Buck bucks at parity for nurses Mayor Evelyn Buck of Aurora, a member of the negotiating team of York Region's board of health, said last week she doesn't think the region’s nurses deserve parity with hospital nurses. The region’s two nursing groups, the community health nurses, and nurses at York Manor Home for the Aged. are both working toward that goal. The community health nurses are members of Local 16 of the Ontario Nurses Association, but the York Manor nurses are non-union. region was negotiating with the community nurses, but talks broke off and aren’t expected to resume until sometime in August. The nurses want raises ranging from 14 to 40 per cent. At present, they receive between $8,270 and $11,275, in line with experience and other qualifications. 1‘ u, TVAngela Hamlin, spokesman for the community nurses, said their pay is almost $2,000 below that of hospital nurses The Children’s Summer Workshop at the King Campus of Seneca College is a program designed for children aged 9 to 14 years. It offers a meaningful learning experience in visual arts and recreation skills. Participants are divided into groups of 10 and spend the mornings in learning visual art skills and the afternoons in acquiring recreational skills. The program is open to any child in that age group for a fee of $35 per week.

At York Manor, the four full-time registered nurses received raises from $939210 $11,191 on January 1. The eight part-time nurses, who got $4.79 an hour last year, now get $5.36. Kathleen Jilek, director of nursing at York Manor, recently sent a note to the region’s administrative committee calling for the appointment of a negotiator “as soon as possible" to help settle the wage issue. In Toronto last week administrators of 104 Ontario hospitals and the presidents of their loca‘. nurses' unions approved a provincewide contract giving senior nurses at salary of $1,315 a. month by next January. The contract must mw go to the in- dividual hospital boards and 19,000 nurses for a final vote.

Steyens said: He said a train derailment at Bradford in April could have been avoided if a station agent was on duty at the time. “We don't share that opinion." said Simms.
