Fish property energy revolve around Julian Reeds dam The Acton Free Press Wednesday Nov 9 B7 Julian Reed letter to the Halton Police Commission in which he praised Georgetown con stables tor the efficient and courteous manner In which they handled crowds in the Nerval dam area during the Credit River salmon run MPP for Halton-BurUng- ton Reed says this letter Is a commentary on Issues which revolve around him and his family dam brings up three problems he has been wrestling with for three years Fish Property Energy Reed has been the butt of much criticism in magazines and newspaper columns Writers suggesthe is blocking plans for a unique Ontario fisheries experiment when he decided to repair the old dam so he can operate his own electric generating plant Much of what has been written has been pure hog wash Reed says Columnists and anglers have said his decision to repair the dam will block the progress of salmon and other sports fish to the unique spawning grounds In the Credit between Georgetown and Terra Since writers never bothered to check with him most are not aware he decided to go ahead with use of the old dam built In In January 1975 Ills the fourth dam on the sites the first being built around 1B20 Unknown to them he wrote to the Ministry of Natural Resources asking for plans for a fish ladder because he heard of the stocking pro gram on the Credit He wanted to make sure the fish were not stopped by his dam The Ministry refused to send any plans both then and on two subsequent occasions Reed said so he approached inventor Adrian Phillips for the design of his circular fish ladder He found it would have to be Installed and taken out again each year so he felt this could only be a final alternative However this summer he had a visit from Cotton of the Ministry Cambridge office who said if needed the Ministry would assume the responsibility for a fish ladder As recently as last Satur day Ken Irazawa deputy minister of the Ministry Natural Resources repeated his offer of a fish ladder for the Norval dam but also told Reed there were two schools of thought in the Ministry about the advisability of continuing the migratory fish program Some In the Ministry want to continue with migratory fish Others want to stick with brown trout which do not migrate and provide anglers with spectacular fishing If brown trout were rein troduced Into the river the dam would be a benefit rather than a hindrance to the plication of fish Until the Ministry decides what they are going to do the matter of a fish ladder is in limbo Reed declared He said the salmon program in the Credit is finished Originally introduced as part of the lamprey control program It has been found salmon can t reproduce In the Credit because of in Lake Ontario water Rainbow trout would be better than brown trout because they do not migrate from the Great Lakes reproduce well in the Credit Reed declares Reed says his contact the Ministry of Natural Resources predated any political involvement by a year and at the time the Critical Ontario Outdoors article appeared dam was not blocking fish from going Owns stream Reed also noted he owns a mile of the Credit River from the bottom of the Upper Canada College property through the village of to the bridge which spans Highway According to law he does not own the water but can take as much as is needed and pass it on Also accord the Credit is a navigable stream and every person who comes to fish on his property is trespassing He owns the land on both sides of the river He feels he has been lenient with trespassers despite the actions of some who litter his farm cut fences and perform other acts of vandalism Up to this point I have never turned away a person who asked permission to fish the stream Reed says but he notes only two out of about 3 ask He usually per mils them to fish on the stretch of water between the NOTICE OF INTENT The Council of Corpora Ion of The Town Us in land to

his machinery is turning over at his power source up from the Norval dam He says this equipment most of it taken from unused power stations will generate enough electricity to heat and light five houses The turbine below which turns the flywheel uses the waters of the Credit as a power source Reed will soon be using the dam again flooding the old pond area Warned that damming the river will warm the water and discourage fish Reed retorts the old pond used to have thick ice on it before sewage effluent both treated and untreated was dumped into the river He blames the effluent not the dam for warming the water two bridges in Norval Reed says there is all sorts of misinformation about access to streams such as the Credit but not written into the lav and does not pertain I haven prosecuted people to the point I could he acknowledges but if some performances by anglers continue he says he feels con strained to take a hard line He said he remains firm about keeping people off the dam because of the drowning tragedy which happened there lvoyears ago He notes he also has a certain amount of liability for anyone on his property His back has gone up because of insults directed at his family when they asked fishermen to lean up litter and stop digging in their flowerbeds for worms Heed acknowledges there is an element which feels no river property should be privately owned an attitude which prevails in some other countries of the world Canada He feels these people could express their point of view at the polls not to him He notes he has an to protect private pro perty and rights at the some time and can think of no better place to start than at home source The final and third part of Reed statement concerns energy Since he is energy critic for the Liberal party In the Legislature his interest in Canada renewable rt sources has expanded Generating his own power from the Credit has been a project at which he has worked for the past three years He notes the power created by the dam and his generating station is equal to 000 gallons of fuel oil each year The capability of the turbine he has installed is sufficient to light and heat five average homes at peak demand He views it same as having an oil well on the property only on a renewable basis Reed hopes lo light and heat his house with the unit and store the hydrogen gen crated for a vehicle being designed to accept it as fuel Reed and a friend Dave Carter look one day a week to look up turbines and generators for the installation on his farm The generator lit acquired weighs 6j tons and was once used to light the Town of Kincardine The turbine came from a closed feed mill near Tara Reed says the quality of the old equipment Is better than anything he could buy and also much less expensive as well as being more accept able speaking Nuclear power he notes gets only one kilowatt of energy for every two kilo watts wasted In the form of warm water in the Great Lakes Hydraulic povtr Reed notes creates a man made ecology which is far more benign and less dim to the An crisis No such animal according to Julian Reed lie said neither the government or the people understand the options available to them such as Methanol and developing hydro sites available in the province Only per cent or the potential hydro been developed he claims and It is the most reliable cheapest form of electrical power in existence It will operate as long as the rivers run he explains Reed says the is also beginning lo be rceep- to his overtures to old dams and hydro sites in the province He says there is as much as 1500 Appointed pools rep megawatts on existing sites which was worked out which is not being tapped a friend Expensive According to it takes to activate an old dam site Reed luughs noting It cost him only one tenth of that cost to electricity his site He has done all the work on the circular bulkhead himself with the aid of friends Visitors to the Reed residence often find themselves with shovels mixing cement or performing other tasks related installing the gen and turbine the design tie points to wooden teeth In a circular gear and notes they were Hay moll friend I had lots of help from my friends Dave Carter Kiel Another plus from the pet project I can tell where hundreds of old unused equipment Is located Heed for the of those who might be considering a similar project lie hopes have his system just as soon as he activates the old dam builds a shed around his equipment and strings a wire lo his house and barn to burn the Credit River provides A

business community was represented by a tlon at the New Directions symposium on downtown cores held at the Royal York Hotel at Toronto on ber l and 2 Cory Van Merkestein Grace Robertson Margaret Towler and Ed Wood at tended many of the panel presentations and workshops They were among the ap proximately people who took In the meetings Reports will be made by some of the representatives to town business people A pamphlet outlining the symposium states the reason for the gathering Is that there is a need among municipal officials local business people and the community at large for practical tion on how to recognize and resolve problems Mr Van had a mixed reaction to the sympo sium In an interview last week To me many of the things were useless while many other points confirmed my ideas he said Mr Van at tended three panel discus sions on administration and one on facilities and service he said One of his disappointments was the panel talk on the effects of energy on down town cores It was useless because they were talking about the amount of cars in the population which has nothing to do with develop ment Mr Van said On the other hand an panelist backed Mr Van s notion that residents should have been asked why Ihey shop else where The main point the man from Elm Ira made Mr Van said was that you can fix up the downtown as much as you want spend all kinds of money but your customer buys Inside the store the customer wants service friendliness and a I tractive stores Mr Van Merkestein said Regional Police are seeking a man believed to be living in the Acton area after the bookkeeper of the Canadian Tire Store received a bad cheque worth The man gave a Milton ad dress Another point which irked Tne iclea for the Mr Van Merkestein because came to tho
