Mrs. Ellis said she is seeking $13,000 in damages from Central Seven to cover lost wages, legal and other costs. Mrs. Ellis launched the action after she was dismissed from her Job with Cental Seven last May, when she was several months pregnant with her first child. She claims the dismissal was a result of her being pregnant, a claim that was denied by Central Seven. Central Seven executive direc- tor James Duncan told the Star last Thursday the organization has not received any official notifica- tion of the Employment Standards Branch ruling. He declined to comment until, that notification is received. ' Efforts by the Star to contact the officer with Employment Standards who handled Mrs. Ellis' complaints were not successful. The officer who handled the case was out of town until this week and there was nobody else at the branch who could comment on this specific case. But Mrs. Ellis said she feels she has won a victory of sorts, but it won't be complete she said until she receives a final settle- ment from Central Seven and a letter of apology. Nestleton proposal preliminary green A proposal for development of 36 building lots in Nestleton has received a preliminary green light from Township council. The proposed lots, on land in the northeast quadrant of the ham- let, would be about .75 acre in size, said developer Gord Mason at the council meeting Monday af- ternoon. } All but a very small amount of the land where the lots are lo- cated is now inside the boundary of the hamlet designated for resi- dential growth. Mr. Mason told council that it likely would two or three years before any building took place. Council agreed to a motion from Lawrence Malcolm that the municipality advertise a public meeting to inform residents that the number of designated lots in the hamlet plan for that area could be increased from 32 to 36. There has been a considerable amount of residential building ac- tivity in Nestleton in the last couple of years. More than 60 lots have already been approved in that hamlet on Highway 7A, east of Port Perry. 5 C SRA CISD CD ASD CSD CX ek oo 00 SD CS °F 0 RENAISSANCE & | g 3 FANCY GOODS | © 0 ~ Victorian Night Gowns by Serendipity 0. £ Lace Trimmed or Handpainted J's & Sweats 5 & 1928 Jewellery Collection J 0 Pot Pourri's & Sachets 1 9 5 BROOKLIN ¢ \ VILLAGE SHOPPE | ¢ Ae fine ladies' clothiers ) HWY. 12 -- BROOKLIN 2 2 Q 04 oC 00 nq 0Cq Oc Cag ne CQ / VCR CLINIC Mrs. Ellis said that last May she was asked to take a transfer from her duties as counsellor at Central Seven's Smith House on Scugog Island, to the Carlan resi-- dence on Durham Road 8. She said she objected to the _ transfer at that time because the residents who live at Carlan House are younger, stronger and more aggressive. Being several months pregnant, she feared for the physical well being of her un- born child. Mrs. Ellis said she reluctantly took the transfer and then a couple of days later was dismissed. Central Seven has declined to state publicly why Mrs. Ellis was dismissed, other than that it was "for cause" that had nothing to do with the fact she was pregnant and planning to take a maternity leave at the end of September last year. Mrs. Ellis said last Thursday she was told verbally by Employ- ment Standards that her pregnancy was a factor in her dismissal. She also said that unless a settlement with Central Seven can be worked out in the next week or so, the Human Rights Commis- sion may get involved on her be- half.
