V 2 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanvillc, Wednesday, August 17,1994 Cream of Barley Remembered on T-Shirt by Laura J. Richards The Clarington Museums and Visual Arts Centre (VAC) have cooked up something you simply can't get any where else -- a t-shirt with the Cream of Barley logo on it. The five-color reproduction of the logo used by die John MacKay company which occupied The Mill off Simpson Avenue along Sopei Creek is sure to be a collector's item soon. Bowmanvillc Museum Curator Charles Taws said the idea is not an original since "the Peterborough Centennial Museum and Archives did a shirt with the old Quaker Oats container as a graphic design. "I thought about what we had here and decided the Cream of Bar ley container would be a good idea." He also noted, selling of the shirts would make a great fundraiser for the two museums and the VAC. Local artist David Gillespie, whom Taws had met previously, was his choice as someone to handle the job. Taws mentioned, "he has said he will never do a five color design again." That is why, the 150 t-shirts for sale at the three locations will probably probably become collector's items. The artist is unwilling to go through the process again. So, "once the supply is gone, it's gone," Taws stated. The 100 per cent good quality cotton shirts cost $15 each and are Around the Region PORT PERRY -- David S. Malcolm is challenging incumbent Howard Hall during this year's municipal election. Malcolm is a businessman who says if he is elected the council will review a number of recent decisions made by the present council. Among those are the sale of open space in Blackstock to create three building lots and the construction of a banquet hall at the Scugog Arena site. Malcolm says he has a creative vision for Scugog and that it is time to start treating the taxpayer as the boss not as the customer. *** MILLBROOK -- Millbrook council is looking at deciding which roads need to be resurfaced. Cavan Street, Gravel Road and Bank Street North are all vying for the federal/provincial infrastructure funding. Fifteen Bank Street North residents attended the council meeting held on Monday, Aug. 8 to lobby in favor of their street receiving the funding. Tom Quinn acted as their representative and cited a 1989 village study which examined costs to repair the three streets. Under the federal/provincial infrastructure program $150,000 is being offered, Quinn would like to see Bank Street North the first street looked after. Councillor Mary Sutherland proposed that the infrastructure money go to that particular street where residents have felt they have been duped for too long. *** PORT PERRY -- Mayor Howard Hall and some of the business people are not happy with how their municipality was treated by a film production-team in Port Perry recently. In fact, he is looking at ways to clamp down on the problem. He said the team was only supposed to be in town for three days, but then that was extended to six days. Mayor Hall said he fielded numerous calls from local business owners and shoppers alike regarding the confusion experienced. The municipality will be looking at how in the future it can be compensated for the inconveniences that go along with a movie shoot. *** OSHAWA -- Racist pamphlets warning white women to stay away from non-white men have surfaced the second time in two weeks, Durham Regional Police say. The police say the pamphlets were found by residents in the Taunton and Wilson Road area and the Rossland and Wilson area. Don Jacyshyn found one of the pamphlets on the driveway to his home on Attersley Drive when he returned from his cottage on Sunday. He said the material gave him goose bumps. The pamphlets warn that white women who have sexual relations with non-white men are being watched. The police are looking at the possibility of whether the laying of charges would have a positive effect on the reduction of leaflet drop-offs in this area of Durham Region. As Staff SgL Sandy Ryrie puts it, "It might send out the wrong message if someone got off on the charges (laid)." more comfortable for wearing after being washed, Taws noted. Tied in with the fundraiser is a display at the municipality's administration administration building. Taws noted the t- shirts could also be picked up from tiie Community Services Department Department for the same price as at the museum. Diving into the history of the Cream of Barley Mill, he noted the cereal was made here in Bowman- ville until the mid-1950s. The original original owners of the mill probably began began manufacturing it at the tum-of- the-century. At that time, "barley and apples were the big crops in this area." So, it made sense to mill the barley barley here and to create a breakfast cereal cereal from a local product. As for the taste and texture, Taws said, "It was much like cream of wheat." Other products made at the mill included pan-dried powdered pea soup. It should also be noted, that the son-in-law of the original owners of the mill, a J. Lake Morden, also created the Cream of Barley Tourist Camp in 1919. The tourist camp with a petting zoo later became the Bowmanvillc Zoo. Taws also noted one of the promotional promotional gimmicks used by the owners of the mill in the 1920's was to send a truck with the Cream of Barley logo on it across the country. "Inside would be samples of the products to give to people," Taws said. The last owner of the mill was Alfie Shrubb, the marathon runner who settled in Bowmanvillc with his family.
