(photo by Dave Sykes) Trusties feel time wasted BY JEFF"SEDDON The Huron County Board of Education wants the Ontario minister of education to make several changes to Bill 100 to expedite salary negotiations between boards and teachers. The board sent a list of recommendations to the minister through the Ontario School Trustees Council (OSTC) aimed at preventing time lags during lengthy contract talks. The alternatives dealt with provincial procedures requiring a fact finder to investigate negotiations if they cannot be settled in a specified period of time and that little time be wasted by the province appointing a mediator to assist in negotiations. Colborne township trustee Shirley Hazlitt, chairman of the board's negotiating team, said in a report to the board that the chairman of the OSTC made it clear to the board that any proposed changes to Bill 100 be specific and be made through OSTC to the minister. The, statement was made by OSTC executive director Dr. Peter Bargen when he spoke to the board on the merits of belonging to the council. Earlier in the year the board balked at costs to join OSTC . and the benefits of the mem- bership and Bargen met with trustees to point out reasons Huron should be a member. He said the Huron board may not have any success making ' recommendations to the minister of education if it stood alone but if the'• • Federation urges investigation BY RHEA HAMILTON A Royal Commission into the practises of large food chains is to be en- couraged by the Huron Federation of Agriculture. Gordon Hill presented•a resolution to the Federation meeting .Thursday night requesting that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture press for .a •Royal Commission• to investigate into the buying ethics and discount practises of food chains. "The legislative committee investigating the situation now, doesn't have the authority to demand witnesses to answer to the charges and give information" pointed out member Gordon Hill. A royal commission would have the authority to subpoena records and witnesses. The larger super- market chains have a practise of discounting a percentage from the` suppliers cheque before payment. Costs have been allotted to the ad- vertising portion for that product or for shelf space devoted to that 'product. In some cases, as much as 20 percent has been deducted. Mr. Hill cited the case 'of •Sun Parlour Co-op in Leamington where they have conformed to A & P demands and received criticisms for it. `,In Toronto there have been' • two murders of producers;""said Mr. Hill "and there have been rumours of involvement of the Mafia in this. No charges are to be lid over the discounting practises, which have been going on since 1972. The Huron Federation of Agriculture supported the resolution after a general discussion where members agreed that such practices were not fair to producers all over. recommendation was made by the council there was a far better chance of success. The need for the proposed changes became evident during the recent high school teacher strike in Huron. Negotiations for the 1977- 78 contract year opened in January 1977 and went on until February 1978 when the strike began. Valuable negotiation time was lost during the summer months when the parties left the bargaining table for the summer school break. The fact finder was not appointed by the education' relations commission until the fall of 1978 and his report was not released , unlit October. Mediator Harvey Ladd • was ap- pointed after the fact finder's report was released. The board's negotiating team suggested that Bill 100 be altered and that the fact finder be ap- pointed June 1 with the intention of making the fact finder report public in 30 days. It suggested that the parties be made to meet during summer months. and that a mediator be appointed September 1 if an agreement, still has not been reached. It suggested, that fact fin- ders be given definite guidelines or directives concerning method -or • style and •any recom- mendations they make and that the process of fact finding is a waste of time if either side refuses to consider the report or acknowledge the existence of a fact fin- der's report. The negotiating team also recommended that the education relations commission be more impartial and if the right to strike or lock out teachers is to remain the ERC be not so quick to recommend arbitration to the parties. Zurich trustee Herb Turkheirn told the board.: that the recom- mendations should be made through. the OSTC to have any impact. He said if the board sent the material to the minister in a letter it would probably, "lie on the bottom shelf somewhere and never be used". Minimum standards bylaw approved BY JEFF SEDDON Goderich Area Plan- ning Board passed a . watered down version of the proposed Property Standards, Bylaw Tuesday nigt and sent the document to town council to make it law. Planning board made some minor changes in the third draft of the standards bylaw and included some preamble that alleviated the fears of some , members that the bylaw was unfair; unrealistic and too rigid. County planner Roman Dzus, one of the authors of the bylaw, told the board that the preamble had been prepared by the town solicitor and had been worded to make it clear what the purpose of the bylaw was. He said Civic Corner Monday, June 12 the Founder's Day Com- mittee meets in the mayor's office at town hall at 7:30 p.m. Monday, June 12 the committee of council meets in the council chambers at town hall at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 13, the special committee re the water filtration plant takeover meets at 7:30 p.m. in the council chambers at town hall.

GEORGES CRESCENT, GODERICH, ONT. phone 524-8433 member metal arts guild ontario crafts council the changes made the bylaw a little more liberal but did not necessarily • make it a -great deal weaker. Planning board had its first glimpse of the bylaw two months ago and many members felt it was too severe and may open - the • door for someone to use the minimum standards for housing as a weapon in a neighborhood dispute. 1 Others felt the bylaw was too rigid pointing out that very few; if any, houses in Goderich could meet all the requirements of. the ' bylaw. Dzus said the purpose of the bylaw is, and always was, to show senior levels of gover- nment that the town was sincere in its desire fora quality ;housing. He said the bylaw was needed to show good faith when applying for .government funds for Neighborhood Improvement Projects and Residential Rehabilitation Assistance funds from the federal and provincial govern- ments. The bylaw received the unanimous approval of planning board and was sent to town council with a recommendation that it be given three readings` and made law.
