"The bounciest petunias and the most colourful marigolds on Simcoe Rd. are in the Van Der Hulst family garden. They grow 150,000 boxes of bedding plants each spring in the greenhouses behind their home so they have an advantage over their neighbours. With the flower season over, the family is growing tomatoes which will be ready when the field crops are depleted around September 15.

Two of his children, Bert and Connie clip the tomato leaves and wind the vines around string as they grow taller and taller."

The meeting was called after town officials learned the industrial waste going into the system was three times as much as it should be."

"Friday night's torrential downpour created some problems for homeowners on Britannia Ave. Mud and debris, swept along by water, plugged the catch basins behind the homes of Richard McIndless and John Maddox and overflowed into their backyards. Saturday morning, their carefully manicured lawns were a quagmire. The force of the water was so powerful that heavy rolls of sod were carried from a block away and deposited on the lawn. The problem was apparently aggravated by grading operations that had been in progress on the hill above Britannia Ave. prior to the laying of sod for homes on Lee Ave."
