Bayfield Sag
Lake levels will remain High
By Shelley McPhee Haist
BAYFIELD - There's no good news regar-
ding the high water levels on the Great
Lakes, reported Reeve Dave Johnston to
village council on March 16.
The Bayfield reeve attended a high water
seminar in Windsor recently and learned
that while Lake Huron's record high waters
have dropped slightly, the rates are ex-
pected to rise to within two to four inches of
last year's numbers.
Lake Huron is running some 30 inches
above the normal water rates: Reeve
Johnston said that if all manmade obstruc-
tions and changes to the waterways were
removed, the lake would only be lowered
some six inches. Contrary to popular belief,
man is not primarily responsible for the
high water levels, it is act of nature, the
reeve said.
Some discussion has focussed on diverting
the high Great Lake waters through the
United States. The southwest section.of the
States has a low water supply and an in-
crease could bring new industry and jobs to
the dry area. Reeve Johnston noted that
diverting waters is not a simple solution
because it would cost millions of dollars. he
said, "You can't sell water because you
can't turn it off. You can't regulate it like
other agreements."
The reeve told council that lakeside
municipalities were warned to prepare for
potential damage from spring storms. As
there has been little ice on the Great Lakes
this winter, there is no buffer between the
water and the land. Heavy spring storms
are expected to batter the shorelines.
Problems and some remedies were
discussed at the seminar. The best advice
Reeve Johnston could give was, "We can
protect ourselves by not allowing any
building to close to the Lakeshore."
He noted that while Bayfield has high
lakebanks. and is not prone to flooding pro-
blems, he said that property owners along
Tuyll Street in Bayfield face serious pro-
blems with erosion.
At the same council meeting, Road
Superintendent, John Graham reported that
the beach steps at Delevan, Cameron and
Christy Streets have been removed. They
will not be rebuild until water levels drop.
The stairs that led to the waterfront have
been rendered useless because there is no
beach area at the base. The stairs drop
straight into the water..
Mr. Graham reported to council that the
Howard Street stairs are still available for
public access to the lakeshore.
UCW to purchase hymn book
BAYFIELD - At a recent joint meeting of
Unit 1 and 2 of the St. Andrew's UCW held at
the home of Kathleen Siertserna, it was
decided to donate an amount of $2,000 to the
building fund towards the renovation of the
church and also to purchase new hymn
books for use in the worship services. These
books will be purchased in memory of the
faithful UCW members of the past, on the
occasion of the 25th anniversary of the
UCW. These funds are to come out of the
UCW Memorial Fund.
The members present saw part of a film
as, basis for a discussion on the problems of
pollution. °
On March 18, a small group from the
church paid a visit to the Westlake Sugar -
bush to see first hand how maple syrup is
produced. Some couldn't resist purchasing
some of the freshly .made syrup.
The last meeting of the Bible study group
was at the home of Gwen Pemberton and
was well attended, continuing its study of

The Sunday School has made a beginning
with a study on the meaning of Lent and the
making of sacrifices under leadership of
Kathleen Siertserna and Ruby Comrie.
The church renovations is making good
progress, although quite a bit remains to be
done. In the church service 'of March 22,
those who have contributed so far were
thanked by the ehairm•nn ni 4hn Fi r i , I in(t

that an average of $1,600 a week has come in
since the start of the program. Approx-

the fund raising for this project.
During the period of Lent an appeal is also
made for World Development and Relief
under the headings, Sharing Is Love In

fisheries business. He was a boat builder but
eventually with his sons, Jack and Louis,
they became fishermen.
They were fearless men going out in the
wildest storms, exhilarated by the
challenge. Such a man is, Don; Jack's son
who with his wife Kay, has sold his business
and plans to just "putter around" down at
the river. He'll be there with good advice
when needed. The new owners are L and A
Fisheries from Grand Bend. Barb Luck and
Debbie Taylor will still be at the store to
serve you, and Kay MacLeod says it's a
good firm and will maintain the excellent
standards the MacLeods insisted on.
These men became legends in their own
time.
Don was out on the lake off Kettle Point
when Hurricane Hazel struck, luckily the
wind was from the north or they could not
have survived, as it was they were from 4:30
to 7:30 p.m. getting home. He was out pull-
ing nets in the storm that sank the Fit-
zgerald. His faceli up when,he,thinks of9
the challenge the `e offers - the rougher
the better I like it he says.
The adventures in the fishing game are
not all on the lake. Don remembers the price
of perch going from 3 cents to $2 a pound.
One year they sold seven ton truckloads to
Windsor and the cost of the trucking was
more than they got for the fish. Don had
learned about money and hard work at an
early age. His first job brought him 25 cents
a day. He was frugal, put a dollar in post of-
fice savings and had a quarter to squander
each week! Talk about minimum wage.
After 40 years on the lake he has a lot of
memories, getting up no later than four or
five a.m. he is well acquainted with long
days in all kinds of weather.
Kay is retiring too, but she has a lot of
responsibilities yet. She is President of the
Huron County Fishermen's Association, a
director of the Ontario Fish Producers
Association, is on the Lake Huron Manage-
ment Committee and is the former manager
of the Harbour Committee.
They have brought up three children in
Bayfield, .John a student about to graduate
from Carleton University in Ottawa, Dawn
Emma De Jong and Kay's daughter Penny
Overboe.
Both Don and Kay feel that the numerous
government regulations are so difficult that
the small business man is being forced out
of his livelihood.
The Trinity Church Women are to be con-
gratulated on the very pleasant St. Patrick's
day supper they offered last Tuesday as
their first big endeavour as a group. The
Parish Hall was most attractively
decorated, with Irish motifs made by the
Sunday School children and the Irish stew
was excellent, as well as everybody's
favorite, homemade pies.
.Janet McDougall and Hilda Bell were the
convenors, a job well done.

There were 16 children in attendance when the Bayfield Library hosted the Gone Fishin'
puppet workshop on March 19. Marion Doucette (centre), 'information services co-

Children learn puppet making
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - Sixteen children arrived at
Bayfield Library on March 19, to take part
in the paper puppet workshop run by Marian
Doucette.
Everyone started off with a square of pink
paper and having been shown how to make a
few deft folds, produced a delightful pink
pig! But this was just the beginning and
Miss Doucette then went on to demonstrate
what could be achieved with an ordinary
brown paper bag, a cardboard roll and
paper plates.
The next phase was for the children to get
busy and make their own original puppets,
and in addition to the basic materials they
were able to add from a box of felt pieces,
colored markers and streamers. The group
quickly settled into producing imaginative
animals and faces, working quietly and with
a good deal of concentration.
The' time passed all too quickly, but
everyone seemed to enjoy it and went away
triumphantly bearing the results of their
efforts.
Slide Show at Clan Gregor
Thanks are due to James and Maggie
Carr, who on March 17 presented a slide
show for residents of Clan Gregor Apart-
ments. The slides were those which had
been collected and put together with a com-
mentary for the Heritage Day Celebrations.
Many of the buildings shown were
familiar to long term residents who also ad-
ded interesting comments and recollections.
This private showing enabled those who had
not been able to get to the arena to see slides
to do so and there .was no doubt that those
who had seen it thoroughly enjoyed the
repeat performance.
Ever Young Club
The Ever Young Club met on February 26
at 1:30 p.m. with Jeanne Lindsay chairing
the meeting, which opened with the Lord's
Prayer and a minute's silence in memory of
Bruce McClinchey who had passed away
since the last meeting.
A vote was taken and everyone was in
favor of going back to evening meetings
starting at 7:30 p.m., to commence in
March. Minutes of the last meeting were
read by secretary Gwen Pemberton.
Readings and poems were then presented
by Harry Baker, Esther Makins and Ruby
Fitzsimons
The president read the correspondence
which included a letter from Grace McClin-
chey and one from the Minister without
Portfolio for Senior Citizen Affairs, Ron Van
Horne. Members were reminded that ap-
plications to attend the Zone 8 Spring Rally
to be held in Dashwood should be in March
15. The date of the rally is April 7 and the
guest speaker will be Keith Rowntree.
The date for the Guelph Conference will
be August 10-12.
The reports of the treasurer, Dorothy Cox,
and cards, Esther Makins, were then
presented
Happy Birthday was sung to Margaret
Downson, Ileen Cleave, Jeanne Lindsay and
Fern Baker. ,
Marg Burkhart has a bus trip booked for
July 7, this one is to Niagara on the Lake
with a meal on the boat, and maybe,
something coming up for April.
The guest speaker was Helen Owen who
began by saying that for the past 18 months
she had been carrying out some research
relative to senior citizens, in the village of
Bayfield. She explained that at present this
was purely a personal project, but that the
need for support for seniors was a matter
which concerned everyone. She identified
somie of the specific items which needed to
be addressed. The first was transport since
no public transport was available, nor was
there any taxi service on which to call. This
mea nt that people needing to go shopping,
attend hospital or the doctor's office, visit a
sick relative were often handicapped
because of no longer holding a driver's
licence.
The second area of concern was the provi-
sion of some kind of meal service, and the
last was a reliable source of information
with regard to services available for home
care, the provision of special equipment,
diets and advice in relation to specific
conditions.
Mrs. Owen went on to say that the last
analysis of age groups in the village showed
nearly a third of the population in the senior
age groups, and with increasing longevity
becoming an accepted fact, it seemed there
was ample evidence to initiate some long
term planning to set up programs. The abili-
ty to remain independent, and in one's own
home was an objective that might be achiev-
ed, not only for those in immediate need, but
for those who might anticipate such
requirements.
In conclusion, Mrs. Owen asked those pre-
sent l o give an indication of their support,
and from the discussion which ensued it was
clear that the members of the Ever Young
Club appreciated the realities and were in-
terested in such programmes as might ibe
available.

Fallen Memorial Tree
The m emorial tree for the late Monsignor
Bourdea u which was planted last year has
been so ibadly damaged, sorne vehicle hav-
ing smashed into it, so that it is ruined. it is
very sadl when such things happen as the
tree had a special significance for friends of
the Monriignor who had arranged through
the Bayfield Garden Club for the tree to be
planted outside the church.
Because of the Monsignor's liking for
English Hawthorns, this tree had been
specially purchased but this one will not pro-
duce its deep pink flowers.
It is unfortunate that this memorial to a
gentle and beloved man should have been
destroyed in this way. However, the Garden
Club hope.s that it will be possible to replace
the tree.
