Topped carrots flourish in the
York and Simcoe regions and are
the freshest winter carrot available.
Joe Uyenaka informs, “There is a
misconception amongst consumers
that imported carrots with the
green tops are fresher in winter
than the bagged Ontario topped
carrots. The fact is the greenery
absorbs the moisture from the
carrot, making it lose its freshness
much sooner than the topped
carrots.”

Daring robber
It is believed that the male
suspect who robbed a Grey Twp.
home of about $2,000 in contents
three weeks ago may be the same
man who attempted to add to his
booty at the Canadian Imperial
Bank of Commerce later that day.
A suspicious bank employee
prevented the man from gaining
access to the safety deposit box
belonging to the home owner.
The Wingham OPP is on the
lookout for the suspect who is
described as being in his early 20’s,
about five feet, 11 inches tall with a
thin build.
While in the bank the suspect
was wearing a brown turtleneck, a
Petro Canada jacket and running
shoes.
The home of Jim and Joy Stewart
of RR 1, Listowel near Molesworth
was entered sometime between
8:30 a.m. and 3:50 p.m. The back
door had been kicked in.
The Stewart children discovered
the theft when they returned home
from school that afternoon. The
house had been ransacked and the
articles taken included money,
liquor, jewellery, a key to a safety
deposit box, a brown leather brief
case, and personal papers such as
insurance policies and a birth
certificate.
Larger articles like the video
cassette recorder and stereo equip
ment were not taken, according to
Mrs. Stewart.
A piece of jewellery that was
stolen is, Mrs. Stewart said, of
sentimental value. It belonged to
her paternal grandmother and con
sists of four pearls forming a cross
on a gold band.
Police suspect that later that day
the suspect tried to gain access to
the safety deposit box in the
Listowel branch of the Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce, where
ironically, Mrs. Stewart is an
employee. She was, however, un
aware at the time that her house
had been robbed. A fellow em
ployee became suspicious when
she found his excuse for why he
wanted access to the box question
able.
Mrs. Stewart met the man at the
bank door as he left. She noticed he
was grumbling and presumed he
had been rejected for a loan.
The incident is under investiga
tion by the Wingham OPP.
Ministry of Housing’s “Homes
Now” program. The program ini
tially announced in the April 1988

program ever undertaken by the

were announced across the pro
vince. This is in addition to 3,000
allocated to four major non-profit
producers this past October.
