No collection for three weeks Hope cancellations don't hurt church budgets • Times -Advocate, January 27, 1912 The recent series of weekend blizzards have effected local church ser- vices but very few of the pastors feel there will be any financial consequences ler Storm Continued from front page Porter said. "I don't have much sympathy for people like that who have no business being out there on the road. They were nice young people but when you think of the family of four (killed Sunday in a crash in a whiteout near Goderich) who aren't here today..." Merklinger admitted the soldiers had avoided roadblocks north of Mitchell but said "I really can't remember" where police had closed the highway because driving was perilous. their budgets. James Forsythe of Exeter United Church said it's possible his church budget has been set back a bit. "but we won't know until the end of the month." He said only the January 10 service was cancelled. and on the follow- ing two Sundays attendance was only a quarter of what it normally is. A good Sunday could provide the recovery they need, he said. Ken Knight, paster of three Presbyterian parishes in Exeter, Hensall and Dublin said services were cancelled in Exeter only on January 10 while the other two were closed all three Sundays. "It's too early to say if there has been any financial impact. It may have some small immediate impact but not in the long term." He added that this was the first time three successive services had been cancelled. Still hope to reach sewer agreement Efforts will continue to obtain an agreement on the cost of connecting Grand Cove Estates to the Grand Bend sewage system. Stephen township reeve Doug Russell said Monday he hoped the dispute could be settled without a Municipal Board Hearing. Russell had said after a December 9 meeting had failed to resolve the issue his township probably' had no alternative to calling for an OMB'hearing. Negotiations have been going on for several months. between the village of Grand Bend and the developers on what the costs would be to hook on to the new $3 million system. Ridge Pine Park Inc. of Brampton are developers of the 258 unit subdivision located in Stephen township at the northerly edge of Grand Bend. Originally, Grand Bend was asking twice the $76.50 rate charged its own ratepayers ' while the developers offered $13.0 a unit. Recently village reeve Bob Sharen said a recalculation of the rates for residential users has cut the annual bill to $48. The latest suggestion from Grand Bend is to charge 120 percent of the residential rate of $48 to cover the extra costs of connecting Grand Cove Estates to the system. Ridge, Pine solicitor and planner Andrew Orr said in a London Free Press story Wednesday that an offer in the vicinity of $24 to $30 per unit was made • to reeve, Sharen in a conversation, not a public discussion. Ridge Pine's offer is based on a percentage of the operating cost of the system and not capital costs. Orr indicated the company has already spent large sums of money expanding their sewage lagoon and installing an oversized pipe from the subdivision to the pumping station and should not be charged for capital costs of the entire system. He . said Ridge Pine has based its offer on 18.9 per- cent of the extra operating costs of connecting the subdivision to' the sewer system: ' complex." Morris Francis Thamesview IlnitedChurch in Fullarton said his church was closed for three con- secutive Sundays and there had been a special meeting this week to allow the stewards to borrow money, "but we will catch up", he said The previous record for' closures had been two weeks. Elwood Morden, pastor of Granton and Wesley United Churches cancelled the ser- vices of January 10 and 17 Lucan may get survey repeated Lucan village council will likely be issuing a second questionnaire concerning the need for senior citizen housing. 1 - Councillor Norm Steeper who is also chairman of the planning board said after a Tuesday night meeting "This was not a true reflection of what we have been hearing from our seniors." A recent study supported by a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Housing in- dicated only one of 39 who answered the first questionnaire qualified for subsidized housing. Steeper continued, "That's why we want a second look at their needs. I have had four calls from seniors -since the first questionnaire." The Tuesday meeting discussed alternative methods of obtaining senior housing accommodation. Greg Playford of Central Mortgage and. Housing Corporation told council and planning board that a private developer' could receive a forgiveable grant of $7,500 for each unit built, bui, the rent would not be subsidized. Of the 39 senior persons replying to the survey, only 13 indicated a need for housing and only one was eligible for a rental subsidy. Steeper said council would take another 'look at the situation at the February 2. meeting. He added, "We would like to try another questionnaire that is less for both churches. "I wouldn't know if we are hav- ing problems. We will know better after next Sunday, but I can see we may have some." Harley Moore of Grand Rend held services at Grand Bend Ignited Church without interruption during the three weekend storms. He did cancel services at Greenway United. his se - cond pastorate, on January 10 and 17. "We don't an- ticipate any problems at all. It there were. it would show up much later on. perhaps in six months." he said. Burton Crowe, minister of Centralia and Zion West United Churches cancelled services for all three weeks, a record for his parishes. "There has been no report recently which would in- Page 3 dicate any financial problems. but we don't an- ticipate any." he said. Most of the ministers said there annual budgets run from January to January. The main problem with old age is that you don't grow out of it. The only cure for love is marriage.
