See You in September

PARTLY BECAUSE CM IS HAVING some staff changes (more on that later), we're going on hiatus until the beginning of September. Of course, because it's summer, a lot of our regular readers aren't around anyway. (Though if you're reading this you are around, and -- and I mean this -- you're one of our favourites. But we're still taking a summer break.)

Be assured, however, this doesn't mean any trouble for you. If you read us by e-mail, the issues will just stop arriving in your mailbox; in September, they'll start showing up again.

When I say staff changes, I mostly mean that this is my last day at CM. On Monday, I 'll be starting work as an instructor in the new media program at Red River Community College here in Winnipeg. Someone else will be at this e-mail address when CM comes back in September.

CM has been an important eduational resource for Canadian educators for more than a quarter of a century. Being the first editor of the new, electronic version has been a challenge and a privilege. We've made our share of mistakes (often because of the very tight schedule a weekly Internet publication requires) but we've accomplished a lot to be proud of too, won a bunch of awards, and gotten a lot of encouragement from our readers.

Since this is my last editorial, I want to mention that CM only exists because of our many volunteer reviewers. In the last thirteen months, some have done far more than their share of work; some are still patiently waiting for their first assignment. All of them have been important, a great body of support that's kept the magazine standing.

To all of you -- readers, reviewers, the CM board, and of course Executive Assistant Peter Tittenberger, who started the magazine with me -- thanks.
