N&N Secondary teachers settie with no increase in first year of 2 year deal The Northiumberland and Newcastle Board of Education becomes one of only two public school boards in the province to reach an agreement witli their secondary scbool teacliers whicli gives no pay increase in the 1992- 93 contract year, says Bob ,Willsher, cliairperson of the Board's personnel committee. Trustees toniglit ratified' a two year agreement wxith their secondarly scliool teachers at a closed portion of the regular board meeting. The contract runs from September, 1992 to September, 1994. It contains no0 increase in its firt year, a two per cent increase at the beginning of the second year, and a one per cent increase at the end of tlie second year of tlie contract. Willsher says that of tlie 45 public school boards whicli have settled contracts with their teachers "only one board, other than ours, lias managed wo reach a zero per cent increase for this scliool year." The two year contract also includes a "restructured benefi ts package for teachers," he says. "mhis will result in cost savings to the board without affecting the basic integrity of benefit coverage for teachers and their families." "The savings will help reduce the cost of salary increases in the second year." Willsher says negotiations witli elementary teachers "are moving at a siower pace and there's no seulement yet." A fact-finder from the Education Relations Commission bas been calied into the elementary bargaining process, lie says. Trustees voted at the meeting wo acknowledge their appreciation for the support and co-operation of tlie federation in reaching this settlement. C'.hri*stian Corner by Rev. Marg West You Can't IHde From God -In Proverbs 15:3 we see, "The eyes of the Lord are in EVERY place, bebolding the EVIL and the GOOD". You can't get away frorn God seeing wliat you are doing, or seeing as a matter of fact. In Psalm 139:23 tlie psalmist David is teling God, "Sear me 0 God, and know my heat try me and know my thouglits." We think be-cause we can hide things from our fiends and loved ones that nobody knows. But God. It's a good thing that God does look out for uis, (al liumanity) because it's only God wbo can cause things to bc turned around and shifted about. Circurnstances that seemn as if there is no way out or no answer to themn quite often turn around, or we ail of a sudden we know wbat Io do wo rectfy it. Ood Cares. He's a loving Father, and He will literally turn the world upside down for His cbildren. You bave to be boni to bave a father don't you. If you are alive you have a father or liad one. God can be Youir Father by being born again. Born again is asking Jesus to corne into your lieart. Being boni again' means you know that you have sinned (and al bave) Romans 3:23 tells us this. "For ail have sinned and corne short of the glory of God." Wben we ask Jesus wo corne into our bearts He takes away al of our sn. By asking Jesus to comne into your life you are acknowledging His Supreme sacrifice on the cross so that you can have eternal lîfe. The bible says in Hlebrews 9:27, "lt is APPOINTED unto men once to die, but after this the judgement." You don't want to bave wo stand before Jesus and be judged of everything you've ever donc, Do You? Jesus is the ONE who cani wash your siate dlean, just as if you liad neyer done any wrong ting. Trust Himi todlay, Try Himr and see if H' not ALL Nle says HE is in His Word. You will then bc able to caîIl God your Father, and every promise that's in the Bible will belong to you.
