Amalgamation a big issue for Lucan
A large turnout arrived at Lucan's all -candidates meeting
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
LUCAN - Amalgamation, an ex-
panded library and the general fu-
ture were some of the main issues
raised Thursday night in Lucan at
the all -candidates meeting.
Looking to be elected November
14 to the five -member village coun-
cil are incumbent councillors Rob
Brady and Reg Crawford along
with newcomers Rosemary Gal -
linger -Beaune, Martin Chittenden,
Daryl Keen and Robert Mos-
urinjohn.
Returned by acclamation were
reeve Tom McLaughlin and dep-
uty -reeve Harry Wraith.
Thursday's meeting at the com-
munity centre was very well -
attended and pitted the candidates
against a panel of local residents,
Patrick Ryan, Ann Dawson, Kelly
Wilson and Wayne Pryce.
"Tonight we are glad you've de-
cided to celebrate democracy with
us," said moderator Paul Dale.
"Only 40 percent of the world gets
to do this."
The following are some of the
questions to the candidates and
their responses:
Q. As far as the future of Lu -
can is concerned how do you vis-
ualize it 10 years from now?
Brady - "400 or 500 more popula-
tion, 100 more homes. That's the
type of growth the community can
stand."
Chittenden - "We may also see
some small industrial areas grow-
ing."
Crawford - "There has to be
something to provide more busi-
ness."
Keen - "We'll see a certain degree
of economic increase."
Gallinger-Beaune - "I would
hope it would be the type of com-
munity the citizens would like to
have."
Mosurinjohn - "I'd like to see
traffic safety signs and 40 km an
hour signs. I'd like to see Lucan
prosper."
Q. How would you like to see
industrial growth? a good idea."

efits, cost wise you'd have fewer
councillors."
Keen - "The sharing of facilities,
for example a library. Lucan has a
lack of land for any potential
growth."
Gallinger-Beaune - "I think we
have to look at it very carefully be-
fore we say yes or no."
Mosurinjohn - "Personally I op-
pose it. Local government should
be as local as possible."
Brady - "I don't think it's a ques-
tion of if, it's a question of when."
Chittenden - "Amalgamation
would likely be good and give us a
better tax base."
Q. What are your thoughts
about expanding the library?
Keen - "We definitely need a new
facility, where in town I don't know
where."
Gallinger-Beaune - "It's one of
the most important things in the
community. I'm all for expansion."
Mosurinjohn - "I think we need
more space. It should be kept cen-
tral, downtown."
Brady - "The one we have is in-
adequate. This issue is current, it
comes up fairly frequently. To in-
clude other levels of government is
Lucan library could
be expanded
By Fred Groves
T -A staff
LUCAN - Although discussion is
only in the preliminary stages right
now, efforts arc being made into
expanding the Lucan library.
The Middlesex County Board of
Education along with the Mid-
dlesex County Library Board, the
Village of Lucan and the Township
of Biddulph are exploring the pos-
sibility of constructing a joint li-
brary facility in the village.
"From our perspective we're very
cramped at the Lucan library," said
Carol Roberts who is the branch
co-ordinator for the Middlesex
County Library Board. "We need
more room, that's the bottom line."
Expanding the library, which is
housed in a building owned by the
Lucan Masons, has two purposes.
To create a bigger library and it is
hoped this joint operation will be a
model which could be used in other
Middlesex communities.
"We've been meeting with the
(school) board and we're doing
some preliminary studies," said
Roberts.
The committee which has been
established is attempting to come to
some agreement with respect to
size of structure, location, own-
ership of books, staffing, etc.
Middlesex has 18 library branch-
es and all but two of those, one be-
ing Lucan, are owned by the mu-
nicipalities. Lucan is owned by a
service club, the Masons.
Libraries across the province are
seeing a big increase in their use,
however, funding isn't always there
for upgrading. Roberts said that
while financial assistance isn't
guaranteed from the Ministry of
Education, there may be some
available.
"I think what we have to do is
look for money," said Ted Ander-
son, Director of Education for the
Middlesex County Board of Educa-
tion. "There are several counties in
the province looking at this."
