David Bauer was an inspirational hockey coach, a caring educator and, some have said, a genius, but despite the beliefs of those who played hockey under him, he was not immortal. Bauer died last week at the Goderich hospital, losing his final stand with pancreatic cancer. Although he was known as Father Bauer Lucknow Sent l,_Wednesday, November 16, 1988 --Page 3 Rev. David Bauer, died in Goderich hospital • from page 1 member of the audience to ask him if they were to vote for him and if the major '.y of his constituents were against free i ri t would he cross the floor of the ommons. Cardiff replied he did not feel a member should cross the floor because the voters elected the member from a certain party and that would mean they accepted that party's policies. He said that in the case of a member wanting to cross the floor, that member should resign and a byelection be called and he should run as a new candidate. In response to a question on the U.S. Om- nibus Act, he explained Canada's exemp- tion from the 180 point protectionist bill. To refute Duiop's accusation, he added the free trade bill allows Canada to process its natural resources giving the country more of an advantage. New Democratic Party candidate Tony McQuail told the audience it doesn't mat- ter which party, Conservatives or Liberals get into power because both are backed by "big business." "Only Ed. Broadbent is independent of big business. You have the choice to be a country or an economic satellite of the United States. "The Liberal party and the Conservative party t trade speeches... policy flip flop," he McQuail also str sled the agricultural community ought to be able to make a de- cent living and get a fair return on their investment. "The New Democratic party have pro- grams which work for you, not just pro- mises you the dream of someday..." he said. Disagrees with farm aid package Christian Heritage Party candidate Tom Clark briefly disagreed with the Conser- vative government's recent $860 million program to aid the farmers. He said, "It is irresponsible, 10 days before an election to try and buy the farmers' votes, it's not right and I don't think that the farmers will buy it either." On the priority list for the Christian Heritage Party is a law banning abortion. "80,000 citizens are murdered each year. We are committing genocide. We have to protect the unborn, or the diseased in hospital or the infirmed and aged « i fl l t. next," he said. "Life is sacred, given my by G only hod has the right toke it away. goveinment has the right to sanctio.i ; .JJ1 tion," he said. Canada's role in Star Wars program In answer to a three part question from the floor concerning the Star Wars pro- gram, nuclear free Arctic and the nuclear first strike issue, Cardiff said the Star Wars program was in actuality a space station to be used as a monitoring device. Canada's role in the program was building the components for the station, he said. Regarding the Arctic being a nuclear free zone, he agreed with making it nuclear free but said nuclear submarines would be permissible. He was in favor, as were the other can- didates, of attempting to reduce the nuclear stockpiles and working with the United Nations to avoid a possible first strike situation developing. In regards to the abortion issue only the NDP candidate McQuail said women should have the choice as to whether or not they wish to be a mother. Dunlop said he does not believe in abor- tion on request, except is cases such as rape and incest. Cardiff responded to the .abortion issue by saying he is pro-life and feels legislation is needed. In their closing statements, each can- didate stressed what they felt was most important. McQuail stressed, "Let's not make the same flip flop mistake. We have to start setting up programs which will stay in the country and in favor of giving the farmers after he was or adined as a Catholic priest, it could very well have been for the fact that he gave birth to Canada's first na- tional hockey team. Bauer was born in Waterloo on Iv)vember 2, 1924 and r'arne to the atten- tion of the hockey world w Pn he played as a fiery winger at St. Michael's in Toronto a decent return for their labors." CHP candidate Clark said Canada is in real trouble morally and if the government can'tdeal with pornography how can they deal with the economy and the deficit. "I am against free trade, and I need you to stop it. You must vote against free trade," said Dunlop in his closing speech. The federal election will be hdld Mon- day, Nov. 21. S and as a member of the Memorial Cup championship team from Oshawa in 1943. Destined fora role as a star in the Na- tional Hockey League, Bauer chose in- stead a calling in the priesthood. The Boston Bruins, who held his contract, reluctantly released Bauer from their negotiating list in 1945, settling instead for his older brother Bobby. The elder Bauer is famous for playing right wing ori the old Kraut line with Milt Schmidt and Woody Dumart. While Father Bauer gave up fame and fortune in the NHL, he certainly did not give up hockey. Following his ordination, Bauer returned to his former high 'school as a teacher and coach. Behind the St. Mike's bench he guided the team to the 1961 Memorial Cup. In 1962, Bauer's dream of seeing a truly Canadian national team came to reality. At the annual meeting of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, he made a presentation to establish a permanent na- tional team. From there the legend of this great man began to form. The Bauer philosophy was relatively simple: to combine sports and education. His dreeam was to restore Canada's inter- national hockey honour and that dream was fulfilled each and every team he iced a team in international competition. Father David Bauer will not soon be forgotten. At this year's Winter Olympics in Calgary, teams from all over the world played in an arena bearing his name. Canada and the entire world of organiz- ed hockey lost a dear friend last week. GIFTS FROM Santa's Workshop LE!
