Hunking settlement made
By Shelley McPhee Haist
BAYFIELD - In 1981 Kathy Hunking, the
village -clerk treasurer, lost her job after a
six month probation period. •
In November 1986, village council has
agreed to make a financial settlement of
$2,582.66 to be paid to the former clerk. The
settlement is based on two weeks' salary
and costs of litigation. However, this does
not include the legal fees incurred by the
village.
At their November 17 meeting, council
members said they were surprised when
Miss Hunking recently raised issue over the
1981 incidence.
On a recommendation from the village
solicitor, council readily accepted a motion
to make settlement with Miss Hunking,
ahead of contesting the five-year-old issue in
the courts.
Reports in the News -Record from June 4,
1981 read that Miss Hunking was fired after
council held a closed doors meeting. A press
release from council stated, "The Bayfield
Council was requiredat their June meeting
to review probationary employees of the
village. It was decided that in the best in-
terest of the Village of Bayfield, Kathy
Hunking's services as clerk -treasurer
should be terminated and her salary con-
tinued to June 15th."
Then reeve George Fellows told the
newspaper reporter that Miss Hunking was
fired for "lack of discretion." He said that
the matter was of a confidential nature and
would only say that it dealt with personnel
issues.
Miss Hunking told London Free Press
reporters that she was totally unprepared
for the council decision. She said she was
never aware she was on probation, although
she understood that her $7,000 salary would
rise by $500 after the first six months on the
job.
At the time of her firing Miss Hunking
reported that she had been meeting with her
lawyers regarding the dismissal.

BAYFIELD - Undeterred by the weather
there was a good attendance at the Annual
General Meeting of the Bayfield
Agricultural Society held in the Municipal
Building on November 20. Some 27 members
arrived in time to share in a pot luck supper
with others arriving later to join in the
meeting.
Following the approval of the minutes the
treasurer reported a balance of $432.64
which indicated that the fair had been a suc-
cessful venture in spite of the rain that
morning.
Copies of the constitution were given to
each member, and the general membership
accepted it on the direction of the board by
whom it had been pa:<cd earlier.
Ina Fisher gave the report on the District
8 conference held in Dungannon on October
28 which had been attended by several
members from Bayfield. Following the elec-
tions Roy Pepper became District Director,
Sylvia Knechtel, Lady Director (homecraft)
and Gwen Coward Secretary Treasurer. No
information was forthcoming with regard to
insurance and it appeared that each society
would have to be responsible for its own.

With all the complaints about slow postal
service, Mary Chessell found it amusing
that she received a card on November 19
postmarked November 21 in ,Guelph. Ken
the local postmaster, guesses the numbers
were transposed on the stamping machine,
and it should have read November 12.
