Bayfield. (Submitted photo)
As funding is now being sought for a new Farm Animal Display Building in Agriculture Park,
long-time members of the Bayfield Agricultural Society (BAS) find themselves reminiscing
about the myriad of uses the soon to be retired building once had.

The Old MacDonald's Farm Petting Zoo is always a popular stop for youngsters exploring the Bayfield
Community Fair. (Photos by Melody Falconer -Pounder)
The Petting Zoo Building was originally the "Poultry Building" and each year it rang with crows
and quacks and honking. The variety of bird species displayed were polished and groomed to a
high shine and were a delight to behold. When the number of entries diminished, Mr. Pepper
was contracted to bring his collection of show birds, and they too were beautiful. After Mr.
Pepper retired (or died) we would put one or two animals in the building for the children to look
at. Tom Penhale would bring his sister, Eleanor's donkeys and there might be a calf or a pig as
well.
When we decided to "get serious" about the "Petting Zoo", we had Jim Koene and his crew
retrofit the building. They made proper box stalls with gates in front and they redesigned the old
food display cupboards with chicken wire between the sections and wire in the front doors.
These had been painted white and were quite tidy looking. The cement floor could be swept
clean and added to its use for small animals. We contacted people with animals; a lady who
displayed llamas, a girl with rabbits, and at one time the owners of emus.
At this time one of our most enthusiastic directors was Carol Rome McArthur who made sure
that her son at the "Pleasant Pheasant" brought animals to the pet display. One was a beautiful
three-quarter size pony who was given the stall at the window and would neigh his critical
comments to the horses going by in the parade. He won People's Choice by a landslide vote!
Another was a veal calf named "Freezer" that we immediately renamed "Frazer"! A trio of goats
also arrived from the "Pleasant Pheasant" to help fill the stalls.
At that time, we contracted for a pony ride which consisted of four ponies that were fastened to
a ring and travelled round and round. At night these ponies came into the pet display building
much to the ire of Eeyore, the donkey, who would stand up on his hind legs and bray.
One year a mother donkey and her baby were part of the display. This baby was a complete
favorite of young and old. One gentleman sat patting him all evening, and when it was time to
close, his wife said, "just turn off the lights and shut the doors, - I'll come and get him in the
morning." Then she turned and left followed by the bemused husband.
The baby had another moment of fame when it was time for him to go home. The owner led the
mother out of the barn and said that the baby would follow. "I don't think so" thought the young
rascal and cantered smartly toward the show ring. We all formed a circle around the little fellow

EMPTIES FOR
ALZIIIEF"RS
Dianne Brandon, Carrie and Ava Sabourin would like
to remind everyone preparing for holiday gatherings
that their tradition of collecting empties for
Alzheimer's Disease is continuing this year.

and closed in. When he returned to his mother, the owner tucked him under his arm and carried
him to the truck. End of argument!
"These comments from Doreen do not include the fact that the large picture depicting Old
MacDonald's Farm displayed on the building was painted by her," said Doug Yeo, a BAS past -
president. "Another very unique feature of the old building is the locking mechanism that Tom
Penhale devised. No one could ever figure out how it worked until you were shown the first
time. It is hoped that by next year the new building will begin the process of generating new
stories."
The BAS is seeking the community's support to assist with the funding to replace the Farm
Animal Display building in Agricultural Park. The BAS has been working on this project for over
a year and a half. This building will be identical in size with a dry storage (15x20') attachment.
This additional space will accommodate a secure office location for the days of the fair and
storage the remainder of the year.
It is a $85,000 project. Since last week there is less than $20,000 to raise. This past week one
non-resident donor said three generations of his family have attended the fair and he wanted to
contribute. His family has appreciated the efforts the BAS has made over the years to organize
the fair and all the activities involved. Another donor challenged others to donate and he would
match donations up to $2,500.
KIM
Members of the Bayfield Agricultural Society are
asking for the community's support in raising funds
for a new Pet Display Building for the fair. A price
matching challenge is in place until the end of the
month to help donor dollars go further.
According to Yeo, "Challenges like that illustrate
the attachment many in the community have
with the experiences they have had being able
to see and touch farm animals during the fair.
Other challenges to groups in the community
are certainly welcome.
"The BAS is beginning to realize the generosity
of the community when it has needed
assistance. This past week was quite
spectacular when the first Rafter sponsor
approached us. If families are wanting to have
their names recognized on our donor wall, this
week would be good time to call 519 482-9296
for information even if they want to make the
donation at some point in 2019."
A brick wall will recognize these generous
supporters: Rafter sponsors, $10,000 and
greater, Quoin and interior sign; Beam
sponsors, $5,000-$9,999, 12"x12" brick; Frame
sponsors, $2,000-$4,999, 8"x8" brick; Wall
sheeting sponsors, $500- $1,999, 6"x6" or 4"x8"
brick; Floor board sponsors, $100 - $499,
included on a plaque.
Donations can be made by cheque. They may be made out to the Bayfield Agricultural Society
and mailed to treasurer, Jim Erwin, Box 236, Bayfield, ON, NOM 1 GO. In addition, arrangements
have been made to handle donations of stocks or bonds. All sponsor level donations will
receive a charitable receipt for income tax purposes. Donations may also be made to honor the
memory of a loved one.
BAYFIELD'S FORGOTTEN FELINES IN
NEED OF FUNDS THIS CHRISTMAS
It's Christmas time and in the holiday hustle and bustle the most vulnerable creatures living
among us sometimes get forgotten. The volunteers behind "Bayfield's Forgotten Felines" are
hoping that the cats and kittens that they help will be remembered by those in the community
and have launched a Christmas appeal. Funds have been depleted due to an influx of felines in
need.
The trio will be participating in the Huron County
2018 Walk for Memories in May of 2019 and are now
collecting donations for the cause.
It is, of course, hoped that everyone will celebrate
responsibly this festive season and when doing so
plan to donate the empty beer bottles and cans; wine
and liquor bottles to their team, "For the Love of
Elane and Doris". After living with Alzheimer's, Elane
Brandon, Sabourin's grandmother died in April 2015
while Doris Schilbe, Dianne's mother died in August
of 2014.
Empties may be dropped off at Brandon's Hardware
in Bayfield, or picked up anytime, just call Brandon's
Hardware at 519 525-8884. Empties may also be
dropped off at Bayfield Convenience in their names

HOME4GOOD
Home4Good would like to announce changes to
their Shopping Buddy Program with the regretful
closure of the Nip 'N Tuck which offered grocery
delivery in Bayfield over the past few months.
To fill this need Home4Good is recruiting shopping
buddies willing to partner with a senior and either
take them shopping and/or pick up their groceries.
Call Leslie at 519 955-1531 for information about
being a buddy or getting a buddy.
Home4Good shopping buddies will take seniors
shopping (or pick up shopping for them) at least
once a month but not more than once a week. They
are screened volunteers, and will probably be doing
their own errands as they help others.
The Home4Good Info Hub operates on the first
Monday of the month at the Bayfield Public Library
from 1-3 p.m.
The Hub helps seniors in the Bayfield area find local
community services, resources and supports.
Volunteers will assist in finding relevant information
for daily living, overall health and wellbeing. At any
other time of the month should people have
concerns or questions they are welcome to approach
library staff who will refer inquiries to Hub volunteers.

Funds are always needed to support the work, but right now there is an even greater urgency.
Financial contributions can be made at Shop Bike Coffee on Main Street.
Organizers shared that they have had 11 kittens/cats neutered since Nov. 14 and they have
four more scheduled to go to EVAH in London, ON for the procedure on Jan. 3. Three of these
kittens were rescued from Carriage Lane after a coyote grabbed one feline in the litter.
In the summer of 2016 a small group of volunteers organized this Trap -Neuter -Release (TNR)
program for the village's felines and some of the more fragile among the colonies have found
forever homes after a little Tender -Loving -Care (TLC).
The word "feral" is used to define a cat that lives outdoors. It essentially does not belong to
anyone. Feral cats are the result of a domestic cat being abandoned or lost and left to fend for
itself. The offspring of the domestic (now considered feral) cat are usually never handled by
people and become terrified.
In addition to neutering the cats also receive a rabies vaccine, are de -wormed, given a flea
treatment and receive other vaccinations as necessary plus antibiotics if needed. Currently
these cost on average $90 per cat. Females are slightly more expensive to neuter than males.
This does not include the transportation costs of volunteer drivers. These costs are totally born
by donations as the volunteers receive no money from the municipality.
Besides the medical and transportation costs, the cats are fed daily. There are also expenses
for purchasing shelters, cat carriers and kennels to keep the felines in while they are being held
before and after surgery as well as for socializing those that are adopted.

The field located behind Huronview and the Huron County Health Unit near Clinton has long been owned by
the County of Huron. It is currently being rented to the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association,
a volunteer board of directors whose mandate is to develop and communicate innovative and environmental
farming practices. (Submitted photo)
Funding from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) will support an innovative project to
demonstrate and monitor contoured drainage on a field at the Huron County demonstration
farm near Clinton.
Technology is opening new opportunities for farm drainage that could improve both yields and
water quality. Control gates manage water levels in field tiles, effectively `shutting off' drainage
systems when they aren't needed and sub -irrigating a crop. While they've been tried on flat
fields in Ontario, this Huron County field will be first in the province to try controlling drainage
on a slope. The trick is to run tile laterals on precise contours with a 0.1 per cent grade to allow
the control gates to work.
"Through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership we are investing in on-farm solutions for soil
and environmental sustainability," said Lawrence MacAulay, minister of Agriculture and Agri -
Food. "This collaborative, in -field, innovative approach will enhance water management and
environmental practices for farmers and help keep the sector on the cutting edge of
sustainable growth."
"We're working with farmers and others in our agricultural sector to keep improving nutrient and
water management and other practices to benefit both productivity and the environment," said
Ernie Hardeman, Ontario's minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. "Not only will this
project help agriculture become more competitive and sustainable, but it also supports our
made -in -Ontario environmental plan."
Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association (HSCIA), in partnership with Huron
County, Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority (ABCA), and two landowners are installing a
side-by-side comparison of two contoured systems in June 2019. The contoured and controlled
drainage system will be compared with a conventional pattern -tiled field with a contoured
terrace to control surface erosion, and a third field area which will remain untiled. ABCA will be
monitoring the surface and sub -surface flow and water quality, while Huron Soil and Crop will
compare yields across the various systems.
"Traditionally, only gently sloped fields benefited from controlled drainage and sub -irrigation,"
said Jeremy Meiners of AGREM, the Illinois -based drainage design company that made the
plans for the site behind Huronview. "But our designs reduce erosion while improving yield on
sloping ground, and that should work well in Huron County."
"The Huron Soil and Crop Improvement Association would like to thank the Canadian
Agricultural Partnership for supporting this innovative research and recognizing the yield and
water quality benefits that are possible by studying and sharing methods of in -field water
management," said Doug Walker, president of the HSCIA. "Huron Soil and Crop is pleased to
work with industry partners to introduce innovative approaches to managing water including
controlled drainage on a slope."
before hearing nominations and heading to the voting
station.
CAO Meighan Wark along with County staff, wish to
congratulate Warden Ginn. They look forward to
working with him in the two-year term ahead.
LONELY NO MORE
Winter is a lonely time for many people. Extreme
weather, shorter days, and terrible road conditions
force us to stay indoors, and travel becomes
extremely difficult. Activities that normally occupy our
time, like going for walks or hikes, attending social
outings, gardening and outdoor housework are no
longer possible, and it feels like the days stretch on
forever.
With winter, also comes Christmas. The holiday
season is a time for visiting family and friends. It is a
happy time for many people, but it can also be a
reminder to some, of how lonely they really feel. In
the elderly population especially, Christmas can be a
difficult time of year. Health issues and mobility
challenges can make it more difficult to travel and
visit family members, especially if family members
live long distances away.
For some, Christmas carries the reminder of a loved
one that is no longer here to celebrate with them. A
survey done by the AARP Foundation (American
Association of Retired Persons) reports that "31 per
cent of respondents say they have felt lonely during
the holiday season sometime during the past five
years, and 41 per cent have worried about a family
member or friend feeling lonesome."
Lonely No More is a community-based program,
funded by the Ministry for Seniors and Accessibility,
that aims to reduce these feelings of loneliness in
rural seniors. The program will provide the
opportunity for social interaction, participation in
meaningful discussions with new friends, assistance
with learning about health resources, and a chance
to share life experiences with peers.
Discussion groups remind seniors that they are not
alone; they create an opportunity to learn from the
experiences of others who are also aging in rural
communities. Discussion topics are chosen based on
current concerns and/or interests of members in the
group. These topics may be lighthearted at times and
serious at others, offering the opportunity for
participants to have fun with friends while also being
there for each other when someone is struggling.
Our goal is that the Lonely No More program will help
reduce loneliness by bringing friendship and
community to those who need it. This program is
using a teleconference platform to enable
participants to have discussions with a group of
friends from the comfort of their own home. A
teleconference line is a tool that allows users to talk
with more than one person at a time, similar to party
cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Week5l Issue493/tabid/914/Default.aspx 5/12
6/11/2019 Week 51 Issue 493
The combined resources and expertise of this group of partners will help to create new
possibilities for new approaches, according to Walker.
"The study of contoured drainage at the Huron County Demonstration Farm can help to
demonstrate how contoured drainage strategies could work to better manage water on fields in
this part of Ontario. This study can help producers know how to better manage water on the
field to store water at the right times and the right places," Walker said. "We have the potential
to learn a great deal about in -field water management and yields and water quality by
comparing contoured and controlled systems with conventional pattern -tiled systems."
The field is located behind Huronview and the Huron County Health Unit and has long been
owned by the County of Huron. It is currently being rented to the HCSCIA, a volunteer board of
directors whose mandate is to develop and communicate innovative and environmental
farming practices.
"The Huron County Demonstration Farm field at Huronview builds on Huron County's efforts to
support our vital agricultural industry while protecting water quality, wetlands and woodlands,"
said Jim Ginn, mayor of Central Huron and Huron County warden. "Huron County Council is
proud to partner with HSCIA, ABCA, the drainage industry and others to host this innovative
project."
The project is being funded by the Huron County Clean Water Project, HSCIA, the Land
Improvement Contractors of Ontario and the ABCA. This project is also funded in part through
the CAP, a federal -provincial -territorial initiative. The Agricultural Adaptation Council assists in
the delivery of the CAP in Ontario. The project will receive up to $181,593 in funding through
the CAP.
Farmers, drainage contractors and the public are welcome to attend a demonstration day,
which will be held during installation in June 2019.

SUBMISSIONS
This week, a note came across my desk highlighting the kindness of three area women from the parents of the receiver of said
thoughtfulness. It was written by Bill Hyde. And as this is our holiday issue I felt it appropriate to share it here. Their actions are
a true reflection of what this season is all about. Merry Christmas. — Melody
"Christmas is a time when we all need to give thanks.
Three local ladies, Deb, Debbie and Pattie have shown what it is to be friends and good neighbors as they have helped
another Bayfield resident who is going through a difficult period.
Melody Falconer -Pounder Victoria Hyde has been very ill for twelve months. She has been experiencing serious health issues with complications that are
far from over. She has been unable to work and has made numerous visits to various doctors and hospitals in the area, which
have been particularly troublesome as she cannot drive herself. Care for her beloved dog has been a big problem.
These ladies have pitched in to help and support Victoria, caring for her pet, driving her to the hospital and shopping for food, doing her laundry and most
importantly being her friends.
Deb, Debbie and Pattie have provided wonderful support. This is an example of how people in a community can help one another in a way that is all too
rare.
Victoria's family is overwhelmed by their kindness and compassion and extend to them a heartfelt thank you."
Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
Deadlines for submissions are Sundays at 4 p.m.
Please email me at bayfield.breeze@villageofbayfield.com or call 519-525-3530.
