We had an ice storm in December. Everyone acknowledges it was the worst in living memory.
Trees and branches laden with ice cracked and fell and were immediately frozen to the ground and for several weeks added ice encased them and snow covered them .
The winter continued ...on an on.
Finally in April, ice receded and the full extent of disaster is exposed.
Weeks pass and there is no indication of collection of what now constitutes yard waste.
A question at last night's committee meeting elicited no plans.
Other than the explanation of a collection in January.
I knew about that.Debris by then was mounded under the snow and
stuck fast in ice. No possibility of collection.
It was a critical time and more than enough criticism flying about. I said nothing.
But now.
Now we are engaged in a frenzied plan involving a committed giveaway of millions to attract a
university campus .
While we apparently have no plan to deal with debris from the worst ice storm in living memory
Basic service is not available but Oh My ...we are movers and shakers and practitioners in the high -wire world of academe...with millions to scatter about on the path to fame and fortune.

I am just grateful that York plans to make its decision fairly swiftly. This should not become a campaign issue clouding the rest of the term. Heck, I do not even understand what happened to the much-touted Fab Lab.
Realizing that this is all hush-hush, are we allowed to know if this " vision " involves any more property than the Hallmark site ?
So can I put out my brokwn branches next week?
12:58, regular yard waste pick-up started last week.
The behaviour of the majority of this council reminds me a children playing in a sandbox.
Once they master the intricacy of sand they graduate to LEGO.
But that's as far as they progress.
Pathetic.
Parks & Town Clean-up this weekend.
Nothing for residents except regular yard waste & none of that on Friday.
Was Brock Weir at the meeting ? The Auroran was down for maintenance and now has last week's issue.
I'd like to know what the total $ of this "bid" cost us. Planners, consultants, studies and of course staffs time. I'm sure there was a number of those on the sunshine list that burned the midnight oil on this pet project.
The bids were due on the 17th. Perhaps once that is past, the humble taxpayers can be told what Aurora has offered. Or " gifted " or whatever terminology is offered ?
Yeah, well. it is going to be costly. He is going to have to get all the ads for his election event at the Mansion reprinted. And heaven help him when people find out who is supplying the entertainment. Silly sod.
"And heaven help him when people find out who is supplying the entertainment."
Yeah, if he keeps shooting himself in the foot, Mayor Dawe will hardly have to campaign.
