Ganesh a ‘rogue’, father testifies BByy SStteepphheenn SShhaaww Staff Writer DDUURRHHAAMM ––––Ganesh Raghu- nauth, accused of poisoning his pregnant wife, smirked in court as his father scolded him, calling him “a sick man” and “a rogue.” Budhayshwar “Bud” Raghu- nauth, a retired school headmas- ter who lives in Guyana, testified as a defence witness at his son’s first-degree murder trial Wednesday. During cross-examination by prosecutor Cindy Johnston, the elder Raghunauth, 58, said he had no clue his son was having affairs with three other women prior to the death of his wife He- moutie (Geeta) Raghunauth, 28. “It’s more than surprising. It’s more than a shock to me,” re- sponded Mr. Raghunauth, after Ms. Johnston outlined his son’s admitted infidelities. “That is very much unaccept- able; adultery. He’s a rogue and that’s no joke,” he said as his son smirked in the prisoner’s dock. Nor was he aware, he said, his son was engaged to a New York woman, Indira Seonarain, three weeks before his daughter-in-law died May 14, 2000. “It’s awful, it should not have been,” said the white-haired se- nior Raghunauth. When told the younger Raghu- nauth skipped out on the impor- tant day of Hindu funeral ser- vices for his dead wife, leaving for New York to visit his fiance, Bud Raghunauth again admonished his son. “It’s his wife, he should have been there. He’s a sick man,” he said in harsh voice. Ganesh Raghunauth, 32, is ac- cused of lacing Mrs. Raghu- nauth’s lunch with sedatives and then poisoning her with enough cyanide to kill 64 people. The testimony of his father, who was visiting the couple from Guyana when Mrs. Raghunauth died, is key to the defence that she committed suicide.

Ontario Power Generation is ap- plying to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to remove the guaranteed shutdown state (GSS) on Unit 4, Pat McNeil, the plant’s senior vice-president of nuclear strategy and support, told the Community Advisory Council on Tuesday. “It looks like we’ll do it in the next few days,” Mr. McNeil said. “It looks like the milestone is closer and closer.” The ‘A’ side of the plant has been laid-up since 1997. If the CNSC approves removing the GSS, Unit 4 should be produc- ing power by early summer, Mr. McNeil said. However, the work is at least two years behind schedule and millions of dollars over the orig- inal estimate. “Commissioning work is under way in many areas of the plant,” he added, noting most of the requirements imposed by the CNSC have been completed. “We expect to apply and we expect it will be two or three weeks before they give us the approval to remove the guaran- teed shutdown state,” Mr. Mc- Neil added. CNSC staff will “watch us as we bring it on line,” he noted. “It will be the first time in five years the ‘A’ side has produced power rather than draw power.” OPG’s plan is to return subse- quent units in six- to nine- month intervals. Mr. McNeil added Units 6 and 8 on the ‘B’ side have returned to service after being shut down within hours of each other in early March. New matching program will help SARS quarantined couple, others in similar spots BByy KKeeiitthh GGiilllliiggaann Staff Writer AAJJAAXX ——Kathy and Bruce England of Ajax now know who they can count on as a friend. And one of them is Pick- ering resident Gayle Clow. The Englands have been quarantined because of se- vere acute respiratory syn- drome (SARS) and turned to their neighbours for help. In return, says Mrs. England, they were given the cold shoulder. After learning about the Englands’ plight, Ms. Clow is setting up a system where those in need will be matched with those willing to help. “I was absolutely out- raged,” Ms. Clow said after learning about the couple. “I think it’s a terrible thing because obviously precau- tions can be taken.” She called the Englands Thursday morning to offer her support. “I have the idea to bring together people in quaran- tine and people who want to help,” she added. Mrs. England has gone through the 10-day home quarantine, while her hus- band spent his time in hos- pital. A Toronto ambu- lance driver, he contracted SARS transporting pa- tients and while at Scar- borough Grace Hospital. Mr. England was re- leased from Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospi- tal Wednesday, but was still suffering from linger- ing effects so he’s now under quarantine at home. He has to go back for a checkup Tuesday. While she was at home quarantined, Mrs. England said she sought help from their neighbours, hoping they could buy her gro- ceries, walk their golden re- triever K.C., and clear their sidewalk after a snowfall. But, each time, Mrs. England said, the neigh- bours turned her down. “These are people we barbecue with in the sum- mer time. You think they’re your friends,” she stated, adding the rejections left her “devastated”. She asked one person to take the dog for a walk and “they said ‘no’. I hung up the phone. I was absolutely destroyed. “It’s devastating. People all around you won’t do anything when you need it.” The family is “living in prison, living in our prison,” she added. “It’s dif- ficult enough to live in the house almost as strangers. He’s upstairs and I’m downstairs. We sleep sepa- rately and we eat separate- ly.” Part of the problem may be the lack of information getting out or the wrong in- formation being dissemi- nated. “We’re told one thing by the health department and hospitals tell us another,” Mrs. England said, adding she believes health depart- ments aren’t providing all the necessary information. After the family’s story was publicized Thursday she received numerous calls. “It’s renewed my faith in humanity, people helping other people,” she said. “Neighbours should be helping their neighbours.” She said there are a number of ways to help those in similar situations, such as leaving items or groceries outside of a house. “They don’t have to come in for tea,” Mrs. Eng- land added. “People have given me a great deal of support with their calls. You don’t have to be afraid of it. You just follow some simple rules.” Mrs. England called Ms. Clow’s idea “absolutely in- credible. It’s the best thing they can do. Anyone who wants or needs help can e-mail Ms. Clow at gylclow@yahoo.ca. Leave your name, phone number and address and if you need help or want to help. That’s what friends are for... A.J.

He said he later discovered her unconscious in their Pickering residence when he returned home with his father in the afternoon. The father contradicted his son’s testimony in a number of areas. He testified his daughter-in-law appeared “jovial, happy” on the day she died and he didn’t notice the cou- ple arguing at any time during the morning. Bud Raghunauth said his son went to the store and bought Mrs. Raghu- nauth a bouquet of Mother’s Day flowers, and later prepared lunch. “He did the cooking, the meat, chicken, fish, duck, rice,” he told ju- rors. Mrs. Raghunauth “dished (the food) out for us” and the family, in- cluding the couple’s infant son, ate lunch the Crown says was drugged with sedatives. “All of us finished together. At least I had all of mine,” said Mr. Raghu- nauth. After lunch, he said he went with his son and grandson to Sears, where Ganesh bought a present for his wife, then to a cricket match in Scarbor- ough. Then they came home around 1:30 p.m., expecting to pick up Mrs. Raghunauth to go have a family por- trait taken, Mr. Raghunauth testi- fied. His son entered the home first, he testified, and after several moments called out: “Dad, dad, dad. Come and see what happened to Geeta.” He went to the second floor wash- room in the Beaton Way home and saw his daughter-in-law lying on the floor unconscious. “I lifted her up and braced her head to my knees and I saw her eyes open,” Bud Raghunauth said. Mrs. Raghunauth was still breathing, he added. “I was shocked, very emotional. (Ganesh) was crying. It was very sad.” The Crown suggested the elder Raghunauth was trying to cover for his son. “You love your son and you came all the way from Guyana to tes- tify on his behalf today. You’re trying to help your son out with your testi- mony,” said Ms. Johnston. “No miss,” the witness responded. “You found out a whole lot of stuff today that you didn’t know before. He’s been able to deceive you a long time... you’ve been duped,” the Crown said. “True,” the father replied. The trial continues Tuesday. PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ——Tonnes of fill are no longer being trucked to Kin- sale. However, neighbours of the dump known as ‘Mount Kinsale’ disagree with City officials about Pickering’s new fill bylaw having anything to do with it. “I’m afraid it was close to being filled up anyway,” said Kees van der Vecht, president of the Kin- sale Residents Association. “But yes, fine, we’re happy it’s stopped.” For three years, his group has fought the fill operation on Hwy. 7, east of Balsam Road. It prompted Pickering to draft a bylaw last fall requiring permits for the placing and removal of fill, and topsoil disturbance. Council passed the bylaw Jan. 20 after deferring it to address concerns from neighbours that the pro- posed legislation had too many loopholes. Pickering’s effort to stop the filling was “an attack on two fronts”, said City Councillor David Pickles, with the City launching a lawsuit against owner James Sabiston for oper- ating a commercial business in a residential zone, while also serv- ing him notice he would have to apply for a permit under the new bylaw. The City lost the case at the end of March. City clerk Bruce Taylor said Mr. Sabiston’s lawyer has since told the City he would not be reapplying for a permit and has ceased all operations on the site. Mr. Sabiston did not return calls. ✦ Murder from page 1 A/P PAGE 6 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 20, 2003 www.durhamregion.com Progress for Durham companies Changes paying off with better results in annual pollutant report The administrators at Gerdau Ameristeel in Whitby, for- merly Co-Steel Lasco, were upfront about the problems the company faced when the Taking Stock-North Amer- ica Pollutant Releases report first came out. In the early years of the reports, which were created as part of the North American Free Trade Agreement, the local steel company was judged one of the worst polluters in North Amer- ica. But over the past half-dozen years, Gerdau Ameristeel has promised to clean up its act and the results have been aston- ishing. Consider these improvements: for 1997, the company rated 16th worst among North American companies on the list for pollutants. By 1998, the company had dropped to 25th and in 1999 it nearly cracked through the worst 100, hitting 98th. Well, Gerdau Ameristeel now ranks 275th worst in total pollu- tant releases among 24,199 companies in North America. The trends are extremely positive, as administrators predicted years ago and have since delivered. The progress dates back to September 1999 when Gerdau Ameristeel began the process of sending its baghouse dust to a specialty recycler as opposed to carting it to a licensed off-site landfill. The improved method is far more environmentally friendly and delivered an excellent year 2000 rating for the local company. Officials at the plant expressed confidence the changes they were making would work and the proof came through in the ratings, which are a little over two years behind the current date. Delphi Canada, the battery plant in Oshawa for General Mo- tors, moved slightly up the 24,199-strong factory list, sitting at 12 ,13 5th worst in 2000. It had been 14,177th in the previous re- port. Dominion Colour of Ajax rated 953rd worst in 1998 and 9,16 2nd in 2000, a dramatic improvement. Ontario ranked third among all U.S. states and Canadian provinces among the worst polluters, trailing only Texas and Ohio. Much of the blame for Ontario's high ranking has been placed on the Province's coal-fired Nanticoke power station on Lake Erie, which increased its emissions by 3,000 tonnes, a tremendous amount. That certainly skewed the totals to some extent. While the Province must be diligent in its efforts to bring re- ductions in pollutants at its plants to protect our environment, it might take a lesson in how to do so from the work being done at Gerdau Ameristeel. One of the keys to reducing waste pro- duction at the company was to recycle process wastes, and to invest in efficient equipment to capture and recycle metal from old cars and from scrap steel. Gerdau Ameristeel says it will continue its program to re- duce its pollutants and, clearly, based on its track record, it will deliver. That's good for us all. Lack of information from teachers, politicians frustrates parent TToo tthhee eeddiittoorr:: My concern over the work-to-rule reached a peak when I received my son's report card. Letter grades were put in pen and the rest of the report was not filled in. The report was unsigned by the teacher and my son's student number was left blank. I feel this report card does not fully represent my child's progress in school. I question the implied assertion that proper evaluation of a child's progress in school is outside the regular duties of a teacher. Since then, I have sent e-mails to the following people: Whitby-Ajax MPP Jim Flaherty; Education Minister Eliz- abeth Witmer; Ajax trustees Marilyn Crawford and Melinda Crawford; Rachel Gencey, president, Durham unit of the Elementary Teachers' Fed- eration of Ontario; and Lakeside Pub- lic School's principal. To date I have received prompt re- sponses from only the principal of the school and Marilyn Crawford. As for the others, their silence is deafening.

Use common sense with SARS concerns When my son woke up with a runny nose last week, all I could think was, 'Please don't get sick. I don't want to take you anywhere health care is pro- vided.' And, I believe a lot of people are having the same reaction. People who have been sick enough that they would normally have gone to the doctor are saying they aren't making an appointment out of fear of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. A necessary visit to a near-empty doctor's of- fice last week leads me to believe many people are feeling the same way -- it would appear people are suddenly only seeking medical at- tention when absolutely necessary, and even ignoring health concerns for which they probably should see a doctor. Certainly SARS is an issue in the GTA, and absolutely no ques- tion about it, all necessary steps should be taken to contain the mysterious and potentially deadly illness. But how risky is it for the general population? The risk "continues to be low," Dr. Colin D'Cunha, Ontario's com- missioner of public health said last week. I tend to believe him. Because here in Ontario, in the wake of the Walkerton water tragedy, potential public health disasters are not taken lightly. No one will ever for- get what is widely considered one of the worst public health crises in Canadian history, when 2,300 peo- ple got sick and seven died of E. coli and campylobacter poisoning from the municipal water system. It was not, in retrospect, initially taken nearly seriously enough. After that, when something that could potentially impact the health of scores of people comes up in this province, nobody messes around. Are we over-reacting? I think so. I have to believe it is still generally safe to go to the doctor's office. I feel confident there's no need to don a mask before heading out in public. And I also think it's unnec- essary to give unusually wide berth to someone who appears to have a head cold -- chances are, a head cold is all they have. Common sense rules apply. We should be washing our hands reg- ularly, but really, when shouldn't we? Avoiding the so-called SARS hot spots are absolutely necessary. And if a doctor indicates you should be in quarantine, for heav- en's sake, get in your house and stay there until you're told it's safe to come out.

Ask The Podiatrist When It Comes To Orthotics, First Impressions Count Ronald J. Klein B.Sc., D.P.M. Podiatrist-Foot SpecialistAllergies? NO NEEDLES. Printed Results, Accurate I’ve been an orthotic wearer for the past ten years and I need to replace them as they have lost their stiffness. My last two pair of orthotics were fabricated from a plaster cast impression of my feet. I now see some offices using other impression techniques such as carbon imprints, semi weight-bearing foam box impressions and full weight-bearing computer gait analysis. Is there really a difference? Dear Reader: Thanks for your letter. We have not addressed orthotics yet in any of our articles. The term orthotics comes from the Greek word Ortho which means straighten. Thus, an orthotic will straighten or align a fool deformity. Orthotics are fitted to the patient’s foot and, when worn in shoes, will redistribute the patient’s weight on the foot so that their gait is more balanced and abnormal motions are controlled. This will allow the patient to function more comfortably. Orthotics are made out of many different types of materials of varying flexibility (soft, semi- soft or rigid) thicknesses and shock absorbing abilities. We, as podiatrists, take in to account the age and weight of the patient, the activity the orthotic is to be used for and the shoe type it is worn in. It is not uncommon for a patient to have two pairs of orthotics, one pair for athletic shoes and the other for fashionable shoes. The athletic orthotic is bulkier broader and more cushioned. It is better suited for wearing when exercising. The thinner orthotic, usually the newer graphite material, is better suited for inserting into tighter fitting dress shoes. The type of medical problems that can be eased by the use of orthotics are numerous, but must occur as a result of a foot that has a weaker arch (flatter foot) causing the foot to pronate or roll into the arch. This type of motion can lead to arch pain, shin splints, planter fascitis, knee, hip and lower back pain, to name a few. The impression taking technique, like the foundation of a house is most important to achieving a positive orthotic result. The preferred method and the one that I use in my office is to take a plaster NON WEIGHT-BEARING cast of the patient’s foot. This will give the exact position before it has collapsed. Avoid foam box impressions as they collapse the arch somewhat and it is more difficult to achieve the neutral position. Don’t be fooled by the high tech illusion of the computerized gait analysis. This looks state-off-the-art but again the arch is collapsed and weight bearing. No one in the health profession sees more feet than a podiatrist and therefore no one is better trained to treat them. Many other professionals, as well as retailers, are “selling” orthotics. Know to ask the right questions, including what impression technique is used. The practitioner prescribing orthotics must possess the following qualities: 1. The practitioner must have a detailed understanding of the fabrication foot orthotics from start to finish and must understand how errors in the cast can affect the shape and function of the orthotic. 2. The practitioner must be able to treat the patient as an entirely, not just the foot. 3. Finally, and most importantly, the practitioner must understand the biomechanics of the lower extremity and how to adjust or modify the orthotic after it is dispensed. While attending a biomechanical seminar in Montreal last October, a study was presented explaining the merits and long term benefits of a plaster cast impression. The percentages of relief of symptoms realized by the patient with orthotics done from a plaster cast out weighed the results achieved with a foam box impression or computer imagery. Orthotics, although not covered by OHIP, are usually covered by most extended health care plans. Know the restrictions of your plan. Some may only pay when a plaster cast it taken. Other plans may only cover the cost of the treatment if it is provided by a podiatrist. If you are unsure about the quality of care, make some phone calls. Most podiatry offices will be more then helpful in explaining their office policy with regards to orthotics. If you have a specific question you would like answered or a topic you want addressed, send it to ask the podiatrist c/o The News Advertiser.

Do you need a lift or has Mother Nature not been as generous to you as you would like her to be? Child bearing, weight loss or just plain didn’t get any, are all contributing factors to having smaller breasts. Sure, now a days there are Miracle bras, water bras and illusions (boobs in a box) and let us not forget the old standby’s duct tape and Kleenex tissues. But what happens to our self-esteem and silhouette when all is removed? Back to undressing in the dark. Which can really affect our own well being. Breast augmentation is a personal choice for most women who have experienced any of the above. Some women experience having one breast larger than the other which is easily remedied with implants. Implants will allow you to have more saline solution infiltrated into the smaller breast, which will make the breasts more symmetrical. Other women have lost breast tissue and look very saggy. They believe their only option is to have a breast lift, which leaves large visible scars. An appropriate size implant placed in the pocket can give you an illusion of a lift with a small discreetly hidden incision. There are so many case scenarios to mention at this time but if you would like to learn more about this #1 aesthetic procedure, you may call 1-800-390-5611 to book a complimentary consultation.

And how. Kirsty McGeown has lived in the country much of her life. But the Picker- ing resident was still im- pressed with the aid and offers of help that have come in since a $250,000 fire March 30. The blaze destroyed a large barn/riding arena at 3290 Concession 7 near Kinsale, including two apartments on the upper level of the structure. Ms. McGeown and her family of four lived in one unit while a couple lived in the second. No one was in- jured, and the roughly 25 horses kept in the barn were outside at the time. However, the McGeown family’s pet cat, Moo, was killed. Neighbours immediately came to the McGeown’s aid, and she noted the phone hasn’t stopped ring- ing and people are showing up all the time. “It’s wonderful to see people care,” said Ms. Mc- Geown. “We had a dairy farmer show up with a truckload of hay. We had horse trailers lined up down the road with people saying, ‘I can take five horses’.” There was no warning in the early stages of the fire, said Ms. McGeown, noting the smoke alarm did not sound. “There was no smoke or anything in the apartment, no smell even,” she said. The first warning came when her five-year-old son Dylan heard someone screaming, ‘call 911’. Even then Ms. McGeown’s hus- band, Alan Eadie, as- sumed someone had fallen off a horse during a riding lesson. They then heard fellow tenant Claudio Munoz, who runs the sta- ble, yelling that everyone should get out. Ms. McGeown, her mother-in-law, Mr. Eadie and Dylan were upstairs at the time, their means of es- cape cut off by a flaming doorway. Mr. Munoz at- tacked the fire from one side with a garden hose, while Mr. Eadie emptied a fire extinguisher on it from the other. Ms. McGeown said she wrapped a blan- ket around Dylan and her- self and everyone made it down the stairs to safety. “It made our exit possi- ble,” she said. “If it had happened in the middle of the night, we wouldn’t have made it out.” Pickering Deputy Fire Chief Mark Diotte said barns typically burn fast and this incident was no exception. “They go really quickly and when (firefighters) pulled up it was complete- ly involved,” said Mr. Diotte. A cause has not been de- termined. Neighbour Jeanine Car- son is helping to co-ordi- nate an effort to raise money to support the fam- ilies that were burned out. Ms. Carson said the family of four has already “been deluged with clothing” to replace what was lost, and that furniture donations “are starting to trickle in”. Over $2,500 has thus far been donated to the two families. Monetary donations can be sent to Mt. Zion United Church, C/O Murray Jones, 4450 Sideline 4, Ash- burn, Ont., L0B 1A0.

The Multiple Sclerosis So- ciety of Canada will be starting its 27th annual MS Carnation Campaign on May 8, continuing through the Mother’s Day weekend. The Durham Chapter will be selling carnations to the public to raise funds to f ight MS. “The MS Carnation Campaign gives us a chance to get out into our community to not only raise funds for the families living with MS, but to raise awareness about this often disabling disease,” said Tania Hobbs, public relations director. The campaign has raised over $36 million for the Multiple Sclerosis So- ciety of Canada since 1976. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that randomly attacks the central ner- vous system, affecting the control people have over their bodies. MS is usually diagnosed in people be- tween the ages of 20 and 40. For more information on MS or volunteering call 905-686-2581. A/P PAGE 12 NEWS ADVERTISER, SUNDAY EDITION, April 20, 2003 www.durhamregion.com APRIL 22, 2003 Seen from far above, in the darkness of space, the deep blue and vibrant green of Earth must surely be a beautiful sight to any who behold it. But under its attractive facade lies a broken world. Natural habitats are being destroyed, bodies of water are becoming dangerously polluted, wildlife resources are greedily exploited, aggressive agricultural practices are damaging the environment, and wars are not only destroying human life and social infrastructures, but our natural environments as well. Earth’s biodiversity - the wealth of plants, animals, ecosystems and genes - is what allows life on this planet to adapt, survive and thrive. As humans, we are completely dependent on this biodiversity. Ironically, we continue to destroy large parts of our natural world, placing extreme pressure on its many life forms, often to the point of extinction. Each new extinction of species leads us slowly but surely to our own. But who says you can’t change the world? Everyone of us has the power to improve the environment. One great way to start making a change for the better is by organizing an activity that promotes biodiversity awareness on National Earth Day, which is held each year on April 22. Plant a tree, or organize a wildlife awareness trek through a local forest or on a nearby mountain. If you have school-age children, get involved in a special project at their school. Throughout the year, continue to remember that you have the power and ability to change the world. Whenever possible, opt for food products and goods produced in accordance with sustainability guidelines, and avoid buying at-risk tree species such as wood taken from rainforests. Not using herbicides and pesticides on your lawn and garden is another great way to make a change for the better. Who says you can’t change the world? Water Facts: • The Oshawa Creek Watershed consists of 120km 2 of land, which drains into Lake Ontario starting in the Oak Ridges Moraine. This results in an average of 98,805,000 litres of water/day being discharged into the lake. • An acre of corn gives off 15,140 litres of water in transpiration each day • It takes approx. 3.75 litres of water to process a quarter pound of hamburger. • One drop of oil can contaminate up to 25 litres of water • 63 different species of fish live in the 15 watersheds within the jurisdiction of Central Lake Ontar io Conservation • On average, each person uses approx. 290 litres of water/day • Water is a natural insulator which regulates the earth’s temperature • On average a person will use 2.5-7 litres of water to brush their teeth if they leave the tap runnin g • It takes 7,850 litres of water to make four new tires • Approx. 1,600,000 km. of pipelines and aqueducts - enough to circle the earth 40 times are in the Un ited States and Canada Watersheds of the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Tree Facts: • Reduce Greenhouse Effect by planting a tree. Trees can absorb C02 at a rate of 13 pounds/tree/year. Trees reach their most productive stage at about 10 years. • Windbreaks around homes can be shields against wind and snow and heating costs can be reduced by as much as 30%. • Trees along rivers, streams, & lakes reduce water temperatures by their shade, prevent or reduce ban k erosion and silt, and provide hiding places for improving fisheries habitat • Research indicates that trees help reduce stress in the workplace and speed recovery of hospital pat ients. • Trees give people a multitude of recreational opportunities and provide habitat for wildlife. • Depending on size, species and condition, shade from trees can reduce utility bills for air conditio ning in residential and commercial buildings by 15-50% • Provide brilliant colours to landscapes in the fall.

Sunday, April 27th 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Pickering Recreation Centre O’Brien Room (Arena Entrance) Successful season ends for Pickering select squad PPIICCKKEERRIINNGG ---- The Pickering Pan- thers major peewee select hockey team fell just short of adding an- other title to its list of accomplish- ments this season. Competing in the recent Picker- ing Hockey Association 'A' Tourna- ment, the Panthers made it all the way to the final before falling to the Welland Tigers. Welland took an early 2-0 lead but the Panthers eventually tied it 3-3 with less than five minutes to play. The Tigers scored shortly after and although the Panthers tried frantically, they could not get the equalizer. The Panthers finished second in their division, resulting in a semifi- nal matchup with the Pickering Panthers major peewee 'A' team, which had finished first in its divi- sion. In an exciting game, the se- lects managed a 4-2 win. In Game 1, the Panthers came out flying and defeated a surprised Agincourt Lions team 10-0. In Game 2, the Panthers played a solid, hard-hitting game, but lost 4- 1 to the Tigers. The Panthers need- ed a victory in Game 3 to advance to the next round and came up big by defeating the Whitby Wildcats 'A' team 4-1. After Whitby opened the scoring, the Panthers stormed back with four unanswered goals. Just prior to the tournament, the Panthers sewed up the York-Sim- coe league championship with a hard-fought series win over the Whitby Wildcats. It was the first league playoff title for the Pan- thers, despite making it to the final the past three sea- sons. Needing only a win or a tie in the fifth and deciding game, the Panthers sprinted to a 4-0 lead, before holding on for the 4-2 win. Pickering won the series five points to three. Pickering needed a last- minute goal to pull out a 1-1 tie with Whitby in Game 4. In Game 3, Whitby squeaked out a 2-1 victory, scoring the winning goal on the power play in the last minute of the game. The Panthers took Game 2 at home 3-0 after opening the series with a 4-2 victory in Whitby. In the league semifinal, the Panthers ousted Clarington two games to one. Pickering opened the series with a 5-1 win in Clarington, before being edged 1-0 in Game 2. Pickering closed out the se- ries with a 2-1 road win. Pickering won the first round of the playoffs by beat- ing Oshawa two games to none, 5-1 at home and 2-1 in Oshawa. Pickering's tournament title came at the Pickering Panthers' annual Select Tournament over the March Break. The Panthers defeat- ed Waterloo (2-0), Erin-Hills- burgh (8-0) and Brampton (4-1) to earn a berth in the semifinals where they beat the Ajax Knights 3-1. In the f inal, Pickering edged Rich- mond Hill 2-1.
