St. Patrick’s Day is quicklyapproaching, and images of a riotthat emerged last March 17 onFleming Drive near FanshaweCollege are fresh in the minds ofmany Londoners. Participants threwbeer bottles at police officers, fuelleda massive fire with furniture, and seta CTV News van on fire that eventu-ally sent explosions into the sky.

Hundreds of people attended themassive gathering, and 175 criminalcharges were laid against 68 sus-pects. The riot cost London taxpay-ers $500,000 for damaged propertyand the police investigation.

No one can say for sure how thisyear’s Irish celebration will play out,but it’s certain that London’s PoliceService is ready for whatever comestheir way.

“Suffice to say, you will see lots ofofficers on patrol, lots of officers onthe street, lots of officers in the areaof Fleming,” said Police Chief BradDuncan.

London’s Nuisance Bylaw, enact-ed in May 2012 as a result of lastyear’s Fleming Drive incident, will

allow police officers to crack downon large, unruly gatherings.According to the bylaw, a “NuisanceParty” can be defined as participantsengaging in disorderly conduct, pub-lic intoxication, damage or destruc-tion of property, public brawls orfights, unreasonable noise, unlawfulopen burning and fireworks.

Driveway flip-cup tournamentsand large street parties may not be acommon sight this St. Paddy’s Day.

“We will not allow the accumula-tion of people that has happened inthe past on front lawns, drivewaysand sidewalks,” confirmed Duncan.“We are not going to allow personswalking on streets and sidewalks –take the party inside … Just becauseyou occupy a residence doesn’t giveyou the right to engage in activity onthe outside of your residence thatdisrupts the rest of your neighbours.”

For many students, St Patrick’sDay means pub crawls, pancake keg-gers and house parties. There’s noreason why you can’t enjoy theseannual festivities, but there are waysto stay safe and avoid getting intotrouble with the law.

“First of all, when you’re dealing

with keg parties, usually there’ssome sort of entrance fee or cost –that’s illegal under the LiquorLicence Act. We will go in and dis-rupt keg parties, we’ll seize all of theliquor, and the fines are significant,”said Duncan.

According to Fanshawe andWestern University’s housing medi-ator Glenn Matthews, one of thebiggest party problems can beunwanted houseguests. “If you lookat what happened last year onFleming, two-thirds of the peoplewho were charged were non-stu-dents … People are a little bit unas-suming when there are parties goingon and people are coming into theirhouses. They have no idea who theyare or what they may do in the wayof theft or damage.”

Matthews wanted students to beaware that the consequences ofunlawful behaviour can result in dis-ciplinary action taken by the schoolthey attend. “We’re trying to makestudents aware that of the 26 studentswho were charged last year fromFanshawe, all 26 went through somekind of code of conduct discipline atschool.”

Some students were expelled oth-ers were given behavioural con-tracts.

“It’s not meant as a threat, we’rejust saying, ‘Look, don’t put yourselfin that position.’ We know at leastone individual was a PoliceFoundations student that wascharged, and basically they willnever work in that field.”

Matthews said that efforts arebeing made to inform students of theconcerns that both Fanshawe andWestern have about the upcomingholiday. Fanshawe’s Student Union,for example, is going door-to-door inthe Fleming Drive area to talk about

responsible partying. “We have prepared a bylaw

flyer/handout and we’re going to begoing door to door through Fleming,through Thurman, throughProsperity, connecting with as manystudents as we can,” said StudentUnion President Zack Dodge. “Thatface-to-face time traditionally doesmake a difference,” he added.

Dodge and Fanshawe PresidentDr. Howard Rundle will also bepreparing a memo that will be sent toevery student at Fanshawe. “It’s a bitof a reminder and a heads up of whathappened last March, the progressand repercussions of what has comefrom that, and what we’re lookingforward to with St. Patrick’s Dayapproaching,” said Dodge.

Last year, St. Patrick’s Day fell ona Saturday that had abnormally hightemperatures for March. This year’sholiday falls on a Sunday and theweather… well… isn’t looking sohot.

What might add pressure to theannual festivities are the 35,000 visi-tors expected to be in the city for theISU World Figure SkatingChampionships. The champi-onships’ closing Gala Exhibition andfinal celebrations will be held onMarch 17.

Duncan estimated that there willbe in excess of 100 media outletshere from March 11 to 17, so it’s nodoubt the city will be under closewatch.

Dodge warned those who areplanning to party on Fleming Driveto be mindful of the added attentionthat will be placed on the area. “Youare absolutely under a microscope,this is not by choice at this point …when you make international news,you can rest assured that the commu-nity is going have the sharpest eye onevery little movement.

“Cops will be out there, they knowwhat they’re looking for, don’t givethem anything to look at.”

What is “ForFanshawe?”I can’t overstate theimpact that FanshaweCollege has had forme. I came into col-lege as a mature stu-dent, unsure of how itwould be here. It wasan unknown to me.

That quickly changed, and it soon became mynew home. “For Fanshawe” means continuingto provide the student infrastructure that makesstudents feel like they belong here.In September 2011 I had the privilege to bechosen to go to Washington DC to support ateam of New Zealanders competing in the USSolar Decathlon. This experience gave me theopportunity to represent Fanshawe College in asmall, but very interesting way. Through thiswe were able to support the third place team ina worldwide competition. “For Fanshawe”means ensuring that opportunities are there toshow that we are getting a world class educa-tion.In my first semester of the Civil Engineeringprogram, I was elected to be the class repre-sentative by my classmates. Since then, I havebeen involved in student government in oneform or another, serving as SAC representativefor Building Technology in 2011-2012 year.This helped me develop leadership skills. Thatopportunity started a chain of events that con-tributed to me asking for your vote as FSUPresident in this election. “For Fanshawe”means that I will continue striving to build astrong class representative system so that wecan build solid future leaders for a strong com-munity, and for a vibrant student union.Jason King.

On March 1, over 500Londoners gathered at the 13thAnnual International Women’sDay Breakfast and Auction held bythe London Abused Women’sCentre.

The morning featured an elabo-rate breakfast buffet, a live andsilent auction, and speeches by for-mer Liberal MPP Chris Bentley,CTV’s Sean Irvine, and LondonAbused Women’s Centre execu-tive director Megan Walker.

The event brought together avariety of community partnersworking together to raise money toend women’s abuse.

“What’s really interesting withthis crowd is it’s from many areasof our community: business, socialservices, law enforcement. We allhave the express purpose to makesure that we protect our communi-

ty,” said Police Chief and attendeeBrad Duncan.

Many local politicians attendedthe event to show their support.London-Fanshawe MP IreneMathyssen has attended the eventfor eight years. She said the causeis important “because it shines thelight on the reality that, despite 50years of feminism, there are stillwomen who suffer, and that vio-lence is still a reality for four out of10 women. We can’t progress as acommunity or as a society untilwe’ve ended that violence againstwomen.”

Local sports icons were alsothere showing their support.London Lightning point guardDeAnthony Bowden and forwardElvin Mims stood on stage to helppromote one of the live auctionprizes that included tickets toToronto Raptors and LondonLightning games.

It’s obvious that it is no longerjust women coming together forthis cause.

Megan Walker was pleased tosee so many men at this year’sevent. “We definitely had 50/50with respect to men and womentoday, and that’s increased everyyear. We’ve always said we reallyneed men to step up and help us inending violence against women,and they’ve certainly done that –it’s been really exciting to see.”

Felipe Gomes, owner of AromaMediterranean Restaurant, hasbeen attending the event for sever-al years. “A number of years ago,there was only a few of us men outhere … That’s good that men arelooking and seeing the need to bepart of this. It’s not just a women’sthing – it’s our thing,” he stressed.

Fanshawe student Saida Sayd’sfamily has been cooking fordecades.

“My mom is a chef, her sister isa chef, her great-grandmother wasa chef. For the longest time I want-ed to be a lawyer, but I was drawnback – it’s in my blood and it justhappened and I love it,” she said.

When Sayd’s CulinaryApprentice teachers mentionedFanshawe’s first-ever Iron Chefcompetition, she jumped on boardwith seven of her classmates. Eachstudent was paired with a cheffrom a local restaurant.

“I was like, ‘I’m just going to gofor it,’” she said. And it’s a goodthing she did.

Sayd won the competition withRobert Stewart from London’sPetit Paris Creperie & Patisserie.

Each team was required to createa soup or salad, as well as an appe-tizer and entrée. They had 30 min-utes to come up with a menu planusing the available pantry items.

This created one of the biggestchallenges. “Coming up with dish-es on the fly, they’ve really onlyhad about half an hour to think

about their ingredients and what’savailable to them and now they’vegotta create recipes from theirhead, be able to cook and go on thefly – so no organization, no pre-prep,” said Traci Jones, programcoordinator in Fanshawe’s Schoolof Tourism and Hospitality.

They also had to incorporate thesecret ingredient, Dead ElephantAle (from Railway City Brewingin St. Thomas), into each of theirdishes.

Using the secret ingredient cre-atively is what Sayd believes sether team apart from the competi-tion. “We incorporated the secretingredient the best, we showcasedthe beer instead of masking it; itwas extremely bitter beer. It’s real-ly hard to make it palatable, some-thing that’s very harsh.”

Their creations consisted of acompound salad with sous-videegg and beer dressing, a beer-mar-inated fried perch appetizer withvegetables and a side of greens,and for the main course a chickendish. “We pounded out chickenand took some of it and threw it inthe food processor and added somecream and spices, and then werolled it and sous-vide it and then

seared the outside. We butterpoached the potatoes and cookedup some vegetables with that andmade celery purée with beer andmushroom reduction.”

The judges awarded points forcreativity, and looked closely attheir technique, watching for profi-ciency in knife skills, cooking,carving, glazing and safe handling.

Jones is also on the executivecouncil for The CanadianAssociation of FoodserviceProfessionals, who partnered theevent, and was happy to help con-nect students with local chefs. “It’sa great experience for the studentsbecause they get to network withprofessionals who are actuallyworking in the industry. They’realso taking direction from andlearning teamwork; the two ofthem didn’t know each otherbefore – now the chef has to comein, the student has to come in andthey have to build a relationship.”

For Sayd, the best part wasworking with Chef Stewart. “He isextremely organized and he’s thebiggest sweetheart ever ... There’sno better way to get experiencethan to work with someone whohas a lot of it and can teach you

something,” she exclaimed.Being half Russian and half

Afghani, Sayd has been exposed tomany different types of cuisines,and she never stops exploring. “Itry to travel within Canada as

much as I can. I’ve been toVancouver, Montreal, and all overOntario, just going to differentrestaurants and seeing plates andhow much works goes into it, andit’s just amazing.”

Unity of London is a spiritual,New Thought community. “We’reChristian, we follow the teachingsof Jesus, and we see Jesus as ourWay Show-er,” explained Unity’sRev. Lori Hisson.

“Unity is quite open-minded,and we know that there is truth ineverything. We have an open mindto education, to learning aboutwhat others are doing.”

On March 13 at 7:30 p.m.,author Robert Schwartz will cometo town to discuss his book, YourSoul’s Plan. Schwartz is known forhis work as a past life soul regres-sion therapist and between livessoul regression therapist. He willdiscuss spiritual growth and themeaning of life.

“He’s got a great perspective.Some people are going to think it’s

way out there, and (for) others, itwill resonate with them,” saidHisson. “It’ll open us all up toanother way of seeing things.”

On March 17 at 12:30 p.m.,Gabriella Puschel will host a work-shop entitled Getting Your VoiceBack, which is focused on self-empowerment.

“It just seemed to me that a lot oftimes, we don’t use our voice.We’re very polite Canadians andso we don’t always speak what’s inour heart or on our mind … withlove, we should share what’simportant to us,” said Hisson. Thisworkshop will show attendees theimportance of speaking aboutwhat’s on their mind, finding theirvoice and knowing that peopledon’t have to agree with what theysay, but they do need to listen.“She’s talking about learning waysto express yourself confidently anddiscover your voice.”

There is a fee for each event: forSchwartz’s presentation, Unity is

asking for a $10 love offering, andfor Puschel’s workshop, Unity isasking for $20. “We never turnanyone away because of finances,”added Hisson, and attendees whocannot afford those prices areasked to give what they can.

“As I’ve often said to my con-gregation, ‘If I had just knownsome of the spiritual wisdom whenI was younger that I know now, mylife could have been a little bit dif-ferent,’” Hisson said. She addedthat it’s empowering for youngpeople to understand more aboutthe world around them. “To learnthese teachings at a young age willreally empower them for their lifeexperience.”

Both events take place at Unityof London at 137-4026Meadowbrook Dr., and everyoneis welcome. For more information,call 519-652-9294 or email [email protected]. Checkout Unity of London’s website atunityoflondon.com.

Unity of London offers mind-opening events

So, I was at Toys Cost’ Us the other day topick up a gift for a kid’s birthday. Endlessshelves of foreign-produced plastic crapmolded into friendly, colourful formswrapped in more plastic crap produced inforeign countries by poor 12-year-old third-world displaced rural children who had toleave their indigenous farm to earn 99 centsa month by tying in every Polly Pocket shoewith small bits of wire made in the factoryacross the street.

Packaging isn’t something I often thinkabout or place much weight on in my dailylife; however, more and more my life is tem-porarily hindered by the current state ofpackaging. Toys, light bulbs, hardware,video games… somewhere along the linethere occurred a shift in packaging design.When we were kids, we peeled off a thinlayer of Saran wrap and opened a cardboardbox containing our new toy. Now, displayedbehind a thick layer of clear plastic residesthe object of our attention. Marketing depart-ments around the world have flocked to theuse of plastic clamshell bubble packaging,allowing the product to be splayed out in allits glory to make the product look biggerthan it is, allow for safe shipping and add abillion tons of extra garbage to our landfillsannually.

Perhaps I should have adjusted my assess-ment of Skylanders Giants to take into con-sideration all those millions of blister packsnow (not) rotting in landfills all over theworld.

My inner child finally settled on aPokémon toy (an electronic Bulbasaur).

There displayed behind a layer of thick, clearplastic sat my inviting gift. Numerous smallaccessories tied with care to a cardboardbacking displaying Kanto in all its glory. Anartistic backdrop to hang Bulbasaur and hissilver-coated wire tethered accessories hang-ing amongst a backdrop of quaint hills, flow-ers, a bright sunny cloudless sky and theobligatory Pikachu peeking out from behinda log.

I needed batteries for my gift, because itneeded batteries. I think that instead of hav-ing the ability to simply recharge your itemsis so contrived that it reeks of consumermanipulation! The companies that producetoys, flashlights, game controllers, smokealarms and most all consumer products musthave an excess of caustic alkaline nickel-plated iron canton tubes in a sulfuric acidbath that they need to dispose of. The batter-ies were conveniently stocked in the shelfbeside my Bulbasaur. They were also nicelydisplayed in hard plastic bubble shell blisterpackaging. I now know why they call themblister packs.

The opening of Bulbasaur replaced suchparty standards as Pin the Tail on theDonkey and Duck-Duck-Goose. The kidslaughed and laughed as I first tried to rip thepackage open with my hands, before resort-ing to my teeth – something they took greatdelight in reminding me that they are told notto do this. My mirth quickly turned to irrita-tion, anger and confusion before settling onpain. I later learned that there is a name forthis series of conflicting emotions: wraprage.

Wrap rage is named for a heightened levelof anger and frustration resulting from theinability to open thick plastic heat-sealedblister packs. Apparently thousands of con-sumers suffer injuries every year from toolsused to open packages and from the packag-ing itself. Papercuts pale in comparison to a

blister pack gouge.So you move to a more varied assemblage

of useless implements of destruction to openup Bulbasaur: a pen, a pair of safety scissors,a fork and the nail clippers all fail to makeanything more than a mark on the packageand an ink-filled hole in your leg. Next thingyou know, you’ve got the cake-cuttingturkey knife in hand and start impaling thepackage with a blur of primal thrustingmotions. HINT: you can also use the sameknife to unscrew the miniscule screws secur-ing the battery cover. You may chip yourknife, and stab your lap, but it beats buying anew eyeglass repair kit that comes with ascrewdriver and magnifying glass smallenough for this otherwise delicate operation.I actually left this party without successfullyopening Bulbasaur, my wrap rage represseddeep inside with the help of two Valiumsproffered by a more experienced wrap-open-ing mother at the party.

Shortly after the Bulbasaur fiasco, thelegitimacy of “wrap rage” became clear tome. In a fit on insomnia, I found myself upat 3 a.m. watching The Shopping Network.There to my amazement was a tool guaran-teed to open all forms of packaging withoutan overt amount of effort and no actual pain.This tool promised to put an end to wraprage for only $19.99. I instantly ordered itand waited patiently for six to eight weeks.Unfortunately, the tool arrived in a hardplastic bubble clamshell pack and I didn’thave my turkey knife with me.

Have you ever wondered why you wereturned down for that credit card or new carloan? Your credit information as reported bya credit reporting agency is the likely culprit.This article will introduce you to creditreporting in Ontario.

What is a consumer reporting agency?A consumer reporting agency prepares an

in-depth report on your creditworthiness,usually for the use of a third party. They col-lect this information through credit-grantorsand other publically-available sources.Consumer reporting agencies are governedby Ontario’s Consumer Reporting Act(CRA), which regulates what informationthey can report about you, and to whom. TheCRA also protects you against the use ofincorrect and outdated information aboutyour credit history. The largest reportingagencies in Ontario are TransUnion andEquifax.

What information is included in mycredit report?

The moment you get your first credit cardor take out a loan, your credit file is created.It includes information about any and allcredit advanced to you and the balance ofeach, and whether you are making your pay-ments on time. Your credit report showswhether you pay your other bills, such asyour rent and utilities, on time. It containspersonal information such as your name, ageand occupation; current and previous placesof residence; marital status and yourspouse’s name; your dependents; your edu-cation, professional qualifications andemployment history; your estimated income,

outstanding debts, and assets; and your char-acter and reputation, health, and physical orother personal characteristics. Your creditreport may not include unfavourable infor-mation, unless it is corroborated; judgments,bankruptcies, information about debt collec-tion, payment or nonpayment of fines ortaxes, or criminal convictions, if any of theseare more than seven years old; criminal con-victions that have been discharged or par-doned; criminal charges that have been with-drawn, dismissed, or set aside; and informa-tion regarding race, colour, creed, sex,ancestry, ethnic origin or political affilia-tion.

Who can see my credit report?A consumer reporting agency can only

release your credit report with your writtenpermission. Usually when you apply forcredit you are asked to fill out an applicationform that includes written consent, givingthe creditor permission to check your creditreport. Every time an inquiry is made aboutyour credit, a note is made in the file and iskept for three years. This allows you to seewho has requested your credit report andwhen. Consumer reporting information ismost often requested by potential landlords,employers, insurance companies andgrantors of credit cards, mortgages and bankloans. Creditors use this information todetermine if you pay your debts and howrisky it would be to extend further credit toyou. If a creditor denies a benefit or increas-es fees due to your credit history, they mustinform you this was the reason.

How can I see my credit report andwhat should I do if it is incorrect?

Under the CRA, if you request a mailedcopy of your credit report, a consumerreporting agency must provide it free ofcharge. The report must contain all informa-tion in the agency’s files pertaining to you atthe time of your request, and all sources of

this information. Credit reporting agenciesmust make reasonable efforts to verify unfa-vorable credit information. If you disputeinformation based on correctness or accura-cy, the reporting agencies must confirm it astrue, correct it, or delete it from the record. Ifthe credit reporting agency refuses to correctinaccurate information, you can complain tothe Ministry of Consumer Services, whichwill investigate the matter. The Ministry canorder that credit information be amended ordeleted, and prosecute agencies for viola-tions of the CRA.

To obtain a free copy of your creditreport, contact Equifax Canada at equifax.caor 1-800-465-7166, or Trans Union Canadaat tuc.ca or 1-800-663-9980. To make acomplaint regarding a credit reportingagency, contact the Ministry of ConsumerServices at 1-800-889-9768 or visit theirwebsite at tinyurl.com/minconsumerser-vices.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR [email protected] 8


The issue of cooperation defines everygovernment as it signifies their willingnessto pursue the public interest as opposed totheir own. Compare the current Federal par-adigm, in which cooperation is considered afour-letter word, to the recently electedOntario Premier Kathleen Wynne, appealingto NDP leader Andrea Horwath for support.A government’s stance on cooperation canend up defining their term in power. As weapproach the Federal Liberal leadershipelection in mid-April, the idea of coopera-tion is turning into a wedge issue that setscandidate Joyce Murray apart from heropposition.

As the Member of Parliament forVancouver Quadra, Murray has a distin-guished track record academically, environ-mentally and politically. She co-foundedBrinkman and Associates Reforestation Ltd.with her husband and has a track record ofenvironmental advocacy and protection.This amalgamation of interests has created acandidate that can be attractive to a widevariety of voters who may be dividedbetween the other candidates. While Murrayhas advocated for cooperation among thoseshe calls “progressives,” it’s a sentiment thatis generating equal appreciation for its uni-fying nature and criticism from those whosee it as a compromise in values. At theHalifax debate on March 3, Justin Trudeauhimself rhetorically asked Murray if shewere abandoning the Liberal party.

In this particular election, voters mustdecide to either support a candidate whomthey identify with, or one whom they cancount on to beat incumbent Prime MinisterStephen Harper in the upcoming 2015Federal election. In an ideal world, the twowould be one and the same, but in this casethey most certainly are not. Trudeau’s rivalcandidates have, with some merit, accusedhim of not having strong policy standpoints,however it’s a technique that, as they wellknow, could end up working in his favour. IfTrudeau fails to identify significant wedgeissues, he simultaneously robs the opposi-tion of points to attack him on.

The field of candidates with even a chanceto challenge Trudeau for the top job in theFederal Liberal Party is down to two afterthe debate in Halifax on March 3. MarcGarneau and Joyce Murray were the onlytwo candidates to stay on message and pres-ent themselves as a viable alternative to theyoung politician during the Sunday debate.While in previous debates candidate MarthaHall-Findlay engaged Trudeau as well, hersubsequent apology after the previous debateon February 16 has damaged her credibilitymore than her initial accusation thatTrudeau’s upbringing made him an elitist.While Trudeau’s hold over the Liberal con-stituency remains ironclad, it’s beginning tolook like Murray’s strategy of offering alter-native options instead of competing onescould resonate with the broader public.

A lot will play out over the coming weeksthat will determine whether Trudeau is ableto win in a landslide or whether one of hisopponents will constitute a serious threat.Perhaps the ultimate question for Liberalsupporters is whether they want a leader whorepresents a fresh new face for the party orone who will try to rally the supporters ofbygone days.

Joyce Murray:The cure forTrudeaumania?

We have all seen them. At the end ofevery semester, Fanshawe scholars in allprograms cut back on their viewing ofCanadian “Idle” in favour of opening text-books that were once safe from human con-tamination. Students, who, under most con-ditions, behave like normal people, drive upthe value of Red Bull shares by consumingevery can of it in the city down to the lastdrop so they can study for hours on end,complete course assignments, and preparethemselves for exams.

Whence this madness? Somehow thedesire to improve grades grows beyond allreasonable proportion as the end of thesemester imposes itself on the otherwisetranquil intellect of the 21st-century student.

How does one avoid the over-indulgencein study that many tragically pursue betweenReading Week and the end of the term? Avery difficult challenge, to be sure, but thereis hope. Consider the following.

Most students know that one way to main-tain a healthy balance between fun and studyis to avoid secluded corners of the libraryand study in areas where one easily findsrelief from the textbook in friends droppingby. But, thanks to our wireless world, eventhat scenario, greatly desirable as it alreadyis, can be much improved.

Make sure that all the notification soundson your smartphone are turned on. That wayyou will not miss any of the text messages,emails and phone calls that come your way.

Also, be sure that you have a few alarms setto go off during the day. When you are in themiddle of comprehending for the first time acomplex algebraic formula, it will come aswelcome relief that it is 45 minutes beforenoon, giving you just three-quarters of anhour to pack up your books and secure yourfavourite spot in the Shack. Simple dailyroutines such as this are important to main-tain because of the therapeutic stability theyprovide during the topsy-turvy insanity ofexam study.

In case you need more help, make sureyou are also getting notifications from yourfavourite music artists and actors – there’snothing like getting a Tweet from J. Bieberor Elvis. Although, if Elvis is Tweeting you,you may have other issues to address.

Of course, having your phone emit asteady cacophony of sound may backfire. Ithas happened that other students who are notmuch into a healthy balance between studyand the rest of life will find your audioevents irritating. But take heart, friends.

Such people are a bad influence anyway.You will do better without having themaround to tempt you to study 15, 20, even 30minutes in a row without interruption.

When the hour comes and you walk intothe examination room, you will be able tohold your head high. While others haveexhausted the supply of midnight oil andemptied the energy drink displays in everyconvenience store between Masonville andIngersoll, you will have kept your dignity.What you lack in knowledge during the hourof examination will be more than made upfor by your good night’s sleep and your lackof worry about getting every answer correct.

What is an examination anyway but theaccumulation of black marks on an other-wise blank sheet of paper? And since thepaper was blank to start with, you’re alreadyhalf done even before you sign your name onit. That’s your 50 per cent passing graderight there. Anything else is a bonus. Theselast few weeks before exams – enjoy!

Joyce Murray trying to derail Trudeaumania.

I spend more time than I’d liketo admit looking at fashion everyday. Firstly, it comes straight to myinbox every morning, noon andnight from subscription sites andnewsletters, so that’s not my fault.Secondly, I follow every fashion-ista, designer and retail store imag-inable on Twitter and Tumblr, andfor that, I take full responsibility.

A lot of my style inspirationcomes from style bloggers. Whilefashion journalism, including writ-ing and photography, is beautifuland innovative, it can also be inac-cessible. Most fashion bloggers arepeople like you and me, who havejobs to go to, who have lives, andwho may not have $950 to spendon a pair of shoes at any giventime.

Fashion blogs are a fun, currentway to see the trickle down fromcouture to mass consumption. Ifyou want to see examples of howto work the runway trend into amore approachable style, here are afew blogs to check out… becauseyou don’t have any homework youshould be doing, right?

Into The Gloss is a website thatis dedicated to beauty, but from arunway perspective. The best partabout it is that it features productreviews, trends to try and alsoreviews of movies, runway shows,new product launches and more.To pique your interest, a fewrecent things happening on the siteinclude “Throwback Thursday –Come As You Are: Moments ofGrunge,” and “Backstage – MarcJacobs Fall 2013.” You can find

Emily, ITG’s leading lady, atintothegloss.com and on Twitter@IntoTheGloss.

The Coveteur is a blog,newsletter, Twitter feed and onlineshop. As the name suggests, it is ablog that promotes coveting thyneighbour’s shoes, and clothes,and homes. (Fun fact of the day:the CEO, Janet Bannister, is theentrepreneurial mastermind behindKijiji!) The Coveteur gives aninside look at the homes and clos-ets of fashion icons and tastemak-ers, making us all green with envy.This site does have a shoppingcomponent, so you can essentiallyshop the looks featured in the arti-cle. Just a warning, these are mod-erate to extremely high-priceditems. Find The Coveteur online atthecoveteur.com and @thecov-eteur.

Refinery29.com is a website

that follows beauty, fashion andpop culture trends in a newsletterformat. I log on to their sitebecause of course I love fashion,but I keep coming back becausethe writing is clear, easy to relateto, and often hilarious. I particular-ly admire whoever authors theirtweets. Some recent gems fromOscars night include “It blows ourmind that Adele is 24 and CarlyRae Jepson is 28…” and “JenniferGarner’s dress is a party in theback we don’t want to go to.”

There really is a blog for every-thing, and fashion blogs are a dimea dozen. This leads me to my nextpoint, which is that fashion blogsare actually free, and that’s greatfor those of us who would rathersave the money we spend onVogues and Harper’s and spend iton clothes instead!

Rockin’ the Doghouse at the Out Back Shack

With singer/songwriting teamSarah Beth and Jefferson Sheppardand Carl Welch on drums andbackup vocals, Doghouse Roseputs on an awesome show. Sarahand Jeff performed at a nooner inNovember on the Forwell Hallstage, and they’re bringing theirown brand of country music withfolk, punk and rock ’n’ roll ele-ments to Fanshawe once again atthe Out Back Shack on March 15.

I sat down with Jefferson andSarah Beth to get the scoop ontheir CD release party and whatfans can expect from them in thefuture.

Why did you decide to makeyour show here at the Out BackShack in March your CD releaseparty?

Jefferson: “It was a ‘crisertuni-ty’ – an opportunity in a crisis. Wejust hooked up with PatrickMaloney and he set us up with anooner here at Fanshawe. We havenever played the Out Back Shackbefore, but it’s a good location foreveryone who is coming out. A lot

of people don’t want to come tothe far east end or downtown.Everyone is really picky now, buteveryone is going to come to theOut Back Shack on St. Patrick’sDay weekend.”

What can we expect from thatshow, since it’s during St.Patrick’s Day weekend?

Jefferson: “Madness. We have agreat lineup with us; our drummerand guitarist are amazing. PatrickMaloney will be playing anacoustic set along with the BlackFrame Spectacle.”

Sarah Beth: “We just checkedthem out after we found out thatwe will be playing with them andwe are really excited to meet them.Their recordings are amazing.”

Describe the work that wentinto this next album and whatfans can expect.

Jefferson: “We are in the midstof it. As soon as we are done thisinterview, we are going to recordacoustic guitars for some of thetracks. We are well on the way, butthere is definitely some work thatneeds to be done.”

Sarah Beth: “This release partyis actually the re-release of our EPNo Mercy, which we did do a littlesmall run of. Now we are releasingit on a record label. It’s kind of acelebration of the new relationship

we have with our new recordlabel.”

Jefferson: “Yeah, it’s been pret-ty great. They have been awesome.They have been setting up a coupleof shows for us this summer and itlooks like we could even be goingdown to the States for a week or soto do our promotion for the newunion of the band.”

What was it like to play showswith Marty Stuart, MartinaMcBride, Barenaked Ladies,Blackie and the Rodeo Kings,The Oak Ridge Boys, ElliottBrood, and Tim Hus?

Sarah Beth: “For several ofthose shows we had another gig togo to, so we actually didn’t get tostay and watch most those bands –that’s how busy we were in thebeginning. Hustling, just trying toput it all out there. We got to stickaround for the Marty Stuart showand the Rodeo Kings. It was amaz-ing to see how far it could go if youreally put your mind to it. Themusicianship was just amazing andit felt like such an honour to be apart of it all.”

Itis a fabulous feminine twist on boy-ish apparel.

Start your outfit with a T-shirtwith an eye-catching graphic print.The shirt in this week’s picturerefers to New York, the birthplaceof hip-hop, and the armhole is cutdeep so the fit of the shirt is morerelaxed and interesting. The shirt ispaired with an interesting pair oftights that have a cool fabric designcriss-crossing on top of mesh.Combat boots are a great choice forfall, but high tops or colourfulsneakers work better for the streetstyle in summer and spring. Toaccessorize the look, layer a rope-chain necklace, a studded link neck-lace and a thin necklace with justone stud in the middle. To completethe look with makeup, bold eyelin-er and a bright red lip adds feminin-ity into the outfit.

There are tons of celebrities inthe media spotlight for various rea-sons – from starring in the latestmovie to having the current top hitsong to starting a hot new fashiontrend – but you rarely see a make-up artist in the spotlight.

When people think of a makeupartist, they usually think of onewho creates glamorous looks thatstrut down the runways during var-ious fashion weeks or one whodoes a celebrity’s makeup forwhen they are in a photo shoot.Makeup artists in TV and film areoften overlooked but are usuallythe ones who can create some pret-ty extraordinary effects, whetherit’s the dirt on an actor’s beard or afull prosthetic that completelychanges their appearance. One ofthese fabulous makeup artists hasnot only worked on some of themost iconic films of all time, buthas also revolutionized the way wedo makeup.

Richard Emerson “Dick” Smithwas born on June 26, 1922 inLarchmont, New York. He startedhis life by going to school at Yalewith the intention of pursuing acareer in dentistry, but later decid-ed to get his Master’s degree inzoology. It wasn’t until later inDick’s life, when he read a book onHollywood makeup secrets, that hewas inspired to do makeup andeventually become the administra-tor for makeup for the Yale dramagroup.

As he continued practicing andstudying, Dick found his place inTV, where he served NBC for 14years as their first makeup director.He worked on shows such as TheTwilight Zone, Dark Shadows andWay Out, where he started invent-ing his own methods and tricks toapplying makeup. His techniqueusing small foam latex to createprosthetics was highly criticised atfirst but eventually became indus-try standard.

Later on in Dick’s life, he beganto work on films, which reallybrought his name to fame in themovie industry. He was able tocombine makeup with onset practi-cal special effects, which made hismakeups look much more real andlifelike. Many of his fabulous tech-niques were seen in The Exorcist,House on Haunted Hill and theGodfather trilogy. He thenachieved one of the greatest

awards a makeup artist can achievein his or her career: Dick won anAcademy Award for Best Makeupfor the film Amadeus, where hetransformed a young man into anelderly one.

To further Dick’s accomplish-ments, in 2012 he received an hon-ourary Academy Award for hisamazing career, which is an out-standing life achievement.

While Dick hasn’t done manyrecent films, he continues to sharehis expertise and innovative tech-niques with aspiring makeupartists.

All of Dick Smith’s accomplish-ments combined has made him oneof the godfathers of makeup. Nexttime you are watching a film,check to see who the key makeupartist is and find out what othermovies they have done; it could beone of your favourites!

We all do it or have done it in thepast... you may think you’re gettinga quick fix for a clean space, but inreality you’re making a biggermess! You know what I am talkingabout: shoving everything you pos-sibly can into your closet. Whetherit’s your linen and storage or yourwalk-in clothes closet you’re stuff-ing to the brim, you and I bothknow you are guilty.

Getting started is always the hard-est part when it comes to cleaningout a messy closet – I know thatfrom firsthand experience! To start,you need to venture through yourbelongings and get rid of what youdon’t want or don’t need! A clutteredcloset starts by having old, unusedjunk taking up precious space.

Once you have decided what isstaying and what is going, you canprioritize your belongings. Sortyour stuff into piles of how oftenthey’re used: frequently, occasion-ally, rarely or never. Once youhave your belongings in these cat-egories, the next step is to sort youritems out by what they are or whattheir use is. The next followingsteps will vary depending on what

type of closet you are organizing. Linen and Storage ClosetOnce all of your belongings are

sorted and organized in the appro-priate category, you can start the funpart of organizing! Purchase storagebaskets and jars that are suitable toyour taste to create a visuallyappealing closet. Next, place youritems where they belong. For exam-ple, keep all of your faceclothstogether by folding them neatly andplacing them in their own decorativebasket. I suggest doing the same foryour towels but using a bigger bas-ket. Instead of sorting your beddingby pillow cases and sheets, sort byset and keep all sets together andfolded nicely.

Smaller items stored in your clos-et can be put into decorative jars.Other household items stored in yourcloset can be put into more decora-tive baskets sorted by type or use.

Once you have all of your itemssorted into baskets and jars, oreven just folded neatly and placedon the shelf, you can start placingyour items in the closet. Place yourmost often used items at eye level,generally in the middle of the clos-et. Occasionally used items shouldbe the next available shelves inyour closet – place these itemsdirectly above and under the mostoften used items. Last, the leastfrequently used items will beplaced at the top and bottom of

closet – yes, that is a longer reachfor accessibility, but keep in mindthey are rarely used.

Clothes Closet Once you have all of your

clothes sorted by type – tanks,short/long sleeve, cardigans, blaz-ers and sweaters – your organizingcan begin. Place all grouped itemstogether in your closet, and be sureto place all of your clothes in yourcloset all facing the same way – allfronts of shirts and sweaters facingeither to the right or left.

Next, sort your accessories bytype. Scarves and belts can eitherbe hung neatly on a hanger or fold-ed into a storage basket. Place hatsinto sorting baskets. Purses caneither be hung on the inside of yourcloset door using removable hooksor placed in baskets. Last, having ashoe rack in your closet is essentialso you don’t end up with all ofyour shoes piled up in your closet.

Do not get discouraged if youhave a smaller closet; these tipswork for closets of all sizes andshapes. Once you get started onthis project, you won’t want to stopuntil it’s finished.

When you have completedorganizing your closet, your lifewill be a little less hectic becauseyou will easily find everything youneed. Say goodbye to closet clutterand hello to a beautifully organizedcloset space!

TURN BORINGSPACES BEAUTIFUL BRITTANY ROACH

Comedians Darren Frost andKenny Robinson have very dirtyminds… and filthier mouths.

For some, this type of comedymay be unappealing, and for othersit may be right up their alley, butit’s “not to impress,” said Frost,who is hitting London withRobinson for the Rank and VileComedy Show from March 21 to23 at Yuk Yuk’s (900 King St.).

Though a crude style of humour,it is meant to be taken lightly, Frostsaid. “The basics of our show vers-es other shows is the controversialtones – no apologies for what wedo. It is meant to be taken as ajoke.”

Frost said that this style of com-edy is not all that unconventional.“It’s unconventional in the sensethat people think stand up is sup-posed to be a certain way, but it isnot unconventional to the historyof comedy shows … We may bepushing conventions of thought ...provoking-thought in a rank andvile way, but it is not all thatunconventional.”

He was enthusiastic to mentionthat they’re proud of their style ofhumour. “We don’t hide it behindanything; you can’t please every-one, and we’re not trying to!”

What the Rank and Vile comedi-ans take pride in is their new mate-rial and staying true to the style ofcomedy they set out to be. “‘Rankand Vile’ sums it up,” Frostexclaimed. He also noted that theywere to call their show “DoublePenetration” but changed it for thesake of public opinion.

Frost said Fanshawe studentsalways make for a great audience.

“Fanshawe students are wonderfulwhen they come to our shows.”They have been at Fanshawe a fewtimes before and were delighted inthe reactions they got from theaudience. “We’re used to hecklers,but Fanshawe students weren’t likethat ... They either enjoyed it orthey didn’t, but they didn’t heck-le.”

Love it or hate it, Frost and hiscrew don’t plan to change any timesoon. Check out Frost andRobinson’s Rank and Vile show atYuk Yuk’s on March 21 at 8 p.m.,March 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. and10:30 p.m. Snag tickets atyukyuks.com. For more informa-tion, head to Frost’s site at come-dywhore.com.

Jack the Giant Slayer(2013)

It seems that fairy tales and folk-lore are the latest trend inHollywood’s rash of remakes andadaptations. There was Red RidingHood a couple years back, therewas Hansel and Gretel: WitchHunters just last month and now,the newest addition to this genre,there’s Jack the Giant Slayer.

Bryan Singer, who is bestknown for bringing the X-Menfranchise to the big screen, takeshis shot at recreating a belovedage-old fairy tale for this genera-tion of moviegoers. Jack the GiantSlayer follows the plotline of theoriginal folk tale fairly closely:young Jack trades his horse for ahandful of beans and sadly spillsthem on his way home. Little doesJack know that the beans are mag-ical and quickly sprout into a giantbeanstalk that allows him to climbhigh into the sky to the lands of thegiants. Jack the Giant Slayer doesinclude some new elements,

though, like the backstory that tellsof a long waging war between thehumans and the giants and theyoung princess Isabelle whom Jackis pining for.

The cast of Jack the GiantSlayer is fairly impressive.Nicholas Hoult steps into the lead-ing role of Jack and it seems thatthis British-born actor is simplycharming in every role he takes on.Hoult, who was recently seen inWarm Bodies, always has that airof awkwardness to him that thisgeneration of young movie fansseems to really love. It makes him

relatable, even in a fantastical rolesuch as this one.

Stepping in beside Hoult as hislove interest Isabelle is EleanorTomlinson, a fellow Brit.Tomlinson unfortunately plays herrole a little flat, and the chemistrybetween the two seems to come upshort.

Ian McShane, Stanley Tucci andEwan McGregor all have support-ing roles in Jack the Giant Slayer,as they bring to life Isabelle’sfather King Brahmwell, the evilsuitor Roderick and brave knightElmont respectively. Not surpris-

ingly, Tucci is the comedic centreof the flick with his usual wit andspark.

The trouble with Jack the GiantSlayer is that there is very littleoriginality present. Sure, there arecertain elements of the plot thatdidn’t exist in the original tale, butthey fail to make up for the factthat watching this flick feels exact-ly like you’re watching a story youknow inside out… which youprobably are.

On top of that is the CGIemployed by Jack the GiantSlayer. It is not only overly used,

but the quality is so poor that itdetracts from the rest of the flick.The giants are obviously computergenerated and it seems almost amockery of that fact that theGeneral of the giants, Fallon,sports an extra head on his shoul-ders.

Jack the Giant Slayer is exactlywhat you think it will be. It’s thesame story told in much the sameway. If you’re looking for some-thing new and fresh this one is bestavoided.

A not-so-new look at an old fairy tale

Jack (Nicholas Hoult) faces some very large obstacles in Jack the Giant Slayer.

Robotropolis (2011)

Over the past decade, we havewitnessed some incredible techno-logical breakthroughs.Smartphones. iPads. HDTV. Yetthe vast majority of the populationdoes not have their own robot but-ler.

Is it just me, or does that seemwrong? Weren’t we all promisedrobot servants would be a part ofour lives sometime after the year2000? Yet now we’re 13 years intothis millennium, and I’m still pour-ing my own bowl of CountChocula and bathing my own chil-dren in a completely robot-freehome.

Thankfully, Hollywood is hereto give us a glimpse of what we aremissing. In the glorious tradition ofRoboCop 3 and Short Circuit 2comes Robotropolis, an instant sci-ence fiction classic that envisions ascenario where more robots wouldactually be a bad thing.

Robotropolis takes place in NewTown, a private community whererobots have become commonplace.They work in factories and interactwith the locals. A television newscrew has come to New Town tofile reports on how perfectly every-thing is going. However – braceyourselves – a stunning turn ofevents changes everything.

While the GNN crew is in themidst of a live broadcast, a robotwanders into a soccer game. Thisgame certainly could not be calleda “friendly,” as the robot inexplica-bly shoots and kills one of thehuman participants. There haveonly been two exciting moments insoccer history: when BrandiChastain ripped off her jersey dur-ing a World Cup victory celebra-tion, and when France’s ZinedineZidane head-butted someone backin 2006. Well, we now have a thirdthrilling soccer moment to remem-ber.

Now, the simple solution wouldbe to find the killer robot anddestroy it. However, it is not thateasy. At the risk of sounding racist,all these robots look alike. That’snot the only issue, though. The badbehaviour is spreading, and beforelong, the robots are preying on thetownsfolk like a family of guinea

pigs attacking a Dairy Queen icecream cake. Have you ever seenguinea pigs eating a cake? It is nota pretty site, and neither are thesevicious robot assaults. And no, Iam not getting any kickback fromDairy Queen for mentioning themin this review.

Basically this situation becomesas destructive as a “Harlem Shake”video shoot in Oasis. Althoughmaybe that isn’t an appropriatecomparison. I mean, these robotsseem to have become sentientbeings capable of original thought,so they likely wouldn’t have any-thing to do with a “Harlem Shake”video.

The story is mostly told throughthe point of view of the GNN crew,so it is almost like the viewer is

watching an actual news broadcast.Except in this case the news isinteresting, and there is no awk-ward banter between the anchor-man and weather girl.

Robotropolis is a stylish tale thatnot only delivers plenty of actionand drama, but also gives viewersplenty to think about. How muchdo you trust that microwave inyour kitchen? What about thatelectric toothbrush in your bath-room? How well do you reallyknow your iPod Nano? I’m notsuggesting that these devices aregoing to rebel and murder youwhile you sleep. Just to be on thesafe side though, you might wantto see if you are able to sleep withone eye open.

Cinema ConnoisseurALLEN GAYNORwww.cinemaconn.com


Can you imagine how good itwould make you feel if you werepersonally asked by the Academyof Motion Picture Arts to host theirannual awards show, better knownas the Oscars? Now can you imag-ine how bad it would feel to havethose same people, and the criticswho support their work, callingyou a terrible host in a thousanddifferent ways? Well, folks, in anutshell, that’s what hosting theOscars is all about.

A couple of years ago, AnneHathaway and James Franco co-hosted the show. Hathaway wasmore or less approved of by critics,though the most that they couldreally say was that she was betterthan Franco. They called himthings like “awful” and “horrible.”In this case, though, Franco wasjust being himself. He wasn’t act-ing a part, he wasn’t in a movie, hewas letting his own personalitycome through during a live show.Apparently that’s not goodenough.

A few years before that therewas Jon Stewart. He was one of myall-time favourite hosts. The criticspanned him for being too JonStewart-ish. Essentially they dis-liked him for the same reasons theydisliked James Franco. The twomen were simply being themselveson screen. Stewart, of course,made political comments and snideremarks about conventional things,but that’s what he’s known for.The critics did not approve.

Ellen DeGeneres was panned forbeing shy and awkward. Well,awkward is kind of what you getwhen you ask for Ellen. DavidLetterman was panned for usingtoo much late night-style humour.Well, of course he did; he is a late-night talk show host. The list goes

on and on. And then you have this year’s

ceremony hosted by Family Guycreator Seth MacFarlane. I’ll betyou can guess why the critics did-n’t like him. Yep, because hishumour was too crass and hisjokes, like the one about ChrisBrown and Rihanna’s date night,crossed some lines. I thinkMacFarlane (and all the “bad”hosts who came before him) wascompletely justified. He was askedto host a ceremony because of hispersonality, so he let it all out, andthen he was slammed for that samepersonality.

Hosting the Oscars is a toughgig. The industry likes to stick withwhat it knows and what it isalready sure it will like. This isundoubtedly why Billy Crystal hashosted no less than 10 ceremonies.Crystal is the Oscar darling, eventhough viewers have come to findhis jokes tired.

The critics like what they likewhen it comes to the Oscars, andunfortunately nothing is going tochange that anytime soon. Hostingthe Oscars has got to be one of themost stressful, impossible jobs inthe industry, and I give kudos toanyone who takes that risk nowa-days.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)Surprises are best when a loved

one springs them on you. Proof ofownership or residency is self-evi-dent. Courageous acts are bornfrom feelings of deep security.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)You take your struggle far too

seriously. You have many reasonsto laugh. You gain new insight intoyour story when telling it again forthe benefit of a newcomer.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)When you yield to temptation, it

might quickly stop being fun.Gemini is still responsible for thewelfare of others. If you aren’t aparent yet, this is excellent train-ing. Being focused and caring willsoon pay off.

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)Think small to avoid being over-

whelmed. Stay away from peoplewhose conversation will take youto an undesirable place. Self-carecomes miles ahead of serving oth-ers. You deserve to be spoiled for awhile.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)Unanswered questions resolve

themselves. The undecided areyielding to your magic touch.Some would say that you’re tram-pling all over them, but the truth isthat you’re sweeping them intoyour dance.

Virgo (August 23 - Sept. 22)Stay calm and rational. Anyone

heartless enough to tease you does-n’t deserve a response. As long asyou believe in a just world, sooneror later the circumstances willavenge you.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)Other people are crucial to your

picture. If you don’t go out intothe world in search of friendship,it will come to you soon enough.You’re party to any agreement -especially if it involves a party.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)Someone tries to talk you into

believing the unbelievable. Resignyourself to a weekend of credibil-ity exercises. A moment of satis-faction isn’t worth the price thatcomes with it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)Adventure is where you find it.

Sagittarius could make a mountainout of a mole hill, and not even themoles would complain. Writeyour story in large letters and sellthe movie rights before the weekis done.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)Your dream life is a powerful

source of inspiration and answers.Capricorn is the first to do unusu-al things simply because no oneelse has ever thought of thembefore. Make productive use ofyour spare time.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)You’re working with symbols

that easily overpower others. Youdispatch your obligations easilyand are soon hungry for the nextchallenge. If this happened everyday, you’d soon be king or queenof everything.

Pisces (Feb. 18 - March 20)Although you say that you’re

‘between relationships,’ this couldactually be the start of a new one.Recognize the laws and principlesthat are now in effect. Your wordswill be heard and remembered.

Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3x3 grid con-tains the digits 1 through 9. That means no number is repeated in any col-umn, row or box. Solution can be found on page 18.

THE TONIGHT SHOWwith Jay Leno

For the first time in history, NBC

is fifth in the ratings. We are now

behind the Spanish language channel

Univision. As we call that here in

Los Angeles, “Cinco de Ratings.”

In South Africa more than two-

thirds of the meat products tested

contained undeclared ingredients. Or

as we call that in this country, a hot

dog.

This horse meat scandal just keeps

growing. And it isn’t happening only

in Europe. According to a new

report, donkey meat has been found

in hamburgers in South Africa.

Consumers said when they were eat-

ing the burgers, they

sensed something was

wrong but they couldn’t

quite pin a tail on it.

BEST IN LATE NIGHTCOMIC RELIEF

CONAN with Conan O’Brien

The search for a Pope has begun.

The cardinals are all starting to gath-

er together in Rome right now. It’s

like a Star Trek convention but less

celibate.

Cardinals from all over the world

are gathering in Rome to select the

next Pope. You can watch the whole

process on Vatican’s Got Talent.The top choice to be the new Pope

could be a Canadian. If elected Pope,

his first act is to grant sainthood to

Wayne Gretzky.

Dennis Rodman visited North

Korea. Rodman came back and said

President Obama should call North

Korean leader Kim Jong

Un. But President Obama

was busy discussing Iran’s

nuclear capabilities with

Scottie Pippen.

LATE NIGHT with Jimmy Fallon

The NFL is investigating reports

that several teams have asked play-

ers about their sexual orientation

before drafting them. They’ve been

asking questions like, “Do you have

a girlfriend?” and “Is she real?”

In his final speech before resign-

ing, Pope Benedict said that he is not

abandoning the Catholic Church.

Like most Catholics, he’ll be back

for Christmas and Easter.

We have first lady Michelle Obama

on the show tonight! I plan to ask her

some serious questions, like, ‘Do you

think that I could pull off bangs?’

She is here to talk about

her fitness initiative ‘Let’s

Move.’ Meanwhile, Chris

Christie will be on next

week to talk about his initia-

tive ‘Let’s Sit.’

THE LATE LATE SHOW with Craig Ferguson

According to a new study, Hawaii

is the happiest place in America to

live. And I thought it was just a great

place to pretend you were born in.

President Obama's half-brother is

running for office in Kenya. He's a

political novice who was born and

raised in Africa. I don't know much

about the half-brother.

Many people don't realize

Chicago is the home of two major

cookie companies — Keebler and

Nabisco. They are intense rivals. No

one will forget the Great Keebler Elf

Massacre of 1934.

The massacre was horrible.

Hats and pointy shoes

everywhere. Three elves

were found face-down

in a pool of their

own fudge.

THE LATE SHOW with David LettermanIt’s tax season. Has anybody been

to their accountant? I used to go in

with a short form and be out of there

in 10 minutes. Well, now I went to

the guy and the first thing he says to

me when I walk into the office is,

“Are you sure you weren’t tailed?”

Congratulations to Chuck Hagel,

new secretary of defense. And today,

he's already off to a bad start. He’s

going to bring all of the troops home

from Afghanistan, but they’re com-

ing on a Carnival cruise.

The Pope was fired a couple

weeks ago. They caught him stealing

communion wafers.

The Pope does not earn a

nickel. No paycheck, no

money coming in, nothing.

That must drive his wife

crazy.

JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE with Jimmy Kimmel

Did you know the Pope is a heli-

copter pilot? He has a helicopter

pilot’s license, but never got a dri-

ver’s license. He can fly a helicopter,

but he can’t drive a car — just like

Jesus before him.

Justin Bieber made a lot of fans

angry in London last night. He had a

concert that was supposed to start at

8:30 but Justin didn’t get out there

until 10:30. Half the audience was kids

on a school night, which means they

were late getting home and had to go

straight to bed without brushing their

teeth, and the British really can’t afford

to miss a night of teeth brushing.

How can you ever be

late for anything in

London? They have a

huge clock right in the

middle of the town.

Hi, my name is Jenna and I am ashopaholic. Phew, glad we got thatout of the way, I had been holdingit in for far too long.

I didn’t think it was that big ofan issue until I had to be physical-ly taken out of a store (by mymom, not by an aggressive securi-ty guard). I put most of the blameon window displays; they are justso well put together!

If you are also wondering ifyou’re also a shopaholic, here are afew symptoms: even after a day ofshopping you can’t help but thinkof that cardigan that you didn’tbuy. Even though you already ownthe same one in six other colours,you drive right back to the store thefollowing day to pick it up. That’swhen you should start becoming abit concerned, but you have offi-cially received the title of a shopa-holic if it starts to interfere withyour relationships. After all,there’s only so much time in a day.

So anyways, enough about you,

back to me. As someone whospends quite a bit of time in themall, I have gotten to know theshopping protocol quite well,unlike others. If you’re spendingthe day at the mall, leave your dirtylaundry at home. Just the otherweek, I listened to a half-hourargument between a couple aboutcutlery. It sometimes is a great wayto get your daily soap opera fix, ifthat’s your kind of thing.

One thing I try to avoid at allcosts is trying things on in the fit-ting room. There are two types offitting rooms in my opinion: theones that you can pretty much helpyourself to, that usually have nodoor locks and also mysterious car-pet stains. Or there are the typeswith a 30-person lineup and alarm-ingly loud music. Those lineups

are usually caused by the shopperswho insist on showing every itemof clothing to their parents, friendsand family pets who are outside thedoor.

Shoppers aren’t the only oneswho demonstrate strange behav-iour; turns out employees areequally at fault. Sometimes I justwant to browse around a shop, notbe harassed around every cornerasking if I’d like to try out a sam-ple (unless it’s Costco, of course).

At the end of the day, there willalways be people looking to makeyour shopping experience one toremember, for better or for worse.Maybe those people were put therepurposely to stop us shopaholicsfrom causing credit card damage.If that’s the case, it’s not working.

Happy shopping!

With the Grapefruit leagueunderway, Blue Jays fans acrossthe province are carefully analyz-ing the new and improved rosterthat’s projected to take a run at thisyear’s World Series title.

Some major moves during theoff-season have injected life backinto Jays fans, who have waitedtwo decades to see their team in theplayoffs.

“You’re looking at guys likeR.A. Dickey, who won the CyYoung Award last year; JoseReyes, who is a former battingchampion; and a guy like MelkyCabrera, who was on his way to abatting title last year before he wassuspended,” said Arden Zwelling,a writer for Sportsnet Magazine.“They’ve taken on really signifi-cant pieces and a lot of payroll,which is something that they didn’tdo for a number of years.”

The new $120 million Jays’salary many not compare to teamslike the New York Yankees, whoboast a $210 million salary thisyear, but it’s the largest in Jays’history.

Many believe that the team’sthree new starting pitchers, whotogether will cost the team justover $30 million, will be the key toreaching the playoffs. Aside fromDickey and his famous knuckle-balls, opponents will have to faceMark Buehrle, whose historyincludes two no-hitters, and JoshJohnson a big right handed pitcherwho has the make-up of an ace.

These acquisitions will joinstarters Brandon Morrow andRicky Romero.

“The Jays have always been ateam that scored a lot of runs, theproblem has been starting pitchingfor the most part, I mean, eversince Roy Halladay left, theyhaven’t really had a true ace,” stat-ed Zwelling.

Former Jays centerfielder DevonWhite, best known for his catch inthe ’92 World Series, reflected onwhat made that winning team soremarkable.

“The Jays had a very good teamin the late ’80s: Jessie Barfield,George Bell, Tony Fernandez wasthere, ’88, ’89, ’90. They were alittle bit lacking in pitching, butthat was taken care of in ’91,’92,’93, so that’s the difference,” saidWhite.

With a boost to their bullpen, theJays’ roster is near-perfect onpaper, arguably the best since the’93 team. Many comparisons havebeen made between the two teams,but nothing can be certain until theseason starts.

“I think it’s different eras, it’sdifferent players, they’re a lotfaster team right now, we might’vehad more power,” said White. “Idon’t think it’s fair to those guys tocompare them with us, but onpaper I think they should win thedivision hands down, but everyonehas to stay healthy and it’s a big‘if.’”

Looking perfect on paper does-n’t always guarantee success.

“They do look really good on

paper, but a lot of people thoughtlast year’s Blue Jays team lookedpretty good on a paper – goodenough to challenge for a wildcard, and they ended up losingmore games than they won,” saidZwelling.

Last season the Jays wereplagued with injuries. Accordingto Zwelling, it’s important to beprepared for those injuries to hap-pen, “What might be key is guyslike J.A. Happ, and Chad Jenkinswho are probably gonna start atAAA Buffalo. If there are injuries,if a Blue Jays pitcher does hit the15-day disabled list, and it’s likelythat at least one pitcher will gethurt this year, those guys can fillthose holes.”

White had some advice for thisyear’s team: “The best thing I cansay is just stay focused and stayhealthy. Getting to September,when we say September it’s a longjourney – games and weather andinjuries – it’s a long gruelling year,so you just gotta keep playing hardand hope everything falls intoplace.”

Jays preparing for highly anticipated season

The annual World FigureSkating Championships, common-ly referred to as Worlds, has final-ly arrived here in London andBudweiser Gardens is hosting theevent.

Reaching gold at Worlds is thehighest accomplishment a figureskater can achieve, other than win-ning at the Olympics.

This event moves all around theglobe and is expected to bring over35,000 visitors to London.

It’s rare for London to host sucha large event, and this is a once ina lifetime experience. Canada hasnot held the Worlds since 2006, inCalgary. The last few champi-onships were hosted by France(2012), Russia (2011) and Italy(2010). Worlds showcases 170 ofthe best athletes from 45 differentcountries, and attracts over 150million TV viewers every year.The skaters compete in four cate-gories: men’s singles, women’ssingles, pairs, and ice dancing.

Ever since the city applied andwas accepted to host the event inJune 2010, they have been prepar-ing in every way possible.According to Skate Canada’sdirector of events, Jackie Stell-Buckingham, “The city has reallyengaged in the event and taken ona lot of extra responsibilities.”Stell-Buckingham explained thatthey have been booking facilities,working with London Tourism,and setting up massive tentsaround Budweiser Gardens, whichcontain working media centres, anathlete’s lounge, warm-up areas,and anti-doping facilities.

“We’re hoping that this may bethe beginning of more internation-

al event hosting for London,because if London can do theWorld Figure SkatingChampionship, then it’s a prettygood indication that they would beable to do almost any major inter-national sporting event,” said Stell-Buckingham.

This year is slightly differentfrom other years because the eventwill help determine the number ofathletes that will be entered byeach country into the OlympicGames next year.

Canada will be rooting forPatrick Chan, who holds three

world records and is the 2011 and2012 World Champion. Londonerswill also be welcoming hometownfavourites Tessa Virtue and ScottMoir. The ice dance pair has anoutstanding history, winning goldat the 2010 Olympic Games and agold at the 2010 and 2012 Worlds.

The Opening Ceremonies willbe held on March 13 at 3:45 p.m.You can also catch Tree of Light, a10-minute light and sound show tobe held outside of Bud Gardenseach night during the event. For afull list of event times, visittinyurl.com/worldslondon.

The Worlds come to London

At just 22 years old, PatrickChan is one of the most successfulfigure skaters Canada’s ever had.He is the 2011 and 2012 WorldChampion, a two-time Grand PrixFinal Champion, a two-time FourContinents Champion and a six-time Canadian Champion.

Chan will compete at the 2013World Figure SkatingChampionships in London thisweek, and he’s been hard at workpreparing for the competition.

But it hasn’t been an easy seasonfor Chan, who finished third at theGrand Prix Final in Sochi Russialast month and second at SkateCanada International in September.

Chan has been working extreme-ly hard over the past few months,and because he came in first atWorlds in 2011 and 2012, there isa lot of pressure on him to hold thattitle for a third year.

Chan decided to opt out of theFour Continents Championshipsheld in Japan in February to focuson regrouping with his supportteam.

“I stopped in Calgary first andsaw Andy (O’Brien) to kind ofrevamp my whole off ice programand then look at my nutrition andmy supplements and tune it up abit,” explained Chan.

After his time in Calgary, Chantravelled to Toronto and workedwith choreographers Jeff Buttleand David Wilson. “(I wanted to)look at my program and once againtune my programs up, change someof the patterns, some of the orderof some of the jumps, because I feltlike I was struggling a bit withsome of the positioning of thejumps,” he said.

Chan chose Detroit for the final

leg of his training journey and wasthere for two weeks prior to theWorlds. “I thought that the bestplace for me to train would proba-bly be the most competitive and themost friendly, and a positive envi-ronment,” said Chan.

Many of his other teammatesfrom Canada have been training atthe same rink, something Chansaid has motivated him to workeven harder. He also wanted to bein a city that shares the same timezone as London.

Chan finished fifth in the 2010Vancouver Olympics, but insteadof dwelling on the past, he’s build-ing off that experience.

“I have a lot of experience skat-ing in front of a home crowdthanks to Vancouver … It’s moreof a motivation for me to skate inCanada (and) I’m gonna be reallycomfortable with the rink,” he stat-ed.

This year’s event is a big precur-sor to next year’s Winter OlympicGames, as the results determinehow many entries each country cansend to participate.

“It would be really nice to win aWorld Championship going intothe Olympics,” said Chan.

Chan is still unsure as to wherehe wants to live and train whenpreparing for the 2014 Olympics.He originally had his heart set onColorado Springs, but is consider-ing moving his training base toDetroit. “I want to make a decisionthat’s going to be best for me, so Ican really skate my best at theOlympics with no weight on myshoulders, and be really happy.”Chan will wait until the Worlds areover to make his decision.

You can watch Chan perform hisShort Program on March 13 at 3:45p.m., and his Free Program onMarch 15 at 5:45 p.m.

Patrick Chan is readyto take on Worlds

Patrick Chan is hoping to skate his way to the top at the World FigureSkating Championships here in London this week.

The Lamborghini Gallardo hasbeen with us for nearly a decadenow, and it has gone down in his-tory as the highest volume seller inthe company’s 50-year life.

It is, however, no secret that itsreplacement is well under way.While there have been manyfacelifts and various spec modelsfor street and track use, there isonly so much the company can doto keep the rich interested in anaging model.

So next year, a new baby Lambowill be upon us (I’m not sure whatthey are going to call it – Lambonever reuses its old names). Whatwill it be like? I don’t know yet,but looking at the concepts thecompany produced in the late ’80sand mid-’90s makes me wish thecompany had done more babyLambos in the past.

While for most of the 1980s,Lamborghini offered a mid-engineV8 sports car called the Jalpa, itwas its proposed replacement that Itruly lust after: the P140 project.

The 1989 P140 was the first

Lamborghini to feature a V10engine. This motor displaced at 4.0litres and produced 370hp. Powerwent to the rear-wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox. Accordingto Lamborghini, the P140 wascapable of sprinting from zero to100 km/h in 5.0 seconds flat, andtop out at 299 km/h.

While the performance of thecar is quite impressive, its looksare what really grab my attention.Designed by Marcello Gandini,who has penned many otherLambos over the years (includingthe Countach and Diablo), theP140 certainly reflects Gandini’sother design masterpieces like theCizeta V16T and the BugattiEB110. In fact, the nose of theP140 is very similar to the proto-type version of the EB110. Onecould call it a junior version of theaforementioned supercars, but theoverall design and stance of theP140 is just brilliant.

Lamborghini was going througha tough time. Being run by theChrysler Corp. at the time keptmessing with its designs and dic-tating where the company shouldkeep its focus. This sadly meantthe P140 project was given the axe,which is a real shame.

However, the powertrain fromthis project tried to resurrect itself

in 1995 under the sleek body of anItalDesign concept.

The Lamborghini Cala wasunveiled at the 1995 GenevaMotor Show and received atremendously positive reception.Everyone in the motoring pressraved about it and expected it to gointo production. However, at thistime, Lamborghini was owned bythe Suharto family from Indonesia,who did not put much effort tobroaden the brand.

True to all ItalDesign concepts,the Cala was fully functional, andwas said to produce 400 hp fromthe P140’s 4.0-litre V10. The con-cept, which belongs to ItalDesign,even now takes the Cala out forsome publicity runs from time totime.

While I’m glad these conceptsstill exist (P140 resides in theLamborghini museum inSant’Agata, Italy), I wish morewas done with them. I wish boththe P140 and the Cala had goneinto production, and I am sure theywould have sold quite well.

So as Lamborghini turnstowards a new chapter of its babysupercar saga, let’s hope the newcar will be as visually stunning asthe concepts discussed here.

We seem to be hearing a lot ofquestions regarding protein as oflate. Should I take protein shakes?Will they help me build muscle?Are there side effects? Which oneis good? Where should I buy it? Isisolate protein better than regularwhey protein? These are typicalquestions that will be asked aroundthe fitness industry until the end oftime. That is because protein is oneof the macronutrients we need on adaily basis. Needless to say, pro-tein supplementation has beenaround for a very long time and itis here to stay.

I honestly believe protein sup-plementation can be a little confus-ing to the “average Joe” for onesimple reason: people often love toovercomplicate things. Like manythings, the answer is pretty muchsummed up in the phrase itself.Supplementation in the dietarysense is exactly that: you are“adding” something to your diet inorder to complete it. Maybe youdon’t eat enough fruits and vegeta-bles, so you supplement with amultivitamin to ensure you getyour vitamins and minerals.Vegetarians often take iron supple-ments because they don’t getenough iron due to the lack of meatconsumption. Protein supplemen-tation isn’t any different.

That being said, there are prettymuch two camps of people. Thefirst camp includes those who useprotein powders to make sure theyget enough protein on a daily basis.The second camp includes those

who use protein powders as analternative to a typical food proteinsource. Most of us are a combina-tion of the two. Now that we havethat straightened out, we can moveon to answering some other fre-quently asked questions. However,let’s not overcomplicate things.Let’s keep it simple!

Should I take protein shakes?Nobody can truly answer this ques-tion other than yourself. Maybeyou get enough protein from yourmeals and you’re easily meetingyour daily requirements. Maybeyou are an athlete or a weight lifterwho needs more protein and pow-ders offer a convenient way ofmeeting that demand. Most peopledon’t have multiple chickenbreasts and steak meals waiting forthem in their back pockets, and soprotein shakes are a way to ensurethey get this macronutrient on aconsistent basis.

Will it help me build muscle?Ask yourself, does protein buildmuscle? If you answered yes, thenyou are correct. Amino acids arethe building blocks of muscle andwe get these through dietary pro-tein. Meats and alternatives and,yes, protein shakes have the much-needed amino acids you are look-ing for.

Which one is good and are thereside effects? A good way of look-ing at it would be to considerwhich one is good for you anddoesn’t have any side effects.Protein powders have been aroundfor a long time now and they maypose some gastrointestinal or lac-tose issues for some individuals.These issues are usually minorand, for the most part, the lactosehas been refined and filtered to apoint that it isn’t a concern. Toomuch protein can make one gassy,

which is never fun. These areissues that are easily fixed by regu-lating your intake and finding theright brand.

Where should I buy it?Anywhere you can get it! SpartanNutrition downtown on RichmondStreet offers quality product andexpert advice from Aaron Brady,who has been looking afterFanshawe’s students for over adecade now. If you know what youwant, online shopping sites such assupplementsource.com offer greatrates and fast shipping.

Isolate whey protein or regularwhey protein? This is a never-end-ing debate. Basically, isolate wheyprotein is further processed and theresult is a more pure protein. Thedownside is that it comes with ahigher price tag. There are otherbenefits to isolate protein powders,however research has shown thatsome of these may be negligibleand not worth the extra money.Isolates may be a great alternativefor severely lactose intolerant indi-viduals due to the extensive refin-ing process.

Okay, thanks, but where do yousit on the whole idea of proteinsupplementations? This is oftenthe last question I get asked. Mytwo deciding factors when buyinga protein powder, in order ofimportance, are taste and price. Idon’t typically have any stomachissues, and if I ever do, I’ll simplymove on to a brand that doesn’tcause problems. I don’t get caughtup in all the isolate/regular hooplamyself. Until isolate prices becomesimilar to regular whey proteins,I’ll continue getting my aminoacids from the cheaper source. Buthey! Different strokes for differentfolks. I hope this helps you decidewhich protein is best for you.

The protein problem: What to buy?

The Montreal Impact started off well in a rare road win against Seattle.

Major League Soccer kicked offits 2013 season the first weekendin March, and even though it’s stillvery early, it wouldn’t hurt tomake some observations about theCanadian teams in the competition.

Montreal Impact looked themost promising after their 1-0 winover the Seattle Sounders on theWest Coast. Montreal had onlywon two games on the road lastseason, but looked at home withhow they controlled large portionsof the match. They played a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Canadian PatriceBernier sitting between the mid-field and defenders. He workedwell in that system, stopping manyattempted attacks by Seattle.

Really, Montreal has been puttogether player by player: gettingthe best available player for eachposition, and then assessing howthey should play together later. Itworks well because players likeJustin Mapp, Davy Arnaud andFelipe Martins are versatile playerswho fit a number of different roles.This also bodes well for secondhalf adjustments.

Oh, and did I mention Italianlegends Marco Di Vaio andAlessandro Nesta? After that firstgame, this team looks destined forthe playoffs.

Irony is on the minds ofVancouver Whitecaps fans afteropening weekend. Over the pasttwo years, the team has struggleddefensively, and now MLS All-Star Jay DeMerit may be out forthe entire season; he ruptured hisAchilles tendon less than 10 min-

utes into their game againstToronto FC. They won the game 1-0 and kept a clean sheet, but theywill face more explosive teamsthan Toronto over the next 30-oddgames and need to find a replace-ment for DeMerit. Luckily their 4-2-3-1 formation gave them enoughlines of defense to alleviate somepressure on their central defence,where DeMerit typically plays.

Manager Martin Rennie startedDarren Mattocks (a quick strikerwith a great touch) and KekutaManneh (a rookie with greatspeed) on the sides of the attackingmidfielders.

The goal came from a quick passmade by talented playmaker DaigoKobayashi at the top of the box.Gershon Koffie finished it off,hammering the ball into the bottomright corner.

The team knows each other real-ly well at this point, and not havingsuch drastic roster turnover theyhave really created a good team.

Even though TFC lost their firstgame, it was an encouraging lossfor a team that has no expectationsfor this season whatsoever. Theyadded Welsh international RobertEarnshaw days before this game ashe played up top by himself in a 4-5-1 set up. He played just fine con-sidering he was likely not in fullfitness.

Meanwhile, draft pick KyleBekker played slightly ahead ofthe five midfielders and lookedvery promising in an offensiveposition. Bekker has brought withhim a creative mind and it showedin the game as he made severalcrafty passes (including a fewchips into space that made mebecome giddy with joy). Overall,the only Canadian team that lostbut has a lot of things to look for-ward to.

Major LeagueSoccer is back!

Lamborghini concepts thatshould have been produced

Their season ended with a toughloss in the bronze semi-final matchto the Algonquin Thunder.Fanshawe’s men’s basketballteam, who dominated OntarioColleges Athletic AssociationWest Division throughout the year,ran into some trouble in the finalfew weeks of the regular season.Injury after injury held back keystarting players. The Falcons man-aged to hang on to clinch thirdplace in the West, after sufferingfour straight losses in the secondhalf of their season. They gradual-ly regained their momentumtowards the end of the season andfinished the regular season off by

winning three straight games. Their momentum, however, hit a

speedbump with yet anotherinjury. The men finished theirquarter-final game against GeorgeBrown with a convincing win of77-49, only to lose their star pointguard and primary offensive driverBoyd Vassell to an ankle injury.

“It was really painful to end theseason off like we did, we had a lotof potential, luckily Chevaun(Miller-Bennett) really stepped itup and tried to fill the offensivegap that we were missing in thesemi-finals,” said forward OlaleyeOjo.

Boyd wouldn’t return for theirnext game against Sheridan, norwould he return for the bronze

medal semi-final match up againstAlgonquin. Without Boyd, therewas an obvious offensive absencefor which no one could replace. Inthe semi-final game againstSheridan (who would go on to winthe OCAA championship), theFalcons were taken by surprisewhen Sheridan switched up theirplaying style to a full court presswhich ultimately led to theFalcons’ early exit. The press put alot of pressure on the Falcons,whose offense deteriorated quick-ly. It was a hard-fought match, anddespite the loss of two key startersthe Falcons managed to pull within16 points of Sheridan to end the

game with a 77-61 loss. Ojo, an exchange student from

Nigeria, was grateful to have hadthe ability to play this season withthe team. “I came really late in theseason, and the team was reallygreat. We came together, and nextyear I’ll be back and we will bebetter than ever and ready to takeon Provincials again.”

Despite a disappointing end to ahot season, the men finished theregular season with a solid recordof 14 wins and 6 losses. A greatway to start off new head coachTony Marcotullio’s coachingcareer at Fanshawe.

Women snag silver and head to NationalsFanshawe’s women’s basketball

coach Matt White went into theOntario Colleges AthleticsAssociation provincial champi-onship at Humber College withtwo goals in mind: to win provin-cials and qualify for nationals.They achieved one of them.

The women’s team won theirticket to the Canadian CollegiateAthletic Association championshipin Truro, Nova Scotia. All it tookwas an outstanding season and twobig wins at the OCAAs, resultingin a silver medal finish.

The women dominated the regu-lar season coming out strong andfinishing with a fabulous 16-2record, edging Algoma for the topspot in the OCAA West Division.

The women started off theOCAAs with a huge win againstrivals the Humber Hawks, who hadhome court advantage. The gamewas more than just a semi-final: itwould mean the differencebetween advancing to the gold-medal game and qualifying for theNational Championship.

White prepared the girls forwhat to expect from Humber. “Weknew Humber would play well andthey would be playing in front ofhome fans. We expected a rowdyenvironment, and we just wantedto focus on the court and what we

were trying to do,” he said.And focus they did. The Falcons

battled it out against the Hawks,narrowly defeating them 67-63.Janine DeLeon came up big forFanshawe, landing a crucial three-pointer with 30 seconds left in thegame to secure the win. DeLeonwas named MVP of the game.

Two other Falcon players’ skillswere duly noted. Point guardFelicia Mazerolle and centreNatasha Amo were chosen as FirstTeam All-Stars, they were two ofsix players named.

Despite the loss in the finals toAlgonquin, White was pleasedwith their performance.

“Once we got into the finals, wewere a little more relaxed, and weran into a very determinedAlgonquin team.”

Mazerolle played a fantasticfinal match with eight points, tworebounds, one assist and one stealafter the first half.

After two days of rest, thewomen returned to practice inpreparation for the NationalChampionships, which takes placefrom from March 13 to 16 atDalhousie University.

“Personally, I’m just excited forthe girls. This will be a first-timeexperience for me and it’s one Ihope to be able to go back toagain,” said White.
