UP FRONT
This month's Village Squire brings its rtrst fall food issue to go
along with the annual spring food issue that we've featured for
the past couple of years.
fall is a natural time to think about food in Western Ontario
with the harvest of an infinite variety of foodstuff going on all
around us.
Our feature stories have some unusual subjects. Staff writer
Debbie Ranney talked to Blanche Garrett, the Auburn area
connoisseur of weeds...yes weeds. Mrs. Garrett makes jams and
jellies and many other tastey food products from what most of us
consider nuisance weeds. She's also written several books about
weeds as foods.
A different way of buying food is practiced by a small group of
people, mostly from the Stratford area with the Perth County
Co-operative food outlet. The group pools its resources to get
specialty foods at prices far lower than usual.
What's it like to run a smalltown restaurant? Hard work, that's
what. But Jim and Ted Kotsanis thrive on hard work and their
Maitland Restaurant provides a touch of class along with
working man's fare in Wingham. After a year in operation
they've comp to like running a smalltown restaurant after many
years in the city.
And our dining column takes a look at one of the area's newer
restaurants, Rundles, in Stratford, a little restaurant striving for
the bigtime.
CHANGES
Beginning with the next issue readers will see changes in
Village Squire magazine, not big changes, just little
improvements. The reason is that for the first time Village Squire
and its sister publication The Rural Voice will be full time
projects. Backed by more than four years of support by the public
for Village Squire, the publishers have decided to devote fulltime
to the magazine and have divested themselves of the two weekly
newspapers which have taken up such a Targe part of their time
in the past. It should mean more time for thought and planning
and a better product for subscribers.
The move was enabled by the enthusiastic support given by
readers in the past and will require the same kind of supportin
the future. There will be no increase for subscription rates in the
near future but prompt payment of renewals is essential to give
stability to the magazines. We hope you will co-operate.
