The early morning fire, which caused an estimated $2 million damage to the church over a month ago, destroyed of the 30-year- old building and most of its contents. "There were very few things that were pulled out of the fire intact, so we knew we had to do something with this one," Mr. Rogers said, describ- ing the blackened statue as a "terrible sight". "We had to give it a base coat and then repair all the broken parts. We gave it a nice new paint job, and here it is," he said. "We're happy to be able to do this for Father Charlie.

But Scugog trustee Bobbie Drew, who sits on the board's negotiating committee, said it's not as simple as hiring more teachers. The board is bound by the requirements imposed by the govern- ment, which has indicated how money is to be spent under its new funding scheme, she said. "We don't have the flexi- bility to move money around that we did in the past, because that flexibili- ty isn't there," said Mrs. Drew. While Durham has ben- efited under the new fund- ing formula, money desig- nated for classroom Teachers talking strike as September nears expenditures must be used that way, said Mrs. Drew. "We have the flexibility of moving money into the classroom, but not out of the classroom... I don' think there's any willingness to move it out to use for teach- ers' salaries."
