BAYFIELD - This lakeside village may
have permanent police enforcement if a pro-
posal to set up an Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) office gets off the ground.
Council and the planning committee here
will study a request from the OPP to
establish a part-time detachment in the
village.
Initial council reaction to the proposal ap-
pears favorable. The municipal officials
must now determine where the office could
be located as a stipulation requires the
municipality to provide office space for the
OPP detachment.
The proposal from the OPP is part of a
new program to provide additional service
in new areas. The Bayfield suggestion was
initiated by the Goderich detachment of the
OPP.
Currently the Bayfield area is served by
the Goderich OPP and frequently villagers
have requested more police patrols for the
busy resort town.
Reeve Dave Johnston noted, "This r( -
quest certainly falls in line with what mary
residents in Bayfield have asked us - to hale
greater OPP presence in the village."
Most recently council studied a letter
from a group of people associated with The
Little Inn, requesting that a part-time bylaw
enforcement officer be hired by the vilage.'
The letter suggested that such an Oficial
could work to reduce reckless drivi>!g in-
cidents, drunken parties on the beach and
noise problems.
The letter noted that the peace and charm
of Bayfield needs to be protected.
Reeve Johnston noted that a bylaw en-
forcement officer does not have the authori-
ty to enforce the laws as indicated in the let-
ter. He suggested, "The police have the
responsibility to arrest drunken and
rowdies, not alp bylaw enforcement officer.
All the areas mentioned in the letter are
under the OPP jurisdiction."
"There is some merit in discussing this at
a planning meeting. It could be worthwhile
to have a bylaw enforcement officer in
Bayfield," noted Councillor Pat Muratori.
Local restaurants will host Diner's
-7
Club from November to March
By Helen Owen
Since the program started in August the
Bay:: .1u Diners' Club has been welrattend-
ed, and new faces are always welcomed.
There are two more weeks to run at the
Community Centre, then the winter
schedule will operate a little differently.
Thanks to the co-operation of the Little
Inn, the Bayfield Village Inn, the Albion
Hotel and the Captain's Cove who have of-
fered to act as hosts from November
through to the end of March. The price of the
meal will be the same, and where necessary
transportation will be arranged to ensure
that everyone can come along. It is also
planned to introduce some after -lunch pro-
grams of general interest and entertain-
ment. Basically the club works on the same
basis - call before noon on Mondays to con-
firm your attendance. More detailed infor-
mation will be coming up as soon as all the
arrangements are confirmed so watch this
column for these announcements.
Also, now that the summer months are
over, it would seem an appropriate time to
initiate the shopping trips. It would be nice

Goodbye to Bayfield
Every year people come to Bayfield, and
many return again and again. One visitor to
the village this year who is leaving to
resume his travels is a young man, Grant
Simmons.
He arrived early it the summer to renew
his acquaintance with Kim and John at the
Albion Hotel whom he had formerly en-
countered in Australia, and this young man
who leads a very peripatetic existence,
decided to spend some time in the Village.
Cheerful and amusing, this young man who
was born and educated in London, England,
decided seven years ago that he would like
to see something of the world. During that
time he has visited Australia and New
Zealand, much of Europe, Russia, Israel,
the United States, Canada and Hawaii.
During the course of his travels he has
undertaken all sorts of work, enjoyed a
number of varied and interesting ex-
periences and, of course, met and mixed
with many people. With his English
background, and the time spent in
Australia, Grant was no stranger to cricket
and in fact, played for the village this
summer.
Now, as it says in the song on the TV
series "Littlest Hobo" ... "Its time to be
moving on", and Grant is once again off on
his travels via Toronto, New York, Florida
and hopefully to the Caribbean - Good Luck
Grant, it was nice to meet you.
