	Thoughts
	by Vicki Lockard

By now, we're all aware of the events of September 11, 2001. Paul and I extend our profound sympathy to those who have lost loved ones and our prayers to those who were wounded. While preparing this issue of "Canku Ota," many thoughts went through my mind. Should we publish? If so, how do we cover this tragedy? After all, we have made it a policy to not dwell on bad news. As you see, we did decide to publish. If we allow what happened to stop us, then, those who have hurt us, have won. This issue is a bit smaller than usual, but we refuse to "give in" and stop or delay publication. Our coverage is limited. In a gesture of honor, to all affected, we have put the Rememberance Ribbon as our moon for this issue. Additionally, our Favorite Sites consist of links to some of the best sites that give advice on how to help our children cope with tragedy and disaster. We would like to honor all of those involved in the rescue and recovery efforts. You are our heroes and we thank you.
