Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


A land rush in rural Russia
Massive amounts of land in Russia is simply being left fallow as the collective farms have crumbled and owner operated family farms are not developing. This has prompted entrepeneurs to buy large amounts of Russia land to develop factory corporate farms.

Happenings In Tisdale:

 
 

The Greenwater report
Tuesday
September 2, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford

What should the election be about?
Tuesday
September 2, 2008

Victoria B. C.: Mr. Parks takes the view that the decisions that politicians make are something for which they should be made accountable. In this case he is pointing an accusatory finger at the prime minister.

Tuesday
September 2, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

"on your side" poor choice as slogan for Conservative Party of Canada
Tuesday
September 2, 2008
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls: The Harper government have had serveral slogans and almost all of them have meant the opposite to the actions taken by the government. In this story Mr. Hueglin points out some of the less than credible actions taken by a government supposed to be looking out for the interests of the people of the country.

Wednesday
August 27, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: A new agricultural commodities business is operating in Tisdale. After fifteen years of business in Spalding WCT Inc. has moved to Tisdale where it is buying and selling grain from producers and marketing the product to markets often as close as possible to the producer as possible.
Election? You bet!
Wednesday
August 27, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The Prime Minister has been sounding the warning steadily since the middle of last week that he is going to call an election this fall. The facts of the matter are dead simple, he has identified himself and his country so closely to the United States their politics is now overshadowing all Canadian issues which really are no longer Canadian issues and the writing is on the wall, if you wait until after Obama is elected it is oblivion for Harper and company.
19.7 km of #35 to get new surface
Tuesday
August 26, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Clearly the condition of highway 35 south of Tisdale is well below acceptable and it seems the Department of Highways is going to do something about twenty kilometres of it by adding a new surface. Survey crews were on hand today working south of town and the equipment to do the project is parked at the former Shell bulk plant on the south side of town.
Harvest 2008
Monday
August 25, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Harvest got underway late last week and today everyone is in full "let's get it done" mode. Three combines in this wheat field north of town this afternoon and the canola field across the road all swathed. Meanwhile, the Co-op's yard full of metal grain tanks is completely empty.

Monday
August 25, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Carstairs Alberta: The Crawfords are off visiting relatives in Alberta and this week's report tells us about the crops along the way and how the dogs are doing. But, there is a great picture of a giant blue heron.

Friday
August 22, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

August 15, 2008
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: This past weekend the Abbotsford Åir Show was on, so this is an excellent time to show you some highlights from the July 30th Wings over White Rock show which had been held as a fund raiser for the C.H.I.L.D. Foundation. (Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorder)

Thursday
August 7, 2008
Images by: Dawn Shire
Gravelbourg: This is a large picture essay of Dawn Shire's pictures of this past weekend's haying operation on her parents small farm north of Gravelbourg. This is not state of the art agriculture but the way a family can and often does cope with the needs on an organic small farm in rural Saskatchewan.
Saskatoons - a good year
Wednesday
August 6, 2008
by: Judy Shire
Weekes: An exceptional year for these scrumptious berries that grow naturally all over Saskatchewan. Just like this year's crops the saskatoons in 2008 are outstanding and in their prime right now.
House one in place
Wednesday
August 6, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Van fails to make it home from Winnipeg
Tuesday
August 5, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Glossop Manitoba: Holiday travel is always a matter of chance taking and driving new or twelve year old vehicles seems to make no difference when it comes to mechanical failure. Yesterday afternoon on our way home from Winnipeg the Windstar's transmission departed to that great mechanical wasteland in the sky.
The Greenwater report
Tuesday
August 5, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
