ELEMENTARY ARC WORKING ON ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS by Brad Holden If a lack of programming is the School Board’s main concern when it comes to Duntroon Central Public School, why not focus on the quality of programming that’s possible if we look at the school being part of a “family of schools” in Clearview Township? That’s the concept that members of the Accommodation Review Committee presented to interested residents last Thursday at the ARC’s third public meeting, held at Nottawa Elementary School. It’s at the top of a list of several options the committee is working toward presenting as alternatives to the School Board planning staff’s preferred option of closing Duntroon School, when the ARC issues its final report to the Board in March. The entire list, presented by ARC member Stephanie Davenport, includes the following: 1. Close Duntroon but

send Singhampton students to Nottawa (under the staff option they would be sent to Creemore); 2. “Repatriate” the students who live in Sunnidale but are attending schools in Wasaga Beach and reshuffle Clearview attendance areas so that Duntroon has more students; 3. Close Duntroon but allow parents of former Duntroon students to choose what school their kids will now attend; 4. Close Duntroon and send all students to Nottawa (rather than the staff proposal of 40 going to Creemore and 40 going to Nottawa); 5. Close Duntroon and split the students between Creemore and Nottawa but make the closure effective June 2012, instead of this June as called for in the staff proposal; and 6. Keep Duntroon open and maintain the status quo until 2015, when the debate about future growth in Clearview Township has been settled. (See “ARC” on page 3)
SUCCESS ON SNOW In true Canadian fashion, the weather was chilly but the
atmosphere was warm as area residents gathered together at Pretty River Provincial Park last Saturday in support of Snowarama for Easter Seals. With record numbers of snowmobilers and a new cohort of snowshoers taking part, event organizers surpassed their fundraising goal of $10,000. In total, nearly $10,500 was raised at the event with Clearview Township Mayor Ken Ferguson, who organizes a “Mayor’s Snowmobile Run” each year as part of the event, still receiving pledges on Monday morning. All money raised will directly help local kids with physical disabilities.

ARC talks “family of schools”
(Continued from page 1) All of those are being debated, but it’s a seventh option, explained at length by Thom Paterson, the Township’s representative on the ARC, that has the committee thinking it might be getting close to a solution. “There is another way of looking at program delivery,” said Paterson, introducing the concept of a “family of schools.” He pointed out that the board’s framework for measuring the quality of programming at schools is skewed toward larger, urban schools, and called for a new policy specifically designed for smaller, rural schools. “The board says that small schools are inherently disadvantaged,” he said, “and yet we continue to hear the opposite from parents.” Paterson suggested that, if the board could alter how it looks at rural schooling, it could acknowledge that places like Clearview Township have a “family of schools,” and that programming could be delivered across the entire family, instead of on a per-school basis. Perhaps, he offered, the board could offer extended French in Clearview (rather than bus kids from Clearview to Collingwood for that program), or a full-time gifted program. Perhaps Duntroon, or another school within the family, could be made into a “Junior Centre of Excellence” focusing on Grades Kindergarten to Grade 6 only. Or perhaps partnerships could be sought – with Duntroon Daycare across the road, or with a Montessori school, for instance. The idea, Paterson, explained, is to “enhance the programming across the entire family of schools, and then attract the enrolment.” In the process, you are acknowledging the importance of each of Clearview’s schools to the community in which they are located. Whether this option attracts the attention of trustees should it be included in the ARC’s final report remains to be seen, said Paterson. “This option depends on the board agreeing with us that we need a rural policy,” he said. “This is not a short-term fix.” Following Paterson’s presentation,
several of the 50 or so people in attendance stood up to have their say. First up were Diana Garbutt, an employee of Duntroon Daycare, and Mark Hamerton, a local parent, both of whom have spoken passionately in support of Duntroon at each of the three public meeting held so far. “Isn’t elementary school about learning how to learn?” asked Hamerton. “As long as they learn math and English, even if programming is lacking a bit in other topics, does that really set them back? I don’t think so. These kids are learning how to learn, and they’re probably learning better study habits and better social skills then they would learn at bigger schools.” That point was emphasized by two students who spoke next, both of them members of a triple-grade class and extolling the benefits of learning among children of different ages. Laura Walton, a parent of students at Nottawa Elementary School, stood to let the ARC know that, if 40 extra students from Duntroon mean more portables for Nottawa, then parents there would not be in favour of such a move. Claiming the last word of the evening was Clearview Mayor Ken Ferguson, who said that the status quo option sounded the best to him, at least until his Council can help lobby the Province for a new rural school policy. He also reminded the ARC that Simcoe-Grey MPP Jim Wilson has started a petition calling for such a policy, that future growth numbers for Simcoe County are very much up in the air, and that there is a provincial election coming up later this year. “I cannot see the need to do this in such uncertain times,” said Ferguson. “This is the hardest year of my political career to make things work, and that’s because there is so much uncertainty. Why not keep the status quo, keep the work of this ARC on file, and address it later?” The ARC continues its work, and will hold its final public meeting on Thursday, February 24 at Duntroon Central Public School.

Opinion EDITORIAL A True Original
Letters to the Editor come in to the Echo in all sorts of ways. Most these days arrive via e-mail, but every once in a while we get the pleasure of finding a handaddressed letter at the post office. Our fax machine occasionally offers one up, and of course some are hand-delivered as well. Letters from Murray Stephens, however, where the only ones that came verbally. Once every few months, the phone would ring, and the dictation would begin. Or we’d be delivering papers to the Glencairn store, as we do every Friday, and Murray, holding court with a few local farmers at the store’s cafeteria table, would say, “I’ve got something for the paper.” Or our office door would open and in would walk Murray, sometimes with a cigarette still burning in his hand (he never did take to the anti-smoking laws). Or we’d be walking down the street and Murray’s battered old pick-up truck would pull up to the curb, and he’d lean out the window. Always, the “letter” he’d dictate would be at most a couple of sentences long. It would be blunt and to the point. And we’d catch hell if we showed up at the store the next Friday and it hadn’t shown up in print. Creemore and area lost a true original this week, and another of the people who built this part of the world up with their sweat and hard work. We’ll miss him.
LETTER
Duntroon pride
Dear Editor: I am a parent of two girls who attend Duntroon Central Public School and I am proud to say that they go there. My oldest is in Grade 8 and in her second year of a triple grade. We are proud to say she is excelling tremendously. My youngest is in Junior Kindergarten and it makes us smile when we hear her talk about the boy in Grade 6 who was her lunch buddy, or how she played in the snow fort with a girl from Grade 8. Tell me, what other school has the JK students interacting with Grade 8s out in the play yard? I grew up in the city and my elementary school was a very large school of approximately 500 to 600 students. I can honestly say that I don’t remember being in the senior grades and having anything to do with the primary grades. As a parent I am extremely happy with the education both my children are getting and want my youngest to have the same experiences my oldest has had, “triple-grading” and all. With all this being said, I see the closure of Duntroon Central Public School (if that is what the final decision is) as potentially the biggest mistake the Simcoe County District School Board could ever make. Not only will they be stealing an excellent educational opportunity from many children, but they will be destroying the community of Duntroon – a community that every one of us who lives there is very proud to say that we are a part of.

LETTER
“A place where no child is ever lost” Dear Editor My husband and I live in a rural area just outside of Duntroon. Our community is full of wonderful friends and families whose children attend Duntroon Central Public School. It has been scheduled to close at the end of this school year. We are told this is due to low enrolment. Our poor school has been under the threat of closure in the past, which has resulted in many families choosing other schools. This would prevent kids from being uprooted from one school to another. The school has paid the price for this. Duntroon Central Public School is a wonderful place. Students benefit greatly from the wonderful teachers, one-on-one attention and the feeling of being accepted by peers. We have high educational standards and do just as well if not better than other schools with larger numbers. These are the things that make rural schools so wonderful, a place where no child is ever lost in the crowd. Why is it that the Ontario Government does not recognize the value and importance of its rural schools? Why are you given extra programming and better facilities if you live in a larger community or city? Why are swimming pools for city schools more important than keeping our rural school open? Mr. McGuinty found $12 million to keep school swimming pools in Toronto open, but hasn’t found any money to keep rural schools open in Simcoe-Grey. Is this fair to our children? Rural communities are what founded this country. Yet the government wants to damage our communities by closing our schools. This closing will result in job losses at local daycares, closures of programs available to the community held in the school, as well as impacts to families and after-school activities because of less time at home and more time on the bus. All that will be left is an empty vacant building. This building is a place where

laughing and learning kids excelled and a place where families and community could come together. I chose to live in rural Ontario. I did this because I believe that attending a rural school is the greatest gift I can give to my kids, a true sense of community and belonging. We are not asking for a new pool or demanding improvements, only that our kids can continue to get a high quality education at Duntroon Central. I am looking forward to sending my threeyear-old daughter on the bus with her big brother in the fall. This is a special school where she will be able to shine along with all the other amazing kids who I hope will still be attending Duntroon Central next year. With the help of our MPP Jim Wilson the families of Duntroon Cental Public School have formed a petition to save our school. This petition is a reminder to Mr. McGuinty of the promise he made in 2007 that he would keep rural schools open. He declared that rural schools help keep communities strong. Please sign this petition and support our rural schools. Petitions are available to sign at the Clearview Township Office as well MPP Jim Wilson’s office and his website www. jimwilsonmpp.com. Our community and kids need this school. Sincerely, Linda Isaac, Duntroon

RECREATION
LETTER
Remembering DCPS from afar Beating the February blues the students receive individual attention and learn the meaning of community. My four-year-old grandson will be attending this school in September. His mother attended as well. I feel that the attention and education that I received at Duntroon Central, all those years ago, have created the professional that I am today. I am presently involved in the technology field with Rogers Communications. My excellent start in education had instilled in me the desire and passion to read and learn. I feel that at a young age, the smaller the school, the better education can be provided with more individual attention. Today, that sense of community is lacking because of these forced closures, adding to the issues of the world. At some point the Ministry of Education should seriously look at redirecting funds from transportation to educating students in their own communities, close to home and with the necessary resources. Children are our future and why should the children in Duntroon not deserve their own school to start on their journey into the future? Thank you, Heather MacKenzie, Moncton, New Brunswick

Dear Editor: My name is Heather MacKenzie and I attended Grade 1 at Duntroon Central with Ms. Marilyn Stroud in 1965. I would have attended this school if my family had not moved from the area when I was seven. My father is Ralph MacKenzie and he was the Presbyterian Minister. We moved frequently but I can honestly say that my best school memories are of this school. I also remember the school that the older children attended before it was closed and became the Township office, located beside the church in Duntroon. It was a travesty to have closed that school many, many years ago. I recall the uproar that it created in the community. Closing this fine institution would certainly be a grievous transgression against this community. Children deserve a wonderful start in life, close to home. Transporting students by bus to larger institutions makes for a long day and a waste of resources that could be spent on educating children. Sleepdeprived children do not learn well. I was fortunate enough to settle in a community outside of Moncton, New Brunswick where we have a small school from Kindergarten to Grade 6. It is a wonderful, close-knit school where

In the four years I’ve spent at the G&M, I’ve found that everyone who works here is really easy to get along with. Regardless of your position though, I think we all find it challenging to help everyone who comes through the Hospital’s doors. There are times when it can be almost overwhelming. I enjoy playing, coaching and organizing sporting events in our area. I’m on the board of both Stayner Minor Hockey and the Stayner Siskins. I’m also a proud member of the 2010 ObA ‘b’ Champion Creemore braves baseball team.” At the G&M we’ve got lots of challenges ahead but remember; all

So if anyone Sidewinder winner. has bits and pieces of yarn that they don’t know what to do with, I am still gathering it up for her. Also, Carol Rowbotham mentioned that it would be nice if anyone knew of someone who could use milk bags. A gal from Stayner area, June (Cubitt) Cober, mentioned that some of the nurses on the night staff of the surgical unit at Collingwood Hospital knew how to make things from these bags. So if anyone knows someone that would be interested, give me a call at (705) 466-5732 and we can round up quite a few bags for them. Our condolences go out to the family of Murray Stephens, who passed away recently after a lengthy illness. Murray was a friendly, well-
known and well-liked chap who, in his younger days, used to speed around like a “bat out of hell” – but Murray was not the only one! When I lived over in Angel City, if you saw a huge cloud of dust about a mile away, and saw it approaching at – literally – ninety miles an hour, you knew it was either Johnny Nevills or Murray Stephens headed your way! Considering that the roads were all loose gravel or loose sand, it had to be good luck and good management that kept either one from having an accident. They were both goodnatured and good-hearted chaps that would go out of their way to give one a hand, and, sadly, they are both gone now. We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to the Stephens family. Warren Gale has been having a rough time lately. First, his van was recalled over two months ago over a cracked rear axle – and he hasn’t seen it since. Then last week he backed out of the garage while only watching one side of the car. This didn’t do the other side mirror much good, and it was very costly to replace it. Then the emergency generator that starts up once a week didn’t start this week – and then to top it off, his TV would show a picture, all purples and greens, with no sound. Thanks to
Lorne Bunn, who came down and showed Warren what to do if this happened in the future, the generator was fixed. Thank you, Lorne! But no TV? With a snow storm threatening that would keep everyone inside? Oh, no! And the repairman couldn’t come for days. This was getting serious. So I phoned the Sony company, and a young chap talked me through which buttons to push. It turned out to be a problem with the Bell Express Vu receiver, which was easily corrected. So at the minute, Warren thinks that I am a pretty smart cookie. I don’t think I’ll tell him just how easy it was to fix – so I can bask in his appreciation for a couple of more days for having his TV picture and sound returned to him. Methinks we folks in Avening and surrounding area are going to have to put our heads together to see if we can help the folks on the Church Committee come up with some idea to help raise money for Avening United Church. This will be a big loss to our little hamlet if we lose something that has played such an important part in a lot of families’ lives for a lot of years. And this area is just wonderful, when a need is brought to light, to help find a solution. So let’s try to help – first with ideas, and then with answers as how to see them through.

You can adjust to personal taste. 2 cups quick cook oats or Grass Roots Organics Regular Rolled Oats ½ cup wheat germ 1 cup slivered almonds 1tablespoon cinnamon (at least) Pinch of salt ¼ cup melted butter ¼ to ½ cup honey Preheat oven to 325°. Measure oats, wheat germ, slivered almonds and salt into a large bowl. Sprinkle cinnamon over top and mix with large spoon. Add melted butter and mix to incorporate. Drizzle 1/4 cup honey over top and mix in as well. Taste and add more honey or cinnamon if desired. Spread mixture out on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake in oven for 15 minutes. Stir mixture around – granola will tend to brown from the outside rim inwards. Bake for approximately 5 more minutes, watching it carefully because it can burn easily or get too hard. Remove from oven and let cool, then store in a sealed container. Enjoy with your favourite yogurt, fruit or even plain.

Three rats are sitting at the bar talking bragging about their bravery and toughness. The first says, “I'm so tough, once I ate a whole bagful of rat poison!” The second says, “Well I’m so tough, once I was caught in a rat trap and I bit it apart!” Then the third rat gets up and says, “Later guys, I'm off home to harass the cat.”

Even in rural communities that are not planned to experience any significant new residential growth, we see evidence of demographic shifts and community renewal. In Duntroon for example, there is a daycare with an attendance of 90 children, and a waiting list of an additional 30. This very real, area-specific source for both enrolment and a potential partnership has to be considered when deciding on the future of a rural community school. Closely linked to the “bigger is better” school model is the perception that education is best delivered in large urban centres. The Province is wrestling with the whole notion of population growth, its impact on our villages and towns and cities and the policies needed to ensure all communities prosper. The Province does not want all growth directed to large urban centres. It should develop a rural school policy that addresses the specific needs of single school communities. There is a place in Ontario for rural communities to continue to provide a healthy, safe and complete lifestyle. The school board’s mandate should be to do its part in ensuring that includes a viable, successful educational experience for those families who choose to live in rural Ontario.

Let me get my hands on Murphy, Wrap my fingers round his throat, Turn his whole world topsy-turvy For that horrid law he wrote… I had cleverly made Claverleigh New gingerbread replacements Which, not to sound palaverly, I’d patterned out by tracements.
POET LAUREATE
Murphy’s Law versus the Gingerbread Man Tim
ARMOUR
When we think we’ve got it covered, Nothing could come back to bite us, Still some danger undiscovered Lies in wait. Here my tinnitus
It was one foot, then the other, Rung by rung till I was down. All the while I thought, “Oh brother, Let me make it back to town.”
Camouflaged the tell-tale humming Of the bees’ nest in the soffit. How could I know what was coming? I’m no visionary prophet!
With my fingers I was combing Screaming demons from my beard. Like a rabid dog, mouth foaming, I was feeling really weird.
I’d carefully hand-sewn sections From the finest cedar lumber, Reinforced cross-grained connections Gluing spires in by the number.
One old nail there was protruding Where the gingerbread was headed And its presence was precluding Work. It had to be embedded!
Once away from the arena Then the bees did cease their drubbings. Still I howled like a hyena, All the way to old Doc Stubbings.
My thirty-six-foot ladder Couldn’t quite reach to the gable. Three more feet and I’d have had’er, So I made a sort of table.
I took aim at the offender And I smacked it with the hammer. Who could know this would engender Such a fecund flow of grammar?
Where he counted stingers thirty, In a tone akin to wheedle, Then he done me one more dirty, For he jabbed me with a needle.
On the tailgate of my pick-up, And I set the ladder on it. This plan couldn’t have a hiccup – After all, did I not spawn it?
There were bees inside my work pants, There were bees inside my shirt. There I did a herky-jerk dance. How those fiery pin pricks hurt!
Let me get my hands on Murphy! Let me teach that guy a lesson! He’ll be beat so blue, he’s smurfy Let him know with whom he’s messin’!
Now this work of art was ready To be fastened in position. I made sure the ladder’s steady, Tied by ropes in good condition.
Still I knew bad could turn badder; Knew I must get turned around; Get myself back down the ladder; Put my feet on solid ground.
I double checked the hand brake And made sure the truck’s in gear. Short of cataclysmic earthquake There was nothing now to fear.
I unwound the rope that bound me, Turned myself to face the wall. Still the bees did hunt and hound me But, more than them, I feared the fall. Photo Shannon Kyles
Up the ladder I ascended With my screwgun safely holstered. From my lips six screws extended; My bravado, Bacchus bolstered.
“Claverleigh,” located on the Noisy River between Creemore and Dunedin, was built in 1871 as the Anglican parish rectory. The house, currently the home of Greg and Meg Young, was designated a national historic site in 1990 as a very fine representative example of a Gothic Revival-style villa.
On my elbow hung a section Of this fragile ornamental That must fit just like perfection. Nothing here is accidental.
Chemist
As I reached the ladder’s summit Just below converging fascias I prayed God – don’t let me plummet To those thorny shrub acacias.

There I was up on the ladder, Forty feet above the garden, When my overactive bladder Said, “If I may beg your pardon…”
In my mind I quelled all doubt words As, at last I reached my acme, Switched my feet and faced them outwards, And I let the ladder back me. Tied a rope around my middle, To the top rung of the ladder, Felt again the urge to widdle, Muttered curses to my bladder. Here’s the part where Murphy visits And intrudes where he’s not wanted. “Are you sure, now?” he inquizits. I just carried on undaunted.
