The teenage boys who Were on the ram
page in our area recently � have been caught
by,the.P0Ace.
A Or was stolen by thein from John Chap -
MOO'S property. 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. The 14th has just gone by
transport to an Alberta rancher. This man
will have plenty of parking space as his
holdings include 27,000 acres! The 15th
wagon is in the works, its destination, Il-
linois U.S.A.
Season of Lent
March brings us not only St. Patricks Day
and Ides, but Lent, to which 40 days we
should all give much thought. The Reverend
Gordon Reynolds offers this message.
For us in these closing days of the 10th
century, the 40 days before Easter known as
Lent, allow time. Time in which we may

Father Reynolds will be conducting a
Lenten study series, choosing for his topic
the sermon on the Mount, found in the gospel
according to St. Matthew. The opening of
the series will be held on March 20, the first
day of spring, at the rectory. The time 2
p.m. and anyone interested, regardless of
your church affiliation or indeed if you have
none is most cordially invited to attend.

After submitting a letter explaining
"there are some questions I would ,like to
ask council" former Councillor Ed
Strachan, attended Bayfield Council Mon-
day night to addresls them on matters that
concerned him and were mentioned in his
letter.
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.

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

"If CouticillorHuffman asked -a question

to come out and see these little Canadians
demonstrating their prowess on the ice. Who
knows? 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.
Trinity ACW Meeting
The inclement weather last week resulted
in the meeting of the Anglican Church
Women being cancelled. However, it has
been decided to go ahead and meet on
March 8. The meeting will be at the same
time, 2 p.m. at the Rectory.
Bayfield Garden Club
The next meeting of the Garden Club will
be held on March 12 at 8 p.m. in the
Municipal Building.
A composite program has been devised to
which members of the club will make in-
dividual contributions with illustrative
slides. All welcome.
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.

salary meeting. 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.
