Mid-August just doesn鈥檛 seem feasible. In a few short weeks school is back in session, harvest will be underway and we will be talking about the summer of 2015 in past tense.
As I am away at deadline time with our own daughter who is competing with her junior ladies鈥� team at Western Canadian championships. You鈥檒l have to wait for next week鈥檚 column to get the latest updates on how the two Unity teams did that propelled their season past the provincial level when they qualified for a berth at the U16 and U21 Western Canadian fastpitch championships. Several players are in tryouts for winter training teams, 2017 Canada Summer Games and fall ball zone provincial championships.
The end of swimming season is very near. Take advantage of the last week and days of the Unity Credit Union Acquatic Centre. I hear 鈥渇loat day鈥� is coming up and that is a popular event. Take a minute to thank those lifeguards who looked out for our kids all summer as well as teaching them what they need to know for water safety and swimming skills.
Two big events coming up at the Unity golf course, in addition to their weekly golf nights, are the annual 鈥渇un day of golf鈥� and the annual Candace Heitt Memorial Run.
And folks, remember our seniors in our community. They may find the long, lazy days of summer lonely and lacking some of the usual. Stop by the home of a friend, neighbour or family member who could use a little visit, or offer to help with some small tasks around their yard. Maybe offer to take them for a little drive or for an ice cream cone. In our busy lives, we can all take for granted those that don鈥檛 have the opportunity or privilege of getting around easily, or helpful friends or family nearby and sometimes days can get a little lonely.
Enjoy my shorter version of our happenings in this column as soon enough, after a summer hiatus where life tends to slow down for many, we will be once again kicking things into high gear as fall always brings an abundance of activities and events that I am happy to report on.
Coffee row folks 鈥� I haven鈥檛 seen these folks for a while between their summer vacations and ours, we haven鈥檛 had a chance to catch up on what is the latest on their topic tables, but I promise next column we鈥檒l have everything that keeps these 鈥渞owers鈥� reviewing the latest in our community.
So you keep busy in Unity with activities and wisdom from our friends on coffee row. Until next time 鈥�
