"4 Nick Boudourls 4 Food with a view Nick Boudouris has owned the popular Dock Lunch at the Penetanguishene Town Dock for five years. He has big plans for the coming, and next few, years. The people here have been very good to me. When I chose to move here, to open a business, to live with my family, a big factor was that the people are so nice here. I want to do something for them that will benefit the whole area. This year's Bikini Contest will be only part of a special weekend, I'm_ planning. I'm arranging for a baseball tournament. The 15 top ladies baseball teams in Ontario will be com- peting for a big prize. There will be a dance, and a marathon swimmimng = race across the bay, in ad- dition to an expanded bikini contest. Last year's contest was held to choose Miss Bikini. This year there will bea Mr. Bikini contest as well. On the night of the dance one of the two winners will receive a top prize: two airline tickets and an expense- free week's vacation to someplace like Acapulco. My location here on the bay, next to the water, with the view, is one of the best of its kind in the country. I'm working on a long-term project that willin three or four years ensure that everyone in the country knows this waterfront. Running this place is a seven day a week occupation. I'm _ not necessarily here day and night, but the business demands that I be constantly around. I have a very capable staff, and so I have time for my family, but I have to be here after hours to do inventory and handle the cash, for example. I work long hours seven days a week. I like sports. I was very active and did a bit of everything. If I was going to be something else. I'd be a hockey player. Someday I'd like to be the coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs and take the team to a Stanley Cup victory. (laughs) There are 27 people on the payroll, eight of them full-time em- ployees, and the rest part-time. Because this is a tourist area, a lot of people come here to visit in the summer. I holiday myself every year- and on my holidays I've run into people I've met here. The first time I went to the Bahamas I saw some people from the U.S. that I knew here in Penetanguishene. The same thing happened when I was in Acapulco. That's how I got the idea of putting World Famous in front of Dock Lunch on my signs. The signs in the town arena and the billboards that you see were my idea. My brother and I moved here from Toronto in 1973 after we had visited here and got to know some people. I lived in Toronto bet- ween 1964 and 1973, after emigrating from Athens, Greece. My brother and I bought the Watergate Restaurant, and I bought the Dock Lunch after we sold the Watergate.

The third annual Midland Rotary Club TV-radio auction is set for Feb. 16 and the Rotarians want to have over 300 items to auction by then. Rotary President Don McNee points out that previous auctions have been the highest rated programs of the year for local radio and cable television, and that the publicity value to contributors. is considerable. ' Last year's radio auction raised $8,000 for the Rotarians. In recent years the Rotary Club of Midland has donated $15,000 to the Midland YMCA $10,000 to Platt offers his own formula In recent months Midland's Alderman Richard Platt has become the most vocal when it has come to registering his op- position to the manner in which building permits have been issued by the Township of Tiny for further commercial develop- ment along Highway 27 just west of Midland town limits. The alderman has, for instance, long ad- vocated a cost-sharing program whereby both municipalities share in the maintenance of Hugel Avenue which feeds from Midland out into the township to the plazas and malls there. Platt has noted on more than one occasion even though the town doesn't not derive any direct benefit from these enterprises vehicular traffic to and from these facilities use town streets which over the years take a beating. Developments The alderman, an active member of Midland council, Midland. Planning Board and the Tiny-Tay Peninsula Planning Board, has prepared a lengthy resolution which would call upon major developments in the township, west of Midland, not to proceed with any further development _ without benefit of piped storm drainage or piped sanitary sewers or other hard services. Platt's motion which is to go the Midland Planning Board before council considers it, also stresses the town "express these concerns to the developers (of this commercial ex- pansion) to the Town- ship of Tiny and to the Me aen) 19s) tary, of Intergovernmental Affairs and further declare its intentions once the Municipal Boundaries Negotiat- ions Act has _ been enacted to apply to the Ministry o f Intergovernmental Affairs for negotiations to be initiated towards joint servicing agreement between the town and the township in regard to this proposed developme- Ns, The developmént Platt refers to is a 60- store small complex which is to be con- Film to be shown at party The Georgian Manor January Birthday Party will be held Tues., Jan. 27 at 7 p.m. The National Film Board movie, The Railroader, starring Buster Keaton, will be screened.
