Study sewer proposals Times -Advocate March 13 1985 Page 15 Council to participate in Youth Year At Tuesday's regular meeting of Lucan council, reeve Norm Steeper indicated the village should take some step toward participation in Youth Appreciation Year as declared by the. United Nations. - Steeper continued, "It seems ap- propriate that we should take some stance on this issue. We could make our service clubs aware that we are interested and that we would be will- ing to make a modest contribution." Councillor Bryan Smith suggested the local Optimist club already with a theme of youth should be approach- ed along with the Lions and Legion. The reeve paid compliments to works supervisor Doug Johnston and his staff for the excellent job they did in keeping the streets clear of snow during a difficult winter. Steeper also congratulated deputy - reeve Harry Wraith on his 25th an- 'niversary of being in business in Lucan and making great contribu- tions to the village during that time. As the result of a recent meeting with Ontario Ministry of the Environ- ment and M.M. Dillon engineering of- ficials, council will be taking some steps to upgrade the present sewer lines and alleviate some of the pro- blems of flooding which have been prevalent throughout the village in re- cent years. - The village has several options with which to proceed. They are to in- crease the size of .the present line, in- stall a secondary sewer line or install a pumping.sub-station. • Moves at the ratepayer level could be to have all roof leaders discon- nected, -install sump pumps where necessary and better lot grading to move Water away. Finance committee chairman coun- cillor Larry Hotson told council his group had come up with a preliminary budget figure of $440,560 for expenditures under the control of the village. � Hotson said the preliminary figure was lower than last year and he hoped the village mill rate would be kept at the same level as in 1984. Requisitions for the county of Middlesex and the school boards have not yet been received. A meeting is_ being held with the auditor on March 19. The finance chairman said he did not expect a deficit from 1984 operations. The following figures are being put in reserve for future spending: $10,000 each for works department equip- ment and sewer expansion; $5,040 for office equipment and -$3.000 for a land- fill study. • As chairman of parks and recrea- tion, Hotson suggested a question- naire concerning activities for seniors at the village's parks should be in - eluded in the next village news letter. He suggested the inclusion of horseshoes. shuffleboard and lawn bowling. In other business, council: Gave approval for the local Cancer Society to put a banner across Main street at William street during the month of April. Agreed to appeal the assessment tor village streets on the hardy municipal drain. Decided to order 500 additional village of Lucan pins. Iteferred the Hardy municipal drain back to the engineer for reconstruction. Decided to call tenders for con- struction of phase three of Francis street with a closing date of April 2. Focus on Family series is continuing In spite of unfavourable weather conditions, a good group of parents and others gathered at Lucan United Church Tuesday evening, March 5 for the first of the film series, "Focus on the Family". The seminar -type presentation featured Dr. James Dob- son, who spoke about "The Strong - Willed Child". Using his .own children as ex- amples, he distinguished between childish irresponsibility and wilful de- fiance in children's behavior, pointing out that punishment and harshness over matters of irresponsibility are inappropriate. A game and a pleasant outlook can teach much more. But when a child tests the authority of a parent in an act of wilful defiance, prompt ,and decisive action is required. Those pre- sent appreciated Dr. Dobson's humour and his ability to relate to the sort of problems parents actually face. Light refreshments and a time of small -group informal discussion followed the film. The second film "Shaping the Will without Breaking jhe Spirit" is scheduled for March 12, and the third, "Christian Fathering" for March 19 both at 7:30 p.m. at the Church. All are invited. ( J. Robert Benner, B.Comm., LL.B. Barrister and Solicitor is pleased to announce the opening of his of- fice for the practice of law effective March 11, 1985. our habits, attitudes and actions.
