Clinton News-Record, 1986-10-01, Page 3CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1986—Page 3 Mws and fQatOrQS Haugh Tire celebrates with grand opening By David Emslie CLINTON - After officially taking over Haugh Tire and Muffler Supply Ltd. in August of 1985, the new owners celebrated their grand opening recently from September 18 to September 20. "The grand opening was more for the fact that we got the business back on its feet, to let people know„what is going on," Haugh's, Manager, Brian Barnim said. "It was also an appreciation deal for the people who came back, it was a pretty quiet place when we came in." Mr. Barnim explained the reason his 'father's company, Al Barnim Incorporated, took over the garage was because they have a similar business in Burgessville. "My father started the business there in 1967, and it is basically the same type of business," he said. "We just decided to ex- pand, and this came up. That is why we are in Clinton, we weren't necessarily looking in Clinton." Mr. Barnim noted that only a few changes had to be made for the takeover. "Basically, we had to buy new service trucks, and we had to do some promoting to let the people know there was service available and we have the stock; that was a big thing." Although they weren't necessarily looking in this area, and steps had to be taken to win back some customers, the move has proven successful. When questioned about customer response, Mr. Barnim replied, "It has been very good, people are coming back. They BRIAN B,RNIM know they can get what they want; that we have what they need." He added, "We thrive a lot in the agricultural area." IPSTANLEY TWP. - Township council here is -in the process of -rezoning eight lots but have received eight objections to the changes.

Some of the residents were busy on Tues- day making autumn decorations and the end products are now on the walls throughout the home. Another successful Tupperware panty took place in the auditorium Wednesday, and many new items were on display as well as the ever popular ones. The show, hosted by Brenda Glen, features numerous ar- ticles, useful and practical for gift -giving. 'Several of the folk had the pleasure of van rides this past week. One group went on a shopping spree to Kitchener, and another spent some time at Suncoast Mall in Goderich. Others were just satisfied with a tour around the country, enjoying the .autumn scenery. Ladies from Unit Four were engaged in baking pear pies this week, and they turned out beautifully. One of the clan who got to sample a piece said the pies were excellent. Ed Stiles from Goderich was at Huron - view on Thursday afternoon entertaining the residents when he played many familiar tunes on the chapel organ. Rev. John Pinta conducted Roman Catholic Mass Friday morning in the chapel. To finish off an active week, residents entertained themselves with their weekly game of bingo. Sunday morning worship was held in the chapel, conducted by- Rev. David Snihur. Assisting the minister for Communion were Mr. and Mrs. Ken Hullv from Londesboro.
