A a Pe A Te LEY BYES DA A AER 6 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed. April 7, 1982 chatterbox Education cost u (continued) of a resurgence of rural Ontario, especially in the central and eastern parts of the province. At best, these areas can hope to maintain some kind of holding pattern. Already the stagnation has set in. Mr. O'Brien points to the transfer of wealth from rural to urban centres. That is important to be sure. I think that the transfer of people may be more important. Somehow, rural Ontario must persuade its young people to "stay at home," rather than watch them the exodus to the cities. Without people; good people with energy, vitality, tradition and roots, there is nothing. And that's the challenge rural Ontario is facing. , "CARPENTRY PLUS" | ) 1 ) ) Farm Buildings - Residential Additions & Garages Block work - Excavations - Fencing { 0 | 1 1 Barn & Residential Painting - Landscaping 986-5282 986-5601 etl SRG (From pagel) Alberta's main source of in- come is beef cattle.

INSTRUCTOR: Larry Austin texts and other materials; higher costs for operating and maintaining school buildings and facilities; and the implementation of spe- cial education programs. "I recognize that these are times of economic hardship, but there is still the need to prepare and educate our young people," he said. But he went on to say that school boards are going to have to get 'the message across to teachers unions that there is not an unlimited supply of tax dollars." If the budget presented last week is approved by the Board on April 13, the average property owner in Scugog Township will be facing a total tax increase this year in excess of $70. School taxes will go up about $50. The Durham Region budget is going to increase taxes by about $14. Although Scugog Township council has not yet set its 1982 budget, it is expected that the local increase will be in the neighbourhood of $12. The proposed school Board budget does include some capital spending for improvements to schools in Scugog Township. There will be $62,000 spent on Port Perry High School; $4000 for Cartwright High p16% School; $5400 at Prince Albert School; $33,000 at R.H. Cornish; $18,000 at Greenbank; and $1200 at "Cartwright P.S. The estimated student enrolment for 1982 in the Durham Board is 29,500 elementary and 17,450 sec- ondary students. The Board estimates that these enrolment figures will remain virtually unchanged (in total) over the next ten years. A breakdown of the total budget shows the largest portion will be in salaries and employee benefits. These will amount to $97.8 million. Supply and services will amount to $14.3 million, while extraordinary expenses will be $12.9 million. When the budget was pre- sented to the Board March 29, finance committee chair- man P.E. Mattson noted in his message to trustees that "the Durham Board has consistently been among the lowest spending Board of its size in Ontario." Mr. Mattson noted that the Durham tax increases for education compare with hikes in other areas such as Metro at $65; Peel Region at $61; and York Region at $80 per average house.
