Xmas EP from Brian Baggett By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer For those needing some new seasonal music, checking out a new recording by Fort Qu’Appelle’s Brian Baggett might be in order. The Christmas EP actually had a rather unusual creation process. “I was part of a jazz duo for two years,” explained Baggett. “We only performed four times, including a live web/TV show, and in

Yorkton (March 2020, one week prior to lockdown). “We had recorded an entire album of original music (13 songs, 55-plus minutes). The album was 99 per cent complete when the two of us had a major disagreement, one that still has me scratching my head. Then we split and parted ways. So the album may never be released. “After pouting around for about a week, I shook it off and drew out ideas for my next three future projects. This Christmas EP is the first of those

three.” The effort came as something of a surprise to Baggett himself too. “I had told myself and numerous others that I would never create a Christmas album,” he said, adding it is a case of learning you should “never say never! “I always saw those as total sellouts. Plus, I have my own reservations about the holiday season and monetary waste, etc. “But I really needed to honour my mother somehow, and Christmas

music is about the only music she consistently loves. She’s had a rough year – pandemic -- lost both siblings (non-

COVID related) -- and my family is far from her, she’s in Houston, TX ... my home town. “So, this is a small gift

to her.” You might expect doing a recording of Christmas music would Continued on Page 3

Harvest Meats supports old mill By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Brick Mill Heritage Society recently launched its capital campaign to raise dollars to build an ‘Interpretive Station’ to be attached to the old mill. The Society’s effort was given a substantial boost today with the donation of $100,000 from Harvest Meats. “From our standpoint this is huge,” said campaign chair Terry Tyson. “. . . It’s a game-changer, a real momentum builder.” Kenn Propp with Harvest Meats said he has been involved in efforts to save the mill almost from day one. “I’ve been involved with the committee almost since its inception,” he said, adding his recollection is that the first talk of an effort to save the mill began in 1989, to see “if there was any community support for trying to support the mill . . . “It was important to us to be involved.” Propp said he always saw value is saving the mill as it was “indicative” of the food processing sector in the city which now includes businesses such

He said the existing businesses today have created “quite a little hub of food processing” in the city. Tyson said given the history of the

mill as an agricultural processor the current campaign has “really focused on agribusiness,” and that certainly includes Harvest Meats. Propp noted Harvest Meats traces its own roots in the city back to 1928 when it moved from Rhein, and in the

early years had a grocery store. He stocked shelves in the early days of his life and recalled purchasing flour from the mill “at least twice a week,” which was then “hauled to our store to sell it.” Recently, Propp has had an actual look inside the old mill. “I was really intrigued to see most of the equipment still in place,” he said, adding maybe one day some of it might be brought back into operation for people to see and fully appreciate. When complete, construction will be dependent on raising some $2.2 million, the Interpretive Station will consist of both static and interactive educational and informative displays for all ages, which will greet visitors as they enter the building. It will not only show the development of milling wheat from the late 1800’s when the first York Colony mill was erected, but will also provide a much broader overview of all food production in our region and province. The Station will tell stories not only of the farms that are the primary producers, but will inform and ensure visitors that prairie agri-business excels at producing safe and wholesome products by sustainable means.

Saskatchewan launches new long-term care inspections program The first inspections under Saskatchewan’s new long-term care homes inspections program are about to begin across the province. Ministry of Health inspectors will begin by inspecting about 20 homes, selected to reflect an urban-rural balance, and a range of small, medium and lar-

ger homes. “We are committed to the safety and well-being of residents and staff in our long-term care homes,” Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health Minister Everett Hindley said. “Along with the Saskatchewan Health Authority, we have enhanced our over-

sight of long-term care homes over the years. This inspections program is one more step in our efforts to help ensure that our seniors live safely and comfortably in their communities.” The initial series of inspections will start today and be completed by the end of March

XMAS Continued from Page 2 be easy based on familiarity with the material, but that also becomes a challenge. “Hmm ... not really easier. Maybe more challenging since every human on earth has an expectation of how these songs must be presented,” offered Baggett. “I took each song and arranged them in a way where the music would start to take a trip to the unknown, but return to the known before anyone realizes.” So with catalogues of potential songs to include, Baggett had a task in choosing which to include. “I have played arrangements of the first two tracks - We Three Kings and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - for maybe 10-years. They have evolved into something I find well-meaning and listenable,” said Baggett. “So I was happy to get these down. “Skating, from Guaraldi’s Charlie Brown Christmas soundtrack is one I worked up a year ago on a whim of just challenging myself - that, and the Charlie Brown music is just brilliant. “My generation considers that music is a Christmas standard.

“What Child Is This is a song I’ve toyed with for almost 10-years, but recently came up with an arrangement in an ambient, looping style, which is a music style I’ve been dabbling in lately. “I’m really pleased with the results of What Child. “And last ... Shchedryk (Ukrainian Folk Chant) aka Carol of the Bells almost didn’t happen. I had very vague ideas for it involving looping devices. Thankfully, engineer and partial coproducer Orion Paradis -- SoulSound Studio in Regina -- really made this song work. “I love it!” And while Baggett may have never expected to do a Christmas recording, he likes what he has created. “Very. I normally am a fan of ‘grand works’. i.e.: full albums that last almost an hour or more. These short little albums or EPs people make always made me feel like they were short changing the listener,” he said. “But I now realize that in music, like in conversation, sometimes the less you say, the better. Less is more.” You can find the EP at brianbaggettchapmanstick.bandcamp.com/

2022. After that, all longterm care homes will be regularly inspected on a three-year cycle. Saskatchewan’s longterm care homes have always been required to comply with the regulations and Program Guidelines for Special Care Homes, which out-

line the standards that facilities must meet in order to provide safe and effective care. Building on a number of initiatives that monitor homes’ performance, the inspections will assess their compliance with these guidelines and any

related regulations and policies focusing mainly on the resident care and resident-centred work within the home. Saskatchewan has 151 long-term care homes and 10 other facilities with long-term care beds.

EDITORIAL We need to create new stories According to philosopher-historian Yuval Noah Harari, “Homo sapiens conquered this planet thanks above all to the unique human ability to create and spread fictions. We are the only mammals that can cooperate with numerous strangers because only we can invent fictional stories, spread them around, and convince millions of others to believe in them. As long as everybody believes in the same fictions, we all obey the same laws, and can thereby cooperate effectively.” In his book, Sapiens, Harari explains that 1,000 humans can peacefully occupy a large room if it’s for a common purpose — to attend a lecture, say, or church. But if you put 1,000 non-human animals into a room, chaos would likely ensue. (Of course, human gatherings can also end in chaos.) This is the most convincing theory to date of a distinction between humans and non-human

animals — a distinction we’re so heavily invested in that we’ve told ourselves numerous stories to uphold the concept. Most of these stories have been debunked. In the 1960s, Jane Goodall rocked the scientific world by reporting that David Greybeard, a chimp she was observing, used grass stalks to collect termites from a termite mound. Until then, tool use was thought to be a defining quality of humanity. In subsequent observations, she noticed chimps shaping tools to increase their efficiency. In response, her sponsor Louis Leakey exclaimed, “Now we must redefine tool, redefine Man, or accept chimpanzees as humans.” Instead, we shifted the goalposts, and asserted that while other animals might make and use tools, only humans had a sense of self. This theory was discounted by the “mirror test,” first conducted in 1970, in which Gordon Gallup Jr. anesthetized

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters apes, painted a red spot on their foreheads, and placed a mirror in their cage. When they came to, the apes responded by touching the spot and inspecting their fingers, much as humans would do. While American linguist and social activist Noam Chomsky and his supporters assert that language differentiates humans from other animals, and while humans have never successfully taught other animals to communicate in complete sentences, there’s little question that animals communicate. Honeybees dance out directions to nearby nec-

tar. Vervet monkeys use different alarm calls to alert fellow monkeys to the presence of leopards, eagles and snakes. Researcher W. Tecumseh Fich says animals communicate complicated ideas within their communities, but this “cognitive sophistication” isn’t detectable in their vocal communication systems. The assertion that only humans can think abstractedly has also been debunked, as has the notion that only humans have culture and shared learning. There’s no question that non-human animals are different from

humans in many ways. But although we can’t teach a chimpanzee how to communicate with us in sign language as a human could, nor can we learn how to communicate within non-human animal societies. While we might glean the meaning of some of their signals and cries, many concepts they comprehend are collectively understood in ways we’ll likely never know. As our stories evolve or are replaced as we learn from the world around us, we must find narratives that better equip us to meet the challenges of our times. Our current preferred plot lines potentially hinder our ability to fully come to terms with risks such as those posed by climate change and the steps needed to address them. As dictators have shown throughout history, collective narratives are often successful when they have a bad guy, someone or something that is “other.”

That’s why seeing nature as a “resource” rather than “kin” or something we are a part of has made ecosystems easy to exploit. Ultimately, humans have the ability to shift our narratives, create wider circles of caring and revel in the wonders of non-human animals’ abilities instead of comparing them to ourselves and finding them lacking. It’s not too late to set ourselves up to be the story’s heroes who finally take responsibility for our ailing planet. In the most pressing story facing our planet today, the ending has yet to be written. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Our Silver Linings “A consoling or hopeful prospect” is the Webster’s Dictionary definition for “silver lining”. Somewhere in the middle of the almost two full years of this pandemic a wise nurse told me, “Our silver linings have changed but maybe it’s not all bad.” I’ve always loved the Christmas season. As well as glittering decorations, special foods and friend/family gatherings, I have always adored Christmas programs and concerts. Unfortunately, as a child, I was the kid in the back, stuffed into a sheep or donkey costume which certainly did not represent the exceptional acting skills I was sure I could display if only given a chance but, regardless, I still fell in love with the whole endeavour every year. (If you don’t attend church I highly recommend frequenting the doors of one when a program involving children is being presented. There

is nothing that propels you into the Christmas “spirit” like watching the younger generations bring the Christmas story to life—even if it appears more like “The Goes Wrong Show”.) When our own children lived under our roof, I began writing scripts for the Christmas programs in the various churches we attended. I would start writing in August because, with our busy lifestyle, I needed a lot of time to prepare. To help me into a more “Christmasy” thought process I would listen to seasonal tunes, which my husband did not always appreciate before the leaves on the trees had even begun to yellow. Of course our family would then begin practicing our Christmas program “lines” starting in October. Unlike today, when many parents give their young children the choice as to whether they’ll participate, my kids were given absolutely none. I would give

While listening to and memorizing Christmas carols, our children would beg to set up the Christmas tree the moment Halloween was over but their father was adamant that we wait until the first of December. This argument has lasted for as many years as we’ve been married because I sided with the children on the subject but my husband has always kept steadfast to his rule. Last Christmas, however, looked very different and since we were all on lockdown, not only was there no formal

church Christmas program (which I suspect I missed more than any child ever could) but I set up no tree and there was nary a glass bulb nor twinkling light anywhere inside our house. After all, none of our children were coming home so I was the grinch and my husband noticed. More than a few times I was asked if the tree should be regurgitated from the basement to which I replied that I didn’t need a tree to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. This year my husband asked me early in November if I’d like the tree upstairs. Thinking

he couldn’t mean it I simply shrugged, but he descended to the basement, found every dusty box labelled “Christmas” and plopped them and the tree in front of me. Bins were emptied and now, in 2021, lights have twinkled in our home for weeks. Perhaps our silver linings have changed. I hope I’ve become more thankful for the “little things” I’ve taken for granted. Like … simple memories—like the time our two year old daughter’s only goal in one Christmas play was to lift her dress, purposely showing the entire audience the pink kittens on her new panties—or the time our son absolutely refused to go on stage and, instead of patiently placating him, I ground out, “We’re doing this for JESUS! Now get out here!” before dragging him onto the stage. (Before you think I should teach a class called “Bad parenting 101” you should know

New trespass legislation January 1, 2022 The Trespass to Property Amendment Act, 2019, and The Trespass to Property Consequential Amendments Act, 2019 are coming into force on January 1, 2022. “This government has worked hard to balance the rights of landowners in rural Saskatchewan with those of recreational land users,” Justice Minister and Attorney

General Gordon Wyant said. “I’m pleased to see the legislation come into force and I want to thank everyone who has worked and consulted with us in its development.” This legislation clarifies existing laws and ensures consistency in the rules regarding trespassing. Most notably, it moves the onus of responsibility from rural landowners to

individuals seeking to access their property. Under the new legislation, those wishing to access a rural landowner’s property for recreational purposes will need to gain consent from the owner. Consent can be provided in writing, electronically online, orally or through signage. Continued on Page 6

that he is very comfortable on stage now …) This year we were allowed a Christmas program again and I was blessed to be part of it. As I gazed at other people’s children who I’ve grown to love, acting and singing their parts, I see many “silver linings”— our hopeful prospects for this world—and I wish them, and all of you, a very Merry Christmas!

Growing Together crop project supports Community Foundation A project supported and conducted by local agricultural businesses raised more than $23,000 this year to support the Yorkton and District Community Foundation (YDCF). The money will help cover much of the operational cost of the Foundation, which accepts funds from individuals, companies and organizations, invests the money, and supports charitable organizations in east-central Saskatchewan with the interest generated by the endowment fund. The principal amount in the fund, consisting of donations made to YDCF, remains intact to become a lasting legacy. In early 2021 the volunteer board

of YDCF approached the farming community for help to cover its operational costs to ensure investment earnings could all be dedicated to supporting local charities. The Growing Together crop project was the result. Local agribusinesses provided equipment, labour and inputs to grow a canola crop on 40 acres of land loaned to the Community Foundation by Ducks Unlimited. The yield of 24.7 clean metric tonnes of canola generated $23,069. The project was co-ordinated by Matt Zerbin of Canada West Harvest Centre of Yorkton. The following businesses supported the project:

Richardson Pioneer (fertilizer); Northeastern Seed Co. Ltd. (Pioneer hybrid seed); Cargill (Roundup); Cross Farms (seeding); Ducks Unlimited Canada (land); Reesink Canada (Agrifac sprayer); Everett Peters, Sales Consultant with Canada West Harvest Centre (spraying); Novak Farms (grain trucking); Three Way Industries (trucking of equipment); Canada West Harvest Centre (Claas combine); Richardson Pioneer (grain buyer). In a year when lack of moisture put stress on the agricultural sector, local companies and farmers produced a generous yield and much-needed operational funding for the Community Foundation.

Winter weight season arrives for entire province Beginning Monday, December 20, winter weights will be permitted on all applicable highways around the province. This includes the central and southern regions of the province. The northern region was the first area of the province for winter weights to go into effect, earlier this month on Monday, December 13. Since winter weights are completely weather dependent, they can start in early November. Milder weather this fall has resulted in the postponement of winter weight season this year. Typically, these temporary weights are removed on March 15 to protect the provincial highway system. Winter weights are an ongoing ministry initiative that maximizes the amount of goods that can be shipped by truck in Saskatchewan. As an exportbased economy, trucking is one of the key methods to get Saskatchewan goods to market to keep the prov-

incial economy competitive. Winter weights allow truckers to carry up to 20 per cent more payload on secondary highways. Commercial truckers and shippers are encouraged to check the status regularly. Find the latest road restriction orders and related information: • www.saskatchewan.ca • Calling 5-1-1 in Saskatchewan • Twitter @SkGovHwyHotline Technical and regulatory information is also available through the Ministry of Highways’ Trucking Inquiry Line: • 1-866-933-5290 • Truckers outside of Saskatchewan call: 306-9335290 The line operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except statutory holidays.

NEW TRESPASS LEGISLATION Continued from Page 4 The legislation responds to concerns expressed by rural landowners about individuals

who trespass on their property while still giving Saskatchewan people the opportunity to take advantage of our beauti-

ful rural landscapes for outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and hiking. Most people in Saskatchewan already seek permission to access rural property for recreational purposes. These changes are intended to formally support that best practice. The legislation provides legal protection to landowners and occupiers against property

damage and the risk of agricultural diseases and limits any liability that may arise from a trespasser’s presence on their property. Police and provincial enforcement officers will continue to be responsible for laying charges related to trespassing. Anyone who believes someone is trespassing on their property is urged to contact their local police service.

Christmas Message from Mayor Hippsley 2021 It’s been quite an interesting year for me being in the Mayors chair as I look back at 2021. In spite of our COVID world, City Council managed to hold firm and true on their promise of a zero increase to the 2021 budget. I am very pleased to say we still have continued to accomplish many new projects in our fine city. Our City Operations Center was completed in late September and came in on budget. We will be offering tours in 2022 after we have completed all the interior furnishing details. The building facilities are remarkable & will accommodate the city’s growth for the next 50 years. The city has a very welcoming feeling as you arrive from Hwy #9 & Broadway Street. The Gateway/Gabion Rock Wall(s) create a fresh statement of ‘Promise and Vision’ of progress. With the added feature of lighting & future landscaping it’s truly a beautiful feature for our growing city. On an average day more than 2000 vehicles pass thru this location. Grant funding instigated this opportunity & has proven to be very successful. On the same topic of funding,

the pathways on Logan Green were paved and lit with solar lights this year. The pathway continues to grow in user’s year round as it now allows many more opportunities for people with walking challenges. The vegetation creates a world that makes one forget they are even in a city. Darlington Street from Dracup Avenue to Mayhew Avenue reconstruction project was fully completed with many issues resolved and will continue to benefit users and Yorkton as it grows east. This has proven to be one of the busiest streets in Yorkton and were tax dollars well spent. For 2022, council is very close to making a comprehensive decision on its second ice surface, whether it be major upgrade work on the Kinsmen or adding on to the Gallagher Centre. Council is pleased to have made the decision to build a new clubhouse at our beautiful Deer Park Golf course. When completed it will be a year round facility that will also accommodate cross-country skiers, tobogganers, special functions, etc. We are very fortunate to have a

wealth of users who continue to offer their time and talent to develop a facility to become a ‘Go To’ place for tourism to attract visitors. Deer Park Golf Course was recently rated #4 in Canada for its value in a Gold Digest magazine. The spin-off for tourism is incredible. The completion date is speculated to fully operational for the 2023 season. We continue to attract agri-businesses as we see Richardson’s double its facility and become the largest canola crushing plant in Canada. Grain Millers is in the final stages of expansion in the RM of Orkney. Our council continues to collaborate with our good neighbours, the R.M.s of Orkney and Wallace and the York Lake Regional council. We are grateful for our relationships as we grow together. This year marked a milestone turning point in Canadian history with our Indigenous communities on the very first National Day of Truth & Reconciliation Sept. 30. City Council joined hundreds to march down Broadway Street to show their support. City Council and all city employees have taken

Seasons Greetings May the joy of the season and the good tidings of the New Year bring peace, happiness and p prosperity p y to y your home.

the lead on education and support of a positive change with our indigenous friends. We have learned to adapt and overcome the hurdles of our COVID reality and are slowly returning to a world we once knew. The resiliency and tenacity our pioneer fore fathers ingrained in us has proven to be one of our best qualities.

I wish to personally thank you all for the privilege of serving you as your new Mayor. I am so very proud to represent you and have never been so ready in my life for this new role. I continue to receive support from many people in all walks of life. “From all of city council and city employees and all of our fam-

ilies, I want to wish you and yours, a very merry Christmas and the very best wishes for peace, love, great health, many friends and happiness in 2022!” Our great city will continue to prosper and grow with your input and support. -Mitch B. Hippsley “ where good things continue to happen”

MLA Ottenbreit message 2021 “As the Fall Sitting of the Legislature has concluded, we look toward the Christmas season celebrated with family and friends. Our government reminds children, teens and adults alike that it’s important from time to time to step away from their screens and find a healthy lifestyle balance.

The past twenty months have been stressful for everyone. But Saskatchewan’s greatest strength is its people, and now, more than ever, it’s important to take the time to value and protect relationships and listen to one another. Our brightest days are ahead of us, and we can have confidence

that the 2020s will be Saskatchewan’s decade. As we move into the New Year, our government’s commitment to build a healthier Saskatchewan means taking action to address the surgical backlog COVID-19 caused. We will also have short-term and longerterm targets to expand intensive care capacity. Our government is also addressing the need

for affordable child care to support working families and this past session, we took significant actions to address the crime rates in rural communities. As we plan for the future, we look to make Saskatchewan stronger, safer, healthier, better educated, and more independent. I would be remiss if I did not give thanks and mention the many

women and men who serve our province and our community. Many people, particularly health care workers, essential service workers, those in the Armed Forces, RCMP and protective services will be away from family and friends during this holiday season. It is imperative that each of us reach out beyond our familiar relationships to think of those who are on their own. This is the time of year when we remember that God sent His only Son to

serve, not to be served. At the centre of God’s message is love and how we need to love one another. He restores love and service to our lives in the person of Jesus Christ. Given the current state of the world, now it is more than ever to reflect on that message and follow it. It is my prayer this Christmas season that His example and teaching will continue to bring people together to give the best of themselves in the service of others.”

Season’s Greetings Wishes warm and bright to you and your loved ones at this joyous time of year. We appreciate your support.

Gather ’Round, It’s Christmas! It wouldn’t be Christmas without good friends like you! Thanks for making our year so merry with your visits. We hope your holiday is filled with more than enough joy to go around. Merry Christmas, and best wishes for a prosperous and happy New Year!

changes, changes, and more changes You wake up one morning. roll out of bed, look in the mirror, and notice that you look different. You’re not sure what it is exactly, but it’s maybe something about the shape of your face or the size of your hands. And more than that, you feel different. You seem to get upset easily, and sometimes cry for no reason, and then in the next minute you’re as happy as a clam. What’s going on? You used to just take things as they came, not getting too riled up about anything. But now it feels like you’re on an emotional roller coaster half the time. There’s a part of you that keeps criticizing you, judging your every move— there’s this voice inside you that keeps saying, You’re not quite good enough or Who do you think you are, anyway? You just don’t have what it takes! And these changes seem to have happened overnight.

Lieutenant Govenor Russ Mirasty’s 2021 Christmas Message Hello! Tansi. As we celebrate this special season, I am very pleased to extend greetings on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada. Although we have experienced some difficult challenges this year, we have much for which to be grateful. In particular, I want to thank everyone serving

in the Canadian Armed Forces, police and fire services, and our first responders. I also want to thank health care professionals, educators and frontline workers for going above and beyond the call of duty throughout the pandemic. I am grateful to those serving in public office for providing leadership,

especially during these uncertain times. In Saskatchewan, we are fortunate to be surrounded by generous and capable volunteers. I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who is giving their time and energy to improve their community. One of the difficult challenges we have faced this year has been the discoveries of grave-

sites at former Indian Residential Schools. These discoveries have been shocking for many people, and traumatic for many Survivors. As we move forward on the path of Reconciliation, we need to continue to learn about our history, and to build trust through respect. I am grateful to the many individuals and communities who are working to cre-

Cathay Wagantall Christmas message 2021 As we enter the Christmas season many of those who live in our riding of Yorkton – Melville celebrate their Christian faith, which is grounded in the birth of Jesus Christ. The Christian faith recognizes an almighty, loving, and just God who created everything, including humanity. It recognizes our fallen natures; our inability to live free from “SIN” – a word from archery that means “missing the mark”. We all fall short in our thoughts, words and actions to stand before a Holy God. It is Christ’s coming to earth, living a sinless life, and then paying the price for our sin on the cross that is celebrated. Why? Because He gave us the ultimate gift of unconditional love and forgiveness. And what are we to do with that gift? Well – first receive it for ourselves. Secondly – re-gift that love and forgiveness to those who intentionally or unknowingly wound us. These past months of Covid-19 challenges have been overwhelming and life altering for everyone, in one way or another. For many, physical and mental wellness are wearing thin from the stresses placed on relationships, families, livelihoods. For others the difficulties of trying to determine what is best, what is true, what is fair, is confused by competing views and approaches

from all over the world and right here at home. And yet here we are celebrating Christmas! Whatever your reasons for celebrating; whomever you hold more dearly now because these trying times do put the important things in life in clearer perspective... I wish you His deep peace that passes understanding and wonderful moments of laughter with family and friends.

For all the beautiful, precious, children who are our greatest joy and blessing I encourage you to share the Christmas Story and fun activities with them at www.whychristmas.com/story. the_christmas_story as a way to bring joy and light to the meaning of Christmas.

Message from Leader of the Opposition Ryan Meili The people living in darkness, have seen a great light. Whether your tradition is turkey or tortiere, eggnog or Christmas pudding, or all of the above, there’s something incredibly special about gathering with family and friends around the

table this time of year to share a meal, to relive old memories and make new ones. This year too many in Saskatchewan will be setting one less place at that table, missing someone who’s no longer with us, isn’t healthy enough to join or is working over-

time again. For too many families celebrating will be a little harder this year. Christmas is a time of joy, a time of hope. It’s worth remembering when that joy seems just a little too far out of reach that the child we celebrate didn’t come

into a perfect world, he came into a broken world. A world in need of healing. He came with a message of love and care for each other and with everything we’ve been through, now more than ever, it’s important to remember that message. Remember the true meaning of this time of year: joy, hope and love. And we’ve seen incredible examples of that spirit in our province. Healthcare workers who’ve risen to a challenge they could never have imagined. Teachers working so hard to give our kids the support they need to learn and grow. Local businesses who continue to give back generously to community even though there’s less coming into the till. The farmers, the ranchers who despite a drought continue to put food on our tables and on tables around the world. Seniors, the young

people, the ordinary working folks who shared their story of struggle, so others wouldn’t feel alone in theirs. Every person in this province. Everyone who continues to pull together in our time of need. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are what makes this province great. This last year has been no easy feat but brighter days are ahead and it truly is a season of miracles. We witnessed a miracle. Going from a brand new dangerous disease to multiple effective vaccines within a year is a feat of science, a feat of human ingenuity unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Thanks to the widespread availability today of those vaccines, and the willingness of so many of you to get that protection for yourselves and those around you. I’m excited because this year our

family as well as yours can safely spend some quality time together and celebrate those holiday traditions we all cherish. I know my boys Abe and Gus, they can’t wait to head down to Moose Jaw to spend some time with their uncles and their grandparents. Whoever those special people are who you share the most important moments with, I wish each of you new memories of joy, hope and love this holiday season. We still have challenges ahead but let’s embrace the spirit of the season and remember what makes this province so special. That’s the people who call it home. Let’s be thankful for each other, let’s celebrate what we have and let’s have some fun along the way. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, Saskatchewan and here’s to a happy new year.

Filled With Our Gratitude We’re hoping your holiday season is an equal mix of harmony and joy. For your goodwill and trust, please accept a generous measure of our sincere gratitude.

A Blessed Christmas.

A Season of Goodwill & Beauty. May His love surround you at Christmas time and always, making your spirit bright and your heart content.

Premier Scott Moe’s Christmas Message Hello everyone Well Christmas is almost here. And I want to wish everyone in Saskatchewan all the best, on behalf of my colleagues in government, working for you here in your legislature. This is such a busy time of year. There’s so much to do. There are so many people to visit. In the bustle of the holiday season, we can sometimes lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas. A few years ago, my friend Lyle Stewart put Christmas into perspective in an eloquent speech in the legislative assembly. Lyle said, and I quote: “In such a grand building as this, dressed in our suits and ties, it’s good to have a reminder each year that Jesus was born

Dream

in a stable on the back side of an inn.” “He wasn’t impressed with pomp or position, but chose to be born of a humble young lady. Today, Christmas may have filled up with busyness, distractions and bobbles, but when you pull off the wrapper, Jesus is still the reason for the season.” Folks, 2021 has been another challenging year for Saskatchewan. Another year where your resilience . . . perse-

verance . . . and compassion . . . has seen us through. It’s been humbling and inspiring to witness so many selfless acts of courage, generosity and love. Here’s just one example. In September, a fire destroyed the home of Delisle area farmer Tyson McKenzie. Tyson lost everything. Within hours there was an outpouring of support from the community.

Best wishes from the staff at

Some people offered generous gifts of cash . . . A neighbour hauled Tyson’s cattle free of charge . . . Another neighbour dropped by with a $1,000 gift certificate for a clothing store. An online silent auction was organized. 130 items went up for sale . . . everything from homemade pickles to

a handstitched quilt to chainsaws . . . $36,000 was raised to help pay for the construction of a new house. Karla Poletz, who helped with the auction, said that’s just what you do in a small town. In times of trouble, you are there for your neighbours. It’s the Saskatchewan way.

And it is what Jesus counselled. As the Christmas hymn says so well, “Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace.” During this special season, that is the prayer from myself and my wife Krista to you and your family. Merry Christmas everyone.

May the spirit of the season bring you joy, peace and prosperity.

WDM funding will trickle down to Yorkton in time By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Government of Saskatchewan is providing additional funding to the Western Development Museum (WDM) to expand Wi-Fi connectivity, upgrade IT equipment and improve the visitor experience. “The government is pleased to provide additional funding to the Western Development Museum,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said in a recent release. “This investment will allow the museum to acquire the technology, equipment and internet bandwidth necessary to improve services and interact with communities throughout Saskatchewan.” The WDM will receive an additional $60,000 for the 2021-22 fiscal year for the following upgrades: improvements to Wi-Fi access points; enhancements to live streaming equipment and interactive video conferencing ability; and purchasing interactive white boards, portable stands, and other associated equipment upgrades. “This funding will go a long way to address a significant technological gap at the WDM Moose Jaw and WDM Saskatoon,” Western Development Museum CEO Joan Kanigan said.

“The improvements to our Wi-Fi connectivity and ability to live stream tours and programs will benefit visitors, students and educators across the province. We are very grateful for the support we receive from the Government of Saskatchewan through the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport.” Kanigan told Yorkton This Week while the recent announcement pertains to upgrades at Saskatoon and Moose Jaw it is also laying the foundation for upgrades at the WDM’s other locations including Yorkton. The current work will help to develop “best practices” that will be implemented at the other location “a little bit

further down the road.” Kanigan said that work is likely a year, or more away though. The WDM continues to deliver online programs and exhibits. Improvements to connectivity, technology and other associated equipment in Saskatoon and Moose Jaw will be used to improve the way the Western Development Museum plans exhibitions and programming. In terms of online programming, that area may come more quickly to sites such as Yorkton. “One of the things we really want to be able to do ... at all four of our locations. . . is to increase our ability to do livestreaming,” said Kanigan.

That process will include installing equipment at each site to facilitate livestreaming program in order to allow interaction between those watching online and the presenter on location. Kanigan said they see that as an area of growth allowing a broader audience to take in presentations. She said as they moved to online programming through the pandemic they have noted an audience that because of distance would not otherwise have easy access to a WDM or its programming. The ability to have more interactive livestreaming could be in place in Yorkton sometime in 2022, said Kanigan.
