New Restaurant in Peterborough

Well, it looks like the site of the Electric Clove has barely had a chance to cool down! There is a new restaurant going in there called Bacchus. The signage is already up so it will be interesting to see what evolves in that space!

Freezer's On the Bottom Aren't a New Thing at All!

I had no idea ... I thought that the new models of refrigerators with the freezers on the bottom instead of the top was just the newest thing. A visit to T.J. Cavanagh Ltd in Peterborough told me otherwise. They've been around for 72 years and seen it all. Most interestingly though, on the wall, was an ad from 1965 which showed a Frigidaire model with...yes, you guessed it: the freezer on the bottom! You really do learn something new everyday!

G&M Article: New regulations in works for sale of homemade food

"New rules regulating homemade jams, pies and other food sold at farmers' markets and roadside stands are in the works, said Health Minister George Smitherman.

Inspection of the products sold at the popular markets became a political issue last fall when some Eastern Ontario farmers accused public health officials of being overly aggressive with provincial guidelines governing food safety.

Mr. Smitherman said the new rules for the $600-million-a-year industry could be ready as early as the fall. CP"
