Press Kit for Glenn Sutter ('Sue-Ter') Press Kit for Glenn Sutter (‘sue-ter’) April 2, 2015 Elevator Pitch Glenn Sutter is an award-winning folk-rocker with deep prairie roots. From his home in Regina, he watches and worries about the world, but he also thinks about beauty, love and the other good things in life. All of this comes through in his music – a rich blend of dreams and honesty that will lift and open you up, teasing out tears, smiles, and a bit of hope along the way. Overview Sutter hit the national spotlight in 2010 when his tune Weight of the World became the official Saskatchewan song on David Suzuki's Playlist for the Planet (CBC Radio3). Since then, Sutter has released 2 more albums, including a live fund-raising album called Seeds, in collaboration with Brett Dolter (B.D. Willoughby), and a second full-length studio album called Sweet Happiness. CBC has also called Sutter a "scientist who sings" because he has a background in biology and human ecology. In his latest album, he continues to explore ideas and feelings about love, nature, and the human condition. As one fan put it, he is "intelligent and emotional - the real thing!"

Through the 1980s and 90s, he performed with bands and solo blues-folk musicians in Winnipeg and Ottawa, and then took a hiatus from music to work and raise a family. In 2006, after playing for several years in a Regina cover band (East 14th), Sutter turned his hand to songwriting. Inspired by songwriter retreats at the U of S Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus, he launched his critically acclaimed debut album All You Need in 2008, with WCMA-winning producer David j Taylor. The album features songs like High Hopes, which is about challenges that come with urban life, and My Son, a reflection on the dreams and aspirations of a young parent. This album led to feature interviews and primetime spins on several daytime radio programs, including The Afternoon Edition and Saskatchewan Weekend on CBC Radio1. Getting onto Playlist for the Planet was a major event in Sutter's musical life, especially since he has deep respect for David Suzuki. Other winning songs include tracks by Canadian music mainstays Danny Michel, Paper Lions, and Delhi 2 Dublin. The official iTunes compilation was released in March 2011 by Universal Music and features the 11 winning song entries alongside tracks by Canadian music legends Bruce Cockburn, Gordon Lightfoot, Sarah McLachlan and current/multiple Juno award winners LIGHTS and Johnny Reid. In January 2011, another one of Glenn’s songs, Days of Loneliness, was short- listed for the book Essex County as part of the Canada Reads Soundtrack (CBC Radio1). Glenn's music was also singled out in December 2013 when his song Game On made the national Top 100 in the CBC Hockey Song Contest, and again in October 2014 when his tune Promises came runner up in the folk category of the international Song of the Year contest. Sutter has collaborated with many other Saskatchewan musicians, including Rebecca Lascue, Anna Rose, Lynn Besse McInnis, Terri Bear, and Brett Dolter (Library Voices, B.D. Willoughby). In April 2010, Sutter and Dolter recorded a live album called Seeds, which was released as a fund-raiser for the Regina North Central Community Association. In December 2011, Sutter released his second full-length solo album Sweet Happiness - again drawing on the production and engineering talents of David j Taylor. Feature tracks include Old Crow, a song about hope and wisdom, and Sunlight After Rain, a reflection on going home after a long time away. This album led to a prairie-wide release tour and main stage performances at the Cathedral Village Arts Festival, Regina’s Symphony Under the Sky, and Telemiracle 2013. A versatile and classically trained performer, Sutter has been attracting attention and fans wherever he plays. Most recently, he has been touring across western Canada and playing a string of local shows in support of his latest album. Discography "Sweet Happiness" - released December 2011: A full-length collection of tunes about searching and discovery, with production and engineering by David j Taylor. Several tracks have been featured on local radio (CJTR, CBC Radio 1), including the haunting love song Wait, a song about love during wartime called Let Love Be Your Guide, and a tune about the 2011 Souris River flood called That River Rising. "Seeds" - released July 2010: A full-length live album recorded at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum with fellow-songwriter Brett Dolter (B.D. Willoughby) as a fund-raiser for community gardens in North Central Regina. Received full-page coverage in the Regina Leader-Post. "All You Need" - released September 2008: A full-length debut CD produced by David j. Taylor. Many tracks have had radio play, including High Hopes, Times We Live, and Weight of the World (CJTR, CBC Radio 1, CBC Radio 3). Several tunes have also been placed in videos, including: Ours to Know and How It Was. Press Quotes QC: Leaderpost – Jan 2014 “Sutter strives to emulate Neil Young and Blue Rodeo in an effort to reach deeper meaning with his songwriting.” BuzzCity – Jan 2012 – “Sutter’s appeal has been steadily growing for the past few years, starting from the release of his first CD All You Need in 2008... An observer of nature, both human and otherwise, Sutter brings a keen awareness as an ecologist and as an artist to his new album Sweet Happiness.” Regina LeaderPost – March 2012 – “As a biologist, Glenn Sutter knows that understanding human behaviour, let alone changing it, would be difficult. So Sutter has turned to music in an effort to inspire consumer change that would in turn have a positive effect on the environment.” Selected Reviews GREAT NEW ALBUM! - "Glenn has a great talent for songwriting and his latest album touches on several different genres with an honesty and intensity that shows his true craft. The album is written from the heart and Glenn's passion is evident on each track. It's easy to tell Glenn is influenced by legendary songwriters like John Hiatt & Steve Earle and this is a great listen for fans of "story songs." Darcy Lynch, Guitar Town, CKCU 93.1 FM, Ottawa, Ontario "Glenn Sutter offers a refreshing element to the music scene. His music reflects the respect in his heart for nature, good clean living, and pure loving. Not one to hold back for the sake of political-correctness, his messages are courageous and ring with truth. If we had more Glenn Sutters in our world, it would be a better place!"

  • Artificial Drainage Report.Pdf
    HH3: Souris River Basin Artificial Drainage Impacts Review July 15, 2019 FINAL REPORT Submitted to the International Souris River Study Board by the HH3 Working Group Report prepared by Bob Harrison Executive Summary This project was undertaken as a portion of the Souris River Study. The governments of Canada and the United States asked the IJC to undertake studies evaluating the physical processes occurring within the Souris River basin which are thought to have contributed to recent flooding events. The public expressed a high interest in the issue of agricultural drainage impacts. Thus an “Artificial Drainage Impacts Review” was added to International Souris River Study Board’s (ISRSB) Work Plan to help address their questions and provide information to the public regarding wetland drainage. This report summarizes the current knowledge of artificial drainage in the Souris River basin. The study involved a review of drainage legislation and practices in the basin, the artificial drainage science, the extent of artificial drainage in the basin and the potential influence on transboundary flows Artificial drainage is undertaken to make way for increased or more efficient agricultural production by surface or/and subsurface drainage. Surface drainage moves excess water off fields naturally (i.e., runoff) or by constructed channels. The purpose of using surface drainage is to minimize crop damage from water ponding after a precipitation event, and to control runoff without causing erosion. Subsurface drainage is installed to remove groundwater from the root zone or from low-lying wet areas. Subsurface drainage is typically done through the use of buried pipe drains (e.g., tile drainage).

  • An Examination of Ideology and Subject Formation Among Elite And
    AN EXAMINATION OF IDEOLOGY AND SUBJECT FORMATION AMONG ELITE AND ORDINARY RESIDENTS IN THE BAKKEN SHALE, NORTH DAKOTA, 2015-2016 A Dissertation by THOMAS ANDREW LODER Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Christian Brannstrom Committee Members, Forrest Fleischman Wendy Jepson Kathleen O’Reilly Head of Department, David Cairns August 2018 Major Subject: Geography Copyright 2018 Thomas Andrew Loder ABSTRACT The US shale energy boom of the late 2000s and 2010s has brought both economic growth and negative externalities to communities undergoing extraction. Building on previous research on fracking landscapes – as well as geographies of energy and natural resources and case studies of environmental subjectivity in extractive zones – this dissertation employed a suite of qualitative methods to examine the discourses and ideology used to support and oppose fracking-led development in North Dakota’s Bakken Shale. The dissertation consists of three substantive chapters. The first employs key actor interviews and participant observation to examine how pro-oil ideology is advanced by economic and political elites in North Dakota. This chapter concludes that elites frame support for oil as an extension of existing conservative ideologies prevalent in the state. The second substantive chapter consists of content analysis of coverage of oil- related events in state-level newspapers, specifically concentrating on a 2014 conservation ballot measure and the Keystone XL pipeline. This chapter concludes that pro-oil writers are more effective in their messaging due to focusing on economic and emotional appeals.

Dear Secretary Kerry and Minister Baird: The unprecedented flooding in the Souris River basin in 2011 prompted calls from both sides of the border to review the existing agreement that deals with water supply and flood control in the Souris Basin. The governments subsequently requested that the Commission develop a “Plan of Study” (POS) to identify what needs to be done to address this issue. In particular, the focus should be on evaluating the Operating Plan, but also on identifying potential additional measures to help alleviate flooding in the basin. An integral part of this analysis should be to assess the impacts of climate change in light of the increasing magnitude of floods.

  • 2011 Souris River Flood—Will It Happen Again?
    North Dakota State Water Commission 2011 Souris River Flood—Will it Happen Again? A By taking into consideration historical climate record and trends in basin response to various climatic conditions, it was determined flood risk will remain high in the Souris River Basin until the wet climate state ends. During a wet climate state there is about a 0.2-percent chance, in any given year, that there will be another flood like the 2011 flood (or greater). In other words, if the current wet climate state continues during the next 10 years, there is about a 2-percent chance that there will be another flood like the 2011 flood (or greater). Specifically, when looking at Rafferty Reservoir (the primary flood-control structure for downstream communities), there is a 3-percent chance in any given year that the annual capacity will be exceeded. This means that if the wet climate state continues during the next 10 years, there is about a 30-percent chance Rafferty’s annual capacity will be exceeded.

Prepared for The International Souris River Board February 2013 by the 2012 Souris River Basin Task Force EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Context The sharing and management of water across the International Boundary between Canada and the United States has its origin in the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 between the two countries. The Treaty also established an International Joint Commission (IJC) to have jurisdiction over the use, obstruction or diversion of these waters. Over the decades, various bi- national boards have been established by the IJC to address the management of the trans- boundary waters of the Souris River basin and its major river, the Souris River which is also known locally as the Mouse River. Currently, the International Souris River Board (ISRB) is responsible for ensuring compliance with flow apportionment and low flow measures adopted by the two countries and for performing an oversight function for flood operations in cooperation with the designated entities identified in the 1989 Canada-United States Agreement for Water Supply and Flood Control in the Souris River Basin, including the terms of Annexes A and B of the Agreement and subsequent Amendments to Annexes A and B in 2000. The Board operates under a 2007 Directive from the IJC and reports to the Commission annually.
