The 2000s
This past decade, our nation has persevered, regardless of the numerous obstacles thrown in our path. This issue of the paper is dedicated to the past decade, and the people who were a part of it. In it, you will find a timeline featuring significant moments in world, U.S., and Northwest history. We, the Northwest Passage staff, have spent the past few weeks reflecting on the past, and we’d like to invite you to do the same with our timeline.

Last Decade filled with turmoil, uncertainity
There was a lot of caution going into the 2000s, but that caution turned into panic with the September 11 Attacks. Many controversial decisons followed shaping our decade in history.
It’s been 10 years, and I still remember it. The awkward tension in the room as the crystal ball fell behind the backdrop of fluorescent lights, illuminating the largerthan-life “2000” in Madison Square Garden. I was usually joyful and hopeful at the prospect of a new year and beginning, but that year, I felt apprehensive and unsure about the next decade — pretty strong emotions for a second grader. Why would anybody have such pessimistic feelings at the turn of the decade, and century? Maybe because the world was plagued with the fear of the Y2K bug. You know, the idea that the computers wouldn’t be able to switch dates, causing a global shutdown of the economy and life as we know it. We started the 2000s in fear and confusion, so where were we to find any optimism?
From then on, American spirit slowly crumbled. The lowest point would come in Sept. 2001, when we suffered the worst tragedy in our country’s history. We went to war in Afghanistan the same year, and it was soon erased from our minds, being overshadowed by a preemptive strike in Iraq in 2003. President George W. Bush promised the American people that we would find weapons of mass destruction. Seven years and hundreds of billions of dollars later, we have found none. Thus, the decade declined, and it seemed the only thing that increased was the price of gas. We were struck in 2005 with Hurricane Katrina, which left New Orleans in shambles, even to this day, and highlighted the government’s poor ability to solve its own domestic issues.
When the economy tanked in 2008, it finally was a wake-up call for America. It shook us to our core. For the first time, our parents realized that financial security is relative. Our uncontrolled spending finally caught up to us. Together, we took a step back and realized that we could have done better. When I look back on the decade for a high point, only one date comes to my mind: Dec. 31, 2009. It was when I finally realized that it was over; it was time to start again. I hope that in 10 years, when I look back on this new decade, I have nothing but a sense of pride for my country and the world. What we have is a clean slate, a blank canvas. While we can’t tell how it will end, we hope that it will lead us to new opportunities and broadened horizons...
nJEREMY ALLEN A decade, born amid fear and shrouded under its shadow, has adjourned. We’ve now begun a decade born out of optimism; yearning for tranquility. I can only hope, as we progress, we keep the past in the back of our minds as a reminder so that we may emerge from even the worst times. May we learn from our past..

Students walking down the halls at the beginning of the 2000-01 may have been more modestly clothed and wary of their actions than in previous years. A change in school infrastructure and policy over the summer resulted in big changes to student life. Resulting from multiple faculty requests, a new dress code preventing the donning of halter-tops, tube tops, midriffs, spaghetti straps or backless shirts was implemented. And as a suggestion from a new district safety committee, 54 security cameras were installed to keep a watchful eye over the interior and exterior of the building. The camera on the west end of the building can zoom in nearly 300 yards, allowing officers to see into cars and view the entire parking lot.

A Supreme Court ruling elects George W. Bush as the 43rd president of the United States. Controversy erupted when Florida TV news networks reported that Al Gore had won Florida’s electoral votes, meaning that Gore had won the election, before the polls closed on Election Day. Later, they decided the outcome was close enough to require a recount. After the votes were recounted, Bush had about 300 more votes than Gore. Gore then requested another recount, this time by hand. The Supreme Court ruled that a recount was unconstitutional and that Bush had won the election. This was the closest presidential election since 1876 and only the fourth election in U.S. history when the final result based on the electoral college votes didn’t reflect the popular vote. Gore actually had 543,895 more individual votes than President-elect Bush.

Two teachers were fired for improper relations and actions. Environmental Education teacher Mike Eubanks was dismissed after a sexual harassment complaint from a female student that resulted from a conversation in the classroom. Eubanks fought the decision hard, filing an appeal with the district, but he ultimately lost the case. “If [the district] wants somebody who can be a non-personality and absolutely perfect with everything they say then they need to hook students up to computers and not have teachers in the classroom,” Eubanks said in a 2001 interview. Physical Education teacher Kevin Zoellner was also fired after allegedly having improper sexual relations with two female students.

Associate princpal Tom Moss advises students to not participate in FOX 4 interviews about teacher Al Spungen’s arrest.
In November 2004, then government teacher Al Spungen was pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation while driving during his plan period. The officer smelled marijuana, and upon searching the car, found paraphernalia and presence of the drug. A debate over Spungen’s status as a teacher rocked the school in the coming weeks. A group of 20 students banded together to support him and argued that the teacher should be allowed to return to his position. FOX 4 news cameras appeared multiple times to interview students on air. However, the Board of Education eventually decided to fire Spungen. “I’m just sorry that this happened, and I’m really going to miss the kids,” Spungen said in a 2004 interview. “They’re why I live.”

She wanted to be a regular girl.”
