The Citizen, 1989-02-01, Page 3THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1989. PAGE 3. Deputy Governor visits Blyth Lions Club In a ceremony last week, Kay Hesselwood of Blyth’s Triple K Restaurant hands over the keys to the popular eatery to its new owner, Albert Wasson. Mr. Wasson has re - named the businessTheCIassic,a reference to the classic automobile “built in” to the decor. Owner says restaurant will be a ‘Classic’ An exciting change has come to one of Blyth’s favourite eating places, as the Triple K Restaurant at the southeastern edge of the village re-opens February 2 as The Classic. Blyth Reeve Albert Wasson is the new proprietor of the facility, having purchased the business from Kay Hesselwood, who along with her late husband, Keith, son Ken and daughters Brenda Finlay­ son and Verna Hesselwood built the popular eatery in 1973 to serve the village. An addition was built to the Triple K in 1979 as the business continued to expand and Blyth’s summer population began to boom. Mr. Wasson has changed the name of the restaurant to The Classic, a reference to his 1957 Chevrolet Belair, the gleaming white “Heavy Chevy’’ that is a familiar sight at classic automobile shows in the county and on Blyth streets on special occasions. The Blyth People Mary Campbell had guests re­ cently. There were Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Campbell of Saskatche­ wan and Mr. and Mrs. Keith Snell of Kirkland Lake. Ella Richmond and Jeff Wittich had the high scores at the weekly Lost Heir card party at Blyth Memorial Hall Wednesday, Janu­ ary 25. Winnie Vincent and Harry Crich had the low scores. Edgar Howatt won the special prize. There were eight tables in play. Monday night at the weekly Euchre card party at Memorial Hall there were 16 tables in play. Beth Knox and Len Shobbrook had the high scores while June Jacklin and Murray Scrimgeour had the low scores. Jane McEwing and Wilfred Shortreed had the most lone hands. Special prizes went to Ted Fother­ gill and Edythe Giousher. There were 16 tables in play. car will be on special display at the restaurant, with plans rapidly com­ ing to completion to build a glass-fronted “bubble” which will permit the car to be viewed from both inside the dining room and from the outside. It’s a dream that has been in his mind for some time, Mr. Wasson says, adding that the car’s housing will also be operational, so that he can continue to drive and show the venerable vehicle, and so that he could even display other classic or antique vehicles at the restaurant including his other pride and joy, a 1963 Buick Wildcat. Janice Henry of Blyth will re­ main on the staff of The Classic as manager, while several of the Triple K’s other regular staff will stay on as well. Mr. Wasson jokes that he himself will be on staff as the “assistant manager,” while Mrs. Hesselwood will continue to bake her famous home-made pies for the new restaurant. “I may take a little holiday later on, maybe do a little travelling,” she says. “But I’m not in any hurry.” Mr. Wasson’s plans for his new venture include the construction of a motel to complement the restaur­ ant, although he was unable to give any specific date for the start of construction. “We’ll just see how it goes, and take it from there,” he said. A motel for Blyth has been one of the highest priorities in several surveys of the future needs of the area, on the assumption that it would be well patronized by the more than 40,000 visitors to the Blyth Festival each year, as well as by the 10,000 or so who annually flock to Blyth’s Threshers’ Reunion. The restaurant has been closed for 10 days for renovations, but will re-open on Thursday with a divi­ sion between the dining room and a new coffee shop. The menu will remain much the same for the present, Mr. Wasson says. “We’re famous for good food, so why change a good thing?” An official Grand Opening will take place in June. The Blyth Lions Club held their regular meeting on Thursday, Jan. 26 at the Blyth Memorial Hall. Twenty-three Blyth Lions, four Londesboro Lions and two Tees- water Lions were in attendance as Deputy District Governor Charles Kuenzig from the Teeswater Lions Club made his official visit. The Lions received a $25 dona­ tion from the Blyth Legion for the Walk-a-dog-a-thon. This money will be forwarded to Canine Vision Canada and will be used in the training of dogs at the guide school in Oakville. A $700 donation was received from the Londesboro Lions Club to help pay the trans­ portation costs of busing area children to Vanastra for swimming lessons. The Lions weekly Bingo contin­ ues to be very successful.
