The council made the deci- sion based on information given by Pletch at the meeting. The engineer tabled a preliminary agenda, mapping out the progress or the project which has been bumped up roughly two years due to a general shortage of water in the area. In the report, Pletch said that his firth had engaged in discussions with the Ministry of the Environment and had obtained an "agreement in prin- OBA quaflfying fours Lucan minor ball managed to stage all but the final games at the OBA 'E' qualifying tourney held Friday and Saturday at the Lucan Arena diamonds.

Pletch also put forvi a number of recommendatiops; among them, that Lucan r . vete its existing booster s : .n so that the village would • • e an alternate source of wat in an emergency. –Pie`tch noted that Lucan would be eligible for a direct grant from the provincial government of roughly 78 percent of the total cost of the project. The agenda put the project into a time frame, describing steps that must be taken before work begins. After the preliminary design is coin- • pleted and the project has been of- ficially approved by the Ministry of the Environment, approval from the township must be obtained. Property must then be acquired, municipal by-laws must be prepared along with geological reports, and the project will then go through another series of hearings. When the final design has been established, it will be reviewed by the ministry. Utility negotiations and ap- plication for final approval will preceed that. Pletch gave an optimistic predic- tion that construction would begin by May 1, 1988 and that the system would be in use by the end of 1988. He added that those dates were only estimates. Hydro report Lloyd Hall, chairman of the Luca. Hydro Commission, reported to coun- cil that the Commission is in a better financial position than it was at this time last year, noting that the change was largely due to a 9.5 percent rate increase over the last year. Plg Hall said that the commission's bank balance as of the end of June was approximately $20,000, up roughly $18,000 from last year at this time. He added that they were slightly under budget and that the commis- sion has shown a profit in the first six months which is twice as large as the profit of the entire previous year. Hall went on to say that roughly 10 percent more power was being used in the area this summer due to ex- treme temperatures. Council approved a recommenda- tion from the Service and Protection Committee that council pass a by-law to provide for "short form';,ticketing procedures for the noise, dog and lawn watering by-laws as set out in the Criminal Offences Act. A resolution was also passed to stop the borrowing of village property and equipment. Questions of liability and the availability of the equipment were cited as reasons for the step.

Revival Centre news Rev. Roger Mason conducted the 'Sunday morning service. Rev. Mason introduced Mrs. Helen Edwards, daughters Cindy and Jody, who sang The Loving Kindness, A New Crea- tion, and Follow Jesus, with Mrs. Ed- wards playing her guitar. Rev. Mason ministered from Mark 6:45-52. The storm that sprang up on Galilee at night troubled the disciples as they tried to row to land. God often seems distant in times of trouble. Sometimes when we find ourselves in trouble we have strayed off in our own direction. Other times .we can be God's will and still find ourselves in trouble. The disciples were Obeying. Jesus, yet found themselves in trouble in the Blessings at United Church 'This is my Father's World' in breathtaking heat or a refreshing warm summer rain, these are all blessings. We were very pleased to welcome Mrs. Barb Hodgens from Clinton to Lucan United Church Sunday. Perhaps you have read of this very special lady, who sets sermons to music, which she composes herself on the guitar. The first song, called the 'Fishing Song', asks the question Peter do you love me? The second, 'Loneliness', the message here - reach out and tell them you care and the third, 'Ileal- ing', - do you know what it feels like to be made whole and to start all over again? Her sense of humour was evident during the children's story which was David and Goliath when she said "David was someone who really knew how to get ahead." Mrs. Hodgens closed her program for the children with a chorus, 'My God is so big, so strong, and so mighty, there is_ nothing he cannot do'. Next Sunday Rev. Shaule will have returned from vacation. A really full church would be a nice 'Welcome Herne'. Try to be there. Thank you. storm. Jesus seemed nowhere near them. But Jesus saw them in trouble, and was responsive to their need. God is aware of our needs and troubles. God comes to us when we are in trou- ble in His time, but He is never too late. Christian movies --.Sunday even- ings August 16 - Peace Child; August 23 - Honest to God; August 30 - My Brother's Keeper. All welcome to these Christian films. Sunday evening Rev. Roger Mason led the service. Mrs. Helen Edwards played her guitar as she and daughters Cindy and Jody sang We've got the Power and Glory, Glory. The film A House Divided showed a young man Paul intent on an acting career, while his mother felt it may not be what God wanted him to do. When his older brother Johnny came home with a lady he had just married, who did not go to church, it shook Paul up. Paul discussed with his . parents the Bible says a believer is not to be unevenly yoked with an unbeliever. Ilis father stated since they were married they had to love them just like Christ does. Paul's friend encouraged him to pray for Johnny and his wife Patsy. This Paul found hard to do. Johnny came to tell Paul what had happened since he had left home. With new friends and surroundings he became so confused he did not know what to do. Both.brothers realized they both had left God out of being top in their lives. Johnny talked with the father who assured him of their love. Paul's friend told him his bitterness towards Johnny's wife Patsy was a sin. The friend told him Jesus showed love and compassion, not bitterness. Paul's friend encouraged him to give up pur- suing the acting career, then to seek first the kingdom of God. On the way home Paul asked God's forgiveness. Then Paul turned down the acting part he was after. lie then hurried home to see Johnny and Pat- sy before they left. On their way to the airport Paul apologized and asked if they could start over again. B3uNinee TOW ACCOUNTANT -PUBLIC orris L0muth ay(or Chartered Accountants P.O.
