I'Fl L C by Helen Owen and Doris Hunter 1 estaurant highlights casual dining By Rod Hilts What do you get when you combine the fine culinary talents of Chef Willie Petz and the business knowledge of Rick Aylsworth °? Answer - The Harbour Lights Restaurant in Bayfield. The Harbour Lights Restaurant is situated just off Highway 21, overlooking the peaceful waters of the Bayfield harbor. On April 30 of this year, Rick and Willie mounted a partnership and thus a new twist of casual dining was born to the resort village of Bayfield. " When I was first ap- proached to lease the restaurant, I didn't jump at the offer," said Rick, "I had a chance to think about it." Shortly after hearing the offer from Dick Peever, the owner of Harbour Lights Development, Rick con- tacted a business friend, Chef Willie Petz. Rick hal met Willie a year earlier when the two worked at a resort in the Collingwood area. Willie liked the idea and before long, the business plans were in the making. The background of these two gentlemen reflect the at- mosphere .and characteristics that make the Harbour Lights Restaurant a unique food service in Bayfield. Prior to working in sales for a resort in Collingwood, Rick owned a hotel in Goderich for 3'"2 years. He also runs the food services division at the Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Chef Willie worked for a few years in Collingwood, before taking his apprenticeship at the Hyatt Regency in Toron- to. Both men carry a wealth of knowledge about their in- dustry into their Bayfield restaurant. According to Rick, the Harbour Lights Restaurant prides itself on promoting the chef. "We are one of the few restaurants in the area that have respect for the chef. We stress the abilities of Willie and the quality of our food. The key to our restaurant is the fact Willie's a working chef, he has a business in- terest in cooking," stressed Rick The Harbour Lights Restaurant is one of the few food outlets in the area that overlooks Lake Huron. Ac - Erosion is slowing eating away the cliffside at Pioneer Park in Bayfield. A visitor to Bayfield is seen inspecting the damage. (George Chapman photo) cording to Rick, it's the only place in the whole area that offers an all -day menu. "Our goal is to please three bodies. Boaters, the tourist business from the highway and most impor- tantly, the local clientele. We feel with the personnel we have and our location, we can do it," Rick said. The Harbour Lights menu is highlighted by a variety of food. Everything ranging from escargot to ham- burgers can be ordered. The atmosphere is quiet and easy going, "eliminating formali- ty." If you prefer dining out- doors, a large patio overlooking the harbor and grounds surrounding the restaurant, is at your disposal. Another part off the restaurant business is cater- ing to small parties or larger groups. Rick emphasizes, "It's one thing to get customers in but the key is to get them back." p.m. It WV FM EN®i 11111981111111 An interesting new log house has been built on a lovely wooden site near :;... yfleld.

Sounds just super. UCW meet The ladies of Unit 1 of the United Church women were entertained on June 2 at the home of Mrs. Vivian Morton. Miss Dorothy Cox, ar- chivist of the Bayfield Historical Society gave a most informative talk to the members, who gathered first at the Archives Room. The history and the collec- tion of artifacts and the work of the Historical Society pro- ved most interesting to everyone. The president Mrs. Jean Greer thanked both the speaker and Mrs. Morton for a most entertain- ing meeting. Garden Walk The Garden Club is busily preparing for the annual Garden Walk, which will take place June 25, and the sun will shine. An innovation this year will be an exhibi- tion of the works of the pot- tery club. Mr. and Mrs. Gary Hulley have graeiot,isly in- vited the club to hold the display on their lawn. Mrs. Charles Rogers has once more donated fascinating old postcards to be sold as tickets. The Archives windows are in charge of the Garden Club this month with some sug- gested reading material on exhibit. UCW visit archives Unit I of UCW of St. An- drew's United Church met on June 2 at the home of Vi- vian Morton. The group assembled in the Archives Room where the Archivist, Dorothy Cox, gave an interesting talk. She gave a short history of the building itself and praised the vision of the members of the Historical Society who had started the idea and had received a New Horizons grant to have the old building moved and incor- porated with Village Library. The village now owns the building itself and volunteer help has spent hours getting the news clippings, letters, maps, books, and pictures organized. The Archivist said that much of the early material had been gathered by Ethel Poth. An Archives Fund has been set up to be used to pur- chase significant historical letters and deeds. As various collections in the Archives Room were described - the group realized how many in- teresting things were being carefully preserved for anyone to study. The president, Jean Greer, thanked Dorothy Cox for planning such an enlighten- ing talk. The group then moved on to Vivian Morton's home where a short business meeting was held. Plans for the annual beef barbecue were discussed, July 1 is the date. Round about It's visitors time in Bayfield. Mr. Blair Brandon and lady friend have return- ed to Lethbridge after a visit with his parents and family, Ken and Elaine Brandon.

Joe and Alice Brandon have had their grandson, Christopher, son of Brian and Diane of Tara, at their home for a few days. Miss Brenda Blair was with her mother, Mrs. Jessie Blair at their home on Blair Street. It is in the lovely garden here that refreshments will be served at the Garden Walk. New businesses welcomed The many new businesses which have opened in Bayfield are very inviting and local people welcome them most cordially. We think the great popularity of our village is largely due to the pleasant environment which prevails here. This didn't just happen. Organizations such as the Pioneer Park, the Lions and Lioness, the Historical Socie- ty and certainly the Bayfield Garden Club contribute greatly to the community and they are all served on a volunteer basis. Most of our long established businesses support not only our chur- ches but our organizations and have done so over the years. The fees are quite nominal and all are warmly urged to join. Let us know that you appreciate what our villagers do to make Bayfield the charming town it is. Proprietors of our new stores are most cordially in- vited to share by becoming rnembers. Some of us just ignore bir- thdays, but the Fitzsimons family all rallied round on Sunday to make sure that their mother, Ruby, had a memorable one this time. Sylvia, Terry, Karen and Kelso with all their families were on hand to say Many Happy Returns as do all her many friends in town.
