February 10, 2005

about to dig up the marina.

 Wednesday
January 26, 2005

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.

- 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)
