Peter Hvidsten Port Perry Star Removal of the golf course from the Canterbury Common adult lifestyle project could result in the developers having to go back to square one. That was the message Bob Thiessen of Promittere Man- agement Ltd. was delivered when he attended a planning session of Scugog council Monday afternoon. Mr. Thiessen approached council to explain the current status of the Canterbury Com- mon project, which has been stalled since the termination of the developers last September. He said that an agreement has been executed and a settle- ment paid to Quorum Develop- ment, the former developers. "We now want to move the project ahead with a much speed as possible," he said. But before the project can get underway, council must Council not happy with removal of golf course, fell on deaf ears, as members of council were adamant they wouldn't approve the plan without full public input. Councillor Marilyn Pearce said it would be unfair to the public and purchasers if the plan was changed this drasti- cally in mid-stream. "I will not support removal of the golf course without full public input," she said. Councillors Joyce Kelly, Ken Gadsden, and Doug Moffat all echoed the same sentiment. "This is not the original plan with a revision, it's a brand new plan," Mr. Moffat said. Clerk Administrator Earl Cuddie said the township may not have a legal obligation to bring the project back to the public, but they do have a mor- al obligation.

Machine wrecked as thieves flee police By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star Snowmobile thieves wrecked one machine and made off with another after fleeing from police in Caesarea last week. Residents of a home on Centre St. in Caesarea phoned police when they heard their two 1991 Polaris snowmobiles started up and driven off around 2:30 a.m. Jan. 11, police said. An officer was dispatched to the scene and as she approached Caesarea on Durham Rd. 57 saw a machine matching the description of the stolen snowmobile heading in her direction. The officer gave pursuit and the snowmobile veered off Rd. 57 east onto Prout Rd., police said. The officer gave chase but was hampered by slippery road conditions and lost the suspect. The officer turned around and headed back on Durham Rd. 57 and came upon one of the machines in the ditch, police said. It had been rolled, and its windshield was smashed. Ignition wires had been torn out to start the machine. At the Centre St. home the officer found bolt cutters had been used to cut chains on the machines. Value of the snowmobiles was $5,500 each, police said. Police are also investigating the theft of a Ski Doo machine from Edinborough Dr. in Port Perry. That theft was reported around 5 p.m. Thursday (Jan. 12), police said.
