2 Th Canadian Statesman, Bownanville, Januarv 7, 1976 Suspect Fox Was Rabid Provincial Constable Barbara Cowie of the Newcastle detachment stands guard over the dead carcass of a suspected rabid fox. Const. Cowie and Const. George Moon responded to the report of the fox Sunday morning from Betsy Patterson of R.R. 1, Bowmanville. The two officers managed to locate and kill the animal in the wooded area along the east side of Regional Road 57, north of the Patterson property. - Photo by Doug Taylor This "awareness campaign" will be implemented at diffe- rent stages during the coming year. Financial Monkey Wrench A financial monkey wrench was thrown onto the scheme when Darcy McKeough an- nounced last month that the province wouldn't grant the expected $8 million to help phase in the new system. hough the government en- couraged the implementation of the regional water and sewer rates, the tightening of the money belt has reduced assistance to $1.1 million. Mr. Gartley states that $3.5 million of these expected funds were to be used for upgrading local systems and that the balance would help to pay for phasing in the new rates so that the cost to the taxpayer wouldn't be "onerous." Through delaying upgrading projects and uni- form rates for a few years, the finance department hopes to keep increases to a minimal amount. Charge Two (Continued From Page One) entrance at lot 141 through a plywood door on the north side an attempt was made to remove a basement fuse panel, which being alive, short circuitea. Police report the panel which was not taken, but did burn, will cost $100 to replace. Accidents (Continued From Page One) The collision of northbound and southbound vehicles oc- curred about 3:30 p.m. on the road which runs north from the 8th Concession to form the east boundary of Mosport Park, injuring two persons. Injured were the driver of the southbound vehicle, Ste- ven Bruce, age 20, of Hunt Street, Bowmanville and his passenger Susan Robertson, 18, of impson Avenue. Both sustained cuts, and were transported to Memorial Hos- pitaly Bowmanville Ambu- ance for treatment. Driver of the northbound vehicle, Gunther Saller of R.R. 2, Orono, was uninjured in the crash when the vehicles met at the crest of a hill in a narrow ass, 0.3 miles north of the 8th Une. Investigation of the collision by Provincial Constable Fitz- gerald estimates damage to each vebicle at approximately $1 800. ¯'riday morning (Jan. 2)1 Bowmanville firefighters were called to standb while Orono Towing re-rigited a tank truck which had landed on its side in the south ditch on the 7th concession at Regional Road 57. Police report the vehicle had been eastbound on the ice covered road when the driver, Arnold Etcher, in braking for the corner was unable to control the vehicle which proceeded into the ditch and rolled onto its right side. The mishap whnch left Mr. Etcher, of Orchard View Blvd., Bowmanville with only bruises, caused fuel oil to leak from the truck, requirin firemen to spray the area with foam to avoid the fuel from igniting while the truck was removed from the ditch. Constable George Moon in- vestigated the 11:28 a.m. incident which left the truck owned by A. H. Sturrock and Sons of Bowmanville with $1,000 damage. John Braybrook of Centre Street, Bowmanville, escaped injur Friday evening when his* MC Van went out of control on 401, just east of Courtice Road, spun around and came to rest in the south- ditch, on its roof, facing west. The 8:55 p.m. mishap caus- ed damage of $500 to the vehicle. Prior to the New Year's festivities, a two car crash on Trull's Road south of Highway 2 on Tuesday evening, (Dec. 30) caused a total of $1,500 damage. Everett Endicott of R.R. 6 Bowmanville, was northbounci when in passing an unknown vehicle, he collided with a vehicle parked on the west side, facin north. The En icott vehicle su- stained dama ge of $900 while the parked vehicle, owned by George Mayer of R.R. 6, Bowmanvie, suffered da- mage of $600 to the rear end. Bowmanville firemen were enroute to the 5:45 p.m. collision as the mishap invol- ved some fire but were cancelled before arrivai as it had burned itself out. CUPE Workers (Continued From Page One) local would not recommend sucb a thing to its member- ship. "The local school board has failed to offer a plug nickel," Mr. Wilde said. "I asked for an offer to take back and they gave us nothing". The local president said that any monetary offer, "even an eight percent increase" would have been taken back to the membership for its vote. He said the union bargaining team does not have to recom- mend the acceptance of the school board's offer to the members, but if the member- ship votes to accept it or to send the offer to the anti- inflation review board, the bargaining team stands over- ruled. "They never even offered us 10 per cent. CUPE doesn't recognize wage control. We told them that. They want us to agree that there is price and wage control first. We won't do that, it's a silly way to Jolly Club Holds Christmas Party Twenty-four members of the Jolly Club held their Christmas dinner at Memorial Park Club House on December 4th. Prize draws, a singsong of carols and games were enjoyed by all. The afghan was won by Mrs. A. Hoffman of Nelson St. Her ticket was drawn by the donor Mrs. Irene Candler. Thanks to all who made this possible. negotiate." A non-monetary, but "signi- ficant strike issue," which Mr. Wilde said- also remained unsettled was a job security clause which would prevent the school board from laying off CUPE workers to contract a job to an outsider. He said it was a "good security clause" that the contract should include. The decision to strike, if an acceptable agreement was not be reached, was made by the local members November 22. Mr. Wilden said 96 per cent of the membership were in favor of striking at the time, if no settlement were reached. The local will be in a legal position to strike, fourteen days after its receipt of the no board report. The local president admits a strike will mean members will probably be out of work and without pay for about six weeks. He said the anti- inflation board would not rule in favor of CUPE employees. Preparations for a strike will be made at the regular local meeting, January 10, Grant Sine School, Cobourg. WAGE SCALE Minimum - First six month probation period: 3.63-hour for a general laborer. Maximum - 1.40 hour. This is the wage for head caretak- ers at technical schools such as Port Hope High School CDCI East, Cobourg and Bowmanville High School. Average - 3.87 hour. This, as tbe caretaker's wage, is the wage of the majority of the local employees. - Cobourg Star Raises for (Continued From Page One) that if the area suDerintend- ents received only a ten per cent or $2,400 increase they would earn less than the principals of the schools they supervise. The board trustees argued that a supervisor should not earn less than the people he supervises. They also felt that the good super- visors might leave this juris- diction for other areas where they could receive higher pay. With the $2,400 limit placed by the Anti-Inflation Board, the area superintendents will earn $32,400, which is less than the senior principals who earn $34,025 under the new contract which was settled just before the federal wage and price guidelines were brought down. During the many debates on the matter, which bas now been settled by the Anti-Infla- tion Board, Dr. Ian Wilson philosophically described the teachers as "today people", because they got their raises before the guidelines were brought down. He argued that it was unfortunate, but the administrators were "tomor- row people", who just hap- pened not to have their contract settled by the dead- line of October 13. The majority of the trustees on the board did not accept the designation of "tomorrow people" for the administra- tors, but now the Anti-Infla- tion Board bas made the title come true. Board trustees and the director of education present- ed the case for the continua- tion of the formula to the Anti-Inflation Board in Ottawa and citizens presented the case against the formula raises. The Anti-Inflation Board made its decision on the basis of this information and the only appeal the adminis- trators and the board have now is to the federal cabinet. The next board of education meeting will be held January 8 and if an appeal is to be made, the decision to do so will be made then. - Cobourg Star Council Will (Continued From Page One) which would build a com- munity with ail its services within the Town of Newcastle on the border of the City of Oshawa. Unfortunately, Mr. Tot-n ina's application to sever the lots came at the same time as the introduction of the new bylaw, the stated intent of which was "to prevent devel- opment which could interfere with the achievement of the Courtice Concept until a final plan was determined." Council agreed with Mr. Robinson that they had at the time been in error with respect to Mr. Tomina's a lication and agreed to ahhow the lots to be severed. However the Regional Land Division dommittee denied the town's request on the argument that in order to al ow the change in Mr. Tomina's favor, a new bylaw must be passed since the region considered his plan a large development. Mr. Robinson plans to argue that the Tomina development would not have any unfavor- able effect on the Courtice Concept. The OMB hearin is sche- duled for Jan. 20 in t e Whitby Court House at 2 p.m. Merrymakers (Continued From Page One) suspended from the ceiling, centred by a huge net full of balloons of all shapes and sizes, which were released to float down on the merry- makers at the stroke of midnight. Ever~y per-son, young and old, were given party hats and noisemakers so that 1976 came in with a cacophony of noise from whisthes, bells and horns. During the evening games were played with euchre being the most popular while the brave an chyoung in spirit danced to the music of famous bands and groups accentuated by the pulsating effect of stereo strobe lights. Twenty-two prizes were 5iven to the winners of various ances and holders of special- ly marked lucky plates, as well as the^ oldest and young- est persons in asttendance. A buffet table laden with roast turkey, ham, salad dishes, cheese trays, relish trays and a variety of other taste treats provided a full range of delight to please every palate. A moment of meditation was observed at 11:55 p.m. as Rev. Schamerhorn spoke of the impressions of t he past year and the hopes for the coming year, followed by prayer. The arty continued well past t e magic hour of midnight and was enjoyed by all. L iberty-40 1 (Continued From Page One) minimal. What safety factors the Ministry are concerned with are not expressed in the Minister's letter. Digging back in the files at the tatesman and in conver- sation with the Newcastle OPP detachment, no one seems to recall any traffic accidents at the crossing involving trains. The only argument seems to be a long standing controversy over traffic on 401 having to stop for the rail traffic. The minister advises that "various solutions to this problem are presently being studied and several of these options affect the Liberty Street interchange due to its close proximity to the level crossing. Coun. Hobbs reminded council that it was revealed in the public meeting last fall at Bowmanville Hig School on resentation of the Regional fficial Plan, Study Paper Four, that the Ministry would have no objection to the intersection being closed. It was, according to Coun. Hobbs, also noted that such closing would likely come if council did not object at which time he believes "we'll be in serious trouble". The only member of council who appeared to side with the Ministry was Don Allin, who seemeh to have faith in their considerations of the matter and also felt council should examine the options before objecting so strongly. Coun. Ann Cowman com- Separate School Remains Closed Despite the installation of a new ventilation system, radia- tion levels at St. Mary's School in Port Hope have not decrea- sed enough for officials to authorize the reopening of the building at this time. The Christmas holiday is over for the students however, though tests conducted over the vacation indicate that the building is still not safe. The pupils and their teachers are now housed in a high school, a church basement and at other separate schools in the area. he elementary school was closed on December 12th following the discovery of high levels of radon gas on th e premises. Radioactive wastes were dumped at the site several years ago by the Eldorado Nuclear Company, and the gas formed as a result of radium breakdown. mented that she wished. she could share Coun. Allin's faith in hieher government but that she' could not" and does "not trust them." The minister f':rther advi- sed that the various alterna- tives which the Ministry is presently investigating will be presented to the Town's tech- nical and elected representa- tives when they have been identified and assessed. Residents of the area and the Durham Region represen- tatives will also be afforded the opportunity to comment on the matter before a decision is finalized on either of the proposals. The minister thanked coun- cil for having made their views on the Liberty Street interchange known ut sug- gested that "a final decision on the matter be deferred until all the options and factors have been fully evaluated." Plannin Director George Howden also felt that council should allow the Ministry to present their proposals 'which have a range of options" to council.
