The Goderich PUC found It necessary to raise rates after Ontario Hydro announced it would increase Its charge for supplying power to the municiRal service by 8.2 per cent in the next year. If Ontario Hydro approves the increased municipal rates, It would raise the average residential con- sumer's monthly rate to $35.75 from $33.75, based on an average of 750 KWH. Approval is expected within a few weeks. The commission has approved an operating budget of $3,601,235 for 1983, which includes an estimated $3,210,235 for the cost of buying power from Ontario Hydro. The commission also approved a capital budget off $115,600 for 1983. The PUC's capital budget has ranged from $142,000 to $161,000 but the 1983 budget is considerably Bower because no major projects are anticipated. Obscene phone caller caught A 14 -year-old male juvenile from Goderich has been charged under the Juvenile Deliquents Act with making obscene phone calls. The calls were made over a period of two weeks to the same young woman in Goderich. Police were able to trace the calls and then make the arrest, Chief Pat King says his department has been successful in past years tracing such calls also. He would urge anyone receiving obscene phone calls, to contact police immediately. Approves leave plan The Huron -Perth Separate. School Board approved a teacher funded leave plan at its Oct. 25 meeting. The plan is to be implemented Jan. 1, 1983 and a teacher has to have worked for the board for five years before they may qualify to enter the plan. Many school boards across the province have such a plan. For the Huron -Perth teachers, it means once they apply and board approval is given, 20 percent of their annual salary is kept in a specific fund for four years. In the fifth year; which is the year they have off from teaching, they receive 80 percent of their salary. The Huron -Perth Unit of the Ontario English Catholic Teachers' Association had requested the plan. The board approved the plan by an 11 to 1 unrecorded vote. Trustee Ray Van Vliet said there is no cost to the board for the plan. Drea urged... • from page 1 Tim Frawley, chief steward of Local 122 of the Ontario Public Service Workers Union, debated several points in the ministry's five-year plan and suggested that the staff's perceptions of the ministry's concerns are clouded by the human aspects of the impact of the plan. "We find, thetas direct. service providers to our residents, we . cannot separate their needs as in- dividuals from the larger economics of the plan. For this we do not apologize," he said. "Honorable in- tentions do not i automatically produce honorable results. We have an obligation to provide the best available service to our residents." Frawley, on behalf of the union, suggested the ministry could test the plan by closing one facility and evaluating the effectiveness of the plan. While the hundreds in attendance at the meeting left with no assurances the centre would be saved, they left with the firm resolve to fight Drea on the closure.
