Lis es ar te ng al a "A Family Tradition for 126 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 23, 1992 - 3 Helicopter school's future up in the air after being grounded The future of a helicopter fly- ing school on Scugog Island is up in the air after the Federal Department of Transportation grounded it recently. The school has been using the island as a site for training ses- sions. Neighbors recently com- plained of the noise, forcing the Transportation Department to move in. The school currently has four students, all from other coun- tries, who are at various stages in obtaining their licenses. They could all pass the required tests by July 11. But it appears their future is up in the air after learning the school had been shut down. But at a session of the Town- ship of Scugog Planning Com- mittee on Monday, members of the committee were sympathet- ic to the problems of the stu- dents. "Once again innocent people are the victims in this," said township clerk Earl Cuddie in reference to the four student pi- lots. In a close vote the committee agreed to let the school continue operating until July 11, the date the final pilot would be licensed, before ordering the school to close. The issue will be voted on dur- ing a council meeting on June 29. Study would cost $6,000 From Page 1 ed with the overall economic, so- cial, and environmental policies. With this in mind, the policy statement recognizes the need to promote all of the feature at- tractions in Scugog which could draw tourists to the area. These include Town Hall 1873, Palm- er Homestead and Monument, Bigelow House and Autohenge, as well as the tourist standards such as Scugog Shores Mu- seum. "There's so much more to Scu- gog than Scugog Shores Mu- seum," Councillor Pearce said stressing the need to promote all the attractions in Scugog. The statement also suggested that "promoting and catering to tourist sporting events can gen- erate revenue for additional publicservices." To this end Councillor Pearce proposed the Parks and Recrea- tion Committee undertake the drafting of a master plan for Scugog Centre, a major recrea- tional complex featuring a sec- ond ice pad, indoor pool, com- munity hall and future recreational facilities. Councillor Pearce estimates that by building the first phase of the project, a community hall, the fees from the rental will pay for other portions of the project. "We can't sit and continue to wait until we have all the money in the bank," she said. This plan, which would be partially funded by a grant from the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation, would outline a schematic concept of the facility and detail site servicing and zoning requirements. Councillor Pearce estimated the study would cost approxi- mately $6,000, funded 50 per cent by the Ontario Govern- ment with the remainder com- ing from the committee's re- serve fund. Ward 4 Councillor David Dietlein expressed concern about the proposal, however. Due to the present economic cli- mate, he said council should hold off spending the money. "We are nowhere out of the woods yet," he said. He noted that by going ahead with the plan the township would be sending a message to all the concerned residents that they were "insensitive to peo- ple's feelings." But others disagree. Area Councillor Harvey Graham says the time to plan for the fu- ture is now. "I don't believe we must go into a shell because of the reces- sion," he said. Mayor Howard Hall also threw his support behind the proposal noting that by prepar- ing the plan they were sending a message to the user groups and the public that they were "plan- ning for the future." Township council will discuss the matter at a meetingon June Canada Day celebrations in Palmer Park on July 1 Palmer Park will once again be the site for a spectacular fire- works displayon July 1. Canada Day celebrations will get underway at 8:30 p.m. with entertainment at the park. The fireworks display will follow at approximately 9:45 p.m. Several organizations have donated money to the event in- cluding the Knights of Colum- bus, the Rotary Club of Port Perry, the Port Perry Lions Club, Port Perry Odd Fellows, the Township of Scugog and the Business Improvement Area. To offset the high expense of the fireworks the Scugog Cham-. .ber of Commerce will be accept- ing donations during the fire- works display. Come join in the fun and cele- brate Canada's 125th birthday. For your own personal comfort please bring lawnchairs and blankets. During the day, residents are invited to enjoy a Canada Day barbecue hosted by the Central Seven Association. The barbecue will be held from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. at the Latcham Centre. Prices for adults is $7 and children 12 and under are $4. Advance tickets are available for the barbecue by calling Cen- tral Seven at 985-8611. Decision on fire chief delayed Selection of a part-time chief for Scugog's two fire halls will be delayed, says Mayor Howard Hall. Originally plans had called for the position to be filled by July 1, but Mayor Hall says this will not be the case. It 1s now likely a decision will not be made until sometime in the fall. Mayor Hall says co- ordinating the screening pro- cess has delayed the selection. The township is also waiting for additional information from the Fire Marshal's Office. A meeting of the Fire Com- mittee will be held this week to set the process in motion. Outside involvement in the selection will be encouraged to "make the process as fair as pos- sible." Experienced people will be consulted, he said. Council made the decision to appoint a part-time chief to oversee both the hall in Port Perry and the hall in Caesarea after it was decided that a full- time position was notin the bud- get. a " Cd bv Nee Settlement House Shops S18) GSI DRI SOI VSR Co) vs Lj) 13} to audnisn mn all our shops! 183 Queen St., Port Perry 985-8234 Selected chair pads or placemats 50% off chairs Metal ice cream parlour chairs, tables & baker racks reg. $1 29 Sale $40 tables, reg. $300 Sale $75 Bakers racks up to 75% off Trisha Romance Prints 1/3 off ed T.G.
