DEC. 28/89
ROYALS 0 - GRADS 1
The Grads' Mike Vandenheuvel got the
only break during this game as he scored
a splendid goal on a pass by Wayne Rum-
ford. The Royals goalie had horseshoes
written all over him as he kept the score
down to a low margin.
KNIGHTS 2 - RED RUSTLERS 0
Jim Nyenhuis took the credit for the first
goal of the game after a great pass by
captain Larry Burtens. Second goal went
out to Lawrence Vink, his helpers were
Mark Louwagie and Scott Thompson. The
poor Red Rustlers ran out of time to try
for a come -back.
WINTHROP 0 - DUMPERS 2
Turkey dinners didn't seem to slow Brett
Finlayson down ,as he scored both Scoops for
the Durr►pers with assistance from Bqb
Henderson, Murray Houston and Dale Ken-
nedy. Winthrop missed open net oppor-
tunities and the cross bar would get in the
way time after- time. A great. game by
both teams. •
• PARR LINE 8 - RAIDERS 0
Dennis Dohnage was out of net this
week and scored the first goal of the
game, thanks to Steve Gibbings for the
direct pass. Adrian Salverda snuck in and
scored the second goal with help from Don
Wise. Paul Middleton zoomed the ball in-
to the top corner of the net for a goal, a
perfect pass from Wayne Pollock and Len
Van Wanderen. Raiders just couldn't seem
to buy a goal and unfortunately the time
ran out on them. Keep up your good
spirits.

Yes, this was the real Maureen
Flanagan who scored the first goal, great
back up by Tammy Nash and Audrey
Shenk. Lori Sherbeth nearly fainted with
disbelief, .saying oyer and over, "I scored,

and scored a neat goal. A breakaway by
Linda Boyd and a slick wrist shot pushed
the ball by the goalie and into the net.

ay OHIP premia s
When will premium payments end?
January 1, 1990.
Ontario residents are responsible for paying their
premiums until the end of December 1989, for the
period through March 31, 1990.
Will my health care coverage continue?
Yes. If you were covered you will continue to be covered
under your present OHIP number.
Payment of the final premium will ensure continuous
coverage to March 31, 1990.
After April 1, 1990, coverage will automatically
remain valid for all eligible residents of Ontario.
Ontario's health care system covers all residents of
the province including students, senior citizens, retired
people, people on social assistance, people who are
employed, unemployed or self-employed.
What should I do if I do not have
an OHIP number?
Contact your local OHIP office.
Will the change affect personal coverage
under company plans such as semi-
private coverage o. r company drug plans?
No.
Why did the Ontario Government
eliminate OHIP premiums?
In the past, many companies paid all or a percentage
of OHIP for their employees. Other companies paid
nothing. Many Ontarians paid OHIP premiums on their
own. Unfortunately, many of the people who had to pay
their own premiums were those who could least afford
them. The new Employer Health Tax and the elimination
of OHIP premiums will make the system fair for everyone.
Yes. Last year nearly fourteen billion dollars, one third
of the entire provincial budget, went towards providing
health care for Ontario residents. The elimination of pre-
miums in no way affects the amount of money the govern-
ment has committed to health care. It simply changes one
of the sources of the money. In the past OHIP premiums
only paid for a very small part off the Ontario health
care system. Most of the money for health care came
from general revenues collected through the tax system.
What do I do when I go to the doctor
or the hospital?
Do what you usually do. Use your OHIP number. It's
still the same. Present your number to show that you
are eligible for health care services.
