Check in starting next week for intriguing and informed pieces relating to our broader community.

NOTE: There may be a few kinks in the first issue, please forgive us our flaws as we work things out and feel free to comment on things you’ve noticed.

For most Voice on the Street Issues, someone with a camera will move about campus and interview various EBC peoples about opinions and ideas from deep to silly. Seek them out to make your Voice heard in an easy fun way. However, the first issue is a tad different.

For the first issue, we stray from the traditional question format, and ask our year’s SLT to “say anything!”

Brandon Meyers: President: “Whatever happened to preparations A-G?”

Amanda Gray: Vice President: “This is freaking me out!”

Stephanie Vincent:Finance Officer: “The Purple Monkey is flying through the air, in his blue and pink flower jet”

Sarah Capeling: Administrative Officer: “This is all my fault!”

Ben Ahrens: Vending and Fundraising Coordinator: “I have no idea where I am”

Stefanie Parsons: MTF Coordinator:”If all else fails, eat a doughnut.”

Jordan Vetro: Publications Editor: “As if you really want to hear anything else I have to say.”

Christina Fisher: Spiritual Life Coordinator: “Being spiritual is a lot like being yourself. . . only more spiritual.”

John Hamill: Recreation Coordinator: “Narf!”

Daniel Sage: Social Concerns Coordinator: “No Comprende Senior.”

Jason Edgar: Encouragement Officer: “It is important that we nurse injured squirrels back to health in our rooms”

Tabitha Rozeluk: RA Lower Lehman: (In Response to Mr. Edgar) “Fish… in a bowl.” (with actions, see Tabitha for these)

Jason Edgar (as a re-response to Miss Rozeluk) “Oh nuts.”

Tim Chester: RA, Upper Lehman: “This is for the Voice isn’t it?”

Angel Taylor: RA, Upper Wideman: “beep, beep, beeeeeeep.”

Drew Peterson: RA, Lower Wideman: Weddings are manly

Jeff Hopkins: RA, Lower Warder: “Deep Watermelon.” (A deep quote from Jeffery Hopkins)

Brittany Rice: RA, Upper Warder: “Whoo-hoo!”

Here you will be introduced to your student council. Our helpful questionnaire will introduce you to aspects of your leaders you did and didn’t want to know. As we do not have an interviewee, I will begin with myself, using my info from last year. If some of you find this silly, its true, it is, but it is also… easy.

FULL NAME: Jordan Robert “Cynthia” Vetro

STUDENT COUNCIL POSITION: Editor and Chief

HOMETOWN: Alliston Ontario, a thriving rural community that exists solely because of a bunch of potato farmers (every year we have a potato festival to commemorate how hick we are) and a Honda plant about twice the size of a small European kingdom.

CURRENTLY RESIDES: Here

HOME CHURCH: Alliston Alliance Church

FAMILY: 1 Father, 1 Mother, 3 Sisters, 1 Brother, 1 Dog, 8 Colonies of Toe Fungus, 3 varieties of moss growing in my closet and 17 illegal immigrants who hide under my bed.

PETS: Note the aforementioned Canine

HOW DID YOU GET TO EBC: In a car. . . what kind of question is that?

EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: My sister often quotes “I never let school interfere with my education.” That’s a good plan. Outside of school you learn all the important things. Like how to cut your toenails and eat different varieties of natural dirt. But aside from that my education is very conventional.

FAVOURITE BOOK AND WHY: Of course here I pay homage to the Bible, which hopefully is implied to each of us and transcends such consideration. But to the EBC community I recommend the overly recommended Lord of the Rings trilogy, and request that no one disregard fantasy as useless, as it is in the time devoted to such fancies that we develop imaginations that will aid us even up until our personal lives become dull and tired.

FAVOURITE FOOD: Pasta, and the fine cuisine of my Italian heritage, which boasts much better food certainly than many other societies. (Hungarians take note)

FAVOURITE BIBLE VERSE: Deuteronomy 31:8 says “The Lord goes before you and will be with you. He will never leave or forsake you. Do not be afraid and do not be discouraged.”

MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON AND WHY: My mum who inspires all the best points of my personal morality, my father, who is responsible for my love of theology and the respect I hold for ministry, my closest friends and mentors for holding me accountable, and for the whole of the French Parliament, for always standing up as a firm example for me of what not to do.

FAVOURITE CARTOON CHARACTER AND WHY: Jughead Jones. Never doubt the soundness of mind of someone who can stand up in the face of all of the drama which is endured by his friends, and understand the importance of just loving life (and the food you partake in within it)

DREAM VACATION: Italy, and the whole European tour. Not to sound sacrilegious but that is best described as my Mecca, my personal journey towards lifelong completion. I maintain the romantic idea that nothing would more satisfy my personal love of history, culture and elegant foreign cuisine.

COURSE YOU WOULD LOVE TO TEACH OR TAKE AT EBC AND WHY: Theological Seminar. I would love to sit in on an intellectual environment, teach and discuss the issues which are today addressed and challenged by so many respected (and less respected) Church leaders and teachers.

IF YOU COULD CHANGE PLACES WITH ANYONE FOR A DAY AT EBC-WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY: I would change places with myself. I always thought I had it far too well and would like to take that day sitting in my own place to experience the decadence and foolishness of which I partake, so that I might then better approach and correct myself for all of my moral and intellectual fallacies and inaccuracies.

A QUOTE FOR THE MASSES: “I know nothing except the fact of my ignorance.”
Socrates

NAME YOU WISH YOU WERE GIVEN: Carl. Never before has there been such an elegant and yet pleasingly aesthetic title as this.

BLOOD TYPE: I don’t know and it won’t tell, I think it’s one of those dull ones that everybody has

FAVORITE TV SHOW (S): M*A*S*H, and of course the Three Stooges, which is secretly the favorite television series of every human being. It is what Kant would call an apriori aspect of our being. Something embedded within all of us.

WHAT ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW? Clothing. I greatly prefer it to any other method of attire, and I’ve seen before. The barrel-suspenders gig doesn’t really suit my figure, nor do any of the other more popular alternatives.

HOW DO YOU WANT TO DIE? I want to be secretly and subtly crept upon by a powerful hoard of monkey-ninjas commissioned by none other than an underground terrorist sect secretly working for the government of Nepal. If death works to take me in any other fashion I shall refuse outright.

MOST MEMORABLE PUBERTY EXPERIENCE: Here I extend my gravest apologies and inform you that personal denial and hours of therapy have made quite sure that every puberty experience in my lifetime has been erased from my psyche in entirety.

IF YOU COULD GO ON A DATE WITH ANYONE AT EBC, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Myself. Despite my aforementioned lack of morality I’ve always had a great admiration for myself. (and if any one of you takes such a satirical comment as this as any indication of my character than I apologize for the fact that I sound like such a conceited fellow. Perhaps it is the terror of making a serious comment that brings upon such a comment, but I will leave such an assumption to the reader)…or Simon Boucher, because he’s so pretty.

BIGGEST LIBRARY/VIDEO STORE LATE FEE: I try to remain punctual in all my library/video store doings. Either that or I have never had any need for extra information or entertainment on the grounds that I am personally so intellectual and exciting. Again I put that forward to the reader.

EMBARRASSING STORY (50-100 words): I am reminded of the time I attempted to shoot the apple of the Kaiser’s head. Needless to say my aim was a bit off and things didn’t go well for the Kaiser.

A warm hello from your student council president.

Whilst listening to angelic jazz in a disco ball lit room, I will try to articulate my thoughts through eloquent oral communication with the help of Microsoft word thesaurus. Now, this little ditty may not be as smooth-spoken as the respectable editor of this tremendous paper, but I would like to assure you that I will hold your attention none the less.

It has come to my attention that we have a remarkably wonderful student body this year, and suffice it to say that I am substantially gladdened to be your student council president. There are a number of fresh and appealing events in the making for your enjoyment. Those part of the making, the council, is comprised of astounding leaders that are eager to assist you in many ways.

Once again I would care to constitute crystallizingly that we are here to help. If you have any queries or heckles do not hesitate to inform us of them. Blessings to all and may you always press on significantly in your kinship with Christ.

Your Unhostile Student Council President,
Brandon Meyers

As the Almighty in Power intertwines His supreme will through us, look to Him for counsel.

This is a short review of the reviews page. Here you can evaluate restaurants, movies, books, whatever. Send us your thoughts on places you’ve been and things you’ve done. We’d be more than happy to see them. Hearing your opinions helps your peers because it provides for us a perspective that we can relate to, and an evaluation of something based on ideas and morals similar to our own. So remember that your opinion matters.

This is where you can speak your mind. If you abide by our rules and statements we would love to hear your opinions on today’s hot topics, issues relating to ideas and theology, or any general silliness you can think up.
