Representing Canaa against nine other countries, Whitby took the gold in front of a most appreciative German crowd of about 2,000 people. The tournarnent began Jan. 2 with opening ceremonies, based on the Olympies. Players from each country paraded into the stadium and their national anthems were played. The gaines began with Whitby facing Sweden who had won the chamnpionship four of the last five years. Conditions at the stadium dictated the outcome of the gaine - ail gaines were- played at an open-air arena and for this gaine it was snowing.

Inx recent mionths the Missis- saçsof Scugog [sand First Nation and The Society of Heri- tage Associates, an affiiate of the Ontario Historical Society, have both written the minister. The groups are fearful that arrowheads and pottery found near the marsh will be lost for- ever unless sufficient measures are in place to preserve the artifacts. «I have no knowledge of how signiflicant it (find) is,» said Alice Edgar, Mississaugas of Scugog Island adininistrator. "If's the whole idea of putting houses there,» she said.

The Save Lynde Marsh citi- zens committee has appealed councils approval.of the project. An Ontario Municipal Board pre- hearing into the appeal has been scheduled for later this month.
