"Are some things worth saving?"

Fellow neighborhood advocate James "Jay" Bowen asked me this question: "Are some things worth saving?"

Jay said, "This is a picture of the dam and the old Howell's Mill near Ona, WV. The building structure appears to be sound and the dam has been there for decades. However, it has been allowed to deteriorate and many of the components have been taken. There is a large buildup of debris above the dam. A lot of dams such as this have been removed throughout the country to allow for free-flow of the waters and fish migration. This section of water has produced some very large Musky, good sized largemouth bass, and many catfish among others. There is easy access to this site but limited parking. What, if anything, do you think should be done?"

I'm going to have to think about this one. Anybody else have ideas?
