"I arrange the mortgage and get the zoning," said Paladino. But his "specialty" is convincing firms that In a sense, Tino builds and Paladino promotes. Since that time, the G.V.P. partners have gone their separate ways. President Gus Gerstein went to Israel and Steve Valeriote moved to Califormnia. But Paladino continued to build in Oakville. After being in and out of partnerships in some "couple of dozen" companies, he teamed up with builder Carmen Tino some 20 years ago and the two are now involved in many property management compaâ€" (Continued from page 25) home instead. For a few years, Paladino and his partners in the buildâ€" ing business, opened up the Club for weddings and other social events but eventually sold it in 1968 to Local 707 (Ford union workers) to be used as its headquarters. The Beaver now has a full and part time staff of 65 and continues to address the needs of its readers and advertisers. In addition to printing three issues a week on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, the Beaver also publishes the Oakville North News for residents north of the Queen Elizabeth Way on Fridays and the Halton Giant Marketplace, a special twice weekly advertisâ€" ing supplement. ’ # # Developer‘s building houses paper Paper continues tradition 6v;rvlhepast 12 years, the Oakville Beaver has continued to expand its coverage and office space that now stretches through three units on Speers Road. ; (Continued from page 25) Record and in 1930 that paper was renamed the Oakville Record Star. In 1947 a new paper came on the scene called the Trafalgar Journal. Two years later, the Oakville Record Star was sold and the newspapers took on a new look. In 1954, the Trafalgar Journal was purchased by Thomson Newspapers and renamed the Oakville Journal with that paper and the Oakville Record Star merging into one daily newspaper in August 1962. The resulting paper was known as the Daily Journal Record and it was this event that influenced Earl Morrison, the owner and publisher of the eastern Ontario Napanee Beaver, to explore opening another weekly newspaper in Oakville. Morrison operated the paper for a couple of years selling it to an investâ€" ment group which in turn sold it to the Eaton and Bassett familyâ€"controlled Inland Publishing Co. in 1967. At that time the Beaver was located at 334 Church Street. Two years after that, the DJR was purchased by Inland rival Metrospan and continued operating as a daily until 1973 when it became a thrice weekâ€" ly publication. "#.. * "Ad ooas Oakville‘s growth area was in the north end of town and the Beaver reloâ€" cated to 467 Speers Road with about 25 full and part time employees. The paper continued weekly publication reaching a high of 102 tabloid pages in one memorable week. f In 1981, the Torstar Corporation, through Metrospan, bought Inland Publishing and the Oakville Beaver. The chain was then renamed Metroland and the staffs of the Oakville Beaver and Oakville Journal Record were merged under the Oakville Beaver banner. * _ The boom years of the mid to late 1970s saw the Beaver outgrow its storefront operations which had then expanded next door on Church Street. Because he enjoys what he‘s doing, Paladino said he intends to do it for a long time yet. In a way, Paladino is as much a fixture of the Oakville landscape as the Galaxy Club he built back in 1962. In his career, Paladino has accomâ€" plished several "firsts." For instance, he was the first to put up an apartment building in Bronte (Lakebreeze Apartments) among all the cottages in the area. He was also the first to build a high rise on Kerr Street and it was he who noted the business potential of Speers Road when it contained only farmland and a two way street. Today, he can point with pride to the sixâ€" building industrial and commercial complex on its north side. One of the structures houses the Oakville Beaver. As well, he is responsible for several factories on Speers Road, Pat and Mario‘s restaurant and buildings on Wyecroft Road. the site he‘d like to build on is the best place for their business.
