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.” A GREAT WAY TO SAY GOODBYE Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo AJAX — Pickering High School’s Devoe Joseph goes flying through the key past Keren Blair and John Lafontaine of Father Leo J.

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.

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.’ www.dce.ca Register online at Durham Continuing Education 120 Centre St. S., Oshawa DRIVER EDUCATION MARCH BREAK 4 DAY COURSE For further information and to register call: 905-436-3211 or 1-800-408-9619 or visit our website to download a registration form.

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. • Do you have a desire to work with the elderly or disabled? • Are you interested in supporting people to live independent lives? • Have you considered a job in community health or a nursing/retirement home?

THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 27, 2008 PAGE 5 A/Pdurhamregion.com 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’. This Week Should there be a federal election as a result of Tuesday’s federal budget? Yes No Online Poll Vote @ newsdurhamregion.com 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.

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. JJ MacLellan Pickering 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. Anne Masson Pickering 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.

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.

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. For more information call 905-839-2990 or visit www.cityofpickering.com/greatevents.

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. Reduced Load Restrictions Smoke alarm driving you crazy?

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.” SPECIAL BONUS!Start off the spring season in style!

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.  DRT EAST - Oshawa Sunday Service withdrawn Weekday & Saturday Service last trips at approximately 22:00 1-866-247- 0055 SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS Effective March 3, 2008 Weekday & Saturday Service will end at 19:15 4 College Hill 501 Aspen Springs, 502 Liberty 3 Garden Weekday Midday Service - 30 minute frequency Weekday Evening Service - Hourly after 20:00 Last trip 22:00 from Ajax GO Last trip from Durham College/UOIT at 22:10 Hourly Saturday Service ending at 22:00 8 Stevenson, 11 Grandview, 12 Adelaide 21 Townline Weekday Hourly Service 9:00 - 22:00 (am rush hour service withdrawn) DRT EAST - Clarington 915 Taunton DRT - Regional Routes Weekday Rush Hour Service NEW 15 minute frequency Weekday Midday Service - 30 minute frequency Weekday Evening Service - Hourly after 20:00 Last trip 22:10 from Durham College/UOIT Last trip from Pickering GO at 20:55  NEW 916 Rossland  Refer to new route schedules for details or visit www.durhamregiontransit.com 922 Bloor/Victoria Route change serving Forbes & Tricont industrial area, no longer serving William Smith Drive THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 27, 2008 PAGE 11 A/Pdurhamregion.com Province joins Durham in looking at energy-from-waste durhamregion.comA/P PAGE 12 THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 27, 2008 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’.

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.” SPORTS ✦ E-mail game scores to Al Rivett, arivett@durhamregion.com ✦ Get local 24/7 newsdurhamregion.com ANNANDALEANNANDALE CHURCH ST. at BAYLY, AJAX 905-683-3210 www.toronto.com/annandale Looking for a new home to golf? $395 from $58 from + GST PST & GRAT. 2008 Memberships Tournament, Golf and Dinner Pkgs. + GST THE NEWS ADVERTISER, February 27, 2008 PAGE 13 A/Pdurhamregion.com 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 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Anne Derry is representing Canada at the World Lumberjack Championships in Australia. Fast facts -- It’s costing Anne Derry ap- proximately $3,500 to make the trip to Australia, although some of her expenses are being defrayed by sponsor Powerbev Inc. Also, St. Louis Bar and Grill in Ajax has picked up the tab for Team Canada women’s uniforms in Australia; -- As well as being a professional lumberjack, Derry for the past year has worked in the tree in- dustry as an arborist with Cohen and Masters Tree and Shrub Service; -- In addition to Australia, Derry plans to compete at up to 16 lum- berjack competitions this sea- son. Those events will take her across Ontario, B.C. and Nova Scotia as well as to U.S. states, including New York, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Top Shelf puts up top effort against ESN in men’s basketball action AJAX — For the second time in a row, Top Shelf displayed its dominance over ESN Packaging with a 53-38 victory in recent Ajax Men’s Basketball League play. David Jackson was virtually unstoppable at both ends of the court, scoring a game high 26 points for Top Shelf. Jackson was assisted by Claude Whitfield with 10 and Mickey Dill with nine. Ivor Walker led the way for ESN with 10 points, while Don McEachern added nine. Dickson Printing persevered to post a 49-42 win over Phillips, Hager & North in what proved to be a close contest. Louis Davis and Gord Brown combined for 31 of Dickson’s 49 points, scoring 16 and 15 points, respectively. P,H & N, although falling short of the victory, featured a well- balanced offence led by Clayton Gall with 15 points, Claude Feig with 13 and Tom George with 10. Michael’s Eatery got another superb game from Bill Manos as the diners outpaced North Alli- ance Press 56-47. Manos paced Michael’s and all scorers on the evening with 27 points. Manos got some help from Henry Kuz- niak and Rick Wasson, who threw down six points apiece. Raymond Hartley led the NAP attack with 14 points, while Kit- son Wallace contributed eight points and John Beyaz seven.

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. ✦ He’s from page 13 Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo Dunbarton moving on WHITBY — Anderson Collegiate goalie Derek Smith eyes the puck as his defenceman ties up a Dunbarton High School player.
