JORDAN VASSEL PREPARES TO THROW
Special Olympics for the Mentally Challenged… In 1952 I was requested to sit on the Provincial Board (Volunteer) of the Coordinating Council for Rehabilitation which was under the jurisdiction of Saskatchewan Department of Health. I served on the board for many years and was present when the time came to split different groups into forming their own agencies. The late John Dolan and I were asked to serve on the Board of Saskatchewan Association for the Mentally Retarded, the object being education, change of lifestyle, self respect, physical improvement, and to create a more advanced and improved environment throughout Saskatchewan. During the mid-fifties and early sixties a strong movement and feeling were being put into action under the direction, funding, advice and request of the Rose Kennedy Foundation (Mother of J.F. Kennedy). The program had strong objectives, and philosophies of a strong body and strong mind, to be expanded throughout the world, as the Special Olympics. As the program caught on, I was given the opportunity to be its first Director of Programs, in Track and Field (Swimming and Bowling). This was held at the University of Saskatchewan Pool and Hunter’s Bowling Alley. To bring it all together for competitive purposes, area or zone representation was instituted (North and South). Winners from local meets then went to the nationals, which were held throughout North America annually. The local meet was the first one held in Saskatchewan. Douglas Field in Regina was used for final meets on the provincial level. At the same time that competitive Track and Field was being developed, we were striving to establish work places and a school, knowing and believing the handicapped could function in society. It was around 14 years ago that the Track and Field competition was integrated with the Knights of Columbus Saskatchewan Indoor Games. Few problems were encountered in doing so. What stands out in my mind was the fear of the first encounter, the joy and satisfaction of doing something worthwhile, and carrying on to this day. I must state I was proud of the fact all of my 5 children worked with me, Don, Joanie, Doug, Leanne and Glenn. I am satisfied this was a real human program. |
