By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - This year the village will be
celebrating heritage Day on Febraury 12.
e Local Architectural Conservation Ad-
vIpory Committe, (LACAC) invites .
everyone to come to the arena between 7
and 9 p.m. and enjoy an old fashioned sleigh
rid, and what could be better than having
Tgltxi Penhale with his fine Belgian horses
fop'the occasion. While awaiting your turn,
there will be music supplied by Rose Taman
andSteve Argyle, and on your return a little
sustenance- hot chocolate and doughnuts.
This is an event in which all ages can par-
ticipate, and it is hoped that as many as
passible will come out and share in a local
and typically wintry activity.
Heritage is not just the preservation of
buildings, although that has its part, but it is
also the fostering of traditions and an impor-
tant link between one generation and
another. In the early days in the village, a
sleigh ride was not a unique event - it was a
form of winter transport, and Tom
Penhale's wagons, so well known today for
their craftsmanship far beyond the boun-
daries of Bayfield, are in themselves a part
•of today's heritage which the future will
treasure.
Before the days of radio and TV, people
made their own entertainment, and here
again the evening will provide a typical
sample, with selections of songs and tunes
that will no doubt recall memories of
parents and grandparents, not to mention
moments of sadness, nostalgia and
romance.
The hot chocolate and doughnuts are also
symbols of the hospitality which pioneers of-
fered to travellers and visitors. The sleigh
ride then, the music and the hospitality all
represent part of the heritage of the com-
munity, and just as we inherit personal
characteristics, physical appearance and
family traits, as well as property and oc-
cupation in some instances, its good at least
once. a year, to celebrate these, things,
LACAC hopes that everyone will come along
and join in the fun, share the spirit of the oc-
casion and have a thoroughly enjoyable
evening.
An Abundance of Bunnies
It was reported this week that the Canada
Rabbit Council has been formed to en-
courage the breeding of rabbits of a high
standard suitable for consumption. Of
course, not everyone likes the idea of eating
rabbit meat, and yet a plump rabbit can pro-
vide an excellent meal. It can be baked,
made into a stew and served with dumplings
or as a pie with good crisp pastry.
Lowell Mount elected rec chairman
By Mary Chessell
VARNA - Lowell Mount was elected chair-
man and Jim Kirton, ice -chairman of
Stanley Township Recreation Commission
at their meeting on January 21. Sandra
Johnson is the secretary, Richard Erb and
Bill Dowson are council representatives.
Other members are Debra Rathwell, Ken
McCowan, Arnold Taylor and Wayne Keller.
Programs planned for the early part
the year are a nine -week series of ballroom
dancing instruction, a spring dance on April
26, and canoe races in April in connection
with the sesquicentennial.
United Church
Varna United Church's annual meeting
was held alter the service on January 26.
There were 18 present. Following the
reading of last year's minutes by recording
secretary Joyce Dowson, a decision was
made to send a copy of this year's minutes
\Mall members shortly before next year's
eeting, along with a notice of the meeting
date. Those present felt that many are
unaware of the amount of activity there is
during the year in the congregation.
The Session reported there were two wed-
dings, no funerals and one person
transferred to Varna. There are 31 children
enrolled in Sunday School.
The UCW reports showed a busy year,
with much accomplished and a healthy
balance in the treasury. Neaf.y $600 was for-
warded to Mission and Service (MS) from
envelope and loose offerings. MS givings
from the congregation were down con-
siderably from the previous year. Treasurer
Bernice Reid also gave the general financial
report. The year 1986 has started with a
balance of $650 less than 1985. Tie VIM fund
is still open for anyone who 'still wishes to
contribute.
Following a break for a potluck lunch,
Rev. W. Brown presided. The Manse Coln-
mittee planted trees near the lot line and in-
stalled a sump pump in the manse base-
ment. A new Stack control was installed on
the furnace.
The Ministry and Personnel Committee
reported the minister's salary for this year.
Rev. Brown announced that she is staying
until the end of June, as she is not covered
adequately with disability insurance while
on study leave. She will be available for a
new pastorate, but, still wishes to write
about faith and ministry in the rural church,
and would like input from local people to
help in her research.
About 90 percent of new ordinands have no
rural experience, but are sent to rural
charges, sometimes in remote areas with
little support or assistance with problems
The Every Family Plan for the Observer
will continue. Ivan McClymont will remain
for two more years as the charge's
Presbytery representative, with Elmer
Hayter of Goshen as the new alternate
representative. Joyce Dowson wa,s again
elected to be recording secretary. Joyce has
resigned from the Session after a term of
several years. Carol Simons is the new
elder.
Stewards for 1986 are Blaine Stephenson
and Bob Stirling, chairmafl adpsecretary,
and Doug McAsh, Tom Consitt, Don
Rathwell and Jim Kirton. New stewards will
be Bob Webster and (tentatively) Mark
Taylor.
Date of the barbecue is June 25. Janet
Webster and June Webster were again ap-
pointed to audit the books. "
Mildred McAsh has resigned as a regular
organist, but will help occasionally. Floyd
McAsh has agreed to play on a part-time
basis. Music student Julie Webster will be
approached to play occasionally. Treasurer
Bernice Reid and caretaker Mary Chessell
were each given a raise of $25. The
organist's salary was raised to $15 per Sun-
day.
The meeting radiated •'a feeling of good
fellowship and freedom of discussion.
Congratulations to Ron and Joyce Taylor
on the birth of another grandson, little
Taylor Hesselwood.

five starts, played another exceptional
game.
Minor Hockey
In the first of three road games for the Op-
timist Novice team, they fell short by a 2 - 0
score. This is another example of how the
kids have been improving, as they lost 6 - 0
the first time they played Hensall.
Scoring for Hensall were James Broci
from Neal Atchison, and Blair Moir
unassisted. The team sends best wishes and
a speedy recovery to team mate David
Scott, as he is in hospital recovering from a
broken leg.

The team is grateful to the Bayfield

$50, $150 and $260 respectively. Without the

have the practice time or the equipment
needed to play.
