The Alan Qalbrafth pati had thieves m their cottage here. Many items of sentimental as well as intrinsic value were taken. Locked doors proved no obstacle to the culprits. Folks here are seldom surprised at the visitors who appear, we're against thieves and rabbits, squirrels and skunks are no novelty in our gardens, but Miss Kay Reid was certainly startled to see a deer in her garden last week. A sign of winter's return no doubt, even my giant Christmas cactus is budded out again this week. Mrs. Elva Metcalfe also has returned and is much more welcome than the wintry blasts. She has been on a 15 clay tour to Hawaii: The Reverend Douglas and Mrs. Pitts too are back in our midst after a very _— pleasant sojourn. in _the warm climate of Arizona. They had blizzards as a send off and another to welcome them back. Weather notwithstanding old timers claim the 17th of March is the only proper time to plant your sweet peas. Councillor Reg. Wilson and Mrs. Jessie Blair have heauties every year. -The village takes a most proprietary in- terest in the fabulous wagons, which Tom Penhale creates.

Mr. Strachan asked Reeve Dave Johnston if he had the authority to alter a budget. Reeve Johnston asked Mr. Strachan if he were referring to the marina budget and Mr. Strachan said yes. Once again the Reeve asked Mr. Strachan if he were accus- ing him of altering the budget, and once again Mr. Strachan said yes. Reeve Johnston said he gave all council members a copy of the proposals he made, the proposals former councillor Ray Morley made as a member of the harbor and marina committee and any proposals any made other committees had .__ a.._ .• "I presented them to you in a confidential xray- for your ''consideration : and - conl- _:-- --::3- �-€idenc "-: tresseathe reeve. - -..—. In his earlier letter to council, Mr. Strachan mentioned that Councillor Lloyd Huffman asked a question in council regar- ding the property of Mrs. Addee McPhee. "Mr. Huffman asked a question on Mrs. McPhee's building (and received) no answer," he wrote. "If CouticillorHuffman asked -a question and didn't get an answer, I assume he would ask why he didn't get an answer," said Reeve Johnston. "You seem to have a hangup about this house," S'ou wouldn't listen to what the lawyer Siad (about the property), you don't segni to listen to anyone," he said. - Mrt Strad continued, "you sold you wouldn't want to pay the tames Bayfield pays." "You're full of hot air," said the reeve. Mr. Strachan then reminded_the Reeve of his oppinion regarding the paving of River ' Roadun Goderich Township. "I can't tell you why we paved the road," commented Reeve Johnston. "We plow (however) • because we own it, we plow because residents live on it and we plow it because buses must travel on it. "Now do you propose we annex that?" he said. "Well we own the road, so how can you annex something you own? Reeve Johnston said, "You say you've -done your homework, • but I •whether. you:hav .7L .-.

Perhaps among the performers there is a potential Olympic Medal winner of the future. Plans are also in hand for an Atoms hockey tournament following the skating carnival, and although the players may be on the small side as yet perhaps a young Wayne Gretzky yet to be discovered, is already making his mark on the ice. Taking part is one thing, but having an audience is just as important so don't forget 1p.m. at the Arena: A door prize will be donated by the Bayfield Building Centre and the Pathfinders will serve free refreshments prepared by the Lioness Club.

Ideas and Sources For Bicentennial By !fermi -" - While Bayfield'goes ahead with its own plans for Bicentennial, a project which has been adopted with such enthusiasm, it is in- teresting to learn that the full extent of the celebrations in the province extends to a variety of subjects and a recent newsletter issued by the Area Co-ordinator outlines these and provides answers to the 'how? where?' questions that organizers- dividuals might be asking themselve For example, for philatelists, Canada Post Corporation is issuing a series of special stamps, the first of which will be available on March 15. At the University of Guelph a new soybean variety has been developed and named Bicentennial. Two publications covering agricultural and rural history include Life on the Farm 200 years of history and a way of life which may have been forgotten. This is available free of charge from the Ministry of Agriculture and' Food, Queen's Park, M7A 1A5. _ The _Cook Not Mad - or. Rational Cooking, described as a fun stocking stuffer, is availablefrom the same source at $4.95 per copy. Another interesting suggestion is to celebrate the Bicentennial with a flower bed incorporating the design of the symbol. Fur- ther information on this may be obtained from Norm Duncan, Superintendent of Parks, Victoria Hall,: P.O. Box 806, 55 King Street West, CobburgK9A 4S3.

Reeve Johnston asked who attended the meeting. Ed Strachan said Clerk Pat Graham did. The Reeve reminded Mr. Strachan that, "the clerk asked if he could leave and he did. He got up and left the time for his salary room when came negotiations," he -added _ The Reeve then read his report which was a break down of the tax dollar, where it goes and what the taxpayer gets. He wrote that in 1983 the Village of Bayfield was required to raise $344,000 in taxes to support three areas of the tax structure. For the village portion for municipal use, $120,000 had to be raised. The Huron County portion was $40,000 and $10,000 was returned in subsidies. The Huron County Education system received $185,000. The Reeve said, the above figues were rounded off to the nearest thousand. From these figures, the Reeve said, "It is easy to break down the tax dollar." Of every tax dollar used by the village towards the municipal programs within the village, 38 cents was spent. For programs used by Huron County, 10 cents was spent. For every tax dollar, 52 cents went to the Board of Education. He said that the 10 cents we spend goes for programs like Childre's Aid, Social Ser vices, Hospital Ansi rice, Huronview, Huron Country Playho a and the Blyth Centre for the Arts. He added that these are some, not all, o.f the areas of responsiblity of Huron County.• Apparently 38 cents is used for village ad- ministration on a full time basis, fire pro- tection on a full time basis, garbage collec- tion at property lines every week, clean at- tractive. andwellkept parks and more.:. .- "It is not an attempt to focus attention on • one or another area of taxation however, it is merely an attempt to explain some of the benefits, and to cause thole persons who are constantly complaining; what do I get for my tax dollar to ask themselves instead why I am fortunate, to live in an attractive village on the shores of . one of the , finest bodies of fresh water anywhere in the world," the reeve concluded. woo ,Noa1 00 te`ss••. t0 1.
