Times-Advocate, 1987-12-02, Page 21 Dashwood 237-3677 Hours Tu.s.Clo:std Monde 6s p.m Page 2 Times -Advocate, December 2, 1987 PUC hydro users face 5.8 percent rate increase Residential customers of the•Exet- er PUC will face a 5.8 percent in- crease in their 1988 electricity bills. Rates for commercial users will go up 5.9 percent as of January 1,1988. The newrates were set at the regu- lar November meeting of the PUC. The estimated revenue in the com- ing year, based on projected loads, is S2,520,246. Ontario Hydro's power bill for the same period is es- timated at $2,036,692. The rate in- crease has been calculated to give the PUC hydro department. a net profit of 4.1 percent. Davis brought up "a contentious issue" for consideration by the com- mission. A long-time good com- mercial customer whose status has changed from owner to tenant ques- Area men Two arca men were fined $500 each and had their driving licences supsended for three months in Exct- cr Provinvcial Court on November 24 by Judge R.G.E. Hunter. The suspensions arc actually for a full year as the Ministry of Trans- portation and Communications au- tomatically adds to the suspensions issued by the judge under the Crimi- nal Code. . Thc first fine and suspension was levied against Murray Pepper, RR 1, Hay. Pepper was stopped by police Oc- tober 31 on Huron road 21 in Ste- phen township. He displayed a .flushed face, glassy eyes and poor co-ordination.Breath samples were recorded at 220 and 210. Gerald John Groot, RR 1, Zurich received the second fine and suspen- sion for an incident which occurred June 20 in Hay township. There was a difference of opinion as to the reason for stopping thc ac- cused's vehicle. His lawyer thought it was a spot check, but the officer fined said it wasn't.After considerable evi- dence, Judge Hunter decided it was not a random stopping. Brcatlializer tests at the police sta- tion revealed blood alcohol readings of 187 and 174. Barry G. McCurdy, RR 6, St. Marys was lined S200 after pleading .guilty to a charge of creating a dis- turbance. The incident occurred on the Kee- gan's Inn parking lot at Centralia on October 31. It was initiated whcn two car doors accidentally bumped. After a fight broke out an innocent bystander was hit and knocked un- conscious. At that point police and an ambulance were called.. Judge Hunter fined Edward Wil- liam Coleman of Exeter Sl(H) on a possession of narcotics charge. The accused was in the hack seat of a car at 2.40 a.m, on September 27 at an overnight camp in Exeter when spotted by police. Coleman told the court one vial found in his possession' was empty and the other contained only S10 worth of hash oil. Gets jail sentence Thomas Cyr, 26, of Zurich was sentenced to 18 months in jail Wed- nesday, November 25 for assaulting his girlfriend after he pursued her in a high-speed car chase last May from Zurich to Grand Bcnd. Cyr pleaded guilty to assault caus- ing bodily harm to Nancy Smith. Defence lawyer Mike Donnelly not- -ed in his pre -sentence report that Smith and Cyr have since recon- ciled, and the woman believes .the assault was entirely out of character of Cyr. Judge J. M.'Seneshen recalled that Smith had to be taken by ambulance to hospital, where she was treated for cuts and bruises. Cyr also tried to pull her from her car while she was still held by a scat belt. He noted that Smith had left Zu- rich by car after the couple had been arguing. But "instead of leaving matters alone, you chased her, hit the car, came to a stop, and beat her viciously." Seneshen also chided Cyr for not only endangering himself and Smith but other drivers on the road at the time of the chase. Cyr will be allowed to serve his sentence under the temporary ab- sence program so he can continue a welding job in Exeter during the day.

Thc Exeter OPP wish to remind everyone that the RIDE program which operates an year round will be stepped up with increased spot checks during the Christmas holiday season. tioned the need for a surety deposit. Davis explained that owners of commercial buildings are not re- quired to provide any type of guar- antee that utility bills will be paid, as the amount of unpaid bills is add- ed to the taxes. Commercial ten- ants are required to do one of three things: make a deposit equal to three months of hydro use, provide a letter of credit from a bank, or have the building's owner sign on behalf of the tenant. Davis said that since he has been manager, the PUC policy has been applied equally to everyone - "the little fellow with the 20 by 40 store is treated the same as the big chain store". "We can't bend the rules for one person. We have to run the PUC on behalf of all the customers", was Commissioner Harry De Vries' comment in voting to leave the pol- icy unchanged. The other commis- sioners supported his stand. Work on the Huron St. transform- er is complete, Davis said, noting that the PUC is not responsible for asphalting the crossing. No Chills for Children No Chills For Children is the theme of Image Cleaners and the Exeter Lions Club's Christmas pro- ject for this year. Len Hume, Image Cleaners owner told the T -A the goal is to supply coats, boots and skates to children and adults at no charge. His firm has worked successfully with the Strathroy Lions Club and the Salvation army in previous years. Pauline Lingard, a spokesperson for Family and Childrcns Services of Huron County says the items will be put to good use. "If anyone has a coat that still has some good wear left in it we will clean and package them at our Exct- cr plant and give them to the Lions Club for distribution," Hume added. Coats can be dropped off at any Image Cleaners outlet. With Christmas falling on a Fri- day this year, Davis would like the office reopened for business on the following Monday. Commission- ers agreed with his suggestion that half the staff come in to work on Monday, and take their holiday as equivalent time off the previous Thursday. Staff members will de- cide among themselves who takes which day off. The records show that the PUC gained a total of 34 new hydro cus- tomers in 1987. Turning to the water department, the commission voted unanimously to increase the 5325 charge for a 3/4 inch service from the water main to the lot line by 10 percent effective January 1988. Murray Greene was acclaimed to another year as PUC chairman.
