"I want to Make sure the water going through the pipes is good water," said Roger Anderson who asked councillors Wednesday to a cent increase in water rates for 2001. In speaking to members of the Works and Finance and committees, Mr. Anderson said the 2.5 -per cent ,:in `Water rates proper by staff e aahortfall that would amper the Region's . ability to continue its maintenance proce- dures. But, with the five -per cent jump, which equals an increase of approximately $18 per year on the aver -water the Region will have more money available for on- going maintenance projects, he said. Scugog Mayor Doug Moffatt pointed out the Region's water and sewer rates are "not like a tax bill. It's a bill you write yourself. Peo- ple have the capacity to reduce the cost if they wish." But, Uxbridge Mayor Gerri Lynn O'Connor said it was prema- ture for the committee to recom- mend a five -per ' cent increase, in water rates when Durham doesn't know yet whether it will get any funding from a federal infrastruc- ture project to support local ser- vices. "I will not support five per cent at this time when we don't know how much we're going to get from' the Canada Infrastructure Project, she said But, Ajax Councillor Scott. Crawford noted bumping the staff recommendation to five per cent doesn't represent a large increase when considered on a "monthly basis. "We're talking a buck and a half a month., That's less than a large cup of coffeea month, he said.

"We've fallen behind," he said, noting "at the cur- rent rate of repair and re- placement.. it would take us 20 years to deal with the existing deficiencies." He also reported the Re- gion is facing about $900,000 in additional costs for laboratory tests re- quired under the Province's new drinking water regula- tions. Mr. Anderson noted 2.5 per, cent "doesn't even repre- sent the new cost imposed on us by the Province". Pickering Councillor Rick Johnson, who also chairs the Region's works committee, supported the five -per cent increase say- ing, "We have to be proac- tive with water especially with what's happened in Walkerton:' Meanwhile, the commit- tees are also recommending the sanitary sewer rates for 2001 be increased by 2.5 per cent.

That's the overall rating of Durham Catholic District School Board schools accord- ing to students, teachers, school councils and others who took part in an Education Ministry -mandated survey, the results of which were listed on Monday's board -meeting agenda. The School Facilities Re- port e=port` graded schools on cleanli- ness, comfort, the condition of the buildings, accessibility and safety, and teamwork among school groups in working to- ward a safe, clean and com- fortable environment. Business superintendent David Visser stated the board's overall score was 2.97 out of four. A score of 3.6 or better is considered `excellent', 2.6 to 3.5 is graded `good', 1.6 to 2.5 is considered `satisfactory' and scores 1.5 or less are deemed `improvement is need- ed'. "Although a rating of three out of four is very positive, there is data from the survey which can be utilized to iden- tify potential areas of im- provement," Mr. Visser stated. Principals have been asked to identify where things could be better at their school when they submit wish lists to the board as part of the budget process, and to share the re- sults with school community councils. Topping the list was St. Leo Catholic Elementary School in Brooklin, which received an overall grade of 3.888. Stu- dents gave the school a 3.95 mark, but the school council thought even higher, assigning a 3.97 grade. The lowest mark, a : 3.8, came from the school's non- • teaching staff. Close behind St. Leo was Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School, with an overall mark of 3.624. The school council gave the Port Perry school a four, the only perfect grade in the entire survey. - The highest-rated sec- ondary school was Father Leo J. Austin Catholic Secondary School in Whitby, at 3.046. On the other hand, the low- est specific mark for any high school, and the second lowest overallgrade in the entire sur- vey, was the 2.18 which went to Archbishop Denis O'Con- nor Catholic High School in Ajax. Teachers gave the facility a grade of 1.08. St. Joseph Catholic School in Oshawa received the lowest overall mark, a 2.166.

The City's executive committee voted Monday to advise the Region there is a need for Durham to review its current OP. The OP, which establishes a broadplanning policy framework designed to bal- ance growth while conserving re- sources and pro- tecting the envi- romnent, ` ` was adopted _ by Re- gional council in 1991 and was ap- proved ' by the Province in 1993. "A review of the Durham Re- gional OP is need- ed ` at this time. Nearly 10 years have passed since Regional council adopted the cur- rent OP and some dramatic changes have occurred in - the Region that should be reflect- ed ` in changes' to the OP," stated planning director Neil Carroll in a report to the COM- "Population, om- "Popu -ation, employment, housing awl eco- nomic growth has produced a need to examine trans- `Portatian, agricul- ture and environ- mental systems and other policies to ensure: they still guide ,:develop- ment properly for the future." City staff are also concerned there is a `nsid- enable amount of duplication" of Durham Regional OP policies with local municipal official plans and they art~ recom- mending 'gion "strew its plan to become more strategic:' The : staff re- port, which will go to Pickering council for con- sideration next week, also sup- ports the review of policies affecting growth, form, commercial sfructuo..;the Oak Ridges Moraine, rural development rfdtransportation- In additi City staff hell -150te ulation andemployment targets for 2021 that are included in the 1991 OP; that the results of Durham's Mobility Study should be translated into . new transportation policies for the OP; that environmentally -sensi- tive area designations-shouldbe up- dated; and thathousing policies - should be Mowed to -reflect the changes in.- o i cial pol%res and thetransfert fsa lysing sham to update Official Plan sibilities to the Region. The lack of affordable housing is another issue Ward 1 Regional Councillor Maurice Brenner wants the Region to examine. "There has to be a much more powerful state- ment to ensure we have a range of housing across the Region;' Coun. Brenner said. "I really believe the Region needs todemonstrate some, leadership in that area." And, Ward 2 Regional Councillor Mark Holland said he wants to en- sure the Region addresses the issue of curbing urban sprawl in reviewing its OP. "There needs to be more thought and time put into the policies as they affect sprawl," Coun. Holland said. Regional council approved a two - phased approach in April to review Durham's OP. Phase 1, which is currently under way, is intended to identify issues for the review. Durham residents and area municipalities have been invited to make submissions to the Region and a report is, expected from Durham's planning 'committee in January. The secoltd phase will then proceed with discussion papers on significant issues and recommended amendments to the OP. t0 am -num c*u meta ..POdisra ID Wisdom' • "16' B8 3D 8oss.d OR • 64 MB5DRt o.PC100 • Wt 93104 Drive •.iit9� •10: lIO Airs DMA • C AA rodASX-Med • 6 AGP Case & 250_watt P/5 - • 3ZX • Z BstltierMeese & Pad TAKE P RODE FOR .-$17.70/M11f OAC - • •`1 • ▪ 5$x eD • 3B: Resod Master •17". =rte Mater .Z7 .120 ..mow. .p$2 1.a# 4 Points Swround' SPEAK • ESAATX • 3 B�-Mise • 1i 56K f ux/8Ms- Wonraoly *41-419" w/aY.s69.99 PENTIUM 111 S! •moo grall4,10051A 100 • Pioneer 16x DVD4Ox Reeder std iYletberi sri • r.90 Fa c M.4ea1 • 1ZH MB PC133 • C$A A rove All Mia Coe 30 1 liard Drive•1T' i •32 ��Meai ,Zi P Video Card RWA 11112• 30;. •510X1 -R •Mtiad.wsMEer 911SE. • rive with CD & awed. . ,: „entp '.

That's the legacy of -the Walkerton water horror story. As last week's testimony came pouring out of Frank Koebel like a tap turned on full blast, Ontarians were treated to a story of negligence that was hard to believe. Mr. Koebel, who was foreman at the Walkerton water treatment -plant, testified he and older brother Stan, manager of the plant, had for years falsified water samples, had lied about the amount' of chlorine- in :the water, had generally deceived. Frank admitted to drinking on the job, said he. hadn't bothered to read training manuals provided to him and never took any training courses - in nearly 25 years on the job. In other words, the 42 -year-old took a job at 17 and never progressed . from that point.

Taking an unauthorized `cheat sheet' into an exam. `Borrowing' another person's words or ideas without giving _them credit. Call it _ what you will, it's all cheating and it's forbidden in Durham schools. But how often does cheating occur? According to local offi- cials, not very often. "In the 15 years I've been an administrator, I can remember three, at the most, instances of someone cheating," said Peter Morris, Uxbridge Secondary School principal. "It's part of an ethic. I think what we try and do with students is inculcate a good work ethic, taking pride in your work. . "Hopefully that ethic wins out over the shortcut?' Besides, he noted, it's not that easy to cheat. 'In the 15 years I've been an administrator, I can remember three, at most, instances of cheating.' -- PETER MORRIS When a secondary school teacher gives a student a major assignment, usually tied in to in- dependent study, there's general- ly "very specific instructions around the assignment". The student has to meet with the teacher several times along the way, and each meeting in- cludes a progress report. "If a student picked a paper off the Internet, they would still have to go through several stages," said Mr. Morris. So, like a math student who knows the final answer, but not how it was arrived at, a student who has a well-written paper on a topic, but can't discuss it or say how it was researched,: will be eyed suspiciously. Similarly, in exams, Mr. Mor- ris said a team of teachers super- vises to ensure no one has the a op- portunity to cheat. "I'm not so naive to think there are students out there who wouldn't cheat and do it success- fully," said Mr. Morris. As chairman of the Durham Secondary Administrator's Asso- ciation, he said cheating is "not something we've ever discussed at our association as a concern". Sylvia Terpstra, superinten- dent of Clarington schools for the Kawartha Pineridge District School Board, said she polled Clarington principals to ask if cheating was a problem. "It isn't," she said. "They don't perceive a problem in cheating." The reality, said Ms. Terpstra, is there's less cheating going on in schools, and it's a byproduct of a philosophic change 'that has occurred at the provincial level, where the current government has been undertaking a massive "rejuvenation" of the education system. Ms. Terpstra said the Province durrn the last six years has ea Teets Durham educators agree academic dishonesty rarely occurs, but deterrents are in place A question of plagiarism? Treat Internet the same as books A world of information awaits students on the Internet — and along with it comes a bevy of op- portunities to cheat. "That's been a bit of a learning curve for stu- dents and for us as well, honestly," said MaryLynn West-Moynes, vice-president of academic excel- lence and innovation at Durham College. College students created a CD-ROM to help students taking communications courses, especial- ly those in first year,, understand what plagiarism is, and that a Web page discovered on the Internet, like a book, is a source that must be cited in an as signment.; _ "For the most part, it's more of a problem in un- derstanding what (plagiarism) is," said Ray Gubala, acting dean for design and communications arts. "It- may be more of an act of ignorance as opposed to intentional." Peter Morris, principal at Uxbridge Secondary School, said there are sites where students can go to get essays. However he's not aware that it's posed a prob- lem for schools. Still, the school's site manager reviews the computer Jogs from time to time to see where stu- dents are going on the Web. "The Internet gives you all kinds of information and it gives us information, -he said. changed to a more performance- of a student's mark. what they have memorized, but based form of testing students, _ Now the final grade is broken how well they can demonstrate unlikern the past where summa- down into more parts, requiring what they have learned. • rive testing saw major assign- students to handin a larger num- Ms. Terpstra said this is re- ments and exams form the basis ber of assignments and show not fleeted in, for exam le, the new grades 9 and 10 curriculum, where a maximum of 30 per cent of the grade is based on summa- tive marks, including 10 per cent for the final exam. "I think there are far more op- portunities for students to demonstrate they understand ma- terial and can work with it," she said. In this environment, "a' stu- dent cannot sit back and not par- ticipate; you have to participate to be successful," said Ms. Terp- stra. Cheating is not a worry at Durham College, said MaryLynn West-Moynes, vice-president of academic excellence and innova- tion. • Unlike elementary and sec- ondary school students, college students choose to be in school. "We certainly don't see (cheating) as a growing or seri- ous problem," she said. "By the time people come to college, they're paying for their education and serious about what they're trying to achieve." Cheaters in this context are "cheating themselves", she said, since they would be ill-prepared to make it in the working world, the destination Durham College guarantees its students will be ready for, if they didn't grasp their area of study. 'By the time people come to college, they're paytng for their education and serious about what they're trying to achieve.' MARYLYNN WEST-MOYNES But, Ms. West-Moynes did add, "I like to think we take sec- -ond chances very seriously." A first offence more often than not means a student will have to redo the work. If the same `student cheats again, they may be asked to with- draw from the subject or even Ieave the college. In her two -and -a -half years as vice-president, Ms. West- Moynes said she has never had to ask anyone to leave because of academic dishonesty. Mr. Morris said each Durham public school has its own policy on the appropriate punishment for cheating. But the worst it gets is gener- ally a mark of zero on the assign- ment. Karmyn Giesbrecht, a Henry Street High School student and one of two student representa- tives on the Durham District School. Board, said it depends on the individual classroom teacher how much emphasis will be placed on academic honesty. In her experience, cheating does occur, but not on an exam or on an important assignment. More commonly, it is in the form of one student asking a peer what answer they got on a homework assignment, or letting a buddy copy homework. "It's not very serious," said Ms. Giesbrecht. "Not to the ex- tent that it becomes an issue."

Ajax's Community Affairs and Planning Com- mittee on Monday deferred the matter until Jan. 15, to give Ward 1 local Councillor Ralph Gol- berg a chance to canvass residents. The Town received a complaint about traffic congestion on Griffiths just south of Delaney Drive. School buses park on the east side of Grif fiths, while parents use the west side to drop off and pick up children. Engineering technician Mike Pelzowski noted in a written report that "visibility, bus manoeu- vrability and general roadway operations are being hampered by on -street parking on the west side of Griffiths Drive." The restrictions would be from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and stretch along the first five houses on the west side of Griffiths south of Delaney.

Tithe legislation is passed, Ontario would be the first province in Canada to freeze and seize illegal profits from organized crime. The government would be able to get court orders to seize proceeds of unlawful activity. Chief Keviir McAlpine said the proposed legislation would allow for civil asset forfeiture, including ceeds of crime ` and tools of trim The civil legal aspect should ' easier for authorities to seize asse he said. The federal procedure is "more complicated" and requires a criminal conviction, he said.

Chief McAlpine and others from the Durham force attended a recent sem- roar where speakers from around the world discussed " the international fight against organized crime. In Canada, organized `economic' crime costs between $5 billion and $9 billion each year. Laundered money accounts for $5 billion to $17 billion while the value of the illegal drug market is $7 billion to $10 billion. Organized economic crime in - chides telemarketing scams, insur- ante fraud, cell phone fraudand cred- it cam red-itcad fraud. The proposed law, `Remedies for Organized Crime and Other Unlawful Activities Act 2000', would also allow the Province to begin civil ac- tion against a conspiracy of two or more people whose crimes have harmed or are harming the public. An elite task force would be set up to investigate and take the civil cases to court. Seized assets would be used to compensate organized crime victims and fund prevention programs.

Mr. McIvor's counsel, Toronto area lawyer David Gomes, said he didn't -wish to discuss the case in de- tail because - it's now before the courts. But he did say ' the defendants were ' recently served with docu- ments and it would depend on them if the matter, could be settled out of court. "But we're more than prepared to go to trial;" Mr. Gomes said. Mr. Mclvor pleaded guilty last March to three counts of dangerous driving, failing to stop for police and failing to comply with bail in' the Dec. 20 incident. He was sentenced to five months in addition to more than three months in pretrial custody, which the judge doubled, to make .a full year. Const.

One of those present almost -didn't make the important ceremony. It was June 16 of this year when Oshawa resident John Benetin, 54, wasn't feeling. well. By day's end, he would make medical history as the :first patient in Canada to be treated by paramedics from the new pro- gram. Only available in Oshawa at the time, he says he is alive today because of it. "I was at home," recalled Mr. Benetin. "At first, it just felt like indigestion, then- halfway across the kitchen, I collapsed." Mr. Benetin. was following his wife who was about to call their doctor. Instead, she called 911. When the retired General Motors worker woke up, "It felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest," he remembers. "It was indescribable pain and I was soaked (in per- spiration)." Mr. Benefit, was having a massive heart attack. But because of the advanced care the paramedics in Oshawa provided,_ which` in- cluded administering the drug Retvase to sta- bilize him, he is alive and well. "Years ago I took -CPR," said Mr. Benetin's wife, Cheryl. "Something made me turn his head so he could start to breathe. He was blue." As for the paramedics who she credits for really saving her husband's life, she remembers their names. "I love them, they're angels," she said, standing beside her healthy -looking husband. "I'11 never forget June 16 and Tina and Trevor. Mr. Benetin recalled wonder- ing what was happening once help arrived and, he had been transferred from his home into the ambulance. "I kept asking the paramedics why we weren't moving," .he re- members. The reason was that the ad- vanced care para- medics were sending Mr. Benetin's vital in- formation to hos- pital so that when he arrived, the emergency staff could do its part to keep himalive. The advance care program is a part- nership of Rough Valley Health System, Lak- eridge Health Corp., Durham Emergency Servers, Durham Region and Durham College. "I'm very grateful," said the father and grand- father of one. "I can't -say enough." A `primary' paramedic for nine years, Jodi Dockman is one of eight currently un- dergoing instruction in the new program at Durham. "Each student is a primary-care paramedic with between two and 20 years experience;' said the. -34-year-old- Pickering resident who will graduate from the ad- vanced studies in May. "The program allows us to give better pa- tient care... We have the tools here to save lives. Out on the road, we see people trapped in their cars, hanging upside "Today: we are becoming partners for life," said Marty Epp, clinical leader of the Base Hospital Advanced Life Support Pro- gram for Durham Region and the driving force behind the initiative. "We will be sav- ing lives by providing the same level of care as a hospital emergency room to injured or sick patients." Durham College and University ' Centre president, Gary Polonsky was encouraged by the large crowd on hand for the launch. "As you can see form the turnout, this is a big deal," said Mr. Polonsky. "For each of us and all the members of our families, there will come a time when we need this (ad- vanced paramedic) help. In my family, it was four years ago when my wife had what was called a cardiac episode.

"There's been a lot of focus on youth... we hada feeling experienced workers face challenges as well and nobody seemed to be ad- dressing them," said Jan Lean, a member of the Ex- perienced Worker Advisory Group (EWAG). The com- mittee was created in March with members of _ various Durham agencies geared to providing employment as- sistance. Its purpose is to address the needs of people in the 45 -plus ' age group who are either unemployed or in need of skills upgrad- ing. According to a recent study, older workers are less likely . to be unemployed than those who are younger; however, when theydo lose their job, they are twice as likely as their younger col- leagues to still be unem- ployed a year later. EWAG surveyed 427 mature workers in .the Durham area this year in an attempt to address ` their needs for employment ser- vices. Among the findings were a number of barriers experienced workers en- counter in finding new . em- ployinent. The first is employer per- ception that age could pre- vent the person from per- formingequally to younger colleagues. "There are myths out there," explained Ms. Lean. "People believe (mature workers) take more time off when in fact statistics show they're more stable. Another myth is they are resistant to learning. The •stats : show they do engage in training." Far from being a detri- ment,_ the experienced worker offers a combination of "recent, relevant training and experience in the work- force," she said. For some workers, a low level of education causes problems when the candi- date is looking to be re- hired. The expectation of a salary compatible to the one left behind can also cause more experienced workers to wait longer for employ- ment, explained Ms. Lean. Services : experienced workers are looking for -in- clude: knowledge of the "hidden" job market, career counselling and interview skills assistance and train- ing, according to the survey. EWAG held four ses- sions across Durham recent- ly to get further input on the study. The Bowmanville after-- noon meeting had .a zero turnout, but other' sessions fared better with more par- ticipants in the Oshawa, Pickering and north Durham areas. The commit- tee will be adding input. from the meetings into report and will present final findings and recom- mendations early in 2001. A resource guide has been produced listing the various resources already able in the community 1VIs. Lean nvfed there *al- _ ready many services avail- able for experienced work- ers and suggests people may not be aware of how much is offered. For example, the cin to ......ment+barrlers Career Shop at Durham College is a service open to - the entire community and is not geared specifically to students at the college, she... says. The guides are available at libraries throughout Durham and will be avail- able in other public build- ings throughout the region. ,information is also available on the Internet ` at www.ewag.on.ca. is jr r` -g1f c' call a gray Talk.to' discover what a funeral can be, and how easy it is to arrange your own funeral.

Who is Warren Buffet? This multi- billionaireowns the company Berkshire Hathaway and it's stocks are among the most expensive on Wall Street. Buffet has written books and whenhe talks people listen. His company owns shares in Coca Cola and klcDonalds and many other corporations but helms never bought a corporation lock, stock and barrel until: last year. He stunned Wall Street by purchasing International Dairy Queen. He sold his shares itt McDonald's to: Why' would -the 2nd richest man in the world sell- a substantial interest. in McD's and — buy Dairy Queen? He said it was rude,rvatued. I dtjt'-t believe for a second that this was the only reason. If you take a look you will see ,that the new generation of Dairy Queen is positioned to make a huge impact in the fast food market. There is no other fast food chain. that has the variety of. fast food, chicken, frozen: cakes- atbt world famous :treats that Dairy Queen has. It has it all. It has been serving Burgers and Tteatalrr over 50 years. Dairy Queen is a big player in fast food out West and down .East°and a big player on TV in those markets but because of the ntairket in southern Ontario DQ has`never gotten the sate exposure. Also some of dtrst;.PQ'u in Canada were in Ontario and their old :contracts have allowed thein to close in the winter. The DQ system has been inconsistent in Ontario up till now. That is changing. New stores are going up and old ones are being renovated. The Pickering store is the new generation of DQ. In both Canada and the USA sweeping changes are taking place at International Dairy Queen with a new,u� president in both Canada and the US. The new American President is only 40 years old and; wants to make the public aware not only of the. great fast food products DQ offers but of the; overall diversity of our stores. We will be on TV more than ever before in 2001 and there is, even talk of a name change to reflect the differences in the Dairy Queen of today. This has already begun with the new slogan "Meet me at DQ" instead of Dairy Queen. My choices for a new name ,would include DQ BURGERS N'CONES or DQ BURGERS,, CAKES AND TREATS or DQ BURGERS, AND TREATS. What do you think? Here's a collection of all the DQ slogans over the years in sentence form. In the land of Dairy Queen we treat you right when you think -DQ, so meet me at DQ.

On an individual level, however, it was a promising start to what's shaping up to be an outstanding college career for the Leopards' quarterback. So spectacular and heralded was Glav- ic's ascension to the starting quarterback job with the Leopards, that he was named the NCAA Division 1 -AA's Patriot League rookie of the year this season. Only the seventh recipient of the Patriot League's rookie -of -the -year award in the school's 119 years in college football, Glav- ic was honoured to receive the accolade an- nounced last month He's turning heads in Easton Here's a sample of what was writ- ten about St. Mary Catholic. Sec- ondary School graduate Marko Glavic in the Easton, Pa. newspa- pers over the past football season: • "Everything is based on perfor- mance. It was time to make a change. And I can tell you now, we're all radi- cally Canadian" - Lafayette Leopards head coach Frank raven', as quoted in the East- on Express -Times, on Glavic being named team starter • "Glavic, as you might have guessed, is not your average Patriot League freshman quarterback. His de- meanor is very similar to that of former Lehigh University star Phil Stambaugh not too high, not too, low. Perfection, however, is always the goal, and pres- sure is an arena to thrive in.'' • "Glavic is one piece of Tavani's re -- building project at Lafayette. But in col- lege football, the quarterback is always the cornerstone, even if that rock is im- ported from Canada," - Corky Blake, writing in the East- on Express -Times •`"He possesses a rifle and the abil- ity to unload a 60 -yard bomb with the. flick of a wrist — even while on the run to his left. He's shown an amazing elu- siveness. And he's strong enough to break away from a tackler who has caught him" • "Pest! Lafayette's got a stud quar- terback" _ Ted Meixell writingin the Easton Morning Call "I found out while visiting a friend and teammate in Massachusetts;" the St, Mary Catholic Secondary School graduate told the News Advertiser. "Obviously, I was pretty happy and excited about it. For a kid from Canada, it's a real accomplishment" Despite playing on a rebuilding team that went 2-9 in league play, the' six-foot six-inch tall, 225 -pound pivot exceeded all expecta- tions. He completed 159 -of -297 passes for 1,964 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. Glavic was philosophical about the team's sub -par season, saying the Leopards are a young squadthat has a tremendous up- side for the future. "Overall, the way the season went could have been a lot better, noted Glavic. "The thing that was most important was winning and we ended up 2-9, which was a bit disap- pointing. But, we're a young team and we're going to be a whole lot better." - The rookie -of -the -year award was sweet - for Glavic as he wasn't expecting to be the starter this season, with the Leopards pos- sessing twoveteran quarterbacks who ranked higher onthe team's depth chart to begin the season. That all changecf`however; in Lafayette's second game of the campaign. Facing Princeton, Glavic came on in re- lief in the first half -and never looked back. He connected with a receiver for a 55 -yard game -winning touchdown with 18 seconds remaining in the game to give the Leopards an improbable 24-17 victory. It was the first time Lafayette had beaten Princeton since 1982 and just the second tune since the First World W. Glavic explains his transition to the. American game was relatively smooth, al- though he admitted he faced some adapting; from his experience in Durham. "For me, the biggest adjustment was the speed of the game. The guys there are faster, bigger and stronger. When you drop back (in the pocket), the guys are coming at you a lot quicker and I found it a challenge to adapt to the speed of the game:' He explained' a stepped-up workout regi- men as well as more time in the film room viewing game tapes have helped him throughout the season to become a more complete player. He noted college football at Lafayette is well -supported by the fans, who numbered more than 8,000 on average at home games this season. The final game of the season, against Lehigh University, attracted a crowd of 17,000. And, the atmosphere surrounding the games is more electric than he's ever ex- perienced. "It's a whole different game down there. Football's so much more of an aspect of peo- ple's lives here. I went to a local high school game and they had more than 5,000 people for a night game. They had a huge band. They go the whole nine yards downhere. It's a lot more of a big deal in peoples' lives." He admitted there's more pressure on him to succeed than ever -before, and that's Photo courtesy of Lafayette College Athletic Communications Department Pickering's Marko Glavic had a big year as the starting quarterback in his fresh- man season with the Lafayette College Leopards of Easton Pa. which compete in the NCAA Division 1 -AA Patriot League. He was named the league's rookie of the year recently. borne out to a large extent by, the press clip- pings from the two Eason' newspapers, as the precocious quarterback has been the story of the Leopards this year. The papers have trumpeted Glavic - as the "cornerstone" of Lafayette football after his impressive debut season. Glavic has learned quicklyhow to handle the pressure and is unmoved by the attention he's garnered, preferring to focus on honing his considerable football skills. "I've pretty much takenit in stride. What the media do and say, I can't control., I've al- L ways told myself that if I do what I did in high school, I'll be fine. I just do my best and block out all that stuff?' Although this past season was a learning experience for the entire team, Glavic is convinced Lafayette is on the road to a Pa- triot League championship during his four- year tenure at the school. "My goal is to leave the school having won a Patriot League championship. We're a young team and we're capable of doing it in the next three years, maybe even two;" he said. ocnid, 911,3A,' Lightning hang tough, but come up just short Lose 3-2 against Mississauga, 4-1 in Brampton The Durham Clearnet Lightning lost a heart- breaker to the Mississauga Ice Bears in , National Women's Hockey League action at the Ajax Commu- nity Centre Tuesday night.
