The parent should plan beforehand what he will say about physical development and about the emergence of sexual urges and how the child can cope with them. We should deal also with the pressure towards conformity with his peer group during the teen years, and help him foresee the sport of moral choices he will have to make. He should be given some foresight also about the common strain on parent-child rela- tionships as the growing -up process continues, and be assured of the parents' unchanging love throughout. Small group discussion over coffee followed the film, giving those present opportunity to share valuable insights on the subject of the evening. The last two films deal with the marriage relationship under the title "What Wives Wish Husbands Knew about Woriien". On April 9, the sub - topic is "TheLonely Housewife", and on April 16, "Money, Sex, Children". All are invited to attend these last two films of the series. GOOD NEWS! There is good news for the Village of Lucan and especialfv for those who were worried about basement flooding. Council has resolved to proceed with an upgrading of the sewage system for relief of the basement flooding at an cost estimated by the M.M. Dillon. consulting engineers, at $850.000. This resoluti?n rounds up the deci- sion to upgrade the existing pumping station by installing two additional lagoon cells and aeration and alum feeding equipment at an estimated cost of $I.130,(x10, passed by council in October 1984. The Ontario Ministry of the En- vironment is expected to provide a grant covering approximately 78 per- cent of the eligible capital cost for both projects The Ministry is considering starting the project with the upgrading of the pumping station, construction of two new lagoons and installation of the alum equipment. Basement flooding relief and the expansion of the system will follow as they become necessary after the initial upgrading. Following acceptance of the pro- ject. the Ministry- is now preparing a complete description of the projects needed for the issuance of a (condi- tional I Certificate of Approval and is assembling the date required for a Consolidated Approval Hearing on the total program. 7hh To the Canvassers of East William s Township. - To /those who signed the petition against the London -Bruce Power Route - To those who helped fund the East Wms. portion of the War Chest to fight the route (almost $10,000 to this point). - Now ask for your Candidate's support.

Times -Advocate, April 10, 1985 lucan council declares hearing month Page 9 Question pubik share of drain cost The Hardy drainage report was the 1 chief order of business at Lucan coun- cil meeting on Tuesday night. The second submission of the engineer's report was discussed, and the new cost estimate announced. The first submission called for a residen- tial drain at the cost of $6,400. The new submission calls for an agricultural drain at the cost of $3,800. The session was intended to give people a chance to add or subtract their names from the petition to do the drain. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hodgins and Jack Porter attended the drainage session to discuss their concerns regarding the cleaning of culverts and place- ment of tiles. A court of revision meeting has yet to be scheduled. The appeal period is . within 10 days of the court of revision. There were some concerns raised by council regarding the public share of the drainage bill. Councillor Larry Hotsqn wondered, "How come the cost of the drain dropped almost 50 per cent and our portion only dropped PLAN FASHION SHOW The Lucan Figure Skating Club is holding their first annual fashion show, "The Signs of Spring" on Sun- day afternoon, April 14 in the Lucan main hall at 2 p.m. Angela Armitt will commentate on fashions supplied by Little People, Looking Good and Gerrard's (Exeter). There will be musical entertain- ment, refreshments and door prizes. An admission fee will be charged. 25 per cent?'' The engineer feels that the arena is responsible for 47.3 per cent of the water runoff, and that the community centre is the largest single water -problem. - There was some questioning of the water contributions by the bank and the tavern. Reeve Steeper pointed out that "we're prefectly within our rights asking for an acreage assessment." Councillor Hotson said he didn't want to hold up the drain for the sake of a $1,000 adjustment. 1t was decided not to ask for further justification at this time. The com- munity centre will decide themselves if they wish to question the assess- ment. First and second readings of the provisional bylaw for the Hardy drain were given. Other orders of business included a report from Harry Wraith and Doug Johnston regarding a drainage and construction meeting, hosted by Spriet and Associates Engineering in London, that they attended recently. Wraith said, "I got something out of it, -and it was one of the better meetings". Wraith and Johnston will be atten- ding another meeting on April 10 in Amhcrstburg, the 'Western Ontario Waterworks Conference. There is a $13 registration fee for the conference. The Hearing Awareness Society wanted a hearing awareness month declared. This was done. The Socie- ty also wanted a grant. This was pass- ed to the finance committee for fur- ther consideration. It was decided to give a Lucan flag to the Optimist Club of Lucan, as re- quested by the club. A letter was received frori3 the Chatham Flood Victims association requesting a donation This was also deferred to the finance committee. The Lucan Baseball Association received permission to use the Lucan crest on their umpire shirts, The Ministry of Transportation and Communications has been asked for supplementary subsidy money for the Butler Street culvert, which is part of the Benn drainage works. Doug Johnston was given authori- ty to buy a pump. The surcharge for water which has been waived since 1980 for the Lucan Community Centre was discussed. The centre is exempted from the sur- charge on 300,000 gallons of water per year, because that is the amount that goes into the pool, instead of for sewage. It means that $35 is sub- tracted from the Centre water bill every two months. It was decided to monitor the situation until September and see what happens.
