london greening Faculty of education hopes to teach downtown out in advance for st. Paddys day
Cameron Smith GazeTTe sTaFF Establishments all over London are preparing to wish top o the morning to droves of distinctly deckedout drinkers this Saturday. From green beer to free T-shirts, bars are pulling out all the stops to cater to enthusiastic patrons. St. Patricks Day is the first date circled on the calendar for us, Ben Lollar, manager of the Spoke, said. It is a fun day that everyone looks forward to. The Spoke is gearing up to attract students who would otherwise be off campus on a Saturday. We are going to be giving away free green T-shirts, well have Celtic dancers, a DJ, and of course, Rick McGhie, Lollar said. Labatt will also be sending an Alexander Keiths promo team to help get the party going with some fun prizes. Of course, what would St. Paddys Day be without its uniquely coloured beverage? It wouldnt be a St. Paddys celebration without green beer, so we will have lots of that on hand, assured Lollar. We anticipate moving anywhere from 35 to 50 barrels, depending on the turnout. The Spoke isnt the only bar in town preparing for the event. Molly Blooms, an Irish pub on Richmond Row, is also anticipating numerous rowdy revelers. Were getting everything settled and preparing for a really busy day, Phil Brazil, general manager for Molly Blooms, explained. I expect well be lined up at 9:30 in the morning. Molly Blooms also plans a number of attractions for the occasion. There will be lots of green beer, a special Irish menu and egg sandwiches to the first 100 people in line, Brazil explained. Despite the high expected turnout, the staff at Molly Blooms arent concerned about security risks. We have great security staff, and theyll be watching everyone, Brazil concluded. Campus police are also preparing for what is usually a busy day. We just make sure we have a full shift thats working, Elgin Austin, director of Campus Community Police Service, explained. [When St. Patricks Day occurs] during the week, there are very large crowds, but on a Saturday some of the students will be at parties and off campus. According to Austin, making sure imbibing students are safe and responsible is the primary concern of campus police. Unless theyre causing trouble, we usually just try to get them back to their residence, Austin explained. But its always wise to have a plan, and dont drink excessively.

Sean Previl GazeTTe sTaFF Western is continuing to look at the possibility of opening a campus downtown. While still in the preliminary stages, it is creating a buzz around the city. Were putting together a plan that is going to be presented to the city some time later this month, Keith Marnoch, director of media relations at Western, explained. From there, its more in the citys hands with regards to what they will do with it. Western has previously told city council they would be interested in turning the current City Hall into a learning community and downtown campus. Continuing studies at Western has been downtown in CitiPlaza since 2001. Though there may be concerns, according to Marnoch, students need not worry about interruptions to their studies. Whats important to note is that its not like were going to try and move undergraduate programs or anything like that. Its most likely programs that are more like graduate degree programs, Marnoch explained. According to Marnoch, a downtown campus is of interest for more than just educational reasons.

Personally, i am very excited. i think it presents opportunities for interdisciplinary and integrated work.
dean of the faculty of education

Vicki schwean,

Again, were trying to work with the city to make London more of a desirable destination for not just people who are interested on the educational side, but certainly a business connection as well, he said. With the thought of a Western campus downtown, several professional faculties are looking into potentially moving their schools into the centre of London. The faculty of education is one of the faculties seriously considering the move, should the city approve the downtown extension of Western. With the faculty moving downtown, it could help the citizens of London by providing support to

those who are disadvantaged or dealing with obstacles that are preventing educational development. In the field of education, there are many children who are highly vulnerable because of poverty, because of differences in a variety of levels, [...] who are really in need of strong advocacy and support, Vicki Schwean, dean of the faculty of education, explained. We see our role being enhanced considerably being within the downtown environment because it puts us closer to people who likely need these services, who need to be really upfront and in our face when were thinking about the kinds of programs we design and deliver. We need to be connected with those communities to understand what their educational needs are. The excitement continues to build within the faculty as plans continue to be formulated in preparation of this possible move downtown. Personally, I am very excited. I think it presents opportunities for interdisciplinary and integrated work. It presents huge opportunities to collaborate and partner with our community and engage scholarship, and huge opportunities for Western to have a very strong presence and face within our community, Schwean said.

Climate change impacts

A Western research team is aiming to uncover the impact of climate change over the past 10,000 years by examining fossils in the Great Lakes basin. The team is led by Fred Longstaffe, a professor of earth sciences and anthropology at Western and newly appointed Canada Research Chair. On land, there are lots of skeletal remains of mammals that reach back even further, including some that are now extinct, such as mammoths and mastodons, Longstaffe said. We are particularly interested in learning the cause [or causes] of the extinction of mammoths and mastodons. Was it related to climate change and associated shifts in the ecosystems in which these animals lived, or was it from hunting pressures or some combination of these factors? Longstaffe said. Or was it something else entirely, for example cometary or meteorite activity? These are the questions that Longstaffe and his team are trying to answer. Through an examination of different plant, animal and human

remains, Longstaffe and his team will be able to analyze the impact of climate change over time. By measuring the isotopic composition of these remains, they are able to look at changes in drinking water or soil water [] and relate that to temperature and humidity, Longstaffe explained. Nitrogen isotope compositions are used [] to learn about the diet of animals [...] and see how it changed in response to climatic condition. Hillete Warner

City councillors under investigation

Six London city councillors will soon find themselves under the magnifying glass of Ontarios ombudsman. The ombudsman has received complaints that a private luncheon attended by members of the London city council on February 21 may have violated municipal open meeting rules. The law in Ontario is that municipalities have to have their meetings open to the public, Linda Williamson, the ombudsmans director of communications, explained. The councillors who attended the private lunch at Lon-

dons Harmony Grand Buffet were involved in the council majority which approved a budget plan in a subsequent public meeting. The ombudsman will be gathering facts about the case. We will have to get information from the city, and we will have to interview people who participated in the meeting, Williamson said. This is not the first time the City of London has gotten into trouble with provincial investigators. The ombudsman is currently investigating a closed vote made to evict protestors from Victoria Park. When probed about any correlation, Williamson responded, I dont think the ombudsman has drawn any conclusions that we would be able to comment on. Mike Bertrand

Licence renewals going up

The Ministry of Transportation is gradually increasing fees for Ontario drivers. Renewing plates in Ontario now costs $82, an $8 increase from the previous price, and it will go up again to $98 in 2014. The ministry is expecting the fee hike to bring about $340 million per year. The ministry has not increased the licence fee for 15 years or more. The fee hike was done so that the ministry can continue to maintain roads and bridges in Ontario, David Salter, press secretary to the minster of transportation, said. What we are doing is making some modest and gradual changes to driver vehicle licence fees to ensure that we can continue to maintain safe roads and bridges, and at the same time keep most of those fees at or below national average, he said. Ontarios nine million drivers already paid enough taxes to the province to the tune of $9.6 billion, Frank Notte, the director of government relations of the Toronto Automobile Dealer Association, said. He stated that at least $1 billion can be collected from better coordination and enforcement mechanism. Replacing a plate licence costs $172 in New Brunswick, $142 in British Columbia and $104 in Quebec. While the Ontario fee is going to increase to match the average, it is still less than the the cost of actually delivering the service, Salter said. Anthony Poon

Income tax Clinic starts next week

megan devlin GazeTTe sTaFF In the midst of tax season, the University Students Council has rolled out the Income Tax Clinic, designed to aid students in filing their taxes. This week is information week the clinic will be providing important information about filing taxes and answering questions. From March 21 to 25, there will be more personalized clinics in the University Community Centre, and at Brescia and Kings. Christina Chong, vice-president of communications for the ITC, explained how the clinics work. We accept appointments and walk-ins, and students can book an appointment on our website, she said. When students come to the clinic, there will be five tables set up with two volunteers helping students to file their tax returns. The ITC uses student volunteers trained by the Canadian Revenue Agency to help students. I think the benefit of the ITC is two-fold. The students benefit greatly from learning how to file their own taxes and by getting free assistance to file their current taxes, Jennifer Valadao, vice-president finance for the USC, said. On the other hand, volunteers and students studying taxes have the opportunity to get hands on experience by putting their knowledge and logistics learned in class into an actual tangible process. The ITC began in 1999 and filed close to 500 student tax returns last year. However, despite the popularity of the USCs free service, many students still flock to professional tax services, such as H&R Block. Brenda Roelofsen, a tax professional at the Wellington branch of H&R Block, explained a professional service has the advantage of more experience and professional training, and that such establishments are open year-round. She added that professional services keep track of their clients, so that students can carry over items from their tax returns from previous years, or transfer some of their tuition to their parents files. Roelofsen also said H&R Blocks cash-back program was popular with students. H&R Block will give students their cash on the spot as opposed to them waiting for the government. The USCs volunteer run program does not offer such perks, but, according to Chong, ITCs volunteers are well qualified to handle students tax returns since they have been trained to serve the specific student clientele. The ITC operates with the same level of confidentiality and compliance as any other tax service, Valadao said. It is done with [Certified General Accountants of] Ontario as a sponsor and valu-

able asset for knowledge. However, professional tax services have staff with designations, whereas the clinic will mostly have student volunteers. The USC oversees the program, and if errors in filing occur, the USC will work to correct them in conjunction with the CRA, Valadao explained. Chong encouraged students from all years and faculties to utilize the service because of the valuable financial knowledge students can gain from both participating and volunteering with the program.

Food charter drafting

aaron Zaltzman NeWs ediTor Western students will soon have an opportunity to be their own advocates, when the university plays host to the National Student Food Charter consultation sessions in the next two weeks. The sessions will allow students to give their input on what should be written into the charter, which, when completed, will serve as an advocacy tool for student nutrition. The events are being hosted by the University Students Council Food Support Services and North London Meal Exchange. The main purpose of the charter session is to provide a way for students to work together to identify the food issues that are important to them as members of their communities, Caitlin Colson, student food network coordinator of Meal Exchange, said. Its also a tool to raise awareness on campus for students, reminding them their food choices do connect to lots of other areas [] and that as members of a campus community, their visions ought to be incorporated into how it functions. Having a document that states the student vision for better food on campus, nationally, increases pressure on individual campuses to keep up, Colson explained. Our hope is for campuses to develop campus-specific food charters that use the national charter as a guideline. According to Dana Zippel, the food support service commissioner for the USC, students will be able to use the charter to lay groundwork on their campus for food nutrition. The charter isnt going to have any governance over campuses, but its more going to be an advocacy tool. Zippel explained food administration staff for Western would also be welcome to attend, but the session was mainly focused on student opinion. Its supposed to be student input, so they are welcome to come as an unofficial voice, but in terms of the actual idea for the student movement, theyd like to keep it to students voices. The charter, which Colson said would be finalized in August, is part of the Campus Food Systems Project. [The CFSP] is a larger initiative that is being built to support and connect student food work and activism on Canadian campuses, Colson explained. The sessions, which are also being featured in numerous other universities across Canada, will be taking place at Western on March 21 and 28.

Opinions
Shamrockin on Saturday
St. Patricks Day can be overwhelming. It seems like the entire student body takes the day off to go absolutely crazy, drowning themselves in alcohol as a feeble attempt to somehow emulate the Irish. When it comes to celebrating St. Patricks Day, some people prefer to go all out, while some prefer not to drink at all. To help everyone make the correct decisions on a hectic day, the Gazette editorial board has come up with a list of dos and donts to help everyone wake up on Sunday without a looming sense of regret. Do: Dress up and get into the spirit of things Enjoy the nice weatherfingers crossed Pace yourself and keep hydrated Plan ahead in terms of school work Keep green food colouring on you at all times Dont: Knowingly break the law by having open alcohol outside Get into fights with anyonestudent, citizen, or cop Argue with the cops Show up to a bar late in the day. The luck of the Irish isnt going to get you in This St. Patricks Day seems to be extra special in regards to the fact that the festivities occur on a Saturday, which is a day that has no classes, and also does not precede any classes. While there are still some midterms scheduled on the actual day, this should highly reduce the amount of drunk academics pretending to learn. At the same time, the downtown core will likely be busier on a Saturday, and most people will go harder knowing that Sunday is a hangover day. For those people who do not indulge in the forbidden nectar that is alcohol, staying in the spirit of things is the best way to make the day go smoothly. By wearing green clothes and indulging in green food and drink, it will be almost impossible for the intoxicated to even notice the sobriety in their presence. If that doesnt work, one can still feel a strong, natural high from the moral superiority that comes with being better than everyone else. *The Gazette is not responsible for a flawed St. Patricks Day experience The Gazette Editorial Board

Irish I was asleep

Carmas a Bitch
alex Carmona NeWs ediTor Well, its warm out again, and anyone who has been at Western for the past few years knows what that meansSt. Patricks Day is finally upon us. March 17 brings with it a whole host of tropes such as shamrocks, green beer, a general disregard for our own bodily welfare and, of course, the all-important pancake kegger. But, to be honest, as much fun as pancake keggers are in theory, in practice they never seem to end up being worth the trouble. Again, in theory, the idea sounds awesome. Drinking and partying is fun, so why not start as early in the morning as possible to ensure you get the maximum amount of fun out of one of the most anticipated party days of the year? The problem I have with the average pancake kegger is that people tend to take the idea of the early morning alcohol binge far past its logical conclusion. Too often, I have been invited to early morning parties starting at the ungodly hour of 8 a.m. Now, I dont think I am alone when I say that I will fight tooth and nail to avoid 8:30 class, and that when Im unfortunate enough to be forced to take such a class, I hate every second of it. My mantra is if theres still dew on the grass, there is no reason I should have to go outside. So, random party hosts, when were fortunate enough to have St. Paddys Day fall on a Saturday, I can tell you that no, I will not be waking up at seven in the morning to attend your ill-thoughtout drink-a-thon. I did it once, and paid the pricenamely, a massive burnout late in the afternoon. I look forward to St. Patricks Day all year, and passing out at four in the afternoon does not jive with my idea of a fun day. If you plan on having any energy to do anything fun on the night of St. Patricks Day, take my adviceavoid early morning pancake keggers. Its a paradox, when you think about itwere supposed to get up early, an act that is by definition horrible, to try to have a good time. I propose an alternativetheres no hard and fast rule that says pancakes need to be served during breakfast hours, so lets instead bring the party to everyones favourite fabricated mealbrunch. I, for one, have never been invited to a brunch kegger, but if I were, you can be damn sure Id be there.

Letter to the Editor

wall misleading
To the Editor: On March 9, the Gazette published a colour photo of a wall that was constructed on Concrete Beach in support of the Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights. The wall was covered by the usual propaganda slogans la mode such as End Israel Apartheid and others. When Palestinians, in displays or arguments, draw attention to the security wall erected by Israel it is unfailingly giving the message that Israel constructs the wall out of sheer joy to make Palestinians miserable and their life unbearable. Look, Israel does not even respect human rights and we are the victims. It continues to baffle me why Jewish students, year after year, ignore these provocations and do not respond in kind by providing the necessary content. The security wall exists for one reason only, i.e., to prevent terrorist attacks and uncontrolled infiltration, and apparently has almost entirely eliminated suicide bombings. Without terror there would be no wall, indeed Palestinians would live without check-points and wall, and would prosper through a myriad of commercial exchanges. Let us not forget that virtually all the misery of Palestinians is self-inflicted, apart from the life in camps, of course, that is being imposed on them by their Arab brethren! The wall on the Concrete Beach with its propaganda makes me think of students who shout that their professors, who gave them Fs on their assignments, are mean, nasty and whatever, but do not disclose that they, when writing, were as ignorant (and blind) as are moles of the world above ground. Why do Jewish students not stage a display of humanlike puppets that are bleeding, torn to pieces or dead accompanied by repeated explosive noises to show how awful life is under the never-ending threat of suicide bombers and missiles? Next year at this time I hope to see either two displays side by sidepreferably with attendants shaking their hands and developing friendshipsor none. Heinz Klatt

Get creative at Bijans art studio

Irene Velentzas GazeTTe sTaFF What comes from a life devoted to 40 years of pursuing art? For Bijan Ghalehpardaz, there comes enrichmentboth personal and communal. Art is a dedication, Ghalehpardaz says. [Something] you spend your life doing because you love. Owner of Bijans Art Studio, Ghalehpardaz has spent his time doing exactly thatearning degrees in art from Fanshawe and the University of Iran. Still, he is not only a seeker of artistic knowledge, he is an imparter of that knowledge of others, and has waited years for the right opportunity to establish an art studio in coordination with his existing supply business, a place where he hopes to give people a strong foundation to achieve what they desire through art. As you step into Ghalehpardazs school, located at 677 Richmond Street, you realize that the space is as eclectic as the artistic work undertaken in its studios. The studio itself has a sense of home to it, as lush couches and chairs await patrons by a fireplace adorned with some of his art. The front office is also part gallery, featuring some of his work, such as portraits of Niagara Falls, the Eiffel Tower and rich nature scenes. Ghalehpardaz welcomes students as varied in experience as his artistic interests. Whether youve never held a brush in your life or are an undiscovered Picasso, he says there is something to teach everybody. The studio is based on individual needs, Bijan explains. Any level can come. In fact, Bijans School of Art has beginner, inter-

Catl keeps the blues alive

Julian Uzielli NeWs ediTor Jamie Fleming doesnt like to play on stage. Its not that the frontman of Toronto blues trio Catl doesnt like to performhe strives to get audiences moving, and by all accounts does so with great success. Its just that hed rather do it from the floor, from within the audience, rather than from above it. That breaks down that barrier between a band on stage and an audience, he says. So were accessible, and I think people like that that you have to move to the front and get involved with whats going on, rather than this physical barrier of being high up on the stage. Next month, Catl will release their third album of uniquely gritty, energetic rhythm and blues. Titled Soon This Will All Be Gone, the record is a big milestone for the groupthough blues bands arent exactly breaking the top 40, Catl has achieved moderate success in Ontario over the past few years, allowing them to spring for some higher production values than on their previous two albums. Though the album was predominantly recorded live off the floorlike the pre-war blues records it draws uponthis time the band was able to work more with guest musicians and multi-track recording, giving the album a more complete sound. Additionally, organist and backup vocalist Sarah Kirkpatrick took a more prominent vocal role on the forthcoming album, Fleming says. Its a bit of a survival tactic. She can ultimately sing much better than me, so theres that, but we play a lot of long showswe play a lot of 3-set shows. Its such a high energy thing, so my voice gets blown out, and it actually gives me a chance to sit back and rest a bit when she sings, he explains. It breaks up the record too, so its not just about my vocals blazing out of it. Beyond artistic developments, the album also marks a line-up change. Just after the band finished recording in July, Catls original drummer Johnny LaRue decided to leave the band amid increasing time conflicts with his day job as a teacher. The process was painful, Fleming says, but he looks forward to the bands future with their newest member, drummer Andrew Moszynski. He just lives to play music and play in bands, Fleming says. Now we can go play a town like London and get home at five in the morning, and its not a big deal. Though in the past the band hasnt ventured far from Highway 401, with greater freedom, Catl plans to bring their energetic live show to the United States, and possibly Europe. It would be exciting to see how Americans will accept the music Im stealing away from them, Fleming laughs. Wherever they play, though, Catls first priority is always the audience. Were trying to turn [the blues] back into social music and party music, and about people dancing and having a good time, rather than listening to guitar licks and how well you can play, Fleming says. Its more about the energy. Catch Catl tomorrow night at Call The Office. Tickets are $5 at the door. Doors open at 9 p.m. Catl will return to the venue on May 12 for their London album release party.

mediate and advanced sessions with separate classrooms for adults and for children. There are several options for artist drop-in sessions, eight-session courses and workshops such as the upcoming Surrealism Workshop facilitated by Kim Harrison on March 24. As the long-awaited, grand opening of Bijans School of Art is set for tomorrow from 7 to 9 p.m., Ghalehpardaz reminds us that the most important thing to remember about creating art is that you are making a friend who will be true to you. Just like that friend, Ghalehpardaz claims that an art schools relationship with the community is about trusttrusting the knowledge that comes from experience. He recognizes that art is a community to be shared, and in opening his School of Art, he is humbly grateful to the London community that has supported local art.

My week with 63 Monroe

Sara mai Chitty GazeTTe sTaFF Not every band needs to make it big to keep on keepin on in the turbulent music industryjust ask London rockers 63 Monroe. Steve R Stunning has been lead vocalist and main motivator since 1979. Though Stunning claims the band has been through more guitarists than some small countries, he and bassist Pete Dekoker have been playing punk, glam rock and good old rock n roll together since 1981 in London and the surrounding area. The band today is a four piece with Jeff DePew on drums and Brian McMillan on guitar. Working their nine to five jobs by day, the rockers come out at night to play just what they feel likewith over 30 years of discography, it isnt hard to come up with a great setlist. Stunning doesnt want to put a label on the style of music they play, reminiscing, When we first started playing, we were considered a punk band, but I think as time changes and pace changes and musical abilities morph or increase, I would say that were probably just more of a straight ahead rock n roll band. Stunning also recalls the groups past gimmicks. [They] were more in the vein of originality, but we were doing New York Dolls sort of styles, but that was a few years ago. [We] still try and put on a good showwere a cross between the Ramones and Motorhead and the New York Dolls, he says. What was flamboyant then might not be considered so now. Audiences should still expect a raging good time, since not just any band from London has played at CBGB in New York City before. Stunning also appreciates the diversity of fans the band has accumulated over the years, including coworkers and regulars of the bars they play. He fondly recalls playing at local Dawghouse pub in February. Its a pretty inclusive club good for meeting people, theres a cross section of people there you might never run into downtown, he says of the atmosphere. 63 Monroe and another local venue, Call The Office, also have an extended

Jesica Hurst arTs & liFe ediTor Tomorrow night, the OHM Fashion Show is returning for its tenyear anniversary. The student-run, charity fashion and dance show has been in the works since summer, and the directors expect it to be bigger than ever. This years event will reflect the cyclical nature of fashion, Emma Freed, co-director of OHM, says. Our show is called OHMRevival, in order to emphasize the common

tendency of leaders in the fashion industry who revive past trends into current style, and to celebrate a decade of OHMs success. The OHM Fashion Show is not only run by students, but will feature clothing from student designers as well. Hayley Silvertown, codirector of OHM, explains that this is the perfect opportunity for budding designers to showcase their collections. OHM features a variety of student and local designers, as well as designers from well-known brands

and clothing stores such as Erin Kleinberg, who initially started showcasing her designs as the director of OHM, Silvertown says. This is a great way for them to get their names out there to a fashionloving audience. Although the main focus of the show is entertainment, OHM donates all of their proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Societysomething theyve been doing for the duration of their existence. We are hoping to raise over $10,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society this year, Freed says. This organization has been the recipient of our fundraising because it hits close to home for all of our committee members, and it facilitates extremely important cancer research, which we all greatly admire. Freed and Silverton admit that running an event this size can be chaotic, but they are very excited to see the finished results. There is a lot to coordinate, but we work as a team and get everything done, Freed says. Its been remarkable to see the continued support of all our committee members and peers, as well as the local community. For more information regarding the show, visit ohmfashionshow.ca. Tickets for the show are sold online and at InfoSource$15 for regular tickets, and $20 for VIP seating.

Stunning says the band has never felt the need to be on a major label. The 70s are long gone when bands get signed on to multi-million [dollar] record contracts and are in servitude for the rest of their liveswe record what we want [and] do what we want. This is our identity other than our nine to five life. And that rock attitude is exactly what 63 Monroe is all about.

ryan Stern sPorTs ediTor A bronze medal at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships, an Ontario University Athletics championship and a couple of awards for outstanding wrestlers how are the Mustangs supposed to follow up that act? With the National Open coming up, the Mustangs will be looking to put the cherry on top of their successful season. Though the event doesnt hold the prestige of the CIS or OUA championships, it is a vital event for qualification purposes. [Steven Takahashi and Ilya Abelev are] defending champions in this division, and they are still both juniors and they have a good shot at winning their title, Ray Takahashi, Mustangs coach, said. The winners go to the junior worlds, which are in Thailand in September, so it is kind of an important event for them. The event will also serve as a nice summation of a successful season for the Mustangs. Winning their first OUA championship since 1994, the Mustangs boast a strong roster for this event and the future. Led by Takahashi, Abelev and Brianne Barry, the future is certainly bright. Everyone else is back, so well be strong. Hopefully, we will get some new recruits, which is very important for us. But this tourna-

ment is very important for us, because if you want to be on the national team, you have to go to this tournament, Takahashi said. With the CIS championships being the climax of the season, the Mustangs are just looking to close out the season on a high note in the National Open. With tempered expectations, the Mustangs will just look to finish the season strong after a years worth of conditioning. Since the nationals are at the

end of the school year, Ive been able to compete in lots of tournaments and get lots of practicing in. So the season allowed me to get in shape and it has let me see what I need to focus on in my wrestling, Josh Proctor, Mustangs wrestler, said. The expectation that I have at this event is to wrestle well and to minimize the errors I make out on the mats. On the womens side of the mat, the Mustangs will be looking for strong performances out of

their top athletes. Competing last year as a member of the LondonWestern Wrestling Club, Mustangs rookie Valerie Ouellette will be looking to defend her championship in the 44kg division, this time in Mustangs purple. With the season already marked as a success, the Mustangs are op-

timistic about their chances for this tournament and recruiting in the future. I guess success breeds success, and we are looking forward to a good recruiting year too, so hopefully the momentum will keep going, and hopefully well be on top.
