House number nine
Thursday
July 8, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Situated on the east side of New Market one of the few remaining lots available is the site for the ninth housing start of the year. The eighth project, a duplex, is not progrressing very quickly but does have its floor in place and construction on its walls is about to begin. House 9 has most of its exterior frame in place and the work crew is beginning the process of assembling the inside partitions. This project got underway on June 10 so it right about the month since it began development.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Renewal is one of the elements of life in a Saskatchewan town. The last wood elevator is gradually being destroyed as its owner has moved to another facility. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

U.S. Missiles Deployed Near China Send a Message
The United States has taken four of its 18 nuclear ICBM carrying submarines and converted them to cruise missile carriers and deployed them in the waters around China. This action is a sort of push back move as China is more aggressive in the area.

Happenings In Tisdale:

Little crop in bloom
Wednesday
July 7, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The heavy rain and high water table is combining to take a fatal toll on the crops that did get planted. With only half the fields planted (less in some areas) the yields will be very low on those crops planted because these conditions and flooding just will not make for a positive harvest.
 
Canada Day fireworks at Crooked Lake
Monday
July 5, 2010
by: Matthew Shire

 
Crooked Lake: Each July first George and Linda Broda host a huge family gathering at their cabin at Crooked Lake and the evening is capped off with a fireworks display. This year there was ten knots of wind to deal with but the show went on and Matthew captured some of the scenes for you to enjoy. It will keep on playing until you click on "Ensign" to return to the front page.

"B" train rollover at Estlin
Wednesday
June 30, 2010
by: Stu Innes

 
Estlin: Saskatchewan's roads and highways are home to thousands of grain haulers who run around the clock get their loads to their destinations. It is surprising how few run into difficulty. Last night near Eslin south of Regina a "B" train did a complete rollover from wheels to roof back to wheels with only slight injuries to the driver.

Tisdale: Tisdale has a curious custom of its high school graduates painting up a clunker for the celebration of their high school finale. Here are some pictures of this year's crop of vehicles.
1957 Pontiac Laurentian convertible
Tuesday
June 29, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: This rare and magnificently preserved fifty-three year old car has been in Tisdale for the last week or so and definitely deserves some comment on this web site.
A wet land
Monday
June 28, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Those fields that were planted are severely, perhaps terminally damaged from the almost continuous rain we have experience in May and June. Today we have three picrtures that illustrate the situation.

Monday
June 28, 2010
by: Darlene McCullough

 
Tisdale: Tisdales retired teacher went a tea house in Carrot River and had a fish supper at Tobin Lake to wrap up this past year's activities. This report summarises the year.
Unsettled weather
Sunday
June 27, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: A few showers even a few showery days are the norm for late June in Saskatchewan but in a year when rain is followed by more and more rain the sequence of daily rain is getting a bit tiresome.
New curbs for north New Market
Sunday
June 27, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The newest section of Tisdale had some preparatory work carried out this week getting ready to pave the north portion of New Market and the new cul-de-sac of Fairy Glen.

Friday
June 25, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Forester Crescent is nearly complete with only three corner lots vacant. House number 7 is a Rise Construction project and is now getting wired and is ready for siding.
Municipal McCarthyism
Friday
June 25, 2010
by: Eugene Parks

 
Victoria, British Columbia: The head of Canada's spy agency was speaking out for Canada's national government when on CBC he fingered municipal politicians in B.C. being under the control of foreign governments.
Webserver hacked
Thursday
June 24, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Regina: In the middle of the night early Friday morning the server that brings you this web site was attacked by hackers attempting to gain control and access to the server. They did not achieve their goal but did enough damage to prevent updates to the site until it was over hauled on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.
Boundary Bay Air show
Thursday
June 24, 2010
by: Brian Marlatt

 
White Rock, British Columbia: In the southern most part of mainland British Columbia is the airport known as Boundary Bay. This past Saturday they held their sixth annual air show. Brian Marlatt was on hand and caught more than a hundred pictures of the displays and the air show itself. Some very interesting aircraft and outstanding weather.
New treatment for 1100 block 95th St
Tuesday
June 15, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Tisdale streets are in pretty tough shape and it looks like the town is seeking some alternative to full fledged pavement with the need to resurface several streets. 95th Street is the first to try out something old and different.
Seeding is over
Monday
June 14, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The countryside around Tisdale is positively lush from the almost steady rain over the past weeks. But the fields are laying in water to much water to dry up quickly but also enough to drown crops already sown. Few farmers expect to do any more planting, what is in the ground is the crop for this year and in some parts of Saskatchewan that means most of the land this year will lay fallow.
The Greenwater report
Monday
June 14, 2010
by: Gerald Crawford

 
Humboldt: This week's report gives us the low down on the Good Sam club that held their special outing this past weekend in Humboldt. Despite the rain it looks like things went off just great and the Crawfords are off this coming weekend for another RV tour of northwestern Saskatchewan.
House # 6 on 95th street
Thursday
June 10, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The continuous rain is slowing the progress on house construction but despite the rain the work is progressing with the basement for house nine finished up today. This new house sits on the site of a small dwelling that was knocked down December 1st and today McFadden's crane moved the whole rafter system of the garage into place.

Thursday
June 10, 2010
