Sneak Attack : Heavy snow warning turns into late
winter blizzard- Friday
March 19, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Environment Canada spotted the weather disturbance
making its way across the prairies and warned of heavy snow in the North and the
northern grain belt with storm warnings for the southern grain belt but as these
things sometimes develop they take on a life of their own and this one became a full
blown blizzard with ice, snow and blowing snow. Time to park.

 Sounds like Canada C' est comme Canada- Thursday
March 18, 2004
by : Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C. : Far more than most of us imagine,
Canada has a rich and complex heritage with both language and culture combined to
create a place that is much more than what we might define in a political speech.

so much of the control of modern vehicles to computer controlled curcuits making
a minor accessory addition is sometimes a rather complex process. This story includes
a 580K QuickTime VR.

 The Queen's Right
to Rule- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Philip Benwell
Sydney, NSW, Australia : Though we have had a little flap over the Governor Generals
expenses Canadians in general accept the idea of a monarchy. This is not a settled
matter in Australia as a British historian's book has called to question the rightful
heirs to the throne since 1485. Of course the book in typical English nit picking
tradition is baloney since Richard III had gained the throne for his four years of
kingship by murder in the midst of a civil war that he lost wishing he had a horse
(Shakespeare had him saying: "a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.")
The history is interesting but not significant. However, in Australia this is a matter
of serious discussion. Be sure to look over the references because the who's who
of it all is a bit complex.

March 16, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

and there were puddles and wet streets everywhere. But it also brought people out,
the main street was jammed with people and vehicles this afternoon and you can see
what it was like in this set of pictures.

 Breaking horses
to harness- Tuesday
March 16, 2004
Mistatim : It is so fitting to have a short story from
Mistatim about horsemanship. The town's name is the Cree word for "big dog"
the name the Cree gave horses.

 Robert McAdam
1915 - 2004- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : At eight-nine we all know that living this
long is a remarkable achievement and this man, former Anglican priest here in Tisdale
has been an important part of this community since arriving here in 1968. This story
was originally done following an interview with Rev. McAdam in April of 2002. When
he read the piece over he was uncomfortable with the way I had reported some of his
remarks particularly those that related to the Catholic church so I removed the article
from Ensign at the time but the story reflected our discussion that
Tuesday morning two years ago and I think sheds a lot of light on the active mind
and conscientious spirit of this fine man.

the Free Market: Haiti, Iraq… and more terrorism- Thursday
March 11, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator John
Kerry was overheard muttering that Bush and his associates were crooked and scary.
Mario deSantis points out that this has become an increasingly more crooked and more
scary world each passing day with polarised ideologies even more dangerous than the
days of the Cold War.
