It wasn't quite a flawless flip, but darn close. In fact, Port Perry can now claim it is the site of the world's largest Vol. 119 No. 33 pancake fhp. The event took place Saturday in Palmer Park, the highlight of a very successful Festival Days weekend, and a crowd estimated at more than 2000 looked on as a - team of six cooks fried up 100 pounds of batter, eggs and milk in a seven foot pan, and then flipped Tuesday, July 16, 1985 40 pages The former owner of a Port Perry video store wants a full investigation into the case in which he was convicted and fined $500 for distributing two obscene videotapes. In a July 8th letter to Ontario Attorney General lan Scott, Jim Hoffman, 28, laid the blame for his convictions at the feet of distributors, on whom he relied to tell him what films were legal and what weren't. "I feel that I should not have such a record (Cir- culation of Obscene Material). because of the negligence of the distributor," he wrote '1 would appreciate a full investigation into this case.' He also asked the At- torney General for assistance in his fight against the convictions, and an interview, "as mentally and physically this has become such an exhausting ordeal for my wife and I, and we don't know where else to turn." In a Whitby courtoom June 20, Judge William Lane registered convic- tions on two tapes, "I Spit On Your Grave' and "Snuff," as well as ac- quittals on 13 others. The sentencing put an end to a marathon stretch of trial dates that begun when Durham Regional Police raided Village Video in December 1983 and seized 15 tapes, ac- ting on a complaint from a woman who works at the Scugog Crisis Centre In the letter Mr. Hoff- man wrote, "Approx- imately one month Council hears plan for condo A proposal for an 18 unit condominium building was introduced to Scugog Township council Monday afternoon Alex Shepherd, a Port Perry accountant told the ¢ouncil meeting he wo 1 like to construct the wo storey building on a 31 acre parcel he owns across from the Scugog Library on Water Street Mr Shepherd onginal- lv had plans to put up a health and fitness facili- ty on the property. but he said Monday that exten sive market research in- to that project indicated it might not be viable from a financial point of view He said constructing the 18 unit condominium would be the best type of use for the property ast is central to the downtown core of Port Perry Fach of the units vould be about 1500 square feet and retail in the $125,000 range He said the umts would be top quahty and luxurious The building. if ap proved. would cover about one third of the land area. and the rest of the property would be (Turn to page 8) Video owner asks for investigation before the charges were laid an officer entered my store and produced a (Turn to page 2) it in one piece, or almost one piece. The team had a slight bit of trouble at the most crucial point in this world record attempt, just when the giant pan was being rotated. There was a hesitation, some of the batter leak- ed out, and this resulted in a corner of the huge pancake breaking off. But that didn't stop the team of Elgin Knopp, Wayne Luke, Peter Hvidsten, Earl Cuddie, Harold McDonnell of Golden Griddle, and pan- cake flip captain Jack Cottrell. They were claiming the world's record pan- cake flip, and with the feat on video tape, will apply to have it put into the Guiness Book of Records. Preparation for this at- tempt began more than a month ago with construc- tion of a specially design- ed seven foot steel pan, complete with lid. More than 200 pounds of charcoal was used for an even heat, and the batter to fill the pan weighed close 100 pounds, including "six dozen eggs, 27 litres of milk, six litres of butter- milk and the flour from Golden Griddle. Once the pancake had baked on one side to just the right texture, the cooking team hoisted the pan onto a stand, put on the lid and with a great deal of effort, flipped the whole works over. And they pulled it off, much to the delight of the crowd, many of whom snapped up pieces of the giant pancake to take home as souveniers. "We felt we had about an 80 per cent chance of success,' said team member Peter Hvidsten later. "We lost a bit of it, but still consider the world record pancake flip has been established here in Port Perry," he stated. He added that a week earlier when the team went through a practise run, the results had been a disaster, and there were a lot of changes made in the flipping technique in the days leading up to Saturday's attempt. "The whole event took less than 15 minutes from the time the batter was first poured into the giant pan to the flip and the final cooking. The world record flip capped off a real "*Pan- cake Morning' In Palmer Park that at tracted huge crowds. The Golden Griddle Pan- cake breakfast served more than 2,500 people, most of whom stood pa- tiently in a long line for (Turn to page 2) They've flipped! Nobody was hapnier about the flip than team members Peter Hvidsten, Earl Cuddie, Jack Cottrell, Elgin Knopp, Harold McDon- nell and Wayne Luke. It took a lot of planning, money, muscles and headaches but by the looks on these boys' faces, you know it was worth it. Port Perry, welcome to the Guiness Book of World Records!
