UPDATE: The final version is now up.

Here is the final run of this month's Forward Look. Jim's article is now included.

There are three articles up, plus the agenda for this month's meeting on Monday night. Just a reminder that Monday night is nomination night and there are a number of positions up for election (including mine as I will not be running this year).

Hope to see you there.

In solidarity,

Tim

July Forward Look

The July Forward Look is now up. It is a fairly short version. A printed edition will be going into the mill later this week (I think).

Click here to view or above.

One note. The google site that I have this files stored in keeps saying that they will eventually migrate to a new google site. I don't know how this will affect the links so anyone notices that the links no longer work, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix them up. The transition may be smooth but I'll have to wait and see.

Thanks and hope everyone is enjoying this great summer.

In solidarity,

Tim

June Forward Look

The June Forward Look is now online. Find it by clicking here.

Please note that due to the fact there was really only the one article, we have not published a print version this month.

Don't forget the General Meeting on Monday night at 7:00 p.m. We will be dealing with some important issues.

Thanks.

Tim

May Forward Look

The May edition of the Forward Look is online here. A print version will be available in the mill later this week.

Additionally, please note that the General Meeting is on Tuesday next week (May 19) not Monday as usual. This is due to Monday being Victoria Day.

Also, a separate pdf of the Agenda for Monday's General Meeting is here.

February Forward Look

The February Forward Look is now online. You can find it by clicking here.

There was only one contribution this month so it is an abbreviated edition. Also, because there was only one submitted article it was decided that we would not put a printed version in the mill this month.

January Forward Look

The January Forward Look is up. Just click on the link to read it.

There has been some requests and discussions about returning to a printed, abbreviated Forward Look for distribution in the mill. Since there is a motion on the books to take the Forward Look 100% online, it requires a motion to go back to a printed edition. With that in mind there is an Executive Recommendation that proposes a trial period until June of an abbreviated Forward Look. This would be in the order of a 4 page edition featuring only submitted articles and not any of the extras found in the online edition. We will be dealing with this motion, and several others, at the General Meeting on Monday Night. In addition, we will be electing committees including the Safety Committee. So come on out and let your voice be heard.

December Agenda

Greetings to all from Halcyon Hot Springs where I am enjoying a few days soaking in the hot pools with my wife.

Due to a lack of contributions this month to the Forward Look and being on my 22 days off there will be no online Forward Look this month. The new President will post his article directly to the blog.

The Agenda for the December 15th General meeting can be found here. Make sure you come out to get all the latest info on what's happening.

Now, back to my holidays.

In solidarity,

Tim

November Forward Look

The November Forward Look is now posted and can be found here.

Don't forget the General Meeting on Monday, November 17th at 7:00. There is important business to conduct because it is nomination night for your 2009 Executive.

See you there.

Tim

Forward Look Coming

Just a quick update to let you know that I'll try to get to the Forward Look today or tomorrow. I just finished my last night shift and have to get my mind working again before tackling this month's issue. Check back tomorrow and hopefully it will be up.

Tim

November Forward Look Articles

Just a reminder that any Forward Look articles need to be in my gmail inbox no later than Friday, November 7 so that I can print it up for review at the Executive meeting on Monday. Since I am working dayshift on Sunday and Monday this is a pretty firm date.

Thanks and I look forward to your submissions. My email is available by clicking on my name in the sidebar and then click on email in the left column of my profile.

October Forward Look Articles

Just a quick note that there will actually be a Forward Look this month. If you have an article please email it to me no later than Monday, October 13th so it can be reviewed at the Executive meeting on the 15th.

Tim

No Forward Look

There will be no Forward Look this month. I am on holidays with limited internet access. In addition, the only article submitted this month was from Marc St. Thomas and Pete has indicated that he will post that directly to this blog.

The only other issue surrounds the Agenda but I have no information on any Executive Recommendations (having missed the Executive meeting). I would still urge you to come out to the General Meeting on Monday to deal with business prior to the summer break.

To everyone on C crew, I hope you are enjoying your days off. I know I am.

In solidarity,

Tim

May Forward Look

The May Forward Look is up and can be found here. I have tried to make it a bit more readable on screen and still printable. I will continue to work on ways to improve as time allows. You will see that I have eliminated the two column format which works in a printed publication but creates unwieldy scrolling up and down the screen if you are reading it that way. I am trying to create a look similar to blogs but that will still be fairly readable if you do print it out.

My thanks to Mike Hoodikoff for the suggestion. I welcome any other suggestions that will make the online experience better.

In solidarity,

Tim

May Forward Look Submissions

Just a reminder to everyone that if you have an article for May's Online Forward Look it needs to be in my email no later than Friday, May 9th so I can get it ready for the Executive Meeting.

Thanks.

No Forward Look

Due to extreme busyness (that's always a good excuse) there were no articles submitted to the Forward Look this month. The President has been quite busy lately with the information meetings and didn't get time to complete his article. I've been busy making the transition back to shift work and working extra shifts to get my training completed before May 1 so I didn't get to an article this month.

However, this blog will continue to be updated.

Click here for the agenda for next Monday's General Meeting.

Just a reminder to all retirees that the Semi-Annual Retirees' Get Together is on April 18 from 10 AM to 1 PM. This announcement is also in the sidebar.
