Oke Development Inc., received whole- hearted approval from members of Hensall council when he submitted for their perusal his plans to convert the former hardware store on King St. in- to retail and/or office, space at street level, and six two-bedroom apart- ments upstairs. Oke has already put on a new roof, and covered half of the facade with yellow brick on the first storey and aluminum siding above. A walk-through, which he has dubb- ed "The Village Walk", goes through the centre of the building at street level, dividing the five similar units on the east side from the larger ones on the west. Robert Westlake has already signed on as a tenant, and Oke is actively soliciting other businesses, hoping to attract profes- sionals, such as an accountant or dentist. The far west 'side will be used for warehousing, or could be adapted to a tenant's wishes. The upstairs apartments will con- tain from 600 to 800 square feet each. The two in the centre will be equipped with skylights, and more windows are Velma Robinson Phone 262-3205 Ladies' church groups plan future events Unit 3 of Hensall United Church held their meeting Tuesday.

Oke said he has already been approached by prospective tenants. Oke asked council for agreement in principle, as well as documentation of the existing rental situation, to ac- company his application for financial assistance available under a govern- mental convert -to -rent program per- taining to industrial and commercial properties. Under this program, building code regulations have been relaxed to make conversion of ex- isting buildings economically feasible. Four parking spaces are available at the rear, and the owner of the Hen- sall Hotel has promised to sign an agreement allowing for eight more on lot 3. A ramp will give access to wheelchairs. Oke believes his plan meets all eligibility criteria. If government ap- proval and assistance is obtained, the building could be ready for occupan- cy upstairs and down in three or four months. Oke said he chose a facade design which would "give an image back to the town, and fit in with existing buildings". Reeve Jim Johnston said the pro- ject was "terrific, and a great asset to Hensall". Speaking as a member of the Hen- sall Fair Board, John Baker asked Tor a one-time grant of $500 to pay for the rental of the park facilities for the two days planned for this year's fair. He said the fair board has never needed money more desperately, and without help from the village, there might be no more fairs. Baker said the fair hopes to make a profit with the change to a weekend, but can't see it continuing if it can't support itself. Councillors agreed the fair is an asset to Hensall, and passed a motion granting the board's request. Gary and Bonnie Lawrence attend- ed the session to report that paving of the Community Centre parking lot had reduced harassment of neighbouring properties by 90 per- cent. Lawrence asked council to take over the job of designing and order- ing a plaque with the names of all who contributed to the paving fund. Lawrence and his committee were commended by Robinson for doing a needed job themselves rather than "letting government do it". A ticket purchased in the name of 1#ensall Co-op was drawn as winner of the paving committee draw for din- ner at Robindale's. Building inspector Herman Van- Wieren asked for and received a seven percent pay increase, bringing his monthly remuneration to $174.15. A bylaw governing the licensing and operation of taxis in the village was given third reading. Queensway news Valentines Day is not too far away!
