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.

Tim's Tip of the Day

In many ways the Model T shaped the nature of North America and might be blamed for the successes and failures that we see in the world today. (Click on thumb nail to see full size.)

Find of the day

How a cabbie's dashboard
sparked a court battle

A 65-year old Montreal taxi driver is in trouble and facing a series of fines for having specific stuff on the dash of his cab even though his customers do not complain but the man is in court over the issue.

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.

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.

Monday
September 21, 2009

Bringing it in
Thursday
September 10, 2009
by: Judy and Timothy Shire
Tisdale:
This year's harvest is staggering along. There is a wide spread in the time various fields were planted and it is a test of considerable magnitude for farmers to get it off in a timely fashion. Most years the crops are sequential from one variety to another as they mature, but this year we see wheat, barley and canola all being harvested as they come ready.

September 9, 2009

by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls Ontario:

Mr. Hueglin brings forth a warning about the rush by government to appear to be doing something about what is potentially a very dangerous influenza epidemic. But it is your responsibility to keep yourself informed and measure the actions being taken.
