The Family Cottage
by BURL JANTZEN
Technology may answer many questions about a
comfortable future on the prairie. But, depending on
who you ask, it raises just as many.

Jantzen to learn how generations succeed one another

Spring Tune Up
The historian of science
may be tempted to
exclaim that when
paradigms change, the
world itself changes with
them .
S
— Thomas Kuhn
pring, no matter who you are, can be taken as a do-over.
I’ve always felt that way when getting a tractor ready
for a new season of farm activity. It has been a habit of
mine to wonder if there is some significant change to be
made that will yield easier work or better returns on a season’s
labour—a change of paradigm, in a nutshell. It’s a remarkably
optimistic habit.
A
paradigm is merely a pattern or a model for getting
something done. We are surrounded by these things.
Take the family cottage, for example (see page 30). There
are traditional foods, games, rituals, and rules that apply from
season to season. Change may seem unnecessary to the pattern or
downright unthinkable. But as Burl Jantzen reveals in his follow-
up article to his original
Prairies North
story from 2005, new
paradigms emerge with the most fascinating results.
The role of technology in Saskatchewan’s future is an
increasingly complex conversation and we can expect some
paradigm shifts in that realm with consequences for all of us.
We turn to experts in the field to help assess how we can talk
productively about technology (see page 22).
As you ponder the idea of change in this issue’s stories,
please take an extra moment to enjoy the cover image that was
submitted by Terry Graham. The submissions for our cover
photo contest were all uniquely beautiful and you can see more
of them on page 13.
