(Anne Narejko photo) Surprise gathering staged By Helen Owen BAYFIELD Oar August..11 the Bayfield Lioness staged a surprise gathering. for Bayfield's respected and dedicated medical practitioner, Dr. Grosvenor Shepherd. Th secret had beers kept so well, and when he arrived to be greeted by the crowd who had gathered at the community centre, there was no doubt that the reception accorded to him was truly unexpected. The Rev. George Youmatoff acted as Master of Ceremonies, and Lioness Presi- dent, Carol Penhale greeted the ,doctor and his wife Mary and presented them with a corsage and buttonhole. Paying tribute to the doctor, Rev. Youmatoff gave a. brief ac- count of his career from his days as a medical student at McGill during the depression, bis war service and busy and distinguished work in Windsor. Since coml. ing to- Bayfield when he retired, Rey. Youmatoff said, he had provided a unique service to the,community from his office on Main Street. Always available to those who needed him, his dedication and 'care was an example of the truest concepts -of medical ethics. A group of his young patients paid their ,. own tribute to the doctor, and the children's choir under the direction of Wendy Hessel sang three. songs, the words of one being specially adapted to express their apprecia- tion - including the lollipops! r was a The next item on the program P sketch depicting familiar episodes which oc- cur during the doctor's .office 'hours. Joe Mayman gave a fine imitation of the doctor assisted by young Tyler Hessen (with hips dog), Vera Gregg, with her very suspicious specimen, and the village council as pa- tients. Reeve, David Johnston, made a presenta- tion to the doctor of a very special bottle of tonic bearing an appropriate prescription in Latin, which roughly translated read: "tet him take one fluid ounce of the ardent spirit at night, or more, as it gives him pleasure - to be repeated indefinitely!" Dr. Shepherd thanked the Lioness for his surprise party and all those who attended, and summed up, his philosophy 'by saying that the important thing was to care for peo- ple as people. Everyone then joined in singing "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow" and 'took the oppor- tunity to greet the doctor and his wife. This expression of appreciation, a tribute - from the community to an, individual member, was typical of the warmth and closeness of the village, personified by the Lioness initiative in setting up the occasion. Family home for events By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - Family members of Dr. and Mary Shepherd, here to share the doctor's pleasure were his daughter Penny Johnstone from Oakville, Mary's sister Joan Shepherd from Windsor, the name is correct she married Grove's brother.

Brown Chevrolet Oldsmobile th ANNIVERSARY SALE ting crowd of to ' 24 l iurn d out for the introductory meetiu In the series of four public Imee Kanto a proposed update of the secondary pian for the village.. Reeve David Johnston says the meeting was a "general' bull session" designed to. inform the public of the purpose of the meetings and the procedures they will follow. He has assurances from a number of citizens that their absence was not from lack of concern, but, because the .meeting was of a general nature, they would wait for the more specific meetings to voice their concerns. The biggest issue raised during, the meeting was the drainage problem which has been plaguing the village for a number of years. Reeve Johnston says citizens were concerned about water lying on their properties after a rainfall a lot longer than it used to. Council has been aware of the problem for some time which stems from the tremendously high water table • in the village and the clay soil which acts as a lid permitting water from properly draining. Reeve Johnston said a number of properties are affected by the poor drainage including approximately six yards which become completely submerged after a heavy rainfall. However, most of the properties in the village are free from drainage problems. The ideal solution is to have the surface run-off drain into the lake and council has taken steps towards that goal, says Reeve Johnston. A study completed by B.M. Ross and Associates, an engineering firm from Goderich, calls for a revamping of the village's drainage system at a cost of $1.7 million which can be broken down into workable phases over a period of years, he said.

We'veved with poor drainage for a few years," said Reeve Johnston. The occupancy use blaw, which allows certain businesses to operate out of a residential area, also came under scrutiny at the meeting. Up to now, the bylaw allows businesses such as art studios and hairdressing salons to use a residential area as long as no more than 25 per cent of the floor space is used for the business. Reeve Johnston said that some people have taken advantage of the bylaw and there are By Doris Hunter BAYFIELD - The hero If the week is Bill Clark, no knight in armour, but a brave man who rescued a neighbor in distress by entering into cattle with a bat, armed only ' with , a warped badminton racquet and emerged the victor in short order. Bats are numerous this year, and advice is freely but confusingly given as to what to do when so invaded. Schools of thought vary from turning on all the lights to turning them off, opening 'the door and .turning on the porch light. All very well if you can stop quivering long enough to make it to the door. Some bats are taking up religion. Joe Mayman on taking his seat in the choir of St. Andrews Church was not amused to find one sitting q Y uietl in Ted Dunn's accustomed place.

Each member of council, excluding Reeve Johnston, will chair one of the meetings. Although the meetings are structured, he expects the meetings will be open to anything the Bayfield residents want to discuss. Resident in hospital Isabel Scott BRUCEFIELD - Mrs. Alice.

Success of Blood Donor Clinic On August 6, the Canadian Red Cross Team, with the full support of the Bayfield Lioness, were set up in the Community Cen- tre to accept donations of blood. This is the second time that this project has occurred in Bayfield, and once again it was well attended. Of the 82 would be donors, 76 were able to give blood, and this was up on last year, and proportionately higher than the response from other nearby areas. Next time the aim is to collect 100 specimens. From the time the doors opened at 5 p.m. there was a steady flow of people, some first timers, and others whose records showed that they had contributed regularly over a long period. Some competitive spirit was evidenced by the contest between Lions and Optitnists as to which group would provide the greater number of donors. Throughout the session the Lioness were on hand to work as volunteers with the Red Cross, distribute pins and certificates and provide refreshment as well as a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. vi ,fly.... ..
