REE OF LIGHTS' - Seasonal weather as usual, snow and cold, was the order of the hour Sunday evening as Marg
Whitmore of Northside United Church led the Christmas carolling for those in attendance at the annual "Tree of Lights"
ceremony at Seaforth Community Hospital, put on by the hospital auxiliary. The blue spruce on the lawn was lit, and hot -
mulled cider and cookies were later available inside, as was Santa Claus for the children.
Declining rural population led to clustering parishes

architect and for the second
opinion.
St. Columban's current bal-
ance in the diocesan loan
fund was given as
$18,424.52.
Jansen said the parish was
also responsible for $623 of
cluster expenses per month.
He said envelopes (collec-
tion) have dwindled from 97
to 37 since the start of the
year.
A parishioner in the audi-
• ence clarified this later, indi-
cating 97 is the total ,number
of envelopes given out, but
the "actual" tailing off is less
dramatic, more like 45
envelopes to 37.
Fr. Del Ciancio cautioned
that he would not like to see
any capital campaign, were
parishioners to decide on a
big ticket item, say a new
church, cut into the existing
collections required for clus-
ter responsibilities.
"Operating must go on," he
said.
Larry Brennan, business
administrator of the Diocese
of London, reported the gap
between expenditures and
receipts in St. Columban
Parish has been getting wider
in the past four years, with
expenditures going up the
fastest.
In 1996 operating expendi-
tures were $83,706 against
receipts of $74,992.
The respective comparable
figures for 1995 he presented
in chart form were $83,3)0
($71,470); 1994 - $83,046
($81,750); and 1993 -
$85,213 ($83,447).
The numbers reflect a
"financial problem," the busi-
ness administrator comment-
ed, but one that was not nec-
essarily "grave."

matter with feeling frustrated
and angry."
He repeated the same thing
he said in September; the
diocese has no hidden agenda
and does not seek to dictate
an answer or solution.
Anne Murray and Mary
Ann Feeney of the parish
council reviewed trends with-
in the structure of the Roman
Catholic Church since 1993,
stemming from a diocesan
report that noted population
decline in rural areas and a
shortfall of priests, which has
led to a greater emphasis on
the policy of clustering
parishes. They also reported
that about two-thirds of the
current church buildings
within the diocese are more
than 50 years old.
Mary Ryan and Matt
Claessens, current chair of
the parish council also gave
an overview of tin history of
the faith in St. Columban,
and some of the challenges it
has withstood in its 165
years.
Tension was evident in the
question and answer period
that followed "the facts" and

Columban must come togeth-

PUBLIC MEETING
CONCERNING A PROPOSED OFFICIAL PLAN
AMENDMENT AFFECTING THE TOWNSHIP OF
TUCKERSMITH
TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the Corporation of the County of
Huron will hold a public meeting on Tuesday, December 18, 1997 at
8:00 p.m. In the Township ofTckeramlth Municipal Office In Vanastra
to consider a proposed Official Plan Amendment under Section 17 of the
Planning Act.
The proposed official plan amendment would amend Section 5, 3, 1. 4,
(surplus severance policies) In the Township of Tluckersmlth Secondary
Plan by the replacement of Section 5. 3, 1, 4.111.
The amendment would replace the existing section 5, 3, 1. 4.IIt. which
states as follows: That there has been no other residence or has been no
previous separation In the original lot as described in Registered Ptnn 1 of
Tuckersmuh Tburnshlp.'
The replacement policy would state as follows:
"That there has been no previous legal severance In the subject properly
since 1970.'
This amendment Is being considered to address recent situations where
surplus residences have not been eligible for severance due to previous
historical separation from the original lot; these separations may have
occurred many years prior to severances being issued by the County
(1970). In these situations, old school, cemetery or historic settlement
lots made the severance of a surplus agricultural residence not In
conformity with the plan policy. This amendment Is Intended to address
those situations. This would apply to all lands designated 'Agriculture'
In the Township of Tuckersmith.
ANT li'iRBON may attend the public meeting and/or make written or
verbal representation either In support or opposition to the proposed
official plan amendment. Written submissions may be forwarded to J.A.
Murray (address below).
If a person or public body files a notice of appeal of a decision In respect
of the proposed official plan amendment to the Ontario Munlclpal Board
and does not make oral submissions at a public meeting or does not
make written submissions before the proposed official plan amendment
1s adopted, the Ontario Munlclpal Board may dismiss all or part of the
appeal.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Including the proposed official plan
amendment and background material Is available for Inspection during
regular office hours at the office of the Huron County Planning and
Development Department, Court House Square, Goderich, between 8:30
and 4:30 p.m. Information Is also available at the Tuckersmlth
