The main issue under dispute is how .to pay for the $2,200 a year experience increase for 95 teachers not yet a maximum sal- ary, it was reported in the Wing - ham Advance -Times. Trustee negotiating chairman David Inglis said under the So- cial Contract those increases can't be paid unless there are other payroll 'savings to offset the cost. He said, last Saturday, the board proposed staff changes or reduced use of supply teach- ers as of -setting measures. Equal school support endorsed AILSA CRAIG - A major shakeup in the way property tax- es are calculated was endorsed recently by Ailsa Craig Village Council. Council voted two weeks ago to support a county -wide reas- sessment which would mean that every owner of equal value property in each of the county's 21 municipalities would pay the same tax for education and county purposes, it was reported in the Parkhill Gazette. Goderich may ban smoking GODERICH - Smoking in re- tail stores and•estaurants may soon be restricted, if Goderich Town Council decides to pass a municipal non-smoking bylaw. Huron county Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Maarten Bokhout urged council to con- sider a ban on smoking in public areas recently. He said retailers are afraid they will lose customers if they restrict smoking, it was reported in the Goderich Signal -Star. "Unfortunately, not enough businesses arc voluntarily pro- hibiting smoking, despite the fact the fact that it would reduce their maintenance and cleaning costs as well as increase employ- ee productivity and health." And, he said, restaurants with non-smoking designated areas don't go far enough in their at- tempts to curb smoking. "Simply designating smoking and non-smoking rooms in a building without properly venti- lating them is Tike designating chlorinated end non -chlorinated ends in a swimming pool," he said.

Dog not injured as tree falls High winds brought down a large maple tree in the back yard of Darlene and Bi!! Van Ber- gen in Centralia on Friday morning. The tree was uprooted and crashed down onto two metal storage sheds containing snowmobiles, bikes and other items. The damage would not be know until all the branches were cleared away. The Van Bergen's dog Jenna, seen here with Darlene, was tied up near the tree and the branches fell around her but she was not injured. Portable class is put on hold Council against housing portable classroom behind police station EXETER - The idea of a portable classroom for alternative learning was met with concerns by many on Exeter council who questioned the ne- cessity of the class and the ability of the town to house it behind the for- mer police station. "It's for high school for students who are not benefitting from tradi- tional education," mayor Bruce Shaw said of the program that would be used by some six secondary, school students in the area. The executive committee was recommending the Huron County Board of Education be allowed to use the parking lot behind the police station for the alternate education site. Councillors were told that of all the sites looked at, this was the best one because of its proximity to South Huron District High School. But reeve Bill Mickle said this wouldn't be possible if council decides to begin renovations on the police station. As well councillor Lossy Fuller questioned the need for it the portable class. "It doesn't make sense for five or six students," said Fuller. "I think this is all wrong." Fuller said. Councillor Ben Hoogenboom suggested a storefront in downtown Exeter might be more appropriate. But Shaw said the trailer has already been bought by the ministry and is free to the board. As well, Shaw said the ministry of education doesn't want the portable class on school property. "The province has found it [the project] doesn't work when it's on school property," he said. "There's got to be a better location," ,Fuller said. Council voted to deny the item.
