Perth teachers settle BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE An automatic five per cent salary increase means the 1983-84 collective agreement of Perth's 377 elementary public school teachers focus- es on non -monetary issues, At a press conference on June 30, the chairman of the board's negotiating commit- tee, Rev. John Anderson of Listowel, and the negotiator for the teachers, Ron Marion of R.R.11 Milverton, announ- ced the ratification of the agreement. The non -monetary, issues include some clarification of wording in the agreement and the introduct,yiion of a teacher -funded leake plan. It was the clarification of the wording that most pleased both groups. Mr. Anderson said the introduction of a short-term professional development leave 'plan, which replaces thef rmer sabbatical leave, plead him the most as the boar and students would benefit from the teachers' up -grading: This plan allows for teach- ers to leave teaching for up to four months for study or research. Funding is provi- ded on the basis of $85 per teacher, creating a fund of about 532,000. "As spokesman for the branch affiliates, the staffing review committee will have the greatest single impact over the next five years," said Mr. Marion. Mr. Anderson said this committee, to be madee` up of four teachers, two principals and two superintendents, is to review staffing, timetab- ling and scheduling 'of in- structional and non -instruc- tional responsibilities of each teacher at schools selected by the committee. Both the teachers' and the board's representatives said the opportunity to discuss the non -monetary issues was welcome. The 1983-84 salary grid is as follows, with the previous grid figures in brackets: Level one ranges from $14,866 (514,158) to 520,886 ($19,891) Level four (with degree) ran- ges from 519,840 (518,400) to $32,719 (531,161); Level sev- en ranges from 523,147 (522,045) to 541,805 (539,814) The average elementary school teachers' salary in Perth is 530,818, excluding principals' salaries. Principals salaries range from a minimum, of $49,245 ($46,900) to a maximum of 551,366 (548,920) in category A. Category 13 principals' salaries range from 545,958 (543,770) to 549,193 ($46,850) Categories are based on the number of students enrol- led/in the school. Allowances are as follows, with last year's figures in brackets: trainable mentally retarded school principals, vice -principals and consul- tants $3,675 ($3,500,1; itiner- ant teacher $525 (5500); spec- ial education $735 (5700); and French $420 (5400). Advised to declare "It's better to err on the side of safety," Perth Coutity' Board of Education trustees were advised regarding a possible conflict of interest. At its July 19 meeting, Stratford trustee and lawyer Paul Parlee reviewed the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act with the board. There was some urgency in discussing the new act be- cause minutes from a pre- vious meeting to be approved at this meeting included conflicts for some members. Two trustees had to declare a conflict of interest regard- ing the elementary school teachers' agreement which was recently ratified and to be approved from the minutes of the board's June 21 meeting. The two trustees, Stratford trustee Canon Michael Grif- fin and Elma Township trust- ee Gerald Foster declared conflicts of interest. Accord- ing to the minutes, neither voted or discussed the subject and both left the committee - of -the -whole meeting during the discussion. Previously the trustees only had to declare the conflict of interest, but pow trustees have to declare the McKiI res Correspo dd,ant MRS.

In an unrelated matter arising from the minutes, Downie Township trustee David Hammond declared a conflict of interest regarding the contract for school bus operators. He indicated there is a connection between him- selfand T.G. Hammond Ltd. of St. Marys where some, school buses buy gasoline. Blanshard Township trust- ee Peter Black wanted to know if relatives teaching in other systems resulted in a conflict regarding the teach- ers' contract. He said he has a brother who teaches in the Niagara system. The Stratford lawyer said relatives teaching in other systems could be a possible conflict as the salary nego- tiating committee uses statis- t tics from other boards to assist negotiations. Other changes in the act outlined by Mr. Parlee are: a wider definition of spouse to include common-law spouses. and the definition of `children includes step.,child- ideat dies Funeral service held at Heath-t-esue i unerai nome, July 26.

Staffens plans to expand again more parking spaces behind the store where receiving is now located. Subject to approval by the town, manager Dave Staffen expects to break ground Oct. I with a grand opening in about three months. The store will stay open during construction. Though it has only been two years since their last expansion, Staffens Food Market, in Mitchell is plan- ning to expand the store by 6,000 feet. The new addition which will cost 5425;000, will bring the total retail space of the store to 16,000 square feet. Of the total cost, $100,000 will be spent on new equipment for the meat department and the deep freezer section in partic- ular, The "bunker" type freezer will be replaced with a five deck freezer section and the meat department will include a deli. Staffens has purchased the former residence of Paul Lockhart on the east side of the building and the addition will add about 50 feet to the front of the store. A 25 foot receiving lane to the rear section will allow for about 25 r Fitness: Whot it does for your body it does for your mind. 40, vamrnaarnl ren and illegitimate children. Parents pre the only other relatives defined in' the act, Mr. Parlee added that whe- ther or 'not these relatives resided in the same house, the conflict has to be de- clared. Trustees have three obliga- tions under the new act said Mr. Parlee. They have to declare a conflict of interest and the general nature of the conflict, they must not take part in discussion or vote on the matter, and thirdly, they must not attempt to influence voting on the subject. Logan Township trustee Earl Oppenhauser attended a workshop on the conflict of interest act sponsored by the Ontario Public School Trust- ees' Association (OPSTA). His major concern is the effect of the act on admini stration. He questioned law- yers at the workshop and they assured him that administra- tion is not included in the act. xi re bucks for beans says Broadwell Farmers who have stayed with beans this` yeak,will be rewarded since prices shout be. going up, Charlie Broadwell, general mane - pi of Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board, told approximately 20 farmers at the Seaforth Legion last Wednesday. Because of the low prices last year, farmers in both Ontario and the United States cut their production of beans. In Minnesota and S;outh.Dakota, production is down 45 per cent, in Michigan 35 per cent and in Ontario, 45 per cent. • Compared to the 9.1 million bags of beans produced last year, Ivfrf Broadwell says 7 million bags syr l be p o used this year from both Ontario and the U.S. Ontario's share of that total will be 850,000 bags. "I don't think there's any question that the price will go up substantially. Of course, that depends on how the beans are .fed into the market. If prices go up too fast, and too high the canner will react by cutting back on his inventory. And, that is something we have no control over," he says. Citing prices as 521.10 per bag in 1979, 528.50 in 1980 and 530.70 in 1981, Mr. Broadwell predicted that the price will fall somewhere in-between. Since he has just returned from a trade mission from Japan, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand trying to increase Ontario market share, he expressed concern that farmers may have.cut production too much. "I feel that we just don't have enough beans. I wish you hadn't cut back as much as you did."` A disastrous year of drought and floods in Australia has reduced that country's yield of beans from the usual 6,000 tons to 900 tons and left beans rotting in the fields. "They're going to be in the market for beans as a result," he says. Ontario beans may also be sold in New Zealand where canners are looking at growing their own beans but will have to overcome problems with climate. After visiting bean paste plants and setting up in-store promotions in grocery stores in Japan, Mr. Broadwell says there may be an opportunity to sell more Ontario beans if the Japanese begin to grade their beans instead of putting all different kinds into one can, The Charlie Broadwell marketing board recommended that the canners in Japan send for Canadian and British standards. "We think the potential for selling Ontario beans is good." Farmers looking for more payment on their 1982 bean crop will have a delivery 'deadline of Aug. 15 when Mr. Broadwell says the board will close the pool, audit the year and then make representation for stabilization for the year's crop. "Farmers may want to hold back their beans and take a chance on '83 prices, though," he said. onflict "There was no way 1 could raise a possible situation that cdused them'to'ehattge thei'k Opinion," said Mr. Oppen- hauser. His concern arises from the board's present policy of determining administration salaries which is based on an arbitrary amount over and above the secondary school principals. Mr. Oppenhauser pointed out that administra- tive representatives sit in on salary negotiating commit- tees. . "It might appear as though there is a conflict," said Mr. Oppenhauser. . The board approved limit- ed insurance coverage for trustees who, if charged with a conflict of interest, are found not guilty by a judge. Since the act allows charges to be laid up to six years after a conflict has taken place, the insurance will cover present and past trustees. The annual cost of the insurance is 5400.
