Just maybe there will be a summer
Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The clouds cleared away and its 23ºC what more is there to say. With a teeny weeny breeze and a sky that speaks of a storm moving away, just maybe, June is busting out all over.

Time to give up
Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Grass will grow almost anywhere but there are limits as to how much traffic it can take. At some point you have to make the decision, if its not growing, maybe its time to replace it.

Tim's Tip of the Day

As a person ages, hips, knees and strength decline in function and its a good thing to have a useful tool like a walker to enable mobility. It is a pity that we did not have a similar tool to assist people with their intellectual activity. People of all ages need a brain-walker to help them to remember the basis of the society in which we live and the collective principles that help us interact with one another. We have laws and regulations that help us define the boundaries of freedom. It is curious to discover how so many want so badly to make things up as they go along. Urgent need for a brain-walker.

Kevin's find of the day

Missing: A Laptop of DEA Informants From the upcoming Newsweek issue of June 7, Michael Isikoff relates a strange incident where an auditor lost or destroyed a laptop containing more than 4,000 pages of sensitive drug and law enforcement documents. This follows on a warning by the US attorney general to maintain control over such material and equipment.

Tisdale Calendar
of Events


Elections Canada Letter Registering PC Party On the Ballot
Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario : From the shambles of the merger between the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada there has developed some serious and deep felt feelings. It was not a merger but a decietful take over and the resulting party does not represent most of the supporters of either of the parties involved but is really a construct of the leader of that party. So now another party has emerged to try to represent the 12% of Canadian voters who are not Liberal, NDP or neoconservatives.

TUCs field
Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Once a school yard and football field in the middle of Tisdale has become the centre of recreation for senior citizens and it looks like twenty-two couples are going to make their homes on the site.

Green Once More
Monday
May 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Three days of light rain, though less than an inch total certainly makes a big difference as lawns turn from winter brown and leaves begin to appear on the trees. Sigh!

Parkland Photography Club May Meeting
Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : This month's club meeting report brings us up to date on the clubs ongoing achievements and they share with us some outstanding images.

A clamp slipped off
Monday
May 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A water line ruptured in the middle of last week and was repaired Friday morning due to the failure of a clamp design.

Firewalls
Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan pointed out the obvious that Conservative leader Stephen Harper was an avowed Alberta Separatist. Ron Thornton makes the point that indeed all Harper is advocating what Ontario and Quebec already have and that is their own brand of self serving separatism and it only seems fair that Alberta be like them.

Saturday's sales
Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The rain did not put much of a crimp on garage sales this past weekend and we have pictures from three of the many I visited.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The Crawfords have been out touring again and we can all be glad they have been because this week's report includes four amazing pictures of the mysterious crooked trees near Speers.

Park flower beds dressed today
Thursday
May 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Each year parks and recreation adds beauty to the town's parks by doing up flower displays. This year's cold had slowed the process but today it was time to get the flower in place.

Canadian National Railroad - Saskatchewan
Thursday
May 27, 2004
by : R. W. Shire
Regina : It has been in less than twenty years that Saskatchewan's railroad system was destroyed. It is important to understand that railroads are under the juridiction of the Federal department of transportation and their destruction and abandonment was essentially a transfer of expense to the province as trucks run on highways which are a provincial responsibility.

Tourist booth has excellent first weekend
Wednesday
May 26, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The kick off for this year's visitor's season was the mini-golf two-for-one and despite the cold weather six camp sites were in use.

Swift Current Green House
Wednesday
May 26, 2004
Images by : Albert Eckart
Swift Current : Here are some very cheerful and promising looking pictures taken this past Saturday in a greenhouse in Swift Current.

Tisdale Student Summer Employment Centre
Wednesday
May 26, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Looking for someone to handle some work for you this summer, or are you a student looking for a job to earn a little experience and a little money? Get in touch with Renee Perrault at the 873-4257

The real axis of evil: President Bush and privatisation
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The Iraq expedition is definitely losing its popularity with the American public but it must viewed in the context of other world events and when seen as part of the whole there is a realisataion that the world is a dangerous place as a result of American policies.

Taxcuts and Deficits
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by: Dale Swirsky
Winnipeg : This submission was received before the election was called but is as pertainent today as it was when we received it last week.

SaskTel and the overseas dialer
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by: Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River : If you are using Windows and dial-up to connect to the Internet watch out for some sneaky pop-up menus that might appear while you surfing the web one wrong click and a nasty programme will reset your connection number from the one you have to an obscure island of the West coast of Africa.

Tisdale pool late opening this year
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : What the pool didn't open Victoria Day weekend! None and the way things are going it may not be open this coming weekend.

Lions build new spray park
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Tisdale's Lion's park gets a major upgrade as the old paddling pool has been removed making way for a brand new facility.

Change
Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This is a simple concept but one that needs to be thoroughly examined. Just like people who want to purchase an electric drill really don't want a drill, but want holes. So it is that once we get a handle on what the world is about we are in a better position to make changes.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
May 24, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : A trip into Manitoba with a report of what Gerald and Doreen saw along the way. Today's report has some outstanding rich images from some of the greenhouses visited.
