State police said the boy drowned Monday, March 17, in the Little Salmon River in the Town of Moira. A diver of the Moira Rescue Squad found the bodvinsix to eight feet of water about 450 yards downstream from where he fell Monday into the Little Salmon River. Diver Charles D. Lawrence found the body at about 4:30 p.m. yesterday, according to state police in Malone. Police said the boy and a companion, at about 3:30 p.m. Monday, had followed a dog onto a section of the ice- covered river located about 100 yards north of the Moira town line and about one mile east of Route 95, town of Bombay. The Clement boy, along with his playmate, walked until the ice ended and then fell into an open-water area, police reported. The playmate did not fall into the water. Volunteer divers from Moira and St. Lawrence County, in conjunction with a state police diving team, conducted the search for the boy's body. Born in Malone Dec. 10, 1981, he was the son of Kelvin and Marilyn Mayville Clement. Besides his parents of Moira, surviving are a broth- cemeterv - er, Kevin, 10; twin sisters, Maryjane and Marybeth, 8; his maternal grandparents, Lester and Beatrice Mayville of Brushton; his paternal grandparents, Lawrence and Claire Clement of Gouver- neur; By Pat Musante Approximately 30 people, *T / f SCS bus ithered at the SRCS board leeting last Monday night to iscuss a problem which had risen in the district this week. directed that the persons involved should discuss the issue with their supervisors.

He said he told them that he would get back to them on Monday, however, on Monday, many of the \subs\ were on sick leave. The open session began when Leland (Butch) Lamay spoke on behalf of the substi- tute bus drivers. Trustee Kerwin posed that this was an internal administrative prob- lem and that proper procedure added that he did not feel they were dealing with specific per- sonnel but a group of people. The majority of the board agreed with Mr. Ingiee. Mr. Lamay stated that the substitute bus drivers were asking for some type of job security. He suggested a $6.00 an hour rate since he felt they do the same work as the regular drivers and requested that their two hour minimum gua- rantee pay be returned. Crystal Tarbell noted that the subs fnake $5.50 per hour. If they are paid only tach time, which is 40 minutes in some cases, their pay would not be worth their expenses which includes gas and sometimes a babysitter. In addition, commented Carol St. Anne, substitute drivers have to leave the bus in the condition in which they R>und it, which involves clean- ing and other duties. Under the tach time procedure, they would not be paid for that labor. Shirley Treptow and several others present expressed con- cern for safety. The district, they maintained, would have a difficult time attracting relia- ble and decent substitutes if they were paying such low wages. Mr. Langelier stated that in reviewing financial informa- tion he noted some outlandish payroll claims. There were in cases, more hours claimed than could be possible. In addition, he said he could find no agreement which allowed the distict to pay for more than the time worked. He said he met with Mr. LaPage to attempt to revise the payroll procedure. \Neither one of us is authorized to pay for time not worked,\ he added. Mr.Lamay stated that he wanted to quell rumors that the drivers were going on strike. Charges and counter- charges were alleged as to whether some of the subs pur- posely went on sick leave. Chief School Officer Lewis stated, later in the meeting, that the district has to provide an insturctional program and that students have to be trans- ported. Last week, with so many subs on sick leave, he felt the school day had been inte- rn p ted. This situation made it necessary for him to investi- gate contracting out runs. Trustee Lauzon stated that she felt the issue arose over a communication problem. \I think these people had some- thing imposed upon them; the manner in which it was done was not right.\ The board consented to consider the request proposed by John Jock to rescind the two hour minimal guarantee abolishment until further negotiations and some type of agreement could be made. After discussions in execu- tive session the board approved this course of action 7-1 with Donald Kerwin in opposition.
