ounded in 1895, DC Taylor Jewellers is still a family business operated by brothers Creighton, Paul, Jeff and John Taylor. Today the business has grown from Owen Sound into Collingwood, and their latest success story in Barrie.

What’s the secret to your success? We always remember that each piece of jewellery is more important to our customer than just its monetary value. That’s one reason why we maintain our own repair shop. We take pride in doing that work ourselves rather than farming it out, like most jewellery stores. It shows respect for our customers, and their treasures. We also create custom jewellery in-house. For example, a bride looking for a one-of-a-kind engagement ring can meet directly

with the designer, collaborate on the details, and end up with a ring that’s absolutely perfect. It’s those personal touches that make DC Taylor worthy of a special trip.

Italy. Of course, DC Taylor is always a destination for premium watches, including Tudor and Rolex.

What brands do you carry? We’re picky when it comes to our brands as they reflect the store’s personality and the sensibility of our customer. So you’ll find popular brands like Alex & Ani and Michael Kors balanced with famous names in fine-jewellery like Simon G from Los Angeles and Gabriel & Co. from New York. We have unique bridal designs with a Celtic flavour from MaeVona, Breuning and Keith Jack Bridal Jewellery from Europe and True Romance engagement rings. On the fashion side, we have exclusive lines like SOHO, Pesavento, and Nomination from

PeoPle are surPrised to learn: Walk into a DC Taylor store and you’re likely to find a member of the Taylor family on the scene. We’re proud to have the fifth generation working with us today. What motivates you to come to Work each day? There’s a tremendous satisfaction in helping someone choose a spectacular gift for a loved one. These are life-changing moments in the lives of our customers and their families, and we’re honoured to play our small part.

Brands/products you carry: Brabay carries only top quality name brands. For Bras: Chantelle, Empreinte, Simone Perele, PrimaDonna, Aubade and Elixir by Lejaby, to name a few. Breastforms by Amoena, Loungewear and Sleepwear, Hosiery, Swimwear from Shan, Sunflair and much more.

people are surprised to know: 80% of all women are wearing the wrong sized bra. Usually it’s because the average retailer does not carry their proper size. At Brabary we carry band sizes starting at 30 to 54 and cup sizes AA to L. Let us find the proper size for you! what inspired you to open? Jane DeCola, owner, found herself travelling to Toronto. “I found the experience of shopping in a boutique specializing in personal care and expert bra fitting made all the difference in the way my clothes fit.” So I decided to bring this concept to Barrie, and have recently opened a second location in downtown Collingwood. what’s your favourite neighBourhood to shop in? I like to shop locally where I know the owners and their staff.

elanie Barrett is where she wants to be. “People tell me that I should expand and make my restaurant bigger,” says the owner of downtown Barrie’s Groovy Tuesday’s Bistro, “but I like it small, that way I can see and interact with all of my diners. Getting a bigger space would change that, and make it less personal.” Happy with her 32-seat bistro, the local restauranteur recently sat down with us and chefs, Sarah Jones and Justin McNutt, about her popular eatery and its casual dining fare.

73 Collier St., Barrie 705.721.0302 www.groovytuesdays.ca reservations@ groovytuesdaysbistro.com

What dreW you to the restaurant business? I have a degree in sociology and English, and one in social work, and trust me, I use my social work training every day. I started in the local restaurant business in 1998 at Filthy McNasty’s, and other than year off in Australia, I’ve never left. I also worked at Oscars, helped open At the Five and then landed here.

and served with homemade beer-battered onion rings. What’s your food philosophy? To put our best plate forward. From our breads and pastas to our desserts, we make absolutely everything from scratch. Being consistent with the quality of our food is really important to us.

hoW Would you describe the menu? Our menu is small, fresh and always changing. Chef Sarah, says it’s a very comfort-food-focused menu, but we like to switch it up and make it a bit snazzier. The dishes are well known, but there’s always something original to the recipe. When people come here, they know they are going to get something a little different.

Why is changing your menu important? We change our menu four times a year, because I think it’s important to be constantly evolving and challenging yourself. It helps to fuel the passion. We love what we do and we love impressing people. This philosophy seems to be working for us because we’ve noticed an increase in our business in the last year and a half. They say it takes five years to know if a restaurant is going to make it, and I think we’ve turned that corner.

What are the most popular dishes? The cauliflower wedges just fly out of the kitchen. Our homemade soups, pastas and risottos are also super popular. People also love our cobb salad, steaks, pan-seared scallops, and lunchtime homemade burgers. Every day we do a different burger topping at lunch. For example, today’s burger is topped with coconut curry sauce, roasted cauliflower, grilled portobello mushrooms

describe the atmosphere. Fun! It’s a casual elegant atmosphere with an open kitchen, so guests can watch their food being prepared — which they seem to love. Because there is no divide between the front and back of the house, the chefs and serving staff always have their eyes on the floor making sure that everyone is taken care of. Along with our

tables, our 11-seat bar is also super popular with people fighting over the corner seats. Sarah says our dining room has a very warm atmosphere and that eating at Groovy’s feels like eating at someone’s home. treating guests and staff like family seems to be important to you. Our staff are very close, and we really are like a small family that looks out for each other. Building strong relationships with our regular customers is also important to us. Even though we are a bit bossy sometimes and tell people what wine to drink, or what dish to order, our customers really seem to like it here. hoW do you accommodate diners With special dietary needs? We are definitely a “say yes” restaurant. We always try to accommodate a diner’s special dietary needs, whether it’s vegan, gluten-free or an allergy. And we go all out with these dishes because we want to give them the same dining experience as our other guests. do you cater? We do a ton of private events in here, including weddings. It’s a perfect space to have an intimate atmosphere to yourself.

TELL ME HOW THE CONCEPT OF “THE MILL MARKET” CAME ABOUT? We always sold feed to the local farmers for their animals when we had the mill and we thought it would be great if we could complete the circle and sell healthy food for our human customers. Consumers have become more and more food savvy and want more variety, so we wanted to step it us and keep with the food trends so we diversiﬁed to selling food grown locally. HOW DO YOU PICK YOUR SOURCES? Our customers are the best 42

source. I have been given names of people to visit at farmer’s markets, local chefs have recommended suppliers and other foodies have recommended family businesses. We try to get as many local products as possible and I meet with the suppliers to see what they are about and their philosophy on food. I try to sample as much as possible but sometimes my wife, Sheila or staff need to help as I cannot handle spicy food. We have 85 local food suppliers, 15 from Alliston area.

WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN GEM? The Homestead Tea biscuits and Homestead Artisan Sour Dough bread. There is many a time when I pick them up, the sour dough bread goes right from the oven into our vehicle to bring to the store and I almost need oven mitts. We have many people leave us with their order to ensure they can get some before we sell out. WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE? People love the story behind the food and I think we are trying to do a good job of that. On our Savoury Saturdays, a local producer comes in to offer samples, talk how they make the food and hand out recipes. g

Mill Market AL L I STON F E ED SER VIC E F OOD T HAT IN SPIRES! I can remember a time when a customer asked me if this milk is fresh and I said, “the best way to ﬁnd out is to ask the gentleman behind you because the milk came from the cows he milked.”

29 Young St., Alliston

WHAT CAN WE LOOK TO IN THE FUTURE? We would like to expand our food product line with additional fresh baked goods and local vegetables. We think more customers would enjoy the fresh C.S.A. vegetable boxes in the spring. Getting out in the community is another goal so we can let people know what we are all about.

The warm touches from the original home blend perfectly with the luscious fabrics and textures of the updated décor. It is licensed for 140 people, including the patio. With the restaurant being ooded with catering requests, the demand led us to offer The North Catering. As an award-winning Chef Marco and his team offer their signature dishes to make your corporate event or private gathering a memorable event that will quickly become a tradition. I started in the kitchen as a young boy in Portugal. My grandmother had a catering company and by the time I was 12, I was working parttime in a professional kitchen. Combined with my culinary training at Humber College, I have been fortunate to do what I love and be acclaimed for my work. My passion for cooking has stayed constant through the years, and I love change,

new techniques and challenging my culinary skills. I was honoured to receive the Readers’ Choice Award for favourite chef for many years. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported me over the years. WHAT ARE YOUR SIGNATURE DISHES? Our diners favour our rack of lamb, sea bass, calamari, sushi roll and our prosciutto. It is important to me to create a diverse and ever-changing menu and diners enjoy the variety offered. I like to intrigue people by dabbling in new foods and being on the cutting edge, with a mind to always maintaining and enhancing the ne dining experience. WHAT’S THE ONE THING PEOPLE NEED TO TRY BEFORE LEAVING YOUR ESTABLISHMENT? People rave about our desserts. We like to treat our customers and when they leave we want them to feel that they have had a special experience. We have been known to delight groups with an element of

surprise in our presentation. Great traditions are grandmother’s mouthwatering butter tarts, warm chocolate lava cake, and my personal favourite, banana cream pie. WHAT’S THE STRANGEST THING YOU’VE EVER EATEN? At The North, we love to try new things such as our Wild Game Festival in the fall that introduces sensational dishes that accentuate the unique taste of kangaroo, wild boar, squab, and venison. I enjoy shaking things up. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE INGREDIENT? That has to be our beef as we dry age our beef, which is an involved process that makes the beef tastier and more tender. We are the only local kitchen to dry age ribeye and striploin for 45 days and the results are worth the effort. Fresh ingredients and unique products from Chinatown or farmers’ markets are also inspiring with their abundance of unique textures, colours and aromas.

ommy Tran’s philosophy is, “Always strive to do better.” Which is why his popular T.O.M.I. NAILS salon on Essa Road has been the recipient of thirteen coveted awards in the seven years since it opened. Five prestigious Top Choice, Mark of Excellence Awards for business (2014-2018), five Readers’ Choice Awards (2013-2017) and The Best of Barrie five years running (2011-2015). “We do waxing, manicures and pedicures from regular to deluxe, shellac manicure, nail enhancement and permanent hair removal,” says Mr. Tran. “I specialize in solar nails, a CND exclusive.” Mr. Tran also insists that his salon exceeds the standard required by the Department of Health. “Our salon is very hygienic with the latest technology. It’s a clean, sanitized, relaxed environment,” he says. “I want to raise the standard and the bar all the time. We even have a hightech ventilation system, so guests won’t experience fumes.” The salon’s success has much to do with Mr. Tran’s commitment to excellence. “I want to contribute to Canada,” he says with deep emotion. “I appreciate it every

day. It gave me a home.” Becoming a Canadian citizen in 2001 was a proud moment for Mr. Tran, but his remarkable story of how he got here began decades earlier at the tender age of ten. “I was a boat person,” he recalls. “The last of the boat people to get out. After us, they sent the others back.” The memory of his harrowing journey is so haunting that he still chokes up today in the retelling of it. “We were on the sea for ten days and ten nights. 136 people crammed together on a small fishing boat. We ran out of food and thought we were going to die.” Rescue came at the last tenuous moment from a Norwegian ship. Tran and his aunts were then transferred to a refugee camp in Singapore until his uncle in Canada could sponsor him. He spent the next ten years in Ottawa then enrolled in Georgian College with the ambition of becoming a Computer Program Analyst. But when he learned of family members’ dire struggle in Vietnam he nobly quit school to work fulltime in his uncle’s nail salon at Bayfield Mall so he could send money home and sponsor them.

A year later Tran opened his own salon so he could employ his family. “They’re here now,” he says happily. “Both parents, my two brothers and my sister. They all own houses. My brother opened a salon and restaurant in Burlington.” All are contributing. While his college education was interrupted, Mr. Tran insists on “constantly learning.” His latest achievement was in getting his financial license in his spare time. He is now Marketing Director for the World Financial Group. “I’ve learned to manage my own money and I want to help others,” he says. “I always want to challenge myself.” In his quest to better his salon Tommy Tran is launching a new permanent hair removal product from Israel into his services this September. Epilfree is a hair inhibitor that is applied to the follicle after waxing. It was developed by an innovator who worked for Christian Dior. “We always introduce new and better advancements and implement it into our service here,” says Mr. Tran proudly. “We’re always improving.”

Darlene started Skinsational in Owen Sound in 1984. Aesthetics was a new and relatively unknown field at the time, so public education was a key part of the young entrepreneur’s job. After almost 30 years of serving the residents of Barrie, Skinsational has become a multi-generational spa of choice for families. Client who first came as teens now bring their children. “Many of our clients have been

with us since we started,” says Darlene. “Now we have their whole families coming to us. We always make sure we have a great welcoming atmosphere for them at the spa.” In November Skinsational introduced a new machine to rejuvenate the skin and firm the muscles. This works by increasing the molecular energy of the skin through ionization, thermal energy to increase collagen production and oxygenate the skin and lift the skin through muscle stimulation. Ideal for the clients that wish to avoid Botox and fillers. Skinsational has also recently brought in a new line of cosmeceutical products called Vie. This scientific line is formulated for clients that want the next level in skin care. Formulated with EGF’s, Hyaluronic Acids,

vitamins, antioxidants, peptides and encapsulated glycolic it provides advanced solutions to improve and correct aging skins. The aestheticians at Skinsational can work with you for one facial and a home care regime to benefit your skin or set you up with a customized series to optimize your results.

BETTER SLEEP Dental Solutions

www.B E T T E R SL EEPD EN TAL.C A 70

etter Sleep Dental Solutions is dedicated to improving the lives of people that snore, or suffer with obstructive sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition in which the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep. It affects 10% of all adults and affects men more than women with up to one in six men over 50 having obstructive sleep apnea. This condition is usually accompanied with snoring and often results in poor sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue, and can result in serious cardiovascular consequences including high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke. The associated daytime sleepiness that can accompany severe sleep apnea makes sufferers seven times more likely to have a car accident. Oral appliance therapy can be used as first line treatment for snoring and moderate sleep apnea, or for those with severe sleep apnea who have not been

able to tolerate the alternative CPAP treatment. Treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea can significantly improve physical and mental health and quality of life by reducing daytime fatigue and sleepiness, and reducing consequences of high blood pressure. With locations in both Midland and Barrie Better Sleep Dental Solutions will work with your physician and sleep specialist to provide scientifically endorsed oral appliance therapy. Dr. Don Farquhar has been practising general dentistry for over 30 years and has been treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring for the past 10 years. He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and is currently vice-chair and instructor of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine’s “Essentials of Dental Sleep Medicine” course which trains dentists from across North America.

icole Brunelle has been a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) for 33 years, is a Restorative Dental Hygienist (RRDH), and has many years of experience in clinical and theory orthodontics. Nicole enjoyed 25 years working with dentists from Penetanguishene to Toronto. In 2007, when the Government allowed Dental Hygienists to work separately from a dentist, Nicole started Genesis Dental Hygiene Care, an independent dental hygiene Practice. Seven years ago Genesis became uniquely a biological (holistic) practice. What Is Biological Dentistry? Biological dentistry is concerned with the effects of all dental materials, techniques and procedures on the whole body, treating causes rather than symptoms toward the goal of

restoring and sustaining health. The essence of biological dentistry is to provide oral health care in a less toxic, more individualized, and more environmentally friendly way. Nicole’s dental hygiene Practice, while providing the clinical services of assessing, scaling, polishing, and individualized oral hygiene instruction, also incorporates the use of a Phase Contrast Microscope. “Seeing the bacteria in your mouth floating around on a monitor is worth a thousand words. Clients are excited to be able to actually see the bacterial count decrease when their home care routine and nutrition improves.” As an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach, nutrition, natural pastes, essential oils, remineralizing, whitening powders, and tonics are the focus of care.

Nicole also offers Interim Stabilization Technique, for simple fillings not requiring anesthetic or drilling. Nicole regularly hits the road taking care of the oral health needs of individuals residing in Long Term Care facilities or who cannot easily leave their home. Donating $8,000 to Gift from the Heart Foundation in free treatments has been an important part of this Practice. Winning Readers’ Choice 2012 and 2017 as Favourite Hygienist has been a humbling experience. If you are looking for such a Dental Hygienist, Nicole would be more than pleased to meet with you.

ife changes. If the Home is too small, would adding an addition be possible? If the home is no longer accessible would adding a stair lift/ramp help? If the Kids moved out? Would creating a rental suite be something you would like to consider? You love your home, and your Neighbours, you have decided to go ahead with a renovation/ Addition. Living with large renovations can be difficult, with excessive dust and managing contractors. But if you are up for it, the rewards of a fresh renovation can be very satisfying. Consider a New Kitchen or Bathroom, or the possibility of moving the Laundry room to the main level for accessibility. How about Opening up a wall to create the open concept you have always wanted. Maybe, adding another bathroom in the basement. Many factors will have to be considered, such as the Financial cost, safety of load bearing walls, possible Municipal regulations etc. No matter what you are going to do, you will need to first know what your home is worth in the Present condition. As an experienced Realtor, Cindy Pollard has always offered the service of a Market Evaluation at absolutely no cost or obligation. She will help you determine if the future value of your home with the renovations makes financial sense. Realtors are your financial advisors regarding your Real Estate Holdings. Clients call Cindy for her experience and advice.

’m very fortunate to have a career that I am passionate about. I’ve photographed some amazing people, been to fabulous locations and have learned so much about the world around us - and all through photography. One aspect that has grown tremendously in the past few years is my Fine Art photography, and specifically local landscapes. Although I have images from exotic locations, it’s the local landscape that receives the most attention. I print mostly on canvas and although many are framed, they may also be displayed without. Canvases range from 20 or 30” all the way up to eight feet in length. We have an image for just about any sized wall you need to beautify.
