Forest Users' committee backs off from suggested moritorium The Ganaraska Forest Users' Committee last Thursday night turned aside a proposal from their * chairman, Ron Bond, calling for a moritorium on All Terrain Vehicles and Motorbikes from their use of the forest for recreational purposes. Bond had called for the moritorium Happenings to be in force until such time as a study was completed determining the effects of damage through such use. ' The proposal gained little support support from committee members and Bob Mercer, a member of the committee committee and a representative of the • • • Canadian Motorcycle Association CM A, was quick to take up the attack attack against any moritorium.

Mercer further stated that the forest would be better protected by educating and working with bikers , and ATV users. He also won the support of the committee for a motion motion to block off access routes to~ areas that had suffered the worse damage, while trails are rerouted to other areas. Mercer offered to volunteer his time to have the CMA do remedial work in conjunction with the Ganaraska. Ron Bond said signs had been placed placed and areas blocked off for motorized use but that the areas were being penetrated. The chairman said he had concluded concluded that the best solution was to call for a moritorium after having visited the central area, an area which is banned to motorized vehicle vehicle use. Ulla Elliott, who represents the Ontario Federation of Naturalists gave the findings of the field trip in which she described areas which had been damaged. Mercer said that it was indeed a fact that the vehicles did move earth but they did not take it with them out of the area.

", . i Hydro emergency plan Durham Region has yet to give final approval to an emergency plan to be followed in case of an accident at the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station. With all hurdles completed the Regional Nuclear Emergency Task Force was unable to finalize their approval last Friday due to the lack of a quorum at the, end of the meeting. The Task Force has operated without a quorum for the past two meetings. Chairman Gary Herrema has been reported to state that he will take the matter to the joint committee committee of finance and administration to which the Task Force was to report. He said that the joint committee may want to take the issue over. Brian Nicholson, an Oshawa member on the task force, stated at the meeting that the plan was flawed flawed because it calls for evacuation of those people within a 10 kilometer radius of the Darlington plant. He said this did not include all of Oshawa and felt the emergency plan should include all of Oshawa and Whitby. The eastern boundary of 10 kilometers reaches to Wilmot Creek in Newcastle. Ken Reeves, co-ordinator of Emergency Preparedness Ontario has said that it has been recommended recommended that the zone be expanded to a 13 kilometer radius and this would then extend to take in all of Oshawa south of Taunton Road. He pointed oiit that the provincial cabinet has yet to give their approval approval for this change. Earlier this summer the plan was held up due to a dispute which has since been settled between Ontario Hydro and Newcastle as to firefighting and building permits. The AECB also said it had not had time to study all the implications as ' to the operating licence. The Town and Ontario Hydro came to turn mid September.
