Residents in south Hensall to wait for water HENSALL - The households on Highway 4 south of Hensall are going to have to rely on their wells for a while longer before they can be hooked up to the village's water distribution system. A funding re- quest to the ministry of the envi- ronment to extend a pipeline to those properties has been denied. Reeve Jim Robinson explained at • Monday's council meeting that the request to the ministry to pay up to 85 percent of the $60,000 pipeline failed to meet with approval. He said there was little council could do but notify those ratepayers of the village's regret that the project will not be going ahead yet. Although. MPP Jack Riddell's of- fice was to be contacted about Hen- sall's dissatisfaction over the deci- sion, clerk -treasurer Luanne Phair said she had been told the first course of action is to re -submit the grant application in the hope funds become available in the future. Tenders for the reconstruction of the Verlinde Drain were opened at Hay Township Monday evening, but the Hensall Co -Op has already asked that work on a culvert cross- ing the railway near its property be delayed. The Verlinde Drain pro- ject is aimed at improving drainage in both Hensall and Hay Township with the plans of the village's fu- ture expansion plans kept in mind. Consulting engineers on the pro- ject, B.M. Ross, recommended that the Co -Op culvert be replaced at the same time as the drain upgrade. An agreement between the Co -Op and Ask about our R.R.S.P. & G.I.C. RATES L CITIZENS MORTGAGE CORPORATION • - LONDON, ONT. 519-660-1260 TOIL, FREE 1-800-265-1588 Hensall will share the costs of the railway crossing culvert. A letter from B.M. Ross said the new culvert should be complet- ed at the same time as the rest of the drain project in order to prevent continued drainage problems on ad- joining properties, Councillor Cecil Pepper said he thought the existing culvert was of sufficient size to handle an im- proved drain. He said he was under the impression the culvert upgrade was for future growth only. Councillor Butch Hoffman agreed the economic strain on the Co -Op must be considered. "To spend $12-15,000 on that tile now and we might not even need that capacity this year..." he said. "You're talking about a lot of money," agreed Pepper. Councillor Peter Groot said the engineers recommendations should be taken seriously and also suggest- ed it might be cheaper in the long run to have the culvert installed while the contractors are in the arca. The village will be negotiating with the Co -Op over easements re- quired for the drain project and to establish the shared costs. The Hensall BIA have paid for half of a S500 bean costume being prepared in London for the -organiza- tion. The costume will be used to promote the village at community events. It should be ready in mid- July for viewing by the BIA and the Ontario Bean Producers. Do you know how to protect yourself from AIDS? Get the facts. Let's'lalk.

The beauty and fragrance of flowers serve as a reminder that funeral services are for the living. Colorful, tasteful floral arrangements are genally sent by those who cannot be present but wish to extend their condolances. These floral pieces help the bereaved to accept that life continues, though the loved one is no longer present to share in it. As such, flowers serve both to honor the deceased and to reaffirm the value of life itself. The sentiment which the flowers represent can travel further- than the funeral. Floral arrangements may be taken to the gravesite or to the church. Many hospitals and rest homes will accept gifts of flowers for their residents and patients. Or flowers given by friends in honor of the deceased -may be given to guests as a fragrant reminder of a lite that has -passed and of the val- ue of their own lives. Most florists have developed special floral arrangements for funerals. We also can answer your questions about the value of flowers in fu- neral services.
