Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day

Are mobile phones wiping out our bees?

The mysterious disappearance of bee colonies has prompted a major alarm now it looks like the culprit may be something out of science fiction.

Ensign Notes

.Happenings In Tisdale:

Five minute parking
 
Wednesday
April 18, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Just what this world needs is more signs. Today the town crew installed five minute parking signs in front of the community post office.
Out and about class
 
Wednesday
April 18, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Its been a long time since you could walk around in shirt sleeves and teachers at TMSS have been taking advantage of the good weather and getting their classes out of the classroom.
Pick it up
 
Wednesday
April 18, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Great weather to go for a walk but the ugliness of the stuff dropped since fall is a bit of a mess. Here is the simple and healthy solution.
TILMA
 
Tuesday
April 17, 2007
by: William Dascavich
Edmonton:
What we know and understand as the way of nature of Canadian life is in danger. NAFTA has made it difficult for Canadians to be Canadian now there is more and more encroachments coming our way and we need to be aware of the trouble ahead.
Over the banks
 
Monday
April 16, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Despite the week of cold weather the amount of water heading north up the Doghide River channel exceeds the river's capacity and it is now in flood stage.
The Greenwater report
 
Monday
April 16, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
Stories of spring at the park as there are rennovations to the beach cafe and water treatment plant, the gold course will open again this year and no news on what will happen to the Cove. But the snow is melting and the water flowing, Gerald likes warm weather.
Look at our everyday ways of living
 
Monday
April 16, 2007
by: Larry Storm
Welland Ontario :
The challenge of global warming and the preservation of the environment is huge but maybe we need to think of it as solving one problem at a time. Cut down on commuting to work, reduce the size of car engines and tickle the auto's fuel efficiency.
Make life in Saskatchewan even better; Close rural schools?
 
Saturday
April 14, 2007
by: Jaime Message
Ormiston:
In an open letter to the Premier of the province this seventeen year old grade twelve student makes his solid case for the continued operation of his community's school.
Seeding time for Russian thistles
 
Friday
April 13, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Swift Current :
Canada may be an urban nation, filled with diverse cultures and depending upon immigration for growth but the bottom line remains the same as always, out here we grow things.
The Greenwater report
 
Monday
April 9, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
The melting process is slow at the park as well and dragging spring on a bit. Gerald is getting itchy feet and wants to get that motor home on the road and the deer think Doreen is an easy touch.
CWB e-mail: Civil servant suspended for e-mail
 
Monday
April 9, 2007
by: William Dascavich
Edmonton:
Mr. Dascavich praises the work of the Canadian Wheat Board in the light of a recent story in the Edmonton Journal about the extremist right wing views demonstrated by someone working for Alberta's Department of Agriculture.
Follow the education money to the cities
 
Monday
April 9, 2007
by: Linda Anderst
Richmound:
Richmound is a remote rural community in Saskatchewan's vast southwest border region and is facing the closure of its school. The parent suggests that the money to operate their school is being moved to pay for urban schools.
Strahl adds option #2 to #3
 
Monday
April 9, 2007
by: Nettie Wiebe
Delisle:
Perhaps its a new form of political mathematics as the minister of Agricutlure takes liberties with the numbers obtained in the so-called plebscite on barley handling with the Canadian Wheat Board.
Frozen fields
 
Thursday
April 5, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Watson:
The mild cold snap has retarded the spring run off process allowing the creeks and streams to drain and make the water movement out of the fields slow enough to prevent widespread flooding.
Saskatchewan educational funding
 
Tuesday
April 3, 2007
by: David Gleim
Chaplin:
The closure of rural community schools is only part of a much larger picture that involves the way education is paid for in Saskatchewan and how the cities get most of their money from the province and the rural areas pay for it themselves.
A Saskatchewan perspective
 
Tuesday
April 3, 2007
by: Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River :
Though no completely unsympathetic Kevin voices his views about Mrs. Leippi's story Sunday about the possible closure of their school in Kronau.
The Greenwater report
 
Monday
April 2, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :
A trip to Kelvington, some bowling start out this week's report. Gerald marks the passing of a friend Mr. Renneberg and relates some great stories about the man. The report ends with a bit on the Tisdale Rodeo horse pull and the great service at Mr. Ribs.
Conrad Black for Governor General
 
Monday
April 2, 2007
by: Robert Ede
Richmond Hill Ontario :
Conrad Black may be a pompous thief but his take on the Quebec provincial election is remarkably accurate and needs a long hard look.
Saar School, Kronau
 
Sunday
April 1, 2007
by: Ina Leippi
Kronau:
Big is not better and Saskatchewan's rural people are disturbed by the threats to close fifty school not in urban areas. Mrs. Leippi explains her concerns.
