Tim's Tip of the Day

A Saskatoon man lost his wife in a work related accident when she was killed in an accident in a rental. The insurance company refuses to cover the loss because the rental was not a car.

Ensign Notes

.Happenings In Tisdale:

The Greenwater report
Monday
August 27, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
It just seems like a few days ago that summer began and now its over as Gerald brings us up to date on park businesses as they close and open for the season while filling us in on cabin construction and moving.
Have Canadian Forces in Afghanistan been pawns?
Monday
August 27, 2007
by: Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario:
So much for idealism, it looks like the negotiations that actually were on going prior to September 11, 2001 have kept developing the need for a US owned pipeline to be built across Afghanistan from the Caspian Sea to the Pakistan coast. This evidence is very solid much more so than any shaky reasons given so far for Canadians to be fighting and dying in the Panjwayl and Kandahar areas of Pakistan.
Longbeach
Friday
August 24, 2007
by: Michael Townsend
Tofino, B.C.:
This is a magnificient photo essay of the scenes along the west side of Vancouver Island at Longbeach near Tofino. 35 outstanding images that take you to this amazing park of Western Canada.
Provocateurs
Friday
August 24, 2007
by: Casper Davis
Victoria, B.C.:
The nature of a law abiding society is such that it depends upon trust. Trust that those entrusted with protecting the society will do just that and not become agents inciting violence and property damage. That trust has been demonstratably broken with Quebec police pretending to be rioting protestors but were caught by a union leader. Now we have to consider other similar events and wonder what really was happening.
Premature arrival of fall
Thursday
August 23, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
Though school starts next week, the pool closes Sunday and it was a chilly 13ºC today it still seems a bit odd to see the leaves turning colour so soon but alas little bits of colour are showing up in Tisdale's trees.
Jelly beans
Thursday
August 23, 2007
by: William Dascavich
Edmonton:
Has the Prime Minister's assurances been plausible. Who knows with such secrecy the Montebello meeting is subject to any and all speculation. But Mr. Dascavich is certain it wasn't about jelly beans.
Controversy and a visit to Nazareth
Wednesday
August 22, 2007
by: Jennifer Shire
Tel Aviv:
Jennifer's expeditition is nearing its end and in this report she let's us in on controversy over the dig site and shows us some of the highlights of her visit to Tel Aviv, Nazareth and another dig in the Negev Desert.
Yesteryear's Ukrainian Borscht
Tuesday
August 21, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Moose Jaw:
In much of Saskatchewan Borscht is a staple food yet it is simply not available on the shelves of your local food store. Well that has changed as a Moose Jaw company has gone into production and is turning out the real thing.
The Greenwater report
Monday
August 20, 2007
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Lake Provincial Park:
Internet connections and battery life intervened and prevented us from getting last week's report but this week we catch up on the Crawford's excursion West of Prince Albert and the latest developments at the park.
Harvest begins
Thursday
August 16, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale:
For the past few days swathers have been working their way through Canola fields and some straight combining of wheat is underway. Its harvest time in this part of Saskatchewan

August 15, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire

Today's commentary on the news and how it might impact on our daily lives.
Blueberry jam rocks my world!
Tuesday
August 14, 2007
by: Jennifer Shire
Qubur al-Walaydah:
Life at the archaeological dig in the Negev desert of Israel is often less than glamourous as Jennifer fills us in an her daily breakfast menu and the progress of the dig.
Visit to completed sites and the Dead Sea
Sunday
August 12, 2007
by: Jennifer Shire
Dead Sea:
Today's story tells and shows with Jennifer's pictures her trip this weekend to the Arad, Masada and the Dead Sea. We have updated all of the earlier stories with pictures, although we still have more to add. We have also added a prior story about her jet-lag visit to Amsterdam and Tel Aviv.
Skeletons and gunfire
Thursday
August 9, 2007
by: Jennifer Shire
Qubur al-Walaydah:
Two days of sickness and back to digging as they uncover evidence of Egyptian culture and so far, two skeletons. The scientists squable as the data appears and Jennifer says fairwell to the rude German group. All the while only miles away rocket detonations and even gun fire can be heard coming from the strife torn Gaza Strip.
Mentebello conference
Thursday
August 9, 2007
by: William Dascavich
Edmonton:
Beginning on August 20th a major secret conference is taking place in Quebec and is being touted as being important and good for Canada yet it is cloaked in extreme sectrecy and securiity. Mr. Dascavich wants to know what they are hiding and wants the public to know what is going on.
Weekend in Jerusalem
Wednesday
August 8, 2007
by: Jennifer Shire
Jerusalem:

Tuesday
August 7, 2007
by: Timothy W. Shire
images by: Andrew Shire

The rise in the Canadian dollar and the weakening of the U.S. economy make cross border shopping attractive but its not all a story paved with roses.
