Ross and Associates of Goderich. The council moved to accept the study at its March 18 council meeting. The report states the municipality has a serious drainage problem and the firm estimates costs to come to a total, in 1985 dollars, of $1,741,700 phased over a period of 25 years. Bayfield Council was pleased with the document, which contains 27 pages and five maps, stating that while it is written in layman's terms for easier understanding, it is a comprehensive enough submission upon which to base the municipality's drainage construction. Council has tentatively decided to set $20,000 aside for construction in 1986. However, before rdrainage construction commences, council wants to complete several smaller village projects. Of the drainage system currently employed, ?bur drains were found to be ac- ceptable for inclusion in the proposed system. They are the storm sewers on Highway 21, on Ducharme Crescent, Hamilton Street and the outlet to Lake Huron, the storm drain on Cameron Street from 500 feet east of Angus Street to an outlet on the Lake Huron beach and the storm sewer on Long Hill Road to Mill Road to Mara Street, with its outlets through the harbor wall to the Bayfield River. "The existing underground drainage system c osis mainly of old field tiles at shallow depth d with small diameters. Street drainage i or with an insufficient number of catch basins and inadequate outlets," states the account. The • area with the most extensive drainage problem has been labelled area "B" in thestatement. The area is bound by Lake Huron on the west, Highway 21 on the east, extends just north of Colina Street to the north and just south of Glass Street in. the south. "Area "B" is the largest drainage area in the village and includes most of the business section of the village," the report reveals. "It is also the .most developed section of the village and has the most problems related to the lack of a proper storm sewer system." The southern portion of this section is available for "infilling".or further deveNa- ment on vacant lots.

"Area 'B' requires many new storm sewers to reduce the present and growing problems. Before any of these sewers can function properly, a designed outfall sewer down• the lake bank must be in place." The report adds -the necessary public land on Delevan Street is provided 'by the road. allowance and the ' outfall "can be economically built deep enough to carry all of the water that is now discharging at a lower elevation in the open watercourse" or ditch about 430 feet north of the intersection of Delevan and Tuyll Streets. The erosion problem the ditch is experiencing has spark- ed letters of concern to the village council. Because the outfall must be built before the rest of the system for area "B" it has been given the ,,first priority in a phasing system outlined in the submission. It added that, "It is recommended that the crossings of Tuyll to intercept flows on the east side of the -street and provide outlets for Catherine and Delevan Street East, should also be built when the outfall sewer is con- structed. Similarly, building the Tuyll Street sewer from Del- : S -e 'ortherly 430 feet to intercep the open dish will eliminate the discharge over the • : •• . t Location 2 ( the ditch)." The proposed second phase is to provid drainage for Catherine and Main Streets. The third phase is work on Delevan, Susan and another section of Main Street. The scheduling of storm sewer con- struction has not been projected beyond the first three phases because infilling and ex- pansion will create additional problems which will have to be addressed in order of importance. The costs incurred by con- structing the rest of the proposed storm sewer system are also listed in the report. As stated previously, the total cost of the proposed system is $1,741,700. The Delevan • outfall sewer, the crossing of Tuyll Street to Delevan Street East and to Catherine Street and t Tuyll Street drain •from Delevan Stre northerly to intercept the open water co se is estimated at just short of $100,000. The second phase., Catherine Street from Tuyll Street to Main Street, and Main Street from Catherine Street to Susan Street has been projected in 1985 dollars to cost almost $85,000. And, finally, phase three has been. estimated at over $100,000. This includes the installation of a storm sewer on Delevan Street from Tuyll Street to Susan Street, one on Susan Street from Delevan Street to Main Street and another Main Street frond' Susan Street to Louisa Street. The total of these three phases, said to be imperative to alleviate the village's serious drainage problem, is $286,000 in 1985 dollars. "This figure does indicate the magnitude of the storm sewer deficiency and points out the need to commence a Tnajor program of .. storm sewer contruction." Provincial funding While Bayfield is incapable of assuming a debt of the size suggested by the report, it 'explains that there are provincial programs available for projects of this type. "All of these storm sewers will be elegible for subsidy by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications MTC) under Part X of the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act. The rate of subsidy for Bayfield is cur- rently 50 per cent, and should apply to all of the sewers except those with pipe diameters greater than 700 nun; in those cases the sub- sidy will be slightly less than 50 per cent." The report states that, based on the municipality's allocation to road and storm sewer work and MTC's subsidy to the village, the municipality should have about $140,000 with which to work. The bulk of the approximately $90,000 left after maintenance costs of about $50,000 should be applied to storm sewer construction. The construction may be elegible for grants under the Ontario Neighborhood Im- provement Program (ONIP ). "In this case, the grant is also 50 per cent but sewers are considered hard services ani will only be funded if there is a simultaneous. commitment to soft services of at least 20 per cent of the total project cost." The report advised against'thle issuance of debentures in order to complete more of the system because "the debt repayment will further restrict the amount of work that can be done in subsequent years." The consulting firm suggested that with the longer terms of coirricil, extended from two to three years, the village could negotiate a longer construction contract rather than an annual program. "An annual program of sewer con- struction may be the best for Bayfield in the long run, but there would likely be some financial advantage to a larger contract in the early stages when more and larger con- tractors would bid on the outfall and larger diameter: sewers." • and about the villa By Doris Hunter The -list of returning villagers from the south increases daily.

His subject, on which he is an authority, was the cultivation and care of roses. Mr. Pagowski reminded' his listeners that hybrid tea roses and floribundas originated in warmer. climates - Asia Minor and the East, but, nevertheless they were the best Jnr this climate. Not only were they a species less likely to be killed off by frost, but they were similar to wild hybrids, with the added clrarill of being reminiscent of those rises grmsn in old Victorian gardens. Referring to a book which dealt with rose growing, it contained, he said, the 10 commandments, and gave detailed information on problem areas, such as pest control. e.g. spider mites, black spot and black hood to don when he asks his patrons to "Watch the Birdie". - Janice Clarke has enrolled in a nursing course at Stratford. She has been a nurse for 10 years, with long experience in the care of the aged in a nursing home. Now she wishes to augment and update her education in the nursing field. ' The leaflets in our churches this week were supplied by the Canadian Cancer Society with a suninlary of just a few of the services :supplied by this .organization of volunteers. A visit to a cancer clinic would soon prove to anyone the work these people do. Drivers take out patients from any loca- tion to the centre, and during the long waits for various tests required other volunteers are on hand offering tea and coffee with biscuits to patients,, who suffer from ner- vous anxiety no matter how well adjusted to the disease they may be. If like most people today, you have a friend so afflicted you will be aware of the many other projects the e Cancer Society carries on. St. Andrews United Church held a congregational meeting after the church service at which one elder was elected John Chapman. John's family have had a long association with this church. His grandparents, one of our. earliest summer residents; faithfully attended services there and Sunday School was a must for the children. One of Hay'field's pleasures has been the sound of the'carillon from Trinity Anglican Church. These bells were given by Mrs. May Atkinson in ,memory of her husband Dr. ,Jack Atkinson. .They were given to the Glory of God and for the enjoyment of all the 'people of Bayfield.

He gave practical advice and named specific products for specific purposes, but added, that in any event gardening was doing -what you felt to be good! Discussing the suitable siting of roses, Mr. Pagowski advised an area where there was - a free flow of air, and protection from wind. Good drainage was another. essential factor, as well as sufficient light. Although .,the average life of the hybrid tea rose was reckoned to be seven years, Mr. Pagowski said that from his own experience some varieties had continued to flourish for as , long as -18 years'. ' Another recommendation was the importance of the purchase of good plants, preferably from growers whose fields were available for inspection; and he emphasized the need for ,care in acquiring good root stocks.
