Theory of a Deadman celebrates 15 years By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer The anniversary of a band is a time to look back on your career and celebrate everything you have accomplished. Theory of a Deadman is celebrating its 15th anniversary with an acoustic tour of western Canada, including a Yorkton stop at the Painted Hand Casino on January 29. Joey Dandeneau says that it’s something the band has never done before, born out of a desire to give something different to the fans that have been with the band from the begin-
ning. Western Canada was where the band started out and while they tour around the world it was a desire to do something different for the people who have stuck with the group from the beginning. “Our fans have never seen us in that light before, never really heard our songs performed in that type of atmosphere. It’s not going to be a big, loud rock show with a big light show, it’s going to be a lot more toned down. It will be something totally different for our fans and for us.” While a departure from the band’s usual
sound, Dandeneau says that having an acoustic tour shows the craft that is underneath the songs themselves. “A good song can always be played on an acoustic guitar, and that’s sometimes how you can tell if it’s a good song, if you can play it on an acoustic guitar with just somebody singing the song... We’re going to deconstruct all the production on our songs, and just play the song for what it is.” The band has always been a lyric and melody-driven band, and Dandenau says that the acoustic shows really demonstrate the per-
sonality behind the music. That personality is also one that has tried very hard to be a fun band, one that doesn’t take itself too seriously, as is evident from the earliest recordings to the most recent single. “We’ve tried very hard to show our ability to be goofy and not take it be too serious... There are a lot of bands where there are no smiles, it’s hard rock and it’s all serious, and we’re like man, that’s not us... We were goofy all the time, so why would we hide that?” For the band, Dandeneau says it’s been a trip back to the archives, as they’ve been going back through the early albums and rediscovering the songs they started their career with. While not a founding member, Dandeneau was a fan of the band

before he joined, and watching his bandmates go through the material has been a way to connect more closely to the group’s history. “We don’t really play a lot of our first and second records of material anymore, so it would be kind of neat to go back and bring back some of those old songs that did well for us... Bring those back, but bring them back in a way where people can go ‘I remember this song from when we were doing this,’ or ‘this is where I was...’ A broken down version of it with acoustic guitar seems like a cool new way to hear old songs you haven’t heard in a while.” The anniversary tour is also going to smaller towns, which Dandeneau says was a very deliberate choice,
because since they do not always have a time to tour in Canada they want to go places where it’s going to mean something to the audience. “I think the smaller towns are where it’s at, personally. Anything that comes to town they get really excited about, and it brings a different level of excitement, and a different vibe and atmosphere to the show... I know I’m from a small town, and I’ll tell you what, when something came to my small town I appreciated it a lot. Whoever I went to go see seemed to do their job at a higher level, and to me it’s more fun to be in a situation like that.” After a tour that remembers the past, the band will again look at the future, the plan will be to return to the studio and record the next album.

Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus In 1897, an 8-year-old girl from the Upper West Side of New York City, Virginia O’Hanlon, wrote a letter to the editor of The Sun, asking if Santa Claus was real. The response, an editorial by veteran newsman Francis Pharcellus Church, published in the September 21, 1897 edition of The Sun has become history’s most reprinted newspaper editorial, appearing in part or whole in dozens of languages in books, movies, editorial pages, on posters and stamps and, this year, in the News Review for the enjoyment of our readers complete with the grammarical style of the day. Merry Christmas. We take pleasure in answering on once and prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of THE SUN: “DEAR EDITOR: I am 8 years old. “Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. “Papa says, ‘If you see it in THE SUN it’s so.’ “Please tell me the truth; is there a Santa Claus? “VIRGINIA O’HANLON. 115 WEST NINETY-FIFTH STREET.” VIRGINIA, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus. It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You may tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, VIRGINIA, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
The problem of selling marijuana One of the questions that has arisen with the concept of marijuana legalization is where we can actually sell it. The problem is that you want a location where it would be relatively difficult for teenagers to get it. Some people might argue that it’s impossible to avoid kids getting their hands on it, and that’s honestly not wrong, but you still need to find a way to distribute the product in a relatively restricted way. First off, gas stations and convenience stores are out. Tobacco might be sold through that system – though some might argue that it shouldn’t, and the only reason it continues to be sold through those outlets is a combination of inertia and heavy lobbying – but there is no sense adding something to that system. Advocates might argue that it’s safe until they’re blue in the face, but restrictions on teenage access to any drug is an important concern and something that should be taken into account. If we’re not comfortable selling beer there – and in most provinces, including Saskatchewan, we are not – we shouldn’t be comfortable with marijuana sales either. One might argue that we should be comfortable selling beer there, of course, but right now, in Canada, it’s not the right solution. One solution has been proposed by Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne, add it to liquor stores in the provinces. Whether public or private, give alcohol sellers the option to add marijuana to the menu. The infrastructure already exists, they’re already stores which teenagers are unwelcome, they have policies in place for proper IDs and carding. We are definitely comfortable selling beer at those stores, and that’s another substance we don’t really want for anyone in their teenage years. It’s an elegant solution to the problem of distribution. The other alternative is an entirely separate distribution channel for marijuana overall. You could, in theory, have stand-alone stores that deal strictly in the product, whether publicly run or private, which would be able to sell the product to people. It would not be that far from dispensary systems that already exist elsewhere, and sellers could be regulated with a license system. The people in charge wouldn’t sell to kids anyway – don’t want to risk losing that license, after all – and it would be a standalone shop. There are already places which serve the same purpose for the sake of the current medical scheme, and we do not want to drive them out of business. The trouble with that is how you deal with communities who want to find excuses to run such businesses out of town. Even if the substance itself is legal, some towns will want to find ways to get around actually having it available. We witnessed
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger this when Saskatoon, quaking in fear of the destructive potential of a naked torso, mandated all strip clubs be located in industrial areas, as though bare breasts are less threatening when placed in the general vicinity of manufacturing. Not to equate marijuana with strippers, but it is actually something that will need to be considered if it will require stand-alone businesses – there will be communities with a somewhat more conservative point of view that will go through a great deal of effort to make a newly legal substance much less convenient for people to get their hands on. Doing it through liquor store locations skirts this problem. Liquor stores are established businesses, in some provinces they are publicly owned. It would be difficult and politically dangerous to zone them into oblivion. As a result, if you want a distribution network, you’ve got it right there. Why do we want an easy distribution network? To be blunt, taxes. There is no way that this is getting legalized without some sort of tax on it, and even if you do not smoke – and I do not, as I get immediately nauseous when I smell it – you will get the benefits of marijuana sales somewhere. Since this country has a major infrastructure deficit, we have the chance to pay for it with whatever taxes come in. It’s not something that will need much advertising, there’s a vocal and enthusiastic fan base that is more than willing to put down a lot of money to keep buying it, and we should embrace their enthusiasm and use it to build a road or two. That means ensuring they have a place to buy their marijuana. It’s going to be a long time before the drug is actually legal, and this is going to be one of the issues that is studied and re-studied repeatedly as the changes to the law are put together. There is a good reason for that, we will be stuck with whatever sales scheme we set up, just as the way sales of any other drug have been more or less consistent for decades. Personally, I see no problem with the liquor store plan. Both are substances that are only for adults, and the store network is in place already, it’s a simple solution.

The state of oceans the world’s No. 1 environmental challenge
Is climate change really the most urgent environmental threat facing our planet? At the COP21 (Conference of Parties) that concluded last week in Paris, leaders from around the world called for “urgent action” on climate change. But according to the most recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Mother Earth warmed by just six one-hundreds of a per cent between 1998 and 2013, only one-third of the amount predicted by IPCC’s computer models. That’s the lowest warming rate in half a century, even as atmospheric CO2 concentrations increased by the highest rate ever. This data makes it hard to accept Prince Charles’s dramatic assertion that we have just 20 months remaining to take action. Underlying all this frenetic rhetoric lies the
assumption that climate change is wholly manmade, ignoring the fact that the planet has been warming ever since it was covered by kilometres of ice. But there is a formidable environmental peril where urgent action is critical. And there’s absolutely no doubt that the growing damage is man-made. The world’s oceans are being devastated. From garbage dumping to shipping pollution to agricultural runoff to overfishing, the world’s most important natural resource is under imminent danger of passing the point of no-return. Our oceans have become the world’s biggest dump, and plastic is the most destructive garbage of all. Every year, more than 10 million tonnes of plastic are discarded into the oceans. The impact on marine life and seabirds is appalling. An adult grey whale that washed
ashore near Seattle was found to have three stomach chambers filled with plastic bags, surgical gloves, duct tape and even a golf ball. Sea turtles die after consuming translucent plastics they mistake for jelly fish. Sea mammals including whales and dolphins asphyxiate after being entangled in plastic fishnets. Starving Pacific albatross are found with stomachs full of plastic. Even arctic fulmars and thick-billed murres, inhabitants of one of the world’s most remote places, have been found with stomachs stuffed with bits of plastic. Recently, scientists have made an even more alarming discovery. A 2014 survey estimated there were over five trillion pieces of plastic less than half a centimetre in diameter floating in the oceans. Despite that astounding number, it was still far less than the amount
of plastic dumped into the ocean. The rest had broken into microscopic bits, turning the oceans into a kind of “plastic soup.” So the most insidiously harmful part of plastic pollution may be what can’t be seen. Plastic is being found in filter feeders such as mussels and oysters harvested commercially. Researchers are scrambling to determine the impact on planktondependent feeders that form the very foundation of the ocean’s food chain. The man-made assaults on our endangered oceans don’t stop there. Bulk tankers often dump their chemical-contaminated ballast. Agricultural fertilizer runoff chokes fish-spawning streams before flowing to the ocean, where it creates hundreds of oxygenstarved dead-zones that asphyxiate all sea life. Billions of people depend on the oceans
for protein, and that resource is being harvested at unsustainable rates. The problem is particularly acute on the high seas. Twothirds of the fish stocks beyond nationally regulated 200-mile limits are overexploited. And that is made even worse by the surreptitious dumping of millions of tonnes of dead fish back into the ocean as unwanted bycatch. Stocks of top-offood-chain fish, including tuna, swordfish and marlin, have fallen by as much as 90 per cent since the 1950s. And it’s not just the amount of fish caught, but the methods. Fishnets up to 30 kilometres long often kill whales, dolphins and other marine mammals while bottom draggers destroy seabed habitat. There is a long list of what can and should be done. The 1994 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea was supposed to protect the high
seas fishery, but enforcement has been dismal. Agricultural runoff and tanker dumping must be arrested. And while putting a global price on carbon is fraught with controversy and delay, global implementation of a simple deposit/ return system would see plastic turned into recycling depots rather than being dumped into the sea. COP21 focused on slowing global temperature growth between now and the year 2100, but our oceans could be lifeless long before that. It’s time for an international conference with an urgent action mandate to save our oceans. Gwyn Morgan is a retired Canadian business leader who has been a director of five global corporations.

Your letter of the Week CTF Slams Trudeau Government’s Abandonment of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) today condemned the Trudeau government’s decision to cease enforcement of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). “This government was elected on a promise to improve transparency and accountability, and this decision does exactly the opposite,” said CTF Federal Director Aaron Wudrick. “A law without consequence for non-compliance is a toothless law. As such, soon many First Nations people across
the country will again be in the dark as to how their elected leaders spend public dollars.” Wudrick noted that as of today most bands were complying with the law and that only eight out of 581 First Nations had failed to file FNFTA documentation for 2013-14 – a compliance rate of 98.6 per cent. For 2014-15, 38 out of 581 First Nations have not yet complied, for a compliance rate of 93.5 per cent. “The FNFTA is a critical tool for
band members to hold their First Nations politicians to account, in exactly the same way similar laws do for federal, provincial and municipal politicians across Canada,” said Wudrick. “Suspending enforcement of this law is wrong, and completely undermines the very principles this government claims to be advancing.” Wudrick noted that the importance of the FNFTA is illustrated by cases such as that of Chief Ron Giesbrecht of the Kwikwetlem First Nation, who
pocketed $800,000 of band money as part of a band land deal. Kwikwetlem band councillor Marvin Joe even stated “I want the public to know that the membership knew nothing about this. And it if wasn’t for this new transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.” “Without the FNFTA being enforced Mr. Joe along with thousands of other band members will soon be in the dark again,” concluded Wudrick.

The Mysterious Star of Bethlehem The following originally appeared in the News Review in 2009, and with a few updates, I thought it might be appropriate for the season again: “... and, lo, the star which they saw in the East went before them, until it came and stood over where the young child was” (Matthew 2:9). Thus, according to Christian gospel, were the Three Magi led to
Bethlehem. It’s a very nice story, but from a scientific perspective, there is a lot of disagreement over exactly what the Three Magi / Wise Men / Kings were following. First, it’s unlikely that it was a star at all, as stars do not noticeably move or change brightness from day to day. That leaves the Moon (too common), supernova (exploding stars), comets

Anthrax confirmed Saskatchewan Agriculture is reminding producers to be on the lookout for anthrax in their animals after confirmation that anthrax has been found in cattle in the RM of Harris #316. Anthrax was confirmed by laboratory results on December 17, 2015 as the cause of death in one cow. It is the suspected cause of death of two other animals on the same farm. This is the third report of anthrax in Saskatchewan this year. Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis, which can survive in spore form for decades in soil. Changes in soil moisture, from flooding and drying, can lead to a build-up of the spores on pastures. Spores can concentrate in sloughs and potholes, and risk of animal exposure to anthrax increases in drier years when these areas dry up and become accessible. Spores can also surface when the ground is excavated or when there is excessive run-off. Livestock are infected when they eat forage contaminated with spores. Ruminants such as bison, cattle, sheep and goats are highly susceptible, and horses can also be infected. Swine, birds and carnivores are more resistant to infection, but farm dogs and cats should be kept away from carcasses.
Affected animals are usually found dead without signs of illness. Anthrax can be prevented by vaccination. Producers in regions that have experienced previous outbreaks are strongly encouraged to vaccinate their animals each year. If your neighbours have anthrax, you should consider vaccination to protect your animals. The carcasses of any animal suspected of having anthrax should not be moved or disturbed, and should be protected from scavengers such as coyotes or ravens, to prevent spreading spores in the environment. Anyone who suspects anthrax should contact their local veterinarian immediately for diagno-
sis. All tests must be confirmed by a laboratory diagnosis. All positive test results must be immediately reported to the provincial Chief Veterinary Officer. Producers are advised to use caution when handling potentially infected animals or carcasses. Animal cases pose minimal risk to humans but people can get infected through direct contact with sick animals or carcasses. In cases where people believe they have been exposed to an infected animal, they should contact their local health authority or physician for advice. For more information see Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Anthrax Response Plan.
writing this article on has a planetarium program that can show me exactly what the sky looks like, from any place in the world, on any given date. The location is easy: I just type in ‘Bethlehem’. However, the year is not so straightforward; all we know is that it had to be before King Herod died, somewhere around 4 BC. Throw in the differences between our current
Gregorian calendar and the Roman and Julian calendars of the time, and nailing this down to a decade, much less a month, is a guess at best. If one cycles through the astronomical events a few years prior to Herod’s demise, there was a supernova in 5 BC, an appearance by Halley’s Comet in 12 BC, and a whole lot of planetary conjunctions in between, any one of which would have looked pretty good to a people waiting for the Messiah to come. But, without a date, it could have been anything. Skip ahead two thousand years to this Christmas. The Moon is full on Christmas Day for the first time in almost 40 years, kind of unusu-

Mercury makes a brief appearance on the western horizon, setting an hour after the Sun; Jupiter’s up by midnight and Comet Catalina by 2:15 a.m. All nice, but certainly nothing that might inspire three supposedly ‘wise’ men to journey anywhere. We will probably never know the inspiration for the Christmas Star, but does it matter, really? Sometimes a narrative is so good that details would just spoil it. Besides, those who enjoy spending evenings looking up at the heavens do not need a special event. What the universe offers up in your own backyard, every night of the year, is inspiration enough.

O Christmas Tree The Christmas tree is an essential element of the season’s celebration. And has been for centuries, even before there was a Christ or a Christmas. The earliest records are of Romans decorating trees with bits of metal for Saturnalia, a winter solstice celebration honouring Saturn. In the northern countries, evergreen boughs were brought into the home as a reminder that winter and darkness was a passing season and that the sun, green growth and farmers’ harvests would come again. The greenery also added colour to a season that was dominated by white, brown and grey and helped to freshen the air in peasant homes that they usually shared with their livestock. Evergreens also had a mystical or magical quality in early cultures. They symbolized eternal life for the Vikings and Druids. And they contained good spirits that could overcome the evil magic that “killed” deciduous trees and protected homes from evil spirits. Because of their close association with pagan rituals, early Christians were forbidden to decorate
their homes with evergreens, especially around the winter solstice (December 21). The proscription against using evergreens continued into the 18th Century where in England, the Puritans forbade observing Christmas believing such celebrations promoted irreligious frivolity. But the ban was not universal. Riga, capital of Latvia, claims the first Christmas tree in 1510. Germans too celebrated the season with evergreen trees and could buy a tree at a lot as early 1531 in Alsace (now part of France). Initially, the Norse and German pagan solstice tradition of decorating trees was repurposed by Christians – not to celebrate Christ’s birth, but to symbolize Adam and Eve’s expulsion from Eden: they decorated ‘paradise trees’ with apples on December 24, feast day for Adam and Eve. By the early 1600s, trees were decorated more extensively with paper, foil, tin shapes, lace, dolls, fruit, sweets, small gifts, and tinsel, all topped with a star to symbolize the star from the first Christmas night. Martin Luther is usually credited with
adding lights. Walking home one evening, he was struck with the beauty of the stars set against the backdrop of evergreens. In order to recapture the scene and to use it to represent Christ as the Light of the World (John 8:12), Luther attached candles to his Christmas tree. While the fire marshal may not approve today, my fondest Christmas memory is as a six-year-old at my grandfather’s house in Norway. It was our first Christmas on the farm and, to make it extra special, he decorated the tree with lit candles. Meanwhile, over in England, Queen Victoria erected the first Christmas tree at Windsor Castle in 1841. This was not a random whim by the Queen but likely a tradition that her husband, Prince Albert, brought from his native Germany. Taking their cue from their monarch, the rest of the country started putting up Christmas trees. In North America, Christmas trees didn’t make it into mainstream until the 1850s because of the strong Puritan influence. In 1851, Mark Carr started the first tree lot in the US, selling trees
for 5 and 10 cents; larger trees sold for 25 cents. What a deal! President Pierce really put the whole Christmas tree notion in North America in full gear by putting the first Christmas tree up in the White House in 1856. Edward Johnson, Edison’s assistant, came up with the idea of using a string of lights to decorate trees. Certainly a much safer alternative to using lit candles. This made decorating outdoor trees a possibility and, by 1912, decorated trees in public spaces were beginning to be a common sight.

Christmas Message from Premier Brad Wall In summer of 2015, public officials in our province of Saskatchewan issued a decree: that all affected people leave their homes and in mass exodus, travel to places of refuge where they could be safe and accounted for. They were escaping blazing forest fires of epic proportions. It was the largest evacuation in Saskatchewan history. Thousands of people were on the move, all of them in uncertain circumstances, not knowing how quickly they would return home. For a few young women, these circumstances had an added dimension of uncertainty. They were in the late stages of pregnancy. These young women were living as displaced persons far from home, without the supplies they had gathered for their new baby. But thankfully for
all concerned, healthy babies were delivered in hospitals close by with medical staff to give assistance. We are privileged to live in a province where people come together. That can be difficult when stress levels are high. And so, I salute the evacuees, the firefighters, the troops, the Red Cross, and the local officials, the mayors and chiefs. Those who shared money, food and supplies, and those who prayed for an ending to this situation. All rose to the occasion. Two thousand years ago, a public official named Caesar Augustus issued a decree that all people needed to be accounted for. It affected the entire Roman world. Everyone needed to be registered. Many people were on the move, with primitive travel arrangements, not

knowing how long this would take. I’m sure for some young women, this circumstance had an added dimension of uncertainty. Like being in the late stages of pregnancy. For one of these young women, the time came to have her baby, her first. Not in a local hospital along the way, not even in a clean, comfortable Holiday Inn, but in a stable, with precious few amenities. Her only assistant, a most likely very, very nervous husband, with perhaps some curious animals looking on. She didn’t have much for supplies either. All she had were a few
strips of cloth to wrap him in. And all she could lay him in was not a cradle made by her carpenter husband, but just a simple, dirty manger. Crude surroundings for a King. His first visitors – an adoring group in from the fields smelling strongly of sheep. They were alerted by a type of atmospheric media unlike any we could imagine. All rose to the occasion. This Christmas, we celebrate the arrival of that very special baby boy. The “Divinest Heart that ever walked the earth was born on that day” as it has been said. (Leigh Hunt)
His name is Jesus, the essence of hope and peace and the ultimate example of self-sacrifice for love. So from me and my wife Tami, and our family, and on behalf of my colleagues in the Government of Saskatchewan: “May you have the glad-
ness of Christmas which is hope; The spirit of Christmas which is peace; The heart of Christmas which is love.” (Ada V. Hendricks) And may you spread joy to others who need it most. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Curling has evolved to find popularity The Meridian Canadian Open Grand Slam of Curling event just completed in Yorkton once again brought world class athletes to our city. Having spent more than a quarter of a century here, and having been involved in news coverage the entire time, I can say it is rare for Yorkton to host events with an international element. Yet here were the likes of the Niklas Edin rink from Sweden, Sven Adelboden and Binia Feltscher of Switzerland, David Murdoch from Scotland, Eunjung Kim of Korea and Anna Sidorova of Russia.

Christmas Message from the Leader of the Opposition
Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas! I love this time of year. As the weather outside is increasingly cold, and as the world is at its darkest, we have this incredible season of warmth and light. Warmth that comes as we gather with family and friends, to carry on long-held traditions, and even start some new ones. And light that comes not only in colourful displays, but also through reflections on the past year, as we count our many blessings and look forward to what the New Year will bring. I can’t wait to see my daughters, their eyes all lit up, as they take in all the wonder of Christmas. Their laughter as they play with their cousins. Their enthusiasm in giving and receiving gifts from under the tree. And their big smiles as they drink mugs of hot chocolate after tobogganing outside. I’m looking forward to gathering with family and friends, to enjoy traditional Norwegian food. And I’m also looking forward to a few days away from the normal routine, to break out my
cross-country skis and enjoy the scenery of this beautiful province. For many of us, this is also a time to celebrate the Christmas story – a story of a baby, Jesus Christ, born in a stable, and rushed off to another country, as his family sought refuge from violence and tyranny. Christ’s message was one of love, grace and peace. A message that urges us to look out for one another, comfort those who suffer, feed the hungry, welcome the stranger, and give hope to the vulnerable. In so many ways, those are Saskatchewan values – the kind of values that motivate me as a leader to do everything I can to ensure that all people in our province are doing well, and that all of us can get ahead and achieve our dreams for our children. In this season, we
also think of all those whose lives were overturned this year – through illness or loss of work; through the death of loved ones; through massive forest fires in Northern Saskatchewan; natural disasters and acts of violence around the world; and war in places like Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. As we sing carols calling for peace on earth, joy to all the world, and the end of oppression and sorrow, we join with all those who yearn for a much brighter 2016. Whatever meaning this holiday season has for you, and however you celebrate it, I hope it’s a great one for you. On behalf of my wife, Ruth, our daughters, Ingrid, Clara and Gudrun, and all New Democrat MLAs – I wish you a Merry Christmas; holidays that are full of joy; and a New Year that is happy, peaceful and prosperous.
“In warm appreciation of our Association during this past year, we extend our very best wishes for a Happy Holiday Season” From the Staff, Management and Board of Directors of Yorkton Co-op.

Christmas message from the Lieutenant Governor
In 1914, the world was at war. Trench warfare created very difficult circumstances, particularly in the cold of winter. But on that Christmas Eve, something remarkable happened. A Christmas truce was called, and the soldiers on both sides laid down their weapons. They ventured out of their trenches and even exchanged modest gifts. That night, when the British soldiers began to sing “O Come All Ye Faithful,” the Germans joined in, singing the same hymn to the Latin words “Adeste Fideles.” For me, this is
the true message of Christmas. No matter what our circumstances, there is reason for hope and for gratitude. This Christmas, I am grateful for the Canadian men and women in uniform. I wish to thank the Canadian Armed Forces, our police officers, firefighters, and paramedics, for the sacrifices they make to serve. I am fortunate to take part in hundreds of events each year across Saskatchewan. This is a constant reminder to me of our greatest strength – our innovative, compassionate, and generous people. I am

CURLING Continued from Page 9 than 40 years ago, the first in 1959. Names such as Rick Folk and Sandra Schmirler followed. In Schmirler’s case she won three Canadian Curling Championships (Scotties Tournament of Hearts) and three World Curling Championships. But our interest in curling was not widely shared back in the time of these curlers. To the credit of the sport’s governing body there were changes made to the game, and progress made to raise the status of the game which really took curling to a new level. The big rule change was to establish the free guard zone, a rule which has evolved the game immensely in terms of adding strategy and fan interest. The free guard zone is the area between the hog line and the tee line, excluding the house. Interpretation: A stone which comes to rest biting or in front of the hog line after making contact with a stone in the free guard zone is considered to be in the free guard zone. A stone which comes to rest outside the house but biting the tee line is not considered
to be in the free guard zone, detailed www.parrysoundcurlingclub.ca Any stationary stone(s) belonging to the opposition that is located in the free guard zone shall not be moved to an out-of-play position by the delivering team prior to the delivery of the fifth stone of the end. The rule change was dramatic, and some purest balked at the idea, as it took the tried and true strategy of hit and roll and play for the blank end largely off the table. But without the major change curling would not hold the interest it does today. The other significant step was curling being added to the Olympics as a full medal sport in 1998. The admission to the Olympics raised the international profile of the sport and brought countries such as Korea, Russia and China onto the international scene. With a more dramatic game based on the rule change, and a greater international profile, curling became a good fit for an increasingly multi-channel world in terms of sports coverage. All the new channels needed content, and curling was a relatively low-cost option in
terms of filming events. And viola, the sport of curling came of age. While there might actually be fewer curlers in Canada today, the small town rinks disappearing just like rural grain elevators, hospitals and schools, there are a new generation of fans drawn to the sport by its regular appearance on television. Television of course is a key to sport exposure. You can argue the validity of darts, bull riding and even poker as sports, but in each
case they have seen growth largely because television has grabbed hold of events as a way to fill the time slots in an ever expanding universe of channels. Often we hear about sports working toward admittance to the Olympics as a key to eventual sport growth, and as happened with curling it helps, but I would argue TV contracts are more important, and that too is seen with the sport of rocks and rings. ever done; won four Brier and world titles, a feat Richardson and

Suffering separation anxiety in 2016
Ed, my old neighbor from Saskatchewan, was suffering separation anxiety when he called to wish us a Happy New Year. He hated to think of the old year passing away and the New Year arriving. He experienced so many good things in 2015 that 2016 could not possibly compare. He was vague about all the great events that he underwent this last year, but he hinted that a change in next door neighbors was liberating. My old neighbor wanted to share with me his predictions that he had ready for his New Year Eve’s party. I was a trial run to gauge reaction to his list of predictions for 2016. His predictions for a coming year have to do with the weather, politics, the economy and whatever else Ed feels like offering. According to Ed, the winter weath-
Holiday Greetings
Neighborly Advice According to Ed by Raymond Maher www.accordingtoed.com er in Saskatchewan will be cold, very cold, and bitter cold. The spring, early and dry, the summer cool, and the fall wet. When I asked about the weather for us in British Columbia, he said that it will be a wet lukewarm, for the whole year. On the political front, Ed is sure Donald Trump will get elected president in the USA, and that Canadians will start negotiating a trade deal to exchange Justin for Donald. Ed predicts that the way our dollar keeps getting devalued as compared to the American dollar, we will bring the penny back into circulation as that
is all our dollar will be worth. Valueless dollars will bring about Canadian ingenuity as we will start mining our reserves of gold and diamonds and our currency will be either gold or diamonds. The whole world will envy us. My old neighbor got so excited about a new currency he didn’t get to the rest of his predictions. Ed got offended when I said I would need to see the gold and diamond currency before I would believe it even slightly possible. He insisted gold and diamonds are the future not oil or potash. He was frustrated that I
didn’t accept all his predictions for the coming year. Ed knows I do not make predictions for the coming year. At my age, I have enough trouble keeping track of my glasses and keys. I cannot even predict the kind of day I will have, let alone what will happen in the coming year. Unawareness of the future is in line with the book of James that cautions: “Now listen, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.’ Why you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If it is the Lord’s will we will live and do this or that.’” The book of Ecclesiastes also instructs; “When
times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other. Therefore, a man cannot discover anything about his future.”
May 2016 find God above you, underneath you, behind you, at your right hand, before you, round about you, and within you through his word and spirit for a blessed year.

CURLING Continued from Page 12A in front of the hog line after making contact with a stone in the free guard zone is considered to be in the free guard zone. A stone which comes to rest outside the house but biting the tee line is not considered to be in the free guard zone, detailed www.parryso-
undcurlingclub.ca Any stationary stone(s) belonging to the opposition that is located in the free guard zone shall not be moved to an out-of-play position by the delivering team prior to the delivery of the fifth stone of the end. The rule change was dramatic, and some purest
balked at the idea, as it took the tried and true strategy of hit and roll and play for the blank end largely off the table. But without the major change curling would not hold the interest it does today. The other significant step was curling being added to the Olympics as a full medal
sport in 1998. The admission to the Olympics raised the international profile of the sport and brought countries such as Korea, Russia and China onto the international scene. With a more dramatic game based on the rule change, and a greater international profile, curling
became a good fit for an increasingly multi-channel world in terms of sports coverage. All the new channels needed content, and curling was a relatively low-cost option in terms of filming events. And viola, the sport of curling came of age.

Television of course is a key to sport exposure. You can argue the validity of darts, bull riding and even poker as sports, but in each case they have seen growth largely because television has grabbed hold of events as a way to fill the time slots in an ever expanding universe of channels.

(MS) — The holiday season is about to hit full swing. This special time of year is synonymous with many things, including gatherings with family and friends. Each year, holiday hosts face the challenge of setting their seasonal soirées apart from all the other parties guests attend between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Such a challenge is nothing three of Napa Valley’s top winemakers haven’t faced before. Each year, Chimney Rock Winery’s Elizabeth Vianna, Markham Vineyard’s Kimberlee Nicholls and Rutherford Hill’s Marisa Taylor play host to family and friends and each have their own unique take on holiday hosting. Break free from first-time jitters It’s common to feel pressure when hosting a holiday get-together for the first time. Many families have traditions that date back several decades, so being tasked with carrying on those traditions can sometimes be daunting. But Taylor, a wine country native and veteran host, notes that honoring family traditions while simultaneously creating a festive and fun atmosphere is nothing to be afraid of. “People are sometimes intimidated by holiday entertaining,” says Taylor, whose Rutherford Hill Merlot has long been a benchmark for Napa Valley varietals. “But the truth is, just a few small touches can create an ambiance that elevates the whole experience. I think it even makes the food and wine taste better!” Taylor incorporates family history with her
own unique hosting touches by bringing out vintage family photos and heirlooms that guests can pass around her stylishly decorated dinner table. Let new traditions take root Another way for hosts to set their holiday parties apart from the masses is to try something new at the dinner table. Each year, Vianna, who presides over the production of the popular Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignons, hosts a special kind of dinner for friends who help her get through the often exhausting harvest season. Dubbed “Friendsgiving,” the celebration takes place at the end of autumn har-
vest season and includes friends, family and colleagues who contributed to another successful harvest. Vianna even e n c o u r a g e s “Friendsgiving” guests to bring a postcard from somewhere around the world to use as a dinner table place card. This simple, yet creative idea inspires interesting conversation at Vianna’s holiday table, and hosts can incorporate their own creative touches to make their parties more memorable and enjoyable. For example, each year, Nicholls, whose award-winning varietals at Markham include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, assembles a graceful
tablescape using marble and wood serving trays, vintage tablecloths and a tiered cake stand to create an elegant display guests won’t soon forget. The more the merrier Family always make the holiday dinner guest list, but Nicholls notes that holiday hosting is about opening our homes to people, whether those people share our last names or not. Inviting some fresh faces can stimulate engaging conversation and lift the spirits of someone who might not be able to make it home for the holidays. “I’ve been known to invite people I meet at Markham winery who
might not have anywhere else to go for the holidays,” says Nicholls. “Somehow there’s always enough food.” To enjoy a Napa Valley holiday of your own, Chimney Rock, Markham and Rutherford Hill wineries are offering a chance for two lucky winners to visit Napa Valley complete with airfare, lodging, behind-the-scenes vineyard tours, VIP lunches with scenic views overlooking the Valley and even the chance to blend your own Merlot.

The Travelling Mabels A “Stars For Saskatchewan” performance presented by the Yorkton Arts Council, Monday, February 29, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. in the Anne Portnuff Theatre, Yorkton Regional High School. The Travelling Mabels, voted ACMA 2011 “Group of the Year,” are a folk/ country female trio full of spirit, spunk and laughter. Collectively, their songs bring a wealth of life experience to the stage. Singularly, each woman can vocally stand alone, but once you hear the combined harmony blend, you will know why these three women came together. The beauty of the Mabels is that they represent three generations of women. This has opened the door to a dynamic energy both musically and in the rapport with the audiences that most wouldn’t experience every day. With musical influences from Dolly Parton & Bob Dylan to Sheryl Crow, along with their comedic, yet often heart-felt take on life, they more than meet a wide range of audienve expectations. www.thetravellingmabels.com Tickets are available at the Yorkton Arts Council, 306-783-8722, online at www.ticketpro.ca or at the door. www.yorktonarts.ca Volunteers Needed!

New novel takes readers back through time
“Wild Rose” by Sharon Butala Published by Coteau Books Review by Shelley A. Leedahl $21.95 ISBN 9-781550506365 After completing Sharon Butala’s epic new novel Wild Rose, I closed the book and thought: This is why she’s on CanLit’s “A” list. If you’re in the mood for getting completely swept up in a female pioneer’s adventure–and this means fully empathizing with the young Québécois idealist, Sophie, as she sets out in 1884 for the West and the freedom it signifies–then buckle up, because Butala assuredly leads readers back in time to a landscape where “the sun [pours] itself over everything: horses, the hats of the men, the few women’s entangling skirts, the children’s round eager faces, the … already weathered false-fronted buildings, piles of all kinds of goods on the
Sask Books Review
ground from walking plows to stained sacks … to the teams of horses, the train itself …”. Butala has a masterly way with landscape, making it, too, feel like a character you enjoy spending time with. Given her many years of living on the Prairies-plus the fine craft she’s already demonstrated with sixteen highly-revered titles, including GG-nominated fiction and nonfiction – she comes by this gift honestly. This is a writer who’s experienced “a yellow wildflower quivering under the weight of a bee” and looked out to see “only grass and more grass, hills and more low,
softly sloping hills repeating themselves until they reached the far, lightfilled, wavering horizon.” I assume there were winters when she, like her realistic protagonist, felt that people “were nothing out here in the West … barely human beings here, just helpless animals in thrall to the unimaginable, implacable force that nature was showing itself to be.” Yes, the three big players in effective fiction character, plot and setting – each get full marks in this cinematic book, set in “tiny, unprosperous Bone Pile,” but it’s Sophie’s rich interior life – the questioning of her Roman Catholic faith, her
family, and what it is to be a woman; the reckoning with her unimagined challenges (including the shame of having her husband leave her, penniless and with a child); and the self-actualization she achieves in the story’s conclusion – that elevate this novel and should have it earning awards. Butala’s capture of how an immigrant might feel upon arriving in a new land and culture – without language skills – seems both topical and, again, experienced. Sophie has the added challenge of coming from a privileged family–she was raised with a cook and housekeeper in the home–and thus has much to prove on the unforgiving prairie homestead, desperately breaking clumps of soil and carrying pails of water a mile so she might grow vegetables; and later, devising how she’ll provide for herself and her son after her husband abandons them. The distinct chapters,
reeled out between past and present, offer clues to how forward-thinking Sophie came to make the choices she did, and the last paragraph is so fittingly wrought I cannot imagine it any other way. Wild Rose is a fully-
realized and gloriously wild ride of a novel. It is a triumph, in every way. THIS BOOK IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL BOOKSTORE OR ONLINE FROM WWW. SKBOOKS.COM
I can do it all by myself In families with young children there is always so much for Mom and Dad to do. The washing, cooking, cleaning and bathing never seem to end! The best way to lighten your workload is to teach children how to look after themselves and their things. GETTING DRESSED: Around age 3, children can learn to dress themselves. Take the time to teach your children how dress themselves, tie shoes and do up buttons. Hang clothes where your children can reach them. Store clothes in clear bins so that they can find what they are looking for. Have a laundry bin close at hand for them to put their dirty clothes in. CLEANING: Even a toddler can help with
household chores. Give them an old sock and teach them to dust. Have a dustpan and brush stored where children can reach it. If you have small cloths stored where children can get them, they can wipe up spills as they happen. MEALS AND SNACKS: Teach your child how to make a sandwich or even toast. Have bowls of fruit at your child’s height so that they can grab and go when they are hungry. Teaching children to do these basic tasks will not only make your workload lighter, but will also benefit your children. The self-confidence that children receive from being able and allowed to do these tasks is considerable!
By encouraging children to do these things for themselves, you
are placing them on the path to independence!
