Front Pages 2000
|
On days where a single picture is featured on the front page of Ensign with no accompanying
story it is nice to preserve the image so that if you missed seeing that day you
can still see the picture as it was originally shown on the front page. We have kept
a collection of Front page pictures for 98 and 99 but the page has become so large
that it takes eight minutes to load so we have begun a second "Front Pages"
page with only those front page pictures beginning in January of 2000. |

May 24, 2000
Showers spread out over the Northern portion of the province Tuesday night giving
needed moisture to the new crops. Though serious winds prevailed in the South they
were moderate in the parkland. This picture is of downtown Tisdale just after midnight
this morning.

This is the May sky greeting us in this part of the province this morning with the
wind almost still and the sun breaking through the patchy sky. We take a second look
at another court house, this one in Swift Current.

At the end of the fourth month of the new century we take time today to consider
quilts, sports goods and a spring morning sky. The picture this morning was taken
long before dawn at 0427 as the fleeting clouds of the few showers of yesterda drifted
away.

This picture was taken at sunrise Saturday morning West of Melfort. Though the wind
was cool all day the sky cleared and the country was drenched in sunlight. You might
want to check out the newly overhaulled table of contents as Ensign has upgraded
this section to further enhance the archieved material.

This is how Tisdale's main street looked at 9:30 this morning, lots of sunlight and
a bit chilly in the shadows. Today Ensign will be posting a new concept in marketing,
road asalt and Mario's concerns about the North East Health District, these will
appear this morning around 11:45 thanks for dropping by this morning.

ESSO Goes Way Up
- Friday
March 10, 2000
Only ESSO so far has changed gas prices in Tisdale Thursday when it met the Regina
price of 72.9 (that would be more then $3.00 a gallon). All other outlets remain
at the same level as reported earlier this week. It is interesting to note that
the price in Kamloops B. C. varies from 62.9 to 68.9. Picture above taken Thursday
at 7:00 PM.

This picture was taken yesterday afternoon with heavy snow falling to the West and
North it appeared as though we too would soon see snow but alas this did not happen.
Instead the Wheat Pool has suspended trading on the stock exchange as it re-organises,
todays news is filled with yet more discussion on health care. It is a topic that
won't go away. We have published countless articles on the subject and today is no
exception as Mario explains the "wellness model" issue and how home care
is a dodge. This article and the Recplex March calendar will be published at 10:45
this morning so drop back then and check things out.

There is a certain seemliness to this morning's Monday sky. Two solid layers of cloud
over our heads and the temperature on the positive side of zero. From Alberta we
hear that the RCMP works for oil companies and in Saskatchewan there has been deafening
silence since the RCMP task force went to work on the Saskatoon investigations of
the city police death squad alligations. Chile's dictator Pinochet is back home in
Santiago, the Sandra Schmirler funeral is live on CBC Newsworld and CBC Radio 540
at 1:00 today. Enisgn will publish an article on child poverty by Mario deSantis
later this morning and - - - have a nice day!

Today we recognise the passing of one of Saskatchewan's great heroines. Sandra Schmirler died last night leaving her family, the curling community
and Saskatchewan people saddened at the loss of a thirty-six year old mother of two
and the person who most raised the game of curling to its greatest heights and world
recognition. We are all better for having lived during her time and regret that it
was not longer.

A pretty glorious way for the sun to say "good-morning" this picture taken
just before sunrise today show the extensive low level cloud cover and the stratus
layers above. Today we have an account of last night's Rambler and Nipawin Knight's
game. This will be posted around 10:30 this morning, so thanks for dropping by come
back and check out the game later today.

This is the 6:40 predawn sky of this morning. The cirrus has pretty much left the
sky now and we are experiencing an outstanding later winter day. There may be some
material added to Ensign later today so you might check back later to see if there
is anything new, thanks for dropping by today, I would love to hear
from you.

Like so many things, groundhog day is decided far away where the sun was shining
this morning and both Willy and Phil saw their shadow and winter is to last six more
weeks, easy for them to say! This picture was taken about 8:20 and shows this morning's
stratus layers but winds will pick up through the day from the West. In the mean
time send us e-mail.

Definitely a seasonal picture as bits of snow descend from the thin overcast with
a North wind blowing it to its temporary resting place.

There is nothing that is as fragile and fleeting as the magical shadows on snow.
These were captured Sunday afternoon. We can expect sunlight today for most of the
day although there is a chance of some precipitation despiste the temperature having
descended to -20.

Last night we were blessed with a couple of inches of fresh white snow. I took this
picture at 10:00 this morning without a jacket as the temperature has krept up to
-5. This morning we have a short report on the Junior Men's curling, and perhaps
more, these will be posted just before noon today. Thanks for dropping by and why
not take a moment and send me email, I need
your input for guidance on the things we should have in Ensign.

This image was taken yesterday around 11:00 as the sun came out to brighten our lives
as this patrol cleaned up our street from the gradual nightly snow fall. With temperatures
only -7 and rising today and this week end we expect it to be mild and sunny and
there is enough snow for some cross country.

at 9:03 this morning. So where does all the rubble go? Check back later this morning

I have taken down the Christmas lights for the year but the spirit of Christmas and
the good will of this new year will last for a long time. This morning's picture
