Just maybe there will be a summer- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The
clouds cleared away and its 23ºC what more is there to say. With a teeny weeny
breeze and a sky that speaks of a storm moving away, just maybe, June is busting out all over.

June 1, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Grass
will grow almost anywhere but there are limits as to how much traffic it can take.
At some point you have to make the decision, if its not growing, maybe its time
to replace it.

Tim's Tip of the Day
|
 As a person ages, hips, knees and strength
decline in function and its a good thing to have a useful tool like a walker to enable
mobility. It is a pity that we did not have a similar tool to assist people with
their intellectual activity. People of all ages need a brain-walker to help them
to remember the basis of the society in which we live and the collective principles
that help us interact with one another. We have laws and regulations that help us
define the boundaries of freedom. It is curious to discover how so many want so badly
to make things up as they go along. Urgent need for a brain-walker. |

Kevin's find of the day

 Missing: A Laptop of DEA
Informants From the upcoming Newsweek issue
of June 7, Michael Isikoff relates a strange incident where an auditor lost
or destroyed a laptop containing more than 4,000 pages of sensitive drug and law
enforcement documents. This follows on a warning by the US attorney general to maintain
control over such material and equipment. |

 Elections Canada
Letter Registering PC Party On the Ballot- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario
: From the shambles of the merger between the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive
Conservative Party of Canada there has developed some serious and deep felt feelings.
It was not a merger but a decietful take over and the resulting party does not represent
most of the supporters of either of the parties involved but is really a construct
of the leader of that party. So now another party has emerged to try to represent
the 12% of Canadian voters who are not Liberal, NDP or neoconservatives.

 TUCs
field- Tuesday
June 1, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Once
a school yard and football field in the middle of Tisdale has become the centre of
recreation for senior citizens and it looks like twenty-two couples are going to
make their homes on the site.

 Green
Once More- Monday
May 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Three days of light rain,
though less than an inch total certainly makes a big difference as lawns turn from
winter brown and leaves begin to appear on the trees. Sigh!

May 31, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : This month's club meeting report brings us up to date on the clubs
ongoing achievements and they share with us some outstanding images.

 A
clamp slipped off- Monday
May 31, 2004
by: Timothy W. Shire

line ruptured in the middle of last week and was repaired Friday morning due to the
failure of a clamp design.

 Firewalls- Monday
May 31, 2004
by : Ron Thornton
Edmonton : Deputy
Prime Minister Anne McLellan pointed out the obvious that Conservative leader Stephen
Harper was an avowed Alberta Separatist. Ron Thornton makes the point that indeed
all Harper is advocating what Ontario and Quebec already have and that is their own
brand of self serving separatism and it only seems fair that Alberta be like them.

May 31, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford

crooked trees near Speers.

 Park flower beds
dressed today- Thursday
May 27, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Each year parks and recreation adds beauty to the town's parks by doing
up flower displays. This year's cold had slowed the process but today it was time
to get the flower in place.

 Canadian
National Railroad - Saskatchewan- Thursday
May 27, 2004
by : R. W. Shire
Regina : It has been in less than twenty years that Saskatchewan's railroad system
was destroyed. It is important to understand that railroads are under the juridiction
of the Federal department of transportation and their destruction and abandonment
was essentially a transfer of expense to the province as trucks run on highways which
are a provincial responsibility.

 The
real axis of evil: President Bush and privatisation- Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The
Iraq expedition is definitely losing its popularity with the American public but
it must viewed in the context of other world events and when seen as part of the
whole there is a realisataion that the world is a dangerous place as a result of
American policies.

 SaskTel
and the overseas dialer- Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by: Kevin McIntyre
Carrot River
: If you are using Windows and dial-up to connect to the Internet watch
out for some sneaky pop-up menus that might appear while you surfing the web one
wrong click and a nasty programme will reset your connection number from the one
you have to an obscure island of the West coast of Africa.

 Change- Tuesday
May 25, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : This is a simple concept but one that needs to be thoroughly examined.
Just like people who want to purchase an electric drill really don't want a drill,
but want holes. So it is that once we get a handle on what the world is about we
are in a better position to make changes.
