Students’ Yourcampus.ca
offers an alternative to
finding London housing
By Adam Feldman
Gazette Staff
A new housing website designed by
a team of Western students is up
and running, and it claims to be
more user-friendly than Western’s
Off-campus Housing search site.
Initially, Yourcampus.ca was a
marketing project, but after extensive market research, it opened to
the public earlier this month.
To expand their user base, creator Shawn Feldon and six other
Western students began providing
the service. Now that the trial period is over, landlords will be charged
$30 for a single-unit listing and $55
for a multi-unit listing.
This is higher than the $25
charge for any listing and $10 for
multi-unit listings on the Off-campus Housing website.
Yourcampus.ca
provides
accounts for users. Once users find
a property they’re interested in, you
can communicate with the landlord and discuss times to see the
property.
Renters can break down their
search through filters at the top of
the page. Students can choose a
lease type, for example, of one-year,
eight-month or four-month.
Other filters let you search by
rent, furnished houses, parking
availability and air conditioning.
Roughly 30 listings are currently
on display but the creators say the
number is growing.
“Before summer, we hope to
have detailed student classified listings [where] students can buy and
sell furniture or used textbooks,”
Feldon said. “Hopefully we’re
adding a lot of value to the student
off-campus search program.”
Western’s website changed its
layout in early January and will
announce more improvements in
June.
“We’ve learned not to give out
too much information [because
unrestrained disclosure sparked
competition]; however, I can say
that we have surveyed housing
websites across North America and
we know what to do [in terms of
upgrades],” said Glenn Matthews,
Housing Mediating Services officer.
“The university search site is not
profit-driven and all the money we
make goes back into helping students with their housing affairs,”
Matthews said.
As an example, Matthews cited
Off-Campus Advisors, a program
sponsored by proceeds from Western’s website, which employs 19
university students working on
campaigns to assist in conflict resolution with roommates or landlords.
Yourcampus.ca intends to pur-
sue an aggressive advertising
campaign, targeting students
through advertisements, booths
in the University Community
Centre, distributing flyers on campus and talking to prospective
clients at bars.
Protesters caught posing as
U of T student journalists
By Dave Ward
Gazette Staff
This week outside the Western “bubble” on campuses around the
world...
Toronto — Several students
protesting tuition fees caused a
scene at Bloor Collegiate Institute
where Chris Bentley, Ontario Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, was to make an
announcement.
According to The Globe and
Mail, demonstrators posed as student journalists to gain access to the
news conference. The demonstrators interrupted Bentley, forcing
him to cancel the announcement.
Alabama — An audit at Bishop
State Community College revealed
more than $438,000 US in financial
aid abuses.
The Birmingham News reports
the most shocking abuse involves
an employee whose 67-year-old
disabled grandmother was receiving three separate athletic scholarships. She was receiving the scholarships just months before she died.
In addition, the athletic program awarded $87,000 US in schol-
arships to relatives who didn’t play
on any varsity teams. Criminal
charges have been filed against
numerous Bishop State employees.
Illinois — The University of Illinois’ controversial mascot, Chief
Illiniwek, will be removed from
sideline action.
According to The Sun Times, the
board of trustees removed the
Chief under pressure from the
NCAA, which deemed Illiniwek
hostile and abusive. The NCAA had
barred the university from hosting
lucrative postseason championships.
Two students who portrayed the
Chief sued the school for violating
their rights to free speech and
expression for dumping the 80year-old mascot.
Ohio — Three students were
arrested while participating in a
traditional campus prank at the
College of Wooster.
The Associated Press said the
students were packing snow into a
two-story arch which leads into the
college green.
Campus security tried and failed
to disperse students. Police were
called and were pelted with snowballs. Students backed off once an
officer showed his stun gun.
Dean of Students Kurt Holmes
said it isn’t policy to stop pranks.
The university let students finish
packing the arch and blamed miscommunication for the event’s

Coverage
without action Ops editor
During an information session about a new OSAP website
at Toronto’s Bloor Collegiate Institute Feb. 5, Chris Bentley was interrupted by student demonstrators.
Bentley, Ontario’s Minister of Training, Colleges and
Universities, was forced to retreat hurriedly from the protesters and the announcement was cancelled.
The protesters gained access to the announcement by
posing as student journalists. Student activists from York,
Ryerson and the University of Toronto confronted Bentley
in the presentation intended for high school students.
It’s understandable that protesters are willing to do
what it takes to get their messages heard. Masquerading
as an employee of a student newspaper is an effective
avenue to deliver a message and get a broader range of
people talking about your grievances.
Although clearly not full-fledged professionals, student journalists still contend there is a degree of professionalism in their work. Student media have a hard
enough time being taken seriously; this kind of subterfuge
on student protesters’ part certainly doesn’t help student
journalists’ case.
It was indicated that only two of the 19 observers
signed in as members of the media were actual reporters.
If these activists can take such measures to infiltrate an
information session, perhaps the student media should
do a better job covering these events.
The fault shouldn’t necessarily fall on the shoulders of
the Toronto universities’ newspapers. But could the student media act as a better liaison between the campus
and its politicians, so this kind of embarrassment could
be avoided?
The student paper definitely has a role to play in student activism. As a media outlet for students at this institution, we at The Gazette have a responsibility to cover
student issues. Student media should decide what to
cover based on how much a given event or issue affects
and interests the student body.
However, there’s a difference between coverage and
action. It’s desirable for us to represent both sides of an
issue using words, but it’s problematic when we go further than that.
By actively participating in a student issue, a university newspaper takes a stance on it rather than reporting it
objectively. Obviously, the newspaper’s job is reporting
and not picking a side in a conflict. No one will ever be
completely happy with the depth or breadth of the coverage, but it’s still vital to do so objectively — for a student
newspaper or any other media outlet.
Regardless of how justified you felt the student activists
were in disguising themselves, an event like this gives us
pause to evaluate and recognize the role of the student
paper.

Liberal
rhetoric
Re: “A+”
Feb. 16, 2007
To the Editor:
Georgia Tanner and Stéphane Dion don’t
convince us Stephen Harper is somehow
using his powers as if he were the unilateral King of Canada.
The ideology of previous Liberal
administrations also interfered with
their impartiality when they were
appointing judicial candidates. Eight of
the justices currently serving on the
Supreme Court have been appointed by
Liberal governments and it’s naive to
believe these previous administrations
weren’t affected by their political beliefs.
Why weren’t Liberal appointments considered “completely outrageous” by the
Ontario media? Canada’s judiciary has
never been an independent body of Parliament; judges are appointed by the
prime minister, who has his own political biases.
The judicial advisory committee isn’t
as sacred as Tanner would have it seem.
Why didn’t Martin create this committee
before making two judicial appointments himself, ensuring he didn’t
“threaten this important feature of our
democratic society”? The committee
currently has zero authority to deny the
prime minister the power to appoint
anyone he deems fit. However, Harper
has actually increased its usefulness by
letting its members interview judicial
candidates — a power it didn’t have
under Martin.
We should be thankful to finally have
a government in power that creates
more checks on government through
the Accountability Act, an elected Sen-
ate and fixed election dates, instead of
criticizing trivial “issues” like this. Tanner and the Liberal-minded Ontario
media must realize the Conservatives
form the government of the day.
The fact that they’re putting their
own minds in the Supreme Court or a
committee aiding its selection is expected. The Prime Minister’s office isn’t taking advantage of its given powers. The
only difference between this appointment and those from 1993-2004 is that
it’s Conservative — a point that obviously disagrees with Tanner’s political views.

To the Editor:
Congratulations to The Gazette on this
year’s increased University Students’
Council presidential election coverage
and the creativity behind getting a
speech professor to grade the candidates’ Feb. 12 debate. The USC president
has lots of power and the ability to make
a positive change in every Western student’s life. Increasing coverage of this
year’s race better informs the electorate
in choosing a candidate that best meets
its needs. Getting speech professor Ninian Mellamphy to judge the debate was
constructive and, as the old corny saying goes, “It’s not what you say, it’s how
you say it.”

To the Editor:
I was in disbelief when Campus Recreation informed me I would NOT be able
to purchase a one-month pass to the
Cardio Annex and be reimbursed for the
week I would miss due to Reading Week.
The reimbursement I wanted wouldn’t
come in the form of money, but my
annex pass would carry over to the first
week in March. My question to Campus
Recreation is: WHY THE FUCK ISN’T
THIS POSSIBLE?
Firstly, I don’t live in London and
don’t plan on using the annex during
Reading Week. Secondly, even if Campus
Recreation thought I was trying to scam
them (which I’m not), couldn’t it simply
deactivate my student card for the duration of Reading Week? Thirdly, I’ve done
this at my local gym and it wasn’t a problem.
When I asked why this wasn’t possible, I was told “We don’t do these types of
things.” Wow! What a well-constructed
response from Campus Recreation.
Johnnie Cochrane would be proud of
that argument! Ironically, this week is
“Random Acts of Kindness Week.” I
guess Campus Recreation didn’t get the

Re: “Indie hip-hop is the industry’s
lifesaver”
Feb. 20, 2007
To the Editor:
In the article “Indie hip-hop is the
industry’s lifesaver,” the author
proclaims Tupac, Biggie, KRS-One
and Big L the fathers of gangster
rap. This is a deceiving and nauseating statement, and a fabricated
lie to The Gazette’s devout readers;
it doesn’t pay homage to the real
fathers of gangster rap.
Schooly D, Ice-T, EPMD, Kool G
Rap, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, MC
Ren and DJ Yella are only a few of
gangster rap’s originators. LL Cool J
was the first rapper to use the word
“gangster” in a song. Groups like
N.W.A. were extremely political
before Bush took office and one
very popular song comes to mind:
“Fuck tha Police.”
I agree Talib Kweli is a sociopolitical rapper who has been around
forever, but he’s unmistakably a
mainstream artist. Kweli’s single
“Move Something” hit no. 1 on the
U.S. Billboard rap chart in 2000,
and his new song “Listen” is featured on the NBA Live 2007 soundtrack.
Hip-hop is dead. It’s dead
because you don’t do your homework on it. It’s dead because hiphop listeners think B.I.G. and Pac
founded hip-hop. It’s dead because
of “Chicken Noodle Soup” and
“Chain Hang Low.”
Although I’m a proud listener of
hip-hop, these are the facts. Do
yourself a favour and buy CDs like
Ready to Die, The Chronic, Straight
Outta Compton, Reasonable
Doubt, All Eyes On Me, Illmatic,
Doggystyle, The Low End Theory —
the list goes on.
Rest in peace hip-hop, 19702007.

Undeclared I
To the Editor:
This is directed to the Western students whose parents either
neglected to teach them what
humans do with their garbage or
have simply forgotten how NOT to
act like slobs.
I walk into Centrespot at any
given time of day and I’m disgusted
at the random litter people leave
everywhere despite the abundance
of garbage cans. As I sit here today,
there is a Manchu Wok container
and a smoothie cup not even two
feet from a garbage can! How hard
is it to walk to the garbage and put
your waste in!?
Also, I’m sick of having to play
waitress and clean off a table for
myself because the lazy bastards
who drop food everywhere feel
that, since food missed their
mouths and landed on the table,
chair or floor, it should stay there.
It’s not only a matter of personal pride, but campus pride. Campus tours are going on and
prospective students come to eat in
the University Community Centre.
How gross is it that they have to sit
in filth? How unimpressed are parents when garbage is strewn across
Centrespot because Western’s
esteemed student body doesn’t
have the sense or manners to clean
up after itself?
And one last point. Again, while
sitting here angrily scribbling my
thoughts, a woman did a marginally good thing and put her Evian
bottle into the garbage. Why couldn’t she walk the extra 10 feet and
put it in the recycling bin? EVEN
EASIER than walking 10 feet and
putting the bottle in the recycling
would have been stowing the bottle
in her giant Lululemon bag and
recycling it when she arrived to any
campus classroom or her Blue Box
at home.
Are we THAT lazy? Seeing as
most of us come from the GTA and
we’ve recycled since we were little,
how could we have FORGOTTEN
what it means to recycle? Are our
brains being stuffed too full of
worldly, scholarly knowledge? I
doubt it.
It’s unfair to our peers, our university, Centrespot staff and, most
importantly, ourselves to leave the
UCC so messy every day.
I am absolutely appalled.
Apparently, higher education does
nothing to help us act like decent
human beings.

Soundclash’s Jay Malinowski
doesn’t mind.
“It opened us up to a massive
audience that we never really had
access to before,” says Malinowski, the band’s lead vocalist and
guitarist. “Sure, there are people
who only know us by that song
and might write us off for it, but I
don’t see its success as a negative
thing.
“It’s weird hearing yourself on
JackFM or those kind of stations
though.”
Bedouin Soundclash formed in
2001 at Queen’s University. The
band’s 2004 album, Sounding a
Mosaic, skyrocketed it into the
mainstream. The band just finished recording its latest disc in
Woodstock, New York.
“Woodstock is a strange town,”
Malinowski says. “Actually, it’s
pretty unique. There are all these
artists and musicians hanging
around from old bands, or just
doing their own thing.
“We really just went into the
studio for two weeks and got it all
done. I had written most of the
songs beforehand, so it was easy
to just go in there and start recording right away.
“Locking yourself away for two
weeks can be really effective
because there are no distractions;
everyone is focused solely on the
record [and] there aren’t any other
projects getting in the way.”
The new album is influenced
by several musical styles.
“I’m always listening to a lot of
different music, but I really got
into gospel music and sort of
‘country-reggae’ for this record,”
Malinowski says. “I was really
inspired by [gospel music]. There
are a lot of beautiful harmonies
and passion behind the music
itself.
“There is a lot of hollowness in
modern music these days. There’s
something real about singing
about your god or singing to whatever gods people believe in.”
Malinowski says the gospel
influence won’t turn Bedouin
Soundclash into a Christian-rock
band.
“I’m a pretty secular person,
and so are most of my friends,” he
says. “I’ve never really been religious. It’s more in the attitude the
music takes.
“The lyrics I wrote for this
album are more like street gospels
— everyday things people realize
while just walking around the
city.”
Malinowski isn’t worried about
how the band’s musical growth
will be received.
“I’ve got no concept of what
[listeners] expect. As a band, we
never want to record the same
song twice, and I think we avoided
that on the new album.”
Malinowski, who studied fine
arts, created the album’s artwork.
“It’s just part of the whole package for me,” he says. “Doing the
artwork is a part of the whole
process. I’ve always been doing
art, ever since we started the band
in first-year [university]. I want
the art to reflect on what we’re
doing with the music.”
The band is starting its own
label this year.
“We’ve wanted to do this for a
while,” Malinowski says. “It allows
us to gain some more control over
what we’re doing. The label is
called Pirate’s Blend. We will be
putting out stuff from Vernon
Maytones and releasing a Bad
Brains/Bedouin
Soundclash
mash-up as well.”

Minimalist rock band goes organic on new album
By Maggie McCutcheon
Gazette Staff
Toronto is a hotbed for good
bands. However, many remain
shrouded in obscurity — including the mostly instrumental
ensemble Do Make Say Think.
Despite its large fan base and
critical acclaim, the band keeps a
low profile.
“Most of the ways to have a
high profile are kind of embarrassing,” says Charles Spearin, Do
Make Say Think’s bassist and
trumpetist. “I think the whole
idea of hype and the whole idea of
jumping up and down trying to
get attention is a little bit beside
the point.”
The band has a laissez-faire
attitude towards publicity.
“There is a continual sense of
a natural growth to the band,”
Spearin says. “To sort of jump in
and start saying we’re the next big
thing and everybody should pay
attention to us feels kind of artificial.
“Word of mouth is by far the
best way to promote your band
because if you’re actually making
good music, then people talk
about it.
“Nobody’s out shopping our
music, [but] I think like-minded
people worked their way to us. If
that continues to happen, then
we’ll welcome it with open
arms.”
On its latest release, You,You’re
A History In Rust, Do Make Say
Think took a new musical
approach that has had people

buzzing since the album leaked
online in December.
“We stayed away from the old
analog synthesizers and tried to
get a more natural, organic
sound, but still spacious,”
Spearin says. “There are still
some playful aspects in the
recording of it — in that we put

the drums through guitar amplifiers and things like that. To see if
we can pull out some more
brown colours in it. We’re quite
proud of [the result].”
While You, You’re A History In
Rust wasn’t meant to be a concept album, Spearin says it
became one during the recording
process.
“It was more a sense of what
the music was saying to us as we
went along,” he says. “There are
different elements you hear as
you’re going and it’s not necessarily by design. It wasn’t like Pink
Floyd’s The Wall or anything.”
Decay and forgetfulness are
important themes throughout the
album.
“There was a kind of rusty texture to this recording,” Spearin
says. “There was a sense of find-
ing beauty in decay, in dirt — that
kind of came out in the music.
“[We] brought ourselves to
think about the process of decay,
the process of things disappearing gradually and unnoticed.”
While these themes are slightly melancholic, Spearin says the
album isn’t depressing.
“It’s sort of bittersweet, I guess,
and the music never strays too far
into self-indulgent misery, but at
the same time, it’s not too saccha-
rine and sweet. I think it’s kind of
realistic.”
Do Make Say Think’s spatial
rock has been featured in movies
like Syriana and The Corporation.
Spearin says he would love to
score a film some day.
“I’ve done some film work,
scoring films with Broken Social
Scene, and really enjoyed it,” he
says. “I think [Do Make Say Think]
as a band would be great at scoring a film. So you know it’s quite
possible, if [the opportunity]
comes along, that we’ll take it.”
The band looks forward to premiering You, You’re A History In
Rust onstage tonight.
“We’ve been working on all
these new songs that sound really
good but we’ve never played them
live.”

How to avoid living in a van down by the river
Don’t get caught in ‘feeding frenzy’:
How to stay alert and stay safe:
comparison-shop for student housing a few tips for renting in London
By Lauren Pelley
Gazette Writer
Flooded basements, rodent infestations,
caved-in ceilings, belligerent landlords —
Glenn Matthews has heard it all.
Matthews, a Housing Mediation Services
officer who handled students housing problems for years, shared his knowledge with
The Gazette to help students avoid common
housing problems.
Matthews recommended completing
thorough research before looking at houses
or apartments. He said students often skip
this step and dive right into the housing
hunt.
“Students get caught up in the feeding
frenzy,” Matthews said. However, he says
there is no need to rush, as London’s 4.2 per
cent vacancy rate is one of the highest in
Ontario.
The Housing Mediation office in Room
102 of Elgin Hall provides numerous
brochures and checklists. In particular,
Matthews encouraged students to review the
“Renting in London” booklet, which contains
detailed information on bylaws and leases.
Matthews recommended investigating at
least five places before signing a lease.
“Students tend to take the first or second
place they look at,” he said. “Yet [they] won’t
buy the first stereo or iPod they see…they
comparison-shop.”
Matthews emphasized personal safety. He
said students should ensure a house has adequate external lighting, proper locks and
working fire alarms and should check for
signs of leakage and flooding.
He encouraged students to prepare questions for the landlord before viewing a location. He also suggested speaking with the
current tenants.
“Most student tenants won’t steer other
students wrong,” Matthews said.
When speaking with tenants, students
should discuss what the landlord is willing to
do, such as shoveling snow or cutting grass.
Matthews also recommends asking about
utility costs and any problems the tenants
had with the landlord or the building.
Matthews said landlords are more likely
to bend the truth when faced with these
questions.
“I equate it to a used-car salesman,”
Matthews said. “There are some landlords
out there who will say anything to get a name
on a lease.”
Matthews said the incentives offered by
landlords mean nothing unless they’re in
writing, adding even something as simple as
a lock change should be written into the contract.
Matthews recalled an incident in which a
landlord never bothered changing the locks
and friends of the previous tenants walked in
on the new tenants without warning.
In addition to a written contract with the
landlord, Matthews urged students to sign a
roommate agreement.
“A roommate agreement gets things out
on the table,” he said. Although it’s not legally binding, it forces all roommates to set
ground rules, which can help resolve future
disagreements.
Matthews advised investigating future
roommates as much as the residence itself.
Roommates should have similar standards in
terms of cleanliness and be willing to share
responsibilities and payments.
“Best friends don’t always make the best
roommates,” Matthews said. “Baggage
comes along with every individual.”
Though it may seem like everyone is signing a lease, most residences become available after March 1 — when the former tenants give their 60 days notice.
“[Students] will be able to find places up
until they leave,” Matthews said.
By Casey Chouinard
Gazette Writer
Many students only consider rent and location when looking for rental housing, but
there are also lots of legal issues to examine.
The most important law concerning tenant safety is the requirement that landlords
provide working smoke alarms.
Dan Olderidge, London Fire Services
deputy fire chief, and Dianne Lebold, a fire
prevention inspector, both stress smoke
alarms’ importance.
Every Ontario home must have a smoke
alarm on every floor and outside every sleeping area. Smoke alarms must be installed
within 12 inches of the ceiling.
Landlords failing to install a smoke alarm
and provide maintenance instructions to
tenants can be fined $230. Tenants can be
fined for intentionally disabling smoke
alarms.
Lebold says within two minutes of a fire,
smoke can become so thick and black it limits visibility. She adds this smoke can be
lethal.
Apartments must have proper fire exits.
When looking at apartments, ensure all fire
exits, sprinkler and standpipe connections
are unobstructed and clearly marked. The
building’s fire emergency procedures should
also be prominent on every floor.
Olderidge and Lebold also advise looking
for automatically closing fire-separation
doors between corridors and stairwells, as
they prevent smoke from spreading.
Basement apartments in houses pose
numerous problems, says Orest Katolyk,
London’s bylaw enforcement manager.
“I’ve been in rental properties where
there’s people liv-
HOUSE-HUNTING CHECKLIST
1. Research — Information can be
found at the Housing Mediation Office
(Room 102 in Elgin Hall)
2. Comparison shop — Investigate at
least five places
3. Speak to current tenants — They’ll
give you the whole story
ing in basements with no windows, the ceiling heights aren’t adequate, they don’t have
a proper escape plan and they don’t have
smoke detectors,” Katolyk says.
Olderidge and Lebold recommend making sure someone can fit through a bedroom
window before signing a lease.
Ensuring hot water, heat and electricity
are properly provided is also important.
Katolyk says Ontario’s health code stipulates every apartment must have sanitary
facilities and drinkable water.
Mould is a potentially deadly health code
issue. If students see mould while looking at
an apartment, they shouldn’t sign a lease. If
mould is found after signing a lease, student
should contact the London and Middlesex
Health Authority.
It’s equally important to consider the visibility of house numbers. If tenants have
trouble seeing them from the street, so will
emergency responders.
Also, Katolyk says new legislation for
dwelling units limits the number of bedrooms to five. More than five results in problems with parking and garbage build-up, he
adds.
Katolyk says London City Council recently proposed licensing rental units. This proposal suggests rental properties must pass an
inspection before they are rented.
In the meantime, students must conduct
their own inspections, so be thorough.
4. Inspect — Make sure the place is
safe, free from water damage, and in a
good location
5. Have everything in writing — Landlords’ verbal promises are useless; read
the lease thoroughly and also write a
roommate agreement

HER FREE SKATE IS BOTH GREAT AND INNATE. Danielle Brick showed incredible skill to win this week’s Purple Pipe. Our caption writers’ rhyming abilities didn’t showcase any skill whatsoever.
Figure skater Danielle Brick wrests Pipe
There must be something in the “frog water”
By Stephanie Ramsay
Gazette Staff
Every week, Gazette Sports
awards the Purple Pipe to a standout Mustang athlete to honour
their contribution to Western athletics. This week, figure skater
Danielle Brick receives the Pipe
after winning the gold medal in
the short program free skate at
last weekend’s Ontario University
Athletics championships.
Brick, in her first year at Western after transferring from Ryerson, was also awarded figure skating team’s MVP at the OUA banquet last Thursday night. The
Plattsville, Ontario native sat
down with The Gazette to discuss
dance, drinks and double-flips.
When did you start figure
skating and why?
I was two years old and my
mom is a skating coach, so I just
saw all her skaters skating and
wanted to do it as well.
Any judging controversies in
OUA figure skating?
Not so much in the free skate,
since it’s a little bit easier to judge.
Sometimes in the dance events
there can be some controversy,
but I don’t dance.
Would you rather go to the
Olympics or skate professionally?
I think I’d rather skate professionally. There’s just not as much
pressure and it’s fun.
What’s your favourite jump to
perform?
A double-flip, just because it’s
the jump that came easiest to me,
so I’m more comfortable doing
that jump, I guess.
Have you ever had any interesting injuries?
Yes, I had compartment syndrome in my right leg. It’s where
the muscle in the front of your leg
is in a casing and it’s not supposed to grow larger than the casing, but I was overusing it, so I
had to have surgery. I was off skating for a good two months.
How do you prepare before
going on the ice?
I just warm up and go through
my routine — relax. There’s nothing I have to do.
What is your favourite sum-
mer sport?
Does dance count?
Who are your favourite professional athletes?
I like Jamie Salé and David Pelletier, and Scott Moir and Tessa
Virtue. Scott Moir is my coach’s
son.
What is your favourite drink
at the bar?
Frog water. It’s vodka, water
and bar lime.
How many pairs of skates do
you go through in a season?
Just one. A season isn’t even
quite a year. I’ve had the same
pair of skates for the last two seasons. I get my skates sharpened a
lot, so I had to get new blades this
season.
NFL free agent Dominic Rhodes
was arrested Tuesday and
charged with impaired driving. In
doing so, he guaranteed himself
a job for the 2007-2008 NFL season, as the Cincinnati Bengals
will undoubtedly pursue him in
hopes of maintaining the team’s
culture of trouble with the law.
Rhodes has previously been
charged with domestic battery, so
the Bengals know they’d be getting a proven performer along the
lines of Chris Henry, or any of the
other nine Bengals arrested in the
last 14 months.
The San Diego Chargers have
hired a new coach. Only a week
after Marty Schottenheimer’s firing, Norv Turner has been hired,
presumably because he’ll massage general manager A.J. Smith’s
ego. Given Turner’s previous track
record as a head coach — he has
an overall record of 58-82-1 — it
seems the Chargers will continue
choking come playoff time.
Tom Brady’s ex-flame, Bridget
Moynahan, has announced she’s
pregnant with his baby. Brady’s
actions — along with Matt
Leinart’s recent announcement
of his own impending fatherhood
— have shattered NFL stereotypes. Even the league’s golden
boys are littering children around
the league.
Derek Jeter refuses to
acknowledge he and Alex
Rodriguez have an off-field
friendship.
On
Monday,
Rodriguez told the press his and
Jeter’s relationship had cooled.
Jeter responded by saying, “What
we do away from the field, how
much time we spend together,
really makes no difference when
we’re playing.” Just goes to show
how much of a team sport baseball is.
The NBA All-Star Weekend
was held in Las Vegas this year, to
the detriment of the game itself.
The weekend of hard partying did
nothing to help the quality of
play. The dunk contest was the
highlight of the weekend. Gerald
Green’s win was the highlight of
the season for the Celtics, who
have lost 18 of 19 games.
Former champ Nate Robinson
again showed short-guy dunks
look great but occur once in a
blue moon. The weekend provided Vegas vacationers with something to do besides blowing their
children’s trust funds.
Men’s hockey team
re-commits to hard work
Squad gets focused for the quarter-final
By Matt Zerker
Gazette Staff
* Game One of the Ontario University Athletics quarter-final was last
night but hadn’t finished by press
time. The following interviews were
conducted before the game.
The Mustangs men’s hockey
team got a serious scare last weekend from the Brock Badgers, who
pushed the ’Stangs to the brink of
elimination in a tight openinground matchup.
After a first-round bye, the
Waterloo Warriors will host a battered and bruised Mustang squad
that lost all four of the two teams’
meetings with erratic effort,
according to Western head coach
Clarke Singer.
“We’ve played a good 40 or 50
minutes, but we’ve yet to have
played a good 60-minute stretch
against them,” Singer said. “[The
Warriors] are going to play the
same in the first five minutes as the
last five minutes and we have to
match that consistency against
them.”
The men’s squad has struggled
scoring goals this postseason, especially on the power play, which has
looked anemic at best.
“I think special teams are going
to be really important,” Singer said.
“Waterloo has got a great penalty
kill with [goalie Curtis Darling] back
there. We only scored one powerplay goal in three games against
Brock, and that’s not good enough
if we want to win this next series.”
A hard-nosed Western squad
has to bear down on the road,
where it struggled with discipline
against Brock. The team took four
penalties in the third period of the
Game Two loss.
The Mustangs battled these
mistakes early in the season, blowing two late leads against Waterloo.
“We can’t sit back against them,”
said captain Craig Kennedy. “I think
this year that when we sat back, we
got in trouble, so we have to just
keep pushing the pedal forward
and keep the pressure on.”
All four lines have to click — all
three playoff games thus far have
been one-goal games, which suits
the team’s current incarnation.
“I think that we’re a team that’s
a little different than the types of
teams we have had in the past,”
Singer said. “We’re built more
around a grit and tenacity which
fits a one-goal style of hockey game
— a little more close-checking.”
Wingers Sal Peralta and Kevin
Richardson netted their first goals
of the playoffs Sunday night; the
two were absent from the scoresheet in the first two games of the
Brock series and their emergence
could bring Western over the hump.
“I’m happy to get the monkey
off my back,” Peralta said. “We
weren’t too concerned. If we just
play hard every game in the playoffs, we should be fine against
Waterloo.”
