Robert L Ray*oat Nara Streot WOW Chord What does., it take to get an 'idea actualized? How do we move' froiin' the drawing board to • enactment? This is a critical question . in the life of a eorrlrnunity., There are many • worthy projects that never get past the idea stage in Goderich. Why?, , We have the necessary personnel, in this cornrnunity to do -almost anything. This town has . more creative people than Whatever area you wish to consider, the. arts, managerial, labour, there is, talent to burn. We have the necessary finances•inxhis•.cornrnunit.ta da 41Mo:t anything. -We 'May' ncit be rolling in green backs but few of us are suffering. We' live in a country where federal and provincial grants abound for those , who want to promote cornrnunity projects. - Where is the bottleneck? Why do so many valid projects. die on the drawing board? The answer can be ,found, in our lack of cornrnunity involvement. Someone gets an idea. He or she .is willing .to spend endless hours of work moving' that idea towards enactment. There is one essential missing, Sharing the idea and the ',work . with a significant nurnber of people. Getting the idea accepted by the ~the at large. The essential stage of cornrnunity support for any project is very threatening. It is at this precise stage that we have to share. It is at this step in the mechanics of getting things done that our ideas cease to a private property and given over to the cornrnunity at large my idea becornea public property.. It can be adapted, changed; or even rejected: • This is -our =bottleneck.-=-Mere+=is- :the- grave of Many a great idea. It must be done my way. • Read :the.past years' issues of the Signal -Star and see for yourself how right or wrong this analysis. .is. See how many projects remain ;the. private property of the few. You want an idea to _become a reality? Then accept one of the major steps., in that process: the eliciting of community support and involvement. • If a thing is worth' doing, it is worth doing well' - Isn't it?
