Tim's Tip of the Day

There is no basis in past experience or in history that indicates that things always get better. We have that saying that "things always get better before they get worse." Pure myth situations and conditions of all kind are not governed by a positive and negative sign but are occurances that affect the human condition. Without active and cooperative efforts things will not improve but as we have seen in the United States can revert quickly to conditions not seen since the 1920s.

Kevin's find of the day

Amish man not allowed to return to US (PDF) this Associated Press seen in the Guardian by Charles Sheehan deals with a man who came back to Canada to see his sick father but can not return to his wife and family in Penn because as an Amish he does not have photo ID. The 1997 movie For Richer or Poorer with Tim Allen took a light hearted look at the remarkable culture of the Amish.

Ensign Notes

This web site did not post Saturday or Sunday.

.Happening In Tisdale:

Wednesday


9:00AM Annual meeting of the Tisdale Farmers Market athe Tisdale Rural Service Centre


The steady George Bush is no match for the reflective John Kerry
Monday
March 8, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The American presidential election is now in full campaign mode and already the two leaders are decidely different in their approach to things. Kerry thinks about things Bush deals with all things in his standard Texas way, brash, bold and boisterous.

Telemiracle Lunch at Beeland Co-op
Friday
March 5, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This is one of many community events planned by the Kinsmen and Kinette clubs of Tisdale in an effort to raise money for this year's Telemiracle. The first had been on Tuesday with a bingo and tomorrow moring its a breakfast at the RECPlex.

The questionable use of 9/11 images in Bush’s TV ads: Was 9/11 luck or Bush’s No Fault Government?
Friday
March 5, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Though many question the appropriate use of images from the 9/11 tragedy it is far more disconcerting to take into account the actions of the US government that may or may not have been linked to the event. The commission looking into the event is not getting much administrative cooperation and there may be a good reason for that.

Raving about Sex
Thursday
March 4, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Using the practical and successful approach to life that our intelligent neighbours the Ravens demonstrate, this is a discussion about sex education, pro-life and nose in other people's business that seems to revolve around every discussion about sex and sexuality. Keep in mind that Ravens live a little more than one third the length of our lives and they too have to deal with same sex marriage, pre-marital sex and adolescence. When you go to this story you can listen to it by clicking on the QuickTime arrow beneath the picture at the top of the page.

The roots of economic and social divisions:Anti social banking practices and privatisation
Thursday
March 4, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : While in the short term there is economic ruin with more problems expected in the spring but there now is hope. Senator John Kerry will be the Democratic candidate to face Bush in November and it may be harder this time for him to fix the election.

Bus time at the Elementary School
Wednesday
March 3, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Though the recent build up of snow has made the problem more apparent, the route and movement of buses to and from the Elementary school continues to be a sore spot with both the neighbourhood and everyone trying to use the streets both in the morning and at hometime each day.

Learning for a lifetime
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This afternoon a TMSS class took advantage of perfect snow conditions, moderate temperatures and the desire to accomplish a skill that they will be able to do all of their lives. With the Doghide trail just across the street the conditions were ideal.

Big Dig - Open Pit Mine in Regina
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Ken Jones
Regina : Only two weeks left in the huge deepening of Wascana Lake in the middle of Regina.

Web difficult to unravel
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : The sponsorship programme began more than a decade ago and the trail on some of the culprits is pretty cold. It is going to be interesting to see how much blame will be heeped on Mr. Gagliano.

Regime Change in Haiti: A Coup By Any Other Name
Tuesday
March 2, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington : So much for all that rhetoric about the United States being a freedom loving democracy supporting country. The United States backed the murderous dictators of the past and with the CIA supported terrorism in Haiti to destabilise the government and finally on Sunday they outright forced the democratically elected leader out of office.

Looks like a lamb to me
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since February 7 it is just another day of overcast skies. Today there was a little snow this morning to break up the monotony of the dull sky but the temperature stayed above -5º all day, that pretty much means that March has once again come in like a lamb.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Time for a trip over to Manitoba for some hockey and visiting. Our sympathy at the loss of a hard drive.

Little promise in the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilisation Programme
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : George Hickie
Waldron : It is ironic that Agriculture Canada put a rainbow on their page explaining a programme that is pure myth. There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and for Saskatchewan agriculture there isn't even a pot to . . . Things are grim and the nature of federal politics suggests that myths are all that remain.

Congratulations
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Cassandra Shire
Winnipeg : Entertainer Rosie O'Donelle learned the hard way about the down side of not being married when she was involved in a nasty lawsuit with her magazine publisher. Her spouse for many years was forced to give testamony since she was not married to Rosie.

Crash report
Monday
March 1, 2004
by : Timoty W. Shire
Tisdale : Bad things are when you have regrettable consequences, good things are when you screw up and avoid regrettable consequences.

Motorised sliding
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : For the past week we have had warm temperatures, low ceilings and sometimes fog. On Wednesday I spotted these young people enjoying themselves in the old primary school playground then two adults doing the same leaving town.

The Orwellian state of Newspeak’s Doubleplusgood:The intersection of the privatised Rule of Law and Terrorism
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The black art of deception takes many forms and it seems that trimming and crafting the terms used to describe things and events has taken the lead in this never ending struggle to keep ahead of the truth. No part of a society is left unaffected when the words are the weapons.

Viva Valdy Live at Last and other stuff
Sunday
February 29, 2004
by : Donna Bromm
Tisdale : Friday night Valdy and Gary Fjellgaard performed for an appreciative audience here is what the concert was like.
