2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, December 5th, 1979 Orono Weekly Times WILL f HE BABY PAY? Sitting at council on: Monday One could not but help a young Bowmanville mother, Marla Rosenberg, who calmly and without emotion debated with council the term of a ' by-law affecting the riding of bicyles on sidewalks. Rosenberg made her bid for youngsters who ride tricycles and asked council if it was the intent to force these youhgsters onto the . road. She also enquired if the town intended to issue a $5.00 fine to any youngster found riding their three-wheelers on the sidewalk. , Mayor Rickard said the by-law would be enforced with discretion and he didn't think enforcers would pick on youngsters. Rosenberg pointed out that the by-law made no distinction between three-wheelers and two-:Wheelers Which are manned by older children. She said that if the Town was not going to enforce the by-law then it was wrong to pass it. She commented, "This is teaching kids there are some laws to obey and some not to obey." "How do the kids decide?" she asked. The case was well put by this young mother and there was certainly logic in her reasoning. Perhaps one could encourage her to run for council. Seconda ry tea chers asking I2p.c. - plus The Secondary School Teachers Teachers employed by the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education and the Board have agreed to the entry of a mediator as to negotiations of a contract for 1979-80. The decision came Tuesday With the number of issues still unresolved the group agreed to mediation. The Fact Finder in his report of* November 28th concluded that the number and variety of unresolved articles make this dispute a fairly complex one. The Fact Finder also stated that he had steered away from specific recommendations in his report report as it was felt siich statements would not particularly particularly be helpful given the number and variety of issues still in dispute. As with the elementary teachers the board wishes to grandfather the sick leave credits as of September 1st, , 1979 while the secondary teachers Wish to carry on the status quo. The parties here hold similar views as do the parties in the elementary teachers negotiations. In benefits the teachers want the board this contract to assume 20 percent of OHIP premiums and to add an additional twenty percent for the next four years when the board would pay 100 percent of the cost. The Board wish to continue with teachers paying the full cost of their OHIP Great support shown to Kendal Eagles Kendal News premiums. Many other differences occur occur in such as staffing, allowances for degrees, remuneration remuneration for principals and vice principals, responsibility allowances, : allowances for related experiences, certification certification ratings and teacher's categories and pay. The secondary teachers have requested a 12 percent increase at the Senior Teacher Teacher Salary which they feel would keep them in pace with the rise in the cost of living. The annual iiicrement would be in addition to this increase. The Board is offering an increase of 3.94 percent (excluding the annual increment) increment) or 6.5 percent with the increment which would boost the average teacher's salary by $1,490.00. The Board again points out that they pay the third highest salary of their eight neighbouring boards. The fact finder points out in his report that the average settlement across the province province has been roughly $1,500 a year for the average teacher in the secondary field. The Board wishes to make a lump sum increase to all teachers as they have in the elementary sector where* each teacher receives the same increase in dollars no matter where oh the grid. The secondary teachers are in opposition to this proposal and want the increase based on STS.
