Lakeshore gets its man back

Matt Shilton -.-rS iJinmes News Reporter

The man who brought a store front police station to the Lakeshore and Islington area has been re-elected as city councillor for Ward 6 - Etobicoke- Lakeshore, which encompasses Humber's Lakeshore campus. Friends and family celebrated Mark Grimes's victory at Strates Banquet Hall at Kipling and Evans Ave. Monday night. Grimes, who has served the Etobicoke

community for the last three years, is being given another opportunity to shine for the next four years. He defeat- ed runner up Jem Cain by under 3000 votes, taking 42.6 per cent of the votes in the ward. "We're going to continue on with the

plan," Grimes said. "Community safety is a top priority down here. The store front police station was one of my proudest things I've brought to the Lakeshore. We've got a multi-million dollar police college going in which should be com- plete by 2009."

The idea of an election is much more interesting to me than the election itself ... The act of voting is in itself the defining moment - JeffMelvoin, author. Don't snooze away final term

The final weeks of first term are fast approaching and staying focused towards the end of Cf\Q.f^ oT -JU the semester can be challenging. Plans for the holidays start to materialize and winter COCt) CUT'S , employment becomes crucial to pay for tuition and gifts. Employers will seek more commit- ment from employees as preparation for the holiday rush begins. Around this time, after mid-term marks are revealed, students will either make a concerned effort to step up heading into the final half of the semester or choose to coast the rest of the way. The truth is, the second half of the semester is the most important. Slacking off at this time can leave students scrambling when final exams come around. Dates for final exams are known well in advance but students still manage to get caught off guard. The hardest exams are usually ones worth 40 to 50 per cent, leaving many students relying on the final to boost grades. Those exams should receive the most attention and proper organization can help while looking ahead to goals for the rest of the semester. Stuffing loose papers into bags, or grabbing different notebooks for the same class because they're close at hand means it's time to regroup and reorganize. The one binder that holds all six subjects will only add to the chaos when trying to find specific notes. According to Suitcl01.com, carrying a different binder for every class, or one that has sep- arate sections is essential. Another idea is to take notes in one notebook and at the end of each day rewrite them in a separate binder. This takes more time, but is a great study skill because it allows for reading, writing, and hopefully summarizing of all that was important during the class. Important lectures and assignments follow mid-term exams and are designed to prepare students for finals but some choose to blow off late semester classes.

Harsh winter mornings make it more appealing to hit snooze several times, remain in bed and forget about the 8 a.m. class. Students feel they have more time to complete assignments and improve grades than they actually do resulting in all-night studying and lack of sleep. A good sleeping schedule will help avoid exhaustion and will help when studying long hours. The weeks between mid-term and finals arc vital to reflect on the first half of the year and determine areas where improvement can be made. Staying focused and determined after mid-term will produce the desired results when final grades are issued. Miller's victory not a big surprise JoHr4 4lftS "b&e^J Aim AY

At 8:01 p.m. Monday night David Miller was re-elected as Toronto's mayor. The polls closed 's ^/MS':;£^i . Hi\t i<& . at eight. \N

It took exactly one minute of counting votes for City TV to realize that Miller's closest com- petition, lane Pitfield, was actually no competition at all. And while 29 candidates finished behind Guelph Humber student Shaun Bruce, who man- aged to finish ninth in the mayoral race, the biggest losers in this week's elections were the people of Toronto. Miller received 56 per cent of the vote in the mayoral race, seemingly securing victory and a mandate without breaking a sweat.

Still, the question remains, was the wide margin of victory enjoyed by Miller indicative of a strong race by the mayor, or was the lopsided win the product of a weak field? Word In 2003 Miller secured a sizeable victory in the mayoral race, taking 43 per cent of the votes. Omed Tahir, HaileynKean, But that win came against as many as five legitimate candidates, including Ontario's current 22, hospitality management 21, film and television opposition leader John Tory, and former Toronto mayor Barbara Hall. on What's more, there was never a time in the weeks leading up to the election where Miller's "Now when I eat "I'll probably stay victory seemed imminent. The mayoral race was always in doubt right up until election I think about it." away from Hersheys night, when the mayoral race morphed into a two-way struggle between Miller and Tory. the for awhile." The people rallied around Miller because they believed in his politics. He was the only one of the five frontrunners who opposed expanding the island airport by building a fixed bridge, an election issue that caught fire amongst the city's voters. Miller's victory in 2003 was Street accompanied by a sense of optimism and hope for the city. In 2006, Miller's victory was never in doubt. Despite what Stephen Le Drew would have the electorate believe, there were only two front running candidates this time around, and an argument can be made that there was only one. No one ever really believed that Jane Pitfield was going to be the next mayor of Toronto. The lack of competition undoubtedly had an impact.

A man arrested for "overt sexual activity" with his girlfriend on an airliner was lying with his head on her lap because he wasn't feeling well - Associated Press. Knowing limits pays off Students who learn when to stop can avoid hangovers

Laura Finney

Life Reporter

Partying students learn the consequences of a big night out after waking up for class feeling groggy and nauseated, but the cure doesn't always come easily. "The results of drinking are going to produce symp- toms similar to dehydration - headache, dry mouth, tiredness. Direct irritation of the stomach lining can result in feeling nausea," said Humber nursing stu- dent Erika Kukucska. Aside from the personal pain and discomfort, hang- overs can be an economic burden. The Costs of Substance Abuse in Canada 2002, a study released by the Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse (CCSA), revealed that hangovers and alcohol consumptions have an impact on health care costs, criminal justice costs and productivity loss.

Kukucska's advice to avoid hangovers is simple.

"All I can say is know your limit. Prevention is the key. If you don't drink as much in the first place, you won't need to worry about the hangover."

Bur sometimes this advice is washed away. According to Health Canada, over 40 per cent of Canadians aged 20-24 reported heavy monthly alco- hol use between December 2003 and April 2004. Hangovers can cause nausea and headaches. "Heavy drinking monthly alcohol use" is classified by Health Canada as having five drinks or more on a painkiller (such as Advil or Tylenol or any other
