Apuli 19,1M9, Page 17 .-{; BROOKLTN }b St. Leo to be replaced By Steve Leahy ln* a recent announcement by jobsOntario, Durhamn Region ichoolboads will be gtting *8.5-million te build now schools and expand eisting ones. The Durham separate board will gt $3.9 million and intendi te build a new ichool in Brooklin te roplace the four-room St. Leo. While St. Leo i. crowded and ithout a gym or library, it'. small ize has made it a very friondly and unique school. Unfortunately, Broolin's new subdivisions mean the end cf St. Leo. But hopofully its long history of succesa in turning out good students can continue in a new facility. One can only hope that the Catholic board will not build one 0f those modern, mega-sized achools that do nothing te build individual, school or community spirit. A FIEID 0F PORTABLES? fThe Durham public board wont bho using its $4.6-moillion on Meadowcrest. Instead, new sehools in -Kedron and Courtioe will ho bufit te serve the new subdivisions homng bilti these areas. Currently, several hundred students in those areas are in portables. That i. Probabir Moadowcrest's future as weY portables, an additional echool will not ho bufit in the new subdivision. Spealdnig of new sehools, for the vory.first time I brief ly visited. the public board's Palace and Sinclair Secondary at the corner 0f Taunton and Andlerson. As I drove by *the acres. of hoautifully paved parking lots,- My flrst impression was that this was the head office of some large corporation. Ail that fine paeent and for years and years tee hasnt been enough money te pave 100 feet of driveway at Meadowcrest. In theenr aonhe2 aide thora is ,a lovely courtyard,ail beautifully landscaped with interlockting stones and spcally-made honches. A pleasure te sit out on warm days. during the suminer, rm sure. Meanwhile, at Meadowcrest, the grass hasn't been cut as often as it should, te save a few dollars. For the honefit of my blood pressure, I stopped looking for those "ittle indulgences" at what mn cail the 'Sinclair Palace.'A "couplde million dollars of those little extras would ha.vo aid for another basic, functional achool for Brooklin idi. No wonder ýWaace officiais at the board find parants so grumpy these days. kd in this competition wiil likoly b. on one of Canada'.
