It was a night to remember as thousands of people, and that's no exaggeration, waited expectantly to see the sky illumined with sprays of light. It was an occasion to be shared by all age groups and from the echo- ing 'oohs' cho- ing'oohs' and 'ahs' it was appreciated. This year the Optimist Cub is sponsoring a repeat program enco raged by the number of people who have expressed the wish to witness another such spectacle. It is a big under -taking and it is hoped that the community will support the project with generous donations. Accordingly the club will be launching its canvass during the next few weeks in order to implement the grant assistance which they hope to achieve. As part of 'Canada Day' weekend celebra- tions such a display is something of which the village of Bayfield should be justly pro- ud. Such a project requires careful prepara- tion and again the Bayfield Fifeepart- ment will be. contributin g their exp a ise in setting up the display and let n off the fireworks. Help the Optimists to get this display off with a bang! If you miss the canvasser, donations will be accepted by the fund chair- man, "John Talbot, Box 2095, Bayfield (tel: 565-2471) or any member of the Optimist Club.

Some 40 residents filled the municipal meeting rooms to pose queries on the suggested amendment. Gary Davidsen, director of the Huron County Planning Department and assistant Cindy Fisher fielded questions from those assembled with assistance from Bayfield council. The specific areas to be amended concern professional and household uses, temporary uses, incomplete buildings, and mobile homes. The first question came from Elaine Brandon who asked how the proposed bylaw would affect her beauty shop. business. Her daughter had planned to assume respon- sibility of the business but Mrs. Brandon said the proposed bylaw states that anyone operating a business in a residence has to live in that residence. Mrs. Brandon also wondered how the bylaw would affect the sale of her home and business to someone outside the family wanting to continue operating the beauty shop. Mr. Davidson said the amendment states the business operator must live in the house containing the shop to preclude the residence being completely converted into a corrirn.ercial operation. He said it was evi- dent Mrs. Brandon's present arrangement would remain much the same with her daughter running the beauty shop and Mrs. Brandon living in the residence. The planner said Mrs. Brandon's business "is one which already exists" and that bylaws are never retroactive. Her business would have the same rights after the amendment is passed as it has presently and would allow resale. After a business has been dormant for eight months to a year, the right to have that business is considered to have lapsed. He also stressed throughout the evening that the bylaw is activated by complaint. He replied to Mrs. Brandon's question about perpetually complaining neighbors that the complainant has to "point to the specific part of the bylaw being contravened, for ex- ample turning the whole residence into a shop or storing vehicles over 3,000 kilograms in front of'the residence." Doug Telford asked how complaints are made. Mr. Davidson replied the complaint goes to council and voluntary compliance is sought from the individual) s) commiting the infraction. Voluntary compliance is the easiest and cheapest way to rectify the situation said Reeve Lave Johnston. He said the last con- tested infraction cost the municipality $600 in legal fees and the village was defeated in the decision. There were questions about some of the wording, particularily by Bruce Johnston. He asked about the use of the word workshop calling it "elitist." Mr. Johnston also said the bylaw and the amendment seemed "to cater to those already establish- ed or with a lot of money to spend. It's not the thing to do." His questions prompted Mr. Davidson to note that the wording could be changed. The downtown parking situation was also addressed during the meeting. John Chap- man said council should consider enacting bylaws to force businesses to provide park- ing. The reeve said there is adequate public parking in the village, including around Clan Gregor Square. However, Main Street patrons are parking on residential streets because most don't want to walk from Clan Gregor Square parking spots. Because the village doesn't have a bylaw enforcement officer, it is difficult to regulate parking, said Reeve Johnston. One problem with requiring parking on Main Street is that any more intensification of business along the street would be dif- ficult or impossible. Gaps in the streetscape would occur with business people forced to buy land already occupied by buildings to tear them down and install parking lots, said Mr. Davidson. Mr. Chapman said council should try to strike a balance between the "investment benefits of a couple of people and the residual affects on 10 others." Student at Knox Presbyterian By Doris Hunter Knox Presbyterian Church will be open- ing for the summer season on Sunday June 19th at 11 A.M.
