Kindersley RCMP remind everyone to stay safe on Halloween

With Halloween approaching this Sunday the Kindersley RCMP want to make sure that everyone has a safe Halloween and are offering these trick-or-treat tips:

Make sure your costume is spooky AND safe: Wear well-fitting costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision and falls.

Here’s a bright idea: Wear reflective tape on your costume or carry a flashlight. This way you’re visible to drivers!

Use the buddy system: Travel in groups of four or more. Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.

Check your loot: Have an adult sort and check candy for signs of tampering, allergies and expiration dates.

Drivers take a little extra caution and keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters that may be running onto the roads.

Between October 17th to October 25th, 2021, Kindersley RCMP responded to 40 calls for service*. These calls included, but were not limited to, 2 traffic collisions, 1 abandoned vehicle and 2 wellbeing checks.

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 1800222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Financial matters could create some confusion, especially with a torrent of advice pouring in from several sources. Resist acting on emotion and wait for the facts to emerge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That goal you’ve set is still in sight and is still in reach. Stay with the course that you’re on. Making too many shifts in direction now could create another set of problems.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It might be time to confront a trouble-making associate and demand some answers. But be prepared for some surprises that could lead you to make a change in some long-standing plans.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stronger planetary influences indicate a growing presence of people eager to help you navigate through the rough seas that might mark your career course.

“The Best Little Drycleaners Close To Home”

Mike & Arlene Hankewich

There is a restaurant that advertises that it will serve you anything you want, but if they can’t, then they will gift you $5000 as an apology.

A man passing by sees this message advertised at the entrance, and believes this to be untrue, but decides to try it out anyway.

He enters and a waiter takes him to a table. The waiter asks, “What would you like to eat today, sir?”

Man: “I would like an elephant’s ear and a muffin to eat, please”

Waiter: “Give us just a moment.” The waiter leaves to the kitchen.

As a few minutes pass by; the man believes he’s going to get an easy $5000 as he thinks they are taking too long and probably preparing something else. At this moment, the waiter returns.

Appearing a little anxious, the waiter asks, “Apologies sir, but do you mind telling me what kind of elephant you want this ear from?”

We sometimes take English for granted, but if we examine its paradoxes we find that:

Quicksand Takes You Down Slowly

Boxing Rings Are Square

And A Guinea Pig Is Neither From Guinea Nor Is It A Pig.

The man is stunned. He didn’t think they’d get to this moment.

Man: “Uhhh......An Indian elephant is fine.”

Waiter: “Thank you.” The waiter goes back to the kitchen.

1 minute later, the waiter returns again. Waiter: “And which side did you want the ear from?”

The man is starting to sweat bullets at this point.

Man: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......... Left ear, i guess........”

Waiter: “Splendid.” The waiter leaves to the kitchen yet again.

The man is scared as he has no idea how much this ear is going to blast away his wallet.

5 minutes later, the waiter comes back with a platter of food and $5000 for the man.

Waiter: “Here is your order sir. Sorry, but we are out of muffins for today.”

Awaken Body Piercing

605 Main Street. Now why does that number sound familiar? Of course! That’s the home of Awaken Body Piercing Studio owned and run by Misty and Chris Green. Need a piercing? They do that! Need some jewellery? They carry that too! Awaken opened up on November 1st 2020 and they got the go-ahead from the Health dept. to do piercings on the 15th. When asked why they decided to open up their specialty business, Misty said “ We wanted to bring a business to Kindersley that wasn’t here”.

Business has been steady but Misty and Chris continue to work at outside jobs to help make ends meet. Chris works for ISH and Misty is at the Travel Lodge. I asked Chris, which is pierced more? Ears or nose? Believe it or not, Chris said it can be a toss-up. Some weeks we do more ears and other weeks more noses. They also do piercings to other body

parts but you will have to ask them about that! I asked them also what was their motivation to opening a body piercing studio? Seems that they like working together and this is the perfect way to do it. Both have done courses for piercing so everything is done properly and the whole shop is certified, sanitized and safe. For some reason they seem to get a lot of calls for tattoos (which they don’t do) so people get referred over to Dane at 13th Moon. And 13th Moon gets calls for piercing so they reciprocate and help each other out and refer customers to each other. That’s a very symbiotic relationship!!

There is also an adult store inside Awaken and that is something else that wasn’t available to the people of Kindersley and area. It is very private and there is no need to feel embarrassed or shy. They will offer to have private “shopping” after hours if you are so inclined.

Misty is from Nova Scotia and has made Kindersley her home for the past 14 years. Chris is from Saskatoon and has also settled down here. Because of all the hours they both work, Chris said sometimes the yard work suffers!

All in all, Awaken Body Piercing is a very relaxing place to be in. Soothing music and a calming decor puts you at ease if your visit there is your first. Both Misty and Chris are professional in their manner and procedures. They understand how to treat people and discuss and help people with their decisions about piercings. They are now branching out into jewellery and doing repairs (watch batteries, etc). They know they need to be adaptable to what their clients want!

Royal Helium to begin southeast Sask. drilling program at Ogema

By Brian Zinchuk

SASKATOON – After punching holes near Climax, Sask., Royal Helium Ltd. is shifting its helium drilling program to southeast Saskatchewan.

On Oct. 26, Royal announced that licenses and permits have been received for its first helium well on the Ogema block which is scheduled to spud on Nov. 1.

looks now, we don’t think it needs a full frack. It’s so naturally fractured, it may just need to be pressured up to make those natural fracs refracture, for lack of a better term.”

He said they’re approaching this the same as unlocking a large reservoir, “just looking for a solution to get it all. We’ve got the right people doing it. They’re doing the work on it. We’re pretty confident we’ll get it. That’s still a few weeks away, before we’re back there, doing it.”

Celebrating 25 Years in business

Weyburn-based Panther Drilling’s Rig 4 is now mobilizing to Ogema-1, located approximately 80 kilometres west of Weyburn. Once Ogema-1 drilling is completed, the rig will move to Ogema-2, which currently being licensed, and permitted. While helium development has occurred in the Mankota area and throughout southwest Saskatchewan, Ogema is the first helium-specific drilling program to ever be conducted in southeast Saskatchewan. Royal said it has some of the highest historic helium gas shows tested in the province.

Royal said the completions plan in southwest Saskatchewan for Climax/Nazare is well underway with its engineering and completions group collaborating on the production plan for the Climax area. Royal dubbed the target formation “Nazare” this past summer.

Two additional production wells at Climax are being licensed and permitted with the specifics of these development wells to be determined by the completions program which will be announced once finalized.

President and CEO Andrew Davidson spoke to Pipeline Online on Oct. 26 by phone. He said recently they’ve been mostly dealing with laboratories, determining how they are going to do completions on their Climax wells. He said there will be “another week or so of debating between the various groups, the rock mechanics and frack experts. But the way it

Ogema

first

In the southeast, they have 3D seismic at Ogema, and 2D at Bengough, in addition to an extensive aeromagnetic survey done through the region this past summer. Davidson said it was, “the same sort of seismic we had over at Climax, which was all 2D.

“That’s our recipe for how we identify these plays – a combination of aeromagnetic and seismic. It’s the exact same story, here.”

The drilling is at Ogema was meant to be this week, but Davidson said it’s been pouring rain there, so lease construction has been delayed.

“Everything’s ready to go. That Panther Rig has been fitted with a top drive,” he said. That, in turn, allows greater speed and pullback in drilling.

Same target, half a province away

Davidson said, “We are targeting the same zone that we have in Climax. You can trace it all the way over there.

“The offset to this specific well, has the second highest helium cut in Saskatchewan, at under 2.45 per cent,” Anderson said.

The original plan was to go to Bengough, but as they will be drilling in the PFRA pasture, there’s a few more permitting hurdles. Thus, there’s a change in plans, and two wells are going to be drilled near Ogema.

“Ogema took its spot. We’ve got our workflow lined up now for the rest of the year. It’ll be drill two at Ogema, then move back to Climax and drill two more there. Once we’re done that, we should have everything in place for Bengough,” he said.

“The government’s been good. We’re not having any issues. They’ve laid out the process, and now we’re just following them.”

The two Bengough wells will likely take them to spring break-up.

Steve Halabura, vice president exploration for Royal, said in a release, “Our initial well at the Ogema project represents the culmination of years of geological and geophysical review. We are excited to begin drilling in southeast Saskatchewan, where we will be applying some of the novel geological information from our Nazare discovery in southwest Saskatchewan to the eastern portion of the province. For Climax, we are working closely with our third-party consultants and the data from Climax-4 and because of its size, are now looking beyond conventional completion toward a multiple vertical and horizontal well development program for Climax/Nazare.”

Commercialization

Davidson said, “So what’s going be happening in the interim? We’ll be into commercialization discussions, right? So we’ve got groups that want to offtake helium from us. So, we’ll be moving our plants to site at Climax, presumably and potentially Ogema, as well.

“Once we’re done drilling, we’ll move straight into commercialization,” he said, adding they’ll soon move in processors to Climax to start processing gas.

There are more suppliers than you think,” he said about helium processing facilities, such as small-scale mobile separators. “It’s

not off the shelf, but not that far from it. All you need to do, really, is prove you have gas flow, for one; once you have the flow rates, the pressures, the composition of the gas, most of which we have, and the rest of which we’ll have when we’re done at Climax.”

“We think, on a test basis, we’ll be flowing helium by the end of the year. In terms of full-scale operations next year, early next year would be a good estimate,” Davidson said.

The provincial royalty rate for helium is 4.25 per cent off the sales price, he explained.

Team addition

Additionally, Royal announced the addition of Dr. Robert R. Stewart to the technical team. Stewart is a professor of geophysics at the University of Houston, where he holds the Cullen Chair in Exploration Geophysics and is also the Director of the Allied Geophysical Laboratories. Stewart holds a B.Sc. in math and physics from the University of Toronto and a Ph.D. in geophysics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Prior to the University of Houston, Stewart held various roles with Chevron’s Oil Field Research Lab, ARCO and Veritas Software.

Davidson said, “The addition of Dr. Stewart to our technical team is a significant step towards the ongoing success of the company. His long track record in exploration geophysics will be crucial as we continue exploration efforts in Saskatchewan. The ability to efficiently pinpoint the Nazare formation from existing seismic will be critical to the ongoing development at Climax and surrounding project areas. Rob’s experience interpreting geophysics is second to none.”

Stir Up Gooey Goop for Halloween Fun

Kids everywhere love just about anything that's gooey, slithery and slimy. That's probably why this recipe for "gooey goop" is such a crowd pleaser when you get together with friends, especially at a Halloween party. It's quick, easy and creates lots of laughter. What could be better?

Here's what you'll need:

8 ounce bottle of white house hold glue such as Elmer's 8 ounces water

Poster paint or food coloring (optional)

Small mixing bowl

Large mixing bowl

1 cup warm water

1½ teaspoons borax powder (available in the laundry detergent section of larger supermarkets)

Here's the fun:

1. Squeeze the entire bottle of glue into a big bowl. Then fill the empty 8-ounce glue bottle with water and add to the glue. Stir a lot while adding several drops of poster paint or food coloring. Mix colors, use just one, or don't add any color at all and leave it white. We usually make our batches purple.

3. Gather your family or friends together for this step! Slowly, and stirring constantly, pour the borax mixture into the glue mixture. Swirl the results with your hands and in seconds goop will form into gooey globs as it oozes from your slippery grasp. Pick it up, knead it, squeeze it and enjoy playing with it.

Henry Bransford and his sister Rose measure, pour and get their hands in the gooey-goop surprise!

NOTE: Keep the gooey goop away from carpets and upholstered furniture. If it gets on your clothing, wash it out quickly with soap and water.

TIP: While you are making the recipe, make up other names for the concoction. How about "Sublime Slime," "Slithery Concoction" or "Ectoplasmic Ick"?

“Oh dear, it’s indeed a bit weird, but it’s my mother, your great grand mother, that came up with that, she surely can give you an answer”

My wife’s family is blessed with good genes, and they grow quite old, so her great grand mother is still alive, and living in a nursery home.

Because of the years end we decided to visit her and pay our respect, and with me driving, my wife, her mother and her grand mother came along, as they were a bit curious now to.

We arrived in her room, and after paying our respects and wishes for the new year, my wife’s grandmother sat down next to the bed and asked “ mother, we have a question, we were wondering, we’ve been thaught to cut of an inch of both sides of sausages before baking them, and so are my daughter and grand daughter perparing them, it’s you who told me to do it, but why is that?”

Shortly after this we went over to her parents for a visit, and she brought up the question :” Mom, why do you cut off an inch on both sides of the sausages before baking them”

“That’s the way my mother, your grandmother, thaught me how to prepare them, I’ve never know otherwise”

As end of the year approached we had a big family gathering and also my wife’s grandmother attended, and towards the end of the evening my wife and I sat down next to her “granny, we were wondering, I’ve been cutting of an inch of both end of sausages, because that’s how mom thaught me, and she said she learned it from you, why is that?”

The 98 year old woman stared to the ceiling for a bit and then said agitated “ don’t tell me you’re still using that undersized skillet??”
