( Gary Haist photo ) More more news from Bayfield By Wendy Somerville Bayfield Council has decided to follow 4p' the problem of inadequate drainage in the village using the reconcunendations of the village's engineering consultant, Burns Ross. Mr. Ross met with council on May 22 to discuss solutions to Bayfield's water problem. He said that before council agrees with a study, the village must apply for approval from the Ministry of Environment according to the Ontario Water Resources Act. "If you don't, the whole thing (study) can be totally illegal," he stressed. He said the application must be signed by an engineer who, "sets various standards." Mr. Ross said Bayfield requires five year storm drains. This means, the drains can handle one major storm, at hurricane level, once every five years. He added• that the drains the village now has are incapable of handling the amount of rain the village receives. "The village wants a standard developed," explained the engineer.. "In Bayfield we would deem it necessary to have a five year storm plan." He said Bayfield has a largely vacant area that requires such drains. Reeve Dave Johnston asked the consultant if the new drains would lower the water table. Mr. Ross said the level would definitely decrease. The reeve also asked if a length of time could be determined to prepare a study so council could understand what and where thevillage needs, the drains. "The village is essentially starting from scratch so a time could definitely be determined," said Mr. Ross. "I think we're looking at about six months." Reeve Johnston asked Mr. Ross to follow up the necessary recommendations.

Clerk Pat Graham asked if there should be a notice of a public meeting. Reeve Johnston said once council members are aware off the cost estimates for the repairs and alternatives, they will hold a public meeting.

Document signed Council signed a document to cover the cost of hiring the Tapestry Singers to perform for the bicentennial. "We are signing this document so that if the money (for the performance) is not raised council will take care of the contract," explained Reeve Johnston. Councillor Helen Owen, organizer of the village's bicentennial celebrations, said the contract is for $2,700 and there is already $1,500 in the bicentennial funds. As well, donations are still being made, she said. Councillor Owen said the Tapestry Singers' program includes three events including one. for children. The councillor stressed she was certain the money could be raised from performance tickets which range from $5 to $7.

A call for cricket players Who's for cricket? The Bayfield Bounders- are oundersare calling on volunteers or "Press Gang- ed" members to sign up for the upcoming cricket match to be held in honor of On- tario's Bicentennial. For those who are unfamiliar with the term "Press Ganged", apparently it comes from a method of scouting volunteers that began in Elizabethan times in England. Shipmen would form a gang and go into a small town or village to recruit men. They would find some likely candidates, fill them up with liquor and march them to an awaiting ship. The men would wake in the morning and find they had become crewmen overnight. A preliminary meeting will be held for the Bayfield Bounders, on Saturday, June 2 at 11 a.m. at Clovelly, the Youmatoff residence, on Louisa Street.
