A = 2 RE = = 6- PORT PERRY STAR - Thursday, December 28, 1995 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Editorial Comment A council resolution A suggested New Year's resolution for Scugog council: Stop the hedging, and get on with the major developments that remain on the township's books. Right now one can think of at least three major projects, all of which would have benefits for the township, and all of which remain in some state of limbo. In some cases, it's not the township's fault; in others, it would seem there's too much talk and not enough action, so that one begins to question the commitment of our council. Here's a look at some of them: a Canterbury Common: Hailed at a gala grand opening more than a year ago as a boon to the community, the subdivision for independent seniors at Port's north edge met with hard times during a falling-out among business partners. The situation was exacerbated when developers attempted to remove a golf course from the site plan. Now it's back on the table, and we hope a site plan is struck quickly.

PHOTO COURTESY SCUGOG SHORES MUSE On Monday, Dec. 18 at approximately 5:20 p.m., our six month old German Shepherd pup was killed in front of our home on Shirley Road in Port Perry. The woman who hit him with her car (and I say woman because she was iden- tified as such by a witness) did not pull over, or even slow down. The reason I am writing this letter is to let people know what a cowardly act this is. I do not blame the woman for hitting him. Dogs will be dogs, and accidents happen. What I do nizing death in the middle of the road. Had she stopped, she wouldn't have ever had to look at the dog, but just knock on our front door and inform us of the accident so we could end our dogs' suffering. Apparently she lacked the courage to do even this much, or maybe she had such a disregard for an animal's suffering that she didn't find it worth her while. I guess only she knows the answer.
