Bill Lishman focus of "] Witness Video" show By Scott Anderson Po Pe Star Viewers of "I Witness Video" will be able to witness "the reali- zatian of a childhood dream" when they tune 'into the pro- gramin the fall. And the "childhood dream" we will be witnessing is the sto- ry of Purple Hill resident Bill Lishman, said Field Producer Carolyn Redford. The film crew from NBC were at Mr. Lishman's residence last week to shoot the episode. The focus of the interview, scheduled to runin the fall,ison Mr. Lishman's project to fly his ultra-light plane with Canadian pe Geese which he has raised. It will focus primarily on his popular video documenting this project entitled "C'mon Geese" which he filmed in 1988. The show will include segments of the video and interviews with various people attached to the project. Mr. Lishman's video has re- ceivedinternational acclaim. According to Ms. Redford,"I Witness Video" is a weekly show in which the subjects tell their life stories in their own words. The show runs Sunday nights and each segment is usually six to 12 minutes. Mr. Lishman told the Port. Perry Star last Thursday that he has been "overwhelmed" by the coverage he has received in the past few months concerning his project. (The Star published a two-part feature on Mr. Lish- man in May.) "I was a little overwhelmed (by the popularity)," he con- fessed. "It seems to capture peo- ple's imagination more than ex- cted." Although this project has been in the works for a number of years, it was not until a recent article in the Washington Post that the media has been flock- ing to profile Mr. Lishman. Since then he has been be- seiged with requests for inter- views with CNN, CBS This Morning and 20/20. "We're getting pretty good coverage of it," said Gerry Co- WILD WILLY'S e Western Wear ° "Spittin' Distance" from KooKoo Bananas Shirts, Accessories Vv f » Nacona © Boulet ¢ Dingo « Canada West « Acme Dan Post « Wrangler ¢ MWG ¢ Country Shirt Design Roper * Stetson ¢ SmithBilt « Australian Outback 1801 Dundas St. E., Whitby, K-Mart Plaza Boots, Hats, Bolo Ties, (416) 432-WILD (9453) chrane who serves as Mr. Lish- man's publicist. But the coverage is some- thing which Mr. Lishman wot much rather defer. "I'm so tied up with the goose project that this is alittle bitof a diversion," Mr. Lishman said. "I would have liked to get the pro- ject off the ground first." Despite the interruptions, Mr. Lishman said the project i is advancing. The geese are just beginning to fly and are presently school- ing around the Purple Hill area. One plane is operational and he is workingon a second. He will also be mieeting short- ly with officials from the Atlan- tic Fly Way Council to get per- mission to fly the geese to Virginia -- the aim of the project. The actual flight is expected to take place in October. ® Happy 1st Birthday Alina Lowe July 23, 1993 Love Mom, Dad, Danielle, Matthew & Ryan \ Port busy toget to... Pex | fuyltodduits...
