    Green buildinggets Gold

    Even when its blanketed in snow,Westerns campus is still green.

    The Canada Green BuildingCouncil awarded a Gold certificationto the Claudette MacKay-LassondePavilion last month, recognizing it asan environmentally sustainablebuilding.

    The certification came as part ofthe Leadership in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design initiative, a third-party certification program thatrates developments on various envi-

    ronmental aspects.Wed never design a building

    thats not energy efficient, said MikeDeJager, project manager of facili-ties engineering for Westerns Phys-ical Plant department. The LEEDinitiative now is a method of mea-suring that.

    The Pavilion is the second build-ing in London to earn a LEED certi-fication, which comes in one of fourlevels basic certification, Silver,Gold and Platinum.

    The university is also applyingfor LEED certification for a total ofseven other projects, including therenovations to the Physics andAstronomy Building, the Stevenson-Lawson Building and the McIntoshGallery.

    In addition to these projects,DeJager said all future constructionon Westerns campus is nowrequired to meet at least LEED Sil-ver standards.

    We will strive to do better thanSilver if we can, but Silver is the min-imum.

    Campus police report

    zero car theftsMotor vehicle theft might be a carowners greatest fear. Luckily itsvery rare at least on campus.

    In the past six months, campuspolice have recorded a grand total ofzero motor vehicle thefts. In 2008,

    1,439 motor vehicle thefts occurredin London, translating to a rate of408 thefts per 100,000 cars, slightlyabove the national rate.

    Campus Community Police Ser-vices director Elgin Austen creditedthis low rate to Westerns structuredenvironment, where people lookafter each other.

    Patrols, cameras and the con-stant presence of people willing toreport crime are the key, he said.

    Despite the absence of car theftson campus, Austen advised usingcommon sense as a precaution.Remembering to lock your vehicle,not leaving it idling while you leave,locking up valuables out of sight,and joining neighbourhood watchesmay help keep your vehicle safer.

    Bike thefts, however, dont boastsuch a clean record.

    Although arrests were made inthe past to break up a suspectedbike-stealing group, bike thefts con-tinue to occur at Western. Campuspolice are active in patrolling,though, especially in the warmermonths when more people ride toclass.

    In line with the think-tanks slo-gan, Where evidence meetsactions, CPNet@Western hopes toprovide timely, evidence-basedanswers for policy-makers.

    CPNet@Western has the poten-tial to create new policy pathwaysthat will encourage the academiccommunity to promote its researchand ideas to policy makers, AmitChakma, Westerns president, said ina press release.

    In the field of healthcare, thethink-tanks priorities includehuman resources, system designand management, leadership, andcollaboration. Issues of efficiencyand sustainability underpin theinterests of the think-tank.

    Copyright fee hike avertedAccess Copyright appealing tentative deal

    Corey Stanford GAZETTE

    AS IF THESE WERENT ALREADY OVERPRICED. A potential hike to course pack costs could be coming as a copyright distri-

    bution agency seeks to increase fees from $3.38 to $45.

    Aaron Zaltzman

    GAZETTE STAFF

    The long-fought battle over copy-right fees between Access Copyrightand post-secondary institutions iscontinuing even longer after aninterim agreement was approved bythe Copyright Board of Canada.

    Access Copyright, a group whichacts as a distributing agencybetween post-secondary institutionsand publishers, has been involved ina debate with schools for the lastseveral months over how much itcan charge for copyrighted materi-als like those found in course packs.

    The previous agreement, whichwas in effect from 2004 to 2011,called for universities to pay AccessCopyright $3.38 per full-time equiv-alent student, plus 10 cents per pagefor course packages, to be generatedfrom student fees. For the new deal,Access Copyright has boosted thatfee to $45.

    However, Access Copyright hastaken steps to avoid having to reacha new agreement with universities,opting instead to appeal to theCopyright Board of Canada toimpose a binding tariff.

    Theyve asked for a hugeincrease in the fee that theyre col-lecting that we would have neverhave gotten close to in a negotiateddeal [with universities], StephenJarrett, legal counsel for Western,said.

    Western law professor SamuelTrosow said under the old agree-ment, most of Access Copyrightsrevenue came from the 10 cents perpage for course packs. The problemnow, he said, is that physical coursepacks are not as widely used.

    There are so many alternativemechanisms of distributing coursematerials these days, including onthe internet, he said. The new $45fee proposal would ensure revenuefor Access Copyright on these digitalcopies.

    Many groups have opposed thisnew deal, among them the CanadianFederation of Students and theCanadian Association of UniversityTeachers, who have filed an objec-tion to the interim tariff and AccessCopyrights new proposal.

    It is too much, its too expansiveand it covers things that arent copy-right at all, said David Fewer, presi-dent of the Canadian Internet Policy

    and Public Interest Group, whichfiled the complaint on behalf of CFSand CAUT. Access Copyright saysthat just because youre in a class-room and asked to read [material]then you should pay for it again.

    Access Copyrights appeal hasput Western in a tough position. Ifthe $45 tariff passes, it will applyretroactively back until 2011. This ledto a decision in June by the univer-sity to impose a fee of $15 per semes-ter on each student, despite no actu-al increase to the fee Western pays.

    If the eventual tariff that isimposed is less than what [the Uni-versity] has collected, the money willbe returned to students in somemanner, said Jarrett.

    While some universities havedecided to completely opt out ofagreements with Access Copyrightand pursue other means of access-ing material, Western did not.

    We determined [] that wewerent in a position to simply gowithout Access Copyright, and still beable to provide services to the stu-dents that we had been, Jarret said.

    According to Jarret, a workinggroup has been set up to look foralternatives to Access Copyright.

    Ever considered transferring into acollege system before finishing youruniversity degree? An announce-ment made Monday by the Govern-ment of Ontario may soon makethat transition much easier.

    Currently, students hoping totransfer from university to collegeprograms, or vice versa, face numer-ous complications when it comes tokeeping the credits theyve already

    earned.Part of this is due to a lack ofinformation combined with a lack ofagreements between institutions,according to John Milloy, Minister ofTraining, Colleges, and Universities.

    Weve been hearing from stu-dents continuously about their frus-trations, he noted. They often haveto repeat courses, even repeat awhole year.

    Now the provincial governmenthopes to begin reducing these com-plications by implementing newagreements between institutions to

    regulate the transfer of credits.Milloy explained the plan is two-

    fold: providing more informationand guidance for students so theyare aware of their options, and sup-porting institutions in creating newagreements to make transfers easier.

    Were going to be holding themaccountable to meet those targets,but were also going to be providingthem with some extra resourcesbecause it does cost them money toput together these different agree-ments and pathways between col-

    leges and universities, he explained.Meaghan Coker, president of theOntario Undergraduate StudentAlliance, was delighted by the newplan.

    The announcement is tremen-dous and I think its a great firstmove towards this province-widecredit transfer system, she said, butadded she felt there are even moreopportunities for progress, such asmaking a university-to-universitytransfer system more accessible tostudents.

    But, I think that the government

    wanted to tackle this one first and Ithink that theres still a lot of work tobe done.

    Coker noted part of the benefit tocreating easier transfers betweencolleges and universities is breakingdown the distinction between thetwo paths of education.

    Its really going to be trying tostreamline the system and havingcolleges and universities work bet-ter together, rather than the waytheyve been doing.

    While Western has an agreement

    with Fanshawe College for studentstransferring between the twoschools, it varies case-by-case,according to Glen Tigert, associateregistrar. He hoped the new effortsby the government would maketheir process easier.

    I think probably the most signif-icant benefit would be those stu-dents that are considering universi-ty. If the pathway would be moredefined from college to university itdoes help them in terms of leavingmore options open.

    Dropped referendum

    disheartens WUSC

    with the decision to nix the referen-dum.

    Steven Bigioni, kinesiology coun-cillor, was disappointed that coun-

    cillors voted to withdraw the refer-endum question.

    I hate to see the USC impedingthe progress of a club its supposedto support, as well as further dis-tance itself from the strides alreadybeing made by other universities inOntario.

    He commented WUSC should bepraised, not penalized for having theinitiative to lobby for a fee andhoped other clubs would take noteof this possibility.

    I see no problem letting studentsdecide for themselves if theyd like aportion of their student fees go tosupport a particular club, and whatbetter forum to decide than in a ref-erendum?

    Felice noted the reaction to thereferendum idea was positive whenit was introduced in November, butsaid they soon began to see the ram-ifications of their decision, whichhad long-term consequences theywerent comfortable with.

    Felice said he was proud of theFinance Standing Committee forbeing able to retract their initial deci-sion.

    Not many politicians would dothe same thing, Felice said. Our job

    is to ensure that all finance relatedissues are handled fairly, and itwould be a disservice to Westernstudents to let a previous motioncontinue if we felt it was a mistake.

    Dan Ferris, a social science coun-

    cillor who seconded last weeksmotion, noted he wasnt surprisedthe new motion passed.

    I was a bit worried there wouldbe a lack of understanding or peoplemay find the motions too complex,but I figured once they understoodthe pragmatism in our explanation,they would agree this was a prudentresponsible decision.

    While the referendum questionhas been withdrawn, part of themotion passed Wednesday nightextended the current agreementWUSC has with the USC to supportthe refugee student. Funds from theoperating budget will continue to beallocated to WUSC in order toensure the refugee student is able to

    complete his degree. The extensionwill terminate once the student hasgraduated, unless WUSC applies formore funding.

    Obviously this news is a bit dis-heartening, since the WUSC hadhoped to begin increasing the num-ber of refugee students at UWO overthe next five years, Felice said. ButI hope this is a goal they will be ableto achieve if a levying system isimplemented next year or throughother fundraising initiatives.

    Re: The Dundas dilemma(Jan. 7, 2011)

    To the Editor:

    As a resident of London for over eight years I have a growing frustrationtowards the London Transit Commission.They offer poor service and have norecourse for the poor service. The busesare often late, early or they do not bothercoming at all. When I call in to the LTC tofile a complaint I am often met with acommon response that boils down to thedrivers of the LTC are in a union andthere is little that can be done.

    Last winter, the LTC inconveniencedresidents of London with their strike astrike that basically came down to theLTC drivers wanting more money for a

    job that they do poorly.When the LTC employees came back

    to their jobs the service had not improvedeven though their wages did.

    Now London is planning to furtherinconvenience the people who pay totake the bus. We transit takers are goingto be asked to move a block over to avacant area that is poorly lit and notnearly as busy which compromises the

    safety of the people waiting for the bus.I would rather London Transit take themoney that they have proposed this wouldcost and put it towards actions that wouldbenefit, rather than inconvenience theirriders. Such improvements could includeoffering more consistent service, extend-ing hours and providing some account-ability for the actions of their drivers.

    My only hope is that riders of the LTCmerge their voices together to protest thisaction. To demand that someone lookafter our needs rather than just their ownfor political gain and favour. And to holdthe London Transit Commissionaccountable to its very own mandate: Topromote and support the developmentand delivery of accessible public transitservices in London.

    Whether its overbuying at the grocery store ortossing out leftovers from take-out, lets face it we all waste food.

    Its easy to look at this wastefulness as abyproduct of modern North American con-sumerism. We live in a buy more, spend more,waste more society.

    Students, with our tight budgets and hecticlifestyles, are prime offenders when it comes towasting food. Think about student houses withfridges full to the brim and no one even remem-bers who bought what, or when. For busy stu-dents, convenience often trumps better decision-making when it comes to food choices.

    Unfortunately, fixing food waste on campusor in society isnt as simple as turning off a lightbulb. Because when food spoils, its just trash,whereas conserving energy has an immediateimpact on your hydro bill.

    So how do you encourage people, and studentsin particular, to start composting? The ideal way since on our own, were too busy and preoccupied is a top-down approach.

    At Western, that means implementing a cam-pus-wide composting solution. If its convenient,students will use compost bins. It eases any guiltwe might have about our apathy and leaves uswith the warm fuzzies. So why not?

    But education about composting is also key. Itshard to care about it if students dont even knowthe point. Perhaps an awareness campaign coupledwith an increased number of compost bins aroundcampus would wake people up to the cause.

    Changing packaging materials is also crucial.

    Unfortunately, the more steps it takes to compostsomething, the less likely people are to do it. Buthaving biodegradable plates would let peopledrop them off in the compost bin in a swiftmotion, saving time and effort.

    Overall, these potential initiatives which serveto raise awareness and increase convenience echo the prior push for recycling. What was onceseen as unusual is now commonplace, thanks tolocal governments stepping in to encourage andeducate the public. Now, its hard to imagine folksnot putting a blue box on the curb each week.

    When it comes to composting, that mental shiftis crucial to making more people hop on thebandwagon. On campus, all it will take is a pushfrom above to get the ball rolling then students

    have to do the rest. The Gazette Editorial Board

    FOOD WASTE

    LTC needs to cater

    to their customers

    If youve made it to university, yourehopefully smart enough to know how alittle website called Facebook works.You post things, often very personalthings, for the world to see. Privacy set-tings aside, its clearly a public forum.

    So it baffles me when students aresurprised to be disciplined for their con-duct on sites like Facebook.

    The University of Calgary punished twostudents after they wrote disparagingremarks about a prof on their Facebookpage. And some nursing students at a com-munity college in the States were bootedout then allowed back after posting pic-tures of them posing with a placenta.

    Both instances sound harsh, but fromthe perspective of an academic institu-tion, these students were negativelyaffecting the reputation of their schools.Thats just bad business.

    In the real world, people are repri-manded or even sacked at jobsbecause of personal posts on socialmedia. CNNs Rick Sanchez got fired after

    he quipped on Twitter that the TV indus-try is run by Jews, for example. AndCaitlin Davis, an 18-year-old cheerleaderfor the New England Patriots, was kickedoff the team for Facebook photos show-ing her questionable behaviour at a party.

    Its a stretch to say that a student beingdismissed is equal to employees beingfired. But I would argue that students arerepresenting their school much likesomeone represents a company, mediaoutlet or other brand.

    If you want to keep your pictures pri-vate, get an old-school photo album. Andif you want to keep your thoughts private,start a diary. Theres no such thing as realprivacy on the internet.

    Students ought to learn that now since employers are even less forgiving

    than academics. Lauren Pelley

    Universities have become paranoidschizophrenics, obsessed with theirimage and increasingly interested inmonitoring students to avoid embarrass-ment or scandal.

    But universities, like governments,have no place in our bedrooms orhouses, or bars, or Facebook accounts. Itis, of course, unwise to post silly pictureswith your friends where any nosey supe-rior could find them. And if they judge

    you as a person, so be it.But using private lives to judge public

    ones is unfair. People get drunk, takeunflattering pictures and act stupid withtheir friends. These people are also pro-fessionals, academics and strong con-tributors to society who deserve theirprofessional lives to be judged accord-ingly. Our private lives mistakes and all have surprisingly little bearing on ourwork in the professional world.

    With Facebooks popularity, itsinevitable that curious professors willuncover information about their students

    private lives. But the solution is to adjustour expectations, not our privacy settings.Its unreasonable to take someones

    private life, which is beholden to differ-ent rules and responsibilities, and applystandards from the professional world.

    Though were all guilty of impropri-ety, society demands we hide and ignorethese parts of our lives. Now that Face-book makes our private lives public,were given the opportunity to align ourexpectations with reality.

    Its not so bad that we drink. Its rea-sonable to expect some immature behav-iour even from professionals. If superi-ors uncover some tawdry details aboutour personal lives, they should accept, atleast begrudgingly, that this is part of thehuman condition. If they cant, log off

    Facebook and get back to work. Stuart A. Thompson

    The most dangerous kind of waste is the waste we do not recognize.

    CONTRIBUTOR

    Director: Justin Quesnelle

    Starring: Eva Blahut, Kathy Quayle

    and Sarah Hunter

    The Maids is an intense start to Pas-sionfools 2011 season. The cast ismade up of only three characters Madame and her two maids. Theplay depicts the psychological havoccaused by the oppression of being aservant in Paris during the late 40s.

    The maids, Solange and Claire,ritualistically act out a sadistic gameinvolving the murder of their mis-tress. The two exchange roles oneplays the Madame and the other, themaid and act out the perfect crime.The role-playing, however, becomesdangerous when the maids can nolonger distinguish between theirperformance and reality.

    The witty play, originally writtenby Jean Genet in French, is thrillingand is bound to provoke gasps fromthe audience. Its set in Madamesbedroom, where the maids method-ically go through their ritual. While itbegins calmly, the girls eventuallylose control as they release theirsuppressed emotions caused bytheir supposedly sinister and taunt-ing mistress.

    Since the plays central theme isturmoil, the set design and lightingeffectively portrays the change inmood. The use of a small theatrespace also helps create intimacybetween the audience members andthe actors, which draws everyoneinto the tangled web created by themaids.

    The characters social standingpresents the audience with a moraldilemma. The maids dialoguereveals the humiliation of being partof the working class in France, andas such its hard to tell whether the

    audience should feel compassion fortheir situation or scorn them fortheir bad intentions. Madamesinsults are said with an insinceresmile, which increases the maidsalready vengeful minds and probesthem to continue the ritual of role-playing, attempting multiple timesin reality to murder their mistress.

    Although the play is relatively fast-paced, there are a few slowermoments done for the sake of dra-matic emphasis. The dialogue is cleverand reveals the injustices they havesuffered and their mistress most inti-mate details. The ending ofThe Maidsis intense and is another impressiveproduction by Passionfool.

    The actors believability will pull you into their tangled thoughts,diminishing all lines between realityand the world of ones imagination.

    The Maids will be playing from Jan.19 to 22 at 8 p.m. and Jan. 15 and 22 at 2p.m. The Arts project is located at 203Dundas St.

    Colour Bars A Horse & His Boy

    Like good coffee or strong booze, A Horse & His Boy is anacquired taste one that turns from bitter to sweet toaddictive after several tries. The bands front man AaronSolomon squawks and yelps through most of ColourBars an arpeggio-heavy single from this London-native five-piece electro rock band.

    Like songs from their debut self-titled CD, which wonCHRWs Album of the Year 2009, Colour Bars is a com-plex layered song. Persistent synths (and there are many)play like Nintendo rock while Tyler Heffernans affected,

    nuanced guitar noodles coyly overtop.But its most redeeming and stuck-in-your-headqualities are the dual vocals from Solomon and howlingsinger Nathan Noble, whose more palatable and crafti-er vocals wrap around Solomons yelps like a goldenpatina. Find it online at myspace.com/ahahb.

    OMG The Streets

    British musician Mike Skinner, better known by his aliasThe Streets, will release his fifth album in February, andit looks promising.

    OMG, an upbeat pop song from the album, is aboutthe nature of social networks, particularly Facebookdynamics.

    The song fits nicely under the albums title Comput-ers and Blues. It offers a strong contrast with both femaleand male vocals and varying tempos in the verses andchorus.

    OMG is catchy enough to be on mainstream radiostations, unlike most of The Streets usual rap based elec-tronic songs, but is still able to maintain a unique sound.

    Although it started as a group project, The Streets hasbeen a one-man act for the last seven years. Computersand Blues isthe final album to be recorded by The Streets.

    Broken Dreams Club

    True Panther Records

    Christopher Owens and his SanFrancisco-based pop band havefinally released their second majorrecording, Broken Dreams Club.

    As a drifter for much of his lifeafter leaving a cult as a teen, Owenshas a lot of life experience to drawupon. However, on this effort hewisely skips many of these deepissues and writes cheerful, brightsing-along melodies about pastlovers and broken hearts.

    BDCs sound differs from Girlsfirst effort, Album. While otherinstruments are evident throughoutthe album, the addition of horns isprominent in the opener Thee OhSo Protective One and continuesthrough the record. This adds a layerof counter-melody to Owens guitarnot apparent in his first album.

    Carolina is the most ambitiousrecording by Girls to date. The trackis almost eight minutes and is ahybrid of songs. It seamlessly blendstogether a Pink Floyd-influencedsound, neo-psychedelia FlamingLips and Surfer Blood summer rock.

    If California beach pop-rocksounds appealing, you will definite-ly dig this EP by up-and-comersGirls.

    Jenn Grants latest release Honey-moon Punch is an album for the wist-ful and light-hearted.

    A thoughtful collection of loveand consideration, Grant uses hersecond album to experiment withher already established style.

    The singers Nova Scotian rootscan be heard in every track. Thoughshe is a solo artist, Grants styleresembles that of Tegan and Sara anda bit of Florence and The Machine.

    Honeymoon Punch is a refreshingchange from the overbearing dance-pop and club anthems taking overthe airwaves.

    Oh My Heart is a playful open-er, backed by tambourines and ahorn ensemble. Tracks like How IMet You, Getcha Good and Par-liament of Owls pick up the speed ofthe album giving it a carefree feeling.

    For melancholic moments, themelodies of Paradise Mountain,All Year and Stars to Waves aremore suiting.

    Grants music has been heard onmany television series includingHeartland, Mercyand Greys Anato-my. So whether youre feeling wist-ful or light-hearted, give HoneymoonPunch a chance. Jenn Grant is sureto be a hit in both the Canadian andInternational music markets.

    Arts & Crafts label-mates The MostSerene Republic. Originally from Mil-ton, Ontario, the five-piece ensembleplayed an opening set that seemedheavily influenced by Broken SocialScenes sound and style. The crowdwas relatively responsive, butappeared to subdue most of theirenergy in anticipation of the main act.

    And Broken Social Scene did notdisappoint, playing a set over twohours long that included olderfavourites such as Anthems for aSeventeen Year-Old Girl, as well asmaterial from their latest album For-

    giveness Rock Record.At times the concert became a

    mellow, almost quiet environmentfeaturing one or two artists, only tobecome a massive wall of sound afew songs later as a dozen or so band

    members drifted on and offstage.Broken Social Scene provided a

    unique concert experience for theiraudience during each performance.The bands line-up tends to changeon a regular basis, as their musicalefforts are governed by a philosophyof collective creativity.

    While a core group of membershas remained throughout the bandsdecade-long history, a number offamous Canadian musicians havealso contributed to the bands fivestudio albums and live perfor-mances. Artists such as TomCochrane, Feist, Metrics EmilyHaines, and Stars Amy Millan andEvan Cranley have all been associ-ated with Broken Social Scene, andthe group has featured anywherefrom six to 19 musicians onstage at

    one time. Also notable are the num-ber of solo projects that have result-ed from the groups success, espe-cially those of founder Kevin Drew.

    Sundays performance followedin the same collective vein, as Apos-tle of Hustle frontman AndrewWhiteman played throughout theentire set, and the man in charge oftuning the bands guitars actuallybecame part of the show during aninstrumental piece. Members ofopening band The Most SereneRepublic also joined the rest of thegroup onstage to play the brass sec-tion of fan favourite 7/4 Shoreline.

    The show left many hoping thatBroken Social Scene will return toLondon in a much shorter timethan the 10 years it took for them toplay here.

    Sportsrundown >> The Mustangs mens volleyball teams unbeaten streak has come to an end > The Mustangs lost to McMaster three sets to one. Despite the loss, the Mus-tangs remain in first place | The Mustangs womens volleyball team also fell to the Marauders, losing their match 3-2.

    factattackThird time is the charm. It has been reported that MinnesotaVikings quarterback Brett Favre has filed retirement papers withthe NFL. This definitely isnt the first time Favre has done this,and we have a feeling it wont be the last.

    Baker puts up three

    points in physical winMegan McPhaden

    CONTRIBUTOR

    It was only the warm-up, but if thisgame was any indication, the JackFrost Cup was going to be a classic.

    Friday nights showdown betweenthe Western mens hockey team andthe Lakehead Thunderwolvesproved to be a messy one, but theMustangs came out on top 3-1.

    Knowing Western was the bestin the league, we knew we needed toplay mistake-free hockey, and wedidnt do it, Lakehead coach JoelScherban said.

    Going into the two-game series,Lakehead was breathing down West-erns neck in the Ontario UniversityAthletics standings, only four pointsbehind the first-place Mustangs.

    But the Mustangs opened up thescoring early in the first period whenthe line of Keaton Turkiewicz, KevinBaker and Aaron Snow combinedfor a three-on-one offensive rush.Thunderwolves goalie Alex Dupuis

    made the initial stop, but Snowjumped on the rebound for his 11thof the season.

    The Thunderwolves came out inthe second looking for the equalizerand Adam Sergerie found it, beatingMustangs goalie Anthony Grieco totie the game. Shortly after the goal,a controversial hit left Snow injuredand out for the rest of the game.

    More controversy ensued a fewminutes later, when a desperateLakehead defender threw his stick toprevent a Western scoring chance,giving Western a penalty shot.Defenceman Scott Aarssen wasgiven the task of scoring, but hecouldnt beat Dupuis.

    Western would get their goaleight minutes into the third whenBaker and Turkiewicz createdanother odd-man rush. Turkiewiczwas able to capitalize, putting theMustangs up for good.

    Baker added an insurance goalinto an empty net to secure the vic-tory.

    It was a huge win. Lakehead fin-ishes hard on every team, Mustangsassistant coach Pat Powers said.

    It is still a long road ahead for theMustangs if they plan on being con-tenders at nationals, but they are onthe right track, sitting atop the OUA

    West.Our goal is to win nationals, one

    step at a time coming out hard andready to compete every game, andmaking sure we work hard in prac-tice to bring intensity, Mustangsdefenceman Jason Swit said.

    I BET YOU WISH YOUR SCHOOL GAVE YOU A TROPHY. Mustangs goaltender

    Anthony Grieco turned away 35 of 36 shots from Lakehead en route to Westerns

    3-1 victory.

    The weekend sweep over Lakehead

    wasnt all good news for the Mus-

    tangs mens hockey team. While

    they created a seven point lead over

    the second placed Laurier Golden

    Hawks, they also lost a key player forthe remainder of the season.

    Forward Aaron Snow, who was

    named to the Canadian team for the

    World University Championships to

    be played at the end of January, was

    hit hard in the second period of

    game one of the series and didnt

    return. Medical tests showed that he

    tore both his ACL and MCL, two of

    the major ligaments in the knee.

    The injury means Snow will be

    out for at least eight months and will

    struggle to be ready in time for the

    next season.

    Snow was the teams leading

    scorer with 11 goals and 12 assists,

    forming one half of a potent offen-

    sive duo with Keaton Turkiewicz

    since they both joined the team two

    years ago. It is a huge blow to the

    Mustangs who were intent on mak-

    ing a run at the national title in

    March.

    CONTRIBUTOR

    Once again, the Mustangs havebrought the prestigious Jack Frost

    Cup back home.The Mustangs mens hockeyteam was nearly flawless duringtheir Saturday night victory versusthe Lakehead Thunderwolves. TheMustangs picked up right wherethey left off Friday night with a 4-1victory.

    Theyre one of the top teams inthe country, Western coach ClarkeSinger said about Lakehead. Theyare our biggest rival so its nice tohave a couple of good games againstthem.

    It took the Mustangs less thantwo minutes to score their first goal.Steve Reese centered the puck frombehind the net to Jason Furlong,who jammed his own rebound past

    Lakehead goaltender Alex Dupuis.The Thunderwolves answered backwith a powerplay goal near the endof the first period.

    Early in the second, Mustangsright-winger Josh McQuade buriedhis own rebound after his initial shotringed off the crossbar. Kevin Bakeradded to the lead with his 11th goal ofthe season.

    Lakehead coach Joel Scherbancalled a timeout after his team wentdown by two, but Lakeheads inabil-ity to score made a comebackimpossible.

    Mentally we have to be better,Scherban said. I think our skillsetmatches up well against them. Wehad lots of chances, but for whatev-er reason we couldnt buy a goal off

    them either last night or tonight.Mustang goalie Josh Unice felthis defence shut down Lakeheadstalented forwards all game.

    They were blocking shots.[Lakehead] had a lot of qualitychances in the slot that never evengot to the net, he said. I felt goodout there but it wouldnt have beenpossible without the defence.

    Keaton Turkiewicz buried anempty netter with a minute left tocap the scoring for Western.

    At the end of the game, bothteams lined up on the blue line forthe presentation of the Jack FrostCup. This game marked the fourthanniversary of a game that seems tobe of no relevance to anyone.

    We didnt know what it was untilwe were told to line up after thegame, Scherban said. Honestly itdoesnt mean a thing.

    The Mustangs now head off toLaurier to take on a tough GoldenHawk team who handed the Mus-tangs their first regulation loss of theseason.

    It should be a hard foughtgame, Singer said. They were verygood in here last week so we learneda little bit from that game. We haveto go back there and play better thanwe did here.

    Piotr Angiel GAZETTE

    WERE GOING TO BRING THIS TROPHY TO THE BAR SO WE CAN PICK-UP TONIGHT. The Mustangs reclaimed the Jack Frost

    title this Saturday when they defeated the Lakehead Thunderwolves 4-1. It was a game of redemption for the Mustangs who

    lost their own Jack Frost Cup to Lakehead during the 2007-2008 season.
