It is an imperfect world
Friday
October 29, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Don't lose sleep over the American election or the price of gas or any of those other things that the news people tell us are important. The facts are clear and plain as the nose on your face, this is an imperfect world and sometimes things, even well planned things don't work.

Seniors Benefit proposal adds credibility to Copps' contention
Friday

by : Joe Hueglin
Niagara Falls, Ontario : As deputy prime minister and one of the country's highest ranking cabinet ministers, Sheila Copps was on the inside and has put what she knows on paper in a new book Worth Fighting For. Joe discovers that there is a lot of proof that supports what she says some of it right on the federal government's Department of Finance web site.

Tim's Tip of the Day

Sixty years ago the US president was Calvin Coolidge, a republican vice president who became president when Harding died in August 1923. He won the election with 54% of the vote and refused to run in 1928. He was best known for doing nothing. Not only was he a man of few words but he was a man of little action. He let things take their course and in October 1929 the world entered the "Great Depression".

Kevin's find of the day

Publisher cancels reossue of racy novel by Lynne Cheney (AP) Several stories have popped up about the Vice President's wife's work as a writer and the content of her 1980 novel now out of print but copies are selling for from $300 to $500. You can read her biography.

Ensign Notes

Ink jet printers were invented to simulate the idea of a printer. There is little or no evidence of their functionality as they absorb money and produce little but promises.

Parkland Photography Club October Newsletter
Thursday
October 28, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : The photo club had their meeting and this is the report with three great pictures of bumble bees.
Perceptions
Thursday
October 28, 2004
by : Edwin Wallace
Success : Though the Saskatoon Police have issued an apology to the mother of the teenager Neil Stonechild for having "let the family down" the ripple affect of this incident will be felt far into the future. The doubt, the lack of trust is not just a rumor it is now a legal opinion and every need be concerned about their safety if it involves the Saskatoon Police service.
Dealing with SaskTel: need of clarity
Thursday
October 28, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert :SaskTel's 2003 annual report goes on page after page dealing with changes to its accounting procedures and as customers we can see and notice the changes as charges and the way they are applied seem to alter from bill to bill.
Flea Market brings out the talented and the clever
Tuesday
October 26, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : Quite a show. Friday and Saturday Tisdale's craft show and Flea Market that has often been in the Tisdale Mall was held this year in the RECPLex auditorium with sixty tables showing off some both the ordinary and the unique.
Poppy Coin
Monday
October 25, 2004
by : Rebecca Gingrich
Princeton Ontario : Almost some copyright infringement, it looks like the Canadian mint has sold out to an American owned business as it flogs coins while tredding on Canadian sentiment for November 11. The poppy really belongs to Canada's veterans and is not something that the mint can fiddle with for profit. (update to this story October 27)
The Greenwater Report
Monday
October 25, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Snow and cold, but its time to be tough and go traveling, to Kelvington, Saskatoon, Porcupine and take in an event or two.
Trojans round off their new coaching staff

by : Timothy W. Shire

Saskatoon’s Synchrotron: the myth of a new vision for Saskatchewan
Friday
October 22, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : Though many herald the official opening of the synchrotron as a major and significant development in this province and for all this country. Here is quite a different take on this project.
Coffee in the Mall
Friday
October 22, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : No one is crying the blues at the Tisdale Mall since the closing of the west anchor of the operation. Instead the mall businesses have just pulled out the stops to make the mall shoping experience even better. Tattered Corners has added coffee to its sales.
The silver time machine
Thursday
October 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : The camera in one form or another has been around for more than a century and a half and during that time the magic of silver crystals have captured the light and shadows of the past. In those light and shadows we can find significant evidence of what once was and what life was like when that light was rendered onto paper, glass or plastic. (The owner of these images, Tisdale Credit Union is in full agreement with their appearance on this web site.)
No Ice Cream
Wednesday
October 20, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : When the Beeland decided to build its cardlock on the former hatchery property a Dairy Queen franchise owner bought this lot between the Co-op Cardlock and 7-11.
The Greenwater Report
Tuesday
October 19, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : With businesses closed and harvest all but over our man at the park is suffering from what he calls "coffee withdrawal". As winter settles in its time for a fall fair or two and time to reflect on the harvest.
Today's perception of democracy: understanding the economics of whims from the economics of needs
Tuesday
October 19, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Prince Albert : At the heart of this complex story Mr. deSantis is concerned at the awarding of the Nobel prize for economics to two rather mundaine professors, one in California and the other in Arizona. The issue of what is better for the world is really what this is about and with many outstanding references you have the opportunity in this story to find out some truths for yourself.
Romeo Dallaire at the University
Monday
October 18, 2004
by : Michael Townsend
Kamloops : This man made it high on the list of Great Canadians in the CBC project and is considered by all who have met him as the true Canadian hero of our time. Michael Townsend shares with us his thoughts on the General's speech at Thompson Rivers University this past week.
These clouds do not come in peace
Friday
October 15, 2004
Images by : Andrew Shire
Tisdale : The troubled sky of Thursday was the subject as we tried to grasp a sample of the signs above.
The Greenwater Report
Wednesday
October 13, 2004
by : Gerald Crawford
Greenwater Provincial Park : Gerald is helping with harvest and witnessing first hand the damage done by frost to an outstanding crop now of just straw.
Trojans tie with Beardy's Blackhawks
Friday
October 8, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale : No doubt the team looked a little shell shocked in the first two periods without their coach to guide them so early in the new season but the third period was theirs and despite five minutes of overtime the game ended in a three three tie.
