Company plans
to expand operations
by end of 2009
By Keith Gilligan
kgilligan@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — The Canadian divi-
sion of a Norwegian-based engineering
construction company is relocating to
Pickering and planning to expand.
Aker Kvaerner Chemetics (AKC) will
build an 87,000-square-foot building on
Clements Road, opposite the Husky re-
fueling depot.
Bob Vanderland, president of the Ca-
nadian division, said the company has 60
employees currently, but “by the end of
2009, it will be upwards of 100 employ-
ees.”
AKC “designs and builds certain types
of chemical plants,” Mr. Vanderland said,
adding the Pickering operation will focus
on manufacturing processes and equip-
ment.
Currently located in the Don Mills area
of Toronto, it’s moving for a number of
reasons, he stated.
“The commuting distance for employ-
ees, the travel distance. This location
had the least impact we could find in the
GTA,” he said.
Another consideration was the cost
of land, he noted, saying the company
looked at sites around the GTA area.
“We found land costs much lower in
Durham Region generally,” Mr. Vander-
land said.
The new facility will have 70,000 sq. ft.
of manufacturing space and 17,000 sq. ft.
of office space, he noted.
The site will deal with manufacturing
operations, “we’ll expand our proprie-
tary businesses, engineering and project
management. We build plants world-
wide,” he said.
The company is hoping to have the site
ready in about a year.
“We’re heavily involved in engineer-
ing, metal fabrication,” Mr. Vanderland
stated.
To do the work, the company has me-
chanical, metallurgical and process engi-
neers, he noted.
“We employ a lot of technologists.
We’re looking for skilled trades, like weld-
ers,” Mr. Vanderland said.
Pickering Mayor Dave Ryan an-
nounced the company’s re-location dur-
ing the annual mayors’ address to the
Ajax-Pickering Board of Trade on Tues-
day.
Mayor Ryan said the new facility will
cost $17.7 million.
Aker Kvaerner had $10 billion in reve-
nues last year and has 24,000 employees.
“It’s not a small organization,” Mayor
Ryan stated.
The mayor added, “Economic devel-
opment is one of my priorities. To be
more than a bedroom community, we
need to strengthen and expand our eco-
nomic base.”
Last year, 300 “new highly skilled jobs”
were created in Pickering, he added. “It’s
a prelude to a brighter and more prosper-
ous future.”
It’s time, he stated, the federal govern-
ment “made a decision on an airport in
Pickering.
“It will have an economic impact in
the hundreds of millions of dollars. The
economy is only one aspect.”
Noting the community has been in
limbo 35 years over the airport, “we ask
that definitive decision be made.”

Anderson says news
is good for Durham
By Kim Downey
kdowney@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Local leaders applauded
the federal Conservatives in a budget
Tuesday that gives a boost to the manu-
facturing industry while providing infra-
structure improvements.
The permanent extension of gas tax
funding, which will reach $2 billion per
year in 2009-10, was especially welcomed
by municipalities.
“Municipalities large and small . . .
w ill be able to plan and finance their
infrastructure needs with this additional
funding every year, forever,” said Finance
Minister Jim Flaherty.
To entice people on to public tran-
sit, he also announced an investment of
$500 million, including re-establishment
of the rail link between Peterborough and
Toronto’s Union Station.
“The announcements are good
news for Durham and our local mu-
nicipalities,” said Durham Re-
gional Chairman Roger Anderson.
“With the gas tax now being made per-
manent we have a long-term stable source
of revenue for infrastructure, which is
something we have asked for for a long
time and is much needed.”
The GO Transit rail will go into Myrtle
station in north Whitby, providing en-
hanced service to commuters, including
those in north Oshawa.
The finance minister also announced
the creation of a $250-million automotive
innovation fund.
“The auto sector has been a major driv-
er of the Canadian economy,” Mr. Flaherty
said.
“Automotive engineers, assembly work-
ers and parts manufacturers are the foun-
dation of many communities like my rid-
ing of Whitby-Oshawa.”
Oshawa Mayor John Gray, who was in-
vited by Mr. Flaherty to Ottawa for the
budget unveiling, said he was pleased
with the budget since it will likely help
GM Canada with its efforts to innovate
and develop new fuel-efficient technolo-
gies. Although the federal investment in
the auto industry is appreciated, it is a
“Band-Aid” solution to the problems fac-
ing the auto sector, said Chris Buckley,
president of Local 222, which represents
Durham-area workers at GM and other
local auto parts plants.
“Millions of dollars in investment still
does not address the root cause of our
problem and that is the unfair market
trade that is eroding our market share and
the rising Canadian dollar which is con-
tributing to 350,000 manufacturing jobs
that are leaving our country,” he said.
The minority government’s budget is
not expected to spark an election, news
reports indicate.
As expected, Mr. Flaherty announced a
tax-free savings account that serves as an
incentive to save up to $5,000 per year.
The Tories are also concerned about
the slowing Ontario economy, which has
seen the manufacturing industry hit hard
while other provinces, such as Alberta,
have seen their resource-based econo-
mies boom.
Money will also be available to clean up
lakes, particularly in Ontario.

Ajax residents protest building plans
AJAX — Ajax Mayor Steve Parish speaks to about 150 people protesting against the Town’s plan to build a community facility at the corner of Ash-
bury Boulevard and Audley Road. The protesters prefer the location to remain as open space.
Municipal leaders applaud federal budget
Clarification
AJAX — A candidate in the Ward 2 bye-
lection would work with Durham Region to
increase garbage collection for parents with
children in diapers.
Oliver Forbes would like to have weekly
pickup during the summer months so dia-
pers wouldn’t have to be stored for two
weeks he said at a Ward 2 municipal elec-
tion debate Feb. 13.
Celebrate Durham’s
cultural diversity
DURHAM — It’s time to celebrate the
diverse world we live in. A Feb. 28 event in
Ajax will be a display of a wide variety of
multicultural art as part of Black History
Month celebrations.
“We live in a multicultural society so we
have to celebrate the diversity. We need to
give people a sense of belonging, that’s why
we decided to do it,” says Esther Enyolu,
executive director of the Women’s Multicul-
tural Resource and Counselling Centre of
Durham.
The Youth Dance Troop of Pickering
High School is performing along with sev-
eral other young people, including a poetry
reading, a fashion show, and a slide-show
presentation. The event is being put on by
the WMRCC of Durham to promote a sense
of belonging for all cultures.
There are two speakers, including Kay
Blair, executive director of Rexdale Mi-
croskills, and Chris Alexander, a motiva-
tional youth speaker.
“A lot of black youth are getting into trou-
ble. They need to believe in themselves and
stay focused,” says Ms. Enyolu.
The celebration takes place on Thursday,
Feb. 28 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Pickering Vil-
lage United Church, 300 Church St. N.
The event is free and families are encour-
aged to bring children.
Obstetrician and gynecologist
must have chaperone when
examining female patients
DURHAM — An Ajax doctor can no
longer “have any in-person professional
encounters with female patients” without
a female chaperone present, the executive
committee of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Ontario has ordered.
In late January, the committee imposed
terms, conditions and limitations on the
certificate of registration for Dr. Sami
John George Karkanis, an obstetrician
and gynecologist at Rouge Valley Ajax and
Pickering hospital after a female patient
complained he sexually abused her.
According to the complaint filed with
the CPSO, the female patient, referred to
as ‘Patient A’, alleged Dr. Karkanis “be-
haved in an inappropriate and unprofes-
sional manner, and engaged in behaviour
of a sexual nature, including touching
Patient A’s hand and rubbing his penis
against it, hugging her and touching her
vagina in a sexual manner with his hand
and penis.”
The complaint further noted, “Dr. Kar-
kanis also asked her to expose her breasts
and made remarks of a sexual nature
about them.”
During one appointment, a vaginal swab
was taken of Patient A and when ques-
tioned about it later by both the patient
and the college, Dr. Karkanis is alleged to
have given “inaccurate and/or untruthful
responses regarding what happened to
the swab.”
The allegations against Dr. Karkanis on
the CPSO website include he had been
“engaged in sexual abuse of a patient”
and “engaged in conduct or an act or acts
relevant to the practice of medicine that,
having regard to all the circumstances,
would reasonably be regarded by mem-
bers as disgraceful, dishonourable or un-
professional.”
Other conditions Dr. Karkanis must fol-
low include: the chaperone must be a
member of a registered health profession
and must be acceptable to the CPSO;
Dr. Karkanis must keep a chart and a
second written record for each patient
he examines, and the chaper-
one must initial each they’re present for;
if the chaperone has concerns that Dr.
Karkanis’s practice exposes his patients to
risk of harm or injury, they must report it
to the CPSO immediately; and, a sign in
the doctor’s waiting room must state, ‘Dr.
Karkanis will not see female patients with-
out the presence of another registered
health professional.’

Roger Anderson
p ays visit to Seaton
Advisory Committee
By Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
PICKERING — Not one toilet will go in
Seaton without a job first, says Regional
Chairman Roger Anderson.
“Jobs first is first and foremost as far as
the Region is concerned,” he said.
The Seaton Advisory Committee met last
week and Mr. Anderson made a special
visit, grilling Provincial representatives and
consultants on their plans.
He believes the Ontario Realty Corpora-
tion “is the player at this table” and asked
general manager of acquisitions, Graham
Martin, how many employment lands have
been sold.
Mr. Martin said none, but the ORC is em-
barking on negotiations with the City and
the Region to create a game plan and hopes
to include the Ministry of Economic Devel-
opment and Trade in a marketing strategy
to help get as wide a market as possible. He
said the ORC wants the right mix of jobs to
sustain the community and assured every-
thing will be in place.
“Your message has been consistent and
loud and clear from day one,” Mr. Martin
said.
Mayor Dave Ryan wants jobs first, but
doesn’t want the first one at a box store, and
hopes the employment is pristine.
“We demand that and we deserve it,” he
said. “Anything less than that is not accept-
able.”
Mr. Martin agreed box stores are not the
ideal places of employment for Seaton since
they employ few people.
In response to concerns he heard through-
out the meeting, Lloyd Cherniak, executive
vice president of Lebovic Enterprises, one
of the four major developers in Seaton, said
he is more than happy to build higher-den-
sity buildings. He agrees with the need for
“commercial hierarchy,” but said his expe-
rience shows housing above stores is not
successful.
“We’ve heard of it before, we’ve done it
before, but it doesn’t work unfortunately,”
he said.
Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson
said he thought the two subdivision ap-
plications the planning and development
department has received so far came in
too fast, especially with the Master En-
vironmental Servicing Plan (MESP) being
incomplete. “I can’t think of any other way
to jump a queue faster,” he said.
Mr. Cherniak said the proposals were
submitted early because the process nor-
mally takes years and they wanted to start
now.
Reg Webster, principal and president
of the Sernas Group, MESP consultants,
said there have been some delays, such as
the groundwater study, and the MESP will
probably wrap up around July 1, adding
they’ll most likely hold two more public
information centres this spring.

Skating for
‘one of our own’
Memorial skate goes March 2
AJAX — A memorial skate is planned as a fitting tribute for
a dedicated Ajax hockey dad.
Blair Ferrier leaves behind his wife Karen and two very ac-
tive sons, Cody and Cullen.
“He was a father on our hockey team. Together his sons
have been on our team for the past three years. They’re just
great people,” says Maryellen McIlmoyle, manager of the
Ajax Knights Peewee AE Team.
Mr. Ferrier died suddenly on Jan. 8 at the age of 43. Mem-
bers of his family will be coming to the event from across
Durham.
The memorial skate is on Sunday, March 2 from 2:30 to
4:30 p.m. at the Ajax Community Centre, Pad No. 3. The event
features a raffle draw, door prizes, and a DJ. Teammates of
Cody and Cullen have been selling raffle tickets at the Ajax
Community Centre, Tom’s No Frills, and the north-end Ajax
Sobeys.
“We just wanted the boys to feel more like we appreciated
their dad and them,” says Ms. McIlmoyle.
The Ajax Minor Hockey Association and the community
at large has rallied behind this cause. They have received big
ticket items for use in the raffle, such as a one-week car rental
of a Mazda Miata.
Many people have volunteered to help out after hearing
about the cause, including the DJ who will be overseeing the
event. Even the ice rink being used for the event is a donation
from the Town of Ajax.
To purchase a raffle ticket, contact Brent Minaker at 905-
428-0488 or Maryellen McIlmoyle at 905-428-7715. For those
wishing to provide some financial support for the family,
donations can be made to TD Canada Trust, Transit number
3849, Account number 6062060, with cheques payable to
‘Karen Ferrier in Trust’.

Budget should
keep Tories
in power
W ith apologizes to that 1960s rock
band Steppenwolf, Jim Flaherty’s
federal budget Tuesday was more
born to be mild, rather than wild.
Faced with an uncertain economic fore-
cast for the coming year and with concerns
about the health of our largest trading
partner, the United States, Mr. Flaherty
presented a very straightforward, tight and
dare we say, conservative budget.
With few bells and whistles and little new
spending planned, it’s hard to see how the
opposition parties can love this budget.
But it’s also hard to envision them choos-
ing to fight an election over it either.
Mr. Flaherty ballyhooed many of the
measures he’s seen through over the last
two rosy years as taxes were cut -- includ-
ing two cents off the GST -- and the debt
was paid down. The Whitby-Oshawa MP
admitted his government is “taking the
path that requires focus, prudence and
discipline.”
As part of that plan, the Conservatives
have introduced a tax-free savings account
(similar in format to a registered retire-
ment savings plan) that would allow Cana-
dians to contribute up to $5,000 every year.
All contributions would be tax-free even
when withdrawn. Seniors will have their
Guaranteed Income Supplement exemp-
tion jumped from $500 to $3,500 per year.
For the auto industry, which has taken
some body blows as manufacturing jobs
have been draining away, Mr. Flaherty is
investing $250-million for an Auto Inno-
vation fund over the next five years. The
money is meant to be used to develop
greener, more fuel-efficient vehicles and
the finance minister believes it will help
preserve jobs. The feds will also provide
another $1 billion in tax relief to help in
capital cost allowances.
Students also got some good news: as the
Canadian Millennium Scholarship Foun-
dation winds down, the feds will establish
$350 million for a Canada Student Grant
Program in 2009-10 growing to $430 mil-
lion by 2102-13. Mr. Flaherty estimates as
many as 245,000 students across Canada
will receive aid in the plan.
Other highlights include making the
transfer of gas tax revenues to municipali-
ties permanent, the investment of $400
million to hire 2,500 front-line police offi-
cers across Canada over the next five years
and using the lion’s share of the surplus
-- $10.2 billion -- for debt reduction.
It’s not flashy but it will probably do the
job of keeping the Conservatives in power
for the time being and forestalling an elec-
tion.

Neighbour not surprised
at shooting death
To the editor:
Re: ‘One dead in Pickering shooting’, Jan.
30 News Advertiser.
This shooting was of particular interest
to me. I, too, am a neighbour. But I take
a completely different view of the events.
Interviews in the story showed people in
disbelief, shocked at the event. The only
thing that surprises me about the violence
is that I’m not surprised at all. It was just
a matter of time before it escalated to this
level. And this is the second (violent) death
in two weeks.
For two years now I’ve been living direct-
ly across the road from Major Oaks Park.
I’ve witnessed the illicit activity numerous
times, more than I can count. I have called
the police on more than one occasion for
street fighting. Drug trafficking at times
has been blatant. And one only has to take
a stroll through the park and surrounding
neighbourhood to see the extent of the
graffiti and vandalism first hand.
Complaints and letters to the City and
police thus far have yielded little-to-no
results. City staff admit they are power-
less and are relegated to marginal bylaw
enforcement, which in itself has a gaping
hole. Police won’t talk to me, only at me.
The mayor and other City officials are
remarkably silent. It is very frustrating to
say the least.
And now with two (violent) deaths in
less than two weeks, one nearly on my
doorstep, I now have to worry about the
potential decline in property value due to
the stain on the neighbourhood.
The only question left to ask now is when
and where is the next shooting and/or vio-
lent death going to take place.

Thanks for your hard
work on Family Day,
Durham Region workers
To the editor:
I was one of the lucky ones given Family
Day off. When I awoke at the civilized hour
of 10 a.m., imagine my surprise when I
turned on the tap to wash- no water!
A glance out the window and up the
street showed me several Durham Region
trucks, flashing lights, orange pylons, signs
and many men in fluorescent vests.
After breakfast I went out to investigate.
“So much for your Family Day,” I said to
the leader of the pack of Durham Regional
workers. “Ya, well,“ he laughed politely,
“hopefully it won’t be too much longer for
you!”
The water was gushing from the ruptured
water main, the bulldozer was digging, the
tanker truck was doing, I don’t know what
until after 6 p.m., on what I’m assuming
was supposed to be a day off for these dedi-
cated workers (along with other essential
workers in Ontario such as police, firefight-
ers, hospital workers, EMS etc. etc.).
Thank you to their disappointed chil-
dren who wanted to go to the movies with
daddy, to the wives who had planned a day
off with their sweeties......
On behalf of the residents of Oklahoma
Drive , thank you for restoring our water on
Ontario’s first official Family Day and I wish
you a watermain-rupture-free Family Day
next year.

Law-abiding citizens
targeted by gun laws
To the editor:
In our society farmers can keep a rifle
or shotgun at the ready to protect against
predation of their livestock; armoured-car
guards can have a pistol to protect money;
drug dealers can carry handguns because
they don’t follow laws; anti-gun politicians
can have an armed security detail.
What do law-abiding citizens get to
protect their children or themselves from
rape? 9-1-1? Does that seem fair to you?
Once all guns are banned from law-abid-
ing citizens, armoured-car guards will still
have guns to protect money, criminals will
still have guns to commit crimes, anti-gun
politicians will still have armed security
details, police will still use handguns for
self-defence and law-abiding citizens will
still feel threatened by violent criminals.
What’s wrong with this picture?

DURHAM — Are you smarter than Bush?
The animated caricature on Facebook wants
to know.
To find out, click through and take the quiz.
It’s only 10 questions.
At the end, type in your cell phone number.
You’ll get a text message with a PIN number.
When you enter it on the quiz site, you’ll get
your results.
You’ll also be subscribed to a premium text
message service, a word-of-the-day at $1.25
each.
Bowmanville resident James Tavares didn’t
compare his smarts to the American president.
Instead, he got a Facebook message from his
girlfriend asking him to try the perfect love
calculator.
“It says she left me a compatibility thing, so
I think it’s a fun thing, so I click on it,” said Mr.
Tavares. He entered his cell phone number,
then the PIN that was text messaged to him. He
got his results and forgot about it.
“I’m at work and I get this message and it’s
a horoscope deal and I’m like, whatever, and
I don’t pay attention to it. Then I start getting
more.”
After five or six, he checked again and real-
ized he was paying $1.25 per message. He
quickly opted out by texting the word “stop”.
Whitby resident Stacey Cooper has a similar
story. She subscribed after a friend told her to
text the word “joke” to a short code, a five-or-
six-digit number used exclusively for text mes-
saging. “Then a joke got sent to me. The next
day I got another one and another one and
then another one.”
Ms. Cooper said she didn’t realize she was
subscribing to a daily service.
Neither Ms. Tavares nor Ms. Cooper com-
plained to their cell phone provider about the
premium text messages, though they both say
they feel as if they were scammed.
But Marc Choma, a spokesman for the Ca-
nadian Wireless Telecommunications Asso-
ciation (CWTA), said most people know what
they’re getting into.
“With premium text messages, they don’t
just appear on your phone. You have to ask for
them.”
The CWTA, which represents all three of the
major cell phone providers in Canada, leases
the short codes used for premium text messag-
ing. Mr. Choma said there are about 300 short
codes currently in use in Canada.
Currently, there are no government regula-
tions surrounding premium text messages or
text message spam. It’s self-regulated by the
cellphone industry.
The CWTA has a code of conduct that re-
quires a double opt in before a customer is
charged. They have to sign up, either online or
by texting a message to one of the short codes.
They then receive a message with the daily
rates and once again have to agree to them.
In some cases, it’s clear that it’s a per day
fee. Others use text message short cuts such as
“$2pday” for $2 per day.
Mr. Tavares said he didn’t notice that there
was a charge when he first got his opt-in mes-
sage.
“I wouldn’t have done it. I just assumed it
was one of those fun things out there.”
Ms. Cooper also said she didn’t realize she
was agreeing to a daily subscription.
“I thought I got it once; I didn’t think you’d
keep getting them,” she said, adding she regret-
ted signing up once the dollars started drop-
ping off of her pay-as-you-go plan.
In addition to quiz results, premium text
messages often come in the guise of contests,
such as a trivia question to win a laptop. One
service charges $2 per question and sends out
four questions per week.
Others offer daily horoscopes or pick-up
lines. Jason Laszlo, a spokesman for Bell Can-
ada, said his company rarely gets complaints
about premium text messages.
When they do, the vast majority of the time
it’s from parents.
“They’ve just discovered their child’s phone
bill is out of control,” he said.
Although premium text message websites
commonly list in their fine print that the ser-
vice is for people 16-or-18-years old and older,
there’s no proof of age required when opting
in. Ms. Cooper thinks kids are especially sus-
ceptible since the ads for the websites are often
posted on sites like Facebook or advertised
during television shows targeted at teens. She
points out that it can be tough to track the text
messages for kids with pay-as-you-go plans
since they don’t get bills.
“One minute you have $15 on your phone
then you have $4. Where did that money go?”
Cellphone customers who receive bills will
see a deduction for each premium message,
however the company that charged them is not
listed. They can call their cellphone provider to
find out that information.
Mr. Choma said it’s up to parents to monitor
what their children are doing with their cell
phones. “Just as if you were putting your child
in front of the computer, there has to be rules
and regulations,” he said.
He doesn’t think most teens who opt in do so
unwittingly. “Teenagers are quite bright; they
know what’s going on.”
Most opt-in messages, though not all, also
contain instructions on how to stop the mes-
sages.
If a customer is receiving the messages and
doesn’t want them, Mr. Laszlo suggests texting
the word “stop” as the first course of action. If
that doesn’t work, the customer can contact
their cell phone provider and an agent will
send an e-mail to the company or call them if
a number is listed. As a last resort, customers
may have to change their phone number.

PICKERING — Pickering will get a visit from the
Easter Bunny once again this year.
At a recent council meeting, Myrna Picotte,
chairwoman of the Royal Canadian Legion,
Branch 606, Ladies Auxiliary, presented plans
for the Fifth Annual Easter Parade on Saturday,
March 22 at 10 a.m. It will begin at Annland Street
at Liverpool Road South, travel north to Krosno
Boulevard and then east along Krosno Boulevard.
A free lunch and children’s games will follow the
parade at the Royal Canadian Legion, located
at 1555 Bayly St., just east of Sandy Beach Road.
Parade-goers can win prizes for dressing in Easter
bonnets, decorating their bikes, wagons or doll
carriages.
Immediately after the presentation, Ward 2 City
Councillor Doug Dickerson introduced a motion
that the City give a grant of $1,200, which was
approved unanimously. It will be reflected in the
2008 budget, Mayor Dave Ryan pointed out.

Most City of Pickering roads have been built to handle year-round
unrestricted traffic. However, some older roads and gravel
roads were not built to withstand the negative impact
caused by heavy truck loads during the spring thaws and
the associated rainy season (and throughout the year under
site specific circumstances).
Therefore, to reduce the impact to the City roads, a seasonal
reduced load period (referred to as “reduced load restrictions”) is
put into effect on various City roads. See Section 122 of the
Highway Traffic Act to learn about reduced load weight
specifications and other details.
(Note: Companies, organizations and individuals, who have
Oversized/Overweight Load Permits, are also not permitted to
travel on City roads with half load restrictions in effect).
Subject to weather conditions, starting March 1 to April
30 of each year, load restrictions are in effect.
For Maintenance of City of Pickering Roads, Trees, Parks & Trails,
please call our Operations Centre at 905.420.4660 ext. 5294.

DURHAM — Parasites, cancer and genes were
the subjects at the University of Ontario Insti-
tute of Technology’s (UOIT) Science Research for
Health Day.
Students from local high schools were invited
to come to the UOIT for a series of lectures, a tour
of the school, a pizza lunch and some hands-on
workshops.
“This is just a trip for us to get out and get a
feel for the different schools,” said Adam Rooke, a
student at Pine Ridge Secondary School.
The UOIT is hoping to encourage local youth
into pursuing science-based careers.
“We want to raise awareness of the importance
of science, in particular the health area, in youth,”
said Dr. William Smith, the dean of science at the
UOIT.
“In Canada we have rested on our laurels for
years with our natural resources, but in order to
compete in the world economy we need scientists
and engineers and health researchers.”
The lecture topics included Parasites and Para-
sitic Diseases, Cancer and the Environment, and
Nutrition, Genes and Health: A Way to Better
Health.
The topics inspired questions such as, “What is
the largest parasitic worm you’ve ever found in a
pile of dung?” and “Where does the word cancer
come from?”
While many of the high school students had es-
tablished ideas of what their future careers would
be, the trip had several of them considering a
future in the sciences.
“I want to try to get into something in biology
or maybe even paleontology,” said Chris Powell, a
student at Dr. F.J. Donevan Collegiate Institute. “I
really enjoy that too.”

But Ontario
reviewing different
technologies
By Jennifer Stone
jstone@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Like Dur-
ham, the Province is look-
ing at energy-from-waste.
While Durham is on a
path toward incineration,
the Province is looking
into two relatively new en-
ergy-from-waste technolo-
gies: plasma gasification
and methane capture from
landfill.
And, if there’s valuable
information to be gleaned
from the studies, perhaps
Durham should wait for it
before building a mass burn
incinerator, said a Claring-
ton local councillor.
The Province has posted a
request for proposals, look-
ing for studies into the en-
vironmental impacts of the
two technologies, with an
eye to determining which
causes the least damage to
the environment.
Plasma gasification heats
gasses to extremely high
temperatures to vapourize
garbage and produce
power.
Methane capture allows
the harmful gas, produced
by traditional landfill and re-
leased into the atmosphere,
to be collected and used for
production of power.
Durham has only one ac-
tive landfill and a regional
resolution against develop-
ing new ones.
Plasma gasification is
something the Region
looked at, said Cliff Curtis,
Durham’s Commissioner
of Works. But that particu-
lar technology has yet to
be proven on a large scale,
he said. Plasco, an Ottawa
company developing the
technology, was invited to
bid on Durham’s proposed
incinerator but could not
meet the requirement of
having operated at a large
scale for a year or more.
Methane capture from
landfill is not a terribly effi-
cient way of keeping harm-
ful methane out of the en-
vironment, said Mr. Curtis.
Numbers he’s seen indicate
the technology is only cap-
turing about 50 per cent of
the methane produced by
landfills.
“Methane is a very bad
greenhouse gas -- worse
than carbon,” he said.
The provincial study will
help inform municipalities
on future options for solid
waste management, said
Minnie deJong, manager
of the Ministry of Environ-
ment’s human toxicology
and air standards division.
Choosing those two types
of EFW processes for study,
“is not to say we’re particu-
larly promoting any sort of
system,” Ms. deJong said.
It could be worth waiting
to see what the provincial
study turns up before build-
ing our own mass burn in-
cinerator, said Clarington
local councillor Adrian
Foster, who said he’s par-
ticularly interested in find-
ing out more about plasma
gasification.
“I could swallow that a
lot more easily than a hu-
mongous mass-burn facil-
ity,” Mr. Foster said, noting
the plasma model tends to
bring with it a much smaller
physical footprint.
“If we need to do thermal
treatment, certainly, the
plasma interests me great-
ly,” he said.

Pickering foursome
‘trying to reach youth’
By Marva Palmer
Special to the News Advertiser
PICKERING — From the T-dot to Miami to
Barrie, M-Brace is bringin’ down da house!
The Hip-Hop/Rap group, formed six years
ago, uses that genre of music to communi-
cate its message of Christian hope to their
peers.
M-Brace is made up of four siblings— 19-
year-old Malcolm (Shaka Z), 17-year-old
Marcus (T.N.T.) 15-year-old Martin (Tinman)
and their twelve-year-old sister, Marley (M-
Queen).
They describe themselves as a family of
ministers and “a crew of soldiers willing to
use their gifts and abilities to further God’s
kingdom and spread the truth to everyone in
their path through Hip-Hop, Rap, R&B, and
Dance.”
The group has performed near and far,
from Guelph and Magog to Florida, Trinidad
and Tobago and Jamaica.
Their parents, who are youth ministers,
support their children and their music.
“Having worked with youth for so long,
we wanted to find a way to bring God into
the situation and the kids have always been
turned on to Hip-Hop. We figured that’s the
best way to get them to be able to listen to
the principles from the Bible,” said father
Milton Edwards, senior pastor of The Way-
Firm Faith Community Church.
Not everyone is enthusiastic about Rap
music being used to bring a Christian mes-
sage. To those critics Malcolm asks what is a
more effective way of reaching their peers.
“We’re not trying to bring something evil
into the church. None of us have broken the
law. None of us have even been suspended
from school. We’re really just trying to let
them know it’s music. We’re trying to reach
youth,” he said.
Members of M-Brace dress and look like
typical teenagers – oversized sweatshirts,
baggy pants, baseball caps, all with logos and
symbols. And Martin wears lots of jewelry.
“That’s how we dress. That’s who we are.
We’re in the culture but we’re distinct at the
same time. We’re different,” said Marcus.
“(Youth’s) a really hard culture to reach.
Appearance is everything,” he continued.
He explained that it’s more effective if they
look like the young people with whom they
are trying to share their message.
Their mother, Ruth, does not have a prob-
lem with the way her children dress.
“When kids are in school, they struggle
with a lot of things. Kids want to be accepted.
But there’s a line,” she said.
“They won’t be riding their pants down to
their knees. Marley will not be showing any
body parts.”
“I’m glad our sister is performing with us,”
said Malcolm. “We want people to know that
we respect her and women, and she respects
herself.”
M-Brace is participating in third annual
Battle of the Bands Christian Artist Show-
case, sponsored by the Barrie Free Methodist
Church, on June 6.
Shelley Rumball, the Youth Director of the
Barrie Free Methodist Church and organizer
of Battle of the Bands, said attendees enjoyed
M-Brace last year.
“The crowd really, really enjoyed them.
They have a very good stage presence.
They’ve got a lot of energy. The kids are very
talented, especially the little girl. They have a
positive message, a great message.”
M-Brace is the main attraction at Power of
Purpose at the Scarborough Boys and Girls
Club during March break. The event also
features Buffalo Bills Jonathan Evans.
M-Brace is currently working on its debut
CD ‘Warfare’.

Pickering dancer will rock you
‘Get your name and face
out there. Go out for
everything. Even if you
don’t make it you’re still
out there’: Adam Sergison
By Roland Cilliers
rcilliers@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Adam Sergison has the
kind of magic that makes a musical a hit.
At 18 years, the Pickering native is the
youngest cast member of the hit Mirvish
production ‘We Will Rock You’ (WWRY).
Mr. Sergison has been dancing since
he was four years old. As well as being a
member of the Canadian cast of WWRY, he
performed in the Disney TV movie ‘Camp
Rock’ and the Disney instructional DVD
‘High School Musical Bella Dancerella’.
“I‘ve always loved the fact that I can
dance and sing and perform for people
and give back in that way,” says Sergison.
As a graduate of Pickering’s Dunbarton
High School, Sergison regularly performed
in that school’s theatre productions. He
will soon be sharing his love of perform-
ing through a special program that tours
elementary schools. Sergison is teaching
dance and drama through Traveling Stage,
a division of As Promised Productions,
which is run by another local performer,
Toni Grates.
“I’m looking to teach as much as I can
and to go for more jobs and just get as
much out of the dance field as I can,” says
Sergison.
When in the audience of the Toronto
production of WWRY be sure to look for
Sergison as part of the ensemble cast.
He performs in most of the dance num-
bers that involve men, including the dance
numbers for ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘Killer Queen’,
and ‘A Kind of Magic’.
In his audition Sergison impressed the
people of Mirvish as a promising young
dancer.
“Young talent is a wonderful resource
and this country is filled with wonderful
young people, and when your presented
with a talent like Adam you use it,” says
Randy Alldread, manager of public rela-
tions at Mirvish Productions.
For other young people hoping to follow
Sergison’s success, he has this advice to
offer.
“Just get your name and face out there.
Go out for everything. Even if you don’t
make it you’re still out there,” says Sergi-
son. “If you really believe in it, it will hap-
pen.”

Ajax lumberjill competing in ‘Olympics’
Anne Derry to
captain Canadian
team in Australia
By Al Rivett
arivett@durhamregion.com
AJAX — It’s three weeks away,
and Ajax’s Anne Derry is antsy
about heading to ‘The Land Down
Under’ to compete in the world’s
largest and most prestigious wood-
chopping competition.
The current Canadian and world
lumberjack (or lumberjill, to the fe-
male set) is ready to compete in
what she terms ‘the Olympics’ of
lumberjack competitions, the Syd-
ney Royal Woodchopping and Saw-
ing Contest. There, four nations --
host Australia, New Zealand, Cana-
da and the U.S. -- will send teams to
vie for supremacy in the emerging
sport from March 19 to 28.
The Woodchopping and Sawing
Contest is part of the larger Sydney
Royal Easter Show that annually
brings close to 900,000 visitors to
the showground at Sydney Olympic
Park each year.
As the captain of the seven-mem-
ber Canadian women’s entry, Derry
is looking forward to the challenge.
“I am excited, nervous, scared.
This is big. Every girl in the U.S.
who competes at this level desper-
ately wants to get on the U.S. team.
I’m very proud to be captain of the
team. It’s quite humbling. I’m look-
ing forward to a whole new level
of competition. The competition is
stiffer, the wood is harder, so it’s
going to challenge me as an ath-
lete,” says Derry.
The featured event in Sydney is
the ladies’ international relay where
women woodchoppers from each
nation compete in single-handed
sawing, double-handed sawing,
tree felling, standing block and un-
derhand chop events. Derry will
anchor the Canadian contingent in
the relay.
The 25-year-old, who’s competed
on the professional lumberjack cir-
cuit for the past five years, acknowl-
edges the Canadians are at a huge
experience disadvantage at Sydney,
but that suits her just fine.
“We’re going there definitely as
underdogs, but we want to have a
lot of fun. We won’t put that pres-
sure on ourselves, but a win is al-
ways nice,” she says.
The Canadian women’s team,
however, is not completely popu-
lated by Canucks, as Derry was
forced to look south of the border
to fill out her roster with capable
woodchoppers. In fact, three of the
seven members are from Canada,
with the others from New York state,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
“I compete with all of them every
year,” says Derry of the Americans
on the Canadian team. “The U.S.
girls are honoured to be on our
team.”
Taking her axes and saws to com-
petitions across Canada and the
U.S. has kept Derry extremely busy
each season. From May to Octo-
ber, she’s either at a competition
or training in the fine art of wood
chopping, that not only requires
athleticism and strength, but also a
keen eye for the technical aspects of
the sport.
“Strength is definitely a plus, but
it will only carry you so far,” explains
Derry. “There’s definitely a lot of
technical aspects involved. You
don’t want to damage your equip-
ment. I spend a lot of time talking to
other competitors finding out what
works best for them. A lot of it is
feel and different opinions on what
works the best. You can definitely
create your own style.”
This past weekend, she finished
second overall in the women’s
events at Eagle River Klondike Days
in Eagle River, Wisconsin. There,
Derry was in the competitive mix
with three members of the U.S.
women’s team going to Sydney,
Australia.
Derry put together her best pro-
fessional season in 2007, which
included placing fourth overall at
the worlds in Boonville, New York
last August. At worlds, she also
won the bowsaw event against 20
other competitors. She also won the
sportsmanship award there.
She also won her second Cana-
dian lumberjack title this season,
as well as winning major events in
William’s Lake and Port Alberni,
B.C.
Derry first attempted the sport
seven years ago while studying en-
vironmental management at the
Lindsay campus of Sir Sandford
Fleming College. She’s been hooked
ever since. She acknowledges, how-
ever, that women are still very much
in the minority on the lumberjack
circuit. She’s hoping to change that.
“I’m really trying to grow the
sport for women,” Derry says.
“It seems to be dying off in Can-
ada, so I want to get the awareness
out there.”
The best
farewell is
a victory
Joseph scores 20
in LOSSA win
over Austin
By Roland Cilliers
rcilliers@durhamregion.com
DURHAM — Devoe Joseph said
goodbye Monday night to Durham
Region by leading his team to a
resounding victory in the LOSSA
‘AAAA’ senior boys’ basketball final.
The win over Father Leo J. Austin
Catholic Secondary School was the
star Pickering High School guard’s
last in the re-
gion.
“From
day one I’ve
enjoyed
every game.
Pickering High
has treated
me so good
and it’s been a
great program
to grow up
through. I feel it’s helped me de-
velop as a player a lot,” says Joseph.
Pickering defeated Austin 88-48
with Joseph scoring 20 points. Fans
packed the Notre Dame gym to the
point where many were forced to
stay standing to watch. The enthu-
siastic crowd would chant their
support every time Joseph had pos-
session of the ball.
“The best part of playing in Dur-
ham is the home games. When the
home crowd comes out you just
feel the vibe of a home game and
it just raises the energy level. Every
home game is a special game,” says
Joseph.
The team is now progressing to
the OFSAA finals from March 3 to

Playing basketball in the
region has opened up a
lot of opportunities for Jo-
seph, including an athletic
scholarship to a presti-
gious University. For oth-
ers looking to follow his
success Joseph has simple
advice.
“Just keep working hard,
that’s the best advice I
could give. The harder you
work the more you get out
of it,” Joseph says.
“The more time you put
in the gym the more you’ll
get out of it.”
In September he is at-
tending the University of
Minnesota and playing
with their Division 1 bas-
ketball team the Golden
Gophers, coached by the
legendary Tubby Smith.
“I feel like I could learn
so much from him. The
program is on the rise so
I thought it would be a
great opportunity to come
in, play, and develop as a
player,” says Joseph.
Pickering High School
Trojans head coach, Mike
Gordensky, believes Jo-
seph will be able to make
an impact with the Golden
Gophers.
“He’s gotta work hard;
he’s got to get a little stron-
ger, but he is a hard worker
and he’s going to put the
time in over the summer.
He’s just continued to im-
prove so I think he’ll have
a great career in Minne-
sota,” says Gordensky.
