The old bulb style lights have been erected in the heritage district this past season. They replace the modern lighting standards that were previously there. The change has not gone without argu- ment and controversy in the village. Mr. Oddleifson, a former reeve of the village, has long been opposed to the change in the lighting. In a letter to council at its Ju- ly 20 meeting, Mr. Oddleifson re -iterated inany of the concerns that he has voiced before - regarding the inadequate lighting and the extra maintenance costs that he believes will be incurred. He also suggested that more pruning of trees would be re- quired with the lights. He stressed that the lights themselves are outdated and do not adequately serve the needs of the Main Street. He noted, "Thirty years ago they were declared obsolete." Mr. Oddleifson further noted, "The bulb lights have a three to four light span and the flourescent lights have upsweeps of six to eight feet." He further asked that no additional lights of this style be used and instead, the modern lights be replaced along Main Street. He noted that council's decision to make the changes in the lights should not have been carried out without a taxpayer referen- dum un the issue. He said that while the lights had been discussed at ratepayers meetings, he suggested that the opinions voiced at these meetings did not represent the majority of taxpayers in Bayfield. "If we had a referendum everytime we spent money, there would be no point in hav- ing a council," Reeve Dave Johnston suggested. He said that he appreciated Mr. Oddleif- son's concerns and noted that LACAC would be advised that not all Bayfielders favor the new lighting system. Council here is interested in hearing views on the Main Street lights. Council members had previously noted that if the lighting system proves to be inadeqaute, it will be replaced. No Frisbee Here Bayfield Council has turned down a scheme that could see Clan Gregor Square become a Frisbee game course. When approached with the plan to provide a three -par, nine hole Frisbee Golf Course in the park, council suggested that such a use was not compatible with the passive park. Council suggested that while the game concept sounded feasible, Clan Gregor ,Square was not a park that should be used for such a sport. It was suggested that the game could interfer with the park's other uses as a picnic area, rest area and children's playground. Council advised' that the plan could be taken to the local Recreation Committee with the suggestion that part of the Agricultural Park area be suitably utilized for Frisbee Golf. 4 LETTER FROM DORIS Brides, baptisms and family gatherings By Doris Hunter HAYFIELD - The large crowd at the Lioness' beautiful fashion show, certainly showed the interest of area residents in the good works of the club and the fashionable clothes our many shops offer, to keep us and our visitors dressed in the latest styles. ;'I'hc bridal gowns, were such a hit one wonders how the Lioness can top that next year. Bravo, for the models who came out smiling despite the sweltering heat. While we're talking about brave volunteers, we should take a good look at the Garden Club projects around town. In- dividual members care for them and in this heat a lot of watering must go on. The triangle on Main Street is cared for this year by Marg and George Chapman, the plan- tings at the library by Susan Eiybel and An- ny Johnston. Harry Mitchell cares for the beds at the municipal building. There will be a wedding at Rainbow Valley. this Saturday at noon. Rev. Hoekstra will perforin the ceremony, when Ronald Nlonette from Kitchener and Sturgeon Falls will exchange marriage vows with Nancy Sherman also from Kitchener. The Antiques Fair Committee of Trinity Church is most grateful to Carol Steckle of Huron Ridge Acres, whohas kindly offered to decorate the entrance to the arena, with her well-known artistic floral ar- rangements. They are indebted also to Charles Scotchmer, who again this year, will make sure electrical arrangements are properly installed. Last year Elva Metcalf was fortunate enough to borrow a wheelchair from Jean Clarke, as she was still recuperating from her accident. It was thought that others could enjoy the show more with such a help. A call to Marg Wise at Wise Electric means that the Oddfellows of Clinton, will loan two of their chairs for the three-day show, August 7, 8 and 9. This work of the Oddfellows is not as well- known as it should be. What • ervice it is to those temporarily disabled. Bring someone to push the chair if you wish to use one. This Saturday the Lions will collect your scrap paper. They go by at 9 a.rn., so have your bundles at the curb.
