"A Family Tradition for 125 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 22, 1991 - 13 PPHS to host Spookarama Some spooky stuff will be Happening at Port Perry High School on Thursday. PPHS is hosting "Spooka- rama", a Hallowe'en fest for public school students on Thursday. The primary students will be treated to a fighteningly good hour of fun. A Durham Regional Po- lice officer will speak to the students about Hallowe'en safety. To enforce the rules in the childrens' minds, the high school theatre arts stu- dents will perform skits on the subject. Local magician Peter Loughran will amaze the children with an abundance of tricks. Students will then be giv- en a tour through a haunted house (the gymnasium) and treats will be handed out. The event is being spon- sored by the Port Perry physical education depart- ment and the Port Perry Ambassadors. Ron Pither, head of the boys physical education de- partment, told the Star or- ganizers expect more than 950 public school students to participate in the day- long fest.

By Gillian Barfoot Scugog Island resident Ho- ward S. Kerr, P. Eng., will re- ceive an engineering award for his accomplishments in the fields of infrared and space technology. The Association of Profes- sional Engineers of Ontario (APEOQO) will present Mr. Kerr with the Engineering Medal for Research and Development on Nov. 2 at an awards dinner in Toronto. Mr. Kerr is an electro- consultant with Kerr Electro- Optical in Port Perry and Oshawa, and a retired director of engineering and technology with SPAR Aerospace Limited of Toronto. His major contribu- tions in the engineering field include the design and develop- ment of the passive infrared surveillance system (AN/SAR- 8) used by Canadian and U.S. Navies, and the CANADARM, the mechanical arm used by U.S. space shuttles. He was raised in the Beaches area of Toronto, earned his un- dergraduate degree in engi- neering physics from the Uni- versity of Toronto in 1950 and earned a masters degree from the Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester, N.Y., in 1952. As a student, he worked for the National Research Centre's Optics Section in Ottawa and developed several experimen- tal optical devices, including an airborne forest fire detector. At the time he graduated, he remembers, there were few op- 4 4 Research and development medal Area resident to receive engineering award b HOWARD S. KERR portunities in the field of optics in Canada. He had decided to move to the U.S. to work when he discovered De Havilland Aircraft of Canada was start- ing up a Special Products and Applied Research (SPAR) divi- sion, which later broke away from the U.S.-based De Havil- land. While working for De Havil- land, he helped to develop the Canadian and U.S. Navies' passive InfraRed Search and Target Designation System.

According to Whitby Fire De-- partment, the fire at K.H. Kurz Foods Inc. was caused by some sort of electrical source. An in- vestigation by Whitby Fire De- partment and Ontario Hydro was being conducted to deter- mine the cause. Fire officials said the blaze was contained in the area used for smoking meat. The roof was the most heavily damaged. & Competitive Pricing é Furnace Protection Plan é High Efficiency Oil Burners é Seniors Discount é High Efficiency Oil Furnaces é Budget Plan é Olco Furnace Finance Plan (AN/SAR-8) is able to "see" over long distances by detecting heat radiation, an advantage over radar which locates ob- Jects by sending out radio sig- nals. In 1968, when SPAR broke away from De Havilland and became SPAR Aerospace Ltd, an all-Canadian company, Mr. Kerr helped to develop space technology, including scanning devices for the ISIS II scientific satellite, and a pre-formed sat- ellite antenna which can be rolled flat for storage. He was also SPAR's techni- cal director during the design and development of the CAN- ADARM, the mechanical arm used by the U.S. space shut- tles. Mr. Kerr emphasizes that he Gp (2 6%, Kat only played a small part in de- velopment of this technology. "I was just part of a team," he told the Star, adding the op- portunities for engineers in Canada have improved since he graduated. The opportunities for women in engineering have improved as well, he says. He remembers there were only about three women in all of the engineer- ing program at the University of Toronto, "out of a great num- ber" of men. "I'd like to encourage both men and women to get into the engineering profession." Nine members of the APEO, including three women, will re- ceive awards for their contribu- tions to engineering or to socie- ty at the ceremony on Nov. 2. ) Ee oy \ TROTEN 100.47 ~~ - PERFECT PORTIONS - Nr AUTUMN SPECTACULAR! see oN oN 51b.
