Robinet photo. expands Southwester) Ontario peak ming program More help is now available for businesses in southwestern Ontario that want to do some long-term decision mak- ing for their future. The Federal Business Development Bank (FBDB) has recently added three new strategic planners to its roster. The additions are in response to an in- crease in clients wishing to develop strategic plans for their businesses. These strategic plans outline the companies' key goals and objectives, the strategies and tactics required to implement those deci- sions and monitor their success. However, many businesses lack the plan- ning process, tools and techniques required. "Proper planning and execution are the key to business success," says John Parnell, FBDB's Strategic Planning Manager. The three new planners, who have com- bined management experience of 80 years, are Yon Shimizu of Wallaceburg, formerly VP and General Manager of Waltech Industries, a division of Waltech Corp.: Bill Blowes of Kitchener, formerly Director of Market Research and Plann- ing for Uniroyal and Bill Cockshutt of London, formerly General Manager of Allied Farm Equipment. "Our program is aimed at helping businesses develop and use planning skills so that they can determine their own future. We are part of a team of 15 planners across Canada that specialize in working with medium-sized businesses to assess their curr -rt business operations and evaluate their opportunities, barriers, strengths and weaknesses, and adopt, the most appropriate strategies and tactics." The Bank's planners work in coopera- tion with the client's management team to assist them in making the key deci- sions that will govern the future of the business. "The experience, planning and com- munication skills of our planners are the key to the program's success," says Mr. Parnell. "Our clients are usually very impress- ed with the knowledge and expertise of our planners." This program takes the planning pro- cesses and techniques used by major firms and makes them available and ap- plicable to the needs of small and medium-sized firms in southwestern Ontario. Worker's co • ensation seeks sites for clinics Local community clinics will soon pro- vide workers with faster, more conve- nient access to early, intensive treatment for soft tissue injuries, including muscle strains, sprains and back injuries. As part of its new medical rehabilita- tion strategy, Ontario's Workers' Compen- sation Board (WCB) has issued a request for proposals from private and public organizations, including hospitals and freestanding physiotherapy clinics, to establish community clinics for injured workers in the area serviced by the Board's London Regional Office. These clinics will operate independently of the Board on a fee-for-service basis. Community clinics are the first level in a three -tiered medical rehabilitation strategy introduced last September. This strategy will provide a uniform system of high quality care close to injured workers' homes. The other two levels in- clude regional evaluation centres and a provincial medical rehabilitation institute. Under the new strategy, workers will be referred to community clinics by their own family practitioner as soon as possi- ble after the accident - no later than 10 weeks. Says Dr. Elizabeth Kaegi, the WCB's Vice -President of Policy and Specialized Services, "We want community clinics to offer the most up-to-date treatment in medical rehabilitation as close as possible to the homes of injured workers. Coping with an injury is difficult enough without the added inconvenience of travelling for treatment far from home." The clinics will offer a variety of treat- ment programs, all emphasizing the ac- tive participation of the patient. Treat- ment will be five days per week and will McKillop council • from page 1 USE GARAGE It also consented to the use of the garage by the Huron County Road Superintendents' Association and Champion Road Machinery, for a grader maintenance seminar on September 6. McKillop Council accepted a request from the owner of Lot 12, Concession 1, for repairs to the Kennedy Municipal Drain: The Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority must be notified within 30 days, and an engineer appointed to bring in a report. BYLAWS PASSED include individual and group physiotherapy sessions, education, and active exercise and fitness components. The Workers' Compensation Board developed the model for treatment at these clinics based on a review of the medical literature and the experience gained through a series of 12 pilot pro- jects set up in various centres across On- tario between May 1987 and March 1988. The WCB expects to select sites for the community clinics during the fall of 1989. •Do you have papers, orders, documents, that have to be in Toronto, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, or Listowel today?

Riddell • from page 1 there are more environmentalists and animal rights groups, "They're°becoming. well almost, a third partner in the farming businesses, and they're people you can't ignore." The cabinet shuffle shows the premier has strength and leadership, according to Mr. Riddell. He added that Mr. Peterson took a bold move. I guess the unfortunate thing is, and I hope people don't have the perception that the so called, old guard, such as Vince Ker- rio and John Eakins and myself — I hope the perception is that we're not lumped with others that were tainted by the Patti Starr affair. "I know that people back home know I was in no way connected with Patti Starr and that's not the reason I was let go." Mr. Riddell added he has not decided as to whether or not this will be his last term in office. He said he will leave his options open and make the decision when the time comes. "Pm going to carry on and do what has to be done...There's always good in whatever Happens I think," he said referr- ing to the time he will now be able to spend with his family. "I'm proud of our record. I have no regrets," maintained Mr. Riddell. "It's time to step aside and let some new ideas come in. "I hope (Mr. Ramsay) continues to give the ministry the profile I think it deserves." Mr. Ramsay was first elected to office in 19135 and he is the former Minister of Cor- rectional Services. He operated a farm outside of New Liskeard for 12 ,Years, he served as president of the Titniskakming Federation of Agriculture and he has been involved with the Vi[Idskaming Grain Growers' Association. r
