ot Iiiiitoha came east to work with the North York school board in ISNH 42 yearsold iiiariied with two children gentlemen giv oii Way He liiisch He stands prepares to speak issues to hell with the prepared speech look assumes an atease pose then delivers the same message he has offered dozen other groups He tells them Canada must train its people if it expects to compete with other nations young people are leaving the region and taking the future with them Georgian College is going to grow and serve the community better than it has in the past APPOINTED IN OCTOBER Busch was appointed president in October and if the reactions of the members of the various clubs he has addressed can be used as an indicator Georgians board of governors has made popular choice Blending enthusiasm with sincerity he ap plies himself eagerly to the chore of raising the colleges profile and praising the Georgian Bay region For 30 minutes he smiles grimaces cajoles and consoles anti in doing so shows them Georgians new look the look of someone on the move The school can grow the region can prosper he says and illustrates his point using ques tions he poses and answers he supplies Its important that the Georgian Bay region keeps its young people here he tells them You might say Wayne Why is that impor tant It is important because thevre tomorrow If he was sitting in his office he would tell you thats no bullshit The language changes in public but the directness remains RLEATES REEDO During his talk he relates his creedo one that impresses everyone in the room and unintentionally establishes the ground rules at Georgian college in transition dont like laziness dont like in competence dont like liars insist on loyal ty and integrity The death last summer of Georgians foun ding president Bob Crawford came sometime after the colleges governors decided changes were necessary but before all were initiated While the school was growing slightly each year it appeared to be standing still Insiders use words like lethargic static or stagnant to describe the prevailing atmosphere of the past few years Today they say Georgian is moving and Busch has acted as catalyst The action of the board of governors in hir ing Wayne Busch wasnt based on sudden enlightenment says Bill Caldwell board member and until January its chairman Whispered messages of discontent had reach background Busch Captain running taut ship ed the board and the governors had decided more could be done to develop skilled workers for industry Caldwell says Crawford agreed with the boards view and was prepared to work with it to solve the schools problems The board had to be ofa like mind over the affairs of the college in selecting someone like Wayne Busch and it had to have good knowledge of what was required WANTED GROWTH Georgians governors wanted the school to grow substantially and help meet perceived need for more people with hands on training In choosing new president it wanted someone who was tough practical and dynamic enough to sell the school to the community it serves Busch is do it now man and it was ap parent he had the mental and physical stamina to withstand the pressures Caldwell says Pressures the board knew would result from the changes it planned dozen people who held key posts under Crawford have either retired resigned or been fired Two levels of administration deans and vicepresidents have been eliminated leaving streamlined management committee to operate the school changes in Georgians policy on hiring administrators put an end to the buddysystem All this and more was done quickly inside few weeks Perhaps the most profound change was in the style of leadership employed by the new presi dent sense of being one part of well functioning whole was being restored and the pronoun we began supplanting US and them in oncampus conversations Hes team man and hes trying to build team with team spirit Caldwell says of Busch CONCERNED SOME While some faculty members are concerned that Buschs background is rooted in the ledger rather than academe most seem prepared to give the new president shot at it and work with him Morale had been slipping steadily at all levels but today renewed optimism is buoying itup People associated with the college are reluc tant to speak badly of the past Crawford was gentleman they say who built Georgian Collt lege literally from the ground up in 10 years But he could not delegate responsibility and carried all the schools problems piled one on top of another on his shoulders During the past few years he was persuaded to divide the workload among other ad ministrators and in doing so brought reclusive feel to the presidency Some people believe Crawford chose to shut himself off others say his subordinates acted as screen Without his knowledge Regardless of the cir cumstances the result was obvious dont believe Bob Crawford inspired con fidence any longer and the college seemed to the standing still says Doug Gaukroger president of the faculty union Georgian was becoming showcase not school says David Scott who until this spr ing was union president for support personnel Education was being pushed aside by the sheer magnitude of buildings tho oxamlnor ThundyJuno 1079 Georgian became lazy and the people who ran the school seemed to be preoccupied with pi eserving what they had Accordingly ideas originating at the bottom end of the pecking order often got lost during the process of being circulated upwards SITTING COMFORTABLY You had everyone sitting comfortably in their offices and there was no need for change says Bob Reid president of the Students Administrative Council Frustration became mme pronounced as desire ebbed and morale plummeted Ive tried almost successfully to erase that period from my mind It was such contrast to now says journalism instructor Harvey Johnstone His statement is echoed in dozen inter views Morale is up again and the place appears to have direction Theres lot more openess Gaukroger says The door the the third floor presidents office is being left open these days As he ends his talk Busch raises his fist and his eyebrows as if to say why not If someone can tell me why we cant have the best college anywhere wish they would because think we can he tells the club members before thanking them for the op portunity to speak Later he wades through those who have stayed to ask question or debate point and greets each of them with enthusiasm and firm handshake Before leaving he issues more than dozen invitations to drop by the college Tell them sent you Wayne Busch Georgian President Bustruck accident inquest scheduled to establish facts Ry SIICIIIIC IIIS Of The Examiner An inquest into the deaths of four loroiito youths killed in the Jan 33 bus truck accident on Highway 400 will proliably not be held until September an Ontario thief Coroners office ltpokesiiian said Wednesday lohii Ehhs executive assis tant said Chief Coroner otnam officially issued per mission Wednesday for Barrie corner Dr William Farrington to conduct an inquest into the four deaths at one hearing The chief

the need for expanded service for oikers in the area The scruce to run in the liavyiew Drive and Wclham lark industrial sector of town will run from Ttfi to 015 in the morning and 313 and 545 in the afternoon Just one bus will be used when the service begins Ald Alex Arthur chairman of the committee said Council will have to be prepared to add another bus on to the route if the demand is there said the Barrie alder man The service will be run on trial one month basis and will be revieed following that time Ald Arthur said Its impossible to know right now if the system will work out Ald Arthur said TIMING OFF It appears the timing of the bus service may not suit the new HayesDana plant opening which is at 030 am said Alu Arthur But regular bus service in the city does not start until 045 and bus riders would have no way of getting to the ter minal to pick up the industrial bus Ald Arthur said IIlsewhere the Association for Physically Disabled will be drawing in recommendations for city council with regard to installation of special bus ser vice The recommendations should get to council by early fall Ald Arthur said The study will deal with the kind of bus system the physical ly disabled want and detailed costs he said new bus is expected to cost between 317000 and 322000 for the physically disabled he said The province would subsidize the costs of new bus by 50 per cent and also the maintenance he said Ald Arthur said earlier bus service for the physically disabled would be feasible The committee met Tuesday with Bob Kerr local associa tion president We have always acted

the vehicles road design available local emergency services and aspects of organization of this kind of excursion The four students were among several busloads of Weston Collegiate students on ski trip to Mount St Louis Ski Resort Summer vacations interfere with the availability of officials and witnesses and therefore the inquest will probably be held in September said Ebbs Separate board in same building but differs profoundly from public Two school boards work out of the Education Centre on Ferris Lane Barrie One has budget of $80 million and the other budget of 10 but there is more profound difference between the two The Simcoe County Roman Catholic Separate School Board provides its 6000 students with an education firmly rooted in the teachings of Catholicism Established in 1969 the year Ontarios ministry of educa tion initiated county school board system Simcoes separate board has 26 schools and covers Kindergarten through Grade The board also operate senior schools in Midland and Bar rie that have students in Grades and 10 but for the most part graduates of the separate system move into public secondary schools Simcoes separate board has some 400 permanent staff in cluding 13 man administration and 83 supply teachers The administrative staff is headed by education director Bill Bolger Directly under him is the boards superinten dent of business Barney Corbiere and its superintendent of schools Des Carroll CHARGED WITH OPERATION They are charged with the daytoday operation of the board and its buildings according to policies established by the elected trustees It is the trustees who make the decisions says Bolger We implement them As director Bolger says have my finger in lot of pics The ultimate resvonsibility for ensuring the board is operating smoothly falls to the director He coordinates the efforts of administrative pesonncl on both the business side of the daily operation and in the countys classrooms Under provincial law the boards director is also its secretary Bolger lists staffing as one of the items that takes much ofhis time It is big chore and an ongoing chore We do something about staffing nearly everyday of the year TIIINGS HECTIC Things are particularl hectic at this time of year he says because the boar is occupied with filling all its teaching posts That involves some shuffling in instances where enrolment is dropping in some areas of the county but expanding in another Bolger is also the boards chief spokesman and public relations man He handles phone calls letters requests from many people and agencies and the press Essentially he says the board has one major responsibili ty It must provide the best possible education for the dollars it has available But its becoming increasingly dif ficult on the dollar side of things MINDING MINT Barney Corbiere has been minding the boards mint since it was initiated in 1969 He worked with the Barrie separate school board prior to that yeac and spent 27 years in the armed forces including stint at Canadian Forces Base Borden Im basically responsible for all the noninstructional af fairs of the board Corbiere says Included in his portfolio is the operation of the boards ac counting office overseeing the transportation of students ensuring board property is maintained and dealings with custodial staff Corbiere also serves as the boards liason with the 36 Barney Corbiere Superintendent Des Carroll Superintendent munici a1 governments that collect its share of the property tax dol ar His major responsibility is the preparation of the boards annual budget and then ensuring it is adhered to This year the board will spend some $10 million to imple ment its program The figure is four times that of the budget in the boards first year Corbiere says Separate boards receive operating grants from the pro vince in the same manner as public boards Funds are alloted according to an individual boards tax base Corbiere says the Simcoe separate boards tax base is not very broad 70 PER CENT GOES TO WAGES Some 70 per cent of the boards budget goes to pay the wages and salaries of its employees The majority of the employees are teachers who have the responsibility of help ing the children get an education Des Carroll is the man charged with developing super vising evaluating and implementing programs used by the Bill Bolger Education Director teachers The separate board says Carroll like the public school board is busy these days developing its own programs in specific subjects They are rewriting their own course guidelines along with other boards in the province at the in sistence of the ministry Its an extremely involved process Carroll says He works with the boards curriculum advisory committee and coordinates the efforts of teachers working to establish new programs Carroll is also involved in personnel matters that pertain to the systems 250 fulltime teachers The success of any program depends on the personnel he says Carroll says the school should attempt to instill love of learning in the child Long after the content is forgotten the attitudes prevail youth and jobs Jobs harder to get now hard work called for In

believe good summer job is only one that pays high wages en courage you to reevaluate what you wish to get out of your summer job For the most part high school students will be employed for about two and one half months Why not spend this precious time working at something you enjoy or perhaps something that will give you an invalueable learning ex perience Im many cases these types of jobs do not pay extremely well often minimum wage But it is the frequent job ex periences that look so impressive when compiling resume for future summers Some employers will be most impressed by students who
