Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day

.
Council votes to scrap store hours bylaw

Saskatoon retail workers are not happy with the city's decision to deregulate store hours making the market place a free for all and several retails intend to go all night.

Ensign Notes

Happenings In Tisdale:

  • Trojans vs Beardy's 8:00 November 8

House nineteen
Thursday
November 8, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Although four completed basements sit awaiting the erection of houses over them or in one case the moving of a new house onto the basement, today the 19th new basement of the year was dug on NewMarket tucked in beside one of the basements awaiting a house and a house now about two years old.
The Greenwater report
Monday
November 5, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park: This report fills us in on the details of the move to Saskatoon and new neighbourhood Gerald and Doreen are going to have to adjust to. In the mean time there is snow at the park and the coffee buddies are going to have to do some adjusting of their own.
So this is Leopard
Monday
November 5, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The new Mac operating system has been installed and today's Ensign is being assembled using the most modern computer operating system available. It has not all been smiles and chuckles but the learning curve is shallow.
Official opening of Tisdale's new water treatment plant
Friday
November 2, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This huge $3,000,000 project has been a while in planning but it is up and running and can easily expand to meet the growing demands of the community.
Parkland Photography club October newsletter
Thursday
November 1, 2007
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale: With the Crawfords gone to Saskatoon we are witnessing a changing of the guard as Darlene McCullough takes over the duty of putting together a report of the October meeting for the dynamic and ever creative Parkland Photography club.
There is such a thing as Disaster Capitalism Mr. Corcoran!
Thursday
November 1, 2007
by: Mario deSantis
Prince Albert: Toronto journalist and author Naomi Klein set out a fascinating premise that modern government policies are being controlled by the most recent disaster or world event but this view is not shared by the business editor of the National Post. Mr. deSantis weighs in on this argument and points out that Klein has it right.
Ray Strachan's Crooked River
Monday
October 29, 2007
by: Ray Strachan
Grimshaw, Alberta: The October 4 picture essay of Crooked River triggered memories and nostalga for the once booming community and we received e-mails from Mary Weston in B.C. and Ray Strachan in Grimshaw. Ray followed up with stories about the community and his life there and then sent some remarkable images of the time. Some of them, negatives which he had never seen.
The Greenwater report
Monday
October 29, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park: Its a done deal the Crawfords are city folks now as this past weekend it was moving day but we still have some weather, lawn mowing, mosse hunting, cabin construction and park undertakings to keep us up to date on things. The community supper to recognise the Crawfords is set for November 17 in Greenwater Hall, its a pot luck.
There's an edge on that wind today
Friday
October 26, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Doug Weiser tapped me on the shoulder this afternoon and said quietly, "its going to snow tonight." Most years we would have had some white stuff by now but this year it has not happened yet but we all know about inevitability.
House eighteen
Thursday
October 25, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This one is almost ready to receive an RTM. But the building boom just keeps on as Tisdale contractors try to keep the complex process moving despite the volume of new houses currently underway in various stages of completion.
Fred Bradshaw - Saskatchewan Party candidate for Carrot River Valley
Wednesday
October 24, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This is a short video clip of Mr. Bradshaw shown on this site in QuickTime. ( a recent version of QuickTime is necessary to play is short video) (there was a problem with a microphone switch which prevented the use of a second fuller take)
Only four so far this year
Wednesday
October 24, 2007
by: Merv Vey
Tisdale: In a story last week it was stated that there are a lot of water breaks each year. The Town Administrator, Merv Vey, points out that of those many holes in our streets and boulivards, only four were actual water breaks and, he goes on to explain that paving is not something done each year.
Common Grackle
Wednesday
October 24, 2007
by: Helen Carson
Crooked River: The big black bird called the grackle is often a regular feature of the landscape in many parts of Canada but very rare on the edge of the boreal forest.
Finishing up
Wednesday
October 24, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Those last few fields were being cleaned up this afternoon with combines while other fall work is in full swing. Banding and field draining.
Leigh Spencer - NDP candidate for Carrot River Valley
Tuesday
October 23, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This is a three minute streaming video clip of NDP candidate Leigh Spencer giving us his explanation of what he stands for in this election. (The video is flash media and requires no media player to be viewed.)
More than a week into the campaign and nothing about farming!
Monday
October 22, 2007
by: Henry Neufeld
Waldeck: Though agriculture is the primary things about Saskatchewan you sure wouldn't know that by checking in on the campaigns of all three political parties.
The Greenwater report
Monday
October 22, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park: Street paving, good fishing and the Cove is open for coffee. Gerald is in heaven and he knows it.
