Garage sale bylaw passed After making a few amendments to a garage sale bylaw that was first read at their Feb. 20 meeting, council passed the bylaw designated to regulate residential garage sales in the village. Council changed someofthe contents of the bylaw to limit the size of the sin advertising the garage sale to four square feet. The stipulation was also made that persons holding a sale on someone else's property, or the village's, must first obtain permission from those parties. Ze �yta�u one member of council objected to t Sing :a bylaw to controlthe sales, m completely, opposed. In these times of high unemployment, if a person can make a' few bucks on a garage sale, let them," Cenitclitsr Lloyd He ffran said. The •garage Sale bylaw is similar to the one passed in Clinton and will limit an individual to two garage sales a year. Each sale must be licensed by the village and the operator.must pay! $2 fee. The bylaw specifically states the regulations do not apply to non-profit organizations, such as group sales at churches, arenas or schools. This will allow groups such as the Pioneer Park Association, to hold their annual • fund raising rummage sale. For the residential Bayfield citizen, the bylaw _liarcitg-.a garage • sale to one. location. and restricts it_to two days. The sales must run between-the-hours•of 8 a-.rrb.-and 9 -p. -m.

The expansion is being added to accommodate a kiln for her pottery. Reeve Dave Johnston said the proposed 152 foot expansion does not conform to the village land use and zoning bylaw. He said the expansion would have to fit into a 20 -foot allowance, leaving four and a half feet between the building and the property line. "I feel that this is not a minor variance. I feel that the committee of adjustment shouldn't even hear it," Reeve Johnston said. Councillor Jim Quick agreed, "It sounds like a major variance." Councillor Helen Owen made the motion to send Clerk Graham as a representative of council at the meeting and oppose the expansion... _ Don Lance has built a dream house, doll house for his granddaughter Gina. house is modelled after historical American homes.

Once again Bayfield will have an opportunity to listen to an outstanding young Canadian artist. Pianist Marc Widner, a graduate of the Faculty of Music of the University of Toron- to, winner of a silver medal at the Geneva International Competition in 1975, is the recipient of nurherous scholarships and awards, and his solo recitals have won him considerable acclaim. He has performed as guest soloist with the Kingston Symphony as well as at the Shaw Festival, and more recently he was the first Canadian pianist to perform a solo recital on the stage of the Roy Thompson Hall. With so much to commend him there is no doubt that concert patrons have an. en- joyable evening before them. Bayfield Lioness should be congratulated on their initiative in organizing this series of Youth and Music Concerts which throughout the winter months have given music lovers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy good music in the environs of the village.

MADE HOMEMADE WINE All equipment now available at the V ARNA GENERAL STORE VARNA, ONTARIO More than a dollhouse Bayfielders know Don Lanae as the owner of Lance Antiques, however, the )summer resident is known an an architect of sorts in his Royal Oak, Michigan winter residence. To many in Royal Oak; he sounds like an architect when he talks about the doll house he built for his 15 -year-old granddaughter, Gina. Indeed, the doll house he spent four years making on and off, is not the run-of- the-mill variety. } Except for the clapboard siding which Mr. Lance purchased pre-cut, he designed and made every piece: doors, doorways, win- dow frames, wood molding doorboards. cherrry newel post and stairway, fireplaces and furniture. Mr. Lance said more importantly, his creation is a "model hour first and a doll house second." _..__. That's because he"built ft"to an exact scale - -of-one inch for .a foot, and garnered_. details from actual homes which have special meaning to Mr. Lance and his wife, Lois, whotioni$t. is active as local historian preserva- v1 One structure, in Troy, Michigan, is an 1849 Greek Revival house which the Lances lived in for 30 years. They've since returned to their' home town of Royal Oak. The other homes are New England col- onials, "built by our ancestors in the late 1700s which are still standing in Massachusetts and Vermont," Mr. Lance explained. Mr. Lance is retired from the mortgage banking buiness and since then: he said, "I've found a life• full of many things to do, mostly making things for my eight gratid- childreni" such as wagons and; treasure chests for the boys and doll houses for the gll'is- He considers Gina Lance's doll house. his most ambitious work, adding that, "if I charged per hour, the thing would cost about $10,000." Accordingly, it is less a plaything and more an heirloom. "I want it to stay with the oldest daughter in the family forever," said Mr. Lance whose ancestors came to America on the Mayflower. He got some help with the doll house pro.. ject. Mrs. Lance did the wallpapering And made the curtains.. The 14 brass doorknobs were aide by Gina's father, Christopher, of - Lase Industries Royal Oak. "There's been a Christopher Lance in America since 1740." said Mr. Lance. For him, woodwork is a long-time voca- tion and avocation. he makes furniture as well as restores antiques. He specializes in 19th and 18th century American clocks. Accordingly, he stocked Gina's doll house with a "Connecticut -style tallcase._-clock• copied after one I own." More furniture for the doll house is in the works and Mr. Lance noted, "For my next project, I hope to make a Chippendale din- ing room suite. Harming others' health That annoying smoke which a smoker puffs out, called mainstream smoke, is far less dangerous to non-smokers than the tobacco .smoke which is released. directly into the air. Sidestream smoke contains twice the tar and the nicotine, five times the carbon monoxide and 50 times the ammonia of mainstream smoke. Smokers, are not only harming their own health, but also the health of non-smokers.
