Men outnumber women in senior management at UNB Alanah Duffy News Reporter Strained sunlight streams into the SUB ballroom through a wall of spotless glass windows. Inside the ballroom, a smartly dressed group of about 40 people gather, drinking wine and eating an array of finger food.

Elizabeth Parr-Johnston works her way around the room, sipping on a glass of wine and chatting easily with the attendees.

Parr-Johnston, 72, is celebrating her namesake, the Elizabeth ParrJohnston Residence. Until recently, the suite-style residence was known only as “New Res” among community members.

Parr-Johnston was the University of New Brunswick’s 16th – and only female – president.

“I’m still in a state of shock,” she says, laughing when asked about her thoughts on the ceremony. “This certainly was not something that I expected and when I was called about it, I said, ‘you’ve got to be kidding. You really have to be kidding.’

But no, they were serious! I’m very honoured about it.”

W h ile t he na m ing ceremony celebrates Parr-Johnston’s term as president and vice-chancellor (she served from 1996 until 2002), it also celebrates her successes as a female. She holds two degrees from Yale University and has a certificate from Harvard Business School. She also received an Order of Canada in 2008.

Carol Loughrey, president of the UNB Associated Alumnae, speaks highly of Parr-Johnston’s accomplishments and her role as a mentor for women.

“I think that every time a woman is in a position of power, other women see that the opportunities are there for them,” she says.

Since Parr-Johnston’s departure as president less than 10 years ago, the amount of women in positions of power at UNB has dwindled.

At the end of Parr-Johnston’s presidency, women held the positions of director of development and deans of graduate studies, computer science, law, nursing and education.

Now, of the ten faculties at UNB, only two have female deans (the faculties of nursing and education).

L oughrey says Parr-Johnston strived to create a welcoming environment for women when she was president.

“When people came to her with a shortlist of people that she might appoint [to senior positions] and there weren’t women on the list, she would send it back and say that it wasn’t acceptable.”

“You have to have people with different backgrounds, different experiences and different sk ills because all of that feeds into good

Campus bottled water sales up in wake of water crisis Alanah Duffy News Reporter

Ten new fountains have already arrived.

Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan

Sales numbers for bottled water on campus are up substantially from this time last year in the wake of lead being found in many UNB water fountains and sinks.

Sales from Sept. 15 to 25 of this year were 55 per cent higher than the same 10-day period in 2010, according to Sodexo.

“It’s not a surprising reaction – it’s what you would expect,” said James Brown, executive director of residential life, campus and conference

services.

The university first announced lead had been found in drinking water on Sept. 13. Since the announcement, more than 500 fountains and coldwater taps have been tested.

The most recent public update determined that just over 100 fountains and sinks contained lead exceeding normal levels.

Brown said all sinks associated with retail food outlets were tested and passed on the first try, with the exception of Marshall D’Avray Hall.

The sink was later tested and results deemed it safe to drink from and make

coffee with. The sink was shut down until Monday, but has since been reopened.

Although less than 30 per cent of sinks tested positive for lead, the water at UNB is still leaving a bad taste in students’ mouths.

“I think it’s scary – we come here to learn and have our brains grow, not to get messed up,” said Ethan Pierce, a third-year business student.

‘The civil rights movement of our time.’

Briana Hill CUP Ottawa Bureau Chief OTTAWA (CUP) — An estimated 100 people were arrested on Parliament Hill Sept. 26 as hundreds of citizens from across the country descended on Canada’s seat of government to protest the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and further development of Alberta’s oilsands.

Following a 10 a.m. rally around the Centennial Flame, waves of protesters began to peacefully scale the barricades set up by the RCMP on the lawn stretching up to Centre Block and sit on the grass on the other side.

“All together, there [were] over 30 waves of people that crossed this barricade and did a sit-in on the other side, and now one by one these very brave individuals are being arrested and processed by the RCMP,” estimated York University graduate student and oilsands activist Kimia Ghomeshi.

“I’m here today in solidarity with all the First Nations communities that are presently impacted by the tar sands and opposing the proposed pipeline that would come with the expansion of the tar sands,” she explained.

The action, or sit-in, was coordinated by several groups, including the Council of Canadians, Greenpeace Canada and the Indigenous Environmental Network and was billed as a publicly organized, peaceful act of civil disobedience that drew citizens

from all over the country.

“These people, the reason they’ve come here today is because they realize that we’ve come to a point where we need to escalate ... all these actions we were taking before were being disregarded by the federal government, so it’s time for us to be more creative if we want change to happen,” said Ghomeshi.

University of Guelph student Cassy Andrew made her way to Ottawa to participate in what she called “an extremely important action.”

“The bottom line is that resources are being destroyed and depleted and once that’s done we can’t go back,” she said. “We’re risking the lives of billions of people, depleting a resource such as water, in exchange for oil, when we should be moving away from our dependency on oil.”

Minister of Natural Resources Joe Oliver released a statement on Sept.

26 supporting the Keystone XL pipeline with no mention of the protest.

“Canada’s energy sector is a cornerstone of our national economy and future prosperity ... revenues to government from the upstream oil and gas sector in 2010 totalled more than $16 billion,” it read.

“That’s money that supports Canada’s quality of life — including investments in health care, infrastructure and keeping taxes low for Canadian families. Currently, Canada’s oil sands directly employ 132,000 people and account for hundreds

“It’s a really, really destructive industry,” Carleton University student Espoir Manirambona said from the other side of the barricade. “I mean, it destroys more than it creates.

“I think most Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians, are already with us, and agree that we need a

sustainable economy — green jobs, which we can leave behind for our kids, not jobs that are fueled by an industry [that] destroys the environment,” Manirambona continued.

“If people really listen to the stories

of the people that are being affected by things like the tar sands and by climate change, then they’re not going to be able to just sit back and not do anything,” said Andrew.

“That’s why we’re risking arrest right now,” said Manirambona. “This is the civil rights movement of our time: climate justice.”

decision-making. Liz challenged the university to do that over and over again,” Loughrey says.

Parr-Johnston adds that while women may not have always been chosen for a position as a result of the search, having women on the list was an important principle.

“Ultimately, you pick the best person, but make sure that you have beaten the bushes significantly to come up with at least one qualified woman and then do your final search and make a recommendation,” she explains.

Current president and vice-chancellor Eddy Campbell says it’s important to have a well-rounded list of candidates when he searches for senior administrative positions.

“Our first priority is to find the strongest candidate. That being said, one of the things that we ask our search consultant is to do their best to ensure our pool of candidates is representative in terms of gender and race,” Campbell says in an e-mail.

“If a list of candidates was presented to me that contained all men or all women, I would definitely have some questions as to why.”

Sitting behind her desk in a bright blue blazer, Shirley Cleave looks hard at work. The associate vice-president academic is one of the only women at UNB in a senior management role.

When asked about the presence of women on the Fredericton campus,

Cleave says she doesn’t think the lack of women in power at UNB is deliberate, but instead, just the way things worked out.

“Often, people in the community will come up to me about the fact that there aren’t other women in senior leadership roles and there aren’t any women on our university management committee, which is a level above my position,” she says. “I acknowledge that this probably influences how the discourse happens, because I think that having both men and women in the conversation changes the way the conversation rolls out.”

She pauses for a moment, clasping her hands together on the wooden desk.

“And so, I think that it would be an advantage to have a strong female presence in our upper management,” she continues. “I don’t think that there’s any intention of gender bias.

I think it’s one of those things that, at this point we don’t have women, although we have had women in leadership roles in the past.”

Campbell says he’s aware of the lack of a female presence in senior positions at UNB. “I would like to see a better representation of women among our senior staff here at UNB, and it is something that will be considered as future positions are filled,” he writes.

According to last year’s enrolment numbers, 47 per cent were male students and 53 per cent were female students. However, among full-time faculty members, 58 per cent were

men and 42 per cent were women.

“I think it sets good role models for students to suggest that it is appropriate for women to aspire to those roles, whether you’re talking about having more women as faculty members or teaching senior courses,” Cleave says. “If women don’t see women in those roles, then they don’t aspire to those positions.”

Parr-Johnston says that she would try to mentor women when she held her presidency role.

“If you have a younger woman who is coming up in the system, reach out to her, bring her along, and help her,” she says. “I never made much public reference to it, but I did try to talk to and get to know the younger females in the faculty.”

“Mentoring is important, but it can’t be staged. You don’t need to have a formal mentoring program, but you do need to have an environment that is welcoming for women and gives them a hand up.”

Cleave says that looking back to history should set precedence for how the future will be.

“Over the past several decades, we have made progress towards gender equity in many areas of society, but we still have a considerable ways to go. Today’s young men and women need to recognize the progress that has been made by their mothers and grandmothers, but also continue to work towards true equity, including opportunities in senior leadership roles,” she says.

“If we are not diligent, both individually and collectively, gains that have been made in equal treatment and opportunities for women and men will be lost.”

Exposure to lead can have At a glance: Last Ideas that Matter lecture effects on the nervous systems FROM WATER PAGE 1 the nervous system and intellectual development. It can also stay in the body for up to 30 years following ingestion, according to Health Canada’s website.

Erin Gillespie, a third-year sociology major, said she’s not too fearful of effects like this, but wants to be on the safe side. She used to bring in a water bottle from home and fill it from a fountain on campus, but lately, she’s found herself buying more bottled water.

“The lead has deterred me from bringing my own water bottle,” she said. “I’ll eventually go back to bringing my own bottle, but I want to give the university time to sort out the bumps first.”

Another student, first-year arts major Jamie McKay, said she’ll be bringing her water from home instead

of buying bottled water or drinking from a fountain.

“I’m not really a big fountain drinker to begin with, but this made me even more paranoid,” McKay said.

“I think it’s kind of unprofessional that a university this big would have a problem like this.”

Brown said despite the caution that students have toward drinking from the fountain, water bottle sales will probably drop in the coming months.

“I think that the feeling that you need to buy bottled water will probably decline,” he said.

The university will be hosting an information session on water quality at UNB on Oct. 18 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the SUB Ballroom. Representatives from their external consulting firm, the university and the Department of Health will be on hand to answer questions pertaining to drinking water on campus.

Potential referendum to make statement about ancillary fees Hilary Paige Smith News Editor If the UNB Student Union can change its referendum bylaws in the coming months, it may become more difficult for the administration to impose ancillary fees without student’s consent.

UNBSU science representative Adam Melanson put forward a motion at Sunday’s council meeting to hold a referendum in the upcoming byelection to answer two questions about the Currie Center. The first would be asking students if there should be a referendum to pass ancillary fees. The second would be to ask students if they approve of the $150 recreation fee imposed this year.

“It’s not ‘do you agree with the Currie Center,’ but rather, the fee that we have to pay to support it,” Melanson said.

Mela nson added t hat he approached every student in the Blue Room in the SUB last week, asking them to sign a petition in favour of a referendum. All 30 students signed and the majority of them expressed

an interest in the issue.

Some debate and many questions followed, consuming the majority of the meeting. In the end, only one councillor voted against the idea of holding a referendum.

The referendum, however, will be a few months in the works.

Student Union president Jordan Thompson said the byelection, which takes place next week, might be too soon to raise awareness and increase voter turnout for a referendum.

Byelections typically have low voter turnout, but the general election isn’t until February, which could be leaving the referendum too late.

Instead, council voted to pass the motion, amended to ensure the referendum is held before the next general election. Council will be required to jump some policy hurdles because UNBSU bylaws don’t allow for referendums to be held independent of byelections or the general election.

Arts representative Cody Jack said it will take about two months to pass the policy through the policy committee and numerous readings at the council table.

“We meet on a weekly basis, to a certain extent, but it’s going to be difficult to get the committee to sit and get that hammered out within a week or two. The committee is the number one struggle in getting a bylaw changed, is getting them to write the report,” Jack said.

They plan on meeting with councillors beforehand and getting input to speed up the process.

Melanson said he was happy with the support he received from council

and thinks the referendum will be important to the student body.

“The Student Union had asked for a referendum from the university and they weren’t granted one. This is showing we’re going to take the initiative ourselves and we don’t necessarily need permission to do a referendum of our own student population,” Melanson said.

Councillors also made some slight changes to their budget for the 2011-2012 year to show support for

students who are struggling financially. Council approved the budget, but not before moving $1,000 from the $65,000 entertainment line and moving it to the food subsidy line, bringing it up to $7,000.

The food subsidy is for students who are struggling with debt and can’t afford food. They can apply for food subsidy funding and get gift cards to the grocery store.

Council meets again on Oct. 16 in SUB 103.

Council will need to sort through some policy issues, but they hope to hold a referendum before the general election next February. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan

Paved lots emptier than expected Cherise Letson Staff Writer Despite two newly paved parking lots on campus, many students are continuing to commit parking violations, Bruce Rogerson, director of Security and Traffic, said.

The lot beside BMO Field, formerly known as the Chapman Field dirtlot, was paved at a cost of $300,000. There is also a new parking lot beside the Currie Center.

Rogerson said this is because students like to park where it’s convenient for them.

“It’s human nature to want to be next to where you work, shop or study,” Rogerson said.

Rogerson said because students are not using these new lots, many are committing parking violations in other lots on campus. Students have been seen parking on lawns, blocking pathways, parking in visitor spots and tripleparking. He said he doesn’t understand why students get themselves stuck in crowded parking lots when there are empty lots available.

“They’re racing as far as I’m concerned. They arrived late or they haven’t allowed themselves enough time to get to where they’re going and therefore they park and run,” Rogerson said.

Rogerson said until students start taking advantage, Security and Traffic will continue to fine and tow those who commit parking violations. That aside, he said the money spent on paving the new lots wasn’t wasted.

“People complained about the nonpaved parking lot. Now they have a beautiful paved parking lot down at the BMO soccer field. And they have a real nice one down at the Currie Center, and we have cameras looking over those parking areas. Everything we’ve done to date has gone general instead of

designated parking, so all three categories – faculty, staff and students – have an opportunity based on a first come first serve,” Rogerson said.

Some students are still parking without a proper pass, Rogerson said.

He said these vehicles will continue to be fined, booted and towed. There are 200 vehicles on Rogerson’s “tow list” – vehicles that could be towed if they’re seen parking improperly on campus again.

He also said some students are frustrated with illegal parking.

“We always talk about the violators, but many students are upset that fellow students are bragging about the fact

that they have been able to park here for free. But then the student who has the permit is thinking to themselves ‘well you know, you are really depriving me of a space,’” Rogerson said.

Rogerson reminded students of other means of transportation.

“There’s cycling and walking. We put up more motorcycle parking areas.

We put up six more bicycle stands around campus and we paved the lots.

But the reality is that the cost of parking here is actually a lost leader for the university, but it also almost entices people to drive because the price is so low they are taking advantage of it,” he said.

Rogerson said people are still committing parking violations across campus. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan

Screen-to-screen sex study heats up at UNB

Damira Davletyarova Staff Writer

Students are getting sexier with their online communication, a UNB PhD candidate says.

Krystelle Shaughnessy, PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology at UNB, said cybersex among students is becoming more prevalent. Shaughnessy has been collecting data from heterosexual UNB students about their cybersex activity, their understanding of cybersex, experiences and outcomes. Preliminary results, from those who have already completed the online survey, indicate more than 70 per cent of UNB students engage in some form of cybersex activity. In 2006, her research showed that only 25 per cent of students had cybersex.

Shaughnessy explained the hike in the numbers is due to the increasing roles of technology and Internet in modern life, and it is especially visible among students.

“Students are particularly important to look at, because how often are students not attached to their computers?” she said in a phone interview.

UNB graduate student Maryna Ivus said she and her long-term boyfriend turned to the Internet to continue their relationship, after she moved to Fredericton to pursue her studies.

The lack of face-to-face contact, hours of conversation and availability of technology were among reasons they turned to cybersex, she said.

In the beginning, Ivus said, she felt uncomfortable. But knowing her boyfriend was on the other side of the screen, and cybersex is now so widespread among students, made her feel it is an option for someone in a long-distance relationship.

“I think a lot of students are doing that [cybersex]. It’s just a more secret, intimate topic,” she said.

Five years ago, when the PhD candidate was just beginning her research about cyber sexuality, she was starting at square one. The topic was under-researched, the definition was unclear and it kept changing with technological advancements. With the effort of a team of researchers and student surveys at UNB, she could finally put together an answer to the question, “what is cybersex?”

“Cybersex occurs in real-time. It’s a sexual communication where at least two people are involved, so you can’t do it on your own. That means it’s different from looking at erotic images or videos,” Shaughnessy said.

“People are describing either sexual activities or sexual fantasies, sexual interests or desires . . . and it is over the Internet or some medium. People can or may not be self-stimulating; it might be about sexual arousal, it might not be about sexual arousal.”

Shaughnessy stated clearly that her research is focused on recreational cybersex – infrequent, online sexual activity which is not compulsive, obsessive, or addictive.

In her most recent study, Shaughnessy noticed there are more positive outcomes reported by students rather than negative ones. In terms of safety, she said, recreational cybersex is safer than any other sexual activity.

“There is no risk of pregnancy, there is no risk of STDs, decreased risk of harassments or assaults, or even rejection, because you have more control over what’s happening on your computer screen,” she said. “If something starts to go where you don’t want it go, you can just shut off the computer.”

At the same time, Shaughnessy said, nothing is safe, and students must be careful.

According to the same preliminary data, more men than women

Cybersex is becoming increasingly common among students. Damira Davletyarova / The Brunswickan responded to the survey. Shaughnessy said there could be many explanations for this. It could be that men are more comfortable to admit having had cybersex or perhaps they are more interested in it than women.

The researcher is also interested to find out why both genders decide to have cybersex.

“Are men and women using cybersex to experiment with activities that

Chancellor to visit for grand opening Hilary Paige Smith News Editor UNB will be celebrating a triumphant moment this Friday, vice-president academic Dr. Tony Secco said.

The Richard J. Currie Center, which broke ground in 2008, will have its official opening on Friday at 1 p.m. in the $62 million fitness and educational facility. The center is one of the largest capital building projects in Fredericton history.

“We’re not only celebrating all that this building has to offer; we’re celebrating how far we’ve come and all that’s been accomplished in those three years,” Secco said.

He said it’s an opportunity to honour 720 donors, as well as Dr. Currie, UNB’s chancellor, who committed

more than $20 million. Currie and his family will be in attendance, along with community members and the general public. There is capacity for 1,500 people.

Special guests will be speaking, along with performances by local acts Andy Brown, Kathleen Gorey-McSorley, Atlantic Sinfonia, the Fredericton Ladies Choir, Derrick Miller and the Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada.

“This event is going to be unlike anything we’ve ever held before at the University of New Brunswick thanks to the support of friends of the university and the dedication of the performers.

The Atlantic Ballet Theatre of Canada co-founder Igor Dobrovolskiy, for example, was interested in the story of the Currie Center and our focus on health and wellness. He was inspired to

create a special piece around that story and those themes. We encourage the community to join us for what’s sure to be a fantastic performance,” Secco said.

The building has been controversial among those opposing the $150 ancillary for all students. Secco said many students are seeing how “their experience at UNB can be improved by the Currie Center” in response to a question about potential protestors coming to the event.

“We hope people are respectful of the fact that this official opening event is a time of celebration and a time to recognize the contributions of our donors,” he said.

The official opening will be followed by an open house at 2 p.m.

they are not comfortable to experiment with offline?” she said.

Shaughnessy still has plenty of questions to answer. For example, with whom and on what occasions are people engaging in cybersex activities?

The data collection is still ongoing.

Shaugnessy is looking for male students, 18 and over to complete her online study Sexuality and Intimacy on the Internet, which can be found

at unbstudy.com.

As for Ivus, she knows exactly why she doesn’t want to have cybersex anymore. She said it was just a part of her long-distance relationship, a step in her life, maybe even fear that she overcame, but she tried it - and she didn’t enjoy it.

“Still, it’s unreal. For me, it is important to hug the person, to feel the person and to see him every day.”

Rick Caroll’s Photography / Flickr CC In other words, men “get some” while women “give it away.” This nurtures a culture of rape.

There are the extreme examples like The Game and other books that reduce women to prey and dating to crude, exploitative hunting. The double standard of slut/stud, or even the notion that men initiate sex more than women, reinforces the concept that women must guard their sexuality, while men can’t be helped.

Templeton is eager to provide his own example of a double standard.

“Young boys are deluged with education designed to keep them from becoming rapists, because the rapist is assumed to be the basal psychology of the male.

There are, strangely, no information sessions teaching young girls how not to exploit sexuality for their own ends,” he writes. “If the latter of these ideas offends you, then think very carefully about just how similar it is to the former. To call someone a rapist is infinitely more serious than to call them a slut, unless our rape-

culture activists have completely devalued the term.”

Where is the deluge of education for boys? Since when is it easy for men to talk about healthy sexuality? Navigating the world of sexuality and gender is not easy for young men, but generally people shrug events off and say “boys will be boys.”

On the other hand, TV and popular magazines teach girls that sluts are bad people.

Templeton uses the word slut to allude to women who “exploit their sexuality.”

Is this not taking power away from women who do have a strong sense of their own sexuality? Does it not debase those women who take (just a little too much) joy in sex? Women who subvert the gender norms and expectations that ensure men’s dominance? Once women discover that not only does no mean no but yes means yes, do they become sluts?

Once the focus is placed on something other than male pleasure, and women

take control of their own sexual pleasure, do they become sluts?

Calling a woman a slut is a desperate attempt to strengthen the male stranglehold on gender norms. Templeton is simply contributing to the silence and shame surrounding sexual violence of any kind.

Addressing rape culture is not easy. It is much easier to tell women to not walk alone, to stay away from certain areas, to watch their drinks, to not wear certain clothes and to not “lead men on.” All of this well-intended advice is simply another form of victim blaming that most women contend with every day.

Though there are pockets of people who think as Templeton does, there are rich, vibrant communities of people across the country who want to empower women, who acknowledge that sex and pleasure matter and who want to include men in their efforts. That I count such individuals as friends is a pleasure I’ll indulge in all I want, thank you very much.

Susan Dickeson paints on a scavenged canvas. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan Haley Ryan Arts Reporter Queen Street shops displayed more than their usual wares in windows and doorsteps last Saturday afternoon.

The mannequins moved.

Well, technically the mannequins were real artists, but it probably took some people aback to see humans standing and painting where stiff plastic forms usually hang out.

Susan Dickeson painted in the window

of Bejewel as the soft morning light illuminated her and her artwork, allowing pedestrians to peer in from the street.

Dickeson, who joked “all artists are scavengers,” actually rescued the black-painted canvas she was working on from someone’s trash, because she said she’s always wanted to start on a dark surface and work back to light.

Her fingers messy with colour from the pastels she used, her eyes darted from the riot of orange, red and purple flowers in a vase beside her to the version on her easel.

“I like using pastel and then going back in with paint,” Dickeson said as she dipped a deep purple one into acrylic and started drawing petals.

“It fixes as I go and I get better colours . . . I just like working immediately.”

Dry in the alcove in front of a hair salon, Ruby Allan and Wolfgang Westner painted and carved their art as rain darkened the sidewalk.

Allan, an oil painter from Fredericton, was painting a young woman from a

photograph pinned to her canvas.

Since she became a student of Glen Preistly’s three years ago, Allan said her work has come very far and she’s been lucky enough to show her work at galleries including The Playhouse, and soon at City Hall.

Statues and the human face provide inspiration for Allan, and the tall painting of a stone figure amongst the grass and flowers of a Hartland garden stood watch as she turned back to her work.

Westner, a wood carver from Germany

originally trained to make camera lenses, quietly whittled away at a large piece as people stopped to admire the benches and furniture he’s left his mark on.

He first started carving when he went into the beeswax candle business with his wife when they lived in Petitcodiac. They used the traditional technique of wooden molds to make beautiful hand-made candles.

Westner only carves with hand tools because he says he likes keeping things traditional, and finds mechanical saws “too noisy.”

Someone even approached him once to carve a grave marker out of wood, complete with a shingled roof to keep the rain off.

“It’s fun, because you never know what you’ll have to do,” Westner said.

In the window front of M & T Deli, Debb Bates has displayed her realist artwork and paints at a large easel, smudges of colour highlighting her black apron.

Bates says she likes incorporating Fredericton scenes in her work, and indeed in the background of many portraits of men and women, the familiar city skyline peeks out.

Realism is interesting to Bates because she says she loves anything challenging, and a lot of artwork around now is abstract, so she likes to set herself apart.

She also said she didn’t mind feeling the stares of strange people on her as she worked because she is used to that in her day job as a sign-painter or when she does pet portraits.

“Painting is a need, just like air,” Bates said with a smile. “It’s just so much fun.”

Culture Days ran from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in Fredericton and across Canada. This year was the second annual event, promoting time when local artists are encouraged to come out and share their talents with the public.

Culture Days: Crafty cakes and mesmerizing mushrooms

Haley Ryan Arts Reporter Curly-haired babies in strollers stare solemnly around at glinting jewellery and beads as families make their way slowly through aisles packed with food, clothing and every kind of arts and craft.

Vendors smile widely, trying to catch the eyes of people going by, a distinct smell of warm popcorn and candle wax floating in the air.

New Brunswick’s participation in Culture Days weekend extended into the Capital Exhibition Centre last Saturday, where a huge craft fair was held.

Artists and entrepreneurs from all over the Maritimes and Quebec set up booths in the arena, and at around mid-morning the place was still packed, many families carrying farmer’s market goodies having walked over to check out this special addition to Saturday morning shopping.

Jonathan and Natalie Ramirez of “Monkey Cakes” had their gourmet cupcake booth at the fair for the very first time, where they were taking commissioned orders and selling individual cakes.

Their table displaying huge, well-iced

cupcakes of Sesame Street characters had many kids pleading for one and pulling on their parent’s hands, but Jonathan said they’re not the only pop-culture decorations he’s done.

“I’ve done a Rolling Stones cake before, and some death metal band,” he laughed.

Jonathan, the head baker originally from Los Angeles, got the inspiration to start a gourmet cake shop after a trip to New York. He toured lots of bakeries and even saw the famous Carlo’s Bakery featured on TLC’s Cake Boss, which gave him the urge to start Fredericton’s only official cupcake shop.

The Monkey Cakes store will open Oct. 11 in the plaza at the corner of Priestman and Regent Street, and if the craft fair is any indication of interest, Jonathan said they’ll be very happy.

“We’ve only been open for 55 minutes, and half our inventory we brought is already gone,” he said. “We’re hoping the cake thing won’t prove to be just a fad.”

Down the aisle and up a different row from the cupcakes was an unusual

mushroom stand - but you definitely wouldn’t want to eat these offerings from Darin Bavis.

Bavis harvests his own mushrooms for sale, (which are likely delicious) but the ones he dehydrates and turns into artwork he finds in the wild marshlands of Albert County near Moncton.

The mushrooms become as hard as rock through this drying process, which gives an interesting surface to sketch on.

Bavis uses black ink to create intricate gnarled trees or animals on the flat front of the mushroom, but says he picks ones that have interesting colours and textures on the back as well, so the actual vegetable is like a work of art.

“I like incorporating the blemishes,” Bavis said about his organic materials, “and they tend to sell better than drawings on paper. Mother Nature does better work.”

Culture Days ran from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2 in Fredericton and across Canada.

This year was the second annual event, with craft fairs like this one exposing the public to local talent and businesses that incorporate the arts.

Shimmy shimmy shake ‘n’ bake Lee Thomas The Brunswickan Take a venue that can be conveniently accessed by hundreds of university students, add a ton of acclaimed local talent and top it off with a nationallyrenowned DJ, and what do you have?

The answer, of course, is the Shake & Bake concert, co-hosted by CHSR Radio and the UNB Student Union.

The event, which will be open to the public as well as students, will highlight some of the finest musical talent from across the Maritimes.

Featured artists include Fredericton favourites Grand Theft Bus and Hungry Hearts, the latter of which was recently nominated for two Music New Brunswick awards.

Halifax-based artists Scientists of Sound and Tupper Ware Remix Party complete the lineup. Between sets, New Brunswick-born DJ Mizz Maxine will keep the party bumping with her legendary spinning prowess.

This is the second annual Shake & Bake concert. In 2010 the event had a solid turnout and a great atmosphere, despite the fact that it was held very early in the year. With a more accessible time slot and the Student Union joining forces with CHSR, the hopes

for this year’s event are very high.

“It’s a great way to celebrate the new school year,” said CHSR station manager Tim Rayne.

“Last year was one of those shows where if you were there, it was pretty wicked. And this year CHSR and the Student Union together have been able to put on one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.”

The featured bands cover a breathtaking variety of genres, with everything from rock and indie to Tupper Ware Remix Party’s self-described “intergalactic electro dance metal.”

With such an eclectic assortment of musical styles, there will definitely be something for everyone at the concert.

“Part of the university experience is to try something new, not just your typical Top 40 songs,” Rayne said.

“It’s nice to be able to bring in bands that people might not hear otherwise.”

Events such as the Shake & Bake demand a lot of work and organizational effort from the Student Union.

Regardless, the dedicated members of the UNBSU have decided to make such events a priority this year, according to vice president of Student Services Chantel Whitman.

Vice-president student services Chantel Whitman and CHSR’s programming director Mark Kilfoill.

Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan “One of our main goals is to have more entertainment on campus,” she said.

“Concerts have a lot of student appeal, so we’re trying to host more

than in previous years.”

On Oct. 13, the Shake & Bake will begin with Hungry Hearts at 9 p.m. and conclude at 1 a.m. with Scientists of Sound. Admission to the concert

is $5 and it is a 19+ event. An extraordinary opportunity to see some of the most talented musicians in the Maritimes, Shake & Bake is one event you definitely won’t want to miss.

Oh No, Theodore: not underachieving

Oh No,Theodore is nominated for five Music New Brunswick awards. Submitted.

Sarah Campbell The Brunswickan To describe Oh No, Theodore in one word would be next to impossible. In the simplest terms, they’re a six-piece orchestra incorporating beautiful harmonies and instruments to make some of the most unique melodies around. They’re an indie-folk band, who know how to lure their listeners back with the rich sounds of cello, violin and acoustics.

Oh No, Theodore was recently nominated for a five Music New Brunswick Awards for its new album, We’re A ll Underachieving. This doesn’t even include the nomination for the Fan Favourite award. The best part? The judges aren’t the only ones who control the outcome for these awards; anyone can vote at nb.org.

Even if the upbeat and whimsical songs of Oh No, Theodore aren’t enough to make you fall in love with them, their down-to-earth nature and pure passion for what they do certainly will. Every song that’s written is made so personal that it has become a venting mechanism for the lead singer, Jeremy McLaughlin.

“Everyone has their own things you know, when you get sad you do this and when I get sad, I write music,” McLaughlin said.

As we talked in the calm setting of Coffee and Friends downtown with cello player, Lukas Bailey, it became

unmistakable how much they appreciate the small things. With both McLaughlin and Bailey being from small towns in rural New Brunswick, they stay true to what really matters.

McLaughlin put it into perspective when he said he always imagined himself living in a bigger city, but now he doesn’t think he could.

“I get impatient with other people because of the lack of care that everyone has. Everyone is in a hurry to do this and to do that. People are people, not everyone is out to get you. That’s something you learn from living in a smaller city.”

Despite the fact that McLaughlin only formed the band a little more than a year ago, they are clearly no strangers to performing in front of live audiences. This band has perfected the art of keeping busy.

“It’s been a huge snowball effect.

Every month new opportunities come up and we’re trying our best to make the most of it,” Bailey said.

By keeping an open mind and an open calendar, they’ve been able to travel between local stages here in Fredericton to some in Montreal.

Oh No, Theodore will be performing on campus in the Student Union Building on Oct. 14. Cover is $5 with proceeds going to the Social Club. You can also catch them on Oct. 13 downtown at The Capital with Paper Lions.

Planning ahead for libido and booze: #winning probably knew wasn’t the best idea (I once again refer you to the Nicky Zee’s dance floor at 1:30 a.m.).

So, why do we do these things?

Sarah

The reality is that no matter how Vannier much information we have, or how much we’ve thought about how we This is the final part of a three part want to act in a situation, all sorts of things can get in the way of making series on sexual decision making.

Now that you have all of the in- good decisions. And I bet you can formation you need, and you have guess two of the biggest barriers!

The first is being very turned on, decided that you’re making your decision for the right reasons, the or horny. It can be tough following next step is to figure out how you’re through on all of our great decisions going to follow through. It’s easy when we are caught up in the heat of to say “I will always use condoms” the moment. Researchers at the Unior “I want to wait to have sex,” but versity of California looked at how many of us have ended up in a situa- this changes the overall willingness tion where we did something that we to do different sexual things. They

The New Position

had men come into the lab and masturbate (in a private room of course) and had them fill out a questionnaire just before they were about to cum.

Compared to men who weren’t turned on, the masturbating men said they were more willing to try all sorts of different sexual activities (e.g., anal sex, threesomes, bondage), and were more willing to have sex without a condom.

The second thing that gets in the way is, and no surprise here, alcohol.

Alcohol reduces our inhibitions and makes it easier to make decisions that we probably wouldn’t when we’re sober. For example, when you’re drinking you’re much more likely to have risky (a.k.a. condomless) sex.

There’s even scientific evidence for beer goggles. Researchers in the U.K. went into a campus bar and asked students to rate pictures of young men and women. They found that compared to the students who hadn’t been drinking, students who had had a few drinks rated pictures of people of the opposite sex as more attractive.

This brings us back to the original issue of making the best sexual decisions for you. One of the tricks to following through on your decisions is to plan ahead. This might mean deciding what you want to do before you head out for the night.

For example, if you decide that using a condom is important to you

(and let’s be honest . . . you probably should) then make sure you always have one on you. If you decide that you want to talk to your partner about your sexual likes and dislikes, then practice that conversation with a friend or in a mirror. If you decide that you don’t want to go home with some random from the bar, then make sure your friends agree to not leave without you.

If you can think about the different situations you might end up in, and plan how you want to behave in those situations, you’re well on your way to making the sexual decisions that leave you happy, healthy and sexually satisfied.

A roarin’ good time: CD release at The Capital Brandon Hicks The Brunswickan She Roars. And the guys aren’t too quiet either.

The Fredericton band is hosting a party at The Capital this Thursday to celebrate its first full-length release, Companion.

They’ve been a busy group since their inception in 2007. In the beginning, friends Max Leblanc and Kyle Clark played together often. Then they met Chris McIntosh and decided to start “something different.”

Things have picked up over the past year for the She Roars crew, with the release of their debut album, interviews and shows. Just now getting back from a tour, the members say their most prominent emotion is relief, because their album has been in the works for a long time and it’s finally getting out.

The band’s debut, Companion, will be released on Oct. 4, “really, this time,” quipped Kyle Clark (drums/vocals).

It marks a significant change in tone from their 2008 self-titled EP, which predominantly featured acoustic music. When asked about the change, Chris McIntosh (bass/ vocals) replied, “Nic joined the band.”

Nic Murrins joined in July 2010, bringing the electric guitar to the band’s constantly growing style.

When it comes to lyrics, they mostly base them around the music.

They take a song, and depending on the tone, be it melancholy, fun, or anything in between, Max Leblanc (vocals/guitar) writes based on that, or uses lyrics already written that fit.

She Roars releases their debut album Companion this Thursday at The Capital. Submitted The band isn’t hard to find online, having accounts on Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Bandcamp, Sonicbids and YouTube. They have also recently started up their website, www.sheroars.ca. The site posts the dates of all planned gigs, as well as previews of their music. According to

the members, each site serves a different purpose, such as socialization with Facebook, quick updates with Twitter, and Bandcamp for music.

When asked if they minded the digital distribution of their music, they said, “you kind of have to [just go with it], it’s the way things are

done now.”

This Thursday, the release party will give fans the opportunity to meet and talk to the band members, and they’re selling the CD for $10.

As a special incentive, the CD will be given away to the first 10 coverpaying attendees. Other giveaways

include prizes from East Side Board Supply and Los Cabos Drumsticks.

The party gets rolling at 10:30 p.m. at The Captial Complex with Fredericton’s The Westerberg Suicides as the opening act. Cover is $5 for students and $7 for everyone else.

Kippers and capers and clams, oh my!

The Garlic Press with Alex Kress

This week was a hectic one, but that normally doesn’t stop me. I like to cook an elaborate meal because it’s therapeutic for me to spend an hour or more in the kitchen crafting something delicious; my mind is shifted from all the building stresses of the week.

T h is t i me wa s a n except ion though – a single sink, no dishwasher, and playing host to a potluck Friday night wreaked havoc on the kitchen and discouraged me from making more dishes than necessary.

To keep it simple, I consulted my handy cookbook, Take Three.

It’s a wonderful resource if you’re in a hurry, because all the recipes only require three ingredients. Of course, more can always be added to spice up a dish. I chose the sardine linguine, but once I arrived at the grocery store I couldn’t find any. I substituted canned smoked kipper and added clams for a variation in texture. If you’re craving something salty this week and don’t have a ton of time to put into it, this is your dish!

A quick and easy salty treat. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan Ingredients:

Recipe:

1 or 2 tins smoked kipper, drained and cut up 1 can whole baby clams, drained 3 handfuls linguine (I cooked for three people) 1 tablespoon minced garlic 3/4 cup white wine 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, shredded 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tablespoon roasted garlic and herbs powder seasoning (optional)

Drunkard: “Wheat beers behold: Your new king!” lightweight: “Very smooth.

Classy No attitude. I could drink this all night!” flavour.

Add cracked black pepper throughout, to taste (I like a lot). Once the linguine has cooked, strain it and put it back into the pot. Add the ingredients from the frying pan into the pot and mix with olive oil. Add parmesan cheese a little bit at a time, mixing thoroughly. Place servings on plates and sprinkle with leftover parmesan cheese.

Seawolves ruin Red Bombers homecoming

Christopher Cameron Editor-In-Chief After routing the UNBSJ Seawolves in week 2 of the Atlantic Football League action, the UNB Red Bombers struggled to remain consistent as the Seawolves held on for a 14-7 victory.

Prior to the game, the Red Bombers retired Tony Proudfoot’s number, hanging it below the scoreboard at BMO Centre. Proudfoot played for the Bombers from 1967 to 1971. In 1971 the Montreal Alouettes drafted him, and he played with them for nine seasons.

The homecoming game was also named the Tony Proudfoot Memorial game in recognition for all Proudfoot did for Red Bombers football as well as Maritime football in his time at UNB. Unfortunately turnovers did not allow the Red Bombers to pick up the victory in the highly hyped-up game as they “shot themselves in the foot,” as head coach Mike Dollimore put it after the game.

The Bombers’ first notable offensive push came in the second quarter as they kicked off a drive from their own 35-yard line. UNB quarterback Brendan Cornford completed an 18yard pass to Pat Forbes and another to Andrew Guest to push them to the Seawolves’ 45-yard line.

Nick Lane-McEachern ran the ball to the 34-yard line on the next play. Following a five-yard penalty to UNBSJ, the Red Bombers found themselves in striking distance.

It was all-for-none as Cornford threw an interception, putting an end to the offensive push.

This proved to be a turning point as the Seawolves scored on their next drive, beginning from their 27-yard line. Isaiah Nice kicked off the drive with a 23-yard run. After a failed run

The Red Bomers lost 14-7 against the UNBSJ Seawolves during their homecoming game on Saturday. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan resulted in a two-yard loss, UNBSJ quarterback Trevor Harrison completed a pass to Joel Searle, who took the ball to the Bombers’ five-yard line.

Harrison capped off the drive, pushing the ball into the end zone, giving UNBSJ a 7-0 lead.

The Seawolves scored once more in the half, putting them ahead 14-0 going into halftime.

The second half the third quarter saw both teams fail offensively to get anything going. The Red Bombers cut into the Seawolves lead with 4:11 remaining in the game. Cornford

completed a pass to Cody Stewart followed by two passes to Derek Broad to put the Bombers on the board, down 14-7.

“Offensively, surprisingly, we moved the football,” Dollimore said.

“We moved it on the ground to the outside better and we moved it in the air, but we have to give them credit.

They really prepared for our inside running game that we had last week.

We ended up not being able to finish up any offensive drives, shooting ourselves in the foot with either an interception or a fumble.”

The Red Bombers’ late push was not enough as UNBSJ got revenge for its loss a week before.

“We just got our guys to work harder in practice this week and work on fundamentals,” said UNBSJ head coach Dave Grandy.

“The guys came out today an executed the way we wanted them to.

We didn’t play that well last week and Fredericton played very well last week.

We just wanted to prepare to play them this week and we did just that.”

Offensive misfortunes cost the Bombers the game, but Dollimore

was pleased to see his special teams pick up their play in week 3 on top of exceptional defensive play.

“Our special teams came up much stronger,” he said. “Our defence was just swarming. They (defence) were energized, the blitzed well, they tackled well, they were in the backfield on a lot of the plays. There are a lot of positive things in this game. We just didn’t get the win.”

The Bombers are off for the Thanksgiving break and will play their next game Oct. 15 at BMO Centre against the Dalhousie Tigers.

Women’s soccer lose to Panthers and tie Mounties K. Bryannah James Sports Editor The Varsity Reds traveled to UPEI on Saturday to play against their first-place rivals, the UPEI Panthers, losing to the top-seeded team by only one goal.

“Nationally ranked sixth I believe.

We had a good solid effort, we had some chances, didn’t score but it was our best game of the year,” said Varsity Reds women’s head coach, Andy Cameron.

Although the loss would be seen as just that, a loss, by other coaches, Cameron is optimistic that the result against such a strong team in the AUS conference is a building block for the AUS championships, which UNB is hosting.

“We approached the game with confidence and we ended the game with confidence. So that’s one more building block for the AUS championships.”

On Saturday the Reds took on the Mount Allison Mounties, in a nail biting game that ended at 0-0.

“I think they were looking to counter (our pressure),” said Cameron. “We were pushing forward so they looked to counter.”

The Varsity Reds were short two of its key players going into the game, midfielders Heather Ambery and Brianna Ford, who were both out with knee injuries.

During the game, sweeper Alexandra Black also had to leave the field in the first half of play due to a knee

injury and did not return for the second half.

“They’re (Heather and Brianna) both out with knee injuries and Alex Black was out in the second half,” said Cameron. “It is nice to have the break for Thanksgiving. Heather is recovering from a sprained MCL and Bri took a knock yesterday and she’ll be back. We hope they’re back in our next game, but long term is more important.”

“We hope that they’ll be back in the lineup and we’ll go from there.”

One of the main factors of the game however, was the fatigue the Reds suffered during the last 10 minutes of play in the second half.

“We played two games in two days and they came in rested. So fatigue is an issue in the last part of the game,” said Cameron.

However, the Reds continued to dominate the Mounties end, which was continuously challenged by rookie midfielder Meggie Spicer, who outran the Mounties defence, never backing off the ball and frequently setting up plays for the offence.

The Varsity Red defence was also a strong force to be reckoned with as both the defensive line and rookie keeper, Jackie Blank continued their anchored support of the team by holding down the back line, and not letting any shots catch her off guard.

The game may have ended in a tie, but the Reds dominated the play.

Most of the plays held beautiful choreography as the defence used the offence in passing and vice versa, each

“I think we were very well organized. Everybody played with con-

fidence. Closed out both the first half and the second half with a lot of energy and a lot confidence which is what we’ve been working on in

training.”

After Thanksgiving weekend, the Reds will take on UPEI and Cape Breton at the BMO Centre.

Rory Keys was the hero in the Varsity Reds men’s soccer match, scoring in extra time to get to even ground against the Mount Allison Mounties, ending their match Sunday in a 1-1 draw. “[The goal] is not as important as people are going to think. One point at this point in the season is not what we needed, we needed three points.

It’s good to see the ball go in the net though,” said UNB men’s head coach, Miles Pinsent.

The first goal of the game, scored

by Mount A llison in t he 20t h minute, was scored off of a corner kick, with Stuart McAdam driving it into the back of UNB’s net.

This made it vital for the UNB men to come back and score to give them a chance at making the AUS playoffs in the upcoming months as MTA sat one point behind them going into the match.

“I thought we were playing quite well, especially the first 20 minutes I liked what I saw. When they got the corner kick, I’m not sure about the marking that consequently led to the goal, but I mean that was really their only chance, and it came off of a corner kick against them on a play,” Pinsent said.

“I wasn’t pleased with how we finished the first half after the goal, but

second half I think the boys pushed and did what we needed to do to get the equalizer.”

A strong line at the back end, by goal keeper Aaron McMurray, allowed the Varsity Reds to stay in the game and not have to worry about the play behind them, but focus on the opponent’s net. Allowing only one goal in, McMurray kept the score low.

I don’t think either team had a whole lot of chances. I think both back lines buckled down and did their job,” Pinsent said.

Having only three goals in the last eight games, the Varsity Red men’s soccer team needed to find a way to score in the Mount Allison game to push them ahead in the standings.

“We have a lot of new players in this year and still trying to work through our systems. I don’t know, we still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with us yet. We’re looking, we’re looking for answers,” Varsity Reds midfielder, Keys said. “We just have to keep going. It’s starting to get late into the season now, but we’ll see what we can finish the season off with.”

Earlier in the weekend the V-Reds travelled to UPEI where they took on the AUS third-ranked team. They would play to a 0-0 tie, missing out on another opportunity to pick up three points.

“We just have to keep working

hard in practice, and we really have to start grinding in the games. I mean, we’re working hard and hopefully we’ll start getting goals,” Keys said.

UNB currently sits two points out of a playoff spot in seventh. Mount

Allison and Memorial are tied for eighth, one point back of the Varsity Reds and have a game in hand.

Moncton is one point ahead of UNB in the sixth and final playoff spot, but also has a game in hand.

Campbell comes to Currie Center

if you want to write about them email: sports@thebruns.ca

The Helen Campbell women’s basketball tournament will be played for the first time in the Currie Center this weekend. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan Josh Fleck Staff Writer The Helen Campbell tournament hasn’t always been gentle on coach Jeff Speedy and the women’s basketball team. Speedy has only won this tournament once during his tenure as head coach, and that was last year.

With the loss of two of his starters this offseason, Amanda Sharpe and Leah Corby, it’s certainly an uphill battle, but Speedy believes despite the loss of the combined 34.3 points a game from the pair, his team can achieve success in a team effort.

“In the offseason we lost three of our top six players (Sharpe, Corby and Laura Fowler). With them gone, Jordanne Holstein will step up and give us some great minutes, Emma Russell will step in to fill a bit of the void of Amanda and Melissa Foster is great at what she does as well. Can’t forget about Megan Corby who I think is the best point guard in the AUS.” The team may have lost a dominant post presence and sharp shooter, but

they still hold in their hands the reigning AUS Rookie of the Year, Claire Colborne. Speedy isn’t very worried about the possibility of a sophomore slump.

“With us having less pure scorers on the floor, teams will be more focused on her this season. So Claire will have to learn how to score against the double team, and against the opposition’s best defender all the time. I think she is quite capable of repeating last year’s numbers, but she is up to the challenge.”

With the competition in the tournament coming in the forms of Bishops (3-13 in RSEQ play last season), UPEI (0-20 in AUS play) and York (7-15 in OUA play), the Varsity Reds will look to walk away with a second straight tournament title.

The organization of the tournament wasn’t without a hitch though.

Speedy usually brings in one team from Canada West, one from Ontario or Quebec and one from the AUS to compete. However, the Canada West team cancelled in July, leaving a noticeable space left open in the

tournament, and Speedy scrambling to find a replacement.

Luckily for him York was available and agreed to participate.

As for Speedy’s expectations on the tournament, he doesn’t necessarily see wins in this tournament equalling success.

“Getting to play in this amazing new facility and getting to see all the positive changes with the girls will be great. We have only been playing against each other so we can’t really tell how good we are, or aren’t. It will be good to see what we can bring against some CIS competition. If we happen to come away with the tournament win that will just be a bonus.”

With the team coming off one its best seasons in recent years, the bar has been set very high. An early season tournament win might be just what is needed to jump-start another successful year, and the first of many seasons to come in the Richard J. Currie Center.

UNB’s first game of the tournament is Friday at 6 p.m. against Bishops.

Weekend loss sets building blocks Josh Fleck Staff Writer The women’s volleyball team was on the road this past weekend in Halifax as they kickzed off their season in an exhibition tournament at Dalhousie University.

The Varsity Reds had four games on the weekend starting with a Friday night tilt against the hosts, the Dalhousie Tigers.

Assistant coach James Cress said winning isn’t everything when it comes to the pre-season tournament.

“It’s a great event as it provides teams [with] the opportunity to get a lot of game play, play with different lineups and evaluate players in different positions.”

The tournament didn’t start out on a good note as UNB fell in the first set, 25-12. They bounced back in the next two sets making them much closer, but coming out on the wrong ends again, 26-24 and 25-20.

Despite the loss, there were a lot of bright signs. One came in the form of first-year left side Katarina Legutky, who finished the game with a team high of five digs and also contributing five kills.

She was named player of the game for her solid efforts.

Things were beginning to look better for the V-Reds in their second game as they faced off against Memorial University.

They took the opening set 32-30. The winning way was soon forgotten as they dropped the next three sets (25-16, 2514 and 25-19 respectively). Second-year middle Celina Abba walked away with player of the game honours.

The Varsity Reds’ third match up

The women’s volleyball team opened the pre-season with losses instead of wins as they tried to fill the void left by graduated players.

Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan was against Acadia, a team that UNB handled with relative ease last year. This is a whole new season.

The Reds dropped the match 3-1 (21-25,20-25,25-23,19-25). Third-year setter Amanda Bakker had a dominant game as she racked up a total of 32 assists and also chipped in with two kills, a block and nine digs. She also picked up a spot on the tournament all-star team.

To finish off the tournament the Reds faced last year’s number one seed, the Saint Mary’s Huskies.

It didn’t take long for the Huskies to take care of business, handing the Reds a fourth straight defeat 19-25, 16-25, 19-25. Amber Gamblin was named player of the game.

With the loss of Tanya Paulin, Erica Hay and Jill Blanchard, there are some

big shoes to fill, and it’s still too early to tell who will step up to fill the void.

Head coach John Richard isn’t too concerned with his team’s performance.

“It was our first tournament and it sure looked like it was our first tournament. Between not passing the ball well all weekend and us having 2-3 first-year girls on the floor each game, results were tough to find. That said, it’s about winning the last tournament of the season, not the first one. Like someone reminded me of on the weekend, we went 0-4 at this same event last year and things ended up working out okay,” Richard said.

The Reds will be taking their talents south of the boarder to play a couple of exhibition games before opening their season at the UNB Invitational Oct. 14.

Creating healthy habits for the long haul

Tova Payne Staff Writer It may seem as if school has really hit you with a heavy load and has become a daunting task. Whether it’s papers to write or millions of terms to memorize, it may feel like you don’t even know where to start.

And yet the only thing you can do is start. The more you practice memorizing the concepts, or the more you practice writing your essays, the more fluid everything becomes. Things do start to come together, but you have to get started and keep moving, even if the first few steps seem arduous.

This may be something you are experiencing right now in your work, but it’s also the perfect analogy to your health and changing your habits.

Whether you are trying to cultivate the healthy habit of packing your own lunch and snacks or really committing to an exercise program, it may seem overly daunting when you look at the task ahead.

If you take even the smallest step, your ability to build on that and to continue your new healthy habit will strengthen with time and practice.

Using the school analogy, if you’re studying a whole new concept, it may not make any sense the first time you read it. You may wonder,“what’s the point in wasting any more time trying to read any further if nothing is making any sense?”

Yet if you push yourself a little and continue to re-read the concept and put in the effort and time, it will start to make more sense to you. The concept that seemed at one point impossible will avail itself to a clarity

To all members of

The Brunswickan

Small steps can lead to bigger successes if you put in the time and effort with healthy eating habits. Andrew Meade /The Brunswickan you never thought would be possible.

The same thing goes for your nutritional and exercise habits. Start with small, manageable steps and keep practicing them until they become easy, and then you can move on to the next chapter.

So, if you are having trouble eating healthy while in school, think about packing simple snacks like plain almonds, or any plain nut (nothing with salt and/or sugar added), an apple, or any other simple fruit that you can carry with you easily.

It may not be a whole meal, but it’s better than going without food, or going for an unhealthy candy bar.

Simple snacks will keep your energy levels up while you are busy running between classes.

If you can’t seem to make it to as

many workouts as you had initially hoped for, make the most of what you have.

If you have 30 minutes between classes, walk around campus as a way to get more movement into your day.

If you can’t make it to a fitness or yoga class, try a video at home, or play with some stretches and strengthening poses for a few minutes in the morning. Even if you cannot add in a whole workout, everything counts, and it all adds up for your health and sense of well-being.

Remember to take on the small manageable steps that you can commit to, maintain and cultivate into a habit. Once you do this, you can then move onwards to your next nutritional and fitness goal in a way that will be sustained over the long haul.

Former Alouette learning new trade at Concordia Andrew Maggio The Link (Concordia University) MONTREAL (CUP) — For most of his 13-year career, Bryan Chiu was considered the best centre in the CFL. Chiu was the recipient of various accolades, such as the 2002 Most Outstanding Lineman award, 16 total all-star selections (7-time CFL All-Star, 9-time CFL East All-Star), all while anchoring a dominant offensive line en route to two Grey Cup championships with the Montreal Alouettes.

His resume speaks for itself — his rise to CFL greatness was never in doubt — but his legendary journey was cut short all too soon.

Chiu’s surprising retirement announcement via his Twitter account during the summer of 2010 caught the city of Montreal by surprise, but Chiu had ample reason to call it quits.

By then, various injuries and surgeries had hampered his ability to compete at the elite level he had maintained throughout his career. But that was only part of the reason.

“I had to do it in the best interest of my family,” said Chiu. “I have two young kids and a wife and I wanted to make sure I was going to be healthy for them down the road.”

While his retirement was a heavy blow to the Alouettes, it was a blessing for the Concordia Stingers football team. Two weeks after the announcement, Concordia head coach Gerry McGrath hired Chiu to take on the roles of assistant offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.

“I was really planning to take some time off and just regroup, just to give myself a little time before I started the next chapter of my life,” he said. But when word reached McGrath that Chiu was free, he wasted no time.

“When Gerry got back from training camp in Saskatchewan he gave me a call…

We went out for lunch and he basically just offered me the job,” said Chiu. His good relationship with McGrath was also a big reason for joining the Stingers’ coaching staff.

“Over the years I had gotten to know Coach McGrath. We built a good relationship and I would always joke with him that

Former Montreal Alouette Bryan Chiu, on the sidelines with the Concordia football team. Amanda Laprade/The Link someday I’d come and coach with him.”

Although Chiu never actually gave serious thought to coaching after his career, his love for the game of football was too great to drop the game entirely, and coaching provided a way for him to stay involved with it after his retirement. Despite opportunities to immediately coach professionally, Chiu didn’t feel the timing was quite right.

“I still have a lot to learn about the game of football, and I think [Concordia] is a great place for me to be,” he said. “I have some security here right now, and I’m comfortable here. I just feel like it’s more rewarding for me to get the 17-year-old kids out of high school who want nothing more than to become pro football players, and if I can help those guys out, all the better.”

Chiu admits he is reaping the rewards of his coaching experience, the long workdays make it difficult for him to spend time with his family during the season.

“When I was a player I did four-and-ahalf-hour shifts. Here at Concordia, I’m in the office at around 7:30, 8 o’clock in the morning, and I’ll be getting home at 9, 10 o’clock every day. The long 15-hour days can be taxing during the season,” he said.

“I can go three, four days without seeing my kids because they’re asleep when I get

home and I’m out the door before the sun rises. There was a little period of adjustment there, but having an understanding wife certainly helps.”

Chiu admits that once in a while he still gets the itch to get back on the field, but he is content with his new role as a leader from the sidelines, instead of at the position he dominated for over a decade.

As a former professional athlete, he understands that, while it does serve as an advantage in coaching, his experience as a college player helps him relate to his players better.

Having been in their shoes, he knows what it takes to get to the next level, and this invaluable experience will no doubt serve great purpose to the up and coming stars not only on the Stingers offensive line, but to the entire roster.

“Seeing these kids mature and helping them balance not only football, but their academics, jobs, and personal lives, it makes you much more than just a coach to them,” he said. “It makes you a counsellor, and for the out-of-town kids, the coaches are like their father figures. The best thing about this job is being able to have a positive influence on these kids.”

Carleton takes Eric Garland basketball tournament Sean O’Neill Staff Writer The UNB Varsity Reds men’s basketball team tipped off its exhibition season and opened their new home with a mixed bag of results.

While the Reds lost to Carleton – the defending CIS champion and winner of seven of the last nine titles – on Saturday night, the bright spot is that it was the only team to hold the dominant Ravens under 100 during the Eric Garland tournament.

UNB started the tournament off with a game against AUS rival Saint Mary’s on Friday. The Reds held a lead as big as eight in the fourth but could not hold onto it as the Huskies clawed back and took the lead late holding on for a 82-78 victory.

Tory Fassett led the Huskies in scoring with 25 points and shot 55 per cent. The V-Reds were fueled by 17 points apiece from Daniel Quirion and Alex DesRoches.

Saturday night was the aforementioned loss to Carleton. The Varsity Reds were down 50-16 after the first half, and were held to six points in the second quarter, all coming from the free-throw line.

For a small moral victory, the VReds hung with the superior Ravens in the second half, losing 41-37 in the third and fourth.

“Even though you don’t want to hang your hat on a 40-point loss to Carleton,” said UNB head coach Brent Baker at the end of the weekend, “we did some good things and [competed] every possession.”

The team finished off the weekend with its first win of the tournament and exhibition season with a victory over the Laval Rouge et Or 76-71 on Sunday. Quirion tied for the team lead in scoring again with 16, along with newcomer Michael Fosu.

For his performances, Quirion was named to the tournament allstar team.

“Danny is a consummate student of the game,” Baker said, “and he’s a great, great kid and is as good a person as he is for the team.”

While this win doesn’t count in the Varsity Reds quest to get back to the AUS playoffs and potentially go further than last season’s oneand-done, Baker saw this weekend as a chance to grow and establish an identity, but it wasn’t easy.

“The more disappointing thing for me was our bench and our lack of want to, I guess, on Friday night,” Baker said, reflecting on the weekend.

“We were the antithesis of team instead of being a team on Friday night. Everyone was looking, ‘well, I’m not getting on, I’m not getting my minutes,’ and it was just getting

UNB Varsity Red Daniel Quirion takes on Laval player Lefebvre Olivier, during this weekends tournament. Andrew Meade / The Brunswickan those roles established and getting those things taken care of.”

“We’re still growing here.”

Aside from the Varsity Reds game throughout the weekend, Carleton had two other easy victories as they beat Laval 104-48 and Saint Mary’s 108-66, winning the tournament.

In the other game Saint Mary’s beat Laval 88-83 to f inish 2-1.

Carleton’s Philip Scrubb was named tournament MVP. The tournament all-star team consisted of Quirion, Willy Manigat and Tyson Hinz of the Carleton Ravens, Marvin Vebobe of Laval and Saint Mary’s Harry Ezenibe.

The Reds will spend the next two weeks having another training camp before it heads to PEI and Ottawa for more exhibition games before opening its AUS schedule against Memorial Nov. 12.

Finishing f ifth last year, UNB will hope to improve on that finish, building in the pre-season towards being ready for a tough battle in the AUS regular season.
