When it comes to pure fun in sports few offer up bigger portions than ice cross downhill.

There is always some new game that attracts a player to venture into areas of gaming they may not normally go. That is what The Transcontinental is doing for me.

Years ago, as a Christmas gift to myself, I memorized the Nativity account in Luke 2. I saw images I hadn’t seen since a child. My ears tuned to hear ecstatic praise in the night sky.

In terms of sport ice cross racing is still very much in its infancy. Red Bull staged the first official ice cross downhill race in Stockholm, Sweden, in 2001. The track was 300 meters long and it was constructed right along a series of city streets.

On behalf of the Yorkton and District Horticultural Society, I’d like to wish all of you a peaceful and blessed Christmas, and every good thing in the coming year.

One thing I realize as a sports fan is a love of a rather broad range of sports, and self-admittedly my interests can run to the fringes of the sports world as well. I doubt many in the city, maybe no one except me, tunes in on YouTube.

Tansi. Bonjour. Hello. I’m pleased to bring you greetings on behalf of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, at this special time of year. This is a holiday season unlike any other.

A rather interesting decision is likely to come down in the coming months from Health Canada. The national organization is about to determine the fate of neonics for use by Canadian agricultural producers.

Merry Christmas to all of you who will be celebrating a very different Christmas this weekend. We all wish things could be different — and by different, we generally mean the same as we it has always had.

Hello folks. Well, Christmas is almost here and I want to take a moment to wish everyone a happy and joyful holiday season. This year, the celebration will be a little different.
