"We know the impact this in- crease will have on our customers and we've tried to be sensitive about that," said Eliesen. "We have taken the necessary steps to keep the system reliable and to ensure that Hydro is financially sound, be- cause that meets the needs of our customers, both at home and at work. "Our electricity system is aging, and parts of it need to be replaced or refurbished. Reliability of the electricity system is very important to Ontario's economy. We are mak- ing the investments that are needed sets 1.992rage to make sure we have electricity when we need it." More than half the increase is caused by the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station coming into ser- vice and other nuclear costs. "Darlington will cost us about $13.5 billion. As it starts to produce electricity, we have to start paying for it through our customers' rates. Darlington will represent about 30 percent of Ontario Hydro's assets, so paying for it will naturally raise Hydro rates substantially as the units come into service." Other nuclear costs include those of reactor retubing at the older Pickering "A" station. Also, the be- low forecast performance of Hy- dro's existing nuclear stations has increased Hydro's overall costs sig - Clinton's Rona McLeod had lovely flower arrangements to show and sell at the Exeter Legion's craft sale Sunday after- 4tsda:3 srd: ;,; A well prepared resume will help you get the job you are looking for! A resume detailing an applicant's work history and education is extremely helpful to an emploYer who is seeking a person for a specific job vacancy. Your personal resurrt8 should accompany your written letter of application. -- Here are some guidelines to follow In preparing your resume: • Make it clear, concise and easy to read - and no longer than two pages. • The resume should be typed on 8 1/2" by 11" white paper with enough white space to prevent a cluttered look. • Start with your name, address and phone number. • Next under a sub -heading "Work History" detail the previous jobs you've held - in reverse date order - that is, last job first. • Use a separate paragraph for each position and precede it with the dates you held that position. • State the job title, a brief description of the responsibilities - and the results you achieved. • The next section of your resume should come under the sub- heading of "Education". Start with the highest degree obtained or grade completed, followed by the name of the institution at which you studied. Follow this with previous education a;taln -4nents. At the end, list any specNic instnictional courses you have attended in conjunction with your work. • Under the sub -heading "Affiliations", list memberships and/or offices held in professional or industry associations. • Under the sub -heading "Personal interests", list any activities which you feel will be of interest to the employer - such as vol- unteer work, etc. Your letter of application and your resume will be the factors that make the employer decide whether to short list you for an interview. So make it as impressive as you can - but stick to the facts. We can help you get an impressive and professional -looking resume Call Debbie Lord at nificandy. The plants were de- signed to operate at an average 80 percent capacity, but last year oper- ated at only 63 percent. The rate increase will reduce Hy- dro's need to borrow or draw down its reserves. "We know that our customers don't want us to keep borrowing in- definitely against future revenues to keep rate increases down. Hydro has dipped into its reserve two years in a row already and it is im- portant to get out of this practice as quickly as we can. At the same time, in the current economic cli- mate we can't ask our customers to shoulder a rate increase which would avoid withdrawing from the reserve. "Our plans are to achieve more moderate rate increases in about two years without having to tap our Elsea reserve." said. The 11.8 percent bike is an aver- age increase. Specific increases to municipal utilities, large direct in- dustrial customers and rural cus- tomers will be determined next month. Actual increases vary depending on consumption patterns, transmis- sion delivery costs and other fac- tors. The increase would raise the av- erage monthly bill for 1,000 kilo- watt-hours to about $78. For cus- tomers of municipal utilities, the increase could be higher or lower depending on the revenue require- ment of the municipal utility, Letters to Editor Cost of bilingualism October 15, 1991 The Editor Times Advocate Exeter The Alliance for the Preserva- tion of English in Canada (APEC) complains about the high cost of official bilingualism -- one cent of every four dollars of federal taxes! But behind that phoney mask of respectability is the evil of APEC - - fomenting fear and loathing and hatred by some Canadians towards other Canadians. APEC has vigorously urged towns to pass "English only" laws. In March 1990, two months after Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay passed their "English Only" laws, it was frog bashing time in the town to which I moved from To- ronto in July 1988, Seaforth, that beacon of enlightenment, toler- ance and understanding in the darkness of Huron county, when a majority (6 - 3) of the Seaforth town council eagerly jumped into bed with the racist bigots of APEC. A few weeks after Seaforth became "English Only" a long-time resident said to me: "If you wanted to live in a town that's full of ig- norance, stupidity, intolerance and bigotry, you came to the right place. Seaforth is the sort of small town they write novels and make movies' about." APEC has used two books, "Bi- lingual Today, French Tomorrow" and "Enough", to recruit new mem- bers, people who are paranoid, gulli- ble, incredibly stupid, racist and bigoted. In111) these books filled with half-truths, lies and innuendoes, you can read that the Jews are caus- ing dissension in Quebec and else- where in the world; compared to Pelletier, Laurin and Trudeau, Adolf Hitler was a nice guy; French-Canadians are only good for getting drunk and breeding like rabbits; in over 300 year nothing of value has ever come out of Quebec; Pierre Trudeau built detention camps across Canada in which to lock up English Canadians who re- volt when French Canadians take over the whole country. And so on ad nauseum. These books, truly disgusting and despicable pieces of slime, are the creations of J.V. An- drew of Kitchener, a man who has appeared on TV saying that Cana- da needs the French language as much as it needs AIDS and is spread the same way. I support the English -French du- ality in Canada. I believe that Ca- nadians who speak only French are equal to Canadians who speak only English, and that all Canadians should be able to receive service in English or French in federal gov- ernment offices everywhere in Canada, and in French in provin- cial and municipal government of- fices in regions of Ontario with sufficiently large French speaking populations to justify this expense. I despise the evil and wicked peo- ple who are poisoning my country. Paul Campbell Seaforth Hydro rates : r ffi,:; TORONTO - For the second time in as many years, Ontario Hydro is offering rebates to purchasers of outdoor timers, in an effort to re- duce the amount of electricity con- sumer by motor vehicle block heat- ers. Part of Hydro's Power Saver en ergy efficiency program, $10 re- bates will be given for timers pur- chased between October 1, 1991 and February 28, 1992. One of the Power Saver program objectives is to help consumers purchase energy efficient products to reduce their demand for electricity. Another is to help reduce the demand on the utility's system, especially during the winter peak period.
