Morris reviews drain report
Cathy McCracken greeted
worshippers and handed out the
service of worship at Knox United
Church on Sunday, Jan. 24.
Rev. Mary Jane Hobden
welcomed everyone on the third
Sunday after Epiphany.
The Old Testament reading was
from Isaiah 9: 1-4. Psalm 27: 1, 4-9
was read responsively.
The children gathered in the front
pew for story time. Rev. Hobden
read a letter from Paul which was
written in Greek. Having had it
translated she read it to the
children. Paul started one of the
first churches.
People need to remember we are
all different but we are all God’s
children, she said.
Residents bowl, play euchre
Becky Logan and Alison
Wightman were in charge of the
nursery.
The Epistle reading was taken
from I Corinthians: 10-18 with the
Gospel lesson from Matthew 4: 12-
23.
The sermon referred to the
scripture reading. "Just as Jesus
called his disciples, he also calls us
to be his disciples," Rev. Hobden
said.
Don and Ken Procter took up the
offering.
On Sunday, Jan. 31 the Junior
Choir will be providing Ministry of
Music.
Lunch and the Knox annual
meeting will take place following
the worship service.
Andy McBride of Mailland Engi
neering Services was on hand for
the Jan. 12 meeting of Morris Twp.
council to deal with the Bly th
Creek and Branch A Grasby
Drains difficulties.
After review and discussion,
McBride told council the only way
to clean up the maiLcr was to pre
pare a new report though he did not
recommend it be done al this lime.
If it were completed, it would make
the completed drainage work legal.
In question were the sand traps,
which had been ordered by the
Ministry of Natural Resources and
the stoning, for which Drainage
Superintendent Gary Nicholson
said he followed the Frasers’ direc
tion.
It was reported the Frasers have
asked that another portion of the
drain be cleaned out, but won't sign
a drain maintenance form.
Nicholson said he has not been
emptying the sand traps as often.
Council suggested the drain is
cleaning itself and could be
checked in the spring.
A letter was sent to the Frasers
seeking detail on invoices and
explanation of the installments,
informing them that council is
working under the Drainage Act
and that Nicholson is inspecting the
outlet and council will check it
again in 1999. Council will inquire
about damages to Lol 21 and let the
Frasers know damages go through
Nesbitt Construction.
A response from the Frasers was
requested by Feb. 2.
The results of the Grasby Drain
tribunal were reviewed with clarifi
cation requested on two points.
More information was needed
regarding crop damage in the year
of construction and responsibility
for engineering fees.
Ken Glanvillc, owner of Lol 30,
Cone. 10, attended the session to
discuss the land which houses the
old Walton library.
Chief Building Official Paul
Josling had earlier recommended
the building be demolished due to
its poor condition.
Council will seek a legal opinion,
in writing from Allan Mill of Craw
ford, Mill and Davies.
Allan Walker and Dave Scott
attended to discuss the on-going
maintenance of the Kinsmen Park
in Belgrave.
While the Kinsmen built the
park, neither the arena board nor
East Wawanosh Twp. council were
receptive to the idea. The question
of responsibility for maintenance
remained.
A committee of five Kinsmen,
Paul McKee, Ken Hopper, Lome
Campbell, Dave Scott and Murray
Vincent, will continue*to look after
the park for one more year and it
will slay on the community centre
agreement for now. The group of
five will look into establishing a
maintenance committee.
Nicholson asked if the drainage
equipment had to be stored al the
township shed every night. Council
said it was not necessary every
night, but when a job is completed.
Canada has one of the
highest rates of multiple
