QOates â€" who splashed across the top of the sports page last week his suggestion that Vick should not face a lifetime league ban, I couldn‘t disagree more. Time to implement ‘good conduct‘ policy Continued from page 22 Cal points out that there haven‘t been many lifetime bans in the NFL and this shouldn‘t be one either. 1 think, in reality, this is a great place to start making the NFL‘s policy on good conduct â€" if in fact they have one â€" bear some fruit. If you‘re going to get milâ€" tions of dollars and, whether you like it or not, be role modâ€" els for millions of young North Americans, then there should be a standard of reasonably good conduct to live up to while you‘re bringing in the sheaves. "Everyone in Waterloo has the right to enjoy their home and enjoy their neighbourhood," said Mary George, the acting manager of bylaw enforcement. "When student parties or any parties get out of hand, there is a definite impact on the people living in close ~proximity. We‘re taking this strict enforcement approach to ensure consistency of response and to ultiâ€" mately reduce the number of violations." George is quick to point out that this approach is not targeted solely at the returning students and that any complaint received from across the city will be handled in the same manner. During the month of September, officers will be patrolling thro;g.i:out the city with a concentrated focus on areas have historically received a higher number of complaints. ; Residents who would like to make a noise or parking complaint are asked to contact Waterloo regional pnlufl&lmmmddbrflm'm regional police will then dispatch a officer to _respond to the complaint. th thousands of postâ€"secondary students returning to Waterloo for the beginning of a new term, bylaw officers across the communiâ€" ty will be out in full force to ensure new residents conâ€" form to city bylaws. _ "This is an exciting time of year for the City of Waterloo and we welcome the students and the energy they bring to our community," said Waterloo Mayor Brenda Halloran. "We know that some students may get carried away, though, and behave in a way that infringes on their neighbours. It‘s important for new members of our community to know that inappropriâ€" ate behaviour won‘t be tolerated." ' When city bylaw officers respond to noise, nuisance or other complaints, they will be taking a strict enforceâ€" ment approach to all calls. If residents are found to be in violation of city bylaws, they can expect to receive a ticket for the offence. Residents who are violating the noise bylaw, for example, will receive a $300 ticket. _ <"We know that some students may get carried away, though, and behave in a way that infringes on their neighbours." City bylaw officers will be out looking for offenders Mayor of Waterloo Cal‘s pointing out not many have faced the lifetime ban is just proof to me that it‘s about time the most watched sport in God Bless America does in fact punish, and severely, those who break the rules outâ€" side their profession. Good for NFL boss Roger Goodell for finally doing something that might actually make other NFLers think twice about their conduct, both on and off the field. If you do the crime, prepare to do the time, or the suspension, or the forâ€" feiture of pay, or whatever. And yes, l know, murders and other unspeakable crimes are committed outside the world of pro sports and many guilty people get little more than a slap on the wrist, but that‘s in another jurisâ€" diction where 1 have no control or input.

If he hasn‘t socked away some money for a rainy day then he should have had a better financial planner. If they don‘t let him back in the NFL he could always come up and play in the Canadian Football League.
