The last six months have been terrible. Stiffer drinking and driving laws have stopped people from coming here. It's killed the out-of-town business. W e had to lay-off three bartenders and waitresses, and my sales are down 40 per cent." There are loyal patrons of the Commercial, though, who ensoy country and western music. Mr. 'Dupuis books mainly four -piece bands for evenings from Thursday to Saturday. The music is the main drawing card for the Commercial. it is the only place in the area that offers country and western music. The room business is nothing worth mentioning really, Mr. Dupuis says. Food sales are down and there is not much business during the week or in the daytime. "Everyone seems to be licenced. The arena is hurting us. Every week someone has a licence to sell liquor in there." Mr. Dupuis is from Kitchener. He and his family live in Seaforth because it is the kind of place Mr. Dupuis wanted -- a small town. He also farms part-time outside Seaforth... Mr. Dupuis dislikes what the drinking and driving laws implemented by the Ontario government have done to his business. He feels the laws are aimed too much at hotels and taverns and, ultimately destroying them. And, he cannot understand why people are reluctant to go to a hotel when the hotel personnel are trained to control their crowd and the hotel offers morns for people to sleep in if they cannot drive home. "Some drunks aren't even leaving a hotel when they are caught (drinking and driving). They're leaving the arena or a wedding reception or private parties." The Commercial depends a lot on out-of- town business, and without it, Mr. Dupuis does not see how the hotel can survive. In fact, many hotels did not survive. Out of over a half dozen hotels that were here a handled years ago, only two remain. The Dominion Hotel, owned by James IL Rossin the 1860s, used to sit en the place where the Carnegie library now stands. Sharp's Hetet became the Kennedy Hotel in 1883 and then The Grip House in 1892. Itis now the modern head office for Topnotch Feeds Ltd. in 1863 the McBride Brothers, James and John, moved a building down from Harpur- hey and ran it as a hotel. It was bought in the McKillop Correspondent iDELI A E. REGELE 527-1106 FAMILY THE HURQN ;E)GpQSITOR, JUNE 11, 1980 OBITUARIES CHESTER E. NEIL Chester E.

ANST.ETT 1890s by Scott Brothers of the Seaforth Electric light and Power Company. Though many hotels have come and gone, the Seaforth Restaurant and Steak House has recently added nightly entertainment of another variety to the local bar scene. Owner Jim Kiritsis says the new pub should do, well because if offers something different.. The new pub is called Whispers and it sits on the west side of Main Street nestled. between Custom Art Designer and Glenda's Unisex Hairstyling. The restaurant part is open from? a.m. until9 p.m. and Mr. Kiritsis says that people come for the food and atmosphere. After 9, the people are looking for a nice place and nice music. Whispers offers soft rock for a young crowd, ages 19 and up. Grant Ross manages the pub area and acts as the disc jockey. For those who want to dance, a small dance floor is situated in one corner. The whole area is modern and obviously aimed at drawing young adults. "We're offering something new and different for Huron County,' Mr. Kiritsis says. "We're offering dancing and dining and a place where people can enjoy themselves. If people want to go to hotels and see live bands, they go there. If they like my place and the D.J. they come here." It took three months to renovate the new pub which opened at the end of May. Mr. Kiritsis says the turnout was good on T'hursdaynightand F1'idaynight, Mr. Kiritsis feels the changes really add to his establish- ment. "We have a better place, a better atmosphere and better music. That's what draws the people. But we have daytime business so were not dependent on the Pub." The Seaforth Restaurant and Tavern was situated further south on Main'Street but it burned down a year ago. Mr, Kiritsis says he stayed in Seaforth and reopened here because "we like it here. It's a nice town." There is a fourth licenced establishment in Seaforth that adds to the nightlife as well. Ginettes Restaurant. which is nett door to the Commercial Hotel on Main StredL It has been serving the people of Seaforth for eight years. With all this nightlife entertainment around, it is easy to see why people don't need to travel to Landon, Kitchener, Hamilton or even Toronto but have localized their thoughts a bit - JEWELLERS For the entire month oI June • this is your opportunity to purchase Diamonds and Gemstones at genuine savings.
