PAGE 21. For Blyth restaurateur, the Seasons is now By Mark Nonkes Citizen staff When Maxine Curry started work- ing in Blyth over a year ago she thought a middle of the road restau- rant would compliment the town. Within the year Curry has opened Seasons, a place for tasty and nutri- tional home cooked meals. Seasons, which opened last week serves daily specials, light and quick lunches, soft ice cream and dinners, some cooked on a charcoal grill. Curry set up shop directly across from Radfords, the place formerly known as BJs Cafe. It's a place with friendly and quick service from young waiters and a place with a relaxed atmosphere. On the recommendation from engineer Bryan Prouse of B.M. Ross and Associates, Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh council accepted a tender for the Huron Sands water project. It was agreed, at the May 15 meet- ing, that H2Ontario Water Treatment and Distribution be awarded the contract at a price of $130,540, with construction scheduled to begin Sept. 4. Bob Marshall attended the session to tell council about the Seaforth and District All Girls Marching Band and their intended Spring 2002 trip to Europe. Sixty-five of the 90 members plan to travel abroad and 16 of those girls are from Ashfield-Colborne- Wawanosh. Council will consider the request It's a place that should be flying, as Curry has over 30 years in the restaurant industry. Curry received sponsorship for the restaurant from Blyth resident- Grant Sparling and co-owns Seasons with a young chef, Jamie Rahmann, who used to work at Benmiller Inn. Curry is a woman with a big inviting grin and big heart. For weeks before the opening of Seasons, Curry gave free soft ice cream away to neighbours, testing out the new machine. Curry began learning to cook as a young girl. As an orphan, she was taught survival skills like sewing and cooking. After her first job at a steakhouse Curry accepted a job with an elderly gentleman to run his eating facility. "Somebody who thought they for financial support during budget talks. Steve Little of the Bogies Beach Association presented council with a cheque for $5,000, a deposit on the organization's share of costs for drainage works at the beach. An agreement for property crossing, which had been a stumbling block, was also presented. Public Works Superintendent Kevin Cook was authorized to obtain quotes for required culverts, signs needed to comply with new regulations and for various signs and posts. Council directed staff to remove a damaged fence at Riverside Park. A quote for recycling will be sought from Bluewater Recycling. Council approved the sale of an knew everything learned they knew nothing very quickly," Curry laughed. Over 30 years later, Curry has worked in the food industry as a food consultant, dietitian and manager of several restaurants around Ontario, Curry is a busy lady. Last year she became the manager of the Blyth Festival cafe and in the fall accepted a position with the festival as the volunteer co-ordinator. She started talking about opening the restaurant in the winter and Grant Sparling offered to sponsor it. She now tries to balance the,three jobs. The festival has been very accom- modating, Curry said. They let her be very flexible with her hours. "I just enjoy work," Curry said. old trailer at the Ashfield landfill site for $75.
