End of an Era
~ On May 28, 90% of the village of Blatten in Switzerland was buried after the Birch Glacier collapsed, the Associated Press reported. Rock and ice tumbled down the mountainside as predicted; the village had been evacuated of people and livestock earlier in May as a precaution. However, one 64-year-old man was missing after the avalanche. Police said the search-and-rescue operation to find him had been suspended on May 29 because of falling debris. Local officials said a lake is forming where the accumulated debris blocked the Lonza River; “The challenge lies in the behavior of this accumulation of water and the Lonza River, which could cause a torrential lava flow if the river flows into the deposit.”

The steward, however, realized that the hikers “were in an altered mental state,” and Praczkajlo escorted them to an ambulance.

~ Residents of one Cape Coral, Florida, community may want to start shout ing “Duck!” at their neighbors, Fox4-TV reported on May 23. That’s because an aggressive Muscovy duck is terrorizing them. James Sepulveda, who likes to catch sunsets from a chair on his front porch, said he had his eyes closed when, “All of a sudden, I felt a jab on my hand and it was bleeding.” The fowl has even tried to follow Sepulveda into his home. Another resident, Richard Guy, said, “I stood up and I made some noises ... Next thing I know, its wings come out, you know, like it’s going to attack me.” Sepulveda said he wants to “get rid of” the duck, but the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said the species is “protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.” As such, they have to be removed humanely or by “use of a firearm on private property during daylight hours with landowner permission.” That’ll work.

Regina Refinery at 90 and Devine’s Upgraders, Part 1
Editor’s note: In late June, Federated Co-operatives Limited will be celebrating the 90th anniversary of the Regina Refinery Complex. In September, 2022, Pipeline Online published a six-part series on the two Grant Devine-era heavy oil upgraders, and their lasting impact. One of those upgraders is an integral part of the Regina Refinery Complex, and thus, is a major part of the history of that refinery. To commemorate this momentous anniversary, Pipeline Online is republishing this series.
Part 1 of a 6-part series on the Grant Devine-era heavy oil upgraders, and their lasting impact. Originally published Sept 12, 2022.
If you had followed Saskatchewan politics in the 1990s, you would have thought the world was ending as a result of the Grant Devine Progressive Conservative government’s two signature megaprojects, the heavy oil upgraders in Lloydminster and Regina.
With oil price fluctuations dramatically hurting their economics, the Alberta government couldn’t abandon its investment in the Bi-Provincial Upgrader in Lloydminster fast enough, leaving Saskatchewan holding the bag and eventually selling it to Husky in 1998. Similarly, the NewGrade Upgrader in Regina was also wrought with financial and political peril.
These projects are featured in So Much More We Can Be: Saskatchewan’s Paradigm Shift and the Final Chapter on the Devine Government 19821991, by Edward Willett, Gerard Lucyshyn and Joseph Ralko. It was published this in 2021 by the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and just recently released on Amazon.ca. The FCPP asked if I would write about the impact of these upgraders, and I heartily agreed.
You see, six years ago, I ran into Grant Devine at a birthday party in Estevan. I told him then that those two upgraders ended up being the foundation upon which a large portion of the Saskatchewan oilpatch was now based. I had spent much of the previous decade writing about it.
Touchy subject
In Regina, the politics around what was originally known as the NewGrade Upgrader were in-
credibly toxic. In 2010, while doing a story on the expansion of the Regina refinery, I found that the “upgrader” was not a popular topic. It was now considered an integral part of the refinery complex, and that was it. It’s now known as “Section III”
It turns out that FCL had finally bought out the Saskatchewan government’s ownership stake in 2007, so maybe feelings were still a little raw in 2010.
And yet now, over 15 years after the dust around these two megaprojects finally settled, and after 14 years of reporting on Saskatchewan’s oil and gas sector, I can say without a doubt that they were fundamental building blocks for our economy and provincial finances today.
Both of these projects have had a direct impact in my own personal life.
When my stepfather started dating my mom in 1987, he was one of the thousands of workers building the Regina project. A heavy equipment serviceman, he did oil changes on the giant cranes. The brand-new Ford F-150 he paid off while working on that project was the truck in which I learned to drive stick shift.
In 2002, I spent a year working in the Lloydminster area heavy oil industry.
When I was recruited to become editor of Pipeline News in 2008, I initially covered the Lloydminster region. There, I got a decent grounding in the heavy oil industry.
Heavy oil, if only we could develop it
Heavy oil has long been known to be present in Lloydminster area, with the first oil well drilled in 1938. It was also known that the vast, vast majority of Saskatchewan’s undeveloped oil was heavy oil. By 2016 it was determined that we had around 32 billion barrels of it – five times more than the Bakken in North Dakota, but we could only recover about two per cent of it.
Indeed a 1973 paper by C.E Jameson in the Journal of Canadian Petroleum Technology called it “the vast Lloydminster field,” but went on to say, “The oil and reservoir characteristics make production of the oil difficult, with oil recoveries by primary or waterflood means very low. The highly viscous oil, coupled with the fine-grained, unconsolidated sandstone reservoir, results in high rates of sand production with the oil.”
Up until around 1982, the technology didn’t exist to truly take advantage of it. Conventional pumpjacks, the nodding donkeys known throughout the world as the symbol of oil production, basically don’t work with heavy oil, at least when it hasn’t been heated. That’s because the insert rod pumps at the bottom of the well “sand off” if the sand content is more than half of one per cent. Well, the Lloydminster region heavy oil is basically oilsands, but at a much deeper depth than what you find around Fort McMurray. It’s essentially an extension of the same formation, and that sand is loosely consolidated. When you pump anything out of those wells, you’re going to get sand. A lot of sand. Some wells have “sand cuts” of up to 30 per cent.
It wasn’t until the development of the progressing cavity (PC) pump in the early 1980s that the Lloydminster region had the technology to produce that heavy oil, and do so in a big way. These pumps turn what looks like a bumpy chrome auger in a tube lined with elastomer – essentially a type of rubber. And they could handle sand cuts of 30 per cent or more. I spent 2002 operating an excavator in
a sand retention pit, processing the sand that came out of some of these wells.
Instead of leaving the sand in the hole, the PC pump brought it to the surface. Doing so created channels underground known as wormholes, creating conduits for the heavy oil (and accompanying water) to flow to the well to be pumped out. This technology, known as CHOPS – cold heavy oil production with sand, absolutely revolutionized not only the region’s, but Saskatchewan’s oilpatch. Husky, by far the dominant oil producer in the region since the 1940s, became Saskatchewan’s largest oil producer for nearly all of the last 30 years. Over much of the last decade, just under one out of every two barrels produced in Saskatchewan was a heavy oil barrel, and one out of every four barrels came from Husky.
The problem with heavy oil is that it is so thick, it’s literally like molasses in January unless it is heated or diluted. Its viscosity means that it cannot be shipped via pipeline unless diluted with a much lighter hydrocarbon, known as condensate, acting as a diluent. That meant that in the CHOPS production zone around Lloydminster, most oil had to be shipped by truck. And you really couldn’t get it to market, unless you were turning it into asphalt. That was done at the Husky Asphalt refinery, where it was loaded onto truck and train as asphalt.
No, for heavy oil to be useful beyond asphalt, you had to process it, or upgrade it, to a thinner, lighter form of oil, known as synthetic crude, before you could further refine it into gasoline, diesel, or myriad other products.
And to do that, you need an upgrader. Or two.

Q:Is Garcelle Beauvais going to return to acting now that she’s leaving “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” or will she get her own reality show instead?
— T.O.
A:Garcelle
Beauvais recently extended her partnership with the Lifetime network to produce and star in more projects with them. Her “Black Girl Missing” franchise of TV movies with the network has been a huge success. Next up for her is“Taken at a Truck Stop: A Black Girl Missing Movie,” where she’ll play Kai — a truck driver who launches her own investigation after her neurodivergent niece is abducted by an online predator.
She’s also starring and producing in the next Terry McMillan project, titled “Tempted 2 Love,” a sequel to last year’s hit movie “Tempted By Love.” Beauvais will once again play a star chef, but this time she’s traveling to Ireland with her new flame only to bump into her much younger ex.
“I’m thrilled to continue telling stories that resonate deeply with audiences and put women — especially Black women — at the center,” said Beauvais. “Working with Lifetime has given me the opportunity to expand narratives that are heartfelt, suspenseful, and full of purpose. Both of these films are incredibly special to me, and I can’t wait for audiences to experience them.”
“Garcelle is an undeniable creative force whose passion for telling authentic, impactful stories continues to inspire our audiences,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and head of programming at A&E, Lifetime and LMN. “These new films not only deepen the emotional and cultural resonance of our programming but also reaffirm our shared commitment to championing diverse voices and stories that matter.” ***
Q:
What is Tara Reid doing since she made a comeback with the “Sharknado” movies? Does she have any other movies coming out?
— N.C.
A:Tara Reid’s career has unfortunately taken a dive since the 1990s, when she shot to stardom in movies like “American Pie,” “Cruel
Intentions,” and “The Big Lebowski.” She became tabloid fodder soon after for partying with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan. Her career fell into a slump until the campy TV movie “Sharknado” came out in 2013, which was followed by several sequels.
She told Variety that she’s now producing her own projects and currently has 12(!) titles in the works on her IMDb page, including “Hollywood Heist” with Alec Baldwin and Mickey Rourke.
***
Q:
What’s the latest on a third season of “Big Little Lies” being filmed? Is it hard to get the A-list cast together again? — K.S.
A:According to “Big Little Lies” creator David E. Kelley, “everyone” wants to do a new season of the HBO series, which is based on the novel by Liane Moriarty. Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Shailene Woodley are all eager to reprise their roles, and Morarity is in the midst of writing the novel on which the script will be based. I wouldn’t expect to see the finished product on-screen until mid to late 2026 or perhaps early 2027.

serve up a curious platter of watermelon sandwiches!
Here’s what you’ll need for 8 openfaced sandwiches:
— 4 ciabatta sandwich rolls, sliced in half
— 1 handful of fresh mint, stripped from the stems and chopped
— 1 8-ounce tube goat cheese
— 8 thin slices of chilled watermelon with seeds and rind removed
— Cracked pepper and salt to taste
Wind up Summer With a Watermelon Sandwich Surprise
CUSTOMER SERVICE: (800) 708-7311 EXT.
When Joani Deuel’s two grandkids Hunter and Parker came to visit in Dublin, California, they learned to expect the unexpected from a grandmother who absolutely loves to have a surprise up her sleeve. The latest caper appeared at lunchtime when she said, “Come and get your watermelon sandwiches!”
JUNE 16, 2025
“I didn’t think it was really true,” 12-year-old Hunter later told me. “Grandma invited us over for soup and sandwiches, but watermelon sandwiches? I was thinking grilled cheese.”
I tasted Joani’s talked-about creation on a recent visit to the West Coast, and just like her grandkids, I gave the innovative recipe an enthusiastic thumbs up. Served with zucchini soup and a simple bowl of fresh fruit topped with yogurt, these watermelon sandwiches were memorable and definitely worth repeating.
Now, back on my own turf in Minnesota, our family has already made watermelon sandwiches for our neighborhood National Night Out potluck and family suppers. I’ll also be serving them up next week for a get-together.
Try this simple, easy-to-prepare recipe with your kids, and get ready for surprised looks from your guests when you
Crumble cold goat cheese in a bowl. (It works best chilled.) Lightly combine with chopped mint. Brush both sides of the sliced ciabatta rolls and grill or toast lightly.
Spread the cheese and mint mixture on the cut side of each ciabatta half. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Cut watermelon slices in triangles and stack 2 triangles on each half.
For a fun twist, Joani suggests letting kids cut the watermelon into triangles with kitchen scissors instead of a knife. When assembled, you may wish to use the scissors to cut the sandwich in half again for smaller portions.

A man decides to buy two horses. When he brought them home he realized he needed some way to tell them apart. So he called his neighbour to help out.
The neighbor said, “You know, you could just snip a little bit of one horse’s tail and leave the other one’s intact, that way you can tell them apart by the length of the tail”.
The man liked that idea and he took some scissors and snipped a bit of the first horse’s tail. But the horse recoiled in pain and in a frenzy bit off the tip of the second horse’s tail. Now they both had shortened tails.
The two men looked and the neighbour got another idea: “If you just snip a bit of the first one’s ear, you could tell them apart that way”. So, the man took his scissors and snipped a little part of the first horse’s left ear but of course he began thrashing around and in a frenzy bit off a small part of the other horse’s left ear. The two men were really annoyed, but they wouldn’t give up.
“Alright, do the other ear, you could still tell them apart that way”. But sure as heck, as the man snipped the first horse’s other ear, he thrashed around in pain and bit off a bit of the second horse’s ear. They now both had snipped ears and tail.
As the two men looked intensely for ideas, the neighbour said: “Well, you know, I think you could tell them apart by height. The brown one is a bit taller than the white one”.
As a butcher is shooing away a dog from his shop, he sees a $25 bill and a note in his mouth, reading: “10 pork chops, please.”
Amazed, he takes the money, puts a bag of pork chops in the dog’s mouth, and quickly closes the shop.
He follows the dog and watches him wait for a green light, look both ways, and trot across the road to a bus stop. The dog checks the timetable and sits on the bench.
When a bus arrives, he walks around to the front and looks at the number, then boards the bus. The butcher follows, dumbstruck. As the bus travels out into the suburbs, the dog takes in the scenery. After a while he stands on his back paws to push the “stop” bell, then the butcher follows him off. The dog runs up to a house and drops his bag on the step. He goes back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself -WHAP!- against the door. He does this again and again. No answer. So he jumps on a wall, walks around the garden, beats his head against a window, jumps off, and waits at the front door. A big guy opens it and starts cursing and shouting at the dog.
The butcher runs up and screams at the guy: “What the heck are you doing? This dog’s a genius!” The owner responds, “Oh, you’d think! But it’s the second time this week he’s forgotten his keys!”
