Park, Goldfarb mellow on
campaign colour conflict
By Shreya Tekriwal
Gazette Staff
Is yellow the new gold?
Two University Students’ Coun-
cil presidential candidates may
have to deal with confused students
due to similarities in their cam-
paign colours.
While Marshall Goldfarb techni-
cally chose gold as his campaign
colour and Ray Park chose sun-
shine yellow, there appears to be lit-
tle difference between the two.
“Elections committee doesn’t
have anything governing choice of
colours. If candidates want use the
same colours, it’s their own prerog-
ative,” Phil Sach, chief returning
officer for the University Students’
Council elections committee, said.

Zeljkovic charges stayed
By Cheryl Stone
Gazette Staff
Yesterday, charges were stayed
against the student arrested in the
Social Science Centre in October.
Irnes Zeljkovic was charged
with mischief, resisting arrest,
escaping custody and assaulting a
peace officer.
“A stay in proceedings are
almost as good as a withdrawal of
charges,” Phillip Millar, lawyer for
Zeljkovic, said of the decision.
He explained the prosecution
decided the charges would be stayed
because Zeljkovic was having diffi-

ate that. But it’s out of our hands —
they do what they want with their
colours.”
According to Sach, demerit
points will not be awarded for the
colour mix-up, as choice of colours
is not protected by election bylaws.
“Am I mad? Not really. But at the
same time, it doesn’t really help me
out,” Park said.
While Park felt it might be a little
confusing for students, he did not
think it would be a major issue.
“It could bring up some conflicts
[…] but hopefully it’s not going to
be too much of an issue […] Hope-
fully people won’t be too confused,”
Park added.

ours appears that way, it’s gold,”
Goldfarb said. “It is fairly similar but

time.
Millar felt the prosecution real-
ized there was no ground for the
charges because of Zeljkovic’s diag-
nosis.
“He can’t be charged if he didn’t
intend to do it,” Millar said.
“[The stay] allows medical pro-
fessionals to weigh in and ask if this
guy really knew what he was
doing,” Millar added.
Zeljkovic has been in treatment
since the incident, and according to
Millar is “100 times better.”

Park mentioned when an e-mail
regarding campaign colours was
sent out to the candidates, Goldfarb
was not included in the recipients.
“In all honesty, when Phil sent us
an e-mail, Marshall was not part of
that process because the CRO did
not know he was running. I can’t
really complain because when I
told everyone that my colour was
yellow, Marshall didn’t know about
it because he wasn’t part of the
process,” Park said.
Goldfarb noted nothing could
have been done had he known
about the colours sooner.
“The problem is we didn’t really
know about this until after our
colours were picked so everything
was finalized, shirts were ordered,
etc […] so [there is] nothing we can
do about it,” Goldfarb added.

conduct an independent review of
other aspects of the case.
Gitta Kulczycki, Western’s vice-

added the review has not been
completed, and the results have yet
to be released.
Millar explained the next step is
to ensure everyone is held respon-
sible for their actions.

Ridership down
following strike
By Abid Aziz-Ladhani
Gazette Staff
Lower than average ridership is
plaguing the London Transit
Commission in the aftermath of a
month-long strike.
In addition to costing the LTC
approximately $3 million in rev-
enue, the strike has caused a
reduced number of riders even as
the Commission continues to
operate normally.
“We lost a lot of ridership,”
Harold Usher, commissioner for
the LTC, said. “First of all [we] lost
a lot of revenue as a result of the
days that we were not operating,
but we saved some money
because we were not operating.”
However, Usher believed the
LTC probably saved more money
in 2009 than it lost due to the lack
of operating costs incurred during
the strike.
“It takes a while for people to
come back as customers,” Usher
added. “Then some people will
never come back as a customer
because they have found alter-
nate forms of transportation.”
“A municipal transit strike usu-
ally requires a year recovery,” Tom
Gosnell, deputy mayor of the City
of London, said.
Despite low ridership and the
lost revenue incurred by the Com-
mission, Gosnell believed there
THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2010
will not be a need for the City to
fund the LTC additionally. But he
mentioned action will be taken in
the future if such an issue persists.
“If [the LTC] doesn’t recover
and if it continues at the rate we
are at now, it would require a fare
change and more money from the
City or a combination of both,”
Gosnell said.
Moreover, according to Gos-
nell, the City has reserves set aside
if the LTC requires further assis-
tance.
“We are going to get our rider-
ship back — it’s just a matter of
time,” Usher said. “We have
always been doing promotion for
ridership — we don’t sit back and
say ‘riders will come’ — we have a
plan.”
Usher cited a number of mar-
keting and advertising strategies
used to improve ridership.
Additionally, unemployment
may also be a factor contributing
to low ridership according to Gos-
nell.
“That’s had an impact espe-
cially in the lower income and
younger ridership,” he said.
Plans to expand the LTC are in
the works, despite supposed dis-
interest of the public.
“At the same time we are trying
to grow the transit system,” Gos-
nell added. “We hope to get more
people on it.”

Rock on … quietly
Rock the Park needs to decrease the
noise or increase its budget.
City hall has stated Harris Park
will be off-limits to the outdoor
music festival known as Rock the
Park. After receiving numerous
noise complaints during the event
in previous years, City officials have
asked the festival to turn down the
volume.
As a potential solution, the City
is recommending a $5,000 deposit
from Rock the Park.
Having violated the communi-
ty’s noise bylaw for the past two
years, current provisions state the
festival will not be permitted to be
held in the park this summer, but
an amendment to the bylaw has
been proposed. If noise bylaws
are violated for a third time, the
$5,000 security deposit will be for-
feited and the money will go to
the City.
“Some people complained the
music was so loud they couldn’t talk
or watch television,” David Win-
Teach English

ninger, committee chairperson for
Rock the Park, said. “But other peo-
ple like to sit out on their deck and
enjoy the concert. We get both
kinds of responses.”
In terms of the London commu-
nity, Winninger emphasized con-
certs like this are “good for the city,”
as they support the arts and enforce
London’s identity as a creative city.
“We also have to be mindful that
people want to quietly enjoy their
property, and [concerts like Rock
the Park] can interfere,” he added.
The change in regulation will go
before the city council’s communi-
ty and protective services on Mon-
day.

Fish are friends
The thought of fish for dinner may
be unsettling for some, but accord-
ing to a study published in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical Associ-
ation, the omega-3 fatty acids
found in fish can slow down the
aging process and help lower the
risk of cardiovascular disease.
Fish is also known to be one of
the best anti-inflammatory foods
because of its rich concentration in
omega-3 fatty acids. Inflammation
is reduced in areas such as the
arteries.
Len Piché, a registered dietitian
and professor of food and nutri-
tional sciences at Western, noted
sardines can be important source
of omega-3s.
“Sardine body oil is known for its
very long chain of omega-3 fatty
acids,” Piché said. “I love to eat sar-
dines on top of a nice piece of toast-
ed rye bread or 12 grain English
muffin.”
The study noted a three ounce
serving of canned Atlantic sardines
has about 22 grams of protein, large
amounts of iron, vitamins B12, E, D
and potassium. This serving also
contains 340 milligrams of calcium
— more than a glass of milk — with
the calcium coming from the small,
edible bones.
Piché used the term “highly
unsaturated fatty acids,” or
“HUFAs,” to describe these long
chains of important fatty acids.
For people who cannot stomach
fish of any kind, Piché suggested
taking omega-3 supplements in
order for the body to reap the
numerous health benefits fish have
to offer.

Downtown campus part of
Fanshawe’s future plans
By Gloria Dickie
Gazette Staff
Fanshawe College is considering
expanding its east-end campus into
the city’s core — a move that could
either revitalize or devastate the
area.
“We’re having conversations in
the future, and within the next few
months we’ll have a better idea as
to the construction that will be
done,” Bernice Hull, vice-president
of administration at Fanshawe Col-
lege, said. Hull noted the exact loca-
tion of the satellite campus is not
yet known.
“I’m very positive about the
amount of interest in the down-
town both from the businesses and
the [area] residents,” Hull said.
Wilfrid Laurier University saw
success when it expanded its cam-
pus to downtown Brantford in 1999.
“Students, particularly when
there are residences downtown,
spend money. Whether it’s at the
pubs or at the local grocery stores,
there’s a local economy that goes
with students,” Leo Groarke, dean
of Laurier’s Brantford campus, said.
Groarke, who joined the Brant-
ford campus in 2000, witnessed the
University’s success first hand.
“We started with just one build-
ing, and now if you include the
buildings we rent, the campus has
grown to 18 buildings downtown,”
Groarke said.
Issues involving student hous-
ing may be raised if the Fanshawe
decides to relocate some of its stu-
dent body, whether it be in resi-
dences or off-campus housing

tip over the net.
Despite the loss, Rams head
coach Dustin Reid was pleased with
his team’s effort.
“We competed hard on a lot of
the points,” he said. “Western
played very well today. It is one the
best games I’ve seen them play.”
After falling behind early in the
third set, Lowrie was pleased with
the way his team battled back to
win the game.
“We put some different kids on
the floor, so they found some ener-
gy there. With a big game against
York tomorrow, I thought it was
good to get out of here 3-0,” he said.
“We’ll enjoy the win right now,”
Lowry added. “As soon as we leave
the gym we’ll refocus and get ready
for a big match tomorrow.”

The Rams also have to refocus
after the loss, as they play Windsor
Sunday. Though their record is
below .500, they still find them-
selves in a position to sneak into the
playoffs.
“In the OUA, you have a lot of
back-to-back games,” Reid said.
“Whether it’s a good match or a bad
match, if you can’t leave it behind
you, then you can’t be successful.”
The Mustangs also realize these
few remaining home games are
extremely important in the out-
come of their season.
“We could finish anywhere from
second place to fifth place,” Lowrie
said. “We have three more home
games. I think we have to win all
those, and then go on the road and
win some matches.”

TIPS ON — HOW TO WRITE A
CLASSIFIED AD THAT SELLS
1. Use a KEYWORD. This immediately
tells the reader exactly what it is you have
to sell.
2. Make your description CLEAR and FAC-
TUAL. State the year, make, model, color,
size, and tell what condition the item is.
Also state the special features.
3. State the PRICE. Successful Classified
advertisers have learned that the price in
an ad helps increase the chances for re-
sults.
4. If there’s a genuine sense of URGENCY,
say so. The words, “We‘re Moving” or
“Must Sell Fast” suggests that readers re-
spond immediately.
5. Include your PHONE NUMBER. Classi-
fieds get results fast and often generate im-
mediate sales. If you cannot be available
to answer the phone at all times, be sure to
specify special calling times such as “after
6 pm” or “Before 11 am.”

…Western swimmers win 21 golds at tri-meet in St. Catharines… Jennifer Nguyen leads women’s wrestling team to bronze at Queen’s Invitational…
WHEN YOUR RECORD IS 11-1 YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH PLAYING LEAPFROG DURING YOUR VOLLEYBALL
GAME TOO. The men’s volleyball team took their win streak to nine games with a hard-fought three set victo-
ry over the Ryerson Rams. Once again, Mathieu Poulin and Eric Simon came up huge for the Mustangs with
13 and eight kills respectively. With the victory, the Mustangs were able to hold off the McMaster Marauders
and stay in first place overall.
Women return home to smash Rams
By Justin Duckett
Gazette Staff
In their first home game of 2010,
the Western women’s volleyball
team used a strong group effort to
overwhelm the Ryerson Rams in
three sets, 25-14, 25-18, and 25-18.
After losing three consecutive
games, the Mustangs have put
together two big wins to remain in
third in the competitive Ontario
University Athletics West division.
“I’m really happy with the team,”
Sports
Mustangs head coach Dean Lowrie
said. “It’s the first time we had that
group all on the floor again, and the
confidence was good.”
Fourth-year veteran Sara Farrell
returned to the lineup Saturday to
give the team a boost. It was her
first game in almost eight weeks
after suffering from a broken bone
in her hand. She asserted herself in
the game, finishing with six points
and five kills.
“She played with so much confi-
dence. She was setting balls with no
Piotr Angiel/Gazette
hesitation, and I’m really happy
with how well she played,” Lowrie
said.
The Mustangs jumped on the
Rams early, controlling the first set
with an 8-6 lead at the first technical
timeout. Fourth-year hitter Sarah
Lowry had a huge kill midway
through the set, stretching the lead
to 17-11. The Mustangs never let up,
ultimately winning the set 25-14.
“It was a great team effort.

Mustangs winning
streak reaches nine
Poulin dominates Rams
with 14 points, 13 kills
By Justin Duckett
Gazette Staff
The Western men’s volleyball team
managed to come from behind
twice, in an exciting game that saw
them extend their winning streak to
nine. The Mustangs defeated the
Ryerson Rams in three straight sets,
25-14, 25-23, 26-24, Saturday after-
noon at Alumni Hall.
“We’ll take the 3-0 win,” Mus-
tang head coach Jim Sage said. “I
was happy with our drive and grit,
as far as being down in the second
and third sets and coming back and
winning them.”
“I think we were solid,” Rams
head coach Mirek Porosa said. “We
competed really hard in the last two
sets, but we showed our inexperi-
ence in the end. Both sets could
have gone either way.”
The first set saw the Mustangs
controlling much of the play. They
led throughout and ended it on a
powerful kill from second-year
middle, Mathew Waite.
Ryerson played much stronger in
the second set, leading 8-7 at the first
technical timeout. Western battled
back though, taking a 16-15 lead at
the second technical timeout due to
a missed serve from the Rams.
Though Ryerson regained the
23-20 lead, Western called a key
timeout that shifted the momen-
tum. The Mustangs answered with
five straight points and won the set
25-23.
Porosa made some important
adjustments that allowed Ryerson
to play an improved game in the
second set.
“We made two substitutions,” he
said. “We couldn’t pass the ball and
were forced to sit outside. That was
the difference, the two new guys I
brought in.”
The third set was almost a replay

of the second. Ryerson led at both
technical timeouts, and had a 21-18
lead before Western called a time-
out. The momentum shifted again,
and rookie Phil James had a huge
kill to tie it at 22-22.
Western continued to fight, and
won the set 26-24 on a powerful
serve from fifth-year star Eric
Simon that Ryerson could not
return.
Mathieu Poulin was awarded
player of the game for Western,
leading the way with 14 points and
13 kills. Simon also played well,
with eight kills and 12 digs.
“Sometimes it takes a slap in the
face before we start to realize we
might lose the set,” Simon said. “We
have to change that, because
against really good teams it may be
too late.”
Sage also commented on the
momentum swinging timeouts in
the second and third sets.
“We have some really good lead-
ers on this team. Those guys are set-
ting the goals for the team. They
will buy into that a little bit more
than us berating them with the
same comment after comment,” he
said.
Though Western did manage to
extend their win streak to nine, they
realize every game is still crucial in
order to stay atop the Ontario Uni-
versity Athletics standings.
“We have to be really careful
playing a team that is theoretically
less than Ryerson,” Sage said. “We
could walk into [any] match and be
rudely awakened. We don’t want
that to happen.”
The Mustangs play York Sunday,
and know they can’t take the game
lightly.
“We can’t take any team lightly,”
Simon added. “York took us to five
in their home gym so we’re pretty
pumped to get some revenge.”
