Slim pickin's; trouble in movieland
Tuesday
February 26, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: No new movie planned for this weekend in Tisdale! What's the problem? We look into the long shadow of difficulties in the entertainment industry demonstrated by the low interest in this year's academy awards.

Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Michael Jackson's Neverland foreclosed: auction date set
The King of Pop's ranch and property in Santa Barbara will be sold off on March 19. Jackson owes some $24,525,906 on the property and has not been to the place since June of 2005

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • Saturday, March 1, 8:00 first Trojan play-off game

Why army officers in Afghanistan made career limiting moves
Tuesday
February 26, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: It is long past the time where Canadian citizens need to know what is going on in a war we as a country have somehow gotten involved in and now we seem to be committing ourselves to further involvement.
The New Conquistadores
Tuesday
February 26, 2008
by: David Orchard
Borden: In the 19th century there was talk of Northern Europeans having the role of carrying out "white man's burden" of bringing civilization to the heathens of the world. It was just plain old colonialism and in this article David Orchard makes the case that what is going on in Afghanistan and Iraq is just plain old imperialism.
Gravelbourg for the weekend
Monday
February 25, 2008
by: Matthew Shire
Gravelbourg: Matthew and his family visit Gravelbourg for this past February weekend and he has a photo essay of the community, making a snow man and the horses on the farm.
The Greenwater report
Monday
February 25, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Time is taking its toll on friends of the Crawfords as this week's report names a number of good friends who have passed on. Gerald has a nice picture of a Lynx for us and tells about the perils of walking the ice covered streets of t he city.
Time passes and so does life
Friday
February 22, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Five death notices in the post office last week and three this week could lead those of us still alive to feel a little depressed. That's why we need to look at things and realise that we are temporary inhabitants and should appreciate the time we have.
Dora Sharko, more memories
Thursday
February 21, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We have had contact with a grandchild of Dora Sharko and with Joy Claypool who wrote the obituary for this remarkable woman who was connected with Crooked River and the now all but forgotten railway siding called Murphy's.
Total lunar eclipse
Wednesday
February 20, 2008
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: Here in Saskatchewan the moon will become obscured by the earth's shadow near 9:00 and continue through until midnight. Many are predicting this will be a Red eclipse. Brian shows us his pictures taken in August of 2005.
Hard surfaced snow
Wednesday
February 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The brilliant sunlight and cold temperatures have produced a crusted countryside as the snow is now covered with ice as we impatiently await some signs of spring.
Trojans near end of regular season
Monday
February 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This weekend the Trojans split with a 4 - 3 lose to the Hounds in over time and a 7 - 2 win over the Argos. Now there is only one home game left in the regular season.
The Greenwater report
Monday
February 18, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The bus tour is over as Gerald fills us in on the last days of the adventure and some observations he made along the way about freeway traffic and drivers. Ah, but it is good to have them back at home.
Time to assess the situation
Friday
February 15, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: When you are just trying to stay warm and keep the driveway clear of snow its hard to figure out just what the heck is going on.
Deer in open country
Thursday
February 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Mid afternoon and a small troop of white tail deer make their way across the countryside on their way to lunch at Walker Seeds pulse terminal north of Tisdale.
The Yellowquill tragedy
Wednesday
February 13, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Two children die while in the care of a drunken parent and the band chief and leadership want the province and Ottawa to set up a treatment centre on the reserve. Where is the local responsibility for a tragedy like this one?
Thank our troops and bring them home
Tuesday
February 12, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C.: Our people have done what was needed to be done, they have done more than we asked of them and its time to recognise that little more can be done in a country that has a tradition of constant civil war. It time to come home.
Manipulative record necessitates sober second thought
Tuesday
February 12, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario: The Harper government does not inspire trust when it comes to making promises about its intentions. Their record in the past suggests that they should not be trusted and committing our military to a war in Afghanistan indefinitely seems like a very unwise thing to do.
The Greenwater report
Monday
February 11, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Reno, Nevada: The Crawfords have completed their stay in California having visited LA, San Diego, the coastal highway and San Francisco. This week's report has some great pictures of their adventures.
Farmers caught in the middle
Monday
February 11, 2008
by: Stu Innes
Regina: Like a hockey team the Canadian Wheat Board is only as good as its last game and Mr. Innes points out some serious worries he has about this year's crop which has brought him far less than half its value at this point.
Attack on the Canadian Wheat Board
Thursday
February 7, 2008
by: William Dascavich
Edmonton: The federal government is paying various grain producer groups to oppose the Canadian Wheat Board and make it look like there is farmer support for dismantling the board.
For some "Winning isn't everything it's the only thing"
Thursday
February 7, 2008
by: Peter Ceighton
Mississauga Ontario: Wajid Khan crossed the floor of the House of Commons leaving the Liberal party to become a loyal supporter of the Conservative Party. He was found guilty of violating the Canada Election Act by over spending $31,000 and was fined a mere $500. So much for integrity and the law of the land.
Some Tisdale folks have feathers
Wednesday
February 6, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Our human view of reality is often somewhat clouded by the way we obtain what we consider to be the facts of life. It helps us to see things a little more clearly if we consider how things look from the distinguished and intelligent point of view of our feathered friends, the ravens.
the Greenwater report
Tuesday
February 5, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Los Angeles: As the snow piles grow the scenes that seem familiar are changed as mountains of the stuff seem to blind us from buildings and the surrounding area. Even the structures themselves change as snow hides and masks them as we know them.
Albert Eckart
Tuesday
February 5, 2008
Swift Current: We mark the passing of a family member who contributed to this site with a story or two. Eugene Eckart's snow plane, Eckart's Snowplanes, Tulips, Spring in Swift Current and Swift Current Green House.
