strike…
St. Andrew's students
get laptop computers
This September St. Andrew's
College embarks on a revolution in
education when every Grade 6 to
12 student will be issued with a
laptop computer.
The laptops will be able to access
the school network and the
Internet from almost any place on
campus.
Using computers in education at
the college began in the late
1970s with the introduction of
primitive computers and continued
over the years with a computer
and a digital projector in every
classroom.
In more recent years, every student had used a computer, either
his own, or one located somewhere on campus.
After extensive testing of various
laptop models, in June, 2002,
wireless laptops were issued to
faculty who were given an intense
three-day training session.
The use of laptops in the class-
room provided an evolution in
teaching methods. Previously,
teachers had limited resources,
textbooks and handouts.
With the laptop it's possible to
access newspapers, periodicals,
encyclopedias, and websites making the teaching process almost
magical, with an endless wealth of
tools and material.
The students have access to all
the same material, so they can do
more than just listen and can enter
the discussion online. It is believed
this will help a shy student who
may have difficulty in expressing
his thoughts in class. They can
continue the classroom work at
night, while studying.
The college leases the equipment to the student for two years
for one price, which includes the
computer, software, support, and
battery exchange.
Machines will be replaced every
two years.
At press time, negotiations
involving Canada Post and its
workers were continuing.
The union is in a strike position
effective Friday, July 18.
Since most of the Auroran's
15,000 copies are delivered by
the post office, there will be no
home delivery of next week's
newspaper if the workers carry
through with the strike action.
Given that eventuality, we will
increase the numbers of papers
that we drop at various locations
throughout the community, and
you may pick up copies during
regular business hours.
A complete list of newspaper
locations may be found on
Page 5.
This system will stay in effect
until the potential strike is settled.
If, on the other hand, everything
gets settled this week, well, just
ignore this message.
Briefly
Front yard store
For the past several years, Noreen Gardner has been turning
her front yard into a general store. This year is no exception.
Her annual yard sale has become a bit of a tradition, and this
year will be held Saturday, July 19, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Noreen's front yard is located at 58 Centre Street.
Proceeds go to the Aurora Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal
Canadian Legion.
Among the features will be a "Bag for A Buck" offer, which is
self-explanatory.
Aurora Councillor Nigel Kean was on hand Saturday to welcome cross Canada cyclist Rick Casey as he arrived in
Aurora for a brief ceremony. The 50-year-old disability services counsellor at a Kitchener college has been on the road
since May 4 when he left Victoria, B.C., en route to Cape
Spear, Newfoundland. A two-hour ceremony, highlighted by
a band - the Deloraines - took place at the Town Park
Saturday afternoon. The event was hosted by the Canadian
Mental Health Association, York Region Branch.
Petch family history dates back to the 1840s
By DICK ILLINGWORTH
Citizens hearing about the
agreement between the town
and Whitwell Developments to
temporarily locate the Petch Log
House until a permanent site
can be found for the historic
home may wonder who and
what were the Petch family.
The house, built in 1844, and
sitting
on
property
on
Wellington, east of Leslie, competes with Oakland Hall in
Aurora's north end, as one of
the oldest houses in York
Region.
(Oakland Hall, a newly-opened
restaurant, operates from the
former Red House, a building
that dates back to around 1845.)
The family name Petch may
not be as well known to citizens
of Aurora today, as it was during
the period 1915 to 1926 when C.
A. Petch was clerk-treasurer of
the municipality.
But the Petch family has had a
close connection to the town
and area for more than six generations.
Jonathan Petch and his sister
Rachel Petch Wells with their
families settled in Whitchurch
Township 185 years ago in 1817
and they were able to rent
reserve lands just down the road
from where the Wesley United
Church is today.
Of course, today, you have to
cross the busy Highway 404.
The road east from Machell's
Corners (as Aurora was then
known) was little more than a
wagon trail and at one time the
area
was
called

That on-going lease debate
between the Town and Theatre
Aurora was expected to get another hearing at a council meeting
this week.
Lease difficulties between the
town
and
Theatre
Aurora
appeared to be over way back in
1980.
A council-in-committee recommended Theatre Aurora be granted an exclusive rental option to the
Factory Theatre, the old concrete
block factory on Henderson Drive.
This followed a hot exchange
between Theatre Aurora members
and councillors.
Theatre Aurora president at the
time, Mike Heptinstall, said somebody on council wanted them out
of the building.
A string of accusations erupted at
the meeting and threatened to
undermine the reason for meeting,
but councillors finally agreed that
Theatre Aurora should be permanently accommodated in the
Factory Theatre.
The major issue was one section

Poor
Richard
There's no school
for our politicians
Training for politicians is needed,
So there ought to be a school;
To stop from saying silly things,
That makes them look a fool!
-Poor Richard's Scrapbook.
There is an old saying that many politicians have
never learned.
It is: "It is better to remain quite and thought dumb,
than to speak up and remove all doubt".
At times, they make the most ridiculous statements
without learning all the facts and try to bluff their way
through.
How is it that lawyers have to go to law school, doctors to medical school, police officers to police-college,
etc., but there is no school for politicians.
Yet they wield more power than many of the others,
make laws and usually spend more money. But no formal training is required.
Requirements included only a strong back, a hard
head, broad shoulders and a thick skin.
In the old days a citizen usually started as a member
of a home and school organization before running for
school trustee or the citizen would serve on a town
committee before running for a council seat. At least
they had some knowledge of the issues and the political process.
It was only after they had served their apprenticeship
as a councillor for a few years would they even consider running for office as an MP or MPP.
Now candidates jump into the fray without any qualifications, except their ability to raise election funds,
shake hands, kiss babies and make promises, that in
most cases that they can't keep, and wonder why voters are cynical.
If you are thinking of running for office in the
November 10 municipal election, it's time for action. In
fact, it's long past time as registration opened right
after January 1st.
As there isn't a school for councillors, it's a case of
self-education if you want to be an effective member of
council following the inaugural meeting.
Rather than learning about the various issues after
the election, the proper time to do it is before the election.
The only way this can be done is by attending council
and committee meetings on a regular basis.
This enables candidates to become familiar with the
many issues facing the municipality, the municipal process, and the role of a councillor and of council as a
corporate body.
It is also advisable to obtain a copy of the procedural
bylaw from the clerk's office to fully understand the
why's and wherefore's of parliamentary procedures as
practiced by the local municipality.
Visit the library to see if they have a copy of "You and
Your Local Government" by C. R. Tindal or the
"Municipal Councillors' Handbook" by Ian Rogers. Both
books provide an excellent overview of local government in Ontario and are well worth reading.
In order to get elected, it is necessary to get votes and
you can only obtain a person's vote if they know who
you are.
It used to be that candidates went up and down the
streets of the town knocking on doors to become
known, but with the growth of Aurora this is becoming
more and more difficult.
Don't wait until the very last minute to start making
appearances at various functions within the town, as
your intentions become very obvious.
At one time members of the Aurora Legion commented that they could always tell when the election was
near by the number of strangers visiting the Legion
Hall.
One effective way to meet people on a one-to-one
basis is to ask your friends to throw a coffee party for
you and invite a few neighbours in to meet you.
Before doing so get yourself primed on some of the
potential problems facing the people and how you
believe such problems can be solved, but don't make a
promise to do so.
On council you only have one voice and one vote and
it is only council when acting as a corporate body that
has any decision-making power.
The same applies to all-candidate meetings. Get to
know the issues and the only way you can do this is by
attending council and committee meetings.
The only school for politicians is the School of Hard
Knocks.
Given that renovation completion of the Church Street School is only a few weeks away, we thought it
was time to drag out another graduating class from a time when the school was in its heyday. Above,
meet the Grade 4 class from 1948-49 and we're sure there are a few names you will recognize. As usual,
a question mark appears when we can't identify a student, and we seek your help filling in the blanks.

Letters to the Editor
CT comment an "insult": reader
To The Editor:
To quote the Aurora
Canadian Tire (CT) representative in the letter to the
editor which appeared in
the July 1 edition of the
Auroran, "Aurora is one of
the highest per capita
income areas in the GTA
and that is why we can
charge more", is an absolute insult to me.
I built a house in Aurora in
1996 and have done everything possible to shop locally, to support Aurora commerce.
I find the comment from a
CT store representative to
be
ostentatious,
and
although I never had any of
the services provided at CT
as per the article, I will boycott the Aurora CT Store on
mere principle.
Let me continue by adding
an analogy that would allow
Pizza Pizza in Aurora to
charge more for the same
pizza in Aurora than it does
in Newmarket.
After all, aren't both Pizza
Pizza and Canadian Tire
stores franchises?
I hope other Aurorans take
the same action as I, and
will continue to boycott until
the Auroran publishes a
comment
from
the
Canadian Tire Corporation,
with a valid explanation, or
better yet, their actions to
correct this issue.
I wonder if the employees
at CT in Aurora are being
paid more than those in
Newmarket.
After all, "Aurora is one of
the highest per capita
income areas in the GTA,"
and if CT Aurora can
charge more, then they can
pay their employees more.

Aurora
Shopper's vent was
misdirected, reader says
To the editor,
The person who had the
beef about pricing should
have vented directly to the
Canadian Tire Corporation
head office (letter, Auroran,
July 1) and it would have
been looked into promptly.
Instead, they chose to publicize it and, in doing so, got
the person fired, when he
had no control over setting
the prices of the particular
store. That is the owner's
job.
I have lived in Aurora for
24 years and it hasn't
changed in that aspect.
Prices have always been
higher at almost all the
other
stores
in
Aurora…CTC just took a little longer time catching up
and they weren't so subtle
about it.
You have a choice to go
elsewhere if it is just more
convenient to use that store
than pay the price and stop
whining.
Conveniences always cost
more and no, I am not a personal friend, but I have dealt
with CTC head office about
another store and got
results.
I hardly ever shop in
Aurora; check out the clothing, furniture or ever hardware prices.
Thank goodness we are
getting some regular type
stores, like Zellers - not my
favourite - and Home
Depot.
Face the facts, Aurora is a
pricey town to live in;
always has been and probably always will.
C. Wong
Aurora
ED. NOTE: There is no
evidence to support the
statement an employee
lost a job over this issue.
Buck makes valid point
To the editor,
Reference Jayne St.
Anton's letter in the Auroran
July 8 regarding Evelyn
Buck's letter July 1.
In her letter, Ms. Buck
made the point that a person who represents the
people of Aurora on our
town council should also
live in Aurora.
I feel that this is a valid
point and a separate issue
from Ms. Pedersen's contributions to our community
when she lived in Aurora.
Wendy Gaertner
Aurora
ED. NOTE: Aurora's
Canadian Tire store manager, who expressed his
disappointment with the
Auroran for not notifying
him prior to the July 1 letter being printed, has
been offered space on
this page to respond.

AURORAN, Week of July 15, 2003 - 5
Cathy’s Corner
Machell’s Corners
by Scott Johnston
Assembly
required
When we first moved to Aurora, I was the perfect
woman.
I cooked, cleaned, produced babies and puttered
in the garden.
Within months, I began evolving into the perfect
man. Must be something in the water.
I am into landscape construction. I haul wheelbarrows brimming with topsoil, gravel, sand,
stones and sometimes, children. I have the
biceps to prove it.
I don't redecorate rooms. I carve them out of
basements with my bare hands.
We're talking drywall, built ins, indestructible
floors, and soundproof insulation.
I have teenagers, and occasionally, I still think
like a lady with sensitive ears and a genetic predisposition to keeping messes confined to remote
areas of the house.
I didn't set out to become the perfect man. In
fact, I didn't even realize it was happening until it
was too late.
One day, my son brought all his friends over to
admire my biceps. Half the population of nineyear-old boys in Aurora aspired to grow up to be
just like Tim's mom. My husband cried for a week.
I am living proof that Gloria Steinhem was right:
Many of us are becoming the men we wanted to
marry.
Once, when my husband came home from work,
horrified to find me up on a ladder a few rungs
from the roof, he shook his head in dismay and
pleaded: "Cathy, why do you do this?"
I called down: "Because you don't."
He says he will. But he never does.
He's a Mark Twain fan: "Never put off until tomorrow what you can put off until the day after tomorrow."
He says his clients need everything yesterday, so
household maintenance is the only flexible
scheduling luxury he has. I don't buy it.
What I do buy is furniture that comes in a big flat
cardboard box containing 1,189 pieces.
The first time, it sat in the garage long enough for
me to forget what it was and buy another one.
The second time, I metamorphed into the perfect
man.
The fact that the instructions came in languages
including Greek, Chinese and Arabic, but not
English, didn't bother me at all. Now I was thinking like a man.
What bothered me was that after I was done, the
desk looked a lot like the desk in the picture,
except I had a whole bag of pieces that I didn't
know what to do with. Now I was thinking like a
man with half a brain.
When my husband came home, I proudly displayed my accomplishment.
Like the well trained spouse I have sculpted him
to be, he made a wide array of approving sounds,
but spoke no words.
This put me at ease, so I felt comfortable enough
to start complaining about the bag of extra hardware.
"Who packs these boxes, anyways?" I jabbered.
(Must have been a man, I was thinking) "Look at
these things here! They gave me four of them and
I can't imagine what earthly use they could be!"
"Those are the legs, Cathy." He said calmly,
"That's why there's four of them."
How he managed to keep a straight face, I will
never know. My superior sculpting abilities, no
doubt.
"Oh," I said, and after a long pause, I added, in
my best damsel in distress voice: "Could you help
me turn it over?"
So, maybe I am not the perfect man. But I do a
good imitation.
Letters to the Editor
New youth centre needs
to be in downtown core
To the editor,
I think it is great that the
town is going to get more
land to build more, much
needed, amenities.
I think it is unfortunate
that these amenities will
be at the far reaches of
the town forcing people to
either drive or endure a
poor transit system to take
advantage of them.
It should be a priority for
Aurora, and indeed every
town, to try to support and
encourage development
which allows at least part
of the town to have access
to most if not all amenities
without any need of vehicular transportation.
To this end while it may
be acceptable to put a
second swimming pool
way out there, the youth
centre should be in the old
core.
Ours is a one-car family,
which is a rarity in Aurora.
The few there are, I
expect, are mostly concentrated in the old core,
because this is the only
place in town where you
can live and be within
easy walking distance of
just about everything.
If the town made an effort
to keep sufficient services
here and support intensification
developments
rather than sprawling subdivisions, we could keep
our outlying farmland,
have more families with
fewer cars, and still allow
for population growth.
This would allow us to
maintain a small town feel,
and help with the country's
Kyoto commitments.
The town could then also
define other intensification
nodes creating more such
environmentally friendly
neighbourhoods.

Signs mar Pathway of Peace
To the editor,
The Pathway of Peace
setting at Wellington and
Temperance Streets looks
like a nice location for a little relaxation.
However on the weekends
the corner has a multitude
of signs promoting house
sales and it looks disgusting.
Can the council members
who are so concerned
about dotting their (i)s and
crossing their (t)s in their
council minutes take some
action on this?
I also think that even
Frank Hawkins would like
this corner if, indeed, he
came out of his "bedroom"
or took his head out of the
sand.

Letter to the Editor
By Dick Illingworth
BOUQUETS to 11-year-old Haley Kirk of Aurora on earning the
right to compete in the recent Irish Dancing World
Championships held in Ireland. She placed 32nd
out of 110 dancers. To keep in competitive form she
practices three time a week at the Newmarket Irish
Dance Studio, as well as at home.
BRICKBATS to those at the Aurora Town Hall for failing to take
action on the dangerous traffic safety conditions on Gurnett Street from Kennedy Street
south to Cousins Drive with parking permitted on both sides of the street as overflow from the Yonge Street
medical clinic. Just try getting a fire truck through that clogged
area.
More BRICKBATS for failing to report on the members and
terms of reference of the members of the
Citizen Advisory Committee on Council
Remuneration. Applications closed May 16
and citizens might be interested who is representing them on this
important committee.
BOUQUETS to 83-year-old William Hope of Aurora on wining
$250,000 on a recent Encore ticket. He won a free
ticket and it matched all six numbers of the winning
Encore number.
BRICKBATS to the Ministry of Education and the York Region
District School Board for not following up on
the requirement for school boards to have a
student dress code implemented by
December 2001, as announced by Education Minister on
February 12, 2001. The dress of some students, male and
female, attending Dr. G. Williams Secondary School is a disgrace.
BOUQUETS to Jim and Jean Spring for donating 64 acres of
wetland in the East Aurora complex to Ducks
Unlimited. Also to the Ministry of Natural Resources
for announcing a $1 million investment, along with a
similar amount from Ducks Unlimited to create an
Urban Wildlife Park as envisioned by Aurora's David Tomlinson.
BRICKBATS to Aurora Council for speaking out of both sides of
their mouth about the preservation of the
wetlands. Mayor Tim Jones is quoted as
saying that council was unanimous in wanting to preserve and keep what they could of the area's natural
environment. But this is the same council that fought Tomlinson
at an OMB hearing when he appealed a council decision to
reduce the buffering zone around the wetlands from the provincial guideline of 120 metres to 15 to 35 metres, and the town and
developer won.
BOUQUETS to CHATS for the informative Seniors Resource
Directory, which was recently published. It provides
a wealth of valuable information for seniors and
caregivers.
BRICKBATS to the Eves Tory government for even considering
writing off $700,000 in back taxes and
exempt all future taxes for a kid's camp in the
Premier's riding. Neighbouring Tory MPP Ted
Arnott says he was asked to introduce the Private Member's Bill
by Eves staff, which they denied, especially when the publicity
hit, resulting in the withdrawal of the bill.
The Hayes family goes through the Highview Public School yearbook, looking for a graduation photo
of their daughter, Kailey, above right, but to no avail. Handicapped student was overlooked, mom,
Shelly, says in the letter below. Also at the table are brother, Jared, 10, and dad, Pat.
Auroran photo by Ron Wallace
No photo of daughter
in Highview yearbook
To the editor,
Like many families,
ours has gone through a
Grade 8 graduation this
past June.
Ours was a little different than most.
I did not get to take my
daughter shopping for a
prom dress, or to get her
BOUQUETS to all the staff and volunteers who organized the
various July First activities for Aurorans to enjoy.
The addition of the Kid's Sidewalk Art Contest was
an excellent idea and should become an annual
event, but with more participants, especially nursery
schools and day care centres. But where were the signs on the
sides of the cars for the Citizen of the Year and other dignitaries?
BRICKBATS to parents who risk the lives of their children by not
properly installing or using child care seats
in their cars. At least 180 of the 200 checked
on the holiday weekend by the OPP were
found to be faulty!
Like a good neighbour,
State Farm is there.

hair done.
Our family did not sit
through a tear jerking
ceremony, snapping pictures while our graduate
proudly marched down
the aisle with her classmates.
Our graduate was in
the multi-handicapped
class and does not have
the developmental capabilities to participate in
that type of ceremony.
Imagine our excitement
when on the final day of
school, her yearbook
was found shoved into
her knapsack.
It is a beautifully bound
hardcover, covered in
colourful leaves, with
the school name displayed proudly under a
large '03' (it's better
than my high school
yearbooks).
My son cracked it open
and starting flipping
through it.
"Mom, she's not in
here."
Nonsense, she has to
be in there, let's look
again.
Not a single class picture of the MH class can
be found.
Well, let's look at the
grad pictures. I know
she must be there, after
all, I paid for her grad
pictures.
We flip to the H's, no
picture.
I flip through
the entire book several
times and find nothing.
Not a single pose or ran-
dom snapshot of our
graduate.
We would like to take
this opportunity to thank
the Highview Public
School
Yearbook
Committee for negating
one of the few milestones that our daughter/sister
will
ever
achieve.
This book will be
returned in September.
We have no need of
empty memories in our
home.

defeat
Nomads
The Aurora Barbarians
Men's U-16 team continued their winning ways
in league play Saturday
with their third consecutive victory.
They defeated the
Nomads 22-17 in a contest played at Victoria
Square's
Fletcher's
Field but had to hang on
to a large lead to
accomplish the victory.
The Barbs had their
opponents on the ropes
22-0 by half time, then
hung on to secure the
win and the bonus point
for scoring at least four
tries.
The first half represented the best rugby
played in the year to
date for Aurora and
augurs well for the post
season.
The tries were scored
by Tony DeVries, Will
Johnston, Matt Privou
and Kevin Whelan.
Vince De Cevita added
a conversion.

Action was fast and furious Sunday afternoon at Fleury Park as the Aurora
Barbarians Under 16 rugby team met a visiting squad from England. Barbs,
after losing a game to a British team a week ago, turned the tables to come
up with a convincing victory.
Barbs reverse strategy
with big win over visitors
After being thumped by
a British rugby team a
week ago, the Aurora
Under 16 Barbarians
reversed the field in a
second exhibition game
Sunday.

Aurora
Diggers
head to
Windsor
The Aurora Diggers
Bantam Tier 1 girls' softball
team is headed to the
provincials.
The plucky squad played
its heart out last weekend in
Whitby to achieve the goal.
Entered in the Provincial
Women's
Softball
Assocation qualifiers tournament, the Aurora squad
scooped one of eight spots
available in the playdowns.
That event will be held in
Windsor later this month.
With two wins and two
losses the girls secured a
silver medal in the Whitby
double knock out tournament.
The Diggers opened the
tournament with a 5-1 victory over Markham Saturday
morning to guarantee at
least a third place finish.
As the luck of the draw
would have it, they secured
a bye Friday night, so it took
only one victory to secure a
trip to Windsor.
In game two, Saturday
afternoon, the Diggers were
up against the top ranked
team in the tournament, the
Scarborough Spirit.
Please see page 14
tured a convincing 42-15
victory.
The Aurora squad produced 17 points in the
first half and added five
more tries in the second
half to secure the victory.
Vince De Civita had two
tries and a conversion for
the winners.
Single tries went to
Scott Baker, Matt Privou,
To n y D e V r i e s , Kyle
Cresswell, Will Johnston
and Sandy Craig.
After the game Aurora
entertained their guests
with a barbecue before
bidding farewell to the
visitors who will continue
their two-week tour of
Ontario.

AURORAN, Week of July 15, 2003 - 13
Teens mugged
on Kennedy St.
A helicopter, ambulances, police cruisers and fire department equipment raced to Aurora's Quebecor
Printing plant Thursday morning when an employee got caught in a machine. The 33-year-old employee from Barrie was airlifted to Sunnybrook where he remains in stable condition. The employee was
repairing machinery used in the packing of recyclable paper when his legs became entangled in the
moving parts. The Industrial Safety branch of the Ministry of Labour is investigating.

York Regional Police
are still seeking four
men who accosted two
teenagers in Aurora
recently.
The pair, both 17, were
walking on Kennedy
Street
near
George
when
they
were
approached by several
suspects who demanded cash.
One of the youngsters
was hit with a baseball
bat and the other with a
metal bar.
The suspects removed
a knapsack containing
clothing from one of the
teens and took the
other's wallet.
Both youngsters were
treated
for
minor
injuries.
Police are after four
men, three whites and a
black.

Theatre Aurora lease back at council
and council with little or no
difficulty.
On December 31, 2001,
the lease expired and the
theatre group assumed the
lease would be renewed on
the same terms.
At that time Theatre Aurora
had exclusive use of the
theatre, paid an annual rent
of $2, paid all utility costs
and maintained the interior
of the building.
At the August 21, 2001,
council meeting a staff
report advised that lease
discussions were underway
with Theatre Aurora.
During the meeting staff
introduced
modifications
such as rent at market
value, community access
and
annual
financial
changes.
The Theatre Aurora executive rejected the suggestions for market rent and
community access. Staff
suggested that if a satisfactory agreement could not be
reached
with
Theatre
Aurora, a new tenant would
require lead-time to plan for
the 2002-2003 theatre season.
As the staff report came as
a bolt of the blue for most
council members, Councillor
Ron Wallace gained support
to defer the report until such
time as Theatre Aurora representatives could appear
before council to present
their case.
Philip Brooks appeared for
Theatre
Aurora
in
September, 2001, with
members packing the council chambers. In a well prepared brief he spoke about
the history of Theatre
Aurora and how members
had converted a heap of
rubble into a well-equipped
community theatre.
Former Mayor Evelyn Buck
gave a strong, emotional
presentation of the trials and
tribulations
of Theatre
Aurora in the early days and
the close relationship with
council.
She said that she had difficulty believing a staff member would recommend market rent and community
access, when everything in
the building belonged to
Theatre Aurora.
Council agreed to extend
the lease until June, 2003,
with exclusive use, and
directed staff to negotiate a
long-term lease on similar
terms with Theatre Aurora.
At the December 11, 2001
council meeting, councillors
were advised that Theatre
Aurora had agreed to the
lease until June 30, 2003,
as agreed to by council.
The issue is now back on
the table. Stay tuned for further developments.

From page 1
of the original agreement,
which assured Theatre
Aurora of eventual takeover
of the building at $1 per year
rent.
For legal reasons the town
included a clause stating the
building should be for public
use.
And that argument has
been brought up ever since.
That was interpreted by
Theatre Aurora executives
as meaning any public
group could use the Factory
Theatre, so the theatre
group no longer had exclusive use of the facility.
Councillors decided
Theatre Aurora be given the
right to take over the building for a rent of $200 per
month, plus 70 per cent of
the building's energy costs
and assume full janitorial
duties on a four-year contract.
Then Councillors Earl
Stewart and Ron Simmons
were in opposition.
Stewart argued the proposed lease was not sufficient to cover the increasing
cost of energy. He claimed
the town had lost $12,000
on the previous lease with
the theatre group.
Theatre Aurora members
pointed out that the roof and
one of the furnaces were in
bad shape and the building
needed a lot of work. Finally
all differences were settled,
and Theatre Aurora was
established in the Factory
Theatre for the near future.
For more than 40 years,
Theatre Aurora, formerly the
Aurora Drama Workshop,
has produced excellent
community
theatre
for
Aurora residents.
In the early days they presented their plays wherever
they could find a stage, such
as a high school or St.
Andrew's College.
In 1969, with the closing of
the concrete block factory
on Henderson Drive, they
found a home. The town
acquired the old building
and property, and over the
years members of Theatre
Aurora renovated the old
factory into a real theatre
with tiered seating, lobby,
lighting and sound equipment.
Lease arrangements were
worked out between the

14 - AURORAN, Week of July 15, 2003
RUMOURS & RUMBLINGS
Mayor could read "riot act" if there was one
The nights not only provided fun and friendship but also
provided healthful exercise for the participants of all
ages.
According to Hetherington, modern square dancing provides a glad-to-be-alive feeling.
The Aurora Swingers performed at Ontario Place and
were the first square dance organization to perform at the
Metro Convention Centre.
They were such a hit, a second engagement was
arranged.
Unfortunately the Aurora Swingers are no longer swinging as a group.
The Municipal Act provides the head of council with the
authority to read the "Riot Act", but nowhere does it provide any information what to read or when.
However the Criminal Code stipulates that a "justice,
mayor or sheriff, or the lawful deputy of a mayor or sheriff, who received notice that at any place within the jurisdiction of the person, 12 or more persons are unlawfully
and riotiously assembled together shall go to that place
and, approaching as near as is safe, shall command
silence and there upon make or cause to be made in a
loud voice a proclamation…"
Now you know.
Back in the mid-1970s on a Halloween night, more than
1,000 young people gathered on Yonge Street between
Cousins Drive and Dunning Avenue and started to throw
eggs at police officers and passing cars.
Police Chief Bruce Crawford was alerted and he called
Mayor George Timpson in case it was necessary to read
the Riot Act.
As the youths started to disperse such action was not
considered necessary, but it was close.
AURORA STUDENTS PURCHASED SUPPLIES
It's hard to believe today but back in the early 1960s,
elementary students in Aurora's one public school (Wells
Street) had to purchase their own pencils, rulers, notebooks, etc.
In 1963, newly elected Aurora trustee Dick Illingworth
was amazed to find such a condition existed.
In discussing the situation with some of the teachers, it
was found that in many cases the teacher purchased the
necessary supplies out of their own pocket, because for
some reason or other the students didn't have the money.
After some discussion the board agreed that the miscellaneous consumables should be supplied and a decision was made to go to tender.
At that time the administrative staff of the Aurora Public
School Board consisted of a part-time secretary-treasurer and board meetings were held in his recreation room.
The task for preparing the supply specifications was left
to Illingworth, as it was his idea, and school principal Del
Babcock.
While the cost of the supplies was a charge to the
board, parents were better off in the long run due to the
lower prices of buying in quantity and supplies were
always readily available.
CONTROVERSIAL ALLAURA
BOULEVARD PROPERTY
Sometime before 2001 Aurora council on a split vote
agreed to sell an irregular parcel of town-owned land on
Allaura Boulevard to a developer for $6,000.
It was argued that the land was of little use to the municipality, whereas it would provide a developable lot for
industry.
The selling of the lot was back before council in
February, 2001, as the purchaser of the property was
advertising the sale of the property, including the former
town property, for $239,000 per acre.
Other than piling up topsoil creating large water ponds
on the property, it sits there providing an unattractive
appearance to the whole area.
The sale should have been conditional on the land
being developed within a certain period of time.
The place is a mess!
REMEMBERING AURORA'S GERRY FOSTATY
Back in the 1980s Aurora's Gerry Fostaty was quite well
known in theatrical circles but was a stranger in Aurora.
Singing was part of his life since he sang in the choir in
his home town of Montreal.
He started performing in community theatre in the early
1970s, which led to a career as a semi-professional and
later as a professional.
In 1988 he auditioned for a play at Hotel Aurora and
recalled the long bus ride from Toronto.
He fell in love with Aurora and shortly afterwards moved
here with his wife, Angie. He was a regular performer at
the Orillia Opera House, at the Skylight Theatre in North
York and summer theatre in Meaford.
WHEN AURORA SWINGERS STEPPED OUT
Back in 1985 more than 40 residents gathered every
Wednesday evening at Devins Drive Public School to
perform a truly Canadian tradition, the old fashioned
square dance under the direction of Des Hetherington, a
caller with more than 19 years' experience.
This was the beginners group.
On Friday nights at Wells Street Public School, the more
experienced dancers, dressed in western shirts and
neckerchiefs for the men and fancy hooped dresses for
the ladies, the Aurora Swingers were in their element.
Diggers to Provincials
From page 11
The bad news was the
Diggers took it on the chin,
9-0.
The good news was that
Aurora was not mercied by
the Spirit in that game as
many teams were throughout the tournament.
In their third game, this
one against Whitby, they
got back to their winning
ways, coming out on top 10 in a very tight defensive
game.
Aurora was able to manufacture a run part way
through the game and
hang on to advance to the
gold medal game against

Scarborough.
Aurora fought hard but
came up short losing 11-1
to win the silver medal.
The team's goal is to place
in the top three at the
provincials
which
will
advance them to the nationals to be held in British
Columbia in August.

Family history dates back to the 1840s
For his 200 acres, he
paid 175 pounds, which
granted him and his heirs
the land forever.
After receiving the deed
to his land one of his first
acts was to provide space
for a church.
The original church on
the site was called Petch's
Chapel and in 1881 the
existing brick church was
constructed.
Of the seven Petch chil-
From page 1

Petch was a religious
man and there were early
gatherings and revival
meetings with saddlebag

dren, the youngest was
John who carried on the
family farm.
He married Anne
Elizabeth Lloyd in 1847.
She was the niece of
Jesse Lloyd, founder of
Lloydtown,
who
was
forced to flee the country
after the 1837 Rebellion.
Albert Petch was the
eldest son of John and
Elizabeth Petch.
He was born September
Rear view of Petch log house
by the chief constable.
He was on duty continuously for years, 24 hours
a day, helping to keep
Aurora on an even keel.
Family members could
recall the fire whistle
going in the middle of the
night causing Albert to
rush down to stoke up the
boilers and the whole
building would shake as
the engines got up their
steam.
He was engineer for the
fire department, street
superintendent,
weed
inspector, truant officer,
and laid most of the sidewalks, as well as being
town constable, on call
11, 1851, and attended
Hartman Public School
(the building on the hill,
north side of Wellington
just east of Bayview).
He was married in 1873
and moved to Aurora,
where he became Chief
Constable for the village,
as well as assuming many
other duties.
When the village was
incorporated as a town in
1888 and as work was
being completed on the
new waterworks building
on Yonge Street, he and
his family moved into
quarters
above
the
engines and boilers.
They lived there until he
was appointed town clerk
in 1915. They then moved
to
Catherine
Avenue
where he lived until his
death in 1926.
The Petch youngsters,
Della,
Herbert
and
Charles, attended school
classes in the Mechanics
Hall and the Town Hall
before the new school on
Church
Street
was
opened in 1886.
Eva, Viola and Marjorie
were also Petch children.
The market in Aurora in
the early days was a thriving activity and the operation had to be supervised
night and day at a time
when arrests for drunkenness were a daily occurrence with five hotels in
town.
The Petch family had a
long history with Aurora
and it is only fitting that
the Petch Log House
should be preserved in
tribute to a long-time
Aurora family.
The site of the house will
soon become Canadian
headquarters for State
Farm Insurance, but officials are working to relocate the historic building
somewhere else on the
property and possibly turn
it into a restaurant.
