F alien Rises to Top P.O.V.--A Is At Stake List of Eligible Voting Precincts MELISA MUNSON , Staff Writer Evanescence's debut album, Fallen, conjures 'mixed feelings. At first you see a gothic looking band dressed all in black hitting you with hard guitar riffs and the haunting voice of the lead singer, Amy Lee, and then you learn a little bit more about the band and their music. You have to be living under a rock not to have heard the over played, Bring Me to Life. Their mix of hard rock and operatic vocals make for an interesting concept. Musically, Evanescence is different than anything out there, but their lyrical content doesn't fit their persona. Evanescence was originally signed to a Christian record label. This means their music must have been, not necessarily religious, but The Lumberjack Staff somewhat uplifting. The music is just that. If you can get past the almost hypnotic voice of the lead singer and actually listen to the· lyrics, you' 11 understand. Their songs are about getting over tough things, moving on with life and just plain living life to the fullest. If you can look deeper into t~e lyrics instead of the hard- driving guitar, it's rather good. Be forewarned that it may not be what you expected. ***** Amy Lee, Ben Moody, John LeCrompt and Rocky Gray Editors: Managing/News Editor: Kara Eubank Managing/A&E Editor: Jonas Boda News Editor: Katie Pizza Features Editor: Connie Irland JONAS BODA Managing/A & E Editor It's that time again. You, the voterS, will decide whether or not A CC is going to flop. No pressure to vote of course, it's not like the Mon- roe vote was lost by a single vote. Wait, it was. Sorry, completely forgot that, you the voters are the ones mak- ing a difference. You see, all you have to do, aside from get up in the morning, is go out and sup- port your community. ACC is a standard of the commu- nity, and we'd like to con- tinue to serve you. However, this can only be done if you find it within your hearts to go out, and renew your support. Now by support, I'm not talking about spending extra cash. No, this is a renewal. This is your non refundable tax dollars at work. The money has been going to- wards improving community education for well over a decade. Sports Editor: Corey Daleski Sports Editor: Dominick Miller P.O. V./A&E Editor: Matt Petrovich Advisor: Ann Kitalong-Will However, now is the point where I'm supposed to really try hard to get you to under- stand the importance. Well, trying isn't going to be needed. It's very simple: if you don't go out and vote, then ACC will have to cut costs, and quality of life goes down. Life gets worse, but . you can help curb it. All we're asking is that you get out, and vote for something that's already been going on. It's not going to cost you a single dime. All you need to do is simply let the voice of the community be heard. The community is ACC. You can't neglect just one, as both are connected tightly together. We wish to continue to sup- port the community which we love so very much. Your single vote can make the difference, and that's all we want. A little of your time to ensure the fu- ture of Alpena.
