Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


North Texas school district will let teachers carry guns
With some qualifications teachers in the small independent Texas school District of Harold will be able to carry consealed guns during their working day. The school is about a 30 minute drive from the local sheriff's office and the school board thinks it appropriate for the teachers to protect themselves.

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • Tuesday, August 19th, 7:00 Tisdale Snowmobile club to meet Legion/Lions room Tisdale Civic Centre
 
 

The Greenwater report
Monday
August 18, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Rosthern: This week's report lets us go along on a weekend camping trip with the Sunseeker's club and visit Valley campground at Rosthern as well as sample other points of interest between Saskatoon and Prince Albert.
Wings over White Rock
Fridiay
August 15, 2008
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: This past weekend the Abbotsford Åir Show was on, so this is an excellent time to show you some highlights from the July 30th Wings over White Rock show which had been held as a fund raiser for the C.H.I.L.D. Foundation. (Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorder)
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
August 13, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Hafford: This week's report takes us on a tour of the crooked trees north of Saskatoon and some other rustic attractions that are a delight to discover and our benefit for Gerald to tell us about them.
Haying
Thursday
August 7, 2008
Images by: Dawn Shire
Gravelbourg: This is a large picture essay of Dawn Shire's pictures of this past weekend's haying operation on her parents small farm north of Gravelbourg. This is not state of the art agriculture but the way a family can and often does cope with the needs on an organic small farm in rural Saskatchewan.
Saskatoons - a good year
Wednesday
August 6, 2008
by: Judy Shire
Weekes: An exceptional year for these scrumptious berries that grow naturally all over Saskatchewan. Just like this year's crops the saskatoons in 2008 are outstanding and in their prime right now.
House one in place
Wednesday
August 6, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The basement was dug April 8th and a wood basement constructed but no development for most of the summer. Now a new house sits on the basement of the site where a house was consumed in fire last year.
Van fails to make it home from Winnipeg
Tuesday
August 5, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Glossop Manitoba: Holiday travel is always a matter of chance taking and driving new or twelve year old vehicles seems to make no difference when it comes to mechanical failure. Yesterday afternoon on our way home from Winnipeg the Windstar's transmission departed to that great mechanical wasteland in the sky.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
August 5, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Time for a walk in a park and a salute to a passing Wynyard friend. The motor home gets repaired and some thoughts on modern housing construction and design.
The Greenwater report
Monday
July 28, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Glaslyn: The Crawfords were out with a Saskatoon travel RV group and spent the weekend at Little Loon Regional Park five miles from Glaslyn.
New north perimeter road for Tisdale
Thursday
July 24, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: North on NewMarket past Forester and the pumping station and you will discover a new road being created to permit access into Tisdale's newest neighbourhood.
Business changes in Tisdale
Tuesday
July 22, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Shamrock Auto recycling has shut down and the property sold. Its hard to say if we are seeing retraction in Tisdale's business community as some businesses go out of operation while at the same time the local economy seems to be strong and doing well.
Abdication of responsibilities as Prime Minister
Tuesday
July 22, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria, B.C.: The prime minister's excuse for not repatriating the young man who has been in prison and tortured by the Americans since he was a boy is simply unacceptable. He has cheapened our citizenship and made us complicit in a travesty that is morally and legally inappropriate. Canadians do not or should not act in this manner.
Totally overwhelming
Monday
July 21, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Kipling: There are just no superlatives sufficient to cover the drama and power of massive thunderstorms like those that swept over the prairies this past weekend. The tail end of the system rattled its way past Kipling Saturday evening and the experience was overwhelming.
The Greenwater report
Monday
July 21, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Gerald takes us with him on a walk into a pleasant Saskatoon neighbourhood. Tells us about a trip out to Glaslyn and gives us a solid tip on dealing with MasterCard interest rates.
One tree missing
Friday
July 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It had an outstanding life and did its duty long past the time it should have passed on. With both of its stems showing external signs of degradation it was brought down today discovering that almost half of each trunk was rotted and a strong wind would bring it crashing down if it were not brought down safely today.
Air raids on wheat midge
Thursday
July 17, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Each morning as dawn arrives the sound of agricultural aircraft punctuates the calm as two warriors head out over the fields to do battle with the wheat midge the craws up the stem during the dark hours of the day to feast on the growing plant. There was a major campaign last year and right around Tisdale there is sufficient investation to launch this year's war on the pesky varmint.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
July 16, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park: A week spent out at Greenwater having coffee and visiting with old friends and family. The highlight of the week was meeting Logan, now a full month old, great grandson.
House eighteen gets a main floor
Wednesday
July 16, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: House construction continue to boom ahead with twenty housing starts so far. This proejct on Forester is one of nine on the block being built or nearing completion.
