 The silver time
machine- Thursday
October 21, 2004
by : Timothy W. Shire
Tisdale

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

 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)

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

not just a rumor it is now a legal opinion and every need be concerned about their
