Tis the Season Once AgainCommentary from
Chris Lawrence
Tis the season once
again. Not THAT season
again, but an important
one nonetheless. This is
the time of year when we
make the decisions that
we have to live with, of-
cially, for 365 days. In
reality, however, the deci-
sions to be made on Febru-
ary 11th and 12th are ones
that should affect CBU fora long time to come.
We have an election
this year. Unlike previous
years, where its either a
yes/no vote or there is only
one good candidate, this
year we have three tick-
ets to choose from. Yes,
thats right, we actually
have three. Up until the
time of this publication,however, there only seem
to be two tickets campaign-
ing. I have not met with or
discussed policy with the
third team so they will go
relatively unmentioned in
this opinion.
Up on the block this
year, for your discretion,
are the teams of Ricky and
Francis, and Suzanne andAdrianne.
Both of these teams
seem to have a clear, com-
mitted outlook on how theStudents Union should
be executed from the time
they take ofce and there-
after. For the preparation
of this piece, I had asked
both teams to meet with
me, on their time, and al-
low me to ask them a few
questions about their poli-
cy and their visions.
Well start off with the
similarities. Both teamsare experienced, capable,
and would make a good
choice (lets get that out of
the way). Both teams have
a strong work ethic and a
fairly precise idea of what
they want to do with their
time as executives. They
both have good working
relationships between the
President/Vice-presidentbefore entering the race.
The dynamics between the
Presidential candidate and
their VP are similar, in
that the President is the
negotiator and policy mak-
er, while the VP leans more
towards personal commu-
nication and relations, and
both teams want nothing
but the best for CBU stu-dents.
This is where things
begin to differ, however.
Granted, some of their plat-forms are similar. Both
agree that updates need to
be made to current union
communication systems,
and that more advocacy
and lobbying must take
place. But their ideas on
achieving these goals are a
bit different.
The Ricky/Francis
ticket seems to be a more
in the now campaign.Everything they seem to
be shooting for would affect
students who will be voting
for them. Their main con-
cern is making the 2009-
2010 years experience as
good as they possibly can. I
get the impression, howev-
er, that the Suzanne/Adri-
anne ticket wants its main
priority to be lobbying tox problems that will affect
students now and in the
years to come. To me, the
choice seems to be between
the union we currently
have, with added lobbying
and a union of lobbyists
with community events
taking second place.
Other than this pri-
oritizing, the intent of bothgroups is the same. Make
the union better. It is up
to you, the voter, to decide
on whose personality youlike more, who you nd
more accessible. You have
to decide who you think
will be more approachable
to you, the student. Both
teams will spend many
long nights working for
you, the student. You have
to decide whether you want
them to spend that night
preparing rally speeches,
tracking down contacts andnetworking, organizing a
big concert, or working on
programs that will better
dene and benet our uni-
versity.
Unfortunately, there
are more aspects of this
than I can possibly cover
with one article. It is up to
you, the voter, to decide who
you like more for president.Both teams are suited, but
you have to have your say
to pick the face you want
to put on our hard-working
union.

A Message from
Suzanne and Adri-
anne
We are excited to
put our names forward
for candidacy for Stu-
dents Union executive,
and to offer a strong
voice of change and new
leadership on our cam-
pus. We have a mix ofthe experience needed,
as well as the fresh in-
sights and new ideas,
to advocate strongly
for the interests of the
entire student body.
We need a stronger
and more effective Stu-
dents Union. Rather
than the status quo,we need to enhance the
unions lobbying and
activism on behalf of
the interests of all stu-
dents on our campus,
improve the services
the Students Union
provides, and work
with the administra-
tion and our university
faculty and staff to cre-
ate a student-friendly
institution.
Our experiences in
various types of cam-
pus-based as well as
community activism
and advocacy have
taught us valuable les-sons. It is a steep uphill
climb to secure even
the smallest of victo-
ries. One of the most
important lessons that
we have learned in re-
cent years is that there
is strength in numbers,
and that when students
are united, people in
positions of power haveno choice but to listen.
The current three-
year provincial gov-
ernment agreement to
freeze tuitions is an
immediate example of
gains that can be made
by unity and solidarity
on our campus, as wellas with the broader
students movement
throughout the prov-
ince. Student activ-
ists across Nova Sco-
tia mobilized in large
numbers and engaged
in concerted lobbying
campaigns to win the
current tuition freeze.We are commit-
ted to working towards
extending that freeze
and going beyond it
to winning gradual
tuition reductions and
improvements in pro-
vincial government
funding for the Uni-
versity of Cape Breton.
Tremendous amounts
of student debt are
an issue we hear from
students about daily,
and we need a Stu-
dents Union Executive
which is committed to
working now on strate-
gies to reduce studentdebt loads, includ-
ing increasing federal
government transfer
payments as well as
provincial government
contributions.
Its the job of the
Students Union work
with the Administra-
tion of CBU to achieve
a student-centered ap-proach to running this
institution. Its also
our job to remind our
elected ofcials at all
levels of government
that investing in stu-
dents and education
improves our society,
and that valuing edu-cation means making
our university fully ac-
Suzanne and Adrianne Want Your Votes
The Caper TimesPage 4 /// Students Union Elections 2009
cessible. But we cant
depend on governmentto see the value in edu-
cation, we have to ac-
tively lobby for it, orga-
nize people in support
of it, and when needed,
actively ght on stu-
dents behalf for it.
We all pay into the
Students Union bud-get through our fees,
and one of the most im-
portant things we do as
fellow union members
is support each other
through our unions
services and program-
ming. Our platform
(which is accessible on
our website at www.
unitedcbu.ca) con-
tains ideas and com-mitments that would
reinforce and improve
such services as tu-
toring and emergency
bursaries. The tutor-
ing program provides
much-needed services
to members of our cam-
pus community and animportant area of em-
ployment and income
for students on the
campus. Improved ac-
cessibility, a competi-
tive salary for tutors,
and simple renovations
to the tutoring room
would make this im-
portant program evenmore successful.
Communicat ion
between the Students
Union leadership and
the rest of the student
body is crucial, which
is why it is a key plank
in our platform. No one
has legitimacy to speak
on behalf of students
if no attempt, or only
weak and half-hearted
attempts, are made to
engage with and listen
to student concerns, or
to let them know what
is going on. An open
door policy is useless
if you dont know wherethat door is, or if you
dont feel comfortable
approaching an ofce
space that often seems
like a clique and social
club. We commit to
reach out and engage
with the entire student
body, including estab-
lishing a booth in the
cafeteria to make infor-mation and resources
more accessible and to
do our part to meet stu-
dents in a more physi-
cally accessible place
and to actively solicit
a breadth of opinions
from throughout the
campus community.A functional and ef-
fective Students Union
is not just a handful of
people sitting at desks
in ofces. The Union
is all of the students,
and its the duty of the
executive to make sure
all voices are heard. We
have heard from manyof the students on this
campus of the need for
change in leadership,
and for a leadership
that will be passionate
and committed to act-
ing on behalf of all stu-
dents interests.
When you vote for
usSuzanne and Adri-
anneyou are voting
for a team that will
work passionately in
solidarity with you, not
hide from you in our of-
ces. You will be vot-
ing for a team that is
committed to enhanc-
ing communications,improving infrastruc-
ture, and making ad-
vocacy a top priority.
You will be voting for
signicant change, not
an ineffective status
quo.

Experience Matters
A Message from
Ricky and Francis
Hi Everyone! We
are very proud to intro-
duce our team to YOU,
the students. As the
polling dates approach,
we will be campaigning
throughout the school.
Our focus right now is
to try to get to know asmany students as possi-
ble and get their opinions
and suggestions on what
they may like to see from
their Students Union in
the upcoming 2009-2010
year. Leading up to this
election, we assembled
our campaign team with
fteen very motivated
and driven students.
They have been there ev-
ery step of the way and
have really gone above
and beyond anything we
could have asked from
them. We are looking
forward to the days to
come and wish all candi-
dates the best of luck!
Ricky is a local stu-dent from Glace Bay. He
is in his 4th year, nish-
ing up an Arts degree,
concentrating in psy-
chology, and beginning
his BBA. Ricky is a big
fan of the local sport and
music scenes. He has
enjoyed being a volun-
teer in the union throughShinerama, Love Africa
week, and Frosh Week to
name a few. After spend-
ing a year keeping stats
for the Capers varsity
sports teams, organizing
intramurals for Cam-
pus life, and becoming
a dedicated volunteer in
the Students Union, he
decided to he had some-
thing more to give toour school. Along with
Matt Stewart, the cur-
rent President of the SU,
Ricky ran for Vice Presi-
dent-Academic. This has
been a great learning
experience and we feel
more than condent that
Ricky is ready to lead the
students of our school tonew heights. Being Vice
President this year has
really been an incred-
ible experience; howev-
er, there is more that he
feels he would like to ac-
complish. As President,
Ricky is ready, willing,
and able to give the stu-
dents of this university,
the effort and determina-
tion that they deserve.
Francis is an Inter-
national student all the
way from Zimbabwe. He
came to Canada to at-
tend CBU and has never
turned back. He is in his
4th year of a Business
degree with a concentra-
tion in marketing buthas decided to return to
broaden his area of study
to nance. Francis is al-
ways keeping busy. As
a Residence Director in
06-07, he helped provide
students on residence
with a safe and enjoy-
able place to live. In
2007, Francis decidedhe wanted more respon-
sibility and ran for Vice
President of the Interna-
tional Students Society.
This was a great year for
the society and Francis
is still a big part of the
society today. He is now
the Assistant Manager
Ricky McCarthy and Francis Mvere 2009-2010of Caper Convenience
and is a proud father of
his daughter Lindsey.He now feels he wants
to make one last mark
and provide students
with a VP Academic it
deserves.
There are many is-
sues facing the Students
Union and our university.
Together we have come
up with a solid platformthat has several attain-
able goals. We will lobby
on tuition, with or with-out ANSSA, depending
on the results of the Ref-
erendum in March. We
personally believe it is in
our students best inter-
est to join this group as
they represent an over-
whelming majority of
the post secondary stu-
dent population in our
province and effectively
lobby the Provincial
Government. We will
also question the Admin-
istration of our school on
parking issues, wireless
internet, and the lack of
internships and CO-OP
programs in schools oth-
er than business. Not to
mention the possibility
of receiving credits forthese programs like they
have at other Nova Sco-
tia Universities.
Our team has had
numerous discussions
on where exactly priori-
ties should lie within the
CBUSU. We both feel
that our main purpose
as a Students Unionshould be to provide our
students with the best
possible experience while
attending this univer-
sity, whether it is ensur-
ing high-quality academ-
ics, organizing campus
events and concerts, or
providing students with
on-campus career expos
to aid in nding careers
both on and off the Is-
land. It also very impor-
tant that we remember
our campus is lled with
rst year students that
have yet to reach the age
of 19 and we will ensure
that it will be a priority
to increase the amount
of events and activitiesfor all of these students.
There are always
those things that can be
done quick and smoothly,
but there are also those
that may take some
time. We refuse to make
false promises and will
work diligently to ensure
we carry out as many ofour campaign ideas as
possible. Things we are
going to work incredibly
hard at, but may take
some time, are the idea
of a healthy selection
in Caper Convenience,
developing an online fo-
rum, and continuing the
increase in trafc on the
CBUSU website. Tradi-
tion is something we feelis extremely important
for a university campus
and improves the overall
atmosphere of the stu-
dent population. Over
the past few years, we
have noticed the cam-
pus tradition here grow
dramatically. Student
crowds at Capers Ath-letics games have in-
creased, volunteer fund-
raising has never raised
more money, and the
pride felt when wearing
a CBU ring is increasing
every year. This is why
we will do our best to
bring back this Universi-
tys Ring Ceremony, and
attempt to increase the
unity of our students.
Please remember,
our ideas do not just sit
in this all-encompassing
campaign platform. We
want your suggestions,
opinions, comments,
questions, and anything
else you can throw at us.
We have set up an emailaddress, rickyandfran-
cis_2009@hotmail .
com, and will be around
campus and visiting class
rooms for the next few
days. Feel free to email
anything that may be
on your mind or stop us
in the halls to question
us about our campaign.We look forward to this
election process and will
do our absolute best to
become your next Presi-
dent and Vice President
of the Cape Breton Uni-
versity Students Union.
Thank you all for your
time and your Vote!

Celluloid and Cynicism - TakenBy Kenny McClean
Its easy to sit back andpick apart bad movies. Its
a lot easier to gloat about
plot holes and poor acting
than it is to keep things
in balance. For every plot
hole you could drive a truck
through, Taken had a
scene or a line that made
up for it, until about half-
way through the movie,
when it became a brainless
action lm that would havesuited Steven Seagal in his
prime.
Well start with the
good, because itll be over
quickly. Liam Neeson is
not a bad actor. Every oth-
er person in Taken hams
it up like a high school pro-
duction of Hamlet, but Nee-
son at least put forward a
halfhearted attempt. Its agood thing, too, because he
and his wrinkles take up
the screen 95% of the time.
Neeson takes up most
of the screen time, and af-
ter the plot is taken care of
(about 20 minutes in), he
spends the remaining hour
and 10 minutes of the mov-
ie running people over and
hitting them in the throat.Thats all ne and good for
an action movie. The prob-
lem I have is thus: Liam
Neeson is 56 years old. He
is of retirement age and
showing it. Hes of the age
that he should be put out to
pasture, not playing secret
agent/white knight. There
is no way a man of his age
could run around France
kicking ass and takingnames in such an egregious
fashion, no matter what
kind of training he held.
Putting this aside,
Neeson does as best a job as
he could with the storyline
he was playing a part in. If
any middle aged man could
take on a Bulgarian gang
singlehandedly and win, I
am convinced it would be
Liam Neeson. I vote we
send him to end the con-ict in the Middle East: by
all appearances, hes bul-
letproof and some sort of
ninja.
The other problem I
had with Taken is that
none of the characters are
likeable. I was not able to
sympathize with the plight
of Maggie Grace as a kid-
napped rich white girl, nor
was I able to empathizewith Liam Neeson as the fa-
ther who refused to say no,
had his spoiled 17-year-old
daughter run off, and then
had to commit atrocities to
rescue her from her own idi-
ocy. Famke Janssens char-
acter is unlikeable at best,
and a shrill, bitter harpy at
worst. Perfectly content to
give Neeson the cold shoul-der at rst and then send
him to do the wet-work
when things go bad, her
character has no redeeming
features or qualities, much
like her acting job.
Acting and plot aside,
Taken owed quickly in
the grimy, washed out un-
derbelly of Paris, a world
that most denitely ex-ists. Theres more to Paris
than the Eiffel Tower and
the Louvre: poverty, cor-
ruption, and misery exist
everywhere, and Taken
took this to heart.
Director Pierre Morel
has assembled a cast of un-
likeable characters playing
out a preposterous plot line
ripped from a Tom Clancy
novel, without the slickproduction values of movies
such as The Hunt for Red
October. Nearly devoid of
merit and seemingly lack-
ing in any member of the
production crew who cared,
Taken is bound to be a
steal in the 2-for-$10 bin at
Wal-Mart by this time next
year.

Why high voter turn-
out at St. FX wont be
an annual occurrenceBy Danielle Webb
The Xaverian Weekly
(St. Francis Xavier Uni-
versity)
ANTIGONISH (CUP)
Were going to stick it
to St.FX, proclaimed an
ambitious University of
Ottawa Elections Bureau
radio host on his campussradio station last Monday
morning.
Theres plenty of
praise for the record-shat-
tering voter turnout for
last years student union
election at St. Francis
Xavier University in Anti-
gonish, N.S.
Conversations with
student journalists acrossthe country conrm it: Ev-
eryone is in awe of the 50
per cent turnout feat, and
their respective students
unions are scrambling to
beat it all of them fail-
ing.
For years, St. FX was
just like every other uni-
versity across Canada,
struggling to get students
to vote. Students unions
were accused of corrup-
tion, scandal, over-spend-
ing, self-indulgence, and
the list goes on. Partici-
pating in union elections
felt like trying to get the
big kids to let you play
ball. Disconnect was syn-
onymous with studentpolitics.
Last year, a strong,
competent and visionary
elections ofce, combined
with an engaging execu-
tive, managed to convince
almost every student that
their vote mattered and
that nobody was truly dis-
enfranchised from student
The failure of 50.4%politics.
Democracy was alive,
the gloves came off, andfor the rst time in stu-
dent union history, we
gave a damn.
But last years efforts
will all be in vain. Last
years enthusiasm and
engagement are virtually
non-existent.
Compare the number
of posters that campaigns
have raised across cam-pus. Compare the num-
ber of buttons, advertise-
ments, and discussions.
Compare the major issues
on every students lips.
How many people are even
aware of the election, let
alone whos running?
What about the sim-
ple fact that not a single
senate or senior classpresident candidate has
been announced? Or, that
the unions chief return-
ing ofcer resigned on
Tuesday?
On the heels of a
landmark campaign that
raised St. FXs prole
across the country, when
the eyes of student govern-
ments from coast-to-coast
are upon us we seem
destined to disappoint.
Last years vote
handed this years execu-
tive the condence of most
students on campus. All
they had to do was keep
relations on par, and who
could fault their work?
But things haventbeen on par, and union-
student communication,
or lack thereof, has been
the biggest factor.
Take Drive U for ex-
ample. This program that
offers safe transportation
home for students was one
of the better, more plausi-
ble ideas that came out of
last years election. It was
one of the rst promises
the new president and
vice-president followed
through on. But, its been
failing miserably because
students dont even know
it exists.This election is suf-
fering from that same lack
of publicity.
Ive seen two, count
em, two posters on 8.5 x
11 computer paper ad-
vising students on how
they can submit their
names for candidacy.
The Student Federa-
tion of the University of
Ottawa largely in its
efforts to beat St.FXs re-
cord put together such
an extensive recruitment
campaign this year that
they have ten candidatesrunning for board of gov-
ernors alone.
Now thats engage-
ment. Its the kind of en-
gagement we had last
year and its the kind of
engagement thats been
tossed out the window
this year.
Students need to
know you care about them,
even after youve been
elected. Unless something
drastic happens in the -
nal days of the campaign,
voter turnout will de-
crease dramatically, justlike old times.
If the University of
Ottawa wants a ght,
were ready to hand them
their victory. Our stu-
dents gave it 50.4 per cent
and the union hasnt been
able to even meet us half-
way.

By Brittany Harnum
Another day, another
drama. You might recog-
nize these words from Brit-
ney Spears song Piece of
Me, and Im going to be
brutally honest with you
(which may or may not be
a good thing). Those words
were how I felt when I was
assigned to write this ar-
ticle. There was nothing
against the Playhouse, the
editing staff, or my bossat the Caper Times; but
I just wondered what an-
other play could offer me?
(Editors Note: Brittany,
youre fred!) What if this
was just another play with
a depressing but warm
tone about families coming
together. Yet again, there
isnt anything wrong with
that; I was just unenthu-siastic because I believed
that it had nothing to offer
me.
Ive been writing
about the plays from the
Boardmore Playhouse for
about two years now and I
felt that there was nothing
left to surprise me. How
could I write a review or
commentary on something
that didnt offer anything
new? Another day, anoth-
er drama. Nothing new,
just the standard broken
family, three sisters, try-
ing to make amends before
their mother dies story. I
expected tears and heart-
ache, long over done, meta-
phorical monologues and
a bare stage. We have all
been there: a standard
play with a basic plot and
little left for the imagina-
tion. Its plays like thisthat the make you feel that
once you seen one, youve
seen them all...
I was, without a doubt,
most certainly WRONG!
Daniel McIvors play
Marion Bridge was more
then I ever expected, and
the actresses had a better
chemistry on stage then
I imagined. But what Ididnt expect was humour.
I must admit that the only
other play I read by Daniel
McIvor was In On It, and
I dont remember laugh-
ing through that. So like
a lot of us, I went into that
theatre one chilly opening
night thinking that one
McIvor play was just like
the other. A friend of mine
tells me never to assume
anything and I hate to ad-
mit that he was right (but
we wont tell him that).
The play is in the Mc-
Ivor fashion: a plot that
appears simple on the sur-
face, with as few characters
as possible, and a stage
furnished with only the
necessities to emphasize
a setting. The plot goes
something like this: three
estranged sisters who live
completely different lives(one an alcoholic struggling
actress, one a nun, and the
other the average teenage
girl) forced together to tend
to their dying mother in
the family home. Tempers
blaze as their worlds clash.
Emotion seeps from the
rst monologue by Agnes
played by Serena MacDon-
ald to the nal blackout.What made the play
was the chemistry between
the three women. At rst
I doubted whether they
would be able portray the
bond and convince the au-
dience (and me) that they
cared for each other. They
had to prove that there
was that relationship from
start to nish, through thescenes that they argued
and raged and the scenes
in which they were sympa-
thetic and supportive. The
family drama played out on
stage with little or no effort.
The anger and frustration
lled the stage and the ten-
derness brought tears to
the audiences eyes. Their
personal struggles of accep-
tance, understanding and
healing were felt through-
out the dark theatre. The
emotional rollercoaster
held the on-lookers in their
seats.
But as mentioned, I
never expected to laugh so
much. Perhaps it was the
simple family bickering
that everyone could relate
to or something more but
either way it was funny.
From Agness sarcasm,
or Theresas (Kerrianne
MacKenzie) innocent na-
ivety of modern world, to
Louises (Rachael Rossiter)
seemly oblivious nature to
anything outside her world,
it had me amused and en-
tertained. In fact I was still
talking about it in the days
that followed (to the annoy-
ance of my friends who hadto suffer through my enjoy-
ment through their only
breaks from class).
As I think about the
play now I realize that Im
happy to be wrong. My
faith in the theatre had
been restored. I guess its
kind of like a horror movie:
we all go knowing there is
going to be a ghost, an axemurderer who didnt get
enough love from his moth-
er, a shack in the woods,
a group of teenagers on
spring break, and a blonde
that always dies rst. But
we still see it because its
the unexpected that brings
us back. Im not compar-
ing Marion Bridge to a
grade B horror ick (itsso much better and worth
your money), all Im trying
to say is that its what we
dont expect that keeps our
faith and the seats full.

I guess I needed to nd
a reason to go again and to
write this article. After all,
two years of play reviews
can be kind of daunting.
Then it hits methe rea-
son, that is. And I cant
take credit for it because,
really, it was something
some one always said to
me.
Mike McPhee (Di-
rector of Marion Bridge)
has been a dear friend for
the last couple of yearsand used to be my drama
teacher. After I gradu-
ated, I tried to attend the
local plays his students
performed because, in case
you cant tell, I love the
theatre. And at the end of
every play he would nd
me and ask me the same
question, Did you like it?
and usually I did; that wasmy answer to him. Then
he would say, Good. Now
go tell your friends and
get them here. And that
would be it. It was the usu-
al McPhee way, encourag-
ing and to the point. It was
endearing in his own way.
But after all these years,
the words left an impres-
sion on me. So Ill try mybest and tell my friends.
Not promising that they
will all come but Ill try to
try. And thats really all a
person can do.

Caper Times Short Story: Lillian (Part II)By Leslie Yorke
Ready for a baby? Who
is able to answer that? Are
you the one supposed to de-
cide whether or not you are
capable and ready to han-
dle a child or is someone
else supposed to answer
that for you?
We are ready. The
clock ticked slower than
normal each day while we
waited for Thursday. The
day the miracle would hap-pen. We thought about
everything; seriously ev-
erything. We discussed
names, baby showers,
colors, room decorations,
godparents, elementary
schools, churches and even
what food we would feed
it. My girlfriend decided
she didnt want to breast
feed which is ne, but thekids going to end up with
eczema like me and its her
fault. We decided we would
feed the baby half organic
and half home made foods.
My mother in law made her
babies food and they loved
it. So that was decided.
Money was put away spe-
cically for the baby that
was not even in her stom-
ach yet. My girlfriend
even started drinking milk
all the time just so that she
could get in the habit so
the little ones bones would
be strong. All the pills and
medicine are put away in
a cabinet tied tightly by a
shoelace so no infants can
get in it. It would have a
kind of Noahs Arc themed
bedroom with cuddly ani-mals all over the place. All
the details were basically
shaken out and decided.
My best friend who
would soon be the father
would have endless conver-
sations with us about how
happy he was and how he
would do anything for us.
He was given us the mira-
cle of life and I dont thinkhe realises how much that
means to us. All the de-
tails were nalised and
we purchased all that was
needed to get the job done.
It was simple and it didnt
take much work, just pa-
tience and a willingness
to continue. This was a
commitment to all parties.
Having a baby doesnt al-
ways work the rst time so
for us we all would have to
be open to continue trying.
Which every party agreed
to. I should have made up
legal documents to sign.
The lines of a donor run
very clearly. Of course its
different depending on the
case. Like ours for instance
he would be a donor, godfa-ther and would be able to
be there for it to the extent
he chose. He is my best
friend after all and I trust
him with everything. In-
cluding the life of my un-
born baby.
What is a donor? A
donor is someone who will-
ingly donates a part of
themselves to help anoth-er person. Does that give
them any right to make a
life changing decision for
you? Or does their opin-
ion even matter at all on
the subject? If someone
has offered you something
it should not be a prob-
lem for that person to go
through with it. The do-
nor must separate himself
from the lives of the people
he is affecting. In our case
we gave him the option to
see our beautiful miracle
as much as he chose. Only
of course because he is my
best friend and the God fa-
ther after all. Is he techni-
cally the father? Yes, ge-
netically he is, but legally
as a donor you give up yourright to say that it is your
child. You gave over all pa-
rental right to the parents
you are helping.
So many questions
come up when I am talk-
ing to people about this de-
cision I have made. They
ask me questions like am I
ready? Or can I afford to
have a child? The answersto both of those questions is
yes. The process of going to
a clinic in Halifax would be
difcult and expensive; not
that actual baby. I have
basically been the mother
to my sister for as long as
I can remember and I be-
lieve whole heartedly that
I am prepared and ready to
be a mother.
I want this more than
anything. You can have
the clothes off my back and
the roof over my head (not
really I would need those
things to raise a child) to
have this beautiful child.
It is a difcult road and I
am ready to take it. I have
a new job, more money and
more than anything, I havedetermination. My part-
ner of course has all these
things also. So do we de-
serve this baby?
My best friend is hesi-
tant. He is unsure. There
is not much time before
Thursday and it seems
as though my hopes and
dreams are being torn
from me. Im not sure ifI can convince him that
this is okay or if anything
will change his mind. The
clock is ticking. Will this
be the end of our wonderful
Lilly? She hasnt even had
a chance yet. Can he rip
that from her already?

By Sean ONeill
The pre-game atmo-
sphere at the Sullivan
Fieldhouse had been the
most palpable of the season
on January 25. The source
of the excitement was long-
time rival St. Francis Xavi-
ers trip to the Cape for amassive four-point game
on both the womens and
mens side of the basketball
standings.
Each game gave Ca-
pers fans moments that
they will never forget...
and for completely differ-
ent reasons.
On the mens side of
the basketball, most of theCanadian basketball com-
munity is aware of what
transpired at the home
game against St. FX.
The polarizing inci-
dent, one that will linger
longer in the memory than
the astounding basket-
ball game that was taking
place on the court, has -
nally come to some closure.St. FX assistant coach, and
former X-Men player Gar-
ry Gallimore has resigned
from his post effective
immediately. With 13.7
seconds left in the game,
Gallimore slapped a CBU
minor ofcial in the face
after a dispute in which St.
FX head coach Steve Kon-
chalski believed that the
time-out he called was not
buzzed-in at the scorers
table.
This comes after a for-
mal complaint from CBU
was led to Atlantic Uni-
versity Sport, accusing both
Konchalski and Gallimore
of Breach of Conduct and
written articles about the
incident were written by
all members of the game-
day staff recalling what
they saw transpire at the
scorers table.
Initially, Gallimore
was suspended by St. FX
for four games. But less
than a week after the epi-
sode, Gallimore resignedand issued the following
statement to StFX Com-
munications:
In light of the events
that occurred in the StFX-
CBU basketball game of
January 28th, I have de-
cided to step down as as-
sistant coach of the StFX
mens basketball team. I
realize that physical con-frontation with game of-
cials has no place in uni-
versity sport. My action at
the end of the game was to-
tally out of character with
how I have conducted my-
self through many years of
basketball. But my action
was unacceptable, and the
right way to show that is to
resign.I sincerely apologize
and express my personal
regret to the young man
involved, to Cape Breton
University, and to my alma
mater, StFX University.
The StFX Athletic
Department expects and
requires high standards of
conduct from athletes and
coaches, said Director of
Athletics, Leo MacPherson.
Mr. Gallimores resigna-
tion reects an understand-
ing of what is acceptable
and what is clearly unac-
ceptable.
While St. FX coun-
tered the CBU complaint
by claiming that a lack of
crowd control and unpro-
fessional behavior con-
tributed to the loud and
boisterous atmosphere at
the game, no logical cor-
relation can be made be-
tween a rowdy crowd and
a moment of madness from
a coach. They are two
separate incidents, and St.
Francis Xavier has now ad-mitted as much. Gallimore
has taken responsibility for
his actions, and now both
teams, fans, and universi-
ties can move on from this
incident.
Its a shame that so
much as been written about
this incident, because if
it didnt take place, the
internet and newspaperarticles dedicated to this
game wouldnt be as large,
diverse and profound; bas-
ketball message boards
would not be heating up
with biased and un-biased
debate; and the highlights
of the game would not be
taken down from YouTube
because of derogatory mes-
sages written beneath thevideo.
In reality, this was
the most energetic, dra-
matic and exciting basket-
ball game to be played at
the Fieldhouse in years.
Lead changes were plenti-
ful; 3-pointers were being
drained left, right, and cen-
ter; a player on each team
took the game by the scruff
of the neck; and the atmo-
sphere in the building was
the best all season long.
The Capers won the
dramatic game 90-86 be-
hind a mammoth perfor-
mance by forward Phil Nk-
rumah as he registered 39
points, 18 rebounds, nine of
which were offensive, four
assists, four steals, and a
block. He drained 59% of
his eld goals and 67% of
his three-pointers.
X guard Christian Up-
shaw was fantastic in de-
feat, showing why he might
possibly be the best player
in the conference. Upshaw
scored 38 points, shooting12/21 from the eld and
9/15 from behind the arc.
A place on the bleach-
ers at the Oland Centre for
the rematch on February
26 will be the hottest seat
in Nova Scotia.
Two days later, the
Capers played in a game
that had the anticipation
of a 50-inch snowstorm.The last-place University
of New Brunswick Varsity
Reds were the Capers next
opponent, and the result
was predictable as the Ca-
pers won easily 91-62. Tre-
maine Fraser led all Ca-
pers scorers with 18 points
and six assists. Nkrumah
nished another massive
game with his second dou-ble-double of the week, as
he registered 12 points and
15 rebounds.
For his efforts Nk-
rumah has won both Sub-
way AUS Male Athlete of
the Week and CIS Male
Athlete of the week for the
period ending February 1,
2009.
The Capers current-
ly sit second in the AUS
standings with a 10-3 re-
cord for 30 points. They
are two points behind St.
FX for rst and a comfort-
able eight points ahead of
Saint Marys, who has tak-
en all eight points from the
Capers this year but have
fallen off due to a surpris-

ing loss against Acadia.
The Huskies have two
winnable games against
UNB on the 7th and 8th
of February and two four-
point games against Memo-
rial on the 13th and 14th.
These 12 points should be
fairly straightforward for
the Huskies, which rendersthe two games at UPEI on
the 7th and 8th vital for the
Capers if they are to keep
their rst-round bye spot.
However, UPEI is 6-1
in Charlottetown this sea-
son, and have added two
players from the Bahamas
for the second half of the
season, in 67 forward Ga-
maliel Rose and 62 guardJeffrey Rodgers. Rose has
made an immediate impact
as he has averaged 18.5
points and 7.7 rebounds in
the 10 games in which he
has played.
After the two games
against the Panthers, they
nish off their home sched-
ule with two games against
Dalhousie, on the 14th and15th of February. The Ca-
pers split the two games
against the Tigers at the
DalPlex this season.
*****
Turning to the wom-
ens side of the basket-
ball, the Capers faced an
X-Women squad that was
vastly improved from the
team that failed to make
the playoffs last season.
With former Caper
player Matt Skinn di-
recting them on the side-
lines, St. FX gave CBU all
they could handle as they
pressed them to death and
the game went down to the
wire.

13/16
February 11, 2009 Sports /// Page 13 With 28.2 seconds left
in the game, the Capers
were up by 4 as X took a
time-out. The X-Women
have committed ve fouls
in the fourth, while the Ca-pers have only been whis-
tled for three.
The lead is cut to one
as X guard Ashley Stephen
drains a three-pointer
with 18.4 left on the clock.
Capers forward Karmen
Brown is fouled after the
time-out, but makes only
her nal shot as CBUs lead
is now at two.Xs chance to tie the
game is squandered as Ste-
phen picked up her dribble
and launched a desperation
shot that was missed badly
and the Capers grabbed
the rebound. Kari Everett
was fouled with 4.3 seconds
left.
Another twist in the
tale was about to unfold as
Everett missed both free-
throws and St. FX raced
down the oor and threw
a desperation shot up as
time expired. However,
Elyse Hnatiuk was clearly
fouled as she launched said
shot from half-court as the
buzzer sounded. The foul
was called on the Capers
Kelsey Hodgson, and every-
one in the building thoughtthat Hnatiuk would go
to the foul-line for three
shots, needing to drain all
three for the win with no
time left on the clock.
But the referees
claimed that it was not a
shooting foul. How they
made this determination is
unknown, but with a foul-
to-give, the Capers escapedthe situation as the ball was
inbounded with one second
left on the clockwhich was
not nearly enough time for
X to get a meaningful shot
up. The Capers won the
game 66-64. The Capers
survived this game by the
skin of their teeth, and the
X-Women should feel that
they could have won this
game if the refereeing deci-
sion went the other way.
Everett led all scorers
on the day with 21 points,as well as ve rebounds,
four assists and two steals.
Stephen led St. FX with 18
points.
On January 27, the
Capers rocked their brand-
new pink uniforms for
Shoot for the Cure day, as
they tried to raise money
and awareness for breast
cancer research, when theyfaced the University of New
Brunswick Varsity Reds.
All of the related activities
on the day made the game
seem obsolete.
Along with more than
40 cancer survivors walk-
ing around the gym at half-
time to show the collective
strength of surviving this
terrible disease, a gym dec-
orated in pink, and endless
opportunities to donate
money to the cause, the day
was an absolute success.
In total, more than $11,500
was raised for the ght
against breast cancer, and
Capers centre Stephanie
Toxopeus raised $1,000 on
her ownwhich led to her
head being shaved at half-
time of the mens game.Nothing on the court
could out-shine all of the
good work going on around
the game, but Kelsey Hodg-
son did her best to bring
the attention to herself.
Against UNB she scored
a school record 46 points,
which is the second high-
est total in AUS history
behind Carol Turney, whoscored 50 for Saint Marys
in 1976. Her pace helped
the Capers beat the Var-
sity Reds 85-61.
Following in Nk-
rumahs footsteps, Hodg-
son did the AUS-CIS daily
double as she swooped up
both Female Athlete of the
Week awards for the week
ending February 1, 2009.
The Capers currently
sit in rst-place in the AUS
with an 11-3 record for 38
points. If the Capers canget a split against Dalhou-
sie in their two remaining
home games, they should
be in great shape for one of
the rst-round byes in the
AUS playoffs, which begin
February 27, at Dalhou-
sie. They play last-place
UPEI twice on February 7
and 8, then come home for
the nal home-stand of theseason against Dalhousie
on the 14th and 15th as
they look to lock-up a rst-
round bye in the playoffs
against the nearest rival in
the standings.
*****
For the womens vol-
leyball team, they have al-
ready concluded their home
schedule for the 2008-09
season.
On January 23, the
Capers played a ve-setmarathon against St. FX.
After dropping the rst two
sets 25-18, 26-24, the Ca-
pers rallied back into the
match. They won the next
two sets 25-15, 25-17. The
fth and decisive set was
exhilarating as the Capers
won 15-12 to win the match
3-2. It was a massive result
that leap-frogged them overSt. FX in the standings.
The nal two matches
were also straightforward.
They defeated UPEI 25-
21, 25-21, 25-21. The nal
home match was against
Acadia, and prior to the
opening serve, a special
presentation was made to
Brianne Walsh and April
Costello as they played in
their nal match at the
Fieldhouse.
Head coach Claude La-
pre read to the crowd about
how he expected Walsh tobecome the best player on
the teamand did. And
how Costello would show as
much energy in practice and
games as she did singing on
the way home from games.
He also raved about their
commitment to the team
and the university. Sufce
to say, things got a little
emotional as they were in-troduced to the crowd and
owers were handed to the
graduating players.
Walsh and Costello
walked off the Caper oor
the nal time as winners
as they beat Acadia 25-12,
25-14, 21-25, 25-14. These
three wins have clinched...

will be a big let-down... Thank
you! It is the
rst time I have
seen it written
and it looks quite
good out side the
frameworks of
my thinking. Im

his fall so I can
see the faces ofthe Obama sheep,
both American
and Canadian,
who blindly fol-
low him and have
placed him on
such a pedestal
that reason has
been replaced by
ignorance.

Letter to the EditorFirstly let me apolo-
gize on any bad publishing
on my part: this letter is
being written in the CBUlibrary where I nd the po-
sitioning of the keyboards
quite... hideous to say the
least.
Being delivered to
school quite early today,
7 am, because the roads
where absolutely terrible in
North Sydney and a family
member with 4-wheel drive
was leaving early, I hadmuch time to dwell, and I
remembered this Univer-
sity had a paper! I tracked
one down, read it, and de-
cided to make some com-
ments.
Firstly, the article,
The New Media: An
Exercise of Vanity? was
absolutely fantastic. Ive
been debating my peersand others for many years
over this social networking
business. Im at a loss how
it became the way to be an
individual by conforming
to these networks and al-
lowing everyone to see you
in the light you choose.
The loss of identity
through these mediums is
something which alarms
me. I know this rst hand
because I was on Face-
book and I had not made
an account. My wife made
an account on my behalf
(without asking) from the
United States where she is
attending school. Not only
can you lose an identity
through information being
stolen, but someone can ac-
tually easily impersonateyou... which I nd disturb-
ing.
I deleted my account
merely because I didnt
care about who was in arelationship with who,
who was sad, who was get-
ting drunk... I thought it
was absolutely idiotic that
people felt so obligated to
post every little insigni-
cant detail which no one
cares about. Although I
found it amusing that peo-
ple I absolutely loathed in
high school or people whoI never spoke to added me
to Facebook merely to have
bragging rights about how
many friends they had.
I was probably the most
unpopular person on Face-
book: I only added two
people in the few months I
used it.
Secondly, the article
Staying tuned. If I hearGuitar Hero one more time,
Im seriously going to write
a public rant. I despise the
whole overly commercial-
ized play thing. It seems
like the addition of Me-
tallica Guitar Hero is just
pushing the boundaries,
trying to sponge the most
cash out of the game before
people realize they have
wasted their lives playing
it for ten straight hours.
Put the controller down
and decide to resume life!
Also, since when did
Slayer become Metallica-
esque: please listen to each
individually and get back
to me.
On the light side I
thought the Jesus refer-
ence in accordance to thelead singer of Nickleback
