Editorial

Why is it that people who write editorials whine?

I haven’t been doing this for very long, but I’ve
noticed that often the whole point of the Editor’s
column is to whine about how they got cheated out of
that which they deserved,(but they really didn’t), and
how bad their life sucks. So, today, I would like to
whine about people who whine.

So many people I talk to whine continuously about
their teachers. My advice: get over it. I cannot see
how most people are totally unable to live with their
teacher for the one semester that it will take them to
learn what they have to. Here’s a question for all of
you. What are you going to do when you get out into
the real world and have to work with somebody you
dislike?

Then, on the opposite end, we have the people who
whine about the system. So, what do we do? We
change the system. What do they do? They whine
‘about the system. I think everybody out there can see

- where that one leads.

But above all, there are those among us who
complain about this paper. This is something that I
have never understood. The quality of Over The Edge.
has come a long way since last year. We have made
efforts to please the major portion of our readership.
So, what’s the problem? The problem is with the way
that these complaints are being voiced.

People come into the office and tell us what is wrong
with the paper. They usually are impromptu and rude
to the staff,(which is volunteering to do this, we might
add...), and we are unable to properly understand
where the problems lie. Therefore I would like to
propose that complaints be brought in writing, either
to the office or sent to our address. This will allow us
to consider your opinions and even look into
implementing them. I am not against change, but I
have trouble receiving the information when you don’t
provide it in some sort of tangible form.

So, with that, I’ll stop MY whining and hope to hear
from you in the weeks to come. Remember, we are
your newspaper and we want to hear from you.

Recipe by Charlotte McLean

Chicken Veggie Delite

This is a good recipe if you are having a few people over and you look
in your fridge and you think it is impossible to create anything. Well
do not despair! This is an easy-throw-all-in-a-pan meal that will
please every guest.

Ingredients Preheat oven to 375F (Serves four)

4 pieces of boneless chicken (you can buy chicken breast and make chicken breast

 yourself...it’s a lot cheaper!)

2 or 3 potatoes

2 or 3 carrots

2 apples (red, cut pieces into orange size pieces)
1/2 cup of grated cheese (orange)

1/4 cup of apple juice

some butter or margarine

Arrange the thawed chicken in an edged, slightly oiled pan that can go |

in the oven and put in the oven. Meanwhile, peal the potatoes (cut in
small slices) and carrots (cut into sticks) and boil them ‘in the same pot.
Saves on ‘washing! Let them boil for about 2 minutes so they are still
hard. Drain and place in with the chicken. Place in apples. Pour the
apple juice on chicken, veggies, and apples. Sprinkle the grated cheese
when the chicken is almost done and take out when the cheese has
melted and the chicken is done. You may want to add more apple juice
or water so the chicken stays moist. Serve right from the pan! It looks
beautiful! Look at the colours! Who could resist?! Voila! You have a
meal! You can add any veggie really, be creative. This is a what-ever-
you-have meal and it will taste great! Enjoy! Only a pot and a pan to
clean!
