After 10 years board of educatonsecretary resits
BYJOANNE
BUCHANA,N
Mrs. Melvin (Edythe
Ethelwyn) Bell of
Goderich is not a teacher
but after more than 3Q' Mrs. Bell retired on
years as a secretary in August 2 after 1.0 yearsas
the field of education, she a secretary with the

Bayfield will rescind bylaw
by Shelley McPhee
Bayfield Co'uncil's attempts to
control subdivison development has
been foiled.
At a Saturday morning, meeting
with the Bayfield Ratepayers
Association, Reeve Frank McFadden
told a group of 50 people.that council's
passed resolution to limit the ap-
proval of plans for proposed sub-
diVisons will have to be amended.
There are already about 80 lots ap-
proved and still waiting to be built on.
Council learned from Huron's
planning department the bylaw must
be changed since council cannot
refuse a subdivision application.
Council only gives the re -
commendation of approval on such
applications and final endorsement
must be given by several ministry
departments.
The village council was told,
however, that they may still have
some input into the controlling of
subdivisons by refusing the recom-
mendation of the application's ap-
proval before it goes to the other
ministries.
"Things are on our side there, not
the developer's," Reeve McFadden
claimed. "All subdivisons are
carefully considered by the village
and a number of ministries."
Little protest came from the
ratepayers, who at their 1978 meeting
voiced considerable concern over the
increasing rate of subdivision
development in Bayfield. At that
time, there were three under con-
struction, including the 57 home
Ducharme development.
Since that time, work on the Dur-
charme project has slowed almost to
a halt and one ratepayer voiced, "It
looks like a dump now."
Clerk Gord Graham explained that
an offer to purchase had been made
last fall gnd attempts were made to
compl( the subdivison by
November 1, but the transaction fell
through and construction work slowed
down.
"That's why there was quite a bit of
activity there," he noted.
In other business, a new executive
for the Ratepayers Association was
elected. The 1979 officers include:
president, George Fellows;, vice
president, Jack Lane; past president,
Dr. G.H. Shepeherd; secretary, Ann
Tillman; treasurer, Ernie Hovey;
directors, four permanent residents,
Jessie Blair, Doris Reddock, Dawna
Westlake and Jan Simons; two
summer residents, Patricia Muratorii
and Jean Cook.

spector, D.r. R.O. Staples .

Mrs.. Bell did not have
° regular office hours.
"I just did the work as
it needed to be done,"- she
recalls.
She worked for the next
nine years on a casual
basis in the office above
the Royal Bank. Then, in

moved to a suite of three
rooms in the newly
constructed Huron
County Court House, Mrs.
Bell began working full-
time for school in-
spectors, Glen Gardiner
and Jim Kinkead. They
covered north and south

The move to the Court

CountyBoard of
