Blyth council reluctantly agrees to zoning meeting
Blyth Village Councillors reluc
tantly agreed, at their Aug. 27
meeting, to schedule a special
meeting to read written complaints
against its zoning bylaw.
Reeve Albert Wasson was reluc
tant to go into the whole issue
again after learning that the only
written complaint received was
from the lawyer for George Szarek
over restrictions on development of
his lots at the east end of Dinsley
Few female teachers in
administrative positions
Figures in an Affirmative
Action/Employment Equity
report by the Federation of
Women Teachers' Associations
of Ontario (FWAO) show that
the number of women teachers
represented in administrative
positions is lower than desired.
According to Flo Dyck,
president of the Huron Women's
Teacher's Association (HWTA)
the figures show that from 1990
to 1991, only 23 percent of the
principals were women, and 42
percent were vice-principals.
This is despite the fact that
women teachers make up more
than 70 percent of all public
elementary school teachers.
In Huron County, she says,
the board of education is

statistics
province's, Ms Dyck says that is
due to the fact that there are not
many administrators retiring or
moving to different counties.
"Things have very much
remained steady."
The HWTA is preparing
women by giving them job
training necessary to qualify for
the position. They offer two
leadership courses to make sure
females are employable for
those positions — one which is
aimed al training interested
females in order for them to do
well when they apply, while the
other is a professional
development course.
"Speaking as a woman and a
teacher I am always open to
having more and more females
in supervisory positions.
However, I believe in
promoting a female who can do
the job, not promoting a female
because she is female," said Ms
Dyck.
The Ministry of Education, she
says, has set a goal to have females
occupy 50 percent of the adminis
trative positions by the year 2000.
She feels at the present rate of
change, however, that goal will not
be able to be reached for another 23
years. "That is why we are pushing
for public awareness on the issue."
The report showed as well that
despite 10 years of lobbying by the
Federation and several years of
government pressure, up to 30
school boards have not voluntarily
set up an employment equity pro
gram.
"The big thrust we want to make
is education and promotion of
female members and public aware
ness of the situation as it stands"
said Ms Dyck.

"I'm sick of this," the Reeve
stormed. "As far as I'm concerned
we can't afford this (the cost of a
special meeting). It's people like
that who are costing the ratepayers
money."
"Il's people like this all over the
country," chipped in Councillor
Dave Lee. "That's why we have all
the books of regulations."
Mr. Szarek has protested several
limes to council himself, and
through his lawyer, that he doesn't
feel restrictions on his property are
proper. Some of the restrictions are
due to flood-plain mapping from
the Blyth Creek at the back of the
property and were recommended
by the Maitland Valley Conserva
tion Authority (MVCA). Other
restrictions result from the fac
some of the lots aren't serviced
water or sewer.
"We've been over this issue, ant
over this issue, and over this issue,'
said Councillor Steven Sparling
pointing out that council had lis
tened to the advice of experts fron
the MVCA and the County Plan
ning Department in setting up th<
bylaw.

As no one ever knows the actual cost ofe------------------- ----------actual cost of electric heat (hot water, toaster, stove, lights
etc. are on the same bill). Grant used a test case in his daughter's already fuel efficient
prefab Royal Home with standard baseboard electric heating. He installed an oil stor
age tank, oil furnace, Beckett burner, duct work, and meter to isolate and measure
electric heating only.
