They are looking forward to retiring to their new home in Benmiller. ( David Emslie photo) Couple looking forward to their retirement By David Emslie BLYTH - After 23 years of owning and running Wallace Turkey Products, Piet and Ann 'Reinsma are looking forward to their retirement. The frozen food portion of their business has already been sold, but the Holiday juice franchise they hold will continue to operate until a buyer is found. Mrs. Reinsma explained the business had to be split into separate parts because it was too small for a big company to buy and too large for a small company to purchase. "It's hanging in the middle," she said. Mr. Reinsma added they had two options, one to expand and build a larger chill room for the juices or make the frozen food freezer into a chill room. Prior to moving to Canada in 1953, Mr. Reinsma had training in the food industry as he was brought up in the grocery business in Holland, and later moved to the fruit and vegetable business. After moving to Canada in 1953 he worked with General Coach in Hensall, before being hired as a salesman by Wallace founder Robert Wallace in 1960. By 1964 Mr. Wallace was ready for semi- retirement and the Reinsmas took over the business. For the next 10 years the employee -employer roles were reversed as Mr. Wallace stayed with the company and worked for the Reinsmas. When they took over the business in 1964 a few large changes were made. They decided to stop the killing operations that were tak- ing place at the establishment. "There was no money in killing," Mr. Reinsma explain- ed, therefore the extra space was put to freezer and chiller use. The other change that occurred in 1964 was that the company became a distributor of frozen foods. While they began to deal with some big name frozen food companies at this time, Mrs. Reinsma pointed out they were still making their own famous chicken. turkey and beef pies. "We added the juice line and kept on expanding. The juice business got pretty big," she said. Another end of the business theyhave recently given up is a poultry farm they owned. Their son took over the farm in April of 1986. Although the staff will be running the juice business in the Reinsmas' absence, Mr. Reinsma will still be at the work place a few times a week, Mrs. Reinsma said. "We're looking forward to retirement; we've purchased a home in Benmiller. My husband is a great outdoors person," she stated. While they are getting out of the business world, Mrs. Reinma said this doesn't meals they will be inactive in their retirement. "We're not ready to sit down and have a cup of tea. We don't look at it as retirement; we'll keep on doing things, we just don't have to go to work." The Reinsmas were very thankful for the excellent help they have had in their business over the years, mentioning specifically a 12 year employee, Linda Hak - kers, and a 10 year employee, Hilly Blok. "Those two girls have been great. We couldn't wish for better people. We never had one argument between employer aid employee," Mr. Reinsma said. Mrs. Reinsma pointed out that one part of the business she thoroughly enjoyed was running the coffee shop for a number of years. "1 loved meeting people and talking and I really enjoyed the cooking." No definite plans have been made by the couple for the time they will now have on their hands. Mrs. Reinsma noted, "We'll just relax, and from there we'll play it by ear. We'll be happy to be home, travel and do things we like." She wasn't sure whether or not she will miss working. "I don't know yet, I'll tell you in another half year how I feel. I enjoy life anyways," she concluded. Blyth euchre results BLYTH - The special winner at the euchre games here last week was Marie Button.

Piet and Ann Reinsma wish to announce that Flanagan Sales and Dist- ribution Ltd. of Kitchener is taking over their frozen food business effective April 1, 1987. For the present time the Holiday Juice whole- sale,franchise "Ever - Fresh"' will continueto be operated by the staff at the same location. The snack bar will be closed as of April arid.
