Tim's Tip of the Day

You know how Gerald Crawford blows about the food at Fisherman's Cove at Greenwater, well the food is very good but the coffee is a blend of pavement and industrial waste.

Ensign Notes

Summer holidays: That's right, 2003 is the first year since 1991 that we have had a chance to take a holiday. During June, July and the first two weeks of August we will have some intermittant days when Ensign will not post. Our plan is to do some tripping and camping here in Saskatchewan.Three days at Madge Lake, will be posting today, tomorrow and may be Thursday, then off on another camping trip.

Camouflaging Racism in Saskatchewan and in the Saskatoon Police Association
Tuesday, June 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Racism is an ugly thing but we are not going to make any progress with it as long as we done come out and deal with the issue.

There are games being played here and its time to call it what it really is.
