(Shelley McPhee photo) Amendments for Bayfield land use by-law near completi'on By James Frier BAYFTELD Almost all the research re- quested to amend the village of Bayfield's old zoning bylaw has been completed and the bylaw should be finished in the fall, ac- cording to Gary Davidson, Huron County Planning Director: The report on the pro- gress made on the bylaw was presented at the August 20 council meeting at the village municipal building. "There are a lot' of small problems a mass amendment should clean up," said Mr. Davidson before outlining the latest research effort. A survey requesting opinions of the downtown provision, of services was sent to some 40 to 50 residents. About one third of thequestionnaires have been returned but the service foremost in the minds of those answering the survey so ,far has been the need for storm sewers. It was suggested this response was probably influenced by the heavy storm which recently lashed the village. Another service suggested was the in- stallation of sidewalks, although this did not have the same urgency as the sewers. Mr. Davidson also requested a meeting with council to set up a series of public meetings, each to be chaired by a different member of. council, to acquaint both seasonal and permanent residents and businesses with the concerns of the municipality. The meetings help to "bring people into awareness of what is necessary to run the village. It's not"as easy as people like to think, there are a lot of trade-offs," said Mr. Davison to council's agreement. The direc- tor also hopes to get input on a variety of topics concerning the village, including the downtown area and parkland on the river - front, to try to sum up an idea of the village. Reeve Dave Johnston pointed out some of the reasons for a revamped bylaw, stressing the ambiguity in the 15 year old document. "We're not lawyers and we're being asked about interpretation of the document." The Reeve said society, the concept of civil liberty and even the courts have chang- ,ed since the bylaw came into effect in 1969. "It'sdifficult and very frustrating for the village of Bayfield to enforce," said Reeve Johnston. The planning director replied the first generation of bylaws and officiatplans were not made to be specific because the creators were unsure of effect. This resulted in pro- blems for later councils. Once council . clarifies the direction it wants the bylaw to take, it is "fairly easy to put into the language," said Mr. Davidson. Double celebration held By Doris Hunter Recuperating from the Fair, the faithful at St. Andrew's United Church heard the Reverend "George Youmatoff as a guest minister while the Anglicans too enjoyed their visiting preacher in the person of Mrs. Mary Mills. There was a double birthday celebration at the Don Lance's home, when all their children and grandchildren gathered to have one gala weekend together and to wish Chris. and his daughter Gina, all the best for many more. The whole family was in costume for the parade and rode most com- fortably in one of Tom Penhale's wonderful wagons. The family includes, • with the parents, Lois and Don, Christopher and Rosemary with their children Gina, Chris and Audrey, from Royal Oak, Michigan, Bill and Ronnie from Boston with their three, Catharine, Heather and Sarah, Justin and Mary with Ryan and Emily, Royal Oak and Ladies' .Slo-pitch The Bluewater Ladies' S10 -Pitch playoffs are now in full stride.

' Mrs. Ford Little had a birthday too and it was that rare thing a completely surprise surprise party. Mr. Little Ford invited 15 guests for a supper at the Harbor Lights Motel andhad a very pleasant picnic ar- ranged for the big day. It was voted a very happy event and Mr. Little's prowess in organizing the affair without his wife having an inkling was much admired. Friends of George and Gladys Beardsall were. saddened this week to see the couple move to Collingwood. Doris MacDougall said it just right in a classic poem read at a party, held in the Beardsall's honor, at the home of David Johnston Sr. Friends wish the Beardsalls good luck and much hap- piness in their new environment. By' Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Its is an;ence to visit • the arena when the Faifae b� hg set up.

This year was no exception, over 60. workers enjoyed the excellent lunch, catered as usual by Mrs. Orville McLinchey and Mrs. Van Wonderan. The enormous pumpkin which Doreen McKenzie exhibited was the eye catcher on the vegetable table, but each of the entries be they beets or carrots, beans or cauliflower, rated the ohs and ahs of all. Beautiful quilts, lots of knitted articles, fires ed dolls, pottery nicely displayed with the types of glaze identified, wood workitng articles, unfortunately only a few, photographs, paintings, and everyone's favorite the floral arrangements, quite amazing at the end of a summer of drought and drenching rains, made the scene quite beautiful.

There were commercial displays and the United Church had its usual fine offering of homemade pies and coffee, while the Anglicnas had an offering of handiwork, the monies from which will be used for mis- sions. A new display this year was arranged by Don Keillor to acquaint everyone with the work of the Huron. Centre for Children and Youth in Clinton. The Bayfield Historical Society displayed an excellent collection of war time memorabilia. The parade is such fun, both for those who watch and the many who work hard to pro- duce the fanciful costumes that appear. The floats were particularly good this year, and two bands certainly gave us a very profes- sional air. Frank Burch, parade master with his effi- cient staff had everyone in proper order and ready to march on time, a real achievement with so many people, horse.s-afld children in- volved.

The real dignitaries, including our Reeve Dave Johnston, Agricultural Society Presi- dent, Geroge Wilson, Huron Warden Tom Cunningham, Stanley Reeve Paul Steckle, Goderich Township Reeve Grant Stirling, with Murray Cardiff, Federal member for Huron -Bruce led the parade riding in state, in open convertibles driven by Don Camp- bell and Howard Scotchmer. Wise men, when asked to "say a few words" on arrival at the Fair Grounds, they did just that and kept it to the requisite few words. The master of ceremonies, who made the announcements so distinctly was Don Beasely from Stratford. After the prize win- ners in the parade had received their awards, came the Special Events which were fun things to do. The children -enjoyed the present scramble, which turned out to be more popular candy and bubble gum, then there was log sawing, with the tsraditional cross cut saw, nail driving for *Omen con- testants and they were very 'barge sized nails, a rolling pin toss also for'yi?omen and then the men had a contest tote bags of sawdust in record time.

Also for a display depicting the many uses of peaches, the same exhibitors won in the same order. The winner of the two dinners at the Bayfield Village Inn was Eva Roorda and for preserves, two lunches also donated by the Bayfield Village Inn, the winner was Emily O'Reilly. Evans' Farm Market gave a relish tray for the best five jars of pickles display and Linda Neel-Voogel won this. Space does not permit the publication of all the categories, but for sure, everyone was a winner in this really super show, the 128th.Bayfield Fall Fair. Baptists hold annual picnic at St. Chrstopher's Beach By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - The Baptist Church held their annual picnic on Saturday at the St: Christopher's Beach in Goderich.

After grace was given by Pastor Holley, everyone sat at a table fairly groaning with the special preparation from everyone. Afterwards, many walked along the board- walk and watched the beauty of the sun and the lake. A great day. Sunday morning service at the Bayfield Baptist Church was led by .Pastor Ray Holley to a capacity crowd of members, adherents, summer residents and visitors. Jean Greer was in charge of the nursery which she does so well and so faithfully. Jean Walker played the organ and Muriel Snider, the piano. The Pastor continued the study of the Book of Exodus, drawing the attention of the laws that God handed down to Moses. It was nice to have most of the congrega- tion back from vacations and to have an ex- cellent attendance again. The people in the area are graciously invited to worship with the Baptist Church each Sunday morning or evening. on't abandon summer pets By Doris Hunter We are all known in Bayfield aslovers of "all creatures great and small" and at this time of 'Year, we are constantly amazed at the utter cruelty of people, who adopt an animal for the summer and then just pack up and leave, abandoning these pets who have come to rely on their owners. not only for food but for affection.
