  • Control and Distribution of Porosity in the Red River C Laminated Member
    Control and distribution of porosity in the Red River C laminated member at the Brush Lake Field by James Roy Stimson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by James Roy Stimson (1985) Abstract: The Red River "C" cycle at the Brush Lake field consists of three distinct informal members; 1) the anhydrite member, 2) the laminated member, and 3) the burrowed member, in descending order. This cycle can be interpreted as a tidal flat deposit with the above members representing the supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal environments, respectively. The laminated member has been thoroughly dolomitized at Brush Lake and porosity values within the dolomites change rapidly. Evidence from Brush Lake reveals that the porosity distribution is primarily the result of diagenetic controls rather than structural or depositional controls. Textural evidence from the laminated member indicates that porosity has been reduced in some parts of the laminated member by 1) early precipitation of calcite cements, 2) overdolomitization, 3) early precipitation of gypsum, 4) late precipitation of replacive anhydrite, and 5) pressure solution along low amplitude stylolites.

    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF SASKATCHEWAN SIXTH SESSION – FOURTEENTH LEGISLATURE 16th day Thursday, February 27th, 1964 The Assembly met at 2:30 o’clock On the Orders of the Day ANNOUNCEMENT OF DEATH OF MR. F.V. VON PILIS Hon. O.A. Turnbull (Minister of Education): — Mr. Speaker, before the Orders of the Day, I would like to bring to the attention of the house the sudden tragic death of a good friend of my own, and I am sure of many of the members, Mr. Bob Von Pilis, who died suddenly while attending a public meeting in Lloydminster yesterday. Mr. Von Pilis was not native born to Canada, or Saskatchewan, but he had through his work become a Canadian and a champion of the rights of many groups in Saskatchewan, as well, during the period of time in which he lived in this province. He was a man of outstanding character, fearlessly dedicated to his convictions, a man I think of very high principles, and I deem it a privilege to count him as a personal friend. I am sure the house would want to join with me in extending sympathy and condolences to his family. Mr. W. Ross Thatcher (Leader of the Opposition): — I should certainly like to join with the minister in his condolences. I, too, knew Mr. Von Pilis and my colleagues, if from time to time we did not share some of the views he held, but we knew that he held them very sincerely and I think he will be missed by the farmers, by the farm union and by the people of Saskatchewan.

  • CCHA Storm Report
    August 21st, 2020 Tennis ball size hail reported in western Canada Storms produced tennis ball size hail in some parts of western Canada along with heavy rain and high wind that damaged crops across the prairie, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association. The storms occurred Aug. 7-15. CCHA member companies are investigating more than 800 claims of crop damage during the time period. Beth Shewkenek, of AG Direct Hail Insurance said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Choiceland and Redvers. In Alberta, she said storms damaged crops in Camrose, Drumheller, and Olds. Darryl Tiefenbach, of Additional Municipal Hail said storms damaged crops in the Saskatchewan communities of Bengough, Ogema, Pangman, Rouleau, Oungre, Regina, Pense, Craik, Earl Grey, Southey, Kelvington, Lintlaw, Okla, Kisbey, Arcola, Redvers and Alida. “The system moved up in a northeasterly path and produced hail in those areas with small stones to as large as tennis balls near Lintlaw,” he said. He said wind and rain are factors in adjusting for crop damage. Harvest is underway in the south of the province for peas, lentils and barley. Brendan Blight, of Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, said storms damaged crops in the Manitoba communities of Virden, Alexander, Lowe Farm and Morris. “The storm came from Saskatchewan and headed east and met another storm coming north from South Dakota,” he said. Pea size hail resulted in minor to moderate damage. More than 2 inches of rain in some areas along with high wind are factors in adjusting for crop damage. Claims are still coming in, he said.
