EDITOR’S MESSAGE

This month is Black History, an extremely important time in this world, this country and this campus. It is a month I always look forward to as I’m sure many of you do as well. The most important message this month is the right to dream. We all have the right to dream and no one can keep us from achieving our dreams but ourselves. I have written an article about my own experience in regards to black history and I hope you will appreciate it as well as Jordane's, Shenda's and Ashia’s pieces.

This has been an extremely stressful time on campus (especially if you had me pressuring you for an article) but remember why we are here. We are here because we are actively pursuing our dreams and that is something to be admired and upheld. Focus on the dream not the assignment or test. Hopefully this issue encourages you to strive for your dreams by acknowledging and praising the amazing people that have gone before us. They have paved a way and now we can build on their accomplishments.God bless!

CAMPUS MINISTRIES CONVENTIONJACQUI MCCARTY

On the (very early) morning of February 5, a handful of CUC's Campus Min-istries team departed for the Calgary airport, soon to be immersed in the beautiful warmth of San Diego. The purpose of the trip was to attend the North-American Division Campus Ministries Convention—to meet, greet and exchange ideas with other team leaders from different Adventist Uni-versities. School representatives from Walla Walla, Southern, Southwestern, Newbold and other universities met together to share similar passions and ideas. Besides soaking in the sun and visiting the beautiful beaches of Califor-nia, our team was able to be inspired and gather ideas for how to better serve the spiritual life of our campus.

SUSTAINABILITY SUMMITBY CHLOE KINGSFIELD

This year was the fifth annual Sus-tainability Summit at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. It is the time of year where stu-dents from all over Alberta come together to meet and learn new ideas, presented by various speakers who promote a brighter future for us all! The summit is organized by the sustainabil-ity office at UoA. The Sustainability office is a department teeming full of passionate people working hard to build a sustainable institution, communities and to promote awareness. The result is a space for young adults to come to-gether who care about these issues, share their ideas, excitement, concerns, and hopes, and provides an opportunity to learn about rele-vant issues, new technologies, and even career options related to sustainability! Every year the Summit focuses on a specific topic; this year’s topic was on sus-tainable food systems, and how our current methods of agriculture is not sustainable eco-nomically and the need to be revamped. One

particular highlight was a lecture given was by a young farmer named Takota Coen who ex-plained how sustainable practices can be ap-plied to farming. Takota and his family special-ize in permaculture farming which is a branch of farming that integrates the natural growth processes and plant species of biotic commu-nities into farming practices. This is different from what is called monoculture. The fields we see all around us in Alberta during the spring-fall are examples of monoculture; vast crops of a single species of plant. Permaculture mixes many species of plants and promotes the presence of plants and animals natural to the area which ultimately creates a healthier grow-ing environment. Takota’s farm has developed an organized system that mixes many plants together in the same area. They believe that nothing should be wasted. Fruit that falls off the trees and starts to spoil is fed to livestock and chickens so that the nutrients are used and put back into the soil. The chickens play

an important role in their farm. They are free range, acting in place of both pesticides and herbicides as they eat insects and weeds. Ta-kota believes that while this practice is, at the moment, not conducive to large scale farming, technologies may be developed to help in har-vesting to make permaculture a viable option for everyone. Other highlights include the delicious and health vegetarian meals provided, social gatherings, games, contests and drum circle. Not to mention, transportation and housing are provided and are FREE! I would really en-courage people to go next year. It is an awesome learning and networking opportunity! If you have any questions or are interested in going next year, please contact either myself, Chloe at ckingsfi@cauc.ca or Chris at cvillaco@cauc.ca.

ON OUR JOURNEY HOMEBY CODRINA BASTON

The CUC choral union members slowly filed themselves onto the large tour bus Friday morning, February 13. Since most of the choir was embarking on the tour to Saskatchewan the large bus filled quickly and the overflow of choir members boarded a smaller bus that was going to be following closely behind the larger bus. After about 6 hours of driving through frozen, desolate land, we finally arrived at our destination—Saskatoon. Nothing spells choir tour more than church soup and sandwich suppers. And that is exactly what we were greeted by at our first church. The choir squeezed its 70+ members into the tiny sanctuary of the Mount Royal Seventh Day Adventist church and deliv-ered a full concert repertoire. Afterwards, all members were billeted out to different homes where we would stay for the next two nights. I was blessed with wonderful companions and we were so excited to be spending our first night together. Our hosts were absolutely wonderful people and with a basement to ourselves, my friends and I quickly got ready for bed and then stayed up talking for most of the night. You know how girls get. The next day we headed to Pinecrest SDA church in Saskatoon and sang for the main service. Our voices filled the sanctuary with songs of joy, love, and hope of our Lord’s soon return. The songs that we sang were introduced with readings from the Psalms and a heartfelt, powerful sermonette was delivered by choir pastor, Josh Bradburn. After a delicious potluck the choir headed to a church planting ceremony. A new SDA church in Saskatoon was being inaugurated and the choir had the wonderful opportunity to sing a few songs with the Mayor of Saskatoon and Chief of Police of Saskatoon in the audience. The next day the CUC choral union was privileged with the opportunity to sing at St.John’s Cathedral in downtown. A few of our choir pieces were incorporated into the Anglican service that Sunday morning. At the end of the service, the choir moved into the choir loft where we were able to sing the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah with the magnification of ideal acoustics and a powerful organ. The angelic acoustics in the choir loft behind the podium allowed our voices to blend majestically and resonate throughout the entire cathedral. The final Hallelujah echoed through the Cathedral and the choir was applauded with awe and enthusiasm. After our impressive performance the choir loaded the buses once more and continued to our final destination—Regina. By that evening many voices were hoarse and throats sore, but we pushed through it all to deliver another amazing concert. The choir’s balanced sound and perfect harmonies combined with powerful lyrics of songs such as the Blessed Hope, No time, and It Is Well With My Soul stirred hearts at all our concerts. It’s undeniable the power music can have. Sharing the hope and love of Jesus through song is such a blessing. One of my favourite parts about going on choir tours is looking out into the audience and seeing teary eyes. Its so rewarding when you can witness others enjoying the melodies and lyrics as much as you do. Those goose bump induc-ing chords and melodies make time feel as though it has stopped, and sometimes that’s exactly what we need. When life gets unbearable and stressful and you have three midterms in one day or a term paper due, God is there. All will be well with Him by your side and you can sing with all your heart, “It is well with my soul”.

BY SEAN TODD Its 5:00am, you’re waking up. The alarm won’t stop crying out, trying to let you know that if you don’t hurry up then you are going to let your whole team down. Bleary eyed you wander around your room, hoping you have everything. As you walk out the door there is a sting in your mind, the panic, wondering if you forgot your uniform, or if that toothbrush you always forget is packed. 6:30 am and you are now on the bus. The first hour of the ride fades away in a haze of colours and dreams a school is right outside the window. Waking up, your heart starts to pump. It’s coming. Stepping outside the bus you help unload the trailer, moving all of the equipment into the school’s gymnasium. A bell rings, you know that soon the gym will be full of spectators, observers, waiting to see why you’re there, wanting to be impressed. Lining up at the back of the mats it commences. Music playing, people moving. You find yourself carrying three peo-ple on your shoulders, and then flying through the air while cheers ring out below you. Things

are getting more and more intense until final-ly there is a big finish, it seems that everything you do results in a resounding cheer until final-ly, exhausted you wave as the crowd claps, and it’s over. For now. Six more shows are to come. This was the beginning of the Acronaires Win-ter tour. During our last reading break, from Feb 13-17 the Acronaires drove up north and west. Putting on a show in Beaumont, two in Edson, one in Jasper and three in Leduc. Our first night was in Edson, sleeping on the floor of the local SDA church. We put together a vespers program for them that was mainly comprised of skits and testimonials, church the next day was also organised by the Acronaires with Ben-jamin Jr. Amoah presenting the sermon. Satur-day night we performed in a local high school and the show was advertised for the whole town. There was a strong turn out with a few hundred. Sleeping on the church floor again, we were sure to be very thankful to the Edson church for letting us use their church two nights in a row. Then we were off to Jasper. Sunday was

a relaxed day. No shows, just relaxation, you could walk the town, visit a recreational com-plex, go for a swim, or maybe a short climb on their bouldering wall. Sunday gave us time to recuperate before another show on Monday. But this is where the story gets inter-esting. During the show on Monday, one of our flier’s (the team members that get tossed in the air) didn’t travel as far as she usually does for a certain move and as she came down her catch-ing group couldn’t quite get to her in time. They got her waist but her upper back and head col-lided with the floor. She managed to walk off the floor, but once off she was down, the instant the show was done we rushed her to the hos-pital, where our entire team stayed until 10pm, before starting out four hour drive to Leduc. After 5 or less hours of sleep we were up again for the three last shows. The winter tour was ex-citing, relaxing, suspenseful, in the end the girl who hit the ground is fine, and the team returns to practicing once again, looking forward to our next big performance, our next big thrill.

ACROSN HE OADO T R

Hear our voices, hear our cries.

It’s the voices of our children,frivolously exploring the streets,playing to the beats of their, oh so beautiful souls, But still wondering if they’re next

It’s the voices of our young women,Afraid to walk these dark streets,Wondering if the pigment of her skin and the coils on her head will cost her that job opportunity, that relationship, that service

It’s the voices of our young men,Afraid of being in the right place at the wrong time,With the presence or the absence of light Not dismissing his fears But alerting his senses To the prejudicial thoughts made by the “Justice” system

It’s the voices of our mothersWaiting for the return of her sonAfraid, with each phone call and door knockThat play on her anxious heart strings

It’s the voices of our fathersHoping the examples they have laid downare enough to keep that cop from pulling the triggerOr that man from raping their daughter

It’s the voices, voices of disparity and hopeMarching down these streets of “Selma”As they fearfully watch history repeat itself

It’s the voices of Kings and QueensFighting for their lost voices TiredCrying out freedom, peace, equality.

It’s your voice, it’s my voice, it’s our voice.

Hear Our VoicesBY SHENDA CHIMWASO

ILLUSTRATION BY JACQUI MCCARTY

Black History Month commemorates many influential black people from the past and present. More often than not, we hear about American’s who have fought for freedom and equality; who have brought awareness to the persecution and discrimination that the black community endured then and still now. The fact of the matter is, Canada has had some pretty amaz-ing women who fought with the same tenacity and passion for freedom as the Americans did. They accomplished some pretty impressive things. So, here I am to introduce them and to “wow” you with their stories.

Carrie Best This incredible woman is an inspiration for everyone; the poster child for never letting society determine what you can and can’t do. In the 1940s, Best and her son were arrested at a theatre for not sitting in the designated area for blacks. She founded the first newspaper that was owned and published by Black citizens called The Clarion in 1946, in Nova Scotia. Carrie Best even had a radio show called The Quiet Corner that aired for 12 years, and was broadcasted throughout the maritimes. She had a “Human Rights” column in the Pictou Advocate newspaper until 1975. Her list of ac-complishments goes on and on! Here are a few more just so you can see how awesome she is:

Member of the Order of Canada in 1974Awarded the Queen Elizabeth Medal in 1977Officer of the Order of Canada in 1979Inducted into the Nova Scotia Black Wall of Fame in 1980Received the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission Award in 1991

Some Amazing Women You Should KnowBY TALIA SMITH

BLACK HISTORY

LOST, HAS BEEN FOUND: STRAYED,

HAS WANDERED BACK AND STOLEN,

IS BEING RETURNED.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary This prominent woman in Canadian history had a plethora of tal-ents and passions: she was a lawyer, teacher, lecturer, suffragist, and a publisher during the Civil War and after it. When refugees would arrive in Canada via the Underground Railroad, she would teach the children how to read and pass out anti-slavery information. Cary “was the first woman in Canada to become a publisher, start-ing the Provincial Freeman in 1853”. In a nut shell, she was Wonder Woman.

Let’s be honest, Black Canadian women were, and still are, some of the most influential people Canada has ever seen.

EVERY GREAT DREAM BEGINS WITH A DREAMER. ALWAYS REMEMBER, YOU HAVE WITHIN YOU THE STRENGTH, THE PA-TIENCE, AND THE PASSION TO REACH FOR THE STARS TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

Harriet Tubman Harriet Tubman wasn’t Canadian but she lead slaves from the South to Canada to be free. Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland. She led hundreds of slaves to freedom via the Underground Rail-way, eventually “being known as the ‘Moses’ of her people”. Angry slave owners put up posters offering rewards for her capture, and yet, even with that target on her, she continued to help slaves escape to Canada. Tubman later became one of the leaders in the Aboli-tionist Movement. Did I mention that she was a spy as well as nurse for the Union Forces in South Carolina during the Civil War? Yeah, this woman was a force not to be trifled with.

Portia White Portia White was a vocalist who began her career at a Baptist Church in Halifax. White would support her musical career (before she hit it big) by teaching in rural black schools in the Halifax area. She got her big break in Toronto, which lead her to perform in New York city, landing her international success. White performed over 100 concerts and sang for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. And you thought Beyonce was good.

Black History MonthBY JORDANE SMITH

Growing up in Ontario and attending a French immersion school where I was one of the few black students in my class meant that February was the time of year when an unusual amount of atten-tion was placed on me and the few like me. Though I felt different year round in February I not only felt it but I was reminded of why. At school Black History Month was always a point of tension, on one hand the black students were pleased to have a chance to learn about all of the contributions our people have made to Canadian History on the other hand some others did not understand why they were forced to learn about ‘Black History’. They often asked questions like ‘How come there is no white history month?’ as if we had not spent the entire year learning about ‘white history.’ However the tension I felt at school was always released at church. Every year my church would have a Black History Month celebration, as a family we took the time to remember our past of dealing with deep issues, issues that continue to plague our communities. Not only did we celebrate but we took the time to educate, in fact I learned more at church than at school. My church instilled within me a sense of pride and duty that motivated me and helped to shape me into who I am today. When I came to CUC my freshman year there was not a Black History Month. It had been re-placed by multi-cultural month. Even though I understood the sentiment, I could not hide the fact that I felt insulted and un-important. I felt the same tension that I felt growing up in school but worse because CUC was not just my school but it was also supposed to be my church, and I wasn’t sure where I fit or if I fit into the CUC community. I felt awkward and marginalized especially during worship because the customs and style of music was so drastically different from what I was used to. I was especially hurt to see people get up and walk out whenever the ‘black praise team’ would lead out. However believe it or not it was this experience that taught me what Black History Month is truly about. During the Civil Rights movement Canadians and Americans fought not just for equality but for integration. In other words we did not just want the right to be treated the same but we wanted the right to be together. Therefore BLACK HISTORY MONTH IS NOT ABOUT CELEBRATING ONE CULTURE OVER THE OTHERS, IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT REMEMBERING SLAVERY AND IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT LEARNING ABOUT NATHANIEL DETT AND MARY ANN CHADD. IT IS ABOUT ALL PEOPLE LEARNING TO DO WHAT OUR PREDECESSORS FOUGHT FOR, DIED FOR, AND DREAMED ABOUT. IT IS ABOUT US LEARNING TO TRULY BE TOGETHER. Being together is hard and sometimes it can be tense and feel awkward because we have unresolved issues and preconceived notions that repel us from one another. However I am thankful for the measures that have been taken to further CUC into becom-ing a place where healing can begin to take place and ‘the dream’ can become a reality.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH ...IS ABOUT ALL PEOPLE LEARNING TO DO WHAT OUR PREDECESSORS FOUGHT FOR, DIED FOR, AND DREAMED ABOUT. IT IS ABOUT

US LEARNING TO TRULY BE TOGETHER.

Whatever Your Normal IsBY REBEKAH MAURICE

Tylenol has a slogan “Get back to normal, what-ever your normal is” the premise being that what is “normal” is subjective. I come from a mixed racial family yet physically I look Cau-casian, simply put my maternal grandmother was an immigrant from the Caribbean island of Trinidad, my grandfather was of Irish descent so my mother passes as Spanish and my father is French Canadian so we, Rachel and I, pass as white. Only my grandmother’s branch of the family got lighter so we’re the only white cous-ins on my mother’s side. Even though I come from a mixed family nothing ever seemed odd to me growing up, no one ever told me outright “you’re white, Grammy is black” and we were never treated differently by our cousins so my ethnicity was never something I thought much about. Hon-estly I grew up rather idealistically, and it wasn’t because I lived an ideal life, my parents divorced while I was young and I had a lot of lasting is-sues as a result, including having to go through years of speech therapy because at a young age I effectively shut down and forgot how to speak. BUT EVEN THOUGH I WAS A TROUBLED KID WHO GOT SUSPENDED FROM CHURCH SCHOOL I GREW UP NEVER THINKING THAT THERE WAS ANY REASON THAT I COULDN’T SUCCEED, LEAST OF ALL BECAUSE OF MY RACE OR GENDER. I don’t know why I did, but I did. I thought that those things didn’t mat-ter anymore. I thought that racism and sexism were obsolete, that they were things of the past, but that reality was shattered for me when I came face to face with my own differences and honestly when I just woke up and started paying more attention. As I grew up I had to lose that naivety and take more notice. Growing up I went to a predominant-ly black church in Toronto, everyone knew my family and I never had to explain anything. I never had to define my ethnicity so it wasn’t a

concern. In high school I started meeting peo-ple who didn’t know my background and people are curious, I started explaining and it became easiest to just carry around my “explanation photo” the one on the right, its easier to explain visually the gradient that resulted in two little white “bambinos” as my mom calls us. When I came out to CUC I met a whole populous of people who didn’t know and especially first year people would come up and ask me about my background, saying they heard on the grapevine that I am “half black” which isn’t completely accurate but I’m always happy to whip out my photo and explain. People are curious and I am proud of my family but that doesn’t mean I haven’t come up against resis-tance, resistance from the exact family that I love. My mother wasn’t very happy when I told her that I was telling people and my aunty tried to dissuade, me which I find extremely frustrating. WHY WOULD THEY? IT’S BECAUSE MY FAMILY HAS WHAT I THOUGHT OF AS A COMPLETE-LY RIDICULOUS NOTION THAT PEOPLE WILL “TREAT YOU DIFFERENTLY”. During the summer I work at a greenhouse where there is a 20% discount for family and as my Aunty is the only one in my family who buys plants I was excited about her getting this discount and excited to show her around my work and advise her on flowers. So I was really upset when my Aunty told me she would not get the discount because she did not want me to tell anyone that she is my grand-aunt. When she came in she insisted I call her by her first name and acted like she didn’t know me. I was so frustrated, that night I cried and begged my mother to talk to her. She informed me then that aunty had also decided she would not be attending my graduation next year. Again because people would see me with her and “treat me differently”. Ugh! It makes me so upset that I am shaking as I write this, my main

family, my main main circle is my sister, my mom and my Aunty, those are the people I want beside me on one of the biggest days of my life, those are the people that I want to brag about because they are awesome beautiful women that should be praised. The worst part is that my Aunty thinks she is doing it for my benefit but all I feel is that she is ashamed of me, and of telling the world that I am her “grand-baby”. My mother says Aunty comes from a different time and there is no making her understand that things aren’t like that anymore. Which is always what I thought, I always thought it was ridiculous that my Aunty felt this way but the recent events in the States only show that maybe it isn't so ridiculous after all. Even up to this year I thought it was a prob-lem with my aunty’s generation and that she had to get out of the past but that isn’t neces-sarily the case. I saw a photo this year of Obama meeting Martin Luther’s King’s granddaughter, GRANDDAUGHTER! Not great-grand, not great-great-grand but granddaughter! It was not all that long ago, and when you think about it, it is impossible for something to have occurred so recent without lasting effects. I've always thought it just doesn’t matter but maybe that has changed. No one has the right to make you feel different or abnormal, that is what happened to my aunty and my grandmother and it is what is happening in the States. And if it is happening in the States, it is happening here too. But at the same time we do have to acknowledge our dif-ferences and take pride in them, I WILL NEVER BE ASHAMED OF WHO I AM AND I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE MAKE ME FEEL THAT I SHOULD EVEN IF THAT IS MY OWN FAMILY. I AM DETERMINED TO LIVE MY LIFE STRIVING FORWARD AND ACKNOWLEDGING THOSE THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE ME AND THE DIF-FERENCES THAT THEY HAVE MADE. I REFUSE TO LOVE IN SECRET.

As I reflect on this, another Black History Month the words of Solomon ring true there is nothing new under the sun. The issue of slavery, bullying and prejudice have been engraved in our brokenness. There lies a selfish desire to establish worth and favor at the cost of another’s esteem. AS AN ADVANCED GENERATION WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REFLECT AND ANALYZE THE MISTAKES OF OUR ANCESTORS, OUR GREAT GRANDPARENTS, OUR PARENTS EVEN. WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE WE ARE DOUBLY ACCOUNTABLE FOR HOW WE CHOOSE TO LIVE OUR LIVES. We have no excuse to promote hatred, intolerance or prejudice for race, ethnicity, or beliefs. We therefore cannot justify our neglect for caring for others because they are different in spirituality, interests or the manner in which they sin. We strive to reach heaven, a paradise where we hope to finally be at peace and free from strife yet with our ill feelings towards other how can we attain such a gift, if we cannot love each other here. God has declared that sin will not rise up a second time in heaven. If we are truly convicted and want to be heaven bound we must loose the bonds of hated and prejudice as we are all striving to get to the same place for eternity. The word of God battles page by page, verse by verse this egotism and declares love as the ultimate cure for our terminal selfishness. GOD PROCLAIMS, LOVE IS COMMUNITY. LOVE BEGINS WHEN SOMEONE ELSE’S NEEDS ARE GREATER THAN MY OWN. In Philippians 2:1-11 Paul starts off by encouraging the church in Philippi to love each other, to see the value in each other’s contribution in the church and in the heart of God. In verse 3-5 he explicitly states, “DO NOTHING FROM SELFISH AMBITION OR CONCEIT, BUT IN HUMILITY COUNT OTHERS MORE SIGNIFICANT THAN YOURSELVES. LET EACH OF YOU LOOK NOT ONLY TO HIS OWN INTERESTS, BUT ALSO TO THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS. HAVE THIS MIND AMONG YOURSELVES, WHICH IS YOURS IN CHRIST JESUS”. Paul encourages the church not to be divided but to be one in their attitude and purpose so they could fulfill God’s purpose individually and as the body of Christ. To accomplish this they needed to be humble and submissive in all areas of their lives. Paul, once the persecutor of God’s people knew what it was to be in warped perceptions and selfish pursuits. To persecute others for what you believe to be right and just and true. But there is no truth aside from God and God commands us to love each other. We cannot love if we are busy criticising Paul did not prescribe a medica-tion that he himself hadn’t experienced, he admonishes to die to self-daily. To not tolerate and put up with but to value each individual as beautifully wonderfully made by God with purpose just as we are. Our purpose as the body of Christ includes the uniqueness and weirdness that each person individually brings. We connect to God alone but we will only grow together. God created and everything he created was good and created for a purpose. With the courage of Christ we can see and behold that even the worst of persons is lovable. By humbling ourselves to service we allow the spirit of God to grow in us to have the mind and manner of Christ. So let us reach out and do small things and with great love. LET US MEDITATE ON THE LOVE GIVEN US BY GOD AND GIVE THAT SAME REGARD TO ANOTHER.
