\"I would say a fair number of things have been accomplished, but certainly a lot are works in progress,\" he said during a council committee hearing. \"We would like to revisit the plan. Land-use plans are useful, but they are most useful when current and up-to-date. A lot of the recommendations are fairly general ... and most that have been successful are in the downtown area with Fifth Third stadium and Huntington Arena.\" Some of the more general suggestions include \"preventing deterioration through code enforcement\" and \"improving the storm drainage systems\" in the Franklin Park Mall area in West Toledo. Residents offered ideas on traffic control, urban design, housing, shopping, parks, and public safety. The proposal revised Toledo's first comprehensive plan that was completed in 1952. Much of that plan was based on \"Toledo Tomorrow,\" a 19-month project from 1946-1947 sponsored by the late Paul Block, Jr., co-publisher of The Blade. At that time, the city was looking to expand its suburbs and its boundaries.

Lucas County's population decline ranked seventh among counties in the nation's 50 states. The estimate, from data as of July, 2011, shows that the metro area had 884 net fewer people last year compared with the 2010 numbers. The decline was driven by continued migration from Toledo; 3,375 residents left. This was tempered slightly by 409 new international immigrants and births of 8,101 that outpaced 6,047 deaths. The Census Bureau's methodology for their yearly estimates relies on historical trends, Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commission director Tom Lemon said. He suspected some of the declines in Ohio and Michigan metro areas may be overstated and ignore the auto industry's comeback. The bureau uses births and deaths to show natural population change and administrative records and survey data to estimate how many people have left and arrived in an area. Though still highly ranked in the nation as far as declines go, Mr. Lemon said he thought the data show the population in the metro area starting to stabilize. In coming years, he said he expects Lucas County's population losses to slow, and the metro area's population to begin to rise.

The public meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in the Lagrange branch of the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library, 3422 Lagrange St., and is part of an effort to update and expand the Toledo 20/20 land use plan, which isused as a guideline for zoning decisions. Although the original plan divided Toledo among its six City Council districts, the updated version will divide it into 25 neighborhoods, including the Lagrange neighborhood, said Tom Lemon, acting administrator of the Toledo-Lucas County Plan Commission. \"From what I've seen, I'm in favor of it,\" he said. \"I don't see anything that would really be controversial in there.\"

The 13-member body voted Monday to promote Mr. [Tom Lemon] as a replacement for Director Stephen Herwat when he retires Dec. 28. Mr. Lemon, 45, a city planner since 1987, was elevated to deputy director in November in anticipation of making him interim director.

[Dean Del Mastro] is part of a growing club of Conservatives investigated by police, including senators and a former staffer. Del Mastro is expected back in court tomorrow hoping for bail while he tries to appeal. The only comment from the Prime Minister's Office today: Mr. Del Mastro left caucus nearly two years ago and is being held accountable. [PETER MANSBRIDGE]? A big part of Del Mastro's old job was handling questions for the Prime Minister on issues like ethics and accountability. But today the judge said Del Mastro's decision to overspend more than 20,000 dollars on his 2008 election campaign and then try to hide it was \"an affront to the principles of our democratic system,\" adding: \"Cheating is cheating and in these circumstances, it displays a profound disrespect for democracy and the electorate.\" Just minutes before, Del Mastro had somehow managed a smile.

Mr. Lemon's children have as a group found considerable success in their own careers. Son Michael Lemon and daughter Mary Beth Crawford are both doctors, while [David Lemon] is a lawyer. Son Steve Lemon is vice president of engineering for a genetic testing company in California, and [Tom Lemon] has risen in Lucas County administration. Mr. Lemon's children attributed their success to their parents' focus on education, and their father's strong example. \"I think we owe a large part of our success to the role model that our father was,\" David Lemon said. Mr. Lemon is survived by his wife, [Betty], daughter Dr. Mary Beth Crawford, sons Dr. Michael Lemon, Tom Lemon, Steve Lemon, and David Lemon, sisters Marianne Lemon and Luann Worchuk, 14 grandchildren, and a great-grandson.

The two are accused of hiding a $21,000 payment from MP [Dean Del Mastro] to Holinshed Research, which conducted voter research and calling during his campaign. According to Mr. [Tom Lemon], MP Del Mastro's campaign expenses indicated Holinshed was only paid $1,575. He adds Mr. [Richard McCarthy] has allegedly reported the other transactions as errors from the campaign account.

\"Even when building permits have slowed down across the region, it was still booming in this area,\" said Clemens Mills principal Glen Sifton. Clemens Mills was built to accommodate only 498 students, said Mike Hearn, the board's superintendent of property. However, a semi- permanent addition containing six classrooms accommodating 180 students was added, along with a number of portables. \"We've said for the last two years that the second Clemens Mills school is the number one priority in the capital forecast,\" said Chris Smith, the board's manager of planning and transportation. \"There's no question we've got to get out there and address it.\"

The rarity of certain species of plants and animals in the lots is not the major issue, [Ted Cheskey] said: It's the preservation of the ridge as a green, natural heritage corridor, even at the expense of a private property owner's right to build there. In the report to the planning committee, senior planner Tom Lemon says staff contacted a dozen agencies, such as Waterloo Region, the Ontario Heritage Foundation and Carolinian Canada, about acquiring the wooded lots, which cover about 1.5 hectares (three acres). Lemon recommends allowing the developer, Brigadoon (Cross) Holdings Inc., to build two homes on the lots, but only under protective clauses in the subdivision agreement to control the cutting of trees and encourage planting that rehabilitates parts of the woodlot that have already been degraded.

When asked to comment on the exchanges that appear to be between himself and Frank Hall, president of Holinshed Research Group, the MP denied ever writing or receiving most of messages. Their content deals largely with a voter identification calling campaign Mr. Hall claims his company did for MP [Dean Del Mastro]'s 2008 campaign. The MP says he never hired Holinshed for the work, since his campaign opted to collect and update voter data in-house, through on-the-ground canvassing. During his second day on the stand on Thursday morning (July 10), the MP didn't falter as he pointed out a number of messages he's positive he didn't author. The messages include comments from MP Del Mastro, asking how the calling campaign is going, and comments from Mr. Hall, relaying back how many staff hours had been spent on the project in the company's call centre. In September, MP Del Mastro says he was asked to provide a deposit for the software. The cost was to be divided between MP Del Mastro's office and the electoral district association-- and neither wanted to pay before the software was delivered. So, MP Del Mastro testified he wrote a personal cheque, expecting he'd get the money back.
