Craven:
Being four and a half is a lot of fun it you hang out with your best friend and visit a market garden where they have face painting and huge piles of pumpkins. This story is in the 64 pictures that Aurora's mom and dad took Sunday afternoon, they are not entirely in order the software used to create this set of pages has a bit of a mind of its own but you will get the idea.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Playgrounds and play areas in our community are almost always empty. There are children and there are extensive facilities but play and experience without parental supervision is rare, that's not likely a good thing. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

California appears poised to
be the first to ban power
guzzling big-screen TVs

Surprisingly TVs account for 10% of the amount of electricity used by households and California regulators want televisions used in the state to be regulated similar to other appliance which have had restrictions since the 70s.

Happenings In Tisdale:

The Greenwater report
Monday
October 19, 2009
by: Gerald Crawford
Carstairs, Alberta:
Snow in Alberta and still crops in the field, it looks like the Crawfords should have put on their winter tires before heading to Alberta. A report on the Kindersley Mall and hail damage in the Carstairs area.
Forester's melting men
Friday
October 16, 2009
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Lots of sticky wet snow made the creation of snowmen almost a required right of an early fall.Though there were a few others standing on Tisdale lawns clearly Forester Crescent was leading in the population per block.
Before the snow
Thursday
October 15, 2009
by: R. W. Shire
Regina:
This past summer was very cool and yet as the summer drew to an end the flower beds around the province really put on a final show for the year. Now with snow on the ground in Regina and killer frost every night we can wish the summer of 2009 farewell with these pleasant images of the gardens in front of the provinces legislative grounds in Regina with Wascana lake in the background.
The Greenwater report
Wednesday
October 14, 2009
by: Gerald crawford
Saskatoon:
Gerald chronicals Saskatoon's first brush with winter and tells us about the Persephone Theatre as well as gets a plug in for the dinner theatre out at Langham. Without winter tires and perhaps their parkas the Crawfords are off to Alberta this week to visit family.
US President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize
Wednesday
October 14, 2009
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock, British Columbia:
The American media has become so high polarised that they can not cope with an honour being bestowed upon their leader without turning the event into an excuse for more name calling and ridicule. Many believe their actions are based on racism. In this article Mr. Marlatt points out what the world knows. Barak Obama has turned around the world and moved his country toward peace. Ending the misilie programme in Poland and his approaches to Muslim countries. Real achievements and a promise of more.
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.
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.
