Hobbies
can turn
a profit

SOMETIMES A HOBBY,
such as making crafts or
gardening for the fanner’s
market, can turn into a full
time business. There are
number of market success
stories in Canada.

Celia Cox of Halifax took
cuttings, collected dried
moss and filled pots with
dried flowers. Her arrange-
ments appealed to other
people and she set up a
small business to make ar-
rangements for weddings
and restaurants.

Soon her small garden
couldn't supply all the flow-
ers. So she went into part-
nership with a friend, and
they bought a 160 acre farm.
Now they run ‘‘Naturally
Nova Scotia,” a retail shop
in a restored barn.

When Christine Lepard of
Cambridge, Ontario needed
a job, she began selling
perennials, She was flab-
bergasted at the response.

She purchased = green
houses to grow plants in the
winter and now operates
‘Canning Perennials.’’

Pat Crocher of Mt. Forest,
Ontario has made a study of
herbs and their uses. She
now shares her knowledge:
in classes, nature walks and
luncheons. She has invested
in 250 types of herbs in ber
teaching gardens, —

Retiring to family life

B.C. While there in 1956 he met his future
wife -— Isabelle. Isabelle was one of the
young ladies taking part in the Miss Kam-

Toops contest at that time. Since Ken was a
single guy he was asked to escort her to dif-

IT’S NOT often five generations of a fam-
ily can gather together. It’s an experience
Ken Fuergutz recently enjoyed.

Many of you were used to seeing Ken for
years at Sight and Sound. Well, he’s now
retired and doing what he loves best —
that’s spending time with his family.

Ken’s mother, Eva Fuergutz, recently
travelled here from Kamloops for a-small
family gathering, which included Ken’s
daughter Breada, her daughter Carrie and
her baby Michaella Collier, all from
Kitimat.

Ken’s parents, Charlie and Eva, originally
came from Saskatchewan. Charlie was a
partsman at a garage there, Later he became
a mechanic and a blacksmith.

In 1952 Ken moved to Kelowna to join a
school buddy. He worked at many jobs,
finally ending up as a bank teller, making
$900 a year. It wasn’t bad money in those
days, and Ken says it was one of his
favourite jobs.

Later Ken moved back to Kamloops to
live with his parents who'd also moved to

ferent functions.

And of course, one thing led to another
and on May 4, 1957 Ken and Isabelle were

miarried in Kamloops.

At that time Ken was working in the of-
fice of a sawmill. Unfortunately the saw-
mill burned down while they were on their

honeymoon.

So Ken held a variety of jobs until 1969 .
when he moved to Terrace to work for Pa-
cific Northern Gas. Finally he went to work
for Gordi McConnell at Sight and Sound as

a photo developer.

From here Ken purchased Portrait Studio
and started his own business in 1975. And
now, Ken has retired from Sight and Sound.

Keun and Isabelle had five children and 16

grandchildren.
Michaclla was born Jast December.
Happy retirement Ken!

The waiter took away the “Reserved”
sign as the five ladles squeezed around the
small ringside table.

"Enjoy the show, ladies. What would
yau like to drink?”

As the ladies ordered their drinks, one
of the women at the next table recognized
her neighbour in the new group.

“Gillian, what a surprise; thought you .”

were So Stralght-laced. What are you doing
at the Superbar’s male striptease Ladies
Night?”

Gillian blushed. She mumbled. “It's
my birthday. My friends Insisted that we
come here." Suddenly Gillian screwed up
her courage,

“And what are you doing here, Miss
Woman of the World.”

Gillian’s neighbor grinned from ear to
ear. “| wouldn't miss Ladies Night for the
world. Too much fun, Just you walt and
see,”

The lights dimmed, and the male strip-
tease routine started. The crowd of women
went wild laughing, joking, yelling at the top
cf their lungs.

“Take It off, take it off, why are you
taking so much timelll HHH"

In the back of the room, the two own .
ers were standing counting the crowd.

“Jerry, the smartest thing we ever did
was to turn Monday's into Ladies Night, who
would have thought the ladies would pack
the place?”

Jerry, the other owner, looked a little
worried. “Ben, have you seen that guy over
there before? Looks like a shakedown
artist.”

Jerry peered over and returned to his
counting. "Nah, nothing to worry, He’s been
here several Ladies Nights before. Must be
one of “those,”

The next day, Jerry was pacing back
and forth in his office and waving a piece af

volce. . °

“You know who that guy was standing
around last night? An inspector from the
Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority.
See this paper, They're closing our restaur:
ant down for five days. Says we've violated
the Alcohol Control Regulation section
which forbids a striptease in a place which
has a Jiquor license.”

' “So what are you gaing to do?”

“Fight It, that's what. We stand to
lose too much money if we shut down
Ladies Night. That section is unconstitu-
tianal. Against freedom of expression, Put
on your coat, Ben. We're going to court.”

The Superbar was still hot when it
argued: “Your Honour, the provision in the
Alcohol Control Regulations that prevents
striptease routines is against the Charter.
It vialates the freedom of expression guar-
antee. Make the Commission lift the sus-
pension of our restaurant permit."

The Liquor and Gaming Authority
replied: “Your Honour, the provision in the
Alcohol Contral Regulations does not
violate the Charter’s freedom of expression
clause. The provision is part of the condi-
tlons to obtain a liquor license. |f the bar
wishes to-keep its licence, it must obey the
rules,”

Should the suspension against the
Superbar be lifted?
