This is a question frequently posed by those un- familiar with the village and the regular ac- tivities of year round residents. The answers are many, and varied because one thing is tertian, there is a great deal going on and in a small community some kind of involvement is inevitable. One has only to read through the local news to find ample evidence of this. During the summer months all sorts of events appear on the calendar such as the fall fair, pancake breakfasts, beef barbecues, ball games, the firework display, bingo, the rummage sale, concerts 1 BAYFIELD Three bedroom house for rent near Main Street.

These happenings don't just occur over- night. More often than not no sooner are they over and assessed than plans are put in, hand for the following year anis program worked out for adjustments, volunteer help, bookings and funding. Such initiatives make a heavy demand on those involved in the implementation of these projects, and again and again willing helpers devote their time and energy towards the fulfilment of the various objec- tives. Much of the credit for the ongoing traditional summer program must go to those who unfailingly work behind the scenes to bring them to fruition. Nor do the residents of Bayfield hibernate during the winter months. For some, once the ice goes in, the arena is a hive of activity with hockey games and skating. Each age group is involved in activities from the pre- schoolers through Brownies and Cubs, 4-H to bridge and euchre clubs, crafts,, as well meetings of church groups, service clubs,, seniors, garden and historical enthusiasts. It is amazing when one begins to consider the number of interests, which are catered for and supported. The generous participa- tion in the setting up of all these projects is another important factor, and whether it is a bus trip or a hockey tournament, an auc- tion or a bake sale, it doesn't just happen on its own. In the fall the various groups are already considering the election of officers for 1987. Nomination committees are being set up and lists of names perused. Although many loyal supporters carry on in office year after year there are times when they would be on- ly too pleased to step down so there is plenty of scope for newcomers to get involved, to introduce new blood, new ideas and en- thusiasms, and of course, its and excellent way to get to know everyone - and a challenge. And then, if someone says, ... "but what do you do in the winter months?" ask if they have half an hour to spare while you tell them. ...with the New SUPER TOMAHAWK Chipper/Shredder, U HURON TRACTOR EXETER 235-1115 eLYTH 593.4244 BlueCross Introduces Diane Willett Group Representative Blue Cross is pleased to introduce Diane Willett as a Blue Cross representative in your community.

Council here accepted the tender from the Strathroy tender at its September 15 meeting. The tender was the lowest of two studied by council. The other was from H and D Con- tractors of Bayfield with a $53,720 price tag. In assessing the tender prices, village engineer Burns Ross told council, "Area Constuction is well known to us. We have no reason not to accept the lowest bid." He noted that it would mean turning down the bid from the local company, but he ad- vised, "The ministry will not pay the sub- sidy on the difference if the, local price was taken." The completion date for the project has been set for December 19, 1986. The work will see the re -construction of the two lakebank storm sewers, replacing the old ones which have fallen' into the lake. The cost for each sewer is $22,330. The construction work must be done from the lake using barges and Mr. Ross told council, "This job, without the lake, would go for half the money if they didn't have to work off barges." LACAC Appointment Made Council approved a LACAC recommenda- tion to name Judith Walker to the advisory committee. She has previously been involv- ed in LACAC work in London. In further LACAC business, council reported that the Ontario Fire Marshal's Of- fice will not conduct a fire safety inspection of the old town hall. The building was closed in 1984 by the local fire department because it did not meet fire safety regulations. Since then LACAC has been working to resolve these problem areas and develop a renovation scheme for the facility. In reply to a letter from the municipality, the fire marshal's office said it is not active- ly involved in work with building inspec- tions. It was suggested that the municipality solicit help from building and fire officials in other municipalities. The future of the old town hall has been 4 -ext weal ESTATE JEWELLERY SHOWCASE '86 ANSTETT Sale Days: October 1 to October 11 in Goderich J EWELL.ERS View a magnificent presentation of outstanding Estate Jewellery pieces - a show and sale of many one -of -a - kind designs from decades past.
