The Memorial University of Newfoundland Students' Union (MUNSU) recently discussed a motion to lobby the university for a student choice policy when it comes to animal dissection in lab courses. Robynn Dicks is the first-year biology student who brought this issue to the attention of council. Dicks said she is morally against dissecting animals. It was in her first-year biology class she realized she had to dissect an earthworm, and fish and rats in consecu­ tive labs.

    Newsletter of the London Curling Club November 2005 With much excitement and enthusiasm, London Curling Club LCC HOSTS opened its doors on Thursday, October 13 to Team Canada and a group of national and international curling celebrities.

A morning Media Conference was held to bring local media up to date about the progress of the STOH and to introduce Team Canada … Jennifer Jones, Cathy Overton-Clapham, Jill Officer and Georgina Wheatcroft (photo, from right to left). Reporters and photographers from the London area viewed a promotional video about the Scott Tournament of Hearts (taking place in London from February 25 to March 5 at the JLC), took photos of Canada’s “Number One” curling team, and participated in a question-and-answer session with Peter Inch and Jennifer Jones and the members of her team. As well, the media and several LCC members had the opportunity to meet and greet the 2005 STOH second-place skip Jenn Hanna, whose spectacular performance in the final game of the 2005 women’s final has made her a fan favourite.

  • What a Decade for Curling by Bob Weeks , the Globe and Mail - Sunday, January 3, 2010
    What a decade for curling By Bob Weeks , The Globe and Mail - Sunday, January 3, 2010 The Changing of the Guard While the Olympics welcomed curling back to the fold as a full-medal sport in the past decade, it's been over the past 10 years that the Games has taken over as the brass ring for curlers. While the Tim Hortons Brier, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Ford World Curling Championships are still highly sought-after titles, top curlers now eat, sleep and sweep with the Winter Games as the top goal. Biggest Surprise Victory At the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, unheralded British skip Rhona Martin played a perfect last-rock draw to defeat Switzerland and win the gold medal, giving the Brits their first Winter Games gold since skaters Torvill and Dean in 1984. More than six million fans tuned in at home to catch the historic moment. Most Memorable Name Markku Uusipaavalniemi, skip of the Finnish team that won silver at the 2006 Games, gained the nickname U-15 for his lengthy surname. He's now a member of parliament in Finland. Fastest Learners In 2004 Wang Bingyu led the first team of Chinese women curlers on a visit to Canada. Playing against a team of senior-aged, club-level curlers in Vancouver, the squad was beaten badly. Fast- forward to 2009 and the Chinese women are now world champions and gold-medal favourites in Vancouver. Most Memorable Game No contest here, it's the 2004 Brier final. Mark Dacey's stunning comeback against Randy Ferbey's Edmonton four might be the most memorable curling game ever.

  • A Victim's Survivor Guide to Curling's Eight-Ender
    Newsletter of the London Curling Club March 2016 A victim’s survivor guide to curling’s eight-ender It happened to us. We didn’t see it coming. There were no warning signs that night. Naturally, you know the risks when you lace up your curling shoes, but goodness knows that you push that fear to the furthest reaches of your consciousness when you step onto the ice and prepare to do battle. We did that. Our game started out as it normally does. We give up two or three points in the first end before we settle into a better system of “making” the odd shot. That being said, giving up four points in the first end was not a complete surprise. The fact that everyone missed every shot was a little disconcerting and the team got a little quieter than usual. You see, we have a couple of strict team rules. One of them is that you can’t criticize other team members’ shots unless you make a shot. So, given that on average we were curling at around zero per cent, this started out as a pretty quiet night. An “eight ender” sneaks up on you. You miss a freeze and your rock slides through the house. You miss a take out, or graze an opposition stone that slides slowly to a perfect spot. You miss a draw to get behind a guard and slide just a little too far. You look at each other wondering how we could all be off on the same night. You just start hoping that someone will make a shot.
