Doug Thompson, Milîoni's coordinalor utparks and facilities developmeni, explained ihai the ibrusi of is report was purely a staff recommendalion and was nul intended lu represent lIse sub-commitiee. Mr. Duignan said members of bis commitice f'eli tbey bad mnade a substantial concession by allowing a pari of' tbe pond lu remain uncut. Tbey made the change in deterence 10 Hallon Region Conservation Auîborily biologivi David Feallierslone, wbo iv con- cemned tIsai wiîboul Ilie vegelation iliere could be a problem willi algae. Mr. Featbersione defended is cati for a sballow cul, saying a cautious approacb was warranted. He con- ceded tbat there are so many variables it would be dif- ticult lu predicitIshe risk of algae, admitting il miglit nul happen at ail. Mr. Duignan calied tIse HRCA's position on tIse infestation and Iarvesiing "inadequale and erroneous" 1given tIhe situation aItIshe pond. He ealîed the current state of thie pond and the poli- cies wbicli brouglit il lu iliat "an unmitigaled disaster." He added Iliat old ideas, metbods and assumrplions "(The milfoil) is an extremely rapidly growing pestilence, a nightmare corne to life. Only equally aggressive control rnethods wil work." must lie suspect il tbey bave luîled iii produce a clean pond. "Pasi efforts and individuals bave lailed in ibis quest," lie said. "It is time to admit this and move on. Those thai will not do ibis must, and sbould, stand aside." Councillors saw two videos. One sbowed the pond as is, choked witb weeks and dangerously close to being converted into a marsb. The otber sbowed a Canada Day batbtub race frorn nearly 20 years ugo, witb people swimming and splasbing in the pond. Mr. Duignan spoke very litile during the iwo sileni videos, allowing the picture 10 carry bis message. "If a pieture is wortb a tbousand words then ibose piclures spoke volumes," Mill Pond sub-eommillee cbair Pat Duignan told counicillors. She said the Eurasian water milfoil, a weed wbicb is cboking the pond, is capable of growing une centime- ter per day and can develop to a total lengili of three meters. She said thse vegetalion stopped paddle huais from being used on the pond and makes fisbing impossible. "(TMe milfoil) is an extremely rapidly growing pesti- lence, a nigbtmare corne to life," se said. "Only equally aggressive control metbods will work. It grows su fast a surface cut is useless." see DREDGING on page 8 MY SISTER 'S CLOSET IT'S FINALLY Pi> IERf E!m BLOWOUT SALE!
