Presentation Centre NOW OPEN THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010 - 3 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. Eric died one year ago. Auroran photo by Ron Wallace 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." The goal for the driving time gourmet to go Kelly K ll M Malehmir l h i Mortgage Agent direct-905-726-4335 toll free 1-877-432-4790 [email protected] 77 Wellington Street E., Aurora Ont.

"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! Kim Rouse-Parypa Former Wells Street Public School Council Chair Resident supports 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.

THE AURORAN, Week of July 13, 2010 - 5 Machell’s Corners by Scott Johnston Front Porch 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. Stephen can be contacted at: [email protected] 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 Oak Ridges potential suburb of Aurora 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. W.R. (Bill) Hack Aurora Director compliments mayor Ed. Note: The following letter was sent to Aurora Mayor Phyllis Morris and a copy forwarded to The Auroran. Regarding the Toronto Star article of Friday, July 9th. Well said. "In nature, the normal way in which trees flourish is by their association in a forest. Each tree may lose something of its individual perfection of growth, but they mutually assist each other in preserving the conditions of survival. A forest is the triumph of the organization of mutually dependent species." — Alfred North Whitehead "Everyone is aware that individually and collectively we are responsible for preserving the natural environment…environmental protection [has] emerged as a fundamental value in Canadian society." — Madame Justice L'Hereux-Dubé, Supreme Court of Canada, 2001 To repeat, well said. Peter Sibbald Brown Director & Environmental Justice Chair The Lakewatch Society (Canada) Sibbald Point 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. Canadian writer supports mayor 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! Gary Reany Eastport, Nfld.

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.

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.

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 extensively within 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. By offering this com- Sidewalk contest another success 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. Candidate didn’t return my message: reader To the editor, When this all came to light, guess what some local citizens had, in effect, to say? "Aw, this is just a photo-op 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, and Janis Georgina Island Youth Suderman and Councillor 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 Candidate Rosemary Park Geoffrey Dawe, in his web- Guy L. Poppe Information Aurora site, says: "Our ability to Aurora manage growth is being lost to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). Council is fighting developers who are 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. FOR ALL YOUR We now learn about the SUSPENSION NEEDS illegal destruction of many trees. It seems disregarding the law is more financially bene60 Industrial ficial for the developer than a 905 fine. Pkwy.

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 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 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.

From page 1 until October 18 at 10.30 a.m. "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.
