Members vote yes on Dam issue
The -Maitland Valley Conserva-
tion Authority has received the
go-ahead signal from its member
municipalities to negotiate with
Wingham on ownership of the
Lower Wingham Dam "if and
when the time arises". Authori-
zation was voted for the execu-
tive at the MVCA annual meeting
Friday in Brussels in the•form of
a motion stating: "That the
Authority accept ownership of
the Lower Dam and pond . . .
(but) will not guarantee • the re-
construction of the dam ... and
that the proposal for rehabilita-
tion of the area, which would be
mitually acceptable to the Au-
thprity, the.Conservataion Author-,
ities and the Town of Wingham be
prepared."
Both MVCA chairman Jack
Graul and Resources Manager
Ian DesLauriers explained the
motion would become effective
only "if and when" Wingham au-
thorities finally decided what
they wished to do in the situation.
Mr. DesLauriers carefully de-
fined the situation for new MVCA
members, using maps and charts
of the area. He stressed that the
passing of the motion would im-
pose no commitments on the
MVCA.
During a break in the meeting,
Mr. DesLauriers said that the
MVCA, if approached by the
Wingham authorities to take over
the lower -dam an& pond, would„
almost certainly decide not to re- '
build the dam. "I'm 99 and 44 one
hundredths per cent sure we

and also a letter concerning
sending parcels • to Angola.
There were thank -you notes

Hensall 4-H
The second meeting held
the
Hensall 14 H Club
Monday evening at the home of
Mrs. Bill Fuss. The meeting --
opened with the pledge followed
by the roll call "From ll your
personal analysis, ha
t
your activities are".
A title page was picked out
for Hensall I, but a name was
not decided upon. They also
discussed the colour and pat-
,
won't decide to ' repair it," he
said. He explained that a major
factor in the decision would be
the costs involved. Mr. DesLaur-
iers said that about 1$100,000 of
MVCA funds had already gone
toward dam and pond mainte-
nance in,the past, and that an es-
timated $18,000 alone would be
needed for engineering studies.
Cost estimates for dam repairs
were quoted at one million dol-
lars, with one estimate at
one -and -a -half million, he said.
An alternate suggestion for
about 90 per cent less cost than
repair would be a by-pass pond.
Mr. DesLauriers said the by-pass
pond would be just as effective in
that area and much more practi-
cal. He explained that if the
MVCA accepted ownership of the
•
area, it would obligate itself ,to
maintain the 15-20 acres involved
and that Authority ownership
could pave the way for grants for
landscaping and maintenance.
The MVCA motion puts the
onus for the fifist step onto the
Wingham authorities. The deci-
sion and responsibility have been
batted back and forth several
times since the original collapse
of the dam in May 1974, and are
now back in Wingham'$ territory.
