January 21 BAYFIELD - Bird watchers in this neighorhood are delighted with the ap- pearance of a red -bellied woodpecker at their feeders. The extensive black and white zebra -like barring of back and wings, combined with the bright red on the head, nape and back of neck distunguishes it from other Cana- dian woodpeckers. It is rarely seen in Canada and only in southern Ontario. Its range extends to southern Texas and southern Florida. He is not interested in suet, eats corn, but prefers peanuts. January 21 BAYFIELD - The annual general meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club was held in the municipal building here January 12. Officers for the year were ap- pointed as follows: past president - Harold Beakhurst; president - no appointment made as yet; first vice-president - Kay Reid; second vice-president, Gordon Graham. Executive members for two years: Ray Holley, Esther Wright, Dora Warwick, Herb Beatty, Doris Hunter. For a one year term: Percy Renner, George Chapman, Stewart Oakes, George Youmatoff and Jessie Blair. Auditors for the year are Frank Burch and Ernie Hovey. BAYFIELD - At the January meeting of the Bayfield Fire Department, the col- leagues of Joe Koene were saddened to learn of his resignation as he had decided to step down after 18 years, and as he said, let someone younger take his place. During this time, Mr. Koene has been on call 24 hours a day, and his unfailing ser- vice is much appreciated by the fire department and the village. January 21 BLYTH - Silence fell over the council chambers here on January 13 when the an- nouncement was made that Councillor Tom Cronin had resigned. "It is with regret, but also gratitude for a job well done that we have to look at this document," Reeve Albert Wasson said. "Tom has served the community well, and for a time, as both a councillor and reeve. It goes without saying that he served coun- cil well, as well as the municipality." Councillor Cronin served as a councillor for two years, from 1978 to 1980, before tak- ing the job as reeve in 1980. He continued as reeve for five years, until 1985, when he once again became a councillor. Not wishing to discuss his reasons for leaving, Councillor Cronin stated, "I told Albert I'd leave sleeping dogs lie, and that's the way it's going to be." However, he later added, "For you people that have not been reeve, you have no idea what you give to your town. Those that sit on council have no idea what he goes through." Other members of council also voiced their regrets on his departure. "If that's your wish Tom and I certainly don't like to see it, I make the motion to ac- cept it (resignation), certainly with regrets," said Councillor Bill Howson. Councillor Lloyd Sippel echoed his opi- nion. "If that's your final decision, there's not much we can say about it, but I sure hate to see it happen." One member, Councillor Bill Manning, voted against accepting the resignation as he noted he also hated to see Councillor Cronin leave. January 21 BLYTH - Over 30 teams have been af- fected by the January 6 breakdown of the ice plant at the arena here. "The brine chiller broke on them," Councillor Bill Howson explained. "It's go- ing to be about January 26 before the new chiller is in. Originally they thought it would be the twenty-second or twenty- third." Included in those left without ice to play their sports on are 17 broomball teams, six teams from the Maitland Valley Hockey league, two hockey teams from the Chris- tian Reformed league, seven minor hockey teams and figure skaters. A major broom - ball tournament scheduled to run from January 21 to 25 was also cancelled. The total repair bill to replace the 20 -year-old part will be between $23,000 and $24,000, Mr. Howson noted. He said that while other parts of the ice plant are equally old, a preventative maintenance program is earried out year- ly to stay on top of any problems that may occur. Unfortunately, this was one compo- nent of the machine that could not be checked as it was an inside tube that rusted through. "The sad part is, if we had a breakdown we always hoped it would be in mid- January (with the cold weather), but this couldn't have come at a worse time," Councillor Howson said. Arena co -manager Murray Black said that the teams have been fortunate in fin- ding other arenas to carry out their sports. He added, "If this (colder) weather keeps up, we'll have it (ice) here." Festive times at Huronview HURONVIEW - On December 21, residents of Shady Nook here sat down to a festive Christmas dinner which included turkey and all the trimmings. Members of Ontario United Church met for a social hour the following afternoon. For those with a sweet tooth, the place to be was the auditorium where the residents gathered for their annual Christmas tea. There were several trays of all kinds of goodies. Some residents were at the Red Maple Inn where they spent an hour for a social time on December 24. In the evening, there was a church service in the auditorium prior to Christmas Day. Huronview welcomes Harold Marr from Wingham for vacation care. Christmas Day residents enjoyed their dinner of turkey and all the trimmings, com- plete with pudding. Thanks goes to the kit- chen staff. Vodden & Bender CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS are pleased to announce the admission to partnership of Paul W. Seebach, B.A., C.A.
