Ian Deslauriers, resource manager for the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority said last week that the flood plain map may be registered by the end of the year. Once the map is registered, the. Conservation Authority has the power to control all development on the flood plain, which includes a large portion of the village of Brussels. Reeve Jack McCutcheon said he'd like to wait for facts and figures before council does anything. He said a federal MP contacted the director of the Conservation Authority in Toronto. "We are satisfied with his explanation that we have time to study the proposal and make our objections", Reeve McCutcheon. said. Charles Thomas, ex-reeve of Grey Township and landowner in the Brussels area has called a meeting on behalf of • other interested citizens for Thursday, May 22 to discuss the flood plain map. Mr. Thomas said a group of landoWners set up the meeting because "we were concerned that the flood plain mapping would be passed before we had an opportunity to have some public input." He said Ian Deslauriers was invited to the meeting. Mr.Thomas said the purpose of the meeting is to find out how much power the Conservation Authority has and how the public can participate. Mr. Thomas said he hopes people other than those with property on the flood plain will attend the meeting because it will affect everyone. Those above the flood plain will have to pay increased taxes due to the loss of buildable lots, he said. He said "there should be some local input," on whether this map should become law. Although Mr. Deslauriers explained that the time to protest was before the map was done, Mr. Thomas said: "We had no way to know ahead what it would reveal." He said it seems that no study should become law without public scrutiny. Thursday's meeting, he said, is an information meeting, and if those present decide further action is needed then a committee can be established on a more formal basis: Reeve McCutcheon said it Wasn't a municipal meeting but agree the meeting should be held whether it is this Week or next is immaterial." He said the criteria for establishing the flood plain is "too severe". "I would be quite opposed to people building on the flood i plain but what I feel is the flood plain and, what they think it is, can be two different things," he said. Councillor George Juitzi said "a lot of ratepayers are up in arms," but he added he doesn't live on the flood plain. He said he thought the Conservation Authority had more authority than anybody gave them or anybody thought they had. When asked what he thought council should -do, he said: "I think the council as a whole should decide what to do. Let's face it they don't have to use the hurricane-hazel level flood." On whether this would mean a loss of power, for the council, Councillor Jutzi said "I'm just beginning to think we're just a The urge that motivates many people at this time of year has attacked young and old alike, the urge to cast a line into waters Where fish may be caught.

Huron County sets their levy and now the Authority is drawing up a map to tell us what to do," he said. He said he thought council should do something but first it has to find out what its options are. When Councillor Harold Bridge was asked what he thought of the flood plain map he said: "Tell them to take it back to the drawing-board and come up with something sensible." Ken Tyerman, who was in the same room endorsed this by (Continued on Page 11) amateurs as well.' Recently we have noticed that there are young people in Our village who are interested in tenniS.
