INSPIRATION POINT
Springtime Wonder
The sky has never looked so blue
Never a breeze so sweet
Flowers burst forth in brilliant array
As Springtime comes to greet.
The trees stand tall in their glory
Tender leaves cover limbs once bare
Yards filled with laughing children
Can you match the splendor there.
There is nothing quite as pleasant
As a walk in Springtime hours
The bees even harmonize with life
As they drift among the flowers.
A golden rainbow after the storm
Beauty beyond compare
A taste of heaven here on earth
With green grass everywhere.
God softly whispers to us
As gentle rains caress
The countryside, with drops of life
In such pure tenderness.
And if you listen close enough
I'm sure that He'll impart
The freshness of Spring upon your soul
And a flower in your heart.
Marilyn Ferguson 1987

“GREATER KNOWLEDGE – GREATER SERVICE”
Page 4
May 2011
Can you believe it? We are already into
May and it’s time to hit the road! The Road
to Education! I hope many of you are
planning on attending this year’s Region VII
Meeting in Estevan. This is an experience
that you will talk about for years!
So, which road are you on? Are you on the
road to personal development, to learning,
to focusing on who you are and what you
want, do you want to just GO? Do you
realize that whatever road you are on
makes you a leader? You may be leading by
listening, or by participating, or by showing
people how to focus on their goals or by
simply doing. Every choice we make in life
makes us all leaders. It is a choice, so
please; choose to lead by actively
participating in our club. Vote for what you
believe is in the Club’s best interest.
Volunteer to work on, or chair, a
committee. Step up and run for a board
position. All of these things are part of your
personal road.
Our road this month is a busy one, some of
us will be attending regional, some of us will
be working on completing our
commemorative calendar, and others are
busy working out the details and logistics of
participating in a charity fashion show. All
our members are leading by participating.
It is time to just GO!
Lenore
“The road leading to a goal does not
separate you from the destination; it is
essentially a part of it.” Charles de Lint

Help! MS Office Help! Submitted by Debb Porath
Page Breaks
I’m sure at one time or another, all of us have added
a page to our document by hitting the line return
(enter key) several times until we end up on a new
page. That can work fine, but if you go back and edit
previous pages, you may find that you have one or 2
lines on a page or worse yet that you have a 6 inch
blank space on a few pages where one page has
rolled over onto another.
To keep your document looking neat, you can insert a
manual page break simply and quickly by hitting your
Control/Enter keys simultaneously (clicking on Insert,
then Break and Page Break will do the same thing).
This is a simple page break. The same formatting will
remain on any subsequent page.
There are other page breaks that will help you as well
and I will explain them below. All of these breaks are
found in Insert/Break in MS Word 2003 or in Page
Layout/Breaks in MS Word 2007.
Column Break: A column break will force everything
after the break into the next column
Text Wrapping: Specifically for web pages and blog
entries, a text wrapping break separates text around
objects, such as caption text from body text.
Next Page Section Break: A next page section break
firstly marks a section break in the document (which
are very important when working with headers,
footers, and other page formatting features), and
also starts a new page, just like a page break.
Continuous Page Section Break: Same as the Next
Page Section Break, except it does not begin a new
page. You might use this if you want to change the
margin formatting and not change your whole
document.
What’s New! Membership Changes, Job Postings, Lost & Found, Cat ch-all! This is your page –
Use it!
Page 10
Even Page Section Break: An even page break is just
like a next page section break, except that it will start
a new section on the next even-numbered page.
Odd Page Section Break: Again, just like a next page
section break or an even page section break, except
that it will start a new section on the next odd-
numbered page
Why use an Odd or Even Page Section Break? Good
question! Odd and even page breaks come in very
handy when you are printing a booklet, and you want
the next section to begin on the left hand page (even)
or the right hand page (odd) when the booklet is
open. For example, if you are writing a book, and you
want all your chapters to begin on the right hand
page when someone is reading it, you can use an odd
page section break to begin your new chapter.
Shortcut Fever: Underlining text: Put your cursor in
a single word or highlight several words. Pressing
Control + U simultaneously will underline or remove
the underline from your text.
Test this out today, and good luck! Next month, text
boxes!
Fifth in a Series
The following information is taken directly from the
Booklet “The Facts on: Oil Sands 2010”. It is produced
by CAPP (Canadian Association of Petroleum
Producers). CAPP is the voice of Canada’s upstream
oil and natural gas industry – representing companies
that produce about 90% of Canada’s oil and gas.
Each month I will share information from the booklet
so that you can help to fulfill our organizational
purpose of educating the general public about our
industries.
The Environment - AIR
Canada’s oil sands industry continues to reduce
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Canada, with 0.5%
of the world’s population, produces 2% of global GHG
emissions.
Oil sands account for 5% of Canada’s GHG emissions
and 0.1% (1/1000th) of global GHG emissions. In
2008, Canada’s GFG emissions by sector were as
follows:
• 22% - transportation
• 16% - electricity
• 15% - manufacturing & heavy industry
• 12% - conventional oil & gas production
• 10% - agriculture
• 8% - service industries
• 7% - residential
• 5% - other fossil fuel
• 5% - oil sands
The oil sands total GHG emissions in 2008 were 37.2
megatonnes. This equivalent to 2% of 2008
emissions from U.S. coal fired power generation
sector.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas. CO2 is
emitted into the air by burning fossil fuels for
electricity generation, industrial uses, transportation,
and for heat in homes and buildings. About 75% of
oil-related CO2 comes from combustion – including
automobile exhaust. Measuring CO2 emissions from
the start of oil production (wells) through to
combustion (wheels) is called a wells-to-wheels or life
cycle analysis.
Oil sands crude has similar CO2 emissions to other
heavy oils and is 6% more intensive than the U.S.
crude supply average on a wells-to-wheels basis.
Since 1990, GHG emissions associated with every
barrel of oil sands crude produced have been
reduced by 39%.
UPSTREAM DIALOGUE
SUBMITTED BY THE EDITOR
Page 11
Upstream Dialog - Cont’d
The Government of Alberta implemented GHG
regulations in 2007 (the first jurisdiction in North
America to do so) requiring a mandatory 12%
reduction in GHG emissions intensity for all large
industrial sectors including existing oil sands facilities,
or payment in lieu (current carbon price is
$15/tonne).
The Federal and Provincial governments are investing
approximately $3 billion to help make Canada a
global leader in carbon capture and storage (CCS)
technology. Industry and government are
cooperating to demonstrate the commercial and
technical viability of CCS in Canada.
The Wood Buffalo Environmental Association (WBEA)
monitors the air in the oil sands region in and around
Fort McMurray – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
WBEA’s air quality monitoring network is one of the
most extensive in North America. Air monitoring
information is available in real time at
www.wbea.org.
Data collected over the past 10 years at monitoring
stations across Alberta indicate an improving or static
trend in air quality across the province.
Based on analysis of average concentrations of
common air pollutants, air quality has generally not
deteriorated in the Wood Buffalo region even with an
increase in emissions-associated activities and
population growth. Air quality in Fort McMurray is
better than North American cities – including
Toronto, Edmonton and Seattle – benchmarked by
the Alberta Clean Air Strategic Alliance (CASA) and
WBEA.
Industry in Action
Imperial Oil Limited
Generating steam for the drilling (in situ) process
creates greenhouse gases. In 2005, Imperial’s Calgary
research centre developed Liquid Addition to Steam
for Enhanced Recovery. This new technology makes
the process more efficient, reducing GHG emissions
by 25%.
Canadian Natural Resources Limited
At Canadian Natural’s Horizon mining facility, CO2 is
being injected into tailings before they reach the
storage ponds. The CO2 helps tailings settle faster
and accelerates the water recycling process. Not only
does this reduce the size of Canadian Natural’s
tailings pond but, when capture facilities are
installed, it is expected to eliminate over 200,000
tonnes of CO2 emissions every year.
.
Question of the Month ��
How much of the global greenhouse gas emissions does Canada produce?
Send your answer to Marilyn Carter at [email protected].

Who? What? When? Where and Why?
These are the questions that I always ask myself whenever I am interested in joining an organization or club and I am delighted to be able to share what I have discovered about Desk and Derrick with all of you. In this article I will touch upon a bit of information regarding the organization, but rather than inundate you with too much detail at this time, I will provide follow-up orientation articles in future club bulletins. Watch for Part 2 in the next bulletin.
WHO is this organization for?
Desk and Derrick, says it all. This organization is for men and women who are employed in the petroleum, energy and allied industries. It is for people who work within the industry but work at a desk/office, and who would like to learn more about the industry they work in (i.e. see a derrick close up and see what happens out in the field).
WHAT is Desk and Derrick all about?
Our Motto spells it out in just a few words: Greater Knowledge – Greater Service! Simply, if we have greater knowledge of the industry we work in, we could surely provide a greater service to our employer.
All great organizations need some direction, so the following Mission Statement was developed:
“To enhance and foster a positive image to the global community by promoting the contribution of the petroleum, energy and allied industries through education by using all resources available.”
This mission statement gave the organization and, therefore, clubs within the organization a Purpose for operating, which is:
“To promote the education and professional development of individuals employed in or affiliated with the petroleum, energy and
allied industries and to educate the general public about these industries.”
All activities and programs revolve around this purpose and give true meaning to the individuals who are members of this organization.
WHEN did it all begin? Now that we know who makes up this organization and what it is about, I will take you back through a bit of history. Here are just some of the highlights of dates and events:
• March 1949 – The first club was founded in New Orleans, Louisiana by Inez Awty Schaeffer
• July 1951 – Association of Desk and Derrick Clubs of North America incorporated in the US
• March 1952 – The Desk and Derrick Club of Edmonton, AB joined the Association (1st club outside the US)
• 1952 – Desk and Derrick Club of Calgary received its charter (first club in Calgary)
• 1960 – Name and trademark “Desk and Derrick” was registered in Canada
• May 2002 – Alberta Foothills Desk and Derrick Club received its charter (second club in Calgary)
WHERE do we fit in?
The association is comprised of three levels:
• Association • Region • Club

The Association
You will often hear the acronym ADDC being used in reference to the Association of Desk
and Derrick Clubs. There are 7 Regions in North America which are identified on this map.
There are currently Sixty (60) clubs in
seven (7) regions throughout the United States and Canada.
The head office of the Association is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which is also known as the Association Distribution Office (“ADO”). This is where the Association maintains its archival history. There is only one paid employee for the organization, Andre Martin and he manages the office and administrative functions of the Association. All members of the Board of Directors of the ADDC are volunteer members, just as you and I.
The 2011 ADDC President is Angie Duplessis and her theme for this year is ‘Gateway to Growth and Opportunity’.
The first association convention was held in 1951, so this year ADDC celebrates sixty (60) years of service to its members and the energy industry. The 60th Annual Convention will be held from September 21st to 25th, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri.
In order to assist the members in accomplishing their purpose, ADDC offers several resources, as follows:
Publications • Desk and Derrick Standard Oil Abbreviator,
6th Edition • Fundamentals of Petroleum • Land and Leasing • Practical Petroleum Geology • The “Bit of Fun” Energy Activity Book Foundations • Desk and Derrick Educational Trust • ADDC Foundation
Activities and Awards • Conventions are hosted by a different
Region every year. This is where association business is discussed and
where we vote on motions affecting the Association.
• “Achievement in Maintaining Energy Excellence” (“AIMEE”) award
• Canadian & U.S. Energy Person of the Year
For more information on ADDC, please visit the Website at www.addc.org.
Region VII: We are now getting closer to home, as you will see by the map. Region VII is unique in that it has clubs on both sides of 49th parallel and is comprised of:
• 5 Canadian clubs: Alberta Foothills, Calgary, Edmonton, Grande Prairie in Alberta and Southeast Saskatchewan, in Estevan, SK.
• 2 U.S. clubs: Denver and Grand Mesa, both in Colorado
Our 2011 Region VII Director is Barb Schaefer and her theme for this year is ‘Riding the Road to Education’.
We will soon be riding this road to education at the upcoming Regional Meeting which will be held in Estevan, Saskatchewan from May 12th to 15th, 2011. These Regional Meetings are held yearly and this is where all the clubs from our region get to discuss Desk and Derrick business, enjoy field trips and seminars, receive Awards of Merit and especially reunite with friends from other clubs.
The Club: Alberta Foothills Desk and Derrick Club (“ABFDDC”).
This is a fairly new club, but many of its charter members belonged to the Desk and Derrick Club of Calgary, which was chartered in 1952. This means
that some of our members bring many years of experience to this club and are great mentors for new members. Here is just a bit of history to help orient you about this very active club.
• May 2002 – received its charter (28 charter members)
• May 2005 – hosted 101 members and guests on an international field trip to mainland China
Page 14
2010 ADDC Convention Houston Ocean Star & NASA Tour
2009 Region VII Meeting Grand Prairie - Dinosaur Dig
• October 2008 – a second trip with 72 Desk and Derrick members and guests from Canada and the United States, experienced Australia’s Energy Excursion
• September 2009 – hosted the 58th Annual ADDC Convention
• June & July, 2011 – another international trip is planned to the British Isles. Further information can be found on our Website at www.abfddc.com
• At this date our membership stands at 51 members representing 21 different companies
Our 2011 President is Lenore Summers and her theme for this year is: ‘Circle of Energy’. Don’t you just love that theme? I sure do!
WHY should I become a member?
Each individual would derive the following benefits by becoming a member of this club:
• Develop communication and leadership skills
• Become educated about the petroleum and energy industry through: o field trips and seminars o monthly meeting programs (industry
guest speakers) o opportunities to participate in
international field trips o involvement in community events
• Acquire professional development through: o business sessions o informative programs o public speaking training
• Networking with industry peers and making new friends
• Become a part of the Circle of Energy and have FUN, FUN, FUN
In closing, I hope that I have been able to provide you with enough information about this wonderful organization to spark and keep your interest. It is such a great learning opportunity for each and every one of us and getting involved is always the best way to learn.
Until next time, enjoy our Desk and Derrick activities and stay tuned for Part 2 to follow in the next bulletin.

May 2011 Dear Members, You should have received the first issue of the Desk and Derrick Journal. Thanks to Audra Horton and Debbie English for their hard work in getting this issue out to all the members. Please send your clubs news and information from your region meetings to the DDJ. In keeping with this year’s theme of then and now, if you have any photographs of meetings from the past; send them to Audra and Debbie to be included in the next issue. The deadline for the second issue is August 1st. I also want to thank all the clubs who have sent me a copy of their club bulletin. I’ve enjoyed reading about all the activities and opportunities each club is doing to promote growth for your members and awareness in your community about your local club. I have been on the GO, the last couple months attending region meetings. Each meeting was unique and very informative. Each offered an abundance of field trips and seminars. I was unable to visit all the regions, but the ones I did not attend were well represented by other members of the Board of Directors. Now that convention registration packets are available, I hope that many of you can Meet Us in St. Louis. ADDC Nominations are open for qualified candidates. There are many opportunities available to begin your journey as a member of the Board.
You may have been a Regional Director many years ago, and felt the time was not right for you to push forward. Take time now to re-evaluate your future and the contributions you can make to our organization. Volunteers are needed as ADDC Committee Chairmen or a Regional Representative. Judi Adams is currently accepting volunteer forms for all 2012 Committees. Fill out a form and return it to Judi today. The Public Relations Committee is looking for nominees for the Distinguished Service Award (DSA) and Special Achievement Award (SAA). I’m sure you know of someone in your club or community that meets the criteria for these awards. Updated guidelines and nomination forms are available on the website. The deadline for submitting entries is May 31st.

To: All Members First, congratulations to Angie Duplessis, our 2011 ADDC President and to the 2011 ADDC Board! I know all of you will join me in wishing them a successful and memorable year. With that said, the word “memorable” is exactly what this letter is about. I had the honor of being named the 2011 “Electronic” Scrapbook Chairman and I am thrilled about the opportunity to serve. However, my service is just a small part of the Scrapbook Committee overall. This Committee is made up of other’s just like me across the US and Canada collecting photos, newspaper articles, Region meeting CD’s or any other type of memorabilia that will represent their Club in Angie’s scrapbook. It is our desire to represent all Association Clubs, so please remember to collect and send in those items that will represent this year’s memories from each and every one of your Club’s functions. You may send items to me via the postal service at the above address or digitally emailed to me at [email protected]. Otherwise, if you know your regional scrapbook representative and wish to send it directly to them, please do so. Region I Donna Siburt Region II Betty Wajda Region III Dolores Hawkins Region IV Peggy Lloyd Region V Kate Ediger Region VI Susan Cook Region VII Lynn Dunstan Angie’s theme, Gateway to Growth and Knowledge is a perfect setting for collecting memorabilia.
