(Photo by Svela) Council Seeks public opinion on dam The fate of the Brussels dam was the major topic of discussion at Brussels council, April 4. Although council feels the dam should receive major repairs. a public meeting will be held Monday evening. April 11. in the library, at 8:00 p.m, to present a proposal to the residents. Chairman of the Maitland Valley Conser- vation Authority. Dave Gower: Brussels representative to the Authority, Bruce McCall and Brian Howard. Resources Man- ager of the Authority attended the meeting to outline three proposals to council. Mr. McCall said the Authority passed a motion that an engineer's report on the structure be accepted. "We finally have two fellows here to talk about the dam." He explained if the project is to be successful and funding is available from various government grants."then Brussels must be a co-sponsor with the Authority . to raise the proper funding. Now is the hour. if something isn't done, it will be good day to the Brussels dam." Explaining the present structure is in a crumbling condition, Mr. Howard said a stipulation of the protince when the authority , purchased the dam in 1971 was there would be no construction to the dam for 10 years. "That has since lapsed." He noted that presently due in part to severe economic restraint, it is difficult to obtain grants for restoration of small dams. As an alternative, funding is available through employment programs. The gravity type darn, approximately 400 feet long, is in a crumbling state and the mill pond has filled with silt causing shallow The Brussels Atoms par- on Saturday morning against 1-0 lead, and held that lead against Normanby.

She said, "A volunteer is a communicating link between the residents and the rest of the community." The goals of a volunteer are: to give residents mo- ments of happiness and an interest in life; to give them a belief. for those who have' no close 'family members, that someone is interested in them: to stimulate their in- terest in the outside world and to keep them informed and interested in community events; to restore the resi- dent's faith in herself or himself - in his or her own dignity and worth; to reas- sure him or her that he or she is still a member of the community and is not forgot- ten; to help residents make will be assessed after that the most of those abilities time and hopefully the pro - they still possess, to help gram will start up again to attain a feeling of achieve- September if enough interest ment, no matter how small; to is shown. water. • 1 he dant is now much like an earth -filled dike," Mr. Howard explained. Outlining the three alternatives, Mr. Howard says the first is a "do nothing approach. The majority of the dam will stand but it will crumble and leaks will develop. exposing the silt. 1f nothing is done. the dam will disappear, silt will be carried downstream and the beauty of the dant will be lost. He noted the darn provides only minimal flood control. "It has no great effect on major flooding. The only other benefits are of a recreational nature or as water storage during drought periods." IMPOSSIBLE True restoration of the dam is impossible due to advanced deterioration. The second proposal was a new structure. The new dam would have two spillways and the remainder would be of a simple gravity concrete weir. Compared to a similar construction in Eastern Canada, estimated cost to replace the complete dam would be $500.000. The third proposal was ail artificial island' approach. Basic construction would be of an earthen dam featuring a clay liner. "We could build upon what has already been deposited by Mother Nature," Mr. Howard said. "A walkway would be retained and a new spillway constructed." Gabion baskets and turfstone would be installed to resist erosion. Although a double spillway would be ideal, one would be sufficient if cost is an object. The cost of each spillway is approximately $175.000 and suggested cost of the small island is approximately $80.000. Please turn to page 7 Pollard, alifornia, when he was 92.
