The story goes that April showers bring May flowers, so we should have bountiful flowerbeds of blooms this spring. Farmers are getting antsy to get on the land. When we look back on last year, a lot of grain and corn had been planted by this time. But last yearwas an unusually dry, early spring. Ifit stops raining and folks get on theland in the next week, it won’t bethat bad, according to my new cropadvisor, Don. Let’s hope the weatheris changing from cold and wet towarm and dry. Our deepest sympathy is extended to Joyce (McCallum) Hartman on the loss of her husband Wayne. Our sympathies are extended to the Hartman and McCallum families. Wayne was a well-known businessman in Bayfield owning Den-Way Auto Body. Our condolences to all. There was a lot of activity around the former Sholdice house in Walton on Saturday. Firefighters from across Huron County were using thehouse for training purposes.Owners, Don and Monique Baan,have allowed the firefighters the useof house.

The HTA awarded founder Chris Lee and his family the Annual Tourism Development award for their contributions to Huron County tourism for over 40 years. The track, which has hosted the TransCan event for the past 20 years, brings in thousands of riders annually as well as their families, friends and fans, and the award recognizes the growth that kind of tourism generates. Former winners of the annual award include the Huron County Playhouse and the Blyth Festival. “It’s great to be recognized outside of the motocross community,” Lee said. “The HTA is heavily populated by municipal councillors and county staff, and that kind of recognition in front of that community is really encouraging.” Lee said that Jan Hawley, economic development officer for Huron East nominated Lee and that there were approximately 12 others vying for the spot. “There was no shortage of competition here, it wasn’t like we were defaulted the award,” he said. “That kind of competition makes the award really great.” The award was presented at the HTA’s annual brochure swap which is held in a different location every year, and was held in Seaforth this year.
