The Goalie

hen Jack was a young boy growing up on a farm in Donovan, just outside of Delisle, SK, he always used to put some extra hustle into doing his Saturday afternoon chores - he wanted to make absolutely sure he didn't miss the puck drop on Hockey Night in Canada.

At that time, there was no TV in the rural areas of Saskatchewan, only radio.

Jack would sit on the floor right next to the radio, leaning toward it, not wanting to miss a word, listening with an avid attentiveness that would have made any of his grade school teachers giddy with delight (and surprise).

There were radio broadcasters at the time, like Foster Hewitt, who could make the game come to life with their colourful commentaries and play-byplay descriptions. But they were still no match for the play-by-play action in Jack's head which was infinitely more vivid and real than could be portrayed by just a voice over the radio. Even colour TV, still yet to be invented, would pale in comparison.

Jack’s greatest dream, greatest fantasy, like that of thousands of other young Canadians, was to skate onto the ice at the Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto as a player for what he thought was the greatest team in the world, maybe even the greatest team in the history of the world, the Toronto Maple Leafs.

(Not that Toronto had, has or ever will have, the greatest hockey team - it was just that Jack, in his youth and innocence, was very easily and seriously mis-led.

One of my neighbours is of the opinion, somewhat stridently voiced, that the Maple Leafs should be true to their name and consigned to the yard waste barrel) Like the dreams of those thousands of other youngsters, that dream of Jack’s was never realized - and that was because Jack got to surpass even that fantastic dream.

Jack skated onto the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens for the first time when he was playing for the Boston Bruins.

Jack was the starting goalie for the Bruins and in that first game against the Toronto Maple Leafs he earned himself a shut-out - a shut-out against the greatest team in the world - even Jack's boyhood imagination couldn't dream a dream that amazing.

When Jack started his professional hockey career as a goalie in 1960, the custom then was to play without helmets. The goalies were additionally put at risk by not wearing face masks.

The hockey puck is 6 ounces (180 grams) of hard, black, frozen-solid lethality travelling at speeds that can

reach in excess of 100 miles (160 kilometres) an hour.

To put it in maybe better understood terms: 100 miles an hour is equal to slightly more than 145 feet per second so a shot from 25 feet out (the length of the garage on your house) reaches the goalie in about 1/6 of a second not much time there to ponder your options.

When Jack was playing for the Bruins he used to face up against the likes of Bobby Hull who was playing for the Blackhawks.

On one memorable occasion, early in Jack's career, he stopped one of Bobby's slapshots with his head. Some time later, when Jack woke up in the dressing room, he opened his eyes, still flat out on his back, to the sight of Bobby peering at him with concern on his face and then heard Bobby say, "Jeez, kid, I thought I'd killed you."

Jack got cleaned up and got stitched up and the very next day, got suited up - he had a game to play. Tough guy? Still concussed? Or maybe it's that you can put a Saskatchewan farm boy down but you can't put him down for long.

Jack says that he always loved penalty shots, he was never fearful about them, he just really loved the challenge, loved living up to the challenge - even without a mask.

Jack played professional hockey for 17 seasons, including minor league intermissions, from 1960 through 1976. As well as the Boston Bruins, he also played for, among others, the Chicago Blackhawks, the LA Kings, and even the best of the best, the Edmonton Oilers.

Jack's last game in professional hockey was a WHA game in 1976.

He was playing for the Phoenix Roadrunners alongside the great Gordie Howe and in that game Jack was awarded the game star. Jack figured what better way to end his career than with a game like that playing alongside one of hockey's icons and getting a game star in the process.

Dreams don't get any better than that.

One of the great things about Jack is that he has always been in awe of how lucky he has been to play professional hockey - "I always wondered how come I could make it in pro-hockey" he says.

Anybody who knows Jack or has followed his career wonders if, perhaps, it may have been talent and skill - and a stubborn reluctance to duck.

Jack Norris is being inducted into the Saskatchewan Hockey Hall of Fame this year (2024) at an award ceremony taking place July 12 in Swift Current.

Letters to the Editor Where Your Power Comes From Dear Editor, In your February issue under letters to the editor, a reader wrote about misinformation on their Saskpower bill regarding carbon taxes.

Another thing Saskpower customers should be aware of is that there are certain problems with sources of generation of power. If you go on the Saskpower website and look under " Where Your Power Comes From" you can find out detailed information on all sources of power generation.

less than 25 % of their stated wattage rating over the course of a calendar year. You can build 100's more of these systems at huge costs and they still have zero output at times when you need power the most. If you are wondering why your power bill keeps going up, this is probably a good explanation. You can also read about the contracts signed by saskpower with these green? generation companies. If solar and wind generation worked as advertised, your power bills would be going down, not up.

During the fall and winter months and especially the January minus 43 weather, the output of solar and wind generation has been low and actually zero for long periods. And during this time our hydro, natural gas, and clean coal power generation has provided 99% of our provinces needs. These 3 types of generation can deliver this baseload power 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year!

The output of solar and wind deliver

To be fair, I have 5 cattle pastures where I use low power load solar charged battery storage water pumping systems. They work great in June, July and August, but I do notice an output decline as sunlight hours are reduced. If it's cloudy for more than a few days I have had to swap out the deep cycle batteries for some freshly charged batteries and as the weather gets colder I have had to add more solar panels, bigger charge controllers, and more batteries

T

to keep the system operating. When it gets really cold there is no way to run any form of a heating device to keep the trough from freezing. Motion detectors and nose pumps are available for other options but may risk water well contamination.

I would say that production of wind farms, solar farms, and electric vehicles require enormous amounts of material to be mined out of the earth. I don't see how there is any overall benefit for society with this type of mining and the harm caused by it. The so called green energy is supplemental at best and we should just concentrate on building reliable baseload power to cover our needs night and day, no matter the weather conditions.

If you want to personally invest in a supplemental power system, it should be your choice and not forced upon us.

High Expectations Negatively Impact Your Emotional Landscape

By Nick Kossovan

he relationship between your expectations and your emotions is direct; for this reason, it's wise to cultivate the skill of managing your expecta-

tions.

The difference between your expectations and reality, sometimes chasmic, determines how often you experience hurt, disappointment, anger, stress, happiness, or satisfaction. Imagine the rollercoaster of emotions generated by waking up on a sunny morning, expecting to start your day with a cup of coffee, and then finding out your coffee machine isn't working.

We're creative at creating narratives to soothe ourselves, especially regarding how our choices today will influence our tomorrows. When we set out to do something, we always expect everything to turn out exactly how we want. Does this sound familiar?

•"After I graduate, companies will line up to hire me, offering me a great salary so I can live comfortably."

•"Tessa is the love of my life. We'll date for a few months, move in together, get married, buy a house in the suburbs with a big backyard and a two-car garage, and have kids. BOOM! Happy life."

•"My business idea is fail-proof. Venture capitalists will be clamouring to invest in my startup. I'll hire some awesome talent to build my product and business. In five years, I'll sell the company for $300 million."

•"I'll make videos of me doing something daring and upload them on Instagram. My videos will go viral, and voila, I'll be a social media celebrity, inundated with endorsement offers."

Do these scenarios have a chance of becoming reality?

I can't say exactly, but I'd wager it's close to zero.

Reality check: •A degree doesn't guarantee a successful career. Most people underestimate the effort and sacrifices required to achieve the career success they claim to want.

•The odds of finding your soulmate, let alone having a long-term relationship with them, is slim, especially as we live increasingly online, choosing to build relationships through the Internet rather than investing in personal interactions, which require venturing out.

Finding your soulmate is less likely if you're not physically "out there."

•According to the website Failory, up to 90% of startups fail.

•Becoming a social media celebrity… really?

I'm not trying to discourage dreams; however, pragmatism never hurts. It's impractical to have high expectations (aka. unrealistic expectations) because they're more likely not to come true and do more emotional harm than good. This is certainly true when it comes to what we expect from our purchases.

Until recently, my consumerism was driven by the narratives I kept telling myself about expected outcomes. A few years ago, I said to myself that when I buy a new laptop and subscribe to a writing app, I'll write more. So, after I Googled "What's the best laptop for writers," I bought XYZ laptop and subscribed to a recommended writing app. The result: my writing output remained the same.

Here's what I noticed about my consumerism, which likely applies to you. When buying with an "expected outcome" narrative running in my head, I'm happy.

When the expected outcome doesn't materialize, I become unhappy, frustrated, and angry. To get the happy endorphin rush again, I create a new expected outcome narrative. For example, I’ll say to myself if I wear an Omega watch, I’ll be viewed as a James Bondtype guy. Expected outcomes are how I ended up with an '82 Corvette, several leather jackets, countless selfhelp books and As Seen On TV products (If it's too good to be true...) and taking expensive vitamin supplements.

Marketers leverage our never-ending quest to find and/or create happiness by weaving into their product promises, either explicitly or implied, that their product is what you need to be happy, desirable, respected, and, most importantly, accepted. Buying stuff with the expectation that it’ll make us happy or that people will perceive us differently and, therefore, treat us differently defines Western consumerism. A good deal of our unhappiness is the result of our stuff not meeting our expectations.

Divorcing myself from high expectations has taken me a long time. Actually, my divorce has yet to be finalized. Having high standards, being driven, and aiming high is a good thing; just don't let your imagination, or worse, your sense of entitlement, create expected outcome narratives that determine your purchases, reasons to pursue, timelines and expected outcomes.

I'm not sharing some earth-shattering lifehack. We all know through repeated experience that our expectations influence our emotions. Aside from “our product will change your life!” marketing propaganda and seeking shortcuts to happiness, recognition, and respect, what else influences our expectations?

•People posting their filtered lives on social media.

•Seeing those around you driving a new automobile, living in a beautiful home, vacationing twice a year, and raving about the restaurants they frequent.

(Never said: Their debt burden to support their projected lifestyle.)

Thanks to easy access to credit and social media, fake success is everywhere, which subconsciously makes us want more than we already have, which is probably enough. The key to lowering your expectations is to reduce your desire for attention and recognition, to be seen as successful, and to have your beliefs, values, and culture universally accepted. Set your expectations based on what’s most important—what you’ve probably been neglecting—your best interests.

The most manageable lever you can pull that’ll help you achieve happiness and ratch down your stress isn't your reality; it's your expectations.

In a world that seems spiralling downward, lowering your expectations is a form of self-kindness you probably need right now.

FARMING REPORTS

2024 Saskatchewan Crop Planning Guide and Crop Planner tools are now available for download

T

he Crop Planning Guide and Crop Planner Calculator provide information that can help estimate the income and cost of production for different crops in the various soil zones in the province.

DELISLE CO-OP ANNUAL MEETING

The detailed calculations in this guide are based on the inputs and returns associated with attaining a target yield in the 80th percentile for each soil zone. Actual costs and yields on each farm will differ due to the condition and type of equipment, the selection of crop protection products and other inputs, agronomic practices, soil class and weather conditions. Producers are also expected to set their own target yields and costs.

Wednesday April 24, 2024 7:00pm at Delisle Town Hall Call for Nominations Three Director Positions

Changes to the 2024 Guide

Please submit your signed nomination papers to the Delisle Co-op by March 22, 2024

For further information please call Darin Sekulich General Manager or Michelle Rathgeber Office Manager at

306-493-2212

The updates to this guide include changes to land investment. We are now assuming 85 per cent is owned and 15 per cent is financed. This has changed from producers financing 100 per cent of the crop in past years.

Based on the guide’s calculations (where the 80-percentile yield is achieved), 16 major crops included in the guide provide positive returns over variable expenses. In addition, nine crops in the black soil zone, seven crops in dark brown and five crops in the brown soil zones achieve positive returns over total expenses.

Ministry regional specialists are also available to provide advice about appropriate agronomic practices and cost assumptions.
