The report also warned councillors that the projected budget in 1983 for welfare payments in Durham could be double that of 1982. He told council that without the welfare component, the 1983 budget increase could be in the five per cent range. For 1982, Durham Region is predicting a $1 million deficit in the welfare payments, which has a net impact on the . Regional levy of about $200,000 since the provincial and federal government pay 80 per cent of welfare.

A compensation plan is already in place where the provincial government col- lects from insurance com- panies for accidents on pro- vincial highways and turns the money back to the fire departments. Uxbridge Mayor Bill Ball- department receives about $150 each time firefighters are called to an accident on provincial highways, but nothing for accidents on Regional roads. The request was sent to the management committee late in September, and for reasons not totally explained by management chairman Garnet Rickard, the commit- No- details have been re- a teacher at Central Park leased by either side. Teachers are likely to vote on the deal either November 24 or 25 says Jack Houghton, rates to predict how many Unemployment Insurance recipients will exhaust their benefits and be forced onto the welfare rolls if they can't find work. During discussion by coun- cil, Durham's social service committee chairman John DeHart noted the 1982 welfare budget was set on the basis of 1981, which he called a 'good year for welfare payments." . Pickering councillor Laurie Cahill took the opportunity to snipe at the 1982 overall budget, calling it an "'election year budget." ~ That remark was denied by finance committee chairman John Aker (who is running for the Regional chairman's job this year). Aker said the 8.8 per cent increase in 1982 will see a small overall surplus were it not for the sky- rocketing welfare payments. urfacing 985-9345 - Thank you for your strong support during my recent election. | will endeavour to carry out my responsibility to the citizens of Scugog Twp. to the best of my abilities. - A A Be BA PA PA A A FA I Pn An mS on mas A Pm Pt mas ns mas ama I om Pm on ms Yan Wn Pe PR Ha Yn Senior Public School and chief bargainer for the teachers. Houghton says the bar- gaining committee has rec- ommended teachers accept the contract offer. The board's finance committee may deal with the contract at its meeting on Wednesday. The next full board meet- ing is scheduled for Nov- ember 22. Under the agreement that expired August 31, teachers are paid between $17,733 and $36,685. The board pays 75 per cent of OHIP, group life, dental and medical benefits.

When the matter came up for discussion at Regional council last week, Uxbridge Mayor Ballinger demanded that the committee re- consider and try to go after costs for accidents on Regional Roads. "It would not cost the Region any money. All we want is the Region to go after the insurance companies to compensate our fire depart- ments," he said. With fire departments now having sophisticated equip- ment for getting accident vic- tims out of wrecked vehicles, more and more of the calls are to the scenes of the accidents. For a local fire department torespond to an accident call with equipment and men for just one hour costs a minimum of $200. It is estimated that now more than half the calls Scugog Fire department receives are for assistance at accidents on highways and roads. Regional council last week voted in favour a motion to ask its management commit- tee to further study the issue about compensation for ac- cidents on Regional Roads.

JIM ASHLEY After a year and a half's sabbatical, Ashley has fulfill- ed a life-long ambition in the formation of a small singing group - Sounds Great. It took Jim a year of think- ing and planning, before in- the early shopper gets the . best Christmas buys viting singers of known quali- ty who would be interested in singing under his direction in a small group. Thus Sounds Great was off and singing. Striving for distinction and consistency of sound, the group has been work ing toward building a repertoire of modern and vintage ballads, jazz, spirituals and light rock.
