BAYFIELD READS RETURNS TO TOWN HALL
The countdown is now on for Bayfield Reads! This tradition corresponds with CBC’s Canada Reads. Just as they will do on the National level, Bayfield will choose their winner for this annual event determining the results with the help of a slate of local defenders.
And for the first time since prior to the pandemic, Bayfield Reads will be live and in person. People are invited to attend the event to be held at the Bayfield Town Hall on Sunday, March 26 starting at 2 p.m.
This year’s defenders are: Dave MacLaren, Judy Whittaker, Tina Bax, Kristin Strang and Tyler Hessel. In the weeks leading up to Bayfield Reads, these defenders and the books they are defending will be profiled in the Bayfield Breeze starting with Dave MacLaren.
MacLaren is a retired IT executive who found his way to Bayfield through sailing. He has lived in a wonderful Bayfield heritage property for the past 25 years. MacLaren has read most of his life. He belongs to a Squash Club and joins other squash players in a book club. They have read every type of book and remarkably are now on their 89th. MacLaren will be defending “Ducks” by Kate Beaton.
Ducks is an autobiographical graphic novel that recounts author Kate Beaton’s time spent working in the Alberta oil sands. With the goal of paying off her student loans. Beaton leaves her tight-knit seaside Nova Scotia community and heads west, where she encounters harsh realities, including the everyday trauma that no one discusses.
Tickets to Bayfield Reads will be $5 at the door and refreshments are included.

DILUTE CALICO UP FOR ADOPTION
BFF has so many wonderful cats and kittens looking for their forever families right now.
Gina is the Adopt a BFF cat of the week.
This lovely Dilute Calico came to the Rescue with five adorable newborn babies.
Deb Penhale, representing BFF explained, “She was found with her litter shortly after giving birth. The kind person who found her had to untangle the babies from their birthing sack as two had become entangled and her quick actions saved them. She then contacted us immediately.”
Gina was brought in with her adorable litter. She proved to be an excellent mother.
“She was proud to show off her crew and allowed us to handle the babies but was a bit nervous about being touched herself,” said Penhale. “Once she became more comfortable in her surroundings she warmed up and is now happy to have attention lavished upon her.”
According to Penhale, Gina likes to be up high and watches what is going on during the kittens’ naptime. She loves ear scratches and chin rubs and will offer up her tummy with those she feels comfortable with. She is also a great conversationalist and will respond when spoken to.
To learn more about adopting Gina please contact BFF via email at bayfieldsforgottenfelines@gmail.com for more information. The adoption fee is now $200. Adopted cats are vetted, shots are up-to-date and they are also spayed or neutered. Not able to adopt but still want to help? Donations are always gratefully accepted and can be e-transferred to the email above.

SOCIETAL IMPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOPIC OF LECTURE

Participants in the 21st Virtual Lecture Series hosted by Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health were clockwise from top left: Leslie Walker, Jay McFarlan, Geneva Neal and Stefan Salcher. (Submitted photo)
On Tuesday, Feb. 7, Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health (Gateway) hosted their 21st Virtual Lecture Series discussing “Societal Implications of Artificial Intelligence”.
The lecture was moderated by Gateway Chair Dan Stringer and hosted by keynote speaker Leslie Walker. She is a Research Associate at Gateway, as well as a Management Consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers and a Doctorate of Social and Economic Sciences Student at the University of Technology in Vienna, Austria.
Additionally, the event featured panelists: Sr. Data Analyst with Creative Destruction Lab at the University of Toronto, Geneva Neal; CEO of Druckster and Founder of Young Entrepreneurs of Vienna, Austria, Stefan Salcher; and Gateway Research Chair of Rural Nutrition and Exercise, Jay McFarlan.
Walker shared a quote from her study:
“The greatest challenge facing societies and firms would be utilizing the benefits of availing artificial intelligence technologies, providing vast opportunities for both new products/services and immense productivity improvements while avoiding the dangers and disadvantages in terms of increased unemployment and greater wealth inequalities.”
Walker presented her studies related to her current research as a Doctoral Student which focuses on policies to reduce the inequality associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in healthcare. As such, she spoke to her research conclusions being highly relevant to rural regions such as Huron County.
Within Walker’s presentation she states five key benefits of AI in healthcare being: reduced patient wait times, more efficient healthcare practices, improved accuracy of diagnoses, improved communication and coordination, and substantial cost savings. Within these findings, Walker’s goal was to carry out a case study rationalization approach in hopes of utilizing the benefits of AI while avoiding the disadvantages.
Walker then led the conversation with a panel discussion, giving each an opportunity to comment on the presentation.
Neal raised the point being that there is plenty of opportunity to utilize AI however there is also plenty of infrastructure that needs to be done to fully take advantage of these opportunities.
From a serial entrepreneur’s perspective, Salcher spoke about startups incorporating AI in many of the tasks that they do. Additionally, he spoke to the question: is AI going to take people’s jobs? He stated that he actually believes the opposite will happen – AI failing in some cases due to lack of human interaction.
Lastly, Jay McFarlan weighed in with his perspective as a technology hobbyist by pointing out the use of AI within Microsoft Teams as an example of automatically generating meeting minutes which reduces stress of an employee having to take them and finalize them during or after the fact.
Walker wrapped up the conversation by expressing that AI is similar to a sliding scale in regards to opportunity and risk; however it can be highly beneficial, if used correctly.
People are invited to watch the full virtual version of this lecture by visiting the: Gateway YouTube Channel.
All are invited to attend the next Gateway Rural Health Lecture on Tuesday, March 7 at noon. People can join by going to: Gateway Rural Health Lecture Series Registration. The next lecture will feature speaker Scott Brown. He will be speaking to the theme, “Gateway: At the Intersection of Organization and Place”.
Gateway recognizes their generous donors for their support of this lecture series.
HURON PERTH RESIDENTS OFFERED GUIDANCE ON ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
In January, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction released Canada’s Guidance on Alcohol and Health. The guidance replaces the 2011 Low-Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines. It is based on the latest research into alcohol as a risk factor for injuries, violence, and several chronic diseases (including cancer, heart disease and stroke). Data show that alcohol consumption causes nearly 7,000 deaths from cancer each year in Canada.
“The more drinks you have weekly, the greater the risk of alcohol-related harms,” said Lindsay O’Donnell, Public Health promoter at Huron Perth Public Health (HPPH). “The best way to reduce your risk is to lower your alcohol use. No matter how much alcohol you currently consume, drinking less is better for your health.”
The updated advice supports people to make informed decisions about the amount of alcohol they consume. It outlines a continuum of risk associated with weekly alcohol use:
- Zero drinks per week, zero health risk. (Not drinking has many health benefits, including better sleep.)
- One to two standard drinks per week is considered low risk.
- Three to six standard drinks per week is a moderate risk. (Risk of developing several types of cancer, including breast and colon cancer, increases.)
- Seven or more standard drinks per week is an increasingly high risk. (Risk of heart disease or stroke increases.)
- With every additional drink, the risk of alcohol-related consequences, including injuries and violence, increases.
- When pregnant or trying to get pregnant, there is no known safe amount of alcohol. When breastfeeding, having no alcohol is safest.
Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (2015-2020) shows that 26 per cent of Huron Perth residents aged 19 and older self-report consuming alcohol at a high risk level for alcohol-related consequences. This is more than the Ontario average of 21 per cent. Seventeen percent of local residents report having three to six drinks per week, while 38 per cent report having zero drinks in the past week. Compared to Ontario, fewer Huron Perth residents consume alcohol at a zero, low or moderate risk level.
Lower consumption means a lower risk of alcohol-related harm. No matter where a person places on the continuum, less alcohol is better. Anyone thinking about how they can reduce their risk should take stock of how many standard drinks they have in a week. In Canada, a standard drink is:
- Beer (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol)
- Cider or cooler (12 oz., 341 ml, 5% alcohol)
- Wine (5 oz., 142 ml, 12% alcohol)
- Spirits (1.5 oz., 43 ml, 40% alcohol)
Anyone who is looking for support to reduce alcohol consumption can talk to their health care provider; Call 2-1-1 or visit 211ontario.ca for social services, programs and community support; visit HPPH Community Services for addiction support services and other resources.
PUBLIC HEALTH
HPPH is changing how it displays local COVID-19 information for Huron-Perth. Up until this point, they have been updating their own dashboards on COVID-19 testing, cases and vaccination; now, similar weekly information for Huron Perth region is also available through Public Health Ontario’s: COVID-19 and Influenza Activity dashboard.
While HPPH prepares a new way to display local information on respiratory illness that will be the most helpful to residents, the previous Tableau dashboards will not be updated.
Public Health Ontario’s dashboard includes a wide range of COVID-19 data about Huron Perth, including case counts by hospitalizations and deaths, vaccine uptake by age, sex and public health unit, outbreaks, and more.
LUTHERAN CHURCH
St Peter’s Lutheran Church in Zurich will be hosting a Pancake Supper on Feb. 21. Potato and flour pancakes will be featured on the menu along with some yummy sausages!
Meal service will be provided from 5-7 p.m. The meals will be provided for a free-will offering with the proceeds being given to the Huron Perth United Way and Huron Homeless.
St. Peter’s Lutheran Church is located at 22 Goshen Line in Zurich.
LIVERY FILM FEST
The Livery Film Fest continues with two more films booked to share with movie buffs. They will present “Revival69: The Concert That Rocked The World” on Feb. 16 and “Living” on March 23.
Revival69 is a documentary describing how a Toronto rock concert was languishing until the organizer reached out to John Lennon at the last minute. He was hoping that Lennon would act as master of ceremonies for the event, but Lennon agreed to come only if he and Yoko Ono could play. The concert was headlined by the Doors and included Alice Cooper, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. Lennon brought Eric Clapton and other musicians to fill out the Plastic Ono Band.
The film features interviews with Alice Cooper, Rush’s Geddy Lee, plus recently discovered archival footage. Theatre-goers can relive the whirlwind chaos leading up to the festival, and the aftermath where Lennon broke up the Beatles immediately after the show.
“Living” stars Bill Nighy in an Oscar nominated role as a British Civil Servant forced to re-evaluate his life choices after a medical diagnosis. He tries to cram as much fun as he can into his previously staid life. In addition to Nighy’s Best Actor nomination, the film is also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. The film has played at both the Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, where it has been described as “uplifting” and “deeply moving” and the actors as “pitch-perfect”.
Both films will be shown at the Park Theatre, located at 30 Courthouse Square in Goderich and begin at 7 p.m.
A new opportunity at the Film Fest is a film talk to be held immediately after the shows at Paddy O’Neil’s Restaurant Pub. The pub is located in the Bedford Hotel at 92 Courthouse Square.’

HURON COUNTY MUSEUM
REMEMBER THIS
The Huron County Museum is home to thousands of artifacts that illustrate the history of both the rural and urban populations of the area. Space dictates what wonderful curiosities the public regularly gets to see when they visit the museum located at 110 North Street in Goderich. But where there is wifi, there is an opportunity to time-travel with over 6,700 pieces of the museum’s collection now available to view online at huroncountymuseum.pastperfectonline.com.
“Remember This” highlights items from the collection of the Huron County Museum and Historic Gaol. Items that have shaped the fabric of the county and the people who have lived here since before the county became the county in 1835 up until more recent times.
This week, as an homage to the hearts, flowers and chocolates season we take a closer look at a special piece in the museum’s collection…
COCOA SERVING SET
This is a cocoa (chocolate) serving set that was once owned by Margaret and Wesley Walker who resided on Colborne Street in Goderich.
Information provided in the archives concentrates on the cocoa (chocolate) pot in this set. The label on the bottom of the cocoa pot has a crown and banner that reads: “AYNSLEY ENGLAND BONE CHINA” ” 602/1″. The body of the pot has raised ridges that go in a diagonal swirl and the spout has a fancy filigree where it attaches to the pot. The spout has gold trim with white interior. There is also gold trim around the opening of the mouth of the pot as well as the handle.

RECALLING THE ERA WHEN COWS FREELY ROAMED THE VILLAGE COMMONS
Editor’s Note: In August of 2022, a pristine, white, horse drawn landau handcrafted many years ago at the Bayfield Wagon and Carriage Works by business founder the late Tom Penhale was returned to the village to become an asset for the community.
Since that time several groups, the Bayfield Lions Club, Bayfield Historical Society, Friends of Bayfield Library, and representatives from the Bayfield and Area Chamber of Commerce have been working together to create a plan for storage and display of the landau.
They are considering creating a replica of a small traditional “two-cow barn” in the backyard of the Bayfield Archives and Heritage Centre on Main Street. Although the project is still in its infancy, volunteers have been exploring the history behind these unique barns and are pleased to share their findings with our readers this week along with a few photos of the barns that still exist in the area today.
STORY BY BILL ROWAT, DAVE GILLIANS, PHIL GEMEINHARDT PHOTOS BY JACK PAL
From the mid 1800s well into the early 1900s, the number of farm animals living in the old village of Bayfield far outnumbered the human inhabitants.
Horses were used for transportation and farm chores; cows, pigs, chickens and ducks were used for milk, eggs, and meat. Most were confined to barns and pens. But cows were allowed to roam freely to graze on “village commons” like Clan Gregor Square and church properties. Pickett fences kept wandering cows out of villagers’ vegetable gardens.
To house these animals, many of the village homes in the early days had what was known colloquially as a “two-cow barn”. There are no exact records but during this era there may have been as many as 30 to 40 of these barns. The earliest barns were post and beam construction with rough board sides and shingled roofs and resting on dirt floors; later versions were built on poured concrete pads; a few even had concrete walls. Many were two stories – large animals below, chicken coops and hay storage above.
Today there are still at least a dozen of these old barns peppered throughout the village on such streets as: Bayfield Terrace, Victoria Place, and Colina, Louisa, Anne, Chiniqui, Main and Keith Crescent. Possibly the best known is the barn behind The Village Bookshop on Main Street which has been through many transformations – most recently as a summer art gallery and painting venue.
The cohabitation of livestock and people often caused friction in the village.
The newspaper, The Clinton New Era, dated Sept. 6, 1895 reported, “At the last meeting of the Bayfield council a step forward was taken in the history of our village, by the ordering of a plank sidewalk to be laid on Anne Street…By reason of the very quietness of this street cattle etc, congregate [by the Methodist, later Catholic, Church] largely with the result that it is hardly possible to find a clean passage through it on Sunday, and at night many persons have been deterred from attending Church Services.”
Wandering cows continued to be a nuisance. In June 1897, the Clinton News Era reported, “Notices were put up about a week ago stating that after June 1st, persons allowing cattle, horses, etc. to run at large within the corporation, would be prosecuted. On Tuesday, four of our worthy residents were hauled before the Reeve and got off with costs.”
Nevertheless, many villagers continued to fight off the inevitable until the 1920s. In the London Free Press, 1927, columnist Arthur Ford reported the demise of free roaming, “(Even though) it was felt that the summer visitors in their opposition to the roaming cows were interfering with the sacred rights and privileges of the villagers,…modernism in the end however triumphed.”
It was the end of an era!

Some things are bigger than cancer. Community is one of them.
Corry James, the son of Bayfield residents Jeff and Donna Kish, has been battling cancer for a few years now. Prior to the pandemic he moved to Goderich from Alberta to be closer to his parents. I have had the pleasure of meeting him on two occasions both times while volunteering at the Bayfield Optimist Club’s Breakfast with Santa. Corry has a magnetic personality. He exudes kindness and positivity – terminal illness be damned!
Last week Corry received news from his doctors that no one ever wants to hear – his time is limited. But he’s still fighting. A life-long musician and fan of good old Rock and Roll his motto has always been “Horns On”. His definition being “fighting with all your might”. He has asked people to send him pictures of themselves posing, making the hand gesture, to not only brighten his day but boost positivity in the world. Very recently his friends in Calgary were on CTV news sharing his story, rallying the community to lift his spirits. To view this video visit: Horns On for Corry. I invite Bayfield and surrounding residents to strike a pose and send their own pictures to corrywith2rs@gmail.com. He is collecting these images in an album on his Facebook page and currently has over 300 but the more the merrier.
