Philip Lindenback, December 29, 1914 to November 14, 2003
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Weekes: One of Saskatchewan's great "letter to the editor" writers will no longer be make further submissions. His insight and wisedom in the past meant a lot to all of us and this man is going to be missed.

The Conservative Party of Canada is on the same course as the Titanic
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Al Gullon
Ottawa: The indications are that the Canadian Alliance members have been buying up Progressive Conservative memberships to control the vote in the merger of the two parties. Al Gullon, who has been deeply involved in his riding of Ottawa South's policy formulation points out that there is a way to control this problem. If it isn't controlled the new party is doomed.

Tim's Tip of the Day

If you own or manage a restaurant, let it be known, you will lose more business by allowing smoking in your premises than you will gain from smoking customers as we non-smokers are now the majority. Went to lunch at the Blue Sky restaurant in Porcupine Plain but left due to the level of smoke in the place.

Kevin's find of the day

SGI receives insurance claim for stolen pot (PDF)
In a Leader Post story today by Jana Pruden a Regina patient who is a medical marijuana user has filed a claim to SGI for medical marijuana stolen from the patient's home. SGI is agreeing to honour the claim.

Ensign Notes

Since this web site began Philip Lindenback has been an inspiration to the many themes that have been pursued and though he only made one or two contributions but our monthly visits lead to a host of story ideas. His funeral was today.


Pocket Ashtray
Tuesday
November 18, 2003
by: Cassandra Loiselle
Winnipeg: At a time when smoking is falling in the population and governments across the country are doing everything they can to discourage people from starting smoking and the need for folks to quit is greater than ever, with all this on the go Winnipeg has chosen this time to introduce a pocket ashtray. What's next, walkmen 45rpm record players?

Tisdale Mall Celebrates nineteenth anniversary
Monday
November 17, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale; Saturday, it was cake and coffee at the Tisdale mall with a craft sale and loads of good spirits.

The Greenwater report
Monday
November 17, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The ice is thickening up on the lake and the deer are hanging around. Gerald has been in at least one town or city a day and photographed a fashion show.

Grey Cup Parade
Monday
November 17, 2003
by: R. W. Shire
Regina: Here are fifteen pictures of Saturday's Grey Cup parade as they made the turn from 12th Ave. onto Albert.

A World of Hypocrisy: Bush's Lies and U.S. Crony Capitalism
Friday
November 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: There is a climate that is arising and even though we share in the pride of the high thoughts of our former and new Prime Minister they come in the light of the sad betrayal of Maher Arar and William Samson. It is this divergence of reality that confounds us and Mario really only hints at the widening gap between what is really happening and what we are being told. The United States has created a mess and is about to make more mess by abandoning the country they destroyed over the lies they have told. Similarly their economy is crumbling while we are told they are recovering. This short story has some powerful references that give the exploring reader a chance to see more clearly what is indeed happening.

Country Gifts and Crafts 2003
Thursday
November 13, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Open at 4:00 today and the sale going on tomorrow and Saturday once again the shopping season begins with this remarkable display of art and craft products.

Small business is big business in small town Saskatchewan
Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: The success of a rural community does not only depend upon the primary industry which for most of Saskatchewan is agriculture, but it depends upon diversification with small business shouldering the responsibility for a pluralistic economy.

Differing Policy Directions
Wednesday
November 12, 2003
by: Brian Marlatt
White Rock B.C.: With Progressive Conservatives actually protesting the merger of the two political parties in Vancouver today we find out in this short but to the point comparison of Progressive Conservative and Canadian Alliance policies which essentially are completely opposite to one another.

Golburn
Tuesday
November 11, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: Once every road allowance, one mile apart East and West and every two miles North and South was actually a road but with the consolidation of farms many roads have once again become fields. While following some roads today we came upon a village that was like these over grown road allowances, a community that once was. This story includes a QuickTime Virtual Reality panorama of the area near the Golburn School and fairgrounds site.

They Served
Monday
November 10, 2003
by: Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale: They went to war some have gone to make peace but one way or another they have placed the needs of the country and the people of this country above their own survival. Some died doing their duty and others have lived on since their conflict but their lives have changed and their service has made a difference for each of us.

The Greenwater report
Monday
November 10, 2003
by: Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park: The lake has froze over and George Renneberg pulled out three jack through the ice but Gerald has survived the disappointments of the election and last night's game.
