(David Emslie photo) Public meeting planned for BIA discussion BAYFIELD - Business owners in this municipality are being personally invited to attend a special meeting on June 12 to discuss the proposal to form a Business Im- provement Area (BIA). Letters of invitation are being sent out to the more than 100 merchants in the village. The meeting will be held this Friday night, 8 p.m. at the Municipal Building. The purpose of this meeting is to hear in- put and opinions from local businesses in regard to the BIA proposal. In the works for some months now, the BIA proposal has been primarily considered for Main Street merchants. It was the inten- tion of the BIA steering committee that businesses in this area could be marketed on a year round basis if there was an active BIA group in operation. Some opposition has been voiced by business people who are located outside the boundaries of the proposed BIA district. The village's planning committee discuss- ed the issue when they met on May 26. One of the main concerns of the committee is to make certain that there is no split among the businesses and that a harmonious at- mosphere be maintained. With this intent in mind, the planning committee and the BIA steering committee agreed to call a full meeting with invitations sent to all businesses within the village. Vanastra students visit dairy and mixed farms By Joan McLachlan VANASTRA - The kindergarten class at Vanastra enjoyed their farm unit along with their follow up to the Carter's dairy farm in the morning and Pullen's mixed animal farm in the afternoon. They were very sur- prised to hear that pigs are easy to train because they are very smart. Kindergarten students saw a film called the Three Little Pigs and the animals in it were real pigs trained to act out the story. Trip to Seaforth By Kim Dixon Gr. 1 and 2 students are planning a trip to the Seaforth Community, visiting the fire hall, hospital, police station, community services and the lions' Park. June 18 will be an interesting and fun day for the primary children. This trip is a follow up to a community study taking place. Planting By Lai Racksasouk The Grade 2 class planted flowers in the flower boxes. They planted petunias. The Ministry of Environment came June 1 and gave a lesson on litter and how to handle garbage. Trip to Kitchener By Dixie Embling The Grade 3-4 students have started a Mennonite unit1For their school trip, they are going to Kitchener. There they will see Mennonites and lots of other things.

Track and Field Competition By Lisa Gahwiler The Grade 5-6 class participated in track and field on June 2 at Seaforth High School. Although Vanastra did not get their name on the score board they had a great time par- ticipating and are proud to have had the op- portunity to go. Grade 7 News By Judy Elliott The Grade 7 class had their trip to the pig farm outside of Varna. They found it in- teresting although it was stinky. They learn- ed about the liquid system, how he breeds pigs, and how he feeds them. When they got out of the barn the students smelt like pigs but it was all worth it.

CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1987—Page 9 Senior citizen's month is worthwhile By Helen Owen BAYFIELD - In a letter from Ron Van Horne, Minister for Senior Citizen Affairs, it states: "the province of Ontario has been immeasurably enriched by the contribu- tions of its senior citizens ... and recognizes the importance of their role by proclaiming June as Senior Citizens' Month." Community groups across the province are asked to participate in this event. In Bayfield the Ever Young Club will be atten- ding a service at St. Andrew's United Church on June 28 followed by lunch at the Captain's Cove, in addition to a visit to Huronview on June 9 for a meal and enter- tainment. These are two events in which the club is involved but there are other aspects which perhaps, reflect a deeper interpreta- tion of the theme Aging is a Lifelong Affair. The most valuable heritage seniors con- tribute to society lies not only in knowledge and experience, but in the fact that they have produced another generation who, although influenced by events and contem- porary trends, nevertheless carry with them something of the standards and at- titudes incalculated in the formative years. Two world wars, changes in life style which have come about so rapidly, and an era of technological development have all made heavy demands. Extensive means of travel and media exposure to all sorts of subjects previously concealed have re- quired a much wider appreciation of world events, a testing of former accepted strengths and sometimes a sickening revulsion. Increased longevity often means that grandchildren and great grandchildren sometimes seem to exist in a different time warp tb that of their grandparents whose fantasies are now familiar realities. Air and space travel, nuclear power and all the appliances that make up today's domestic scene are accepted. It's a far cry from the slate to the computer, from the magic lantern to the VCR, from the rag doll to the speaking teddy. Each generation adapts to the amenities and yet for the seniors of today this ever changing scene has not been gradual. It has required cons- tant absorption and learning so that the old wash tub and scrubbing board has been replaced by machines, kitchen ranges by stoves and microwaves, the crystal set by Hi Fi and TV. Although aging may be a lifelong affair it is also an endless learning process not only with regards to scientificAscoveries but also in the estimation of values and perhaps at no other time in history has there been a generation so exposed. One month designated by the government in recognition of seniors is a worthy project since it draws attention to the mature members of the community, the ways in which they have endeavored to achieve their hopes and aspirations and it is also a challenge to the future and a reminder that for the majority that senior status lies ahead. Bayfield Lioness News The Bayfield Lioness held their June meeting with a dinner at the Albion Hotel. Twenty-seven Lioness and four guests were present.
