To petition Ministry ofrenvironment S•pt•mb•r 10, 81 b90 13 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 The greatest miracle of all is when one is born again,' passing from spiritual darkness into t, by ac- cepting Chris �a�eciona1.
