    A shriek, You killed her! rung out on Tuesday, April 12, just north of G.F. Kells High School. You were drink-ing and driving, and you killed her!

    Students of S.A.D.D. had set up a mock col-lision to emphasize the dangers of driving while intoxicated and distract-ed driving.

    As students exit-ed the school to watch the scene unfold they were solemn realizing the wait for help feels like a very long time. Finally the sounds of sirens could be heard in the distance. The ambulance was the rst to arrive, checking on the driver they found he had a few scrapes and scratches, but had come away relatively unscathed. A backseat passenger that was able to get out of the car from the drivers side was frantically yelling and screaming at the driver.

    EMS worked their way to the other side of the car where a deceased passenger was pulled from the car and a blanket laid over them. The Fire Department then arrived on the scene, while RCMP and a second ambulance followed closely behind.

    As the driver was arrested by police, the rest of the emergency crew set to work on extracting the pinned passenger, which included the Jaws of Life. As the Fire Department set to work removing the roof of the vehicle the pinned passenger was covered with a blanket and comforted by one of the EMTs on the scene. Eventually they were able to remove the individual and place them on a stretch-er.

    Josh Brown, a student at G.F. Kells and mem-ber of S.A.D.D., played the part of the mock colli-

    sions driver. When asked about how playing the part a ected him that morning he explained, It was scary. It might be made up, but it puts you in that position. Its hard to think about being in that situation and you realize how real it is, that it can happen to anyone, and I never want to really be in that situation.

    The students headed to the gym for a short presentation regarding the scene they had just wit-nessed. However, in reality emergency crews could be out there for much longer, Sta Sergeant Darren Simons explained that he has spent eight hours at a scene before which could include searching for passengers ejected from the vehicle, waiting for the construction specialists, and more.

    That was quick, Sta Sgt. Simons stated.

    It usually takes a lot longer and there are usually curve balls thrown at you when youre dealing with a scene. As a police o cer were responsible for ar-resting the accused and then protecting the accused because people often are so angry they want to hurt them. Then we also have to protect the crime scene, a criminal investigation is held which can take two to three hours for the reconstructionists to investi-gate and nothing gets moved until they see it. Eight hours is the longest Ive been at a scene and the re department is there the entire time doing tra c control.

    driving occurred when he was approximately 17-years-old: I was still in high school and half of my cousins basket-ball team was killed by a drunk driver. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and he had side swiped the teams vehicle and put it into another vehicle. The rest of the team had ar-rived at their destination,

    but were told their other teammates wouldnt be coming. And on Monday, my science partner didnt show up, I realized that I would never see him again.

    Being emergency per-sonnel comes with mem-ories that cant be erased, which is often made worse in a small town as volunteer re ghters and

    Sta Sgt. Simons said. Oftentimes in small com-munities the emergency responders know the in-dividual, which makes it very di cult to work the scene.

    The most di cult part for me is going and knocking on a door or ringing a bell, Sta Sgt. Simons stated. Its tough to tell someone that

    theyve lost a loved one.Cst. Je Smoliak add-

    ed, Theres no build up to a collision, it happens very quickly. And speed, what you saw out there was nothing compared to on the highway with a car versus a semi or a car versus a car. The human body is extremely frail and even an airbag going o will hurt you.

    Zach Brown, an EMT, explained that in Carlyle there are two ambulances available, but in the event of a collision it could take time for resources to become available as one ambulance could be out on a call already and a second ambulance may have to travel from another community. Theres the time waiting for their arrival on the scene, transportation to the hospital, and then as needed transporta-tion through STARS, Air Ambulance, or the drive to Regina.

    Its dangerous for us to be out there as well, Brown said. Were often working along the side of the road before anyone has shown up to control tra c, so if you see us out there please be careful and slow down.

    The April sale of Saskatchewans petroleum and natural gas rights raised $3.1 million for the province, bringing the scal years total so far to $8.1 million. The industry continues to pay premium prices on a per-hectare basis in Saskatchewan. For the 2016 calendar year to date, Saskatchewans public o ering has averaged $404 per hectare, whereas Alberta has averaged $114 per hectare and British Columbia has averaged $243 per hectare. There is no question that when the price of oil drops signi cantly, the markets react and

    April sale of Saskatchewan land rights raises $3.1 million

    consequently raising investment capital is more di cult for the oil and gas industry, Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. However, Saskatchewans reputation as an opportunity-rich, low-cost operat-ing environment is unchanged among conventional producers, and the province is well-positioned for the moment when prices rebound. Saskatchewan received the highest ranking in Canada and placed in the worlds top 10 in the Fra-ser Institutes most recent annual Global Petroleum Survey of attractive jurisdictions for investment in petroleum exploration and development.

    The April public o ering saw the Estevan area receive the most bids at $2,642,429. The highest price paid for a single parcel was $1,104,666. STOMP Energy Ltd. acquired the 259-hectare lease located west of Estevan. This parcel was also the highest price on a per-hectare basis at $4,265 and is in an area that has proven oil production from the Bakken Formation, Three Forks Group/Torquay Formation and the Midale Beds. The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights will be held on June 7, 2016.

    Seven students from White Bear Education Complex represented their school at Saskatchewans rst-ever First Nations Spelling Bee Friday, April 8 in North Battleford. Mystique Bigstone, Katelyn Desjarlais, Taya La-vallee, Delilah Littlechief, Mercedez Littlechief, Isaiah McMann-Ross and River Whitebear earned their places on Team Whitebear after competing with their fellow pupils to represent their school at the competition. Over 130 students from 21 Sas-katchewan First Nations communities gathered at North Battlefords Don Ross Centre for the inaugural event. WBEC Grade Three teacher Saldina Mujkic-who organized WBECs participation-says: The biggest part of this event is that its an academic event. There are lots of athletic events for students to participate in, but the spelling bee is an excellent opportu-nity for the kids to use and showcase their academics. We had a spelling bee at White Bear and since November, weve had contest practices for the provincial spelling bee, adds Mujkic. We could send a maximum of three students

    Seven students from the White Bear Education Complex competed in Saskatchewans rst-ever First Nations Spelling Bee in North Battleford on Friday, April 8. Prior to the competition, students from WBEC practiced spelling and memorized a list of 400 words for months before the event. The seven pupils pictured here emerged as the winners from White Bear and went on to compete against over 130 students from 21 Saskatchewan First Nations. Pictured here in the WBEC School Library are: (back row, l-r) Delilah L., Katelyn D., Taya L., Mystique B., River W. and (front row) Mercedez L. and Isaiah M.-R.

    per category-primary, junior and in-termediate. The kids all did a great job, es-pecially since they travelled seven hours each way to get there. Isaiah (McMann-Ross) brought home the second-place trophy, Mercedez (Littlechief) placed fourth, Katelyn (Desjarlais) came fth, and Mystique (Bigstone) placed eighth. Im proud of them all and how they represented our school, says Mujkic. I really want people to know that its not just a simple spell-ing bee. They had to memorize 400 words-some of which were ridiciously di cult. Then they had to stand up on stage, speak into a microphone, and spell out loud in front of a lot of people. It took a lot of time and e ort from them. Eight-year-old Isaiah McMann-Ross, who brought home the second-place trophy-and narrowly missed earning rst-place- says, It was good. I was nervous, but it was exciting, too. Fourth-place winner Mercedez Littlechief, 8, says: It was fun and some of my family was there watching me and my dad came from Winnipeg to see me. Mystique Bigstone, 12-who placed eighth in her category-agrees. It was pretty fun but it was kind of scary, too. But it was more fun than scary and it was a great experience. I was very anxious, says Katelyn Desjarlais, 11. It was a good experi-ence, but it was scary, too. I was kind of shaking on the stage. We were all sitting in four rows of chairs. Once I walked up to the microphone and started spelling a few times, it was more relaxing. I came in fth-place. River Whitebear, 12, said he was pretty focused during the competi-tion. I tried to concentrate on spell-ing and not get too nervous. I was nervous, excited, happy and sad, says 10-year-old Taya Laval-lee. But I worked really hard and Im glad I went. Weve been working since December to memorize those words. Delilah Littlechief, 11, agrees. It was like history, she says. We had a seven-hour van ride both ways and I would go again. Im very proud of them all, says Mujkic. And the Bear Claw Casino was a huge help. They allowed us to fundraise there and our (educational assistant) Angela McArthur made bannock for us to sell there. Without them, we couldnt have made this trip. Were de nitely going back-and this time, were going for gold.

    Wawota photographer Kim Lamontagne hasnt looked back since she started seriously pursuing photography almost eight years ago, when she was in her thirties and her children were almost grown. Since then, Lamontagne has amassed a library of over 16,000 images, has earned awards for her work, and will be part of an upcoming gallery show this year in Regina. Lamontagnes images are inspired by the future, but her work is also driven by her personal past. My favourite image is the one I will take tomorrow, she says. But my little brother (Michael Brimner) was killed and we dont have many pictures of him, because he didnt like to have his picture taken. You never think about that, but I do now.

    Lamontagne says her interest in photography was always there, but I didnt have a really good camera until my kids were both in high school. When I was young I was interested in photography, but it was viewed as sort of an uncool thing back then.

    My rst good camera was a Canon Rebel and now I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark III. Of course, I really wish I had a better camera when my kids were really little, but Im ready for the grandchildren now, she laughs. And with my little brother, I try to drill it into my son (Justin) and my daughter (Kristin) how important it is to capture those important people and memories with a camera.

    Although her subjects range from the lights of the Las Vegas strip to natures northern lights, Lamontagne says she is largely inspired by the natural beauty of her home province.

    Ive been lucky enough to travel a bit, she says. Ive photographed Vegas and hopefully, this spring my husband Bob and I will travel to the States, where I hope to photograph some ghost towns in North Dakota, and Im contemplating a trip to the Yukon with (Tornado Hunter and photographer) Greg Johnson for a workshop hes holding there.

    But I love the sunsets and stu -

    the stu that really says Saskatchewan and country, says Lamontagne. I like to go down a backroad thats not well-travelled and Ill nd an old barn or something like that. Those are things that really touch my heart.

    Although Lamontagne holds herself to a high technical standard, she says; I like the creative side maybe more than the technical side. But its important to learn and perfect the technical end. Then with the creative side, you can create something thats yours, by using Photoshop or another one of the many di erent tools, so you can create an image thats di erent from everybody elses.

    Im really fussy and picky, she adds. If its not tack-sharp, I dont want to put it out there. Thats one of the things I learned from (photographer) Douglas Walker. He holds a workshop every year at Kenosee Lake and he taught me that instead of holding onto every picture-and people will get bored ipping through a bunch of pictures of the same subject-choose the one that stops you in your tracks. Thats the one you show.

    There are a lot of amazing photographers who inspire me, she adds. Douglas Walker is one. And as a member of the Moose Mountain Photography club, there are a lot of people who inspire me, starting with my fellow members.

    William Sinclair from Kenosee encourages photographers to make photos into art by manipulating the original image. Lori Maxim of Regina taught me a lot of the technical part of photography. So did Paul Cutting, also of Regina. I took a workshop with Dave Brosha from Prince Edward Island who was amazing regarding night photos. I also took a few workshops with Greg Johnson, the Tornado Hunter and I learned a lot from him about shooting in all kinds of weather.

    I really love the northern lights, says Lamontagne. I love photographing them and I can easily sit there for an hour and just watch them. And I like going down roads that arent well-travelled, but thats not without surprises, either.

    Once I was down a back road and I just kept shooting and kept moving my vehicle. I was taking pictures and I noticed a truck was following me. It turned out to be the DNR (Department of Natural Resources). I dont know who was more surprised-me or them!

    The rst time I ever went out shooting at night, I was surprised I ever did it again, she laughs. There was a pumpjack and it wasnt moving, but two big turkey vultures seemed to come out from nowhere and ew right towards me. I stayed and nished the shoot, but I think all of Wawota heard me that night!

    Although Lamontagne has won awards for her work, she remains focused on the joy of the process and excited about future photographic challenges.

    I was in total shock when I won the (View Bug) online competition, she says. I won for a picture of chuckwagon horses and the second one was a picture of a little red barn in the

    frost near Yorkton. And Im really liking the abstract

    prints now. Id also like to work more with long exposures.

    Im moving into creative portraits of kids. I really want to learn more about the portraiture of kids and the editing, she adds. Today, you can make the image of someone more natural, but you can also make it pop. In the old days, if you were doing a portrait of someone, you had to take what you got.

    Theres so much to learn with photography and really, you probably cant do it all, so you have to pick and choose, she says.

    But youre never too old to do it. There are so many photographers out there-to learn from and to be inspired by.

    There are a lot of amazing photographers who inspire me, says Wawota photographer Kim Lamontagne. And Douglas Walker is one... If its not tack-sharp, I dont want to put it out there. Its one of the things I learned from him. He holds a workshop every year at Kenosee Lake and he taught me that instead of holding onto every picture-and people will get bored ipping through a bunch of pictures of the same subject-choose the one that stops you in your tracks. Thats the one you show. (Photo courtesy of Kim Lamontagne)

    Theatre fans packed Carlyle Memorial Hall on Tuesday, April 12 as the Gordon F. Kells High School Drama Club previewed their festival performances before taking them on the road to Redvers to the Region One Drama Festival. In Redvers, the senior cast and crew earned Best Over-all Production runner up for Avoiding the Pitfalls of High School Dating as well as Best Visual Production Run-ner Up and Best Tech-nical Crew, while the junior group captured an Award of Merit for Best Set Decorations for their production, Epic Adventures in a Rinky Dink Art Museum. Individual awards were as follows: Tech-nical Award of Merit: Kelly Hume, Best Ac-tor Runner Up: Jil-lian Heitenan, Acting Award of Excellence: Madison Hourd and Acting Awards of Merit: Joash Rushton, Judah Wardrope, Morgan Robertson and Matthew Forcier. Teacher and direc-tor Darcy Howe says: We entertained. Our goal was to entertain and we did that. Im very proud of the kids-both the senior and the junior groups-and their performances. Both the junior and senior casts and crews demonstrated talent, professionalism and a air for comedy during their preview perfor-mances in Carlyle. Epic Adventures in a Rinky-Dinky Art Museum by Ken Preuss showcased the junior cast and crews comedic timing and talent as they told the story of a class of reluctant high-school eld-trippers on a visit to the local muse-um, run by the mysteri-ous Mr. Briggs (Brayden Hill). Pop-culture ref-erencing teacher, Ms. Bell (Brooke Smith) and her students Abby (Morgan Robertson), Kaitlin (Sydney Flynn), Caleb (Colby Cyr), Mo-nique (Kyra Cochrane), Irene (Emily Bouchard), Jenna (Madison Paulo), Seth (Judah Wardrope) and Duncan (Kyle Bye) shine in this character-driven comedy that features mystery and ro-mance involving faithful security guard Higgins (Kaysha Turner) and the mysterious Lady (Anna Doty). The production proceeded awlessly, thanks to the efforts of stage managers and prompters Brittany Rowe and Kelly Hume, who oversaw lights and sound. And the different rooms of the museum were created by the imaginative use of art-work created by Carlyle students.

    Carlyle Crowd-Pleasers: GFKs Drama Club wins at Regionals in Redvers Directors-and teachers- Thomas Broc-colo and Justine Kyle praised the troups work ethic and enthusiasm. Were so excited for all of you to be here with us tonight, said Broccolo. Its a comedy for all ages and the kids are really red up. The senior drama group continued the evenings comedic theme as they pre-sented Bobby Kenistons Avoiding the Pitfalls of High School Dating. The play is the story of bickering-and slightly smarmy-dating coaches Lucky Day (Joash Rush-ton) and Starry Night (Jillian Hietanen) who are pitching a program that will transform the romantic lives of teen-age wall owers -and rescue the dating coach-es nancially. With a pitch like: Dating isnt easy-and neither is high school-so imagine combining the two, the pair set up the hapless Lenny (Matthew Forcier) and death-obsessed Matilda (Madison Hourd) on blind dates with the un-suspecting Katie (Bry-anne Forcier), Kaylynn

    The Arcola School Senior Drama put on their annual production which they had been working on for the Region One Drama Festival. The group hosted their school at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 12, and welcomed the community to the MacMurray Theatre that evening. This year the drama group decided upon the play Building Blocks by Jeffrey Harr, which addresses societies gender stereotypes based on what a young boy and girl hear from their parents. These gender stereotypes are addressed and broken as the children begin to play together. Therer a gazillion-jillion things girls stink at. Like throwin a baseball, and runnin for vice pepsodent, and beatin people up. Sure cant build nothin. Evrybody knows, girls were put on this Earth for one thing and one thing only: to spend a mans money, the boy (Jay James) says to the audience. Well, thats what my

    daddy says, anyway. The boy eventually allows the girl to build with him, but they have a con ict: Therer a trillion-kajillion things boys are stupid about. Like shoppin for shoes, askin for directions, and memberin to put the toilet seat down. Snot that hard to member, unless youre stupid. Men were put on this Earth for one reason and one reason only: to make women crazy, the girl (Shaleen Hengen) says to the audience. Well, thats what my mommy says, anyway. The two continue to squabble, worry about catching cooties, and eventually the boy tells her to leave his blocks alone. The girl becomes visibly upset, crying. The boy apologizes and they begin to build together. As the boy builds a football stadium he is surprised that the girl knows about the NFL and is a Browns fan, just like him.

After all the kids just became friends, they dont want to become siblings. The productions cast and crew did a wonderful job bringing the play to life. Jay

    brought his character to life with a childish accent, creating a higher pitched voice to sell the age of his character to the audience. His co-star in the play, Shaleen, did a great job as she portrayed the various emotions her character had to go through in such a short amount of time. Arcola School performed their production on Friday, April 15, at the Region One Drama Fest where

    students did very well. Dacey Fleck received a tech certi cate of merit for stage management, Dawson Cutler and Johnathon Ulsifer each received tech certi cate of merit for props and set, while Shaleen Hengen earned an unsung hero award.

    It was the strangest thing I had a weekend at home with no volleyball and I was at a complete loss for what to do. Sitting at home Friday night, usually were driving somewhere, I wondered what people do. I watched a movie, ate supper, and got bored. So off I went to the gym and I did a short work-out and stretching session.

    Again the next day, I had a little bit of work to do, but that wasnt going to ll my entire day. So, I read, watched The Millennium trilogy, and by 3 p.m. was back at the gym for another hour session. Not because I typically workout, but because I was at a loss of what to do.

    Sunday then popped up and luckily I had plans for 11 a.m., it was off to the lake for a hike with some friends and then lunch to follow. It was so nice to catch up with them because oftentimes schedules get in the way. One of them, weve been trying to have supper together for the last three weeks or so, but it just hasnt worked out. But then, again I was at a loss for what I could do for the afternoon. Luckily the individual I coach with

    was also bored, so off to Dairy Queen for coffee and then to the ball diamonds to play catch.

    I lled my days with things, but it was still weird and felt like something was missing. Usually if Im not coaching then I have events to get to for work and writing to do, but nope. Last year I can honestly say with us running two teams that I was ready for a break and very much enjoyed doing very little the rst few weekends, well maybe not very little I ran in a colour run in Arcola and then drove to Regina for the Globe Theatre.

    This year, however, I guess my volleyball bug hasnt been fed enough because even though I got to spend time with friends, got to exercise, and cook (I had time to make asparagus/ricotta stuffed chicken and then bake banana bread). All things I enjoy doing, I still missed volleyball. The driving, the sitting inside a sometimes poorly lit gymnasium for the day, and the competition I simply missed it.

    Luckily my volleyball addiction this year gets to go until the end of July, but itll be different starting mid-May when our 16U Vipers nish up and I begin helping with a 14U team.

    Realizing my passion for volleyball, I hope other people nd something they love to do as much as I love the sport.

    Hooray for Hollywood. Or Bollywood. Or Vancouver. Or wherever the lions share of movies are being made each year. We seem to love movies. Sources say that when combining theatre ticket revenues, DVD rentals, televised movies, on-demand services and on-line options, a full 89% of the American population over the age of 8 watched a movie last year.

    With so many seeking out movie options its a good thing there is such a wide variety of cinematic choice: comedy, drama, adventure, thriller, animation, foreign, horror, or even an occasional musical.

    My husband and I have opposite taste in movies. He loves ones set in outer space, or in dystopian societies, or ones that have a car chase, shoot out or explosion every few minutes. There has to be something in the setting or story that completely sets it apart from reality. My movie interests tend to lean towards more conversationless commotion.

    One summer I decided to attend a blockbuster action ick with my family. The movie featured a number of super heroes valiantly striving to save the world from its latest threat. There were a tremendous number of ght scenes, explosions, and collapsing buildings; countless special effects and much attention to the destruction sequences to be sure. Impressive stuff. The script, however, could have been written on a post-it note. Not much dialogue in this one. But, to be honest, it was kind of fun.

    In fact, some of the movies Ive enjoyed the most are ones that came as surprises or ones that were different from my usual choices.

    Its kind of like friendship. People who have enriched my life the most are ones that came unexpectedly; people that I would have considered unlikely to become friends. But their different points of view, different types of jobs, and variety of life experience has made our interactions interesting, thought provoking, and a whole lot of fun. The same can be said of organizations. Or communities.

    Imagine if there was one, and only one, type of movie. Same characters. Same setting. Same theme. The movie watching experience would be decidedly less than entertaining. Happily, they are not all the same or from the same director or producer. Just as in life, all the individuals involved provide each scene with a depth and richness that wouldnt be there if you wrote out one of the characters or eliminated one of the plot points.

    We each approach projects and conversations with a different bent. Maybe theres a rough and tumble approach that comes across, similar to a classic western. Maybe theres a pie in the sky, unrealistic tone, aka fantasy. Or maybe rose-tinted ambitions that could be construed as little more than romantic. But dont we need them all? We need tough, respectable talk. We need dreamers. We need those who choose to see the possible. We need those who galvanize opinion, motivate volunteers and set the timeline for the project to be released. All genres, all people, coming together in a multiplex of ideas and plans. To be sure we can allow our different points of view to lead to disagreements, bad feelings and division; or we can take a page from each persons archive; honour it, and add it to what is being done. Because when it comes to community--we get to write the script.

    We see things through different lenses and express those opinions through dialogue unique to us. Not everyone will like it. Some may even wish there was a director to yell cut if we get rolling and they dont like what we have to say. But think about how much better it would be if we wait to

    A weekend off

    see the scene play out and watch to see where it goes next. It often takes us somewhere totally unexpected and far better than anticipated. Instead of ending the dialogue, it is better to shut down the

    impulse to yell cut and instead say action. A far more complete story gets told that way and its far more likely to get us to the The End. Thats my outlook.

    Through the LensBy Moose Mountain Photography Club

    With the coming of spring,I am calm again.

    - Gustav Mahler

    Distracted driving, it encompasses everything from the driver reading, eating, putting on make-up, to the use of an electronic device (cell phone, GPS, etc).

    Its the last one, the electronic devices, however, that have become a large problem in society. People checking a text, sending a text, checking Facebook, taking a phone call, looking for their phone when it

    begins to ring, and literally anything related to the cell phone.

    According to a Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) nationwide survey, 22 percent of Canadian drivers admitted to texting behind the wheel; but, Saskatchewan is one of the highest offenders with 35 percent of drivers in this province using their phone to check email or text messages while behind the wheel.

    Checking a unit converter online I discovered that 100 km/hr is the equivalent of traveling 27.8 meters per second and lets face it the majority of traf c along Hwy 13 is going at least 110 km/hr which works out to 30.6 meters per second. Now how long are you looking at your phone for? Just a few seconds? A few seconds, lets say seven seconds in this instance. You are looking at moving 214 metres or 702 feet for those of you who are more inclined to the imperial system. So, travelling 110 km/hr and looking down at your phone for seven seconds means you have travelled quite a distance in a very short amount of time.

    The other day it took some friends and me about an hour, maybe a little under but well call it even an even 60 minutes, to hike ve kilometres. That means at a walking pace youre travelling 214 metres in about 2.6 minutes. Thats a ridiculously huge difference.

    Have you ever looked out the side window and watched the grass where the ditch meets the road just whizzing by you? Humans werent meant to go at the speeds we do in vehicles, our eyes cant pick up whats happening, so it blurs. This means humans reacting to situations on the road are essentially controlling a metal death machine at high speeds with extremely slow reactions in comparison.

    Thats why youre supposed to go slower in poor weather or on gravel roads, there are more variables that can contribute to you having to react. On the highway in good conditions, its smooth and your tires grip well, so a few variables are taken away. However, at any time there could be a hazard in the road. Maybe something is lost off of an unsecure load and is sitting in the road, maybe a deer jumps out from the brush on the side of the road, or maybe your tire blows and you have to react to it pulling you that direction.

    With your reaction time already hindered because youre moving too fast for what humans are physically meant to move what does looking at your phone for seven seconds do? Well, it can cause a collision, cause injuries, or even cost lives.

    Texting and driving is not worth it, so lets help Saskatchewan bring down their numbers of engaged cell phone users on the road. Lets prevent at least some of the 5,700 collisions caused by distracted driving last year.

    Its called cognitive dissonance. That is, most people have an inner need to ensure that their beliefs match up with their behaviors. And according to psychologist Leon Festinger-who wrote A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance in 1957-Cognitive dissonance can be seen as an antecedent condition which leads to activity oriented toward dissonance reduction just as

    hunger leads toward activity oriented toward hunger reduction.

    That is, most humans are so uncomfortable with beliefs and actions that arent in alignment, that the internal disharmony they experience-and their desire to reach internal consistency-is on a par with a basic human need such as hunger.

    But in Saskatchewan, when it comes to texting while driving? Not so much.

    This year, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) released the results of a survey which concluded that distracted driving continues to be one of the top causes of automobile collisions in this province, with 5,700 crashes occurring in 2015-all of them a direct result of distracted

    driving. The CAA also found that nationally, 22 percent of drivers admitted to texting while driving. In Saskatchewan, that gure jumped to 35 percent, with ve percent of the provinces respondents admitting that they sent emails and texts regularly while behind the wheel.

    And demonstrating positive proof of Festingers theory, 90 percent of Saskatchewans respondents also stated that they believe texting while driving was socially unacceptable.

    Naturally, if we humans aim to deal effectively with the divide between our beliefs and behaviors concerning distracted driving, the solution is simple: Be aware of how potentially dangerous and destructive a habit it is and stop-cold turkey-just stop.

    There is no upside to distracted driving. But the potential downsides are equal parts obvious and potentially dangerous-for everyone on the road.

    Carlyle RCMP Staff Sgt. Darren Simons agrees and says of the current distracted driving statistics: Its brutal. People just feel like they have to keep reaching for their phones to answer that call or that text while theyre driving and its scary.

    People just dont realize that a collision can occur in a short, short time. Just pull over. Is it that important to answer that call?

    Pay attention, shut off the phone and

    drive safe

    Beliefs, behavior and distracted driving

    Some of the most common driver distractions include:texting; using a cellphone or smartphone; eating and drinking; talking to passengers; grooming; reading, including maps; using a navi-gation system or GPS; watching a video; adjusting a radio, CD or MP3 player; smoking; and pets.

    Driver distraction and inattention is

    1 of the major contributing factors

    in fatal collisions

    By Bruce PentonMike Weir is not

    aging gracefully on the PGA Tour.

    The most accomplished professional golfer in Canadian history his major title at the 2003 Masters trumps any argument you might want to put forth is limping to the finish line of his career as he tries to keep sharp in preparation for the 50-and-over Champions Tour.

    Currently eligible on the regular Tour due to some major and minor medical exemptions, Weir had 2016 starts in eight tournaments guaranteed and more if he won a certain amount of money.

    That hasnt come close to happening. Weir, who grew up in Sarnia, Ont., but now lives in Utah and doesnt contribute much to the growth of Canadian golf these days, is teeing it up Thursday and Fridays, but having no success.

    In fact, in his last 21 PGA Tour starts, Weir has had four withdrawals and 17 missed cuts. His money earnings: Zero.He hardly needs the money. His heyday on

    the Tour brought in $28 million U.S. and he still has enough cachet to cash in on a variety of endorsements. To date, Weir has used up six of his eight tournament exemptions and needs to have a couple of high finishes if he hopes to retain his eligibility for the rest of the 2016 season. He could still play in some minor league web.com tournaments, and will work on his game as much as possible until he becomes eligible for the no-cut Champions Tour in on his 50th birthday, May 12, 2020.Weir has every right to take advantage of the favourable exempt-status rules to enter as many tournaments as allowed, but the 46-year-old veteran must find it a little embarrassing to miss cut after cut after cut while a young player looking to get his career started is bumped from play when Weir takes up one of the spots in the field. At the RBC Heritage the week after the Masters, Weir withdrew after an opening-round 78 and South African Dawie van der Walt, who was second alternate, was not pleased, tweeting: Gota (sic) love a guy who gets an invite into a Tour event and then WD after the first round, using the hashtag, #hangitupmike.By rough estimate, Weir has two more tournaments to play before his eligibility expires. Maybe

    lightning will strike and Weir will relive some golf course magic, but the likelihood is that after two more weeks of futility, it will another four years before we hear Weirs name again. Norman Chad of the Washington Post, mocking Major League Baseball for its obsession with pitch counts for young players: Did Dostoyevsky have a word count? Did Rembrandt have a brushstroke count? Did Genghis Khan have a conquered-territory count? From Dwight Perrys Sideline Chatter in the Seattle Times, quoting from USA Today: Give-and-take between Bubba Watson and a Masters fan, after Watson sliced a drive into the trees and tried to address his ball:

    Watson: Can you back up? Youre really not supposed to be back here. Fan: Neither is your ball. Watson: I dont know about you, but I have two green jackets. Thanks for coming. NBC late-night host Seth Meyers: Tomorrow night will be Kobe Bryants last NBA game. He says hes looking forward to retirement and his teammates are looking forward to finding out what the ball feels like. Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg: It has been one day and Kobe Bryant is having problems adjusting to retirement. He was having dinner with his family, family-style, and he couldnt pass the peas. Brad Rock in the Deseret News: Toymaker Mattel is out

    $3M after unwittingly wiring funds to cyber-thieves in China. Which is not dissimilar to the Nets paying Joe Johnson $25M for this season. Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, on Ernie Els putting woes at the Masters: Ernie Els six-putted the first green at The Masters. Theres a phrase for that in golf: Greg Cote. Comic Torben Rolfsen, on the cruelty of sports: One hour Jordan Spieth is the new Tiger Woods; the next hes Jean van de Velde. RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: The Panthers got two delay-of-game penalties when fans tossed dozens of plastic rats on the ice. In the old days teams drew penalties by throwing Ken Linseman on the ice.

    Another one from Kaseberg: Johnny Football Manziels agent has dumped him. Its bad, he is now officially Johnny Starbucks Barista Manziel. Janice Hough, of leftcoastsportsbabe.com: In the NFL, Oakland and San Francisco may combine to honour Golden State (and their 73 wins): this years Raiders are likely to win 7 games, while the 49ers are likely to win 3.Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: If corpulent Red Sox third baseman Pablo Sandoval were a car, hed be in the shop getting: a) heavier suspension springs; b) a gas-tank reduction; c) a belt replaced.

    to explain that hes trying to set a good example for his son. In fact he wants to teach his 13-year-old son that theres nothing wrong with men cooking and to always be true to himself. Eventually Rita gets into a confrontation with the mascot of the bake-o , The Pills-bury Doughboy, which brings laughter as Rita pokes him with a roll-ing pin then kisses the Doughboy passionately as she deals with her feelings regarding the competition. When the Doughboy takes o his mascot head, he wishes that Paul will win the contest, which sends Rita into an even bigger emotional spiral. As the play con-cludes Paul comforts a distraught Rita. With serious tones, but laughable moments the performance had the audiences full attention.13 Signs You Should Stop Being a Pirate The next perform-ance the drama club performed was 13 Signs You should Stop Being a Pirate by A.M. Dittman. Originally suppos-ed to be performed on the Tuesday as well the group had technical di culties, which had it postponed until the Wednesday. The sound crashed 30 seconds into our opening night per-formance, Christine Branyik-Thornton ex-plained. After a battle to resuscitate it, we had to call the show. An actor and tech night-mare. The audience was so gracious and understanding thank you. My team pulled up their boot straps, dug in and rebuilt the shows,

    Mrs. Betty McBride (Cassidy Roy) was a special guest at the Bake-O held in Lampman with drama students showcasing their abilities on Tuesday, April 12.

    merman, and seam-stress Marilyn Zimmer-man.Region One Festival The students took these plays to festival and did very well, earn-ing multiple awards in-cluding the best Visual Production at Festival for 13 Signs You should Stop Being a Pirate. Lampman drama received Best Stage Manager which went to Darian Freeden. The Bob Hinnett Best Tech-nical Student of Festival Runner up was earned by KLyn Duttenho er, a Technical Excellence Medal was received by Ashley Kerslake for the Doughboy head con-struction, and Technical Merit Awards went to Taylor Grimes (cos-tume), Hannah Stinson (props and backstage manager), and Hayley Dechaine (stage man-agement and follow spot). The Souris Valley Theatre Best Character Actor of the Festival went to Carter Branyik-Thornton, while acting merit awards were re-ceived by Cassidy Roy, Adrianna Raynard, and Donavon Andrews. The unsung Hero award was given to two deserving students: Hayley De-chaine and Ashley Ker-slake.

    cue by cue, setting up multiple computer sta-tions and working til nearly midnight til it was done, better than the original. This is real learning. The real thing. I am amazed and grateful for my students more than I ever im-agined could be. Actors and techies alike. The performance was then held the next night with free admis-sion and the drama club was relieved that the issue occurred at a time they were able to re-cover from the technical di culty as opposed to during festival. The Wednesday night performance was again well attended by the community, all ex-tremely pleased to have made the journey back as many laughs were had during the perform-ance. During the perform-ance of 13 Signs You Should Stop Being a Pirate Jaime played by Cassidy Roy questioned why anyone would want to be a pirate. From wondering what is so great about the sea to the excess greed and sword ghting to the limited pets available to the nal reason not to be a pirate, death. At each turn, Jaimes questioning attitude was countered by the Pirate Narrator, various pirates, and the rest of the crew. The Pirate Narrator was portrayed by Adrianna Raynard, while vari-ous speaking pirates included Carter Bran-yik-Thornton who was channeling Captain Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean, Dona-von Andrews, Kaya Fur-ey, Alexis Christensen, and Devyn Smyth. The rest of the pirate crew was played by Brandon

    Miller, Isaiah Smith, Colton Schell, and Lon-don Vinck. Hilarity ensued throughout the play as Jaime questioned the status quo, introducing new ideas for a pirate ag (a unicorn with wings ying over a rain-bow or maybe a kitty), and a discussion about whether a fellow pirate was in love with a mer-maid or a manatee. In the end the group decided on an origin-al ending. In the play following the death of Jaime who comes back as a ghost, the play simply ends. Using their creativity, Lamp-man drama decided to add a comic, yet tragic ending to the play. As Jaimes ghost comes back to haunt the ship, death being a clear sign you should stop being a pirate, the pirates become uneasy and at-tempts to run Jaimes ghost through with their swords. The pirates didnt think through the etherealness of the ghost and in the end falling backwards, all dying, as they clutch at sword wounds. The performance could not have been made possible with-out those behind the scenes including teach-er/director Christine Branyik-Thornton, stage manager/lighting Darian Freeden, assist-ant stage manager/follow spot Hayley Dechaine, sound de-sign/operator KLyn Duttenho er, costume manager Taylor Grimes, props/backstage man-ager Hannah Stinson, assistant backstage manager Desiree Kautz, props/set Theatre 20 and Arts Education classes, make-up Kaitlin Stephens, set/sword construction Stan Zim-

    Jaime (Cassidy Roy) shows potential new ag drawings to a fellow pirate (Carter Branyik-Thornton) including one of a unicorn with wings ying over a rainbow. Her fellow pirate is unimpressed calling it a Pegasus with a horn and suggests they come up with something like a kraken or shark instead.

    Administrative Professionals Week

    Administrative Professionals Week will be cele-brated throughout North America from April 24 to 30, 2016. Take this opportunity to honour and thank the secretaries and administrative assistants that you work with every day, because theyre essential to the success of every organization.

    Do you think of a secretary as the person who an-swers the phone, notes down appointments and pre-pares coffee for her boss? You are way off the mark. Todays secretaries perform varied and demanding tasks ranging from customer service, project manage-ment, the prepa- ration of documents, event planning and public relations to various daily administrative tasks. In other words, secretaries and administrative assistants and any other members of the adminis-trative support staff play a key role in every office.

    And it isnt just anyone who can handle being a secretary. To be effective in getting all the work done, secretaries have to possess more than a few quali-ties and skills. They have to be careful listeners, and they have to be independent and resourceful. They are excellent oral and written communicators and often work in both official languages. They need to have lots of initiative and good organization skills. These dy-namic and efficient workers also have to be extremely adaptable, as they are constantly learning to work with new IT tools. With so much talent, no wonder they are indispensable!

    So, during National Administrative Professionals Week, lets take the time to pay tribute to these versa-tile and dedicated people who participate so actively in the success of every organization. They deserve it.

    The essential roleof an administrative assistant
