Wolodumyr (Walter) Stadnick later nicknamed "Nurget" was born to Andrew and
Valentina Stadnick on August 3 1952 at St. Joseph's Hospital. Though
he grew up on the rough and tumble streets of Hamilton, people who remember him
as a child say he was intelligent, quiet, polite, and generally well behaved.
As he grew to be a teen, these characteristics took a turn for the worst.
He started to act out, seemed impossible to motivate and was always found in
the smoking area at school. He was known by the cops, and made his friends by
dealing drugs, which is also how he got his nickname. By the end of high
school, he had two motorcycles and a lot of clothing and jewelry though he
never had a job. While most other kids leaving high school were working on
their future career paths, Walter and his friends just hung out and enjoyed
their life. There whole group of friends had bikes and were known as "bikers".
If anyone wanted to join or maintain within the group, they had to have a bike.
After no time, the group would ride together, dress alike, and even have
regular meetings and were then officially named the Cossacks. Walter was
arrested in 1971 for a small possession of hash. He was sentenced to 4 months
in jail and put on two years probation.
