H1N1 comes to Western After a summer of concern surrounding a new strain of influenza, Western is hit with H1N1 in early September. The Middlesex London Health Unit began distributing its limited supply of flu vaccines to high risk groups in late October. In November, the Gazette reported on the rising use of hand sanitizer in reaction to the flu panic. Western set up an online absence-reporting tool for sick students to prevent the disease from spreading.

Arrest in the SSC A video circulates on YouTube showing the violent arrest of Western student Irnes Zeljkovic. The incident gained national and international media attention with many questioning whether Campus Community Police and the London Police Service used excessive force during the arrest. The Gazette’s live coverage and videos of the event online received a spike in traffic, crashing the website. Zeljkovic’s charges were stayed in late January. Following a lengthy investigation by London Police Service, the use of force by Western Campus Community Police and London police in the arrest was deemed appropriate on Feb. 2, 2010.

Within days, its president lashed out at his competition, accusing Aboutown of breaking city bylaws by offering fixed rates and undercutting city-mandated meter rates. Aboutown, which has had a fixed rate program with the University Students’ Council since 1994, claimed this program is legal and a clerical error in a 2004 bylaw amendment forgot to include a provision allowing it.

Waterloo football team subject to drug tests after investigation CIS recommends target testing of athletes By Kaleigh Rogers Gazette Staff

The University of Waterloo varsity football team underwent drug testing last Wednesday, after police discovered a stash of steroids and human growth hormones. While looking for stolen goods from a break and enter, Waterloo Regional Police Service uncovered the performance-enhancing drugs, which prompted an immediate investigation by both the police and the University. Details regarding the stash have not yet been revealed to the public, as the investigation is ongoing. University officials have called in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, which oversees sports at universities across the nation. “[CIS] recommended a certain

number [of athletes] to target test, and we actually made the request to test the entire team,” Bob Copeland, director of athletics and recreational services at Waterloo, explained. “We felt that it was [important] to exonerate those who are competing clean and don’t deserve that type of cloud.” CIS was disappointed to hear of the circumstances, Marg McGregor, chief executive officer, explained: “[We] wanted to take immediate steps to ensure that we had confidence in the program, and that any athletes that were cheating were caught.” According to McGregor, the CIS has been conducting drug testing on its athletes since 1990, with only about one per cent of the tests coming back positive.

“That [statistic] suggests that the vast majority of student athletes are competing clean, following the rules, respecting the game and respecting their opponents,” she said. Following the results of the testing at Waterloo, any athlete who tested positive, self-disclosed or refused testing will be revealed to the public through CIS. At Western, athletes may be subject to both random and targeted drug testing throughout the year, in accordance with CIS and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports, explained Thérèse Quigley, director of sports and recreation services at Western. According to Quigley, all student athletes at Canadian universities must also undergo an education program on topics such as drugs, as mandated by the CIS. “The purpose is — obviously — to educate student athletes about the effects of various performanceenhancing substances, but also to educate them about the policies, protocols and the zero-tolerance [stance] that the CIS has,” she explained. Copeland agreed that education and prevention are key to supporting clean, fair sport. “My hope is that we’re able to develop better policies and education [programs] of benefit to everybody who participates in CIS football,” he said, noting that his colleagues from other universities have been supportive throughout the incident. As the events at Waterloo suggest, it is an ongoing battle to keep the drugs out of the hands of varsity athletes at schools across the country, according to McGregor. “We’re not naive enough to think that there will ever be a day when everyone will make the right ethical choices, but we’re certainly doing what we can to educate people, and to test and catch the folks who think that they can get away with it and skirt the rules.”

Thanks… PSYCH! Sometimes it’s easier to criticize than compliment. After a year of editorials discussing the follies and fallacies of many on campus, the Gazette is ending its year on a positive. Thank you to all the following, and to the many more who will remain unmentioned. It’s been a great year folks! Readers: Thanks for picking up the paper, reading the cutlines, skimming the articles and doing the Sudokus in class. Sure, we’ve called you apathetic, lazy slackers who would rather complain than get informed … but in the end you’re the reason we exist. Complainers: Thanks for making our skin thicker. We admit it’s a fearsome challenge to muster the courage to make a complaint. Your input helps make us a better paper — whether it’s through a letter, a poll vote or a faceto-face conversation. Just remember: We still have editorial autonomy. Wave/Spoke Staff: Where would we be without pad thai, beer, boring sandwiches and CLTs? Thanks for not kicking our drunk asses out of Rick nights. Jeff Armour, words cannot express our love — our bar tabs say enough. Timmies Staff: You’re always there for us when we need a greasy BELT for our hangovers, when we need that fifth coffee to get us through the day — or night — and especially when you give us that winning Roll Up the Rim cup. University Students’ Council: Sure you do a lot of hard work, but what really counts is your inability to win against us in competitive sports. Thanks for sucking at athletics. USC Presidential Candidates: We are grateful for your boundary-pushing campaigns and well-researched platforms … just kidding. Thanks for entertaining us with what students really care about — flashy ad campaigns and mascots. London Transit Commission: Only union workers have the chutzpah to go on strike during wintery weather and ask for more money during a recession, in a city with one of the highest unemployment rates. Props for giving us regular news content and forcing students to get some exercise. Rick McGhie: Words cannot explain our gratitude for the venerated Rick McGhie — who else gives us a legitimate excuse for drinking in the middle of the week? See you tonight, old friend. Chris Sinal: Thanks for the tips, the insight and for still being on campus, despite your receding hairline and increasing years. Mike Wagenman: Thanks for the soup and generally being a great neighbour. Gazetters: Unknown to most of the Western population is the massive pool of individuals who put their blood, sweat and beers into this paper. Despite readers’ doubts, we’re kind of a big deal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The last letter-to-the-editor of the year — and it’s a nice one Re: “Gazette Spoof Issue” April 1, 2010 To the editor: I just want to say thank you to the Gazette. The April Fool’s Issue was incredibly entertaining, and recent issues have been incredibly relevant. The April 6th issue was especially interesting. There was intelligent discussion of the Queen’s Alma Mater Society apology letter, and I frankly agree with the editorial discussing it. A lot of debate in the Gazette lately has been about issues of political correctness, and it’s nice to see debate about PC is still alive and well, regardless

of the controversy. On top of that, the article regarding binge drinking and eating was both relevant to student life and very well written. Up till the past week I had been reading a few articles and then tossing the paper, hoping for these changes. Finally I’m seeing the Gazette we all want: relevant, intelligent and not afraid to be disagreed with. After all, how can we discuss issues without a little controversy? Thank you Gazette, keep up the good work!

Gazette front office shares life lessons from 103 For the past few years, it has been tradition for the outgoing Gazette Front Office to say a few words on how much their time at the paper meant to them and other sappy crap like that. The brain trust of Volume 103 has decided to take a different approach. What you’ll find below are the most significant lessons the three of us have learned through our respective roles with Canada’s best daily student newspaper. While some of these points are indeed specific to the Gazette, hopefully you’ll be able to take one or two things from our experiences. Thanks for a great year. Ryan, Carly and Jaela Front Office, Volume 103

You can’t have too much of a good thing … especially when it’s caffeine. Apathy is the 21st century’s version of natural selection. Extra-curriculars teach more than “curriculars” ever will. Small talk and networking are overrated. Time is too precious to waste on building “connections” rather than friendships. Journalists are hated for writing truth. Politicians are loved for speaking lies.

USC presidential elections are a popularity contest. Sorry Tithecott. Rick McGhie isn’t the same at the Spoke. Wave 4 lyfe. Admit when you’re wrong and don’t apologize when you’re not. You will never please everyone. So don’t bother trying. Take criticism seriously, but not personally. Uninformed people are far more likely to criticize than the informed. Consider the source … in everything. Be nice to people, please and thank-you go a long way.

Ignorance is bliss.

Hungover editing does not work. See the March 19 issue of the Gazette. Just because you’re the boss doesn’t mean you

Heart beats talent any day of the week. You are probably capable of things you can’t imagine yourself doing. Anonymous is synonymous with gutless.

Gazette editors and staff members are some of the best people on campus. They put in over 40 hours of work at a student paper for no (or next to no) money, pull off decent grades and still always find time to grab a beer with you. It’s OK to take a mulligan once in a while…

Whether running on time or on strike, students always have a beef with the London Transit Commission. Walk.

The best student experience is created by the person, not the institution.

The majority of readers do not know what an editorial is. This makes us question whether the majority of readers have ever opened a newspaper that isn’t the Gazette.

From April 12-18, UWO students can enjoy a FREE* cup of premium roast coffee.

Club executives think their events are newsworthy. They aren’t (99 per cent of the time).

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, even if 30,000 people notice when you do.

Off the record should be respected … most of the time.

From the Gazette staff of Volume 103

Don’t get caught up in anything. This isn’t real life, yet.

Cameron and Chris Cornell. They came together in 1993 to record a track for Stone Free: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix.

But of all the new material, “Cold Mercenaries” stands apart and is by far the most infectious.

Plants and Animals’ much anticipated sophomore album La La Land, to be released on April 20, is being touted as tougher and louder than their debut endeavour Parc Avenue. However, the oomph factor seems to be lacking in this proclaimed rock band’s attempt at a boost in contemporary edge. Many songs trespass into the cringe-worthy territory of cheesiness (“American Idol”), while others have an already-heard-it element (“Game Shows” and “Celebration”). The majority of the tracks have somewhat of an 80s vibe that’s more peppy saxophone than rock ’n’ roll, which clashes uncomfortably with the band’s modern rock status. On the other hand, “The Mama Papa” offsets the album’s overall sleepy vibe with a rash burst of energetic sounds that catch the listener off guard, and briefly offers some fresh excitement, which eventually fades away by mid-song. The album cover art amusingly echoes the content it encompasses; like a desert, its substance lacks diversity, and drags for what seems like an eternity, without sight of anything thirst-quenching. In matters of personal opinion, one stroll through La La Land was enough. That being said, this album definitely deserves a chance; it may appeal to those with mellow tastes in the musical repertoire.

If a Nicholas Sparks movie had a recipe it would go something like this: one cup of romance, three cups of sadness, a pinch of laughter and a whole lot of themes that have been used time and time again. The Last Song, starring Cyrus, is no exception. The movie is centred around rebellious teen Ronnie Miller (Cyrus), and her younger brother Jonah (Coleman). Ronnie and her brother have been sent to spend the summer with their estranged father (Kinnear) in a small, southern beach town. A piano prodigy, Ronnie has refused to play since her parents’ divorce, even though she was accepted to Juilliard. Her father, and former piano teacher, wants to bring music back into her life but Ronnie shows him nothing but anger and hostility. While Ronnie spends day after day sulking at the beach, her lovable father and Jonah bond over creating a stained glass window for a church that burnt down. While at the beach, local boy Will Blakelee (Hemsworth) bumps into Ronnie, spilling her milkshake and creating a mess. Ronnie is not

impressed and doesn’t give him the time of day — but in true romanticdrama fashion, the two continue to run into each other and eventually form a deep bond. Throughout the summer Ronnie learns to open her heart. Don’t worry though, the inevitable tragedy of a Nicholas Sparks story is right around the corner, and definitely garners a few tears. Despite the predictability of The Last Song and its similarities to other movies of its kind, the plots come together nicely. Cyrus’ performance was mediocre, although genuine. Hemsworth plays his role well, and young Coleman proves he has the ability to portray an emotional role in a heavy movie. The Last Song should be taken for what it is — but if you’re a fan of Sparks’ novels and films, you may be left feeling a little disappointed.

Trainor brings home rugby championship Mustangs second-year centre Conor Trainor helped the Canadian Men’s Sevens rugby team defeat Wales 3519 at the Bowl Championship in Hong Kong. In a match that saw Canada build an early lead, Trainor, a 2009 Ontario University Athletics all-star, scored the lone try in the second half to secure the win for Canada.

Time to put Gaston out to pasture Zwellin’ it like it is Arden Zwelling Sports Editor

Cito Gaston must have thought he had travelled back in time. It was opening day and a Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher was carrying a no-hitter and a three-run lead into the seventh inning. Gaston probably thought this was opening day 2007 and that was Roy Halladay dominating the Texas Rangers with a no-no through six scoreless innings, not Shaun Marcum, the default 2010 Jays ace. Gaston must have figured he could just sit on his hands and let Halladay do what he does best — give the manager a day off. All that was left to do was stroll to the post-game press conference to pump Halladay’s tires and regurgitate the same old clichés about the best pitcher in baseball. Of course, this is 2010 and Gaston was clearly confused. So we can excuse the 66year-old’s incredible lapses of judgment that directly led to the Blue Jays’ 5-4 loss at the hands of the Rangers in their season opener on Monday. Any other mismanagement and Gaston should be stripped of his duties and given a comfy office at the Rogers Centre with a figurehead title and a corporate expense account. Let Gaston remain affiliated with the organization and transfer to one of the glorified pension positions — read: senior advisor or consultant —storied franchise legends take on after their contributions at field level dissipate. Then let someone who gives a damn have a chance to manage this ball club. In fact, Rogers Communications should be encouraged to pay Gaston inordinate amounts of money not to manage the Toronto Blue Jays. Stay away from the players, keep out of the dugout, don’t whisper in any ears — just go away and pick up your cheque every other Friday. Gaston has proven time and again his managerial chops are mediocre at best and Monday’s season opener was no exception. It’s not what he does — it’s

what he doesn’t do. It started in the top of the eighth inning. After Travis Snider struck out to begin the inning, Jose Bautista walked and Aaron Hill doubled, pushing Bautista to third. Adam Lind, who was three-for-three with a home run on the day, was then intentionally walked to load the bases and set up a force out at any bag. Vernon Wells stepped to the plate and singled on a line drive to left field, scoring Bautista and advancing the other runners. The Rangers immediately went to their bullpen and called on their sole left-handed pitcher, Darren Oliver, to face the next Jay, Lyle Overbay, who last season hit just .190 against left-handed pitching.

“Rogers Communications should be encouraged to pay Gaston inordinate amounts of money not to manage the Toronto Blue Jays. Stay away from the players, keep out of the dugout, don’t whisper in any ears — just go away...” It’s a shrewd managerial move, but certainly far from rocket science. In fact, expect most teams to take this strategy when Overbay comes to the plate with runners in scoring position late in a game. Of course, this ploy is easily negated by pinch hitting a right handed hitter like, oh, let’s just say Randy Ruiz who not only plays Overbay’s position but is also a career .279 hitter against left-handed pitching. This is why you have your bench. Baseball is a game of matchups and despite old guard managers like Gaston who prefer instinct over statistics — the numbers rarely lie. Overbay, of course, struck out looking on three pitches, which made way for Jays catcher John Buck and his career .244 average against left-handers. Ruiz again watched from the bench as Buck flew out to left field — at least he made contact — stranding three runners and killing the

momentum that the top of the Jays lineup had worked so hard to create. I’ll admit, baseball is hard to predict — Ruiz could have just as easily struck out or popped out like Overbay and Buck did. But the role of the manager is to put your team in the best possible position for success — not to burden it, like Gaston did with his inaction. This isn’t to say a player should be pinch hit for in the second inning because of an unfavourable matchup. But in the eighth inning of a one-run ball game with the bases loaded? There isn’t a more ideal time than that to play the matchups game. Not convinced? Consider the bottom of the ninth inning. Clinging to a one-run lead, Gaston turned to his closer, Jason Frasor, to get the final three outs. After a Michael Young double, a Josh Hamilton strike out and a Vladimir Guerrero single which moved Young to third, outfielder Nelson Cruz doubled to right field, scoring Young, pushing Guerrero to third base and tying the game. At that point, Frasor had already blown the save and in the four batters he had faced, giving up a single and two doubles. Gaston had two other closers in the bullpen, Kevin Gregg, who saved 23 games for the Chicago Cubs last season, and Scott Downs who saved nine for the Jays. But Gaston didn’t even warm one of them up. Nor did he visit the mound to talk things over with Frasor or send the pitching coach out to give instructions. Again, he did nothing. Well, he did do one thing. He ordered Frasor to intentionally walk Rangers first baseman Chris Davis to load the bases. The same Chris Davis who last year struck out in 150 of his 391 at bats, giving him the honour of tying Arizona’s Mark Reynolds for the league lead in per cent of at bats that result in strike outs. Long story short — the guy strikes out 38 per cent of the time. The least Gaston could have done was let Frasor pitch to the strikeout-king Davis instead of loading the bases for Jarrod Saltalamacchia — a career .357 hitter with the bases loaded — who fought off two pitches before sailing a 2PLEASE SEE AGING P11

At Gazette Sports we’ve heard it all during a long season covering the Western Mustangs. Here are some of our favourite words of wisdom from Western athletes and coaches. “I like making crafts. I started carving a stick, it was going to be like a hand with a bird on it, but the hand turned into only three fingers — it’s kind of like an Avatar hand. I like drawing, painting and some sculpture. Actually Babybel cheese, that wax is really good for making things — it’s really moldable. “

—Jen Cotten, Mustangs track and field On her artistic side

“If someone said the moustaches didn’t help us win I would say that is madness. I think people underestimate how vital the moustaches were.”

—Andrew Thomson, Mustangs baseball On the team-wide decision to grow moustaches

“I’m not really one for the pickup lines but I guess I would just scout out the situation and play it from there. Maybe try to get them out on the dance floor and loosen up the shoulders.”

—Keaton Turkiewicz, Mustangs hockey On his pickup strategies

“The first would be walking into a set of bleachers after a game and giving myself a concussion. The second would be walking into a hand dryer before a game and giving myself a concussion.”

—Karen Harwood, Mustangs women’s rugby On how she suffered two concussions off the field

“We worked a lot together. I was really comfortable with him standing behind me doing it.”

—Conor Elliott, Mustangs football On long snapping the ball to Guelph Gryphons kicker Rob Maver at the CFL evaluation camp

“Well let me tell ya — go to the garage sales. [laughs] It’s a pretty laid back little spot. It’s right on the lake so we spend some time out there. The garage sales are really the best.”

—Chris Dickson, Mustangs women’s golf head coach On the most exciting thing to do in his home town of Bright’s Grove, ON

“Well, he didn’t beat my record. […] That’s why we didn’t give him any more carries at the end.”

—Greg Marshall, Mustangs football head coach On Mustangs running back Nathan Riva who came 38 yards shy of breaking the Mustangs playoff rushing yardage record, 28 years to the day after Marshall set it.

Piotr Angiel/Gazette

By Gazette Sports Have you ever wondered about the rivalry between the basketball team and the volleyball team? We have. It was finally time for volleyball captain Eric Simon to clear the air. During his five years as a Mustang the six-foot-five left side hitter is a three-time Ontario University Athletics first-team all-star and was named the 2009-10 Ontario University Athletics player of the year. In the final installment of the four-part series the Gazette sat down with Simon to discuss his career at Western, nights at the Ceeps and his infamous headshot. Why did you come to Western? I came to Western because I figured I had the best chance to start for this team. It’s kind of a coincidence that I am from London, but I came strictly because of the volleyball program and there was an opening in the position I play. If you had to do it all over again, would you do anything differently? One thing I did miss out on was that our team never really got to travel anywhere. A lot of other teams will go to Florida or Europe or Cuba, but we don’t really travel out of the province, which is kind of disappointing.

What is your favourite memory on the court? Anytime we beat Queen’s is a pretty good feeling. [Western] in general has a big rivalry with them and our team in particular has a big rivalry with them too. We were down at Queen’s and we were in a fifth set and we were down 14-9 and we came back and won 16-14. That was pretty exciting to win […] there. What is the best thing about being a varsity athlete? I feel like it’s a little community of its own. I know a lot of the other varsity athletes and we have a mutual respect for each other when you see them in the gym. I’m definitely glad I did it; it’s an experience of its own. What would you tell someone who is trying to decide whether or not they should try out for varsity? Varsity is a big time commitment. I’ve see a lot of people who do it for a year and then they quit after a year or they don’t have as much fun as they thought they would. You’ve got to really love your sport if you’re

going to play on a varsity team. What is your funniest memory? One of them was me and [Mustangs libero] Patrick Johnston were in a game and both going for the ball. I basically punched him right in the face when we were both going for it and gave him a concussion on the court and he kept playing. He didn’t find it funny, but I found it kind of hilarious.

“There’s no rivalry” with basketball team CONTINUED FROM P9

games. It’s a love-hate relationship.

What’s going on with your headshot? I’m very proud of that this year, actually. My first year I took a terrible headshot and [former Mustang] Mark Sidler had a little chin up one and I thought that was sweet, so I decided to do that every year. Every year it just got higher and higher and I thought it was really funny.

How did you manage to go to Ceeps, play volleyball and be an engineering student? First off, I’m only at the Ceeps on Saturday nights so I take one night off. It’s just time management and I work really hard during the week. Before practice I’m doing homework, after practice I’m doing homework and then straight to bed then to class.

Is there a rivalry between the volleyball and the basketball team? There’s no rivalry. I get along with all of them fine and they get along with us. Our dressing rooms are right beside each other we always see each other before and after practice. It’s more just fun and games. We support them and they support us at

What’s the best chirp you’ve heard? Usually the best chirps are kind of witty, but not really offensive because the offensive ones, you just know they’re trying too hard. When we were playing at the University of Toronto, it was one of the few times we played before the women’s

team. We went out for dinner after [and I] may have had a few beverages in me. We came back and our girls were up 2-0. They began to slip and ended up going to a fifth set. Then I proceeded to chirp one specific player on U of T who eventually started to choke and cried at the end. What is next for Eric Simon? I’m currently trying to get a contract to play professional volleyball over in Europe. It’s a pretty strenuous task because there aren’t many agencies in Canada that help out with volleyball. Sometimes you can get a contract just based on your resumé and awards you’ve won. Ideally, I would like to not have to tryout because I hate tryouts, but we’ll see what happens. Piotr Angiel/Gazette

Aging Gaston can’t coach Jays to success

Clarence “Cito” Gaston Born March 17, 1944 San Antonio, Texas

CONTINUED FROM P8

Playing Statistics 11 Seasons with San Diego, Atlanta and Pittsburgh (1967-1978) 799 hits 91 home runs 387 RBIs .256 batting average 1 All-star selection (1970) Managing statistics 12 seasons with Toronto (1989-1997, 2008-2010) 809 wins 761 losses .515 winning percentage Four American League East division titles (1989, 1991, 1992, 1993) Two AL pennants Two World Series titles (1992, 1993) Two time AL all star team manager (1993, 1994)

2 curveball into centre field, over the head of Wells to cash Guerrero and win the game. Those were the moments when Gaston could have made a move in Monday’s game and possibly changed the outcome. Those precious, fleeting moments are when good managers make adjustments. And those are moments that will become all too familiar for fans of this year’s team. Sure, he’ll replace an injured player or yank a pitcher who is getting particularly pasteurized by the opposition batters, but asking for much more past that is a lot for the apathetic Gaston. This could be one of the reasons why the clubhouse literally revolted

against him at the end of last season, with several members of the team telling the media Gaston’s negative, passionless approach was falling out of favour with the players. It’s a wonder Gaston is even back behind the helm in a year when the Jays plan on developing their youth — past Lind, Gaston has shown little understanding of how to spur success in young ball players. Snider’s hitting against lefthanded pitching has hardly improved over the past years because Gaston simply doesn’t let him face left-handers. Ricky Romero — once thought of as a rookie-of-the-year candidate — fell apart in the second half of last season after Gaston over-worked him. Jeremy Accardo, who saved 30 games for the Jays in 2007, has seen

just five save opportunities since and has enjoyed permanent residence in the manager’s dog house for no apparent reason. Look, I get it. Gaston is more than just a manager. He’s a symbol — a constant reminder of the years when this team was living in the penthouse of the AL East, not the basement. But now, almost 20 years removed from those back-to-back World Series titles, it’s time to move on and pass the torch to someone with some passion for the job. In ’92 and ’93 Gaston had exceptional players like Roberto Alomar, Devon White and John Olerud to make him look capable as a manager. Today’s Blue Jays don’t provide that luxury and Gaston’s reality — a passive, archaic and ineffective manager — is clearer than ever.
