The Energy & Vitality Centre
Wednesday
November 5, 2008

Sunny warm Halloween
Monday
November 3, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

The Greenwater report
Monday
November 3, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords had to endure their move into their new condo with both of them very much under the weather. But they made it with the help of the movers, friends and relatives.
Fortunate for Americans - not so us
Monday
November 3, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria BC: The last eight years have been brutal for the state of democracy in the United States and sadly we are discovering that in Canada very similar patterns are normal and are damaging the fabric of our country.
Tisdale pool goes green
Thursday
October 30, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Wednesday
October 29, 2008
by: Darlene McCullough

GasFrac
Tuesday
October 28, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Tisdale is a significant distance from the conventional oil and gas fields that are strung out across the whole of southern Saskatchewan yet today here is a oil field service unit with a very specialised purpose stopped off in Tisdale on its way to a job site. A reader found a suggestion why this truck was in the area.

August 1.7 billion deficit. What will September record?
Friday
October 24, 2008
by: Michael Watkins
Vancouver: This story suggests that there is more than a little deception involved as we discover today that Canada's economic picture is a little less lusterous than advertised and even more disconcerting is the concept that the Prime Minister wants it this way.
Lucas Embroidery
Thursday
October 23, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A new store opened in Tisdale yesterday. Lucas Embroidery has been a home based business for the past few years but now the business has moved into 1005 - 100th St, downtown Tisdale.
1,000,000 bushels
Wednesday
October 22, 2008
by: Ken Jones
Belle Plaine: You hear numbers like a million bushels on news stories but what's it like to see that much wheat all at one time. Ken Jones dropped by the new Terra Grain Fuels plant at Belle Plaine this past week and we have the amazing pictures he took.
Parking problems
Wednesday
October 22, 2008
by: Kevin McIntyre
Saskatoon: Of the various problems that can confront us it is certain that finding a parking place can sometimes rate up there with just about anything that can rattle one's sense of being in control.
Provincial President visits Tisdale Superannuated Teachers
Tuesday
October 21, 2008
by: Darlene McCullough

October 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Schapansky Auction is having a sale tomorrow, October 21, 2008 with some really interesting items in the sale. This sale has a really large number of late model vehicles for sale but also a large number of vintage tractors and a few remarkable automobiles.
The Greenwater report
Monday
October 20, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Doreen has had a bad cold since their visit to Washington and its moving time as the Crawfords prepare to move into their Townhouse. Gerald reflects on the things about the bus trip that he enjoyed and the remarkable lack of women's washroom facilities in their travels.
Need for income security reforms in Saskatchewan
Thursday
October 16, 2008
by: Judy White
Saskatoon: At one time we Canadians thought that we could end child poverty in this rich country but in decades little or no progress has been made. The Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers is proposing some major changes to the delivery of welfare in this province and spells reforms out in this story.
Harper's call for working together a one night stand
Thursday
October 16, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls ON: This story is suggesting that the Prime Minister's speech after Tuesday night's election was just some words because his real intention is to take the platform released only days before the election and claim he has a mandate to implement those almost secret measures.
On worrying about worrying about the economy and going green
Wednesday
October 15, 2008
by: Murray McEwan
Tisdale: At the heart of America's economic woes is its reliance upon the automobile both for transportation but also as the economic engine at the heart of its economy. In this story we get to consider the errors made by the manufacturing sector and some solid suggestions as to what we can personally do about our environment and economy.
Premature winter in Regina
Wednesday
October 15, 2008

Nation adrift
Wednesday
October 15, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria, BC: Though the majority of Canadians did not want to see the Conservative government get a majority the unpleasant truth is that after a minority government we Canadians get yet another minority government with the support of only 22% of Canadian voters.
The uncertainty of October
Tuesday
October 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The election is unlikely to clear up the uncertainty that faces us all as the economic woes from the United States are going to affect the whole world, probably more so in countries like Canada, Japan and China which depend on exports to the crumbling US market. But there is more than the economy to have doubts about, this is October.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
October 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords are back from the trip through northeastern United States. Today's report gives us a look at Washington and a sense of some of the sights in Kentucky to North Carollna.
The need for perspective
Friday
October 10, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This writer is suffering from financial crisis fatigue. The media experts seem confused and so indeed are the viewers as we know not if this is the beginning, the middle or the end of some very unusal times for the stock market, the banking industry and everyone of us as these things deeply affect our lives.
