the Greenwater report
Tuesday
February 5, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Los Angeles: As the snow piles grow the scenes that seem familiar are changed as mountains of the stuff seem to blind us from buildings and the surrounding area. Even the structures themselves change as snow hides and masks them as we know them.

the winter landscape
Friday
February 1, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: As the snow piles grow the scenes that seem familiar are changed as mountains of the stuff seem to blind us from buildings and the surrounding area. Even the structures themselves change as snow hides and masks them as we know them.
Changes in Tisdale
Thursday
January 31, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Businesses evolve, some move and some close up. Today we take a brief look at some of the changes that have been coming for a while and now are part of the business scene in our community.
Parkland Photography Club report for January
Tuesday

The Greenwater report
Monday
January 28, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Salt Lake City Utah: Gerald and Doreen are on a bus tour that will take them to California, they did see a storm but the man describes the weather as balmy.
The Greenwater report
Monday
January 21, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Gerald is not happy with Environment Canada's love affair with wind chill numbers and he was less than enthusiastic about a recent visit to the Mendel Art Gallery. To make matters worse he is packing for a bus tour of the US and that always puts him in a bad mood.
January cold snap
Friday
January 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: It has been a mild winter so far this season so the -30º this morning with its stiff north wind felt appallingly cold. But the facts of the matter are clear each day we get just a bit more sunlight as we head toward late winter and in a short while spring once more.
Wind country
Wednesday
January 16, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: After a storm the huge network of rural roads that service farms and their families have to be cleared and maintained. That job goes to the Royal Municipalities and their dedicated grader operators who work against the wind.
Truth challenged Minister
Wednesday
January 16, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria B.C.: I am not certain that we will all sleep better tonight knowing that federal Natural Resources minister Gary Lund is now personally taking charge of nuclear safety in Canada after firing Linda Keen the official who's job it was to protect Canadians from nuclear disasters.
Shawn Cowie, December player of the month
Wednesday
January 16, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Trojans lost three to two last night as the young Regina native, Shawn Cowie was named player of the month for December.
First major storm of the year
Tuesday
January 15, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Though today's storm was expected to track to the south of us it is mid January and it is typical of this time for storms like this to pay a visit. White out conditions with snow and blowing snow. Fortunately the temperature is in the teens and the storm is expected to move through the area quite quickly.
The Green Monster
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Edwin Wallace
Success: Edwin and Daren Wallace have cooked up yet another energy efficiency device in the farm shop. This machine converts paper products, household waste and wood chips into a useable fuel for their shop built furnace.
The Greenwater report (today)
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: This is one with two great fish stories as the heat from coffee row fills the report and will give us all a chuckle.
Saskatchewan labour laws one sided
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Henry Neufeld
Waldeck: The Saskatchewan Government has introduced legislation to make unionisation of a business extremely difficult stacking the deck solidly to favour anti-union corporations who are applauding the legislation.
The Greenwater report (last week's)
Monday
January 14, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Time to catch up on the Crawfords as they celebrated Christmas and New Years in Saskatoon and this report brings the sad tidings of friends departed.
Grain blocks rolling
Friday
January 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: There is a lot of valuable grain in Saskatchewan's terminals and its time to move some of it to market even with continued expected good prices all is not sweetness and light in the marketplace.
