Foutz and Bursum - Pinedale, Wyoming


Weiler Abrasives Group, a leading provider of abrasives, power brushes and maintenance products for surface con-ditioning, today announced the launch of a national fun-draising campaign, Leading a Warriors’ Charge, in part-nership with Workshops for Warriors®, a nonprofit school that trains, certifies and helps place veterans, wounded warriors and transitioning service members into advanced manufacturing careers. Weiler donated $25,000 to kick off the year-long campaign that will support machining and welding training programs at the nonprofit trade school, as well as contribute to long-term growth of the organization.

“Weiler believes in the value of the Workshops for Warriors cause and is pleased to support it,” says Nate Schmid, di-rector of marketing — Americas, Weiler Abrasives Group. “Bringing veterans back into the workforce after they have served and training them with skills to have careers in welding and CNC machining is so important, both for their livelihoods and for our industry, as we face a major gap in the technical trades across the U.S.”

Workshops for Warriors solves two systemic issues: re-building America’s advanced manufacturing talent work-force and ensuring transitioning service members and vet-erans successfully transition into viable, upwardly mobile civilian careers.

Weiler has been providing Workshops for Warriors with in-kind support since 2014, supplying abrasive products and safety products to meet the needs of every incoming class each semester. The company plans to continue of-fering this support. Weiler will also be showing its ongo-ing support for Workshops for Warriors through Leading a Warriors’ Charge, a nationwide fundraising campaign that

includes promotion at trade shows, partnership-branded product packaging and more.

“Weiler has been a great supporter of ours since the out-set,” says Lyle Palm, dean of welding at Workshops for Warriors. “They’ve gone the extra mile with this campaign. It’s an honor to partner with a company that genuinely be-lieves in what we’re doing.”

Recognized as the leader in advanced manufacturing training for veterans in the United States, the Workshops for Warriors program is a nationally scalable and repeat-able model that enables veterans and transitioning service members to overcome employment obstacles and enter into lucrative careers as welders, fabricators, CNC machin-ists, CNC mill and CNC lathe operators, computer-aided designers and CNC programmers throughout America.

Since its inception in 2008, Workshops for Warriors has trained and certified 496 veterans, wounded warriors and transitioning service members, awarding more than 3,000 nationally recognized third-party credentials. In 2017, 94 percent of the school’s graduates obtained jobs in ad-vanced manufacturing after completing the program.

Through the Leading a Warriors’ Charge campaign, Wei-ler will garner support to enable Workshops for Warriors to train four times as many students — and help the organiza-tion achieve its goal of “Rebuilding American Manufactur-ing One Veteran at a Time™.”

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. recently held a bind-ing open season for expansion capacity on its Enterprise Crude Pipeline LLC (“ECPL”) West Texas System, which transports crude oil from points in New Mexico to the compa-ny’s terminal in Midland, Texas. The expansion of the West Texas System is designed to facilitate growing production of crude oil from the Delaware Basin in New Mexico by pro-viding much-needed pipeline takeaway capacity. The open season is seeking customer commitments for incremental capacity on the West Texas System from ECPL’s Lynch, Hobbs and Red Hills stations in Lea County, New Mexico,

to the Midland terminal. At Midland, shippers will have ac-cess to storage and terminal services, as well as connec-tivity to multiple transportation alternatives such as trucking and pipeline infrastructure that offer access to various down-stream markets, including the Gulf Coast. Service on the ex-panded West Texas System is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2018.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and Navigator Hold-ings Ltd. announced that construction is now under way on their 50/50 joint venture ethylene export terminal which will be located at Enterprise’s Morgan’s Point, Texas facility on the Houston Ship Channel. The terminal will have the capac-ity to export approximately 2.2 billion pounds of ethylene per year. Refrigerated storage for 66 million pounds of ethylene is being constructed on-site and will provide the capability to load ethylene at rates of 2.2 million pounds per hour. Com-mercial operations are expected to begin in the fourth quar-ter of 2019, one quarter earlier than previously projected. By providing access to international markets, the new export terminal will facilitate continued growth of domestic ethylene production, which is expected to reach 90 billion pounds per year by 2021. In addition, the terminal being constructed by Enterprise and Navigator will promote supply diversifica-

Alliance Pipeline Ltd. announced that binding commitments for the Capacity Expansion Open Season which ended on May 30, 2018, did not reach the target of 400 million cubic feet per day. Based on the Open Season results and feed-back from producers, Alliance is assessing potential alterna-tives and next steps. Alliance would like to thank all parties who participated in the Open Season. The Alliance Pipeline system consists of an approximately 3,848-kilometer (2,391-mile) integrated Canadian and U.S. natural gas transmission pipeline system, delivering rich natural gas from the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and the Williston Basin to the Chicago market hub.

Columbia Gas Transmission has filed a formal application with the FERC seeking to construct the Buckeye Xpress Project. The proposed project would include replacement of approximately 64 miles of existing, aging 20-inch and 24-inch natural gas pipeline from Vinton, Ohio, to Burlington, Ohio, on a portion of Columbia’s R-System. Columbia proposes to replace the existing pipeline potentially with 36-inch-diame-ter pipeline necessary to provide 275,000 Dth/d of additional firm capacity for the project. Upon completion, the replaced line will be known as R-801. Columbia is proposing to place the project into service in November 2020. A phased in-ser-vice approach may be considered once customer negotia-tions are complete.

Dominion Energy Transmission has received a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment from the FERC for the proposed Sweden Valley Project.

PROPOSED PROJECTS & UPDATES


gas processing facility under construction near Orla, Texas in Reeves County. The addition of a third processing train at Orla would increase inlet volume capacity to 900 MMcf/d and allow Enterprise to expand its natural gas liquids (“NGL”) extraction capabilities by an incremental 40,000 barrels per day to 120,000 BPD. The third processing train is expect-ed to begin service in the second quarter of 2019 and will complement trains one and two, which are on schedule for completion in the second and third quarters of 2018. Over the next five years, supplies of natural gas and NGLs in the Permian Basin could nearly double, and Orla is ideally situated to capitalize on growth opportunities in the region. With connections to our integrated natural gas and NGL in-frastructure network, Orla is a key component in providing our customers access to the growing petrochemical indus-try along the Gulf Coast, as well as the export demand for U.S. production. Mixed NGLs from Orla will be delivered into Enterprise’s fully integrated pipeline system, including the new Shin Oak Pipeline which is currently scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter of 2019. Residual natural gas from Orla will be transported to the Waha area through a 68-mile, 36-inch diameter pipeline scheduled to begin ser-vice commensurate with the first Orla train, and will connect to Enterprise’s Texas Intrastate pipeline system at the Waha

hub. Upon completion of the Orla expansion projects, Enter-prise will have total natural gas processing capacity of more than 1.2 billion cubic feet per day, and the capability to ex-tract more than 200,000 BPD of NGLs in the Permian Basin.

EPIC announced that it would be extending its existing Open Season on the EPIC Crude Pipeline System. The Open Season was initially closed on December 23, 2017, but was subsequently re-opened and extended until June 20, 2018. EPIC previously announced that it has received sufficient customer interest to sanction the proposed 730-mile crude pipeline running from the Permian Basin to Corpus Christi based upon volume commitments and acreage dedications. EPIC has determined that an additional 11-day extension of the current Open Season is warranted due to additional interest in the crude pipeline project. The extended oppor-tunity to participate in the Open Season will begin 8:00AM CST June 21, 2018 and end on 5:00PM CST July 2, 2018.

tion for expanding markets like Asia, which rely on cost-ad-vantaged U.S. feedstocks. The high-capacity ethylene salt dome storage facility Enterprise is developing at its complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas is scheduled to begin service in the second quarter of 2019. Upon completion, this storage facil-ity will have a capacity of approximately 600 million pounds with an injection/withdrawal rate of 420,000 pounds per hour and will be designed to enable connections to the eight eth-ylene pipelines within a half-mile of the Enterprise ethylene storage system. In addition, Enterprise is building a new eth-ylene pipeline from Mont Belvieu to Bayport, Texas, which is on schedule to begin service in 2020. The section from Mont Belvieu to Morgan’s Point is scheduled to be in service in 2019 to support the export terminal.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P., Western Gas Partners, LP and DCP Midstream, LP announced a binding open season for additional capacity on the Front Range Pipeline, which transports mixed natural gas liquids (“NGL”) from the Denver-Julesburg (“DJ”) Basin in Weld County, Colorado to Skellytown, Texas in Carson County. Subject to customer commitments during the open season, the partners expect to expand Front Range by 100,000 barrels per day (“BPD”) to a total capacity of approximately 250,000 BPD. Enterprise

will be responsible for constructing the expansion, which will consist of additional pump stations along the 435-mile route. Service on the expanded Front Range pipeline is expected to begin in the second quarter of 2019. The expansion of Front Range is designed to facilitate growing production of NGLs from the DJ Basin, which is expected to increase by approximately 40 percent over the next four years as devel-opment of oil and natural gas, made possible by the shale revolution, continues. In addition, an incremental 800 million cubic feet per day of natural gas processing capacity is ex-pected to come online by the end of 2019. Complementing the Front Range expansion is a proposed increase in capac-ity on the 583-mile Texas Express pipeline that originates in Skellytown, Texas and runs to the NGL fractionation and storage complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. An expanded Front Range system, which links to the Texas Express pipeline, is a critical component of an integrated solution that provides DJ producers with flow assurance and greater access to the Gulf Coast market. The Binding Open Season Commitment Period began May 4, 2018 and continued until June 4, 2018.

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. announced that the partnership plans to add 300 million cubic feet per day (“MMcf/d”) of incremental capacity at its cryogenic natural

Concurrent with the formation of Ci-marron Express, Alta Mesa executed a long-term acreage dedication and transportation agreement with Cimarron Ex-press, which incorporates approximately 120,000 net acres in Kingfisher and Garfield counties. Under the terms of the agreement, BKEP will construct and operate the pipeline. Also, BKEP will continue to operate its existing crude oil storage facilities in Cushing, Oklahoma. The receipt termi-nal for the newly constructed Cimarron Express pipeline will be located at Kingfisher Midstream’s crude oil storage facil-ity located in northeastern Kingfisher County. The pipeline will connect to Kingfisher Midstream’s crude oil gathering system and truck unloading facilities at the Kingfisher Mid-stream crude oil facility.

Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. announced that it is considering an expansion of the western leg of its refined products pipeline system in Texas and has launched an open season to assess customer interest. The proposed ex-pansion would increase Magellan’s capability to transport re-fined petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel fuel, from Gulf Coast refineries to demand centers in Abilene,

Midland/Odessa and El Paso, Texas, with further optionality to access markets in the states of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as international markets in Mexico via connections to other pipelines owned by Magellan and third parties. The pipeline’s current capacity of 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) could increase to 140,000 bpd following the expansion. Sub-ject to the results of this open season and receipt of all nec-essary permits and approvals, the expanded capacity could be operational by mid-2020.

Jordan Cove Energy Project, L.P. and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline, LP has an application before the FERC for their proposed LNG and Terminal Pipeline.

will have the capability to be expanded to 400,000 bpd with additional pump facilities.

ONEOK, Inc. plans to invest approximately $2.3 billion be-tween now and 2020 to construct: a new 400,000-barrel per day (bpd) natural gas liquids (NGL) pipeline – the Arbuckle II Pipeline – that will create additional NGL transportation ca-pacity between ONEOK's extensive Mid-Continent infrastruc-ture in Oklahoma and the company's existing NGL facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas; a new 125,000 bpd NGL fractionator – MB-4 – in Mont Belvieu, Texas, and related infrastructure; and a new 200-million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) natural gas processing facility – the Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure – in the Williston Basin. Arbuckle II Pipeline and MB-4: The approximately 530-mile, 24- and 30-inch di-ameter Arbuckle II Pipeline is expected to cost approximately $1.36 billion and will have an initial capacity to transport up to 400,000 bpd of unfractionated NGLs originating across ONEOK's supply basins and extensive NGL gathering system to the company's storage and fractionation facilities at Mont Belvieu. The Arbuckle II Pipeline is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2020. The pipeline will have the capability to be expanded up to 1 million bpd with additional pump facili-ties, which could more than double ONEOK's current capaci-

ty between the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast. The new MB-4 fractionator and related infrastructure, which includes addi-tional NGL storage capacity in Mont Belvieu, are expected to cost approximately $575 million and be completed in the first quarter 2020. ONEOK's total NGL fractionation capacity will increase to 965,000 bpd following the completion of MB-4. The initial capacity of the Arbuckle II Pipeline is more than 50 percent contracted, and MB-4 is fully contracted. Both are anchored by long-term contracts with terms ranging between 10 to 20 years. Adjusted EBITDA multiples for these projects are based only from these commitments but additional sup-ply agreements continue to be negotiated. Demicks Lake plant and related infrastructure: The Demicks Lake natu-ral gas processing plant and related field infrastructure are expected to cost a total of approximately $400 million and be completed during the fourth quarter 2019. The Demicks Lake plant will be built in McKenzie County, North Dakota, which is in the core area of the Williston Basin. The plant is supported by acreage dedications with primarily fee-based contracts. The Demicks Lake plant is expected to contribute additional NGL volumes to ONEOK's NGL gathering system and natural gas volumes to ONEOK's 50 percent-owned Northern Border Pipeline. ONEOK's Williston Basin natural gas processing capacity will increase to more than 1.2 billion

and capacity of the pipeline will depend on the outcome of the second open season. Subject to the results of the open season, the Gray Oak Pipeline could transport up to 700,000 barrels per day or more of crude oil from the Permian Ba-sin to downstream markets. Assuming the pipeline is fully subscribed, its capacity could ultimately be expanded to ap-proximately 1 million barrels per day of long-haul takeaway. In Corpus Christi, the Gray Oak Pipeline will connect to a new joint venture marine terminal under development by Buck-eye Partners, L.P. Buckeye will have a 50 percent interest in the terminal joint venture and will be the operator, while Phil-lips 66 Partners and Andeavor each will have a 25 percent ownership interest. The terminal will have an initial storage capacity of 3.4 million barrels and is expected to begin opera-tions by the end of 2019.

ExxonMobil and Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. have signed a letter of intent to pursue the creation of a joint ven-ture to construct a pipeline to transport crude oil and conden-sate from multiple locations in the Permian basin to the Texas Gulf Coast. The proposed common carrier pipeline would be designed to ship more than 1 million barrels of crude oil and condensate per day, providing a safe, efficient and cost-ef-fective option to transport ExxonMobil and other third-party production to market destinations in Texas. The pipeline would originate in both Wink and Midland, Texas with delivery points in Webster, Baytown and Beaumont, Texas. A prior-ity would be placed on using existing pipeline corridors to help limit potential community and environmental disruptions.

A subsidiary of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. an-nounced the successful conclusion of the recent open sea-son for its Cactus II Pipeline, a new pipeline system with an initial capacity of 585,000 barrels per day extending from the Permian Basin to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area. Cactus II pipeline capacity is fully committed with long-term third-party shipper contracts totaling 525,000 barrels per day, composed of 425,000 barrels per day of long-term minimum volume commitments and an additional 100,000 barrels per day of commitments associated with long-term acreage dedica-tions. Approximately 60,000 barrels per day is reserved for walk-up shippers. Affiliates of certain third-party contracted shippers have options (exercisable no later than mid-2018) to participate as joint venture partners for up to 35% of Cactus II. PAA is expected to retain 65% ownership and will serve as operator. The Cactus II pipeline system will have origination points at Orla, Wink, Midland, Crane and McCamey, Texas and will be capable of transporting multiple quality segrega-tions. The system includes a combination of capacity on ex-isting pipelines and two new 26-inch pipelines and is expand-able to approximately 670,000 barrels per day through the addition of incremental pumping capacity. The first new pipe-line will extend from Wink to McCamey, TX, and the second new pipeline (which is expected to be owned within the Joint Venture) will extend from McCamey to the Corpus Christi/Ingleside area, and have flexibility to access multiple docks. Permitting, right-of-way and procurement activities are un-derway, and the pipeline system is targeted to be operational in the third quarter of 2019.

Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. will construct the Sunrise Expansion Project. The Partnership plans to ex-tend its Sunrise Pipeline system, which currently originates at Midland and connects with Colorado City, by building ap-proximately 180-miles of 24-inch pipeline from Colorado City, TX to Wichita Falls, TX. The balance of the capacity will be provided by a combination of spare capacity and capacity enhancements to existing pipelines, which include capacity expansions to our Delaware Basin system of up to 200,000 barrels per day. The pipeline system will deliver to Plains' and third-party terminals in Cushing, OK. Subject to timely receipt of necessary permits and regulatory approvals, the additional capacity is expected to be operational in early to mid-2019.

The project includes a total of 59.9 miles of pipeline incorporating 31.6 miles of existing 8-inch and 12-inch diam-eter gas pipeline currently used as gathering facilities and 28 miles of new 12-inch diameter pipeline. The pipeline facilities begin at a new point of interconnection with Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC adjacent to the Meadville Compres-sor Station in Crawford County, Pennsylvania and extend to a new delivery point interconnection with the distribution fa-cilities of Dominion Energy Ohio (DEO) in North Kingsville in Ashtabula County, Ohio. The project also includes the recon-struction and conversion of two compressor stations totaling 1,862 hp. The Risberg Line would provide for 55,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service to northeast Ohio markets. The estimated cost to construct the project and to acquire the existing gathering pipeline is about $88 million. If approved, anticipated in-service date is November 2018.

San Mateo Black River Oil Pipeline, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of San Mateo Midstream, LLC, announced its binding open season to gauge shipper interest in commit-ted crude oil interstate transportation service on the Rustler

Breaks Pipeline Project, a proposed approximately 17-mile, 10-inch diameter crude petroleum gathering and transporta-tion system to be constructed and operated by San Mateo from certain points of origin in Eddy County, New Mexico to an interconnect with Plains Pipeline, L.P. in Eddy County, New Mexico. This open season provides an opportunity for shippers to support the project by making acreage dedica-tions and volume commitments for priority (firm) service, or acreage dedications for non-firm committed service, thereby becoming committed shippers for the term of their transpor-tation services agreements. The final volume of capacity for both committed and uncommitted service on the project will be determined by San Mateo in part based on the results of this open season. The binding open season began May 9, 2018 and ended on June 8, 2018.

Steel Reef requests FERC certification by July 2, 2018.

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and Nexus Gas Trans-mission has received notice to proceed with construction of the Phased Two of the TEAL project (part of the NEXUS project). Texas Eastern proposes to have the Phase Two TEAL Project facilities completed by November 1, 2018. The Phase Two facilities include: a new compressor station, the Salineville Compressor Station, which includes two Taurus gas turbine compressor units (18,800 hp total) along Texas Eastern’s 30-inch Line 73 in Franklin Township, Columbiana County, Ohio; an additional Taurus gas turbine compressor unit (9,400 hp) and incremental gas cooling at Texas East-ern’s existing Colerain Compressor Station in Colerain Town-ship, Belmont County, Ohio; and a communication tower lo-cated along the project route at the Salineville Compressor Station site. Texas Eastern states that the proposed project will create capacity necessary to provide 950,155 Dth per day of firm transportation service from the Appalachian Basin to a new interconnection with the NEXUS Project in Columbiana County, Ohio. Texas Eastern estimates that the proposed TEAL Project will cost approximately $183,519,668. NEX-US and Texas Eastern have entered into a Capacity Lease Agreement that provides that Texas Eastern will construct, own, and operate the TEAL Project facilities and abandon by lease to NEXUS all of the incremental capacity associated with the proposed facilities.

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP and Brazoria Intercon-nector Gas Pipeline, LLC (BIG Pipeline) filed jointly an ap-plication with the FERC seeking approval to construct certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the Stratton Ridge Expansion Project, and is designed to provide the capacity necessary for Texas Eastern to trans-port up to 322,000 dekatherms per day of natural gas on a firm basis from Texas Eastern’s existing interconnections to a delivery point on the BIG Pipeline near Stratton Ridge, Texas. The Stratton Ridge Project would consist of: a new Angle-ton Compressor Station, consisting of a 12,500 horsepower electric motor-driven compressor in Brazoria County, Texas; a new 0.5 mile, 30-inch-diameter pipeline lateral in Brazoria County, Texas to interconnect with the BIG intrastate pipe-line system; installation of Clean Burn Equipment at the Mont Belvieu Compressor Station in Chambers County, Texas; and installation of minor auxiliary and support facilities (launcher and receiver modification, valves, piping modification) at ex-isting Texas Eastern facilities in San Jacinto, Lavaca, Waller, and Shelby Counties, Texas. In-service is slated for 2019.

TransCanada Corporation announced that the National En-ergy Board (NEB) has recommended the federal government approve a variance to the previously issued North Montney Mainline Project certificate, which would allow construction to start on the proposed $1.4 billion natural gas project in northeast British Columbia. The project is being advanced by

TransCanada’s wholly-owned subsidiary, NOVA Gas Trans-mission Ltd. (NGTL), as an expansion of the existing NGTL System. It is backed by 20-year commercial contracts with 11 shippers to transport approximately 1.5 billion cubic feet (1.6 million gigajoules) of natural gas per day. The project was originally approved in 2015, subject to conditions making construction contingent on a positive final investment deci-sion on the then-proposed Pacific Northwest LNG liquefac-tion project. In March 2017, NGTL sought approval to remove those conditions and had restructured the commercial project arrangements and the associated facilities to accommodate a delay or, as occurred in July 2017, a cancellation of the Pacific Northwest LNG project. The project consists of ap-proximately 206 kilometers (128 miles) of 42-inch pipeline, compression and associated metering facilities. It will boost the economy by supporting thousands of high-quality con-struction jobs and deliver an estimated $100 million in con-struction contracts for Indigenous businesses and workers. Subject to timely federal approval, construction is expected to start by the third quarter of 2018, with an anticipated in-service date of mid-2019. The NEB also provided guidance on the tolling principles to be applied to the project. NGTL will work with its shippers to address these requirements. This project represents a significant component of NGTL’s $7.2 billion multi-year infrastructure expansion program that will increase transportation capacity for Western Canada produc-ers and provide downstream markets increased access to clean-burning natural gas.

TransCanada Corporation announced that it will move for-ward with a proposed $140-million expansion of its NOVA Gas Transmission Ltd. (NGTL) System following the suc-cessful completion in March of an expansion capacity open season for incremental firm export delivery service at the Empress/McNeill Export Delivery Point. Shippers have ex-ecuted binding agreements for 280 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of incremental firm delivery service that will com-mence November 2021. The average term of the contracts awarded for the expansion capacity is 22 years. NGTL also concurrently executed incremental intra-basin firm delivery service contracts with other shippers for an aggregate vol-ume of 75 MMcf/d that contribute to the need for the new facilities.This new investment is a component of NGTL’s $7.3-billion multi-year infrastructure expansion program that will increase transportation capacity for Western Canada pro-ducers and provide downstream markets increased access to clean-burning natural gas.

TransCanada Corporation launched an open season to so-licit binding commitments from interested parties for trans-portation of crude oil on the Marketlink Pipeline System from Cushing, Oklahoma to markets on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Interested parties may submit binding bids for transportation capacity during the open season that will close at 12 p.m. MT on July 13, 2018.

This is a story that needs to be told. In 1973 the Brown & Root Pipeline lay barge, L. B. Meaders, was caught in a very bad storm off the coast of Germany in the North Sea. The storm continued to build until the waves reached 35 to 40 feet. During the storm the Meaders was under tow into the seas by a Theriot tug boat out of Houma, Louisiana. It was all the tug could do to pull the barge north along the German coast into the rough seas battling very strong head winds. This went on for several days and the storm did not let up. Finally it became clear that we had gone as far north as we could go and that the waves would be even larger and more difficult to navigate in the bay that we were approaching. The decision was made to turn the barge around and head south with the seas and the wind at our back. All hands were ordered into life jackets and onto the deck as this was a very dangerous maneuver which would cause the barge to be side-ways in these dangerous waves. After the turn was completed the barge was being pushed by the wind and the waves to-ward the tug which was having a hard time keeping the tow line tight. When the tug was going up with a wave the Meaders was going down the wave behind it. At times the waves were so

high that the tug boat would completely disappear from sight. After several more days of battling the relentless storm, the tug at last pulled the barge into the harbor at Stavanger Norway. Several members of the barge crew and I met the captain of the Theriot tug at the bar in the hotel where some of us were staying. He told us how his crew had threatened to take over his boat as they were sure the barge was going to sink their boat. The barge would get very close to the tug as it came crashing down with a wave and they feared the barge would come down on top of the tug. The Captain had to almost come to blows with some of his crew to keep them from cutting the tow line between the tug and the barge. Had they cut that line, he told us, the barge would have eventually turned sideways into the seas and the massive waves would have flipped the barge over. The barge would have sank and it is likely that most or all of us would have died.

It is my hope that someone will remember this brave Captain’s name and he will be remembered as the man who saved 200 plus pipeliners lives. To me this man was a hero.

A story that needs to be toldby John "Red" Peebles

It is with saddened hearts but faith in God's divine mercy, that the cherished family of Barbara Ann Martin, age 74, of Monticello, Arkansas has to announce that she has passed on to see her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, that she loved so much on June 17, 2018. Ever courageous, not to be defeated until God was ready to call her home, she

fought the good fight with her wonderful team of doctors, nurs-es, and staff members of The UAMS Multiple Myeloma Institute and Hospital in Little Rock for one year. Through their much appreciated efforts, from the start to the end, Barbara was able to spend that time with family, friends, see a granddaughter get married, and her youngest granddaughter graduate from high school. These are the things that she had set as her goals. Once those things were accomplished, God decided He need-ed this most devoted wife, mother, and grandmother to come to Heaven to join Him as His newest angel on the streets of gold. As a complication of her disease, she would succumb to it while trying to fight her way back into remission, with family and friends at her side at UAMS Hospital on Father's Day. God knows the time and the hour for us all, and there is comfort in knowing that it was His decision that He now needed his pre-cious child and loyal servant at His side for all of eternity. The Heavenly Father loved her and she loved Him, and on Father's Day, she got to see Him in all of His glory. It is certain that she is having a joyous time singing her favorite song, "Love Lifted Me", with the angelic congregation. And it is even more certain that she is now at peace and in comfort. Barbara Ann Martin was born in Monticello, AR in Drew County where she resided her entire life until her death. She was the middle daughter of the late John Sykes Griffin and Josephine Sawyer Griffin also from Monticello. She was a graduate of Monticello High School and as a teenager loved to go to local dances with her family, where she perfected the Two Step, The Waltz, and the Jitter-bug. It was at a dance in Dermott, AR where she would meet her husband of 56 years, Robert H. Martin, from Wilmar, AR. When he saw her Jitterbug and how pretty she was, he had to dance with her. When she saw his clear, blue eyes, she decided right then and there she was going to marry him. That first dance would lead to marriage on February 16, 1962 and a life-time of love, happiness, and family. They would dance and travel all over the USA in the pipeline construction industry until their retirement in 2011. Barbara was a devoted housewife and was known as an excellent cook. She loved her husband, her life, her home, and her family. She was a Southern Baptist, saved by God's grace and baptized into the faith by the late Brother Joe Worbington. She would later become a charter member of Calvary Baptist Church, which was began in her home in The Enon Community on September 25, 1985 under the guidance of the late Reverend Charles E. "Buddy" Carter. That church would eventually grow and require a new building at its current location in Monticello on Highway 425. She was proud of that church, was a dedicated member, loved her church family, and served as a Sunday School teacher. Her illness was the only thing that could keep her from attending church "when-ever the doors were open". But once she regained her strength in remission, she made sure she was back at church on Sun-

days to hear God's Word preached by her Pastor, Brother Gary Carter. Not to be "defeated by The Devil" she was proud to say to everyone in her last days that she taught her Sunday School class once again two weeks before her death. The walking def-inition of being a Christian, Barbara Ann was a charitable, self-less, and a giving person. She had a heart that had enough love for everyone she met. She would do anything for anyone to help them, even those who were not related to her. But most of all, and more than anything on this earth, she loved her husband and her two sons. She devoted her whole life to loving and car-ing for them. She was the wife and mother that everyone dreams of having in their life. As a wife she was devoted, loyal, in love, and committed. In regards to being a mother she was unwavering, caring, nurturing, protective, encouraging, stead-fast, and strong. Her family home at 1464 South 16th Section Road in the Enon Community was her pride and joy, and she had an "Open Door Policy" to all that stepped foot on her front porch. She wanted everyone who came to her home to feel welcome no matter who they were or where they came from. No matter what, she opened her home, her heart, and her arms to all. Outside the doors of her home in her community, town, home state of Arkansas, and across the nation in her travels as a pipeliner's wife, she touched many lives with her smile and cheerful disposition. She believed in "Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "To love thy neighbor as thyself", practicing it faithfully in words and deeds. To try and count the number of good things she did, or the lives she touched in her 74 years, would be as impossible as counting the number of stars in the heavens. And to be honest, she would never want them to be counted in the first place. That is be-cause all of the good things she did for people was to give "God all the glory" and to not take any credit for herself. Besides be-ing a homemaker, she was a former Enon Community 4-H Leader, a cafeteria worker at Monticello Junior High School, a Monticello School District Bus Driver, a member of The Team-sters Pipeline Union, and Committee Member and longtime Chairman for The Annual Pipeliner's Reunion. Due to her devo-tion as a pipeliner's wife, and her work later in life on the pipe-line as a Teamster, she was inducted into The Pipeliner's Hall of Fame in 2006. To bring an obituary to a close is as difficult as it is to let go of someone who was, and will forever more, be loved by her family and so many. How can one ever sum up the life of anyone in just a few paragraphs? It is very hard to do. But, I will try in one single sentence: "Barbara Ann Martin was, as far as her family is concerned, the greatest wife, mother, and grand-mother who ever walked on this earth." And because of the way she conducted her life, her memory will live on through her re-maining family and others by what she showed them in the ex-ample she set for them. She believed in "Never giving up and never giving in". And that is what she would want for all that mourn her passing. Barbara Ann would want everyone to re-member her well, and to do it with a smile. She would want us all to live our lives to the fullest and cherish all the precious memories. Barbara Ann Martin lived her life that way and she fought for her life that way until the very end surrounded by her family.

Bolding was a self-employed farmer and owner of Bolding Farms in West Carroll Parish, along with his wife, Joanne. He began farming in 1965 with 160 acres and through the years built his enter-prise to include 2000 acres of soybeans, grain sorghum, and wheat production. In 1967 the Oak Grove Jaycees named him Outstanding Young Farmer of the Year which was the first of what would become a legacy of recognition for his extraordi-nary agricultural expertise and service. He became a pioneer in successfully adopting and implementing new conservation and farming practices. He always had a passion for the land and achieved much through his hard work, yet he remained well grounded through his family, his faith, and his community. Bold-ing was selected as the 2009 Louisiana Farmer of the Year and was recognized for a lifetime of service and accomplishments in agriculture. He served in advisory roles in many organizations including the LSU AgCenter Advisory Committee, Louisiana Soybean Association, Sweet Potato Council, Cattlemen's Asso-ciation, and Pittman Island Hunting Club Wildlife Management Program. In 2010 he received the Distinguished Service to Ag-riculture Award from the North Louisiana Agri-Business Council for a lifetime of dedication as he worked tirelessly within the state as a tremendous supporting force for farmers and agri-culture. Throughout his lifetime, Bolding committed to helping his community in many areas including the Macon Economic Opportunity Board of Directors, the West Carroll National Bank Board of Directors, Oak Grove Masonic Lodge, the West Carroll Hospital Board of Directors, Farmers Home Administration, and the Louisiana Agricultural Finance Authority. Bolding played a major role as a member of First Baptist Church of Oak Grove for many years, giving his time and devotion to serve as President of his Sunday School Class and assistant teacher. He served as Chairman of the Deacons, Chairman of the Usher Commit-tee, and on many other various committees. Bolding served decades on the West Carroll Farm Bureau Board of Directors in leadership positions as Secretary-Treasurer for many years, as President for 23 years, and as a voting delegate to the state conventions since 1967. He also traveled to Washington DC several times as a delegate of the Louisiana Farm Bureau Fed-eration to meet with US Congressional representatives to dis-cuss Farm Bills and agricultural issues. He was instrumental in building the new West Carroll Parish Farm Bureau Office and
