bill Courtney rounded off the scoring for the Hawks. In the second game of the night, the Flyers skated to a close 2-1 victory over second place Varna to move into a third place tie. Gary Connol- ly scored the winning goal at 9:36 of the third period, but excellent goaltending by Derek Divok of the Flyers prevented Varna from breaking the game wide open in the first and second period. In the last game of the evening, the Misfits finally showed a little of their poten- tial as they bombed the Lakers 9-3. Duncan Mac- Pherson led the scoring for the Misfits with two goals and two assists. Next -Week, the Misfits play the Flyers at 7 p.m., the Village council holds final meeting Village council held their last meeting of the year on Dec. 21 with all members present. At the meeting, which lasted a little longer than expected, council dealt with several matters, some of which included street lighting, overdue taxes, and the rec. committee. Following the reading of the minutes, Reeve Fellows reported that no report had been sent back to the Bayfield Cottage Colony regarding their issue because no report had been received from Small Crafts and Harbours. Council .waa.also informed by Frank McFadden that a meeting had been set up with the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority on Jan. 11 at 8 p.m. to discuss going ahead with the Bayfield River project. Council received a letter from M1. Godbolt concern- ing his request at the last meeting to temporarily close a road in his subdivision and the road will remain open. Bud Robinson's request to fell some trees to gain access for a well drilling rig was denied by council because they felt another access could be found. Council also discussed cer- tain violations of subdivision agreements concerning two subdivisions in the village and it was recommended to discuss the matter with legal counsel first and possibly set up a meeting in the new year with the owners to discuss the issue. Moving on to cor- respondence, a letter was received from the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority concerning Mr. McFadden's appointment to the A.B.C.A. for another term. A motion was put forth for his appointment and car- ried. A letter was also received from the C.N.I.B. asking for 'a $300 grant. Council decided to defer the letter to a local service club. Another letter was . received from the Ministry of Culture and Recreation confirming that The Jewish New Year The Jewish New Year is in ' August, but as the 1st of .January is regarded by Jews as a civil rather than a religious holiday they ob- serve it with the rest of the population. `5( PIONEER BILL STEENSTRA 482-3145 �Y ur Pioneer Seed C,A rn Dealer council's application for a . grant from the ministry had been accepted. A letter from Ontario Hydro concerning the new rates for street light opera- tion beginning Jan. 1, 1982 was also discussed. The in- formation was needed in preparing the village's budget for 1982. In a further discussion Reeve Fellows requested a light by light review to be conducted by councillor' Wilson, who was also instructed to investigate the possibility of installing high pressure sodium street lights and provide statistics concerning the initial=cost of replacing existing lights: Upon receiving the infor- mation from Ontario Hydro, council would then discuss the matter further. Village clerk Pat Graham was also instructed to investigate if any government grants would be available. • Two letters were read to council from the Bayfield Ratepayers Association. In the first, • the Association recognized and fully en- dorsed the L.A.C.A.C. com- mittee and in the second, recommended a , bylaw en- forcer. The latter was taken under advisement. In a letter of resolution from the Township of Gland - brook, for the council to peti- tion the government on high interest rates, council decid- ed to support the resolution following a debate. Council also supported a letter of resolution from the Township of Rochester to support a petition to the On- tario government to make a concerted effort to continue grants too shore land owners for erosion control. A new bylaw was passed. by council allowing the village to borrow a specified amount of money on unpaid taxes, necessary to complete the 1981 budget. Clerk Pat Graham reported that fire insurance coverage on village property had been reviewed with the insurance agent and the village is generally well covered. Councillor Chapman, reporting from the Rec. Committee, annotnced that the new executive had been appointed which included Lloyd Huffman, chairman, Matty Francis, treasurer, Allun Thomas, secretary. Council also approved the new executive and councillor Chapman stated that the committee requests `No Snowmobile' signs for the fair grounds. No decision was reached. Councillor Chapman also reported that Matty Francis requested another person to hold the key for the town hall. Council gave permis- sion for the committee to come up with another person to take on the responsibility. Following a debate over the Rec. Committee's petty cash fund, Reeve Fellows sug- gested the ceiling on the fund be lowered at the next meeting. Councillor Chapman sug- gested that competitive rates on fuel oil for village buildings be investigated.

Department has had only one major fire call since Labor Day weekend and one call for tanker assistance as compared to 13 fire calls dur- ing the same period last year. Other fire departments in the area and abroad have not been so lucky and are ex- periencing a substantial rise in the number of fire calls at this time of year, one only has to follow the daily news to realize the fact. Fire Chief Don Warner cannot attribute Bayfield's decline to any specific reason, but warns that a ma- jority of fires in other areas are being blamed on inferior metal chimneys as opposed to brick. Hopefully, the trend will continue but people are still urged to inspect their chimneys regularly if they are b wood. There are plenty of good tobogganing hills in the Bayfield area, and with the excellent snow cover, conditions were perfect late last week on the Rainbow Valley Road. Here a group of children smile for the camera. (George Chapman photo) Canada Postes lir Post Canada • NewPostai Rates start Jan1st, 1982.
