Kindersley RCMP participated in Canada Road Safety Week last week to help encourage safe driving behaviours. Kindersley RCMP, in partnership with Rosetown RCMP, conducted several check stops over the long weekend. The focus of this initiative is to educate drivers on the four main areas that are present in the majority of fatal collisions. These include distracted driving, aggressive driving, deterring impaired drivers and encouraging drivers to use their seatbelts.
In addition to this past week’s road safety campaign, Kindersley RCMP responded to a further 37 calls for service from May 16th to 22nd which included, but was not limited to, two 911 calls, three suspicious persons calls, and one assault investigation.
If you need to report any suspicious activity in your community, please contact the Kindersley RCMP detachment by calling 306-463-4642 or their local police service. Information can also be provided anonymously
through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
Want to help your local RCMP investigate crimes and keep your community safe? Voluntarily register your business or home security camera at: saskcapturecw.ca.

* On June 6, 1683, the Ashmolean, the world’s first university museum, opens in Oxford, England. Today, the collection at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology ranges in time from the earliest implements of man, made about 500,000 years ago, to 20th century works of art.
* On June 10, 1692, in Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bridget Bishop, the first colonist to be tried in the Salem witch trials, is hanged after being found guilty of the practice of witchcraft. The witch trials, which resulted in the executions of 19 innocent women and men, ended in October.
* On June 9, 1893, the interior of Ford’s Theatre collapses when a basement pier gives way, killing 23 people. The building -- where President Lincoln was assassinated -- housed hundreds of government clerks.
* On June 8, 1968, James Earl Ray is arrested in London, England, and charged with the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. In 1969, Ray pleaded guilty to King’s murder. Three days later, he attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming he had been set up as a patsy in a larger conspiracy.

BRIGHT IDEA
For Alexander Leszczynski, 22, of North Redington Beach, Florida, it wasn’t enough to be charged with wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering, the Tampa Bay Times reported. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Tampa claimed Leszczynski might face up to 30 years in prison for making up charitable entities to receive Payroll Protection Plan loans totaling almost $200,000 and trying to deposit fake checks to the tune of $2.7 million, among other schemes. But wait, there’s more! “When he discovered that the money had been frozen, he attempted to have it released by producing a fabricated pardon purportedly signed by former President Donald Trump,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release. One of Leszczynski’s fake charities was trying to seize control of two properties that belonged to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier who died in prison while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Leszczynski is being held without bail at the Pinellas County Jail.
CROTCH SHOT
Kingsland, Arkansas, about 70 miles south of Little Rock, is the birthplace of Johnny Cash, and the town has honored him with a silhouette of the Man in Black on its water tower, The Wichita Eagle reported. But when Betty Graham, water office manager, arrived at her office early on May 11, she noticed what she first thought was a leak from the tower. Later she realized a sharpshooter had hit the tank right at Cash’s sweet spot, creating the illusion that the famous singer is relieving himself. Graham said it could take at least a week to repair the damage; in the meantime, comments on a local Facebook page ranged from “would be a better tourist attraction than Old Faithful” to “Someone here knows who did this. I hope they’ll come forward and turn the vandal in.” “People think it’s funny, but a lot of hard work and effort went into getting the grant to get this painted,” Graham said.

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year Grant Fagerheim
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
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.
Five years ago, Estevan’s Grant Fagerheim, of Whitecap Resources Inc., was inducted into the Saskatchewan Petroleum Industry Hall of Fame. Today he is Saskatchewan’s Oilman of the Year.
Grant Fagerheim is president and chief executive officer of Whitecap Resources Inc. He has worked and served as a director in both the upstream and downstream segments of the energy industry over his 30+ year career in the energy sector. He was founder of Ketch Energy Ltd., Ketch Resources Ltd. and Kereco Energy Ltd. (Cadence).
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.”
Grant was born and raised in Estevan, where his father worked in the coal industry and his mother was a long-serving nurse. Grant left home in 1977 to pursue his passion for hockey. He attended, played hockey and graduated from the University of Calgary.
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.
“Hockey has always been my passion and it’s a passion I’ve carried forward into my approach to business. Whether in business or in sports, I’ve always focused on building teams. Each iteration of my ventures in the energy sector has focused on assembling strong teams, durable assets and a plan to create longterm value for shareholders.” Grant says.
Grant had various roles in the energy sector up until April 2000 when he was recruited to take the reins as President and CEO of the first Ketch Energy growth company.
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
Grant founded Whitecap in the fall of 2009 with a capitalization of $46 million, initially producing around 850 barrels a day. Today, the company is worth over $6.5 billion

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.
and produces just over 130,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, almost half of that in this province. Both the market capitalization and production numbers have doubled in the last four years. Whitecap is now one of the largest producers in Saskatchewan and in the Canadian energy sector.
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.
Whitecap, through its counter-cyclical foresight, has enjoyed success in spite of the downturn in the industry that lasted seven years.
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.
“We have maintained a cautious level of debt which has served us well as when the downturn hit, we had the resources to pursue consolidation opportunities. You have to enjoy the thrill of the hunt in this game while ensuring strong returns to shareholders,” Grant commented.
“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.
Whitecap has been successful in that hunt. The company purchased the operating control of the Weyburn Unit from Cenovus. That has led to Whitecap becoming a net-zero oil producer, storing more CO2 than its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
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.
Since the start of 2020 the company purchased NAL Resources Limited, TORC Oil & Gas Ltd., Kicking Horse Oil & Gas Ltd., Highrock Resources Ltd., and TimberRock Energy Corp., as well as certain assets in the Kindersley and central Alberta areas.
Grant has been an outspoken advocate for the oil industry as well as energy transformation including greenhouse gas reduction initiatives, with his company putting its money where its mouth is.

For outstanding contributions to the petroleum industry in Saskatchewan and Canada, Grant Fagerheim is Saskatchewan’s Oilman of the Year. You can attend the awards ceremony on June 1 at the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show. Tickets are available at oilshow.ca.
The fall of 2021 saw Whitecap announce it was working with Federated Co-operatives Limited to develop the next major carbon dioxide initiative in this province – a carbon capture hub. When it goes ahead, CO2 will soon be captured at the FCL refinery and ethanol plant; as well, plans are underway for CO2 capture from several other large industrial emitters in the area. This captured CO2 will be pipelined to the Weyburn Unit for enhanced oil recovery or into a saline aquifer for longterm storage. This could ultimately result in a larger hydrogen hub in the province in the not-too-distant future.
In his personal time, Grant enjoys playing oldtimer hockey and contributing to a variety of corporate and charitable boards. He has served as chairman of the Edge School for Athletes in Calgary. He has been a director of the Hockey Canada Foundation since January 2008, has served as chairman of the Foundation and was also a member of the Order of Hockey Canada executive committee. In recognition for his contributions to Canada he was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal created in 2012 to honour the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
In 2017, Grant was inducted into the Saskatchewan Petroleum Industry Hall of Fame.
Grant and his wife Penny have two sons, Brandon and Brett. He keeps up active contact with his family and friends in Saskatchewan, especially with his sister and brother-in-law in Regina.

Besides sharpening geography skills, this good-for-you fish — rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals — is also super easy to prepare.
All this makes a family hungry!
Here's our favorite recipe, made with a sweet honey glaze that young sous chefs can stir up. Top with chopped nuts or herbs from your garden, and roast in a hot oven while the table is being set, napkins are slipped into
rings and beverages are poured.
HONEY-GLAZED
SALMON FILLETS
4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
Salt, to taste
4 tablespoons chopped pecans
OR 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary and 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
2 lemons, cut into wedges or thin slices
1. Preheat oven to 425 F.
2. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray
3. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with salt.
4. Pour olive oil and honey into a small bowl, and stir to combine well. Spoon the mixture generously over fillets. Press nuts on top or sprinkle with herbs.
5. Bake in oven until completely cooked through, about 10-15 minutes, or until fish flakes readily with tip of a fork. Use spatula to transfer to dinner plates.
6. Serve hot over salad greens that have been tossed with a light vinaigrette and topped with thin lemon slices, or set a lemon wedge to the side. Serves 4.
TIP: As summer approaches, serve with fresh grilled peaches for a tasty, sweet, modern side.
To prepare, cut two almost-ripe peaches in half. Let kids remove the pits and brush the cut sides with the honey-olive oil mixture before coating the salmon. Spray a grill pan with cooking spray, and place halves cut-side down on medium heat on your stove for 5 to 7 minutes, or until grill marks appear. Flip over to rounded side for an additional minute. Set on dinner plates with salmon and salad.
Heart-healthy salmon topped with a sweet honey glaze will become a family favorite.
HOLLYWOOD — Has James Bond bombed? When you’ve made five James Bond films (collectively grossing $3 billion), you must believe you can do anything. Daniel Craig, now 54, must have felt he needed to drastically change his career direction now that he’s no longer 007. Why he chose Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” post-Bond, must be because of director Sam Gold, who promised this Broadway production would be innovative and different. In view of Denzel Washington’s Oscar nomination for HIS “Macbeth” film, it was a gutsy decision for Craig.
However, critics were waiting with their little hatchets! One called the production “uninvolving, ponderous and a real blunderball.” His leading lady, Ruth Negga as Lady Macbeth, came off much better, and critics proclaimed, “She stole the show with her mellifluous voice and the requisite intensity for the woman plotting to kill King Duncan!”
Barbara Broccoli, Bond films producer, produced this show, but admits she’s still searching for the next 007. Her short list has Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba and “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi, who’s Australian, 6-foot-5 and just turning 25. He’s no stranger to sequels; he starred in “The Kissing Booth 1, 2 and 3.” Craig’s not crying, however; he got a $100 million paycheck to reprise his role as Detective Benoit Blanc in a pair of “Knives Out” sequels.
***
Not on any Bond list is 38-year-old Chris Hemsworth, 6-foot-3 and built better than Craig. Hemsworth has completed two Netflix films, the sci-fi thriller “Spiderhead,” with Miles Teller, and a sequel to the action thriller “Extraction.” He’s also prepping the $65 million “Furiosa,” a “Mad Max” prequel, for a May 2024 release. But first we’ll see “Thor: Love and Thunder,” premiering July 8.
I caught “The Batman” on HBO Max and was pleasantly surprised how perfectly suited Robert Pattinson is in the title role, and how entertaining and

compelling the film is. We’re looking forward to his next two “Batman” films!

The music world is going out of its mind because of an upcoming auction of a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin reputed to have been used to create the Oscar-winning score of “The Wizard of Oz.” The Rolls Royce of violins is expected to bring a winning bid of up to $20 million.
The Stradivarius belonged to Odessa-born Toscha Seidel (1899-1962), considered one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century. Seidel used his violin to play on the scores of two other MGM films: “The Great Waltz” (1938), with Louise Rainer and Miliza Korjus, and “Intermezzo” (1939), with Ingrid Bergman and Leslie Howard. Though there are still about 600 Stradivarius violins worldwide, one sold in 2011 for $15.9 million.
Seidel once gave violin instruction to Albert Einstein, who paid him with a sketch reportedly diagramming his theory of relativity. What the heck might that be worth?
