First taste of spring
Tuesday
March 2, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Our streets are melting, there are puddles, no one seems to be able to stay inside and the long days with great sunshine are just getting longer. Yes these are signs of spring and they are welcomed by everyone after what has to be a very mild winter. This story shows some of Tisdale this afternoon.

Tim's Tip of the Day

As long as their has been kids and snow banks there have been snow forts. They are a perfect example of adaptation, using what you have at hand and available to shape into something that you can make and though the achievement is worth while it is the process of building a fort that is important.

Find of the day

Ice deposits found at Moon's pole
India's moon radar satillite orbitting the moon has found siignificant quantities of water ice in craters at the Moon's North Pole. The ice is more than a metre thick and the craters range from one to nime miles across. This means that human colonisation is possible.

Happenings In Tisdale:

The spirit of the 2010 Olympics
Tuesday
March 2, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Despite the politicians and the corporations who tried so earnestly to use the Olympics for their own purposes Canadians came through. They and their athletes made the games a success and we need to be proud of the way Canadians came together with the games and how our athletes deserved the support their received.
The Greenwater report
Monday
March 1, 2010
by: Gerald Crawford

 
Saskatoon: A couple of interesting wild life pictures this week in the report and Gerald tells us about his reaction and involvement in the Vancouver Winter Olympic games.
Pedation of preditors
Friday
February 26, 2010
by: Timothy W.. Shire

 
Porcupine Plain: The actions of government are almost always political and rarely based on scientific research or even common sense. The $20 bounty on coyotes is a remarkable example of poorly thought out government action to satisfy a few vocal ranchers. As far as we know there are no sheep ranches in the Porcupine Plain area but there are thousands and thousands of rodents in urgent need of control.
Parkland Photography Club February meeting
Wednesday
February 24, 2010
by: Darlene McCullough

 
Tisdale: This month's meeting brought the club up to date on on going projects and it was time to judge two theme shoots. Dramatic images for "lines" and "mundane". But the club is also proud to share with you Jenny Fritshaw's knock out picture of a coyote eating a frozen crab apple.
Did you know that watches once ticked?
Tuesday
February 23, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Many rural roads are blocked waiting for spring to melt away the winter's snow. But each day is a little longer and soon each day will be a little warmer as February turns to March and we can experience some real storms.
One Canadian's view of the games in Vancouver
Monday
February 22, 2010
by: Michael Townsend

 
Kamloops: The hype of the Olympics asside, when it comes right down to it the Canadian medal winners demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship and what Canadians are proud of in being Canadian. This story also reports on and refers to an interview that was heard on CBC Radio's Q programme where American broadcaster Brian Williams pretty much puts the negative views of the Vancouver Olympics to bed. The composite image at the top of the page "Figure skating rocks" was created from CTV's live coverage online of the event.
The Greenwater report
Monday
February 22, 2010
by: Gerald Crawford

 
Saskatoon: This week we have a note from Greenwater to catch us up on some of the departures and arrivals and Gerald tells us about the Flea Market and model train show he visited and then mentions a book launch on Porcupine Plain's famous parolympic athlete.
This is embarrassing
Wednesday
February 17, 2010
by: Kevin McIntyre

 
Carrot River: Bad planning, glitches, bad weather and an underlying bad money grubbing attitude seem to be making the Vancouver 2010 Olympics an embarrassment to all Canadians and are giving the country a black eye in the way Canada is being portrayed around the world. The death of the Georgian Luge racer occurred on a dangerous track and the organisers blamed the victim then put up barriers to prevent a reoccurence of the incident. This story includes three excellent references.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
February 16, 2010
by: Gerald Crawford

 
Saskatoon: After skipping the last two weeks Gerald explains his hectic schedule has kept him from getting off his weekly column to us all. So this week's report involves an item by item account of what he has been up to as the winter wears on and on.
Olympics because of the love of sport
Tuesday
February 16, 2010
by: Ken Styan

 
Tisdale: Ken Styan takes the editor of Ensign to task for his negativity toward the Vancouver Olympics pointing out that after all is said and done it really is for the atheletes themselves to make the event a success. Kevin McIntyre gets his two cents worth in and adds a couple of interesting references that are really worth checcking out.
Bah, Olympic humbug
Wednesday
February 10, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: This writer has a distinct lack of enthusiasm for the slipping sliding and rain drenched activities that will be called the Vancouver Olympics. The stories about it are pointless and the games are mostly fixed.
Focus on women's and children's health at G7 just talk
Wednesday
February 10, 2010
by: Beverly Smith

 
Calgary: The Canadian Prime Minister made a big deal of doing something about the health of women and children at the G7 meeting last week but when it comes to talking about the economy or anything else for that matter there are no women involved.
Ella
Monday
February 8, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Regina: Regina is experiencing a serious baby boom with more than thirty new arrivals each and every day. Early Sunday morning our third grand daughter, Ella, was one of them. A small baby of only five and a quarter pounds but a full term infant and a very peaceful one at that. Her mother Dawn and her are expected to leave hospital tomorrow.
Cold clear light
Thursday
February 4, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Low temperatures and clear skies produce startling images for the photographer and viewer alike. It would seem appropriate to apply this simple principle to other realms to get to the core and delve into the real issues that confront us as a people and as citizens of a nation.
Nordricks Norsask Seed Ltd
Wednesday
February 3, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: This company has been a major player in the agricultural industry in Tisdale and during this past year has been making a gradual move from its old elevator facility to a new layout in the former Newform Packaging plant that at one time served as the Tisdale Recorder's printing plant and a honey storage facility before that. The transformation of the facility is documented in this story.
Tisdale Home & Office
Monday
February 1, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: The sign of success is being able to adapt to changing markets and conditions. Shawn Doherty's latest move is from its former location to downtown as it continues to grow and needs more space to show its products and service its customers.
Walrus on the juniper tree
Thursday
January 28, 2010
by: Ken Styan

 
Tisdale: Throughout Saskatchewan strange snow shapes have developed on anything on the leaside of the North wind that brought the heavy snow this past weekend. Cars, pickups, trees and just about anything else can be swallowed up by these formations that take an unusual form of their shaped by the movement of the winds that deposited the snow.
Parkland Photography club January meeting
Wednesday
January 27, 2010
by: Darlene McCullough

 
Tisdale: Bad weather saw six die hard members out for this month's photography club meeting and they had their work cut out for them with several provincial level photography contest collections to judge. The highlight of the club's activities for this month was doing presentations to the various senior citizens homes here in Tisdale.
