Quinn, HD/MLT/DHMS For Appointment Call 519-856-0917 In the past two years, nine more physicians have chosen to locate their practice in Milton a trend that Halton hopes will continue across the region. An estimated 40 physicians are required in Halton to meet the Provincial standard of one family doc- tor for every 1,380 people. Our goal is to bring health professionals to Halton, said Angela Sugden Praysner, the Regions Physician Recruit- ment Co-ordinator. Miltons experience and success over the last two years can be ap- plied across the region, to ensure that all Halton resi- dents have access to the quality health care they de- serve. The addition of nine phy- sicians could technically remove Milton from the list of under serviced communi- ties (both Milton and Halton Hills were declared under serviced by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care). But that designation is based on a population of 32,000, said Cindy McDonell, Chief Operating Officer of Milton District Hospital, Halton Healthcare Services. We will be reapplying to the Min- istry based on our actual population today, which is closer to 38,000. According to McDonell, Miltons under serviced des- ignation has certainly helped its efforts. The ability to re- cruit students at provincial medical schools, additional funding for site visits, and tui- tion reimbursement programs have gone a long way. Said McDonell. But we also work closely as a team, pro- viding rapid responses to inquiries, ongoing follow- ups, site visits, community toursour success relies heavily on a team effort, in- volving everyone from hospital administration, the chief of staff and physicians, to community contacts and volunteers. Halton has a great deal to offer a physician, said Sugden Praysner. Not only its proximity to major centres like Toronto and Hamilton, but also as a great place to live, work and raise a fam- ily.

The team includes, front, from left: Paul Nolan, Davis Quinn and Peter Wright. Back: Ceremonial puck dropper John Mowat, George Gidman, David Entwistle, Scott Allonby, Ken Kavanagh and Steve Matheson. Submitted photo By Tony Saxon Actons Rob China Wall Warrington showed just why he is considered the greatest goaltender in Wiener Cup history on Thursday, garnering MVP honours as the Acton Sa- bres ended a seven-year drought with a two-games- to-one victory over the aging Caballeros in the 20th annual Boxing Day tourney, played in the Ac- ton High School parking lot.Warrington was simply brilliant, making numerous big saves to hold the Sa- bres in Game One, then throwing up a wall as the Caballeros dominated Game Three. Warrington clearly outplayed Cabal- lero netminder Dave Five Hole Quinn, who made the easy saves but failed to come up with any key saves late in the game. Warrington had some com- petition in garnering his ninth MVP trophy. Bob Little played his best Wiener Cup in years, turn- ing in a stellar defensive effort. Scott McDonough regained his shooting touch and led all scorers in the match, and newcomer Danny Tremblay earned Rookie of the Year hon- ours with an inspired o f f e n s i v e e f f o r t . While the Sabres played with renewed vim and vig- our, the same couldnt be said of the Caballeros. Apparently Father Time has caught up with the former champs. Scott Allonby appeared glued to the parking lot, Ken Kavanagh had trouble re- leasing his usually potent shot and Mike Yalowica sleptin.The Sabres are now anxiously awaiting their beer and wings prize, at which time Warrington w i l l b e g i v e n h i s M V P t r o p h y .
