Kids and adults kick off the season at Kindersley’s Carol Festival
By Joan Janzen
Once again a long-standing tradition took place in Kindersley on Sunday evening, December 3rd. The date marked the night of the Christmas Carol Festival held at St. Paul’s United Church, when a large audience came to enjoy the evening’s performances.
Sharon Haubrich, as MC welcomed everyone, and thanked the audience for supporting music in the community. She also thanked the ushers, sound personnel and those greeting at the door. Before the entertainment began, everyone participated in singing several Christmas carols.
Celebration of the holiday season kicked off with the Mosaic Trio of Vanessa Klassen, Christina Bakanec and Sandy Yiu. They were followed by some of the youngest performers on the program, Felicity and Maria Bosch, Andy Venn, Kenzi Weese and Adalee Marcos.
Throughout the evening, more young people delighted the audience with their performances. They included Brooklyn Hagan, Oriana Gonzalez and Moira Padberg, Reille Longtin, Isabelle Jackson, Angela and Dominic Bosch, Sierra Gardiner, Jayla Peardon and Serenity Malcolm, Ava Watchel and Alexus Bellisle, Sage Barclay-Rosher and Kaitlyn Herner.
The Kindersley Community Choir graced the stage twice during the festival, singing a number of festive tunes. Another traditional performance followed by St. Paul’s United Church Handbell Choir who skillfully performed two numbers.
Six members of the Adult Percussion Ensemble entertained the audience with “I Saw 3 Ships” and “Sleigh Ride”. The evening concluded with MC Sharon wishing everyone all the best this holiday season on behalf of the Kindersley & District Music Festival Committee.
Felicity and Maria Bosch were two of the youngest performers at this year’s Carol Festival.

Firearm Obsession!
Dr. Jason Gladwell, an orthodontist in Raleigh, North Carolina, has a catchy new promotion going, WRAL-TV reported: “Grins and Glocks.” Yep -- patients who sign up for Invisalign braces can choose between a free Glock 19 ($500-plus retail) or a membership to Youngsville Gun Club & Range. The deal is open only to those 21 and older, and the club will conduct a background check on recipients. Dr. Gladwell has received mixed reactions to the come-on; notably, Align Technology, which makes Invisalign, isn’t happy: “Th is promotion does not reflect our brand purpose.”

Rudy Wilcox, 45, of Clearwater, Florida, was “observed defecating on a deceased opossum” on Nov. 15, according to The Smoking Gun. Officers with the Clearwater Police Department said he was in “full view of the motoring public during busy traffic times.” While Wilcox denied the accusation, officers found “physical evidence” to support the charges. Just one question: What would have happened if the opossum were only playing possum?! Wilcox was jailed.

Brian Zinchuk: Nova Scotia and federal government put final bullet in the head of still-twitching offshore gas play
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
Not only was Saskatchewan setting electrical consumption records during the cold snap of last week of December, we also set two consecutive natural gas consumption records, too.
According to SaskEnergy in a Dec. 31 release, “Extreme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week resulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas consumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
Well isn’t that just peachy? Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative government teamed up with the federal Liberal government to put a bullet in the head of the province’s natural gas industry, whose body was apparently still twitching, despite having been thought dead since 2018.
On Dec. 4, Tory Rushton, Nova Scotia Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables, and Jonathan Wilkinson, federal Minister of Energy and Natural Resources issued a joint statement overruling approval of the offshore regulator, Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board.
“A new daily record of 1.62 PJ was set on December 28 and broken again on December 29 with total system delivery of 1.64 PJ. Delivery numbers for December 30 and 31 are not yet finalized, but are also expected to exceed 1.6 PJ.”
The natural gas records coincided with record power consumption. On Dec. 29, SaskPower set another record in power consumption for Saskatchewan. At 5:27 p.m. on Dec. 29, 2021, Saskatchewan homes and businesses reached 3,868 megawatts (MW) in power use, according to the Crown corporation. The previous record of 3,792 MW was reached four years ago to the day, on Dec. 29, 2017.
The dollar figure, so far, wasn’t much, just $1.5 million work expenditure bid for the now dead exploration license. But if successful, the company in question, Inceptio Limited, could have maybe, just maybe, revived the offshore gas industry in Nova Scotia.
Saskatchewan’s power production has increasingly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
According to the regulator, there were two bids for eight parcels in the Sable Island area, only one of which was satisfactory. To be clear – the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board was apparently seeking bids for development. As in, they actually wanted companies to come and develop these natural gas resources.

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
All of this added natural gas-fired power generation has, in turn, driven higher usage of natural gas during times of high electrical consumption.
The Crown noted that increased demand from SaskEnergy’s industrial customers, including natural gas use for power production, was the main driver of this week’s record-setting consumption.
Steven Guilbeault speaking at COP28 in Dubai about how Canada would be eliminating venting and flaring, while his partner in crime Wilkinson had it in his power to kill off a new methane (natural gas) project in an area that had been purged of the demon gas industry.
SaskEnergy said it measures daily natural gas consumption for the 24-hour period from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. A PJ is a unit of measurement equivalent to one million gigajoules (GJ) of natural gas. An average Saskatchewan home consumes about 100 GJ of natural gas each year.
No sir. That could not stand. Thus, the announcement killing the Nova Scotia exploration project on the same day as the announcement of the venting and flaring ban. (Saskatchewan calls that a “production cap by default”)
The message is clear to industry – no more new projects if the feds can stop them.
It was very clear in the joint ministerial statement that no more gas projects will be approved, so stop trying.
“SaskEnergy’s natural gas system design can accommodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy president and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Throughout the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In addition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
The ministers overrode the board, saying, “We recognize the expertise of the board and want to reiterate our confidence in the regulatory process that it undertook. However, we both agree that this decision must also account for broader policy considerations, including our shared commitments to advance clean energy and pursue economic opportunities in the clean energy sector, which are beyond the scope of the board’s regulatory purview. This decision will enable us to research and understand the interactions between the two industries as we transition to our clean energy future.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
“Leveraging the experience of the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Board as a world class regulator, Canada and Nova Scotia are actively pursuing the establishment of a joint regulatory regime for offshore renewable energy by amending the Atlantic Accord Acts to expand the board’s mandate so that it can regulate and enable the development of an offshore wind sector in Nova Scotia.
“This will ensure that Nova Scotians can seize the economic benefits associated with the energy transition, including the projected $1-trillion global market opportunity for offshore wind.”
In other words, there’s no future in oil or gas for you, so now you’re going to regulate offshore wind.
Never mind that just a little further down the coast, offshore wind projects are dying off. Never mind that offshore developers are in dire fiscal straits, with billions in losses. Expect the “Offshore Petroleum Board” to get a new name in the coming days.
And shame on the Conservative government of Nova Scotia for going along with this. While the governments of Saskatchewan and Alberta are standing their ground, reasserting control over natural resources, the Nova Scotia Conservatives went along with this travesty.
It’s pretty easy to do, if you don’t have to pay your own bills with your own resoruces. After all, Nova Scotia gets a huge chunk
of its budget from the federal equalization program.
Here’s what Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland wrote to Saskatchewan Deputy Premier and Finance Minister Donna Harpauer in the most recent round of equalization payments:
“In accordance with the legislated formula under the Act and its regulations, your province does not qualify for an Equalization payment for 2023-24.”
Alberta, which has a massive oil and natural gas industry, was similarly stiffed.
And here’s what Freeland wrote to Nova Scotia Minister of Finance Allan MacMaster:
“In accordance with the legislated formula under the Act and its regulations, your province’s Equalization payment for 2023-24 will be $2,802.8 million.”
Alberta and Saskatchewan pay into equalization, largely with money from oil and gas, but Nova Scotia will continue to draw $2.8 billion from it, bit not develop their own natural gas resources.
Nova Scotia’s hospitals are still being paid for by natural gas, except that it’s Alberta and Saskatchewan’s gas, not their own.
Pretty peachy, indeed.

My husband and I have been eagerly awaiting for our “Chicago” shows to return. Is there a definitive premiere date yet? — K.H.
A:Yes, now that the strikes in Hollywood have ended, cast members have returned to their sets for filming. NBC has even started airing commercials officially announcing that “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and Chicago P.D.” will begin airing new episodes, starting at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Jan. 17, in the above order.
Also on NBC, another popular trio of shows — “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU” and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” — will debut their new seasons on Thursday, Jan. 18, beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
Just because these long-running series are returning in January doesn’t mean that every TV network is ready. According to Variety, “the well-established machinery of the ‘One Chicago’ and ‘Law & Order’ franchises allows them to get back into the swing of things rather quickly.”
Q:Is it true that there’s going to be another “Frozen” movie? When is it coming out?
— O.P.
Two recent animated Disney movies — “Elemental” and “Strange World” — didn’t fare so well at the box office, and both were each based on original ideas. So, returning to a preexisting franchise like “Frozen” will be a guaranteed home run.

decade after Disney’s wildly successful musical movie “Frozen” premiered in theaters, a third one is in development — and possibly a fourth. It was initially conceived as a handdrawn animated film back in 1937 based on Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Snow Queen” before it made its way to the big screen in the 21st century.

Stars Idina Menzel and Kristen Bell had originally auditioned for “Tangled” years earlier, both going for the role that Mandy Moore eventually lent her voice to. The wait was worth it, however, because “Frozen” would become the highest-grossing animated film of its time ... that is, until its sequel, “Frozen II,” surpassed it.
As for the “Frozen III” premiere date, online publications are guessing anywhere from 2024 to 2027. What matters, though, is what Disney says, and so far, an official release date hasn’t been set. However, Jennifer Lee, Disney’s animation chief creative officer, has stated that a fourth film might be necessary because “they have a lot of story to tell.”
A:Yes, Jennifer Tilly is still acting, and she’s also best friends with “RHOBH” cast member Sutton Stracke. She’s currently starring in the “Chucky” series streaming on Peacock. She also voices the character of Bonnie on the long-running animated series “Family Guy.” Tilly can also add being Oscar-nominated to her list of achievements for her supporting role in 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway.”
If she has any reality show career aspirations, she hasn’t made it known, but she occasionally appears on “RHOBH” due to her friendship with Stracke. On the show, the two ladies recently greeted Stracke’s beautiful horse, Santos, whom Stracke had purchased overseas.

The world’s foremost authority on wasps is walking down the street when he sees an old vinyl record in the window of an antique shop, “Wasp noises from around the world”.
Intrigued, he goes into the shop and asks if he can listen to it. “Certainly,” says the shop assistant and pops it onto an ancient turntable. After listening to the first track for a while, the world’s foremost authority on wasps is a bit confused.
“I don’t recognise any of these noises, and I’m the world’s foremost authority on wasps! Can you play the next track please?”
The assistant obliges and skips the needle onto the next track after a while, the world’s foremost authority on wasps is still confused “No, I still don’t recognise any of these wasps. Can you try the next track?” The assistant skips the needle on, and the world’s foremost authority on wasps listens for a little while longer before shaking his head. “It’s no good. I just don’t recognise any of these wasps”
The assistant peers at the label of the record and says...
