High tide on Paquette High tide on Paquette Avenue has forced a Thornhill couple to don hip waders. Recent wet weather caused a drain to back up near a trailer which is home tec Diane and Jason Miller. They have ason Danny, six and a half, and daughter Stephanie, three and a half, Diane said their trailer is situated in a low spot. Water flooded their yard . following heavy rain which caused the dry well to back up. To get to their car parked in the driveway the Miller’s had to put on gumboots or hip waders. Rubber boots are not high enough for the young- sters so Jason built his children a raft to ferry them from the front door to dry land. Diane said she phoned the local highways de- partment when she no- ticed that water was ris- ing faster than it could be expected to drain away. Work crews gra- ded a section of land near the drain and cleared a path for backed up water to exit. Water around the trailer rose to a height of approximately three and a half feet in some places before the drainage system was back in order. In the meantime Dan- ny had fine rides on his raft in the yard and charted new courses for his ‘‘personal yacht club’’.
