October is a big birthday month in Bayfield, to name just a few, Leda McAlister, Jean Bell, Ernie Hovey, Esther Wright and yours truly. Villagers viewed with regret, the big moving van at the Machen's residence last Tuesday. Charles and Sari with their two daughters, Maia and Kyra, have made many friends in Bayfield since they came to town a few' years ago. They were active in the community, not just intent on the commercial side of things. Charles became Warden of Trinity Anglican Church and was co -convenors of the first Bayfield Antiques Fair. He spent many hours on the organization of the Business Improvement Association. Most of us have samples of the character photographs which he and Sari took, It was such fun to dress up in the colorful costumes Sari had designed and largely made herself. They will be miss- ed, but all true Bayfielders know, that Bayfield is really a disease, once you are infected you will always return, so we have just said Au revoir and not Adieu to the Machens. The new owners of the property are Dr. Michael and Silva Leser. Dr. Lesser is a practising physician in Stratford and his wife is a talented potter we are told. It will be interesting to meet them. The recreation committee remind you of the mums and tots free skating hour, from 10 to 11 a.m. every Wednesday. If you weren't out with your little ones this week, be sure to come along. You can't learn to skate early enough, after all, skating is a very traditional skill, as Canadian as the maple leaves which have been so beautiful this autumn. Here to enjoy them were Gilbert and Marian Swinburnson of Royal Oak, St. Andrew's United Church Hwy. 21 Bayfield 565 2854 Rev luhri Hurl, •,hu M L) . O1ynnitii M1,II,(u.

Our world is so beautiful to look at right now, market crashes, and horrors in the middle east not withstanding, we must take time to really look. Have you stopped in front of the ar- chives window to admire the lovely autumn theme Rob Lyons has created? Once again the Historical Society is in- debted to him. Watch out for the Hob Goblins on Hallo- ween. Thank goodness the mischief of yesterday is not possible as the privy has joined the extinction of the Do Do bird. A great big thank you to Bill and Mackie Gammage, from their neighbours on Anne St. They have erected a beacon light, high enough to look almost like a new star in the heavens and bright enough, to• scare away any prowlers in the district. The Pottery Club has set an example for us all. They have voted $200 towards town hall refurbishing. No all we need is an organization to lead us in a campaign to put the building back into public use.

For many people this was a cause of some concern, especially when the news media described certain areas and showed pictures of the damage which had occurred. Naturally this resulted in a number of trans-Atlantic telephone calls to relatives and friends to ascertain their well being. Fortunately it seems that no individual casualities occurred, although there were stories of damage to homes and property. gardens and trees being uprooted, and power being cut off for a time. One interesting fact to emerge from all this was the discovery that it is no longer possible to 'dial direct' and all calls are now handled through the operator — is this because of the new system installed in the village? Ever Young News The first meeting of the Bayfield Ever Young Club was held on September 24 with the paying up of dues for the coming year.

This followed a White Paper tabled by the minister for senior citizens' affairs and on that occasion those present were given an outline of the one-step access approach. and invited to join in discussions on proposed provincial criteria. The program should be of particular in- terest to those individuals interested m lear- ning more about this new initiative for the integration of access to both health and social services for the elderly. It is interesting to note that in Bayfield. sponsored by Town and Country Homemakers and the Ever Young Club. steps have already been taken to introduce support programs. New Directions Last November a seminar entitled Voices for Choices was held in the auditorium at Huronview. It covered all aspects of social services, and the workshop which followed provided a good deal of valuable informa- tion as to where gaps existed, where there were overlaps and the variety of services that were available. This year, on November 12 a further meeting is to be held at HuronvieW, called Chapter Two - New Directions. This time the subjects to be addressed are - employment. housing, transportation, mental health and information services.
