DECEMBER 6, 1989 I remember sitting on the couch in my living room, on a cold winter's evening, watching in shocked disbelief as image after image flashed across the screen of my T.V. Flashing lights, police holding back crowds of curious onlookers and stretchers being rushed past the camera to waiting ambulances. The numbers kept changing, but one fact remained startling clear. They were all women. Fourteen women. For days afterwards, I remember the feeling of numbness inside of me that refused to dissipate. I remember being unable to cry at first, limited instead to watching news reports as families and friends of victims, crying frozen tears, said goodbye at the funerals of the women. Fourteen women. I remember the incredible anger I felt, and still feel at Marc Lepine's denunciation of his intended vic- tims, after he had separated the men for from the women, "You're all a bunch of feminists." And then he shot them. Fourteen women. Hey, I'm a feminist. "It could have been me, and instead it was you..." (Holly Near). The words replay themselves over and over in my mind. I realize a great deal of my anger is the result of fear. Fear, as a woman, that the misogynist attitudes that created Marc Lepine's behaviour and caused him to walk into a school and murder 14 women exist today. Attitudes that place women in an inferior position to men. Attitudes that promote the use of violence to hold power and control over women. Attitudes that tolerate pornography, sexist jokes Seasons change at SDHS All fall sports have come to an end now at Seaforth District High School (SDHS) and in a week the new season will start. The boys' basketball teams and the girls vol- leyball teams are practising regular- ly now getting ready for the first game of their new season. For the boys it is Dec. 2, in London versus Saunders; with the first season game on Dec. 5. The girls do not begin for a few weeks. This past weekend the senior girls travelled to Dorchester for WOSSA. Except this year was different, the expectations were much higher from the players and the coach. The girls were ranked third heading in, which is the best ranking Seaforth Seniors have received in several years. The first game was gains' Parkhill (North Middlesex), who was the number one team. The girls played well and pulled out a closer one than the score indicated, 42-20 in favour of Parkhill. The girls went to Pool B where they played London Christian and won. However, not without injury. Tracy Janmaat had a sprained ankle and had to be carried away and Lori Perrie also had a mild sprain of her ankle. The next scheduled game was Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Although the girls lost the game, (eventually) I cannot put in words the heart that each and every one showed. With all eight of the girls dressed to face the home team of Dorchester, things didn't look that bad until the opposing team entered the gym. With twenty J girls dressed, stemma was going to play a large part in the game. The girls got off to an early lead but during the first quarter Tracy Janmaat who was playing with a taped ankle), had fate strike her day early as she went over on her other ankle. In the third quarter the home team began to cut the lead down. With ,Lori Perrie hobbling up and down the court, and number ten doing everything possible not to just scream in pain and agony, it was truly amazing they had held on so long. Halfway through the fourth quarter Dorchester took a small lead. The final score of the game was 42-39 for the Lords who had the large advantage of playing in their own gym. The coach was over- heard at the completion of the game saying, the girls did not even have 100 per cern to give but yet they gave 110 per cent. This was a game for everyone to be proud of. A special thank you goes out to Marcy McCall who played for the sake of the team even when she shouldn't have. The heart she showed was that of a true hero! I ! Cbngratulations to the whole team for a successful season! The members of the team were as follows: Sarah Johnston, Tracy Janmaat, Marcy McCall, Lori Perrie, Carly Price, Lisa Gingerich, and Sheila Litt. The girls would also like to thank Mr. Johnston for devoting his time as coach. and language implying that violence towards, or abuse of, women is ok. Friends try to alleviate my fear by saying "it was an act of an insane person, an isolated incident that has never recurred in Canada since", but still I feel afraid and I wonder... It's almost five years later and again I find myself sitting on the couch in my living room, reflecting on changes over the past five years. I wonder, how much has changed for the women and children asleep tonight in the shelter, a few blocks away from where I live? I wonder if there has been any changefor the young women I met from university last year, who told me: "Every year on Dec. 6, some 'wacko' phones the women's centre on campus and says, 'Remember the Montreal Massacre."' I wonder how much change will have occurred by the time my eight-year-old daughter is old enough to attend university. What if she decides to pursue a non-traditional career? Will she too become a target?" Stevie Cameron, a writer for the Globe and Mail, wrote an award- winning article, which appeared in print two days after the massacre.

Amanda Van Miltenburg opened the sco-'ng unassisted.

In the second half the Seaforth girls showed their excellent passing skills and checking ability to keep the Forest squad off the scoreboard. Great goaltending by Mary Finlayson and another goal by Nicole Kistner, with a pass from Amanda Van Miltenburg, was all the Ringers needed for a 3-1 final score. Sunday afternoon saw the Ringers on the ice in Goderich. Outstanding passing skills by all the girls with scoring led by Kayla Flanagan helped the Seaforth squad skate to victory. Other goals and assists by Mary Finlayson, Jenny Phillips, Suzanne Coleman and Erin Van Dooren combined with super goaltending by Monica Eckert to create a 9-2 victory. Once again non-stop checking and passing by Brette Dietz, Shannon Brooker, Nicole Kistner and Courtney Fisher showed a complete team effort.
