Plymouth
Fury, 1958
Date: 9/2803 10:10AM and 10/1/03 1:44AM
From: Butch & Dot <butch-dot@gci.net>
To: Timothy Shire <timothy@ftlcomm.com>
I'm curious why you talk about the 57-58 Plymouth Fury and then show pictures
of a 60 Fury?
I was just on the web looking for 57-58 plymouth furys and came upon your article
about the fury. The article had a number of pics of a 60 ply. fury. not a bad looking
car,black&white. but no mention of the pictured car in the text. just curious.
I should mention that I owned two 57 furys and one 58 fury, which was all original
when I bought it used. I still kick myself for selling it.

Mr.
Ribs: review
Date: 9/29/03 4:10PM
From: Marla Ives <marsbars32@hotmail.com>
To: Timothy Shire <timothy@ftlcomm.com>
I was shocked to read a web page about Mr.Ribs, that is right just with one B.
You are suppose to be promoting places in Tisdale ,but you are definatly not doing
that. Mr.Ribs is a new business in Tisdale and is trying to survive they need everyones
support!
This restaurant opened it's doors, and what a big surprise, IT"S SMOKE FREE!!!
Sweet Aroma isn't, besides, sweet aroma has a drab look to it, and Mr. Ribs has a
young, fantastic look about it.
Wether you get crackers with soup or not doesn't matter, ask if you can get some!!!
You should be happy about the fries, besides if a sandwich comes without fries,
it's a big rip!!! Oh, and another thing, ask for ice in your water, don't be such
a big wimp, ask for ice water!!
A person such as yourself should be out promoting places like Mr.Ribs.
They have taken that lot to new heights that business has had 3 past owners in a
row that have gone out of business after the first month. We are peoud to have a
new restaurant and not eat at the same places over and over again.
It is important to take pride in Tisdale! Thank-you for your time.
Editor's reply:
Marla any quick look over my web sites and you will find I have promoted business
after business in Tisdale, all 100% free of charge. But people expect me to be honest.
The menu at Mr. Ribs is high price, low value.
I reviewed a meal and told you exactly what I got and why I objected.
When I find something that should be fairly reported I do it and know that readers
appreciate my opinion but are, as you are, perfectly within your right to have your
opinion.
The smoke free bit is a real plus, you are absolutely right, I have never eaten at
Nibblers because the atmosphere (smoke) is not safe, it makes me cough.
To be a good place to eat it needs more than a smoke free environment. It needs
good food at a reasonable price with good service. Mr. Ribs failed me on all three
counts.

Aggressive
Testing
Date: 9/21/03 10:29PM
From: Don and Lori Vickery <dlvic@sasktel.net>
To: Timothy Shire <timothy@ftlcomm.com>
Dear Sir,
I was just wondering, after reading your article about Aggresive Testing in Tisdale,
how your quote of:
"he was driving slow and maintained a half block to a one block separation."
was made possible. In your article, you state that the driver was going faster than
40 Km and driving erratically. How is it possible that you were not, and yet able
to maintain your "safe" distance?
Just seems a little contradictory to me.
A curious reader.
Editor:Yeah, sorry about that, the explanation seems like an obvious contraction
however there is some geography involved. The whole of Tisdale is really only about
six blocks North and South and three blocks East and West. This allowed me to simple
guess where he was going and move there. As you see in the picture at the top of
the page I am photographing them from the side as they had gone a block North, a
block East and a block South while I only went a block East. That’s a 3/1 ratio of
speed and time as to distance.

Cassiar
British Columbia
DATE: 2/09/03 9:18PM
From: Paula Lake goldenlake2@juno.com
To: Timothy Shire timothy@ftlcomm.com
Hello Timothy,
I am writing to you from Southern California.
I visited your website and saw beautiful pictures of Cassiar and
McDame Creek. You said it was possible to see more pictures. I would
love to!
From 1890 to 1899, my ancestor was a gold miner on McDame Creek,
about 8 miles from McDame Post. I have always wondered what the area
looks like. After leaving the Cassiar area, our Karl Johan became a
mailboat captain to the Nome gold rush where he disappeared. His family was close
and had been looking forward to hearing all about British
Columbia and each receiving a little gold nugget. But Karl wrote a last letter home
saying he had a paying claim near Sylvester's Landing (McDame Post) and then was
never heard from again. Thefamily never got to hear about the Cassiar, in fact, they
never even found out where
Sylvester's Landing was. It would take 100 years and the invention of Internet before
we could trace Karl's trail to McDame Creek.
If it is possible to see more pictures, that would be
wonderful----if not, I do want to thank you for the glimpse of the
Cassiar region that we got to see. All that gorgeous snow!!!
Sincerely,
Paula Lake

Your pictures are the kind of pictures that people never take - I'm always so busy

Conceit, the dictionary defines it as " an especially unduly high opinion of
one's own abilities or worth" [American Heritage].
This word applies aptly to Ms.Ginny Hasselfield, President of the Federal Liberal
Party of South Surrey WR langley riding...refer to her letter of Oct 30 in the Peace
Arch News. Conceit applies not only to her, but most federal Liberals; chief among
them Paul Martin. Both Ms . Hasselfield and Mr Martin, the great pretender, do not
hesitate to lay claim to being first in most things, political. Her words; "...the
South Fraser Federal Liberal Action Group [ I love the word 'action', don't you?]
has been vigorously and aggressively promoting issues...". It is my guess in
arriving at a name the Liberals started with an acronym, Flag; hence of the word
'action'. Where was the action by Liberals over the last 10 years?
Contrast this with the more modest appellation, the South Fraser Regional P.C. Forum.
In claiming originality for Flag displays a paucity of ideas. Contrast this with
NAFTA and GST introduced by the previous Tory government.

Dear Mr. Shire,
In reference to your article on the Produce Department at Extra Foods in Tisdale,
I must say as a weekly shopper that I find your statement for the most part to be
untrue and bordering on slander.
Firstly, the manager of the Produce Department is helpful, kind and considerate to
his customers and his staff. His staff are as well. They have helped me out on several
occasions.
Secondly, the produce that is wrapped and reduced is to be sold at the reduced rate
for quick sale. Everyone who buys these know that this is done because the fruit/vegetables
are on the verge of overripe or spoiling, but are still quite eatable for the most
part. On the rare occasion there may be some already spoiled, but to imply that this
is done in trickery is preposterous. When you purchase these marked down/clearance
items you should expect them not to be in mint condition. If you require the package
to be open for your inspection just ask and I am sure someone would be of service
to you. If you had a specific problem it should have been directed to the Manager
of the Department or the Store Manager rather than condemning all staff. I have bought
reduced produce/fruit for years and have never had anything that was unexpected.
However, your reference to the Extra Foods Pricing Policy from their Head Office
in having to buy in quanities to get items at lower prices, is dead on. As well,
their signage throughout the entire store is not always easy to decipher for the
average customer.
Yours truly,
Heather Allan

Your article concerning the Extra foods staff sounded like you were having a bad
day and needed someone to vent your frustrations on!! We have purchased the 99 cent
reduced packages of produce for years and anyone who knows anything about produce
knows that when it is wrapped in a package such as that, it spoils much quicker than
when it is out in the open. Further more everyone knows that this produce is on the
verge of spoiling therefore it is priced for quick sale. If you don't like it, why
buy it?
Also the produce manager is a very personable and obliging person. Just ask him about
a product and he is quick to give a sample or answer questions. Of course if you
are in too much of a hurry to do this you really shouldn't expect him to be a mind
reader.

To: timothy@ftlcomm.com
Dear Mr. Shire,
As the wife of the Produce Manager of Extra Foods, I find your article on the produce
section totally inaccurate and offensive.
I have no doubt that at times when people buy reduced produce that they have found
spoiled fruit or vegetables at the bottom of the package, I have as well. However,
I can reassure you and anyone reading your slanderous article, that my husband or
any of his staff working in the Produce section never under any circumstance try
to "cheat" the customer into buying rotten food by placing spoiled merchandise
under better quality product. Produce naturally spoils from touch and the weight
of the fruit above. And if you have ever spoken John, and asked him to open a package
so you can see the contents or to remove spoiled material he would gladly do so and
has done so for others. You are of course referring to a .99 cent package that would
likely be worth double or triple but if you have the time and are so inclined to
dicker over such things please do so.
As far as being friendly and customer service oriented, I think you would have a
difficult time finding anyone more so inclined than John. He is extremely active
in the community and is continually praised by many for his pleasant manner at work
and willingness to help customers. I would also suggest that you have a conversation
with the Bakery/Deli Manager. Bea is polite, competent and always willing to discuss
her product and the quality thereof.
I do agree that as with many large chain stores the community spirit and home-like
atmosphere tend to be missing. But we must all maintain perspective and realize that
the staff has little to no control over pricing policies and heating systems (although
I am not totally in agreement with your suspicions). They do however, have total
control over common courtesy and customer service. If you find that lacking I would
suggest that you make a formal complaint detailing specific information rather than
damning an entire staff or making false accusations based on a suspicious nature.
Sincerely,
Corinne Lam Ma

To: timothy@ftlcomm.com
I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying highspeed, as mentioned in your Friday's
ADSL article. I do have one point I would appreciate clarification on. Without experience
with apple products, I many not understand their networking configurations. You say
in your article that you need to use a cross over cable to connect the alcatel modem
to your computer or to the uplink port on your hub. Since the port on the alcatel
is configured as an "x" port, my understanding is that you should need
a straight cable in those situations and a cross over cable only if you are connecting
the modem to a regular port on the hub. I have heard that the new G4's have "intelligent"
ethernet ports that allow them to detect wheather they are connected directly to
another apple (in which case they act as an "x" port) or to a regular ethernet
network where they are configured as a straight thru port. Maybe that explains my
confusion with your use of the straight and cross over cables. I would appreciate
your feedback on this point as we don't want people running out to buy cross over
cables when the straight thru cables from S'tel will work just fine!
btw, you do have a great site!
thanx for now.
Dwight Markland
Editor: Dwight
you are 100% on the mark. At one point during the process I had five different ethernet
cables on the floor as I tried various ones to get things running. In that process
there was some confusion and I really appreciate you bring that to our attention
and I have cleaned up the error in the story. Indeed the final working set up involved
a regular ethernet cable from the modem to the uplink (X) port on the hub.

Hello I found your site by chance. Who else would better know about cold feet and
skating than someone in Canada. I live in Chicago and the proud dad of 3 kids 10,8,
and 6. After spending a half hour putting on skates it is distressing when the kids
get cold feet often quickly. This is even if they are racing up and down the rink.
The skates fit very well - no complaints from the kids there. Is there a type of
sock or socks that are better, someone mentioned plastic baggies? Any suggestions

Letters to the Editor
The Ensign
Dear Editor,
"Heather MacIvor, a former Tory party member and a professor at the
University of Windsor,"is quoted by Canadian Press as saying "any hope
for
a merger would come from Tory caucus defectors."
By stating "If I'm thinking of scenarios under which a merger could happen,
(one is) the Tories losing official status because one or more MPs goes
over to the Alliance", MacIvor frankly admits she's hypothesizing. In her
calculations she ignores factuality. From 1993-1997 the Party had a two
member caucus, on November 27th it was nip and tuck whether there would be
12 Conservative members elected, and, most importantly, those such as she
who bought a membership but were not Party supporters have left and have no
influence.
Reality? Discussion concerning or "any hope for a merger" does not come
from Tories. Rather than this they are taking great satisfaction in
MacIvor's postulating and Day's plotting the imminent demise of the
Conservative Party, which, by all past predictions, should already be dead
and buried.
Yours truly,
Joe Hueglin

"There is a suspicion that hockey may be a religion."(tip for Wednesday
November 29, 2000)
Tim, what about CFL football. The flocking of the throngs to Calgary this past weekend
("Sunday"), the fervor of us rabid Saskatchewan fans, the pedestal we create
for players like "Lui", "Ron" and "George". And of
course the uniforms they now wear that promotes the idea of the "Greek God".
Faith, that central feature of religion, is the only thing that fills the stadium
in Regina on cold fall afternoons. And finally when all else fails, all seems to
be lost, there is that "goto" play, the "Hail Mary" pass. The
percentages of such a pass are very low, but there remains that "hope".
The wearing of the "green", the willingness to participate in an all out
donney-brook when anyone should bad mouth "your team".
Then there is balance in the universe. "We, the west" kicked their ass
on "Sunday", and "they, the east" kicked our ass on Monday.
Talk to you soon.

Just finished reading your story on the election. In it you erroneously describe

intentional, I'm sure. As a past employee, and friend of Brian Fripp, I would (as
would his family) appreciate it if his name was corrected. The success TSL Computers
has enjoyed is because of what I learned from Brian Fripp. I was fortunate enough
to work with Brian for 14 years. During that time I learned lessons that can not
be taught in school, only by someone who truly understands business. I still remember
Brian telling me "Do something you enjoy, and do it better than anyone else."
Anyway, thanks for letting me ramble...and to remember a friend.

The motorcycle you have pictured is a Harley Electraglide from the 90's with a Lehman's
trike kit added on. Lehman's is a company that builds trike kits for Harley and Honda
Goldwing mainly, but also can be put on Kawasakis, Suzukis, and Yamahas.
I have a 1969 servi-car which was originally employed by Chicago Police Department
as a parking enforcement vehicle. It has a left hand throttle and shift on right
side of the tank to the cops could still fire their handguns. Harley made these bikes
specially for Chicago P.D. If you would like a picture, let me know. I have customized
the bike some with paint, chrome, and bigger wheels, but is still pretty much stock.

Tim,
In regard to your article about Mr. Day it appears you may not agree
with much of his philosophy or that of the Alliance Party.
Having read through it all I must admit there are some quotes I don't agree with
either, but that will not change my voting for the Alliance on Nov. 27.
The reason I take home 5 times the salary, pay less tax (thousands / year), 10 cents
/ litre less for fuel, no sales tax, have a better financial chance of success (my
home will appreciate more in 2 years here than the one I sold in SK at a loss after
owning for 15 years), better jobs for my older children ($18 / hour as a computer
operator at UPS beats shovelling grain and unemployment insurance), have a more stable
lifestyle, better healthcare, and better schools is not because of anything Roy Romanow
or Jean Chretien have done it is because of the policies of Mr. Klein and Mr. Day
when he was MLA in AB.
Fill out your income tax with an AB address on Wintax next year and see for yourself.
I've done it and the SK one is not a pretty picture.

Mr. Jim Ramsay
President and CEO, AIM Inc.
Dear Mr. Ramsey:
I was very surprised to know that your company along with MediSolution and other
partners has just concluded a $2.5 million contract to provide a host of web based
health care services. In particular, this contract includes the provision of services
for St. Joseph's Health Centre in Macklin. Also, it is my understanding that, in
accordance to a newswire release dated February 26, 1999, the St. Joseph's Health
Centre already signed a contract with yourselves, and in fact this release states
that this contract "includes Patient Registration, Electronic Patient Record,
Patient Care Planning and Scheduling, Admissions, Discharge and Transfers, Orders
and Results, Laboratory, Pharmacy, Radiology, Payroll, Staff Scheduling, Human Resources
and others. Installation will begin immediately." Since the Saskatchewan Government
is responsible for the legislation protecting patient records, since the Saskatchewan
Health Information Network (SHIN) is centrally responsible for the development of
the Saskatchewan health network, and since the Saskatchewan Association of Health
Organizations (SAHO) is centrally responsible for the provision of many health services,
including the recently acquired SAP healthcare payroll, I would appreciate to know
how your Saskatchewan contracts affect the related services provided by SHIN and
those provided by SAHO.
Given the present structure of health care information technology I find very unusual
that your company is not publicly interfacing with either Saskatchewan Health, SHIN
or SAHO. Therefore, as I have been always interested in the provision of effective
health care Information Technology services in the province, I reiterate my interest
in knowing your business role within the present health care information technology
structure, that is how your business interfaces with the present services provided
by SHIN and SAHO.
Sincerely,
Mario deSantis

Well,
I don't know if I have the right address or not, but somewhere within FTLCOM was
a page for the Friendly Giant. I just wanted you to know there was a page for it
on www.tvparty.com (lost tv shows) that has some information. Also in searching the
net, I've come across a number of obits for Robert Homme. I was sad to hear that
he died in 1998. I has seen this shoe briefly in the late 60's and have been hopelessly
searching for it ever since. Now I am looking for audio/video/photos from the show.
"FTLComm - Coaldale, ON - May 3, 2000"
You were 13 in 1958...I was 6 in 1970. I can't remember when I saw this show, but
it was around 1970.
Thanks,
Kevin Keely

Hi Timothy,
Just divide the letters into 'current' and 'history' with a page having
links to however you divide them.
ie.
Yearly- monthly etc
This links page only needs to be updated once in awhile as the 'current'
section fills up or becomes history.
This means that visitors only need to go back to history once and after that
they can visit the current section for new stuff.
Hope this helps and makes sense too.
Stu Innes
Editor's note: Thanks Stu your advise has been taken.

Finance Spokesperson Roy Schneider: Playing with tax numbers and wishfull
thinking

Hi Mario,
I am always glad to see that you are keeping up the good work, and the Gord Nystuen
item is right on!
However I want to make sure you don't really think that SHIN is dormant just because
the gov't and the media have been keeping it out of the spotlight.
They bragged about not needing any more money cuz they still had some of the second
$20 million left not too long ago.
Also they are working at a frantic pace to fast track the records into digital form
and to incorporate procedures that cannot be undone within the day to day workings
of the faclities currently and so to be involved.
FYI
Greaner
