A Walk With My Daughter

I

went for a walk with my daughter the other day.

It was a walk that I had been sort of anticipating, maybe even looking forward to, but at the same time, I was not without some trepidation.

When I brought my daughter home from the hospital just a few days after her birth, our route home was along Deerfoot Trail in Calgary. The speed limit was 100 km per hour and I was doing 60 - white-knuckling my way along in the slow lane being superultra-careful to avoid any bumps and unnecessarily jounce my precious cargo. I was overwhelmed with my responsibility, my duty-of-care.

My daughter.

With the passage of some 35 years I look back and seemingly only a few days after bringing her home my daughter was taking her first few tentative steps, falling often and crying but also picking herself up and trying again. Learning to walk, learning to be independent.

Still it was a process. Going outside for a walk meant having to stop every second step to examine the flowers and weeds growing out of cracks in the sidewalk or to watch the peripatetic routes of ants scurrying from one place to another, never in a straight line.

In the ensuing years, though she was quite competent to walk, I never refused her a request to be carried, something in the back of my brain knowing that one day she wouldn't want to be carried and that beyond that there would be a day I was physically unable, unavailable, to carry her.

I had an initial premonition of this on her first day of kindergarten. I parked the truck and lifted her out of her car seat settling her in on my arm and against my shoulder, prepared to deliver her to the school door, and even into the classroom and onto her chair, if that was what was wanted.

She squirmed in my arms and asked to be put down. "I can walk, Daddy," she said. And while I was proud of her for her independence, I was also a little sad that I wasn't needed anymore, that that aspect of being

her hero was shifting into the background.

But that moment, and others, of independence didn't deter her from asking to be carried when we went on hikes in the parks and mountains around our home. And I was more than happy to oblige. I had a backpack for her to ride in for when she was tired, or bored and which got frequent use on the uphill portion of the trails.

She managed to anticipate the interesting spots and summits and would scramble out of the backpack just in time to run to the top, leaving me in gasping pursuit. And of course, she would be tired on the tail end of the hike as well and would get carried over the finish line.

Memorably, at the end of one hike, a long and hot excursion, I helped my daughter out of the backpack and laid myself flat out on my back on the grass, hot, tired and worn out. She came and sat on my stomach, and in the way of tired but still excited young children, peed. On me.

The walk I took with my daughter the other day wasn't as long as the walks when she discovered ants, nor was it as arduous as some of our mountain hikes, but it seemed that way.

I didn't get to finish that walk with my daughter. A few steps short of her destination she stopped, turned to me and hugged me. She turned forward again and proceeded to take the last few steps on her own.

Because for her, for my daughter, this walk was a walk into another stage of her life, a new and exciting stage, a stage she was happy and eager to begin.

After taking those last few steps, she joined hands with the young man waiting for her and together they stood hand in hand, smiling and facing each other as they pronounced their wedding vows.

And again, just as I was overcome with emotion when she first came home from the hospital, I was overwhelmed.

My daughter.

Vanscoy Co-op Grand Opening has Tremendous Community Response

T

he grand opening of the new Vanscoy Co-op drew a tremendous response from the Vanscoy community. The Vanscoy/Delisle Catholic Church was in attendance to work the concession where they served over 400 free burgers and hotdogs, courtesy of the Co-op. People also received free treats and water bottles from the co-op as well.

General Manager of the Delisle Co-op, Darin Sekulich, Vanscoy Manager Lana Piche, and the entire co-op board and staff extend a huge thank you to everyone who took time out of their day to attend, and they are very thankful for the support of the community and surrounding area.

The new Vanscoy location offers both cardlock and full serve retail pumps, fresh made sandwiches and Vern’s pizza, milk, fresh baking and a wide selection of confectionary offerings - and the coffee is always hot!

Memberships are available on location, and of course apply to both Vanscoy and Delisle. For the truckers, they offer showers, 24 hour bathroom access with cardlock card, and a large parking area for overnight stays.

In the near future the showers will also be 24 hour card access. They look forward to the future of being part of the Vanscoy community and surrounding area

onstruction has been ongoing at the new water pumphouse site over the past year.

Long delivery times on several pieces of equipment have delayed the start-up and operation of the new facility to its full extent.

This fall saw the remaining major components get delivered and installed. Full commissioning and startup of the plant is expected in October.

Following commissioning, the Village’s water distribution will be switched over to the new building and will benefit from increased pumping capacity and a more reliable and modern system.

While the new water pumphouse was being constructed, this summer saw the installation of a new water main within 1st Avenue and Main Street, and fire hydrants have been added to improve fire suppression coverage within the work areas. The new water main has been successfully installed and is operating to provide a more reliable service and increased flow to residents and the school. This project also connected several of the existing water mains into the new system while looping the water system to the west end of Olauson Crescent.

Combined with the new pumphouse, these connections will provide improved flow within the Village and increased fire suppression capacity. Roadway repairs are scheduled to wrap up the water main installation in the coming weeks.

Back lane pickup will be done for the year on October 22. Ensure your branches and yard waste are placed in the alley for pickup prior to that date. Anything placed after that will remain there until spring.

Property taxes are due December 31. Any tax that remains unpaid after that date will be assessed a 10% penalty. Any utility arrears will be added to the tax roll of the property as of December 31. There is a 4% discount on the Municipal Portion of taxes until October 31.

Vanscoy Community Board AGM will be held Wednesday October 18 at the Circle Hall at 7:00 pm. The Regular meeting will follow the AGM.

Delisle Softball 60 Year Reunion

O

n August 26, former Delisle softball players held a reunion to share memories and show appreciation to Norma Colborn, now age 94, for everything she did 60 plus years ago when she started up a softball team for young girls.

Out of a total of 25 players who played on the team in the early 60’s there were 6 who played all 5 years.

Unfortunately 3 players are now deceased, however 12 out of the 25 Norma coached in the early 60s, came to the Berry Barn to share memories. The group included Phyllis Schumacher, one of the core of six, who came from Vancouver and Phyllis Pratt (Shannon) came from Edmonton. Three other players, who wanted to attend, sent messages. All are thankful that Norma was still able to share memories with the team, totally aware of the great role model she has been to so many for so long. After having been active in many activities all her life she is still showing everyone how to grow old with grace and dignity.

The reunion was the brainchild of Linda Boyle (Rayburn), one of the core group of 6, aided by several other players who tracked down and contacted the others.

In 1961, Norma Colborn, started a ball team, in spite of being a busy young farm wife in the Delisle area and having three young children ages 8,6, and 3.

She was assisted by Dean Flanagan, who was the manager of the Co-op at the time.

In 1962 the team won the Provincial Midget Championship (age 16 and under in those years) by defeating a Saskatoon team to win the North and then Moose Jaw in North/South playoff.

They defended their title in 1963 in an epic battle at a Regional playoff in Dinsmore, against a team which included three players who, 7 years later, played for the Saskatoon Imperials that represented Canada in the World Championship in Japan. The winner was

determined in a best of three, 9 inning games, played in one day. Delisle, with a roster of only 12 players, won the first game 9-3. It seemed they were on the same easy victory path they had taken in 1962.

However, in the 2nd game Dinsmore scored 6 runs in the 1st inning. Norma, naturally expecting her team to score like they did in the first game, and still hoping to win in two, changed pitchers to use the same one that started the first game. They only scored 1 run, resulting in a 7-1 loss.

The 3rd game was a battle between evenly matched teams that went 11 innings before Delisle won 10-6.

After 29 innings, of which one pitcher pitched 28, the team was so exhausted they barely enjoyed the win.

However the win put them on the easy path to the Provincial Championship where they once again won the North by beating Saskatoon two straight and the south against Dysart two straight.

1964, the team moved up to Juvenile, where Dinsmore got their revenge by winning the playoff in Delisle.

Every athlete and team has to learn how to lose “the big one” and that was this group’s first lesson.

By 1965 some girls on both teams had graduated and Dinsmore could not field a team, so 4 of their best players joined Delisle. The team won the Commercial Division Provincial Championship.

Out of 15 players on the 1962 team 11 were farm girls, with raw talent, who appreciated the opportunity to play on a “real” team instead of farm yard games or scrub at school recess. As the team started to win Delisle and area showed great support. Every game played at the home field had cars ringing the diamond of the old ball field located south of the tracks. The old dirt infield and clumpy grass outfield made defense a

challenge. The only time the players got a better field was when they were lucky enough to play at the Saskatoon Kinsmen Park.

Roy Norris, a fellow high school student, fledgling radio announcer and future talk show host, announced the home games making it more exciting for everyone.

Several of the players continued to play or coach their children after leaving Delisle, continuing the legacy that Norma began.

Carol Belton (Rayburn) went on to play for the Saskatoon Junior Blue Angels, who won the Canada Games before all of the provinces had All-Star status.

The Blue Angels have been inducted into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame.

Shirley Shockey continued pitching in Regina, where she went to teach school, until the age of 37. She continued her involvement in softball by coaching Regina teams, then Saskatchewan’s teams at the 1989, 1993 and 2001 Jeux Canada Games. She was the Technical Director for Softball Saskatchewan for five years where she conducted coach and player clinics across the province. Her involvement in softball also included writing a Learn to Play Program for Softball Canada; instructing a coaching clinic in Belize; coaching for 3 -6 month periods in Dornbirn, Austria. Her coaching career culminated with coaching Austria’s National Team in the European Championship in 2005.

Is It Possible to Not Be on Social Media ?

By Nick Kossovan

T

he answer is "Yes," however, the existential question is, "Can you live without social media?"

How social media works: Me: "I prefer mangoes to oranges..."

Random Person (hiding behind an anonymous account): "So basically, what you're saying is that you hate oranges. You also failed to mention pineapples, bananas, and grapefruits. Educate yourself!"

You can never win on social media. Are there times when you wonder if the benefits, whatever they may be to you, of being active on social media outweigh the adverse effects of being exposed to all the toxicity it manifests? What motivates you to spend as much time as you do scrolling, posting, and commenting on social media? FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)? Wanting to appear relevant? Seeking recognition?

Studies have shown how social media negatively impacts our mood and self-esteem and is creating a generation lacking social skills and unable to develop meaningful relationships. Many people, regardless of age, find creating a persona on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter much easier than navigating the real world as themselves. Gen Z has turned being unengaged with their surroundings and community into a Zen-like thing. Today, many people have the limiting belief they are an introvert and use social media as a crutch to avoid face-to-face interactions.

Without a strong sense of self, it is easy to lose yourself while vying for your place in the world, comparing yourself to everyone's beautiful social media life.

Social media works the way an abuser and manipulator works. Asking if one can live happily without social media implies the person knows social media is hurting them but fears a life without it.

It would be overly simplistic for me to advise, "Deactivate it!", "Delete it!", "Stick to emailing the people who

matter to you, asking how they are doing." If you followed this advice, you would be sharing and inquiring without being voyeuristic.

However, we have long passed the point where having a digital presence is optional, especially if you have an ongoing career, a business or are seeking recognition (e.g., artistic endeavour, promoting a cause, running for political office). Conversely, having a digital "presence," which you maintain occasionally, greatly differs from being constantly "active" on social media.

It has become a familiar sight to see people hunched over their phones in social settings, mindlessly scrolling through their feeds, ignoring everyone around them as if what is happening in the digital world is more important than what is happening in the real world.

miss out on networking and employment opportunities. Employers rely on social media platforms to advertise job openings and recruit candidates, LinkedIn being the go-to platform. If you are a business owner, promoting your business without a social media presence would make it much more challenging to connect with potential customers.

Not being active on social media is not an act of rebellion; it is you choosing to prioritize your mental health and time, which you will likely find liberating. The key is to convince yourself that not being active on social media will help you follow your own pace of development, with progress and failures. Focusing on yourself first, instead of looking at what others are "supposedly" doing, will foster a sense of self-awareness, which many people lack.

Your life will not implode if you do not have any social media accounts. However, being completely off the digital grid comes at a price. Imagine 30 years ago not having a telephone. The reason for having one was so people could reach you and vice versa. Nowadays, people prefer to send a message (Facebook messenger, WhatsApp, Twitter direct message, LinkedIn message) rather than call because it is more "efficient."

Nick Kossovan, a self-described connoisseur of human psychology, writes about what's on his mind from Toronto. You can follow Nick on Twitter and Instagram @NKossovan

Think of all the messages you now receive, whether by email, text, or social media, that would have been a telephone call or a letter not long ago.

Pike Lake Fire Department Safety Tips

If you eliminate social media entirely from your life, you offer fewer ways for people to communicate with you. Essentially, you would be severely cutting yourself off from family, friends, professional networks, and the world at large.

Having a social media presence is akin to having a landline telephone back in the day. I recommend having a presence on LinkedIn and Facebook (other platforms are optional) where you connect selectively and have message notifications turned on. Consider the notification ping as your telephone ringing. However, just because you have a social media presence does not mean you have to be active on social media; being inactive offers many benefits.

• You free up considerable amounts of time.

(Are we not all time-stressed?)

• You have more control over your personal information and privacy.

• Your mental well-being improves since you will not be comparing yourself to the posturing (flaunting a sugar-coated lifestyle while drowning in debt) typically displayed on social media, causing feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy.

• You will be more social in real life.

• You are less in your head and more in the present moment.

In terms of your professional life, having a social media presence is a necessary evil; otherwise, you will

Wildlife on the Road Growing up in Saskatchewan being on the lookout for deer and other animals while driving was just part of operating a vehicle. Over the past five years there were 16,457 wildlife collision claims reported to SGI. Encounters with wildlife on roadways are inevitable given the size and geography of our province, but you can still take precautions to help protect yourself.

• Be alert during May and June when animals are drawn to ditches for road salt and escape biting insects. They are also especially active in the late fall and early winter during mating season. Peak times are dawn and dusk.

• Pay attention to wildlife Signs.

• Remain alert and lower your speed.

• Scan ahead. Watch for movement and shining eyes along the roadsides.

• Use your high beams to see further ahead if there is no oncoming traffic.

• If you see a deer, slow down! Chances are there are others close by.

• Experts advise not to swerve. Instinct is to swerve but you can cause more damage if you change direction. This is especially true if there is oncoming traffic.

Stay safe and healthy ! If you have any questions or would like more info contact: Fire Chief Mike Given 306-493-7777 (Delisle & District Fire Department) or Battalion Chief Wayne Pearson 306-230-1544 (Pike Lake hall)

Saskatchewan Crop Report for September 19 - 25, 2023

M per cent.

any producers have wrapped up harvest with 91 per cent of the provincial crop is in the bin, ahead of the five and 10-year averages of 73

The southwest and west-central regions completed harvest this week, with 98 and 97 per cent of crops off, respectively. The northwest is 90 per cent complete, followed by the southeast at 89 per cent and northeast at 88 per cent. The east-central region has made significant progress this past week, with 82 per cent of crops off.

Many crops are entirely harvested provincially with the remaining crops nearing completion. Oats are 93 per cent completed this week, followed by canary seed at 88 per cent. Later maturing crops, or fields seeded later, represent the remaining acres to be harvested, although great progress is being made. Canola is 80 per cent, flax is 63 per cent and soybeans are 64 per cent combined for the year.

With the limited moisture this year, many livestock producers are experiencing moderate water shortages for their animals. Some producers in the southwest and west-central regions are experiencing water supply shortages. There are also concerns about livestock water quality. Producers are welcome to bring livestock water samples to a regional office and work with a specialist to determine how to address water quality concerns.

1-800-667-4442. The public is reminded to take extra caution, time and space when encountering machinery on the roads.

Crop damage this past week is due to grasshoppers and dry conditions, with some reports of wind damaging standing crops. With many producers wrapping up harvest this week, they are now working their fields and applying post-harvest herbicides. Livestock producers continue to haul water and feed for their animals while preparing for winter.

Producers are reminded to take safety precautions in all the work they do. The Farm Stress Line is available to provide support to producers toll free at

A dry week across the province meant good harvest weather for producers. The most rainfall recorded was 15 mm in the Carnduff area. However, this also meant a decrease in topsoil moisture across the province.

Twenty per cent of cropland has adequate moisture, 45 per cent is short and 35 per cent is very short. Sixteen per cent of pastures have adequate moisture, 44 per cent are short and 40 per cent are very short.
