I didn’t have to worry about always having exact change and it wouldn’t take me over an hour to get to a place that was just 10 minutes away. Sure, I loved the bus as much as anyone. Who wouldn’t enjoy being packed like sardines with 50 other people into a cold and unhygienic vehicle driven by someone who has very likely spent time at Kingston

And the people I met on the bus were always tops. For some reason, it seems that the derelicts of society have decided the bus is a place where they can strike up new friendships or romances. Maybe it’s just me, but I always hoped that they would just go away. So with my eyes open and heart pumping, I embarked on my new adventure. The open road was mine. Unfortunately, after taking the bus for so long, I was used to having someone else drive for me. I was so used to staring out the window and daydreaming as I travelled that some of these habits

have given them as they saw my car hurtling full-speed towards theirs. Now, unfortunately, my ownership of the car has ended and I’m relegated to taking the bus once again. During my absence as a transit patron, changes have occurred. Routes have been altered and schedules have changed, leaving me with no idea when the bus will come. It seems my best bet now is simply to find a bus stop and wait in the hope that sometime, someday, a bus will arrive and take me where I want to go. I enjoyed my stint as a driver immensely. It gave me opportunities previously unrealized. However, it may well take me a year to pay off the parking tickets I amassed. Well, I’ve got to go. My bus should be here in a few minutes, and as we all know, Kitchener Transit is always on time.

periods in mankind’s history

when

millions of innocents were gassed,

starved and tortured to death. In broken English, Antoni Caputa recounted his horrifying five-year

ordeal (1940-45) to 30 students in

Lee Bryant’s world religion class at Conestoga College’s Doon campus.

Eighty-six year-old Antoni Caputa said that he was witness to the most heart-wrenching human dramas during his internment in Nazi concentration camps during the Second World War. Caputa said he was a sergeant in the Polish army when Hitler’s war machine rolled into Poland. Captured by the Nazis as a political prisoner of war, he was put on a train bound for a prison camp. In his quest for freedom and survival, he said he escaped by jumping from the moving train. Caputa said his landing was so hard it knocked him senseless and that it was some time before he regained his thoughts.

and it proves it can work, said Johnstone refering to his unorthodox playing patterns which were infuenced by American football and hockey. Strong defence, particularly Tammy Flanagan, Diane Dumancic and team captain Kerri Walker, stifled any chances St. Clair might have had, Johnstone said. “St. Clair was so frustrated. The girls were just running circles around them.” He said St. Clair resorted to dirty tactics, which included kicking Titizian when she was on the ground. Flanagan and Walker quickly put a stop to this with clean but tough play of their own, Johnstone said. Flanagan was nominated for player of the week due to her strong defence and toughness on the field. Johnstone said the win guarantees a minimum season end ranking of second place in their division.
