Trojan win third in a row 6 - 3 over Prince Albert Mintos Wednesday January 26, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : Tisdale's Trojans dominated their opposition Tuesday night as they dance back and forth around the ice and showed the true puck and stick handling capabilities of this remarkable team.
Symphony of Time Wednesday January 26, 2005 by : Tracy Kirsch Regina : This is one of those special things that come along every so often. Ms. Kirsch came up with a concept and moved it into a picture, a sound scape and a text message that blend to tell the story all to familiar to all of us.
Deal with it Monday January 24, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : Minus thirty for three weeks then up to 0 to -10º range, floods in B.C. and storm after storm pounding the maritimes. Its just winter let's deal with it.
A glimpse at today’s shameful role of intellectual property rights Monday January 24, 2005 by : Mario deSantis Prince Albert : This is indeed a glimpse of a much larger problem than it would seem at first. The process of turning everything into "property" of some sort was originally intended to benefit the few who produced what ever property they were intending to "own". The problem is this process has backfired and is resulting in intellectual, economic and social stagnation choking the life out of the society it was intended to protect.
The Greenwater Report Monday January 24, 2005 by : Gerald Crawford Greenwater Provincial Park : It warmed up a bit and Gerald got to clean up some snow and make an icy trip back from Saskatoon. The coffee circle continues and Brian is clearing the unwanted scrub around the park.
Time to pull the curtain Friday January 21, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : The Supreme Court of Canada once it listened to the tobacco companies' arguments on hiding tobacco products from view in Saskatchewan stores ruled in favour of the Saskatchewan Government overturning a lower court's decision to overturn the Saskatchewan cover up regulations.
Change Friday January 21, 2005 by : Kevin McIntyre Carrot River : After thinking about the story on "change not decline" Kevin had some important things to contribute both from his persective and from the way rural Saskatchewan is just a former place.
Marriage Friday January 21, 2005 by : Joe Hueglin Niagara Falls Ontario : This is a story that simply won't go away as the PM is asked about it in India by their prime minister and today Mr. Martin showed his contempt for the Opposition leader when he spoke at a press conference in China and said that he and his government stand on the Charter and minority rights and would go to an election if need be on that issue.
Education and the church Friday January 21, 2005 by : Edwin Wallace Success : Public education was developed not to better the intellect of students but to support a democratic form of government. Democracy is meaningless if the voter is not able to be informed and able to reason so schools came into being. The Jesuits had this figured out centuries before and the battle for the minds of children continues. Edwin wants assimilation.
Our day will come Thursday January 20, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : This photo essay shows the ghastly beauty of winter and reflects on the ever present optomism that often blinds us to appreciating things just as they are. This story includes KD Lang's version of this outstanding classic song. (QuickTime required)
They Hypothetical Economist Lawrence Summers Thursday January 20, 2005 by : Mario deSantis Prince Albert : If there was ever a need for proof that the country to the south of us is sinking into the past, the head of one of their most elevated universities demonstrated an attitude toward woman that is insulting to half the people on this planet.
Unimog Wednesday January 19, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : When it comes to off road trucks the leadership in that field is not made in North America. The best and most successful is built by Benz and is called the Unimog.
Change not decline Monday January 17, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : Zellers closed in Tisdale last September and its huge story in Swift Current closes in February, they actually will be knocking down the building on the east end of the Swift Current Mall. Retail in North America is having problems, K-Mart, Zellers, Target, Hudson's Bay, all are closing outlets trying to find a way to stay in business and SAAN was purchased by a hack and chop outfit that buys up businesses and then reduces them to their parts to recover its investment. This is not a retail decline it is a retail change. (warning: this is not a brief article)
The Greenwater Report Monday January 17, 2005 by : Gerald Crawford Greenwater Provincial Park : Gerald has gone and bought some snow tires, is rejoicing in the so to re-open Cove and the cold is crimpling his walks in the snow.
Van quest Sunday January 16, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : There is sort of mystery to the function and operation of mechenical devices and since the play such a vital and seemingly important role in the lives of us all just getting along from one day to another can be a test, a kind of quest for each and every owner.
Arctic quest Friday January 14, 2005 by : Timothy W. Shire Tisdale : The west wind is a demon, overwhelming in its power, curel and unrelenting. Only avoidance and the approach of spring can dampen its affects.
Mac Mini just another piece in the revolution or evolutionary puzzle Wednesday January 12, 2004 by : Timothy W. shire Tisdale : The information age, the electronic age, the age of automation all terms that suggest that we are living in a time when things have changed. They have but we aren't there yet as each critical part of the whole picture is coming into focus. As you are reading this on a computer screen you are yourself part of that revolution and it is a complex combination of hardware, software and user acceptance and capability.
