"For years, the secluded gardens "and stately buildings on the north- west tip of Scugog Island have proved too financially wearing on investors, eager to turn the former estate into an upscale resort. Trouble is, Seven Mile Island was in need of massive repairs, and each eager owner gradually gave up the dream of an upscale resort--when faced with the reality of up-upscale renovaiion costs. But thanks to those investors, most of the major work at Seven Mile Island has been accom- plished. Over the past four or five years, almost all buildings have been transformed, with beautifully warm decor and, in the restaurant kitchen, the latest in professional cooking technology. So by the time two more eager investors came along, Seven Mile Island was that much closer to being an ideal getaway, whether for business or pleasure. This time around, the two in- vestors are local, and fairly well known in Scugog Township. Mark Smith is a familiar face in - real estate circles, as manager of the Frank Real Estate office in Port Perry. His partner is former video distributer Greg Fish. Together, both men own and operate Cine-Max, with three lo- cations (Port Perry, Uxbridge and Little Britain) renting videos. The Cine-Max stores, open for a few years now, have been enor- mously successful. Both men have proven they have sound business heads between their shoulders, and they're hoping their good-luck formula at Cine-Max will rub off on their newest ven- ture at Seven Mile Island. According to 35 year old Greg, it was video that originally put the hospitality bug in their ears.About a year and a half ago, they were in Chicago, at a video convention, looking for a great place to spend an evening out. "We went to this place--it was a dive, a hole in the wall...it had the back end of a '57 Cadillac for a bar," he says. "And it was packed!" The secret, they figured out, was the music--all 50's, 60's, and 70's, that had attracted everyone from college-age kids up to 50 year olds. Unbridge and District Chamber of Commerce present "Uxpo Seven Miles to success "We thought it was great. A great thing to do," he recalls. "And then this came up." "This", Seven Mile Island, came up for rent late last year, and it was nothing at all like the little dive in Chicago. With acres of sweeping gardens, a restaurant, and resort rooms--it was and is a far cry from Chicago. But they were intrigued, and "When we first looked at it, we re- alized what we had to do." They rented it last December, and had been working non-stop getting ready for opening. For Greg and Mark, the high- light of their new enterprise is "Breakers", a nostalgia nightclub open for the first time last week- end. With gleaming hardwood floors for dancing, cozy chairs in quieter rooms, and a great view of Lake Scugog, it hardly resembles the dive in Chicago--but the two clubs have one thing in common-- music from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. And as well as the music and a well-stocked bar, the club will fea- ture some great food, made in the Seven Mile Island restaurant. Chicken' wings, pizza slices, perogies and other finger foods will be available throughout the night, he says, but the "real stuff" will break out between 11:30 and midnight, when for only $5.95, everyone at Breakers can help themselves to an all-you-can-eat buffet. "And I mean, really lay it on. It will be a lot of good food, a whole lot, for a reasonable price," Greg says. The food comes via two talented pairs of hands, Chef Paul Green and Sous Chef Patti Kendry, the couple in charge of Seven Mile Is- land Resort's restaurant. Paul Green, a graduate of George Brown College's prestig- ious Chef course, may by young but he comes to Seven Mile Is- land with high credentials. He and Patti have been given virtual con- trol over every aspect of the re- staurant, right from drawing up a menu, to drawing the menu (Paul also knows calligraphy). The menu is guaranteed to melt even the most hardened taste buds. Both lunch and dinner entrees, served in the lovely dining room (overlooking a watermill), are cooked only with the freshest of Uxbridge Chamber of Commerce sition '88" Trade Show 72 Exhibits in Arena. ozzy 3 Special feature this year re VU "A Little bit O' Country" 16 Exhibits in Hall This Trade/Home /Country Show offers something for everyone Plan to attend May 26, 27 & 28 Thu.& Fri. 5p.m. to 10p.m. Sat. 1p.m. to 8p.m. UXBRIDGE COMMUNITY CENTRE Brock St., W.

Dinner entrees, for ex- ample, range from Baked Rainbow Trout (stuffed with shrimp, baby clams and crabmeat) to Steak Diane (medallions of filet steak lightly panfried with onions, mushrooms, and flamed with brandy, finished in a dijon mustard cream sauce). And if that isn't enough, the Caesar salad is enough to die for. Even the luncheon menu is inspir- ing, with items such as Supreme Style Chicken Crepe or Fettuccine Island Style. For dieters, or for those with special nutritional requirements, e chefs suggest calling before you arrive ("Ten minutes is enough notice," Patti says). With one phone call, the chefs will cook you just about anything you want. "Anything," Paul maintains. Whether for brunch, lunch or dinner--or dinner, dancing at Break- ers, and a romantic room for the night overlooking the lake--Seven Mile Island Resort's whole philos- ophy is to make people feel com- fortable. As Greg says, there's no dress code. Boaters can feel free to dock and come in to the dining room in I their bathing suits! As for Breakers, he's hoping it will become an important night- club in this area. And as for Seven Mile Island-- the people who are running it are brimming over with talent and en- thusiasm. If enthusiasm is enough to make a success of this beautiful resort, Seven Mile Island will have five stars beside its name. Summer fashion What's hot in local fashion will be shown off, in all its bare es- sentials, at Seven Mile Island this weekend. On Sunday at 2 p.m., the beau- tiful gardens of this Island Estate will be the background for an all- summer display of fashion from the Children's Den, Dor-Jean, Im- ages, Northern Clothing Compa- ny, Strawberry Threads and Wendy's Boutique. Organizer Linda Palleske (who is counting on good weaher for this affair--if not, it will be held in Breaker's nightclub, also on the resort). A $6 ticket also includes dessert and coffee, as well as a $5 discount on any appetizer at the resort's Scugog House Restau- rant.
