colourful and impressive ceremony before a capacity audience in the council chambers of
the Town Hall Tuesday night.
Town Crier Art Meeke, in the
colourful dress of olden times,
called the meeting to order with
the traditional bell-ringing, cry
and proclamation.
Then there was the sound of
the pipes as Piper Jim
McGillivray of the St. Andrew's
College Pipe Band led the
Aurora Legion Colour Guard into
the council chambers followed
by the mayor and members of
council.
As members of council took
their place in front of the council
table, the Legion Colour Guard
formed a backdrop behind them.
Vocalist Devon Dickinson led in
the singing of O Canada and the
Prayer of Dedication was delivered by the Reverend Canon
Philip Poole of Trinity Anglican
Church.
He noted the freedom that
Canadians had been given to
choose their elected officials,
which was not possible in so
many areas of the world.
Town Clerk Bob Panizza
administered the Oath of Office
and presented the Chain of
Office to Mayor Tim Jones, followed by members of council
who took the Oath of Office
jointly, with all members, after
signing the oath, keeping the
pen.
The Mayor introduced and
thanked members of town organizations participating in the ceremony, including members of
the Queen's York Rangers Cadet
Corps who acted as ushers.
Members of council were then
introduced, as well as former
Mayors George Timpson and
Dick
Illingworth,
former
Councillors Steve Hinder and
Don Constable, and Chamber of
Commerce President Brian North
who were in the audience.
All town department heads, or
the Management Team, were
introduced and it was noted that
Town Clerk Bob Panizza was cel-
ebrating 30 years of service in
local government.
In his inaugural address, Mayor
Jones appealed to the incoming
members to speak and get to

Wallace lost eight votes, but

learned
nothing
had
changed as far as her
votes were concerned.
She had defeated incumbent David Griffith by 37
votes, and that's exactly
how
the
recount
saw it.
Mayor Tim Jones and
first place council finisher
Phyllis Morris each lost
five votes in the recount.
Homer Farsad, who had
challenged Jones for the
mayor's seat and who was
among the instigators to
request the recount, lost
two votes.
Successful councillor
Damir Vrancic dropped
two votes, while Nigel
Kean and Bill Hogg each
lost one.
Defeated councillor
George Timpson lost
three votes in the recount,
while council hopeful
Keith Munro dropped two
votes.
Everyone else remained
exactly the same, indicating the recount showed
exactly what most pundits
expected - there would be
little change.
Farsad was adamant
that a recount should be
held because he believed
official returning officer
Bob Panizza had not conducted the proper tests on
the tabulator portion of
the town's new electronic
voting system.
Voters on election day
filled in marks on a ballot
and those ballots were
fed into a counting
machine
that
Farsad
believed had the potential
to be flawed.
About 800 voters in the
advance poll used a different system which could
not be recounted.
The recount began at the
Town Hall early Thursday
morning, but became
quickly evident that it
would not be completed in

the course of a single day.
"It took about half a day
to set things up and two
days to count," Panizza
said, estimating a cost of
about $2,500 in staff time.
Some officials expected
the recount could take as
many as three or four
days, but everything was
wrapped up Friday afternoon.
Councillors attending an
orientation
session
Saturday morning were
given copies of the
recount figures.

Poor
Richard
Voting is a duty
not a privilege
People fought for the right to vote,
But too many voters fail to use it.
The reasons are hard to fathom,
As to why on their fannies, they sit!
- Poor Richard's Scrapbook
Unofficial reports indicate the voter turnout in the recent
municipal election in Aurora was around 33 per cent.
In Markham and East Gwillimbury the voter turn-out was
in the mid-twenties and in Vaughan and Newmarket it was
31 per cent.
Traditionally across Ontario it has been in the 35 per
cent range, unless there has been a hot local issue, such
as in King Township with a 50 per cent voter turnout due
to the ongoing controversy over the Big Pipe to service
King City.
The major legislation, which formed the basis for local
government and the municipal right to vote, was the
Baldwin Act.
Robert Baldwin was a lawyer and an influential reformer
in Upper Canada who developed the concept of responsible government conceived by his father, William Baldwin.
He promoted the concept in a memorandum to the
British Colonial Office in 1836, which attracted the attention of Lord Durham, who was later appointed Governor
General and High Commissioner of British Nor th
America.
He arrived in Canada in 1838 to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 1837 rebellion and wrote his
famous report on the Affairs of North America.
He recommended a modified form of responsible government based on Baldwin's concept.
It provided for the election of municipal officers and
required that electors be 21 years of age, a British subject by birth or naturalization, male, resident in the municipality and a freeholder or householder.
By 1866, some amendments had been made to the right
to vote, which allowed male freeholders to vote whether
resident or not, and set minimum assessment ratings of
$100 in police villages and townships to $600 in cities.
Although the assessment rating value changed over the
years, the system remained in effect until 1972 when the
Municipal Elections Act abolished the concept of minimum assessment.
Also abolished was the provision that a person in tax
arrears lost the right to vote.
In 1882, unmarried women and widows who met the residency, property, age citizenship and payment of due
taxes qualifications, as for male ratepayers, were given
the right to vote on bylaws requiring the consent of the
voters.
Two years later they were given the right to vote in
municipal elections, but it wasn't until 1917, with the
adoption of the Women's Municipal Franchise Act, that all
women won the right to vote in municipal elections, the
same as men.
In 1936, when the provincial sales tax was introduced,
the provisions relating to income as one of the qualifications to vote was removed.
In 1958, the Municipal Franchise Act permitted municipalities to give the right to vote to roomers and boarders.
Aurora was one of the first municipalities to take advantage of the provision.
The legislation was repealed in 1972 and the right to
vote was extended to a Canadian or a British subject, resident in the municipality and 18 years of age.
In 1982, the term of municipal office was extended from
two to three years to help increase the effectiveness of
local government.
In 1985, the legislation was amended to delete other
British subjects so that in the 1988 municipal election
only Canadian citizens had the right to vote.
Other changes have taken place over the years
designed to make it easier for eligible electors to vote, but
so few take the time to do it.
Municipal elections are normally considered dull unless
there is a hot local issue.
Municipal elections wouldn't appear dull if more residents took an active interest in their community and how
it was governed, became familiar with the problems and
issues and got to know the candidates, so they could
make an intelligent vote on election day.
It's been a long and sometimes rocky road to obtain the
right to vote in municipal elections and it should be treated, not as a privilege, but as a right and duty.
At one time Aurora officials negotiated contracts with the Aurora Police Department. In the above
photo, negotiations broke down and arbitration was ordered. Here, in October, 1969, in an Etobicoke
hotel, then mayor Dick Illingworth, left, and town solicitor Chris Johnson study the numbers. And, the
guy who took the photograph also typed up the final contract.

Letters to the Editor
Inauspicious beginning
for a new council: Buck
To the editor,
On the afternoon of the
last Tuesday of the last
month of the last council,
Councillor David Griffith
was asked by former
Councillor Evelina
MacEachern to seek a
recount of the votes cast
November 10. David said
"No''.
That evening Homer
Farsad, his son Josh, and
Ben Kestein, Aurora's
perennial gadfly, came to
council. They presented
arguments to suggest the
election count was flawed.
Subsequently Councillor
MacEachern pointed out
she had had questions
about the system from
"Day One".
Councillor Vrancic said it
was important to uphold
the principles of democracy. He did not wish to
spend the next three years
looking across the room
and wondering if the people who occupied the
council seats were entitled
to be there.
Councillor Kean echoed
those sentiments. They
asked how much would a
recount cost and how long
would it take. Then Vrancic
moved and MacEachern
seconded that a recount be
authorized.
The vote carried...to a
thunderous standing ova-
Greg Sorbara should
resign, reader claims
To the editor,
For anyone seeking assistance for any matters from
our local MPP, Greg
Sorbara, my advice is: do
not even bother trying.
After sending him a letter
asking important questions
regarding Liberal policy no
reply was received. Three
further follow up letters,
including two copied to the
Premier also did not get any
response.
I question why we, as taxpayers, are paying such
politicians salaries, when
they seem to have no interest looking after or addressing
their
constituents'
needs.
Perhaps now that Sorbara
has job security for the next
four years, he feels those
who voted him in are no
longer important.
Then, when the next election comes, he, and his colleagues, can once again
make all types of promises
that they have no intention
of keeping, and we will once
again be duped into voting
for them.
In the corporate world,
those lying and not doing
their job are fired. Maybe
even sent to prison.
Greg Sorbara is not doing
his job and should resign.
He should allow someone
else to run who genuinely
would have our interests at
heart and not treat us as
fools.
We need better government. After the lies and
ineptitude of previous NDP
and PC governments, we
were hoping for a change
with the Liberals. Now it is
the same lies and ineptitude. What kind of example
are these politicians giving
to our children? Why do we
continue to allow ourselves
to be duped? When are we
as voters going to speak up
and demand more from our
politicians?
Berend Koopmans
Aurora
tion from Farsad, his son
and
Ben
Kestein.
MacEachern had asked for
a recorded vote. The Mayor
and Councillors West and
Pedersen voted "No".
At no time was it noted
that council had approved
the procedure for the election by bylaw within the
previous six months. Or
that the town's procedural
bylaw does not permit for a
matter to be re-visited within six months. The procedural bylaw can be suspended but only by a twothirds majority vote of
council.
In effect,MacEachern,
Vrancic and Kean called for
the rules to be changed
after the game had been
played and they were not
satisfied with the score.
The election apparently
cost $85,000. The recount
would cost $1,000. The
clerk advised, several
times, the same procedure
- a machine re-count would almost certainly produce the same result. No
matter, they did it anyway.
Well, now the recount is
over. It took two days. But
only because the staff of
the clerk's department
stayed on their feet feeding
9,000 ballots through the
machines without break,
until six p.m. on Thursday
and from 9 in the morning
until four in the afternoon
on Friday. Everything that
was done on election day
at hundreds of locations
throughout the town was
repeated again at the town
hall during those two
days…by three people.
Not only that, but Homer
Farsad demanded to view
each and every one of
those thousands of ballots.
The clerk sat slowly turning
over each and every one of
those cards, while Farsad
examined every detail and
took notes.
And for what purpose? As
the clerk had advised,
there were no significant
changes. Homer Farsad
did not win the Mayor's
chair and I still gained a
seat at the table.
It is an inauspicious
beginning for a brand new
council.

Mayor’s Report
By Tim Jones
Mayor's address
at inaugural night
(ED. NOTE: Following is the text used by Mayor Tim
Jones as his inaugural address last week. Minor editing changes have occurred.)
It continues to be an honour and a privilege to serve you
as mayor and for that, I humbly say thank you. By electing
or re-electing the members of council inaugurated this
evening, you have demonstrated your trust, in each of us,
in our leadership, in our judgment, and in our ability to
work together.
Before I allude to some of the challenges I envision for
this term, I will take this opportunity, in front of you tonight,
to appeal to the incoming members of council, to take the
time to speak to each other, and get to know your colleagues, who they are, what their goals are, why they
choose to get involved in the governance of our Town, and
how we can work together to achieve the goals we have.
I ask this, in part, because of the involvement I have
among the staff of the Town of Aurora, and at the Region
of York in an initiative called 'Character Communities'.
Both the Region of York and the Town of Aurora have
resolved to be Character Communities and we have been
concentrating on selected attributes we value in our working relationships amongst each other and with the public
we serve.
For Aurora, those attributes that staff and council identified as most meaningful in our workplace include:
Respect: treating ourselves and colleagues with consideration, high regard and dignity.
Honesty: to be sincere, trustworthy and truthful.
Fairness: to treat others in a just, equitable and unbiased
manner.
Responsibility: to be accountable for our actions, be
reliable, and keep our commitments.
Integrity: to do what's right, and ensure there is no
difference between what we say and what we do.
Loyalty: to be there for others when needed.
Dependability: to keep our word and pull our share of
the load.
Empathy: to be understanding of others.
Initiative: to recognize what needs to be done and do it,
without prompting from others.
Perseverance: to not give up when things get tough, to
stick to our goals and work hard to achieve them, despite
obstacles and challenges.
I know that our Town staff have bought into these
attributes. I ask council to do the same.
We need to work together if we are to be successful and
with the strengths we have around the table, I am confident if we take the time to get to know each other from the
start, and commit to working together, with consideration
to these attributes, to focus our efforts in an outward manner to resolve Town issues as opposed to spending a disproportionate time looking inward, we will be able to move
forward in tackling the issues of the day.
And about those issues - as we heard in the recent election, we all have issues, many in common, that we wish to
address. Some of them include traffic and road safety,
business development, especially at the 404 and
Wellington, initiating new recreation facilities in a cost efficient manner, and of course, dealing with and managing
the growth demands that are imposed by the Province and
the Region, with full sensitivity to our environment.
The Town has been working on a Strategic Plan that was
created nine years ago with periodic updates each term.
Given the messages identified through the past election
and changes that we have experienced over the past nine
years, I will be asking council to consider the development
of a new strategic plan, not an update, to set a new vision
with new goals and objectives to guide our future
direction.
In a quick analysis of elections across the GTA, it is
apparent that the growth issue and a desire for change,
have affected most municipalities.
We need to do a better job of communicating the whole
issue of growth, what we as a town have the power to control and what we do not have the power to control. I look
to the Provincial Government to support us with an objective dispute resolution process that is fair for all sides and
sensitive to our environment.
In recent communiqués from the Province, it appears
they are listening, as they strive to revamp the Ontario
Municipal Board to be more sensitive to the desires of
municipal councils.
As we commence our journey together, it is my hope we
can deal with the issues I have alluded to.
It is my hope we can accomplish this in a process that
maintains respect for one another, that keeps debate to
the issue and not personalities, and that honours decisions made by the whole and moves forward accordingly.
Letter to the Editor
Old Yonge parking
presents challenge
An open letter to Aurora
Council,
I wanted to take an opportunity to write to you, our
local Aurora councillors
about an issue recently
brought before you regarding parking in front of the
new restaurant on Old
Yonge Street here in
Aurora.
As my family resides at 9
Twelve Oaks Drive we are
back and forth on Old
Yonge Street many times
per day.
The intersection at St.
John's Sideroad and Old
Yonge has its challenges
as it is.
Since the restaurant
opened, however, and the
one side of the street has
been frequently lined with
cars, it has added an additional level of stress to the
neighbourhood.
During the evening especially now in the winter
Cathy’s
Corner
The only thing I really, really dislike about Aurora is that
it's about 43 degrees too far north of the equator for me.
I am not a sub-zero person. I am widely acclaimed as a
"winter wonder-wuss".
That means that for the past 15 years of soccer spectatorship, I would be the one wrapped in a sleeping bag
until about mid July.
That's when I'm ready to downgrade to a parka and thermal underwear. Maybe. If there's a heat wave.
I was born this way. Or maybe it started shortly thereafter. You see, in Old Country Macedonia, it is customary
to put babies in the oven to keep them warm. I think my
mother really messed me up.
Throughout my childhood, I was plagued by the desire
to crawl into the oven. I used to build a tent around the
heating grate, then put on my mittens and do my homework.
When I heard about the greenhouse effect in Grade 9
science, I dropped to my knees and shouted "Praise the
Lord!" through tears of joy.
The teacher said there would be palm trees in Toronto
by the time we kids turned 40. I couldn't wait to turn 40.
But it didn't happen. The greenhouse effect, I mean.
Since Aurora clearly isn't getting any warmer, I have
quite a collection of heat generating gizmos and gadgets
to increase my chances of survival.
For years, I whined and complained about the draft in my
bedroom. Come August, I dreamed (out loud…obsessively) about a f-f-f-fireplace in the b-b-b-bedroom.
My husband smiled and nodded at all the right times, in
all the right places, but he was just being polite in a
comatose kind of way. I could tell because it never mat-
when daylight is limited
and driving conditions can
be treacherous, it is
unnerving to come up the
hill on Old Yonge St. and
have to stay left to avoid
the parked cars, and also
have to deal with speeding
drivers coming down the
hill who can't see you
advancing.
Furthermore, as there are
no sidewalks, there can
often be pedestrians who
are walking or jogging on
the road to watch out for as
well.
I do not understand why
parking is required on Old
Yonge Street when the
restaurant has a parking
lot accessible from Yonge
Street.
My husband and I would
like very much to see parking prohibited on this
street.
Leslie Olexa
Aurora
I am just another
winter wonder-wuss
tered whether he was awake or asleep.
"Hmmm…yeah…warm…gotcha…your teeth are chattering."
Then, a few years ago, I started wearing my snowsuit in
September…to bed. I got my fireplace October 4th. It's
been heaven.
Some things are worth bringing out the heavy artillery
for.
I'm working on a hot tub now, so next week, out come
the big guns. I'm going to plaster the bathroom mirror with
pictures of hot tubs…and me in a bikini. Then, I'll write, in
red lipstick: HOT, HOT, HOT all around the frame.
Then I'll wait for him to ask me what I want for Christmas.
Then I'll say: "Oh, I don't know…amaze me!"
In the meantime, my winter wonder-wuss survival kit
includes hot water bottles, heating pads and slippers that
I nuke for two minutes before toasting my bunnies.
They're full of some kind of high tech heat-retentive
beans that really hurt when you try to walk on them.
But I only have to make it to the dryer, which I use to
warm up my clothes, my boots and my car keys.
If it were up to me, the guy who invented seat warmers
for cars would be on the biography channel, talking about
how he realized his dream of making the world a better
place to sit in. He's my hero.
Because I can handle 43 degrees - Celsius. But 43
degrees north of the equator?
I must love Aurora.
ED. NOTE: Cathy needs to get to know Rosemary,
the Auroran's owner. Rosemary thinks summer happens August 23. The rest of the time is winter.

Letter to the Editor
And now…the rest of the story
To the editor,
By DICK ILLINGWORTH
BOUQUETS to Councillor John West for once again organizing
the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Drive in Aurora
to assist those in need. Last year almost $17,000
was raised and the need this year is just as great.
Keep the Spirit of Christmas Alive by calling the
Mayor's office at 905-727- 1375, extension 260, to volunteer.
BRICKBATS to the Aurora Traffic Safety Advisory Board for recommending that the town's 24-hour parking
limit be reduced to a maximum of three hours
with a cost of $8,000 for the necessary signs,
when the town's bylaw enforcement officers don't enforce town
bylaws except on a complaint basis. BOUQUETS to council members for not approving it.
BOUQUETS to Aurora Artist Deborah Campo and all the kids at
the Charles Darrow Co-op for painting a mural
"Neighbour to Neighbour - 10 Years Together" to
commemorate the 10th anniversary of the co-op. For
the recent 15th anniversary the mural was presented to the Pediatric Imaging Centre of the Southlake
Regional Health Centre to be hung on the ceiling for young people
to see as they undergo testing.
BRICKBATS to members of Aurora Council or staff for not compiling an Unfinished Business list and producing it at council every meeting. Last February
council directed the Traffic Safety Advisory
Board to review the parking issues in the downtown core and to
recommend means to alleviate illegal parking by GO Transit commuters at the Temperance Street parking lot.
More BRICKBATS to the Bylaw Enforcement officers for not following up on complaints from the Yonge
Street merchants who complained about the
need to clean up vacant lots at the same
February,
2003,
meeting.
Where
are the reports?
BOUQUETS to Dr. Terry O'Connor on being elected President of
the York Region Federation of Agriculture. It is hoped
he can pound some sense into the heads of municipal politicians to encourage them to stop gobbling up
prime agricultural land for development, instead of
ensuring a food supply so that their children and
grandchildren won't go hungry. Preserving farm land is vital!
BRICKBATS to all municipal politicians who believe bigger is better and approve subdivision after subdivision
without considering the impact of the rampant
growth on the community, schools, recreational facilities and traffic. Could there be any connection between growth and developers' election campaign
expenses?
BOUQUETS to the St. Andrew’s College Saints on beating the
Markham Marauders 7-6 to win the Golden
Horseshoe Bowl East at the SkyDome. More BOUQUETS to 15-year-old Anton Bennett for returning a
kick-back 101 yards for the lone touchdown.
BRICKBATS to those at the federal government level for their ongoing record of inefficiency and waste. The
latest incident is the mailing out of hundreds
of new identification cards to newly landed
immigrants only to have them returned to
sender. It seems somebody forgot to include the postal codes!
BOUQUETS to Joan and Bruce Norman on their recent 50th
wedding anniversary. They are residents of Windsor
but Joan (Stephenson) was born and raised in
Aurora in a house where the new library is located.
She has fond memories of Aurora and is a regular
reader of the Auroran.
BRICKBATS to those in National Defence headquarters for
squandering $325 million on a new computer
system that doesn't work. An independent
report states that poor management added to
the cost. Can't they get anything right?
Like a good neighbour,
State Farm is there.

Just a brief note following
our telephone conversation
about Flo Murray's story on
Lloyd Chadburn and the
Chateau (Auroran, Nov. 11)
in which I informed you that
Lloyd and my uncle Norman
Bretz were best of friends
during World War II.
Both joined the air force,
probably in Toronto, and
were sent for training at
Uplands in Ottawa. In April
1940 when the air field was
first opened.
Most of Norm's training
was done at the Kitchener
Flying Club and I'm not sure
if Lloyd spent time there
as well for flying instruction/practice.
Their class graduated in
November 1940 and of the
class of 34, only six were
sent to England immediately while the remainder
became instructors at various bases being opened
across the country.
Lloyd and Norm were two
of the six to be transferred.
These pilots were posted
to the 112 Army Group
which later became the 402
'City of Winnipeg' Fighter
Squadron.
With
this
Squadron, they had their
initiation to enemy combat
in the spring 1941.
In the summer 1941, Norm
was transferred to 401 'City
of Mt. Royal' Squadron but
was back to the 402
Squadron shortly thereafter.
During the fall 1941 and
spring
1942
these
squadrons began 'intrusive'
raids along the coast of
France. These were very
daring attacks which could
be waged at any altitude
front.
The pilots preferred to be
at ground level often flying
in pairs over rooftops and
LLOYD CHADBURN
trees, called "hedge hopping". They became very
proficient in these tasks and
were unafraid to attack
German Luftwaffe fighters
as well.
Both Norm and Lloyd
received promotions during
this very active year; from
pilot
officer
to
Flt.
Lieutenant
to
Acting
Squadron Leaders. They
both were awarded the DFC
for leadership at Dieppe
and subsequently attended
the
Investiture
at
Buckingham Palace.
In late 1942 and into
spring 1943 Norm was the
Commanding Officer of the
411 Squadron, (The City of
North York).
In the spring of 1943 Lloyd
was promoted to Wing
Commander of the Digby
Fighter Wing consisting of
402 Squadron (Winnipeg)
and
416
Squadron
(Oshawa). In about May
1943, Norm was sent back
to Canada for a rest.
After a month's leave,
Norm was again posted
overseas where he attended the 'War Courses' at the
RAF College. It was about
a three-month course after
which he took over as Wing
Commander from Lloyd
Chadburn.
I believe Lloyd had some
leave at the time (Nov-Dec
on Yonge
Italian Restaurant
E
E
E
E
R
EE
F
FNR
NTR
E
R
E
1943) and when he
returned overseas, was
posted
to
RCAF.
Headquarters (overseas).
This was a desk job which
did not win Lloyd's approval.
He did everything he could
to get back in the cockpit
again.
Norm was recalled to
Canada in May 1944 and
the Digby Wing was disbanded. There was no particular position for him at the
Canadian bases but he was
soon the Chief Flying
Instructor at Bagotville then
was posted as C.O. of the
Repatriation Centre at
Rockcliffe, Ont.
In August or September
1944,
Norm
became
Commanding Officer of the
No. 1 Repatriation Centre at
Lachine,
Que.,
and
remained there until the end
of June 1945.
He married WAAF W/O
Elizabeth Bie at Rockcliffe
and was again transferred.
Prior to moving, Norm
attended, with Mrs. Allen
and her sister, the ceremony in Ottawa when she was
presented the Second DSO
for her son, the late W/C
Lloyd Chadburn.
Lloyd died June 13 in a
mid-air collision with his
own wing man following
their return to base from a
hit-and-run raid.
As you may know, fighter
pilots most often flew in
pairs just skimming the tree
tops to bomb their enemy
positions. In order that they
didn't blow themselves up in
these attacks, their bombs
were equipped with an 11
second delay fuse.
This allowed them "to get
the hell out of there".
From what I understand,
there was an accepted
practice of a "Victory Loop"
over the air field upon
returning from a successful
raid.
But, unfortunately, the
wings of these two planes

Letters to the Editor
Three council leaders
"principled", she says
To the editor,
A fresh term of office has
begun for the newly elected
Aurora Council and a clear
message has been sent by
the 33 per cent of the electorate who actually cared
enough to cast a ballot.
By looking at the actual
number of votes cast for
each candidate, it is obvious that people want
change.
Phyllis Morris, Nigel Kean
and Damir Vrancic are the
ones Aurorans feel can best
represent their interests
because of their clear cut,
principled, and ethical
stances taken in the past.
I hope that the "old guard"
will finally recognize that the
adversarial 5-4 split was not
working and that a new spirit of co-operation, mutual
respect and positive interaction is preferable.
The problems facing
Aurora are many: rapidly
increasing taxes that are
among the highest in the
GTA, protection of the Oak
Ridges Moraine, out of control development, transportation woes and water
shortages to mention a few.
I hope that the new council
will work to acknowledge
the concerns and needs of
the entire community with
its varied demographics.
Aurora runs the full gamut
from extreme wealth, to
fixed income and welfare
recipients.
Please keep this in mind
when assessing needs as
opposed to WANTS.

touched and the result of
this collision so close to the
ground was the death of
these two pilots.
In 1946, Norman returned
to Qttawa and received his
discharge. Apparently at
that time, he purchased "the
Chateau" from Mrs. Allen,
and became innkeepers
themselves.
Soon, they had some permanent residents who were
employees of the Ontario
Hydro working just north of
Aurora.
Norm and Elizabeth hired
a housekeeper "Hutch" who
looked after the guests, etc.
Norman never took up a
regular employment position and this couple did not
have children.
I suppose there were to
many stressful memories
and living in his friend's
house may have been detrimental.
Both Eliz and Norm were
alcoholics and both died in
1956, buried at Aurora
cemetery.
Norm had a full military
burial service with a fly past.
"Hutch", the housekeeper
had use of the Chateau for
as long as she wanted.
I visited there in 1962 and
she was most gracious.
Norm left his siblings, my
mother and their brother
Howard Bretz, both of
whom resided in Winnipeg
well. That's it.

The Honourable Dalton
McGuinty is using the socalled $5.6 billion deficit to
renege on his many election promises.
He said because of the
Harris, Eves government,
we have no funds for
schooling, no funds for hospitals and the builders can
build 5,700 homes on the
Oak Ridges Moraine.
A few years ago
the Honourable David
Peterson's bagman, Robert
Nixon, stated that the
Province of Ontario was
operating in the black.
The NDP won the election
to find Ontario was serious
dollars in the red.
This also happened to the
Honourable Mike Harris
when the PCs won.
So, what's new, Dalton?
I think the politicians
should tighten their belts,

Pomp and ceremony for new council
From page 1
are and how they can work
together to achieve those
goals.
He referred to Aurora participating in the Character
Communities
program,
which concentrates on
selected attributes including respect, honesty, fairness, integrity, dependability and responsibility in
working
relationships
amongst each other and
the public they served.
He spoke about the many
challenges facing council
including traffic and road
safety, business development, especially at 404 and
Wellington, initiating new
recreational facilities in a
cost efficient manner and
dealing with and managing growth with sensitivity
t
o
the environment.
Jones referred to the
town's strategic plan and
the changes that had
taken place in the nine
years since it was created
and said he would be asking council to consider the
development of a new
strategic plan with a new
vision and new goals and
objectives
to
guide
the future.
The mayor's speech is
reprinted in its entirety in
his column on Page 5
this week.
Members of council then
had the opportunity to
bring a brief message to
the audience.
No Aurora inaugural
would be complete without
the traditional exchange of
The Freedom of the Town
to the Queen's York
Rangers, which was originally presented to the regiment in 1966 to commemorate the 100th anniversary
of
the Rangers.
The Mayor read the
proclamation signed by
Mayor Clarence Davis in
1966 and presented the
Freedom to regiment's
Commanding Officer.

Off and on the ice
Tiger activity brisk
By TYLER NORWOOD
Off the ice, things have
been happening in the
world of the Aurora Tigers.
On the ice, things are pretty normal as the front-running hockey team chalked
up two more victories last
week.
Due to the recent acquisition of goaltender Luke
Oshell, the Tigers allowed
16-year-old backup, Marc
Stuart to sign with the
Junior A Wexford Raiders.
"He just didn't have the
experience in the playoffs
that we were looking for,"
General Manager and Head
Coach, Marty Williamson
said.
It was apparently a good
move for Stuart. So far he
has recorded six wins, has
a 2.17 goals against average, a .910 save percentage, and one shutout. He
will replace Andrew Mink as
the Wexford Raiders backup.
Last week, the Tigers were
missing several key players
including Alex LaLonde who
was suspended four games
for a crosscheck; Brent
Franklin who missed two
games for personal reasons; and rookie defenceman, Derek Joslin who
played with the Ottawa 67's
of the Ontario Hockey
League on the weekend.
In an Ottawa Sun article,
Reporter David Gross stated, "(Joslin) played well
beyond his young years…If
it's a glance at the 67's horizon, the outlook is sunny
and temperate."
After hearing the praise
heaped upon him, Joslin
stated, "I just go out and
play my game."
Meanwhile, Sunday afternoon in Ajax, the Tigers
managed to pull out of a 22 funk at the beginning of
the third to hand the
Axemen a 7-2 loss, their
second in two meetings this
season.
The Tigers didn't wake up
until the third period, and it
took an Ajax goal to do it.
Matt Bahen responded to
the tying goal with a deflection off a LeClair shot. It
would take another seven
minutes for the Tigers to
score, but when Sean
Scully notched the second
of the frame, the floodgates
opened.
Jesse Olden, LeClair, and
Joel Kitchen all tallied markers within five minutes of
each other to send the
Axemen packing.
With the missing bodies on
defence, Coach Williamson
was forced to move Gabe
Perreault alongside Tim
Whitehouse.
"I enjoyed it," Perreault
said. It was a pleasure to
watch the pair.
Kostka recorded his third
goal in just two games as
Oshell, in his first game as
Tiger, made 23 saves for
the win.
"I was kind of nervous," he
said. Oshell made several
excellent saves and, if this
game is any indicator, he
will prove a solid backup to
Chris Whitley. "I want to help
this team win the championship."
In Friday night action at the
ACC, the Tigers took on the
bottom-dwelling
Couchiching Terriers. But if
the Tigers were looking for
an easy ride, it wasn't to be.
A pair of goals by Kostka
had the Tigers up 2-1 over
the Terriers heading into the
third. Mike Thomson, goaltender for Couchiching,
faced 39 shots in those two
periods.
Despite 21 shots in the
final frame, Aurora managed only one goal as
Couchiching scored at the
midway point to bring them
within a goal of tying the
game.
With the goaltender pulled
and only a minute remaining, Couchiching put forth a
last-ditch effort to tie
Canada's top team.
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , for
Thomson, Couchiching just
didn't have the goals in
them. After making 60
saves in a stellar performance, all Thomson could
do was look at the scoreboard that read 3-2 for the
home team.
"If we dig down and give
110%, which we didn't give
tonight, we would have
been able to put the puck in
a lot more than we actually
did," Kostka said after the
game. "We know we have
to pull up our socks a little
bit."
The Tigers played
Vaughan Monday night but
results were not available at
press time.
They play Thursday in
Stouffville before hosting
Newmarket Friday at 8 p.m.
On Sunday afternoon,
Aurora continues the home
stand with a game against
Collingwood at 2:30 p.m.
Canadian swimming record holder Wendy Cimarno of Aurora takes a
breather during a fund-raising swim meet at St. Andrew's College Sunday
morning. About 35 swimmers were in the water to raise money for a British
girl who was burned in a fire. Hoping to raise $1,000, the group came up with
more than $2,500. A member of the Master Ducks Swim Club, Cimarno holds
three Canadian swim records in the 50-54 age group. Ducks were one of
more than 800 swim clubs (only four in Canada) who participated in the
fund-raising event.

18 - AURORAN, Week of December 9, 2003
York Region recommends
sanitary sewer update here
Axiom Group president Perry Rizzo stands beside his company's float that
was entered in the recent Aurora Santa Claus parade. His auto parts company has branched into Christmas decorations (inset) and sales have been
brisk. Company donated 50 to the Town of Aurora. Company manufactured
3,000 of the "lightspheres" this year. They're on sale at the Axiom location
on Mary Street, just south of Wellington East.

Axiom: decorations
alongside auto parts
By CHRISTINE WOODLEY
What do auto parts have to
do with Christmas decorations?
Connect the dots and
they'll lead to the Axiom
Group on Mary Street in
Aurora.
The world-class company,
which was founded in 1987
and has been in the old
Celestica location for two
years, produces electrical
harnesses, plastic injection
moulds and more for auto
makers all over the world.
The Axiom Group employs
150 people and operates
four shifts, 24 hours per
day.
President Perry Rizzo
explains how the company
is now producing twinkle
lights alongside the tooling
machines.
"My father had made a
large lighted sphere using
plastic cups. All the daughters-in-law asked him to
make duplicates for them.
But it was so time-consuming, we started thinking of
ways to produce a similar
product here," he explains.
The result is the
LightSphere, a geodesic,
clear acrylic product that
can be used any time of
year, but is especially festive at Christmas.
Aurorans may recognize
LightSpheres from the
Santa Claus Parade.
The Lightshapes Canada
float featured a tree made
entirely of the brightly-lit
spheres.
This year a limited run of
3,000 Lightspheres is being
produced in Aurora.
They are available by call-
ing Axiom or at White Rose,
Reeves, Bradford's Garden
Gallery and other retailers
in the area.
Each sphere is 15" in
diameter and comes fully
assembled with 200 clear or
coloured outdoor mini lights.
The float, spheres flashing,
remains in front of the Mary
Street plant.
And, you may be seeing
more of these unusual ornaments around town.
Mr. Rizzo has donated "as
many as they need" to the
Town of Aurora for their own
Christmas decorating.
Community involvement is
a touchstone of this company, whose clients include
Magna International,
Celestica and Xerox.
Mr. Rizzo, along with partners Rocco Di Serio and
Herb Jahn, believe they are
in business to serve not
only their customers, but
their employees and community as well.
"We're proud to be doing
business in Aurora and to
be a Canadian company
manufacturing here. We
always hear about the manufacturing sector dying, but
it's vital to keep it here,
because you employ not
only the labour force running the machines, but the
engineers and everyone
else who goes along with
the process," Mr. Rizzo
adds.
The company provides a
profit-sharing plan to each
employee as well.
And as for those Christmas
lights, a tour of the plant
unveiled a busy, warmly lit
corner and a stack of
LightSpheres ready for
delivery alongside the rest
of the auto making machinery.
And for Aurora's economic
vitality, that's very merry
indeed.
Last June York Regional
Council adopted recommendations regarding an
update in the sanitary sewer
systems infiltration and
inflow study in consultation
with the towns of Aurora,
Newmarket and Richmond
Hill.
The sanitary sewer system
is designed and sized
according to historical and
engineered data collected
and treatment plants are
sized accordingly.
Excessive amounts if infill
and inflow not only take up
some of the sewer systems
designed capacity but also
reduce the available treatment capacity and increase
the treatment cost.
Infiltration was described
as groundwater entering the
sewage system through
defective joints and broken
pipes, while inflow is water
discharged into the sewage
system from sources such
as roof leaders and foundation drains.
Two specific areas in
Aurora were identified by
the study that indicated
excessive infil/inflow. They
are the Mark Street subdivision and south of Wellington
Street.
The Mark Street subdivision is located east of Yonge
between
Mark
and
Catherine Avenue. The area
is more than 50 years old
and while most of the sewers have been replaced,
there are areas which still
have the original asbestos
cement and concrete sewer
pipes that exhibit defects,
including cracks, broken
pipes and displaced joints.
Roof leaders of at least six
homes and foundation
drains of approximately 146
homes were also identified
as connected to the sewer
system.
The other area is east of
Yonge
Street
between
Wellington
Street
and
Metcalfe Street.
Conditions are similar to the
Mark Street subdivision with
roof leaders from at least
four homes and foundation
drains of approximately 286
homes.
In addition, a major contributor to inflow in this area
includes an existing combined sanitary and storm
water sewer that runs diagonally from Wells Street to
Yonge Street.
Several measures have
been recommended to minimize the infill/inflow into the
sewage system, including
the lining of sewers, rectifying maintenance holes, disconnecting foundation drains
and converting the combined
sewer.
The town will need to identify homeowners willing to
participate in the disconnection of the roof leaders
and/or foundation drains and
review the program's cost
effectiveness, prior to the
start of any work.
Council received the report
as information and requested a further report when further information is available.
Police seek
witnesses
York Regional Police continues to investigate a serious
motor vehicle collision last
Tuesday, in the southwest corner of Aurora.
A 49-year-old Aurora man
was driving a Chevrolet Astro
van southbound on Bathurst
Street, about 500 metres north
of Bloomington Road.
For unknown reasons, he lost
control of the vehicle, hit wooden guard-rail posts on the west
side of Bathurst, then hit a
northbound Plymouth Voyager
van.
The Voyager spun into the
southbound lane and hit a
southbound Jeep.
Driver of the Voyager, a 73year-old
male
from
Downsview, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.
His wife, 67, who was in the
passenger seat, was airlifted
to Sunnybrook and Women's
Health Sciences Centre.
Police are seeking witnesses
to this crash. Call Crime
Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, if
you can help.

RUMOURS AND RUMBLINGS
Cemetery damaged
It was back in October, 1986, when two
young offenders were charged with, believe
it or not, removing a body from a coffin at the
Aurora Cemetery.
More than 20 headstones were knocked
over, a granite slab and a casket were
removed from the mausoleum and human
skeletal remains from a body that had been
interred five years before were found on the
ground.
The two unnamed young offenders who
were caught, one 16 and the other 17, were
members of a punk-rock cult according to
police.
They were charged with mischief causing
more than $1,000 damage and with causing
an indignity to a human body.
The Young Offenders Act, and its successor, is a joke, which makes young hoodlums
untouchable and the teenagers know it.
DO YOU REMEMBER?
If you were a motorist using Wellington
Street East at the Canadian National
Railway crossing in the mid-1980s you will
recall the dreadful, bumpy condition of the
roadway at the tracks.
While some improvements were carried out
by CN, the road was still bumpy.
In February, 1985, CN replied that during
1985 the wooden crossing planks would be
replaced, which would further improve the
riding quality at the crossing, but to do this it
would be necessary to close the roadway for
two days.
As the date selected was September 17,
1985, regional council enacted a bylaw closing the roadway as required, and the complaints stopped.
Later the planks were replaced with a rubber-type mat and the crossing became quite
smooth.

At the same time, there were more complaints from commuters about the parking
conditions at the station.
At the time the only parking lot was on
Ross Street east of the tracks and the only
access point was off Wellington Street,
which presented visibility problems, especially during the winter months.
Representatives of CN and GO Transit
agreed to review the situation and suggest
possible alternatives.
Some improvements were carried out,
such as an exit to Ross Street, but it was
much later when the large parking lot was
opened on the west side of the tracks, which
has since been enlarged to what is there
today.

In July, 1986, Joe Shaw, owner of the
Aurora Highlands Golf and Country Club,
put his condominium units to be built on the
club grounds on the market, designed for
gracious living.
Part of the marketing campaign was to offer
country club living with swimming, tennis,
golf, squash, racquetball, cross-country skiing, fine dining and much more in the Club
House at the doorstep of the condo units.
With the purchase of a unit, buyers
received a welcoming gift from the Golf and
Country Club, the payment of the full initiation fee, valued at $2,000.
Membership in the club lasted for a few
years until the golf course went into receivership, was sold at auction and the clubhouse
later demolished.
