Medical calls still outnumber fires: chief
Paul Smith, one of Eric Smith’s sons, points to a lot
where his father was born, during a ceremony
Monday night when the Rotary Club of Aurora
honoured the long-time Rotarian with a planted
tree and a plaque in the Town Park. The house
on
Metcalfe
Street
no
longer
exists.
A reception followed the event at Backyard Pool
and Spa, owned by another of Eric’s sons, Don.

The number of emergency
calls received and responded to
by the Central York Fire Service
for Aurora and Newmarket
increased between 2008 and
2009, according to Fire Chief
Ian Laing.
Chief Laing presented his
findings recently.
"Our emergency responses
have actually gone up slightly
over 2008, we're just under
4,700 incidents last year," he
said. "This shows the trend over
the past three years...and we
have gone from about 4,300
calls to just under 4,700.
The bulk of these calls, however, were not necessarily firerelated, he added.
"Medical incidents still are
the number one response that
we go to [at] 56 per cent," he
explained.
Fire-related calls - broken
down into several categories
including fire, pre-fire, burning,
and false alarms - account for
24 per cent of the total incidents
responded to.
"False alarms are something
we go to believing it is a fire until
we get there and prove that it is
not," he said. "We have other
types of calls which are mutual
aid, assistance to other agencies such as police services.
Rescues are nine per cent and
that is vehicle extrication or elevator rescues and any other
industrial or commercial accidents that require extrication."
In total, the Central York Fire
Services handled 78 fires and
two explosions in 2009 which
resulted in $3 million in loss.
"80 fires were reported, however 44 of those 80 were over
$50,000 loss," he said. "In an
effort to provide seamless service to the citizens of both
Newmarket and Aurora, we
employ what are called 'call
backs'. "Call backs are when offduty firefighters are notified of a
major incident and they respond
back to the fire station, suit up,
and are available to calls to give
us more depth of service to the
community. In 2009, we had 24
such incidents with a total cost
of overtime of $116,344."
Since 2008, the Central York
Fire Service has responded to
several of what Chief Laing
highlighted as "major incidents",
including a fire at Victoria Street
in Newmarket, with loss estimated to be in excess of
$700,000, and a fire in Aurora
late last year.
"We had the Ridge Road fire
in Aurora of over $100,000
loss," he said. "Just to show you
that we are a well rounded
organization, over on Wellington
Street we helped rescue a black
bear who had lost his way!"
Through all this, the Central
York Fire Services still strives to
maintain its goal of a dispatch
time of "within one minute," he
said.
"We contracted the dispatch
services from Richmond Hill
Fire Service, we try to get the
turnout time of the crew from the
time the bell rings in the station
to the time they are on the truck
properly dressed and seat belted within a minute."

to an incident is set at four minutes or less.
"Our total response time
should see the first truck within
six minutes or less, 90 per cent
of time," he added. "90 per cent
of the time is a number that we
are using that is a Councilendorsed figure that we strive
for."
Over the past year, the
Central York Fire Services has
undertaken several improvements which would be classified
as capital expenditure, he said,
including the purchase of
replacing vehicle extrication
equipment at $70,000, and
upgrading compressor equip-
ment to provide pure compressed air more efficiently to
firefighters in hazardous environments.
Things, however, are not all
rosy with the Central York Fire
Services, with Chief Laing citing
specific concerns between
CYFS and EMS.
"We have some incidents
raising some concerns with
EMS, delayed dispatch, and we
are working hand in hand with
regional EMS services and with
the York Regional Police to do
whatever we can to shorten the
handling time of the call and get
services en route as quickly as
we possibly can."

Letters to the Editor
Poor Ronnie
By RON WALLACE
Lots of people
like old music
I am not alone.
For a while there, I thought I was the only person on earth
who still liked music from the 60s.
More than 100 people proved me wrong Saturday night at
the Aurora Legion.
They were there to enjoy the music of the Beach Boys, and
there was a little Roy Orbison, Bill Haley and the Four Seasons,
thrown in for good measure.
Judging by the dance floor, which seemed to be full every
time a song was played, everyone there was having a good
time.
Even the mayor, Phyllis Morris, and one of her challengers,
Nigel Kean, attended.
Throughout the evening, beach balls kept getting tossed
around the room, adding to the flavour of the evening.
Back in May, I wrote about this upcoming event billed as
“featuring the best of the Beach Boys”.
The trio who entertained was not the remaining Beach
Boys, but they played Beach Boys music.
The Beach Boys first appeared in 1961. That makes the
group nearly 50 years old.
The quintet was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame Class of 1988.
Saturday, we heard such songs as “California Girls”, “Surfer
Girl”, and “I Get Around”, as well as most of the other Beach
Boys hits.
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Last Tuesday, the Rotary Club of Aurora held its annual golf
tournament, and more than 75 people showed up for the event.
Held at Aurora’s St. Andrew’s Valley Golf Club (the one that
has three holes in Newmarket) the tourney, set up to honour the
late Rotarian Eric Smith, could not have happened without the
efforts of my friend Nigel Kean who is not a member of Rotary
but for the second year in row has helped me put the tournament together.
He arranged prizes and sold sponsorships like a trooper,
and when it came time to thank him for his work, I failed
to do that.
I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m microphone-shy.
We held a 50-50 draw, and Nigel got politician Frank Klees
to draw the winning ticket. Frank drew his wife, Jaine’s, ticket
and they would have won more than $200.
But the Klees agreed the winnings should go back to Rotary,
and the donation was made. Nice touch.
To all those who donated prizes, and sponsorships, and to
Nigel, thank you for your help.
Next year, someone else can do it.
Former chairperson thanks
Wells Street community
To the editor,
I would like to extend a huge
thank you to the entire Wells
Street Public School community
and the special guests who took
the time out of their busy schedules to attend a final evening celebration for the historical school!
The weather fully cooperated
as students, staff, parents, relatives, political leaders and supporters of Wells Street Public
School gathered at the Town
Park to commemorate the children's successes and the
school's beautiful history!
Guests enjoyed a free dinner
which was then followed by a
school wide graduation ceremony.
The audience was treated to
musical performances, and special presentations.
The community proudly
watched as every current Wells
Street Public School student
walked across the stage to
receive their commemorative
graduation certificate.
In keeping with the Wells
Street tradition of having a yearend dance the chairs were
cleared away and the dancing
began.
During the evening, guests
were invited to the Aurora
Cultural Centre to enjoy cake,
sign a keepsake guest book and
view the several historical displays.
Children and adults alike
enjoyed placing their handprints
on a canvas that will be donated
to the Aurora Cultural Centre.
A sincere thank you to: the
Aurora Cultural Centre, Aurora
Grove Public School, The
Auroran, Dominos, the Frankin
Family, the Heintzman Family,
Longo's, Mr. Glenn Marais,
Metro, Music by Brock, the Real
Canadian Superstore, Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith, Sobeys and the
Town of Aurora for helping make
the evening an unforgettable
one!
A heartfelt thank you to the
Wells Street School Council for
sponsoring and for organizing
this special and historical community event.
I will truly miss this wonderful
little community, but thank all of
you, for being such a wonderful
part of our children's lives for the
past 118 years!

the mayor
To the editor,
I read about the developer destroying trees without
approval from the Ontario
Municipal Board and am
completely appalled.
I live in an area of
Newmarket that has been
adversely affected by developers who didn't follow
approved plans and screwed
up local ground water.
I support Mayor Morris
and encourage her and
Aurora town council to keep
fighting to protect the Oak
Ridges Moraine and maintain green space in York
Region.

Perspective
Race for the mayors' chain
By Stephen Somerville
With former Aurora Chamber of Commerce president Geoffrey
Dawe declaring his intention two weeks ago to seek the mayors'
chain of office we now have three candidates in the race.
Ex-councillor Nigel Kean and businessman Roger Clowater, had
already announced their intentions; incumbent Phyllis Morris is widely expected to seek a second term, bringing the field to four.
An exciting and very close contest is expected this fall.
It will be very interesting to watch each of the candidates' position
themselves and how they will attempt to differentiate their campaigns
from their respective rivals.
Something else I will be watching closely is if any of the current
councillors publicly endorse any of the mayoralty candidates.
Past electoral results yields few clues when attempting to handicap this competition.
Phyllis Morris received 5,208 votes in the last municipal race,
while then incumbent Tim Jones received 4,798 and Nigel Kean
received 2,364 votes.
Mayor Jones received 65 per cent of the vote against relatively
unknown challenger Homer Farsad in 2003.
In the same year, Phyllis Morris topped the 15 council candidates
with 6,838 votes while Nigel Kean was a close second with 5,758
votes.
Mayor Jones received 51 per cent of the vote in defeating Phyllis
Morris, Bill Hogg and Mr. Sinjakewitsch in the 2000 mayoralty campaign.
It is rather disquieting that voter turnout at the municipal level trails
badly behind federal and provincial elections.
And this is especially ironic given that the decisions made in the
council chamber have such an important, and direct impact on our
community.
Voter turnout has hovered near 39 per cent the last three municipal elections.
But three things might motivate more people to vote this time.
First, a good, hard fought and respectful campaign being run by
the four mayoralty candidates will energize their respective political
bases to action.
It seems that each of the candidates has some profile, and has
sufficient depth, experience (although maybe not in elected office)
and knowledge of the issues to mount an effective campaign.
Second, important issues are required that galvanize the electorate. And we do have those.
Managing growth while maintaining Aurora's unique "small town
feel" is one such issue. Transportation infrastructure and transportation congestion is another.
Public safety and security concerns as population increases.
The appropriate level of taxation to assist in managing growth
challenges.
High incomes and land costs make it difficult for a wide range of
incomes to settle in Aurora. Sources of funding for capital projects,
service and program delivery when the Town is built out (i.e. loss of
development charges).
The list goes on.
Third, people are very concerned about the way in which council
members act in discharging their public duties.
The sometimes acrimonious and poisonous atmosphere surrounding Town Hall should induce people to the polls.
Heard About Town
The citizens of Aurora deserve a vigorous and respectful debate
later this fall on the issues of growth, the level, quality and costs of
services, and the appropriate level of taxation.
But most people are looking for even more is leadership.
They are looking for a mayor who can engender trust, has enthusiasm and energy to burn, and who, although possessing strong
opinions, is at the same time a consensus builder, who works hard
and get things done in an effective and efficient manner.
Voters will either see these characteristics/attributes in Ms. Morris
or they will be looking to one of her challengers.
As my former colleague Dick Illingworth put it so aptly in of one
his Poor Richard columns during the 2006 municipal election: "There
is bound to be disagreement among people with strong points of
view, but disagreement need not mean disorder or chaos.
"This is where a strong procedural bylaw is required and a chairman who enforces it fairly and equitably".
And the late Mr. Illingworth's final words on the topic are still valid
today: "And since the winner will most certainly be joined by a number of new faces around the council chamber, it is important that our
mayor also be someone who can bring the disparate views, concerns, agenda and attitudes of council members together for the
common benefit of our community. "
I don't know who will win the mayor’s chain of office October 25th,
but our community is fortunate to have four worthy candidates for our
consideration.

Cup WAS here
By David Heard
A correction to begin with - the Stanley Cup did, indeed, come to
Aurora thanks to Jim Paek of the Pittsburgh Penguins in the early
1990s.
I wrote about this fact a few weeks ago, but then again many
columns and small facts are soon forgotten.
Maybe there should not be just a copy of an Aurora Monopoly
game at The Historical Society.
There should be an Aurora version of trivial pursuit to keep
reminding us of where we have been in time and success.
That success is not seen these days though in our historic downtown.
If you were to receive a present wrapped in brown paper and it
was to acknowledge a special day, then you might be disappointed
at the effort to enhance the gift.
The same holds true if you wrap your "heart of the community" in
store fronts darkened by Kraft paper. Then you would see the disappointment on the faces of the citizens.
As a youth, I recall my brothers and sisters walking with me along
Yonge Street heading north to Tyler.
The impressive United Church was the view point in the distance
that would signal to me that I was close to enjoyment on a Saturday
morn.
The first stop was always the Five and Dime where the Tile business now is located.
There were no shelves piled high with merchandise or massive
end displays and signs.
This was a child's dream of trays at eye height full of everything
from candy to toys and everything you could think of and what I would
buy for Christmas gifts.
For my Mother in the mid 1960s it was a lace handkerchief.
The next stop was Mary's Fruit Market now known as Caruso's.
They had a great display of glass jars full of penny candy and the
same wood floors as today.
I would purchase a nickel’s worth and get a brown bag full in my
hand and still had a free hand to carry the two bananas or an apple.
Sometimes we would cross to go into the used goods shop that
is now a walkway to the parking in behind.
It was owned by a man called Red and he sometimes got surly
with us if he knew our parents were not with us.
The upper floor was a treat because it was like a fun house as the
floors were so crooked you felt a bit of vertigo.
That place could have been in an Alfred Hitchcock film with all the
crazy stuff.
There were so many items piled everywhere that I think Red had
everything.
Not as many cool things as Betty though.
She was around the corner of Yonge and Wellington on the South
west side where a Spa is now.
I remember all the goods at "Second Hand Betty" and the nice
gesture she made to me in the early 1970s.
Some friends wanted to go to the Town Pool that was behind
George Street School.
I didn't have the money to pay for admission so I took a baseball
glove I had and tried to sell it to her.
She declined and I hung my head and went to walk away. That is
when she asked why I wanted to give up my glove.
I told her about my friends asking me to go swimming and she
handed me some coins and I presented her with the mitt.
She would not place her hands out to take it. She only told me to
swim and play ball after and I would need the glove.
That lady some said was crabby a lot. I say she was a really awesome woman to a young man that day.
We would on Saturdays walk past Vic's Shoe repair and you
could smell the glue out on the street. The journey would continue
along Mosley to Wells Street School and through the Park to my
grandparents’ home.
That street was called Ross but today it’s now industrial Parkway.
I never once ever complained or would today about the hundreds
of train whistles I heard on that street.
By the way, York Region has the highest number of train fatalities
I am told.
I still cannot figure out the want to silence whistles with that statistic around.
When at my Grandmothers we would walk through Sheppard's
bush and they let us dig for bottles in their dump.
My brother still has an amazing collection. Some from the late
1800s.
He won't surrender them to me so I can put them with my "Aurora
Canada's Birthday Town" flag.
That's okay. I have built a nice collection of artifacts from this Town
I love so greatly.
However I do not like what has happened to our core.
There are a few clues in this edition to what I would like to see
happen to bring people to the area again.
Green space, activity, and unique merchants are not a pipe
dream.
I guess when my editor said he wanted citizens to answer what
they would do if on council then I responded with this.
I really do not think I would like it in those chambers at all.
It can be like a cross between the pre-fight interviews on World
Wrestling Entertainment and the Comedy Network. Then again, it
doesn't have to be that way.
Our downtown is in need of a makeover with draw and attraction.
Not paint and a University.
I am sorry I just don't see the vision but I will get my eyes checked
before October 25.
6 - THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010
Have your say
If I were elected mayor or councillor, the first thing I would do
would be to legally incorporate "Oak Ridges" into the Town of Aurora
thus making my candidacy legal.
Most of my fellow "Oakridginals" shop, work, attend schools and
church services, etc. in Aurora- something about the gravitational pull
of the lakes - and don't really feel part of RIchmond Hill.
Due to the increased size of the new Aurora with its suburb Oak
Ridges, I might suggest additional representation at Regional Council
and perhaps looking at the ward system.
After that, I would (novel idea) ask citizens and businesses what
they feel should be attended to!
Bonnie Tiffin

If I were elected mayor or councillor, the first thing I would do
would be enforce the usage of the green and blue bin system in
restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses around Aurora. Our
citizens are committed to the program, but seeing blue and green bins
in front of every institution in Aurora would put us on the road to
becoming even more green.
Emily Cooke
Aurora
If I were elected mayor or councillor, the first thing I’d do would
be…install a right hand turn lane from southbound Yonge to westbound Wellington, as per the Region of York recommendation. Next,
stop the downtown Promenade, as VIVA is about to destroy all value
in any plan. Lastly, demolish Petch House so there would be no more
useless waste of taxpayers’ money.
Mark Holmes
Aurora
As mayor, I would protect Aurora's children's, grandchildren's,
and great grandchildren’s future, her farmland/greenspaces, her
schools, AT ALL COSTS.
Firstly, I would thrust Aurora onto the global stage by leading the
call for "REAL" WORLD PEACE and direct all military might towards
addressing ecological/humanitarian disasters worldwide...life not
death.
Heidi G. A. Stoecklin
Aurora - born & raised
If I were elected mayor or councillor, the first thing I would do
would be…to refocus Town policy to a balance of Utilitarian address
to the whole community and its distance from demographic interests
of the municipality.
F. W. Tidman
Aurora/Newmarket
If I were elected mayor or councillor, the first thing I'd do would
be...TURN OFF THE CAMERAS.
Instead, widely publicize council meeting dates, times, agendas,
and encourage community attendance. Also, secondary school students attending would be eligible for hours toward their community
service credit requirements.

Well said.
"In nature, the normal
way in which trees flourish is by their association

survival. A forest is the triumph of the organization
of mutually dependent
species." — Alfred North

Letters to the Editor
Celebrate birthday this Sunday
To the editor,
Please join us, People of
Peace Action, for a Happy
Birthday tribute for Nelson
Mandela’s 92nd day of life.....love
from Aurora, Sunday, July 18,
from 11.11 a.m. to dusk.
Join us every hour on the
hour for his official B'Day Song
Singing at the Aurora Town Park.
"He challenged our generation to lead with action, not just
words.”
Nelson Mandela has devoted
his life to serving his community,
fighting for his country and
speaking out on behalf of the
poor.
Let's wish him happy birthday
and show him our thanks. Let's
show Africa "we care".
Also on this day we call upon
President Obama and the United
States to free political prisoner
Leonard Peltier, American Indian
Movement Activist, who has
been imprisoned for 34 years
without fair trial.

ED. NOTE: The following letter was sent to
Aurora Mayor Phyllis
Morris and a copy was
forwarded
to
The
Auroran.
I read with dismay, the
story of the illegal cutting
of the 118 trees by the
unscrupulous developer in
an attempt to jump the
gun.
In addition to the lawsuit, I hope you are going
to respond by denying any
permits for this development.
Such acts of vandalism
should be met with automatic rejections of the
projects involved.
If a developer knew he
(she) would automatically
be denied permits in the
event of "jumping the gun"
then I expect they wouldn't
do it.
Keep up the good work!

Leonard wishes at this time
are, "I don’t want to spend the
rest of my life in this prison. And I
don’t want you to spend the rest
of your life in some prison of the
mind, heart or attitude. I want you
to enjoy your life. If nothing else
give somebody a hug for me and
say, “This is from Leonard.”
What North Americans need
to understand, is Mandela stood
up to Imperialism.
The Redman in Canada has
been subjected to Imperialism
since the white colonizers first
began to invade and occupy their
territory.
If you are interested, NonIndigenous Canadians have also
been subject to Imperialism since
the Dominion was established.
Never were we given the
chance to determine how we
want to be governed. We have
choices.
We all come to understand
each other and respect every living thing. On this day, wish to create a space where people can
talk freely.
We wish to create a peaceful,
open, safe forum where the people's voices can be expressed.

THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010 - 7
Letters to the Editor
There will never be a Norm Stewart street
The
late
Nor m
Stewar t, veteran of the
U.K.
and
Canadian
Armed Services, former
councillor of
Aurora,
husband and father to
Joyce, their two daughters and son, stalwar t
and loyal friend to many
will not have a street
named for him.
For the simple reason,
a street has already been
named Earl Stewart.
Norm was nutritionist
at St. Andrew's College.
He was the CAO of the
kitchen establishment.
When St. Andrew's
needed suppor t, Nor m
found many community
oppor tunities for their
facilities to be used during summer months.
I believe twinning with
Leksand, Sweden, was
an initiative of Norm's.
Many Leksand groups
were accommodated at
St. Andrew's. The town
didn't have a hotel.
The
Stewar t family
were avid campers. They
had Americans friends
and met up annually.
Nor m admired their
enthusiasm for celebrating July 4th. He thought
we could take a page.
I would not presume to
claim it was the best ever
because I do not know
that. But it certainly was
spectacular.
He didn't do it by himself. Of course not. But he
was the inspiration.
He recruited, maybe
conscripted is a better
word, every organization
in town to par ticipate.
They did so with gusto.
The time was right. We
celebrated
Canada's
Centennial two years earlier.
We were still on a high
with our new state of the
ar t community centre.
Aurora was a hockey
town. We had no facility
for several years. We
were ready for it.
We passed a bylaw to
compel businesses to
close on July 1st.
Norm insisted on two
principles: no politician
would exploit the event
and all revenue raised
would be used to pay for
the celebration and create a reserve for the next
year.
Nor m Stewar t was
responsible for several
other
initiatives.
He
brought Big Brothers to
Aurora. He became the
first big brother. He proposed offering space to
the
organization
in
Church Street school
when the school board
vacated.
Everything Norm did,
he did with intensity. He
was as typical an army
sergeant as can be imagined.
Being credited was not
important. It was always
enough to know he had a
part in a it.
I think real militar y
experience, when lives
depend on ever ybody
Reader has chipmunk
woes, and no one helps
To the editor,
In recent months, our
deck has become a playground for chipmunks.
This fact concerns me
because of the damage
chipmunks can inflict on
proper ty.
In fact, last winter, one
made its home in my barbecue.
Once, I turned on the
barbecue whilst Chippie
was in it and he fled like
greased lightning and did
not return to it, deciding
then and there it was not
a good idea to dwell in a
place that can become
so hot.
They have continued
to visit us, nonetheless.
I have tried a number
of means to get rid of
them, including rather
expensive live mousetraps.
I caught only mice with
the traps and the chipmunks have continued to
cavor t around my deck,
sometimes even when I
have been sitting on it.
Yesterday, my wife's
cousin from Newmarket
told us that Animal
Control in that town provide a live-trap to catch
the pests; and then,
when one is caught,
Animal Control releases
it several miles away.
Great, I thought, and
called Animal Control in
Aurora.
Animal Control may be
located in Aurora, but
they appear to work
everywhere but.
They could not tell me
whom to contact.
I called the Town of
Aurora and was given a
number by the receptionist, which turned out to
be the SPCA.
They told me that they
cannot help me because
they respond only when
the animal is injured!
I guess I have to do
what I did not want to do
-- set a rattrap.
The SPCA will respond
only when the animal is
injured by the rattrap.
It might be too late,
though, for I understand
that rattraps often to kill
the animals.
Only in Aurora!
pulling together, might
have had something to do
with that.
He was the councillor
who proposed the Citizen
of the Year Award. It was
not to be awarded if there
wasn't outstanding contribution to be recognized.
He proposed the Civic
Awards Night.
When
Norm's young
son-in-law died of cancer,
Norm was there to support his daughter and her
infant child in every way
he knew.
The
Stewar ts
had
strong friendships.
When Max Weideman,
owner of the Graystones
Restaurant died, Anita,
left with a restaurant to
run and two children to
raise, found Norm's strong
and steady shoulder.
When Omar Khamissa
and his young family
came to Aurora, refugees
from tyrant Idi Amin, the
Stewar ts
immediately
made sure they knew they
had found a new home.
I never knew Norm's
exact army title. He certainly fullfilled every imaginable aspect of a ferocious
and
irascible
Sergeant Major, who got
things done, whipped
ever ybody into shape,
wouldn't take no for an
answer, knew and identified a puff ball when he
saw one and didn't much
care if he was loved by
everyone.
Whoever added the
name Earl to the street of
Stewart, wanted to make
sure there would be no
Hollidge Blvd.
N
Wellington St. E.
street named after Norm
Stewart.
At another time, there
may be another opportunity.
But I'm sure Sergeant
Stewart is undisturbed.

8 - THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010
Letters to the Editor
First Nation honoured to be part of our parade
ED. NOTE; The following letter has been
copied to The Auroran.
I wanted to take this
oppor tunity to tell you
that I am truly honoured
to have been asked to
par ticipate in your Red &
White Strawberries &
Cream Celebration of
Canada on June 26th
and also in your Canada
Day Parade with the
Georgina Island youth
dancers and the Nagamo
Dodem Singers. Not only
did we have a terrific
time, but we were honoured that our children
took home an award for
best school group and
one of our mothers, Lyla
Big Canoe, won an award
for Best Canadian in her
full regalia.
This
has
had
a
tremendous impact on
each and every one of
us.
As a mother and life
giver, I had a really terrific experience with the
other Moms in sharing
this time with our children and being proud to
say
"We
are
Anishinaabe."
On Georgina Island
First Nation, students of
the First Nation are
schooled on the island
only until Grade 5 and
then they are boarded on
the mainland and continue their studies in mainstream
off
reser ve
schools.
For our children this is
somewhat of an obstacle
when it comes to social
interactions as most kids
in school already have
their cliques and friends
from previous years and
integration into a new
school system can be
very challenging and difficult.
As you know, I am the
new
Marketing
Coordinator
for
the
Georgina Ar t Centre and
Gallery and have worked

Georgina Island and surrounding
area
First
Nations.
My role is to offer programming that encourages cross cultural training,
elimination
of
racism, stereotyping as
well as self identity and
self esteem workshops
for both Native and NonNative youth.
This is
advantageous to York
Region for several reasons.

To the editor,
Canada's 143rd birthday, July 1st Canada Day
Parade in Aurora once
again drew crowds along
Yonge Street to watch
a
vast
number
of
floats, Olympians,
singers, bands, and more.
For
a
fifth
year,
Information Aurora again
held the Canada Day
Parade
Sidewalk
Chalking and Contest
events for children and
families.
While we no longer
have Dick Illingworth as
our esteemed judge of
emergent
sidewalk
artistry, we still have lots
of fun and good cheer.
Starting at the steps of
the Town's Public Library,
children made chalk pictures on their respective
sidewalk panels about
what Canada and Canada
Day are all about.

To the editor,
When this all came to
light, guess what some local
citizens had, in effect, to

for the mayor."
My Town, Your Town.
ponent of our teaching
and deliver y of our
Aboriginal program, we
are developing a better
understanding of each
others' culture, lear n a
new respect for our First
Nations neighbours, and
continue to follow up the
good work of our schools
in eliminating bullying
and racism.
By including our children in your event we are
encouraging the integration of an Aboriginal component to encourage right
relationships
between
Native and Non-Native
youth.
Our children walked
away from the event with
stronger self-esteem, self
identity and proud knowledge of their heritage and
that it truly makes them
unique.
As families, we all
shared some beautiful
teachable moments to
both the children and us
as mothers and grandmothers.
For the community of
Aurora, this was an event
that broke down barriers
and preconceived notions
and has built a stronger
foundation for the UNITY
of all our Nations.
Again,
I
say
Chi
Meegwetch for your hospitality and I look forward
to working with you again
in the near future.
And when they were
finished, they continued to
draw chalk pictures on the
closed-off street waiting
for the parade to arrive.
As usual, it was good
fun and easy times.
Thanks very much to
our student volunteers
who helped run the event Suzanne Smoke
- Chelsea E., Sammy, and Nagamo Dodem Singers
Taylor,

Wendy Gaertner; to The
Auroran’s Scott Johnston
who served as our discer ning judge; Sher St
Kitts and her fantastic
team of CDP organizers;
and Staples Aurora and
Newmarket for donating
all the multi-coloured
chalk.
And last, congratulations to this year's sidewalk chalk art winners.
See you again next
year.
It seems the battle of
developers vs. small town
approach, is again raising its
head in Aurora for the next
election.
Mayor

Information Aurora
site, says: "Our ability to Aurora
manage growth is being lost

Board (OMB). Council is

simply trying to follow the
legislative process and the
Official Plan”.
Wow.
I am convinced Mr. Dawe
is unacquainted with the history of this Westhill project. It
appears Councillor Buck is in
his corner.
This is no more than a
flexing of Westhill muscle
over us.
They ran to the the OMB
before the Town even considered their project. Beware.
I left messages for Mr.
Dawe and phone contacts for
clarification - no response.

Jays surprise Bolton with a hot 9-3 victory
The Aurora Jays Minor
Peewee team surprised
YSBA third placed Bolton
Braves with a 9-3 win
recently.
It was a very hot
evening in Bolton when
Tyler Murray put the Jays
on the scoreboard with the
first run of the night.
The first inning ended in
a 1-1 tie after pitcher Collin
Dyer struck out one, and
Murray made a big league
double play catching a fly
ball and throwing out the
player at first.
Newest member of the
team, Markus Hamann,
pitched two innings and
recorded three strikeouts.
Jamie FInlay relieved him
in the fourth and also produced three strikeouts in
two innings.
The Jays continued to
add to their score as Adam
Starr began the third with
his first of three singles on
the night.
Austin Skelhorn followed with a single and
then Finlay drove them
both home.
In the fourth Joey Leger
belted a double for an RBI.
Bradey Adams also
contributed with an RBI.
Finlay was throwing
heat, baffling the Braves
with strikes, and it was
Charles
Bennett
who
made the third out with a
great catch at second
base.
The Jays were holding
the Braves at one run with
a respectable lead. But
with the game only half
over, they continued to
apply pressure.
Carter Johnson, Murray
and Thomas Curley hit for
singles. Curley's hit was
good
for
two
RBIs.
Hamann produced his first
Board names new president
The Board of Directors of
the Aurora Youth Soccer Club
announced last week that
they have appointed Mike
Curci as the President of the
group effective June 15th.
He will replace Ron
Weese, who announced his
retirement recently.
The Board is confident
that Mike who has been with
the group for 18 years will be
able to provide the leadership
that the club needs.
In order to take on the
club president position, Mike
has stepped down from the
previously held board posi-
tion of Vice President of the
competitive league.
“I'm delighted to be able to
continue my longstanding
commitment to the club in
this position, and frankly honoured to be asked,” Mr. Curci
said. “The AYSC is an important part of the community,
and everyone from the players to the Board members
benefits from its work".
Mike’s experience in
many aspects of the organization make him uniquely
suited to take on this role and
help the AYSC grow into the
future.
RBI of the year to bring the
Jays to eight runs.
In the bottom of the fifth
the struggling Braves managed to get two runs in, but
the inning was quickly over
after Finlay struck out one
batter, Johnson tossed out
a runner at first, and Leger
snagged a long ball to left
field.
The Jays scored one
more run from an RBI
from Adams.
To close out the game a
combined team effort
caught three Braves out at
first and the game was
declared a victory for
Aurora.
On July 16, 17 and 18
the team will host a tournament at the Leisure
Complex diamonds.
The public is invited to
enjoy the games, and take
part in a barbeque lunch
July 17 and 18.

THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010 - 13
Senior Scape
By BRIAN WARBURTON
Aurora successful in Games
The York Region 55+
Senior Games are an important feature of summer for seniors.
The seniors from the ASA,
composed a strong contingent,
including the following medal
winners: Marion Hunter, Edith
Southam, Joan Best, John
Seaman, Walter Rawlins,
Joshy
Kallungal,
Myrna
Rawlins, Charles Sequeira,
James Alberga, Terry Paul,
John
Layton,
Aghdas
Akhaven, Joanne Keates, Terry
Robertson, Bob Collard and
Ernie Wall.
A strong winning contingent
is a more apt description of
Team ASA, and all the contestants are proud of their achievements.
Participation is the most visible element of the Senior
Games, which is as it should
be, but to appreciate fully the
effort and enthusiasm of this
dynamic group of seniors, we
must consider the interest and
enjoyment, which allows them
to complete their training and
preparation for competition with
their fellow seniors.
To earn a medal in competition among their fellows at any
stage in life, is truly an out-
standing event.
The Actifest 55+ Senior
Games scheduled for Oshawa
August 10th - 12th, will include
a number of ASA seniors
including some of the York
Region medal winners who will
compete.
The Aurora Town Hall parking lot, curbs, asphalt and concrete sidewalks will undergo
reconstruction
beginning
Tuesday, July 6th.
Reconstruction will begin
with the upper parking lot, and
only when this phase is completed will the second phase in
front of the Town Hall begin.
Staff and visitors will be
unable to use this parking
space while reconstruction
continues. Parking is available
at Civic Square Gate, which is
a short walk to the centre, and
on the east side of John West
Way.
Many visitors fail to recognize the viability of parking at
the rear of the Town Hall, (it is
closed now) but parking is usually available there when the
front and seniors parking is full,
and parking to capacity at the
front of the Town Hall, is a frequent occurrence.
The reconstruction is a
necessity.
Despite modern engineering, pavement still succumbs
eventually to the persistence of
time and the unremitting cycles
of heat induced expansion and
contraction on paving materials.
The Town Hall parking lot
was due for reconstruction.
The first phase, which has
started, will take about three
weeks and the second about
two weeks.
Bad weather or other
unforeseen problems may
increase the time of reconstruction.
Among those affected by
the reconstruction will be seniors because the seniors and
the Town Hall share parking
space as demand for space
fluctuates and often spills over
to John West Way.
Moreover, while some seniors are snowbirds, many others holiday in the summer as
they always did.
Florida is great in the winter,
but Canada is home and the
summer cottage draws seniors
like everybody else, and so
summer is a quieter time in the
ASA and probably the Town
Hall also.
Seniors’ singalong planned
From page 1
Amazing Grace, I've Got Joy
Joy Joy Down In My Heart,
and In The Garden.
These selections will be
accompanied by pianist Bob
Leonard on the Centre's new
grand piano, and by a trombone performance by Glen
and Irene Langford. The event
also
includes
readings,
including a recitation of the
poem The Touch of the
Master's Hand, which will be
performed by Mrs. Hubley.
"We ended up with a group
of hymns we thought as a
group would be suitable for a
wide variety of denominations
and we're certainly not promoting one particular one,"
said Mr. Hubley. "It's the ones
we all used to sing and it's
strictly non-denominational."
The Hubleys celebrate
their
60th
Wedding
Anniversary July 29. The parents of two, grandparents of
six, and great-grandparents of
four, said they firmly believe in
keeping active in retirement.
While Mrs. Hubley is a former nurse, Mr. Hubley retired
20 years ago as a Senior Vice
President of the Bank of Nova
Scotia.
Today, he remains active
not just in the community but
as a banking consultant. He
has been with the Cultural
Centre since its inception and
believes the Centre can play
an integral part in encouraging active seniors.
"It's hard to come up with
something because some
seniors can be restricted and
[the hymn sing] is something
they can do."
"I know they have a seniors’
centre, but sometimes people
like to get out and I think it
would be nice if they could
just come with their little group
and meet at the Cultural
Centre for a cup of tea,"
added Mrs. Hubley. "Anything
that would bring them to the
Cultural Centre would be a
great idea. [A tea] is the first
thing that came to mind
because it is nice to get
together with people your
own age and really just communicate and get to know
people."
With this in mind, they are
keen to stress that the
Cultural Centre is fully accessible, something they said
they feel has not necessarily
been driven home to some of
Aurora's seniors.
"We hope that they'll bring
in busloads of seniors from
some of the retirement and
nursing homes and give them
a chance to get out," said Mr.
Hubley. "We have the elevator
there so you can bring wheelchairs up, so it is fully accessible. It is air conditioned, so it
is nice and cool and it is a
nice place to be. If they want
to go downstairs later they
can see a nice painting display, so there is always something else to see here and
tour the building."
The opportunity to hold
this event and show off the
facility to seniors has excited
the Cultural Centre. The
event is free and people of all
ages are invited to attend.
Interest in the event is growing throughout the community, they said.
"Doug and Mert are excellent examples of seniors who
took on active retirement and
have enhanced life in our
town," said Jane Taylor, the
Centre's
Program
Coordinator.
For more information on
the event, contact the Aurora
Cultural Centre at 905-7131818.

These considerations mitigate the impact of reconstruction on parking and make the
holiday months, the preferred
time of year to reconstruct.
The Seniors’ Centre maintains a list of stores and services posted on the notice board
offering discounts to seniors.
The list of services and
products is large and includes
drugs, hardware, restaurants,
transport to the airport, cleaners
and more, and includes very
well known merchandisers.
A list of the discount opportunities is available at the front

please let reception know who
is offering what and allow the
good news to circulate.

THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010 - 15
Developer charged after trees cut
Harry Lumsden (inset) takes care of
Trumpeter Swans on his property at
the end of Hillview Road in Aurora. For
the second year in a row, people
attending Doors Open in August will be
able to tour the facility. Last year, Harry
provided guided tours to more than
260 guests.
Lumsden's swan garden
back on Doors Open tour
For the second time,
Harr y
Lumsden
welcomes Doors Open visitors to his Trumpeter
Swan Garden.
Don't
miss this oppor tunity to
enjoy a guided tour by
Mr. Lumsden and learn
about
the
Trumpeter
Swans, and the incredible and rare variety of
plants he is growing
there.
Trumpeter Swans are
the largest waterfowl in
the world, boasting a
black beak.
Historically the swans
had been heavily hunted
throughout
Nor th
America since the 1700s
- the last one in Ontario
being shot at Long Point
in 1886.
Thanks
to
Mr.
Lumsden's
effor ts,
Trumpeter Swans can be
spotted across Southern
Ontario.
About 39 per cent
have yellow tag markers.
From September 2007 to
August 2008, 116 swans
were banded and marked
with yellow wing tags in
places such as La Salle,
Frenchman's Bay, Whitby
Harbour and Wye Marsh
at Midland.
Harr y Lumsden grew
up in Scotland. During
the Second World War
while in the Royal Air
Force, he was sent to
Canada to train as a
pilot, then he served in
Europe, India and Japan.
A few years later he
decided to retur n to
Canada and call it home.
He was offered a job
with the Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources in
1948 as a research scientist and his work
focused on geese, ducks,
grouse, and deer.
In 1982, he initiated
the job of bringing back
Trumpeter Swans to the
province of Ontario.
To do so, Mr. Lumsden
got eggs from Alber ta,
hatched them in an incubator and used mute
swans
to
raise
the
cygnets in ponds near
Maple, Ontario.
Later, when funds
were
available,
he
bought breeding pairs
and enlisted owners of
ponds to care for them
and to breed from them.
When he retired in
1988, he arranged with
the Ministry to continue
with his work.
To date, he continues
to tag, track, and organize data with the help of
his daughter Diana and
volunteers in places like
Midland and Burlington.
With grants from the
Trillium
Foundation,
Garfield
Weston
Foundation and Scott
Paper Limited, his work
continues.
Harr y Lumsden was
named a Member of the
Order of Canada in 2004,
in recognition of his outstanding
work
with
Trumpeter
Swans
in
Ontario, and his devotion
to the preservation of our
natural heritage.
In 2007, he was the
recipient of the Heritage
Community Recognition
Program Awards, Natural
Heritage Category.
In 2009, the Ontario
Heritage Trust awarded
him with the Lifetime
Achievement Award (2024 years) for his contribution to the preservation of natural heritage in
Aurora, and in recognition for his outstanding
dedication to the return
and
breeding
of
Trumpeter
Swans
in
Ontario, and to the
preservation of our natural heritage.
Known for his passion
and
dedication,
Mr.
Lumsden continues to
share his knowledge of
aviculture with the public
and
stimulate
public
interest in wildlife conservation.
As par t of this dedication, he opened his gardens in 2009 to Doors
Open Aurora and provided guided tours to more
than 260 visitors.
His garden is a real
treat and a definite highlight of Doors Open
Aurora 2010.
Enjoy a
tour of the nor th and
south ponds, taking in
the sights and sounds.
Bring rubber boots,
some bug spray, and a
camera! This garden is
not
to
be
missed.
Located at the end of
Hillview Road, just south
of Wellington and the
downtown core, is this
hidden gem - a vir tual
oasis and haven for the
Trumpeter Swan, geese,
and ducks; amid native
and rare plant species
from Russia, Central
China, and Japan.

"Anything the mayor and council
can do, and the community can
do to uphold the integrity of the
moraine and the integrity of their
bylaws and tree preservation
should be pursued," said Mayor
Mayor Morris, noting that
although this incident took place
in Aurora, other municipalities
found themselves in similar situations.
"This is not an issue that is
just an Aurora issue," she said.
"Other mayors and councils that
have jurisdiction in their communities on other parts of the
moraine, we've certainly heard
that the fines and penalties need
to be reviewed just to make sure
it wouldn't be cost effective from
the developers' point of view to
pay the fine.
"We're certainly hearing that
from other communities that
have faced similar issues. We've
seen similar tree cutting happening down in the David
Dunlap
Observatory
in
Richmond Hill [and] we've
watched it happen in Halton Hills
a few years back and that went
through the courts.
"We know that it is a concern
for many communities when you
have local control over planning
matters you hope that people
would follow the rules."
For Mayor Morris, it was a
matter of getting through
Monday to see how the court
would deal with the issue before
moving forward.
"The thing that I would like to
stress is we have bylaws in
place and we work with people
to try and uphold those bylaws
and gain compliance to the
processes that are already in
place, so I think I will just leave it
at that for now," she said. "We
already have bylaws in place
and penalties in place. The
Council is very pro-environmental protection and any tree cutting, whether it would be here or
anywhere else, would be viewed
the same way by this council.
"In other words, the tree cutting bylaw is the Council's and
the fact that we have these
measures in place and processes in place is so we can work
with the development industry,
so that we can work with homeowners when they are doing
alterations whether it be for a
swimming pool, or to build a
garage or an extension.
"[They are in place for a local
community.
The
penalties...throughout the province
have been questioned on
whether they are sufficient.
Whether or not this is the right
time for us to be pushing forward to alter, that is something
that most municipalities right
now are dealing with."
The Town has also taken the
steps of informing other stakeholders of the tree cutting incident.
"We've [advised] other
authorities that also may have
jurisdiction, such as the Region
of York, the Toronto Region
