HeavyPains cause basement flooding
Water, water everywhere.
That was the situation in
Lucan Tuesday night shortly
before council met for their
regular September meeting
and the overabundance of
water was the subject for
most of the night.
About four inches of rain
fell in less ,than two hours
and along with about the
same amount of precipita-
tion Sunday night, it created
many problems in village
basements.
Goerge Gatt and Dave and
Karen Urbshott visited coun-
cil to present a petition for
action resulting from
flooding due to Sunday's
heavy rain. More then 30
houses in the Kleinfelt
avenue area were affected.
They also reported similar
flooding was occurring at
the time they were in the
council chambers from the
most recent rains.
The residents signing the
petition were not the only
ones with problems.
Coucillor Larry Hotson mis-
sed the meeting. He was
having a similar flooding
problem in his own base-
ment.
Council *al! sympathetic
to the complaMts and is co-
operating by forwarding the
petition to the Ontario
Ministry of the Environ-
ment.
Reeve Ivan Hearn explain-
ed to the delegation that the
problem is, occurring
because basement drains
are hooked up to the sanitary
sewers. He Continued "When
the subdivision was con-
structed the Ministry allow-
ed cellar drains to be hooked
up, but, this was normally
against their regulations."
"We don't have the capaci-
ty to handle this amount of
water. It's as simple as that.
I've been here for 32 years
and have never seen so much
water with downpipes
overflowing," added the
reeve.
In supporting his theory
that the village was not
responsible Hearn said.
"The developer was respon-
sible for completing the sub-
division and then turning it
over to the village, but, the
Ministry of the Environment
owns the sewers."
Hearn agreed with the
Revival Centre
Back from his holiday trip
to the Maritimes, Rev. Ray
Brewster conducted the
morning service. Rev. Ken
McLellen, pastor of
Christianview P.H. Church
in Halifax N.S. was the guest
minister. Rev. McLellen
stressed the importance of
listening to the word of God.
Speaking from Gal, 1 he
showed how people who
claim the Lordship of Jesus
Christ can call Him "Our
Lord".
When we are reading
God's word we need to know
what it says. Some
Christians can go away from
the true gospel of Christ to
follow a perverted teaching.
The devil sneakily brings in
teaching that perverts the
gospel truth by legalism and
wrong doctrine.
Strong Christians will
stand firm on the teaching of
God's word. Anyone who
does not read his Bible is
living in spiritual darkness,
while one who reads his
Bible is living is in the light

Sunday evening Gary
Schlegel led the song ser-

ministered from Jerem. 1:5

being Gods's private
possessions. Acts 9:1-6 tells
of God choosing Saul to serve
Hjm, The principal is that
God chooses each of us

People may look at those
whom God has chosen and
think their old lives were not

forgiveness for our past, we
need to forgive ourselves,

Tom. Collins also reported
basement flooding and
suggested a drain cut off

He was assured by reeve

"There are no storm drains
