KERR,
Ben -- Dispatch:
By Oliver MOORE,
Saturday,
June 25, 2005, Page M5
A Toronto busking icon, who sang She's Better Than Viagra (Belinda
Stronach Is), has died after years of crooning at the corner
of Yonge and Bloor Streets.
Ben KERR, who ran unsuccessfully for mayor in every municipal
election since 1985, was believed to be in his 70s. He died last
week after a period of declining health.
His constitution had to be tough to withstand hours of exposure
on his favourite street corner. His body also had to withstand
his cayenne-pepper cocktail. The self-proclaimed "King of Cayenne"
was convinced it helped his health and he dosed himself liberally
with a drink of carrot juice, herbs and the fiery orange-red
powdered pepper. He said cayenne pepper had saved him when he
had "one foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel."
Readers of
NOW
Magazine repeatedly voted him the city's best
busker, and a young bagpiper playing this week on Mr.
KERR's
old turf said he had big shoes to fill. "It's quite a responsibility,"
said Devon
YUKE.

James GUILLET,
Chemist and Teacher: (1927-2005)
University of Toronto professor figured out how to produce polymers
that will degrade or break down plastic litter in sunlight, writes
Sandra MARTIN. He discovered he could 'make it disappear'
By Sandra MARTIN,
Saturday,
October 1, 2005, Page S7
A "green" chemist, James
GUILLET was fascinated by photosynthesis
in plants and the wonders that nature could create with solar
light and water. He wanted to mimic the function of natural systems
in his laboratory.
As a scientist, he was a pioneer in establishing photochemistry
and photophysics of the polymer system as an important and separate
discipline in chemistry. As an inventor, he used his scientific
discoveries in practical applications for human and environmental
benefit. During his lifetime he registered more than 100 patents,
including a process for making plastics (such as foam coffee
cups and fast food clam-shell containers) decompose in sunlight,
and an agricultural mulch film That smothers weeds during the
growing season and then breaks down into the soil in the winter.
Although he was honoured as a scientist, he did not see his progressive
ideas widely embraced by industry and government in this country.
On the contrary, he was frustrated by self-interested environmentalists
and paper manufacturers who lobbied against the industrial use
of his "man-made plastics."
He was revered by colleagues and students, many of whom called
him "the Boss" and came from around the world to work with him.
"He was not the professor with blinders on his eyes who could
only see science," says his Polish colleague Maria
NOWAKOWSKA.
He loved opera and theatre, growing orchids, swimming and sailing
at the family cottage he designed and built nearly 50 years ago.
James Edwin
GUILLET was born into an academic Toronto family
his father, Edwin, was a prominent historian and the author
of Early Life in Upper Canada, among many other books. They lived
in the Annex neighbourhood of the city before moving to the suburbs
when Jim was 12. Summers were spent with their Ohio relatives
at on Horseshoe Island in Stoney Lake near Peterborough.
Musician Sue
POLANYI went there, too, as a child because her
father was the Anglican Minister at the rectory on the island.
"He was immensely handsome as a young man," remembers Ms.
POLANYI,
and he "grew up to have a grip on business like no other chemist"
because he "wasn't a dreamer -- he was a practical man."
After attending Huron Street School, young Jim
GUILLET went to
the University of Toronto Schools and then the University of
Toronto. He joined the campus camera club, winning first prize
in a photography contest judged by Yousuf
KARSH, with a black
and white picture called "Valley of the Shadows" that he had
taken of the rocks in the creek at the bottom of his parents'
East
York home. Prof.
GUILLET always attributed his success in
finding summer jobs at Eastman Kodak to his early passion for
photography.
He graduated from the University of Toronto with an honours degree
in physics and chemistry in 1948. Unable to find a job in Canada,
he began working fulltime as a research chemist for Eastman Kodak,
first, in Rochester and, then, in Kingsport, Tennessee.
During the day, he worked on new types of graft and block copolymers
but spent his evenings enjoying the company of Helen
BIRCHER,
a young university graduate from Nashville, Tennessee., who had
recently moved to Kingsport to work for the Girl Scouts. "It
was a very small town and everybody knew everybody and we had
a ball," she said, "dating and hiking and parties and church."
They were married in 1953 in Nashville.
The next year, the
GUILLETs went to Saint John's College, Cambridge,
in England. Rationing was still in effect, the best form of transport
was a bicycle, and they found lodging in a thatched cottage.
He studied under R.G.W. Norrish, a future Nobel laureate, earning
his Ph. D in photochemistry in 1955. Twenty years later, the
university honoured him with an Sc. D, a doctor of science.
After
Cambridge, the
GUILLETs went back to Kodak in Kingsport,
where all four of their children were born. James worked as senior
research chemist and later research associate in charge of polyolefin
research before joining the chemistry department at the University
of Toronto as an associate professor in 1963. At the time, he
had 30 U.S. patents and had published 20 scientific papers.
John POLANYI, a future Nobel laureate in chemistry, was on the
hiring committee. "He had a great string of patents to his name
and we worried that he wasn't going to fit into academe," he
remembered, noting the cultural disparities between industry
and the "ivory towers."
Fears that Prof.
GUILLET's approach might be too commercial proved
groundless. In 1969, he was promoted to full professor and named
professor emeritus in 1991. "His bent was to do academic science
and to figure out why things happened the way they did, rather
than how useful they were," said Prof.
POLANYI. "He warned all
the time against letting the applications of science dominate
the university agenda."
At the time, polymer chemistry wasn't a particularly sexy field.
That changed largely because of Prof.
GUILLET's work. Hearkening
back to his early interest in light and shadow in photography,
Prof. GUILLET's main areas of research involved studying the
way polymers react to light. Polymers are large molecules made
from smaller and simpler molecules. They can be artificial, such
as plastics, or natural, such as proteins and
DNA.
Before his
time, people were interested in how light reacts with small molecules
and he advanced the science with large molecules.
This research led to one of his most important discoveries: how
to produce polymers that will degrade or break down in sunlight.
In other words, a potential antidote to much of the world's litter
problems.
In true scientific fashion, the solution came to him while he
was working with his students on the opposite problem: creating
a polymer that is resistant to the sun's rays. Electrical wires,
which are insulated with plastic, have to be replaced every so
often because the sun rots the plastic, making it useless as
an insulator.
In 1969, while Prof.
GUILLET was working on developing sun-hardy
polymers, he went on vacation with his wife Helen to Andros Island
in the Bahamas. Disturbed by the litter floating ashore from
cruise ships, he realized he could "make it disappear," according
to Mrs. GUILLET.
All he had to do was to create polymers that
were less resistant to ultraviolet rays from the sun.
And of course he did. He registered three patents for photodegradable
polymers in 1970, assigning the rights to the U of T. That same
year, he started a high-tech company called EcoPlastics to manufacture
ecolyte bio-cyclic plastics. The company, which also did contract
research on tar sands and greenhouse films, was never able to
raise the necessary capital in Canada. A Dutch deal collapsed
after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries oil
crisis of the 1970s. About 50 per cent of EcoPlastics was acquired
by a American entrepreneur in 1986.
Instead of a stock-market bonanza for the U of T, Prof.
GUILLET
was awarded a Lindbergh Grant worth $10,000 in recognition of
his efforts to create a better balance between technology and
the environment. He and a colleague were also awarded a gold
medal and Canada's patent number 1,000,000 for inventing photodegradable
plastics. Some years later, a cynical Prof.
GUILLET observed,
"It is perhaps a measure of the government's commitment to science
and technology that the medal turned out to be gold plated!"
During his career, James
GUILLET published nearly 300 scientific
papers and wrote 80 patent applications. He founded two other
companies besides EcoPlastics. Medi-Pro Sciences Ltd., which
was incorporated in 1976, did research on artificial skin and
medical applications of plastics. Solarchem Corporation (1984)
tried to develop pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals for
pollution control using sunlight as the primary energy source.
He was elected to the Royal Society of Canada and awarded a Guggenheim
Fellowship in 1981, a Killam Research Fellowship in 1987 and
the International Award of the Society of Polymer Science in
1999. During his career, he supervised 28 Ph. D. theses, 26 masters
degrees and 50 post-doctoral fellows and research associates.
He immersed himself in the lives and problems of his students
and the scientists who came from around the world to work with
him. "I thought he was a wonderful person who cared about his
students and would spend hours and hours tutoring them if they
were having a problem," says Susan
ARBUCKLE, his secretary since
she moved here from California in 1971.
That sentiment was echoed by John
FRASER,
Master of Massey College
at the U of T, who called on Prof.
GUILLET a number of times
to mentor troubled science students. "He was just incredible,"
said Mr. FRASER. "He knew what their log jam was and who they
should speak to." He also gave the college two Paul Kane portraits
that had belonged to his father.
One of his research associates was Maria
NOWAKOWSKA, now vice-rector
for research and international relations at Jagiellonian University
in Krakow, Poland. Back in the early 1970s, Prof.
NOWAKOWSKA,
then a Ph. D student, went to an international conference in
Prague, one of the few places she could visit before the fall
of communism. Prof.
GUILLET, who was the keynote speaker, spoke
with her after her presentation because he "always had the idea
to approach young people who needed his hand and his help," Prof.
NOWAKOWSKA said by telephone from her home this week.
He invited her to work in his lab, a trip she couldn't make for
15 years because of work and family commitments and the hurdles
erected by the state to keep her from defecting to the West.
She says his lab, then, was the best in the world in photophysics
and photochemistry and "supervisors were fighting" to find places
for their students "to work with Jim
GUILLET."
She arrived with no luggage, no place to stay, no computer, and
almost no cash, so Prof.
GUILLET took her home where she was
treated as a member of the family and given a bed until she found
a place to live. It was the beginning of an international collaboration
that continued until his death. Working with him was like being
in "a volcano of ideas," she said. "People respected him and
each other."
She met with him for the last time before Prof.
GUILLET underwent
heart surgery in August. Even in hospital he was still encouraging
her to pursue new patents on natural polymers and publish the
results.
James Edwin
GUILLET was born in Toronto on January 14, 1927.
He died September 23, 2005, from complications following successful
bypass surgery. He is survived by his wife, two siblings, four
children and nine grandchildren.

Suddenly at his home on Thursday, May 5, 2005, Doug passed away
after a brief struggle with lung cancer. Doug was the loved and
loving husband of Colette (née
MURPHY) and cherished father of
Carl and his wife
Sheila
HETI of Toronto and Jeremy and his partner
Lory PICHECA of Ottawa. Doug was predeceased by his parents Carl
and Hallie
WILSON of Selkirk, Manitoba. His sister Margaret Ann
and her husband Jeff
NOWATZKI of Winnipeg survive him. Doug enjoyed
the love of a large clan of sisters and brothers-in-law, many
nieces and nephews in Ontario and Manitoba, as well as several
little great-nieces and nephews. Doug started his career as a
Lawyer in Brantford in 1970 and set up the Legal Department at
the City of Brantford in 1975. He worked at the City until his
illness intensified. Doug was involved in many City projects
and enjoyed being a part of Brantford's growth and success in
recent years. He had great respect for his colleagues and all
the City employees whom he knew. His involvement in local sports
and with the Rotary Club of Brantford enriched his life and made
him many Friends. His love of books and music sustained him,
especially in the last few weeks. The family will receive Friends
at McCleister Funeral Home, 495 Park Road North, Brantford, Sunday
2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held at St. Andrew's
United Church, 95 Darling Street at George Street, Brantford,
Monday at 2 p.m. Cremation. Reverend Allan
LYNK will officiate.
If desired, donations in Doug's name to the Brantford Public
Library, The Rotary Club of Brantford or the Canadian Cancer
Society would be greatly appreciated. McCleister (519) 758-1553.
