Down the Road

Endless Summer ?

It’s that time of year that I take stock of how my summer has gone. Let’s see...

May 17 - house guest arrive for a week May 22 - attend wedding in Regina June 18 - funeral #1 June 23 - house guests arrive for a week June 25 - funeral #2 - host dinner for 30 July 17 - house guests arrive for a week July 19 - funeral #3 July 26 - funeral #4 Aug 26 - funeral #5 - host dinner for 20

Obviously this isn’t how I, or anyone, would ever plan their summer.

I have complete empathy for those that have to deal with loss, I am happy to have relatives from away stay with us and I am more than happy to be able host dinners to help out as well, but I have now booked a campsite for the month of September and will fish and golf every day that is left of my summer, before I become funeral #6 !

Bubble Gum Politics

I

n the spring of this year, a gentleman by the name of P.J. O'Rourke died at the too early age of 74 may he rest in peace.

Mr. O'Rourke, among many other laudable achievements, was also a journalist and an author (with many books to his credit) as well as being a gifted public speaker.

He was also a cynic of the first order one of his novels was entitled "Don't Vote - It Just Encourages the Bastards".

He was my hero.

When I was in elementary school Grade 6, to be exact - we had a class called Social Studies.

The teacher, in an attempt to make the lesson in civic politics interesting and relevant, had us stage a mock election.

About four or five students were selected as candidates for election to the office of "The Mayor".

The candidates were then to choose a classmate to act as a campaign manager.

The campaign largely consisted of preparing and giving an election speech: what the candidate would do if elected mayor.

The rest of the class (The Citizenry) would then vote on who the winner (The Mayor) would be - just like a real, big person, election.

It was to be an exercise in democracy.

More than 50 years later, that election is still a significant and memorable moment in my life.

The smartest kid in the class at that time (and cuter than two buttons) was Judy K and she was one of those selected to be a candidate.

She delivered an absolutely excellent speech.

It was a speech so excellent that even I, as an opposing candidate, wanted to vote for her.

She promised to shorten the school day and reduce the number of school days.

She declared that she would fire all the mean teachers (including the big, burly, strap-wielding principal).

And she was going to put Coke instead of water in the drinking fountains - who wouldn't vote for that?

(And also, did I say?, she was as cute as two buttons.)

My campaign manager, Wes T, wasn't as school smart as Judy K (nor was he even one-button cute).

He was just a guy more interested in playing baseball than in spelling or geography.

He was also one of my best friends and, as it turned out, he was more than smart enough - he came up with an absolutely brilliant campaign strategy.

In those days, one of the popular candies was Double Bubble bubble gum, which sold for a penny each.

It was a small pink square of gum, which could be split into two pieces to make it easier to chew (which nobody ever did, unless you were maybe a girl) and had an inner wrapping of a colour comic with a joke or a riddle (of the 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' variety).

The comic was always read just as quickly as the gum was chewed and was a big part of the gum's appeal (hey, we were kids!).

Wes The Campaign Manager came up with the idea that in my election speech I would make the promise that anybody who voted for me would get a free Double Bubble bubble gum.

The vote, after all the speeches were given, was unanimous - everybody, and I mean everybody, (even Judy K), voted for me - voted for the free Double Bubble bubble gum, that is.

Judy K may have been the smartest kid in the class but the rest of them were obviously no dummies, either.

Winning that election cost about 30 cents (Mr J, the teacher, strongarmed a piece for himself as well) and Wes and I split the cost.

(To pay off that debt, we had to collect 15 pop bottles and take them to the store to get the 2 cents per bottle deposit back.)

That grade school election has forever stained my political consciousness.

Most of us, probably, like to think that we have grown and matured since 6th grade, but sometimes I wonder about that (I wonder more often than sometimes, truthfully).

I wonder just how much growth in maturity has there really been over all those years.

Has there been a growth in maturity or has there just been an increase in the selling price?

But as cynical as that may sound, it wasn't that cynicism that deterred me from seeking a career in politics.

After all, at that point my future was golden - I was "The Mayor" and Judy K had voted for me (me!) - I was wearing shades my future was so bright.

The thing is, I just wasn't smart enough to be a politician (not then and, turns out, not now either) - I just couldn't figure out a way to convince other people to collect pop bottles and then give the money to me.

Gum, anyone?

It's free - honest!

Social Media’s Hack on Journalism, Filmmaking and More

By Nick Kossovan Smartphones have made us dangerous.

It is estimated there are more than five billion mobile devices in use today. Studies predict that by 2025, 70% of internet users will only use smartphones to access the Internet.

Every day, millions worldwide use their smartphones to take photos, make videos, or write texts documenting their reality and then share them on social media. Until recently, journalism and filmmaking were difficult to break into, let alone make a decent living in, without proper training or connections. Now, with almost everyone having a smartphone and access to social media, anyone can be a pseudo-journalist or pseudo-filmmaker; herein lies the danger. Anyone can have the power to publish content, be it news items, opinions, videos, graphics, music, etc. and create a following. Not only had our information consumption experience changed significantly, but who is creating the content we are consuming has also significantly changed.

There's a saying, "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one." The first thing the Internet devoured was journalism, the acquiring, processing, and publishing of information. When you're holding a smartphone—a hand-held mass communication tool—you're holding a press.

A tweet from Tom Harrington (@cbctom) has as much journalistic weight as a tweet from a 23-year-old Starbucks barista who filmed police violently arresting a homeless man outside their store.

It's often Ukrainian citizens and enterprising individuals, rather than mainstream journalists, who capture what's happening in Ukraine through their photos and videos. Similarly, Turkey's artillery bombardment on Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region being recorded by civilians.

In the digital age, anyone can be a journalist; actually, anyone can claim any title they want. Having a journalism degree or being affiliated with a news organization is no longer necessary. Smartphones enable us to record and broadcast "news happenings" to a public increasingly reliant on social media to find news and information (READ: opinions) that confirms their beliefs.

The same holds true for filmmaking. Smartphone-made films can be uploaded to countless platforms. No film distributor is necessary. No need to attend film school.

Thanks to smartphones empowering its owner with the ability to instantly broadcast worldwide and being able to self-identify as a "journalist," "filmmaker," "writer," "photographer," "graphic artist," "recording artist," or "radio (podcast) personality" to name a few of the professions now available to everyone, is merely a matter of semantics. No one is qualified, and everyone is qualified.

With a smartphone in your pocket, you can become Canada's most-read restaurant critic. Want to be a travel reporter? Travel and blog with your smartphone. Want to be a nature documentary filmmaker? Using your smartphone, film anthills or Japanese beetles mating in your local park and upload it to YouTube. (Fun fact: 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.)

Nobody expects your content to be perfect; it's understood it'll be shaky. What's important is that your content resonates with people. Connecting with people is the key to a successful social media strategy. There is no exact science to determine what will resonate with the general population or what will offend people beyond the obvious, which is why most social media learning is done by simply putting stuff out there and seeing what happens.

Yes, I'm saying social media is a game of "hit and miss."

The value of having a measurable audience to speak to is obvious to anyone with even a passing understanding of social media. (If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?) Therefore, you must offer something different to stand out among celebrities and influencers on social media platforms.

This is why social media posts are becoming more outrageous. Much of the content posted on social media by those seeking recognition as a journalist, filmmaker, podcaster, singer, or whatever, is created to gain attention, aka clickbait, and generate the two most sought-after Internet metrics, clicks and views.

Back in the day, when there were only four or five TV channels, the television station didn't really have to worry about you clicking away; they just made the best shows they could. Then cable came, and the choices multiplied tenfold. Cable, paired with a remote, which meant the viewer didn't have to get up to change channels, forced television stations to offer content that kept you glued to the tube.

Today, globally, there's an infinite number of social media platforms providing every type of content (pictures, videos, news, fiction, information, opinions, movies, podcasts) imaginable, vying for your attention.

As social media multiplies, competition for our attention also multiplies. Thus, content considered "successful" isn't created to deliver unbiased news, beauty, art or even entertainment, but rather to trigger a response. Not surprisingly, the easiest emotion to trigger is anger and outrage. (Most outrage these days is virtue-signalling, but some is sincere.)

Successful online bloggers, vloggers—a person who creates and shares video content online—pseudo-journalists, pseudo-filmmakers, et al. understand the importance of curating an audience. They know a large audience will draw attention to their content who will like and share. Additionally, they consider how their content may comfort the comfortable, afflict the afflicted, or court controversy. As a result, the content they publish is often regarded as newsworthy or exposes injustices.

Since they are not subjected to any editorial interference, they are free to push what they say are "creative boundaries" to succeed as a pseudo "whatever."

Social media's incentive structure isn't designed to amplify accurate content. Instead, it's designed to amplify and spread attention-grabbing content, creating an "attention economy," leading to people creating content that is more likely to grab your attention than be accurate or unbiased.

Media outlets used to decide when and how you would receive the news; the Internet has changed that. Now you don't receive the news on TV at 6:00 PM or 9:00 PM, with the morning or evening newspaper edition, or on the half-hour on a news radio station. Instead, 24/7, social media delivers the news and plenty of passionate differing opinions from conventional news sources, citizens who were on "the scene," and self-identified "journalists." Thanks to the Internet, journalists no longer occupy an elite, authoritative platform from which to broadcast to a captive audience.

While I blame social media for many of our current social ills, social media has one undeniable positive, albeit a double-edged sword. Social media provides platforms for all voices to be heard. Unfortunately, we're increasingly abusing this amazing digital soapbox; such is the human ego's need to be heard, recognized, be right, and feel entitled to self-identify as it wishes the world to see it. Is there a better medium than social media—the Internet—to be whatever "pseudo" we want to project?

30 years ago, would any of the pseudo professions I mentioned have been possible?

Not long ago, to legitimately call yourself a filmmaker, you would have needed a distributor. A novelist would need a publisher. A musician would need to get a record deal. A journalist would need to be affiliated with a news organization. The education and work required to genuinely be part of the professions I just mentioned are no longer necessary. After reading this article, you can pick up your smartphone, take pictures of your coffee table, upload them on Flicker, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or whatever platform you choose, and call yourself a photographer.

With a smartphone and a few choice words in your social media bio(s), you can call yourself anything, from writer to musician to documentary filmmaker to photographer. Being able to self-identify as whatever we want to self-identify as raises the question: Is this pseudo-professional culture being created another harmful consequence of social media?

Canadian Red Cross Friendly Calls

Making a difference in the lives of Saskatchewan residents Regina, SK, August 15, 2022 – Older adults in Saskatchewan have hailed the Canadian Red Cross (CRC)- Friendly Calls program insisting the program has transformed their lives.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted people’s way of life, the Red Cross in Saskatchewan is determined to continue providing support to isolated and/or lonely individuals through the Friendly Calls program.

According to Statistics Canada, social isolation and exclusion are related to serious negative health effects and reduced quality of life for seniors. Friendly Calls is working to change this, by matching volunteers with participants over the phone of those who participate.

“If you are feeling lonely and you are feeling a little bit isolated The Red Cross can help you,” says Luc Mullinder, CRC, Vice President, Saskatchewan.

The CRC Friendly Calls program pairs a trained Red Cross volunteer or staff member with an older adult who is feeling isolated or lonely, who may have limited social or family connections, or who feels they could benefit from more social interaction.

“We can talk about anything. I can let go.

Relax a little bit and talk about something else. You see life in a different perspective when you get a call like I do,” recalled Chantal Bisson, a participant of the CRC Friendly Calls

Program in Saskatchewan. “It’s very beneficial and for a little while you can forget your problems, your situation and listen to the other one.

It’s a two-way Communication and it’s a benefit to both of us.”

Increasingly, individuals with limited social and family connections across Saskatchewan are receiving unwavering support in their time of need, thanks to the Red Cross Friendly Calls Program. Since 2019, the program has grown exponentially. Friendly Calls Volunteers have made over 7600 calls to older adults in over 30 communities across the province. The program is free to join, and the demand is high for volunteers.

“I thought there is something that I can do to reach out to someone just to make their day a little bit better,” adds Gisele Yarbrough, a Friendly Calls Volunteer. “Quite frankly it has turned out to make my day better as well.”

For more information on being a Friendly Calls Volunteer or becoming a participant, please visit www.redcross.ca/skfriendlycalls or call 1-888-335-3345.

Nutrien Delisle Celebrity Sports Dinner 2022 T

he Delisle Arena, transformed into an intimate dining experience by volunteers, provided 400 people an amazing venue to enjoy a delicious meal provided by Vanscoy’s Robin’s Nest Cafe. There were endless silent auction items provided by local sponsors as well as many live auction items from combine rentals to NHL game trip packages to authentic NHL jersey and even some special personal items provided by the celebrities themselves.

Before and after the dinner attendees had time to chat with the celebrities and get some photos and autographs to take home.

Kevin Waugh was once again the emcee for the evening and even assisted Dan Mantyka with the live auctions.

Months of planning went into the event by the committee volunteers (shown below) and many volunteers assisted in setting up the venue. Delisle Chiefs hockey players also volunteered for the event to make sure that everything went smoothly.

After the meal, Delisle’s Sherry Anderson and Jack Norris each received custom awards from the committee recognizing their lifetime of curling and NHL achievements.

Then the highlight of the event became listening to the personal stories and humorous anecdotes told by the three celebrities on the main stage.

Glenn “Chico” Resch spoke of growing up in Moose Jaw playing hockey in the basement then 20 years later when he joined the Islanders for 282 games including the 1979-80 Stanley Cup. He revealed how he got his nickname “Chico” and entertained with a few tunes on his guitar.

Brian Trottier spoke about learning to skate on a creek across from thier home in Val Marie, SK and his 18 years in the NHL including six Stanley Cups, Rookie of the year, Hall of Fame induction in 1997 and being chosen 2nd greatest Islanders franchise player by the fans.

Billy Smith, from Perth, ON shared stories about how he became known as “Battlin’ Billy” with his aggressive style of goal-keeping and winning the Stanley Cup. Smith is named one of the 100 Greatest NHL Players in history.

It was an amazing, once in a lifetime evening and if you missed it, stay tuned, the committee has already started the planning for next year !

Safety Day for grade 3 -5 Students

N

ext week the kids will all go back to school, the halls quiet over the summer will be ringing with excited voices and teachers have been busy preparing their lessons.

Vanscoy & District Agricultural Society along with the Progressive Agriculture Foundation is having a safety day on Sept 20th at the Delisle Curling Rink. This is an educational event for children and we have invited Grades 3, 4, and 5’s from Asquith, Delisle, Perdue, Pike Lake and Vanscoy.

We know that the agriculture industry is an intense, high risk industry made even more stressful by unpredictable factors such as

weather and this year is no different. Our safety day is about educating children to be safe in their environment, on the farm, at school and yes even when they are having fun.

If you are unsure whether your school is involved with this year’s safety day please ask your child’s teacher.

Busing will be provided for the schools and permission slips will be coming home.

If you wish to be involved as a volunteer please contact Linda Stevens at 306-493-2428 or 306-371-0272.

Pike Lake Fire Department Safety Tips

s kids head back to school its important to remember and share with your children some key tips that will help keep them safe and healthy throughout the school year.

TRANSPORTATION SAFETY Walkers…

• When walking to school, walk on the sidewalk if one is available. When on a street with no sidewalk walk facing traffic.

• Before you cross the street, stop and look left, right and left again to see if cars are coming.

• Make eye contact with drivers before crossing and always cross streets at crosswalks or intersections.

• Stay alert and don’t get distracted.

Bike Riders…

• Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, and in a single file.

• Come to a complete stop before crossing the street, walk bikes across the street.

• Stay alert and don’t get distracted.

Bus Riders…

• If possible, go to the bus stop with your child to teach them the proper way to get on and off the bus.

• Teach your children to stand 6 feet (3 giant steps) away from the curb.

• Always obey and follow instructions of your bus driver.

Driving Your Child to School…

• Stay alert and avoid distracted driving, obey school zone speed limits and follow your school’s drop off procedure.

• Make eye contact with children who are crossing the street.

• Never pass a bus loading or unloading children.

• The area 10 feet around a school bus is the most dangerous for children, stop far enough back to allow them to safely enter and exit the bus.

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)

Sask Bio-Energy Company Strengthens Japanese Relationships Tuesday, August 2, 2022 – Saskatchewanbased Prairie Clean Energy (PCE) recently returned from a trade mission to Japan where they met with some of the largest renewable energy developers in the world, including Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Kyuden International, and more. PCE met in person with Yosuke Kiminami, the founder and CEO of Japan’s largest publiclytraded clean energy company, RENOVA Inc. This meeting signalled the latest step in a yearlong relationship-building process between PCE and RENOVA. PCE is a Saskatchewan start-up success story that buys flax straw from prairie producers, pel-

letizes it using its proprietary process, and sells it as fully renewable and sustainable biomass fuel to customers around the world.

PCE welcomed representatives from RENOVA to Regina this past January, which led to the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two companies, and once again hosted a RENOVA delegate during Canada’s Farm Show in June. The two companies spent another three days together during PCE’s recent visit to Tokyo, the first meeting between these companies held in Japan. “The values and culture of RENOVA very much align with ours at PCE,” says Mark Cooper, CEO of Prairie Clean Energy. “We have a strong and mutually beneficial relationship focused on building communities and improving the world.”

RM Review

Throughout their trade mission to Japan, PCE introduced Saskatchewan’s tremendous potential as a clean energy leader to the Japanese business community. PCE’s mission was strongly supported by the Government of Saskatchewan.

“We received incredible support from the Saskatchewan government, especially David Anderson, Managing Director of the Japan Office, and his team,” Cooper adds. “They truly connected us with the right companies and people and set us up for success.”

Prairie Clean Energy is a Saskatchewan-based company that produces a fully sustainable, renewable, abundant, and environmentally responsible pelletized biomass fuel.

RENOVA Inc. is a Japan-based renewable energy developer and power producer that builds, owns, and operates solar PV, biomass, offshore and onshore wind, geothermal and hydropower plants.
