      equality
      between

      2004
      started
      off
      with
      bang
      at
     
     
      UPEL,
      with
      threats
      ofa
      Faculty
      Strike
     
     
      hanging
      over
      students
      heads.
      However,
     
     
      the
      University
      and
      Faculty
      Association

      were

      signed
      without
     
    
   
   
    
     
      a
      strike
      or
      a
      disruption
      in
      classes,
      but
     
     
      looking
      ahead
      to
      the
      future,
      the
      contract
     
     
      expires
      later
      this
      year
      and
      the
      turmoil
     
     
      could
      possibly
      return
      in
      September.
     
     
      Early
      in
      the
      year,
      the
      CARI
      complex
     
     
      opened,
      and
      the
      hockey
      Panthers
     
     
      played
      on
      Campus
      at
      the
      new
     
     
      MacLauchlan
      Arena
      after
      spending
     
     
      over
      a
      decade
      in
      the
      Civic
      Center.
      The
     
     
      CARI
      complex,
      although
      badly
      needed,
     
     
      has
      had
      problems,
      as
      construction
      ran
     
     
      late
      and
      over
      budget,
      gobbling
      up
      funds
     
     
      that
      could
      have
      been
      spent
      by
      the
      city
     
     
      on
      other
      much
      needed
      programs,
      like
     
     
      the
      promised
      public
      transit
      system
      that
     
     
      has
      not
      been
      delivered
      by
      Mayor
     
     
      Clifford
      Lee.
     
    

    
     
      On
      the
      topic
      of
      Construction,
     
     
      2004
      was
      the
      year
      of
      the
      start
      of
      a
     
     
      rebirth
      of
      UPEI
      facilities,
      as
     
     
      construction
      of
      research
      centers,
      new
     
     
      dorms,
      and
      long
      needed
      improvements
     
     
      to
      the
      Duffy
      Building
      began
      and
      will
     
     
      continue
      over
      the
      next
      several
      years.
     
     
      The
      fall
      was
      not
      just
      about
      construction
     
     
      on
      campus.
      The
      autumn
      was
      one
      to
     
     
      remember
      for
      the
      UPEI
      women’s
     
     
      soccer
      team,
      which
      put
      memories
      of
     
     
      tough
      seasons
      behind
      them,
      coming
      out
     
     
      of
      nowhere
      to
      have
      a
      tremendous
     
     
      season
      and
      they
      finished
      it
      off
      by
     
     
      winning
      the
      AUS
      title,
      upsetting
     
     
      Dalhousie
      in
      the
      final
      match.
     
    

    
     
      In
      local
      war
      history,
      2004
      was
     
     
      the
      year
      of
      the
      Battle
      against
     
     
      Bootleggers,
      led
      by
      Charlottetown
      City
     
    
   
   
    
     
      passed

      Council.
      After
      increasing
      police
      raids
     
     
      and
      creating
      a
      stir
      in
      the
      media,
      the
     
     
      battle
      looked
      lost
      for
      city
      council
      as
      the
     
     
      bootleggers
      proved
      resourceful,
      as
      their
     
     
      supporters
      overwhelmed
      public
     
     
      meetings
      wearing
      shirts
      boasting
      their
     
     
      support
      of
      bootlegging.
      However,
      by
     
     
      the
      end
      of
      the
      year,
      city
      councillors
     
     
      appeared
      to
      be
     
     
      victorious
      after
     
     
      forging
      analliance
     
     
      with
      the
      provincial
     
     
      government
      which
     
    
   
   
    
     
      anti-bootlegging
     
     
      legislation.
      Many
     
     
      bootleggers
      have
     
     
      gone
      public
      in
     
     
      announcing
      their
      surrender,
      while
      at
      the
     
     
      same
      time
      casting
      government
      as
      the
     
     
      bad
      guys
      by
      claiming
      the
      casualties
      of
     
     
      this
      war
      will
      be
      the
      elderly
      and
      the
      poor.

      except
     
     
      maybe
      the
      coming
      spring
      thanks
      to
      the
     
     
      NHL
      lockout,
      can
      be
      counted

      the

      Stanley
     
     
      Cup
      glory.
      According
      to
      the
      Island
     
     
      media,
      that
      was
      the
      only
      story
      of
      the
     
     
      playoffs,
      but
      they
      have
      ignored
      the
     
     
      reason
      the
      playoffs
     
     
      were
      special
      for
     
     
      many
      Islanders
      and
     
     
      for
      the
      rest
      of
      the
     
     
      country.
      For
      the
     
     
      first
      time
      in
      10
      years,
     
     
      there
      was
      finally
      a
     
     
      team
      representing
     
     
      Canada
      in
      the
      big
     
     
      show,
      and
      the
      most
     
     
      unlikely
      team
      to
      boot,
      composed
      of
     
     
      perhaps
      the
      most
      gritty,
      hardworking
     
     
      players
      in
      hockey
      who
      played
      their
     
     
      hearts
      out
      and
      won
      the
      hearts
      of
      the
     
     
      country
      as
      the
      Calgary
      Flames
      marched
     
     
      over
      heavily
      favored
      opponents
      to
      the
     
     
      Stanley
      Cup
      Final.
      However,
      there
      was
     
     
      one
      thing
      the
      power
      of
      Red
      Mile
      could
     
     
      not
      stand
      up
      to...
      some
      argue
      it
      was
      the
     
     
      Lightning
      while
      others
      believe
      it
      was
      the
     
     
      flaming
      red
      hair
      of
      referee
      Kerry
      Fraser.
