From Aound the Region (Contînued from page 7) Mils and Sex Classes Parents who pull their children out of sex and AIDS education pro- grains will face truancy charges, warns a top Durham region Separate School Board official.

Catholic Board studies co st of pay hike Catholic school officials say they still are not sure what a settiement awarded to its 240 teachers by an arbitrator last week will cost. Although, the teachers, who had been on strike for 18 days in February, were awarded an across- the-board 6.1 per cent pay increase, extra money will be given to many of the teachers who have less than the 13 years experience, and that makes calculating the cost of the package difficult for the board.

The proposed policy drawn upby the personnel, health services and occupationa! health and safety departments, sets out the obligation of the munîcipality to provide its employees with a safe working en- vironment and safe delivery of ser- vices to clients, as well as the rights of ill employees to work as long as possible.

The death toîl was so high that com- panies specializing in disposing of dead birds, by processing the car- casses into fertilizer, couldn't keep up. _ Dump compensation Durham Region council has adopted a policy that will compen- sate residents who live near any future regional dump sites. The policy drawn up by a special committee last month, sets out pay- ment for residents living near any site picked by the region for a long- term Durham-only dump.

The van and a two-man crew stopped at about 10 homes and got flagged down at another four to safely remove hazardous wastes such as old paint, Insecticides, drain cleaners, solvents, oils and bat- teries. If the pilot project is extended across the region, it will include two pick-ups per year in each municipality. Save space don't ralke Durham Region, which is trying to cut down on the amount of gar- bage heading into dumps, is askîng resîdents not to bag grass clippings, but to leave them on the lawns and help for the lawn. Leaving the clip- pinýgs on reduces water evaporation, and keeps the soil coller, according to lawn experts. Construction harmed trees A .Francis Street woman wants the town of Port Hope to replace trees on the north-east section of her property, which she says are dy- ing because of recent sewer work. Mary Rawlinson said a sewer pro- ject on Deblaquire Street upset the natural drainage pattern resulting in water ponding around the trees for nearly two months in 1989.
