ote West coast visitor by Don Lawrence Leona Young of Victoria, British Columbia has been experiencing a whole new world here in Midland these past few weeks. Young is a 16-year-old Grade 11 student in Victoria, and she is spending one month at Midland Secondary School as part of an ex- change program. Deane Woods and Allison Moore of MSS are away in schools in British Columbia at this time as members of the exchange program. Young explains that when she decided to enter into the program, she had no idea what she was getting herself into and she wasn't happy in Midland ~ Huronia and she says that she couldn't have asked for a better family to stay with. Not only is Young pleased with her living arrangements, she is also happy with her school placing. "Everyone's so friendly here", says Young but there are drawbacks to everything, ad- ding that the size of the school has given her some problems. "It took me two weeks to find my way around the school", says Young, explaining that "I've gotten lost three times this week. The first time Young stepped off the plane in Toronto, she knew that this was going to be a vacation she would never forget, the main difference being that there was snow on the ground. Winter "I've never really experienced a real winter" explains Young. In fact, the area has taken Young so much that she will state "I wish I went to this school, I don't want to go home now." Young realizes though she will be going home. After all, she misses her friends and her family. Young attended her first hockey game in person Friday night in Penetanguishene Arena when the Kings took on Parry Sound Shamrocks in their final league game of their season. She explains that she hasn't attended any hockey games before this in Victoria because they simply do not have that calibre of play there. If she were to attend a Vancouver Canuck hockey game, it means a six or seven hour really scared until she was on the plane. That was when doubts about what was in store for her began to creep in. Those doubts have been proven totally unfounded though. Young is staying with Janet and Paul Macey of Honey Harbour while here in trip into Vancouver. Young returns to Victoria Feb. 10 but she will likely be back in this area if she can help it. After Young graduates, she intends to travel across Canada on a bicycle and one of her stops will definitely be in Midland. Elmvale couple win A 22-year-old Elmvale woman and her 29-year old boyfriend were Wintario's . latest beneficiaries as the two managed to cash in ticket number 268986 for a prize of $100,000 last Thursday. According to Pat Maloney, she alone was watching the Wintario Show Thursday evening, writing down the numbers as they appeared, when she realized her ticket number matched the one on the screen for the grand prize. Thinking she must have made a mistake, she quickly glanced back to the television to check. but the number had disappeared. She immediately phoned a friend she knew was watching the show and checked the ticket again, only to find the numbers did indeed match perfectly. That night, Ms. Maloney said, she watched the late news to check just one more time and it was then she realized she really had won. The. ticket was a joint venture between Ms. Maloney and _ her boyfriend Wayne Booth but shyness on Booth's part has put Pat in the limelight. The couple have been buying books of tickets for quite some time but this was the first win of anything exceeding a free book either had managed. The couple travelled to Toronto early Friday morning, went through the usual interview and collected their prize. It was then placed for safekeeping in the bank, where it will remain, said Ms. Maloney for a few months. As for future plans, the woman is a part- time casual teller at Elmvale's _Toronto- Dominion Bank and her boyfriend is presently unemployed, so the money will go to good use. A new car is their immediate intention for a portion of it, but trips (especially one _ to Florida to visit her mother) will have to wait awhile. No fire at address Midland firefighters tumbled out of bed Tuesday at 4:19 a.m. to respond to a call to 287 Second St. Turns out there was no fire as such. Con- cerns about a chimney 'fire at that address prompted the call to the fire hall.

Stephan Kramp, a student at Midland Secondary School has been chosen to represent this area as part of a Forum for Young Canadians in June which will take him to Ottawa for a trip right out of his dreams. There are only 100 students chosen each year for this trip. The Grade 12 student has a keen interest in politics and he has been looking forward to a trip of this type for a long time. The trip will take Kramp to Ottawa for the days between June 13-20 and will cost him around $350 but those costs are hoped to be shaved a bit with some help from service clubs in Midland. The trip will provide Kramp the chance to visit the Parliament Buildings, the Supreme Court Canada, the house of Canada's Governor- General and many more places. Also on the trip, Kramp will have the chance to meet such dignitaries as_ the Governor-General of Canada, Ed Schreyer, Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and the leader of the opposition, Joe Clark. Kramp is par- ticularily looking for- ward to meeting Pierre Trudeau claiming, "that's my life am- bition!" Kramp is a Liberal supporter but maintains he has an open mind concerning party policies. various He is quite knowledgeable on the subject of politics, reading the newspaper reports and watching television news in ad- dition to reading the regular parliamentary reports. i Kramp explains that his political interest might stem from the fact his father shares his interest and they often have political MSS student chosen fortrip | discussions. Kramp is looking at a political career in his future but the first step will be to attend a good law school, adding that most politicians are lawvers by trade. Kramp has been in- volved with past political campaigns in this area and will be getting involved in the upcoming __ Provincial elections, probably in the Liberal campaign. Kramp is also very interested in American politics, adding that he doesn't see Ronald Reagan as a war monger at all.
