GM benefits clarified Laid-off workers at General Motors transmission plant would get less In unemployment benefits than suggested in Thursdays Windsor Star. A typical assembler on layoff, who would normally have a gross salary of $808 and take-home pay of $575 per week, will net $413 a $162 reduction, says Bill Reeves, benefits representative for CAW Local 1973.

Changes in unemployment insurance benefits that took effect April 4 result in $28 less per week for claims filed after that date.

TORONTO Mr. Justice Walter Tarnopolsky, a former dean of the University of Windsor law school and a noted human-rights advocate died at his home in Toronto on Wednesday. He was 61.

A member of the Ontario Court of Appeal from 1983, he had headed Windsors law school from 1968 to 1972. But human rights law was always his specialty and he wrote and edited texts on the subject through nearly a quarter-century. When the first proposals for the Canadas Charter of Rights and Freedoms came out in 1980, Mr. Tarnopolsky actively proposed stronger amendments prompting then-justice minister Jean Chretien to describe his achievements as inspiring. In a 1982 collection of commentaries on the Charter, Mr.

Tarnopolsky offered a definitive opinion that affirmative action programs for women would be found valid despite any challenges by men on the grounds of denial of sex equality. WINDSORS MR. JUSTICE Thomas Zuber was a friend and colleague of Tarnopolsky, having known him in association with the law school and later on the court bench. He described Mr. Tarnopolsky as "very generous" and willing to travel anywhere in the world, from the Northwest Territories to Africa, to assist in the development of human rights.

He was always giving of himself and his energy prompted his friends to warn Mr. Tarnopolsky, Walter, youll wear yourself out." Zuber noted that Tarnopolsky has been in Africa just before his death. The former dean is also recalled for his compassion. Zuber said law students who failed were called to Mr. Tarnopolsky's office and given sympathy and consolation.

Elsewhere they likely would be told to beat if and faced a cold trip to the railway station. MR. TARNOPOLSKY CAME to Windsor when Mark MacGulgan, the first law dean, was elected to Parliament The newcomer was totally focused on the job ahead of him and "really gave the law school its shape and Zuber said. Kathleen Mahoney, a University of Calgary law professor, said Mr. Tarnopolsky was kind of a father of human rights in Canada, and was often called upon to explain the development of human rights to students and conferences.

Born in Gronlid, of a farming family, he entered university there at age 16 and got a law degree in 1957. Further graduate degrees were earned from Columbia University and the London School of Economics. His academic career included stints at law schools in Saskatchewan, Toronto and Ottawa as well as Windsor. Family spokesman Richard Rempel said Mr. Tarnopolsky had developed diabetes in the 1970s and required heart bypass surgery about 1988.

He had returned from South Africa on Monday where he was lecturing on human rights, and fell ill the day before his death. Divorced in the early 1970s, Mr. Tarnopolsky married Dr. Joanne Kramer in 1973 and leaves five children from the two marriages. Anti-Rae backlash taking its toll Wanted Continued from A1 Canada Employment does for other large employers: collecting applications and making a preliminary selection of suitable candidates.

The employer the casino operator is expected to make the final selection itself. Churley was also expected to comment on the province's negotiations with the Art Gallery of Windsor, which has been chosen as the site of the temporary casino. THE TWO SIDES have said for weeks they are close to signing a deal that would evacuate all art from the gallery for up to three years, while the permanent casino is under construction. The gallery wants a minimum of $4 million for the use of its building, plus structural improvements. Even without a signed deal in hand, the gallery and province are moving ahead with their plans to renovate the Riverside Drive West building: Contractor and developer A1 Fa-nelli has begun advertising for subcontractors for the gallery renovation job; the gallery board has applied to the city for site plan control approval.

According to documents filed with the city on Sept. 3 and made public this week, the gallery intends to build a three-storey building at the southeast corner of the gallery, adding 7,200 square feet of space. THE SITE PLAN shows a new circular drive on what is now the front lawn of the gallery, with large entrance canopies on the north and south sides of the building. In the plans, the city-owned site for an arena and multi-use facility located just south of the Art Gallery is labelled casino parking." The site remains the subject of a legal battle between developer Bill Docherty, who had a deal to lease the site, and the city. Continued from A1 The Ontario government this summer imposed a payroll-slashing social contract on the provinces 950,000 public employees, many of whom had been stalwart backers of the NDP.

Now, their disillusionment with Rae is extending to the federal level. Theres definitely been a pull-back from political activity, says Liz Barkley, head of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers Federation and a long-time NDP activist. Our people seem quite demoralized, she said. I see an awful lot of them not working for the NDP at all. Teenie Gibson, 44, has worked for the party in every election federal, provincial and municipal since reaching voting age 23 years ago.

BUT THIS YEAR, Im not going to work," says the Ontario government employee. Im not going to put a sign up. Ive already cancelled my party membership, and Ive stopped sending in money. Gibson says she was disappointed by Raes many policy reversals since he won election in 1990, but the social contract was the last straw. "Most of the people I hang around with are social democrats," she says.

We were talking the other day about how excited and ecstatic we all Anonymous Continued from A1 I wish they wouldnt show the blood in the road. I wish they wouldn't show the body covered with a blanket can you imagine how the family of a victim feels seeing that on TV?" she asks. Such thoughts are freshly stirred; last week, news outlets around the world showed the blanket-shrouded body of Uwe-Wilhelm Rakebrand, lying on the road beside the drivers door of his battered rental car. cent meeting of the Canadian Labor Congress executive council where considerable help was promised. "There was no hesitation in that room, Davis said.

The leadership sees this election as very important." But the level of commitment among the rank-and-file is another matter. Hurt by plunging membership and donor indifference, the Ontario party recently approved layoffs, an end to polling and other money-saving cuts after a projected $600,000 shortfall for this year. Membership in this province has dropped to about 22,000 from 26,000. NDP SUPPORTER Gary Shaul says he plans to volunteer some time to work as a telephone canvasser for Winnie Ng, the partys candidate in Trinity-Spadina. But thats only for the sake of the local candidate and because he had promised to help eight months said, You can count on me, Shaul notes.

Later, I had serious reservations about whether or not it was appropriate to associate with the NDP." Despite those reservations, he decided to participate, but adds his mood is far different than in the past. Raes record has made me more cynical about electoral politics, generally, Shaul says. Its hard to trust any politician. Florida murder victims body in the road. And thats one of the main problems we have here it doesn't bother people, he says.

What does bother people, he adds, is the feeling that not all victims are equal. It's all dollars and cents, Halper says. It affects the tourist industry. Its the same when a cop gets killed they seem to catch the murderer right away. But when it comes to a civilian, they say We'll take care of it next week, he says.

were when Rae got elected. A lot has changed. People are looking for good Liberal candidates. SID RYAN, Ontario head of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, said that instead of donating money and workers straight to the federal NDP, CUPE is having its provincial leadership select a few candidates for direct support. Money in Ontario is going only to those who have openly criticized Raes cuts and who have a chance of winning, Ryan said, adding about five or six candidates are being backed.

Prominent among them is Essex-Wind-sor MP Steven Langdon, who lost is job as NDP finance critic after speaking out against Rae. CUPE has so far agreed to spend $120,000 nationwide in support of the party, mostly in the form of salaries for people working full-time on the campaign, Ryan said. About $50,000 of that has been allocated for Ontario. IVE HAD A flood of calls in the last week from candidates looking for support," Ryan said. Theyre people we have to take a look at to see what backing we can give them, if any.

Julie Davis, federal NDP campaign co-director, said union leaders clearly support federal leader Audrey McLaughlin and she described a re- and dead in Saul Halper was grief-stricken after robbers cut the throat of his 28-year-old son, Billy, in 1986. Late at night, the father would cover his mouth with a pillow and scream himself hoarse. "I still relive it every night," he says. Now, he's chairman of a Broward County group, called Parents of Murdered Children. He campaigns for the death penalty, tougher sentences and better treatment of victims families.

He isnt shocked by the sight of a Inflation rate creeping up OTTAWA (CP) The annual inflation rate was 1.7 per cent in August, up from 1.6 per cent in July, Statistics Canada said today. Preliminary figures were released Monday also setting the August inflation rate at 1.7 percent. Economists said the low inflation rate was the result of weak commodity prices, small wage settlements and cautious consumers. "I would expect that its probably going to remain in this range for the remainder of the year, said John Clinkard, an economist at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Dogs gunned down Continued from A1 When he didnt arrive, he (officer) became concerned about the safety of the dog because they were getting at the wire and for the safety of the homeowner, the chief said.

Rosati then went home, returned with his own shotgun, and killed the dogs. Mansell said he had no difficulty" with Rosati using his own weapon because he had doubts his police issue firearm would be adequate. The chief said the police cruiser used by Rosati is a new vehicle and is not yet equipped to carry police issue shotguns. However, the chief said he would further investigate the shooting. MARILYN FRASER, the general manager of the Essex County Humane Society, said the Livestock and Poultry Act allows stray dogs to be shot if they are bothering livestock.

But Paquette said the dogs could simply have been chased off. They were seen earlier at a nearby home where the owner just shooed them away and they ran. Paquette, who said Anderdon police knew his dogs, is also upset that no one called him. He said he was less than a mile from the scene and has a 24-hour answering service, yet was never contacted. While the police chief agreed Paquettes dogs were known to some officers, he said Rosati did not know who owned them.

Paquette, who said neither dog had shown signs they would harm anyone, suggested he could provide a letter from his vet attesting to their gentle disposition. They werent dangerous, he said. Sheena would fall all over anyone, she was just a big baby. Now they wont be coming back. How do I tell that to my son and my daughter?" Matthew, 4, and Breanne, 2, often rode on Sheenas back with neighboring friends.

They were not dangerous," Paquette stressed. He hopes to replace the dogs if he can raise the money. Paquette said he is considering court action. Housing service Continued from A3 1989 it has helped nearly 1,000 clients including entire families find and keep affordable places to live. It takes referrals from local agencies that come in contact with clients who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.

Clemens said half of AHSs referrals came from the citys department of social services. Four local non-profit agencies Drouillard Place, Hiatus House, Legal Assistance of Windsor and the Canadian Mental Health Association started the service in July 1989 when they realized there was no housing service for their clients. BECAUSE OF THE nature of the clientele, the service had to be more than a housing registry, said Clemens, executive director of Drouillard Place, a community centre with a food bank and other services for needy people. But Comartin said to call the labor groups program a registry" is "a bit of a misnomer. Since the nature of the service is to help people with difficulty maintaining housing, part of the work it will have to do is delve into underlying problems such as substance abuse, Comartin said.

Minivan workers Continued from A3 opportunity to bid for the new minivan plant jobs, based on their seniority. Since the van plant operates only five days a week, some Pillette workers might relish the chance to move to the minivan plant, where they can make overtime for Saturdays, said Bauer. The new workers hired would backfill into the Pillette Road jobs that are vacated. Another significant change that comes with the new Chrysler contract is the use of part-time workers on weekends to spell off minivan workers who want to take a Saturday off. Currently, there are about 250 students who work shifts Friday, Saturday and Monday at the minivan plant.

Now, Pillette Road workers who want some extra cash can fill in at the minivan plant on Saturdays. The students wont lose their jobs, but they may lose some Saturday hours, said Bauer. The change will create a bigger bank of replacements, so more minivan workers can book weekends off. The CAW, reluctant to mention the word concession," admits to one adjustment, in the new contract. Currently, new hires start at 85 per cent of the regular rate.

The rate increases to 90 per cent after six months and 95 per cent after 12 months. The full rate is reached after 18 months. NEW HIRES WILL still start at 85 per cent and hit the full rate in 18 months. But now, workers will wait nine months, then go up to 92.5 per cent The rate will jump to 100 per cent after nine months. The company had been demanding new hires start at 60 per cent of the regular rate, graduating to 100 per cent in six years, Bauer said.

"We rejected that." As for classifications, Bauer said, the union agreed to only one reduction the amalgamating of four welder classifications into two, with workers getting paid the higher category rates. WORKERS ON THE third shift will be paid a 10 per cent midnight shift premium, with afternoon workers getting five per cent. The shifts will be 73 hours long, with workers paid for eight hours. And a new crew of 150 tradespeople will be created on the weekend. Workers will work 32 hours during three days and be paid for 50 hours.

Bauer said that between 50 and 100 new tradespeople will be hired as a result of the coming of the third shift. In 1995, the plant will undergo a $600-million revamp for production of a new generation of minivan called the NS. With all the new technology will come an expected reduction in the total workforce of between 200 and 300, Bauer said. However, he added, that drop will be offset by hundreds of older workers wholl be leaving the plant for retirement. One of the major gains in this year's contract is huge pension improvements.

For example, the 30-and-out pension has gone from $1,875 monthly to $2,100, and will rise to $2,500 in five years. ABOUT 2,000 AREA Chrysler workers will reach the 30-year seniority mark In the next three years. And with Improvements to pensions which are completely funded by the company Bauer said he expects many hundreds of older workers to exit. Any lob loss suffered because of the new NS technology are not expected to result In layoffs, he said. No ones going to be going on the street," Bauer said.

Other survivors think too little attention is paid to the violence that has claimed their loved ones. Drivers Continued from AS including a new one at Parent Avenue and Ellis Street, Tofflemire said. The traffic engineering department offers an educational pamphlet to the public but cant afford more effective public service announcements, he said. Tofflemires assistant, Michael Palanacki, said the brochure was to appear in a Parks and Recreation magazine advertising local events, but we missed the deadline for the fall mailing. Copies of the magazine are mailed to Windsor homes twice a year.

The pamphlet explains the Highway Traffic Act pertaining to crosswalks and emphasizes that motorists must not pass cars that slow down at a crosswalk. Drivers should reduce speed and watch for pedestrians if the amber lights are flashing, and must stop if anyone wants to cross. PEDESTRIANS ARE cautioned to check both ways on each half of the street to ensure no cars are approaching. They are also reminded to stay on the curb if a car is closer than the white road Xs. Pat Hayes, a driver examiner for the Ministry of Transportation, said flashing-light crosswalks arent part of the road test for new drivers licensed through her office.

"But crosswalks are discussed in the drivers manual, and on the written test," she said from the Dougall Road examination centre. Hayes suggested greater police enforcement would improve the situation most. Children are educated about the crosswalks through police-sponsored school safety programs, but informing the public is a task requiring funds that don't exist, according to Windsorpolice Staff Sgt Lloyd Grahame said. Of course, the fine for failing to yield at a pedestrian crosswalk Is $90 (plus two licence demerit points), he said. And more drivers may learn about crosswalks the expensive way if officers are stationed to ensure drivers acknowledge the flashing amber lights, he said.
