The meeting between the Board and CUPE Local 218 which represents the 350 striking employees, will get underway at 9:00 AM Wed- nesday morning at the Holiday Inn in Oshawa. The meeting was arranged by the mediator appointed by the provincial Labour Depart- ment. CUPE representative Russ Whitney told the Star on Monday morning he is "hopeful" the outstanding issues between the two sides can be resolved. "It is in the best interests of both sides to come to a collective agreement," said Mr. Whitney. There are several issues outstanding between the two sides, but the main one is wages. The union has asked for a nine per cent wage increase while the Board has offered seven per cent. Under: the terms of the old two year pact which expired last March, workers were paid between $8.61 and $9.30 an hour. The walk-out has affected all schools in Scugog Town- ship except R.H. Cornish and Cartwright Central Public Schools, where the custodians are under private contract and not members of the union. However, cafeteria service at the schools has been suspended. At Port Perry High School, principal John Gradish said Monday morning that there have been no serious problems. All washrooms and the cafeteria have re- mained open during the first week of the strike, but food service has been curtailed. The High School was (Turn to page 2) Council opposed to liquor licence Scugog Township council has voted to officially oppose an application for a liquor licence being sought by Rolling Hills Riding Aca- demy on the Shirley Road, south of Port Perry. In a vote, Monday after- noon that was not unanimous council decided that the Township solicitor should appear at the November 9 hearing of the Liquor Li- cencing Board and voice objections on the grounds that a licenced dining lounge would be contrary to local zoning by-laws. The motion to send the Township lawyer to the hearing carried by a five to one margin with Regional councillor Lawrence Malcolm in dis-agreement. He said the matter is zoning problem, not nec- essarily one concerning the granting of a dining lounge licence. Rolling Hills has been serving liquor at dances and functions under special occasion permits for the past year or so, and the Township has received noise and parking complaints on more than one instance from a resident who lives near the riding stables.

If you have one of these monsters at your door this Saturday night for Hallowe'en, it might be a good idea to keep him happy with a treat or two. Hallowe'en is being held on Saturday this year instead of the traditional October 31 [Sunday]. Drivers are urged to keep a close eye out for the little ghosts and goblins that will be darting across the roads. If they are wearing masks like the one above, it is quite possible they won"t see you coming, so be very careful. Let's make this a safe and happy evening for the youngsters. Will get OMB hearing Subdivision opposed Formal objections have been raised to a proposed 88 home Shaw subdivision and marina to be located on the east side of Durham Road 2, just north of Port Perry. The objections come from two residents of the general area and from Cesaroni Holdings Ltd., a develop- ment company now in the process of selling building lots in a subdivision on the west side of Durham Road 2. A letter to the Township from the law firm repre senting Cesaroni Ltd. calls the proposed Shaw sub- division across the road "premature," as there is an abundance of serviced lots already in the general area. The two residents note in their letters of objection that there is an "abundance of wildlife" in the area, the marina will create more traffic on the lake, and there are enough subdivisions already in Scugog Township. When the letters were tabled at the council meeting Monday afternoon, some councillors were surprised. The proposed subdivision has received the necessary amendment to the Durham Official Plan; the sub- division agreement has been signed with the municipality, and the developer appar- ently is ready to start initial work next spring. All that remained was for the Township to re-zone the land, the usual final step in any subdivision agreement between the municipality and a developer. Council agreed to forward the objections to the Ontario Municipal Board for a hearing. The project has been supported by councils over the last few years. , To ----_---- ---- -- p-- WG indie 20) Ng he *p cena, aie: Paco rg) WC, yy pn Ag POR rN Cllr hol iy LA <<.
