Editorial 1: Remembering September 11

The day started out like any other — I woke up (sort of) and stum-

bled down the stairs to grab a bowl of

Count Chocula cereal. I turned on the television, hoping to catch the latest news out of the Maple Leafs' training camp, but noticed that most stations were carrying a live report from New York City.

It was believed that a small commuter-plane had accidentally crashed into one of the World Trade Center's twin-towers. The bewildered news anchors did their best to make sense of the story, but struggled to find reliable eye-witness reports. I watched for a few minutes, wondering what exactly I was witnessing, when suddenly a second plane entered the frame and struck the second tower. The cereal abruptly lost its taste.

It wasn't long before images of the Pentagon began to appear on the screen. Then pictures from rural Pennsylvania. Obviously I'll never remember what happened in a mean- ingless hockey training camp that day — and obviously I'll always remember

the events that occurred in the United States.

Over the next few weeks there is going to be a lot of talk about remembrance. Remembering the vic- tims of the attack, those who lost their lives, and those who lost loved-ones. Remembering the end of a North America where immunity from terror- ism and violence was taken for grant- ed. Remembering a time when Count Chocula going soggy was the basis for a bad day, and not a horrendous attack on an innocent populace.

When we do stop to remem- ber, it's important that we don't get caught up in flag waving and public spectacles. Let us not simply focus on the events of last September, but on events that occur daily in the Middle East — events that occur daily in Eastern Europe — and Africa — and South-East Asia — and countless other places. Events that occur far too often all over the world.

Matt Stewart, Editor-in-Chief

Letter From the Production Manager

Corrections, apologies, etc... Please realize that this issue is the first of the year. It may not be perfect... there may be a few small errors, maybe some large. Hopefully not. We’ve (I’ve) tried my best to get it looking right, but to be frank (or blunt, if you will), too much time was spent on the inter- net. It is beyond me how any work gets done when there are such quality web pages such as Hot-or-Not and The Naked News. And not to mention 20 ounce coffees below us (me) and a bar down the hall. And windows. What a novelty. But somehow this paper was made. Don’t ask me how.
