Council hears for plaza
at south end of villagee
in Lucan. 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-

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 -

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.

filets these new businesses would
pose to existing Lucan operations.
"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.-
