Filter Queen "IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN VARNA" 482-7103 Cou11 to go ahead with beach clears -up By Alan Rivett BAYFIELD - Council here said work could begin shortly to clean up the main beach pending an agreement with the ex- ecutive committee of the Pioneer Park Association, the current owners of the beach property. Councillor Jim Quick, at the council meeting on April 21, said he and councillors Cliff Freeman and Lloyd Huffman recently met with the association's president Dr. Jack Tillman to discuss the situation at the beach. Dr. Tillman explained to the councillors that the executive committee of the Pioneer Park Association would be involved in deeding the property to the village - a pro- cess which could take time, said Councillor Quick. In the interim, council was assured they can do with the property "as they see fit." Council expressed concern over the deterioration of the beach at the last meeting on April 7 due to the high water levels which is also doing heavy damage to the south pier. Council agreed to set up a meeting with the Pioneer Park Association to determine who would augment a clean-up program for the beach prior to the beginn- ing of the surnmer tourist season. "As far as the Pioneer Park Association is concerned, we can treat the beach as village property. As long as we're not building hot dog stands, I think we've got carte - blanche," said Councillor Quick. As soon as the agreement is reached with the executive, clean-up work will commence on the beach, said Reeve Dave Johnston. The matter will also be subject to planning meeting of council to discuss the method of cleaning up the beach. In other business, Mark Stevens, representing Brigadier Morgan Smith of Bayfield, attended the council meeting to ask council's permission to use Collena Street as an access to Mr. Smith's property for the purpose of erosion control work. Collena Street would be used as a drop-off point for a small bulldozer and a 40 ton crane which would be used to move concrete caissons to the beach area. He said the work would take one day. He also assured council the construction company would also offer to repair the road or embankment if any damage occurred.

THIS NOTICE FIRST PUBEILIOIED ON. THE 9TH DAY OF' APRIL 1986 Before considering the request, council asked Mr. Stevens td contact the village's engineer, Burns Ros4 and Associates from Goderich to prepare a.report at his expense. The report should contain the engineer's recgmmendation as to the work to be done. Council requested that Mr. Steven also file a letter of intent to repair any damages which might occur to village property to the satisfaction of the road superintendent. Col- lena Street would also be closed for the day to eliminate the possiblity of any liability claim against the village. "We don't see a problem with doing what you want to do as long as the cost for any damages aren't picked up by the taxpayers but by the construct pn company, said Reeve Johnston. Mr. Stevens said he will have . the necessary documents in place for council at their next meeting on May 5. Community Centre Meeting Jim Quick, chairman of the community centre and arena management, said the committee decided at their meeting on April 14 not to go ahead with plans for air condi- tioning in the arena this year. Budget restraints were cited as the reason for drop- ping the project this Year. He also reported the ice plant --has been shut down for the year and is currently be- ing service by the Diamond Refrigeration Company. The committee is also in the process of advertising in daily newpapers in Toronto and London, offering the arena for rent to urban clients over the summer months. Ac- cording to Mr. Quick, the facility could generate more revenue by renting it to en- treprenuers or groups from the cities for trade shows or flea markets. Council Briefs Council passed a request from Mr. and Mrs. Mclllwain at the Bayfield Garage to double the capacity of their propane tank at the garage. A letter was received from George Kruse of Bayfield asking to tie in with the village's drainage. Reeve Johnston said the village requires an agreement with Mr. Kruse before approval can be given by council. Council passed a resolution from the Bayfield Fire Chief to allow the setting off of fireworks during the Canada Day celebrations. Bayfield has been turned down on its ap- plication for an Ontario Neighborhood Im- provement Grant this year by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. The village was also denied a request for four summer student under the Experience '86 program run by Ministry of Municipal Affair's employment development branch. Council was also advised by the CANCOM cable company that they are seeking cable rights for Bayfield with the Canadian Radio and Television Commission. No other details were released. Clerk Pat Graham told council the company is also seekin similar cable rights in the Villages of Zuric and Hensall. "If they can bring in cable, so much the better," said Reeve Johnston. Councillor Quick reported he recently at- tended his first executive meeting of the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA) as a delegate from Bayfield. At the meeting, the procedure for ranking special projects was explained which stemmed from the misunderstandings on the ranking of the Long Hill Road project by former delegate Lloyd Huffman. Councillor Quick explained the Long Hill Road project was first on the ABCA's list of projects before it was sent to final approval to the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in Toronto. However, the MNR viewed the project differently and it was ranked behind erosion control projects at the Nairn Cemetery and-Lucan. "Our project didn't make the cut. But, what we couldn't understand is why the AB - CA didn't rate it as a number one priority. Because of all the people living on this road, it should have been at the top of the list," said Councillor Quick. In respect to the Long Hill Road project, Reeve Johnston said the details for the fun- ding of the project will be released to the public in approximately two weeks time. Road Superintendent Rick Penhale advis- ed council that the Long Hill Road will be• closed to traffic on May 3 as a crane will be liftingboats into the water. He also said he will be away from May 4 to 7 to attend road school in Guelph. Councillor Cliff Freeman reported that at least three-quarters of the streetlights in the village are out. The road superintendent was requested by council to make repairs on the lights.

Barbara Lawson and Doris Reddoch serv- ed delicious refreshments at the Garden Club's April meeting. Mr. John Schwendt, the speaker of the evening presented certificates and a gift to the winners in the contest arrang- ed by Huron Centennial principal John Siert- senia for paintings or arrangements ofHor- ticultural interest, at the Brucefield school - Tracy Geminhardt was first and Sharon Ann Francis, second for the Grades 7 and 8, with Mara Burton first and Michelle Vanstone se- cond in the junior grades. Mr. Schwendt, who is with the conservation services, of the Ausable Bayfield Authority, proved to be a most interesting and authoritative speaker. His topic of trees was of special interest to the garden club„ as the planting and maintenance of the village trees is one of the first projects initiated by the members. An amusing cartoon with a very potent message on the pollution of the waterways, was shown first and then a talk on the work of the agency was held. The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Ser- vices is responsible for managing our non- renewable resources, efforts to control flooding etc. The planting of 12,000 trees a year is an ex- ample, 50,000 white pine have been planted. This program is an effort to prevent erosion. He suggested, that when planting a tree, it is better to trim the roots to fit the hole prepared, work peat moss into the soil rather than using it as a mulch and grass should be eliminated aroatid ,yqung trees. It is a good idea to stake newly.planted. trees' ort the westside, from which prevailing winds do the most damage. Rev. George Youmatoff thanked Mr. Schyvendt for his excellent presentation. The next meeting of the club will be the spring auction of plants, a fun way to obtain unusual roots for your garden. New members are welcome.
