Allen said. hewfelt said that if a scheme was put together grandstand could be financed like the arena, without any tax dollars. Allen remarked that board" would be biting off something else nthey hadn't had the arena paid for." ecreation director Mike Dymond said that if recreation board was to be involved, then it here! • • would be sound policy to first determine a need for the ..grandstand and if that need proved positive then it provided a good foundation for fund raising. The board, now is considering a multi-purpose facility that would include the recreation office and perhaps" a senior citizens room as well as room for the pari-mutuel betting. Dymond is going to arrange a meeting with all interested groups to discuss the feasibility of a new gran- dstand. Planner • from page 1 planning is ."going on behind the scenes" by people of all walks of life interested in their own personal affairs. He said that in a municipality Mediator s appointed The Ontario Education Relations Commission announced recently that Barry Lowes has been appointed td act as a mediator ,in negotiations between the Huron County Board of Education and its elementary school teachers. Lowes will attempt to get the two parties back to the bargaining table after• a recent fact finder report indicated that negotiations had been fruitless. D. S. Samuels recommended a mediator 'for the contract talks in a fact finder report sub- mitted in October. Samuels, appointed by the commission, to investigate why the negotiation has stalled, said he coundn't find fault with either party but that the spirit of the negdtiations indicated a mutual mistrust. He said it appeared as though neither side was listening to the other and that a mediator may be able to resolve that problem. Lowes is a Toronto businessman but has had experience in school board negotiations. He is a former professor and received post secondary education at the University of Toronto and New York University. He is also a former school board trustee. The Education Relations Commission ap- pointed Harvey L. Ladd recently as a mediator to assist the Huron County Board of Education and its secondary school teachers in their con- tract negotiations. Ladd, of Burlington, Ontario, began meeting with board and teacher negotiators this week. The appointment was made after the board and the teachers agreed with a fact finder report that negotiations should be taken to a mediator if problems were to be resolved. The report, prepared by D.S. Lawless, indicated that negotiations had been fruitless and showed no signs of improving. The teachers had asked for a mediator late in September but the board refused the suggestion. The fact finder report was submitted October 19 and the board en- dorsed the appointment of a mediator November 7. Ladd has extensive experience in his field and Is privately employed.as a labour relations consultant. He has lectured extensively on the collective bargaining process and has conducted training courses in the field. He has previously assisted school hoards and teachers in 13 school areas including Windsor and Metro Secondary and the counties of Bruce and Lambton. SauaRe like Stanley Township which has lakefront land,: there .are more non-residents than residents involved in this kind of planning, When citizens go about planning in such a haphazard way, Steckle said, the local councils find themselves with some real problems on their hands. Steckle said he had not always been happy with the county planning department, but commended the planners for the assistance they had provided to the townships in most instances. Reeve Ed Oddleifson, Bayfield, echoed those sentiments saying the Huron County Planning department had helped to protect Bayfield from becoming "something we didn't want". Deputy -reeve Eldrid Simmons of Exeter said that to h're another planner was "the cheapest route". I suggested that if local councils hired their own planning consultants, they would find it much more expensive. He suggested that if the county turned down the planning board's My Fair Lady "1 think she's got it."
