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." Chittenden - should advertise in Chittenden - "A larger library the local area. will be a big help."

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."
