Paula Copithorn, a resident of Heath Crescent, told council the study looking into the noise situation at Mother Jackson's Open Kitchens Limited, was "a waste of time and money" be- cause the operators of the plant were tipped off ahead of time . Mrs. Copithorn contends that as a result of this informa- tion, the factory was able to re- schedule its deliveries to the plant, thereby creating an unu- sually quiet day. "We have never experienced a quieter day than that," she told council. Township of Scugog Council voted in favor of having the in- dependent noise study conduct- ed after it received numerous complaints from the residents whose homes back onto the fac- tory. The residents claim they can- not enjoy their houses, and are often forced to stay inside, with the windows closed during the summer months, due to the noise from the factory's deliv- ery trucks and cooling fans. The study was to be conduct- ed on a random day by Vibra- tion Assessment Ltd. But it was revealed that approximately Killing bus service leaves area commuters stranded The provincial government has broken its election promise to supply commuter service to Toronto, says the Liberal transportation critic. Remo Mancini, M.P.P. for Essex South, says commuters in Peterborough and Durham Region have been "left strand- ed" by the provincial govern- ment's decision to kill plans for a bus service in the area. "First, the NDP broke its election commitment to extend GO rail service to Peterbo- rough and to expand service in Durham," he said in a press re- lease. "Now, commuters are told they can't even have bus service. Mr. Mancini was also critical of the NDP for failing to offer an alternative after quashing both the rail and bus services since it came to power. "(Premier) Bob Rae criticized the federal government for re- ducing VIA service in the Pe- terborough area and made a commitment to rectify the situ- ation," he said. "But the gov- ernment's commitments have SCUGOG'S COMMUNITY. NEWSPAPER OF CHOICE been broken and commuters have been left stranded by the government's inaction." Other groups also believe the NDP should honor its elec- tion promises, and intend to force the issue. Dave Lester, executive direc- tor of the Toronto- Peterborough Havelock Pas- sengers Association, says he finds it ."very disturbing" that Mr. Rae has broken his elec- tion promise. Mr. Lester says the NDP leader made the promise to the people a year ago, and the peo- ple voted for him on the basis of that promise. "I'm disappointed that Mr. Rae fails to honor his commit- ment," he said. "Mr. Rae should keep his election promise and give us a train." In announcing the decision on August 15, Transportation Minister Gilles Pouliot, said the cost for such a service was four times greater than origi- Turn to Page 3 A FAMILY TRADITION FOR 125 YEARS waste of tax dollars six days before the test Earl Cuddie, township clerk, noti- fied Tom Jermyn, president of Mother Jackson's, that the test was to be conducted. Mr. Cuddie defended his de- cision during a council meeting on Monday saying the industry was a taxpayer just the same as the residents of Heath Crescent were, and therefore felt it was fair to notify him of the test date. Mr. Cuddie added he has known Mr. Jermyn for many years and felt that he was hon- orable enough not to interfere with the tests.
