2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., December 16, 1981 Money still the key issue wey RCH Teacher talks off Negotiations between the Durham Board of Education and its 1000 secondary school teachers have broken off and likely will not resume until the new year. The negotiations were broken off at the request of provncial mediator Gary O'Neill with the sides 3.7 per cent apart in the 'crucial wage demands. The teachers organization is seeking a 13.5 per cent increase in salary with the Board of Education offering 9.8 per cent. High school teachers with the Durham Board currently earn between $16,500 and $33,411 depending on exper- ience and education. Don Curran, negotiator for the teachers says the pupil- teacher ratio is also an issue in the contract talks. He says the ratio is currently 17.5 to one, but that includes all personnel in a school, with teaching certificates such as librarians, vice principals and principals. He claims that many classes have more than 25 | Gigantic Christmas Clearance | ALL FRAMED 2 0s OFF (IL PAINTINGS FORTHAT SPECIAL GIFT! some at PORTGIFTS & PICTURE FRAMING _233QUEENST,, PORTPERRY-985-2543 § Me - re Yarn-Macrame- Crafts Needle-Art Supplies 227 QUEEN ST., PORT PERRY (416) 985-8011 20% OFF ALL CHILDREN'S "CHRISTMAS" STORY & ACTIVITY BOOKS (In Stock Quantities) 235 Queen St. : port "8% - Port Perry - Stationery & Office Surrly 985-7383 students, which is the provincial average, and in fact the average class size in Durham is 27 students.

G.M. names president, manager The Board of Directors of General Motors of Canada Limited elected Donald E. Hackworth, 44, President and General Manager. Also in. New York, Mr. Hackworth was elected as vice president of General Motors Corporation and a "member of the Administra- tive Committee. He has been general manu- facturing manager at Olds- mobile Division and succeeds James R. Rinehart, who recently resigned as president and general manager of GM of Canada. A native of Circleville, Ohio, Mr. Hackworth is a 1963 graduate of Ohio State University with a bachelor of science degree in business administration. That same year he joined the Delco Moraine Division of GM in Dayton as a college graduate in training. In the next 14 years, he progressed steadily through the Delco Moraine organiza- tion from foreman to general foreman, superintendent, general superintendent, manufacturing manager and finally to works manager. In August, 1978, he was promoted to director of manufacturing facility planning on the Worldwide Product Planning Group in Detroit and a year later, August 1979, he moved to Oldsmobile in Lansing as general manufacturing manager. REINS AE OE A OE In a move that caught Regional councillors by surprise, Durham chairman Gary Herrema forced Toronto Star reporter Stan Josey to give up his place at the press table and move into the public gallery. Mr. Herrema said he was exiling Mr. Josey from the press. table as a form of protest because the Toronto Star no longer carries a page of Durham News. An obviously embarrassed Mr. Josey complied with the chairman's request at the Regional council's meeting last week and moved into the public_ gallery with his agenda and note pad. However, after making his point, Mr. Herrema allowed Mr. Josey to return to the press table. SARIN TARY 3 A "I'm not angry at Mr. Josey, but at the Toronto Star for dropping the Durham news page. "I have' raised this issue with editors at the Toronto Star and was told that Mr. Josey is submitting news stories about the Region but they are not being printed," said Mr. Herrema. Before Mr. Herréema allowed Mr, Josey to return to his place at the press table, several regional councillors strongly argued against the action by the chairman, saying that Mr. Josey is a reporter who has no control over decisions made by the Toronto Star about news coverage. The Toronto Star used to print a full page of Durham Region news on a daily basis, Uxbridge gets the more pricey home Are more expensive homes being built in Uxbridge than in Scugog Township? It seems that way, by a substantial margin. Figures released by the Durham Region Planning department last week show that up to the end of Sept- ember 30, there were 100 building permits issued in Scugog Township for new homes with a total value of $4,822,500. In 'Uxbridge Township during the same nine months, there were permits issued for 65 new homes with a total value of $4,781,500. If these figures are accurate, it means the average value of a new home in Scugog is $48,225, while the Syseest Pale in Uxbridge is Across Dur 5 A agion in the first 4 months, there were 1747 permits issued, in addition to 368 permits for semi-detached, 20 row house permits and 216 apartment units for a total value of $110 million. The hottest spot in the Region for new housing development is Oshawa with a total of 744 permits, follow- ed by Pickering with 704 and Whitby with 520. However, in single detach- ed homes, Pickering led all municipalities with 606, followed by Whitby with 423 and Oshawa with 336. : McLaughlin elected Federation president Lawrence McLaughlin, Nestleton, has been elected as the new President of the Durham Region Federation of Agriculture.

Although he did not respond to the chairman, Mr. Josey appeared upset when asked to leave the press table, and when he returned a few moments later, he told other reporters he had no idea he was going to be singled out by Mr. Herrema in protest for decisions made by the Toronto Star about news coverage. The twice monthly regional council meetings are regularly covered by reporters from two dailies, two radio stations, and several weekly newspapers, including the Port Perry Star.
