A changing of the guard has taken place in Le Village. Pat Blanchette, a barber at 132 McConnell Ave. has called it a career and is turning over ownership of his property to John Karitsiotis, pictured above, his neighbour and owner of the King George Restaurant. The plan is to demolish Blanchette’s building and turn the property into some much- needed parking space for the busy restaurant. Blanchette, who first began to cut hair in Cornwall when haircuts were 60 cents and the prime minister was John Diefenbaker, has no regrets. At 90 years of age he’s earned a well-deserved retirement. “Somebody happened to get the idea that I might sell, but the only person who was going to get that property was John. He deserves it,” said Blanchette, a veteran of both the Second World War and Korean War as a member of the Canadian army, who after life in the service found himself looking for another adventure. Little did he know it would last more than 50 years. “The story behind that is it was a tossup whether I bought myself a Studebaker or the property where the barber shop is now,” said Blanchette of the nearby car dealership that was in Le Village at the time. “They were both about the same price, but there was no barber shop there.” Karitsiotis and his family are thrilled with the chance to expand their business. “I had been trying to get it since I opened here,” said Karitsiotis, whose restaurant has been in operation at the corner of Montreal Road and McConnell Avenue since 1999. — supplied photo
