Times-Advocate, 1979-07-04, Page 24Lucan council has decided not to take any current ac- tion on a resolution from the municipality of York asking for a change in provincial grants. The York resolution asks the province to amend the Municipal Assistance Act to operate on a formula or unconditional basis and suggested the present system was inconsistent. At Tuesday's regular meeting councillor 'Norm Steeper commented, "That would be a major policy , change. We can't just go diving into something like this. It would be a shakeup of the whole system of grants." Reeve Ivan Hearn agreed saying, "I can't see much wrong with the present system. Let's wait until we get further information." Bylaws were passed establishing Market Square and Elm street parks as public parks. •i Page 8A Times-Advocate, July 4, 1979 Set out watering times Want no change in provincial formula for grants OUR NEW CHURCH CHARITY AUCTION Saturday July 7th LUCAN REVIVAL CENTRE TO BE HELD AT THE PARKING LOT ON RICHMOND ST.

T-A photo The park board of management authorized under the Public Parks Act will consist of Larry Hotson, Norm Steeper and Ed Melanson. At the same time a bylaw prohibiting the entry of snow vehicles, bicycles, motor vehicles, motorcycles and horses in these two parks was passed. A bylaw was updated setting the times when watering of lawns and gardens will be allowed. The only time when the use of garden hoses or any other watering devices will be permitted will be between the hours of 7:30 to 9:a.m. and 6:30 to 9 p.m. Considerable discussion took place regarding con- struction of the Chestnut street drain, A motion placing the project as the number one priority for the 1980 road budget was finally passed. Reeve Ivan Hearn pointed out that the drain was not included in the current year's budget and if it was done this year, the entire cost would be borne by taxpayers. Councillor Norm Steeper commented, "One of our prime responsibilities is to provide good roads, but we must also have these things, in the budget to get the proper subsidies. This comes up every year, but always is put off." It's time this was done. Let's get at it first thing next spring," added councillor Larry Hotson. Permission was given to the Lucan and Clandeboye UCW's to use park picnic tables during the Lucan Fair in August. A letter was received from Consumer Relationship Minister Frank Drea pointing out that the recent resolution from Tecumseh asking for protection for senior . citizens from irreputable real estate agents was not necessary. Drea said sufficient protection was provided by the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act. In other business, council: Referred decision on a recent report on the con- dition of the water supply tanks to the August meeting. Accepted with regret the resignation of bylaw en- forcement officer Joe Jackson effective July 31, Violin music for service Sunday, the 7 p.m. service at the Lucan Revival Centre was led by Rev. Ray Brewster. Ken Allen of Ailsa Craig played his violin ac- companied by Mrs. John Armitage on the piano, during the hymnsing. The Cathedralaires, a trio from the Queensway Cathedral in Toronto ministered in song, highlighting the service. They are Mrs. Doris Tollefs on, formerly of Lucan, sisters Mrs. Lil and Mrs. Nettie Melnichuk, and pianist Mrs. Eileen Good- man. Mr. Brewster's message was from John 21:1-6, on "There is a blessing in empty nets." "There is a dry time in Christian experience, when the blessings from God seem to fade away, the empty net time. We need an ongoing flow from God, in faith to believe God is always there, that He can always help us," said Mr. Brewster. As Jesus changed an empty net to a full one for the disciples, as they obeyed Him, it brought blessings to them. A dark night of useless toil represents our needs, but sunrise brings joy and fullness of blessing. We too must learn to try God's way, and our needs will be met. This Saturday, July 7, is the date for the "Charity Auction" to be held on the parking lot behind the Church, starting at 1 p.m. All proceeds will go towards the building, fund of the Church.
