Tim's Tip of the Day

When you get your next spam phone call just say, " Hold On, Please...", while putting down your phone and walking off instead of hanging-up immediately. Then when you eventually hear the 'beep-beep-beep' tone, you know it's time to go back and hang up your handset, which has efficiently completed its task.

Kevin's find of the day

Frontier wisdom
The US government is very unsettled by the Taliban taking over a big chunk of Pakistan. To get a much better understanding of the situation here is a long but thorough interview with a Governor of one of Pakistan's four provinces. Read this and you will be an expert on the Afgan/Pakistan conflict.

Happenings In Tisdale:

Sunday, April 26, 11:30 - 1:30 Sylvania Hall, Sylvania's 5th Annual Relay for Life Potluck Brunch

Track and field season: Wednesday
April 22, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Within a month the Track Meets will have been held and the season will be over for another year. It is difficult in Canada to prepare for competition with such a short season.

Neil Young in Concert: Wednesday
April 22, 2009
by:Kevin McIntyre
Saskatoon: Here is a first hand account of last night's Neil Young concert in Saskatoon complete with a conversion with an usher and the marvels of music of a very uncommon man.

Welcomed spring: Tuesday
April 21, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Every spring is a time of anticipation but it seems that the spring of 2009 was special and needed more than other years. Be it the first robin or just warm enough not to require parka and gloves, this one is appreciated.

The Greenwater report: Monday
April 20, 2009
by:Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords ventured forth into some nasty weather and made a visit to Kelvington, Greenwater and Tisdale. So we get an update on rivers, wildlife and the look of the land.

Two buildings in Leacross: Friday
April 17, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Leacross: A little more than twelve miles north of Tisdale is the site of what once was a village. All that remains are two derelict buildings.

April showers in white: Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It began snowing just after midnight and except for a few let ups during the day, has piled the wet foam like snow, on us all day. Here are eleven pictures of our white April shower.

Stone throwing: Best done after self evaluation: Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario: The Prime Minister is demanding that his party stay clear of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Prime Minister asserts that his party has a moral compass and the Liberals do not. Looks like we need to think these moral issues over just a little bit more.

Schapansky ready for spring sale: Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Tuesday of next week its time for the first big auction sale of the year as Bruce Schapansky pulls out all the stops with a major farm equipment auction sale.

BeeMaid moves from downtown: Wednesday
April 15, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The community's primary supplier for the honey making industry has moved to a new location on highway 3 beside the John Bob Farm Equiment yard from its former location between the Credit Union and the Shell service station.

The Greenwater report: Tuesday
April 14, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The garage sale season is on once more and the Crawford have been on adventures. A sore hip is causing some walking problems but its time for a trip out to Greenwater.

Doghide still within its banks: Tuesday
April 14, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Through the years it is normal for the spring run off to exceed the capacity of the little Doghide River that flows along the east side of Tisdale. This year it is flowing along peacefully and the water is staying with in the banks of the river.

Canadian Grain Act - Bill C-13; privatisation on the march: Thursday
April 9, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As we discover the reason Canada's banking sector is one of the soundest in the world is because it is not allowed free reign but is carefully controlled. Up to now countries around the world can import grain from Canada knowing it is safe but all that could change because the government wants to do away with all controls on the grain handling industry to benifit the grain companies.

Taking advantage of spring: Wednesday
April 8, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As winter crept along project and developments are delayed as everyone waits for warmer weather and now its time to get at those things that have been waiting to be done.

Rambler's trade show part 2: Tuesday
April 7, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Saturday presented the opportunity to get some additional pictures of some of the outstanding exhibits and boothes at the Rambler Trade Show.

The Greenwater report: Tuesday
April 7, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: With the sidewalks melted off Gerald has been walking to coffee. Doreen went off on an excursion and Gerald is concerned about the premier's glasses.

Rambler's trade show: Friday
April 3, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are 38 pictures of some high lights of this year's trade show as it looked this afternoon.

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.
