Page 6, Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, March 11, 1987 Pays Plat Pizza Place Plus can please many palates By Ken Lusk If Peter Piper, who picked a peck of pickled.peppers, felt like a pizza, he would probably go to the Pays Plat Pizza Place Plus. The new pizza place, operated by Real Bouchard and his mother Gladys, opened in early January. Bee ST. PATRICKS SPECIAL Grasshopper Cream Layer Torte 2 Layers $17.50 Call Pe: SE.

There are no jobs in Pays Plat and it also keeps Gladys busy said Real. "I'm the silent partner," he said.

Real explained that business comes in cycles. '"When people are working, business goes up, and when they're not working, business goes down,"' he said. Real funded the entire operation with his own money and what is left over is the amount they will continue to work with. If that runs dry they will discontinue the opera- tion. "It won't be for lack of try- ing," said Real. Real has a Bachelor of Ad- ministration Degree and he is in- corporating the skills he learned in- to the new business. He said the operation does not receive any help from the reserve Council because it is a commercial undertaking. If it were just a residence, the Council would help to renovate if any repairs were needed. "*The Chief was receptive to our idea but we're on our own,"' said Real. The major source of revenue right now is the movie rentals. But sales from chips and pop for the Pays Plat monthly bingo games has helped considerably, Real said. The pizza place sells about 10 cases of pop for the once-a-month bingo game. The Volunteer Fireman in Rossport also buy for their bingo games. Real said those games are smaller in scale and run usually once a week. Various goods Besides pizza, the store also sells cigarettes, pop, popcorn, chips, chocolate bars, hot dogs and coffee. The pizza place also rents video cassette recorders and has about 80 movies that Real has bought outright from a distributor in Thunder Bay. In turn, Real can lease the movies to other outlets in Schreiber, like the Voyageur, or in Terrace Bay. : When it comes to what is sold "We take note of what people Mary says Why did the chicken cross the road? I don't care how many answers you know - that chicken was one smart chicken - the best way into the Hall of Game is through fowl play! That chicken knew that alive it was nothing - just another dumb bird. But in the hands of a cook like Sudha Arora it could achieve culinary immortality. I refer to course to The Recipe . of the Week in the Feb. 25 issue of our paper. Did you try it? Tan- doori Chicken is a delighful change from the curry dishes we have come to expect from India. I was especially pleased with the use of natural yogurt, convinced that fre- quent servings of yogurt are an im- portant factor in good physical and mental health. It is not expensive if one makes it at home and there are many appliances on the market to do this. My problem is to per- .suade N. that it is not just soured milk, a condition he had to put up with often on a farm with no elec- tricity. I tell him it's almost cottage cheese, which they used extensive- ly, but still have to resort to trickery to get it into him: make up a batch using cereal cream instead of milk, add dill, celery salt, chives and a dash of mayo and serve with baked potatoes; sweeten and spice it and add fruits for dessert. Make the dough for his perogies with the plain milk kind of yogurt, or a cou- ple .of, loaves of. sparkling. white bread. want," said Real. If they can get it for them, they will try. The Bouchards mentioned that five babies will be born this sum- mer on the reserve. They want to have Huggies available for sale by that time. Not many vehicles Real explained that the services they provide are very beneficial to many residents on the reserve. There are not many vehicles there so residents cannot go to Rossport, Schreiber or Terrace Bay very often to get groceries. People can get the essentials right in Pays Plat. He added the delivery service, for a minimum charge, is good for people in Rossport because now they can drive five minutes to Pays Plat for a pizza instead of 20 minutes to Schreiber. The Pays Plat Pizza Place Plus can have a piping hot pizza in Rossport in one half hour from the time they receive a call. "*It hasn't caught on in Rossport yet," said Real. '"We have to be more forceful and get our message across there."' Real has figured that the total number of households in Pays Plat and Rossport that can use the ser- vices is 60. Real said he looked in Schreiber to compare prices for different items in order to make his prices competitive. Small operation Real wants to keep the operation small. Only him and his mother work there, but Debbie Bouchard will begin training at the store this week as part of the Futures program. Debbie is Real's sister-in-law and she will learn general. retail knowledge, merchandising and counterwork, Real said. The Pays Plat Pizza Place Plus is open six days a week, Monday to Saturday, from noon until 6 p.m. But once the Futures placment starts there, Real said they might stay pen until nine or ten at night.

I'm go- ing back sixty odd-years, to the lit- tle town of Neepawa in Manitoba. We kept our own chickens for a few years until some poly- unsaturated snob persuaded Coun- cil to pass a By-law outlawing such noisy, smelly (!) creatures as chickens, goats- even rabbits, from the residential zone. I heard that person finally went off her rocker and refused to eat anything but boiled potatoes. Well, that was the rumor anyway. Mother and Dad had to draw a fine line between having fresh eggs in the house, and a stuffed, roasted chicken for 'company' dinners. My brother and I usually spoiled the occasion by wailing loudly at the table - "Waa-a-ah - I can't eat that - you killed Toesy" (or Misty or Cranky or Fluffy), "'I know you did!" Guests, shmests - those peo- ple didn't care about kids and pets! But oboy, how we changed as we grew up. Chinese chicken, Ukrainian chicken, German chicken (with stuffing dumplings), India chicken, Cajun chicken, Ita- tian chicken - you name it. No pheasant-under-glass, no nightingale-tongue-pate, could please the Canadian palate as does the humble chicken. Long may it
