*******************
Now they have the money from the town ,the erstwhile Aurora Historical Society is hiring .
I tried to copy the list of responsibilities and function of the job but was not successful.
The job pays $17.00 an hour for twenty-one hours a week.
The position answers to the Manager/Curator and is staff leader .
There are two pages of functions.
Each one one might expect to be carried out by individual members of an exectutive board.
It's an odd situation.
A board headed by the two genii who came up with the fantasy heritage park theme, who have apparently selected fellow executives of a phantom organization being provided with funds by the elected representatives of the town to hire a person to do everything they should be doing.
Chris, I will forward the communication to you . With your expertise you will no doubt have more success than I at re-producing it.

Good that you sent it to Christopher. He could do that job with one hand but likely wouldn't touch the thing. The pay is better than that of a site manager/book-keeper on a large new home location.
I though the town gave them the $ because they had to do repairs to the Hillary roof & the rotting window frames. Nothing was said about needing PR
Evelyn, if you call that # for the AHS, who answers ?
Chris would never get that job. One of their friends will. They probably already have a person lined up.
That doesn't leave much time for applications.
I would suggest that job position has little to do with Hillary House and a great deal to do with preparing the presentation on the Heritage proposal when the deferral period ends.
I dunno about this job. Time's are rough & that's good money. But would you want to work for people who talk about missions and visions after you googled the history of Hillary ?
Mr Watts does not need that job. I don't even think he would suggest anyone take it. But it becomes clearer every day that Aurora needs Mr Watts, either as is with his blog or on council or both.
A suggestion based on what, 17:02?
18:35
" by the picking of my thumbs "
Have you read Christopher today ?
Dear Evelyn:
This is being written to you as a member of Aurora Council.
Please have a look at the post by Christopher Watts dated today and headed HILLARITY HOUSE.
If even a small portion of what is written is true, and I believe it all to be, then the Town of Aurora had better get off its head in a hole in the ground and shut this building down until it has undergone all the necessary repairs and safety improvements that are demanded as a result of its use, which is in flagrant violation of its zoning.
I am not sure in whose name the title is registered. This can be quickly discovered.
It is my recommendation to Aurora Council that the town expropriate the property for starters. Following that, inspections by the various levels of the provincial and federal government mentioned by Mr. Watts. Following those, together with reports, it should be possible to quantify the costs of reinstating the building to the condition required by by-laws and other heritage definitions.
The building's future use should be a part of the aforementioned governmental inspections and reports.
In the meantime the Aurora Historical Society should be placed in a "holding status" with no further town funding.
This matter is important and it is urgent. Your attention in raising it with your fellow Council members and senior Staff should be immediate.
21:35, don't be a Chicken Little - the sky isn't falling.
You can't accept everything at face value, as there are often agendas at work.

You are probably correct. They seem determined to destroy themselves without any assistance. When the Auroran cartoonist gets it right, any proposal is doomed. They can survive anger perhaps but not ridicule. The Heritage Heist has become a bad joke.
Actually, 11:16, I was referencing the source of 21:35's reactionary panic attack.
12:18
Please do stop being so pretentious.
Pretentious? Moi?
Some days I hope that Hillary House will get struck by a lightning bolt.
End of story and AHS.
I've seen some pretty stupid comments on here, but 21:43's is supremely stupid, malicious, and disturbing.
Knowing that not all comments see the light of day, it's unfathomable to me that that one did.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Comments like that diminish this blog.
Perhaps a Phoenix will arise in glowing splendour
from the ashes and will lead a united community toward a new vision, shining in the sun.
