Delivery charges may apply.Kayle Neis/Regina Leader-Post Madi Massier, the social co-ordinator and co-director of the Hawk Principle, stands for a portrait at Pepsi Park where the organization holds its Sunday Funday outreach events. Photo taken on Friday, Dec. 20, 2024 in Regina. Larissa Kurz Regina Leader-Post Madi Massier “wasn’t surprised” that a recent point-in-time count of individuals living unhoused in Regina had doubled since 2022. As someone who has worked in various frontline positions, including current roles as social co-ordinator and co-director at The Hawk Principle, Regina’s homeless crisis is well known to Massier and anyone else offering boots-on-the-ground support. However, seeing those numbers increase 255 per cent since 2015 has further sparked Massier’s concern that government policy is not working to keep people out of such vulnerable positions. “That should be very alarming to people, the fact that there is that many unhoused people,” Massier said after the preliminary stats were released Wednesday. Regina’s 2024 count included at least 824 individuals, almost double the last count in 2022. Saskatoon recorded nearly 1,500 people, which triples a 2021 survey. Such counts only represent a snapshot of one night in either city, but they’re often used to demonstrate the severity of the situation. Massier said the staggering rise in Saskatchewan’s numbers could have been stymied a decade ago if governments had proactively invested in a housing-first model at that time. “It’s now escalated to a point where it’s so severe it almost feels like there’s nothing we can do,” Massier said. “We’re seeing the effects of what happens when you aren’t listening to housing advocates, and it’s systemic.” Massier pointed to initiatives that have operated successfully, such as the Housing First Program run by Phoenix Residential Society. Its preliminary data in 2017 showed that, of the 36 individuals who were housed in the program’s first year, zero returned to homelessness. Phoenix Residential and YWCA Regina estimated that the program led to nearly $2 million in savings on government-funded services like hospital admissions, emergency calls and detox visits. Peter Gilmer of the Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry agreed that people need a strong social safety net and housing-first supports to effectively change their situation. He said Saskatchewan is behind in both. “One person unhoused is too many,” Gilmer noted. “To see 800-plus is an outrage.” Clients in Regina and Saskatoon are struggling under insufficient income and housing programs. Gilmer said the issue has been growing in communities outside the largest cities as well. He repeated the same call that advocates have been making since 2019. As a start, he’s asking for changes to the Saskatchewan Income Support (SIS) program to provide sufficient shelter benefits. “The SIS program has wreaked all kinds of havoc,” said Gilmer. “It isn’t just a question of poverty. It’s a question of deep poverty for folks that are on this program.” The Hawk Principle incorporated last fall as a mutual aid co-op that was borne out of frustration with the way Saskatchewan’s system works, said Massier. Founders wanted to bridge a gap between institutions and other services to foster connection and take a more human approach to help people feel comfortable and valued. “We as co-directors had been through the system, been so burdened and hard done by the system, that it was just time for something new,” Massier said. The group delivers outreach, meal programs and open social contact, all with the principles of “healing, wellness and kindness” to help create a path for people to rise above their circumstances. While homelessness grows as a political issue, Massier said the public conversation has begun to leave out so much of the humanity that exists behind numbers like point-in-time counts. Massier urged the public to think about all 824 unhoused individuals in Regina as people, each with their own story to tell. “That’s someone’s family member — their daughter, a parent,” Massier added. “I know it shouldn’t have to be about proximity, but it kind of is. This could be anyone. “At the end of the day, these are people’s lives.” lkurz@postmedia.com -Advertisement-
MADRID (AP) — Getafe scored twice in three minutes midway through the second half to beat struggling Valladolid 2-0 and record only its second win in La Liga on Friday. The victory ended Getafe’s five-game winless run and lifted it into 15th place in the 20-team standings. Javascript is required for you to be able to read premium content. Please enable it in your browser settings.ORLANDO, Fla. — It was a season of Iowa State comebacks. And fittingly, that's how it ended for the Cyclones. Game MVP Rocco Becht scored from a yard out on fourth-and-goal with 56 seconds remaining and No. 18 Iowa State capped the best season in school history by rallying past No. 15 Miami 42-41 in the Pop-Tarts Bowl on Saturday. Becht finished with 270 passing yards and three touchdowns for Iowa State (11-2), a program that entered this season — the 133rd year of Cyclone football — never having won more than nine games in a year. “If you look at this team, it’s really who they’ve been all year,” coach Matt Campbell said. The win marked the fourth time in 2024 that Iowa State got a winning score with less than two minutes remaining. For this one, the Cyclones rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half — with Miami quarterback Cam Ward watching after a record-setting first half — to get win No. 11. Carson Hansen rushed for a pair of touchdowns for Iowa State. And as the MVP, Becht got the honor of choosing which flavor Pop-Tart was to be sacrificed in a giant toaster. “There's only one,” Becht said. “Cinnamon roll.” Ward passed for three touchdowns in his final college game, while Damien Martinez rushed for a career-high 179 yards for Miami (10-3), which dropped its sixth straight bowl game and lost three of four games to end the season — those three losses by a combined 10 points. "Disappointed that we couldn't pull out a victory," Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “These guys have always fought and always competed and this was no exception. ... It's painful. It's as painful as it gets when you don't win. But there's a lot to build on.” NEBRASKA 20, BOSTON COLLEGE 15: Dylan Raiola passed for 228 yards and a touchdown as Nebraska built an 18-point lead through three quarters and hung on for its first bowl victory since 2015.

Raiola completed 23 of 31 passes in front of a sizable Nebraska crowd that celebrated the team's first bowl win since topping UCLA in the 2015 Foster Farms Bowl and first winning season since 2016. Raiola completed passes to 10 receivers, including Jahmal Banks, who finished with four receptions for 79 yards. Grayson James finished 25 of 40 for 296 yards as Boston College (7-6). UCONN 27, NORTH CAROLINA 14: Joe Fagnano threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns to help the Huskies (9-4) beat the Tar Heels (6-7) at Fenway Park, embarrassing incoming coach Bill Belichick's new team in his old backyard.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It was during the pandemic when the Rev. Kira Austin-Young and her puppet-maker husband, Michael Schupbach, were going a little stir-crazy that they came up with the idea. Instead of a star or some stylized humanoid angel to top their Christmas tree, why not create a biblically accurate angel? The result was a pink, blue and gold-feathered creature with six wings and dozens of eyes that went a little bit viral. "I think in, particularly, the times of the world that we're in, where things seem kind of scary and weird, having a scary and weird angel sort of speaks to people," she said. This Dec. 12, 2021, photo shows the biblically accurate angel Christmas tree topper created by the Rev. Kira Austin-Young and her puppet-maker husband, Michael Schupbach, atop the tree in their former home in Nashville, Tenn. There are a number of different kinds of angels that show up in the Bible, said Austin-Young, associate rector of the Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin in San Francisco. For the most part, we don't get a lot of description of them, but both Revelations at the end of the Bible and some of the books of the prophets in the Old Testament describe strange creatures around the throne of God. "Some of them have six wings with eyes covering the wings," she said. Others have multiple animal heads. "I think one of the delightful things about the Bible and the Scripture is just kind of how bizarre it can be and just how kind of out there it can be." About 7 in 10 U.S. adults say they believe in angels, according to a poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted last year. Still, there's no agreement about what they look like or even exactly what they are. Social media is full of various interpretations of "biblically accurate angels" imagined not just in tree toppers but also drawings, tattoos, even makeup tutorials. The many-eyed creatures reject traditional portrayals of angels in Western art, where they often look like humans with wings, usually white and often blonde or very fair. Esther Hamori, a professor of Hebrew Bible at Union Theological Seminary, makes a distinction between angels and other "supernatural species" in the Bible like seraphim and cherubim, but she said she loves the biblically accurate angel trend, even if it conflates them. "It shows that people are thinking about ways in which the Bible contains far stranger things than what's often taught," the author of "God's Monsters: Vengeful Spirits, Deadly Angels, Hybrid Creatures, and Divine Hitmen of the Bible" wrote in an email. "The biblical heavens are filled with weird, frightening figures. In the Bible, God has an entourage of monsters." One of Austin-Young's favorite portrayals of the annunciation — a favorite theme of Christian art depicting the archangel Gabriel's appearance to Mary to announce that she is going to bear the son of God — is by Henry Ossawa Tanner. It conceives of Gabriel as a vaguely humanoid shaft of light. "It kind of makes you rethink, 'What would that be like to be approached by an angel?'" she said. "If it's somebody you don't know, or if it's a strange creature, or if it's just this kind of manifestation of God's message to you. ... That could be anything." ___ Associated Press religion coverage receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

The White House said Friday that a ninth U.S. telecommunications company has been hacked as part of a Chinese espionage campaign that gave the country's officials access to private texts and phone conversations of Americans. The Biden administration said earlier this month that at least eight telecommunications companies and dozens of nations had been impacted by the Chinese hacking operation known as Salt Typhoon. On Friday, deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger told reporters that a ninth victim had been identified after the administration released guidance to companies about how to locate Chinese hackers in their networks. The hackers compromised the networks of telecommunications companies to gather customer call records and access the private communications of a limited number of people, officials said.

(AP) The FBI has not publicly identified any of the victims, but officials believe senior U.S. government officials and prominent political figures are among the victims whose communications were accessed. Neuberger said officials did not yet have a precise sense of how many Americans overall were targeted by Salt Typhoon, in part because the hackers were careful about their methods, but she said that a "large number" of the victims were in Washington, D.C., and Virginia.

Most of the victims are "primarily involved in government or political activity," the FBI said. Neuberger said the hacking showed the need for required cybersecurity practices in the telecommunications industry, which the Federal Communications Commission is set to look at during a meeting next month.

"We know that voluntary cybersecurity practices are inadequate to protect against China, Russia and Iran hacking of our critical infrastructure," she said. The Chinese government has denied responsibility for the hacking campaign. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
