While shooting a feature on Sailfest Sarnia at the Sarnia Yacht Club, photojournalist Glenn Ogilvie encountered this unexpected scene on southern Lake Huron, of semi-retired judge Jon Donohue happily playing a tune on his melodeon, a type of accordion. Donohue said he has his boat rigged so he can practise on the new musical instrument while under sail.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
