STUDENT WINS BIG

End of tvWestern not the end of campus videoBy Stuart A. ThompsonGazette Staff

After 20 years on the air, tvWest-ern.ca will be turned off after aunanimous vote on Mar. 10.

The University Students’ Coun-cil agreed to extinguish the stationwhen they passed the budget, end-ing its student fee collection. Nocouncillors or members of tvWest-ern.ca lodged a protest.

The station has aired campus-related programs made by studentssince 1993. In recent years, the sta-tion has been criticized for lack ofstudent involvement and interest.

In 2008, a USC survey reported83 per cent of students neverwatched the videos.

“We were hearing from themajority of students that either they

didn’t know what tvWestern was, orthey never watched it, or they hadno interest in watching it,” SachaKumar, USC vice-president finance,said. “As far as relevance to stu-dents, it was scoring very low in ouropinion.”

This year, the station offeredsome more popular programming,such as the talk show Big PurpleCouch and the movie review pro-gram We Eat Films. But the USCargued this success was owed topassionate volunteers more thanpaid staff members. More than 80per cent of tvWestern.ca’s $90,000budget went to salaries.

Current creative director PatrickBarfoot said he approached tvWest-ern.ca last year with a “rampage” ofpassion and a desire to overhaul thestation. He tried to get a new web-

site online, but several designs wereshot down by management. He alsohelped start some of the station’smost successful programs, like WeEat Films.

But it seems these efforts weretoo late.

“It’s a bit of a disappointmentand a tragedy because I’ve workedso hard to make it better,” he said.“But there are things within the sys-tem that were flawed, and I knew it,and I was fighting against it.”

While the station relies on about70 volunteers to create program-ming, paid staffers run the stationon a full-time basis. Among them isproduction director Kim Chatterley,who has worked at the station formore than 10 years.

She said tvWestern.ca faced anumber of challenges over the

years, none more detrimental thanfunding. The station’s equipment isseveral years old and much of it isbroken. While they own severaltripods, none work. The stationbought a new camera earlier thisyear, but their other cameras are alldamaged in some way.

“We weren’t putting any moneyinto the equipment. To get reallyvolunteering, you had to be relent-less, you had to keep going,” Bar-foot said.

Chatterley said tvWestern.ca’spurpose traditionally focused onvolunteers instead of its audience.

“More recently, we’ve certainlyhad more reception to what we’vebeen putting up,” she said of agrowing audience for tvWestern.caprogramming on YouTube. “But inthe past, definitely, more emphasis

was on the opportunities and thetraining.”

Taylor Whittamore is one stu-dent who benefited from the sta-tion’s training sessions. The media,theory and production studententered Western with an interest intelevision but little experience.

“They began the training atsquare one — how to turn on acamera, basic interview skills, whatnot to wear on camera,” she said.

Andrew Beach, Huron Universi-ty College councillor, said keepingstudents like Whittamore involvedwas a concern when consideringending the station.

“I think tvWestern did a poor jobon the end of the rest of the studentbody. I know that the volunteers

Last weekend, members of the Uni-versity Students’ Council electedfour members of the board of direc-tors for 2010-11.

The Process: Vice-presidents of the USC arevoted in during the second part ofthe USC’s Annual General Meeting.

According to Scott Courtice,public affairs officer for the USC,the incoming and the outgoingcouncils get together to elect thevice-presidents.

“This is the point where lastyear’s council and this year’s coun-cil both exist as one [...] for the solepurpose of electing the vice-presi-dents. The rationale [is] that theincoming council that has to workwith the vice-presidents next yearshould have a say in who they are,but the outgoing council has expe-rience working with vice-presidentsthis year, [and] has a different per-spective,” Courtice said.

A similar procedure to that ofthe USC is also used by McMasterStudents Union.

“They are elected by the newStudent Representative Assembly

at the first meeting of the newassembly [...] Each election takesseveral hours of intense question-ing of each candidate by the mem-bers of the Assembly,” Nick Short-en, deputy returning officer forMSU said.

However, the student govern-ment at Queen’s University, knownas the Alma Mater Society, uses aslate system when electing their

vice-presidents.“Presidents and vice-presidents

are elected on a slate [...] Beforeexecutive elections, there is a nom-ination period where the candidateteams collect 675 signatures [...]from the student body to nominatethe slate for the election,” LucasAnderson, commissioner of inter-nal affairs for AMS, said.

Courtice added there are advan-tages and disadvantages to bothelection procedures.

“[With the process used by theUSC], the council can determineand see the temperament of theincoming president and what theywant to accomplish and can votefor candidates that are a good fitwith that president’s vision and [...]fit personalities together,” Courticesaid.

He also mentioned students, onthe other hand, may perceive thismethod to be less democratic.

“This system is designed so theAssembly can determine the rightperson for the job,” Shortenexplained. He added the system isalso criticized as one whichempowers inexperience.

“Not many people at this age

The rationale [is] thatthe incoming councilthat has to work withthe vice-presidents nextyear should have a sayin who they are, but theoutgoing council hasexperience workingwith vice-presidentsthis year, [and] has adifferent perspective.

really even have the experience […]to run an organization as large as[MSU],” Shorten added. “Changescould definitely be made but I thinkthis problem is more associatedwith student politics than the sys-tem itself.”

According to Ross Gibbons,political science professor at West-ern, both processes used by theUSC and AMS can be viewed asdemocratic: “Both processes canmake claims to being ‘democratic.’USC council members are democ-ratically elected as representativesso anything they do carries somelegitimacy. On the other hand anelection-at-large is clearly andmore directly democratic.”

The Positions:Similar to the USC president, thoseassuming positions as VPs will beworking on a full-time basis for theUSC. These individuals either take ayear off their academic commit-ments or spend a year on the boardupon graduation.

“[I am] responsible for USCmedia, publications, elections,media relations, internal and exter-nal promotions, alumni relationsand the Info Team,” CarolynHawthorn, current communica-tions officer for the USC, explained.

The communications officer ishired by the incoming president onthe advice of the outgoing commu-nications officer.

“I want to make sure that everysingle initiative of all of the othervice-presidents are being commu-

nicated to every single student atWestern [...] Internally, I want tomake sure all the different commis-sioners, co-ordinators, councilexecutive as well as staff […] knowswhat each other is doing and thereis really that cohesion there,” NicoleFassina, incoming communica-tions officer, said.

Justin Arcaro, current VP studentevents, focuses on developing USCprograms that build communityand offer positive learning experi-ences for students, including man-aging orientation week programsand the clubs community.

“I am excited to empower thedifferent commissioners and co-ordinators within the portfolio —just because there’s so much to doand I am only one person. So really[looking forward to] working withthem and focusing on being ateam,” Justin Mackie, VP-elect forstudent events, said. “Events will behad, Western.”

As VP university affairs, DanMoulton is the chief advocate forstudents on all internal and exter-nal student priorities and is respon-sible for managing the relationshipbetween the university administra-tion and the USC.

Meaghan Coker, VP-elect foruniversity affairs, mentioned herpriority will involve being a chiefadvocate for students on campusand off-campus: “Putting studentsfirst [...] and by recognizing that wehave a lot of potential on campusfor other students to also be advo-cates and to support them in theircapacity to do that.”

According to current VP campusissues Will Bortolin, the role of hisposition involves working withcommissioners to address thesocial, cultural and societal issuesthat may limit the educationalexperience and quality of life ofundergraduates at Western.

“The key for us I think is to pushoutwards and engage the every daystudent, who is walking to class andnot necessarily looking to getinvolved or get educated on theissues [...] We want the entire cam-pus to be safe, welcoming andinclusive of students of every time,”Scott Kerr, VP-elect for campusissues, said.

According to Sacha Kumar, cur-rent VP finance, his portfolio isresponsible for managing the cur-rent budget and also creating thebudget for the upcoming year.

“[VP] finance is held account-able to every projected target in thebudget, so it is imperative that [theindividual] becomes an active par-ticipant in decision-making in eachportfolio,” Kumar added.

“I truly believe, because Visionto Lead clearly outlines that theonly reason that we are here is forstudents, we have to get back toasking them what they want,” ElyRygier, VP-elect for finance, com-mented on his focus for the upcom-ing year.

In an act sure to evoke jealousyamong thousands of Western stu-dents gunning for the win, KeltieBrigham has snagged a $10,000prize for drinking coffee.

Brigham, a second-year healthsciences student, is Western’s firstbig winner for Tim Hortons’ 2010Roll Up the Rim to Win campaign.Last Wednesday, she was studyingon the quiet floor of D.B. WeldonLibrary when she “rolled up therim” and won the prize.

“At first I was like, ‘Seriously, isthis a joke?’ Even my mom didn’tbelieve me when I called and toldher,” Brigham said.

She and a friend were headingto Weldon and decided they

would buy nine coffees over thecourse of their studying, in hopesthey would be guaranteed a win.

The plan worked and Brighamwas the delighted winner of a freecoffee and $10,000. Unfortunately,her friend was left empty handed.

The winning cup was a medi-um double-double bought fromthe Tim Hortons in the NaturalSciences Centre. Brigham hasuntil May 30 to send in her cup,claim the cash and answer a skill-testing question. “I plan on hav-ing someone sitting near me witha calculator just in case,” shejoked.

Brigham is planning on usingmost of the money to pay fortuition, and is also planning totake a couple of her friends on atrip to somewhere warm.

and the staff that are working there— they love it,” Beach said. “But I’mnot sure that this translated to themajority of the student body.”

Beach added the USC is alwaystrying to balance a service’s benefitto some students against the cost toseveral, especially with services likePrideWestern and Enviro Western,which are funded by all undergrad-uates, regardless of who uses them.

“Those are places we don’t mindsinking a little bit of money, as longas it is well spent,” Beach argued. “Ithink that was the concern of theexecutive this year with tvWestern.That the money wasn’t being wellspent.”

Following the USC’s initial rec-ommendation to end the station,Barfoot and some tvWestern.ca vol-unteers began a campaign to keepthe station alive.

But by the time the budgetapproval meeting came around lastweek, Barfoot declined to give apresentation.

“Honestly, when I talked with[USC president] Emily [Rowe],that’s when I felt their heart was inthe right place. When I talked to therest of the board, [of directors] itwas so convoluted and so political.It was like, ‘Honestly do you evencare what we do?’”

The lack of protest from tvWest-ern.ca is a stark contrast from 2006,

when the USC presented a motionto end the student fee supportingthe station. At council, tvWestern.caprotested, giving a presentationabout how the station couldimprove.

The USC decided to give themanother chance.

Five years later, many council-lors agree the station has growncomplacent.

“A lot of councillors I talked tosaid they weren’t really surprised bythis because everyone knows it hasbecome very stagnant,” Kumarargued, adding without high view-ership, the USC couldn’t justifyinvesting in the station to make itstronger.

While tvWestern.ca will be goneat the end of this fiscal year, videoswill continue. The Gazette will col-lect an extra $0.50 per student toexpand video and new media pro-gramming. The USC also plans toexpand the media commissionerrole to receive an honorarium andmore responsibility.

Barfoot hopes his work this yearwill not be in vain and that someprogramming, like We Eat Filmsand the Big Purple Couch, will con-tinue under the USC’s guidance.

“In my opinion, some goodcould possibly come out of this. Theonly thing we can do is wait andhopefully develop plans to not onlydo what we’re doing now, but alsoexpand.”

Health sci studentwins $10,000

End of “stagnant” service not surprisingCONTINUED FROM P1

Western’s University Students’ Council met on Mar. 13 toelect next year’s vice-presidents of campus issues, finance,student events and university affairs. Other students’councils, such as the Queen’s Alma Mater Society, openthese elections to the general student population. This hasraised questions about the legitimacy of the electionprocess.

Currently, members of the USC are the only ones enti-tled to vote for VP candidates. This process could be seenas undemocratic since most students have little say andcouncillors don’t always take their constituents’ opinionsinto account.

An alternative could be adopting Queen’s University’sslate-style voting process — a methodology compellingpresidential and vice-presidential candidates to run forpositions on one ticket, as a group, to be voted on by thestudent body.

While popularity will always play a factor in elections,such a system will likely force candidates to schmoozeand find a circle of friends they can run with rather thanrunning on their principles and ideas.

Furthermore, based on the general lack of knowledgetypically seen regarding presidential platforms, it’s unlike-ly the student body at Western is well informed as to whatthe VP portfolios entail. Thus, by giving the general stu-dent population an opportunity to vote for these candi-dates, there is the possibility they may make an ill-informed vote.

Perhaps media outlets like the Gazette could be doinga better job at informing students about such positions.Telling students why they should care and how theseelections affect them personally may help erode studentapathy. That said, it is impossible to completely elimi-nate such sentiments in practice.

There are other ways to access information about theelection process and each of the candidates. For one,candidates should continue to reach out throughavenues like websites, which allow interested students toread up on their platforms.

Furthermore, members of the USC could possiblymake better use of their vote — while they are betteraware of the strengths and weaknesses of a particularcandidate because of their experience with them incouncil meetings, it is also a councillor’s responsibility toreach out to their constituents and vice-versa.

A possible benefit of the USC’s method of electing VPsmay be in its low-key and selective nature — perhaps thismeans more qualified people will run for the positionsas votes in their favour will ideally be determined less bypopularity and more on merit.

While it’s always tempting to peek over the fence,there is no reason for Western to move towards a slate-voting process as it may exacerbate the problem of ill-informed voting by an apathetic student body andenhance the place of status.

This week I will be cheering for LaurenWoolstencroft. Don’t be surprised ifyou’ve never heard of her — she’s adownhill skier who won gold and silvermedals at the Turin Winter Games —she’s also a Paralympian.

Last Friday marked the opening cere-mony of the 2010 Paralympic WinterGames, which will run from Mar. 12 untilMar. 21. The Canadian Paralympic teamcomprises 55 athletes, who will be com-peting in four of the five sports at theGames. As usual, the Paralympic WinterGames will be held at the same venuesas the Olympics. In other words, thesegifted Canadian athletes will be compet-ing at home, in Vancouver.

Then why are they only receiving 57hours of TV coverage? Paralympic sportsare divided both by gender and by typeof physical disability, with the goal of lev-elling the playing field for all competi-tors. This means while there are five

sports at the games, there will be 64 sep-arate events. However, CTV and theiraffiliates have decided to broadcast 27hours of English content and 30 hours ofFrench content during the nine-dayevent. While this is a record for Canadiancoverage of the Paralympics, it will most-ly be spent on highlights — not theevents themselves. To make mattersworse, the games are mostly being cov-ered on CTV’s other networks, or willonly be accessible online. This is a starkcontrast to the nearly 24 hour, seven-day-a-week coverage the Olympicsreceived.

Coverage for these games needs tostep up. This team is made up of athleteswho train as hard as Olympians, and areskilled at their sports. These athletesbring home medals and work to supporttheir goals. Many of these athletes areclose to setting world records in theirsports.

The reason the Paralympics deservemore than a measly 57 hours of coverageis not because the games are on homesoil, but because these are great athletesand because society has an opportunityto learn what “disability” really means.

Going back to Woolstencroft, she wasborn missing both legs below the knee

and her left arm below the elbow. Shenow races downhill at electrifyingspeeds. Too many people in our societywould meet her and label her as “dis-abled.” The Paralympics give an oppor-tunity for people who do not have expe-riences with disability to see how theseobstacles are overcome.

This is not to say having a disability inour society means nothing; accessibilityis a huge issue both on and off Western’scampus. However, disability does notmean unable, it means a different type ofable — an able which could simply needa different set of tools. Tools on campusmight mean more ramps and more elec-tric doors, and on the slopes it mightmean prosthetic limbs or specializedequipment.

While I may be able to watch Wools-tencroft’s next winning run on YouTubeor on a network dedicated to airing Par-alympic sports, the point is the sameaudience who spent weeks in front of theTV for the Olympics may never see heror her teammates’ athletic ability.

While 57 hours may cover highlightreels, there won’t be enough time tocover what really matters — the athleticability of the competitors, and the storiesof how they made it to the Olympics.

REAL MEN WEAR PLAID. Formerly Collett’s backing musicians, Zeus stepped into the spotlight at Call the Office at the third show of The Bonfire Ball tour on Friday.

By Patrick MartiniGazette Staff

There was little time between Fri-day night’s sets at Call the Office.The third show of The Bonfire Balltour had two packed sets showcas-ing singer-songwriter Jason Collett’snew album Rat A Tat Tat as well asthe up-and-coming talents Zeusand Bahamas.

Collett, who is no stranger toCall the Office, has grown tobecome a respected musician onthe Toronto music scene over thepast 15 years. His melancholic lyricsgive way to an overt patriotism thatis neither contrived nor corny.

The crowd, thin around thestage area at first, was taken by sur-prise when Collett took the stagearound 10:30 to tune up. When hebegan to play and address the audi-ence in his rhythmic drawl, fanshurried towards the front of thestage for a better view.

Collett began by welcoming theaudience to The Bonfire Ball andintroducing Zeus, his backing band,and Bahamas, the performance titlefor musician Afie Jurvanen.

The show meshed the similaryet distinctive sounds of each act.While the night featured songsfrom each musician and group, thestage was filled with all the musi-

cians for most of the show. During afew Zeus songs, Collett stoodtowards the back and played guitaror tambourine.

Collett performed a few soloacoustic tracks, with most comingfrom his 2008 release Here’s to BeingHere –– largely a sing-along, feelgood album. Zeus performed anumber of songs on their own too,showcasing some newer songs offtheir latest album Say Yes.

Zeus, without question, playedmusic that riled up the crowd. Theytapped into every classic rock chordprogression and perform theirsongs with impeccable timing.

Collett’s songs were, as usual,exemplary of his showmanship.The entire setup of The Bonfire Ballcreated an atmosphere appropriatefor the music. Red lanterns hungfrom the ceiling above a clutteredstage and gave the set a travellingminstrel feel, which is part of Col-lett’s ambience.

Collett’s set began with “MyDaddy Was A Rock’n’Roller” andthen moved through songs off hisnew album. Performances of “HighSummer” and “Winnipeg Winds”were outstanding, and Collett’sshout outs to Pierre Berton and“making love in canoes” spoke to hislove of Canadian culture. This wasfollowed by an inquiry as to whether

Prime Minister Stephen Harpercould make love in a canoe — thegeneral consensus seemed to be no.

The standout performance wasundoubtedly Bahamas. His songs— recorded in Northern Ontario in2008 — are sombre love ballads thatare as catchy as they are self-reflec-tive. He also had a stage presencethat was unrivalled throughout thenight.

Capping off the night was an odd-ball-dancing encore, as the bassplayer from Zeus played guitar whileJurvanen played drums for a cover ofR. Kelly’s “Ignition (Remix).” Thecrowd, elated, continued dancing toAl Green covers and a sing-along ver-sion of Prince’s “Purple Rain.” Thefunky spirit of all three acts met intheir tributes to these soul classics.

Persistent shouts of encourage-ment coming from the crowdproved to be a testament to thequality of the performance given byCollett and his companions at TheBonfire Ball.

St. Patrick's Day is a holiday syn-onymous with good music, ap-petizing food and adult

beverages. Another, and far less en-joyable, thing people find synony-mous with Patty's Day is the liklihoodof celebrations going too far, oftenwith celebrants drinking to excessand possibly leading to some poten-tially fatal side effects.

The U.S. National Highway Traf-fic Safety Administration (NHTSA)notes that St. Patrick's Day is one ofthe deadliest holidays in terms ofdrunk-driving fatalities. In2009, the Arizona Gover-nor's Office of HighwaySafety reported more than120 arrests for DUI in theweekend before St.Patrick's Day, when manybars host their parties forthe holiday when it falls ona weekday, as it did in2009. Law enforcement of-ficials reported that the av-erage blood alcoholcontent (BAC) of those arrested was.142, or nearly twice the legal limit.What's more, more than 25 percentof those arrested were charged withextreme DUI, meaning the suspectshad an alcohol content of .15 orabove.

Those figures illustrate the scaryapproach many revelers take withrespect to St. Patrick's Day. Ratherthan enjoying themselves responsi-bly, many revelers drink to extremeexcess, putting themselves and oth-ers in serious danger as a result. Forthose hoping to celebrate the holi-day safely this year, consider the fol-lowing tips.• Utilize the designated driver. Uti-lizing a designated driver is ar-guably the safest means to ensuringa safe St. Patrick's Day. Even if youdo not plan on drinking much, it's

good to keep in mind local law en-forcement agencies routinely set upDUI task forces on Patty's Day andin the days preceding it. While youmight think you're not breaking thelaw driving after a drink or two,even a little alcohol could be im-pairing your driving ability, and younever truly know your BAC. The bestway to stay safe and avoid arrest isto have at least one person agree toabstain from alcohol.Oftentimes, it can be difficult to finda willing designated driver on St.

Patrick's Day. After all, it's a day ofcelebration and everyone wants toparticipate. If no one is willing, don'tdrive to your destination. Instead,call a cab from home and leave yourown vehicles at home. This will makeit impossible for you or any of yourfriends to drive home.• Don't forget to eat, and don't beashamed to overindulge in food.Food and drink are big parts of aPatty's Day celebration, and in-dulging in the food can ensure youdon't drink too much or that the al-cohol you do drink doesn't producethe negative effect it would on anempty stomach. If you're really in thespirit of celebrating the holiday, startoff with an Irish breakfast in themorning, complete with Irishsausages, Irish bacon, black pud-ding, potatoes and eggs, among

other things. An Irish breakfast willfill you up, keeping you from drink-ing too much, especially if you planon heading to an afternoon parade.Another traditional meal that mostestablishments serve is corned beefand cabbage, a filling dish in itsown right that will also limit theamount of alcohol your stomach canhold.• Avoid drinking games and hardliquor. Drinking games have grownin popularity, particularly amongyounger drinkers. Unfortunately, the

nature of drinking gamesoften requires players todrink substantial amountsof alcohol in a short periodof time. But many cele-brants are already in agood mood on St. Patrick'sDay, so you shouldn't needsomething extra like adrinking game to help youenjoy the day more.It's also a good idea toavoid hard liquor on St.

Patrick's Day. One shot of hardliquor is equivalent to 12 ounces ofbeer. So while a shot's stature mightmake it seem less harmful, it's pack-ing a considerable punch that shouldbe avoided for those hoping to drinkresponsibly.• Drink water throughout the cele-bration. Come the end of the night,it's common for those who havebeen drinking to have a glass or twoof water. However, drinking waterthroughout the whole night can helpkeep revelers hydrated and can be agood means to drinking more re-sponsibly. Rather than continuallydrinking alcohol throughout thenight, alternate between an alco-holic beverage and a glass of waterinstead. This will save you moneyand help you avoid drinking to ex-cess.

1. St. Patrick was Irish.BLARNEY: St. Patrick was born in what todaywould be called Britain. He was kidnapped byIrish brigands and brought to Ireland at age16. He later escaped to Gaul (France) and re-turned to his homeland. Because no one in the5th century was known as British, Patrick canbe more accurately called a Celtic Briton, sonof a low-level Roman official.

2. Patrick wasn't the first Christian missionary tovisit Ireland.FACT: There were other missionaries to visit theEmerald Isle, but none were as successful asPatrick. One of the best known was Palladius.In fact, some of the accomplishments attributedto Patrick may have actually been theresult of Palladius' work.

3. St. Patrick drove snakes into the Irish Sea.BLARNEY: Snakes have never beennative to Ireland, and Patrick didnot drive any off the land. This mayhave been a metaphor for druidicreligions, which began to disap-pear as Christianity spread on theisland.

4. The Christian concept of the Trinitybeing taught with a shamrock cannot be accurately creditedto St. Patrick.FACT: There is no mention ofusing a three-leaf shamrock toteach the concept of the trinity inPatrick's writings. Some have suggestedthe idea derives from an earlierCeltic tradition of using the sham-rock as a metaphor representing a"trust in your soul," "belief in yourheart" and "faith in your mind."Who Christianized the idea is notcertain.

5. Green was always a lucky color with the Irish.BLARNEY: Irish folklore states that green was thefavorite color of the Good People (Irish fairies).The fairies would steal people, especially chil-dren, who wore too much green. Hence thecolor was long thought to be unlucky.

6. The annual St. Patrick's Day Parade is an Irishtradition.BLARNEY: Actually, it's an American tradition.The Irish used to commemorate St. Patrick in asolemn religious remembrance. The original St.Patrick's Day Parade may be traced to a partyin New York City, which Irishman John Marshallheld at his home. Guests walked together to thehouse, thus forming an unofficial parade.

7. Drinking Guinness, the popular Irishstout, could be good for the heart.FACT: According to research by the Ameri-can Heart Association, Guinness may be

as effective as daily aspirin in reducingthe blood clots that cause heart at-tacks. The benefit comes from antioxi-dants, which the researchers sayreduce cholesterol deposits on arterialwalls. Therefore, raise a glass andsay, "Slainte!"

8. Leprechauns are cute, mischeviouselves in Irish folklore.

BLARNEY: Actually, they were disgrun-tled, nasty and brutish elves in theemploy of Irish fairies as cobblers.

9. Luck of the Irish refers to theabundance of luck long enjoyed by theIrish.

BLARNEY: It refers to the luck many Irishdescendants had during the gold and silver rushin America during the 19th century. However, itcan also be interpreted as a condescending re-mark refering to the Irish only finding gold dueto luck, not brains.

One of the more popular holidaysacross the globe each year is St.Patrick's Day. Whether you're ofIrish heritage or not, the festive at-titude associated with Paddy'sDay is fun for all. The followingcities are some of the more popu-lar haunts for Paddy's Day rev-elry. But even if you can't make itto any of these locales for the bigday, you can still find somewhereclose to home that celebrates thismost festive of holidays. Perhapsone of the fine establishments fea-tured on these pages?• SAN FRANCISCO: While it's typ-ical for Americans to associatethe Northeast part of the country,in particular New York City andBoston, with Paddy's Day, San-Francisco will host its 158th An-nual St. Patrick's Day Parade in2010. The accompanying St.Patrick's Day celebration featurea host of musical acts influencedby traditional Irish music. • NEW YORK CITY: Perhaps no St.Patrick's Day parade is morewidely known than the 42-blockstroll uptown along Manhattan'sfamed Fifth Avenue. Featuring ap-proximately 150,000 marchers,the New York Saint Patrick's DayParade is quickly approaching its

250th anniversary. And whenspeaking of New York City, onecan't help but mention the city'srenowned and thriving nightlife,making it a perfect place forPaddy's Day revelers to let looseand enjoy themselves in celebra-tion of Saint Patrick.• TOKYO, JAPAN: The Tokyo St.Patrick's Day Parade is thebiggest Irish event in Japan. A tra-dition since 1992, the TokyoPaddy's Day Parade typically fea-tures 2,000 participants, with sev-eral thousand more spectators onhand. Past participants in the pa-rade have even included formerIrish Deputy Prime Minsiter MaryHarney.• BOSTON: Another city synoy-mous with St. Patrick's Day thanksto its large Irish and Irish-Ameri-can population, Boston hashosted a wildly popular Paddy'sDay parade for more than 100years. Featuring dozens of bandsfrom Ireland and across NorthAmerica, the Boston St. Patrick'sDay Parade does not always takeplace on St. Patrick's Day. Sothose traveling to the city for thefestivities should look into this im-portant detail when planning atrip.

Brooklyn’s FinestStarring: Don Cheadle, EthanHawke and Richard GereDirected by: Antoine Fuqua

Antoine Fuqua, director of theaward-winning Training Day,brings audiences another copdrama. However, unlike his brilliant2001 hit, Fuqua’s Brooklyn’s Finest issimply that — fine.

The film follows three policeofficers as they struggle with per-

sonal and professional anguishfrom working on the force in Brook-lyn. The three become connectedwhen their paths accidentally crossin a climactic encounter.

Having lost all hope in humani-ty after serving 22 dishearteningyears on the force, Eddie (Gere) isseven days away from retirement.He is introduced to the audienceattempting to commit suicide.When the attempt proves unsuc-cessful, Eddie concedes to trying toget through his last week as a copwithout any problems.

Problems are all Sal (Hawke)seems to have in his life. As an over-worked and underpaid cop whofalls victim to the merciless SWATlifestyle, Sal’s family life suffers as aresult of his professional woes.Stressed to the breaking point fromfamily and financial troubles, Salslowly transforms into his ownworst enemy.

And to top off the trio we haveTango (Cheadle) — a street-smartundercover cop. Tango is chained

to his undercover persona butwants nothing more than to pursuea mundane career working behinda desk. Ultimately, Tango is forcedto choose between his two loyalties– his friend Caz (Snipes), who savedhis life, or his belief in the law.

Like most crooked-cop moviesthe film reveals the sleazy side ofthe law, complete with drugs, sexand bloody violence. The movie fol-lows a familiar cycle, but unlike inTraining Day, Fuqua fails to find anequal balance of intensity. Theaudience becomes so desensitizedfrom Fuqua’s extreme shock-tacticsthat when the climax finally rollsaround, the audience is unaffected.

The film is somewhat saved bythe talented cast. Gere, Hawke andCheadle are able to use their actingexpertise to give each character mul-tiple dimensions, and all three leadactors give memorable perfor-mances. Unfortunately, their perfor-mances are not enough to make upfor the overall execution of the film.

Due to the excessive use of vul-garity and overbearing music, anypotential the story has to impactthe viewer on a deeper level is ulti-mately ineffective. The plot is lost inan arbitrary bloodbath. The mosttragic part of the film is its ending –– but viewers unfortunately have tosit through the rest of its crooked-cop clichés first.

Cop and mob movie lovers willbe left feeling unmoved by Fuqua’semotionless yet intense film. As awhole, however, the movie lives upto being a decent guilty pleasure foranyone in the mood for immorallystimulating entertainment.

Snoop DoggSnoop Dogg Presents: The West Coast BlueprintPriority Records

Hip-hop phenomenon Snoop Doggkicks off his newly appointed posi-tion as creative chairman for the Pri-ority Records label with the release ofSnoop Dogg Presents: The West CoastBlueprint. As a seasoned rap veteran,Snoop revisits old school hip-hop asa tribute to the originators of theWest Coast rap movement.

The album is a far cry from agreatest hits compilation. Rather, itis a hand-picked collection ofSnoop Dogg’s favourites. The pur-pose of the album is clearlyexpressed in Low Profile’s classic“Pay Ya Dues.”

The West Coast Blueprint paysits dues to the pioneers of the WestCoast hip-hop scene by incorpo-rating revolutionary rap artists andgroups such as N.W.A, Eazy-E andMack 10. Classic hits such as“Eazy-Duz-It” by Eazy-E and Rap-pin’ 4-Tay’s “Playaz Club” arepleasantly accompanied by theequally classic, yet less recogniz-able tracks such as Kid Frost’s “LaRaza” and “You Can’t Play With MyYo-Yo” by female rapper Yo-Yo fea-turing Ice Cube.

Snoop Dogg ends on a highnote, paying homage to Ice Cubeand the West Coast with his debutremake of “Check Yo Self” featuringThe Hustle Boyz.

Proving nostalgia is never out offashion in the music world, SnoopDogg Presents: The West Coast Blue-print provides a brief yet authentichistory lesson valuable for all raplovers.

Fashion meets philanthropy at Eden show7th annual Infusion fashion show supports young adult cancer survivors

Gazette co-op student, Anna Paliy,shot a few questions at an execu-tive volunteer of the fashion show,Vanessa Jordan.

Anna: How do you hope the showmay affect or impact the Londoncommunity?

Vanessa: [We hope it will]awaken peer support [and] inspireawareness for youth, which is avery underestimated demograph-ic in the context of cancer afflic-tion, and often ignored –– unlikechildren and the elderly, which areemphasized in society. Cancer inyouth is common and widespread,and must be treated as such.

Anna: Why a fashion show?How is it relevant to the cause?

Vanessa: London is a very artsycommunity, and a fashion show isa way to present the cause in amanner which [is] relevant to theyoung population of the city. It is away to arouse interest in specta-tors while still keeping thingsfocused on the cause which isexhibited.

Anna: What inspired theshow’s title, “Eden”?

Vanessa: Modern society is verymuch focused on environmentalawareness, which is what inspiredthe name of this event …“Eden” isa symbolic representation ofnature, heaven and angels. Theseare all elements which, in an alle-gorical way, are tied in with thecause we are promoting.

–– Anna Paliy

Elliott also received consider-able attention for his role on specialteams where he serves as a longsnapper.

Guelph kicker Rob Maver —who is the seventh ranked prospectby the CFL’s Amateur ScoutingBureau — was in London last weekto help Elliott work on his longsnapping and prepare for the eval-uation camp. For Elliott, workingwith Maver was invaluable.

“We worked a lot together. Ithelped me feel really comfortablewith him standing behind me forthe e-camp snaps,” Elliott said. “Ithink [training with Maver] workedout in my favour. I ended up doingreally well.”

Elliott was the only long snapperat the camp, which gave him thedubious pleasure of going throughon-field drills by himself Sundaymorning in front of about 60-70scouts.

“It was a little crazy with somany scouts looking at you. It waskind of nerve wracking,” Elliott said.

“But once you get that aspect out ofyour head you calm down and justgo with the flow.”

After Saturday’s highly scruti-nized fitness testing, the live drillson Sunday at the University ofToronto’s Varsity Centre gave theplayers a chance to show what theycan do on the field. Although theplayers were not wearing fullpadding, no one was letting up inorder to impress the scouts fromthe CFL’s eight teams.

“We only had half pads buteveryone was still going pedal to themetal because you have every singlescout looking at you,” Elliott said.“You don’t even have time to thinkabout what you just did. Everyone’smoving so fast, you’re hopping backin right after your last rep.”

Elliott went through the paceswith the other linebackers at thecamp in one-on-one pursuit drillswith the running backs and cover-age drills with the wide receivers.That meant going up against someof the country’s most highly toutedoffensive threats like Bishop’s widereceiver Steven Turner and Laurierrunning back Mike Montoya.

Greaves and Buttrill took part inlive pass rushes against some top

linemen from both Canada and theU.S., including Washington St.’sEppele who is ranked 11th on theCFL Amateur Scouting Bureau’s listof top prospects.

“The competition level was pret-ty high, there [were] a lot of talent-ed guys there,” Greaves said. “Ithink I did pretty well compared tothe rest of the them. I feel like I wasone of the best defensive linementhere in terms of pass rushing anddrills.”

“It was good to learn how I com-pared to the other players at myposition in the country,” Buttrilladded. “Going against a new set ofguys was a little different. It’s fun totry to figure them out but it’s hardto win when you’re going againstthose top guys.”

The only thing left to do for theMustangs trio is to wait. CFL teamsaren’t allowed to communicatewith the possible draftees in anyway between the evaluation campand draft day, in order to avoid tam-pering and to ensure a level playingfield.

“Hopefully on draft day I’ll hearmy name called,” Elliott said.

“It’s going to be a long monthand a half, that’s for sure.”

MUSTANGS AT CFI E-CAMP

Mustangs have high hopes for CFL

By Arden ZwellingGazette Staff

Western Mustangs defensive linemanChris Greaves is not a small man. At six-foot-six, 282 lbs, the Mississauga nativetends to stand out in line at the Ceeps.

But even Greaves was blown away thisweekend when he saw Washington Stateoffensive lineman Joe Eppele at the Cana-dian Football League’s annual evaluationcamp in Toronto.

“That guy is a monster — an absolutemonster,” Greaves said of the six-foot-eight, 306-pounder. “The guy is 300 lbsand he has abs. I didn’t even know thatwas possible.”

Greaves was one of three Mustangswho were measured up against Eppeleand the nation’s other highest rankedfootball players at the CFL’s annual com-bine, spanning two days of drills, inter-

views and fitness tests before representa-tives from the CFL’s eight teams.

Joining Greaves were Mustangs line-backer Conor Elliott and offensive linemanJosh Buttrill, who will hope to hear theirnames called on CFL draft day May 2.

“It was a pretty stacked camp in termsof talent,” Greaves said. “It was good to geta gauge of what they expect from you andwhat you have to bring to the table. It givesyou a good idea of where you need to be.”

One of the toughest events of theweekend was the team interviews, wherethe players’ psyches were put to the test.Each team could have an individual ses-sion with any player they wanted and nodiscussion topic was off limits.

“I heard about one guy who was toldby the head coach before the intervieweven began that he was undersized, soyou have to be ready for anything,” But-trill said. “You have to roll with the punch-

es. You know they’re going to try to throwyou off guard and try to get you to stumbleso you just have to stay loose and com-fortable.”

Elliott spoke to the Edmonton Eski-mos, Hamilton Tiger Cats and MontrealAlouettes. Greaves had interviews with theWinnipeg Blue Bombers and BC Lions,while Buttrill had sit-downs with the Lionsand the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

“It was intense. Basically you walkinto a room — there’s a circle of six orseven chairs for the scouts and yourchair opposite to them. They stick thisvideo camera right in your face andthese guys just sit there and drill youwith question after question after ques-tion,” Elliott said.

“They were asking questions aboutanything you can think of,” Greaves
