Baffoon quality public discourse
Friday
October 9, 2009
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria, British Columbia:
Canada's present government seems fully bent upon serving itself and some of its supporters while the rest of Canada and especially minority Canadians are left to fend for themselves. What we have is a callous indifference to life.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Though we all need to put the brakes on time as our lives hurl forward the relentless pursuit of one moment after another is overwhelming at times but it is our responsibility to be aware enough to sense that things are changing and adapt.(Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

Obama Peace Prize Award
Elicits Praise, Criticism

In a surprising announcement the U.S. President Barab Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Though he has been in power only since February he has turned around the direction of his country and hence the world as it considers world relations

Happenings In Tisdale:

Thanksgiving a year after the collapse of the economic system
Thursday
October 8, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
By the way, its okay just to look at the fall pictures. Today's story deals with the things we can be thankful for as this recession moves along. Some see it easing while so many people are unemployed it is going to be a while but the consequences of what the business and governments have done will last for decades and perhaps longer.
 
Raising the roof
Wednesday
October 7, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
A house west of the Beeland Co-op and Madison condominium is undergoing some major renovations and today that involved lifting a fully finish roof unto the pole system that will serve to provide a covered deck and extention to the house.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
October 6, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Rosthern:
Perhaps the last weekend motor home trip of the year for Gerald and Doreen. There is no question that this way of spending the summer is perfect for the Crawfords as it allows them to get out and see things, visit with pictures and share their adventures with us all.
Heritage Road
Tueday
October 6, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Though three streets have or are in the process of being paved, Tisdale's streets are still in very poor condition and certainly the worst is Heritage Road which at times is just to rough for most cars and vans.
St. Matthew's fall rummage sale
Thursday
October 1, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
The annual Anglican church fall rummage sale began this morning and goes for Friday and Saturday morning with an outstanding variety of clothing, toys, kitchen appliances and just about everything else you can think of including vegetables.
Signs of hunting season
Wednesday
September 30, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Late this afternoon there were a number of trucks loaded with or pulling trailers with ATVs aboard and that is a sure sign that its time for the moose to take cover and farmers ought to issue flak jackets to their cows and any horses worth protecting.
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 28, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
The Crawfords were in heaven last weekend as they spent it at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park. Had meals at the Cove and golf course and coffee at the Cove and lunch in Perigord. You can tell it recharged their batteries as they soaked in the fall colours, the coffee row banter and the Rider football game.
It was a really short summer
Monday
September 28, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
With frost last night and perhaps tonight as well we are definitely long past summer and for many Saskatchewan farms still thousands of acres to go before this year's harvest is over. The signs of a cold summer are not only in the fields but everywhere you look. In the future forestry people will look at the small growth rings and point out that that was the summer of 2009.
Tisdale Elementary goes on march
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
The whole school took to the streets in their annual walk. It was really a sight to behold with the entire street filled with happy smiling children. The staff and a good number of parent made the journey with the students and the brilliant sunshine and 22ºC temperatures made it the perfect weather for the outing.
Building 16 from Rose Valley
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Moving a building is only the start of this project as a new roof will be added and all the finishing touches to make this fourplex a pleasant dwelling that fits into the neighbourhood.
Lutheran fall rummage sale
Friday
September 25, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Amazing fall weather for this year's Lutheran fall rummage sale. The sale began Thursday and continues until noon on Saturday.
Parkland Photography Club
Wednesday
September 23, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale:
After taking the summer off the Parkland Photography Club is back in action with a meeting this week. They had a chance to share some of their summer picture taking and judge this month's theme shoot on bridges. A stunning contest winner is also included in the report on this month's meeting.
Building number sixteen moves in
Wednesday
September 23, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
This project got underway on August 25th when a large basement was put in the northeast corner of the old primary school playground. Today two buildings were moved into town that will be mated together to form this combination structure.
Pleasantdale eleven years later
Tuesday
September 22, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Pleasantdale:
The first story in Ensign about Pleasantdale was in June of 1998. It was time to revisit this pastural community and see it as it is now. So we have nine pictures of the community and though things have changed much remains the same.
Kipabiskau Regional Park
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Ensign was shut down this past week as we rebuilt and refurbished the office but today we visited one of Saskatchewan's most elegant regional parks. In many ways Kipabiskau rivals many of Saskatchewan's provincial parks with its upkeep and outstanding layout. Though we are getting into fall, Kipabiskau is still in summer. A remarkable cottage owner's paradise.
The Greenwater report
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Watrous:
We catch up on our motor home vagabonds as they spent a weekend and a little more at Manitou Regional Park at Watrous. Gerald obviously avoided the mineral brinny water the place is famous for as he didn't mention it once but we know he had a great time with their Sunseeker buddies.
Tisdale makes some paved streets
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Two major thoroughfares are being completely rebuilt as damage to these streets was so extensive resurfacing was not an option. The weather has not hampered the progress as the work is marching right along.
Tisdale and area Superannuates; September outing - Hidden Meadows
Monday
September 21, 2009
by: Darlene McCullough
Tisdale:
The Tisdale chapter of superannuated teachers is one of the largest (non-city) groups in the province and meets once each month. This month it was a lunch meeting at Kipabiskau's Hidden Meadows golf club house and here is the report of that meeting.
