MPP. supports waste management resolution 'By James Friel BAYFIELD - Bayfield Council has receiv- ed a response from Huron -Middlesex MPP . Jack Riddell following the council's en- dorsement of a village of Zurich resolution. The resolution calls for the provincial government to fund the prohibitive costs, especially to small' municipalities, in establishing waste disposal sites. • "I am in full agreement with your position - that the small communities cannot fully shoulder the expense of locating and establishing waste disposal sites. There is a need for some sort of assistance from the government to conduct the proper studies and hold a proper public process, whether it be meditation, Ior a hearing under the En- vironmental Pitotection Act, to ensure that the site is safe," Mr. Riddell said. Mr. Riddell stated later in his letter tothe gia LACA wa By James Friel BAYFIELD - There was some confusion at Bayfield council's regular meeting Nov. 5 about the role of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) of Bayfield and its jurisdiction over buildings designated for conservation but not within the downtown conservation district. Councillor Reg Wilson acted as chairman due to Reeve Dave Johnston's absence. Road Superintendent Rick Penhale was also absent. A building permit request filed by The Little Inn to renovate the interior of the structure and construct additional washroom facilities also contains plans to build a small room on the top floor for use by a resident manager. This requires the council that he cannot agree with a 100 per cent funding of the costs of establishing a waste disposal site by the province. "While I am in complete agreement with the need for certain assistance from the government in establishing a landfill site, I would not agree to 100 per cent of the cost. The engineering studies and the en- vironmental assessments will benefit the community and therefore the community should share in the costs. However, when the Ministry requires tests which were not required , initially, such ' additional tests should be funded 100 per cent by the govern- ment.." The MPP concludes his letter stating that he agrees costs should not jeopardize a com- munity's fina,nces and that he would support "meditation and amendments. to processes for streamlining purposes." ........... ts input on changes installation of a dormer window which will change the roofline on the north side of the building. Two members of LACAC, Chairperson Gwen Pemberton and committee member Peg Willock said that as long as the building was designated as a conservation target, the committee should be informed of intended changes, including the subvmission of a drawing of the proposal for review. They said that although an outline of the plan was presented to council, a request from council for input from LACAC was not received by the committee. Clerk Pat Graham maintained that because the inn opted out of the district in order to be eligible for a corporate grant, and was not included when coudcil passed the bylaw designating the downtown area as an architectural conservation district, council is not required to submit proposals from the inn to the committee. He said that due to the inn's different designation, granted by the province rather than the municipality, council is the single body governing the business and the municipal body has authority over only the front wall. Council referred the matter to the clerk for investigation which resulted in his discovery that, although council is the final authority on the matter, LACAC should be informed of the matter to permit consideration. In other LACAC news, the committee requested notification by the municipality of any building permits and any change of ownership affecting the district. The.

Remembering the war years By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - This year Remembrance Day, November 11-, falls on a Sunday and in Bayfield the veterans will be assembling outside the Albion Hotel at 10:30 a.m. Together with the Scouts, Cubs and Brownies they will march to the United Church to take part in the service, and from there proceed to. the Cenotaph on Clan Gregor Square for a ceremony of remem- brance and wreath laying. Perhaps one'of`Lthe,unost important facts to remember at this'time is that the saluta- tion of those who died and those who served is also a reminder of the significance of their sacrifice. Protests and demonstrations, the emphasis on human rights so'much a part of contemporary society would not be possible in a world where these privileges had not been defended. It is impossible to separate the two aspects, and yet sometimes it seems that the freedoms accepted as part of to- day's life style were only achieved at great cost, and that those who actually paid the price in terms of personal service and suf- fering are appreciated less and less with the passing of time. It was not only young men who hastened to respond. Young women too, quickly of- fered' their services in canteens, factories, • hospitals and branches of the 'women's ser- vices. Mrs. Dorothy Hovey is a typical ex- ample, and was among the first 150 women in Canada to serve with the RCAF. After an initial six week training period -in administr- tion she spent the next three and one-half years in Toronto, Rockcliffe and Montreal. It was, she recalls, a great experience, and a challenge as the women demonstrated • what they could do and how well they could do it. . Whether it was in the office or the canteen it soon became obvious that the abilities of the women were appreciated and earned the respect of their commanding officer. In 1982 Mrs. Hovey attended a reunion and one of the English officers made a special trip to be present, while another. telephoned during the course of the dinner, examples of `remembrance' and the comradeship and loyalty which spanned the years. Miss Dora Warwick joined the CWAC in 1942 and served for over four years. Initially she was involved with medical supplies but during the last two years she was sent to England where she was transferred to the educational branch. Stationed in the heart of London' and working with university pro- fessors Dora found herself helping to set up courses and arrange attendance for Cana- dian service men, who far from home and with leave cancelled were provided with op- portunities to continue their education. Typically Dora makes no reference to air - raids but does recall a highlight when she stopped outside Westminster Abbey where a crowd had assembled. Just leaving was the car of someone important. It was in fact the Queen Mother (mother. of the present Queen). Noticing the Canadian badges on • Dora's uniform, the lady stopped and spoke to her! Recalling other aspects of her service life Dora mentions the friendships that were formed, and one in particular, with Miss Morrison, which remains to the present day. Mrs. Margaret Chapman joined the Women's Royal Navy Service in 1942. Following basic training in Galt she`'was transferred to Vancouver, then to Victoria and then overseas to Scotland. Her work was withmotor transport and took her to Greenoch where she remained until 1945: On call, day and night, she had to be readily available to transportofficers to and from the dock as the maintenance for ship's sup- plies was often of great urgency. Accommodation was in a large mansion, more . comfortable than .barracks, but of course, like everyone else, life was limited by rationing, shortages and long spells of duty. Margaret and George were married in Vancouver and subsequently were able . to spend VE day together on a trip to Ireland. When she was .finally discharged in Halifax, Margaret was a Petty Officer. These three Bayfield ladies, and there were so many others who did not hestitate to respond when the call came. They have their memories of those years and together with the women who worked as volunteers, knitted, worked in factories and on farms, they are entitled to tribute for their support. - and loyalty contributed to the future. i Penhales'Belgian beauties do well By Doris Hunter The Royal Winter Fair starts Nov. 8 and Bayfield's representative will be the Penhale family's Belgian horses which have brought so much distinction to their owners and to this village. Friends will be interested to hear of some of the Penhales' activities at this busy show time season. Tom and Rick Penhale entered their Belgian horses at the Michigan Great Lakes International Draft Horse Show held in Detroit on Oct. 19, 20, and 21st of October. Here they were up against the top com- petitors from the U.S.A. and Canada. They had reason to be very proud of their - achievements, placing sixth in the Unicorn Hitch, seventh in the Four Horse Hitch and eighth in the team of geldings. Tom came in eighth in the Men's Single Horse Cart Class. The Penhale's lady driver, Joan Lawton of St. Thomas, placed fifth in the Ladies Single Cart Class - Belgian. This was a very traumatic event as there was a runaway. The driver was hurt and another lady was hit and a few of the ladies pulled out of the class as a result. Joan re- mained in and did an excellent job• with Mike, one of the Penhales' prize posses- sions. Don and Doreen McNeil attended as well as Carol Penhale and Beth Farber. Saturday evening Tom and Carol Penhale went to the banquet in Tottenham of the mid -western Ontario Belgian Horse Association, bringing home the ribbons from' the Royal. Tom - we're all cheering for you here. Poor attendance at good party The Bayfield Receation Committee was a little disappointed by the attendance at their Hallowe'en Dance. What they lacked in numbers was made up for in the good time they all had. The generosity of the business people in town is well known to all our organizataions and the Recreation Committee is most grateful to the Bayfield Village Inn, The Lit- tle Inn, Albion Hotel, the Cheese Nook and the Nip and Tuck for their donation of ex- cellent prizes.
