Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day

  • House of Doc a blue-grass group performs at the Maurice Taylor Theatre on Friday April 18th.

Moving, the North American way
Tuesday
April 15, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Watson: We all take it for granted that it is perfectly normal for a construction company to specialise in moving structures of all kinds. It is done all of the time but it is actually a phenomena of this part of the world.
Doghide in full flood
Monday
April 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With the temperature staying above freezing the snow has all but vanished and the little Doghide is as high as we have seen in recent years.
The Greenwater report
Monday
April 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: This week Gerald shares with us some amazing images taken by his grandson Scott while touring Asia. These are National Geographic quality pictures and give us a rare glimpse into a world so remarkably different from our own.
The Queen City
Monday
April 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Regina: Regina is the home town to a lot of Saskatchewan people and to many others it's the city they know as the seat of government, education institutions, medical care and commerce.
ENSASK Biofuels rumored failure
Wednesday
April 9, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: An official announcement is expected next week to proclaim the failure of the Ethanol production facility for Tisdale and area.
Housing construction about to begin
Tuesday
April 8, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The first basement in Tisdale in 2008 was dug today and preparations for a succession of them are well underway.
Gradually the snow is disappearing
Tuesday
April 8, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: No spectacular floods so far, freezing each night and sun melting each day, this is a spring that requires patiences.
The Greenwater report
Monday
April 7, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords were out to Greenwater this past week and got caught up on the happenings at the park. Coffee row, and fishing were dealt with and now they are ready for the garage sale season.
Anticipating a new building season
Monday
April 7, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Two vacant lots have had the snow removed in preparation for the digging of new basements as Tisdale is ready for another year of housing construction.
Tisdale Ramblers Trade Show 08
Friday
April 4, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This year's trade show seemed more subdued and scaled back from other years. Many of the usual displays were not at this year's show and there was a light turn out Friday afternoon.
Tie quilting group wraps up another year
Thursday
April 3, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Thirty-five quilts have been produced in this year of cutting and piecing together projects that will be donated to various places.
Fat truck
Thursday
April 3, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Curious about an odd looking truck and the realisation that this is how waste cooking fat is collected for recycling.
Spring clouds
Wednesday
April 2, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Swift Current: With the passage of winter the sky changes and we once again get to see fair weather cumulus clouds and we also get to see surprise snow storms, the two don't always go together but it can happen.
From hockey arena to rodeo ring
Tuesday
April 1, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Each year in a matter of a couple of days the RECPlex arena in Tisdale is transformed from a hockey rink to a rodeo ring as the ice went out yesterday and the dirt hauled in and spread today the actual rodeo hardware was being put in place.
The Greenwater report
Monday
March 31, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: This week's report has some pictures of a garden show in Saskatoon and winter recreation at the park. The most important part of this week's report is Gerald's report on the problems with medical service even more compounded by interprovincial hospital services. This sort of difficulty needs to be considered very carefully especially in the light of concerns about poor communications between Medicine Hat and Calgary with the resulting death of a Leader man.
Busker in Tisdale
Monday
March 31, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: In the lightened spirit of spring a young man got out his guitar and a battery powered amplifier and began singing and playing on the main downtown street corner in the community.
Parkland Photography club March meeting
Saturday
March 29, 2008
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale: This month's theme was portraits and we have the top four images submitted. The club updated the group on various projects they have in the works. The next meeting is on April 22.

Friday
March 28, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Gerald was at a car show and has contracted a cold but his sense of humour is still working and he has sent us a picture by Bill Gudjonson of a Lynx at the park.
The first day of spring
Thursday
March 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We had cloud most of the day and there were few things that one could point to that suggested that this was the official first day of spring.

Wednesday
March 19, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Each spring the Beeland Co-op puts together its annual collection of new grain bins to meet the demand of the coming season. The process has begun once more as the new crop of metal monsters take shape on the Co-op lot on the west side of town.
