Blogger given 24 hours to Get Out of Town!
I was sent an e-mail - not mail but e-mail - ordering me to remove any and all references or connection to Town of Newmarkett official events or website and of showing any town logos within 24 hours from my blog post address. I have purposely spelled the town's name wrong so it does not get deemed having been used in any official capacity. Ha.
Q:Does this mean people can't attend town events and post pictures of anything on FB, or blog about it, or reference it if it's a town event?
I don't think so big brother....but you can try.
I've looked at my blog content at the blogspot location they sent me and saw nothing even remotely connecting myself or TPE to the town in any official capacity nor deemed me trying to connect myself with the town's events in any official capacity nor any other entity as such. I've removed one link essentially promoting them and some event pics now.
I've been told by a considerable number of business owners and residents, including a number of town councillors, that my unofficial promotions of / for events in the town (not always run by town) should be commended.
On occasion a blog opinion doesn't match the town's official position but so what? I'm not an agent of them nor did I ever claim to be, just a resident I'd thought, who grew up here and still happens to give a crap. Blogs are for opinion and sharing things. Period.
Perhaps someone didn't like me posting a picture of the sign they have which is a life sized likeness of the guy in charge of the budget putting coins in a piggy bank that was sitting inside the town offices, or the street sign that advertises Newmarket's place in the world according to a magazine's opinion - of which I called both wastes of money. Can they legally silence opinion?
By the way, I volunteered to be on an organizing committee for a recent Town of Newmarket event, as well as I ran a booth at it with free activities and prizes for kids, and there in front of the rest of the dozen or so attending organizing volunteers, I specifically mentioned to a staffer who'd asked us to spread the word of the event that I could blog about it and was encouraged to but apparently the legal department wasn't informed.
No matter, I could use the publicity as a fledgling blogger getting pressured for perhaps politically motivated reasons should it come to that I guess. Not saying they are, but someone's miffed. Meantime...Time's a wasting!
These things are mentioned and shown because they need to be. Waste is waste and corruption begins with censorship.
Meantime I must get ready for the upcoming Friendly Neighbourhood Youth Road Hockey Challenge upcoming at the Newmarket Community Centre and Riverwalk Commons - but has no DIRECT or indirect CONNECTION TO THE TOWN JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR. Although there was at one time and at that time insisted we use the logo but so we're clear there is
NO TOWN AFFILIATION WHATSOEVER.

End Obesity, reduce poverty and restart After-School Activities through Road Hockey!!
Hey whoda' thunk road hockey could be the medicine to sooth what ails society?

ROAD HOCKEY THAT'S WHAT!
Especially March break when you can look through your kitchen window and see/know your kid is safe and active.
That was our idea of "after school programs" when I was a kid growing up in Aurora. In fact we used to use Eaton's catalogues tied to our legs for goalie pads we were so poor. Okay so that didn't happen, but to some it was a reality!
Sometimes we'd play on teams for our street (Dunham vs Sunray anyone!?) or neighbourhood or even town, as I recall a bunch of us walking to Newmarket to play one time. But our neighbourhood (Aurora Heights) had some great players not known to the ice game and we were tough to beat no matter who we played or what age our opponents.
Our cross town rivals were Regency Acres and we'd pull a net across town for it and even George St used to field a good team but we rarely, if ever, lost. One kid as I recall was an amazing road hockey player, the best of us all, and when I asked why he never played ice hockey he'd said it was because he couldn't skate. I'd seen him skate though and thought he wasn't all that bad but had left it at that back then. Years later I now realize he likely couldn't afford to play. His talent would be wasted.
The same guy led our mish-mash neighbourhood team to the local Aurora Community Centre held road hockey tourney where we soundly thrashed the ice league all star team in the finals, a testament to the fact that we could all compete against these so called "all-stars". I remember feeling empowered that day. Confident. Whereas the 'allstars" team had always portrayed an air of smug superiority to the rest of us in their dapper purple team jackets, on this day, it was they who looked away!
Want to relive any of those glory days ? Or come out and watch or play some pick up shinny? Organize a team even or egads challenge another to form and play?
Your participation level is up to you!
