No flying when rural fur factory opens By Jacquie Mclnnes Staff Writer ORONO - Paula Lishman Ltd. is one step closer to building its Orono- area fur manufacturing facility, but there will be no fly-ins for the grand opening. Bill Lishman, acting as agent for the company, was given the go-ahead to build the earth-integrated building on a parcel of land zoned agricul- ture/environmcntal protection at an Ontario Municipal Board hearing, Monday. The hearing was cut short following agreements between those appealing the application and the company. However, no aviation activity will be allowed from the site as part of an agreement with local resident Linda Gasser, who appealed the company's application. The same agreement will allow the company to change the nature of the business from a fur garment factory factory to another single prestige use, if required. However, under the agreement, agreement, any change in business use will require a more thorough approval process than the Region and the municipality had already imposed. An Official Plan amendment amendment would now be required in addition addition to the already imposed zoning bylaw change, Ms. Gasser believes this will provide added protection for nearby Wilmot Creek, an important cold water tributary and for the area in general. "That means new uses (other than fur factory) can be examined examined and larger planning issues can be discussed than with only a bylaw amendment," she said.

Clarington's business community is celebrating its neighbour's good fortune fortune following an announcement that will bring more white collar jobs to Oshawa. There's optimism a new $20-mil- lion General Motors engineering engineering centre, announced Monday, could be the beginning of a high technology technology trend for the Region and the country. "This is something for Canada, not only for Clarington," Clarington," says Clarington Board of Trade President George Khouri, who is also a member of the Bow- manvillc BIA. "It puts us in a position to actually design as well as manufacture. manufacture. We welcome anything that comes to Durham. I'm happy for Oshawa, I'm happy for Durham and I'm happy for Canada." Mayor Diane Hamre thinks there could be a practical spin-off from the announcement for the municipality. "Those people could be ■buying homes in Clarington Clarington and shopping in Clarington," Clarington," she says. "In a regional system like we have, when one municipality municipality gets something, everybody everybody benefits." Arnold Bark first came to Canada from England to work on the Avro Arrow in the 1950s. His company Anshel Associates is an engineering consulting firm located in Bowmanville. Bowmanville. Mr. Bark says he has seen many young engineers engineers lured to the United States to better paying jobs after being trained here in Canada. "We just get them started started and, bingo, they get an offer from the other side of the border and they're gone," Mr. Bark says. He added that he hopes investments investments like this one will begin to reverse that trend. "It's the kind of thing we need," he says.
