Council recently learned of a helicopter flying school, in which four foreign students were enrolled, was operating from Pine Point Road on the Is- land. It was brought to the at- tention of the township after residents complained of the noise. During a recent Planning Committee meeting, members of the committee expressed con- cern that the four members would lose the opportunity to The lawyer representing a lo- cal motorcycle club says a court case involving his clients could set a precedent. Bryan Davies, legal counsel for the Paradice Riders, who op- erate a clubhouse in Caesarea, says a court case scheduled for July 15 in Whitby could set the tone for similar cases across the country.

They vot- ed to allow the school to remain open until the four students completed the necessary tests in mid-July. But new information brought to council's attention in the past week reveals that the students are able to take the course and complete the tests at another airport such as Lindsay.

Bill Meek from the Michael Stuart Group. which is propos- ing a major development on the Conway property at Highway 7A and Water Street, says sig- nificant tax dollars would be generated if the plan is ap- proved. Mr. Meek is representing a group of developers proposing a retail and residential develop- ment on the property. The plans call for 138,000 square feet of lakefront residential units, as well as 88,000 square feet of commercial space including five "triple A" tenants. Mr. Meek told members of Scugog Council that once com- pleted the development could generate as much as $500,000 to $600,000 in taxes per year, as well as $400,000 in additional levies. He also estimated that it would create 170 to 300 full- time jobs. The project could begin this fall if the necessary amend- ments to the bylaw are ap- proved. Mr. Meek says occupan- cy of the retail components could be as early as Spring 1993. The residential units would de- pend on market demand. This newest, in a long series of proposals, was first presented to the Planning Committee on June 22. Mr. Meek and his group appeared before council on Monday to formally present the scheme. Letters to the editor Disgusted by driving display To the Editor: Being an avid race car fan, you can't imagine how excited I was to find out that Dave Taylor was invited by Peterborough Speedway to race in a Open In- vitational Late Model Special. Dave's home track is Mosport and I enjoy watching him race there every Saturday night. Be- fore he started racing at Mos- port he raced at Peterborough Speedway for many years. {This track is not new to him}. He has put a lot of money and time into his car to make it look good and go fast. On June 28 I was disgusted with what I would call a demoli- tion derby at Peterborough Speedway. It was quite obvious that the home boys didn't like somebody from another track to be on theirs. Even during warm-up laps Dave and one other driver were the only ones on the track, and the other driv- er felt obligated to re-design the rear quarter of Dave's car. It was quite obvious that this was not an accident. Needless to say, after 70 of the 75 laps Dave was forced to leave the track because there was so much damage done to his car. {At this point he was in fourth position running with the leaders). Mystery Congratulations to the Baird Family! There is a new son for Kerry and Kenton Baird. Too a new grandson for Roberta and Hugh Baird. How proud they are. The baby boy made his ap- pearance at the Fort Perry Community Hospital Sunday morning, June 28. The Baird Family heard the good news at the "Baird Family I can't believe that all this in- tentional damage was done to a car and nobody was black flagged. Maybe the flagmen were tired from their night of racing the night before and were catching 40 winks. I know one thing, Dave Tay- lor will never race at Peterbo- rough Speedway again, and I will never be a spectator again. I don't enjoy spending $13 to watch such unsportsmanlike conduct. Yours truly, 1. Sackett, Nestleton. Need to speak out loud and strong To the Editor: I attended the meeting on Monday, June 22, 1992 at the Town Hall in Port Perry orga- nized by Scugog Citizens for the Environment to inform area leaders about the dump sites proposed for the area south of Manchester and Prince Albert. Although I believe what the group is trying to do is neces- sary, I also believe we need to speak out loud and strong against these proposed sites. If you have seen the news and read the papers you would see that other proposed sites have staged demonstrations, marched on Queen's Park and even attacked the environment minister.
