“At times. instead of identify- ing and dealing with issues, the immediate objective seemed to be to discredit the other side. The fact that the last six meet- ing were open to the public may have encouraged this behaviour. It is my hope that this letter In an open letter to the teach- ers, copies of which were later released to the news media, Mr. Huntcr_ reviewed the negotia- tions that have been going on between the Trustees' Salary Negotiating Committee and the Teachers‘ Negotiating Commit- tee du ring the past three months, They resumed negotia- tions last week. He said they had met seven times during that period without reaching any agreement, and he was concerned that “little. if any. progress appears to have been made.

SUPPLY FROM METRO The Thornhill area now also has access to emergency supplies of water through connections to Metro at Dudley Avenue and Wood- bine Avenue (Don Mills Road). The emergency water supply agreement was to have run out this year after‘ being effective for two sum- mers. But earlier this month it was continued until 1975. By then Thornhill and the rest of York Region is ex- pected to be assured a per- manent supply of Lake On- tario water. The continued agreement with Metro gives Thornhill and the nearby Don Mills industrial area access to an emergency supply of a mil- lion gallons a day at a rate five cents a thousand gal- lons more than Metro charges its boroughs, says Markham Mayor Anthony Roman, York Region engi- neering committee chairman. FOR INDUSTRIAL AREA York Region did draw on the Metro emergency supp- b’ for the Thornhill area this summer, but mostly for the Don Mills area. This was when demand on the local wells was jud- ged to have reached a cri- tical level as set out in the agreement with Metro. At times 400.000 to 500,- 000 gallons were drawn in a day for the in- dustrial area through the industrial . 1water is going being . of its Thornhill-Don Mills area water supply from Met- ro at peak periods.

This was when demand on the local wells was jud- ged to have reached a cri- tical level as set out in the agreement with Metro. He said the board believed that the salaries of its employ- ees should reflect changing con- ditions.*The increase in spend- ing ceilings recently announced by the Minister of Education â€" 7.08 percent at the secondary level â€" weren't too different in terms of percentage change from the board's offer, although the minister's increase was on actual expenditures for the cal- He said that on May 31 the teachers’ committee had re- quested a grid, which incorpor- ated an increase of 14.5 percent over last year. On June 19. the trustees‘ committee offered a 7.02 percent increase. and a month later the board instructed that salaries be paid on the basis of this offer. The action was not to be in- terpreted as unwillingness on the part of the board to negoti- ate, Mr. Hunter said. “but rather they felt it would be unfair â€" and might cause hardship in some casesâ€"if September salar- ies were not increased over those paid last year." may serve as the stimulus to break out of this unproductive pattern," Mr. Hunter said.

But conditions have changed, and now a history specialist might not have any history classes, because of static enrol- ment and changes in subject endar year 1974, while the board's was for 1973-74. OPPOSES CEILINGS In the matter of expenditure ceilings, the chairman said the board was opposed to them, as it felt it was up to the elected trustees to determine the level of educational service to be sup- plied to a community. However, the ceilings were a way of life and the board was firm in its intention not to breach them. Mr. Hunter also reviewed the background in teacher certifica- tion. He said that, during the teacher shortage of the 605. it wasn't always possible to hire a teacher with the needed qualifi- cations, so it was the practise to protect the teacher‘s category if the principal asked him to teach out of his area of specialty. “In Essentials Unity; in Non-Essentials Liberty; in all things Charity” a uniform rate throughout the region, says the enginee- ring committee chairman.

In the struggle, Mrs. Graham was knocked to the ground, breaking two teeth and cutting her knee. By Young Pursesnatchers (Photo by Susan Samila) Mr. Hunter said the board recognized its obligation to place teachers on staff at pres- ent, if possible, but it was firm in adhering to the principle that the teacher who is teaching in his specialty area was making a greater contribution than he could make in another area. To abandon the principle would "remove the incentive for a teacher to accept a transfer to another school to obtain a time« table in his specialty and would call into question the whole category system," Mr. Hunter said. Also. the board took the posi- tion ‘hat it shouldn't have to pay a teacher for upgrading in history. for example. if there were no history classes for him to teach. As a result, he might be of- fered an English class, rather than be declared surplus. Was this to be interpreted as the principal asking him to teach this class, or as the teach- er requesting it rather than be declared surplus? registration NOT COVERED As for the recognition clause of the 1972 bylaw before council took its final vote. The lawyer said council was cutting off the head first, then seeing about the head- ache. He said an OMB appeal was lodged the day before.

Buttonville Vote Unanimous - However, the refusal de- cision doesn’t appear likely to finally clear_up the ques- tion of planning for the land area around the airport. Markham Mayor Anthony Roman at last week’s meet- ing pointed out there has yet been no real positive ac- tion taken to plan the land area around the airport to prevent the increase of con- flict between aircraft and residents. It would appear this planning lack applies equally to the lands remain- ing in Markham and those added to Richmond Hill. RICHMOND HILL INVOLVED This time Richmond Hill Town Council and ratepay- ers also became involved in fighting the transport zone expansion when it was rea- lized the southeast corner of Richmond Hill was the one to be the most heavily af- fected. This fact was re- vealed publicly for the first time in the report of inde- pendent airport planning consultants hired by Mark- ham. The whole area closely involved in the issue used to be inside Markham Town- ship. But in 1971 much of the airport‘s environs were incorporated into the new regional town of Richmond Hill.

The decision was expected to get the final official endorsement of council this week. urn Down Airport Zoning So far as negotiations are concerned, the teachers’ com- mittee has taken the stand that all matters affecting working conditions are negotiable, Mr. Hunter said. “Thus when a union is certi- fied the employee has delegated to the union his right to make a contract covering his employ- ment. The teaching profession is not covered by the Labor Rela- tions Act. District 11, OSSTF, is not a corporate entity and hence is in no position to sign- a leg- ally binding agreement on be- half of its members," Mr. Hun- ter said. A request by the teachers‘ committee for a legally binding agreement between the board and the provincial body of the OSSTF was later withdrawn, the chairman said. sought by the Ontario Second- ary School Teachers Federation, such as is common between em- ployers and labor unions under the Labor Relations Act. the chairman said there were essen- tial differences in law between teachers and union members. Teachers hold an individual con- tract with the board, while union members do not. “We don‘t usually reverse the decisions of former coun- cils, but decided maybe this was the time it had to be done.

MUST PROVE CASE There is a Metro precedent (the Gothic case) supporting the legality of council's ac- tion in this matter, according to the town's advisors. But during the OMB appeal the municipality will have to prove its action was a proper one on planning grounds. Otherwise the OMB will ac- cept the bylaw as it did in the Gothic case.

HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 The teachers had also de- manded a formal grievance pro- cedure, which would eventually include third party arbitration. Mr. Hunter said also that the board now wanted to re-design â€"â€" with the help of the teach- ers â€" the organizational struc- tures, which had been set up in the 605 to deal with the needs then, and which now needed re- examination. He said he hoped his letter would be read for what it was, "a sincere effort to identify with the problems as I understand them and set out, as clearly as I can. the board’s position. It has not been written to score points. It has no hidden motives". The board. was prepared to confer with its teachers on this. but remained firm that, “since the board alone is responsible to the electors these major man- agement decisions are not nego- tiable." The trustees had agreed to this, but pointed out that it must be the last item dealt with, as the nature of the procedure must depend on the clauses un- der which a teacher. the federa- tion, or the board, “can grieve," the chairman said. He said also that, he didn’t think such letters al- ways achieved what they set out to. “When they come up with a statement saying they twill do this or won’t do ‘that . . . it’s harder to bar- 'gain when they say they [can't do certain things." Mr. The rescinded bylaw would have allowed three 12-storey buildings on the site. Adams says that while the plan tech- nically is for three apartment towers, it actually involves six such high rise structures slightly connected and over- lapping in certain places. RATEPAYERS MEETING The development proposed on this site has invoked con- siderable concern among local citizens. It will be one of the topics dealt with at a South Thornhill Ratepayers meeting at Henderson Avenue Public ORIGINAL PROPOSAL The developer originally proposed two 19-storey build- ings right at the corner, with townhouses behind. In subse- quent planning for the site, the apartments were moved east on John Street and changed to 12 storeys. a CN rail line raised high above ground level and heav- ily used. Adams says the rescinded Bylaw 34-72 called for nearly 1,000 residential units almost equally divided between townhouses and apartments. He described the townhouses as being at the heavy net density of 18 per acre.

Jolicoeur, 108 Pugsley Avenue, Richmond Hill with her Kahlua Pie. The town has considerable grounds for taking a new look at this development plan. Technical planners for both the towu and York Region have pointed out problems. while the York County Board of Education says an ordinary school building won't be sat- isfactory as proposed, be- cause of noise coming from the busy elevated adjacent railroad. AdVice from CN railroad planners supports this contention.
