Souris, Manitoba: Since Ensign did not post last week we get a Greenwater report two days in a row. This report takes us across the province to Kennedy then on into Manitoba to Souris and then to Winnipeg.

- What once was Kenosee Lake
- Friday
August 14, 2009
Images by: R. W. Shire
Kenosee Lake, Moose Mountain Provincial Park: For many who grew up in South Eastern Saskatchewan, Kenosee Lake was the centre of the universe. Outstanding golf course, great dance bands, swimming, fishing camping and a great beach to hang out but some sort of geological accident has made the lake just a fraction of what it once was and mostly we just have the memories.

- Still a way to go before harvest
- Friday
August 14, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: That cold spring was followed by an equally cool summer and the crops though looking good are weeks behind normal. In a simple drive through the country north of Tisdale this morning it looks like two to three weeks before the process begins.

- Stephen Harper: A Homer Simpson in the making?
- Monday
August 17, 2009
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria, British Columbia: Mulroney's privatisation of the Medical Isotope processing resulted in the confusion with the Maple reactor project. Now after several law suits all lost by the government they own the non-working reactors. Time to sort them out and get isotope production back on line.

- Does Noah have a cell?
- Wednesday
August 19, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With the weekend's rain followed by yesterday and today one wonders "How long can you tread water?" It has been a miserable cool summer with Albertans complaining of drought and Manitobans still pumping out their basements from spring flooding. Now I wonder if its to late to get in touch with Noah for some advice and information about what's a cubit.

- Not quite yet
- Thursday
August 27, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Most barley crops are ready to swath and peas are ready for the combine but with only 15ºC today and about the same yesterday things are not dry enough to get the harvest process underway. While taking these pictures this was one of two swathers struggling to chop into a damp but ready field.

- Chronically short history
- Friday
August 28, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With a historical heritage of only a few years more than a single century this part of Canada is virtually a new world in progress. Though as a people we can look back on our European experience this history of this part of the world is so short it practically is non-existent. The area had been inhabited for perhaps 12,000 years but almost nothing is for sure prior to 1905.
