Wading into spring
Thursday
April 2, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Two geese by the highway and perhaps eight at the lagoon but its a start as the puddles expand and the snow thins on the fields and lawns. The streets in town badly need the sweeper and Heritage Road feels like it hasn't been graded in a decade, all are signs of spring.
Major water break
Thursday
April 2, 2009
images by: Ken Styan
Tisdale: Using aa contractor there were repairs made this week to a water main just west of Tisdale's main street. The excavation was about 100ft long.
Saying goodbye to winter
Wednesday
April 1, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Spring looks pretty much to be here now and its a good time to look back at what we will remember as this past winter. So much of what we will remember is not the winter itself but the economic uncertainty that were part and parcel of this season.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
April 1, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawford have been gambling again and this past weekend took in the Gardenscape show. There is no question that they are eager to enjoy spring and the coming summer.
Breakfast buddy turns 86
Thursday
March 26, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Every morning is special but today was extra special as Margaret LeGrand a member of The Great Wall restaurant's coffee row celebrated her eighty-sixth birthday.
Parkland Photography Club March 2009
Thursday
March 26, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough

Ice and roll
Tuesday
March 24, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Star City: At 5:15 this afternoon the ice conditions on highway 3 between Tisdale and Melfort were critical with one vehicle rolling and less than a mile away another sliding into the ditch.
Aurora the artist
Tuesday
March 24, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Regina: This is what being a grand father is all about, being able to celebrate the accomplishments of a little girl as she draws, colours and prints her name on her work.
The Greenwater report
Monday
March 23, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: A visit to the home show to visit with folks from back home and trip out to Craik scouting for a Sunseeker excursion.
Crown Cabinet & Countertop
Friday
March 20, 2009

by: Timothy W. Shire

Regulations and the free market philosophy
Thursday
March 19, 2009
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: It is truly confounding to face the fact that the present government of Canada has such enormous difficulty doing its job, a job quite simply is to govern the country. Ther problem seems unavoidable as they lose sight of their job in order to forge ahead with their hatched in Alberta concepts of what government should be.
Seniors and the telephone
Thursday
March 19, 2009
by: Ken Styan
Tisdale: Though the computer has become so common place in many homes there are far more households without computer access than those with the machine embedded in the fabric of day to day life. Therefore, the telephone is most likely here to stay.
The demise of the telephone
Wednesday
March 18, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: What a shame, Alexander Graham Bell had a great idea and it has worked for us well for over a century but alas the era of the telephone is over. Spam advertising, wrong numbers, voice mail and computerised answering systems make the thing all but completely useless.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
March 17, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords are showing patience with the winter that drags on and on as they take in a visit to the casino, catch a glimpse of an eagle, visit the Field House regularily and have an allergic reaction to newspaper ink. The Crawfords celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary this past week.
Conservative innovation hits poorer municipalities hardest
Tuesday
March 17, 2009
by: Nancy Clarke
Grand Bank, Newfoundland Labrador: The Federal Budget though touted as a stimulous budget had within it a score of other legislation. With enormous pressure to pass the budget quickly the opposition did not do their work and the government moved its neo-conservative agenda well forward. This story points out a glaring example.

Friday
March 13, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Every year the town clears the ditches and drainage runoff waterways in and around the town. Despite the really cold weather this week the work has been carried out using the blower.

Thursday
March 12, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It has been tough for both Strive Concrete and now Farber Construction to get this project going. Cold temperatures have interrupted the work but the walls on a new duplex condo on 95th street are going up.
It's what we're about
Wednesday
March 11, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: With world wide unemployment rising and the markets in shambles it is important to shake ones head and look at the horizon and think just what are we about. Saskatchewan depends for its wealth on mining, oil production, potash, forestry and agriculture. Here in this part of the province agriculturre is the thing and we must not forget that, but its time to get ready for another crop year.
Connaught road gravel stockpile
Tuesday
March 10, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: In the winter the frozen roads permit the heavy trucks to move gravel for stockpiles but in the spring, summer and fall the weight restrictions limit loads in order to preserve to roads themselves. Saskatchewan badly needs to upgrade its rural road system.

Monday
March 9, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
