 The classic- Monday
November 24, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Recreation takes many forms but the classic experience for every western

skate on such facilities and for most of us it is the place where we will go for
our last trip around the ice.

speed on this topic.

 What are the limits?- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As we survey last night's setting sun the question
of limitations has to be addressed. Is the sky really the limit, of course we know
it is not, so we have to be willing to talk about the limits and that means talking
about priorities. Regina is closing three public libraries and an art gallery, the
libraries all in economically depressed areas. A year ago we talked about on this
site and everywhere else, the limits of public medicare, a year has gone by and little
has changed. So as we gaze at the sky we have to talk about limits.

Editing- Thursday
November 27, 2003

Carrot River: Lots of people buy video camcorders then
after a few attempts they find a home in a closet someplace waiting for a future
garage sale. Kevin tells us how to take a digital camcorder and a computer and put
together something that can be watched. Video is undigestible unless you edit it
in some fashion and here is how.

according to president Bush and his brother Neil
Short term gains and long term pains- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its references is hinting at
a disturbing problem with human nature. It seems that like leopards humans are pretty
much the way they are if raised in a specific mindset and culture there is little
chance of them being able to alter their perception and means of dealing with the
world.
