THE HURON EXPOSITOR, July 2e, 1999
News
Common interests shared
with Brussels and Grey
From Page 1
has recommended the
original three continue
-preparing their restructuring
plan for the original three.
and then bring the two plans
together. • •
McLachlan said it would
. he a waste to have come this
far and not finished the plan -
since the committee has only
one meeting left before its
own agreement is ready to be
worked out. The -committee
has :alrcady worked Out
restructuring issues such as
how recreation and fire
services would he shared and
how sersices such as
streetl ghting and sidewalks
would he billed • to the.
ratepayers in the ctimhined-
municipalitics.
McLachlan saidit's wiser
for them to have the
restructuring • report•
completed as something, to
go hack tri if an overall plan
'for all .five were to be
rejected before -receiving
provincial approval.
He said it wouldn't take as
long after to combine the two
plans as it did for the
committees to develop them
the first time and he thinks
they can still has.e the.final
plan • approved by the
individual councils by
November or early
December. which -was the
deadline anticipated by the
original three. .
While Brussels and Grey
will be attending the Seaforth
area restructuring committee
meetings, it won't officially
become part. of -the process
until September.'Scott said;
County , council will.
receive a progress report in
September instead of an
official. restructuring plan
like it has requested from all
municipalities. • - •
But Scott said they have
already welcomed comments
and input from•the other two
;municipalities_ • .
"They were included and
'they Were helpful." he said.
adding there_ was some
healthy discussion at the
meeting.
• "i' m very happy and
hopeful• that things will
progress. i know, there •s
work ahead to. merge the two
plans but you've•got people
at the tahle,willing to do it."
he said. •
"Really, it's not a' bad fit
where we're concerned:" said
Brussels Reeve - Ralph
Watson.'
He and Broadfoot point to
common interests' among
Tuckersrtiith. McKillop. and
Grey Township through
agricultural issues and
Watson. • and Scott. find
Seaforth is a community with_
common interest to .Brussels.
For example. the Seaforth
-medical clinic operates a
satellite office in Brussels
and Seaforth Community
Hospital is commonly used
by Brussels residents.
Watson also said the
Brussels PUC will work.with
Seaforth's when there is a
project Brussels does not
have the equipment to handle
obits own. .
However. Morris
Township has also been a
community interest for
Brussels but Watson said the
municipality wasn't.
interested in linking- with
Brussels and Grey. •
He said Morris Township.
is their only connecting link
-to the other northern
Municipalities and without
them. they could not
amalgamate into a larger
municipality, in northern
Huron County.
And Broadfoot said there
is a real strength in having a.
larger municipality.
He said with Brussels and
Grey Township joining them.
the new municipality would
have comparable populations
to other Huron County
restructuring plans and they
would be able to operate
more cost effectively in -a
larger group.
•'I think: it's adsantageous
to. keep our numbers up. I.
think that's a• very crucial
point." he said.
Alcohol policy still in the works
as council gives arena information
Developing an alcohol
policy will involve a lot -of
detail. .
Adminisuratoy Jack
McLachlan has received'a
package of informatioh
through the Huron County
Health Unit'. regarding a
polies
afte4 a request from
Arena Manager. Graham
Ne.hitt. . -
This winter. the arena had
'ought approval for a liquor
licence suggesting the Liquor
Licence. Act would dictate a
clear policy on the sale and.
.control of alcohol at the
facility. After a hearing held
because e of community.
protest. the licence was
dented and Graham has since.
asked council to.consid
dc ' eloping a town -wide
McLachlan told council at
its July I? meeting. he would
forward' the information
package he received to
Nesbitt ince.that is where
the .request tor a polies
originated .and .would
eventually bring the. matter
back to council's attention
tor. - a • possible
`recommendation. • •
*It's . a fairly detailed.
document. McLachlan. said.
"It puts a lot of restrictions
on the rental of your facility.
It's something that has to be
looked at very seriously." -

and the other would be at the"

general public which would

The _generators would

two facilities but would also
be available to. try to protect
municipal property if needed.
The town is also looking•
into advertising for .members.
of the public that would be
willing co donate their
generators if they were
needed in an emergency.
• Meanwhile.- a town •Y_K

on town property and

homes to help prepare for the

One of the only •issues
Broadfoot said Tuckersmtth
Township had with the idea
was the location of the town
hall for the new municipality.
He said they were
concerned there would have
to be a secondaryoffice.
However. he said. Brussel;
and Grey -have already
indicated they are alright
with Seaforth becoming the
Jocauon and could have -the
Brussels library as a location
for paying hills or picking up
notices to eliminate -.concerns
such as seniors not ah.le to

Tell Them About Your Mousetrap
It was Ralph Waldo Emerson
who wrote. ''If a man wnte,a
better book. preach a better
sermon. or make -a better
mousetrap than his neighbor.
tho' he build his house in the-.
woods. the world will beata_
path to his door." Forget it
Waldo' The better book is in
the top-drawer of my desk
and last I checked. (early •
this. morning) there weren't
any footprints on my grass' .
1 would like to offer an alter
natise to Waldo s much quos-
edfline. It v.on t heyuit� as '
poetic but it b a lot more
practical. Here goes. 'If.they .
don't know you are living in
the woods; if they don't
know you .wrote. a better .
book; if they don't know you
can -preach a better sermon; •
ifthey' don't know you built
a better mousetrap; ain't
nobody gonna beat a path to`
your .fir,,,
Now that isn't rocket surgery
but it is reality. [f you are
running a business. any busi-
ness. and you wish to sur-
wive you had better rise to
your feet and blow your own
hom. (If you don't, no one
will do it for you.) Talent
and quality of product.br
service just isn't enough. You
must promote yourself and
your products constantly.
They must know you are
there'or they won't come.
(Yes l know, mother taught
you to be modest. What
mother didn't tell you was
that modesty for business
people a highly overrated
virtue'•
Proritotmg .yourself (and
your people: enhances the
-potential customer view of -
your product. But promoting
yourself Is not easy nor is it
inexpensive' Nor.will it hap-
pen in a day. a week or even
a year. It takes.nme. What`.
you are attempting to do is
implant -an image.and a rep-
utation in the mental tiling
cabinets of a large number of
potential customers. That
iakesWns.ant-spaced repet,-
tion and comntencv.
Once your message is
.implanted- the .hances of
. that potential customer call-
`. ing you when they require
your product or service esca-
lates enormously. It is called
positioning. In fact, that is
what advertising is all about
It. is about telling potential
customers what a great
mousetrap you have and
exactly where you live in the
woods. Without that infer -
illation they won't know you
exist never mind beat a path,.
to your door. Of all the busi-
ness skills you will need to
develop the single most
important one will be your
ability to communicate •
effectively. Tell them about
your mousetrap or die. That
• is what the game is about.
