CORD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 28,1
honing change sought for guest home
BAYFIELD - Council here held a public
meeting on May 20 to discuss a zoning bylaw
amendment that would permit the establish-
ment of a bed and breakfast guest horn:
Nieghbors to the concerned property
located at the corners of Jane and John
Streets attended the meeting..
The home in question, owned by Mrs.
Young, is currently zoned residential. The
owner is seeking a bylaw change to a special
residential zoning that would allow a bed
and breakfast occupation.
Under the proposal the guest home would
provide three bedrooms for a maximum of
eight overnight guests. Three parking
places would be made available for the
guests on the property.
The proposed amendment also stipulates
that exterior renovations will be limited and
that the home will maintain its residential
appearance, not a commercial one.
Cindy Fisher of the Huron County Plann-
ing Department assured council, "There
will be no commercial zoning connected
with the rezoning. It is still classified as
residential."
She further pointed out that the zoning
amendment would pertain only to the pro-
perty in question, not the entire
neighborhood. 0 the property is sold, a new
owner could also establish a bed and
breakfast operation.
She suggested that if council is not
satisfied with the operation the municipality
can set up a licensing system whereby the
owner must meet certain regulations and
annual inspections in order to obtain a year-
ly permit to operate.
In Mrs. Young's plans to operate the guest
home, she hopes to offer alternative over-
night accommodation to Bayfield visitors.
She is only interested in offering accom-
modation to guests on an overnight basis, to
a maximum of one week.
New schedule for Church of the English Martyrs
BAYFIELD - The mass schedule for the
Church of the English Martyrs in Bayfield

Sundays at 9 a.m. During July and August
services will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturdays,
and 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Sundays.
New Grandchild
Ruth George of Main Steet, Bayfield is a
grandmother for the first time. The new ar-
rival is a little girl, Miranda Nicole,
weighing 7 lb. 1 oz. born on May 16 at Scar-
borough General Hospital, and the proud
parents are Stephen and Lynee George. A
Quality of Life
Longevity is a topic on which increasing
attention has been focused, and the minister
for senior citizens has indicated that funds
are to be made available to provide better
services, especially in the home
environment.
The most obvious needs such as meals on
wheels, transport and home care and
assistance are top priorities, and these ob-
- jectives are being pursued through the ap-
propriate government machinery. It does,
of course, take time to get the machinery
operating. •
On the reverse side of the coin, aging and
some restriction of physical activity does
not necessarily mean that older people are
totally cut off from the mainstream. Such a
viewpoint applies to a very small minority.
It is unfortunate, but understandable that
some health care providers and medical
practitioners tend to interpret aging in
comparatives. Their own experience of life
to date is transferred unmodified and
therefore is not truly related to those with
whom they come in contact.
A factor that is often overlooked is that
these seniors are survivors - they have
avoided or overcome many of the diseases
current during their lifetime, as well as
those to which today's young people are all
too prone. By and large they accept the in-
convenience relative to health associated
with longevity.
The longer people live the longer they
have a voice in the community. For a start
they are voters, and the longer they survive
the longer they are able to exert influence in
the political sphere. It is worth remember-
ing that the statistical forecasts mean that
there will be a large numerical increase in
this area in the fttture.
Moves to stimulate, and utilize the ex-
perience of our peers means an enriched
quality of life for them, and untold benefits
for the younger generation who themselves
will receive the ultimate benefits when their
turn comes.
One example of the enthusiasm of older
people for widening horizons and enjoying
privileges not available in their own youth is
participation in correspondence and other
courses offered through universities and the
elderhostel programs. Time and again prac-
tical and valuable input in current affairs is
demonstrated, especially in relation to ser-
vice clubs, Churchwork and local activities,
Such evidence confounds traditional and er-
roneous attitudes with regard to our seniors.
Harbouraires perform at St. Andrew's
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Highlights of the week was
the stirring concert presented by the Har-
bouraires on May 25 in St. Andrew's United
Church. We have to travel to other com-
munities, as a normal procedure if we wish
to hear good music. Thus it was a joy to
listen to this excellent choir of 30 men, who
love to sing and share their talents with the
public.
The Harbouraires were formed in 1947
and are members of the Associated Male
Choruses of Ontario and travel to many
places during the year, singing with other
groups and in concert themselves.
Jean Dunn welcomed them on behalf of
the Board of Sessions of St. Andrew's and
the president of the choir, Jim Coulter, in-
troduced the conductor Lorne Dotterer, and
gave a brief outline of the songs the choir
would sing, wisely keeping it brief and
covering three numbers at a time. Pianist
Paul Howe understood the role of accom-
paniest well, always in the background but
so essential for good singing. The program
was nicely varied, all familiar but not
hackneyed. One felt concerned at the pro -

spect of hearing Paul Robson's classic '01

Baird. His splendid bass voice was a joy to
hear in solo.
Two tenors, Bill Chase and Dave Medley,
sang a duet, and very beautifully, the hymn
How Great Thou Art which has been record-
ed over 150 times.
John DeJager's rendition of a beloved
song, The Holy City, had the audience on
their feet for a standing ovation, well
merited indeed.
This is a very disciplined choir of men

Fireworks Display.
Thinking of our beloved .country we must
give- a tip of the hat ,to the Optimist Club,
who with the help of the Bayfield
Firefighters, will once again produce a
fireworks display on Canada Day Weekend.
These affairs cost a ',lot of money, so be
generous, when you are canvassed for a
donation.
We got rid of a lot of debris this week,
when Chamney's picked -up an amazing col-
lection of assorted trash. While you're still
in a house cleaning mood, line up a big dopa-
tion for the Pioneer Park Association's An-
nual Rummage Sale. Pat Muratori is con-
venor this year and is determined to make it
one of the best.
Rummage to one person can be a treasure
to others.
We are all collectors of one kind or
another. We knew of one clever lady, who
had a plate rail around her living room
walls. It wascharming, laden with odd
saucers bought at rummage sales, more in-
teresting than unaffordable collector's
plates .- so donate, your next door neighbor
could easily need just that article you're so
bored with.
Church NMws
The churches are certainly a presence in
community life. The Bumper of cars around
the Catholic and Presbytkrian churches at-
test to the need for them to be open for
worship. ..
On June 1 the Baptist congregation will
have a visiting speaker, dart De Boer, who
is a missionary from Japan. St. Andrew's is
having a tea party and bake sale, on May 31
from 2:30 to 4, to which all are invited.
Trinity Church celebrated the Patronal
Festival on May 25 with Bob Elkins as guest
speaker. A pot -luck luncheon was enjoyed
after the service.
The Antiques Fair sponsored by this
church on August 8, 9 and .10 is well on its
way. There is only space left for a few
dealers with a number already wanting
space for 1987. Pat and Wynn Graham have
returned from a memorable visit with their
daughter Barbara and her >yamily. Pat said
Expo was great, but best of all was time
spent with their two little granddaughters.

ed the 0.L. Bakery, taking the "O.L." from
the fact that it is located in what was the
former Orange Lodge Building. We had, at
one time, a thriving organization with head-
quarters there and on July 12 it was a sight
to see the leader, King Billy, on his white
horse, with the fife and drum going non stop,
following in a wagon behind. Somehow the
Battle of the Boyne no longer seems impor-
tant to younger people, so membership in
Bayfield disappeared.
Bill Parker, a member, is still with us,
whistling Cheerfully as is, his custom;' and-
will be glad to see the building• refurbished
and serving a useful purpose.
All the staff are Bayfield residents and the
goods will be baked right there in the'new
ovens with delicious aroma floating out the
door. Best Wishes to these enterprising
Bayfielders.
Villagers offer their sympathy to Grant
Turner and his family on the death of his
father, Fred, this week. Mr. Turner must
have had many memories to share with his
grandchildren, as he lived through so many
eventful times in almost 100 years.
