beef plant's
business plan
Susan Hundertmark
Beef producers interested in
getting involved in a. processing
plant proposed for Brussels will be
approached sometime in the next
two months, said Mayor Joe Seili at
Huron East council's meeting last
Tuesday.
"I'd pour concrete tomorrow if I
had enough cash. It's looking
favorable - hopefully, in the spring
we build it," he said.
Council was presented with a
business plan and a power point
presentation outlining research
that's been done about the potential
market and the goals of the
organizers of the proposed beef
packing plant to be located behind
the Brussels Stockyard.
Seili spent most of the spring and
summer researching .the concept of
a farmer -owned processing plant in
Brussels.
The business plan, prepared by
Giffels Associates Limited, said the

Susan Hnndertmark
Dr. Jason Datema is
joining the staff at the
Seaforth Medical Centre,
bringing the number of
physicians in town up to five.
Datema, who has been in
residency training in
Grimsby during the past two
years, has begun a part-time
practice in Seaforth with
plans to go full-time in
February.
"I've been looking at small
towns for most of the past
two years and I enjoyed
working here with the staff
and patients - I got a lot of
positive feedback," he says, of
the summer months he spent
on locum filling in for Dr.
Dan Rooyakkers and Dr.
Carolin Shepherd.
Datema, who's worked with
a rural population in
Grimsby and nearby
Smithville, says he's
attracted to the variety of a
small town and rural
practice.
"There's the opportunity to
do a lot of different things m
the hospital, emergency and
clinic and to be a part of the
community," he says.
Ron Lavoie, chair of the
Seaforth Community
Hospital Trust which has
been managing the medical
centre for the past six
months, says he's thrilled the
trust has been able to recruit
two physicians since taking
over management in March.
Dr. Helen Frye began
joined the centre in March
with a full-time practice.
"It's just tremendous.
We've set up a business plan
here where doctors have a
landlord and tenant
relationship and have an
opportunity to be doctors," he
says.
Lavoie says the trust has
been working hard to remove
obstacles for physicians
looking for a place to
practise.
"We're fishing for whales
and it's a tough climate. But,
we're being pr=oactive by
creating the trust and taking
ownership of the facility, as
well as listening to doctors
and understanding what best
fits their requirements," he
says.
Lavoie says the business
plan provides support
services to take care of
paperwork, has kept
overhead costs down with
