THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1999 THE NEW TANNER 19 Love small towns say Andy's new owners Custoters familiar with the friendly atmosphere and personal touch in the kitchen at Andy's Restaurant don't need to fear changes now that it has a new owner. Lacky Dalios may have sold a_ restaurant in Mississauga to buy Andy's but that's because he prefers a small town to living in the city. Born and raised in Greece, Dalios took his chef's train- ing at George Brown College in Windsor and got his early cooking experience at the Seaway Hotels, Mario's Tav- ern, and the Milano Tavern in that city. He also worked at the Elmwood Casino which drew big name entertainers like Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis during the 1960s and 1970s. Because of the prox- imity a lot of their customers came from Detroit, he says. From Windsor he struck off with his own restaurant in Blenheim and then in Chattham. He was there al- most 20 years before moving to Smithville for the next eight years. Then he tried Mississauga and quickly changed his mind. "T like the small town." he says with a grin. "The pace is a little slower and the people are friendlier." LODE Report By DOT NORTON A dozen members of Lakeside IODE held their No- vember meeting at Ernestine Foster's home on Nov. 2.Re- NEW OWNERS: Lacky and Joanne Dalios, the new owners of Andy's Restaurant on Mills Street East, have already taken up residence in town. - Maggie Petrushevsky photo The couple has two sons. James has his training in ad- ministration of restaurants and bars but is now training to work with the hearing im- Their other son, Theodore. went to Romania to study medicine after gradu- ating from Brock University. He is in year four of the six- year doctor's training. Although he has many special dishes he might add to Andy's menu, for now Dalios figures on continuing to "operate as Andy did until - I get a feel for the people and see what changes would be an addition - a good change." His only fairly immediate plans involve adding a ramp to make entry easier for sen- iors and handicapped pa- trons, and installing a wash- No insurance driver causes much woe Dear Editor: I was involved in an acci- dent on Wednesday. Nov. 3, 1999 on my way home from work. The accident was not a result of the weather condi- tions but due to an individu- al's ignorance. Ad I was trav- elling eastbound on Highway 7, just passing at Toth Mo- tors, this individual decided he couldn't wait to turn into the gas station until I passed and proceeded to turn left in front of my van. I was travel- ling at a speed of 50 km so you can imagine the impact I had on his Ford Mustang. As my van was stopped in the middle of the road not one passerby stopped to as- sist me or stop to say they had witnessed the accident. I called 911 on my cell phone for police and ambulance as- sistance as the ignorant driver I hit was injured. I remained at the scene unassisted by anyone until my husband and police arrived. As the police officers be- gan their investigation I was made aware that this driver was Carrying no insurance on his vehicle. The driver at least made a statement that the ac- cident was his fault to me. But I, as the victim, am still re- sponsible to pay a premium of $300 because he held no insurance. Is that fair? Where is the justice in that! The lost time from my job due to inju- ries is my insurance's respon- sibility. This has a tremen- dous impact on a person even though it wasn't my fault. There are a lot of what if's ign going through my mind like if he had a passenger in his car would there have been a fatality? .... What if my chil- dren had been in my vehicle with me? Would they have been injured? And what it makes me feel like when I drive around that bend every day on my way home from work. This memory will always be there. This driver has no consid- eration for other motorists only on how he can save him- self money. There must be a way that these type of peo- ple can legally be stopped and made responsible they cause an accident and put other innocent people through unn trauma. As a victim this is a totally new experience for me, one I will not forget thanks to this In closing I would like to state that people that feel they are patio the system by driving with no insurance aren't saving money but are showing how ignorant and selfish they are towards fel- low motorists that are honest and responsible on the roads. I feel they should personally be held responsible for all costs incurred by the victim instead of the victim's insur- ance company. The fine these motorists receive is an automatic $5,000 so in the long run what money are you really saving? I hope you can live with that on your conscience. July Croke, Acton gent Helen Jocque lead the members in the Prayer and flag salute. The IODE celebrates its 100" anniversary on Feb. 13, 2000. Members hope church bells will ring at noon on the big day and perhaps drivers will also blow their horns as they pass through town to join in the celebration. Annual reports were handed out for the year and nominating cards were sent to Mary Shonbeck for voting privileges for the coming year. Book early for Christmas Our LICENCED JERSEYS Are In!
