::Ieparateants raises
nd. su p erl *ef .ent
to directorand ...
By Stephanie Levesque
The Huron -Perth Separate School Board granted
salary increases to its director and superintendent of
education at its Sept. 13 meeting in Dublin.
A 9.2 percent increase was approved by the board
for the director of education from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31,
1983. Effective Sept. 1, his salary increases from
.$49,500 to $53,500. On Jan. 1, 1983 the director's salary
increases by $2,000 bringing it to $55,500.
The superintendent's salary increases by 11 per
cent over 1982-83. Effective Sept.' 1 his salary in-
creases from $44,000 to $48,000 with a further increase
of $2,000 on Jan. 1,1983.
Two trustees, Ted Geoffrey of Zurich and Tim
McDonnell of Ellice Township, voted against the
director's increase. Mr. Geoffrey alone voted against
the superintendent's increase.
"I'm opposed to the motion... I'm not happy the
way education has been going in the past couple of
years," Mr. Geoffrey told the board when the direc-
tor's salary was up for consideration.
He added he couldn't justify the salary increases to
the taxpayers nor to himself. Summing up his views,
Mr. Geoffrey announced he would not be running for
office again in the upcoming election.
"I'll not be part of the board next year, I'll give so-
meone else the opportunity to take my position and
see what it's like," commented Mr. Geoffrey.
Mr. Geoffrey has served the township of Hay and
the villages of Hensall and Zurich since the county
wide board was established in 1969. Prior to that time
he served on the local board for Ecole Ste. Marie for
many years.
Trustee Ronald Murray of the Dublin area stated,
as he has said before, that he is opposed to high
wages. But this time he reasoned that in order to be
fair to the director and superintendent, the increases
had to be granted.
• "I don't like the high wages a damn bit ... nobody
likes them, but if we're going to pay our principals
$47,000, we can't pay our superintendent $44,000 and
the director $49,000," stated Mr. Murray.
"These gentlemen work longer and we'll not have
them paid less," said Mr. Murray noting the director
and superintendent work through the summer.
"The salary is certainly inflationary, but there is a
certain fairness to it," added Mr. Murray.
Stratford trustee Ronald Marcy told the board,
"although some trustees don't like it, our director is
the lowest paid in the province".
"Do you imow that for sure?" asked Mr. Murray.
"According to the figures we have," responded Mr.
Marcy.
"You don't know that for sure. They (director and
superintendent) have to be paid better than the prin-
cipals, we have a responsibility there," countered
Mr. Murray.
During a discussion on the superintendent's salary
Mr. Murray and Mr. Geoffrey argued over what was
a fair salary for a superintendent. Both men said they
didn't vote in favor of the teachers' salary increase of
11.1 per cent in the spring of this year.
"Is it fair for a man to make $10,000 a year and
there are some without jobs? You only get $2 for a
bushel of corn, is that fair?" Mr. Geoffrey enquired of
Mr. Murray.
Trustee Ernest Vanderschot reminded the board
the last time these particular employees' salaries
were discussed there was opposition from the public.
At that time he suggested the group look at teachers'
salaries.
"The public was completely quiet. I don't think it's
fair to 'go after two people and give the teachers a
raise," explained Mr. Vanderschot.
Administration travel allowance was also granted
an increase from 17.5 cents per kilometre to 18.5 cents
per kilometre.
Salaries for school office secretaries will increase
12 percent retroactive to Sept. 1. The starting salary
increased from $5.35 to $6 an hour, after one year, the
rate increases from $5.62 to $6.30 an hour and two
years plus, increases from $5.90 to $6.60 an hour.
Trustees take three pay raises
By Stephanie Levesque
. The Huron -Perth Separate School Board increased
the trustee honorarium for the next three years at a
meeting in Dublin on Sept. 13. .
Starting Dec. 1, trustees monthly allowance will in-
crease from $180 to $200. On Dec. 1, 1983 it will in- .
crease to $225 per month arid on Dee. 1;1984 it -Will -go
up to $250 a month.
Finance committee chairman Ted Geoffrey
presented the figures as a recommendation to the
board.
"It's up to the board," said Mr. Geoffrey.
Some trustees compared their honorarium to that
of surrounding boards, noting theirs conies up short.
Trustee Greg Fleming suggested the monthly figure
for the next three years be increased by $100, making
it $300, $325 and $350 respectively.
No comments were made on the suggestion and in a
7 to 5 vote, the allowance increase was approved.
Recent changes in the Education Act allow present
school boards to set the rates for the incoming board
which will be holding office for three years. The
Edi iention Act tt " lodger sets a maximum • for~ -
trustees' honorarium which for the Huron -Perth
board had been $200 a month.
It was pointed out that when the board was first
formed in 1969, trustees received $150 a month. The
honorarium has only increased twice since. The last
one in 1979 raised the honorarium to its current level
of $180.
The board also approved an increase in their
mileage rate from 17.5 cents a kilometre to 18.5 cents
a kilometre.
Attendance declines in county schools
Attendance at Huron County schools is down 1.5 per
cent from last yeae, trustees were told at the Sept. 7
meeting of the Huron County Board of Education in
Clinton.
The actual attendance figures were presented at
the afternoon meeting, after the numbers had been
gathered from schools in the morning.
Enrolment at elementary schools is down 1.1 per
cent from a year ago. Despite the overall decrease
there were attendance increases at East Wawanosh,
Exeter, Grey Central, Hensall, Huron Centennial,

f
The waters of rivers, streams and creeks belong to everyone.
Improper use of the watercourses which carry these waters may
result in the following?
- irrigation and drainage problems for neighbours
destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
- reduced recreational opportunities
- erosion and -flooding problems
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered in
any way including damming.,. d:ivertirtg., and channelizotion,
Federal and Provincial laws require that the approval of the
-Ministry of Natural Resources be obtained.

Harbour dredging
contract awarded
The engineering division of the federal Department
of Public Works announced that tenders will be called
for the dredging of the mouth of the harbour here. The
contract will call for the removal of about 38,000 cubic

crete work on the south pier is also expected to be
completed this fall.
Seminar offered
Everyone in business to-
day will appreciate the need
for the constant monitoring
of the financial aspects of
their businesses, if control of
costs and profit improve-
ment is to be achieved.
However, all too often,
businesses encounter finan-
cial,difficulty, and even
failue, because of a lack of
knowledge about sound
bookkeeping practices.
It is with this situation in
mind that the Federal
Business Development Bank
has prepared a seminar on
,bookkeeping that will be
presented on October 12 and
19 from 7 to 10 p.m. at Con-
estoga College, Stratford
Campus. A11.
owner/managers or
employees of small
businesses are invited to
participate. Practical in-
struction and exercise on the
journal, general ledger and
many entries leading up the
trial balance will be includ-
ed. Pre -registration of $45
per person is required, so in-
terested parties should con-
tact the Stratford Branch of
the Federal Business
Development Bank before
October 8, as registration is
limited. Call Faye Cook, 271-
