Keeping Christmas
Thursday
November 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Here are a couple of the many yards and houses in Tisdale that have already decked their halls as it were with their version of Christmas cheer. Confusing to an old guy who likes to decorate the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, the same day he does his Christmas shopping.

Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


Somalia 'to become pirate magnet'
The recent hijacking of a Saudi supertanker took place 450 miles off the ocast of Somali. Despite NATO and other warships patrolling the gulf of Aden the pirates seem to operate with few problems and in Somali call themselves 'coast guard.'

Happenings In Tisdale:

 
 

Nothing new about new parliament
Wednesday
November 19, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: In Ottawa today the Governor General read the speech from the throne (link to speech). The NDP and Bloc say they will not support it and the Liberals say it is so unimportant that they will not oppose it. Didn't we just have an election about "doing something" and yet here we are with the same old situation.
Old bridge removed
Tuesday
November 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The bridge just on the outskirts of Tisdale's east side has been removed as the contractor escavates the site getting it ready to install a completely new structure.
Making way for Super8
Tuesday
November 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The neat little brick building that has housed several businesses over the years was flattened today to make the site available for contruction to begin on the new Super8 motel that will one day sit between Robin's Donuts and the Beeland Co-op Cardlock.
Ultimate ATV - Polaris Ranger on tracks
Monday
November 17, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As I was about to savour my 7-11 coffee this afternoon this rig pulled up to the pumps. Behind an SUV was a large trailer with a Polaris Ranger on board on this side by side ATV has a closed in cabin and in place of wheels a set of tracks and a nice new snow blade out on the front.
The Greenwater report
Monday
November 17, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: The Crawfords took in a dinner theatre out at Langham and Gerald is certain that winter is here, certain enough to install new winte tires on the Taurus. This week's report reveals the oddity of daylight saving time.
Obamanisation, to make a more perfect union and yes we canism
Friday
November 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Like so many I was riveted by the television spectacle of the American presidential election. I was moved to see Jesse Jackson with tears streaming down his cheeks and listen to the president-elect declare that Americans must work together to bring about a more perfect union then chant "yes we can." God bless Americans and their enthusiasm to become civilised but the reality is that the United States his hardly a model of democracy and trails far behind almost every other developed country in the way it serves its people.
Of gloves and snow shovels, winter's here
Thursday
November 13, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This morning the van was covered with frozen snow and I was forced to put on my gloves for the first time, knowing full well that each time I emerge from the house I will wear them until March or April brings some signs of spring. Less industrious than many of my neighbours I still haven't position the snow shovel near the door but this is yet another thing I will have to do. You see, no matter how much denial I indulge in winter is definitely here.
Tisdale Lube Service switches from Shell to Domo
Wednesday
November 12, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: This downtown service station has long been the main Shell dealer but times change and so do the deals so this business moved from Shell over to DOMO today. The first Tisdale gas sales location with an electronic sign.
Bridge on #3 east to be rebuilt
Wednesday
November 12, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Work began a week ago on building a detour for replacement of the bridge over the Doghide on the east side of Tisdale.
Of hopes and good intentions
Tuesday
November 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It is the duty of soldiers to die and be maimed in wars. It is the duty of we who survived to remember their dedication and committment to sacrifice. For the third time in my lifetime we as a people are at war.
Trojans tie and lose one this past weekend
Monday
November 10, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Arborfield's Spencer Lindsay garnered the most star points in home games in October and was presented with the award on Sunday. The team went on to lose 2 - 1 after the tie on Saturday night.
The Greenwater report
Monday
November 10, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Gerald and Doreen are over their colds and out meeting people as they encounter folks from their community at every turn. Gerald tells us a good story about a lady and her dog. He is happy to see the end of political ads but is still ticked off with Trudeau over the metric system.
What is missing in this picture?
Monday
November 10, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It is good to recycle paper products the fibres from wood can be used over and over drastically reducing the amount of forest that has to be mowed down to product newsprint, diapers and phone books.
Trojans 10 and 6 early in season
Thursday
November 6, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Wednesday
November 5, 2008

Wednesday
November 5, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A new business offerring a variety of therapies has opened in the Tisdale Mall this past weekend.
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

October 29, 2008

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.
Jammeez

October 27, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Friday
October 24, 2008
by: Kevin McIntyre

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.
