WITH THE CANDIDATES Legislation protects agricultural preserve By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Developer Silvio DeGasperis isn’t planning on sell- ing the land he owns in the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve, even though the Province has officially made the land off-limits to develop- ment. The Province passed the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve Act late Dec. 15, which protects 4,700 acres of farmland in central Pickering that is east of York-Durham Townline and west of Duffins Creek. Mr. DeGasperis owns 1,500 acres of land in the preserve. “We are not considering the sale of our land in the Growth Manage- ment Study urban boundary (Cher- rywood),” he wrote in an e-mail Monday. In 1999, when the Province sold the land, which it had owned since expropriating it in the mid-1970s, some of it was bought by develop- ers who stood to make a large profit since much of the land was sold at agricultural prices with easements on it indicating it remain agricul- tural “in perpetuity.” The City held the easements and removed some of them in March 2005 to settle a lawsuit with land- owners. The City’s growth management study recommends the southern portion of the preserve -- known as Cherrywood -- be developed. Pickering gets ‘great Christmas present’ Asking Province to declare city underserviced By Danielle Milley Staff Writer PICKERING — Pickering wants the Province to act immediately to help ease the doctor shortage in the city — and help prevent more talk of transfers of departments from the Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital. At Monday’s council meeting, Ward 1 Regional Councillor Mau- rice Brenner introduced a mo- tion requesting that the provincial minister of health designate Pick- ering as an underserviced area for physicians. Council had previously made a request in 2003, but got no re- sponse. This latest one comes on the heels of the near transfer of pediatric and obstetrical services out of the community and to the Rouge Valley Centenary site be- cause of a shortage of pediatri- cians. “Inaction is something this com- munity cannot tolerate,” Coun. Brenner said. Within a week of making the announcement of the temporary transfer of services from Ajax and Pickering, the hospital adminis- tration was able to find the cover- age to fill the on-call schedule so the services wouldn’t have to be moved -- at least for now. Coun. Brenner said in Picker- ing alone there is a deficit of 18 physicians. The minimum stan- dard is one doctor for every 1,200 residents, whereas in Pickering that number is one for more than 2,000. “The Province of Ontario must act on this designation,” he said. “Let’s hope Minister (George) Smi- therman understands the shortage of physicians in this community.” If a community is designated as underserviced, financial incen- ® • S A L E S • S E R V I C E • L E A S I N G • R E N T A L S • B O D Y S H O P 5 0 3 K in g s to n R d ., P ic k e rin g w w w .p v w .c o m (9 0 5 ) 4 2 0 -9 7 0 0 P I C K E R I N G V O L K S W A G E N I N C .

Sandy Rider, president of the WDRA, was ecstatic Monday when she heard the legislation had passed. “What a great Christmas present for all the people who worked so hard to do this,” she said. The legislation would reinforce the conditions agreed to in the 1999 mem- orandum of understanding (MOU), signed by the City, Region of Durham, the Province, Ms. Rider and the Green Door Alliance, which placed the ease- ments on some of the land. It would ensure all existing easements are held in perpetuity and reinstate easements previously held and released by the City of Pickering. ✦ New from page 1 New legislation protects agricultural preserve A.J.

A warrant was also issued for Andrew Janev, 21, of Hillcrest Road in Pickering. He is also known as ‘Jingles’. The arrest and warrant are a result of a stabbing that oc- curred at Petticoat Creek Com- munity Centre in the Kingston Road/Rougemount Road area of Pickering. The victim became involved in a confrontation with a group and was stabbed at around 11 p.m. The victim ran to a near- by residence where police and ambulance were called. He was treated at Rouge Valley Ajax and Pickering hospital for serious but non-life threatening neck and fa- cial injuries and released. The 17-year-old, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and robbery. Mr. Janev is wanted for ag- gravated assault, assault with a weapon and robbery. The investigation is continu- ing, with more arrests and charg- es expected to be laid. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Tom An- drews of the Ajax Pickering Com- munity Police Office Criminal Investigations Bureau at 1-888- 579-1520 or (905) 683-9100 ext 2528. Anonymous calls can also be made to Durham Regional Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). Arrest made in Pickering stabbing Ajax woman struck by car sustains head injuries AJAX — An Ajax woman is in hospital after being struck by a car while crossing a street Monday eve- ning. Durham Regional Police said the 49-year-old victim sustained serious head injuries and was transferred to intensive care in Toronto following the accident, which occurred at the intersection of Finley Avenue and Panter Crescent around 5:15 p.m. A southbound Ford Topaz driven by an Ajax woman was turning left onto Panter when the pedestrian was struck, police said. Investiga- tors closed the intersection for sev- eral hours. Police want to talk to witnesses. Anyone who saw the accident is asked to call Detective Constable Jamie Pogson at 905-579-1520, ext. 5231. tives are made available to doc- tors relocating there and hospi- tals are given more recruitment tools. Ward 2 City Councillor Doug Dickerson said in addition to the Province not acting on the underserviced designation, it also hasn’t approved the Ajax expansion. “That’s a travesty as the com- munity has committed to or raised more than $20 million,” he said. The tone of the discussion at Monday’s meeting was less crit- ical of the hospital, compared to two weeks ago when coun- cillors voiced their opinions on the administration’s decision to temporarily transfer services. “The Province has put the hospital in that position by not having the funds or the phy- sicians,” said Ward 2 Regional Councillor Bill McLean said. “Let’s get this hospital redevelopment and get this hospital back on track.” Ward 1 City Coun- cillor Kevin Ashe, who also sits on the Rouge Valley Health System Foundation board, was advocat- ing for council to support the hospital in the previous dis- cussion and was glad to hear councillors doing just that with this motion. “This motion is exactly that, it’s getting behind our hospital and our residents and asking for action from the Province,” he said. Mayor Dave Ryan had also previously talked about helping the hospital find a solution. He said this motion was the right approach. He also called on the minister to intro- duce a new manage- ment model for hos- pital systems so ad- ministrators can bal- ance the resources of the whole system. Doctors currently have privileges at just one site and can’t be moved across the system. In a recorded vote the motion passed unanimously.

First Pickering Place Edwards welcome those who will be alone on Dec. 25 AJAX — In what has be- come a Christmas tradition, the Edwards family is once again opening its Ajax home Christ- mas day to those who will be alone. “It’s Christmas day and we’re celebrating Jesus’s birth,” says Andrea Edwards. “It’s some- thing He would like us to do, and that’s why we’re opening our home on Christmas day.” Ms. Edwards, husband Roger, and their daughters, Daisy and Cristal, have invited people to a traditional Christmas dinner for the past three years. The family asks that anyone who intends to come call ahead so they know how much food to prepare. The dinner is from 5 to 7 p.m. For more information and to confirm attendance, call 905- 686-7204.

Durham residents are on their fourth premier and their third political party in power, but a decade-old promise to build a consolidated regional courthouse, has finally been kept. The new building, which will bring together the half-dozen disparate courts located around the region — a number of them tacked on to shopping malls — will be built smack dab in downtown Oshawa. That was where Oshawa politicians figured it would go all those years ago. But that was in 1995 when Bob Rae was premier. The NDP is long gone and between the current Liberal re- gime of Dalton McGuinty we had the Mike Harris-Ernie Eves years where there was uncertainty about when and where such a courthouse would be constructed. But now comes word that the groundbreaking on the huge new building will happen Jan. 16 -- years before any construction was actually expected. For the legal community, this new project is precisely what is needed. As Durham has grown , so have the needs of citizens, court employees, lawyers, Crown attorneys, judges and police officers. But a serious lack of space has meant long periods for those awaiting court time. Bail court has been constantly backed up with remands meaning justice has been delayed. And justice delayed is justice denied. Now, however, those involved with the system can expect to have the very latest in modern technology so that they can make the system work effectively and efficiently. That can only help all of us in Durham who put plenty of our tax dollars into the justice system every year. The project is also a huge shot in the arm for downtown Oshawa. After the disappointing announcements last month about job cuts at GM, the courthouse will bring a large number of employees into the downtown core. And the courthouse, along with the downtown sports and entertainment complex, the sale of the Genosha, and other projects, will help generate more investment and development where it is needed most in this region: downtown Oshawa.

Police baffled by increase in boozing motorists All I want for Christmas is to feel safe behind the wheel of my au- tomobile. But that would seem to be a tall order. Durham Regional Police, who four weeks ago started their annual Festive RIDE (Reduce Impaired Diving Every- where) campaign, have so far nabbed no fewer than 65 people for drunk driv- ing offences; 21 were pinched in the past week alone. Dozens more drivers had their licenc- es lifted for 12 hours after registering warnings on roadside breath-testing de- vices. Contrast that number -- 65 drunk drivers -- with last year’s campaign, when after four weeks of RIDE Dur- ham police had laid 45 drunk driving charges. Huh? Sergeant Jeff Galipeau noted that the higher numbers are at least partly at- tributable to strategic positioning of RIDE stops — cops setting up where they know the drinkers are likely to be. But that’s only part of the explanation, he said. There’s another element, intan- gible and inexplicable: Why is drinking and driving increasing? “Basically, we’re scratching our heads and saying, ‘What’s happening?’” Sgt. Galipeau said. RIDE has been going on for long enough that anyone with a licence is familiar with it. We know the police will be out in force over the holidays target- ing those who’ve tippled before climb- ing into their autos. Still, Sgt. Galipeau wonders if more aggressive advertising and public aware- ness blitzes might be needed. Ad campaigns can be effective, and increasing the frequency with which of- ficers set up RIDE stops throughout the year may raise awareness. But people will still drink and drive. It comes down to a decision, made by the individual. And that element of conscious choice means there is great moral culpability for those convicted of impaired driving. These 65 people charged so far this sea- son are innocent until proven guilty but in the event guilty verdicts result, the penalties ought to be harsh. It’s the same as the agonizing ques- tions surrounding gun violence; the issue is addressed only when perpetra- tors are dealt with appropriately. That means imposing tough penalties, and dispensing with plea bargains that may expedite matters in the courts, but fail to address a serious social (and criminal) issue. Happy Holidays. Stay safe.

No joy in drunk driving stats Jeff Mitchell staff writer EDITORIALS & OPINIONS infodurhamregion.com Hospital fight just starting To the editor: Re: ‘Hospital stays in the baby business,’ Dec. 9. “There may have been miscommunication; it appears there was miscommunication and I take responsibility for that,” says Hume Martin, president and chief executive of- ficer of Rouge Valley Health System. There has been a terrific outpouring of support for our hospital recently, and we are thankful for it. The medical staff and others have voiced their views and suggestions clearly. The imminent threat of closing obstetric and pediatric ser- vices is gone. But for how long? It may be until the end of January; maybe the sword will fall in June. Then it will be another crisis and more uncertainty for staff and patients. The battle has not been won yet; it’s just beginning. Let’s be open about it, discuss the problems with no vague words and miscommunications. The administration has been saying a move would be for patient safety reasons because of a lack of pediatric coverage. So far, not enough stress has been put on safety in connec- tion with the dangers of travel on Hwy. 401, particularly for women in labour, due to deliver their babies. The pediatric problem can be solved, not the traffic on the 401. Has there really been enough of a continuous effort put into recruiting and keeping more pediatricians? The problems will not go away easily, but the people from our ever-growing communities of Ajax, Pickering and Whitby will never stand by idly seeing their hospital being dismantled.

Yanch OSHAWA 122 Albert St. 905-721-7506 AJAX 50 Commercial Ave. 905-619-1473 Region sticks with marketing alliance But much debate about bang for the buck DURHAM — The Greater Toronto Mar- keting Alliance will again get $100,000 from the Region, although some coun- cillors questioned what Durham’s get- ting for the money. While some councillors urged their colleagues to continue giving the Great- er Toronto Marketing Alliance (GTMA) money to promote Durham internation- ally, others weren’t convinced they’re getting bang for their buck. “A sk yourselves, would your constitu- ents go ahead with this for 53 cents (per taxpayer) per year?” said Ajax Mayor Steve Parish. Without the GTMA, Durham will not have the resources to attract investments from other countries, he said. “We’ve been doing this for how many years and where’s the beef?” asked Whit- by Mayor Marcel Brunelle. Oshawa Regional Councillor April Cullen said having Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion and Toronto Mayor David Miller as GTMA co-chairs speaks volumes to whose interest it’s best suited for right now. She added she wants to see “real jobs” created in Durham, not com- muter jobs. “We’re dealing with a very tight bud- get, very tight,” said Coun. Cullen, adding although it’s only $100,000, it’s coming up to $1 million over the years. If the Region were to pull its funding this year, maybe the GTMA would bring more to the table, she added. On the other side of council cham- bers, Oshawa Mayor John Gray support- ed staying in the GTMA. “They are out there promoting and exposing this area to the world,” said Mayor Gray. Oshawa Regional Councillor Brian Nicholson said without the GTMA, the Region’s economic development com- mittee would be asking for another $100,000 for its budget to do a portion of what the GTMA is able to do already. It passed in a 15-11 vote.

Through the Joint Waste Management Group, the two municipalities will be addressing the social, environmental and financial impacts of this issue by way of an Environmental Assessment (EA) under the Provincial EA Act. As a necessary first step, an EA Terms of Reference document, which outlines how the EA study will be completed, was developed through an extensive public consultation. On December 31, 2005 the Proposed EA Terms of Reference for the Durham/York Residual Waste Study was submitted to the Minister of the Environment for review and approval. As part of the review process, a formal 30-day review period starting January 6, 2006 and ending February 6, 2006 has been established to solicit feedback from the public and agencies on the document. This document incorporates feedback received from the public and agencies on the Draft EA Terms of Reference issued in October for review. Please be advised that the respective Councils in both the Regions of Durham and York approved the Proposed EA Terms of Reference for submission to the Minister of the Environment on December 14th, 2005 (Durham Region) and December 15th, 2005 (York Region). The respective council resolutions are provided in the Proposed EA Terms of Reference document.

The next would be to try to have more control over the fluctuation of gas prices. The third would be I’d like to have a few honest politicians.’ ‘The first one would be health, violence would be one of them and taxes.’ ‘Probably health care, I guess education for the kids and how about making our pensions a bit bigger.’ Brownridge believes ‘holistic’ approach needed with health The three most important issues facing Canada are the environment, health, and trust in our political system. The Green Party advocates for a holistic approach focused on prevention in our health-care system. Focus needs to be placed on the resurrection of the national fitness challenge for school children, improved air quality and environmental factors that affect us all. To clean up Ottawa, we need to move away from the usual politics of blame and focus on working together, both in Ottawa and with our constituents, at solv- ing the challenges before Canada.JEFF BROWNRIDGE Green Party Health-care system needs stability, says Dobson Three of the most important issues right now are the future of our health-care system, the security of our citizens, and environmental change. The health system requires stable funding, guaranteed by em- bedding funding in the Canada Health Act. Security concerns are highlighted by the escalation in violent crime, requiring a combination of community sup- port and education, adequate policing and realistic sentencing. Environmental concerns include poten- tial climate change for which conservation and new technology are the keys to improvement. Economic incentives should be used to encourage conserva- tion and development of alternative sources. Dale says faith in elected officials must be restored 1) Putting people first. We need strong national programs to ensure the next generation is raised to the best of our abilities and everyone has a chance to fully participate in this wonderful country. 2) Putting people first. We need to set national priorities that work for everyone. This means amending or abro- gating NAFTA and setting an independent foreign policy that ensures Canadians are safe when abroad. 3) Putting people first. We need election reform, tighter controls on election financing, an indepen- dent and powerful ethics commissioner and other items included in Ed Broadbent’s ethics package to restore people’s faith in those they elect. McTeague, Liberals want Canada at its full potential Health care, our economy, and Canada’s future are the three most important issues. My party an- nounced a rational plan for sustaining economic growth and our record (eight) deficit-free years in its Economic and Fiscal Statement. We provided pru- dent tax reduction and appropriate funding for ac- cessible and quality health care for all. A Liberal gov- ernment will ensure Canada remains competitive in the world marketplace by having a highly educated and skilled workforce. Funding is also provided for social programs ranging from day care, to assistance for students and secure pensions. A Liberal govern- ment will ensure Canada achieves its full potential.

Asked at the South Pickering Seniors Club Marilynn Kravec Health care From the Green Party website at www.greenparty.ca: The Green Party MPs would: • Ensure that the Canada Health Act applies to all provinces equally and is enforced. The Green Party of Canada is the only national party that has a plan to deal with the problem of private health care, which included urging Quebec to invoke the notwithstanding clause in the Supreme Court decision last winter; • Urge the Alberta government to pull away from the trend toward privatization. Alberta is one of a growing num- ber of provinces to subcontract long-term care for seniors to private companies; and • Advocate for both federal and provincial governments to promote education campaigns and to make the necessary AIDS treatments available.

Health care 2. economic sustainability 3. environment. I’ll discuss health care elsewhere in more detail, but I’d like to point out that these three issues are closely linked. Where I differ from the Conservatives is that I believe a healthy environment is essential to a healthy community and a sustainable economy -- not an obstacle to economic development. We have cut unemployment to its lowest level in 30 years, turned the massive deficits of the Mulroney years into surpluses, and reduced overall debt dramatically. This has freed up funds for investments in health care and environmentally sustainable economic development. MARK HOLLAND Liberal Modeste, NDP don’t want our future mortgaged Sustainability, ethics and accountability impact every area of voter concern. Jack Layton and the NDP have introduced innovative measures to address challenges in health care, the economy, education and the en- vironment. Tax cuts are a nice idea, but we must be careful to address cur- rent needs without mortgaging tomorrow’s promise. The NDP will do this through our plans for fair trade and economic reform, action to stop U.S.-style health care, a com- mitment to truly accessible post-secondary education and training opportunities and stewardship of our environment. We can ensure Parliament truly operates in the best interest of Canadians. Korus suggests renewed focus on our energy needs First is Canada’s energy needs and how those needs are to be met. Energy usage is growing in Canada, and non-renewable energy sources are becoming more scarce and more expensive. The Green Party would enhance energy conservation programs while shifting reliance away from non-renewable and onto renewable energy sources. Secondly is the environment and specifically how its continued degradation will severely impact our quality of life. We will go further to ensure that we protect what’s really important. Thirdly is access to, and quality of health care. We will reverse the trend of paying too much and getting too little. Thomas calls for more accountable government Canadians have lost all trust and integrity with politicians and with the recent scandals in Ottawa it is time to be accountable. Our party has pro- posed a federal prosecutor to deal with those who abuse the trust. Crime and the punishment of those who break the law are on everyone’s mind. We propose mandatory sentencing for misuse of firearms, enforcement of deportation orders, sentencing that is meaningful and a parole system that protects the innocent, not the guilty. Canadians pay too much tax. We will lower the GST for all, including seniors, stu- dents and low-income earners who would not benefit by income tax cuts.

I used to live in this area and the violence, it’s very critical... People in our country are very dependent on their cars, and health care, I’m getting older and you have to wonder what the system’s going to be like as we do age.’ ‘Violence, poverty and high gas prices because they’re important because they need to be dealt with. They’re just going to be getting worse if they’re not dealt with.’ ‘Health care, higher education and free trade. The baby boomers are getting older, there’s going to be a strain on health care. Higher educa- tion, again because more students are wanting education... (Free trade) again, the loss of jobs to Canadians.’ ‘I would say corruption and health care and gas prices, they’re really important. For gas, lots of people drive everyday so they’re spending quite a bit of money. (Political corruption), definitely doesn’t help people’s trust in the government that’s for sure.’Jennifer Wheeler Elaine Purves Jeff Cosman We asked Ajax residents: What do you think are the three most important issues facing Canadians today?

On December 16, Shige (She-gay) opened its doors to introduce exquisite East Asian Japanese and Korean cuisine to residents east of the city. When walking through Shige’s doors, you are instantly greeted by a warm, smiling hostess welcoming you to the restaurant. It is decorated with a modern Japanese fl are, adorned with dark, handmade wood furniture, imported from Asia. You can dine in the main room, or in one of their Tatami rooms for a more authentic experience. The Tatami room is a private area with the traditional Japanese decor, with attention to harmony & balance. The authentic fl oor style tables and seating are very comfortable (your legs and feet slip into an opening under the table). For your next party reserve a private room, which can hold up to 24 people. Shige offers healthy choices when dining out. All of their vegetables are steamed or roasted and the chefs only cook with AAA beef, white (chicken) meat and fresh fi sh directly from Japan. Combined, the two chefs at Shige have over 55 years experience and owner Veronica Joo has owned restaurants in Toronto for over 10 years. “One of my customers in Toronto told me that there weren’t many Japanese/ Korean restaurants in Pickering and that I should open one, so now here we are,” said Veronica. With quite an extensive menu, the choices of Japanese and Korean dishes can be overwhelming, but the servers are more than happy to recommend a dish to you. You can take a seat at the sushi bar and watch the chef prepare your meal right in front of you, or order off the menu. You will fi nd traditional sushi and sashimi entrées or 10 different types of organically grown salads. For the more adventurous types, try Korean BBQ, where the chef cooks your meal at your table or try a more traditional dish such as Bo Kum Jam Pong (fried mixed seafood with noodles) – this one has quite a bite to it!

Rated: PG-13 After years of hard work, Dick Harper (Carrey) is pro- moted to vice-president of Globodyne, a world lead- er in the consolidation of media properties. But one day into his new job, the firm is wiped out in an Enron-like calamity -- and Dick is left holding the bag. With no money set aside for this disaster, he and his wife, Jane watch in horror as their beautiful home, luxury cars and friends quickly dis- appear. Unprepared to let his American Dream fall apart, Dick takes a lesson from his shady employer and starts stealing. He and Jane exact comical revenge and teach big business a lesson. Wo lf Creek Directed by Greg McLean Starring: John Jarratt, Kes- tie Morassi, Cassandra Magrath. Rated: not rated Three college-age friends set off on the vacation of a lifetime in the Australian Outback, seeking fun, sun and adventure. However the light mood is soon re- placed by constant terror. Based on true events, the film is the story of their or- deal, a nightmare that con- tinues to worsen. The trio is out to explore Wolf Creek National Park and its mysterious me- teor crater. Upon returning to their car, it won’t start. Trapped in the middle of nowhere, all they can do is wait for rescuers to arrive. As night falls, colourful local bushman Mick (Jar- ratt) arrives in his massive truck, offering them a tow to safety. But it becomes apparent that Mick has no intention of helping them or ever letting them leave the Outback. Also on the big screen this weekend is ‘Munich’.

The Central Division-leading Rams improved their league record to 6-1-2 with a 3-1 win. Mark Ramkema, Tim Cooper and Kyle Hay scored for Ajax High. Better effort, but same result for Panthers By Al Rivett Sports Editor PICKERING — The effort was 180-degrees better than their pre- vious outing, but the Pickering Panthers suffered a similar fate in Vaughan against the Vipers on Monday. One day removed from an 8-0 shellacking by the Aurora Tigers, the Panthers were on the road for their penultimate OHA Ontario Provin- cial Junior ‘A’ Hockey League tilt before the Christmas break. Despite playing with more spirit, Pickering suffered a 3-2 loss to the Vipers at the Al Palladini Community Centre. The loss was the second in a row for Pickering, which has one game remaining in December against the Ajax Attack tomorrow (Friday) at the Pickering Recreation Complex at 7:30 p.m. The Panthers are 4-3-1 this month. With each of the previous three meetings against the Vipers being solid, up-and-down contests, Mon- day’s game was very much in that mould. But, unlike last Friday’s 6-3 win for the Panthers on home ice, Pickering couldn’t muster a second consecutive win. “As close as the score was, we were disappointed we lost,” says Panthers’ head coach John Winder. “A t the same time, after an 8-0 drub- bing the day before, I was proud of the boys to come back and play reasonably well.” There was, however, some hang- over from the lacklustre effort, as the first period of Monday’s game was one the Panthers would like to forget. The difference, thankfully, for Pickering was goaltender Mark Duchesne, who kept his team in the hunt, allowing only one goal despite his club being outshot 12-5. “It was a terrible first period,” says Winder. “We were lucky to be 1-0 down. Mark Duchesne played out- standing; he kept us in the game.” Pickering picked up the inten- sity considerably in the second and third periods, keeping Vaughan starting goalie Andrew Martin busy, but he was equal to the task, making 23 saves in the contest. Winder says the first period, cou- pled with a couple of defensive mis- cues that resulted in two of the three Va ughan goals, hurt the Panthers’ chances of winning the game and tying the season series between the two teams at 2-2. With the Panthers’ next three games against neighbouring rival Ajax, Winder says it’s imperative the Panthers nail down those points up for grabs against an Attack team that has all of five wins this season. “They’re pivotal,” says Winder. “Every year we’ve managed to allow Ajax to beat us, but we can’t allow it this year. Those games are so impor- tant to us.” In addition to tomorrow’s game in Pickering, the Panthers and At- tack play a home-and-home series the first weekend in January. The Attack is in Pickering on Friday, Jan. 6, with the Panthers in Ajax Sunday, Jan. 8.

Justin Fox was ill, while Andrew Dis- sanayake (bruised liver) and Ed Snetsinger (cut on hand) were out for the two weekend games as well as Monday’s tilt... Winder described Monday’s game with Vaughan as one of the best officiated games of the season. He applauded the lines- men for calling icings correctly, something that, in his mind, have been called neither consistently nor correctly all season... Wind- er refers to the week between Christmas and New Year’s as ‘alumni week,’ as many former Panthers currently in the NCAA or in the Ontario Hockey League will practise with the club during this time... Young curlers take first step toward Games berth By Jim Easson Special to the News Advertiser AJAX — The Annandale Curling Club will be well-represented at the bantam girls’ and boys’ zone play- downs at the Dalewood Golf and Curling Club, near Port Hope, next month.

And our life has changed forever It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone For part of us went with you We think of you everyday in silence And secret tears still flow What it means to lose you No one will ever know the pain They say that time will heal the pain but that is a lie Please God forgive our silent tears We love Joe very much Dear God please take a message To Joe in heaven above Tell him how much we miss him And give him all our love.
