Top o’ the morning to ye!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone! Don’t
you just love this holiday? I do. Especially
here on the Lower Mainland where our
fabulous Celtic Fest features one of North
America’s fastest-growing St. Patrick’s Day
parades. And it’s not just the luck of the
Irish that we have to thank, it’s also the
luck of the Scottish, and the Chinese, and
all the other communities and cultures
that worked together to make the parade
such a success on March 13. This year,
over 50,000 people gathered along the
parade route in Vancouver, and at least

pubs and restaurants afterwards. What a
blast!

But don’t feel too badly if you missed out
on the parade. After all, that was just a
practice run for the real deal on Match 17.

banishing snakes, however, take a wee
moment out to read your Other Press.
News Editor Brandon Ferguson has
whipped up another knee-slapper of a
“News to Amuse, Peruse, and Confuse,”
the opinions section talks—and rocks—
youth votes, A&E helps you come down
from St. Paddy’s Day with a fine selection
of Irish cinematic treats, Features features
Tennessee Williams, and Sports guys
Darren and Travis Paterson tackle the
issues of shootouts, slam-dunk competi-
tions, and home-run derbies.

Before you go, in case I don’t see you on
Thursday, pull up a pint of the black stuff
and join me in this traditional St. Patrick’s
Day toast right now: “Saint Patrick was a
gentleman, who through strategy and
stealth, drove all the snakes from Ireland,
here’s a toasting to his health. But not too
many toastings, lest you lose yourself and
then, forget the good Saint Patrick, and
see all those snakes again. Beannachtam
na Feile Padraig! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!”

All other submissions should be forwarded to the appropriate
section editor. Please include your name, phone number/email
address, and word count, and submit via email as an MS Word.doc
attachment to the attention of the appropriate editor.
