Editorial More Cops than Robbers ?

R

ecently the buzz of crime in our local communities came to my attention through social media postings, coffee row gossip, a letter to the editor and my neighbours.

Again, a lack of policing gets blamed.

Maybe... let’s take a look at that.

West and south of Saskatoon, we are served by the following police forces...

RCMP, Corman Park Police, Vanscoy Police, Saskatoon Police Service and the Protection and Response Team (PRT), consisting of Saskatchewan Highway Patrol Officers/Conservation Officers.

Recently the Province announced funding to expanded crime fighters...

- Provincial Protective Services (PPS) will now use the Highway Patrol and Conservation Officers and Prisoner Transport/Court Security Sheriffs.

- Crime Reduction Team (CRT) targets street gangs, urban/rural crime surges - Warrant Enforcement and Suppression Team (WEST) in Saskatoon which targets high-profile offenders

Most recently they announced the new Saskatchewan Marshals Service (SMS) tasked with responding to areas of high crime rates, executing arrest warrants and investigate farm theft/trespassing.

Holy crap... more crime fighters than a blockbuster Marvel movie !

I’m sure this will affect the lives of the criminals, but what about us ?

Rural Saskatchewan, with more miles of highways per capita than anywhere on earth, will never be effectively serviced by any amount of police services alone.

It is up to us to become involved in the solutions. We need to make use of the existing Rural Crime Watch programs, use social media in real time, and create effective two-way communication with the local police forces to prevent, not just react to local crimes.

Otherwise, just lock yourself in your house and watch another movie.

Down the Road

by Brian Brannagan

Learning Spanish

e are in a grocery store in Mazatlan, Mrs. B and I, stocking up on a few groceries to take back to our rented condo.

At the check-out, we start taking groceries out of the cart and putting them onto the conveyor belt headed for the cashier.

Well, that is what Mrs. B does, anyway.

I spend a lot of time at the computer, using different programs, trying to learn the basic grammar of the language and trying to build a vocabulary, trying to remember it all.

When I am away from the condo, I try to speak Spanish, practicing, with store clerks and taxi drivers and even strangers in the street if they'll stand still long enough.

I am busy watching the young lady and infant child behind us. The baby is in a stroller and the mother is engaging with the baby, trying to make her laugh. And the baby is obviously delighted - she is laughing with her mouth wide open and nary a tooth in sight. I can’t help but be fascinated.

I have a standard little speech. I say "Hello, I am trying to learn to speak Spanish. I am a slow learner but I am trying very hard."

And I thank them for their patience in listening to the long pauses as I struggle to remember the words.

The mother turns and sees me looking and gives a slight smile of acknowledgment - which I take as my cue to practice my Spanish on her. So, I say to her, in Spanish, that she has a very cute baby. But the mother, instead of smiling and agreeing with my compliment, just sort of frowns and quickly turns away, averting her gaze.

This is not an unusual reaction to my attempts at charm, so I just mentally shrug, take the hint and step away, get busy bagging our groceries.

But then I begin to wonder if maybe my rudimentary Spanish and awkward pronunciation didn't quite convey what I intended. When we get back to the condo, I go on the computer to google translate and sure enough, instead of telling her that she has a very cute baby, I had told her that her bagel had a dirty face.

Oops.

We're here in Mazatlan for a month, escaping the winter cold and snow and enjoying the beaches and the warmth of the tropical sun.

(As an aside - for any of you gentlemen who go on hot tropical winter interludes with your wives: if your wife comes back to your hotel room feeling, um, a little 'out of sorts', shall we say, after spending too much time in the hot sun on the beach, don't (do not) joke that she is, perhaps, just feeling a little "beach-y". It will not go well. I assure you of this.)

We've been coming to Mazatlan during the winter for a few years, staying a little longer each time and once again, I am making a serious effort to learn the language, to learn to speak Spanish.

And other than the odd mishap, it's a very interesting endeavour, giving me a personal insight into what immigrants to Canada must experience and how they must feel having to cope with the difficulty of learning a new language.

Of course, It must be even harder for them than it is for me. I, at least, have the benefit of a warm, sunny climate acting as a counterpoint to the frustration of my inability to learn more quickly and remember more easily.

And Mrs. B, as always, is very supportive of my efforts.

That's okay, Mr. B, she says.

You may not have a very good memory, she soothes, but you do have a very good forgetter.

Mexicans speak very quickly - very, very quickly.

They don't seem to leave pauses between their words and one word just slides into the next.

Part of that rapid speech is, I think, just out of the sheer necessity of time some Mexican words are so long that if you don't say them quickly, you'll be at it all day.

For example, in English we have the word "parking" - two syllables. In Mexican, that word takes 8 (eight) syllables, with each syllable spoken at the speed of light.

I was talking to the receptionist lady at the condo - she was humouring me, letting me practice my Spanish with her, see if I could make myself understood. While I was standing there, and during one of my long pauses, one of the cleaning ladies came to speak with the receptionist. The cleaning lady let forth with a torrent of Spanish - she was speaking so quickly I couldn't understand a single word she said. Not. One. Single. Word.

After the cleaning lady left, I must have looked especially flummoxed because the receptionist confided to me that yes, sometimes the cleaning lady spoke so quickly it made even her head hurt. Meanwhile, my head felt like it had exploded.

But for as quickly as the Mexicans speak, and for as hurried as they may sound when they speak, what is truly remarkable is the patience each and every one of them shows me when I try speaking to them in their own language. I am always fully aware that I am a guest in their country and I try to behave accordingly. It appears though, from my experience with Mexicans, that they are also very aware of their role as hosts - their patience and kindness is always at the Olympic level.

Meanwhile, everybody, as I have said in Spanish to all the Mexicans I encountered on this trip - I am wanting for you a good day to will have.

Letters to the Editor To the Citizens of Vanscoy and Area, There are thieves on the loose.

Do they live in our community or have they come in ?

In the early morning of February 16th in the Village of Vanscoy, thieves broke into our garage using pry bars, breaking door casings and door locks.

They not only stole our car, but came into the house and stole several tools, cell phones and an ipad, while we were in bed, asleep.

Retired CAF Warrant Officer Robert (Bob) McCrea of Delisle is awarded Quilt of Valour

O

n March 1st in Delisle, retired Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Warrant Officer Robert (Bob) McCrea and current president of the Delisle Legion received his quilt by Marcie Erick, the Area Coordinator of Quilts of Valour – Canada.

Marcie graciously drove in from Swift Current to present the quilt in front of members of the Delisle Legion #184, family and friends.

These quilts are presented to members of the Canadian Armed Forces that were injured during their service.

Quilts of Valour is a volunteer group across Canada that create quilts and donates them to nominated serving and retired personnel.

Our car was then used for a break-in at the local gas station. There were also other reported crimes in our Village the same night.

To add insult to injury, my husband was in Saskatoon six days later at the SaskTel Mobility store on Faithful Avenue, and his truck was stolen ! It was locked.

An employee witnessed a tall, thin man get into the truck and drive away.

THE TRUCK WAS LOCKED !

Be on the lookout for slow moving vehicles and get a license number if possible. LOCK YOUR VEHICLE, in or out of your garage.

Let’s make this a safe community. We have a lovely village and let’s keep it that way.

Vanscoy Senior Citizen Club Annual Membership Drive Thursday, April 20 7:00pm Vanscoy Senior Centre

I

n 1974 membership cards were ordered and the Vanscoy Senior Citizens Club (VSCC) was formed.

The original members wanted to start something for older adults in our community to do for recreation, or just gather for a visit and some coffee. In that same year the Village of Vanscoy decided that the large concrete roof of their reservoir for water supply would provide a foundation and floor for a new building.

It was decided that as well as a village office, the additional space could be utilized for a Senior Citizen Centre. So with the help of the senior citizens, the building was constructed and completed ready for use in November of 1977. The Grandora Community Club disbanded that same year and contributed $3000 to VSCC. This contribution was a great boost along with smaller cash and article donations making it possible for the club house to officially open January 25, 1978.

Some of the activities that are carried on to present day are: pool, shuffleboard, card games, suppers, bingos, and coffee time.

Everyone 55 years and older are invited to attend this meeting to see what the VSCC is all about.

Membership is only $5.00 per year.

Delisle & District Health Council public meeting discusses the state of Local Rural Healthcare

I

n recent months the Delisle and District Heath Council (DDHC) and the Delisle Inter Agency Group (DIAG) expressed concerns about the lack of a physician and Nurse Practitioner services available at the Delisle Primary Health Centre since the retirement of the physician in 2019. For a short period of time the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) had provides an additional 75% NP services in the absence of a physician to only discontinue the services a year later. The recruitment of a physician to practise out of the local health centre has to date not been successful.

On March 3, 2023, the DDHC hosted a Town Hall Meeting to discuss health care concerns in Delisle and the district. Thanks go to: the Delisle Senior Citizens Club for the donation of the hall and assisting with setup and teardown: the local Delisle Coop for their donation of coffee; Colleen Carr for the donation of her sound system.

The front panel consisted of: moderator Deb Winder, Delisle Town Councillor and Chair of the DDHC; Carla Beck, MLA for Regina Lakeview, Leader of the Opposition; Vicki Mowat, MLA for Saskatoon Fairview and Opposition Deputy Leader, Critic for Health and Mental Health and Addictions; Matt Love, MLA for Saskatoon Eastview, Opposition Caucus Chair, and Critic for Rural and Remote Health, Seniors and Addictions.

All the panel members made opening remarks before Ms. Winder read the comments sent by Hon. Everett Hindley, Ministers of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health. In part he stated that in addition to the existing full time Nurse Practitioner (NP), the SHA is hiring a NP to provide services in Delisle an additional two days a week. Interviews are underway. Officials will be monitoring utilization of NP services in Delisle so that further increases can be implemented in the future based on the data.

The public was then encouraged to share their concerns about health care in our area. The panel was given an opportunity to respond to the concerns raised.

Community concerns included the need to restore services to where they have been in the past not just an additional 40% NP. Comments were made about the value of our present NP. The clinic needs to be accepting new patients. The new NP will be working

through the present waiting list but we anticipate the waiting list to increase. Some would like to see the Health Centre be expanded to a walk-in clinic.

Others were not completely aware of all the services that the Health Centre offers and others brought up concerns about Home Care in our area and the needto-know what services are now offered.

Also discussed were additional services required like food prep and light housekeeping. This led to a discussion about Seniors Care and the gaps in the personal and long-term care needs.

Hospital services were discussed including ambulance attendants sitting in emergency rooms because the hospitals are short staffed. Wait times in emergency rooms and having to lay in a bed in the hallway due to lack of space in hospitals.

The LEAN program implemented in hospitals was discussed. The concern is that it has left hospitals working with the minimum of staff and often end up working short staffed or having to pay out overtime to an excess.

The transition between SHA and Social Services for children with special needs as they become adults and need to rely on different support systems. There appears to be a disconnect.

Double Interlocked Hand Stitched

DARWIN’S LEATHERWORK

The NDP critics have been having town halls in many centres across the province.

They reassured the citizens present that they would take the concerns to the government. They did have some petitions available for endorsement.

The DDHC will promote the services available at the Health Centre and continue to advocate on behalf of the Delisle and District. And they will continue to encourage everyone to use the local services available.

Are You Willing to Pay for Social Media?

A

re you willing to pay for access to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, LinkedIn, etc. ?

The Internet was founded on the premise that information should be freely available, which ironically turned out to be one of the Internet's biggest drawbacks.

Only a decade ago, everyone was questioning how Facebook makes money. No one asks that anymore. We now know that "free" access to the Internet and social media platforms comes at a cost: Advertising and collecting your personal data.

The critical component of social media companies' business models is to micro-target individuals with ads. This requires massive user surveillance and using engagement-juicing algorithms to keep users onsite as long as possible. Hence, the Internet we have today: An advertising-dominated digital landscape filled with misinformation and privacy concerns.

Yes, Internet access is free; however, the trade-off is that you are the product.

Social media companies make their money in the billions off your attention, eyeballs, clicks and, most of all, the information you voluntarily provide. (Statista estimates in 2023, US companies will spend over $94.4 billion on social media advertising.) Influencing beliefs, desires, and behaviours is lucrative.

Obviously, not all Internet content is free. A thriving pay-to-play market (aka. subscription services) for music, books, movies and television exists on the Internet.

By Nick Kossovan Online, anger is cheap and can be expressed autonomously. Taking advantage of how easily we get angry and offended, social media companies, using algorithms we train when we use social media platforms, repeatedly immerses us in tribal indignation to increase our screen time. Perversely, our outrage has become valuable because it serves the interests of advertisers who keep the Internet and social media free.

An Internet truth: Every lie on the Internet serves someone's purpose.

Next time you scroll through your social media feeds, envision yourself sitting in an algorithm-guided car, giving you a free ride through ad-filled digital landscapes. Imagine your car has learned which arguments push your hot buttons and presents them to you, enticing you to linger and engage.

If we paid for our social media presence, the outrage would cease to be cheap to us and valuable to social media companies. An additional benefit of paying to access social media is it would discourage trolls and malcontents since they would lose anonymity, which is what makes it easy to be a jerk online.

If you are wondering why social media companies are not working feverishly to make their platforms toxic-free: Ad revenue keeps them too well-fed to pursue alternative revenue streams seriously, such as charging their users.

Social media platforms are choosing to operate in ways that do not benefit our collective good but profit their business.

Consumers are comfortable paying for access to the content I just mentioned. So here is the million-dollar question: Would consumers pay for Facebook-style social experiences or LinkedIn-style networking with professionals in their field and industry?

Would a pay-to-play social media structure affect user composition?

Would social media become an extrovert's playground if autonomy were gone? (I assume many anonymous social media accounts are created by "shy people.")

Two more questions:

Would a pay-to-play social media structure result in higher-quality content since users would be more invested?

1. If we paid to access the Internet and social media, how would it change?

2. Would paying to access the Internet and social media solve its problems?

I can see the marketing strategy: Tired of the online cesspool?

You can access a clean social media version for a nominal fee.

Successful subscription models (e.g., Netflix, Bodyselfie TV, Amazon Prime, Scribd, Wall Street Journal) exist because subscribers feel they are getting something of value; access to films, games, news, TV series, books, or fitness instructors. With Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok, LinkedIn, etc., the "something of value" is largely intangible.

I will put aside the Internet's privacy issue everyone claims to be concerned about since the solution is simple: Stop freely sharing your personal information. Instead, I will speak to the Internet's and social media's real danger: We have lost our collective cool.

Undeniably, the current state of social media has many people angry— namely, the rapid decline in civility. People are finally becoming aware that social media is destabilizing our mental health, fracturing our attention spans, and spreading misinformation globally.

Though it is impossible to say with certainty, I believe the Internet and social media would improve significantly if we had to pay for it; undeniably, it would be less toxic. On the other hand, would having to pay to access the Internet and social media turn many people away? Probably. However, I would argue that in a socially holistic sense, we would be better off spending less time online.

This Delisle Farmer’s Invention Saves Time by Controlling Product Flow from Hopper Bottom Bins

T

he Flo-Gate was designed by local Saskatchewan farmer Doug Stoll of Delisle. It is a simple durable solution for managing the movement of grain or fertilizer from hopper bottom bins.

Flo-Gate was initially developed to solve the problem of grain screenings getting hung up or bridged in the bin. All bulk products have some serging that occurs. Flo-Gate allows the bins' slide to be opened further, letting any bulk product flow unimpeded into the augers' hopper. The Full Service Pumps auger takes what it Pay at the Pump Option Available needs, this results in faster augering, eliminating the need for the operator to Annual constantly adjust the Meeting bin slide and when the auger stops the product Wednesday automatically stops April 12 flowing, no need to run Delisle Hall and close the bins' slide.

As with any equipment always turn off the machine and motor before attaching or adjusting the Flo-Gate.

Flo-Gate is locally manufactured with polyethylene, recycling #4 and comes with two cold weather rubber straps and sock, which is made from UV resistant tarp material.

Flo-Gate is now available for direct purchase on their website. Visit it to order or to see the product in action. www.flo-gate.ca
