TERRACE — A weekend ses-
sion between the negotiating
committees of School District 88
and the Terrace District Teach-
ers Association brought agree-

ment on all procedural matters

except one, but the remaining
obstacle appears to be a big one.

The discussions centered
around the manner in which
bargaining will proceed. After
10 hours of talks Friday evening
and Saturday morning and af-
ternoon, the two sides reached
consensus on everything but the
“sign-off” provision. It works
like this: the committees will
negotiate each other’s proposals

Wednesday June 8, 1988 ; - hit

but still stuck on protocol —

on a clause-by-clause basis. As’

agreement is reached on each
clause, the TDTA wants that
clause to be ‘‘signed off” to pre-
vent agreed-upon issues from
being re-opened to negotiation
at a later date unless both sides
agree to re-open it. The board’s
committee say they can’t do
that; Secretary-Treasurer Barry
Piersdorff said as an example

that the board would have to re- -

tain the right to re-open discus-
sion in the event of changes in
legislation by the Ministry of
Education.

It appears to come down to a
matter of trust, with the board

-Salmonid Enhancement
Society elects board

A well-attended Terrace
Salmonid and Enhancement So-
ciety annual general mecting
started off in the wrong direc-
tion last Wednesday, but every-
thing was sorted out and a new
Board of Directors was install-
ed. New directors Steve Nick-
olls, Jim Culp and Emie Webb
will join incumbent president
Doug Webb, and continuing
members Tom Protheroe, Her-
‘man Bushman and Robert

~ Brown in carrying on the socie-
ty’s operations.

Society member Grant Hazel-

wood said about 30 people turn:
ed out for the meeting, wanting
‘to tackle issues like the new
chinook tagging system, Sal-
monid Enhancement funding
and the incidental catch of the
commercial fishery. But after a
discussion on these topics it had
to be explained that they were
topics outside of the society’s
mandate.
~- Once back on track, the socie-
ty reviewed its work on several
- small spawning rivers in the area
and discussed the Kalum Pro-
ject. Hazelwood said that the
Kalum Project was -contracted
with the federal government

Canada/U.S. Salmon Treaty.
He said it involves counting and
tagging chinook salmon in the
Kalum River system for two
spawning cycles. It should pro-
vide the society with a source of
income until 1998.

Hazelwood said the primary
objective of the society is to
enhance small river systems in
the Terrace area in order to en-
sure a continued supply of fish.
He said that if any particular
chinook run appears to -be in
trouble, they take eggs from

to incubate the eggs.

committee saying it ‘appreciates
the significant impact that a
unilateral reopening of an item

‘would have on the negotiations

... this move ‘would only be
undertaken if absolutely neces-
sary.”’ The TDTA committee
states, however that there has to
be ‘‘some agreed orderly process
for negotiations that would pre-
vent ‘clause-hopping’ through
what is expected to be a couple
hundred pages of text’’. They
add that the signing-off commit-
ment is necessary so there is ‘‘no
unilateral withdrawal if their
(the board’s) negotiator (Mary
Saunders) changed her. mind
about a clause later in negotia-
tions.”

The board committee says
their position on the issue “‘is the
framework for many negotia-
tions taking place with teachers
elsewhere in the province’; the
TDTA says the board’s position
is “‘not accepted practice”’ ac-
cording to their sources in labor
negotiations.

Helmut Giesbrecht, president
of the TDTA, said in a written
statement that the Saturday
discussion adjourned after an
exchange of proposals regarding
a media black-out which result-
ed in a consensus to keep the
public informed as the talks pro-
gress.

The next meeting is scheduled
to take place Friday. Both sides
agreed that before the next meet-
ing they’ll exchange written
copies of the procedural matters
on which they both agree.

INCOME REQUIREMENT

Canada's National Housing Act mortgages have a finan-
cial conselence written into their conditions. Canada Mor-
tgage and Housing Corporation, which administers the Act,
does not want a borrower to get into a financial bind that
would put him or her over their head. So, CMHC requires
that a 32% gross debt ratio (42% for duplexes) should not
be exceeded in order to qualify for an NHA loan.

This ratio is based on mortgage loan principal and in-
terest, on taxes and heating costs and, if applicable, 50%
of condominium fees. In establishing gross income, 100%
of a wife's income MAY be added to that of the husband.

These figures apply to equal payment mortgages on
singles and duplexes. There are many advantages to hav-
ing an NHA loan. If you qualify for it, it is worth looking into.
