As a life-long gardener, he's been getting his hands soiled since his dad gave him his first trowel at the tender age of four. All his gardens have supplied his family, many friends and neighbors with a wide variety of vegetables every summer, fall and well into the winter. His extensive experience in starting, and cultivating a wide variety of plants in a small greenhouse has given him solid knowledge that is useful to beginning and experienced gardeners alike. summer events, assisting with Facebook maintenance, digitizing and documenting photograph collection and providing customer service to our visitors.

HIGH-SPEED INTERNET Improving access to high-speed Internet in Huron County is a priority of county council. "High-speed Internet access is about connecting small businesses to the marketplace and our youth to their future," said Warden Jim Ginn. "The County of Huron is working together with local Internet service providers to expand access to high-speed broadband cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreeze/Weekl61ssue4O6/tabid/826/Default.aspx 3/11 6/13/2019 Week 16 Issue 406 Learning new skills and getting ideas from fellow gardeners is a big part of being a club member.

Recently, Council passed a motion to support, in principal, an application to the federal Connect to Innovate program put forward by Comcentric — a cooperative of the local Internet service providers. The proposal outlines a plan to build infrastructure that connects 98 per cent of the county's population with high-speed fibre optic Internet access over a three-year period. To leverage federal investment, county council is prepared to invest $7 million over seven years to fund this project. "Improving connectivity in Huron County is something we need to do," said Warden Ginn. "However, we cannot build broadband infrastructure alone and are calling on the federal government to partner with us." The Connect to Innovate application is due at the end of April, at which time the federal government will review the proposal. Over the coming months, county staff and Comcentric will develop a detailed business plan that ensures best value for any public money invested in this project. Their planned activities include: Annual Plant Sale in Clan Gregor Square, visit to a local art Home to 60,000 fulltime residents Huron County is studio and naturalized garden, Summer Pot Luck and Secret Garden walk, local viticulture visit, one of the most agriculturally productive regions in Q & A for Gardeners, Steve Jenkins speaking on the subject of migrating birds and attracting Ontario.

The Lions' Club also runs its own building providing meeting rooms at modest prices for childcare, local clubs, associations and interest groups. RMDELL TO BE INVESTED IN AGRICULTURE HALL OF FAME A special community tribute will be held on Saturday, May 6, in honor of the remarkable Jack Riddell to mark his upcoming investiture in the Ontario Agriculture Hall of Fame. The event is being held from 4-8 p.m. at the Dashwood Community Centre and will include a meal, entertainment and a tribute to Riddell. Tickets are $15 and should be purchased in advance online (https://jackriddell- tribute. eve ntbrite. ca) or in person from Paul Steckle, at 519 565-2147. Riddell formally ended his 17 year run as a provincial MPP in Huron -Bruce in 1990 after an incredible tenure that also included a period as Minister of Agriculture and Food from 1985-89. Jack Riddell While he did not seek re-election in 1990, Riddell has remained an active Liberal, a member of the board of the Huron -Bruce federal Liberals and a key player in the 2015 election campaign. The official ceremony to install Riddell in the hall of fame takes place in Milton, on June 11. But his friends wanted to get the ball rolling early to celebrate this amazing person. "Jack is such a legendary character in this part of the world that we didn't want to miss this occasion to honor him and to recognize his installation in the Ontario Agriculture Hall of Fame," said Allan Thompson, communications chair for the Huron -Bruce Federal Liberal Association, which is sponsoring the event. The $15 admission price will cover the basic costs of the event and includes a meal, entertainment and cash bar. "This event in Jack's honor is sponsored by the Huron -Bruce Federal Liberal Association but is open to all as Jack's friendships cross over party lines," Thompson said. "And just to be clear, the funds being collected through ticket sales are not a donation to the federal Liberal party but will be used to cover the costs of the event. Any funds left over after we pay the bills will be given to Jack as a gift." BIRTH OFA NATION IN ICE of Brucefield and Egmondville and delivered them to the school. The first Grade 8 graduation was held in June 1967. Close to 3,000 students have graduated since the opening of the school.

On May 27, a 50th year reunion of graduates will be held at the school. They will be welcomed by the past principals and staff. All past students and staff of Huron Centennial School are welcome to attend and help make it a day to remember.

He came to Canada in 1834 aboard the Maria. In 1834, he built a log house on Lot 6, Mill Road, at the southeast corner of the Wildwood Line in Stanley Township. He married Jane Rutledge, a sister of Andrew Rutledge, who was born in Ireland in about 1806. The first property Connor bought in Bayfield was Lots 121 and 163 purchased in 1836, the same year he was appointed Clerk of Stanley Township. The 1851-52 Canada Directory lists William W Connor as an innkeeper in Bayfield. He built the Exchange Hotel on Lot 163 at the corner of Main and Catherine streets, possibly as early as 1845, replacing it in 1878 with the grander Queens Hotel. William W & Jane Connor's only child, daughter Catherine, was born in 1849. The house, pictured above, was likely built in the early 1850s; in 1855, Connor and his wife applied for an entertainment license so that they could use their house as a hotel. Connor died in 1889 and the property was assessed the following year to his widow, Jane, and his son-in-law, Francis Ryan. See WW Connor & Andrew Rutledge family trees, see also Profile of Land Speculators & Agents and For the Love of Bayfield. George Parke was born in Scotland in 1827 and came to Canda in 1842. He married Mary Anne Elliott in Stanley Township in 1853. They had six children: Mary Elizabeth (1854), Anne (1856), Catherine (1857), Margaret (1860), John Henry (1862), and Susan (1865). George is listed in the 1910 Assessment Roll as a yeoman aged 81; the property was valued at $525 and George also owned Lots 247, 248 and 250, making up the corner of that block. George died in 1911. See the Andrew Elliott family tree. The 1915 Assessment Roll lists Isabella Woods, a widow, as the tenant at Lot 249 and Emmanuel Ward, a blacksmith, as the tenant of Lots 247, 248, and the west part of 250. Kate Parke of Yonkers, New York, is listed as the owner. Editor's Note: This week we bring you a feature that will periodically appear in the issues of the Bayfield Breeze, "Village Cottages Then and Now" brought to you by the Bayfield Archives. For the last two years, Dianne Smith, a professional researcher, has been researching ownership records of properties, doing new research and assembling existing researched materials, on notable residents and buildings over the years, augmenting the info gathered years ago by the Bayfield LACAC. As a result a collection of the ownership history, as well as some family history for the homes and cottages in the older section of the village — residents on such streets as Tuyll, Colina, Anne, Victoria Place, Louisa and Charles — is evolving. The publication of these histories may be of interest to residents who also have history to share regarding these properties, stories to tell or stories that want telling. Anyone interested in providing more detail should contact the Bayfield Archives. The Photography Club of Bayfield was also enlisted to take street side photos of the properties as they appear today for the historical record. 091AERSDV IRSTORY OF 8 THE SQUARE (Lot: Plan 147 West Part Lot 249) 1851 NH Onoway 1853 William Wellington Connor; mortgage 1857 1897 George Parke 1911 Catherine Parke, Susan Parke 1941 William J Dowson 1954 Clifford E Talbot cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeekl6lssue4O6/tabid/826/Default.aspx 8/11 6/13/2019 BAYFIELQ FIP Week 16 Issue 406 � TEie moi, r+'j 2018-19 SEASON PIXILATED - IMAGE OF THE WEEK • 440ME. • COTTAGE • BUSINESS Red, White & Blue...
