Attempts by Oshawa re- presentatives on Durham Regional Council to delay consideration of the region's first official plan failed at a special meeting last week . when Regional Council re- jected a motion to send the plan back to the planning and development committee and a motion to table the plan for a month. The motion by Oshawa Coun, Jim Potticary to table the plan for one month was' defeated 14 to 12. Erin is one of many who have Eight of the nine Oshawa regional councillors at the meeting voted to table the plan with only Ald. Coun. Alan Dewar voting against the motion. Oshawa city council had voted at a special meeting Monday to encourage its regional representatives to table the planning-document until local municipalities and their planning staff had time to a better chance to study the plan. Region council this morn- registered for Moms and a dN Tots swimming lessons at the Poplar Park pool. That's Tanya Mappin in the background. She's a veteran of the course from last vear, and finds the cool water too much fun to feel sympathy for cousin Erin. Oshawa fails to block official plan ing started hearing the first of 17 delegations on the plan after the motions to table and refer back were rejected. At Monday's city council meeting, Oshawa Planning Director Keith Birch pre- sented a report to council which calls the plan "highly complicated and confusing to both the lay person and the professional.' ; "It-seems ludicrous for a plan that is going to be in effect for the next 15 to 20 years and we've been given only two working days to comment on it,"" Mr. Birch said. Ald. Mike Lisko pointed out that the city has not had enough time to "assess the full impact of the plan on our municipality'. Ald.

John Lee, project manager of the LIP project, said there are literally hundreds of miles of recreation trails in the region. Mr. Lee, with 12 helpers, det out late last year on the -Scenic Tours for the Region of Durham project, armed with a federal grant of $39,450. and a goal of work- ing out at least two tours in each member municipality. The project covered some 24,000 miles during a 30 week work period, resulting in laying out on the ground of the two dozen trails. . But Mr. Lee issued a caution to the region's social services committee, when he outlined the program, that if these trails are not developed Craft show at museum The second in the sum- mer-long series of crafts exhibits and demonstration at Scugog Shores Museum will be held this Sunday with Mrs. Sandy Sinclair demon- strating needlepoint. The exhibit and demonstration will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Museum officials reported a good turnout for last Sun- day's rug braiding demon- stration by Mrs. Ray Smith. within a period of 10 years they will lose out to developers who are grabbing 1p open space lands at a -apid pace. Only a few miles of trail that the group has uncovered are marked or mapped. No trails have been designated for any certain type of trail use, the project manager pointed out. He explains the type of trails people in groups use involved hiking, horse back riding, bike trailing or cross- country skiing. Obviously, he said, these groups do not mix and, therefore, four special classification of trails would be set up. He expressed a *'compre- hensive need' for develop- ment of the trails, plus a need for government action in implementing the plan. His report states: "Trails should be established in conjunction with the develop- ment of a regional parks system making use of urban separations, linear parks, green belts and recreational corridors." "'The Oak Ridges Moraine should be maintained as much as possible as a green belt area. Its potential for trails is a great asset for the region. In addition the river valleys flowing south from the ridge plus the Nonquon and Beaverton River Valleys should be considered for linear parks and for trails." The job potential of creating these trails c ould be in the neighborhood of 800 to Sue's champ again Sue Gribben Jhas done it again. In what the pretty Port Perry blonde called 'some of the toughest competition I've ever come up against," Sue came up the winner in al 12 of the Judo matches she had to fight to receive the United States Janior Nation- al Championship. The U.S. National Youth and Junior Competitions were held at Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday and Sunday. The competition involved some 400 girls, the best that Mexico, the United States and Canada had to offer. For Sue, the competition was another in a series that will prepare her for the 1980 Olympics in Moscow, which she has every intention of attending. Perhaps the "tough" U.S. event provides a glimpse at how well she'll do. "It wasn't easy--no push- over," she said. Her last, championship fight was against a Massachusetts girl, and it took a judges decision to name Sue the victor. Sue's hectic schedule of physical fitness and practice will continue, however. The next competition is in Arizona this September. cts tm atstsaind dunindond diac d wm SE CAA -. Ye AGT, re SE % ! [ § v i 3 Ks 3 2 bw ¥
