Scientist says the major element missing from science class is the science TERESA LATCHFORD tlatchford@yrmg.com Chris McGowan is determined to save science class. The Aurora scientist claims the current science curriculum taught in the classrooms of Ontario schools is failing students and causing fewer students to embrace the sciences in post-secondary studies. Before retiring as the dinosaur curator at the Royal Ontario Museum and professor of zoology at the University of Toronto, McGowan had never examined the education system’s science curriculum - that was until he was preparing to speak at the annual meeting of the Science Teachers’ Association of Ontario. "On checking the curriculum while preparing my talk, I discovered little that resembled science," he said. "Instead, I found a confusion of sociology and misunderstood science. I had not seen such nonsense since battling the creationists in the 1980s." Many science teachers have confided in him, stating that when the classroom door closes they teach science the way it is meant to be taught. However, these teachers are still required to test the students on the subject matter laid out by the Ontario Ministry of Education. There are several things
Steve Somerville/Metroland
Local scientist Chris McGowan of Aurora gazes at one of his favourite creations: a tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur – known as Norman – he made from chicken bones. He worries that the lack of hands-on opportunities to discover science will cause students to become disengaged in the field. McGowan believes that have led to the current state of the unengaging science class. First and foremost, the curricula have been designed by an education consultant, not a science teacher or scientist who specialize in their field. This has caused a shift from a teaching plan designed for future scientists with specific science basics that are built upon year after year, to a science-for-all plan that covers more topics with less depth. For example, instead of just teaching chemistry, physics and biology, the curricula are including engineering and technology alongside the basic teachings in what is now referred to as the STEM focus. "It is turning intuitive students off science," he
said. "With the world facing issues like global warming, we need more scientists, not fewer." Perhaps even more alarming is the lack of hands-on experiments conducted in the classroom. It makes sense to learn theory before applying what student have learned in the lab, but now students aren’t getting the chance to test out their theories in a lab setting. "My 13-year-old grandson has a passion for science and is a very bright lad," McGowan said. "But last year in science class, the only experiment he conducted was weighing a glass of water, adding salt and then reweighing it. Whatever happened to learning by doing?" Professor Sushanta Mi-
tra, York University associate vice-president of research and micro and nanotechnology for social innovation, supports McGowan’s call for more practical opportunities in science class. "Very solid labs allow students to fiddle and learn from failure, in turn gaining knowledge," he said. "Students gain confidence and learn by doing." This generation no longer follows a single career track and need to have the skill set to be flexible, Mitra added. This includes critical thinking skills, innovative thinking and the ability to test theory to find solutions for real world problems, skills developed in the lab. There is an education gap between students grad-
uating from high school and entering their first year of university science studies. Many lack the strong calculus background and the understanding of basic science required to thrive at the post-secondary level, forcing professors to focus on the basics rather than building upon a solid foundation. When building a house, one needs a strong foundation before laying the bricks. Mitra says there is a need to review science curricula, which haven’t been overhauled since 2008, and he believes technology should be a prominent element. Mitra has been working with the York Catholic District School Board and a
private-sector partner to develop and implement the use of science-specific apps to enhance science lessons. "Textbooks are static, and students can’t change a parameter in a textbook," he continued. "These apps will give them that ability, create a specialized and customized learning experience as well as bridge the equation to allow students to connect the dot between theory and practical science." McGowan put his thoughts on paper and released a book, Saving Science Class, after finding his concerns were falling on deaf ears after meetings with two different education ministers. In it, his solution brings the focus back to conducting real, hands-on science in the classroom by mirroring the Nuffield Science Teaching Project in the United Kingdom, where working scientists acted as resource personnel for teachers designing curricula. Education ministry spokesperson Heather Irwin said overall secondary school enrolment has increased by almost 3 per cent over the past five years and that the Programme for International Student Assessment 2015 results show Ontario students rank among the top international English-speaking jurisdictions in science achievement. The curriculum is based on strands including a focus on scientific investigation skills and hands-on learning experiences throughout all courses from Grades 1to 12, she added. It has yet to be determined when the next cycle of curriculum review will be.

ABOUT US
Amnesty needs to be part of pot plan When the federal Liberals first broached the notion of legalizing marijuana for recreational use in Canada, one of the rationales for taking that position was the need to stop persecuting users for possession of small amounts of pot. Saddling non-violent people with criminal records for holding small amounts of a substance found to not be harmful for most users (and in the process tying up law enforcement and court resources) was an approach that had long outlasted its usefulness. So it seems more than a bit strange that, having released its blueprint for legal weed, Ottawa has taken no steps to help those people. For the next year or so, police can continue to arrest and charge Canadian pot smokers for behaviour that, at some point during the summer of 2018, will likely become completely legal. As a matter of fact, even after recreational marijuana becomes available at your local store (LCBO perhaps?), pot possession and use outside of the regulatory guidelines will remain a serious criminal offence. So, those hoping that Liberal sensibilities on pot would lead to a blanket amnesty and the removal of criminal records for possession of small amounts were hoping in vain. Amnesty is not on the agenda, says Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale. The question is why not? It makes sense to manage this cultural transition cautiously. Ottawa should absolutely address drugged driving and the use of weed by minors. It’s evident that too many Canadian teens, ages 15-19, are using marijuana. (Some estimates suggest 22 per cent of youths in that age group have smoked pot in the past year). Pot can impact maturing brains and exacerbate pre-existing mental-health issues, such as anxiety, depression and bipolar disorders, warns the Canadian Psychiatric Association, which advocates use be restricted to ages 21 and older, and THC potency levels restricted. And we appreciate that even a government that supports legalization doesn’t want to appear as an advocate for drug use. But it’s nonsensical for this government to sustain an unjust policy that helped spark its interest in legalization in the first place. Criminalizing people for possessing small amounts of pot was unacceptable before Justin Trudeau became prime minister and remains so.

Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Transit Project Assessment Process Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to transform the way the region moves by building a fast, convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) and Simcoe County. Over the next ten years, Metrolinx is transforming the existing GO rail system to deliver a whole new rapid transit experience to your community. Part of this plan is to bring frequent and reliable service to communities along the Barrie rail corridor. With more frequent train service you’ll have more options to get you where you need to go. The Project Current plans include electrified, all-day, two-way service every 15 minutes to Aurora as well as peak, midday, evening and weekend GO Train service to Allandale Waterfront GO Station. The service increase will be phased in over 10 years while Metrolinx builds additional infrastructure. To support this service increase, Metrolinx is proposing the following: • Provision of a second track between Lansdowne Avenue in the City of Toronto to Allandale Waterfront GO Station in the City of Barrie; • Upgrades to existing GO Stations along the corridor: Rutherford, Maple, King City, Aurora, Newmarket, East Gwillimbury, Bradford, Barrie South and Allandale Waterfront; • Upgrades to existing structures within the corridor including bridges and culverts; and • A new train layover facility within the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury for overnight storage of trains. The Process Metrolinx is assessing the environmental impacts of the Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion (BRCE) Project in accordance with the Transit Project Assessment Process (TPAP) as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Metrolinx Undertakings (made under the Environmental Assessment Act). As part of the TPAP, an Environmental Project Report (EPR) is being prepared and will be filed documenting any potential environmental effects and mitigation requirements of the Project. Viewing locations for the agency and public review of the EPR will be published in the Notice of Completion. All information produced as part of this project is available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie Consultation We thank everyone for their feedback to date. As we formally commence the TPAP, we will continue to get your feedback through an online engagement (details below). We continue to encourage our neighbours, agencies, Indigenous communities and other interested persons to actively participate in the TPAP by visiting metrolinx.com/RERBarrie and contacting staff directly with comments or questions at RERBarrie@metrolinx.com Metrolinx is hosting an online survey for the BRCE Project to provide you with an opportunity to offer further feedback. Copies of the draft environmental studies and preferred design drawings are available at metrolinx.com/RERBarrie, for review prior to completing the survey. Online engagement will be open from Thursday, May 11 to Thursday, June 1, 2017. If you have any project-related questions, would like to be added to the Project’s mailing list or would like to provide input at any time, please contact: Barrie Rail Corridor Expansion Project c/o Georgina Collymore Senior Advisor, Environmental Assessment Communications & Community Relations 20 Bay Street, Suite 600, Toronto, ON M5J 2W3 tel: 416-202-4921 e-mail: RERBarrie@metrolinx.com Comments and information regarding this project are being collected to assist in meeting the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act.

Terry Fox’s dream has raised more than $700 million to date for cancer research, his foundation reports.Fox dipped his artificial right leg in the water in St. John’s Newfoundland on April 12, 1980. He then ran through the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec and Ontario averaging an incredible 42 kilometres, nearly a marathon a day. Then on Sept. 1, 1980 just outside Thunder Bay, Fox was felled with excruciating chest pains. Doctors confirmed the cancer had spread to his lungs. After 5,373 kilometres, Fox’s Marathon of Hope was over. Fox lost his battle with cancer on June 28, 1981. He was 22.

PARENTS WITH YOUNG CHILDREN The Wills Lawyer Since I have started my wills practice, I have done many wills for couples with young children. One couple, in particular, had such an impact on me that I decided to write an article about what parents with young children need to know about wills. While I was taking notes in our first meeting, the wife looked at me and said “we have been wanting to do this for so long, but we put it off, and now I can finally sleep at night.” The husband then said “since our first child was born, Michelle Kotzer we’ve always been worried about what would happen to our children if we were in a catastrophic accident. We feel so much better that this is being done.”
Did you know these are household hazardous waste? When no longer needed, batteries become household hazardous waste.
yorkregion.com
Household hazardous waste does not belong in the garbage, in your blue box or down the drain. It should be brought to a depot location where it will be disposed of safely. For more information on what household hazardous waste is and where to drop it off please visit york.ca/hhw or call 1-866-665-6752
What happens if you pass away without a will leaving young children? Firstly, there is no executor in place to look after your estate on your death. Secondly, there is no guardian named who can look after your children. In fact, there could be a custody battle between your family and your spouse’s family over who should raise the children. As far as inheritance, your children will inherit everything you own at the age of eighteen. Remember how you were at eighteen. Do you think you could have handled a large inheritance? By law, your children would automatically receive their inheritance at eighteen regardless of their level of maturity. These are only some of the issues that occur, if you pass away without a will. No parent wants to leave a mess for their family. When making a will what are some things you should consider? First, who should you appoint as your executor? You can appoint your spouse as your primary executor. In fact, this is what is usually done. What about the back up executor? Who will look after your estate in case your spouse is not alive when you die? You can appoint someone else you trust like your parents or siblings. You should also consider whether the person you are appointing as executor has the time to take on the task. An executor may be trustworthy, but he or she may be unwilling to accept the appointment. Executors have the right to decline the appointment at the outset when they find out that they have been named. It is advisable to obtain your executor’s consent. What about the guardian? If you have minor children your will should appoint a guardian to look after them in the event that you and your spouse both pass away before your children reach the age of majority. Be careful about appointing a married couple as guardians. You should feel very confident about their ability to get along together before concluding an appointment of this nature. If they get separated or divorced, who will have custody of your children? For example, if you appoint your brother and his wife as guardians, and after your death they separate, will there be a custody battle for your children? To solve this, it might be prudent to appoint your brother alone. Your parents are not always the best choice as guardians because they may not out live you, and if they do, they may be elderly and unable to act. I would be pleased to offer a free will consultation, if you do not have a will and do not know where to start. I also offer a free will review for those that have a will and want to make sure it is up to date and not a recipe for a family disaster.
I am a wills lawyer at the office of Fish and Associates, 7951 Yonge Street, Thornhill, Ontario. You can contact me directly at 905-881-1500 (Ext. 22) or email me at mkotzer@fishlaw.ca or visit www.michellekotzer.com.

Jodi Picoult’s quote: “My Mother… She is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her,” is one of many quotes that speaks to my heart when I think about my beautiful, selfless and amazing mother. My mother is not only an amazing mother but wife, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She is the essence of the word “mother,” one that I try and aspire to everyday to be like her for my two young boys. As a child, my mother was always there for my brother and I, pushing us to our potential not only through her words but in her everyday actions.

NOTICE OF STUDY COMMENCEMENT Environmental Assessment Study Kirby Road Extension between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street City of Vaughan The City of Vaughan Transportation Master Plan (2013) and the Regional Municipality of York Transportation Master Plan (2016) both identify Kirby Road as a key east-west arterial corridor and confirm the need to increase the capacity, connectivity and effectiveness of the road corridor from Jane Street to Bathurst Street, while also providing walking and cycling opportunities. The City has authorized Rizmi Holdings Limited (RHL) to undertake the necessary Environmental Assessment Study (EA Study) to establish the preferred alignment and design for the extension of Kirby Road between Dufferin Street and Bathurst Street. The EA Study will take into account the context of the area including the requirements of the Provincial Plans such as the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan, planned development in the area, and other studies such as the North Vaughan Transportation Master Plan.

Clark was accused of sexually assaulting a Stouffville teen-an accusation that was handled through an internal police investigation. At the time, criminal charges were not laid. Instead, Clark was charged with "deceit" and "discreditable conduct" as part of an internal Police Services Act hearing. Clark admitted to "deceit" for making a false entry in his notebook. The discreditable conduct charge, which accused the officer of acting in "an inappropriate manner’ during a meeting with the teen, was withdrawn by the service. Although York Regional Police repeatedly said that files had been either "lost or purged" as part of the service’s move from York Region’s municipal offices to its new headquarters in Aurora, yorkregion.com was able to obtain a copy of the Police Services Act (PSA) notice of hearing and statement of facts through other means. Three sources, who requested anonymity, were interviewed as part of the investigation into this story; they will be identified as Source A, B or C. Source A, who is close to the case, says the girl who’d earlier been found by local officers after being reported missing by her parents - was attempting to seek guidance from the police when she met Clark. On Oct. 15, 1996, she called the Markham police station looking for another officer, according to Source B, who has intimate details of the facts of the case. Clark, then a 22-year

The PSA document states, "Sgt. Clark left 5 District.and drove to Stouffville to meet a female person.at approximately 12 midnight." He returned after 1:55 a.m. making a "false and deceitful" entry into his notebook, writing: "1:05 patrol Main St., Markham." Source A provided this version of their meeting: Clark took the girl, 15, to a dark and secluded parking lot, grabbed her crotch more than once, grabbed her breast, unzipped her pants and asked her to walk around for him in her underwear, suggesting that she wouldn’t have many clothes to remove. The teen made a complaint to police hours later, according to Source B. Officer Kirk Marshall, now an inspector with York police, was dispatched to investigate. Among other questions, Source A said, Marshall
asked the girl: If she knew her allegations could ruin Clark’s career if she was lying? Why she didn’t run or tell him to stop? In reply, the girl said she was scared. When he asked why she was fearful, she replied Clark had a gun. The following day, the girl overdosed on pills at her school, according to Source A, who added she was "extremely vulnerable" at the time. Oct. 21, 1996, six days after the complaint, the girl’s parents met Marshall and his partner, Professional Standards Bureau Det.Sgt. Greg Saunders, at the Markham police station, according to a letter obtained by yorkregion.com. The handwritten letter, signed by the parents and Marshall, says, "During the meeting, options were discussed regarding criminal court and the Police Services Act tribunal. Given considerations to all points discussed at this meeting it is our request that this matter be dealt with interl See CLARK, page 19

nally by York Regional Police via the Police Services Act." Talk at the police station, according to sources B and C, suggested there was insufficient evidence for criminal charges against Clark and the parents were concerned about the effects of a trial on their daughter. Yorkregion.com was unable to confirm this. A hearing was held a week later on Oct. 28, 1996. In the end, Clark was transferred out of his platoon and docked 96 hours. Discipline for police misconduct can include dismissal, demotion and up to 120 hours docked pay. One retired member of York Regional Police said "everyone" in the police force would have known about the proceeding. "There’s no secrets in the police force.," they said. "He could never live that down."
court Oct. 23 and face trials by judge alone. Clark, Marshall, Saunders declined to comment on the story, refusing to speak while the case is before the courts. York Regional Police Chief Eric Jolliffe expressed concern that Clark remained with the service for so long after the 1996 incident. "When the criminal allegations were reported in November 2015, I immediately ordered a full review of the previous allegation and directed that a full criminal investigation take place, which resulted in criminal charges," Jolliffe said in an emailed statement. "Given the fact that our recent investigation has led to criminal charges, I am very troubled that the accused remained in our employ following the 1996 allegations - this is unacceptable." These allegations have not been tested in court.
Clark would continue to work for York Regional Police for another 10 years. After his retirement in 2006, the force rehired him. Clark, a Georgina resident, was still working parttime, in the fleet department, when he was charged in November 2015 with the Oct. 30, 2015 sexual assault of a young girl. In February 2016, police announced three additional victims had come forward to accuse the former cop. Clark now faces charges in two historical sex assaults, alleged to have occurred between 1967 and 1970, and in the 1996 incident that was handled by internal police investigation. All alleged victims are younger than 16. Clark currently faces charges of sexual interference, sexual intercourse with a girl under 14, sexual exploitation and sexual assault. According to Newmarket courthouse staff, Clark will next appear in

York police have arrested a 36year-old Toronto man wanted in connection with a violent home invasion near Kleinburg that saw a couple stabbed multiple times. Officers were called to a home on Broda Drive, on the west side of Highway 27 south of Major Mackenzie Drive, on Sunday, April 30 at 8:30 p.m. for a reported home invasion. Officers arrived at the home and found four residents of the home, two of whom, a husband and wife, were both suffering from stab wounds, according to police. Police say they learned that a man known to the husband showed up at the home armed with a knife, while the husband was gone, and forced his way. The suspect tied up three residents who were home and began ransacking the house looking for cash. When the husband returned home, he and his wife were stabbed and the suspect fled the scene, police said. A warrant was issued for the arrest of the suspect, who was located May 7 and is now facing multiple charges. Seungji Hong, 36, of Toronto has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault, three counts of assault with a weapon, forcible confinement and robbery. Hong was to appear in a Newmarket courtroom Monday, May 8.
