On the first subject Steeper said. "As you are aware our priorities have for a number of years centred around correcting the assessment imbalance in this village as it relate to commer- cial and residential figures. You are no dbubt aware that we currently have a ratio of commercial to residen- tial close to 80 to 20. Ideally this should be in the neighbourhood of 60 to 40. The key of course to attracting this kind of development lies in our abili- ty to attract and to service industry. From what I understand we have in this area an ideal situation for attrac- ting industry - included ,in this, of course, is the fact that we are located on major transportation corridors. We have an excellent power reserve, we can provide skilled -semi- skilled labour, and, we have access to large urban centres. The only thing we are not able to provide is sewerage and water. What is now needed is to assess our resources, set priorities and develop a strategy whereby these LUCAN WINS IN SILVER STICK - The division six championship of the recent International Silver Stick novice tournament in St. Clair Shores, Michigan was .won by Lucan.

Roger Mason conducted the Sunday morning service. Mrs. Amelia Graham playing the piano. accompanied the ; singing. Mrs. Graham just reached 84 years young. Rev. Mason spoke from Mark 2:18-28, where the Pharisees round fault with Jesus. These religious leaders kept finding find! with Jesus in destructive criticism. as they were out to destroy Him. The conception of fault finding is in one's thoughts. One who is a fault finder is not interested in the truth. When Jesus forgave and healed the paralyzed than He was showing the Pharisees the truth that He was the Son of God. but they accused Him of blasphemy. A fault finder looks for mistakes in other's. Anything positive or good Jesus (lid was ignored. It might ap- pear the scribes and Pharisees were looking for the truth. but their truth was their own ideas. not Jesus'. This is because a fault finder is not honest. Their belief was Jesus was wrong. so scrutinized the life of the perfect Son of God to find fault ; In direct fault finding as in verse 18 THE MORE-FOR-YOITR-MONEY RRSP MORE INTEREST Standard Trust consistently offers higher interest rates than the banks.

The Old Testament law required only one day of fasting. on the Day of Atonement. The Pharisee brought in rules to fast twice a _week. The Pharisees found fault that Jesus did not teach His disciples to fast. Next the Pharisees found fault with Jesus and His disciples as they picked grain in the fields to eat it on the Sabbath day. They considered this reaping. What the disciples did was permitted in the .law of Moses. But the Pharisees open ly accused Jesus of wrong. A fault finder is not interested in helping a Christian back to God. They are self righteous in their finding fault. without showing Compassion. Valentines for seniors this week .

Next Steeper talked about the 'Aver expansion study which is about to go. He added, "we have, as well. started studies on the water problem. It is, however, vitally important that we have before us information of some type that will show is in the clearest possible terms the cost fac- tors, the pay back impact and the long term benefits to this village of all these projects. The reeve asked the villages finance committee for a recommen- dation to determine terms of reference for a financial planning study which will eventually lead to the use of a consultant and a report. Hopefully this will give council a guideleine for financing and im- plementing the many major projects facing us in the next few decades. Ile continued, "in my view, wasting a lot of lead time grouping. and backtrack- ing both internal and with the ministries concerned. Fal too much time has been 'wasted as it is - especially so when one considers the further delay imposed on us by the ministry as it relates to the sewer -ex- pansion project." Steeper concluded, "In addition to this, you will be asked to consider a policy proposal whereby we can give assistance to homeowners that are af- fected by basement flooding. I trust you realize that by correcting the pro- blem in even a few of the homes, that by reducing the :low of -rainwater in- to the sanitary system to-atn• signifi- cant extent will result in cost savings to (tie village in the long term. This of course will be realized in terms of both dollar savings in not having to treat pure water and in increasing the servicing capacity of the lagoons." Work superintendent Doug Johnston presented a report from the village engineer '- outlining preliminary •estimated costs' and phasing for the Butler street construc- tion-- i nc luding--new--sidewalks--and-- watermain completion.' He was told by clerk Ed Nielson that PRIDE grants for some of this work would not be available until April. 1988. Local resident Irene Herbert sug- gested that council consider a pro- gram to recycle glass; metal and newspaper. A number of Girl Guides along with leader Terry Mawdsley sat in on part of the meeting. A plaque was presented to Bob Taylor for his many years of service to the Lucan community as board member and secretary. WINNING CAPTAINS — Jodi Riddell, Greg Boshort, Andrea Van Geel and Neil Frcats were captains of the winning teams in Friday's winter carnival of Biddulph Central School. T -A photo United Church •Saturday looked like spring. Sun- day we knew better. God. ever faithful and constant. sent snow__A gentle reminder, but for the faithful who came to worship at Lucan United Church and there were a goodly number, we sang about that faithfulness. • Mr. T. 0 Chisholm, a newspaper man and soon to be evangelist wrote this hymn, "Great is Thy Faithfulness" in 1866 and years later ip 1954 George Beverley Shea re- introduced it during a Billy Graham Crusade in London, England. "Summer and winter. springtime and harvest, Sun. myon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness. To They great faithfulness, mercy and love". The children's story was really'a lesson in thankfulness. Rev. Darrell Shaule, talked to the children about being thankful, first of all for the Bi- ble, God's word. and then for the teachers and co-workers in Junior Church. Rev. Shaule suggested that we con- tact the elders of the church in times of trouble and should the problem be one of illness, the annointing of oil is scriptural. The prayers of the con- gregation go to Rev. Jewell Shaule who is in hospital. We are your peo- ple, Lord, we worship you. - Skating lessons for students The six week instructional skating Everyone is reminded to bring a program is well under way at signed VaEveryone er this wreminded for Vbring a Biddulph-Lucan Central School.
