Bayfield lZagIe
A LETTER FROM DORIS
Visitors dress in style
By Doris Hunter
HAYFIELD - • Main Street Bayfield was a
massive parade of people on Saturday, all
gussie(1 up for a weekend in uur old fashion-
ed country village. White shorts
predominated as dictated by fashion, so
regardless of shape, "the long and the short
and the tall" were properly dressed for the
occasion. Hayfield has certainly been
discovered.
'l'he Directors of the Ontario Development
Corporation, discovered Hayfield too. They
held a meeting at the Little Inn on Wednes-
day, to which a few villagers were invited to
attend the luncheon. It was most interesting
to hear what this government group is all
about. Loans for small businesses are
available. It is the aim of the Corporation to
stimulate the economy, this creating
employment opportunities. Each director
took particular pleasure in talking about our
hospitable and charming community, very
pleasant to hear.
We are Certainly, "in the news" a
magazine called Ontario Living is cir-
culated throughout the provinces. The cur-
rent issue, features an excellent article writ-
ten by a very well known journalist Dorothy
Sangster, is all about our town. Dorothy is
no stranger to Hayfield, having visited here
over the years, sinces she was at. college
with Betty Gairdner, whose family home
now belongs to Charles and Anneke Rogers.
Her very nice introduction to the story is a
tribute to Harry Baker, whose memoirs she
enjoyed so greatly. ..
1larry''s book is unique, folk history. writ-
ten from the heart in Harry's own inimitable
style. Ile had to go intu a second printing to
meet the demand. Ruth George. has Baine
• for sale, and of course Harry will be glad to
sign your copy, if you wish to stop by the
house and buy a copy from hire. 'They'll soon
be gone, excellent Christmas souvenir's of
Bayfield.
The Hayfield History book is selling well
two. Published by the Historical Society, it is
available at the Archives Room, the Village
(;uild and 'Times and Places.

ANNUAL MEETING
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8 at 10 A.M.
at Pioneer Park, Bayfield
Mr. and Mrs. William Armstrong enjoyed
the visit of Dr and Mrs. Ronald Harris and
their family, here from Timmins. Dr. Har-
ris was one of the student ministers at Knox
Presbyterian Church. He made many
friends during his stay with us.
Congratulations to John and Kathleen
Siertsema, on their 25th wedding anniver-
sary'. A reception was held at John's school
near Brucefield.
The Siertsemas are known to us all, if we
were to list their activities in the village, it
would fill my letter. They are the kind of
people, who make this village "tick".
Anne Hoekstra will be haoov to take ad-
vance orders for bunches of gladioli, which
the Lioness will be selling at the Bayfield
Fair, August 21 and 22. The Huron Perth
Epilepsy Chapter, hopes to raise money in
this way and the Lioness as usual, try to help
this worthy cause.
The Pizza Palace has changed its name.
There are now very tasteful signs calling it
simply "Harry's" after the owner Harry
MacDonald. It certainly is a more attractive
name, Pizza Palace was so limiting.
Right next door, there is an array of
bicycles, for sale or for rent. Bicycles are a
must in Bayfield. Perhaps we could become
like Bermuda and ban motor cars from the
village streets. It is now a hair-raising ex-
perience to cross Highway 21 at any point in
town. Friday I simply gave up and went to
Stratford instead.
Trinity Anglican Church, welcomed their
Rector, the Rev. Aubrey Bell back from his
holidays in Scotland'. He is just in time to
give his support and blessing, to the great
big effort of his congregation, the Bayfield
Antique Fair. It will be held Friday evening
from 7 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8
p.m. andSunday from 10 to 8 p.m.
Virtually every member of the Church is
involved in this enterprise. If you haven't
been given a job, you should call the con-
venor, Doris Hunter.

for a costume parade that travelled around Clan Gregor Square.

Society learns about Children's Law Reform Act
By Helen Owen
HAYFIELD - The making of laws and
their implementation are two aspects which
have played a major role in the history of
mankind, safeguarding interests of groups
and individuals, maintaining values and
establishing areas of responsibility.

However, as was pointed out by Norman
Pickell, lawyer from Goderich, who ad-
dressed the Bayfield Historical Society on
July 27, changes in society result in revision,
amendment and extension. As examples he
quoted the three statutes which govern the
law of separation and divorce - the
Children's Law Reform Act of Ontario, the
Family Law Act 1986 of Ontario, and the
Divorce Act of Canada.
One of the most dramatic changes over re-
cent years, said Mr. Pickell, was the
breakdown of marriage, estimated by some
statisticians as something like 50 per cent.
In order to handle the complicated problems
associated with marital failure, Mr. Pickell
had produced a most informative booklet,
copies of which he kindly circulated at the
meeting. Reasons for break up ranged over
a wide area and could be found in every age
group from late teens to 70 year olds.
With the ever increasing evidence of con-
flict with which he was confronted, Mr.
Pickell recommended that serious con-
sideration should be given to marriage con-
tracts and agreements which could be of
practical advantage when separation and
divorce became inevitable. He also referred
to what might be done in the way of recon-
ciliation by way of marriage counselling.
However, said Mr. Pickell, where
children of a relationship were involved ser-
ving their best interests with regard to
custody and access was of vital importance,
and it was not always easy to ensure that
they were not exploited.
Interpretation of new legislation, up-
dating and definition, meant that the legal
profession must constantly apprise
themselves of the changes affecting their
clients. These related to such matters as
debts and assets. gifts and bequests to the
respective parties. the matrimonial home or
maybe an existing business partnership bet-
ween spouses. With reitard to financial s,uP

port, Mr. Pickell •said this had to be dealt
with on a very practical basis taking into
consideration the willingness to pay, and the
ability to do so of the party concerned.
A period of separation did offer both par-
ties a period in which to consider all the
aspects involved, for the emotional intensity
to lessen, and then if divorce was the only
solution, for the marriage to be dissolved.
Mr. Pickell also touched on the impor-
tance of making a proper will and the defini-
tion of some of the terms used in the
process.
The talk concluded with questions from
the audience and Mrs. Doris Reddoch,
whose son Alan had brought Mr. Pickell to
Hayfield as a visitor some years ago, thank-
ed hire for this practical and up -dated
glimpse of legal practice.
President, Doris Hunter reminded .those
present to complete and return the question-
naire which had been circulated with regard
to the future of the Old Town Hall, and Ed
Oddleifson asked if anyone would like to
claim the two garden chairs which had been
left with him following the launching of the
Hayfield Historical book.
Ottawa Wedding
This past weekend has been a special one
for the Rev. and Mrs. George Youmatoff.
On August I, their granddaughter, Kate
Mackenzie was married to Kevin Crooks in
Ottawa. I No doubt many Bayfield residents
will remember Kate and her twin sister
Judy the red-headed twins. who have spent
many suiruner vacations in Bayfield over
the years.
It was truly a family occasion with the
bride's grandfather and her newly ordained
uncle officiating at St. Matthews' Church in
Ottawa.
Seniors Up -Date
At the most recent meeting of the steering
committee organized to support Senior
Citizen Programs in Bayfield plans were
discussed to complete the arrangements for
the first Wheels to Meals luncheon at the
Community ('entre on August 19. It is not ton
late for anyone wishing to take part and en-
quiries should he directed to Bev Brown.
Town and Country Homemakers, telephone
1-800-265-3039.
In view of the fact that Wednesday is not
considered the most suitable day because of
discount shopping. subsequent meals will be
served on Thursday through to the end of
October as it is felt that this will be more
convenient for patrons. Mrs. Brown
reported that volunteers who had responded
to the original circular letter had been inter-
viewed and that she was most impressed by
their co-operative and willing involvement.
A few more were still required to share the
luncheon rota and perhaps the change of
day may make this possible. If so. please
call Mrs. Brown
Watch out for more Seniors' news next
week.
