Never won Mr. and Mrs. Jelte Bakker of Coldwater are $10,000 richer after last Thursday's Wintario draw. The Bakkers, who say they have never purchased. Wintario win won money in a lottery before, are using their winnings to build up a business they recently able to organize your The Harrison Metal Works building on Vindin Street may get a facelift and be turned into an industrial mall housing three different industries. At a meeting of Midland's' Planning Board, held Tuesday night, three prospective purchasers of the Harrison Metal Works building asked the board for their permission to turn the building into an Goal to "My basic goal is to place as many students in summer jobs," said Ruth Lamoureux. Mrs. Lamoureux, who is originally from Toronto, was a Public Health Nurse before she became interested in filling the position of being a Student Man- power _ director in Midland. "The requirements for the job were that you had to be a_ postsecondary graduate, be able to work with the public, and be Staff photo time," she said. Mrs. Lamoureux finds that her job is very in- tersting. "IT had a month of orientation time when I first came here a month ago. I went to different places of employment to get to know people. In a way, I was getting the feel $10,000 windfall boosts | is!" available, plus get to know the area,"' she said. So far, Mrs. Lamoureux there are Bakker's business ae Jelte Bakker's business got an unanticipated boost recently. Six weeks ago, Mr. Bakker and his w nelia purchased Al's Country Restaurant and Delicatessen in Coldwater Last Thursday, while watching the Wintario program on television, they realized they had a ticket worth $10,000 "We didn't believe it at first," explains Mrs Bakker. "We watched the 11 o'clock news to check, and sure enough, we'd won $10,000."' After checking the numbers in a newspaper the following morning to confirm their good fortune, Mr. Bakker drove to Toronto to the prize "Tt was quite simple,"' he explains. "All you do is walk into an office, show them your ticket, and ife Cor- pick up pick up the cheque. Then they take your picture, and you walk out with $10,000." The prize money was a windfall to their new Mr. Bakker business, the Bakkers explain. "The nioney's already gone. With all the ex- penses in the business, it was really welcome,"' comments Mr. Bakker The Bakkers, who came to Canada three years ago, say they buy lottery tickets on a regular basis, but Thursday's draw was the first they'd ever won anything in. They go on to explain that while still living in their native Holland, they were once one digit short of winning 100,000 guilders (about $50,000) but the Wintario wind- fall represents the only time they have had any success in a lottery The Bakkers weren't the only Coldwater residents to profit from last Thursday's draw. They say that a neighbour found himself to possess a ticket worth $100. "Everybody's buying tickets now," remarks the students, but it is a matter of time before all the employers place their orders for students at the Student Manpower office. Mrs. Lamoureux begins her day by visiting businesses, and retires to her office in the afternoon to fill out registration and application forms for students who want jobs. "The best time for a student to come to the office is between three and five in the afternoon, because I will be here. In the morning I am _ not always here." What the students must do when they are. ap- plying for a job, is fill ont an application form, stating what jobs they OLYMPIA SPORTS. 526-6003 559 Bay St., Midland When you're looking for speed, climb into flying machines by Bauer.

Doug Peutz, who did most of the talking for the three, wants to move The Woodsmen, a_ wood- working business, from its present location in the industrial mall on William Street to the Harrison Metal Works where there is more room. Ivan Charlebois, owner of an autobody repair shop wants to move his business from the in- dustrial mall to the Harrison building and Lloyd Weaver, who presently does sheet metal fabrication in the Harrison building, wants to become a part owner and carry on his business there. According to Planning Administrator Doug Clute, the building has been used for industrial purposes for-a long time. place students prefer, when they want to work, and most im- portant, they must fill in their social insurance number. "Tt is very important to have their social in- surance number."' she said. The Student Manpower does not have a Set age group for people looking for jobs. However, they must be _ presently enrolled in school, whether university, high school, or public school. "We do not do the ac- tual hiring, but we leave it to the employer who wants students.. What he is to do then, is to in- terview each student which we refer to him," said Mrs. Lamoureux. The Student Manpower office is closely connected with the Manpower office on Dominion Street. We are just a branch of the office on Dominion Street, said Mrs. Lamoureux. Right now there is a carpet warehouse in it and the sheet metal fabricating business. It is owned by William Harrison. Mr. Clute explained that the land is zoned residential and _ the present use is a legal non- conforming use since the land was being used as industrial land when it was zoned residential. There was some con- fusion at the meeting over the steps necessary to turn the building into an industrial mall. Mayor Moreland Lynn explained to the three prospective purchasers that if they didn't want to make any renovations to the building by adding on to it, they could buy it and make an industrial mall there, carrying on the legal non-conforming use. He added, however, that if they ever wanted to add to the building it would require a zoning OUR AREA STUDENTS ARE COUNTING ON YOU!

He said the whole process could take up to a year. Mr. Peutz explained that they didn't want to put any additions on the building. He said there was almost too much space to fill now. Their only plans are to make the front of the building look a little better and and close in one end of a large Harrison Metal Works possible industrial mall carport for loading trucks. Mr. Peutz said they had already had the fire department and building inspector come to the building to see what in- side work would have to be done to make it meet town requirements. The planning board agreed that these were the right steps to follow. Once all the go-aheads have been received Peutz, Weaver a Charlebois will put their offer to purchase.
