Noise bylaw tough to enforce By Wendy Somerville BAYFIELD - Sergeant John Donatis of the Goderich OPP says there's no real advantage to having a noise bylaw in the Bayfield. He met with Bayfield council members recently to discuss a complaint made by Mrs. Bigelow, regarding a noisy party at a nearby Bayfield residence. Sergeant Donatis told council he could only suggest that he go to the alleged party and explain the problem further. Reeve Dave Johnston asked what steps should be taken by the complainant when a call is maked to the OPP. "First call us, we're usually there within 10 to 15 minutes," Sergeant Donatis said. "Then we go to the complainant and then to the people causing the problem." He noted that 99 per cent of the time, the alleged party does not realize they are causing a problem. "In this case (Mrs. Bigelow's complaint) perhaps the resident didn't quite get the point we were trying to get across," Sergeant Donatis said. He stressed that the complainant must testify or a charge cannot be made. He said, "People as complainants have to take the initiative to complain." Sergeant Donatis also explained that the individual allegedly causing the disturbance cannot be convicted if he or she is on his own property. They can only be charged if they are disturbing the peace in a public place. "All we can do is suggest they stop the disturbance," he added. Reeve Johnston asked the clerk to' write letters to Mrs. Bigelow "and other complainants, regarding the improbability of enforcing a noise bylaw. Round the village... ® from page 10 gone by.

(Rod Hilts photo) Concert in the park By Helen Owen As part of their program of Pioneer Park entertainment, on July 14, Ray Sealey, classical guitarist, delighted an audience of some 120 people. Mr. Sealey ,set the tone by playing three Renaissance pieces including "Green Sleeves", music which blended with the quiet of the evening, the lowering sun, the sparkling lake and the background of green, leafy trees. Included in the first part of the program were four studies of Italian origin written in 1820, six movements from Spanish suites. which revealed the mixed rhythms, ex- amples of 18th century guitar music of the Baroque period and in keeping with the evening, the surroundings and the mood, romantic music of Spain. The second half of the program began with a piece written especially for the old guitar in 1732, followed by more romantic themes in the Spanish style: The next item, introduction, theme and variations from Mozart's Magic Flute,concluded the perfor- mance. George Fellow, thanked Mr. Sealey fora delightful evening of music. "We were," he said, "very fortunate in having Mr. Sealey • come to Bayfield and perform, and he hoped that he would do so on.some future occasion for to have an artiste of his calibre was in- deed a privilege." A correction It was incorrectly reported in last week's News -Record that Joseph Flynn was the first donor at the Bayfield Blood Donor Clinic held on July 9. In fact, the first donor was Hugh Flynn of Hullett Township. WHATEVER YOUR SUMMERTIME ACTIVITY ® TAKE ALONG THE GREAT TASTE OF FINGER LICKIN' GOOD I%ntuchy Fried Chicken 94 Elgin Aye.

Councillor is thankful for support Referring to Pioneer Park, he said, "It was an area of relaxation to be enjoyed by the general public. The Rummage Sale, held on Friday to implement the funds of the Association had been a great success and such endeavours were necessary in order to maintain the Park and prevent further ero- sion on the Lake side."

Park throughout the summer, and reminded those present that the annual meeting of the Pioneer Park. Association would take place during the Civic Holiday, weekend.

After convers- ing with Clinton postmaster, Keith Ahrens, Mrs. Pemberton discovered the Bayfield post office will be placing a fence around the building. The LACAC chairperson said if post office officials decide there is no room for the board, councillors should decide on another area. Reeve Johnston suggested the village in- stall another life preserver on the south pier. The preserver was stolen last year. The reeve suggested that a sign warning people that the preserver could save lives. be placed at the , site to dissuade any larceny.

By Helen Owen Following on the famous cricket match a couple of weeks ago I received ala unex- pected gift. It was a tea towel, but the message it bore conveyed information which I felt should be shared, especially as I know there are some still confused by that confusing game of cricket! "CRICKET - AS EXPLAINED TO A FOREIGN VISITOR - You have two sides one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that'sin goes out and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. • When they are all out the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When both sides have been in and out in- cluding the not outs THAT'S THE END OF THE GAME!" Bavfield Historical Society The next meeting : of the Bayfield Historical Society will be held on Monday, July 23. However this time it will take a rather dif- ferent form. Members will meet at 6 pnr at the front of Prof. Thompson's century house on Bayfield Terrace. Fromthere they will proceed down Main Street on a "walk- about". tour as far as Clan Gregor Square. En route they will have an opportunity to stop and listen to accounts of the history of various buildings. Much of the authentic material has' been compiled by Ethel Poth whose considerable researches have reveal- ed much about the village while present day property owners will also contribute to the stories. The trip is estimated to take about two hours and will finish up with refreshments at the Municipal Building. Visitors will be welcomed. • COUPON SAVINGS I dlla 41. 11. • VALUABLE.
