Fact-finding report made public The Huron County Board of Education and its elementary teach­ ers have been negotiating a collec­ tive agreement since early last March. Their previous agreement expired on August 31, 1988. Some progress has been made, but the parties have been unable to resolve major issues such as prepar­ ation time and staffing, salary and benefits. Two attempts at mediation with Doug Lawless as mediator were held in May. A Fact-finding hearing with Helen Finley as Fact-finder was held in September. During the period of confidential­ ity of the Fact-finding Report, the Board was unwilling to meet with the teachers, citing the upcoming muni­ cipal elections as delaying further negotiations, according to Phil Parsons, president of the Ontario Public School Teachers’ Federation- Huron. The sides are not so far apart that settlement is out of the question, Mr. Parsons said. 12 tables at Blyth euchre There were 12 tables in play at the Nov. 7 euchre at Memorial Hall.
