CANADIAN ALLIANCEPLATFORM

THIN ON ENVIRONMENT

By Darren Stewart Ottawa Bureau Chief

OTT AW A (CUP) The Canadian Alliance party is ignoring recent polls that s u gges I strong environmental initiatives could capture a few extra votes this fall, critics say.

The official opposition unveiled their new party platform last night in anticipation of a federal election. But there was little mention of the environment.

Angela Rickman, deputy director of the Sierra Club of Canada, said the Alliance platform held no surprises for her group, given that the opposition party is typically known for tax reform and traditional conservative values.

"What do expect from a guy who shows up on a jet-ski?" she said of Alliance leader Stockwell Day, who recently arrived at a press conference wearing a wetsuit. "Environment is not an area [the Alliance] has ever necessarily shone."

Rickman added that the Sierra Club was encouraging all parties to run campaigns with strong environmental initiatives, especially given

recent reports showing that environmental concerns are a. priority to Canadian voters.

Rahim Jaffer, official-environment critic for the Alliance party, said that the small amount of attention the platform gave the environment was not a reflection of his party's commitment to green concerns.

"We couldn't release a 100 page document because people wouldn't read it," he said. "You can get into these technical issues but to try to explain them in a platform would be very difficult."

Jaffer said the Alliance. noted the increase in public concern ano were paying more attention than ever to the environment. He added that he considered the Alliance's stance on green issues to be on par or even stronger than that of other parties.

"I think that ultimately you're going to see more pressure on all parties to consider the environment as an important topic.

"Even the Liberals, though they've 'talked a lot, really haven't done a loJ over the past seven years. The government pays lip service

and makes some mon.ey available, but there's no innovation or vision"

Stephan Legault, executive director 'for the online environmental advocacy group, Wildcanada.net, gave credit to the Alliance for mentioning endangered species, though he said the five paragraphs they devoted to green policy were weak, overall.

"I'd be embarrassed to be a Liberal given that the Alliance's ideas [regarding endangered species legislation] are stro.nger than the Liberals," he said. "But if this party wants to govern the country, they bloody well better put their best effort forward on the environment their first time out."

Still, Legault said he's doubtful that the Alliance will ever be an environmental ally.

"I don't have any faith that, if elected, this party will have a strong commitment to the environment, given their action in the house so far."

The Alliance platform is out• lined in a document called "A Time For Change" and is intended to woo voters away. from· the governing

Liberal party, who've said they will run a campaign based on "tradition~ al Canadian values".

The Alliance backed away from their co ntrov ers ial plan to imp Iemen t a flat tax and promised more money for health care and debt reduction. They also said they intend to cut funding to Human Resources, the CBC, regional development while lowering corporate taxes.

There were no mention of postsecondary education in the document, though the Alliance said Canadians "need to support programs such as health care, education and benefits for children and seniors."

They also committed to paying down the federal debt to free up future money for health care, infrastructure and education and they vowed to end the "brain drain" of graduates by lowering federal taxes.

A Pollara study late last month i found that 84 per cent of Canadians will consider the environment important when voting in the next election.

B.C. environment minister pitches environmental tax shifting

By Maia Green The Martlet

VICTORIA (CUP) In an ideal world of green taxing, you would think twice before buying a gas guzzling SUV. A tax rebate in the mail just for riding a bicycle just might sway you.

But is taxing according to environmental sustainability a reality ·now?

That was the question at the heart of a forum held in Victoria to discuss the idea of environmental tax shifting, a new initiative proposed by the British Columbia government.

The Sept. 28 forum featured Joan Sawicki, B.C. 's environment minister, Joan Russow, national leader of the Green Party and Jacquie Ackerly, president of the National AntiPoverty. Organization.

Environmental tax shifting involves a shift of taxes away from productive activities that need to be encouraged, such as jobs and investments, and towards activities that should be discouraged, such as pollution and activities that waste resources.

In order to create a product that is harmful to the environment, a business would have to pay much higher taxes, while companies that use energy-efficient or "green" technology would be rewarded by getting tax rebates.

At the meeting, Sawicki described a pilot project involving the reduction of beehive burners large incinerators used in forestry. The ministry was able to severely reduce their use through a tax shift, increasing the pollution tax for the people still using

the devices while granting a rebate to those who chose not to continue using beehive burners.

Sawicki was the first speaker at the forum. She outlined many of the benefits of green taxing' and discussed how it was working in Europe and how it was important to our planet and economy. It is time that environmental values were worked into our economy, she said.

"Progressive businesses, whether it be forestry or mining, are starting to recognize that if they want to be the leaders, to be successful in the workplace, they need. to start embracing environmen,tal innovations."

B.C. is doing well on this front, she said. The province is the national leader in emerging technologies relating to alternate fuel sources.

"Believe it or not, [businesses] are

.

listening," Sawicki said. "People want to know that a company is environmentally responsible and that they treat their workers properly."

However, Green Party leader Russow said the focus should be on the larger picture. The only way to solve environmental problems is by having stronger regulations and enforcing them, she said. A gradual tax shift is too lenient and still permits destructive activities to go on, simply costing the polluter more.

Ackerly pointed out that poor people couldn't afford to pay more taxes, nor could afford to buy environmentally sound products. Sawicki responded by saying that if environmental tax shifting was working, the sustainable product would and should be the cheapest.

Environmentalists shocked by judges.transcript

By Christopher Bolster British ColumbiaBureau Chief

VANCOUVER (CUP)

Environmentalists are condemning a decision by a British Columbia Supreme Court justice to find· eight people guilty of charges related· to protesting logging in the Elaho Valley near Vancouver.

After 43 days of testimony with 19 witnesses and 15 videotapes, Justice Glen Parrett found eight people guilty of civil and criminal contempt of court on Sept. 15. The 72page transcript of the justice's decision was released Wednesday, sparking anger in the environmental community.

"I found Justice Parrett's assertion that the environmental protesters were trying to get Interfor's workers to overreact and beat them up, to be particularly offensive and distaste-

ful," said Western Canada Wilderness Committee director Joe Foy.

In his judgment, Parrett said "the thoughtful approach and dedication of the protesters is, in my respectful view, carefully orchestrated and calculated to frustrate and provoke reactions from forestry workers for the express purpose of us·ing those reactions against the forestry company and its workers."

Foy said the JusJice's conclusions were outrageous.

"Such comments from the bench would never be tolerated regarding race or sexual assaults. They incite disrespect for the courts."

Of the eight, Parrett convicted two people, Dennis Porter and Rick McCallion, of civil contempt of court. Six people Barney Kearn, Christopher Nolan, Christopher Keats,

Reasha Wolfe, Justine Paine and Betty Krawczyk -were convicted of criminal contempt of court for violating a B.<'.:. Supreme Court injunction against interfering with legal logging operations in the Elaho Valley, 170 kilometres north of Vancouver.

Two of the protesters -71-yearold grandmother Betty Krawczyk and Ba'rney Kearn - receive~ one year sentences with no time off for good behaviour.

"These sentences are more severe than armed robbery or rape," says Bryce Gilroy-Scott, of Friends of the Elaho. "These one-year sentences without time off for good behaviour, are really more like three-year sentences."

Reasha Wolfe was sentenced to three months; Justine Paine received two months and Christopher Keats received, for compassionate reasons, a

suspended sentence with one-year probation. Christopher Nolan received two months and Rick McCallion and Dennis Porter will be sentenced after an Appeal Court case regarding earlier convictions of Elaho protesters is heard.

The Elaho is the last significant grove of old growth forest in B.C. 's Lower Mainland region. Douglas Firs and Western Red Cedars date back more than a thousand years and the area is home to B.C. 's southern most population of Grizzly bears and endangered species, including the spotted owl.

Environmental groups such as the Western Canada Wilderness Committee (WCWC) have long campaigned for the Elaho to be part of a national park called the Stoltmann

MARCHING TOWARDS.RECOGNITION:

World March of Women 2000 brings together Canadians and the world Tuesday

By Bernice Pontanilla, The Manitoban and Tina Christopoulos, The Link

WINNIPEG AND MONTREAL (CUP)Imagine thousands of women walking along a long line, carrying banners with messages of frustration, pain and rage at the continued, systematic poverty and violence affecting their daily existence.

Imagine these worn en co II ecti ng si gnatures from all over the world, in all languages, appealing to those in the highest levels of global power, asking for an end to violence and poverty.

The idea for a march attempting to raise awareness of women's issues eyolved in the mid-'90s after discussions within the Quebec Women's Federation in 1995 and the success of the Canadian Women's March for Bread and Roses in 1996. To add to this, attendees at the 19-95 Fourth Conference on Women in Beijing decided that· something had to be done to draw more awareness to the problems women face daily. No one knew how the idea would grow to become the World March of Women 2000.

The March is a continuation of the struggle to achieve the ideals discussed throughout the four major world conferences on women convened •by the United Nations. Events for the World March of Women 2000 began on International Women's Day, March 8 of this year. It was then that a signature campaign was held and where 140 women from 16 countries met in Montreal to devise a plan of action. Each country was allowed to arrange its own days of action in the hope that every .interested individual would have the chance to participate in this global display of women's solidarity.

"The idea is not to focus solely on a global level because an international campaign is not effective without a strong national action," says_ Alexa Conradi, responsible for the organization of the March in Quebec and a member of the Federation des Femmes du Quebec.

The Canadian Women's March Committee has put together a document entitled "It's Time for Change" lists various demands including proposals that deal specifically with the rights of aboriginal women and lesbians.

"Lesbian mothers can still lose custody of children, despite overwhelming proof that children in lesbian homes grow up healthy," reads the document.

Gay rights remain very controversial in sbme areas of the world, especially in countries where being homosexual can mean f aci n g p u n i s h m e n t s ran g i n g fro m i m pr i s o nm en t to death. To address those differences, countries that support the document can opt out of that particular section. •

"The risk for lesbian women is still huge today. But the proposals will remain on the agenda because groups belonging to coun-

Got news?

tries like Canada and the United States, who have the freedom to be honest about their homosexuality, need to give their full support," says Conradi.

The Committee wants to present the document to the federal government.

All around the globe, women have been organizing and carrying out events in preparation for the Canadian march in Ottawa this coming Sunday and the main global march in New York next Tuesday.

"We see this as a stepping stone for the Canadian women's movement in shaping the direction of where we need to go as women in Canada in order to truly achieve equality," says Pam Kapoor, organizer of the Canadian Women's March Committee. "The "beauty of a global campaign is that it brings to light issues that are very current [and] very timely in terms of the international component. we face as women." Kapoor is mostly eager about the committee's face to face meeting with the Minister of Finance, Paul Martin, and possibly Prime Minister Jean Chretien next Tuesday.

Among the international demands for the eradication of poverty and violence in the lives of women are:

o the can.cellation of the debt of all third world countries

o an end to embargoes and blockades, which principally affect women and children

o the right to asylum for female victims of sexist discrimination, persecution and violence

one of their campaign strategies for 2000-01.

"I think we've reached a time when women on campuses are really feeling threatened that the gains that we've made are starting to be clawed back," she says. "·Women are responding [to the march] really well."

Students will meet at the University of Ottawa this Sunday. From there they will join the main march which makes stops at the Bank of Canada, the Human Rights Monument and the US Embassy. It is expected that the Ottawa event will draw tens of thousands.

Each participant has their own story as to how he or she became involved. The CoChairs of the Winnipeg march organizing committee, Virginia Hnytka and Pauline Riley, were both e.xcited about their march on September 17, which drew, a crowd of about 1,500 women, children and men. Riley believes the march is the largest movement of its kind in recent history.

"I think what really appeals to me is that I know women all over the world throughout this year have been doing the same things [we have]," says Riley. "There is a real connection there."

"The system real problems," violence against tax cuts."

Ask Aunt Anne

Dear Aunt Anne,

I am 24 years old, married, with one child and another on.the way. I live on a street with many families with young children and we often stand around and talk while our children play together. Recently I happened to mention how old I was and they all freaked out: They couldn't believe I was that young having children. I am now the butt of all their jokes "Oh, it's past your bedtime'', "We're going to have to card you when we have you over for a drink" etc They have made me feel very self conscious about myse If whenever I join in the conversation now. I feel like they no longer think I have anything worthwhile to say. I want to try to prove to them that I'm not just a kid but I don't know how. Any suggestions?

Young but not stupid

Dear Young and Smart,

Do not bother trying to prove your anything to your neighbours. They already have their assumptions. What you can do is call them on the not so funny jokes. When they say "Oh, it is past your bedtime", rebut them by saying in a humourous but

sarcastic tone, " Thank you for your concern, MOM!". With an emphasis on the "MOM". You might want to consider taking the main perpetrator aside and letting them know that you do not share their sense of humour. Keep in mind that you are young, smart, and successful and this causes jealousy in older people and this is the reason fqr their rude and adolescent jokes.

Dear Aunt Anne,

My husband farts in his sleep, and it disturbs my rest. I have to leave the room quite ·often. I love my husband and do not want to hurt his feelings. And Aunt Ann he sleeps naked, help me!

Victim of Slicing the Cheese

Dear Victim,

Ensure that your husband does not eat any beans or broccoli before bed. Tell him that it is for his safety to wear boxers in case of a fire that would need him to make a quick escape. If that does not work, when he farts, kick him hard in the bare ass with your cold feet!

Human resources: the people department

One of the largest employers in the Fraser Valley is the City of Abbotsford. Since January I, 1995, the Districts of Abbotsford and Matsqui amalgamated to form the City of Abbotsford. Yet still, five years later the new City is still continuing to change and evolve into one of the largest communities in B.C.

Human Resources (HR) not only oversees the City's staffing needs, but also to provide labour relations, orientation, training, payroll and benefits for its employees. The variety of occupations is as diverse as the range of services the City provides to its residents. Some of the positions inc I ude clerks, pl ann e rs, drafting technicians, programmers, engineers, labourers and a variety of student positions. The latter is how I became a part of the City workforce. I had started as a Co-op student with this organization and have completed three work terms in HR. However, with the experience and knowledge gained,

my role as a student has evolved to a full-time position.

One of the purposes of Co-op, is to allow students an opportunity to gain skills relevant to their future career goals. From a student's perspective I feel that purpose has definitely been met, and had it not been for Co-op, I would not have had the same prospects in obtaining my current position of Human Resources Assistant. Cheryl Harvey, the Acting Human Resources Manager at the City, says "We've used the Co-op programs at UCFV and have always been happy with the quality of the students. Deep is an excellent student. In fact, we've hired her on a permanent basis!"

Compared to other organizations, this HR Department is relatively small. It is comprised of seven people to cover not only HR but also Payroll and Health & Safety. Thus I've had the opportunity to gain the skills of a generalist as opposed to

just one area of expertise. My job duties range from recruitment to WCB claims to Internet/Intranet development.

One of the reasons I chose this line of work is because of the level of interaction with people. Though I am able to work independently, I enjoy working with others. As Allyson McBride, HR/Payroll A n a·l y st s a y s , " Dee p i s a I w a y s cheerful, willing to work with and help others to get the job at hand done."

SURVIVOR MAKESTHE GRADEAT U OF A

By Jon Dunbar Gateway

EDMONTON (CUP) A University of Alberta professor plans to make a re-enactment of the television game show Survivor an optional part of his philosophy course.

Professor Oliver Schulte said students in Philosophy 325: Risk, Choice, and Rationality can play Survivor and get graded on their ability to stay in the game.

"In phys ed they have sports, and students are graded on their ability," Schulte said.

"If Rudy had taken this course, he would have walked away with the million dollars."

Scholle revealed his plan at a recent discussion about the television show at a philosopher's gathering entitled "The philosophy of Survivor: a look at self-interest and morality."

"People didn't watch Survivor the same way the watch the Olympics," Schulte said. "Our fascination with it is wondering about ourselves."

He asked attendees to consider three questions: What's so bad about Richard? Which islander did they think they would have been most like? Who on the island had the best strategy?

According to Schulte, viewers had no problem concluding that Richard was a "bad scheming person, [and that] Richard was phenomenally unpopular."

He contrasted Richard with the seemingly virtuous Gretchen and Greg.

"Gretchen could not detach herself emotionally like Ri.chard could," Schulte said. "Virtues are their own reward, but nice guys finish last."

Schulte said that he is still in the process of gaining approval from the university to run the activity, which he said would take place over the Internet out of necessity.

Environmen~alists shocked by judges transcript

Wilderness, named after the late B.C. mountaineer and environmentalist Randy Stoltmann.

Vancouver based International forest Products (lnterfor) is licensed by the provincial government to log in the Elaho and had obtained several court injunctions to try to prevent protesters from interfering with its work. This has not deterred dozens of people from demonstrating their opposition by various means of civil disobedience.

Police are permanently stationed in the forest, which is also patrolled by Interfor security guards. There have been numerous arrests and violent confrontations between loggers and protesters in the last two years.

On the one·-year anniversary of a well-publicized attack on the Elaho protestor 's camp, ju.slice Parrett criticized the RCMP in his oral judgement for failing to properly investigate lnterfor with relation to the attack.

"We will be interested in seeing what kind of justice we will get when the RCMP get around to investigating the incident," says Gilroy-Scott.

"In the mean time, we find the treatment by the courts· to be incredibly punitive."

Foy, who was present in co 1urt while Justice Parrett read his two hour judgment aloud, said he was 'particularly shocked' that Dennis Porter, a young video journalist, was found guilt of civil contempt of court, even though he claimed his sole reason for being in the Ela ho Valley was to video-document

the ongoing protest.

In his judgment, Justice Parrett said he had viewed Porter's "Hoods in the Woods," a video about Interfor loggers fighting with conservationists in the Elaho Valley, and said that he believed that the video was not balanced. Parrett reasoned that Porter was therefore not an independent member of the media -and found him guilty of civil contempt of court.

"I'm really shocked by Justice Parrett's reasons for judgement with regard to Mr. Porter. I believe them to be an attack on our Canadian concept of freedom of the media; " says Foy. "Just because Mr, Porter is not working for one of the billionaires who now control much of Canada's media is no reason to punish him for bravely doing his job documenting the conflict going on in the Elaho Valley. If he'd been working for the Vancouver Sun or BCTV I don't believe he ~ould have been found guilty."

General manager of Interfor's South Coast Operations Keith Rush said he was mildly surprised by

the severity of some of the sentences handed down Sept. 15.

"I think the previous sentences back in May or June were tending to get longer, but given the conduct of Barney Kearn and his repeated flaunting of court orders, and Betty Krawczyk, having been arrested numerous times, maybe it's not so surprising," said Rush.

On May 26, Justice Parrett jailed four people who broke 'a court order for terms ranging between 14 and 56 days.

Rush said due public process had already taken place during the provincial government's land use planning and protected areas strategy, which led to the Clendenning watershed being protected as a park.

"The Clendenning watershed is a huge area of trees far superior to those in the Elaho. The groups still disputing our work opted out of the public proce'ss."

Rush said he doubted whether the jail terms would win more public sympathy for the protesters.

their social and financial condition.

By Pascal Faucher Montreal Campus

The setting is the University of in Montreal (UQAM). The time is 1970. The event: the Front de Liberation du Quebec (FLQ) Crisis. ,

Very influenced by leftist currents, some UQAM community members sympathized with the demands from the beginning. On Oct. 16 an assembly of professors officially supported the manifesto, while students were calling for a strike.

Quebec

After 30 years of referendums, protests and new prime ministers, some would be inclined to forget· that piece of Canadian history. But UQAM witn·esses remember.

Some remember because of the FLQ's terrorist acts, others remember because they weren't able to trick or treat that year. But UQAM faculty and staff remember their university being shut down for five days.

As a breeds ing-ground of various revolutionary movements, UQAM, which had just blown its first candle, became the centre of events. Jacques Cossette-Trudel and Louise Lanctot, two students at UQAMand parents of current Parti Quebecois youth wing leader Alexis CossetteTrudel -were part Pierre Laporte of the "Liberation" cell that kidnapped British diplomat James Cross on October 5, 1970.

The next day, the FLQ's first press release Was distributed at UQAM. The Frontdemanded the liberation of FLQ members imprisoned for their militant activities, the rehiring of 450 truck drivers fired by the federal minister ih charge of the post office and a $500,000 ransom deposited in gold bars.

Their manifesto also called for the emancipation of all Quebecers oppressed by the precariousness of

But this was a waste of time. The night before, the War Measures Act was enforced, leading to the closing of the university. Chains and locks weighed on the school's doors for five days.

A place for higher learning and P.Olential terrorists

"The first thing authorities hit was UQAM. It was 'full of terrorists,' they said," remembers the communications' department's Ph.D. program director Jean-Paul Lafrance, hired by the university in 1969. "They maintained that they had found two students with knives. Knives! We were very insulted."

The professors' union's first vice-president, Louis Gill, recalls ]:>eing ousted from his office by plain-clothes officers who had come to lock up the university. Former Marxist militant Jean-Marc Piotte remembers officers storming his· political science class to arrest his teaching assistant.

Soon after, 6,000 soldiers had invaded Montreal to reinforce martial law. Until April 30, 1971, individual liberties were suppressed, public meetings. were forbidden and police could arrest anyone without a warrant and deta_in them for up to 21 days.

"Professors panicked during· the operation," Piotte says-. ''Some went to hide in the country side. For the government, there were thousands of FLQ members in Quebec, but in fact there was never more than 25."

The War Measures Act resulted in 3,000 searches and 450 arrests. No charges were laid on over 90 per cent of those arrested.

"The army had to keep people quiet," Piotte says. "Prime Minister Trudeau thought he could 'break' the sovereignist movement and everyone who contested."

'6,000 soldiers had invaded Montreal to reinforce martial law. Until April 30, 1971'-, individual liberties were suppressed, public meetings were forbidden and police -could arrest anyone without a warrant and detain them for up to 21 days.'

Dead end

Insulted by the government's inaction following the first kidnapping, a second -FLQ cell sequestered Quebec vice-premier and Minister of Labor and Immigration Pierre Laporte on October 10. Their demands, similar to those of the "Liberation cell," were not answered. Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa was cautious, letting time pass and hoping the kidnappers would eventually free Laporte.

Seven days later, Laporte was found strangled near the St-Hubert military base. James Cross was luckier. His abductors turned him back to the authorities in exchange for a one-way ticket to Cuba. •

After Laporte's death, the sympathy of Quebecois towards the FLQ disint e gr at e_d rapidly.

" T h e FLQ was a mistake. Terrorism is not justified where a democratic s p a c e exists. The violence only fed the ambient conservatism," says po Ii tic a I science lecturer Jacques

Jourdain. He is helping in organizing this Friday's La Memoire d' Octobre, an upcoming conference at UQAM recalling the events of the FLQ Crisis.

Robert Comeau, an ex-FLQ member and now a history professor at UQAM, is also critical look of the movement he used to be part of.

"Being a little more detached from the events, I would say the FLQ was a dead end," says Comeau, who used to write their press releases.

"After the death of Laporte, I dropped out. Terrorism is never effective because the people in power always have more means.

"Police had UQAM under strict surveillance. I thought a car used to follow me all the time. In fact, there were 14. I discovered in 1980 that I had been under electronic surveillance -for 10 years: in my office, in my house and in -my car."

The former militant of En Lutte, a publication calling itself an agent of social change, was also spied upon by fellow lecturer Carole de Vault for two years and also by a friend for another eight years.

Comeau says it's unfortunate that the events of 1970 are rarely discussed in school. In order to revive the memory of this important event in Quebec's political history, Comeau is currently re-editing the shocking testimony of Francis Simard -one of Laporte's kidnappers.-

"We just like to rock it out", explained Bill Priddle of Treble Charger when I asked him about the punk direction of the new album Wide Awake Bored. Rock it out? Who uses that expression outside of Van Halen? I mean the eighties called and they want their expression back.

All kidding aside, Treble Charger and their guests Zukerbaby put on one big sonic extravaganza. Were two bands that only a couple of years ago were dismissed as one hit wonders. Now they have two hits. Calgary based Zuckerbaby, traveling in support of their new album Platinum opened wi.th the soon to be very overplayed song "Drive. Me Down". The ten people who had gathered around the front of the stage started bobbi'ng their heads and staring like birds of prey at the band. This is the problem with every opening band, they play hard and get no recognition. After a few songs, a couple of ears had started to perk up and it was time for Andy Eichhorn, Zuckerbaby ,s lead axe man (mindless rock reporter lingo) to try and. make friends with the crowd. "I like to drink" he said, and then he drank. E-veryone cheered like he had just scored the w·inning cheerleader at the Superbowl. Andy had made his connection. After ii another few songs, notably "Inside/Outside", it was time for Andy to say a little more to his new friends.

"Hey, its Thursday, lets start the

He received many confused looks. Andy turned to fellow band-mate Reed Shimozawa, who mouthed something back. After another brief pause, "Wednesday? Hey, lets drink!" All was well again.

The rapport with the c ro w d s t i 11 u n b r ok en, Zuckerbaby launched into "Overexposure". By this time, the crowd, whose ranks had swelled to almost thirty, seemed to have broken through their lethargy and seemed to be really "in to" it. (Another cool rock reporter expression). By the time Zuckerbaby finished their set with "Andromeda", everyone was fully "stoked". I was left to reflect on how much -the show "rocked" while we· listened to remixed pop. songs and waited for Treble Charger.

After a brief stoppage, some fans braved the Madonna and Backstreet Boys to get closer to the stage. These are what you call "true diehards".

Out they came, the bearers of "music that kicks your ass, kisses your cheek and sends you home with that happy just-been-rocked glow". Yes, someone is credited to actually writing that. Building on the crowd that Zuckerbaby had already got going, Treble Charger started with a cheery song entitled "Died". With songs like "Busin.ess", "Friend" and "Wear Me Down" , they made sure. that everyone was "rocking it' out". This fine group of young men did a very good job. The twenty something drunk sausage fest crowd even got into it. A side note: Treble Charger is way shorter in person than on T.V. They all are the skinny, art type, but they sure can project, which brings me to the sound.

The rodies sure deserved their ... what do they pay those guys ·with any way? The sound set up was super for both Zuckerbaby and Treble Charger. I am told that this is not easy to do because of the size and shape of Animals Niteclub.

Back to Treble Charger's performance. By the time they played "Red" everything was starting to get a little out of hand. It seemed as though everyone had come there to see Treble Charger and drink, but not necessarily in that order. The whole place erupted in "psychotic insanity" when they played "American Psycho". That was it. Grown men were being tossed around,: there was a tug of-war between the bouncei:_s and the crowd over one guy who was trying to jump the barricades. The crowd lost and the guy was tossed like a proverbial midget.

After "Psycho" Treble Charger left the stage but constant cheering

and the I ure of free booze, which they graciously shared, brought them back for an encore performance, finishing up with the "melodic swoop" of "Far Astray". Treble charger proved to me and everyone there that night that they were no longer the geeky alternative rockers that we once thought they were. We got some crazy good Canadian talent coming through The Valley this fall, so I recommend you go out and catch some of it.

UCFV on the road

Womens split games

-Jessica Danylchuk Cascade writer

The women's trip to the interior, on the weekend of Sept. 29 and 30, was successful compared to their male counter-parts. The girls split their games, with one win and one loss. Their first game was played on Friday the 29th against the University College of the Cariboo Sun Demons. The Demons came out with guns blazing and the women found themselves down 2-0 at the half.

UCFV ruined any chances for a UCC shut out in the second half when Cascade Samantha Hamilton scored on a penalty shot to cut Cariboo's lead in half. Unfortunately, UCC struck late in the game to ensure a 3-1 loss for UCFV.

The goaltending was juggled twice throughout the course of this game. Amber Prosser started in net and played the entire first half. Prosser was then replaced by Amy Van Zant for the second half. Van Zant was forced to leave the gam after being kicked in the head by a OUC forward. Prosser was then brought back to finish the game.

The next day brought brighter results, as the Cascades traveled down the highway to Kelowna to (ake on Okanagan University College. UCFV got off to a quick start with Deanna Hawes, of Chilliwack, scoring first for the Cascades.

The Cascade women continued the scoring and were up 4-0 by hair" time. Both teams scored on\: goal each in the remaining 45 minutes to make the final score 5-1 for UCFV.

J a c k i e S c h m i t, Man dee p G i 11, also each notched one goal a piece, and Laurie Blakeway continued to show why she's the top goal scorer in the league, adding two more goals to her totals.·

P r o s s e r a n d V a n Z a n t, a g a i n shared .the duties of goal keeping, each played a half.

On Saturday, Oct. 7, the UCFV women took on Douglas College at Bateman Park in Abbotsford.

Douglas was ranked fourth in the nation coming into the game, posting a tough challege for UCFV.

The Cascades were down 2-0 until UCFV's Hamilton scored on another penalty shot. Hawes then tied it up 2-2. UCFV had a great chance in the dying minutes but were unable to capitalize on the opportunity.

Injuries keep Cascade men down

On their first mini road trip of the season, the UCFV soccer teams traveled to Kamloops and Kelowna on Sept. 29 and 30. Both teams played two matches in two days with mixed results against the University College of the Cariboo and Okanagan University College.

Injuries seems to be the theme of the season so far for the Cascade men as they have over half of their roster either out with injuries, playing with injuries, or just coming off injuries. Consequently, this battered team took a further beating on the field against Cariboo on Friday, Sept. 29, losing 5-1 in Ka_mloops.

They found themselves down 5-0 against UCC until the Cascades finalized the score at 5-1 when striker Jamie McNeil (from Langley) and Matt Hale (from Maple Ridge) combined for Ha I e's third goal of the season.

The next day, the guys to.ok on Okanagan University College with somewhat better results. Despite the injuries, the Cascades dominated significant portions of the game as well as out shooting their opponents 25-11.

The Cascades had excellent opportunities throughout the first half from Hale, McNiel and first year midfielder Jarrid Masdell.

Unfortunately, UCFV's firing squad was shut out the entire first half with credit going to OUC's spectacular goalie, Jason Relvas.

It wasn't until the 69th minute when UCFV failed to clear a corner kick, which allowed OUC to pull ahead 1-0.

More point blank saves by OUC goalie Re Iv as frustrated Cascade midfielders, Sean Hayes and Jason Barnes, on two more superb attempts in the second half. I

Cariboo notched their second goal of _the game on a penalty kick in the 84th minute as they continued to shut down the UCFV attack Finally, in the first minute of injury time, Barnes chipped a shot over Relvas, settling the score at 2-1 for Cari boo.

The UCFV men continued their losing streak on Oct. 7 at home against Douglas College. They lost another heart brea_)cer 2-1, furthering their record to 0-6-1.

Preseason showing on the courts

Both UCFV basketbll teams were 1n action over Thanksgiving at the annual Capilano tourney

-Desiree Hayhew Cascade writer

Both UCFV basketball teams participated in the annual Blues Classic Basketball tournament at Capilano College over the Thanksgiving weekend. As any tournament, it's a chance to play teams within the league and to work out any bugs in the plays. Both men and women's teams had a good showing, each winning two out of three.

Women

For a team consisting of mostly first year players, this tournament was a chance for the women to play together as a team before their play

would have an effect on the standings. Cascade Annie Krygsveld tallied 20 points in an easy 96-13 win over a very weak Kwantlen team on Friday. The Cascade women then took on the Trinity Western Women on Saturday and were down by 8 at the half with a score of 16-24. The women failed to bridge the gap and lost with a final score of 35-51.

The third game, played against the hosts Capilano Col Iege on Sunday, began with a bang, taking UCFV up 35-24 by halftime. With less then 5 minutes left to play, Trinity rallied to take a three-point lead over the Cascades, and it didn't look prom1s1ng. Two time outs later, it was like a new team on the court.

Pre-Season (Exhibition) BasketballSchedules

The women fought back and recovered for a two-point win in their final game.

Men Friday's game against Douglas College was the only loss for the men. Starting weak and never completely coming together as a team, Douglas had them from the jump ball, leading UCFV 29-35 at the half, and winning the game 63-70.

The second game, played on Saturday, was against Malaspina. UCFV started strong, going on an 18 to zero run, but gave away 13 points in the first half on foul shots alone. At half time, the game was 44-31 for UCFV. The second half was

somewhat slower, but much better orchestrated, than the first. Working together, the men came off with an 82-61 win. Sean Horner was top scorer with 17 points.

Game three was against Okanagan University College. Starting with a three point shot, momentum built until halftime. In the second half, a lead of 35-27 dropped quickly Lo a two-point deficit. Struggling to ward off the OUC players, the men fought back in the last five minutes, allowing only two baskets for Okanagan, and snatching a UCFV 72-64 win.

UCFV Gallery Review

work by Jill Bain.

-James Clark Cascade writer

The most recent exhibition in the UCFV Gallery is described by Don Murray as "having fun with shapes and colours [and] there is nothing really to think about". This is a collection of trinkets, pictures and wirey bits that as a whole, is kind of cool looking.

When one steps into the gallery one will be confronted by a huge red ladder to the right. Do not be afraid, this is not part of the exhibit. To the left, a collection of photos by Grace Tsurmaru dominates the wall. Overall, the piece went with the theme of fun with shapes and colours, but unfortunately, they were not really my

kind of thing. The five landscape photos beside them are my kind of thing.

One gets a sense of the natures' beauty, even when man made elements are introduced, such as· roads, pipes etc., the lines and shapes seem to blend into a nice mosaic. The nail polish lines and squiggles on little boxed canvases by Jill Bain didn't really do much for me.

I like to touch things and "Portrait 2000" by Diana Burgoyne helped me get in touch with my feminine side. The breast side, if you touch the copper, has a rather course representation of man's greatest aspiration. Bruce Pashak's "Symphony of commonality 3rd movement," which might be more appropriately named "A Big Grey Life Like Hoarse" is

really good. The peace says, "I am the product of a talent artist who likes eighties colours." I can respect that.

Plexiglas encased trinkets, four rolls of hockey tape, two laminated cedar beams on a smooth metal table, would seem like a recipe for poor giant hockey, but it's not. Instead Don Murray was experimenting with the wedge shape in "Blueline 2000". The form mixed in with all the different textures; the wood, metal plastic and cloth looks very modern art. With no stated story or message, the only way to judge whether it's good or not, is if you think it looks cool with all the stuff ordered that way. I can see where the wedge shape is cool but I prefer squares so it's not

really my thing.

Overall the artwork in the gallery is pretty fun to look at even if some of it isn't as fun as let's say, midget wrestling of golf. But a lot of it has to do with breasts so it's worth a look-see.

Don Murray's creation.

This is a brave album to make.

Rad .ioh ea d, one of the most influential bands of the late 1990's, have always pushed ahead with their nihilistic world view, pulling -the musical landscape along with them. On Kid A, they depart from this formula making an album more from the sidelines than the forefront.

The bleak outlook is still present; the title is a reference to the cloning of the first human baby, which lead singer Thom Yorke believes has already been accomplished. Beyond the dark imagery, the similarities disappear into a wandering stream of uneasy sounds. With the band pulling a Pearl Jam,

Remember the Titans Soundtrack

According to Greek mythology, the Titans were even more powerful than the Gods. Remember the Titans is a powerful and energetic soundtrack. The movie is more of the same. This album is one of the best I've heard. Remember the Titans soundtrack is full of songs that you hear once in a while but wish you heard more often. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Cat Stevens,

and refusing to promote this album with a co-rresponding video, or by conducting a rash of interviews, the commercial prospects of this album are limited. Its a shame, because by the end of the disc, Radiohead produce an extremely interesting piece.

This album, with its disquieting m es s a g e fo r h u m an i.ty be g i n s strangely enough with the unassuming graces of "Everything in its Right Place". The unbalanced feel proceeds from tpere. Of the ten songs on this album, there are s-everal instrumentals, and only a few singles are reminiscent of the bands previous releases. The fourth sDng, "How to Diappear Completely", is dragged along by a lackadaisical bass line, which slowI y grabs the I is ten er, before disp I a yin g the , first recognizable sighting of Yorke's distinguishable tenor voice.

Radiohead's influences on this album are more pronounced, than in previous efforts. The instrumental

"Treefingers", could just as easily be a track from Plastikman, as the title track could be from Air. The music in the curiously named "ldiotequ", could have lead Aphex Twin, Richard D. James, checking with a good copyright lawyer. As for the influences behind the avantejazz ending of "National Anthem", composed by guitarist Johnny Greenwood and played by The Orchestra of St. Johns, one could only guess.

The brilliance of Radiohead, is the g Iue behind this work. A cohesiveness, which really sho.uld be impossible given the oddities found on this album, is maintained throughout the album. This was definitely not the work which most fans were expecting, but it is one in which, gjven several listens, people will appreciate. Radiohead's latest album has to be taken with .a small d·egree of patience, to overcome its latent quirkiness. But if this concession is given, it is paid back dutifully with Kid A.

C. C.R., Norman Greenbaum and Leon Russell make this s o u n d,t r a c k great. I would recommend certain tracks to listen to, but they all have their pl ace and it wouldn't be prudent to single any out.

The soundtrack has a great com-

bination of soul and folk with a taste of classical to top it all off. If you've ever caught yourself listening to your parents music collection and enjoying it you'll love this CD. It's hard to say whether you should go see the movie first or get the CD first. I would suggest going to the movie first. This way you can hear the music before you buy it. There are some songs in the movie which, unfortunately, did not end up on the soundtrack. However, the album does not·_·,, ·

Sarah Harmer "You Were Here"

The first question that popped to mind when I started listening to 'Around This Corner', the first song on You Were Here, was 'who in the world plays music with a. clarinet as accompaniment?'. The short, and most convinient answer for this review, would obviously be Sarah Harmer, ex of Toronto's Weeping Ti I e.

On this, her first major label solo • album, Harmer uses everything from a dobro to a drum machine to the aforementioned clarinet, to create an airy folk, rock, and pop sound. She fills a void in the Canadian music

scene that has been present since the splitting of Halifax's jale, in 1997. Her inclusive, skilled lyrics should strike a chord with almost all who listen to her, and her elegant voice makes the music uniquely her own.

Faster songs, like "Lodestar", make for a great shift from the majority of the album, but also stir a desire for more· songs in the same mode. Other criticisms of the album are quite superficial (like the real-

ly poor cover picture, such as the cliched opening of the song "Basement Apt"). This album fits nicely in between compar1s1ons with Liz Phair and the folk-rock explorations of Emmylou Harris.

98 "Revelation"Degrees

Since their emergence onto the music scene in 1997, 98 degrees has made themselves known for their romantic ballads, not to mention their good looks. With their new album, Revelation, the group moves beyond their typical balladflavored material to encompass a variety of musical flavors.

Band members Nick and Drew Lachey, Jeff Timmons and Justin Jeffre are very excited about the new album for two big reasons. The first is a result of their partic-

"throw me in the trash."

I'm adm~tting from the start, I don't usually like R&B, but did find some tracks on this album to some extent.

Soundcrew have performed as opening acts for famous artists such as, LL Cool J and D'Angel·o., They are the official DJ soundcrew

of the Toronto Raptors; whatever that is. Catching me off guard w.as the fact that the group is Canadian, as is evident by the presence of such Canadian notables as S a u k r a t e s, K a r d i n a I O ff i s h a I, and Jolly Black on their album. However this album is more than just Canadian conten't, it has a large filling of American acts inc I u d !n g D r. D re, D M X, S i s q o, Montell, Red and Meth, the Hot Boy z, Jay Z, Mary J. B Ii g e and Ami I. All in all this is quite a good collection of this years more

popular R&B and Hip-Hop joints. Unfortunately, the splash of reggae dampens the album.

ipation in its creation. The band cowrote 11 of the album's 13 tracks.

Drew says, "I th i.n k its going to reflect on the album-we feel so close to the songs." The second reason being their attempt to not limit themselves to their typical sound; rather to try different styles.

The versatility is evident from the Latin-influenced "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)", the

hip-hop spirited "Dizzy", and the danceable funk of "You Should Be Mine". But don't fret girls, the boys are still singing about love and loss-and living life to the fullest. There are many songs on the album, including "My Everything" and ·"Always You and I" that reflect the group's traditional romantic sound.

In fact, "My Everything" is actually inspired by Nick's relationship with solo artist Jessica Simpson. So, as Nick sings, "My life is yours alone, the only love I've ever known", just think about how

Despite the restrictions of the material (I mean, how much more elaboration on love can they possibly make?), 98 degrees pulls off another fine album, and one that ·will undoubtedly keep their fans happy and still listening for more.

This was the question set out to answer as I entered the doors of Strung out on Beads to view Stuckle's "Violet Spectrµm" exhibit. After an hour of examining and pondering his work I left with a whole new set of completely different questions. Who am I, and where do I fit in this place we perceive as a world?

Art is meant to enlighten us, to give us a new insight, or to force us to question things we never questioned possible. Art is about pushing bou.ndaries, and Stuckle was successful in pushing me out of my boundaries into a deeper realm of thought.

Non-objective", "conceptual", "abstract expression-ism" are the terms Stuckle uses to describe the style of his work. In other words he isn't just painting a recognizable picture of a landscape or a portrait, he is doing much more. Stuckel manipulates his surface with paints and various media to portray a story or an idea to the viewer, and then he takes it one step further-he leaves it open for interpretation. This causes the viewer to become more consciously involved_ with his work of art.

With titles such as "Do you see me watching you?" "Mortal Ca-se," and "Stimulate me" the viewer is automatically drawn, wanting to know

However, it is Stuckle's artistic style that really gets the mind rolling. Expressive brush strokes, "need,to-touch" texture, and the rich, saturated colours draw the outline for the almost subliminal message of the story that Stuckle is attempting to tell. • In his piece; "When is too far?" Stuckle con-

topic of advances in technology and what will happen in our future. Will we be overcome or become computers? What values will technology take away from society as a whole? It is easy to see why this particular piece was such a hot topic at the opening of this exhibit.

Do you see me watching you?" (above) was the first piece to catch my eye and the first_ one I decided to study. I got a great sense of vast open space and a strong sense of energy emanated from the canvas as I looked into its big open sky. Now of course, my theoretical, conceptuptual in_terpretation of this particular work is going to vary from that of the artist or interpretation of this particular work is going to vary from that _pf the artist or that of the person standing nex·t to me, and this is Stuckle's purpose. He· wants to capture people be his images and allow them to interpret the piece into their own terms.

For Stuckle art is his therapeutical diary of expression, "I believe art ~s for eyes that yearn for vision, and a love that years to capture hearts." He finds the greatest pleasure,· of art is "losing himself in something that is outside of himself." When he is creating art he can let out his angst or passion towards life. He also adds that he prefers oil as his medium because, "it's like your molding and morphing the image together." Although he has never attended a formal Visual Arts program this is Stuckle's second exhibit.

For those of you who missed the full house opening you can experience his work at Strung out on Beads until the den of October. Be sure to stop in and check it out, this is one resident artist you will want to kee·p your eyes on.
