Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff The student population feels a little more at ease following a twoâ€"day inquest held last week investigating the Sept. 6 bus accident which claimed the life of a 19â€"yearâ€"old Wilfrid Laurier student, says WLU‘s student union president. Matt Certosimo was pleased with the fact that all the quesâ€" tions raised prior to the invesâ€" tigation were answered, alâ€" though the answers came too late for Brigitte Bouckaert, a biology major and residence don at WLU, who died following a party at Bingeman Park. ‘"The inquest brought out a lot of the facts that we all needed to know . Students feel a little more at ease now that they can make their own conclusions," said Cer tosimo. Brigitte Bouckaert Melodee Martinuk Chronicle Staff A major blow has been struck in the cause of the Waterloo identity. â€" 5 P e Yup, thanks to the efforts of local resident Betty Gardner, Waterloo will get an entry â€" a separate entry, not simply a mention as an appendage of Kitchener â€" in the next edition of Mel Hurtig‘s The Canadian Encyclopedia. "Waterloo has been discovered," said Gardner, a regular contributor to the Chronicle‘s Letters section. | Her campaign began in September, after the discovery that our fair city had been lumped with Kitchener in Hurtig‘s book, which offers information about Canadian communities large and small. This "ultimate insult" prompted a letter to the Chronicle in which Gardner protested, "As a city, we just don‘t count. 3 Rel 7 .

Findings bring some relief to university community ‘"There‘s no reason it always has to be Kitchener hyphen Waterloo â€" it bugs me to see it ... it bugs me that people don‘t care," said Gardner. "Waterioo is no longer second, except in population. Hang it, the city is flourishing. We‘ve got the universities, our own city council and a superâ€"duper mayor. I feel it‘s our responsibility to put Waterloo on the map." Don‘t fool around with Waterloo! WLU president Dr. John Weir thought the inquest was a good airing and was pleased that the rumor of drunken students causâ€" ing the accident was proven wrong. "I‘m very glad it‘s over. Lookâ€" ing back I have a great deal of empthy and sympathy for both the parents of Brigitte and the bus driver who was involved," said Weir. Both Certosimo and Weir were pleased with the recommendaâ€" tions made for the Kitchener recreational complex and said they would do whatever they could to make sure future events would be void of such tragedy. ‘‘Details that haven‘t been looked at in the past will be looked at in the future. If anyâ€" thing positive came out of this whole thing it‘s that we now know what to take extra precauâ€" tions against so it never happens again," said Certosimo. The recommendations were made mainly for the benefit of Bingeman Park but it was sugâ€" gested that bus schedules should be included by the university as part of their publicity packages for events. Certosimo said a Presidential Advisory Committee will now look at the results of the inquest and make some decisions based upon them. Prior to the inquest, WLU had already put a new rule into effect for offâ€"campus events which inâ€" cludes having a leader for every 25 students and preâ€"registration requirement to establish the size of the crowd Mark Bryson Chronicle Staff Nineâ€"yearâ€"old Wendy Nicholl has never been directly touched by war, and knows very little of the sheer hell that faced soldiers daily as they fought so she could be happy, but she does know that Remembrance Day is imporâ€" tant. It‘s important, said. Wendy, because it‘s the only day you get to appreciate the people who died. Side by side with many who have been touched by war, Wendy and 11â€"yearâ€"old brother Tony were present at the frigid Waterloo cenotaph Monday to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies. For Wendy it was a chance to remember people she didn‘t know, but for many it was a chance to say thanks to old friends. "I‘m here to remember the people and war and thank them for dying for us," she said. "I came out to remember my former comrades and thank them for what they did for the freedom of the world," said 49â€"yearâ€"old Sargeantâ€"atâ€"arms Bob Arnott, a Scotsman who fought in Malaya and Korea "I‘m very glad to see all the young people out this year. It‘s nice to see they still appreciate what has been done for them," he added. For Royal Canadian Legion branch 530 president Len Dunke. a soldier who served six years during the Second World War including the last five overseas, it was a chance to thank the people we owe for having a free Canada today. ‘"What we like to see is every one wearing a poppy. It doesn‘t matter whether you steal it or buy it, it‘s just important to know that people still remember," said Dunkel. ‘"When you see this many fellas out on a day like today, you have to say people do remember." Despite his ‘happiness with the large number of people who paid respect at Monday‘s service, Dunkel was also very upset about the "raw deal" veterans were Young and old, they paused to remember Chronicle Staff At least six of Waterloo North‘s 11 delegates will be sitting in the Grossman camp when Ontario Tories in Toronto this weekend to elect a new party leader. Supporting former treasurer Larry Grossâ€" man in his bid to become the Tory Leader are: Lynne Woolstencroft, the PC candidate deâ€" feated by Liberal Herb Epp in May‘s election; Peter Woolstencroft; former alderman Glen Wright; Ursula Scherfer; Pat Whitney; Greg Cassidy. Backing Dennis Timbrell are John Kendall and youth delegate, WLU student Arlene Martin, while riding association president Seven Finch remains undecided. Women delegates Rosemary Smith and Nancy McCreary could not be reached for comment. The concensus among Grossman backers is that with his ‘*energy," %enthusiasm" and "vision of the province‘"‘ Grossman is the only candidate of the three running able to rebuild the provincial party and return Ontario Tories to power. "Of all the people he‘s the one most capable in terms of leading the party against David Peterson and the Liberal government. He can provide an attack on the government and an alternative to the present government which (Dennis) Timbrell and (Allan) Pope can‘t," explained Peter Woolstencroft, a director of the Waterloo North PC association. Over half local PCs sit in Grossman camp Brad Davidson, pipe major from the 80th Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, put on a stirring performance during Monday‘s Remembrance Day Service at the Waterloo Cenotaph.

"I find him to be the kind of man that will garner a lot of votes in Ontario, giving the progressive Conservatives a better chance of winning the next election," said Scherfer, a Waterloo lawyer. Association Secretary Pat Whitney applauds Grossman for his concern with women‘s issues and his past performance in government, while Lynne Woolstencroft admires his "fightâ€" ing spirit‘" and ‘"openness to new ideas." A Waterloo lawyer, Kendall is going against the tide locally in his support of Timbrell because he feels Timbrell is the only conâ€" tender who "realizes why we lost the election in May â€" that we‘ve lost touch with the peoâ€" ple." He added that Timbrell is the only candidate who has offered specific answers to question, "and gives his true feelings whether it‘s what we want to hear or not." Finch will wait until the convention itself to decide his vote, largely because he maintains that none of the three leadership hopefuls have provided the specific answers he wants to hear. "I want to know specifics on a lot of their general policies, such as how they are going to elect unite the party, what they‘re going to do about education, what will they do for the economy of Ontario for the next five to 10 years. I haven‘t had these answers yet," said Finch.
