New study challenges approaches to helping homeless youth
By Lauren Nisbet
Gazette Staff
Homeless youth in London may
reap the benefits of a new study
conducted by the Lawson Health
Research Institute.
Local researchers are evaluat-
ing different approaches to help
homeless youth who also have a
mental illness. The resulting
research may determine whether
it’s more beneficial to treat the ill-
ness first or find housing.
“The traditional view has been
to deal with mental health first so
that the person becomes stable
enough to maintain housing, but
recent U.S. studies have ques-
tioned that approach,” Cheryl
Forchuk, assistant director at Law-
son and leader of the study, said.
“Until now, all housing-first
studies have looked at adult
homeless populations […] we’re
wondering if it would make sense
for the younger population, which
presents some unique differ-
ences,” Forchuk said.
Among these differences, she
cited the potential difficulty for
younger individuals to sign a lease
without family involvement or
housing history.
Forchuk also emphasized the
significance of giving homeless
youth options in the study.
“We’re offering three choices:
housing first, treatment first or both
housing and treatment together.
Whatever they choose we will do
our best to provide them with that
option, and then follow them over
18 months to see what happens.”
Ross Fair, general manager of
Community Services Develop-
ment for the City of London, cited
preference-based research as an
instrumental step in improving
the City’s program for assisting
homeless youth.
“We’re trying to determine
which approach is best. The
research will help us refine our
care strategy so that we have the
right philosophy, and explore the
possibility of different solutions
for different kids.”
The study also aims to provide
information on who is choosing
which approach and why.
“I’m curious to see the out-
come of the both-at-once option,
which was criticized [for] being
too overwhelming in the adult
studies. I’m wondering whether
youth will prefer to have the whole
package all at once,” Forchuk said.
The community’s current sup-
port system, London’s Communi-
ty Addiction Response Strategy,
has predominantly used the
housing-first theory up to
this point, but according to
Fair, adaptability is key.
“We need to keep an
open mind. There’s no one
solution that will work for
everyone. Any system will be most
successful if it is client-focused,”
Fair said.
Doug Whitelaw, acting execu-
tive director of Ark Aid Street Mis-
sion on Dundas Street, considered
shelter to be the most important
element when it comes to provid-
ing aid.
“It’s important not to let people
fall through the cracks. In an ideal
world, you’d have both [treatment
and shelter], but practically speak-
ing, it’s hard to help people if they
don’t have an address — how would
you find them?” Whitelaw said.
When asked about her predic-
tions for the outcome of the study,
Forchuk remained neutral.
“I’m always willing to be sur-
prised.”

UW VP candidate copies Tithecott Facebook page
By Shreya Tekriwal
Gazette Staff
“Have you met Mike?”
Election candidates at the University of
Windsor certainly have.
Kim Orr, who is running for vice-president
administration for the University of Windsor
Students’ Alliance, duplicated Mike Tithe-
cott’s campaign description on Facebook,
according to another candidate.
“Instead of ‘Have you met Mike?’ it said,
‘Have you met Kim?’ In places where I had
Delaware, she had ‘my residence,’” Tithecott,
president-elect for Western’s University Stu-
dents’ Council, said.
Christopher Trotman, communications
co-ordinator for UWSA, said another candi-
date told UWSA about the duplication after
researching other campaigns.
“When [the Facebook descriptions] were
lined up, they looked exactly the same,” Trot-
man said.
According to Tithecott, a student involved
with a campaign team at Windsor informed
him of the similarity.
“It’s a shame to think someone who held
such a senior position didn’t have the cre-
ativity to come up with their own material,”
Richard Wong, campaign manager for Tithe-
cott, said.
The candidate who found the similarity
mentioned she was browsing through vari-
ous campaign pages prior to elections when
she came across Tithecott’s.
“[When] I read through [Orr’s Facebook
page], something didn’t sound right,” the
candidate, who requested to remain anony-
mous, said. She also noted as of yesterday the
content on Orr’s page had been altered, with
similarities removed.
Phil Sach, chief returning offer with the
USC, mentioned no policy currently exists at
Western to deal with this particular situation
if it occurred here.
“It would obviously be something we
would investigate [...] It could fall under the
violation of ‘Intentional Misrepresentation of
Fact,’ since they would be using something
that wasn’t theirs,” he said. .
Andrew Bell, a candidate running for the
same position as Orr, expressed his disap-
pointment: “As a student on campus, I feel
like students deserve someone who will be
transparent and honest with them [...] I am
disappointed that there has been no action
on this yet.”
“I think [the election committee] is going
to dismiss the case. I personally don’t agree
with it but there is not much I can do about
it,” Trotman added.
Omar Raza, CRO for the UWSA, men-
tioned social media is not policed due to its
recent deregulation.
“We have only had a brief exchange
with Ms. Orr. She has notified us that the
pages are not similar at this point,” Raza
added.

2010 budget approved, Forest City to get more trees

By Meagan Kashty
Gazette Staff
After a lengthy debate, London City
Council approved the 2010 budget
last night, resulting in one of the
lowest property tax increases in the
last 10 years.
While London residents will
have to pay three per cent more in
2010, the additional capital will go
towards a variety of initiatives.
Some of the planned investments
of the City next year include
improvements to the public transit
system, road maintenance, tree
planting, new bike lanes and ener-
gy saving initiatives.
“Our strategy of tightly control-
ling our debt and limiting property
tax increases has positioned us well
to keep tax rates low,” Tom Gosnell,
deputy mayor and budget chief,
said.
While many goals of the budget
are structural, the new-found cash
flow will also go towards some pro-
jects known to be contentious
issues in the past. However, some
initiatives were left behind.
“There were a few pronounced
[disagreements],” Gina Barber, con-
troller, said. “One, over the issue of
whether we would be subsidizing
[bus] passes for more than we are
currently.”
At present, transit subsidies are
available to seniors and the visual-
ly impaired. Some members of the
council expressed their desire for
this group to be extended to people
with other disabilities, but no
money was set aside.
“I think some of us were disap-
pointed with that,” Barber said.
Other contentious issues includ-
ed downtown parking, sidewalk
clearing and public transit.
Overnight parking, which was
tested this past summer, will not be
continued due to its significant
effect on the City’s revenue stream.
Unfortunately, the funds lost from
the fines associated with parking
had too much of an impact to
ignore.
“Clearing the sidewalks was also
a bone of contention,” Barber said.
“We had hoped, and were success-
ful to get the money to improve the

towns’ drinking water, infecting the
citizens with a maddening disease.
The film follows four individuals as
they try to escape their infected
town.
The Crazies is a surprisingly well
done film, with beautiful cine-
matography, a quick-paced story-
line and outstanding performances
from its actors. This film uses gore
and violence combined with an
unobtrusive score to produce a
marriage of disparity and horror.
The cinematography is unusual
for a horror film as Eisner — for the
most part — strays away from the
overused shaky hand-held camera
and short, quick shots typical of the
genre. Instead, the majority of the
film’s clear, focused shots result in
some desktop worthy backgrounds.
Most horror scripts struggle to
instill dramatic appeal into the film
and end up complicating the nar-
rative or slowing down the pace.
The plot for The Crazies hardly fal-
ters or regresses with unnecessary
character development, but rather
lets the story unfold naturally.
The cast is mainly comprised of
B-list actors, many unrecognizable.
But overall the acting is believable,
with actors each getting a chance to
slay some diseased creep lurking in
the shadows. Anderson — previ-
ously seen in Across the Universe —
delivers a great performance as
Russell Clank, while Olyphant and
Mitchell give decent performances
as married couple David and Judy
Dutton.

it’s the LAW
CAN I HELP YOU, SIR? Timothy Olyphant plays David, a sheriff trying to escape the horrifically diseased citi-
zens of his town.
Mark Isham’s original score does
a good job in creating ambience
and evoking sadness and distress,
with the music enhancing each
scene rather than overpowering it.
However, the film isn’t without
its flaws. The beginning seems
somewhat melodramatic and a bit
slow as it attempts to introduce the
conflict. It also enlists predictable
horror film techniques such as sud-
den movements and loud shrieking
noises. The continuous bombard-
ment of near death experiences
makes parts of the film seem
redundant.
Compared to Romero’s original
conception of The Crazies, the
remake is much more relaxed when
addressing the political points,
revamping and veiling them with
blood and gore.
The Crazies is one of Eisner’s first

films to go mainstream, and it is an
impressive result for a relatively
amateur director. It not only focus-
es on scare tactics, but it also
devotes effort to the visual presen-
tation of the film and soundtrack.

It should come as no surprise
the violence is graphic and consid-
ering the subject matter, the film is
perhaps not the best choice for a
hypochondriac or those afraid of
the dark.
V-Day explores
female sexuality
V-Day Western is once again pre-
senting the empowering works of
Eve Ensler, The Vagina Monologues
and A Memory, A Monologue, A
Rant, and A Prayer.
The campaign has raised over
$75,000 in its nine years of produc-
tion.
V-Day is a global movement to
end violence against women and
girls. It’s performed around the
world by colleges and universities,
as well as by community cam-
paigns, to raise money to benefit
female victims of violence and sex-
ual abuse.
Through a series of monologues,
the works tell real women’s stories
about female sexuality. The pro-
duction deals with a variety of
issues, like spousal abuse, coming
of age, orgasms and — of course —
the vagina.
“All of our money raised goes to
local beneficiaries, including the
Sexual Assault Centre of London,
Changing Ways and Women’s Com-
munity House,” said Heather Gra-
ham, publicity co-ordinator for V-
Day Western, in a press release.
“Every year, the V-Day interna-
tional organization picks a spotlight
campaign. This year it’s women and
girls in the Democratic Republic of
Congo [...] Ten per cent of the pro-
ceeds raised will go to women in
the Congo,” Graham said.
The Vagina Monologues and A
Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A
Prayer will be performed at Althouse
College Theatre from Mar. 6-7. For show
times visit www.vdaywestern.com. Tick-
ets are on sale at InfoSource, The Grand
Theatre and at the door for $15 each or
$25 for both shows.

Mustangs basketball nets awards
The Western Mustangs women’s basketball team cleaned up when
the OUA West awards were announced earlier this week. Amanda
Anderson, in her final year as a Mustang, was named the OUA West
player of the year and was also named a first team all star. Mean-
while, six-foot-one forward Katelyn Leddy was selected as a sec-
ond team all star and first-year Mustang Beckie Williams was
named to the all rookie team.

Mustangs off on the right foot

Men’s volleyball topples Waterloo in
playoff opener, advances to Final Four
By Grace Davis
Gazette Staff
“Waterloo has been our nemesis for
the past two or three years. It was
good to put an exclamation mark
on that this year.”
Mustang volleyball player Kyle
Bryce was certainly happy with his
team’s playoff performance on Sat-
urday. Western’s men’s volleyball
team advanced to the Ontario Uni-
versity Athletics Final-Four after an
intense 3-1 win over the Waterloo
Warriors at Alumni Hall. Western
will face the second-place Queen’s
Gaels in a semifinal match this Sat-
urday.
In their last meeting, Waterloo
beat Western 3-2 in what was
Waterloo’s last regular season game
of the year. The end result of the
quarter-final was definitely not
what the Warriors were shooting
for.
“It’s not what we hoped for,”
Waterloo’s head coach Chris Law-
son said. “We had what was proba-
bly our best week of practice all sea-
son, so we were hoping to perform
better than we did. A couple of our
younger guys played like younger
guys today.”
The atmosphere was buzzing in
the gym, and Western came out fir-
ing on all cylinders as they won the
first two sets 27-25 and 25-17. The
momentum shifted in the third set
with the lead constantly changing,
ending with Waterloo taking it 26-
24. Western dominated the fourth
set and finished Waterloo off, 25-12.
“I was really proud of them,”
Mustangs head coach Jim Sage said
after the game. “We knew it was
going to be a battle. Especially after
the third set we were a little wor-
ried, but I was really pleased with Corey Stanford/Gazette
the way we came out in the fourth IF OVIE PLAYED VOLLEYBALL— IT WOULD BE A LOT MORE VIOLENT.
