A LETTER FROM DORIS
Grandchildren in
By Doris Hunter
BAYFIELD - Grandchildren are in the
news this week. Gwen Pemberton is trying
to be modest about her first great grand-
child who has been named in her honor
Gwendolyn Ainsley Catharine, by the
parents Mr. and Mrs. Tony Pemberton of
Waterloo. We trust she inherits Gwen's
dimples as well as the name.
Jack and Peg Willock were in Toronto
over the weekend to attend the christening
of their fourth grandson, Michael Thomas, a
family name there too; Peg's father was
'Phomas Orr, one of the Visionaries, respon-
sible for that splendid park land in Stratford
where the Festival theatre now stands. Con-
gratulations to parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Douglas Willock.
Our business people are realizing how
much the visitors to our town are looking for
that sense of history on heritage designated
area should provide. Charles and Sari
Machen of Focus now display their gift
items on fine old pieces of antique furniture
from Rob and Karen Lyon's, characters and
collecibles treasures on Highway 21, just
south of the village; for sale of course.
Joshua Nathan, newly opened on Main
Street, brought a shipment of antique
dressers, cupboards and so forth, on which
to show their designer clothes to advantage.
Imagine the surprise when Shery Tomlin-
son, manager, looked inside a fine glass top-
per walnut display counter to find the ad-
dress, for the Dresser Brothers' Service Sta-
tion Bayfield! Willard Dresser is still alive,
in Goderich hospital, where his faithful
briend, Harry Baker, visits and cares for
the needs of this old school friend of his.
The Dresser Brothers, Hales and Willard,
were strong supporters of the Pioneer Park
Association, driving their truck about town
on their own to pick up donations for the
rummage sale until Harry, Bill Parker and
Rob Hunter joined the crew. It was Hales
who suggested to the convenor, the move
from the town hall, also now closed, to the
arena and it has just grown bigger and big-
ger each year.
1987 marks the 40th Pioneer Park Rum-
mage Sale, which promises to be one of the
best.
Treasure hunters will be out 'looking for
finds of all kinds. Connie West stocks anti-
ques as welras fine wools in her shop West
Winds. She finds that people are hunting for
items popular in the 1940s and '50s - things
sure to turn up at the sale.
Connie Graham is soon to be home in her
apartment at the Clan Gregor building.
Anxious times for Elizabeth and Matthew
Smith as an 11 -year-old daughter, Tanya,
lost control of her bicycle, while riding on
Highbury Road in London, collided with a
car and is very badly injured.
It is conference time for our churches. Mr.
Hoekstra has been in Sault Ste Marie to at-
tend that of the United Church.
the news
Mr. Aubrey Bell and the lay delegate,
Matthew Smith from Trinity, have been at-
tending the Synod of the Diocese of Huron in
London.
On May 31, the concert by the New
Huronia singers will be held at St. Andrew's,
adults tickets are $4 and children under 12,
$2.
Alison Dunn who performed in the Central
Huron Secondary School play, Scapino, was
successful in her audition with the Huron
Country Playhouse. Best wishes to Alison.
The Trinity Church Women will be enter-
taining the good folk at the Bluewater home
in Zurich, on May 27.
We wil have news about our splendid new
History of Bayfield, next week, some copies
of which have already arrived. The
Historical Society is very proud of the fine
book the committee has produced.
On Wednesday evening, Shirley Couillard
from Kitchener gave a microwave cooking
class at St: Andrews United Church. Among
some of the things she cooked using the new
ultra 21 Tupperware dishes were
strawberry jam, a noodle casserole,
chocolate squares, liver, bacon and Cordon
Blue just to name a few.
Over 70 attended and everyone was able to
take home a few hints, making it an en-
joyable night for the UCW.
As they say on the radio, That's the news.
Meeting to be held concerning heritage
By Helen Owen
BAYFIELD - During 1987 a Heritage
Policy Review is being launched through the
Ministry of Citizenship and Culture and with
the assistance of the Ontario Heritage
Foundation.
In Ontario heritage encompasses many
areas from natural resources to records of
human achievement as well as inherited
customs and traditions. Such a project re-
quires extensive input - in order. that every
aspect may be considered in the process.
From May 4 to June 25, 26 meetings are
being held in various parts of the province.
Next week a meeting is being held on May 27
starting at 7 p.m. in the Livery, Goderich.
The Village of Bayfield has reason to be
proud of its efforts to conserve its heritage
and representatives of the I,ACAC intend
to be present.
A discussion paper has been prepared by
the Ministry and answers to the questions
arising from this will be sought at each of
the series of meetings. The questions are
highly relevant, some of which have already
been encountered, some resolved, and
others still pose problems.
For many people the conservation of
heritage is a sacred trust while for others it
has little, or no meaning. Whatever your
opinion, attendance at the meeting on May
27 might help to clear up misapprehensions,
and certainly the expression of a viewpoint,
whatever it may be, should prove a valuable
contribution towards finding better and
more comprehensive ways of "Giving Our
Past a Future".
Ever Young Club News
My apologies to the Ever Young Club with
regard to the delay in reporting their
meetings in March and April, but for the
record the highlights are now included.

violinists.

Bend your knees, save your back
"Ohhh, my aching back!" A poor lifting
technique can lead to a painful back injury,
a common experience among farmers. A
bad back is often the result of an accumula-
tion of unsafe lifts. When your back does
give out, you could be in agony. The cardinal

Bayfield now has a pharmacy where they can get prescriptions filled. The Village Phar-
macy's Sundry Shoppe, located on the main street, offers a little of everything for shop-
pers. Here Doug Mitchell, who will be working at the Bayfield store on and off during the
summer, is pictured in one of the three rooms. (Anne Narejko photo)
Village Pharmacy offers
more than just medicine
By Anne Narejko
BAYFIELD - Main Street here will have
one more attraction to offer shoppers this
year, and that is the Village Pharmacy's
Sundry Shoppe located beside the Little Inn.
Inside, the usual pharmacy items can be
found, but there will also be greeting cards,
perfumed soaps, candles, drinking glasses,
trays and a variety of other gift items.
"One thing we have to do is get the people
to walk through the building," said Nubby
Purdy, the son of owner Ron Purdy.
The store consists of three rooms - the two
front rooms carrying pharmacy items and
the back room housing the gift articles.
The Bayfield store is one of several owned
by the Purdy's. The main store is in Port
Credit with others in Beamsville, the
Woodlands area and Mississauga. Bayfield
was chosen as a location for another store
simply because there was no pharmacy in
the village.
"My father drives around and the first
thing he notices is if the place has a phar-
macy or not. Then he tries to discover if one
could operate there," said Mr. Purdy.
Those wishing to order prescription drugs
may do so at the new pharmacy.
"If they place their order here before 1 or
2 p.m. we can usually get it to them the next
day," said Mr. Purdy, explaining that they
phone the Port Credit store and then have it
delivered to Bayfield via courier.
As for the operating hours of the store,
Mr. Purdy says they will be determine by
the customers' dema 'rls.
"For the first part the weel 11 pro-
bably open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. 1' or the se-
cond part we'll open at 10 a.m. until
whenever. We don't have any definite hours
yet," said Mr. Purdy who said they are hop-
ing to stay open during the winter months as
well.
