W-Villshqer hop*eful of, r etl :U rnxto B% J3%deof Ed. Newcastle Village resident Bob Willsher confirined his intention to seek a seat on the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education -ia the November 12 election. In announcing his candidacy to the Orono Tmes Mr. Willsher said hie was running because hie believed his experience la business combined with his previous Board experience would be of value to the new Board and the taxpayers of Ward 3. "There will be a number of Trustees not returning to the Board," hie said, "and there are many tough issues the new Board will be facing. Experience will be important in dealing wîth them." Mr. Willsher, who is 47 years old, served on the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education from 1982 to 1988. During his 6 years in the Board hie served on most committees. He was selected as Vice Chairperson and Chairpeson of the Board. Mrù. Willsher has been employed by General Motors of Canada for the past 27 years. He has worked in the Personnel area of the business for aearly 21 years. Curreatly he is Supervisor of Salaried Personnel, for the Car Plants. I have worked in aIl facets of personnel and understand both. policy development and administration. 1 believe the Board needs to have a trustee who understands these areas given the comfplexity of negotiations with their employees, the multitude of new legislation from both levels of govemrment in Employment Equity, Health and Safety, Human Rights and Pay Equity," Mr. Willsher said. The growth in the Town of Newcastle is an issue Mr. Willsher believes the Board needs to tackle. *'We don't control the approval of subdivisions but we are significantly impacted by the Town's actions," he said. 'There is a need for the Board to be more aggressive la commentilig on subdivision approvals to ensure children have the right learning enviroment and we can afford the facilities needed to accommodate them," lie continued. Mr. Willsher was concerned about the reduction fro M 80% to 60% la Provincial funding of capital projects. "I don't know how the Province expects the homeowner to pick the added costs, and lot levies have already reached very high levels at the Regional and Municipal levels," he stated. Mr. Willsher believes the Board aeeds to look at innovative ways of providing this accommodation includiag the possibility of a low cost lease-back arrangement. -Mr. Willsher believes the next three years will be extremely challenging. 'With the Boards budget in excesS of $130 million and the studeflt growth not increasing propôrtionally, we need to examine whefe the costs cas be trimmed. in addition to the issue of costs, Mr. Wil1@her says there is still a feeling that taxpaYers are not getting value fo their education dollars. *Some parents are still concemned that thçir children are not receiving a proper education," hie said, "and real or imagined we must develop a bÇtter means of measuring performance of the education systein. The consumer, parents and stutlents, must know that the product is meeting their needs and that- is best communficated thirough objective performance measurement systems," hie conÇluded. Mr. Willsher is married to Lynda and they hav.e two sons, Stephen Who works in Bowmanville and Chris who attends Brock University in St. Catharines.
