Babiak. his sixth year on council, said both Brandsgard and Noz have a keen interest in Education and volunteered for the contract negotiating committee.

He suggested teachers received more than their demands although negotiations were fair. Both Noz and Brandsgard denied they favored teachers in the negotiations. The administration and council may have been divided on issues, but the divergence is an asset not a liability, Brandsgard said. She rejected Spences claim that councillors have been directed by outsiders. Noz also said defferences of opinion should be viewed as a strength and not a weakness.

As for decisions being made outside of council, he said even if they are, council must still approve them before they become effective. Council, he said, has taken on more responsibility for education, reducing the manager role. Councillor Betty-Ann Brand-sgard said Seaman was caught in a squeeze between teachers wanting more and short-falls in taxes. In one instance, she said teachers were angry at Seaman for not ordering textbooks as requested, the money being spent on another education priority. Teachers have been vocal in requests for improvements in education and councillors have to rely on educators decisions because they have the knowledge, Klassen said.

However, teachers in Uranium City are not empire builders, he said. Councillor Ed Noz rejected the claim anyone on council was a front-man for teachers in the community. The only councillor who agreed with Spence about outside Church claimed vital to identity which must not be forgotten, Doleshney said. The plight of the mother church in the Ukraine and the oppression of Ukrainian people should be kept before the publics eye. The conference is held every two years, Most Rev.

The three day event ended Sunday with a number of ecclesiastical and government officials attending. By Bryan Getchell of the Star-Phoenix URANIUM CITY Educa-" tional management may be the stiffest challenge facing a new town manager stepping into a position vacated less than a month ago by Bill Seaman. Seamans resignation is the latest which has stripped the T- town of all but one of its senior administrators. The first resignation came in I April when public work superin-; tendent Grant Zachow left after lOyears, five as superintendent, enter private business. in June, Bob Calwell, -secretary-treasurer for xk years left citing personal jeasons and a desire to leave the Town where he has lived for the last eight years.

About a week later, at a counted meeting, Seaman suddenly his resignation. Later he put it in writing. How-ever, Seaman did not give any reasons for the move and in an earlier interview declined to comment. Zachow has been re- placed and the search is now on to fill the other positions. Mayor Dana Spence said the towns six councillors are di-vided on the cause of Seaman's resignation.

4 Spence has said he believes Seamans frustrate at losing I control of education to educators in town is one reason for the resignation. Under the county system of government, the town is re-; sponsible for education and sits as a school board. Spence said a frustrating trend for him and Seaman, in-' volves councillors discussing matters and making decisions outside council and then having them ratified in chambers. He maintained while council- tors have a responsibility to lis-ten to electorates suggestions, certain councillors were being "directed by outsiders. While he has no real proof, Spence said he believes there was a tendency for council to side with the public against the former officials rather than stick-up for them.

He said that has been a contributing factor in all resigna-i tions. Insecurity among educators in the town was pinpointed last fall by consultants investigating the administration workload. Four underlying causes of criticism of the administration were found. The study states a sense of insecurity was gener ated by reduction of the towns growth projection from a high to moderate level. Insecurity has been generated by not knowing how the corporation should relate to the department of Northern Saskatchewan (DNS) littlecouncil debate reaching the public; and, finally, we found a sense of insecurity among the school teachers which we were told had a number of different causes, some of which we think are picayune, some real and some requiring your attention," the study states.

Retiring high school principal Dennis Klassen said that in the past when the town was struggling through tough financial times, Seaman had responsibility and decision making powers in education and other areas. However, this role in decision making had been reduced.

In addition, more effort should be directed at encouraging more young people to join church organizations as a means of supporting Ukrainian Catholic culture, St. Catharines.

lawyer Ben Doleshney said. He was the keynote speaker of the Ukrainian Catholic Council conference held during the weekend. Doleshney told more than 100 participants pioneers settling Western Canada made large sacrifices to ensure their children should be educated. Today, he said, there appears to be a lack ofyoung people willing to carry on religious traditions and prepared to assist the local priest in church affairs. He challenged parents to find new ways of instilling an appreciation of culture and religious observance into young people.

He also called for individuals to assess their support of church organizations. In an interview, Doleshney said professionals, like doctors, lawyers, nurses and others, could be assisting parish priests with constituent counselling to help repay some of the sacrifices of the older generation. This help is going to be needed, since younger parish priests are no longer interested in working 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The revitalizing emphasis is needed today, because, he said, he saw the assimilation of the church and Ukrainian culture if it did not take place. Organizations in Eastern Canada will be taking lessons from counter-parts who have begun this revitalization.
