PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS Kofalvi wins BHS By MARGARET BEATH B.H.S. Director President Ken Brown welcomed members and guests to a most suc- cessful Tulip Show and meeting held recently by the Brooklin Hor- ticultural Society. The meeting opened with the singing of O Canada ac- companied by Rose Heron at the piano. This was followed by the chalenging "Fun with Flora", in the form of a horticulturai - cross- word, using the names of herbs. Veronica Colangelo then introduced the speaker for the evening, Mel Hundert, who aithough now living in Whitby, was an active member of our com- munity for some years. Mel did a demonstration of cooking with herbs and his quiet sense of humor was a delightful addition to the program. He cooked a full cour- se meal, interspersing his talk with hints on the use of and the difference between dried and fresh herbs. He demonstrated very clearly that cooking with herbs can be an interesting ex- '84 tulip contest perience. He obviously enjoys what he does and does it well and this was proven later on in the evening when we were invited to sample the results of his culinary efforts. Quite the philosopher, Mel emphasized using the herbs you, yourself like. Margaret Davis thanked the chef/speaker and presented him with a gift on behalf of the society. Barb Twiner of Pickering, did a great job of judging the 159 en- tries presented. Accor- ding to our records, there were twice as many entries as last year and the largest number in a tulip show since 1979. Best specimen of show was presented by Freda Kofalvi for her white tulip, prize donated by ·Video Image. Best decorative prize was won by Mary Housego, donor, Oshawa Garden Service. Following the show, treasurer Margaret Davis made the an- nouncement that we earned $155 at our plant auction in Grass Park on May 19. A delicious lunch was then prepared and ser- ved by Diane Rothnie and Penny Hosken. Be sure to mark June 27 on your calender as that is the date of our Rose Show. In the meantime, do come out to watch the Spring Fair and Parade and support not only your local horticultural society but all those people who have worked so hard to make this an- nual event a success.

A loving husband and father who works i long hours not only on his job, but at home as well. Who still finds time to chauffer kids, attend their games and school activities, take out the garbage, fix a meal, tidy up or do the dishes while wifey is out doing her thing. Oh he's far from perfect but then who wants to live with or try to live up to perfection? He's great at starting wonde~rful projects but not so great at finishing them. He's not exactly the roman- tice type, flowers and pretty speeches are not his bag but he always. remembers our anniversary while I forget. So thank you my dear for putting up with me for 27 yeares. I love you. BEEF BARBECUE On June 9, there will be a beef barbecue in the Kinsmen Park (behing the Library and Firehall).
