BE ------------------meeee 10 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, August 25, 1998 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" ®a Teachers vow not to back CHRIS HALL / PORT PERRY STAR HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Family and friends helped Dorothy McHarg celebrate Continued from front page the negotiating committee working on the collective agreement -- contend that although more money was pumped into Durham through the government's new funding model, there are specific ways in which 1t can be spent. Hiring more teachers 1s not an option that's available to trustees, she said. Mrs. Drew couldnt be reached for comment last week. Ms Jermey argues that the board has the ability -- and the responsibility -- to use the funds available to make sure the number of 8 down in their opposition ty" allowed in the province's new funding model, she con- tends. "We feel they need to reconsider," said Ms Jermey. "The ball's in their court now." Two days of negotiations are scheduled to take place in the first week of September. Dave Robinson, a teacher and OSSTF representative at Port Perry High School, said he feels his colleagues are feeling "resignation" about the possibility of fund- ing themselves on the picket line for the second time in less than a year. Teachers across the province launched an illegal two-week strike "Everyone seemed to have an indication (a strike) might be coming," said Mr. Robinson, referring to the pessimistic reports that have resulted from the nego- tiation process throughout the summer. He's hopeful, however, that a breakthrough will come when the two sides sit down to talk again Sept. 2 and 3. "There's a wait and see attitude," said Mr. Robinson. "The last time Durham came this close (to a strike) it was settled in the 11th hour." Ms Jermey is also hopeful an alternative to picket lines can be reached in the few days remaining before Sept. her 90th birthday at the Port Perry Nursing Home last Sunday afternoon Co teachers required are 1n (Aug. 23).

Lishmans still plan move to Clarington Continued from front page have received approval from Clarington council to rezone approximately 40 acres of the 212-acre property from agricul- tural land to industrial. The rest will be landscaped and reforest- ed. Opponents claim that the pro- posal is a waste of prime agricul- tural land, and worry that the factory will affect the nearby Wilmot Creek and the under- ground water tables. The fight in Clarington has been similar to the Lishmans' experience in Scugog. Concerted efforts by opponents here -- and a long list of requests for costly studies by government agencies - - convinced the couple to aban- don plans for a development in Nestleton, and look for opportu- nities elsewhere. "There was the whole Nestleton thing, and then there was the whole Clarington thing... we started wondering why we were even bothering," said Mr. Lishman. "We looked at a number of sce- narios and we were wooed by a large degree to South Carolina -- they almost offered to pay for us to move there. We also got offers to go to Hong Kong and two or three other places." It may be some time, as much as four years, before the project proceeds in Clarington, said Mr. Lishman. The company currently operates in its cramped head- quarters in Blackstock.
