Autumn's glory
Tuesday
September 28, 2010

Tisdale: It was a truly spectacular fall this year but fall is a fleeting thing that doesn't last long as today's wind cleared away most of the remaining coloured leaves with only the shrubs still showing lots of colour. Here are some pictures taken this past weekend around Tisdale and at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Prince Albert now has a full medical clinic with two doctors and two nurses on hand when the SuperStore is open. Walk in clinics like this really take the pressure off the hospital's emergency room which in Prince Albert's case is seriously challenged. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

Tuesday
September 14, 2010
by: Timothy W. Shire

 
Tisdale: Wet spring, wet summer and now wet once again as we go into fall. Crops not planted, those crops that were put in the ground grew poorly and many ploughed under now what crops that have been swathed and are awaiting harvest are soaking in the field. When looking for a bright side rice comes to mind but it has been to cold for that to have grown maybe farmers should consider wild rice for next year.

What is so hard to take is that clearly we as a people should be over this sort of thing as we allow our selves to move forward toward a brighter and more enlightened future, but instead we seem doomed to relive the age of the reformation while simply renaming the Spainish inquisition.
