(Alan Rivett photo) The new year By Helen Owen The old year shuffled across the floor Then went for a miument to stand at the door. As down the road with lightsome tread The little new year came on ahead. The hour glass emptied its waning sands Matte a clock ticked of with uplifted hands. Thi. uttering candle marking the year Silently dropped a waxen tear. Midnight chimed, the old year smiled As he greeted the new year - innocent child Vital and eager, and unaware Of the burdens of time he had yet to bear. He doused the candle of eighty-four Reversed the hour glass once more. The old year nodded and slipped away His term was finished - he'dtiad his day The burdens he's borne could now be shed, The future belonged to the year ahead! Clarkhill Feeders Ltd.

The building they are considering is the empty Turnbull Marine building on Highway 21. They have made an offer on the building but other details are not :available as yet, said Reeve Dave Johnston at their December 16 meeting. In other business, council received a letter from Rae Fraser stating he will pay the costs of repairing -a little used road allowance south of Bayfield after it was damllged through the harvesting of logs. Council, however, requested the letter be more specific so it can be used in court, if council has to proceed with charges in order to get the road repaired. The council members and Mr. Fraser wAre to meef with the village's solicitor on ecember 17 for further discussion on the matter. A payment of $1,559 has been received from Mr. Fraser for the cost of the 44 logs and the out-of-pocket expenses for the village to have the road allowance surveyed. Water Hook-up A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Ken Mackie of Bayfield requesting to tie-in to the municipal well sparked some debate in council. Council was concerned that 'allowing on more customers might jeopardize the future water supply. The well, located outside of the municipal building, already services 17 clients including the fire department. Before permission to use the well is given, ti council passed a motion to inquire if the Mackie's are willing to hire an engineer to prepare a study to determine the rapacity of the well and if the water hook-up can be done to the Mackie residence. Resolution • Bayfield Council received a letter from Huron County Council regarding a resolution they received from the Huron County Federation of Agriculture. County Council was not in agreement with the federation's resolution which,called for a moratorium on farm foreclosures in Huron County. The council, however, agreed there are many problems in agriculture and is sending letters to the prime minister, the federal and provincial ministers of agriculture, local MP and MPP's and the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, requesting steps be taken "to alleviate the problems." They're also requesting the municipalities in the county to write a letter to the minister of agriculture expressing their concerns. Bayfield Council also did not concur with the federations moratorium, stating that the federation doesn't have the juristiction to impose a moratorium. Instead, council passed a motion to send a letter to the prime minister and the federal minister of agriculture outlining the real problems agriculture is presently facing. Long Hill Road A letter was sent by Clerk Pat Graham to all residents living on the Long Hill Road. The letter stated barriers have been erected around the,eroded section of the road for the winter months. It went on to say council is unable to proceed with the repairs on the road until financial approval has been given by government ministries involved, with the project. The earliest date the constructio work can be started is June of 1986. . Councillor Reports In response to a few inquiries by citizens, Councillor Helen Owen asked if a bus shelter could be erected for people using the bus service to London. After debating the need for a bus shelter, council agreed the Ministry of Transportation and Communication's approval would be needed before the shelter could be given further consideration. Road Superintendent Rick Penhale asked council if the wages for laborers doing winter sanding could be increased from $4 an hour to $5 or $6 in order to attract more workers. Council, however, denied the request saying it would have to wait until next year when it can be included in budget discussions.
