Her mother Angie is concerned the small-school feeling of the school will be lost as Palmerston closes and students are sent to several other local schools. BY CRYSTAL CRIMI ccrimi@durhamregion.com First in a two-part series looking at small schools and their consolidation as they age and/or enrolment declines in Ontario. DURHAM -- Looking out her bedroom win- dow, Angela Weiss knows why she bought her house: for the school. Even before she had children, she and her hus- band knew they wanted their kids to attend a community school. “I came from a small town, I walked home for lunch every day,” Ms. Weiss said. So, she bought her house near Palmerston Public School, attracted by the school and park right behind. Soon though, attending that school may not be an option for her eight-year-old daughter. As Ontario deals with declining enrolment, shifting demographics, and aging small schools, Whitby is the first area in the Durham District School Board to be facing school closures under the accommodation review committee (ARC) process.

The 12 members of the jury in the trial of Troy Johnson-Lee have been seques- tered since about mid-day Tuesday. They’re weighing evidence against the 24-year-old Scarborough man, who is accused of stabbing two people outside the now-defunct RimRock bar on Har- wood Avenue in the early-morning hours of Sept. 1, 2006. Mr. Johnson-Lee has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the killing of Orin Felix, 19, and attempted murder in the stabbing of another man the same night. The Crown contends Mr. John- son-Lee, angered after scuffles earlier in the evening inside the bar, attacked both young men as patrons left the club after its 2:30 a.m. closing time. The prosecution has produced sev- eral witnesses who said they saw a man resembling Mr. Johnson-Lee involved in disputes inside the club, and wielding a knife in attacks on the victims outside. The Crown has also produced circum- stantial evidence, including traces of Mr. Felix’s blood found on jeans seized from Mr. Johnson-Lee’s home. Mr. Johnson-Lee took the stand in his own defence and denied stabbing either victim. While he said he joined a group that punched and kicked Mr. Felix, he claimed it was another man who com- mitted the fatal stabbing. The trial, before Superior Court Justice Bruce Glass in Whitby, began in early March. Jurors will be sequestered until they arrive at a verdict. RIMROCK Jury begins deliberations in Ajax murder trial Victim shot, cargo taken BY JEFF MITCHELL jmitchell@durhamregion.com WHITBY -- Crime scene photos of a slain trucker lying in the cab of his rig were intro- duced as evidence Wednesday in the trial of a man charged with first-degree murder. The pictures, showing the body of Donald Woods, were taken by Durham police foren- sic officers after the 35-year-old was found dead in the sleeper compartment of his truck near the Pickering Wal-Mart store on Brock Road in June of 2006, jurors heard. Mr. Woods died of a gunshot wound. His cargo, a load of air-chilled chicken, had been removed from the refrigerated trailer he was hauling. Paul Cyr, 51, of Montreal, is charged with first-degree murder in Mr. Woods’s death. He’s also charged with theft over $5,000. Before the grisly crime scene photos were displayed on TV monitors in the Whitby courtroom, Superior Court Justice Brian Shaugnessy warned jurors they might find the evidence upsetting. “The pictures are disturbing ... but it is necessary to produce some of these photos for the Crown to present its case,” the judge explained. The pictures show Mr. Woods lying on his right side with his hands behind his back and his legs slightly bent. Forensics identification officer Constable James Aquin said that plas- tic ties were found in the truck, and that the victim’s body had been covered with a sleep- ing bag. Mr. Cyr was charged several months after the discovery of Mr. Woods’s body. The truck- er, from Athens, Ontario, near Brockville, was last seen alive at a truck stop near Belleville a few days prior to his body being found in Pickering. The trial continues in Whitby.

Those are the findings of consultants, but that didn’t satisfy about 200 people who turned out for a public meeting Tuesday to hear consultants outline the final two stud- ies in an environmental assessment on the incinerator. “Can we trust that figure you’re giving us are absolute or are we taking a chance? Right now, I cannot trust all the studies,” said Mel Edwards. The Tuesday meeting was the second in a week held at the Garnet B. Rickard Rec- reation Complex to deal with studies con- ducted for Durham Region. U.S.-based Covanta Energy has been selected to build and operate the energy- from-waste facility on Osbourne Road, south of Hwy. 401, near the Darlington nuclear station. The public meeting was the first one held since Clarington council voted on Friday to become a willing host for the EFW and endorse a host agreement negotiated with Durham Region. Becoming a willing host is a reversal of a previous council stance opposed to having the incinerator built in Clarington. Barry Ott of Bowmanville said, “What really ticks me off is (Mayor Jim) Aber- nethy, (councillors Mary) Novak, (Char- lie) Trim and (Gord) Robinson endorsing this crap. That guarantees you’re losing my vote.” Air emissions, “including existing air quality and when the plant is operating meets all applicable provincial and fed- eral air quality criteria,” consultant Greg Crooks stated. Christopher Ollson, of the consulting firm Jacques Whitford, noted all the stud- ies are being peer reviewed. “The facility could be operated at the Clarington 01 site without any undue risk to either people or the environment,” Mr. Ollson said. That’s based on the facility burning 140,000 tonnes of garbage a year. He noted consultants are still looking at the effects if the incinerator was to burn 400,000 tonnes a year. “There’s no question an incinerator can emit dioxins and furans. The question is are there enough coming out to cause prob- lems,” Mr. Ollson said. “The air emissions will result in no adverse health effects.” Francis Theriault of Whitby noted 75 doctors in Durham Region have signed a petition opposed to an incinerator in the area. “How can you brush away the opinion of our 75 trusted doctors?” he asked. “We’re aware and the concerns of the physicians aren’t being brushed aside,” Mr. Ollson said, adding the Region’s medical officer of health, Dr. Robert Kyle, will issue a report based on all the health studies and after consulting experts in the field. “The doctors have valid concerns. We share those concerns,” Mr. Ollson said. “It’s not the place of the EA team to respond to them. It’s up to Dr. Kyle.” “It doesn’t take a genius to see our air shed is polluted. If we’re finding such crap in our air, why are we putting more into it?” Nadia McLean-Gagnon said. “If it’s based on your numbers, we’re not the right site for this. Nowhere is the right site for this,” she added. “How long before you guys start listening to us? When we get sick? It’s proven it’s not safe.” Mr. Ollson said, “Those are valid con- cerns and we share those concerns. There are things proposed for this facility that go above and beyond” regulatory guidelines. He added, “There’s very little chance” regulatory limits will be reached. Gary O’Connell questioned why the Region wasn’t looking at increasing recy- cling programs. “Why not be the best in Canada?” he asked. “Change the law. Recycle. That will take you guys into the future. People will look back on you and say those guys changed everything.” Angie Hamilton said, “Dude, you’re about the Benjamins and we’re about the breathing.” newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 21, 20093 AP 1298 Kingston Road (Liverpool & Kingston Roads)905.492.2384 For Franchise Opportunities, see our website www.tasteofmediterranean.ca FREE DINNER Buy 1 Meal & 2 Beverages and get 1 MEAL FREE Free meal must be of equal or lesser value.

A few months ago, when Dale Willard realized it was time to dispose of his car, he decided to follow the example of his brother and donate it to the Kidney Foundation. “It made sense to have the car go to a good cause as opposed to turning it in and getting nothing,” says the president of Willard Meats International. So, in January, he took the plunge and dialed 1-866-788-2277. “It was really easy,” he says. After calling the Kidney Car line, all he needed to do was sign a slip and set a time for collection. Doug McCallum was equally impressed with the professionalism of the Foundation’s staff and towing service when he donated his 1987 Toyota 4Runner. “They were very cooperative and tried to make everything work for me,” says the Kincardine resident, who had wanted keep the 4Runner’s tires, which were new. The towing company removed them on the spot. Sold for parts, the vehicle earned the Foundation $100 - and a charitable tax receipt for McCallum for the same amount. “Every car makes a huge difference,” says Denise Lambert, Kidney Car Program Manager. Cars, trucks, vans, trailers and SUVs are accepted, running or not. They are sold through auction or private sales. The Foundation issues a charitable receipt for a minimum of $100 or the bid value of the vehicle. With its partners’ support the Foundation strives to collect donations within 48 hours. Since it was established 15 years ago, the program has grown to average 400 vehicles a month in donations. Proceeds stay in Ontario and fund everything from education programs, support services, patient services and organ donation to medical research. Advertorial Commercial Accounts Available Celebrating 10 Years in BusinessCelebrating 10 Years in Business HEAVY DUTY TRUCK PARTS COMING SOONNOW OPEN IN PETERBOROUGH Temporarily reduce qualification hours, say Liberals BY REKA SZEKELY rszekely@durhamregion.com AJAX-PICKERING -- Liberal MP Mark Holland is joining his party in calling for Employment Insurance relief to help com- munities reeling from factory layoffs. As it stands, Canadian workers must have worked 420 to 700 insured hours to qualify for EI in the year prior to being laid off. The number of hours depends on the worker's EI region and its unemployment rate. The lower the unemployment rate, the more hours people must work to qual- ify. In response to the recession, Liberals are calling for the eligibility requirement to be temporarily changed to 360 hours worked across the board. Mr. Holland, the MP for Ajax-Pickering, said the recession has increased the case- load at his constituency office by 30 per cent and he's sensing a level of anxiety in the community. "That's really new in the 11 years I've been in politics. I've never heard this level of anxiety," he said, adding his office is working with people who have never sought EI before. And the process is not smooth for many residents. The federal government's regu- lar two-week waiting period before EI is paid out is much longer for some, stretch- ing six weeks to two and a half months, said Mr. Holland. He's calling for the wait- ing period to be eliminated altogether. "Two weeks can make the difference between paying rent and not, it's unac- ceptable," he said. Mr. Holland and the Liberals are also calling for an independent look at EI including benefit levels, maternity leave, fairness across regions and the status of the self-employed. The Ajax-Pickering MP also criticized with the Conservative's program to stim- ulate the economy through shovel-ready infrastructure projects. He said a process where the feds take on a third of project costs with a requirement for the Province and municipalities to each pay a third delays the dispersal of funds. "What was delivered was this crazy pro- cess. What you're going to end up with, frankly, is very little being done this year ... it's going to be a stimulus next year, if it happens at all." Beyond the current recession, Mr. Hol- land would like to see Durham become a leader when it comes to green jobs. "The economy and the environment and sustainability are not separate issues. They're one issue. If we want to be a lead- er in the future, we have to be leaders in the technology that takes us off carbon." POLITICS Ajax-Pickering MP calls for recession EI changes AJ GROEN / METROLAND AJAX-PICKERING -- Ajax-Pickering MP Mark Holland is asking the governing Conservatives to consider reducing EI qualification hours temporarily until the Canadian economy gets back on its feet. Two weeks can make the difference between paying rent and not, it's unacceptable.

The park is located beside the St. Andrew’s Community Centre at 48 Exeter Rd., which is where the Town’s open house will be held on May 28 from 2 to 8 p.m. In addition to open space behind the community centre, the park includes four acres of surplus baseball diamonds. The Town is looking for feedback on the final design for the space. “We want to hear from everybody in this community,” said Tim Murphy, parks coor- dinator for Ajax. “In this neighborhood, we have children, older adults, and various other user groups, so it’s important that we gather as much feedback as possible to meet the needs of the entire community.” A plan will be drafted for the site in 2009, with construction planned for 2010.

FATALITY Pickering crash kills motorcycle rider PICKERING -- A Scarborough man is dead after his motorcycle slammed into a car in Pickering last Thursday night.

Publications Mail Sales Agreement Number 40052657 Member: Ontario Press Council, OCNA, CCNA, SNA. All content copyright Editorial Opinions I came across a rather interesting, if use- less, bit of information recently. In the past 4,000 years, no new animals have been domesticated. We have our cats, dogs, cows, chickens, horses, etc. But nothing new for four millennia. What’s up with that? Doesn’t it strike you as odd that we’ve, all of a sudden, drawn the line? Why are we not, for instance, popping off to the local breeder to pick out a new griz- zly cub as a surprise treat for the kids? Why does Purina not make manatee chow? Why can we not find a halti to fit a wolverine? “Well,” I hear some of you saying, “those animals are feral, they’re vicious and wild, completely unsuitable as pets.” But 4,000 years? Are you telling me we couldn’t train a Komodo dragon to sit or a tiger shark to heel in 4,000 years? Come on. It only takes four years of law school to turn a human being into a lizard. Revers- ing the process can’t take much more than that. I think we’ve just gotten lazy. And, as a result, we’ve really shortchanged our- selves. For starters, we could be saving thousands of dollars, currently wasted on home-secu- rity systems, simply by having a couple of hyenas in the house. “Knock. knock.” “Oh, is that you, Mr. Home Invasion Guy? Come right in ... I hope you don’t mind if Timon and Pumba here go all Hakuna Mutata on your ass.” Throw in a jackal or two and you can also say goodbye forever to annoying leftovers and fridge clutter. Mankind has always relied on animals for protection but why did we stop at the dog? I love my dogs, but who’s kidding who? There are much heavier hitters out there when it comes to protection. What do you think a prowler would rath- er square off with: a Pomeranian or a South American honey badger? A golden retriev- er or a polar bear? A Lhasa apso or a leop- ard? And with some of these creatures, you get much more than just protection. You get respect. Fed up with the neighbor’s yappy pooch or the myriad cats that think your vegetable garden is their private litter box? Keep a bald eagle in the backyard. You’ll immediately get your peace and quiet back and your zucchini won’t taste like kitty whiz. Also we have working animals. The see- ing-eye dog for instance; guides for the non-sighted. All well and good and these animals are to be commended. But a dog’s real gift is his sense of smell. This is a mis- application of talent. If I’m an individual with vision difficulties, I want the help of a creature that can really see. Where are the seeing-eye falcons? Or how about going in the other direction, with the guide rhino? Sure, they have notoriously bad eyesight themselves, but if that thing drags you out into traffic, believe me, people are going to stop. Finally, one of the chief reasons humans have domesticated animals over the years has been companionship. I’m the first per- son to state how precious the relationship between man and beast sometimes is. We dearly love our cats, dogs, horses and guin- ea pigs. But again, I think we’ve shut the door on a wide range of possible pals. Imagine this scenario: You’ve had a bad day. You’re tired, emotionally down and worn out. You just really need a hug. For- tunately, you own a boa constrictor. Even if that’s the last hug you ever get, and it may well be, you’ll know you’re loved. Durham resident Neil Crone, actor-comic-writer, saves some of his best lines for his columns. School board needs to do what’s best for students The critical question to remember when- ever the members of any school board accommodation review committee get together is this: What is best for the stu- dents? The purpose of an ARC, with its compo- sition of staff, educators, parents and inter- ested members of the public, is to figure out what to do when there is an enrolment disparity in a town or city within the board. Does the ARC recommend some schools be closed? That students be moved to other schools? That new schools be built? It’s obviously a difficult job that can be fraught with emotion and competing demands from different sides of the table. It involves a number of public meetings, the consideration of various options and, at the end of the day, tough decisions which must be made. At the moment, there are parts of Durham municipalities which are seeing an enrol- ment decline and other areas where the pop- ulation is booming. Last year, for instance, the Durham Catholic District School Board had to close four Catholic elemen- tary schools in south and central Oshawa because of declining enrolment. Right now, the Durham District School Board is look- ing at closing some elementary schools in Whitby because of declining enrolment. In addition, there are aging schools where the best option may be demolition rather than expensive repairs. Sometimes, the best choice the ARC can make is to build one large, so-called big-box school to replace several older smaller, out- dated schools. That’s an option in Whitby where Palmerston, Leslie McFarlane and Florence M. Heard public schools would close. A new 605-pupil school would replace them at the McFarlane site. Some students would go to the new school, while others would go to Captain Michael VandenBos, Pringle Creek and Jack Miner schools. The new school would have all the mod- ern accoutrements students need for 21st- century learning; they would also gain from the facilities that can be provided in a new school. Some who oppose the changes worry stu- dents moving from a smaller environment to a larger one would get lost in the bigger school and would lose that small-school community feel they had become used to. While there would be a change for par- ents used to their children going to Palmer- ston and Heard, that’s an adjustment worth making for the benefit of improved condi- tions for their youngsters. It’s a better learn- ing environment. And isn’t that what the process is ultimately all about? e-mail letters to newsroom@durhamregion.com / max. 200 words / please include your full first and last name, city of residence & daytime phone number / letters that do not appear in print may be published @ newsdurhamregion.com We need seeing-eye rhinos, hugging boas, guard-dog hyenas Neil Crone newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 21, 20096 P newsdurhamregion.comNews Advertiser • May 21, 20097 AP Chart the right course to fi nancial success With markets continuing to deliver turbulence, even the most level-headed investors among us may begin to second-guess their fi nancial strategies.

While areas such as Ajax are growing and requiring new schools, central Whitby will see doors clos- ing on several facilities. The ARC, responsible for review- ing and making a recommendation to trustees, suggested closing Palm- erston, Leslie McFarlane and Flor- ence M. Heard public schools, all deemed cost-prohibitive to repair. A new 605-pupil school would be built on the Leslie McFarlane prop- erty, and students would be reas- signed to it and Captain Michael VandenBos, Pringle Creek and Jack Miner schools. Palmerston parents are asking trustees to consider rebuilding Palmerston and putting the kids into five schools instead of four to eliminate what some are calling a move toward “big box schools”. The board makes its decision May 26. A new Palmerston school would be bigger than the 168 students it currently holds, but at least it won’t be as big as what the kids would be stuck with otherwise, Ms. Weiss said. “I consider 600 (students) too big for elementary school,” Ms. Weiss said. She can’t remember where exactly she heard the term “big box schools” but it’s the direction she’s fearful schools are moving toward. “I immediately think of Costco, or something wholesale, getting more for less,” Ms. Weiss said. Although she realizes the cost of building small schools is high compared to big ones, she’s wor- ried things will move too far the other way to save money. But Ontario will always have small schools, said Patricia Mac- Neil, spokeswoman for the Minis- try of Education. “There will always be small schools, but there are also going to be large schools,” Ms. MacNeil said. Guidelines for school sizes are provided, but also adaptable to meet local situations. Boards still have to build responsibly, Ms. Mac- Neil said. “You can’t ignore the fact our demographic shift, declining enrolment is having an impact,” Ms. MacNeil said. It’s something boards have been anticipating for years, she added. The Durham Catholic District School Board finished its first ARC process last year, ending with five Oshawa school closings. “It’s a balance, it’s a tough bal- ance,” Ms. MacNeil said. “Our capacity with our board, we build to approximately 500 pupil place sizes, that’s not big box,” said Oshawa trustee Larry Jacula, Dur- ham District School Board’s chair- man. “Whether it’s a big school or a small school, teacher-to-student contact is the main thing,” Mr. Jac- ula said. But as enrolment continues to decline across the province, more consolidations will eventually occur, even within the areas that have already been consolidated, Ms. Weiss said. “If we get rid of community schools, we’ll start busing further and further away. “They keep saying everything will be better for everyone, will they really?” Ms. Weiss asked.

Pine Ridge won the game 4-3 to advance to the finals against Ajax, but poor weather played havoc with the scheduling, forcing the final to be played on Friday. Pine Ridge was unable to attend the game due to a professional development day, and Ajax, who were also affected by the day showed up for the game, winning by forfeit.

Madrid won the indoor league at The Hangar in Downsview this season with a 2-1 win over Wood- bridge Strikers in the final game. Ajax Madrid won the indoor league with a very impressive 15- 1-4 record with 76 goals for and 20 goals against. Madrid faced some very strong competition in the league from top U-10 teams such as Woodbridge Strikers, Sparta- cus, Richmond Hill Raiders and DHSC. In the playoffs, Madrid went in with the pressure of being the No. 1 seed and faced a tough Sparta- cus team in the semifinals. Sparta- cus tied up the game at 2-2 with five minutes to go in the game but Madrid kept its nerve in a penalty shootout with a 4-2 victory. In the final, Madrid played the runner-up in the league, Driftwood Hispanic Soccer Club. Once again Madrid held its nerve in the penalty shoot- out winning 3-2 and won the dou- ble as league and Cup champions. The first weekend in May saw the team go back to defend its title at the prestigious West Niagara Invitational in the U-10 boys Elite division. The team clinched first in a tough division, beating the Etobicoke Energy 5-1 and tying Brampton Bulls 0-0. In the semi- finals, Madrid beat the Richmond Hill Raiders 2-1 but could not pull a win out in the final against the Aurora Stingers. This was the team’s first loss since January. If you are down at the Toronto FC game on May 16 against the Chicago Fire, be sure to cheer on TFC and Madrid as the boys will be walking out of the tunnel with the players. Team members are Caleb Wash- ington, Stefan Smith, Dante Mor- rissette, Drew Nicholson, Mat- thew Brown-Vaughan, Mackinley Burns, Kyle Humby, Jarek Brome, Alex Wisco, Cameron Purdy, Dylan Patterson, Jean-Paul Lyons, Mat- thew Mattila and Troy Pugh.

It was an ugly num- ber to be precise, as it was the number of costly errors the Inter- county Baseball League team committed in a 12-9 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Christie Pitts. The Dodgers, who were missing several regulars still away at school, started Chris Nagorski on the mound, and he took the loss sur- rendering five runs -- all unearned -- on seven hits. In all, the Maple Leafs managed 14 hits off Dodger pitching, led by the three of Rod Bor- jas, and two each from Kyle Morton and Jon Fernandez. Drew Taylor pitched six strong innings for the Maple Leafs, limit- ing the Dodgers to five hits and three unearned runs, while striking out five in improving to 3- 0 on the season for the first place Maple Leafs (3-1). Kyle Filler with three and former Maple Leaf Sean Travers with a pair combined for five of Oshawa’s nine hits in the game. The loss was the Dodg- ers’ first of the season, and they now sit at 2-1. The club has yet to play a home game at Kinsmen Stadium, as weather issues and power problems at the stadium have com- bined to postpone three games, including last Saturday’s tilt with the Mississauga Twins. Oshawa’s next game is scheduled for Sat- urday at home against the Hamilton Thunder- birds, while the Dodg- ers will hit the road Sunday in Hamilton for the return match. CFL FOOTBALL Local talent takes the field with Argos OSHAWA -- The Toronto Argonauts are coming. After scoring a touch- down with fans in New- market, the Argos are driving down field to Oshawa for the second of two week-long regional tours. The Argos official- ly kicked off the tour at Oshawa City Council on Tuesday, where Mayor John Gray proclaimed May 23-30 as ‘Argos Week’ in the city of Oshawa. The Canadian Football League club will come to town with plenty of local talent, including Whit- by’s Jason Pottinger and Delroy Clarke, Uxbridge’s Jeff Keeping and veteran receiver Andre Talbot of Oshawa. “Oshawa is a place that I called home for many years. I still cherish the friends, family and the memories that I have from my time there, and I always look forward to visiting,” he said in a team issued press release. “When I was at Paul Dwyer H.S., there were just eight high school football teams, now there are two divisions and over 20 teams. Football is alive and well in the region and I am proud to say that the Argonauts have played an important role in the area’s commit- ment to football at the grassroots level. Now we want to give back to the community at large. It’s no secret that this diffi- cult economic downturn has hit Oshawa, and its citizens, especially hard. Like a fallen teammate, we need to help pick them back up.” Led by the four Durham boys, as well as members of the 2009 Argos cheerleaders, mascot Jason and Argos Alum- ni, the Boatmen will whistle in the week with a free event for fans at the Oshawa Centre on Saturday. The Argos also appear in local schools, com- munity centres, the hospital, restaurants, parks and even season ticket holders’ homes throughout their week-long stay.
