Tim's Tip of the Day
|
Survival is a serious matter of risk management. Those who are successful have reduced
their danger to the lowest possible level. When planning a trip  consider the rate of traffic on
a route and the route that involves the lowest number of danger spots. When you consider
this traveling on the Trans-Canada highway from Wolseley to Virden is a risk factor
that should be avoided. Though Yellowhead traffic is heavy it is many times safer
than #1 in the Eastern portion of Saskatchewan. |

 Extra kidneys give hard-drinking

brothers from Bosnia have four, instead of the normal two kidneys each. This diagram
is the way things normally are located. |

 Its not easy being
mean- Wednesday
February 25, 2004
by : Judy Shire
La Ronge : The sky in this northern community is often
quite different from what we see only a few hours South. The spindly ragged trees
are the northern imitation for palm trees and just as exotic.

 They just didn't
nab him!- Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Edwin Wallace
Success : How soon we all forget. The years that
followed Grant Devine's defeat were years where the main Saskatchewan news stories
dealt with the latest criminal investigation of yet another member of the Devine
government. The kingpin of those cases was that of Deputy Premier Eric Bernsten.
Though Grant Devine was never officially implicated, as with the scandal in Quebec
of the Liberal's making, also begs the question, as to how could such things be going
on and the boss not knowing about it?

 Grassroots mowed down- Friday
February 20, 2004
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The Conservative Party's Interim Committee
chairperson Don Plett says that the committee wants to keep the party "pure".
Seems like the Reform/Alliance/Conservatives have held to their principles all along.
Stephen Harper was a declared Alberta Separatist who is seeking the
leadership of the party, Grant Devine is one of Canadians politicians who fought
and stood for Canadian Unity.

February 20, 2004
