State Farm Fire and Casualty Company Canadian Head Ofice: Scarborough, Onlay , a ilton s s a .::er a ing ,;ars Business Frank G. Thompson of Corporate Motivation Sys- tems, Hamilton, was the featured speaker at a meeting of the Wingham Business Association held last Wednesday evening at the Wingham Golf and Curling Club. "Success is an inside job" was the title of his talk, which concentrated on the potential of the in- dividual to achieve success by setting goals and sparing no effort to achieve them. Two hurdles face the person who -wants to get ahead in this world, said Mr. Thompson: communications and motivation. "Why do so few people actually achieve success?" he asked. In answer to his own question, he said few are willing to pay the price; most of us are unwilling to put forth the .total effort which is required and dedicate ourselves whole- heartedly to our goals. Much of his address was devoted to the power of positive thinking and thea unbelievable results such as attitude can bring to those who practise consistent optimism. Timidity, he said, is the Grant encourages erosion controls A new program announced by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will pay 80 per cent of farmers' costs for greater use of soil conservation and erosion control devices in municipal dra- s. T Ontario Drainage Works Erosion Control Pro- gram will make $2 million available to municipalities over the next four years to cover the portion of costs assessed against agricultur- al lands for erosion preven- tion devices. ' "We felt we needed to encourage greater erosion control in municipal drains," explained Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell. "The normal grants paid to municipalities for in- stallation costs will also apply to this program." The following devices are eligible under the program: —drop structures for ditch bottoms to slow water and reduce erosion; —drop structures to stabilize ditch bottoms where drains meet at dif- ferent elevations; —tile drains to intercept water seeping below ground surface which could cause slumping of ditch banks; —seed and fertilizer for grass cover on ditch banks and buffer strips; —fencing to prevent live- stock access to drains. To be eligible for the grant the specifications for the device or application for the materials must appear in an engineer's report which is adopted as a bylaw. dresses sse national disease of Canadians, and he suggested we should cease to apologize for ourselves and recognize our capabilities. "Be proud of your town," said Mr. Thompson, and never apologize for where you come from. Forget the draw- backs; think positively. Doug Layton of the business association was master of ceremonies for the meeting; the speaker was introduced by Barry Wenger. The meeting and its speaker were co-sponsored by the business association and The Wingham Advance - Times. In attendance were business owners and managers and members of their staffs. Lee Vance ex- pressed the thanks of the gathering to the guest speaker. A brief business meeting was held following the ad- dres, at which plans for future promotions were discussed. The Wingham Advance -Times, Oct. 23, 1985—Page 5 Ei - w s a in four a It appears likely that municipal elections will be held next month in four area townships: Howick, East Wawanosh, Turnberry and Morris. Only two township council positions have been filled by acclamation. Turnberry Reeve Brian McBurney was uncontested and will return to the position and Clem McLellan, a Morris Town- ship councillor, will become deputy reeve of the township in the position left by retiring Deputy Reeve Tom Miller. Nominations closed at 5 p.m. Monday, but those who filed papers had until 5 p.m. Tuesday to withdraw. Election day is Nov. 12. A real race for the reeve - ship appears to be heating up in Howick Township with three men vying for the position, including in- cumbent Reeve Jack Staf- ford.

John Elliott will be challenged by John Gaunt for the position representing the Townships of East Wawanosh and Morris and the Village of Blyth on the school board. As far as the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate; School Board is concerned, incumbent board member Vince McInnes will be challenged by Adrian Keet.

Bernie Van Osch has been acclaimed as the new separate school board representative for Town- ships of Ashfield, East and West Wawanosh and the Village of Blyth. He replaces the retiring William Kinahan. Board sets new committee (Continued from Page' 1) board, noting there is a lot work involved in getting the program into full operation before the next.accreditation survey.• Asked by Mr. Hayes about the committee structure and the proposal to place a board 'member on it, Mrs. Cum- mings said the consensus at a meeting -she had attended was that thereis no need to have a board member on the committee 'since it is • basically a management committee and would report to the board through the joint conference committee. • This was supported by Dr. Brian Hanlon, hospital chief of staff, who said the board's functit;ftl< is to make policy and ensure it is carried out properly. It should not be interested in the day-to-day management or operation of - the hospital. However several board members disagreed. -Patricia Baitey argued that the more knowledgeable trustees become about the operations of the hospital the better able they will be to carry the message to the public, while Nancy. MacDonald-Exel suggested that a board member could provide valuable input , on quality assurance from an outsider's point of view. I can'tsee it would hurt to - have aboard member on it paperwork. "That which is of not documented its presumed not to be done," "I would be deathly afraid of this until I knew exactly what was to be done," he concluded. Dr.• Hanlon also pointed out that, while it is being demanded by the body responsible for hospital accreditation, quality ap- praisal is not a directive from the Health Ministry and has nothing to do with the Health Act, . which governs hospitals. In an attempt to wrap up the discussion, which by this time had gone on for nearly an •hour, Vice Chairman Mary Lou Thompson asked if there would be any problem having a board member sit in on meetings of the com- mittee during its first year. Mrs. Cummings said she had no objections, but, Dr. Hanlon objected that such a _move would-.set.a--dangerous- - precedent. Having a board member go below the level of the executive director suggests a lack of confidence in the 'director, he said, and Mr. Hayes agreed. "If you want to manage the hospital go ahead and manage it," the executive director declared. "You don't need me." Board member Ross Davies also spoke against at least for the first year," she said, observing it will be "a very expensive com- mittee" with so many department heads on it. "Your point is well taken," Dr. McGregor agreed, suggesting that the time spent on quality appraisal work away: from regular duties would probably have, to be made up by hiring additional staff. "The administrator should have some figures on the cost. I would think thousands," he added. However the board never did hear what the new program is expected to cost. ' In a spirited attack on the proposal, Dr. McGregor said this sort of thing "tends to tie up and hamper the operation of an institution by volumin- ous paperwork." When hospital ac- ereditat on first came i-rrto existence it was probably needed, he said, but now it has become a self-serving entity, "some kind of sacred cow", and it is questionable w�ietwer it actually improves patient care. The same thing is hap- % pening in the medical profession through peer review, he added. It was a wonderful idea at the start but has degenerated into the proposal, saying he saw no need for a board member to be part of a hospital func- tion. "I don't understand why the executive director can't do this (quality appraisal),". Dr. McGregor remarked. "He's the obvious person to report on the functioning of the institution, with the chief of staff." Mr. Hayes responded that there is no way the executive • director can know every- thing which goes on in an institution.. "It's easier to get cooperation from people on the ground level to correct a problem than me sitting in my office and sending down bolts of lightning, on their heads," he added. Following some more discussion about possible alternatives, Dr. Hanlon suggested it was a . forgone conclusion that the quality appraisal --committee would come into being. The board should decide on the structure and then move on to, the next order of business: This led to a motion by Mrs. MacDonald-Exel that the committee be set up as proposed, with the require- ment that it report to the joint conference committee on a regular basis.
