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.

Tim's Tip of the Day

How about a movie this weekend. Tisdale's Theatre is the best for picture and sound in the area and an interesting movie. Melfort is showing the Aviator one of the best pictures this year and in Porcupine a marvellous movie on enduring love.

Kevin's find of the day

Letterman's secret writer: Johnny Carson CNN carried this Reuter story about retired talk show Johnny Carson sending jokes about the news to Dave Letterman.

Tisdale Calendar
of Events

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.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
January 12, 2005
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park :After a trip for Christmas to Alberta Gerald is back bucking the wind and watching the snow fall as north owls maker their appearance and he is on the lookout for cardinals.
Yorkton Harvest start the new year with 4 - 1 win over the Tisdale Trojans
Friday
January 7, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : For the last ten minutes of play Yorkton barely touched the puck as the Trojans tried to get back into a game they had lost in the first two periods. Great effort but no cigar. The stands were full of loyal fans and though their team lost it was a thriller right to the last second.
Winter City
Thursday
January 6, 2005
by: Timothy W. Shire
Regina : Regina's hardy residents are attempting to handle the challenge of winter pretty well as they have had a bit of snow between Christmas and New Years and then to start the New Year some crisp temperatures. Today they have temperatures in the teens and are likely to become confused.
The Breaking of some Myths for 2005 and beyond
Thursday
January 6, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : Without paying attention to some fundamental issues we can very easily come to some very confused conclusions. This story attempts to point out some fo those issues.
Swift Current's New Year's Baby
Wednesday
January 5, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Swift Current : At seven thirty Monday, January 3rd this little girl arrived in Swift Current's hospital making her the first baby of the new year for this southwest Saskatchewan city. The next day three more babies were born as families celebrate each new arrival and all of us can look forward to the days, weeks and years to come.
2005 as it looks from here
Wednesday
December 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The tradition continues of taking time at the end of the year to look both forward and back and reflect upon what may be expected.
"May your days be merry and bright and may all your Christmases by white"
Friday
December 24, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : With snow falling and the temperature a seasonal -23ºC Tisdale experienced a perfect Christmas eve. For us in this part of Canada every Christmas is a white one but we can easily identify with the nostolga felt for Christmases past.
The miracle of Christmas and the obtuse notions of Paradox and Catch 22 in today’s Economics
Friday
December 24, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : The is a dramatic need for perspective so that we see things over the long term and grasp the basic concepts of consequences that do not necessary occur simply because some other circumstances may have had some similarities.
As Canadian as
Wednesday
December 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

Tisdale : If you ask a Canadian what it is to be a Canadian they will mention a number of things but it is almost certain that all will have hockey some where on their list.
George Bush's smarts and the economy
Wednesday
December 22, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : Last week the Administration of the United States government held a conference on the economy and came up with some amazing decisions as they completely ignore the decline these same policies have already had on both the US and world economy.
