The original Benmiller General Store was built at least 100 years ago. It burned down in 1938 and was rebuilt in 1940. Woodcock, from Sarnia, who has lived in this area for the past two years, purchased the building along with local resident Wyss last October and immediately began an ex- tensive renovation program. "I had been driving by this place for a year and saw that it was closed. I said to myself "That's a shame. Something should be done with it," said Woodcock. Renovaton work was carried out with careful attention to the history of the building, Woodcock said. "I wanted to make it look old, to retain the flavor of an old time general store." Toward this end, the owners added such touches as beam work done by Dungannon area Mennonites, personalized wrought iron chairs for the coffee shop made at Sharp Creek Forge, and a 14 -foot high porch over the front entrance. Many local businesses were involved in the renovations and some local citizens even volunteered items, such as an antique sleigh, to give the store a unique atmosphere. "The locals like the idea of having a store here again," said Woodcock. An open house, featuring free coffee and cold beverages, was held Friday, April 24 at the store. Government intends to ban smoking in public workplaces Treasury Board President Robert de Cotret recently announced the govern- ment's intention to ban the smoking of tobacco products in all Public Service workplaces by January 1, 1989. A ban restricting smoking throughout the Public Service to specially designated areas could be in place as early as October 1, 1987. Public Service employees working in mixed -occupancy buildings where accom- modation is shared with other employers would also be prohibited from smoking at work. At a news conference in Ottawa, April 22, at which other federal initiatives related to tobacco policy were also announced, de Cotret said: "The government has been con- sulting with its employee representatives to reach agreement on an acceptable standard by 1988 to govern this matter. I anticipate our unions will be most, receptive to my an- nouncement today. The government will, of course, continue its consultations with the unions through the National Joint Council on the implementation of these measures." de Cotret added: "My officials will be prepared to discuss with the unions phase- out measures which would be designed to take into account the needs of those who cur- rently smoke. Departments will be permit- ted to designate temporary special areas for smoking." Referring to an announcement by Labour Minister Pierre Cadieux, Mr. de Cotret stated: "As a federally regulated employer covered by Part IV of the Canada Labour Code, the Public Service will comply fully with the new tobacco policy measures. "Today's announcements by Ministers Epp, Cadieux and myself demonstrate a comprehensive commitment by this govern- ment to respond to rapidly changing public and employee attitudes of the government's intention to ban smoking in the Public Ser- vice workplace in an important and pro- gressive step by Canada's largest employer. I hope it may serve as a catalyst for other employers." DENTURE THERAPY CLINIC Monday - Friday 8 am - 5 pm Open Weekends by Appointment HORST F�iget D.
