& L Workers af Flamin P2RT { PERRY Volume 108 -- PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, Wednesday, July 17th, 1974 -- No. 38 After several meetings and much negotiation be- tween Union representatives and the management of Flamingo Pastries Ltd. the workers have gone on strike. Even a conciliation officer appointed by the Ministry of Labour was unable to make the two parties come to a decisive agreement. According to an adver- _tisement inserted by Flam- ingo Pastries Ltd. and ap- pearing elsewhere in this issue of the Star the main reason for the break- down of negotiations was a clause concerning the Union representative's access to the company premises. Workers at the company joinedl the Union about 2!. years ago.

Council had rejected the scheme on two earlier occa- sions and stated they would not like any representation on it. Wednesday afternoon Mayor Rickard attempted to introduce a motion seeking representation in TATOA as well as appointing the Re- gional Chairman to the board of directors. Coun. Newman was im- mediately on his feet to demand of the Chairman 'U'nder what circumstances are you accepting this mo- tion when we have already rejected it twice?' 'I'm accepting it now be- cause TATOA is an act, previously it was a concept' replied Chairman Walter Beath. Coun. Newman slammed his agenda shut, excused himself and withdrew to one side of the chamber from where he later moved to the visitors gallery following a question from Mayor Potti- cary 'Is Mr. Newman still with us?' The Chairman subsequent Iv sought Council's backing for his decision to introduce the motion and got it. The motion was however challenged again on the ground that no notice of it was given, and thus needed a 3-4th before it could be discussed. Mayor Rickard then with- drew the motion and presen- ted it as a notice of motion rather than risk an adverse vote on its introduction. Earlier Mayor Rickard and Mayor Potticary succes- sfully piloted a motion urg- ing that Durham Region make a strong appeal to the Province to extend the GO train service to Newcastle. Council approved the mo- tion despite stiff critisism from serveral members. 'We have no housing in Newcastle to accomodate our own people' said Coun. Ken Lyall, 'the GO train will add an influx we won't be able to handle'. Coun. Lyall is from New- castle as is Mayor Rickard. 'This is progress. this is transportation' said Mayor Potticary 'the people of Oshawa and Newcastle want the GO train.' Mayor Rickard said traffic congestion had increased on the regional highways in Newcastle as well as the 401 and it was necessary to have the GO train to cater to increased transportation de- mands. Later, after Council had adjourned for the day. Coun. Ken Lyall told reporters '1 see this whole exercise with regards to TATOA as being a pressure play by council members of the Big Blue Machine to breathe life into a dead dog. Council has dis- cussed this twice already- how many more times must it be defeated before it is accepted by the people?' taxes In Scugog by Ashok Chandwani Residential taxes in the four wards of Scugog Township will go up 2 to 7 percent this year. After weeks of discussion and figure-work Council . finally approved a budget Monday which Mayo Malcolm later described as "reasonable.'" Reach faces the highest increase of 7 percent mainly because of a rise in the mill rate for schools. Port Perry is midway with an increase of 4 percerit while Scugog Island and Cartwright each have the lowest increase of only 2 percent. In terms of the mill rate this year's residential mill rate in Port Perry will be 105.20 (101.00 last year), Reach: 105.05 (97.0 last year), Scugog: 91.85 (89.7 last year) and Cartwright: 153.81 (140 last year). Cartwright's increase includes an increase of 10.36 for garbage, fire and streetlighting. Unlike other munici- ipalities in the Region, Scu- gog will not feel the impact of regional government un- duly, thanks to some com- plicated figurework done by Bill Tumasz a financial ex- pert in the Provincial Dept. of the Treasury and Econ- omics, who was present at Monday's meeting. The transitional mill rate which has to be adjusted over a five year period at 20 percent reduction each year was reduced by one third on its base figure before work- ing out the 20 percent decrease over 5 years, the net effect being to spread a lower amount over a greater period. But for this adjustment, the mill rate would have been higher by several mills in all four wards. The effect of the bud- get and increase in taxes on an average public resident- ial unit in each ward will be as follows. Port Perry: Taxes in Mill rates: 105.20 which means $338.95 a 4.20 mill rate or $13.53 increase. Reach: Taxes in mill rates: 105.05 or $484.18, an increase of 7.40 mills or $34.11. Interestingly the municipal mill rate for Reach is actually 1.02 less than last year but the school mill rate has jumped 8.42 mills.

With the Region taking over the responsibility for solid waste disposal and fixing charges for dumping garbage on its landfill sites, Council finds itself sorting out the financial implica- tions. - Who should pay the charges for garbage dump- ing - the contractors or Council? And what should be the system of payment? Council pondered over these questions Monday and finally decided that they would ask the region to invoice the contractors for the garbage dumped at re- gional sites. The contractors will then be asked to present to the township invoices they re- ceived. The township will reimburse the contractors for all invoices arising out of disposing only the township's garbage.
