Tim's Tip of the Day

 

Kevin's find of the day


KOIN Exclusive: D.B. Cooper evidence unearthed
A guy who called himself D.B. Cooper highjacked an airliner in 1971 then jumped from the plane with the ransom and that was the story. Now his parachute may have been found.

Happenings In Tisdale:

The first day of spring
Thursday
March 20, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We had cloud most of the day and there were few things that one could point to that suggested that this was the official first day of spring.
Bins for 2008
Wednesday
March 19, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Each spring the Beeland Co-op puts together its annual collection of new grain bins to meet the demand of the coming season. The process has begun once more as the new crop of metal monsters take shape on the Co-op lot on the west side of town.
Enough already
Tuesday
March 18, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Yesterday's by-election in four federal ridings really did little to clear the air and make way for some resolution to the pitiful performance of the country's loyal opposition who have a leader that has no hope and a prime minister with the least amount of charisma ever seen in anyone in elected political office. Voters its time for some kind of revolt.
The Greenwater report
Monday
March 17, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Saskatoon: Congratulations to Gerald and Doreen on their 55th wedding anniversary. They checked out a trade show and Gerald did a lot of visiting.
Trojans' coach Archibald named SMAAAHL coach of the year
Friday
March 14, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: For the first time in the Tisdale AAA midget's team history their coach has been selected by the league as coach of the year and was presented with a trophy Thursday night in the second game of the semi-final league playoff game with Saaskatoon Blazers.
RESPs & TFSAs: Same effect, why only one attacked?
Friday
March 14, 2008
by: Larry Kazdan
Vancouver: Odd that both tax measures seem to have similar effects that the Minister of Finance has reacted so strongly to only one of these. Both measures are important to middle and higher income families and need to be considered as a means of reducing the tax burden.
Modern Science: climate change in science
Friday
March 14, 2008
by: Eugene Parks
Victoria: When scientists discuss things they publish their work to be commented and tested by their peers. The result is a process of moving toward an understanding of reality that will adapt to new information. This story explains the climate change discussion in that forum and the reference gives you a chance to check on the facts and figures as they are known.
Canadian Forces Technical Capability in Danger
Thursday
March 13, 2008
by: Mike Coleman
Victoria: The selling of Canada's space hardware pioneer to a US weapons manufacturer is a threat to Canada's national security and to future developments by this nation in space technology.
Income splitting "errors and omissions acknowledged"
Wednesday
March 12, 2008
by: Ken Styan
Tisdale: Many folks are scratching their heads over this year's income tax and in particular there are some changes to income apportioning that need to be considered carefully. Ken has some information that you should find helpful.
The rest of us are watching
Wednesday
March 12, 2008
by: Edwin Wallace
Success: Besides Britany Spears the US electronic media have one and only one story and that's the presidential election. Edwin gives us his Canadian thoughts on the process.
Looking forward to spring
Tuesday
March 11, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Chelan: The abundance of snow makes finding food difficult for deer, Wapiti and moose especially as spring nears and the top layers freeze over in an ice cover over the snow.
The 21st century just opened at the farm!
Tuesday
March 11, 2008
by: Edwin Wallace
Success: It has taken a long time but gradually SaskTel is providing high speed internet service to rural customers. So far the service is only in some areas but it is to be hoped that in time there will be coverage for the whole of rural Saskatchewan.
Signs of a spring coming
Monday
March 10, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We have not suffered the abuse that Canadians in Eastern and Central Canada have this winter but it has been a long winter and today the temperature stayed above freezing and there was water running down some streets.
The Greenwater report
Monday
March 10, 2008
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The Crawfords were out to the park this past weekend and we have pictures and a groaner of a hockey story.
Accepting the ordinary
Friday
March 7, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: We Canadians eat way to much salt, especially in prepared foods and we are going to change this habit. How about the political habit of offering bribes and incentives to members or prospective members of parliament, will be get around to changing that as well?
Trojans play-off time
Thursday
March 6, 2008

Thursday

by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: There have been years when we have had more snow in Tisdale but this year the town and contractors have done a good job of controlling the snow build up on streets and along the streets. With the approach of spring, perhaps, its time to start getting it ready to melt and flow.

Wednesday
March 5, 2008
by: Timothy W. Shire

Cypress Hills - Grasslands MP conduct a disgrace
Tuesday
March 4, 2008
