It is an imperfect world- Friday
October 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Don't
lose sleep over the American election or the price of gas or any of those other things
that the news people tell us are important. The facts are clear and plain as the
nose on your face, this is an imperfect world and sometimes things, even well planned
things don't work.

October 29, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario
: As deputy prime minister and one of the country's highest ranking cabinet ministers,
Sheila Copps was on the inside and has put what she knows on paper in a new book

Finance web site.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 Sixty years ago the US president was
Calvin Coolidge, a republican vice president who became president when Harding
died in August 1923. He won the election with 54% of the vote and refused to run
in 1928. He was best known for doing nothing. Not only was he a man of few words
but he was a man of little action. He let things take their course and in October
1929 the world entered the "Great Depression". |
|
Kevin's
find of the day
|
 Publisher cancels
reossue of racy novel by Lynne Cheney (AP) Several stories have popped up about the Vice President's wife's
work as a writer and the content of her 1980 novel now out of print but copies are
selling for from $300 to $500. You can read her biography. |

Ensign Notes

| Ink jet printers were invented to simulate the idea of a printer.
There is little or no evidence of their functionality as they absorb money and produce
little but promises. |

 Perceptions- Thursday
October 28, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Though the Saskatoon Police have issued an apology to the mother of the
teenager Neil Stonechild for having "let the family down" the ripple affect
of this incident will be felt far into the future. The doubt, the lack of trust is
not just a rumor it is now a legal opinion and every need be concerned about their
safety if it involves the Saskatoon Police service.

 Dealing
with SaskTel: need of clarity- Thursday
October 28, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
:SaskTel's 2003 annual report goes on page after page dealing with changes to its

October 26, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire

a show. Friday and Saturday Tisdale's craft show and Flea Market that has often been

showing off some both the ordinary and the unique.

 Poppy Coin- Monday
October 25, 2004
by : Rebecca Gingrich
Princeton Ontario
: Almost some copyright infringement, it looks like the Canadian mint has sold out
to an American owned business as it flogs coins while tredding on Canadian sentiment
for November 11. The poppy really belongs to Canada's veterans and is not something
that the mint can fiddle with for profit. (update to this story October 27)

by : Gerald Crawford

 Coffee
in the Mall- Friday
October 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : No
one is crying the blues at the Tisdale Mall since the closing of the west
anchor of the operation. Instead the mall businesses have just pulled out the stops
to make the mall shoping experience even better. Tattered Corners has added
coffee to its sales.

 The
silver time machine- Thursday
October 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale
: The camera in one form or another has been around for more than a century and
a half and during that time the magic of silver crystals have captured the light
and shadows of the past. In those light and shadows we can find significant evidence
of what once was and what life was like when that light was rendered onto paper,
glass or plastic. (The owner of these images, Tisdale Credit Union
is in full agreement with their appearance on this web site.)

- Today's perception of democracy:
 understanding
the economics of whims from the economics of needs
- Tuesday
October 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert
: At the heart of this complex story Mr. deSantis is concerned at the awarding of
the Nobel prize for economics to two rather mundaine professors, one in California
and the other in Arizona. The issue of what is better for the world is really what
this is about and with many outstanding references you have the opportunity in this
story to find out some truths for yourself.

 Trojans tie with Beardy's Blackhawks- Friday
October 8, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : No doubt the team looked a little shell shocked in the first two periods
without their coach to guide them so early in the new season but the third period
was theirs and despite five minutes of overtime the game ended in a three three tie.
