Marvelling at the great "MacNews" header at the top of this issue? That header is just one of the wonderful things that Heather does. This article was written to express just how great Heather is (also because I have nothing else to write).
Hmm. . . what else can be said about this amazing person named Heather? Other than that she is an incredible artist as well as a singer, she has many other skills. When not writing on my hands or pushing me over tables in "The Happy Room," Heather tries to avoid marrying me (she honestly does), as well as stealing my gum and pens. Oh wait, this is supposed to be a nice article. Well, I'll end by saying "Heather is good."

It seems like the March break was over before it began. One week just doesn't seem to be enough time anymore. For everybody going into grade 12 or OAC next year, take some advice and go on a vacation on March break. Here are three destinations you may want to go to.
I think everyone eventually shall discover this drug and shall get addicted. I am one that has fallen into its hands and now I can't live without it. I want to leave but it's a magnet always pulling me deeper into its forest of mindless crap . . .
Good God I have mail!

What did I tell you? It's a drug, a terrible, terrible drug.

5. Been Around The World - Puff Daddy feat. Notorius B.I.G. & Ma$e - REASON: Multi-million dollar piece of crap that turned a two minute eighties song into ten minutes of music and meaningless dialog.
4. American Pie - Madonna - REASON: She not only screwed up a classic, but combining it with a video of a bunch of sad people in front of American flags is just crap!
3. Jump - Kriss Kross - REASON: Small children jumping around in backwards clothing just can't be good!
2. Wild Wild West - Will Smith - REASON: If you've seen the video, there's basically no reason to see the film!
1. Get Down - The Backstreet Boys - REASON: They're dancing in a disco ball filled with TV sets. That's all we have to say.

You could say the highlight of my March Break trip to Greece was the Acropolis, or Agora, or Delphi, or Corinthos, or Sounion, or Mykines or even the shopping in Plaka. You could say that.
But I wouldn't.
There's nothing more beautiful on this planet than the bartender at Hotel Stanley in Karaskaki Square in Athens. Have you ever seen a Greek God? I have. And his name is Apostolis.
Free drinks, local club directions, and a smile every time: what he gave us every night. And the bonus is that he has family in Thunder Bay. There's a hope. I'm so desperate, good God, but there's a hope!
And so on and so forth . . .

On December 14, 1972, Eugene Cernan stepped off the moon and lifted off with Harrison Schmitt. In the twenty-seven years since, no humans have landed on the moon. Instead, we focussed on more conservative missions, launching many shuttle missions, but keeping them in orbit around Earth. At the same time, we have launched numerous space probes into space to visit other planets and moons in our solar system. Recently, the American space agency, NASA, suffered two consecutive failures with its Mars probes. We have reached a point where we must decide whether we want to move forward in space travel, or give it up.
There is no way we can remain in our current situation. The Russian space program is falling apart, and NASA seems close behind. With its new failures, public support for the agency is sure to fall. The one way to save our space programs, if we choose to do so, is to get the public interested in it again. We need a goal to accomplish, like Kennedy's promise to land a man on the moon and bring him safely back before the 60s were out. I would like to suggest a similar goal, of landing a human on Mars, and bringing her or him safely back to Earth before 2010.
A mission to Mars is certainly not without risk. The odds are very good that someone will lose their life in this quest. But humans have never backed away from challenges before. How many died climbing Everest? Sailing to the New World?
We have the technology necessary for such a mission. All we need to do is say, "We want to go!"
