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.” Ethel Compiled by Mrs. Margaret McMahon.

Vanastra Lions Housing Incor­ porated has been allocated 36 units for non-profit housing under the 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 budget is the largest non-profit program ever undertaken by the provincial government. This month a total of over 17,600 allocations were announced across the pro­ vince. This is in addition to 3,000 allocated to four major non-profit producers this past October. May 13-21. This year a special Science Olympics will be held. While one half of the students are being judged, the other students will be adapting their scientific knowledge in activity oriented challenges. The Science Fair is open to the public from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 22.
