After four months of renovations, Brother's is now a first-class dining room with a beer and wine licence. Free Press Photo by Mike Burgess Rumours that MeNamnara Marine is pulling out of Whitby are "absoluite non- sense",acocig to Jack White, vice-prýesicent of' the company's local branchi. Il (the runiouir) is an absoluitejoke", said Mr. White. The Frec Press had lieard that the cornpany lias released a mnmhcr of emipluy- ces in the recent past bccuse it wvas pulling out of Whit by. Mr. White did say thiat the size of'[lhe staff bias cropped f romn approximiately 70 during the conmpany's peak period in July to about 35 but explained it by saying. "MeNatmaýra. Marine is simiply sc.hling hack its operation to suit the depressed nature of the CCunIoiniy. to McNamara idiscontinuing are absulute nonsense", he said. Mr Whiitip nointcd out thiat at the company's operations throughout Canada and that the cutbacks include ail levels of personnel. Phone-in pizza place becomes firstmclass dining room It's awftilly tough to be believe that Brother's Pizza and Submiarine of the past and Brother's Pizza, Spaghetti House and Suibmarine ut the present are the doing of the sarneima n. Even that man --Otto Provenzano - shakes his liead in disbelief. But. both we and hie will tell yoLi that the change is l'or the better. It took M r. Provenzano. the owner, four mion ths - \,.from Jukne to Oct ber - to cumnplete the imipressive ph-;sical transfornmaiion of biis eatery froîn a phone-yotir- urder-in pizza outlet tu a first class dining roomn. I t took "a good year" to obtain the beer and wine licence tu miake îfiat transformation worthwhile. You would feel bad if you dropped food on the fluor. Back then ...well ... The fluor, on which you wouldn't want tu drop food,is covered with plush carpetting, The chairs ---ii;nufactured in Yogoslovîa and assembled in Canada- and the tables -- adorned with red linen table-, cloths, fine white place mnats and flickering candies - imake for comrfortable accodcation of 33 peuple. Dressing the front window are red velvet drapes at a cost of $1 ,200. But, possibly the most im- pressive feature of the new Brother's is the unusual stucco ceiling. Icycles appear tu be hanging from it like something you migbt sec in a cave in a science-fiction movie. The dimmied lighiting pro- vided by a wagon wheel chandelier adds the final touchi. Price tag for the renova- tions: S30,006. That is $7,000 mnore than Mr. Provenzano paid fo r tbe building when lie boughtit î jusi over three years ago. But, he thinks thecoroplete overhaul was worth the expenise. Scec what ynu think.
