Aslced to comment on recent protesta and demonstrations by Durham Region public service .employees, George Ashe said mem- bers of OPSEU should be "more than pieased to have pretty good job security and salary limits." "Some of these people haven't realiy iooked to the reaiity of our econo- mic times,"' Ashe said. "They don't realize that there are hundreds of thousands of people who would love to have their, jobs, and hundreds of'- thousands of people who wvould be happy to have their salary of two years Commenting on OP- SEU's; dëaim ,that the restraint program is un- fair because it applies only to one sector of the economy (public ser- vants), Ashe said the Ontario government be- lives any aross the board legislation should be wrltten by the fed government. "As a governmeni would prefer to see federai gover'n participate in a nati program," Ashes He, added the On' goverument wouldi port a national restr program.

As a result of the break-down, the Educa- tion Relations Commit- tee has appointed iaw- yer Anne Barrett of Toronto as a Fact Find- er in the matter. Barrett's job will be to meet with the teachers and the trustees, and submit a report detail- ing pointa 0f agreement and-disagreement in the negotiations. "The problem (in negotiations) arose from the hesitancy of the board to seriously consider the limita of wage restraint," said Jack Houton, a member of the Economic Policy Committee of the Dur-, ham Elementary Teachers Association. When asked if tis meant that the board would not consider giv- ing the teachers a nine per cent pay raise, Hou- ton said, "true. " He Would not expand on staffing and benefit problems, nor would he comment on articles re- lating to working condi- tions that have already been resolved., Director of Education, Ken Monroe said it wil take two or three weeks for Barrett's report to be submitted.

Whitby's administra- tive committee has adopted a by-law which defines the boundaries 0f Port Whitby, and designates the specific, areas 'of Dufferin, and Front Streeta for rede- velopment. Improvements to the specific area Include drainage and road con- struction, and the establishment Of parkland along Front Street.. The' project will be funded with a $250,O00 grant from ONIP, and a, matcing $250,000 from the Town of Whitby'»,' S"Tins grant is not in- tended to cover a larger area than what we. ap- plied for," assistant planning director Paul Rycroft said, stressing that although boundar- ies for the entire port have been establisbhed, work will begin only -in the Dufferin and Front Street area. The boundaries for the entire port drawn up by the planning depart- ment are: the Canadian National rail line to the north, Port Whitby Har- bour, to the south, Pringie Creek and Whitby properties to the east, and Rowe and Byron Streets to the West. "Ail tins by-law does is designate the re- deveiopment area by municipal by-law," .Rycrof t said., Public Meetings to in- form' residents of Duf- ferin and Front Streets of the proposed rede- velopment will probably be held in late Novemn- ber and December be- cause the- town must adopt the redevelop- ment plan by January 31, Rycroft said.
