A LETTER FROM DORIS
On snow and quilting
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Despite the snowdrop which
courageously bloomed by the house this
week, the days of Sniffs, and Slips and
Slithers, are still to be expected. Drivers
tend to use the centre lane on snowy roads,
but the lady who stopped her car for a
friendly - chat with two pedestrians, little
knew how close they all came to disaster,
with a car coming behind her. The same day
two friendly farmers, parked their trucks
across the road from each other to exchange
the time of day. This elderly driver did not
enjoy her skid into the ditch, having to brake
suddenly. An absolute no, no, Frank Burch
has warned me, from his years of driving
through northern Ontario.
The new man in town is Larry Hawkins.
He hails from 'I'hedford, where he has lived
most of his life. Locating here as the new
manager of our L.C.B.O. branch, he has
been fortunate enough to find an apartment
for the winter, until his wife and two teenag-
ed children can move to Bayfield.
He says he is a quiet man, likes a game of
euchre and the odd round of golf. The good
folks at St. Andrew's will be glad to welcome
hint as another 'member of the United
Church.
Seventeen and a half years, working with
the Liquor Board, surely means we will
have another excellent manager at our
friendly neighbourhood Liquor Store.
February is a very popular time to be
born it seems. Abraham Lincoln arrived on
the scene on February 12 all those years
ago.
Sherrill Tomlinson was surprised on her
natal day February 4. Husband Bill enter-
tained their family with a dinner party at a
restaurant in Goderich. He managed to
have representatives from four generations
with them.
Arnold Makrns is another February child.
His birthday being so close to the 30th wed-
ding anniversary of Ruth and Arnold, their
family had a joint celebration with a
delicious dinner at the Village Inn, followed
by an evening together at the parent's home
on Main Street It wouldn't be a party
without a decorated cake and ice cream to
end a memorable evening.
The Sunday school of St. Andrew's
Church is to have a Fun Day. February 15
families and friends are invited to bring
their toboggans out to "Porter's" at 2 P.M.
Sue Beard is the one to call if you would like
a ride. The number is 565-5237.
Dorothy and ('lair Merner will certainly
enjoy the visit of St. Andrew's choir, when
they travel to Central Park bodge in Lon-
don, to sing for the residents. The Merners
are said to be enjoying their stay in London,
but we miss these long time members of our
community.
Parents should put a "must attend" sign
on their calendars for MArch 7th. There is to
be a Television Awareness Workshop at
Bayfield's Trinity Anglican Church. The
session will commence at 9:30 a.m. and you
should bring a brown bag lunch. Persons in-
volved in the production of these programs
tell me, that there is more to be aware of
than the constant repetition of violent
scenes and explicit sex. Watch the tension
created by the commercial messages, so
much crammed into a few seconds of expen-
sive time. Both St. James and Trinity
Anglican Churches are sponsoring this
event. Stress is purported to be the cause of
many of our modern ailments and unsuper-
vised television is a contributing factor.
A long time summer resident of our town,
has died in Detroit this week, Ed Poncracz,
who with his wife and children enjoyed the
summer home they bought from the Jowett
estate many years ago, was living at Whit-
tier Towers at the time of his :death.. A
staunch Rotarian, he attended the Goderich
Club faithfully while in residence here.
Something not to be overlooked is the very
professionally dressed window of the Ar-
chives Room. Marg Chapman a no fuss kind
of lady, just quietly has introduced many
worth while activities to those smart enough
to join in. The latest is a chance to learn the
ancient art of quilting, which came from
('hina my books tell me.
Marg writes, "There are several techni-
ques used today. Piecework, or Patchwork,
Applique, '.erninole patchwork and Reverse
Applique. The adaptation of these techni-
ques provides .iteresting ideas for home
decorations, and garment making."
The Recreation Committee is offering a
five week quilting course, beginning
February 18, 9:30 to 11:30 A.M. in the
Bayfield Municipal Building. The class will
he limited so that each person may receive
adequate individual attention.
Gall 565-2967 to register. This information
is also in that fine display in the Archives
Windows.
Much discussion goes on about what is art
and what's a craft. Curiously sewing seems
to he exempt from this discussion. Sewing is
supposed to have begun when Adam and
Eve stitched those fig leaves together after
that fatal taste of the apple. Believe it or not
pundits are questioning whether, they in-
deed sewed the leaves together or were they
woven!
One trusts our new quilters will not at-
tempt paper quilts. The Dictionary of
Neddlecraft published in 1882 suggests these
would be excellent for charitable purposes.
The method is to sew four inch squares of
fabric together to form a bag which you
should fill with shreds of scrap paper. Then
sew the bags together to form a pattern.
They do suggest an attempt to arrange a
pleasant colour scheme would be nice - even
if they were for the worthy poor.
Ah, the good old days, when Lady Boun-
tiful dispensed her gifts. Learn to quilt, the
Bayfield Agricultural Fair will be here
before you know it-

Council hods
lengthy
discussion
on building
permit
By David Emslie
BAYFIELD - A lengthy discussion occur-
red at the council meeting here on February
2 on the subject of a Long Hill Road building
permit.
The subject arose when Dr. Bill Walker,
represented by Ian Wallace, attended the
meeting to find out whether a building per-
mit could be issued for his property.
The long standing issue began in 1983
when the firm of Pirie, May and Associates
requested a permit in the name of the late
Andy Turnbull, the previous property
owner. At that time, the case went to trial,
and a judge ordered the permit issued once
certain criteria were met.
Mr. Wallace noted they were at the
meeting to find out exactly what issues were
outstanding in stopping council from giving
out the permit.
"My understanding was the decision was
reached before the fault happened," Reeve
Dave Johnston stated. He questioned
whether they thought the judge's decision
still stood from before the time that the land
in question encountered erosion problems.
Reeve Johnston added that the matter
should be settled like any other permit, with
permission coming from the Huron County
Health Unit, the Ausable Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority (ABCA) and from engineers.
Mr. Wallace asked, "You're saying my
client should reapply? You're requesting a
new permit?"
"A new permit in the name of Mr.
Walker," Reeve Johnston replied. "I don't
see the problem Mr. Wallace, you're mak-
ing a mountain out of a molehill."
Councillor Cliff Freeman asked why they
didn't just apply for a new permit, and Mr.
Wallace explained that he didn't want to
submit his client to another trial.
Reeve Johnston again pointed out that if
they had the proper reports and permission
from the authorities the permit would be
processed like any other. "We've told you
verbally and by letter that the village would
not stand in your way if you have the proper
permits. I don't see where the problem is."
Councillor Freeman added, "I don't see
why you don't make it simple and bring
everything up to date."
When asked whether he had gone to the
ABCA, Mr. Walker explained that the pro-
blem lies in the fact that he doesn't feel he
should have to contact the authorities as he
has a court order.
"I feel quit, frankly that once I go,
judge's permThsion; I should be able
build," Mr. Walker said.
"You get things in place and we'll process
it just like we would any other application,"
Reeve Johnston said. "We're not trying to
stop Bill Walker from building, all we're
- asking is that he provide us with the infor-
mation we must have to give the building
permit."
Garden Club
In other business, George Chapman was
present at the meeting as a representative
of the Bayfield Garden Club to discuss the
possibility of putting up signs at the top and
bottom of Mara Street that would prohibit
vehicles from using the path.
He explained that a few accidents had oc-
curred because of vehicles travelling the
path.
Council agreed that the road should be
signed, and possibly fenced. Reeve Johnston
assured Mr. Chapman that the road
superintendent would be in touch with him
to take care of the matter.
Recreation news
With the reading of the minutes of the
January 26 meeting of the Bayfield Recrea-
tion Committee meeting it was disclosed
that the committee cannot be licensed to
hold a Monte Carlo Night.
A letter was received from the Ministry of
Commercial and Consumer Affairs advising
the committee that because they are not a
charitable organization, the license cannot
be issued.
Heritage Week
Councillor Helen Owen told council that
Bayfield's Local Architectural Conservancy
Advisory Committee (LACAC) is planning
many activities for heritage celebrations to
be held on Saturday, February 21.
In support of LACAC's efforts, council
moved to declare February_15-21 Heritage
Week.
