On Feb. 24, while many students were relishing their last few days of Reading Week, the Guelph Wellington Health Coalition (GWHC) organized a rally outside of Liz Sandalss office at 173 Woolwich St. to protest the Drummond report. The report, which was released on Feb. 15, advises the government of Ontario to make necessary cuts to the provincial budget in order to reduce the provinces significant deficit, which is currently the highest out of all the Canadian provinces. Many of the reports recommendations target the education and healthcare systems, as well as other social services. Increasing class sizes in elementary schools and high schools, eliminating the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit, and capping growth of healthcare spending at 2.5 per cent for the next five to six years are just a few of the reports proposals. At the rally, the GWHC and a number of community members showed their disapproval for Drummonds suggestions. All the figures show that government spending is not out of control because of its spending on hospitals and medical care, said Magee McGuire, the chair of the GWHC. In fact, we have decreased spending on health services in the last eight years since the Liberals have been in power. So
apocalyptic legislation? preparation 2012! Wyoming lawmakers are up for a challenge. On Feb. 24 they asked the Wyoming House for permission to establish a Doomsday taskforce. The task force would investigate what legislations would be needed in the event of an apocalypse. Although there is no clarification as to what exactly economic and political turmoil entails, it includes government shut down and food shortages. As a precautionary measure, the task force would partner with Homeland Security and the State Attorney General to create the Doomsday Bill. The bill would focus on how Wyomings ability to formulate its own army and currency. Hopefully, Wyoming lawmakers idea of Doomsday doesnt include this weeks jump in gas prices. (Huffington Post) removal of conditional sentencing may cost millions The omnibus crime bill is revealing some new numbers. Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page says that the removal of conditional sentencing might cost an additional $145 million. Conditional sentencing, commonly referred to as house arrest, is a practice where offenders are not held in prisons, but serve their sentences within the community. Without the possibility of conditional sentencing, Page says that people will be less likely to plead guilty and present their case before the courts placing a stress on the judicial system. The need for parole officers will also drive up the cost of the new crime bill, which is currently being evaluated by the senate. (CBC) sheppard subway up for debate The Toronto City Council will vote on Mar. 15 to determine what kind of transit system will service Sheppard Ave. E. The main transit option that will be considered is the construction of a light, aboveground railway. The scheduled date will most likely halt Mayor Rob Fords plan to extend the Sheppard subway line, which was one of Fords election promises. In January, Ford had cancelled a previous Toronto City Council meeting and went directly to the province to sign a non-binding alternative transit plan that would include an underground subway. However, the provincial government determined that Ford did not have the authority to override the Council, and determine the citys $8.4 billion TTC extension plan. (The Star)

what does the government mean when they say that the services are too expensive? Seniors, individuals with low incomes, and those who rely on social assistance will be especially affected by the changes to government spending if the reports recommendations are approved. However, university students in Ontario are also not immune to the report. Despite its recent implementation, the 30 per cent tuition rebate is on Drummonds list of suggested cutbacks. the reports suggestions.

csa elections
Cast your ballot
Beth Purdon-mclellan
The CSA elections are here, and students will have the opportunity to vote for next years student government. Students can select their preferred candidate for executive positions, Board of Directors positions and a set of referendum questions. Earlier this week, the CSA sent an email to students Gryph account, which provides a link to the students ballot. The polls close on Mar. 2. The CSA will announce the elections results on Mar. 5. The role of an At Large is primarily Student advocacy and voting on pertinent issues that affect the university and City of Guelph as a whole, and sub committee representation, said Steven Kavaratzis, Promotional AEO of the elections. Sub-committees are responsible for getting students the services they need, or organizing on campus events. At Large reps also play a large role in the CSA hiring process. Pretty much every function or operation of the CSA has a sub-committee that governs it, or oversees it, or helps manage it, and board member are a part of all those committees, as well as staff and executives, said Jakki Doyle, Central Student Association Chief Electoral Officer. This CSA election, students will be asked to vote on a series of referendum questions, which help the CSA gage how they should change student policy. The referendum is the CSAs official way to garner student input or interest on what ever opinion, said Doyle. The bottled water referendum question is opinion based. If the referendum passed, it would give the CSA a mandate to lobby Hospitality and the university to remove bottle water from campus, as they did in the Bullring. The other questions are from CSA clubs The Teatree House and the Universities Fight World Hunger. These clubs are asking students to increase the amount of money given to them as part of student fees. Students can read the questions and decide either way as long as they vote before the polls close on Mar. 2.
The referendum is the CSAs official way to garner student input or interest on what ever opinion. Jakki Doyle.
For new students, it may be difficult to distinguish the different candidate positions. Executive Directors are paid positions, and are full time staff members of the CSA, whereas Board Directors are volunteers. Board members are often referred to as At Large representatives. There are a total of 14 At Large Representatives, with two representatives for each college, excluding CME and OVC.

growing interest and success of the Garden2Table program. The program was designed in part to combat obesity. Although Garden2Table focuses on younger children, they hope children will teach their parents about making better food choices. Garden2Table hosts three events a year. In addition to school visits, they hold an open house in the fall for the community and the industry to experience the garden. Their largest event is the College Royal, where they will hold a cooking class and demonstration by prominent members of the food community such as Ezra Title from The Food Networks The Healthy Gourmet; Chriss Jess from the Food School in Fergus; Shea Robinson, executive chef from Wildcraft in Waterloo; and Matthew Foote, executive chef of Borealis Grille & Bar. Garden2Table is working hard to educate others about what real food is, and seeing your meal from the ground, up.

He owns and operates Torontos Royal Alexandra Theatre, Princess of Wales Theatre, Ed Mirvish Theatre (formerly the Canon Theatre) and Panasonic Theatre. David is a cultural icon and leader, said Alastair Summerlee in a press release. He will also add luster to our reputation as a place that inspires creativity and engaged inquiry. As chancellor, Mirvish will serve as titular head of the University with the power to confer all degrees. The chancellor also serves as a member of the Board of Governors. Its an honour and privilege to be asked to serve as chancellor of the University of Guelph, said Mirvish. I am proud to become a member of a university community that is making a difference around the world. Whether it be the food on our tables, the quality of the environment, our health, and the critical aspects of our communities and culture, the University of Guelph is having an impact. I look forward to getting to know the students, faculty, staff and alumni, and to being an ambassador for Guelphs people, ideas and innovations.

This can lead to a tense body, muscle spasms and difficulty relaxing your psychological sate. Get your daily dose of magnesium by snacking on foods such as pumpkin seeds, Swiss chard or grinding some flaxseed on your morning cereal. Finally, your immune system suffers when you are undergoing stress. Doesnt it always seem as if that cold has been patiently waiting to attack until an opportunity arises during which we can least afford to be sick? Maybe this is all triggered by a lack of sleep, or perhaps changes in diet due to less time to plan healthy meals. A healthy well-balanced diet with snacks and meals throughout the day (i.e. dont skip meals, especially breakfast and avoid snacking on high sugar/fat/calorie foods and drinks) is vital to good health, explains Dr. Lindsay Robinson, associate professor
of human health and nutritional sciences at the University of Guelph. Stress increases the levels of cortisol in your blood, in attempts to raise blood sugar through the process of gluconeogenesis to allow more energy to be supplied to your cells. Cortisol triggers excessive gluconeogenesis, which results in high blood glucose levels, even during times in which the body is fasting. In addition, insulin is counteracted by cortisol. This means that these elevated levels may eventually lead to the development of Type 2 diabetes, given they are constant and uncontrolled. Further, high levels of cortisol also lower your immunity. It is believed that the prevention of Type 2 diabetes is based up to 60 per cent on lifestyle, and physical activity is an excellent prevention tool. The prevention of many illnesses, diseases, and the reduction of stress as well can be achieved by physical activity. Regular physical activity [such as to take] a study break and go for a brisk walk or jog, says Robinson. It is important to remember, during this hectic time of year, that what you choose to nourish your body with will also reflect in your mental well-being. Relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or yoga, can help manage stress. Keep in mind that short study breaks with spurts of physical activity will not only refresh your mind, but are also productive means of procrastination! As you get back to hitting the books, snack on some brain food and take that much deserved revitalizing break when you have reached the point of muddled thinking.

Voting is done electronically, and the information is available through a students Gryphmail account.a We asked each of the candidates two questions. The first of the two is printed here. The answers to the second question, What do you hope to be able to achieve in this position?, are available at theontarion.com. Students will also be voting on at-large representatives from five different colleges and on three different referendum questions. Information about those is available on page 4.

The strength of the External Affairs Commissioner and the CSA as a whole is dependent upon the support and participation of the student body. When, together, we become active and passionate about the causes that improve student conditions we can start to really win. The best External Affairs candidate is someone who can encourage students to get informed, get involved, and work together. I think I am that candidate. I am focused on getting students mobilized and working together to achieve a tuition freeze. I also have the necessary experience advocating for students. I served on the CSA Board this year as an elected representative of students from CSAHS. During the last CSA Election I promised to advocate for more student space and more accessible education. I helped organize the UC Sit-in that took place in December. It advocated for more social and study space on campus. I helped out with the Fight the Hikes campaign for accessible education and got students to participate in the Canada Wide Day of Action against the rise of tuition fees in February. I was elected by students to work on accessible education and increased student space and I kept my promises to students.

I was elected in the CSA by-election and have been your Communications and Corporate Affairs Commissioner for five months now. We need to continue and expand campaigns such as the campaign for adequate student space on campus; the Fight the Hikes campaign for affordable, quality, public education; and the campaign for a bottled water free campus. I believe in an outwardly focused and active student union that directly involves our membership and breaks through the CSA bubble. Together we can make positive change on campus and in our community in students interest. To do this we need to reach out to our 20 000 members. I promise to table in the UC courtyard at least once a week and continue work on the new CSA website, integrated with social media, which will give students a direct connection to their student union. I have been a volunteer at the CSA for five years and have sat on the Board of Directors for two years. Other involvement includes board membership at OPIRG and CFRU. I am a firm believer in an inclusive and anti-oppressive CSA that advocates to expand students rights. Re-elect Drew for Communications and Corporate Affairs!
chArLeS hAmILTON
I think my drive, passion and dedication will play a very important role in being a strong candidate for this position. I have spent the past four years building strong relationships, through my work in Student Housing Services and Hospitality Services, which has positioned me to be able to engage and collaborate with a variety of students and campus partners. Ive been actively involved in several CSA initiatives including advocating for student space and for a bottle water free campus. I have addressed on campus and off campus student concerns around Hospitality Services, from prices of goods to quality of service, and collaborated in the development and promotion of several Hospitality sustainability initiatives. My passion for communications also stems from my experience as a member of RBC Royal Banks Executive Public Relations and Communications team for over 15 months, where I gained invaluable experience through liaising with media personal, community partners and stakeholders. The CSA to me is more than a job; with my increased resolve to represent students, I pledge to take a 20% reduction in my executive salary to re-invest back into student jobs and initiatives. I am here to serve students.
JOShuA OFOrI-dArkO
My ability to manage numerous projects at once, my strong attention to detail, and experience with the CSA as a both an active board member (20102011) and the current Human Resources & Operations Commissioner makes me a strong candidate for re-election. Having held the position for over nine months now, I have the ability to manage the internal aspects of the position (human resources, and committee work), in addition to spending more time on relevant student issues.

The Gryphons womens hockey team suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Windsor Lancers, who are currently ranked seventh in Canada, dashing any hopes of claiming the OUA banner this year. The team, who was expected to battle the Goldenhawks for the title were eliminated after losing the first two games in a three game series. With both teams eager for t the championship game spot, high pressure from both sides prevented either from scoring until the final period when, with only eight minutes left the Lancers finally succeeded in sinking a shot behind Gryphon goalie Stephanie Nehring. Jackie Sollis, Erin Small, Stephanie Nehring and Jessica Pinkerton of the Gryphons womens hockey team all received awards from the OUA.
The Guelph Gryphons womens basketball team played their last game of the season on Feb. 22, falling just a basket short in overtime to the Laurier Goldenhawks. The first through second quarters saw Guelph lead the game by a substantial amount, but were unable to maintain the gap as Laurier stepped up in the third and fourth quarters. Although the team was unable to compete in this years OUA playoffs, a number of individual athletes garnered awards for their hard work. Fourth year guard and big leader in the Laurier game, Jasmine Douglas, was named a second team all-star, and Kate MacTavish was named to the rookie all-team.
The Gryphons mens basketball team fell to the Lakehead Thunderwolves in the OUA quarterfinal game on Feb. 25. After earning their place in the OUA playoffs only days before with a tight win over Laurier after an eight-game losing streak, their hopes of making it to the OUA finals were extinguished. The Thunderwolves led the game from the start, taking a 21-point lead early on in the first quarter. The Gryphons were led by big scorers Kareem Malcolm and Dan McCarthy. The team improved their overall record from last years season, winning a total of 11 games in comparison to the nine wins in 2010-11.

The Gryphons mens volleyball team was eliminated from the OUA playoffs on Feb. 18. After winning the first two of five sets, the Gryphons then dropped the final three to the Queens Gaels, consequently ending their season. The Gryphons who were currently ranked sixth in the OUA finished with a .500 record overall after winning and losing nine games during their regulation season. The team was led by Andrew Whittaker with 18 points and Winston Ross with 14. Ross, a fourth year left side was named a first team OUA all-star for a second consecutive year.

gryph' in history
published in The Ontarion on september 26, 1995. when the new guelph mascot was introduced, university of guelph students said goodbye to their old mascot griff. with a number of significant improvements, the new mascot, named gryph, was created in the hopes of instilling hope and pride in the heart of guelphites. The old griff mascot, lacking any real resemblance to a lion except perhaps its tail and what was most likely supposed to be a mane (but resembled something closer to a turkey wattle) was slightly out-of-date to say the least. The new and improved gryph featured a much more proportionate head and was a more balanced mash-up of the lion and the eagle. Though an improvement, the 95 gryph (pictured here) has since been replaced by the most recent and even better looking gryph, who now dons the number 00 on his gryphon jersey everywhere he goes. rock on gryph.

make your own pincushion
Beth Purdon-mclellan
Regular crafters know, when buying your self a sewing kit, chances are the pincushion will be in the shape of a tomato. Occasionally, you may get a strawberry attached for good measure. Pincushions are usually made of wool that removes any rust build up on your pins. Most pins these days are made up of other metals besides iron, so pincushions serve the purpose of keeping your pins in one place. Although the tomato shape is certainly a classic, this craft will be a break in tradition. you will need: Tuna can Vinegar/baking soda Hot glue gun 1 piece of felt Tissues or cotton balls Decorative paper or fabric how to make it: Peel off the label of your tuna can and make sure you give both the outside and the inside a good scrub. As a precautionary measure,

scrub with vinegar and a little bit of baking soda to remove any residue. Mark the height of the tuna can on your paper or fabric. Cut a long strip that will cover the entire outside and secure with a drop of glue. Cut a circle out of your piece of felt that is approximately twice the
size of the tuna can. Begin to glue it to the inside of the can, pleating the felt as you go. When you have gone almost all the way around, make sure you leave an inch or two open. Use this gap to stuff your pincushion with either tissues or cotton balls. When youre finished, simply tuck the felt inside the can.

have access to protection and appropriate medical support) is important, but it also takes an acceptance of the wide variety of sexual activities and interests that individuals have. Its about being open-minded to different sexual practices, embracing sexual diversity, and supporting the rights of consenting adults. What do you think of when you hear that someone gains sexual pleasure from being tied up and flogged? In the media, Ive heard a lot of negative responses. That its sick, that its misogynistic, that no one would ever actually enjoy that, or that its abusive. But lets deconstruct this for a minute. Can you imagine the kind of trust that has to exist between a couple in order for one to be willing to hand over the power to the other? Or the kind of understanding that has to exist between a couple to be able to communicate such a desire to their partner? Instead of judging this on the surface, maybe we should recognize that couples engaging in this kind of play have incredibly trusting and open relationships something to strive for, not to shun. There are certain people in your life who you should hold to a high standard when it comes to sex positivity. Your doctor, for example, is an important one. You need to make sure that youre able to communicate what kind of activities you engage in (and with how many partners and of what gender) in order for your doctor to be able to accurately assess what screening or health care might be appropriate for you. (As a sidenote, if your doctor tries to moralize or impose their sexual values on you, its time to find a new doctor. You need to be able to communicate openly and honestly with them). Personally, I also think having a sex-positive friend who you can talk things over with without feeling judged is important (it doesnt have to be a tell-all expose over Saturday brunch like Sex and the City!).

Can you imagine the kind of trust that has to exist between a couple in order for one to be willing to hand over the power to the other? Or the kind of understanding that has to exist between a couple to be able to communicate such a desire to their partner?
Most importantly though, your sexual partner should be sex positive. Sure, telling them that youre interested in dressing as squirrels and having sex outside doesnt mean that they necessarily have to agree to do it, but they shouldnt make you feel bad for your desires or fantasies. And similarly, if your partner surprises you with a kink, dont dismiss them or make them feel bad for their interest. Respect their desires, and have an honest conversation about how that interest might be able to fit into your sexual repertoire. Being sex positive doesnt mean that you have to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe. Instead, it means respecting the interests of those around you and empowering consenting adults to explore their interests.

He left the session with more questions than answers, a good sign that he would come to realize later on. He was surprised by the reactions of his closest school friends and his parents. Steve said his friends came down hard on him for being ultra-materialistic. He agreed that money does not mean everything, but for Steve money was equally important as finding a career that would be fulfilling. He pointed out that he had a different perspective on work as he had been paying his parents room and board since he was 16, whereas his friends parents had given them most of what they needed. He knew how hard it was to make a good living and he wanted to have a reasonable level of security. He did not want to worry about money, like he had been doing for so long. Eventually he wanted a great career that would pay him $80,000 to $100,000 a year. One of his friends told him he should not be so greedy. His parents said he should stick with engineering.

Meyers Briggs test and how it can help point you in the right direction
wayne Greenway
Have you ever wondered what to do next in your life? Have you ever felt that the people in your closest circles are pulling you in opposite directions? Steve is in this exact situation. Less than 18 months ago, while working to save his money to go to university, his path was clear to him. Engineering was his ambition. Now, he has almost finished his first year but has realized that engineering is not for him. He thought it was the right program because he had done well in sciences in high school. After first semester, he discovered that he enjoyed dealing with people topics more than he did the sciences. Fortunately, Steves marks are high enough to be able to switch programs, but his question now is where am I headed? To get some help, he consulted a career development professional, who suggested he take the Myers Brigg Test. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) assessment is a psychometric questionnaire designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. It is frequently used in combination with other tests to help people identify their career interests. In the MBTI Manual, Jean Kummerow states, According to type theory, MBTI Types would be distributed in occupations consistent with the characteristics of the work environments of those occupations. Occupations may both require and reward specific ways of perceiving information and making decisions on that information; thus different types would be expected to be attracted to different occupations. Steve said that in reviewing his results, his advisor moved to the section that gives possible career paths. His results indicated that his preferences fit with a variety of careers some of which include nursing, teaching, administrators, child care, family practice physician, speech pathologist, clergy, office manager, counselor/social Work, bookkeeper/ accountant, administrative assistant etc. It seemed like none of the careers fit with either Steves interests or his values. Accounting was out. It was far too much like engineering. Steve also eliminated all the professions that had to do with health care because the whole idea of hospitals turned him off. I like the blood and guts on television but not in real life, he said. Social work and teaching

chemistry quizzes, help rooms and not getting the most bang for your tuition buck
carleiGh cathcart
If the phrase you get what you pay for is true, then apparently my tuition fees include unhelpful help rooms, memory-based application exam questions (oxymoron alert!), and useless online laboratories. Before I continue, let me make it clear that I am not trying to badmouth the University of Guelph. In fact, I am very happy that I chose Guelph for my post-secondary education, and truly think attending this school is one of the best choices I have ever made. That being said, I do, of course, have some grievances. My first issue is with the format and content of exams. It frustrates me that our instructors emphasize understanding and application, yet structure exams to focus heavily on memory-based information. My chemistry midterm, for example, provided no formula sheet despite more than 20 (I counted) necessary equations. It is highly doubtful that professional chemists sit in their laboratories thinking to themselves, was that a minus sign in the equation, or a plus sign? I think it was a plus. Next thing you know: boom, explosion. Real scientists interpret and apply the knowledge they have acquired; they dont memorize to the best of their ability and then cross their fingers, hoping they used the correct information. Also irking me in my chemistry courses have been the online laboratories, or dry labs. For those who are science students, you will be familiar with the components of the first-year chemistry curriculum. The weekly online homework assignments, known as Sapling, are very useful due to their interactive nature. If a student is struggling with the answer to a particular question, the program offers hints, explanations, and tutorials. These applications contribute to the learning process and provide academic assistance where in-person aid is otherwise lacking. The dry labs, however, are virtual experiments where one tediously follows an animation, without actually being aware of any new information they should be gathering. After the time-consuming task of finishing the lab, students are to complete an online marking module, usually worth and drop-in centres, only to find only a few points.

If phone calls claiming a voters polling station is closing early can misdirect an estimated 150 to 200 voters to the wrong polling station (effectively disrupting that station and causing electors that should be voting there to leave and rip up their voter identification cards) we really need to reconsider if reliance on a system that depends solely on the accessibility of physical polling stations is justified or even rational.

fire away: diminishing democracy at every level
stePhanie rennie
Tis the season for the campus to be flooded with colourful buttons and posters promoting candidates during the annual CSA election. From Feb. 27 until Mar. 2, candidates are busy campaigning to win students votes. During the latter half of the week between Feb. 29 and Mar. 2 students are responsible for voting for their favourite candidates through their gryphmail. Although much enthusiasm materializes on the second floor of the University Centre during campaign and voting week, it is obvious that the energy fades throughout the rest of campus. It has become increasingly evident that many students did not actively participate in the CSA byelections in the fall, nor the CSA elections last spring. During the byelections in October, much anxiety circulated around the Central Student Association as the conclusion of the voting period became closer and the student vote was failing to meet quorum until the bitter end.
