Fourth-year kinesiology student Pam Mailloux still plays hockey every Sunday night in a rec league in Lakeshore, and even if times get tough, her father still finds a way to cover the registration costs for her.
A tool and die maker who has experienced first-hand the ups and downs of the auto industry, he’s been supporting his daughter since she started playing both hockey and soccer when she was a little girl.
Ontario University Athletics honoured Lancer women’s hockey players Alyssa Baldin and Natalie Barrette last week, naming them among the league’s all-stars.
Baldin, a forward and Windsor’s captain, was named a first team all-star. Her 15 goals ranked second in the province, and her 28 points put her fifth in that category.
Barrette was named to the all-rookie team as a defender after a freshmen campaign that saw her finish as a top-20 scorer at that position.
Three Lancer teams advanced to the next round of the Ontario University Athletics playoffs with victories over the weekend. The men’s hockey, men’s and women’s basketball all notched conference semi-final wins.
The men’s hockey team swept past Guelph with a pair of wins. Thursday at Windsor Arena, defenceman Steve Ferry had a goal and assisted on Spencer Pommels’ game winner in a 2-1 final. In Guelph on Saturday, Ferry sent a pass to Pommels, who one-timed it for the game’s only goal. Parker Van Buskirk backstopped the Lancers in both games.
Research into the use of dandelion root extract to fight cancer is coming too late for Jennifer Ward’s father, but she hopes that in his memory, she can contribute to work to help others.
Earlier this year, Ward sent a $10,000 contribution to biochemistry professor Siyaram Pandey’s Kevin Couvillon Cancer Research Project.
Her father died of colon cancer in August 2012, says Ward, a Calgary resident. She had come across accounts of Dr. Pandey’s research while looking into treatments options for her father.
UWindsor music student Adam Iannetta, who sings baritone, is a featured performer for a series of Windsor Symphony Orchestra concerts this weekend that will introduce Windsor audiences to a unique guitar that has travelled all across Canada, celebrating the unique stories and voices that weave the nation together.
Students, faculty and staff of Windsor Law will join a walk to raise money for the homeless and the hungry on Saturday, February 23. It’s part of a national project—local monies will go to Windsor’s Downtown Mission.
Professor Larry Wilson, who serves on the mission’s board of directors, says the need for its services is growing.

If you’ve ever had a health care worker visit you at home, you may be familiar with the seemingly endless reams of paperwork they need to fill out.
James Hush has a great idea to simplify the whole process, but needs a little business savvy to pull it off. That’s why he went to the Intellectual Property Boot Camp, being held this week at the Ed Lumley Centre for Engineering Innovation.
Going to university provides a wide variety of learning experiences, but how many students get to go to Hollywood during Oscar season for research purposes?
Michael Ruffolo, a fourth-year student in the Odette School of Business, will be jetting out tomorrow with professor Vincent Georgie to spend five days in Tinseltown for the lead-up to this Sunday’s Academy Awards presentation.
