Travel news, views : (NER! by Carol Crawford Tips for dining and nightlife in the Carib- bean to help you get the most out of your holiday are being offered here: Dining in the islands can be one of the most rewarding aspects of your holiday. Culinary offerings range from the piquant to the potent: from the subtle richness of a white sauce laced with Calvados on St. Martin to a spicy "pork sauce"' on Trinidad that will have you looking for the nearest water fountain. Even if your never ending battle with an expanding waistline keeps you on carrot juice and cottage cheese during most of the year, splurge for awhile during your holiday. After all, it's only a week or two. If you are registered on _ the Ruropean Plan (no meals) you will have ample opportunity to sample the local eating spots, many of which specialize in a par- ticular style of cuisine. Hotel guests on the Modified American Plan (MAP) pay for breakfast and dinner with their rooms - which is fine if your budget won't allow for much restaurant hopping, and if the hotel kitchens are good. --Most in-house eateries are good but, because they are also geared to please as many palates as possible, you may find that your menu is not vastly different from what you would get in a restaurant at home. So if you're thinking of Map'ing it on your holiday, ask about the kind of meals you can _ expect at your hotel. Note: some hotel dining rooms offer their MAP guests exchange privileges with those at other hotels, thereby giving them the chance of eating~ somewhere Here are more tips to follow found on many Jamaican menus, is just a local epithet for spinach. It's good too. After a day of touring, fishing, or basking in the sun, all you may want to do is sit back on the patio or balcony and listen to the waves roll up on the shore. But if you're restless, or find your second wind when the sun goes down, you may feel the urge to lively than others. Gambling? Casinos and casino hotels are major attractions on a number of islands. Younger vacationers will require a passport- type identification to prove that they are old enough to gamble (21 years is the minimum at most gambling houses).

Chapter 122. (a) 20 ROBERT STREET WEST-STE. ANN'S CHURCH -Construction began in 1886 but the building was not opened until 1902. It was a further two years before pews were added. The church was built because of the strength, determination of Rev. D.T. Laboureau. He arrived in Penetanguishene in 1873 and from that time forth he igained enough admiration and respect that when he proposed the erection of a monumental church to honour the Canadian Martyrs, the parishioners were in full support. Once permission was granted, Father Laboureau made extensive travels through Canada and France to raise the necessary funds. The site chosen overlooks both the town and the bay and is one of the greatest landmarks which distinguishes Penetanguishene from other harbour towns. In 1909 three bells cast in France were installed in the church along with the bell from the original log church. The church, made of rough finished, cut fieldstone, rock faced granite, and trimmed with red Credit Valley stone and white Nottawasaga sandstone, follows the Romanesque style after which it was designed. Further design features which fall into the Romanesque style are the round headed windows with column supports, and the semi-circular headed windows cut from the wall in the blind archading on the east and west facades. These windows are adorned with stained glass, giving the church another unique quality. The six chimney stacks on the gable roof show a diversion from the true 11th to 13th centuries Romanesque to a more Gothic style. It has been suggested that this could be a characteristic of the 19th century Romanesque. The architect also may have wanted to convey the height, established by the front facade along the 140 foot depth of the building. (b) 14 WATER STREET In 1859, the prominent local merchant and first mayor, Alfred Andrew Thom- pson, built this house, a classic example of the Georgian Style of architecture. The Thompson family's active involvement in the politics of the municipality is TOWN OF MIDLAND 1981 MUNICIPAL TAXES FINAL BILLING In accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Act and pursuant to By-law No. 81-30, the final instalment of Realty and Business Taxes for 1981 will become due and payable on Sep- tember 30th, 1981.

Goodchild Treasurer-Administrator 68,69 NOTICE RESIDENTS TOWN OF MIDLAND The Municipal Council of the Corporation of the Town of Midland intends to pass the necessary By- law to increase the sewage service rates to customer users sufficient to produce revenue for the operation of the Sewage Treatment System. Council has differentiated between classes of users, nature and volume of use to ensure that the rates imposed are quitable and just.

The stone wall extending along the front border of the property, the two chimney stacks at the corners of the hip roof peak, the structural openings (windows, doors) and the more recently added verandah all support the house's symmetry which, above all else, is most important in Georgian styling. The main door with its side lights, transom light and defining pilasters also bolster the symmetry of the house. Although the flemish bond red brick exterior is not very decorative, it does have significance in that the bricks were hand made. The home of the prominent industrialist J.T. Payette, was built in 1918. He became the owner of the P. Payette Co. Foundry in 1914. As a shrewd businessman, .his interests branched out to include lumbering and a summer hotel in addition to the foundry and machine shop. J.T. Payette was also an avid horse racing fan and built a race track between Robert St. E. and Edward St. In 1921, he was elected Mayor and served a three year term. This square, two-storey building of brick stretcher bond construction Is unique and of a significant local style and exhibits many classical revival features. The ionic columns supporting the open verandah which almost encircles the house, and the decorative corner brackets of a corinthian nature and ornamented with leaves, provide much of the classical style for the house. The belvedere at the peak of the hip roof a:zs2dd< to the building's classical appearance. The front door is flanked on either side by side lights and overhead there is a transom light separated from the door and side lights by a wood entablature. The first storey windows have cut sione head surrounds and lug sills and are glazed with two panes. The upper pane is half the size of the lower pane. Another disinctive feature is the square holes left in the rear portion of the cut stone wall which supports the verandah. Built when the wall was constructed, they are thought to be storage holes for drying wood for use in the fireplace. Any person may, before the 21 day of September, 1981, send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Town of Penetanguishene, notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the 2bjection and all relevant facts.
