Kindersley RCMP renew reminder of the dangers of fentanyl
Kindersley RCMP reminds the public that fentanyl is dangerous – and it’s present in the Kindersley area.
Fentanyl is a very potent opioid pain reliever. It can take many forms: a colourful powder, chunks, pills or patches. It is also sometimes mixed with other street drugs. More information about fentanyl can be found here.
A few grains of it can be enough to kill you, so it’s important to know how to identify it. If you think you’ve found fentanyl, contact police. Officers have the training and equipment to safely handle and dispose of it.
It’s also important to recognize an overdose. Someone experiencing an opioid overdose may show signs and symptoms that include:
· Slow, weak or no breathing
· Blue lips or nails
· Dizziness and confusion
· Can’t be woken up
· Choking, gurgling or snoring sounds
· Drowsiness or difficulty staying awake
An overdose is an emergency, so call 9-1-1.
during an overdose, including the person experiencing an overdose. The Act protects the person who seeks help, whether they stay or leave from the overdose scene before help arrives. The Act also protects anyone else who is at the scene when help arrives.
Members of the public can also keep naloxone on hand if they or someone they know is at risk of overdose. Kindersley has a ‘take home naloxone kit’ program available free of charge through the Kindersley and District Health Centre. Naloxone can also be purchased at the Saskatchewan pharmacies on this list.
Kindersley RCMP responded to a further 25 calls for service between February 7th to February 13th. These calls included which included, but were not limited to, 2 break and enters, 4 suspicious persons calls and 1 mental health act call.
Emergency responders, including frontline Saskatchewan RCMP officers, carry naloxone, a fast-acting drug used to temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose.
Also, note that the Good Samaritan Drug Overdose Act provides some legal protection for individuals who seek emergency help
If you need to report any suspicious activity in your community, please contact the Kindersley RCMP detachment by calling 306-4634642 or their local police service. Information can also be provided anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers by calling 1800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.

The world’s leading expert on European wasps walks into a record shop.
He asks the assistant “Do you have ‘European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2? I believe it was released this week.”
“Certainly,” replies the assistant. “Would you like to listen before you buy it?”
“That would be wonderful,” says the expert, and puts on a pair of headphones.
He listens for a few moments and says to the assistant, “I’m terribly sorry, but I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and this is not accurate at all. I don’t recognize any of those sounds. Are you sure this is the correct recording?”
The assistant checks the turntable, and replies that it is indeed European Vespidae Acoustics Volume 2. The assistant apologizes and lifts the needle onto the next track.
Again the expert listens for a few moments and then says to the assistant, “No, this just can’t be right! I’ve been an expert in this field for 43 years and I still don’t recognize any of these sounds.”
The assistant apologizes again and lifts the needle to the next track.
The expert throws off the headphones as soon as it starts playing and is fuming with rage.
“This is outrageous false advertising! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps and no European wasp has ever made a sound like the ones on this record!”
The manager of the shop overhears the commotion and walks over.
“What seems to be the problem, sir?”
“This is an outrage! I am the world’s leading expert on European wasps. Nobody knows more about them than I do. There is no way in hell that the sounds on that record were made by European wasps!”
The manager glances down and notices the problem instantly.
“I’m terribly sorry, sir. It appears we’ve been playing you the bee side.”

Cheese Fondue Scores for Super Bowl Supper
My best cheese fondue memory goes back to a summer in Switzerland, the country of its origin. After hours of hiking trails in the Alps with a French family, we arrived at a charming mountaintop chalet, where we dipped chunks of fresh, rustic bread into a classic cheese fondue to cap off a perfect day.
so I've Americanized and simplified the traditional recipe using condensed cheddar-cheese soup as the base. Bring out your fondue pot, stir up this easy recipe and warm up with friends and family on a chilly winter evening. Or serve it as a novel supper during Super Bowl halftime. A tossed green or fruit salad makes a nice accompaniment.
MILD CHEESE FONDUE
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed Cheddar cheese soup, such as Campbell's 1/4 cup dry white wine or apple juice
1 cup Swiss cheese, grated 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated Tabasco (optional)

The memory of the edible trek lives on when I prepare fondue on my home turf. While authentic Swiss Emmentaler and Gruyere cheeses are available stateside, they can be quite pricey,
1. Heat soup, wine or apple juice, and cheeses over medium heat, stirring constantly until cheeses are melted. Add a drop or two of Tabasco and season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Rub the insides of a fondue pot with garlic. Pour the smooth cheese mixture into fondue pot and keep warm. Serve yourself by spearing bread chunks with fondue forks and dipping completely into sauce. Make 4-6 servings.
Extra idea: For preschoolers, dipping a long pretzel or bread stick topped with a chunk of French bread into their own bowl of the gooey cheese mixture is just as fun. Try veggies and apple slices for healthy dunkers, too.

FREEDOM IN THIS PLACE—CANADA
Freedom is definitely on the hearts and minds of many Canadians over the past two years but so much more the last two weeks. Canada is known as a free country evidenced by many people leaving difficult home country situations and immigrating there. My own great grandparents came from Europe seeking a fresh start in a free land.
Involved in this fight for our freedom were countless Canadians who went toe to toe against formidable opposition fighting in world wars. Because of their fearless hearts and relentless determination our freedom was maintained. As present day Canadians it is our great privilege and responsibility to ensure their efforts were not in vain. Let’s stand together for Canada-True North.
Also involved in these wars and stands for freedom were dogs who became at times a life supportmentally and physically for our soldiers. Meet GANDER LOOKNG

Royal Helium completes Climax-4 well, intends future multi-leg well, multi-branch horizontal wells
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
SASKATOON –Royal Helium Ltd. announced on Feb. 16 that the hydraulic fracture program at the Climax-4 vertical well was successful in opening the Nazare formation and tested 0.57 per cent helium over the 100-meter interval. The helium grade is consistent with initial (DST) tests and commercial grades in the region.
The company has recently focused on completing its current wells as opposed to new drilling.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
Royal will now advance Nazare to the next stage to maximize the development of what it calls “this particularly thick and large pay zone.” Royal will begin conducting simulation modelling and evaluate development scenarios based on multi-stage, multi-leg horizontal frac completions programs. Follow-on development of the Climax Nazare reservoir will depend on the results of these simulations but will likely include drilling and hydraulically fracturing multi-leg/multi-branch horizontal wells.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
John Styles, chair of Edge Engineering, and completions and production consultant to Royal said in a release, “The open hole, hydraulic fracture treatment on a 100-meter interval (vertical well) at Climax-4 in December 2021 performed better than projected. Royal’s next step in evaluating the potential of the unconventional Nazare play is to use the permeability, fracture conductivity and flow information gathered to use as inputs to into a three-dimensional finite element simulator to evaluate development scenarios based on horizontal drilling used in combination with multi-stage hydraulic fracture technology. The
plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
analogies for this unconventional play type include the low permeability Montney horizontal multi-stage frac gas plays in Northeast British Columbia/Western Alberta, now one of the largest developed natural gas fields in the world. The scenarios Royal plans to simulate will include variations on number of horizontal legs, leg length and number of stages for the hydraulic fracture treatment.”
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
Royal Helium president and CEO Andrew Davidson said, “Sampling grades of helium consistent with the current commercial production grades in Saskatchewan is a great development at Nazare where the pay zone is 10-20 times thicker than conventional helium reservoirs found to date. With these results in hand, we are excited to proceed to reservoir and production simulation modelling and look forward to the remarkable potential of drilling and developing the largest helium reservoir ever found in Saskatchewan. Along with the ongoing development of the Nazare, our crews and technical teams are also advancing the conventional helium reservoirs at Climax and Ogema and preparing for our spring drill program.”
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
Despite US$90 oil, Saskatchewan’s two largest oil producers have dramatically reduced drilling activity during what’s usually the busiest time of the year
ESTEVAN – February is typically the busiest month of the year for oilwell drilling in Saskatchewan, but the largest players have dramatically reduced their programs compared to previous years, even though oil prices are now in the US$90/bbl. range for benchmark West Texas Intermediate oil. According to Bloomberg, Western Canadian Select (WCS) was US$76.45/bbl. and WTI was US$89.50. Both benchmarks were very close to its highest points in at least 7.5 years.
Drilling rig counts are a key leading indicator of activity in the industry. You don’t frac a well, complete it, produce it, truck or flowline its product, or perform maintenance on it unless that well is drilled first.
According to RiggerTalk.com, publisher of the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC) rig data, as of Feb. 9, there were 31 drilling rigs working in Saskatchewan, either active or moving. The CAOEC website noted there were 226 active rigs in Canada. Alberta had 174, British Columbia had eight, Manitoba had six, and there were seven listed as “other.” There were 463 land-based drilling rigs registered across the country, a little over half of what it was a decade ago. Two offshore rigs were also listed.
Notably, Saskatchewan’s two largest oil producers, Cenovus Energy and Crescent Point Energy, have substantially diminished drilling programs compared to what they ran even during the darkest days of the oil downturn, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During the period of January 2015 to March, 2020, Crescent Point would frequently employ over 20 rigs in Saskatchewan around this time of year. Currently, they only have five, three in southeast Saskatchewan, and two in southwest Saskatchewan.
Last year Cenovus bought Husky Energy. Husky had historically been Saskatchewan’s largest oil producer for decades, used to run 10 or more rigs in northwest Saskatchewan prior to their shift away from cold heavy oil production with sand (CHOPS) and towards thermal development. However, prior to COVID, they would still typically run around six rigs in this time of year, drilling for their numerous thermal projects. Each of those cookie-cutter SAGD projects, all-in, cost between $250 and $350 million. With just one rig going, Cenovus has effectively paused most of its drilling development for much of the area, compared to Husky’s previous activity levels.
Rundown
In southeast Saskatchewan, 13 rigs were working. Adonai was working south of Carnduff. Spectrum was south of Oxbow. Tundra had one rig at Roche Percee. A cluster of rigs were working 10 kilometres east of Benson, at Woodley. They included Midale Petroleums, Surge, Aldon Oils and Whitecap Resources. Whitecap Resources also had rigs at Lampman and in the Weyburn Unit.
Allied Energy Corporation had a rig just west of the Weyburn Unit.
Crescent Point Energy Corp. had rigs at Forget, Viewfield and southeast of Ratcliffe.
Moving over to southwest Saskatchewan, Crescent Point also had two rigs in the region, with one north of Shaunavon and a second between Eastend and Frontier.
North American Helium showed a rig working southwest of Mankota. Weil Helium has an idle helium processing facility southeast of Mankota.
Whitecap also had a rig working due north of Gull Lake.
West Central Saskatchewan had 11 rigs going. Baytex had rigs at Elrose, south of Superb, Teine Energy had rigs at Plato, north of Kindersley, and Hoosier.
Whitecap had rigs working at Plenty, south of Dodsland, Strathcona Resources had one rig northwest of Kelfield.
Ish Energy had a rig working within spitting distance of the Kindersley weigh scales, west of Kindersley. Longshore Resources LTd. had a rig just south of Evesham.
Northwest Saskatchewan had just three rigs working. Baytex had one rig south of Maidstone, while Canadian Natural Resources had one rig northeast of Maidstone.
Cenovus, which bought Husky last year, had just one rig working south of Edam. During most of the oil downturn until 2020, Husky used to operate around six rigs in this region prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kindersley Klippers suffer weekend setback
BY JORDAN PARKER
After a significant turnaround, the Klippers dropped two of three games over the weekend.
It began with an 8-1 trouncing on Friday, February 11 by the first-place Estevan Bruins, followed by a rebounding 4-2 win against Weymouth before they lost 4-2 to Notre Dame on Sunday.
Assistant Coach Mitch Topinka says it wasn’t the weekend the team hoped for or expected.
“Friday we were truly hoping for a different outcome. It just seemed like the guys packed it in and accepted the loss before it even happened,” he said.
“There were some bounces that easily could have gone our way, but didn’t You have to hope you get those good bounces, and we really didn’t. The score wasn’t reflective of the game, but we also didn’t deserve to win.”
Saturday’s game was a different story. The team had a slow start, but then came back with four unanswered goals to win it.
“It was a bit of a pull-your-hair-out moment. This time of year we can’t afford games like that. Then we had a slow start Sunday, and ended up down. We battled back, but it was too big a hill,” he said.
They could have come out of the Notre Dame game five points ahead, but now find themselves battling just one point apart for the last playoff spot.
“It’s a bit disappointing. The team needs fire in their bellies. Once again we had a heck of a time with bad bounces,” he said. “It just
wasn’t a great weekend overall. We need to pull up our socks a little higher.”
In three games over the weekend, the Kindersley squad managed just one goal on 14 powerplays, the lone time they struck being against Estevan, during a game where they had eight man-advantage chances.
“They have a great penalty kill, but you need to bury those. I’ve been saying all year that they need that killer instinct. They just don’t have it,” he said.
“When you go up against the first-place team in their own barn, and you have eight powerplays, you need to put it away.”
The Estevan game also saw players Tylin Hilbig and captain Jaxon Georget sent into the dressing room in the final four minutes.
“Nothing against the officials, but there are calls that could have been made and this would have been done and over with. But
Georget got a cheap shot, and things went on,” said Topinka.
“Tylin had enough and stepped in. There was a big scrum in front of the bench. Ty took two guys, Georgey had one, and everyone else pair off.”
Forward Tylin Hilbig just wasn’t happy with the way the game was being played.
“One of their players took a baseball swing at Nathan DeGraves, and Jaxon and I stuck up for him. There was a little scrum, but that happens,” he said.
“It was a tough weekend. We had bad starts to all three games, and that hurt us. We need to start games on time.”
He says the powerplay – which he plays on – just has to do better in big situations.
“It’s gotten better, but we need to shoot more. We need to bang home rebounds. That’s when you score most. It’s when you’re shooting a lot,” he said.
“We were so in our own heads against Estevan. We knew they’d be hard to beat, but we didn’t come ready to compete.”
Topinka said the team is always out-of-thegate slow, and it’s been costing them.
“For the first ten minutes of every game, they just get outshot. It could be 13-2 on the shot counter because they don’t start on time. They usually turn it around after that,” he said.
“There isn’t much consistency there. But the guys are going to need to have a lot of focus down the stretch to achieve what they want.”
The Klippers will next play in Melfort at 7:30 p.m. On Friday, February 19.
