Two staff members
added for summer months
CLINTON - The Clinton Ontario Ministry
of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) office has
added two more staff members for the sum-
mer of 1985. The staffers will be responsible
for the Agricrew and Junior Agriculturalist
programs which have undergone organiza-
tional changes.
Lynn Dodds is from a mixed farm opera-
tion five miles north of Seaforth in McKillop
Township. Her responsibilities will centre
on South Huron, using Highway 8 as the
dividing line.
The Ontario Queen of the Furrow has
completed two years of a Bachelor of Ap-
plied Science with a major in Family
Studies at the University of Guelph.
Paul Nichol +he nthsr new member anal
he is looking after the north half of the coun-
ty for the same two programs.
The 22 -year-old was raised on a farm near
Brussels and is also a student at the Univer-
sity of Guelph concentrating on Rural
Development.
The Agricrew and Junior Agriculturalist
programs have been combined in a recent
organizational shake up and one co-
ordinator now handles duties for both. The
regions have been made smaller to more
evenly distribute the workload.
• Both summer student workers are more
than happy to field calls on either of the pro-
grams. They can be contacted at the Clinton
OMAF office at 482-3428 or 1-800-265-5170.

Conservation education offered
The Camp Sylvan Conservation Program,
sponsored by the Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority, is in full swing. Attrac-
ting schools from Huron, Middlesex, Lon,1on
and Oxford Counties, the Conservation Pro-
gram is booked for the May/June Spring
Session.
Schools from within the Conservation
Authority's area of jurisdiction scheduled to
attend the Program include St. Boniface
School, Bosanquet Central School, Our Lady
of Mt. Carmel School, and Oxbow Public
School. These schools make the Con-
servation Program a regular part of their
spring studies. The teachers and principals
who bring their classes to learn about con-
servation and the importance of
understanding the balances of the natural
- world, feel that this learning is best achiev-
ed in an outdoor setting. Classes of Grades 6,
7 and 8 spend their two -and -a -half days on
the Boy Scout -owned property knee-deep in
stream and pond investigations, studying
the various roles that wildlife play in the
natural environment and enjoying the out-
doors through orienteering and hiking ac-
tivities.
Two high schools are also involved in the
Program. The South Huron District High
School, Exeter, and North Middlesex
District High School, Parkhill, provide
Junior Leaders for the attending classes.
These Grade 11, 12 and 13 students gain ex-
perience in working with young people and
developing their leadership skills while pro-
viding valuable assistance to the teachers
and Kathy Zavitz, Conservation Program
Co-ordinator.
The Ausable Bayfield Conservation
Authority (ABCA) is in its 21st year of offer-
ing conservation education to local schools
on the Boy Scout property. In addition to the
Camp Sylvan Conservation Program, the
ABCA provides a residential setting for the
Parkhill Conservation Program at White
Pine Woods in the Parkhill Conservation
Area. Many schools also take advantage of
the Conservation Areas situated throughout
the ABCA's area of jurisdiction for their out-
door studies. To find out more about the Pro-
grams offered by the ABCA, call 235-2610.
Superintendent of personnel resigns
BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE
The Huron County Board of Education's
superintendent of personnel will be leaving
at the end of August to take up a similar
position with the London Board of Educa-
tion.
Peter Gryseels presented his resignation
to director of education Robert Allan on
Wednesday, June 5. Allan said the boaliid
had been made aware of the possibility that
Gryseels may leave at the committee -of -
the -whole session on Monday, June 3.
Allan said an advertisement will be plac-
ed soon. He said that the board will actually
be looking for a personnel relations ad-
ministrator,
dministrator, Gryseels' original title before
he obtained his supervisory officers' papers.
The director said the board prefers that the

applicant have supervisory officers'
qualifications or working towards such
qualifications.
He said the position has a salary of about
862,000.
Gryseels has been 'with the board for five
and a half years.
Taking into consideration that the school
board and its secondary school teachers are
at a sensitive stage in negotiations, Mr.
Allan said it is his personal hope that all ma-
jor contracts are tidied up before Gryseels
eaves. Negotiations are Gryseels major
task.
"That will take commitment from both
sides," said Mr. Allan.
Mr. Gryseels said the test of any decision
is to determine if you would make it again.

He said his decision to come to Huron was a
good one and he would do it again.
"I look back at my time with a lot of happy
memories," said Gryseels.
He noted that his new employer in
September has allowed that if the Huron
County board of education thinks its
necessary for Mr. Gryseels to continue
negotiations after September 1, they would
allow that. Whether or not that actually hap-
pens depends on the school board's hiring
procedure, said Gryseels.
This, said the superintendent, doesn't
leave the impression that he is walking out
in the middle of secondary school negotia-
tions.
Gryseels and his wife Veronica, and their
three children, Lynnette, Bryden-Anne and
Peter, will continue to live in Exeter.
