Curling Leagues starting up

The Kindersley Curling Club is sweeping in a new season, and the club’s communications member, Jacquie Armitage, is getting the word out. The curling club is offering four leagues starting the week of November 7th. Monday night is men’s/open league, and Wednesday afternoon and evening is open. A new 6-4-6 league is being offered Thursday nights.

This new format has been very successful in other curling clubs in Saskatchewan and is perfect for teams that only want to commit to part of the curling season. According to Jacquie, it’s also a good fit for beginner curlers who are looking to socialize and have fun.

This six-week league is offered three times during the curling season. You simply submit a team of four and play six ends, ending the night with one free drink per player upstairs in the lounge!

The club is also offering free curling during the week of November 3rd to 6th, with more details to follow.

Remember to mark November 22nd on your calendars. That’s the night of the club’s annual general meeting, which starts at 7:00 p.m. in the curling rink lounge. Committee reports and the club’s audited financial statements will be given, and elections for new Board members will take place.

Kindersley Curling Club is looking for new Board members this year. “Currently, we have eleven Board members, and we are hoping to recruit three new members to take over positions of our long-serving members potentially,” Jacquie said. As an incentive, all Board members will receive a 50 percent discount on their annual curling fees! It’s a perfect opportunity to help out and have fun!

* On Nov. 14, 1889, journalist Nellie Bly took a page from Jules Verne’s novel “Around the World in 80 Days” by following in the footsteps of the book’s protagonist, Phileas Fogg, and embarked on her own adventure, starting in Hoboken, New Jersey. She chronicled the trip in her book “Around the World in 72 Days.”

On Nov. 15, 1949, Nathuram Godse, Narayan Apte and six of their co-conspirators in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi were hanged at the Ambala jail. Godse, unhappy over Gandhi’s accommodation of Indian Muslims, had shot Gandhi the previous January while Gandhi was out for his evening prayers.

Their unsurprising lack of enthusiasm shelved the project for nearly a decade.

CELEBRITY EXTRA #12345_20221031

FOR RELEASE OCT. 31, 2022

Q:I’m really enjoying the new show “Fire Country.” However, I always worry that a show I invest my time in will be canceled. How is this one doing with its ratings? — U.T.

A:CBSrecently ordered full seasons for three of its new series:

“East New York,” “So Help Me Todd,” and “Fire Country,” so that should give you a vote of confidence. According to TVLine.com, the network didn’t announce specifically what constitutes a “full season” for these particular shows, but I would say it stands a very good chance of being renewed for its second season as well.

TRAILERS INC.

“Fire Country” stars Max Thieriot (“SEAL Team”) as a recently released prison inmate fighting brush fires out west. It had the highest-rated season premiere this fall for a network television show. It also airs on Friday nights, which is not an ideal time slot, since people not only have a lot of options for entertainment as the weekend approaches. But with more than 8 million viewers tuning in, I would call it a win for CBS.

Thieriot himself has a lot invested in his new series, as he’s not just starring in it, but he also co-created the series with producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Thieriot’s interest behind the camera began with directing an episode of “Bates Motel,” a series on A&E starring Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore. Thieriot played Dylan, the half-brother of the infamous Norman Bates. He then went on to direct a couple episodes of “SEAL Team.” ***

Another tragedy struck the families of the History Channel when Darrell Ward of the “Ice Road Truckers” fame died in a plane crash, also in 2016. He was piloting a single-engine Cessna on the way back from a fan event in Dallas when it crashed in Montana. Ironically, just before his death, he was set to start filming a new documentary series about plane wreckage locations.

***

Q:I think Niecy Nash is fantastic in “The Rookie.” What else has she been in? — L.P.

Q:

Could you give me some information on Gabe Rygaard from “Ax Men” and Darrell Ward from “Ice Road Truckers?” — S.W.

A:Gabe Rygaard was the owner of Rygaard Logging after his father, Craig, retired at the end of season six of the reality series “Ax Men.” Sadly, Rygaard died in a car accident in 2016 in Washington, where he lived. “Ax Men” aired on the History channel for 10 seasons. Rygaard’s death occurred after filming was completed for the ninth season. After a three-year hiatus, the show returned for just one more season.

A:Niecy Nash has been acting on screen since the mid-1990s, but it was her hilarious role in the ensemble comedy “Reno 911!” that put her on the map. Since then, she’s effortlessly switched from comedy to drama in memorable lead and supporting roles, including two limited series on Netflix: “When They See Us” and “Dahmer — Monster.”

Nash is no doubt thrilled to learn that ABC just renewed “The Rookie: Feds” for a total of 22 episodes this season.

“Our natural resources are one of the major reasons why Saskatchewan is weathering the economic, recessionary storm being experienced elsewhere. But economic success, and strength, don’t just happen by accident. They happen when regulatory and royalty structures are strong, competitive and transparent.

way to the Supreme Court of Canada, where Saskatchewan and its allied provinces lost.

With regards to federal legal challenges of this move, Eyre said, “Reasserting our specific jurisdiction under the Constitution, legally, there is a weight to that. It is not merely symbolic.”

“There’s federal exclusive jurisdiction, and there’s also provincial. That’s part of being part of this wonderful, crazy patchwork that we call Canada.”

Saskatchewan First Act introduced to literally keep the lights on in this province, and allow farmers to keep using nitrogen fertilizer

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

She continued, “The economic success that Saskatchewan has achieved has been despite of federal policies that have done real economic harm—and risk doing much more.

“Amending our constitution, as Quebec did, as the prime minister said it was within the powers of provinces to do, and enumerating our core provincial powers. in other words, only those that relate specifically to Saskatchewan, we believe will have real, practical, and legal effect and weight in the future,” Eyre said.

What we’re going to do about it

Mitch McAdam, the director of the constitutional law branch, said, “These amendments don’t purport to change the division of powers between the federal and provincial government. That’s still something that is up to the courts to determine.

REGINA – Thou shalt not use coal for power generation post-2030, the federal government hath said. And it’s moving to do the same with natural gas by 2035. It also wants to limit farmers’ fertilizer usage, all in the name of climate change policies.

gas. On Oct. 3, 84 per cent of SaskPower’s generation came from natural gas and coal – an even split between the two.

Using the federal carbon tax as an example, she said Saskatchewan agricultural producers will be paying $28 million a year in carbon tax for grain drying alone by 2030. And the Clean Fuel Standard will have a $700 million per year impact on gasoline and diesel consumption.

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.

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.

On Nov. 1, the Province of Saskatchewan said, “To hell with that,” but in a more sophisticated, legal manner. Saskatchewan threw down the gauntlet with the federal government on Nov. 1, introducing Bill No. 88, The Saskatchewan First Act. If implemented in its current form, the Act basically says Saskatchewan will make its own decisions and rules on environmental standards, particularly those applying to greenhouse gas emissions and power generation.

“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.”

And that bill says Saskatchewan will decide for itself the “regulation of environmental standards and the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and other emissions; and the source of fuel for electrical generation, including renewable and non-renewable resources.”

The earliest SaskPower currently thinks it could get a singular nuclear reactor online would be 2035.

Fertilizer emissions

All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.

Additionally, The Saskatchewan First Act says Saskatchewan will take care of its own “regulation of fertilizer use in Saskatchewan, including application, production, quantities and emissions.”

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.

This is in response to recent federal moves to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from nitrogen fertilizer, a crucial fertilizer for most crops. These acts have raised considerable alarm in the agricultural industry.

The Saskatchewan First Act would establish an “Economic Impact Assessment Tribunal” for the purpose of conducting economic assessments of federal initiatives. Those are defined as “a federal law or policy that may have an economic impact on a project, operation, activity, industry, business or resident in Saskatchewan.”

This is in clear opposition to federal standards when it comes to coal-fired power generation, and the upcoming federal Clean Electricity Standard, which is currently being developed. That standard would not only cut off coal-fired power production, but also natural gas-fired power, too.

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.

The discussion paper on it states in its definitions, “Net-zero electricity means Canada’s stated goal of having the electricity sector achieve, in effect, no emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by 2035, or emissions are offset by other actions that remove carbon from the atmosphere.” It adds, “In realizing this goal, it is expected that some low-emitting generation facilities may continue to operate past 2035. The emissions resulting from this operation would need to be balanced by removals in or attributed to the sector.”

The Clean Electricity Standard, if implemented, would effectively mean turning off the lights in Saskatchewan in 12 years. According daily postings on SaskPower’s Where Your Power Comes From webpage, on any particular day, coal and natural gas account for 65 to 84 per cent of Saskatchewan’s power generation, but usually it’s in the mid-70s. On Oct. 30, it was 73 per cent, with 2,167 of 2,992 megawatts coming from coal and natural

Drawing the Line

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.

The Saskatchewan First Act stems from the white paper released by Premier Scott Moe on Oct. 11. It was entitled “Drawing the Line: “Defending Saskatchewan’s Economic Autonomy.” The white paper was a not-sosubtle shot across the bow from Moe’s Saskatchewan Party government to the Justin Trudeau-led federal Liberal government.

“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.

Eyre leads the charge

That white paper laid out the case that federal environmental policies, in the name of preventing anthropogenic (manmade) climate change, would effectively bankrupt this province and severely impact its principle industries and power production. In it, Saskatchewan makes the case that if nine federal initiatives related to climate change are implemented, it could cost Saskatchewan as much as $111 billion dollars by 2035. And that doesn’t even include the Clean Electricity Standard. Moe discussed the white paper in depth in this interview with Pipeline Online.

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.

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 plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.

Saskatchewan Justice Minister and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre is leading the file. She has a deep understanding of the energy issue, having just come off a four-year stint as Minister of Energy and Resources.

Eyre said on Nov. 1, “At its root, this bill asserts Saskatchewan’s exclusive—exclusive—jurisdiction over natural resources, which we must protect.

Eyre said, “Businesses don’t get rebates. Those who don’t file taxes don’t get rebates. The federal government is withholding hundreds of millions from SaskPower in carbon tax–which it could use to invest in renewables and power security right here in Saskatchewan.

“And don’t forget: this past January, the federal Parliamentary Budget Officer found that the carbon tax has left at least 60 per cent of Canadian households financially burdened.”

She added, “This bill will create the framework to define, address and quantify economic harm. Because that harm is real. And is being perpetrated on just one region.

“We are tired of the condescension. Of the double standards. And, frankly, of the contempt.

Cabinet could refer a federal initiative for assessment if, in its opinion “a federal initiative will cause economic harm to Saskatchewan.”

In other words, Saskatchewan will take a hard look at federal initiatives that hurt this province, and do something about them, implying some form of provincial veto overriding those federal initiatives.

Eyre explained, “We feel that it is important to define these policies through the prism of economic harm. It’s about protecting our economy and our way of life while we work to solutions.

“All of our mandates and emissions in terms of provincially cutting emissions, that’s all still on the books of course. The point is though, that where there is direct infringement on our exclusive jurisdiction, we do feel that it’s important to formally now draw the line.”

According to Eyre, the tribunal will only be used on a case-by-case basis. Its reports will be available publicly.

No time wasted in response

The tribunal will be able to draw on provincial resources and will have all the powers conferred on a commission by The Public Inquiries Act, 2013. It can also engage legal counsel, consultants and technical advisors as needed.

The Saskatchewan First Act contains clauses regarding immunity of the Crown in the right of Saskatchewan, as well as the ability to make regulations with regards to its implementation.

It’s about economic harm

“This isn’t about fed-bashing for kicks,” Eyre said. “This is about quantifying, assessing and defining economic harm. It’s about our place in this federation.”

She noted, “Far from this bill being unpatriotic,’ as some have suggested, would counter:

“It is not unpatriotic to ask for a fair deal?

“To rely on the strict interpretation of the division of powers under the constitution?

“And to ask that the federal government be an honorable partner.

“That, to me, defines being Canadian.

“We do not relish being here. But this is where we are.”

It then states, “Saskatchewan is and always has been dependent on agriculture, and on the development of its non-renewable natural resources, forestry resources and electrical energy generation and production.”

Farm ~ Oilfield ~ Industrial ~ Residential ~ Commercial

Any referral would be served on the federal government within seven days, and should be considered by the tribunal as soon as practicable, but no later than 90 days. Its assessment would then be reported and recommended to the minister.

Eyre noted Quebec has dared to take certain powers which it has demanded constitutionally. “Today in Saskatchewan, we choose to dare to assert what is ours, under the constitution.”

Finally, the amendment says, “Saskatchewan’s ability to control the development of its non-renewable natural resources, its forestry resources and its electrical energy generation and production is critical to the future wellbeing and prosperity of Saskatchewan and its people.”
