The New York Catastrophe: An Eyewitness Account

 
   
 
   
   
     
 

By: Brittany Price


When thinking about New York these days, most people cannot help but wonder what it is like to actually be there.  It is on the television and in the newspapers, but what is the impact of something like that when it is seen for real?  What kind of effect does it have on one's being, heart, mind, and soul?  Speaking from experience, it's an impact so different and unbelievable, it is almost unimaginable. 
I went to New York for a church conference with my youth group and my pastor, but the conference was not even on our minds.  All we really wanted to do was go to "Ground Zero."  Even now, those words chill me to the bone.  We asked ourselves questions like:
"How close can we get?"
"Will we be able to see any  thing?"
"Will I be able to handle it?"
We rode the subway as close as it

Many people like to finger-paint, but very few like to use the ink that rubs off of their newspapers to do so.  Luckily, that problem has been  solved, and The Dickinson Patriot is now printed on the high quality paper you are

 
   
 
     
  holding.  Not only does it have a new feel, but The Patriot now sports a whole slew of new articles on interesting topics. Everything from interviews to current events and polls can now be found with the turn of a page.
Layout changes abound as well, thanks to the pub
 
   
 
     
  lishing software installed on the computers last year. But The Patriot will remain true to its heritage.  We will still include all of the traditional items that you have come to know and love. 
The entire staff enjoyed creating this new issue and hopes that you will enjoy it, too.
