c om sports & HealtH Gryphons beat Queens in dramatic comeback

Guelphs 30 unanswered points eliminate a 25-point deficit
chriS mller
Sometimes in the world of sport, the unexpected happens. Often its a lucky bounce that determines the outcome of a game. But to attribute the Gryphons 33-28 victory to luck would be foolish and rob the teams display of perseverance in the face of conflict. Down 28-3 with 6:27 left to play in the second quarter, the Gryphons, like theyve done all season, shocked the OUA. The Gryphons did not allow Queens to score for the remainder of the game, and effectively cemented themselves as the leagues most exciting team. With only 2:35 remaining in the second, the spark that lit a fire under the Gryphons came in the form of a blocked punt deep in Queens territory. Ten seconds later, Rob Farquharson scored the first Gryphon touchdown of the day, making the score 28-10. Queens quickly went two-andout, and Guelph got the ball back with under two minutes to play. On the arm and leg of Jazz Lindsey, the Gryphons would post their second major of the day. Julian Tropeas extra point made the score 28-17. The colossal collapse of Queens continued into the second half, as game operated against Queens. We knew that [the defense] was playing well, we were shutting them down, said Millar. [The turnovers] give our offense great field position, when we turn those turnovers into points, then its going to be beneficial to the whole team, Millar said. Quarterback Jazz Lindsey echoes Millars sentiments. I think we had a really complete game. Yeah, we made mistakes here and there, and youre going to have that, but special teams stepped up and our defense was great; they drove [the offense] to step up and finish the game with a win, said Lindsey. What this win meant to us was huge, even for our coaches, theyre really happy and proud of us, and were proud of ourselves, Lindsey said. The Gryphons, now 6-1, prepare to take on the 2-5 York Lions on Oct. 20. The game will have no playoff implications, as the Gryphons have already secured a first round bye and the home semifinal game on Nov. 3., but the game is still being taken seriously by the team. We take every game we go into seriously; you cant underestimate anyone, said Millar. It takes a resilient bunch to look at a scoreboard tilting heavily in the oppositions favour, and continue to press on. If the last few games of the season are any indication, Guelphs resiliency, and not their luck, will drive them deep into the OUA playoffs and their pursuit of the elusive Yates Cup.

Erica Bains goal in the 90th minute lifted the Gryphons to a win over the Marauders.

In their final home game of the regular season, the Guelph Gryphons womens soccer team took on the McMaster Marauders at the Gryphons Soccer Complex on Oct. 13 in what may be their most exciting game of the year. After 90 minutes in which both the Gryphons and the Marauders displayed their defensive prowess, it was the Gryphons who were able to end the stalemate in penalty time. Fourth-year striker Erica Bain was able to secure the victory for the Gryphons after Courtney Whitesides outside shot rebounded off the crossbar, leaving Bain alone in front of the net to bury the game winning goal. However, it was the Gryphonss defence that put them in position to win the game, preventing the Marauders from getting many significant scoring chances, backed by a strong performance from first-year goaltender Alexandra King, who was able to deny the Marauders when they were able to get chances on the Guelph net. But, it was a strong team effort that lead the Gryphons to victory according to King. Alex Harriss and Jennifer Dunn played well down the middle and obviously Erica [Bain] with a great goal and Courtney [Whiteside] with a great cross came up huge, said King. We really controlled the game well, we played the ball well. We controlled it on the ground well, we played it around them, and I think it really helped us get ahead of them. The win was an important one for the Gryphons, who sit fifth in the OUA West. The Gryphons improve their record to 6-3-4, and remain in striking distance of the top teams in the conference with three games remaining in the season. With two of their remaining three games being against two of the bottom teams in the conference in Brock and Waterloo, the Gryphons are poised to enter the playoffs on a high note. However,

the Gryphons will also face a tough opponent in the Laurier Golden Hawks who sit at the top of the OUA West with a 10-2-2 record. With their three crucial games on the horizon, the Gryphons will look to continue improving as they prepare for their march into the OUA playoffs. I think we need to improve on our aerial play, said King. We need to focus on getting up on the ball at half. The Gryphons hit the field next on Oct. 17 when Guelph will take on the Brock University Badgers, who at 1-12 sit last place in the OUA West.

Gryphonss two weekend meets showcased potential of the squad moving forward
chriS mller
The Gryphons hosted the annual OUA Sprint Invitational on Oct. 13 at the W.F. Mitchell Athletic Centre. The event served as an early season opportunity for swimmers and coaches to evaluate their off-season progress. The intensive nature of the sprint event required swimmers that normally only swim two or three heats to participate in 12 or 13, a workload that put a lot of physical stress on the swimmers. Despite the difficulty, Guelphs young squad performed magnificently winning five individual races by the meets conclusion. The victories come amongst some of the OUAs elite competition, including the perennially strong McMaster team. Over half [our] team are rookies, and some did phenomenally well, said Coach Don Burton. Burton credits his young team in stepping up to the challenge this early in the season, despite only having begun their school-year training

six weeks ago. The event is all about getting as much experience as we can; you go race, then you come back and analyze it to see if you can get better, said Burton. The teams endurance was tested the very next day as Brock hosted an early season meet on Oct. 14. Guelph continued to perform well, having a winner in 21 of 24 events. Notable events included the womens 400m freestyle in which Guelph teammates Stephanie Papadedes and Erica Pate finished first and second, nine seconds ahead of the third place finisher from Brock. Pate would finish the day by winning the 200m freestyle and several 100m-sprint events. Rookie John Carrol won a highly contested 100m-butterfly event by a quarter of a second, and dominated the 200m-butterfly winning by nine seconds. The youth movement for the Gryphons has led to some early

season success, but it wont stop there. Outside the coachs office is a running timer counting down to the next summer Olympic games, to be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Several swimmers on the team are well underway in their 11-month training regiment as they prepare to represent Canada at the Olympic games. A small reminder of that desire can be found hanging from the ceiling of the teams facility in the W.F. Mitchell Athletic Centre. High above the pool in the rafters hangs the Brazilian flag a near constant reminder of the dedication required to reach the sports highest level. Coach Burton notes that many opposing teams are overwhelmed by the number of motivational tools the team uses, including the Olympic countdown and the inspirational messages on the walls around the pool. It points to the intensity of the swimmers and coaches, and their desire to constantly improve as the hallmarks of an ideology thats sure to motivate the club in their pursuit of OUA, CIS, and Olympic glory.

T h e wo m e n s r u g by t e a m continued their streak of unblemished victories on Oct. 13. Led by Caitlin Beaton and Britt Benn, the Gryphons commanded the Badgers throughout the early afternoon matchup. The cold and wet afternoon could not slow the red-hot Gryphon offense down as they posted a final score of 109-0 in the OUA quarterfinal played at Varsity Field on the Guelph campus. Fifth-year lock Caitlin Beaton explains that the overwhelming final score doesnt allow the Gryphons to think too highly of themselves. It may seem that because we are winning by such large margins that we are way ahead, but each game has highlighted areas that we need to work on, said Beaton. We have yet to reach our full potential. That potential should be tested in the coming weeks, when the remainder of the OUA playoffs will play out. The provincial tournament is a generally successful one for season ends the day after the CIS championship. We know that every game left in our season counts towards getting us to our final goal of a repeat at the CIS national championship, said Beaton. The aggressive and opportunistic approach of the team has become emblematic of their success, and if history is any indication, this year should finish much the same way as the last. After all, if it isnt broke, why fix it? No matter who we are playing, we always want to go out and play our game. You never want to change your strategy to suit the other team, said Beaton. We play so that other teams must change to us. The Gryphons will spend the remainder of this week preparing for the Oct. 20 semifinal matchup where Guelph will play host to the McMaster Marauders at 1:00 p.m. McMaster looks to translate their 4-2 regular season record, and the recent momentum from their 43-14 victory over York in the quarterfinal into some late-season heroics against the perennially dominant Gryphon squad.

Gryph baseball loses oUa semis

Despite semis loss, future keeps getting brighter for new era of Guelph baseball
anDrew Donovan
The University of Guelph baseball team neednt hang their heads after their showing at the OUA playoffs in St. Catherines, Ont. this past weekend where the team came up short in a tough semifinal loss versus rival Brock Badgers. This past season has been an unexpected journey for the quiet underdog Gryphons. They surprised the Ontario University baseball circuit with an astonishing second place regular season finish to the season. Their playoff berth was on the back of the long ball and stellar starting pitching, a trend that continued into the playoffs but fell short in the end. The playoffs began Friday evening with Guelph playing in an entertaining matchup versus the Western Mustangs. As per usual, the result of this game didnt disappoint. Guelph escaped with a 1-0 win in what was a herculean pitching performance by the Gryphons ace Lucas Borges. After ending the season with a 4-1 record and a 1.58 ERA, Borges picked up where he left off and stunned Mustang hitters all night. Borges managed to rake in 12 strikeouts good enough for most in the tournament that weekend through 9 innings while only letting up 6 hits in a complete game shutout. Guelphs only run came on an error by the Mustangs third baseman, which turned out to be the only run of the game and all Guelph needed. Errors were a common occurrence all weekend for the Gryphons; they were an aid and a detriment all at the same time. This was no truer than in Guelphs second game versus defending OUA champs, the Toronto Varsity Blues. Guelph went into the top of the ninth inning up by one run. Up until this point the Gryphons were playing the Varsity Blues tough and their bats were finally coming to life. Tournament batting average leader, Sean Molony (.667), went 3-5 with two runs, Marc Mongillo went 1-4 with one run and two RBIs and Ryan Thompson also went 1-4 while plating two runs. Regrettably the errors that have plagued Guelph all season struck once more. In the top of the ninth, Guelph managed two errors that led to Toronto scoring two unearned runs to win the game. This put Guelph in a do-or-die matchup with the Brock Badgers. Unfortunately for the Gryphons the affair was rather one sided with the Badgers winning 11-4 in a game that had to be finished on Sunday due to a rainout. Brook Coatsworth started the game for the Gryphons and surrendered seven earned runs on eight hits in 4.1 innings of work. And as the OUA has been so accustomed to this season, the tournament wouldnt have been complete without a Justin Interisano homerun. His late game blast came in the bottom of the ninth inning when he sent a rocket over the fence, bringing the 62 Juniors total jacks this year to a league leading nine. Brock, with one loss already in the double knockout tournament, went on to face the undefeated Varsity Blues in the finals. The Badgers won the first tilt 4-2 sending the tournament into a final, winnertake-all bout. The Toronto Varsity Blues ended up winning that game 4-0 and got the honour of being crowned back-to-back OUA champions. The Badgers uncharacteristically stranded seven runners on base in another OUA final loss for their traditionally powerhouse baseball team. The Gryphons felt they could win this tournament; they certainly had the talent and the drive but it wasnt in the cards this time around. The state of Gryphons baseball headed by head coach and Guelph grad, Matt Griffin, is in a promising position going into the coming seasons. Recruitment has been solid and there is a baseball spirit in Guelph thats making this university a yearly contender. The players believe in the system, have fun playing, and expect results on the field. Its going to be a long offseason but baseball fans and Gryphon supporters can relish that this program stands to be contenders for years to come.

The neverending battle

Published in The Ontarion on Sept. 12, 1978. The Western-Guelph rivalry has been ongoing for a long time now, and becomes especially heated during football season. A little friendly competition is almost always healthy for a team, but the rivalry with Western takes it to a whole other level. Ultimately, what it boils down to however, is how we play on the field. The Gryphons 1978 football season began with a thumping loss to our nemeses, the

Now, 34 years later the Gryphons have claimed one of the top spots, dominating in their game against Western and moving into the CIS top ten. Though they are currently ranked seventh, the Gryphons once again show the potential to take home a national title. The Gryphons have not been ranked this high since 1997, and have not won the Vanier Cup since 1984.

track with their search strategy, but for many clients, the accountability factor helps them to stay on track and as a result they are seldom stuck in their search. There are times when workouts do not seem to be making a difference. Career seekers also go through periods where they feel they want to give up. In both situations, it is the professionals role to figure out how to keep the client motivated to reach their goals. Even with the right goals, the right techniques are needed for each move of a work out and there is also a correct strategy for each stage of the career job search process. In both cases, you can find them out yourself. It just takes longer because it involves analyzing your failures to figure out how to correct your form. In career job search, every month of failure means lost wages. Even for someone starting their career, it means about $3000 or more of lost earnings, for every month they spend searching instead of working. Working one to one with a career development professional can be costly, but if you can cut several weeks off a typical fourto-six month search, it may be to your advantage to receive the right kind help. Finding the correct help may be more difficult than it seems. Career development professionals offer this service under different titles, in a field that is largely unregulated. The most common titles are career counsellors, career advisors, career guides, career mentors and career coaches. Matt M. Starcevich, CEO of Center For Coaching & Mentoring, Inc. helps to clarify the difference between a mentor and a coach.

Like a lung spot on an x-ray, there exist certain words in my lexicon that I would rather not know about. Words like social networking, collateral casualties, Mitt Romney, and progress. All buzz words that define, not the thing they are meant to, but rather an entire stream of philosophy behind them. One such phrase I find particularly discomforting is politically correct. These tiny two words dictate too much protocol in all things we do. From politics, to media, from welfare to entertainment, the tint of PC-ness stinks up all that could be fantastic. And why has the PC stain infected everything we create? Simply, not to offend. And here is where we meet the wizard behind the curtain political correctness is a way to usurp the possibility of offending some people. Under the guise of the possibility of offending someone, stagnation waters of politically correct begins to set in. A stagnation sensory chambers we all exist geared to help those who are within.

Ive done it again. Ive given in, without even realizing. I sit down at my computer and without being fully conscious of this choice, I log into Facebook. My email and password are punched in, almost like a reflex. Despite my loathing, cynicism and frustration towards this unnecessary distraction, it has become a daily habit of mine a part of my daily routine that often goes unnoticed. I open my laptop and am instantly connected to the weird world of the Internet, existing alongside ours. Referencing reality yet existing outside of it, just beyond tangible reach, like a new dimension. Online space is so vast yet compressed, and easily accessible on a number of screens.

Give wind a chance

Kiera vanDeborne
In Southern Ontario, the anti-wind movement has become quite aggressive. I have first-hand experience of this hate-on-all-things-wind, as turbines are being built by my grandfathers cottage and home on the lakeshore (and let me tell you, he is not happy). At family gatherings my grandpa will go off about the health issues, noise, and the unattractiveness of these wind turbines by residential areas. Seeing as he feels so strongly about these green energy initiatives, I decided to look into the issue a little further. As I reviewed both sides of the wind debate, I found most evidence leans towards wind as a sustainable form of energy. There are plenty of common anti-wind myths, although the following are some of the most common: 1) Wind farms are loud. False. In fact, strict guidelines on wind turbines ensure that the noise is at a suitable level for residential areas. On a decibels chart, wind turbines fall around 50 (more than a bedroom but less than an office). 2) Wind farms are dangerous to human health. False. Wind farms create no emissions, waste products, or harmful pollutants. Ontarios Chief Medical Officer of Health performed extensive reviews and concluded that there is no evidence to indicate that the low frequency sounds cause adverse health effects. 3) Wind energy is expensive. False. Ontarios Environmental Commissioner analyzed the average power bill and found that renewable energy accounts for only 0.2 cents of the average 13 cent/kWh a household pays for electricity. As for those concerned with the looks of the wind turbinestake a look at the Alberta oil sands and tell me they look better. Of course those who live near these new wind farms will have concerns with the project, but these misconceptions need to be addressed. So please, give wind a chance!

put NHl lockout lower on list of priorities

Let me get this straight. Teachers are losing bargaining rights, the province is billions of dollars in debt, several government programs are being cut... and the players of the NHL have the audacity to expect our sympathy for their measly six- and seven-figure paycheques? Maybe its just me, but that is absolutely ridiculous. The one good thing that can be gained from this lockout is the opportunity to pay closer attention to where our priorities lie. I get it: the NHL serves as a source of entertainment as a large franchise within the spectator sporting industry that serves up some much needed fun and teamspirit.

same time, boys are cultured into thinking that sexual conquest is a masculinity-validating experience. Emphasizing the systemic aspects of the cultures faced by the boys and girls involved in Todds story neither positions boys as powerless byproducts of their environments or girls as helpless victims that are doomed should cultures (be they of bullying, sexual assault, or systemic oppression in general) prevail; it creates awareness and avenues for the empowerment of otherwise systemically battered survivors. By failing to focus on the systemic situations involved in Todds story, popular and respected media outlets have also failed to highlight to their readerships the necessity to spread awareness of systemic influences. We need to do the opposite. We need to realize that Amanda Todd wasnt bullied; she was systemically oppressed. Before then, the Amanda Todds of the world will never rest in peace.

Bullying, no matter how you put it, is wrong, but so is ending the conversation there. Or there. Amanda Todds tragic suicide story has been granted extensive media coverage, prompting several editorials from popularly accessed news sources to speak out about the necessity for politicians, schools, parents, and others in positions of influence and power, educate themselves, and spread awareness about the negative effects and cultures of bullying. Many have taken specific note of the practices changing form, referring to what happened to Todd as a situation of cyberbullying, citing the role online social media platforms played in the harassment and abuse of the teen. The opinions expressed in such articles are well intended, but they are also relatively ineffective; they fall short of doing so much more than they could. Bullying and the culture that surrounds it is wrong, but the

RE: Inordinate Ordnance (Oct. 11 2012) Dear Mr. Carr, marginalized. But that does not mean that I, nor others like me, should give up trying to understand or give up trying to be compassionate. We are in a position of privilege over others for simply being who we are. I urge you to consider what it means to be in a position of privilege (assuming you are abled, do not identify as LGBTQ or are otherwise marginalized). In your article you suggest that, to some, marginalization would also be being treated better because of the way [you] were born. This is not marginalization; this is the fear of losing power of not being able to ride the privilege wave. Who is your audience; who is we when you ask, Are we being too politically correct? If we is white heterosexual males than this is problematic. I know these topics are not easy to face; they are heavy, difficult and scary. But I will tell you this, we must not fall into analysis paralysis the CSAs policies are working to make the world a better place. Lets get coffee sometime. We can do this together lets discuss this.
