Ninety-five percent of the 80 percent of Lucan homeown- ers trying the service are commit- ted to subscribing on a regular ba - SIS. Steve Ward is interested in meet- ing with council to discuss the possibility of installing equipment for a community channel. Brian Ilaskett of Haskett Hod- gins Engineering appeared before Lucan council to- inform the vil- lage of his client's plans to develop a property just south of the village boundaries. The property, at the conjunction of Highway 4 and Concession road 4-5, is commonly known as the Sunoco property. It is presently zoned by Biddulph Township for a gas station, car wash and repair ga- rage, but rezoning is sought to al- low the construction of a plaza - type development. This plaza could include an ani- mal clinic, a club, a garden centre, a gas bar, a market centre, profes- sional offices, outside storage, a re- staurant and/or take out restaurant, a retail store, and an appliance re- pair shop. The actual plan for the lot is flexible depending on what kinds of businesses are interested in leas- ing the property. "It'll certainly be an improve- ment," said councillor Bryan Smith, but reeve Norman Steeper asked Haskett about r .ssible con- BIDDULPH ROYALTY - Named King and•Queen of Thursday's Winter Carnival at Biddulph Central School were Brad Coughlin and Jennifer Heckman. Lucan -...wr!Nymisoonaft--- Susan Cook 227-4911 Revival Centre news Rev. Roger Mason conducted the Sunday morning service. Rev. Ma- son spoke from Genesis -2:18-24. God instituted this first marriage. Marriage should be respected, and highly esteemed. God said it was not good for a man to live alone, so made woman, and presented her to the man Adam. Since God invented marriage, then in verse 24 said how .. it should be, why should men tam - Thank You The Lucan Skating Club would like to thank club members, Lucan Community Centre Staff and all the car- ing individuals from Lucan and area who volunteered their time to make the Gold Medallion Precision competi- tion a success. per with it? Marriage is not a social custom. God gave away the first bride to the first man. God designed marriage for companionship. Verses 18 and 20 tell us man needed a helper. God created woman to be man's compan- ion. Companionship is friendship in being comfortable with the com- panion. When the marriage partner is a companion, there is not the fear that faults and mif;talces will break the marriage. Marriage was designed by God to bring completion. When the woman was made to be man's helper, she was not taking a lower place. God is called a helper in the Bible. What is true of the man is true of the woman. In marriage the two are joined together to help one another. Marriage was designed to be ex- clusive and permanent, according to verse 24. Marriage involves leaving parents, forsaking all others, to be separated to go to a partner. This is not abandoning parents, it is leav- ing to set up a new relationship.

"They are probably going to be competitive with what's already here," conceded Haskett. "I guess there is always the ques- tion of the downtown becoming a ghost town," said Smith. Steeper was also concerned about' one of the entrances to the property from the unpaved concession road and whether the surface could with- stand the increased traffic. "Are we going to be faced with a paving program?" asked Steeper. "We haven't considered that at all," replied Haskett. "We think the main traffic will come from the two entrances on the highway." Councillor Smith also raised the question of the water shortage and how this development would affect it. "We can assure you now there's not going to be a car wash," said Haskett, adding that the planned re- staurant would use less water than the car wash presently occupying the property. Haskett concluded his presentation by assuring council that all neigh- boring property owners' concerns and questions would be addressed at the public meeting once the town- ship has set the date. In other business council dis- cussed the ongoing water shortage issue. Due to this shortage, no construc- tion of swimming pools will be al- lowed this year. An application from Ron Peters for a building per- mit for a pool was turned down by council. Peters claims to have bought a pool kit last August. "I would hate to have a pool in my basement," said councillor Bob Hodge, "but where do you draw the line." Council noted that the ban on pool construction was already in ef- fect last summer although some permits are still outstanding. "Basically, as of January, we were not approving anything," main- tained Steeper. "I think we're going to be as un- popular as hell, but we're going to Seniors plan. p be as unpopular as heli when we run out of water in the summer," agreed Hodge. Solicitor for the village Robert Benner presented council with infor- mation concerning access to thc vil- lage wells in Biddulph township. An easement corridor 1760' long and 9' wiie extends from the village boundary to the well property. Ben- ner discovered that the easement was registered in 1941 and had expired after 40 years, but since no other claims have been made for the land there will be no difficulty in re- registering the easement. Councillor Harry Wraith presented the•report of the Public Works com- mittee to council, noting that the earliest date possible for govern- ment funding to be made available to the village for creating a Lake Huron water supply would be April of this year. Council Briefs Lucan Council has chosen not to support a petition from the Town- ship of Peel to the government about waste disposal concerns. Peel is concerned about the types and unnecessarily large sizes of packaging that arc immediately thrown away after retail purchases. "It's the kind of letter we get eve- ry three, four years from some erst- while group," said reeve Norm Stecper.- Mitchell-Seatorth Cable Televi- sion i:; t;leascd the response to its trial period for cable service Council passed a bylaw to renew the agreement for garbage collec- tion and disposal with an Ontario numbered company formerly known as the C.11.
