Final step in Line 3 pipeline<br />

project underway<br />

Decommissioning work taking place in Alberta<br />

and Saskatchewan<br />

WHAT THE HAIL<br />

8<strong>15</strong> Broad St · Regina, SK · 306 525-5050<br />

Along a 1,097-km corridor – stretching underground across the Prairies<br />

from Hardisty, Alta. to the U.S border at Gretna, Man. – is a new,<br />

36-inch pipeline placed into service by Enbridge in October 2019. With<br />

the above-ground pipeline right-of-way returned to its pre-construction<br />

condition, work to decommission the ‘legacy’ Line 3 continues in 2022.<br />

“This is the final step toward completing the entire Line 3 Replacement<br />

Program in Canada,” said Construction Manager Allen Sawatzky. “We’re<br />

done in most of Manitoba and this year we’re focused on the remaining<br />

segments of Line 3 from Hardisty and throughout Saskatchewan to west<br />

of Cromer (Manitoba).”<br />

The decommissioning project in 2022 will focus on three segments,<br />

beginning with the 255-km leg from Regina to Cromer in late spring,<br />

followed by Hardisty to Kerrobert (176 km) and Kerrobert to Regina (355<br />

km) in late summer into fall. The general contractor for Hardisty to Kerrobert<br />

is Gee Bee Construction while the general contractor for Kerrobert<br />

to Cromer is Maxx North American Services Ltd.<br />

Work in each segment will have a peak workforce of about 60, including<br />

crews of between seven and 10 construction and contract personnel.<br />

“Decommissioning is a logistically challenging job,” said Sawatzky. “It’s<br />

different than building a pipeline – you don’t just work from kilometre<br />

zero to kilometre 100 in a straight line. You go back-and-forth, from siteto-site,<br />

and the particular job in Manitoba in 2021 involved 31 different<br />

locations for segmentation, valve isolation and for installing engineered<br />

material in the pipe beneath railway and road crossings.”<br />

There are 23 locations for segmentation, valve isolation and railway fill<br />

between Hardisty and Kerrobert, 34 locations between Kerrobert and<br />

Regina and 40 locations between Regina and Cromer.<br />

SIDEBAR<br />

Decommissioning 101<br />

A decommissioned pipeline is defined by the Canada Energy Regulator<br />

(CER) as one that is taken out of service safely and permanently while<br />

other existing or new pipelines in the same right-of-way continue to provide<br />

service to end users.<br />

Enbridge has approval from the CER (formerly the National Energy<br />

Board) to decommission Line 3 in place, a standard practice which minimizes<br />

the potential effects on communities and the stability <strong>issue</strong>s that<br />

surround soil disturbance.<br />

Games<br />

<strong>Aug</strong> 13, 2022 - ST. CATHARINES, ON - Team Sask wins two medals on<br />

the final day of week one competition at the Niagara 2022 Canada Summer<br />

Games.<br />

Men’s baseball does it again! The defending champions from the 2017 Canada<br />

Summer Games take home another medal, this time bronze. In a nail-biting<br />

game Team Sask defeated Team BC, 6-5.<br />

The women’s basketball team played Team AB in the gold medal game. For<br />

most of the game Team Sask led. Our girls battled to the end with Nevaeh Ferrara-Horne<br />

(#6) hitting a heated 3-pointer with 20 seconds left in the game.<br />

Final score: 71 AB - 60 SK, resulting in Team Sask earning a silver medal.<br />

TEAM SASK MEDAL COUNT:<br />

GOLD: X | SILVER: 6 | BRONZE: 4 | TOTAL: 10<br />

“This is just the best feeling in the world, it’s amazing coming out here and<br />

having fun with the boys” said Sutter Balog (#17, Weyburn), men’s baseball. “I<br />

didn’t doubt this team one bit.”<br />

“Team Sask baseball winning bronze in 2022 is a phenomenal accomplishment.<br />

It shows what kind of a program Baseball Sask is run in winning medals<br />

at the last two Canada Games (gold in 2017/bronze in 2022). Great support<br />

with almost all the parents being at these games and great support from other<br />

Team Sask athletes and coaches. Gotta love multi-sport games. Gotta love the<br />

Canada Games” -Darrell Barker, Team Sask Misson Staff for men’s baseball.<br />

“I thought we played three quarters of really good basketball and then struggled<br />

in the fourth... we were a little tentative but I feel like our defense really<br />

kept us in the game” said Bree Burgess, head coach for the women’s basketball<br />

team. “This experience is amazing, I described this to my team five years ago<br />

like a mini-olympics and how lucky they are to be born at the right time and<br />

be given this opporutnity. It’s like a once in a life time opportunity and it’s just<br />

amazing to be a part of it.”<br />

Prairie Cherries<br />

Prairie Cherries (Dwarf Sour Cherries) are one<br />

of my favourite fruits to grow. The shrubs are<br />

spectacular in bloom and even more enticing when<br />

the fruit is ripening. Needless to say, they have also<br />

been very popular in the neighborhood in which I<br />

live!<br />

During cherry season, countless<br />

people come knocking on my door,<br />

just to see if they could share my<br />

cherries! When I planted the orchard<br />

(on my urban lot years ago),<br />

it never occurred to me that I might<br />

be causing a problem. The only thing<br />

on my mind was making the most<br />

production on a smaller holding,<br />

never thinking about the frenzy these<br />

cherries would cause in the neighborhood!<br />

In order to understand how this<br />

fabulous fruit was developed it is<br />

necessary to understand a little bit of<br />

fruit breeding history. Thousands of<br />

years ago, the sweet cherry (Prunus<br />

avium) was crossed with the Mongolian<br />

cherry (Prunus fruiticosa) which<br />

resulted in the sour cherry (Prunus<br />

cerasus). During the 20th Century,<br />

much breeding has occurred to increase<br />

the cold hardiness of the sour<br />

cherry which results in better survival<br />

in colder areas (like ours). For over<br />

60 years there have been many, many<br />

people involved in the quest to develop<br />

a successful cherry for our region.<br />

For those involved with these breeding<br />

programs the fabulous dwarf sour<br />

cherry is often fondly referred to as<br />

the prairie cherry!<br />

The dwarf sour cherry (Prunus<br />

cerasus) is truly a dwarf sour cherry<br />

and is not grafted but grows on its<br />

own rootstock. In 1999, ‘SK Carmine<br />

Jewel’ was released after many years<br />

of work by people in the Horticulture<br />

branch of the University of Saskatchewan<br />

as a dwarf sour cherry cultivar.<br />

It is a very attractive shrub with<br />

glossy leaves and reaches a height of<br />

about 2 metres (6.5 feet). Each spring<br />

you will be rewarded with a showy<br />

bloom. The flowers are white and<br />

large and look spectacular against the<br />

glossy green foliage. The fruit when<br />

ripe has a dark purple skin and flesh<br />

and has a small pit in relation to the<br />

fruit size. It matures in late July or<br />

early <strong>Aug</strong>ust.<br />

After growing this cherry and a<br />

number of other cultivars, a few<br />

things have become apparent. They<br />

do sucker which makes them less<br />

attractive due to increased maintenance.<br />

I have found that the Romance<br />

series of cherries do sucker more<br />

rapidly than ‘SK Carmine Jewel’.<br />

The cherries also have more disease<br />

<strong>issue</strong>s than they had originally. When<br />

conditions are right my cherries will<br />

develop a number of common fungal<br />

diseases of stone fruits. This year, I<br />

am experiencing Brown rot which<br />

affects most of the stone fruits and<br />

occasionally apples when grown<br />

in close proximity to stone fruits.<br />

Unfortunately, this unsightly condition<br />

does affect the amount of fruit<br />

suitable for harvest.<br />

A secondary concern is to ensure<br />

fruit that is picked is appropriately<br />

treated to minimize postharvest<br />

disease problems. Personally, I like<br />

to pick and process in basically the<br />

same time frame and usually try<br />

to pick when the ambient outside<br />

temperature is cool. With any harvesting<br />

it is important to reduce the<br />

temperature of the produce quickly to<br />

maximize the quality of the produce.<br />

Also equally important is to minimize<br />

the exposure of fruit to twigs, leaves<br />

and other debris which could harbor<br />

spores or other disease causing<br />

factors.<br />

Our harvesting practice is to pick<br />

and pit simultaneously to avoid fruit<br />

loss. We simply use a home style<br />

cherry pitter made by Westmark<br />

which is actually very efficient and<br />

easy to use. I have used it for many<br />

years and it just keeps on pitting.<br />

The other alternative is to juice the<br />

cherries. For this process we either<br />

put the fresh cherries through a fruit<br />

press either fresh or frozen. We have<br />

found that the best way to do this<br />

is to rent a commercial wine press<br />

used for making wine rather than a<br />

domestic table top juicer. Just for the<br />

record, five years ago we had such a<br />

bumper crop of cherries that we made<br />

a couple of carboys of cherry wine.<br />

After five years, it has aged into a<br />

lovely flavourful, dry red wine.<br />

7<br />

It’s easy to judge<br />

this powerful<br />

Yankee<br />

Slugger Aaron Judge, the current face of the red-hot New<br />

York Yankees, is in the midst of what could be an historic<br />

statistical season.<br />

Since the pennant-race<br />

drama concerning the<br />

Yankees in the American<br />

League East has been all<br />

but over since the summer<br />

solstice — the Yanks had an<br />

insurmountable 12-game lead<br />

in the A.L. East going into<br />

<strong>Aug</strong>ust — baseball watchers<br />

have instead concentrated<br />

their focus on Judge and his<br />

prodigious batting exploits.<br />

The Yankees’ right fielder, a<br />

mountain of a man at 6-foot-7<br />

and 282 pounds, hit his 43rd<br />

homer <strong>Aug</strong>. 1. His 42 blasts<br />

by the end of July was a team<br />

record, and it’s safe to say the<br />

Yankees have had some powerful<br />

sluggers over the years —<br />

Ruth, Mantle, Maris, to name<br />

just three. Judge was making<br />

a mockery of the home-run<br />

race in the American League,<br />

13 ahead of his closest pursuer. His 2022 home-run burst made him the second-fastest<br />

hitter in history to get to 200 career home runs, with only Ryan Howard of the Phillies<br />

getting there earlier (658 games to Judge’s 671).<br />

But the best part of the Judge story this year is that back in the spring, the looming<br />

free agent turned down the Yankees’ offer of a contract extension that would have paid<br />

him $213.5 million for seven years of service. Judge and his agent decided to roll the<br />

dice, bet on him having a great 2022 season and then see what kind of offers free agency<br />

would bring at the end of this season.<br />

It was a great decision. If sports fans thought there was trade-deadline hype over<br />

Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani, wait until the off-season and the free-agent<br />

hype surrounding a 30-year-old slugger coming off perhaps one of the<br />

greatest seasons ever. Barry Bonds ‘officially’ holds the single-season<br />

From the<br />

Sidelines<br />

BRUCE<br />

PENTON<br />

home-run record of 73, but it’s tainted by the scent of performance<br />

enhancing drugs. If Judge were to carry on with his prodigious pace<br />

and finish with 65 or even — gasp! — 70 homers, it might stand as<br />

the all-time best in the eyes of many.<br />

“Like I’ve said a thousand times, I’m focused on winning baseball<br />

games right now,” Judge told MLB.com after a recent game. “The stats<br />

and stuff like that, we can talk about that at the end of the year.”<br />

Despite all the home run chatter, Judge says his No. 1 goal is to bat at<br />

least .300, telling the New York Post: “I’ve always said a good hitter is a guy with a high<br />

average,” said Judge, sitting at .300 on the nose on <strong>Aug</strong>. 6. “That’s what I saw in a lot of<br />

greats (like) Albert Pujols and Miguel Cabrera. They hit .300 and the power came with<br />

it.”<br />

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The late Ralph Baer, called the father of home video<br />

games, conceived a prototype joystick in 1966, the year Toronto began its last NHL<br />

championship season. Since then the Leafs have had lots of sticks, but no joy.”<br />

• Headline from theonion.com: “Study finds joggers burn up to 200 calories from repeatedly<br />

pulling down bunched-up shorts.”<br />

• Comedy writer Alex Kaseberg, with a comment that’s hardly comical: “Let me get this<br />

straight. Donald Trump hosts a Saudi-backed LIV tournament just miles from ground<br />

zero where the Saudis funded 9/11. And the trophy looks just like the Twin Towers.”<br />

• Another one from Kaseberg: “In a Missouri Senate primary featuring two guys named<br />

Eric, Donald Trump said he endorsed Eric and took credit when an Eric won. If Trump<br />

went to a basketball game he would say he was betting on the tall guys.”<br />

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “San Francisco rookie righty Sean Hjelle, who<br />

made his major league debut May 6, stands 6 feet 11. Well, they are the Giants.”<br />

• Another one from Dwight Perry: “The Mariners have released pitcher Daniel Ponce de<br />

Leon. So much for the team’s hopes of getting younger.”<br />

• RJ Currie again: “Curling Canada has announced an unprecedented March-Madnessstyle<br />

elimination event in September with a total purse in excess of $350,000. Talk<br />

about sweeps-takes.”<br />

• Headline at the onion.com: “Slumping Aaron Judge fails to hit home run in entire atbat”<br />

• Headline at fark.com: “Rhonda Rousey suspended indefinitely from WWE after<br />

grabbing SummerSlam referee post match instead of sneaking up from behind with a<br />

metal folding chair as wrestling etiquette dictates.”<br />

• Eamon Lynch on Gulfweek.com, on the LIV lawsuit against the PGA Tour fracturing<br />

friendships: “It’s tough to remain pals with the roommate who moved to a sumptuous<br />

new mansion but returned to burglarize and then torch the house you’re still living in.”<br />

• RJ Currie to wrap things up, on Tom Brady celebrating his 45th birthday: “NFL quarterback,<br />

winner of seven Super Bowls and married to a supermodel whose net worth is<br />

over $400 million. Good luck finding him a gift.”<br />

TEAM SASK SPOTLIGHT:<br />

The men’s bronze medal baseball game came down to the<br />

last three outs for Team Sask. Team Sask scored two points<br />

in the top of the seventh to go up 6-4. A double by Team BC<br />

drove in a run making the score 6-5 in the bottom of the<br />

seventh. A ground out to short sealed the deal for Team Sask.<br />

The defending champions from the 2017 Canada Summer<br />

Games are going home with the bronze medal.<br />

The women’s gold medal basketball game was electric from<br />

beginning to end. Team Sask was up at the half 35-<strong>33</strong> and<br />

up 49-48 over Team AB at the end of the third quarter, but<br />

couldn’t hang on for the win. Team Sask will take home the<br />

silver medal.<br />

Darrell Baker, mission staff for men’s baseball, was awarded<br />

a Sage Award. He was nominated by his peers in recognition<br />

of his dedication to multi-sport games.<br />

PREVIOUS DAY HIGHLIGHTS:<br />

BASEBALL (M): Team Sask defeats Team BC 6-5 in a<br />

nail-biting game to earn the bronze medal.<br />

BASKETBALL: The men’s team closes out the Games in<br />

eighth place behind Team NL. Final score 91-87. The women’s<br />

team earned a silver medal after battling with Team AB.<br />

Final score 71-60.<br />

eighth as well behind Team NS. They lost in straight sets 21-<br />

12 and 21-16.<br />

was playing for fifth place. Isabella Yan and Harry Lin lost to<br />

NS in singles matches, while Teah Chavez and Keegan Rice<br />

won their matches. In doubles play Charlie McNeil and Jana<br />

van Niekerk lost to Team NS resulting in a win overall for<br />

Team NS. Final points 4-2 over Team Sask. We finished the<br />

Games sixth overall in Tennis.

PIPELINE - CONTINUES FROM PAGE 2<br />

“Leaving the line in place avoids disturbance from the significant construction required for<br />

excavation and removal,” said Terry Kwasniewski, Manager Projects, at Enbridge. “It also reduces<br />

risk of soil and slope instability, settlement and compaction that could compromise the<br />

safety of active pipelines sharing the right-of-way.”<br />

Line 3 decommissioning involves cleaning, disconnecting, segmenting, filling the pipeline at<br />

strategic points and ongoing monitoring, even after decommissioning is complete.<br />

Here is a look at the five steps involved in decommissioning:<br />

1. Clean the pipeline: A combination of cleaning instruments (often referred to as ‘pigs’) and<br />

cleaning solution are used to wipe and clean the pipeline.<br />

2. Disconnect the pipeline: The pipeline is physically disconnected and sealed off from active<br />

operational facilities, like pump stations, to prevent oil from re-entering the system.<br />

3. Segment the pipeline: Permanent physical barriers are created inside the pipeline to prevent<br />

the pipeline from acting as a conduit. This includes valves and permanent segmentation<br />

installations. Valves are closed and permanently disabled, and small pieces of the pipeline are<br />

removed so it can be sealed at select locations.<br />

4. Strategically fill the pipeline: The line will be filled with an engineered material at railway<br />

crossings, which can also provide protection against water conduits.<br />

5. Monitor the pipeline: Cathodic protection will continue to be applied to the decommissioned<br />

pipeline. It will be monitored with regular pipeline patrols, pipeline signs indicating<br />

exact location, and depth-of-cover surveys, and it will remain on Click Before You Dig program<br />

databases.<br />

North with a pulse<br />

The Hudson Bay Railway has long been a route to ocean water which has<br />

been of interest to northeast Saskatchewan grain growers.<br />

It is, after all, the shortest route to open water,<br />

at least for a short summer season, and that<br />

holds the potential to cost producers less.<br />

When you’ve been an ag journalist in Yorkton for<br />

more than 30 years, the potential of that route<br />

north is not lost on you, especially if you ever met<br />

Willis Richford of Norquay before he died in 2005.<br />

Richford and the rail line north were, for decades,<br />

nearly synonymous. For over 60 years,<br />

Richford was a member, director, president and<br />

subsequently Honourary Life member<br />

of the Hudson Bay Route Association.<br />

He worked tirelessly and was<br />

about as passionate as one can<br />

Ag Notes<br />

be about something, in his case<br />

CALVIN<br />

advocating for greater use of the<br />

DANIELS<br />

Port of Churchill and the Hudson<br />

Bay Route.<br />

During the times we spoke, it<br />

was evident he was a true believer<br />

in the yet unrealized potential of the<br />

railway and the port. A large mural proclaims<br />

Norquay as the ‘Home of Mr. Churchill Willis<br />

Richford’ as does a medallion produced by the<br />

Norquay Chamber of Commerce in 2000.<br />

I reflected on Richford when I read that the<br />

Hudson Bay Railway will receive $1<strong>33</strong> million in<br />

new funding to upgrade and maintain the rail line<br />

in Manitoba from The Pas to Churchill. The federal<br />

government will provide $60 million on top<br />

of its existing support, and the Manitoba government<br />

is contributing $73.8 million to the project.<br />

The two levels of government made the announcement<br />

in Winnipeg on <strong>Aug</strong>ust 3rd.<br />

It’s funding Richford would have wholeheartedly<br />

supported, although it is likely he might suggest<br />

it was overdue.<br />

The funding is for two years and will go to the<br />

Arctic Gateway Group, a partnership between First<br />

Nations and northern communities. Arctic Gateway<br />

owns the railway, the Port of Churchill, the<br />

Churchill Marine Tank Farm and other assets.<br />

“The Hudson Bay Railway is an engine for<br />

economic development, job growth and tourism<br />

opportunities, and our government is proud to support<br />

this vital transportation network,” Manitoba<br />

premier Heather Stefanson said in a recent www.<br />

producer.com article.<br />

It is a great statement, but frankly, it’s one that<br />

various politicians have echoed in one form or<br />

another for decades, but in the end, the suggested<br />

potential never seems to be achieved.<br />

The latest injection of cash is clearly about Northern<br />

Manitoba’s economic growth, not grain going<br />

north to open water. That element of the port is<br />

likely a footnote of Prairie history related to unfulfilled<br />

potential, but the money does leave the route<br />

north with a pulse.<br />

Shepherd of the Valley<br />

Lutheran Church<br />

Richford would hope it is a step to more, but we<br />

will see if that happens.<br />

Health Advisory<br />

on Monkeypox<br />

<strong>Aug</strong>ust 13, 2022 - The Saskatchewan Health<br />

Authority is alerting the public to the elevated risk<br />

of acquiring Monkeypox through anonymous sexual<br />

contact due to recent known cases associated with<br />

this source of transmission. Information reported<br />

to public health, related to travel into and out of<br />

province, has prompted this alert.<br />

22091SS0<br />

Individuals who believe they have been exposed can contact Healthline 811<br />

to determine if they are considered at risk or eligible for a vaccine.<br />

Eligibility for the Monkeypox vaccine has been expanded to adults 18 years<br />

and older who are close contacts or deemed higher risk for exposure. Referrals<br />

are available through 811.<br />

Monkeypox is a rare viral illness that causes fever, headache, swollen lymph<br />

nodes and lethargy, followed by the development of a rash over a person’s<br />

body. Monkeypox does not spread easily from person to person. It is spread<br />

through:<br />

• Close, personal, often skin-to-skin contact;<br />

• touching bodily fluids or lesions of a person who is sick with the disease; or<br />

• exposure to contaminated objects such as bed linens or clothing.<br />

If you have recently been in contact with an individual with suspected or<br />

confirmed monkeypox and develop fever or other symptoms of illness, you<br />

should call HealthLine 811 or consult a health care provider immediately.<br />

The Ministry of Health and Saskatchewan Health Authority have increased<br />

surveillance for monkeypox and have alerted health care providers about<br />

signs, symptoms and treatment. Health officials in Saskatchewan are continuing<br />

to work with the Public Health Agency of Canada and National Microbiology<br />

Laboratory in Winnipeg to investigate any further potential cases of<br />

monkeypox in Saskatchewan.<br />

cool cars like the Corvette or the LaDawri Conquest pictured here.<br />

LaDawri was the first Canadian fibreglass car manufacturer, and honestly,<br />

I couldn’t begin to think of another one right now. The Conquest<br />

was unveiled in 1956. By 1957 the company had relocated to California,<br />

an obvious move due to climate and population. I believe the Conquest<br />

was sold in kit form and as a finished car. I’m not sure if it was designed<br />

around the Henry J frame, but that was the most common undercarriage<br />

due to the independent front suspension and proper wheelbase. If I remember<br />

correctly, some cars were also built on the <strong>Vol</strong>kswagen platform,<br />

which required fairly extensive work to the car’s rear. LaDawri ended up<br />

with a full lineup of cars, both full-size and compact. Between personal<br />

innovation and the purchasing of competitors, they became the largest<br />

fibreglass car manufacturer in the United States, going until 1965 when<br />

the company shut down. I’ve seen several LaDawri projects popping up<br />

for sale lately, so if you want one, they’re out there.<br />

I was DEVASTATED!! It wasn’t a new vehicle but had low miles, new tires, and a tank full of gas. I<br />

checked all five levels of the parkade to no avail. I reported it to the police and the insurance company.<br />

Taxis were used to get to my commitments, and I finally found a rental at the airport. The feeling<br />

of devastation continued with thoughts of it being in a chop-shop, or on the way to Ontario etc. etc.<br />

The next morning while leaving the parkade, I made a wrong turn before exiting- it was a restricted<br />

area. When I stopped to turn back, being in the lowest, darkest corner of the parkade, the headlights<br />

revealed off to my right, a vehicle left stranded in a pool of muddy, slimy, snow & water. There was my<br />

truck! It was intact except for some scratches on the roof because of the low ceiling & a broken door<br />

panel. The police said that the thief, or thieves, used electronics to bypass the security system. All of<br />

that didn’t matter- my truck was intact and it was restored to me. Ironically, the thief couldn’t get it<br />

out of the parkade without the ticket that opened the exit gate, nor did he attempt to drive through<br />

the barrier as it was under surveillance. Some personal items & loose change were all that was taken.<br />

This incident reminds me of the things that occur on our life’s journey. We find ourselves locked<br />

in Satan’s Parkade with no way out. We run around in circles looking for an exit. We can’t get out<br />

because we don’t have the exit ticket to open the gate. GOOD NEWS!! Jesus is our TICKET out of<br />

Satan’s slimy parkade. The amount required has been prepaid to expedite our release. This was paid<br />

for us on Calvary. All we have to do is call upon Him. He will replace your DEVASTATION with His<br />

RESTORATION. He is our key. It works every time. Please try it. You’ll be glad you did. There is joy in<br />

Heaven over every soul that is restored to its Creator.<br />
