-- RSET TE Two earn top honour Port McNicoll can claim not one but two Canada Cord recipients. First Port McNicoll Pathfinders Jen- nifer Dagg and Tracy-Lynn Cadieux are the first village Pathfinders to earn Guiding's top honour. Guiding in the village has recessed for the summer. 'Never on a Sunday' Store owner asks to open holidays The owner of the largest grocery outlet in Port McNicoll has asked the village to declare his store a tourist business so he can be open on some statutory holidays. He stressed, however, that he does not want to open Sundays. "I'm not speaking of Sunday open- ings -- I'm against it," said Jim Whittaker Jr., who owns the Knetchel super- market on First Street. "Sunday is a family day." Holiday Mondays, however, are just too potentially lucrative to stay closed, Whittaker told the village council at its mon- thly meeting last Wednes- day. If he must shut his doors during the upcoming long weekends, the store will miss out on the valued business of area cottagers. ralhesen not an unreasonable man," Whit- taker said. 'I live within the means of the law."' His store employees 25 people, all of them from Port Gave at the office : Port Port MecNicoll coun- cillors have responded to a local French high school's request for money by say- ing they 'gave at the of- fice." Ecole Secondaire Le Caron sent a letter re- questing funds from area municipal councils to be put toward "rewarding" graduating students. "In order to recognize the efforts of our graduates as well as those of other deserving students," the letter says, "'we would like, as is the custom, to reward them all in a tangible way." But village councillors said they already donated because of the school board levy included in their annual budget. ' Deputy MeNicoll, he said. All the councillors at the meeting said the store's re- quest will be granted. 'All you have to do is make up a bylaw and we'll pass it," Reeve Ross Cameron instructed the clerk. Reeve John Moreau, who sold his Fourth Avenue convenience store shortly before the Knetchel chain moved in, declared a con- flict of interest and left his seat to join the press gallery while the matter was discussed. The reeve still owns the building where the Valu-Mart con- tinues to operate. Before he left his seat he said about the Knetchel store's re- quest, "'Ifit's a tourist area I can live with it.' Whittaker will submit a list of the statutory holidays he wants to be open for business. The village can limit him to those specific dates. Declaring it a tourist business would not give it -- or anyone else in town -- a licence to operate Sundays. The IGA store in nearby Victoria Harbour has a similar arrangement with that municipality. Before the recent Vic- toria Day weekend Whit- taker says he was under the assumption the village was already a tourist area. On the holiday Monday of that Whittaker weekend, he says, he had to rope off part of his store in order to meet maximum floor space requirements under the law which allows some stores to do business on holidays.
