Tim's Tip of the Day

Though many talk of golf as a sport, a game, a type of recreation, it may well be quite a bit more than all of those combined, as it may just be a "way of life." This activity requires enormous practice to achieve even modest success, costs a great deal individually and to a society, for land use, and seems to reflect the social, economic and political realities of the society in which it is found.

Kevin's find of the day

Moore smuggled film crews into Iraq (PDF) This British "BigNews" story tells a little tid bit about Michael Moore's new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" that explains how he had three film crews sneak into Iraq to get first hand interviews with disaffected American soldiers.

Tisdale Calendar
of Events


Reform to betray Harper's "no hard feelings"
Monday
May 17, 2004
by : Rob Shanahan
Hamilton, Ontario : The inner core of Stephen Harper's Conservative party is the party's ultimate downfall. Harper's advisors, his co-conspirator, Peter McKay and the old time reformers are what they are and it isn't pretty.

Peter MacKay met by angry protesters in Mississauga
Monday
May 17, 2004
by:
Bernd Mueller
Toronto : Canada's federal elections are won and lost in southern Ontario. This first hand account of a nomination meeting in Mississauga tells us that things do not look rosy for the conservative party.

An Accident of nature
Monday
May 17, 2004
by : Helen Carson
Crooked River : If it looks like a finch and has a bill like a finch maybe it's a finch but how come it colourless? A remarkable sighting Helen Carson shares with you.

Garage saling
Friday
May 14, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : This week there are sales all over town and we visit some of them and bring you some of the atmosphere.

GPS surveying
Friday
May 14, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : New technology often becomes standard operating methods simply because all of what it replaces can no longer compete with the accuracy and speed of the invention. In this case a system for guiding Intercontinetal Balistic Missiles works just as well directing a sprayer in a field or discovering where the corner is of a town lot.

Acklands Grainger: Trade Show & Demonstration Day
Friday
May 14, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Monday's event showed off the outstanding technical and safety equipment that is available from this remarkable local supplier.

New Condo Construction well underway
Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : A project like this one seems to evolve rather quickly especially at its beginning stages. This story has pictures of the piles being dug and poured, the services being dug in and the exterior foundation forms being erected.

Bush’s God cannot win the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people
Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This article is a summary of a series of articles and material that paints a very unfavourable picture of our American neighbours. The Iraqi prison torture story is disturbing, but even more disturbing is the death of an American in Iraq, which has the timing, that suggests this was a sacrifice rather than execution, as it provides Americans with justification for their war crimes.

RCMP open house and barbeque
Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Over three hundred people made it over to the Tisdale detachment today to enjoy lunch and a visit with the folks at the detachment. There was sunshine smiles and an enjoyable time was had by all.

Mission: Being close counts
Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : With the Golden Age Centre complete the energy and development moves outside with plans this summer to increase the parking area on the west side of the building and get some recreational projects going on the grounds. This is the first one.

Who runs Iraq?
Thursday
May 13, 2004
by : Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River : Things don't add up, the torture of prisoners in Iraq, the attempted cover up of that ongoing activity, the murder of civilian Nicholas Berg and America's contempt for the Geneva Convention as demonstrated in their holding of more than 400 people at a Cuban military concentration camp.

Ornaments for the yard
Wednesday
May 12, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale & Regina : It is part of being human. We decorate, house, our clothes, yards and even our bodies. This story takes a look at some of the things people make or buy to put in their yards.

"your...document"
Wednesday
May 12, 2004
by : John Smith
Last week a journey of sorts was begun as Mr. Smith set out to catch and cure the bad stuff the rattles around the Internet. Well his first catch was a worm, ugly and nasty but not fatal.

May snow storm sweeps southern prairies
Tuesday
May 11, 2004
by : Timothy Shire II
Winnipeg : The snow missed Regina this morning but caused major electrical power disruptions across southern Saskatchewan but it also turned Winnipeg back into winter. This story includes a 453KB QuickTime VR panorama of Waterloo Street in Winnipeg.

The Greenwater Report
Tuesday
May 11, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The ice is gone but it is still a prolonged cold spring with little growth. Gerald and Doreen were into Saskatoon and he has a fabulous truck picture.

May snow storm continues throughout day
Tuesday
May 11, 2004
by : Timothy Shire II
Winnipeg : Today we have the unique opportunity to show you a snow storm in the morning and the same storm as it looked late afternoon in Winnipeg. Like the first story this one also has a QuickTime VR done at the same location.

HomeComing 2005
Friday
May 7, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : When it comes to planning a vacation that involves not just the whole family but the whole community one has to think ahead. The Centennial Homecoming committee have the basic concept laid out for July 29 to August 1 and here are some details.
