Head Story
By Clair Hoswell
It’s March and therefore things are looking up, in more ways than one. Weather’s
lightening up a little bit, spring training for a lot of sports has begun, and oh right!
SPRING BREAK.
Indeed, this is a very exciting time because in just a few short days we’ll all pull a William
Wallace and scream “FREEDOM!”. Whether you’re hitting a vacation spot or just chilling
in Calgary, try to relax some and let the loveliness that is spring to lift your spirits.
Also, this month contains a holiday! St. Patrick’s Day is here and I hope you all wore
green. It’s customary to pinch people who don’t wear green. (I hope that sounded
menacing…) Anyway, did you know that leprechauns are really not an Irish symbol? So
can we skip over that whole “hearts stars horseshoes, clover and blue moons”
business?
Well, I wish you a “Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona” (Happy St. Patrick’s Day) and hope you
wore green! Slaínte! (Cheers).

Did you know that the Boston Red Sox were the
first team to wear green uniforms on St. Patrick’s
Day? Indeed. Also, Boston was the first city to
have a St. Patrick’s Day parade in the US. Sigh, I
love March.

a VBS/sports camp and painting an orphanage nearby.
Their team includes Mrs. Francis and Jeremy Keys as the
leaders. Sarah Francis, Kevin Bauder, Anaïs and
Stephanie Blais, Chelsea Kurtz, Jeff Lorge, Megan
Prediger, Alana Van Middlesworth, and Cody Wilkinson
make up the rest of the group.

Book Review

Youtube Spotlight
Suspense!
Please watch this space. We believe
that a book review will briefly appear
the morning of April 1, while you are
on spring break. Then, it will quickly
disappear, like a shadow in front of an
oncoming train.
How hard is it to make a hit song? This
youtube movie not only answers this
question, but also proves just what the
combined powers of Scott Adams’ fans and
a German band called RIVO DREI can
achieve with lyrics that almost make sense.

Ponderings
By Naomi Harbeck
“Why, if I were you…”
Such statements are heard relatively often. Yet, it seems unlikely that any of these
actually mean what they seem to say. Really, what would it be like to be someone
else? One would be looking through the eyes of another body, through the other
person’s memories, perspectives, even biases. Wouldn’t that just mean that they
would be the other person? Or when someone gives the aforementioned statement to
another person, do they mean something completely different? Do they mean what
they would do if they had been in an identical situation to theirs? That would still be
an inaccurate statement – you don’t consider the other person’s experiences that led
up to their decision, the perspectives that shaped it.
For instance, imagine you were a wealthy, overall well-off person, telling a homeless
person that “if I were you”, you’d get a job and stop crowding up the sidewalks. But
suppose there’s more than what is on the surface. She could be subject to prejudice
– she can’t get a job. She could have a phobia or disability that prevents her from
getting a job.
This may seem a little out of contact with our daily lives, so let me give another
example. “If I were you, I’d start picking up my slack and do my homework for once.”
Suppose, however, that this “slacker” in fact has a lot going on in his life already. He
can’t help but worry about keeping his job, stresses about appearances, can’t go to
sleep because his mind is too full of endless worries. He could be full to the brim with
other things he is doing already; sports, missions, drama… He might not consider that
particular piece of homework to be important in his later life, since he’ll never use that
anyway because Math 30 is definitely not required for social services and
volunteering. He could even be stressed out over a dying pet, and not be able to
focus on anything, never mind school.
Really, when you take a look at it, every soul is so mind-bogglingly complex that it is
surprising we understand each other at all.
