NEW YEARS QUOTESBrooks Atkinson
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go.
Bill VaughanYouth is when you’re allowed to stay up late on New Year’s Eve. Middle age is when you’re forced to.
P. J. O’RourkeThe proper behavior all through the holiday season is to be drunk. This drunkenness culminates on New
Year’s Eve, when you get so drunk you kiss the person you’re married to.
Jay LenoNow there are more overweight people in America than average-weight people. So overweight people
are now average… which means, you have met your New Year’s resolution.
James AgateNew Year’s Resolution: To tolerate fools more gladly, provided this does not encourage them to take up
more of my time.
Eric ZornMaking resolutions is a cleansing ritual of self assessment and repentance that demands personal
honesty and, ultimately, reinforces humility. Breaking them is part of the cycle.

New Year’s Day Prayer for one and allDear Lord
So far this year I’ve done well.I haven’t gossiped I haven’t lost my temper;
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I’m very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, Lord, I’m
going to get out of bed, and from then on I’m probably going to need a lot more help.
Amen

A first grade teacher collected well known proverbs. She gave each child in her class the first half of a proverb and
asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. Their insight may surprise you.
Better to be safe than...punch a 5th grader.
Never underestimate the power of...termites.
You can lead a horse to water but...how?
Don’t bite the hand that...looks dirty.
No news is... impossible.
A miss is as good as a... Mr.
You can’t teach an old dog new... math.
If you lie down with dogs, you’ll... stink in the morning.
Love all, trust... me.
TRUCK AND CAR ACCESSORIES AND PERFORMANCE PARTS
The Month After Christmas
‘Twas the month after Christmas, and all through the house Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I’d nibbled, the eggnog I’d taste At the holiday parties, had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number! When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).
I’d remember the marvelous meals I’d prepared; The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese And the way I’d never said, “No thank you, please.”
As I dressed myself in my husband’s old shirt And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---
I said to myself, as I only can “You can’t spend a winter disguised as a man!”
So--away with the last of the sour cream dip, Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished “Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won’t have a cookie--not even a lick. I’ll want only to chew on a long celery stick.
I won’t have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie, I’ll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I’m hungry, I’m lonesome, and life is a bore---
But isn’t that what January is for? Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!

Hi Neighbours:
It’s hard to believe another year has slipped by. I have to confess that this year has seemed faster than others. This has been a busy year and here is a brief look at the year that was:
One of the big things is the construction of new homes in Brookhollow Estates; and the last two lots on Coleman Crescent were sold and now have homes on them.
The Kindersley Cemetery has a new structure serving as a ‘quiet place.’ Kindersley was featured in the Sask Business Magazine in March. The Town of Kindersley, for the first time, has been invited to SUMA’s City Mayors’ Caucus. Kindersley hosted the second Saskatchewan Municipal Infrastructure Conference. Two budgets were completed in 2015 as we shifted from doing the budget in March/April to
November. The pool had to be closed and we are working towards a new pool and complex. (I agree that
progress seems too slow). Council adopted a new Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw. To welcome newcomers to Kindersley, Welcome Wednesdays was launched. Council passed an Economic Development Tax Incentive. Numerous community groups shared with Council what and why they do what they do, and who
they serve. Changes have been made to our recycling program, including closing two collection depot sites and
launching curbside collection service. Water rates have increased with a tiered system. Debt payments on water infrastructure exceed $1
million. For the first time in 25 years, the Mobile Home Licensing Fee has been updated. There is now a spray park at the foot of the water tower near the library. Partnering with private business, there is a new lift station under development to serve a new hotel
and more growth. A partnership with Holland’s has resulted in the waste water from the backwash of the Haubrich
Water Treatment Plant being sold for industrial purposes. Council has incrementally made changes to the Policy Manual and is intent on being a governance‐
run Council. An infrastructure capacity report has been completed and informed the Asset Management Plan
and Long Term Financial Plan (10 years). The Kindersley Health Services Needs Assessment Report is being reviewed. The lights at Ditson and HWY #7 are finally installed and the Town saved more than $1 million. The site of the new regional landfill has been selected and an RFP has been advertised. At our last meeting, Council adopted an Anti‐Bullying Bylaw. These are some of the highlights of the year. Have a Happy New Year!
Please write or phone if you would like me to discuss a particular topic. If you have any questions or comments, drop me a line at the town office or email me at mayorenns‐[email protected]. You can also check out my blog at http://mayorjohn.blogspot.ca/. I appreciate your feedback.
NEW YEARS EVE ONE LINERS
A New Year’s resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. My new year’s resolution is to be more optimistic by keeping my cup half-full with
either rum, vodka, or whiskey. New Years Eve is the only acceptable time to wear body glitter without being
mistaken for a stripper. My New Year’s resolution is to stop hanging out with people who ask me about my
New Year’s resolutions. I have only one resolution. To rediscover the difference between wants and needs.
May I have all I need and want all I have. If 2014 was a person, I’d sue him for pain and suffering and lost wages.
This New Year’s I resolve to be less awesome since that is really the only thing I do in excess.
People treat New Year’s like some sort of life-changing event. If your life suckedlast year, it’s probably still going to suck tomorrow.
I’ll remember 2014 like it was yesterday Dear Luck, .....can we be friends in 2015 Please?
May all your troubles last as long as your New Year resolutions. Many things can be preserved in alcohol this New Years Eve. DIGNITY is
not one of them. I’m planning on finding new and interesting things to hate about my job in 2015.
Just heard that in 2015 there will be a new device that can turn thoughts into speech. I have had that for years, it’s called alcohol.

THE TWELVE DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS.
The first day after Christmas my true love and I had a fight. And so I chopped the pear tree down and burnt it, just for spite. Then with a single cartridge I shot that blasted partridge.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. The second day after Christmas I pulled on the old rubber gloves and very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. On the third day after Christmas my mother caught the croup.
I had to use the three French hens to make some chicken soup The four calling birds were a big mistake for their language was obscene.
The five golden rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green. The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn’t lay.
I sent the whole gaggle to the S.P.C.A. On the seventh day, what a mess I found. All seven of the swimming swans had drowned.
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me. The eighth day after Christmas before they could suspect.
I bundled up the eight maids-a-milking, nine ladies dancing, ten lords-a-leaping, eleven pipers piping, twelve drummers drumming - well, actually I kept one of the drummers – and sent them back collect.
I wrote my true love “We are through, love!” And I said in so many words “Furthermore, your Christmas gifts are for the Birds!”
