Tim's Tip of the Day

The most important thing for all living things to be successful is the ability to adapt. Be like a seagull, if you find yourself far from the sea make the best of it.

Kevin's find of the day


Cars that wrecked Chrysler
Here are a series of articles from CNN that critique those vehicles that Chrysler has been missing the mark with; Chrysler 300C. Caliber, Jeep Commander, Nitro, Sebring and the Ram. Cheap interiors, poor handling and being not as good as competitors.

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • Saturday May 2, 9:30 Tisdale airport "Junior Aviator" free flights
  • Saturday, May 2, 2:00 - 4:00 St. Paul's United Church spring tea & bake sale
  • Sunday, May 3, 2:00 RECPlex auditorium Tisdale Dance Centre presents "One Step Ahead a dance extravaganza"
 
 
House number five
Friday
May 1, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Both house four and five were begun the same day and have moved along at the same pace. This story gives you the chronology of the construction project so far from the digging of the basement to getting the garage up today.

Thursday
April 30, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The Anglican church hall was crowded this morning when the doors were opened for the annual spring rummage sale. It was nearly 5:00 this afternoon before I was able to drop in and get some pictures of this year's spring event. The sale runs for all of Friday and Saturday morning.

Wednesday
April 29, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

House number four
Wednesday
April 29, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A new house is well along in construction located just across the street on the west side of the Beeland Co-op.
Political reality check
Tuesday
April 28, 2009
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria British Columbia: The prime minister is unpopular because he spends much of his time avoiding issues and creating dissent.
PMO paid former Bush aide $24K for advice
Tuesday
April 28, 2009
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, British Columbia: Let's face it the Prime Minister can use all the help he kind find but in this case looking for help from a political regime steeped in possible war crimes and of dubious credibility seems preculiar.
The Greenwater report
Monday
April 27, 2009
by:Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Time for the Crawfords to get new tires on the car and replace the windshield. They had a chance to visit with some Great Grand children and this coming week they are getting the motor home ready to roll.
Automotive breaking and entering
Monday
April 27, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

Downtown building being dismantled
Monday
April 27, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire

Entrepreneurs
Friday
April 24, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Business is booming this weekend with garage and yard sales scattered throughout the community and the Little Candy Shop on a driveway at the north end of Newmarket.

Track and field season
Wednesday
April 22, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Within a month the Track Meets will have been held and the season will be over for another year. It is difficult in Canada to prepare for competition with such a short season.
Neil Young in Concert
Wednesday
April 22, 2009
by:Kevin McIntyre
Saskatoon: Here is a first hand account of last night's Neil Young concert in Saskatoon complete with a conversion with an usher and the marvels of music of a very uncommon man.
Welcomed spring
Tuesday
April 21, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Every spring is a time of anticipation but it seems that the spring of 2009 was special and needed more than other years. Be it the first robin or just warm enough not to require parka and gloves, this one is appreciated.
The Greenwater report
Monday
April 20, 2009
by:Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords ventured forth into some nasty weather and made a visit to Kelvington, Greenwater and Tisdale. So we get an update on rivers, wildlife and the look of the land.
Two buildings in Leacross
Friday
April 17, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Leacross: A little more than twelve miles north of Tisdale is the site of what once was a village. All that remains are two derelict buildings.
April showers in white
Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It began snowing just after midnight and except for a few let ups during the day, has piled the wet foam like snow, on us all day.
Here are eleven pictures of our white April shower.
Stone throwing: Best done after self evaluation
Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario: The Prime Minister is demanding that his party stay clear of former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Prime Minister asserts that his party has a moral compass and the Liberals do not. Looks like we need to think these moral issues over just a little bit more.
Schapansky ready for spring sale
Thursday
April 16, 2009
by:Timothy W. Shire

Tuesday
April 14, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford

Tuesday
April 14, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Through the years it is normal for the spring run off to exceed the capacity of the little Doghide River that flows along the east side of Tisdale. This year it is flowing along peacefully and the water is staying with in the banks of the river.
Canadian Grain Act - Bill C-13; privatisation on the march
Thursday
April 9, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As we discover the reason Canada's banking sector is one of the soundest in the world is because it is not allowed free reign but is carefully controlled. Up to now countries around the world can import grain from Canada knowing it is safe but all that could change because the government wants to do away with all controls on the grain handling industry to benifit the grain companies.
Taking advantage of spring
Wednesday
April 8, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As winter crept along project and developments are delayed as everyone waits for warmer weather and now its time to get at those things that have been waiting to be done.

April 7, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
