Vol. 130 No. 08 PORT PERRY, ONTARIO - TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1996 Scugog changes position on plan 'By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star Scugog Township Council has changed its recommendations regarding the Lishman propo- sal in North Nestleton, leaving the governing ofthe use of ultra- light aircrafts up to the federal government. The proposal was addressed 'at a meeting of the planning committee Monday: Previously council passed a resolution stat- ing it would only allow the per- sonal use of the airfield to Mr. Lishman. ' Neighbors, who are objected to the proposal were satisfied with the prévious stand, and feel council has now broken a promise to the residents. However, Mr. Lishman did not want the property restricted to his use and was to have a "fly- ing club" with some friends. While Mr. Lishman insists that the aircraft should not bother anyone, neighbors are concerned about the constant noise at all hours of the day. Township Council will go back to Regional Council with the stance that the aircraft should be regulated by the fed- eral government. Ward 2 Councillor Ken Car- ruthers put forward a motion that council's stance remain as it was, but he only garnered sup- port from Ward 1 rep Doug Mof- fatt. Council was reluctant to set any rules on flight patterns, times of flight or who can fly on the property, because they can- not enforce them. Only federal regulations can enforce the laws once the ultralights are in flight. Scugog Council said they are still behind the project, but do not want to set any rules that they cannot enforce. x aby Think It Over By Jeff Mitchell Port Perry Star She weighs 11 pounds, has cute little wrinkled feet and hands, and snuggles comfort- ably in a jumper and a car seat. She also requires constant attention, fusses when left lying on her stomach, and is given to crying spells in the middle of the night that could mean she's hungry... or some- thing else. This is Baby Think It Over. And she's a doll; really. Durham Region's public board of education has acquired six of the lifelike dolls, and is now formulating a plan for their use and distribution comes to Durham among students who might be thinking about having chil- dren, or want hands-on life skills experience with children. Designed and built in the United States by a former rock- et scientist, the dolls simulate virtually all aspects of parent- hood, including midnight feed- ings, travel with an infant, and the sometimes inexplicable crying spells with which par- ents must cope. The doll -- the edition in cir- culation as of now has been named Jessie -- will be used first by students in the Durham board's Supervised Alternative Turnto Page 14 ", Elegance, power & style... = what more could anyone want?
