The incident occurred on Sat- urday, Dec. 14 at the Knob Hill Farms Food Terminal located at 500 Howard Street in ~ Oshawa. Police are searching for three males. The first suspect is described as being 6'-6'3", medium build, olive-colored skin, wearing a light-colored trench coat and light-colored hat, and armed with ashot gun. The second suspect is about .5'8", olive-colored skin, shoul- der-length black hair, wearing a navy jacket and armed with a handgun. The third suspect is white, and has a black beard. He was wearing a dark coat with a high collar. Police believe the suspects may have been wearing false beards and other disguises. Primary evidence indicates that the Brinks guard may have shot and wounded one of the suspects before he was killed. Malcolm Richard Bridgman, 31, of Whitby, died after being shot in the back by a bandit. A passerby was also wounded in the incident, but his injury has been described as non-life threatening. Police have been working around the clock trying to solve the crime. Durham Regional Police sta- tioned its mobile command cen- tre at the food terminal on Fri- day, Dec. 20 and Saturday, Dec. 21 in a bid to gather any infor- mation, Duty Inspector Bill Ko- lebniak told the Port Perry Star. The police are also request- ing that shoppers who were at the food terminal at the time of the incident check their vehi- cles for bullet hole damage. Anyone with any information is requested to call the special hotline (416) 433-4733 or Crime Stoppers (416) 436- 84717. Epsom News by Jean Jeffery Ce FEL I really wanted to attend the Uxbridge Seniors meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 17 but roads and weather were not permit- ting. I hear they had a good crowd to enjoy the lovely Christmas program planned by Laura Gibson. The vice-president took charge as the president had the flu. Sadie Johnson, Laura Gibson, her son Glen and his wife, Edie Barr, Cynthia Nidd and her violin also Glen's friend Graham Townsend who got his start fiddling with the Don Messer and his Islanders. There was another violinist but I forget the name of the one who played it. They really gave a wonderful Christmas program. All enjoyed a social hour in our rooms with tea and tea biscuits. Ronald Asling of Ft. St. John Alberta and his mother Hazel Asling of Ajax called on Donald and Mrs. Asling on Monday. Quite a surprise when Ron flew in for a visit. Sunday, Dec. 22 the Epsom- Utica Christmas tree concert will be held in Epsom Church at 7:30 p.m. - welcome to all. In the morning, service at Utica Church, Dr. Pat Asling told of her mission to Jamaica and Belise. There was special envelopes for those wishing to donate to this cause. Dec. 24, Tuesday evening at 8:45 p.m. at Utica Church. Come to the Christmas Eve Service and Communion. Our sympathy to the Noble family in the loss of their brother Alex. Our special sym- pathy to his sister Elsie Pren- tice, Gordon and family who are formerly from Epsom. Also sympathy to the Simp- son family in the loss of Aunt Epsom class enjoyed Pioneer Christmas at the museum Lula (Mrs. Ern. Simpson), es- pecially to Mrs. Earl Wilson and Mrs. Ross Evans, nieces, who live in our area. Lulu Rusnell went to Epsom School the same time I did. Deepest sympathy to Edie Barr in the loss of her hus- band last week. Dec. 13 Mr. Scott took his class to experience an old fash- ioned Pioneer Christmas at Scugog Shores Museum. Dec. 20 the school children had a wonderful skating party at the arena on Friday, then hurried back to the school for an early lunch, then out again to sing carols around the vil- lage. This is a wonderful treat for us. With all those smiling faces who could be sad. Doctors can cure the body but laughter can cure the soul. Laughter is the one tranquiliz- er that has no side effect - use it liberally. Merry Christmas - back to school on Jan. 6. I have been enjoying a copy of Exploring Port Perry {Our History}. I read first about Sam Farmer {so many memo- ries]. He went to Epsom School when he lived with the Tummonds family and my grandfather was the teacher here and Mrs. Farmer was my Sunday School teacher at the Port Perry United Church. I believe Marion and I were in the same class in high school. I couldn't write about my Christmas Memories because I am not a Senior Scribe. I couldn't enter the Christ- mas Cake Contest because for 20 years I baked, iced, and decorated wedding cakes. That is why I wanted to send in the Epsom News as usual this week. Tell Julia to cut up the tur- key, build a big bonfire and have a family barbecue. Uxbridge Health Care Cen- tre had their Christmas din- ner for the families of the resi- dents this week. Barbara and Ross Evans, Floyd and Grace Evans and Lynn enjoyed a bountiful feast provided. They were pleased that grandma Evans is in fairly good health.
