Curlers chase dreams with new teams

BY BRUCE PENTON Sports Columnist

Free-agent frenzy is one of the most interesting days for fans of the National Hockey League, but the shinny game has nothing on curling.

You might actually need a program listing team personnel next season if you want to keep track of who’s throwing stones for whom as teams target the next Olympic Games cycle. Hardly a single team has remained intact, other than Colton Flasch in Saskatchewan, whose rink is in the second tier of talent on the men’s side.

Let’s start at the top of the men: Brad Gushue’s Brier championship team is losing Brett Gallant, who moves to Alberta and will curl with Brendan Bottcher, whose front end of Karrick Martin and Brad Thiessen jumped ship to join Kevin Koe. The veteran Koe has picked up promising B.C. youngster Tyler Tardi to throw third stones. Gone from Koe’s 2022 rink are third B.J. Neufeld, who is teaming up with Matt Dunstone in a return-to-Manitoba adventure, second John Morris (retired to concentrate on mixed doubles)

and Ben Hebert, who will curl with Bottcher. Got all that? Well, there’s more. Plenty more.

Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie is taking the year off, and his second, E.J. Harndon, is rumoured to be the replacement for Gallant on the Gushue rink. Harndon’s brother, Ryan, will throw lead stones for Dunstone (along with Neufeld and Colton Lott). Marc Kennedy, the third for Jacobs last year, will fill that role on the Bottcher rink. Mike McEwen and long-time third Reid Carruthers have split, with Carruthers wanting to skip his own rink and McEwen rumoured to be considering joining John Epping’s Toronto foursome. Joining Carruthers are longtime skip Jason Gunnlaugson at third, Derek Samalgaski at second and Connor Njegovan at lead.

There were almost as many significant changes among Canadian women’s teams as there were with the men. Rachel Homan and Tracy Fleury, two of the top skips in Canada, have joined forces. Who will skip remains to be seen. Leaving the team was Joanne Courtney while the front end will consist of Sarah Wilkes and former third

Emma Miskew, who moves down to allow for the addition of Fleury. Veteran Winnipeg skip Jennifer Jones and her third, Kaitlyn Lawes, have parted ways, with Jones taking over the youthful Mackenzie Zacharias foursome, which won the Manitoba Scotties’ title this year. Lawes will skip her own rink with ex-Jones’ second Jocelyn Peterman at second, and two former members of the Fleury team, Kristin McCuish and Selena Njegovan, filling out the squad. Chelsea Carey has juggled her Saskatchewan-based team, adding Liz Fyfe, daughter of the late Brier champ, Vic Peters, at second. Casey Scheidegger of Lethbridge keeps her sister, Jessie Haughian, and adds two members of Laura Walker’s team, Kate Cameron at third and Taylor McDonald at second.

Do you value your privacy?

Thehusband said, “My wife thinks I don’t give her enough privacy. At least that’s what she said in her diary.”

While everyone wants their privacy to be respected, it’s becoming increasingly difficult. This week I’ve heard similar concerns expressed about digital identification, but from two different perspectives. Which, in turn, inspired me to bring it to your attention.

MP Leslyn Lewis noted that Canada is one of the first countries, along with the Netherlands, to sign on to the World Economic Forum’s pilot project to introduce a Known Traveller Digital Identity (KTDI). Other partners include Air Canada, Pierre Elliott Trudeau Airport, and Toronto’s Pearson Airport.

The idea is that world travellers can increase “global” trust as they travel around the world. She notes, that although it sounds good, building up trust points through your activities is literally a credit score. By signing on to such an ID, we would be allowing a global body to determine what meets the requirement for an “acceptable” or “safe” traveller.

It could begin with a travel ID, but the WEF has suggested that this could be expanded to include one’s digital currency, banking information, carbon footprint, health records and driver’s license. Journalist, Anthony Furey suggested, although digital IDs may appear convenient and innocent, Canadians need to think long and hard before accepting them, as privacy boundaries begin to erode.

The second perspective on this topic was presented by a researcher at the University of Cincinnati and recent US immigrant by the name of Pei Li. He said he fled the People’s Republic of China and came to the west in search of freedom.

“But now I’m seeing troubling signs that remind me of what I left behind,” he said. “The loss of freedom doesn’t happen overnight. The social credit system in China has been decades in the making. It was OK at first; these things always are.”

In the 1990’s Chinese banks developed a financial bank rating system to increase lending in rural areas. It sounded convenient, but government officials soon realized similar programs could be set up to gather other information about the behaviour of citizens. By 2014, new technology allowed the government to

monitor what people said, read and searched on the Internet.

“More data equals more control,” Li said. He witnessed the central government issue pilot programs in 43 cities across the country. Local officials labelled certain behaviours as acceptable and others as unacceptable. Citizens gained or lost points depending on whether their public and private behaviour conformed to government standards. If someone lost too many points, they would also lose privileges such as loss of Internet, bank loans and plane tickets.

Grumbling about state policy and discussing religion were unacceptable behaviours. “It’s assumed that this system will be mandated for all citizens,” Li said. Some Chinese citizens think the system promotes good behaviour, addressing everything from crime, bad driving, and financial delinquency, but the system doesn’t stop there.

“Chinese authorities have drawn up massive blacklists for those deemed unacceptable,” Li said. According to The Guardian in England, 23 million names are on the blacklist.

A journalist named Liu Hu published articles exposing government corruption and censorship. The system banned him from flying, travelling by train, taking out loans and buying property without any due process. Many people have been sent to re-education camps for unacceptable behaviour.

Leslyn Lewis said concerns expressed in Canada are often dismissed as “conspiracy”. However Li said “Everything we see in China, we are starting to see here in the west.”

He went on to list mandates preventing Canadians from flying within and outside of their country, the freezing of bank accounts, disfavouring businesses like oil companies, and parents being criticized for objecting to what’s being taught in public schools.

Li is speaking as someone who fled from government control, and Leslyn Lewis is speaking as a lawyer with a PhD in International Law.

“The social credit system is the future of the People’s Republic of China,” Li said. “We must be vigilant. We don’t want it to be the future of our countries in the west.”

Saturn plans 29.2 net wells in southeast, 5 in west central Saskatchewan

BY BRIAN ZINCHUK www.pipelineonline.ca

CALGARY – Last year was transformational for Saturn Oil & Gas, with the acquisition of former Crescent Point properties in the Oxbow area. The result was a substantial growth in the company, just prior to dramatic increases in oil prices. Those realities were reflected in the company’s year-end financials, released at the end of business on April 29.

“The fourth quarter of 2021 was an important milestone for Saturn as we initiated our first drilling program at our newly acquired Oxbow asset,” said Justin Kaufmann, senior vice president exploration, in a press release. “Our inaugural Oxbow drilling program was highlighted with the top performing well drilled in Saskatchewan in Q4 2021 of the 550+ wells drilled with over 500 hours of production data.”

The company said it achieved corporate record production with fourth quarter 2021 average of 7,279 boepd, compared to 415 boepd in the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 1,654 per cent.

Saturn generated adjusted funds flow of $9.7 million and $27.3 million in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million in the comparable 2020 periods primarily due to contributions from the operations of the Oxbow asset.

It also achieved operating netbacks for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021 of $35.66 per boe and $36.38 per boe.

Saturn invested $3.6 million development capital in the fourth quarter, drilling four 100 per cent working interest Frobisher wells.

The company generated fourth quarter free adjusted funds flow of $5.7 million, excluding property acquisition expenditures of $2.8 million relating to the Oxbow Asset. It exited the fourth quarter with $71.1 million net debt, realizing an annualized net debt to H2 2021 adjusted funds flow of 1.5x.

In a message to shareholders, Saturn’s press release said, “2021 was the most impactful year in the history of Saturn, which was highlighted by the acquisition of the Oxbow asset in June of 2021. This transformational acquisition enhanced the company’s long-term sustainability by adding a low decline, light oil focused production base that provides substantial cash flow to fund the future growth of the Company and to retire the debt incurred in the acquisition. The Oxbow asset also has extensive development potential with 298 gross booked drilling locations and an additional 200+ identified and un-booked gross drilling locations which collectively provide over a decade of internally generated drilling inventory. Also critical to Saturn’s future growth plans is the optimization and workover of the non-producing wells acquired at Oxbow and to return many of these wells into economic production.”

Saturn said it invested approximately $91.1 million in combined capital expenditures and property acquisitions in 2021 between the acquisition of the Oxbow asset and its 2021 drilling program. This investment resulted in a production increase of 3,024 per cent, from 233 boepd in Q1 2021 to 7,279 boepd in Q4 2021. “The production increase of 7,046 boepd implies an attractive capital investment efficiency of $12,929 per boepd. Saturn is focused on repeating the success of 2021 by continuing to direct future capital expenditures to the highest expected return projects in our inventory,” the company said.

Saturn said it made substantial increases to its reserve base in 2021 with total proved (TP) and total proved plus probable (TPP) reserves increasing year over year by 910 per cent and 668 per cent, respectively. Finding, development and acquisition costs of reserves were achieved at “attractive metrics” of $3.15/boe for TP and $2.14/boe for TPP ($9.69/boe for TP and $9.28/boe including future development capital) which it said are top tier amongst light oil peers.

Oxbow update

The fourth quarter of 2021 marked the end of the integration period of the Oxbow acquisition and the beginning of the development of the company’s new core growth unit in southeastern Saskatchewan. Saturn drilled four successful horizontal wells in light oil-bearing Frobisher zones in the Glen Ewen area in the fourth quarter of 2021, which were placed into production in December of 2021 and in January of 2022. The initial production of Saturn’s first group of Oxbow wells has exceeded the company’s expectations averaging 96.3 bpd per well, for the first 30 days, representing a 40 per cent increase above the average type curve of all wells drilled in Southeast Saskatchewan Mississippian play in the past five years, with a sample size of 1,400 wells.

The initial success of these drill results has encouraged Saturn to undertake a 29.2 net well drilling program for 2022 at the Oxbow asset. This program is planned to be executed by one drilling rig which has been contracted throughout 2022, the company said.

Viking update

Saturn directed substantially all of its Q3 2021 capital expenditure program to the Viking asset in west central Saskatchewan with the drilling of three successful horizontal wells in the Loverna area. The Viking asset contains 53 gross booked drilling locations with reserves at year end 2021 representing approximately 15 per cent of the company’s overall booked drilling locations. Subsequent to year end, Saturn acquired a synergistic asset in Viking area increasing the company’s land position 200 per cent and adding additional drilling locations, in February 2022. Saturn has budgeted to drill five net Viking wells, starting in June of 2022, representing approximately 15 per cent of the wells Saturn plans to drill in 2022.

ESG Initiatives

Over the period of the boom, Crescent Point bought up the assets of many companies in southeast Saskatchewan, and a substantial portion of that is what Saturn acquired as its “Oxbow asset.” As a result, the newcomer to the area also has a substantial number of old wells it is now liable for.

Saturn said it continues to prioritize the abandonment and reclamation of wells that no longer have economic production potential as part of the company’s land reclamation program. The company has contracted two service rigs to work

exclusively on decommissioning old well bores and to date 38 wells have been abandoned. Saturn’s land reclamation program in 2022 is 100 per cent funded by $13.8 million awarded under the Accelerated Site Closure Program (ASCP) and through the Indigenous business credit pool. The company is targeting abandoning a total of 150 to 200 unproductive wells in 2022. Saturn continues to have a $21 million deposit with the Saskatchewan government for future abandonment and reclamation obligations.

Outlook

Saturn said it is pursuing a balanced approach to sustainable production growth and rapid repayment of debt. The company is forecasting 2022 to be another record year for oil and gas production, as outlined in the March 15, 2022 announcement of the fully funded $50 million capital program. The budgeted 2022 capital program is expected to result in:

Average 2022 annual production in the range of 7,800 to 8,200 boepd;

Generating hedged EBITDA in the range of $73 to $77 million, based on USD $75 WTI oil price assumption;

Corporate hedged EBITDA to reach between $93 to $97 million, based on USD $100 WTI oil price assumption; and

Q4 2022 average production in the range of 8,100 to 8,500 boepd, representing year-overyear production growth between 12 per cent – 17 per cent.

As a guiding principle, Saturn intends to direct approximately 50 per cent of future corporate cash flow towards growth capital expenditures and approximately 50 per cent to the repayment of debt. Saturn is committed to reducing debt levels in the near term and expects to make principal payments of approximately $38 million in 2022 and $40 million in 2023 which is expected to result in approximately zero net debt by year end 2023, assuming USD $75 WTI oil prices, under its current senior term loan. Saturn anticipates that when future debt levels reach a sustainable level and debt repayments are terminated, the company will have the capability to direct a portion of corporate cash flow to shareholders in the form of a dividend or share buyback program, subject to board of directors’ approval. Saturn has outstanding 13.4 million warrants, on a post consolidated basis, that expire on June 4, 2023 (trading symbol SOIL.WT, post-consolidated strike price of $3.20/share) that if exercised, would result in up to $42.9 million of proceeds that could accelerate the reduction of net debt.

Cuba Medical Mission raises funds

BY JOAN JANZEN

Your Southwest Media Group

John Martinez and his wife Razel were busy preparing delicious Filipino cuisine at Clearview Community Church on Friday, April 29th. The meal, accompanied by a silent auction, was a fundraiser for the Cuba Medical Mission. Ruth Griffith explained what the medical mission is all about.

From 2004 to 2019, Ruth and her husband Lloyd took six teams of approximately fifteen volunteers to Cuba. The volunteers from churches in Delisle, Kindersley and Saskatoon would primarily help out with construction projects and do children’s ministry.

“Since then we’ve been collecting supplies ... hospital beds, recycled wheelchairs, crutches, linens, any surplus supplies that are useful in Cuba.”

Luke Alberts

They have accumulated a large storage room full of supplies, and are looking into the difficult process of shipping the them to Cuba. “I’ve connected with a ministry based out of London, Ontario called ‘Together With Cuba’. They have a partnership with MediCuba which will share the cost of shipping if we can get our supplies to Ontario,” Ruth explained. “It sounds easy, but it’s more difficult than we every thought.”

Greg Bahm Jaden Thiessen

“The first time we went we had about 235 kids each day,” Ruth said. “We would hand out gift bags with candy. Some of the kids had never had candy before. We always stayed at a resort so we weren’t a burden on the local people, because it’s difficult for Cubans to host and feed that many people.”

Jace Kissick

Gary Lee

In May of 2018, Ruth and Lloyd made a trip to Cuba, and while there toured a medical clinic. It is the only day clinic serving a city of 45,000, and they were shocked by what they saw!

“There were no privacy rules. We could go into any room where patients were being examined,” she said. “There was no hot water in the clinic, and an empty medicine cabinet. They can’t buy pain medication there.”

When they walked in, there was cardboard on the floor instead of floor mats. Throughout the entire building, only three of the window air conditioners were working, and power outages occur daily.

Although the couple hasn’t been able to go on mission trips for the past few years, they continue to send care packages to Cuba. Circumstances have become even more desperate for the people in Cuba since Ruth and Lloyd last visited that country. “Their suicide rate is very high, and anyone who has a possibility of leaving will do so,” Ruth explained. Although leaving is dangerous, she was told 32,000 Cubans escaped to Nicaragua during the month of March, 2022.

Basic essentials are often impossible to find, or extremely expensive. Ruth said a pair of adult running shoes can cost $182 US, and something as simple as sewing needles cannot be found, even though many women use sewing as a source of income.

“This particular clinic had five doctors, and they all shared one stethoscope and one blood pressure cuff,” Ruth said. “They have one hospital gown that’s worn by every patient who gets scanned, and it gets washed once or twice a month. The x-ray technician is in a small room with an open tray of x-ray developer, breathing in those fumes.”

That’s a small snap shot of what a medical clinic in Cuba looks like, and it caused Ruth and Lloyd to begin to collecting supplies in Canada.

Although growing produce and raising cattle seem like a logical solution, Ruth explained why it’s not a simple solution in Cuba. “The Cuban government has rules about what people can grow. It’s against the law to grow potatoes unless you have a special licence from the government,” she said. “The more you find out ... the more rules you discover. Cows are government property. If you have a milk cow, the first 5 litres of milk goes to the government. It boggles your mind,” she said.

Meanwhile, Ruth and Lloyd, along with others, continue to raise money for the Cuban people. Their supper and silent auction on Friday evening brought in a total of $3,000.00.

“We are very grateful for all the support the project t has received in the community,” Ruth concluded.
