FIELD Of The Examiner An element of risk is involved in Georgian Colleges plans to increase enrolment by 10 per cent this fall but it is chance the school must take says president Wayne Busch There is no guarantee an an ticipated change in the pro Vinces method of funding coi leges for 1980 will provide an in crease in grants sufficient to cover the increase in costs ex pected this year Busch said guess its gamble but its gamble we should have taken before he told the Examiner Theres need for more post secondary programs in the Georgian Bay region and we want to fill it While the ministry of educa tion is committed to altering the financing mechanism it has yet to determine exactly what league The program ended with an award presentation at the Barrie Armoury Examiner Photo changes will be made said Hoat Noble director of college affairs He said the ministry would almost certainly adopt an activity based financial system The new system would not award colleges funds on per student basis but growing schools would benefit financial iy as result of that growth Howat said for awarding of tender By LORI COHEN Of The Examiner Moreland Lynn is alleged to be involved in conflict of interest after his company was awarded $18000 of the $20000 office fur niture tender for the municipality Mayor Lynns company Huronia Office Supplies was awarded the tender necessitated by the recent town hall fire The mayor earlier provided his council with list of what would be needed in terms of office supplies to keep the town functioning Mayor Lynn maintains he did not particrpate in discussions concerning tenders before the bids went in was extremely careful about that he said was anxious not to be involved in conflict He said Huronia Office Sup plies won the tender because it offered the supplies at price $8000 below its closest com titor Six companies offered ids Following the awarding of the contract former Midland deput reeve Bill Ogilvie pro test with latter to the editor of the Midland Free Press The local newspaper did not print his letter Copies were sent to the leaders of the three provincial poiiticwl parties and Premier William Davis sent his copy to the ministry of intergovern mental affairs That office made report which is on its way to minister Tom Wells Mayor Lynn does not feel he has done anything wrong would ho that all businesses have right to do business with the municipali ty he said To say that the mayors business has not got this right is an infringement of individual rights He said the whole conflict of interest issue was raised by one man who has done everything possible over the past few years individual namely Ogilvie to make life difficult in the municipality Ogilvie says this incident is culmination of various conflicts of interest on the part of Mayor Lynn that have taken place since 1977 and that he or chestrated this deal The mayor has continuously thumbed his nose at the conflict of interest law he said Grant given

February 1980 the post becomes vacant September Ramsay will take leave of absence from September would like to see Lynn resign and the tender quashed He said the tender issue is also matter of equity Because the mayor wrote the specifications for the office equipment he rendered his competitors ineffectual Ogilvie claims Fred Hamelin of the ministry of intergovernmental affairs said any court

They receive fixed grant and each year the gggvince adds an across the rd increase Howat also said the ministry was concerned that any system based on growth rate could allow the larger colleges such as those in Toronto to make money at the expense perhaps of smaller schools like Georgian Midland mayor ttcked He said ceiling on the size of the grant given any one college is being considered If Georgians grant does not increase enough in 1980 to cover 1979s expansion programs will have to be cutback Busch said We are hoping the ministry will respond he said This year the college increas ed enrolment in its post secondary programs by four per cent and without expanding existing programs growth in the upcoming year would have been slight and perhaps non existent Busch said Georgians board of gover nors authorized the use of surplus funds to finance the in crease in enrolment for 1979 The demand for post secondary programs in this region is on the rise and there is need for skilled

sine and can dy apples the and aahs of deli from children and ad ts alike the traditional costumes pizazz and bravado it was all there under the bit top during the fast paced twohour show Now in its third year the Quebec based circus boasts 21 new acts for the 1979 season in cludin 75 performers and 50 amma First into the ring which was caged for this event was Kay Rosaire and her five lions who jumped through hoops of fire and leapt over each others backs under command from their trainers whip Caesar the unrideable mule was next on the bill and proved great favorite as he refused to be mounted by volunteer from the audience actually circus performer who he chased from the ring Circuses alive well thank you The circus as form of entertainment is alive and well says Domineau ringmaster and announcer with the Gatini Circus which opened in Barrie Wednesday There are so many now and they are all different but there is always something special for the children he says Domineau who joined the Gatini Circus from its begin ning in 1977 says he prefers to have the audience under tent rather than in an arena because this way we are working with them magician and hypnotist in his own right the ringmaster spends the winter season performing in nightclubs in Miami Florida Many of the circuss per formers head south during the winter months and in fact although the Gatini Cir cus is Canadian owned with two operations in Quebec and Nova Scotia most of the acts come from the United States says Domineau There are none in Canada and all of our performers come mainly from Texas or Sarasota Florida he says The Gatini Circus will be in Barrie for two more shows on Thursday before moving to Peterborough and will close its season in New Brunswick We were always on the road and change locations every two days the ringrnaster says Womens career Kay Rosaire tames lions for living and at 28 considers herself well into career And it is career which seems quite logical to Miss Rosaire who comes from long line of animal trainers four generations to be exact Ive been in it all my life and my whole family is in it too says Miss Rosaire whose act is first on the bill at the Gatini Circus now in Barrie native of London England she admits there are easier ways to make living than per forming in circus but what makes it so special is that is isa tradition It is this pride of heritage among performers which gives the circus its richness she says Not only is the circus one of the oldest forms of entertain ment with something for everyone but it is also the on ly true drama left among per formers Miss Rosaire savs Eve thing is planned but it is flexib and you dont really know what is going to happen In her act which includes putting her head into lions mouth Miss Rosaire is careful never to lose confidence in front of the animals That is the worst thing that can happen They sense it and if they are goin to make move thats when eyll do it she says You have to go in there and positive about what you are doing Her lions however not only respect her but like her says Miss Rosaire But have to be careful not to push them to far she adds Has she ever thought of doing something else for living Once she says when she was teenager and had snob bish attitude about the circus and left to do other things But came right back to it and Ill be in it all my life she says The old sayingabout sawdust in the veins is ab soluter true Miss Wanda the ieadin lad gymnast the augienci from on high on the trapeze and was followed by Ernas chimpanzees who roller
