Restaurant gets go ahead
By Wendy Somerville
BAYFIELD — Council has approved, in
principle, the request made by 'Roger
Pemberton, for an encroachment agree-
ment for the installation of a patio.
The request made by Mr. Pemberton,
owner of The EAT Company restaurant,
was originally turned down by council
because the encroachment "appeared to ex-
tend 'out onto the road (Catherine Street)
allowance" and according to Councillor
Helen Owen, "this application did not ap-
pear to restore (the building)".
Mr. Pemberton attended council's June 18
meeting to appeal the decision. He showed
various photographs of what the Ritz Hotel,
the building that houses the restaurant, was
once like Apparently, at one time the hotel
Heexplained that he would prefer to build
apatio to the side of the building because it
would be "more aesthetically pleasing."
The owner said he would eventually like to
place red cobblestones and an old cedar
fence at the proposed patio area.
Cost for these restorations is estimated at
approximately $44,000, "to restore the
building to what the original Ritz Hotel once
was" said Mr. Pemberton.
He has plans to install an antique 'door, 120
years old, andbrestore some awnings to be.
placed on the front of the building. He added
that he will plant flowers and small trees to.
"enhance the design."
Reeve Dave Johnston said Mr. Pemberton
must follow a certain procedure. He said
had a patio directly m front so Mr. Pember- that before council can : approve the agree -
ton said, "a patio being put in place is in- ment, Mr. Pemberton will have to have
deed a restoration." LACAC's approval. „

shore, were people and more people.
Those wwlo collected the money for it,

enjoyed it ,so much. The lights from the
many boat on the lake, the new moon and
Mike Beatty with his plane flying overhead
plus a gorgeous sunset made a very
romantic scene. Bravo to all.
Next Year, perhaps the Ecumenical
Church service at the 'Pioneer Park could
ha_v ,all donominations to sing Oh. Canada
together. lowers that be please take note.
The United Church welcomed- The Rev.
Paul Murry and his wife back to parish life,
after vacationing in Scotland at what had to
be the biggest dinner party in town. No time
out for jetlag as the congregation working
together with phenomenal efficiency served
barbecued beef baked potatoes, salad and
delicious homemade pies and cakes to all
and sundry.
The arena was working overtime as the
Lions Club served a pancake brunch to well
over 400, hungry patrons. We all know the
good works the Lions spend their money on
in the community and that busy arena and
community centre must give all the Linins
and Lioness a great feeling of satisfaction;
tremendous undertaking, one splendi
achievement. The doubters will now be
boosters. -

Brigadier Fred Clift who shares our one
time Governor General Roland Michener's
love of tennis, came a nasty Ii ropper last
week when he slipped on the courts, twisting
a leg already damaged from wax- injuries.
He has a cast, the full length of his leg, but is
back at home, picking strawberries from his
model garden and enjoying as ever, the
visits of friends. The man who spear headed
the re -incorporation of the Vjllage of
Bayfield is undaunted still.
Dr. Grove Shepherd,'who chose to become
our beloved country Doctor, after a
distinguished career as a surgeon in
Windsor, is sporting a large bandage on his
cheek, after undergoing surgery in London
last week. He too is undismayed, and
appeared at the Bicentennial Cricket Match
in a most incredible checked suit. Surely a
relic of the gangster era in the border cities.
It is 17 years since the Ruth Hayman
awards were first made. Friends of this
dear lady banded together to establish this
scholarship for a Bayfield student
graduating from Grade 8 at Huron
Centennial School. Thisyear the recipient

Cluff is the winner this year and we all
