We would be purchasing aservice, to play in to a trustednetwork. This is five million new people seeing materials advertising our community.” McClinchey had also spoken with North Huron’s director of finance treasurer, he said. “She said thiscould potentially be do-able. It’s notoutside the realm. This represents an investment, not just anexpenditure.”Director of recreation/facilities Pat Newson questioned the women on whether or not there had been any consideration to marketing Memorial Hall’s rental poten- tial. Sholdice said that that has been afocus of hers, to see the Hall betterutilized in the Festival’s off season.“I think that by having our name out to a broader area, it has great potential for increasedinterest.” While councillor Murray Nesbitt also expressed enthusiasm, calling it a great idea. he did wonder if it would benefit all of North Huron. Stewart said in marketing, theadvice is to “take a jewel and buildaround it.”Clerk-administrator Kriss Snellsaid he too had had that concern, buthe believes that good marketing will see people coming to Wingham from Blyth. “We have talked about throwing a wider net,” added councillor Archie MacGowan, “and I know we couldn’t do it for $20,000 a year. I think this is an interesting opportunity.” PAGE 6. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2007.

(Bonnie Gropp photo) McClinchey – ‘Festival not looking for gift’ Letter to the editor THE EDITOR, Some 35 years ago I built a sealed manure tank with the intention of producing methane gas for heating the barn. My information on producing methane came from India where farmers built sealed manure pits and used the resulting methane gas for cooking. This was much healthier for the cook and the residue from the process could still be used as fertilizer. Alas, it cost much more than I had anticipated and I had to abandon my efforts. I am therefore pleased that now, according to a recent editorial that methane production has come of age. Adrian Vos.
