 Once there were elevators every seven miles on every rail
line in Saskatchewan. Only a few remain. One of our readers is looking for pictures
of the five elevators that once stood in Bankend Saskatchewan.
If you can help get in touch with me. |

 A demented mentality
and changing the Saskatoon Police Service: Cheers for social activist
Sheila Steele and police chief Russel Sabo- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The use of the term "demented" is
not to slur mental health issues but rather to describe a way of thinking that would
not be considered sane. It is very important to realise that the courts define sanity
as having an understanding of the rightness or wrongness of an act. It appears that
many decisions are made today as though there were no right or wrong and certainly
no awareness of those conditions.

March 23, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : A little more snow, a storm

 An Underwelling mandate- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls : With only a fraction of the members
bothering to vote in the Conservative Party's leadership convention one would truly
wonder about the credibility of the new leader or for the party for that matter.

 Extreme Enough
To Become Our Next Prime Minister?- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : The Liberal campaign will clearly identify
Stephen Harper for the self identified Alberta separatist that he is but perhaps
one should consider that when you consider the same kind of political attitude Mr.
Harper has is identified as wrong for him while Ontario, Quebec and maritimes take
the same position for themselves.

 One year after
Bush’s war in Iraq: The building of the ominous ideology "you're
with us or against us"- Tuesday
March 23, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The US president and his team are attempting
to debunk the highly critical allegations made against the administration by a senior
retired official, Richard Clark, who will testify Wednesday in the 9/11 hearings.
That war and the president's command of credibility have become a matter of ridicule
and humour.

 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.

March 19, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire

 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.

 Electrical- Wednesday
March 17, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

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.
