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.

Balls
Friday
March 19, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A playground covered with snow balls rolled up by children triggers a memory of that very experience.

0900 Friday - Overcast stratocumulus, Ceiling 2,500, visibility 1, -4º, wind 20 knots at 030º, altimeter 29.51, snow and blowing snow WeatherLog

Tim's Tip of the Day


Don has just installed a new and vastly improved sound system in the Falkon Theatre in Tisdale, just another good reason to go to a movie now and then.

Kevin's find of the day

Portraits of Sacrifice The invasion of Iraq began a year ago today with the objective of making the world a safer place by getting the weapons of mass destruction and changing the government of Iraq to free the people and give them democracy. The San Francisco Chronicle has this page were you can see the "Faces of the Fallen" those who will not return alive from Iraq all 556 American service men and women.

Golden Age Centre stew supper
Thursday
March 18, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Tuesday evening the Golden Age Centre had a fund raising stew supper and usual dished out the very best stew anywhere.

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.

Spanish voters throw out pro-war party
Thursday
March 18, 2004
by : Mark Weisbrot
Washington : The political earthquake in Europe that followed the tragic bombing has seriously shaken the government of the United States.

Electrical
Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Since automobile manufacturers have devoted 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.

Out and about
Tuesday
March 16, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The temperature edged up above freezing today 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.

Shadows
Monday
March 15, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : From a walk on Sunday we have some images of the negative space on the snow and consider the impact of this reality upon us. To give it some confusion we get Britney Spears to help out.

The Greenwater Report
Monday
Marrch 15, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Off on a trip to Arizona with some great pictures to show us some of the highlights of the trip.

Overtime
Friday
March 12, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale ; Yet another winter storm is tromping across Saskatchewan today as it seems that spring is being caught off guard as winter is working overtime.

Prairie Petroleum Services
Thursday
March 11, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Northern Steel Industries continues to develop and with it associated companies needed to service and install the manufactured products of this large corporation.

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 Bush’s crooked and scary world of 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.
