ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An upcoming trip could create some problems with your schedule unless you tie up as many loose ends as possible before you head out the door. Ask a friend or colleague to help you.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Being eager to start a new project is fine. However, moving ahead without knowing what will actually be expected of you could cause a problem down the line. Ask some questions.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Getting through some recent challenges in good shape might give you a false sense of security. Don’t relax your guard. You need to be prepared for what else could happen.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still advised, even though you think you’re as prepared as you need to be at the moment. Keep in mind that change is in your aspect, and you should expect the unexpected.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Lion’s gift of persuasion helps you get your points across, even to some of your most negative naysayers in the workplace. Also, an old friend might seek you out for some advice.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Being sure of your convictions is fine, but leave some room for dissenting opinions. You might learn something that could help you avoid a possible problem later on.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Getting good legal advice on what your rights actually are is the first step toward resolving that pesky problem so that it doesn’t reemerge at a later date. Good luck.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Longtime relationships work well this week, whether they’re personal or professional. It’s also a good time to invite new friends and colleagues into your life.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) This is a good week to do the research that will help you uncover irrefutable facts for a project; this will back you up on your new venture when you most need it.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Change is an important factor in your aspect this week and could affect something you might have thought was immune to any sort of adjustment or “alteration.”
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Being asked to share someone’s deeply personal confidence might be flattering, but accepting could be unwise. Decline gracefully but firmly.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) As wise as you are, you could still be misled by someone who seems to be sincere but really isn’t. Take more time to assess the situation before making any commitments.
BORN THIS WEEK: You like to face challenges that others might try to avoid, and by doing so, you set an example of courage for all.

Q:I know it’s not even Halloween yet, but when will the Hallmark Christmas movies begin airing? I hope they’re not being postponed because of the strikes. — L.E.
A:Itappears filming was already completed before the writers’ and actors’ strikes began. According to Entertainment Weekly, the Hallmark Channel, the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network, and the streaming service Hallmark Movies Now will air a combined 42 new holiday movies starting this October — Oct. 20 to be exact.
One of the most anticipated is a “Party of Five” reunion with Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf in “A Merry Scottish Christmas.” The actors played siblings in the late-1990s series and will once again star as brother and sister — but as different characters.
Both are veterans of the Hallmark Channel, but this is the first time they’ve teamed up in decades. Chabert told Variety that the two have talked for years about doing another project together.
The screenplay for “A Merry Scottish Christmas” was written by “Dateline” correspondent Andrea Canning and author Audrey Schulman. The film follows two siblings who reunite in Scotland with their mother at Christmas where “a big family secret is revealed.”
VICTIM
The movie premieres on the original Hallmark Channel on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. ET.
In addition to Chabert and Wolf, other returning Hallmark favorites include Catherine Bell, Jonathan Bennett, James Denton, Ryan Paevey, Bethany Joy Lenz and Victor Webster. Be sure to visit EW.com/movies/hallmark-christmas-movie-schedule-2023 for release dates, times and more details on Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas.

Q:
Is it true that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are dating, or is this just a publicity stunt? How serious is it? — C.E.
A:Back in July, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce attended Taylor Swift’s concert as a fan, but also with the hope of meeting her in person backstage. He reportedly made her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it, but still didn’t get to meet the pop star in person. Fast forward a couple months, and rumors began swirling
that the two did eventually connect and are, in fact, dating. It wasn’t until Swift attended a Chiefs game in person, cheering him on next to his mom, Donna, that the rumor was confirmed to be true. If you didn’t get a ticket to Swift’s live concert tour this past year, you can see her on screen in “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” at your local movie house beginning Oct. 13.

Q:Is it true that Mark Wahlberg is quitting acting? When will his last movie be? — K.J.
A:In a candid interview with Cigar Aficionado, 52-year-old movie star Mark Wahlberg recently admitted that his days of acting “at the pace I am now” will end sooner rather than later. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s retiring completely, but he does want to spend more time with his wife and four kids, who now live in Nevada instead of Los Angeles.
Wahlberg’s already starting to transition to an off-camera role in show business as a producer and hopes to begin directing, but still has several starring roles on the horizon, including “The Six Billion Dollar Man.”

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

treme cold weather across Saskatchewan this week re sulted in record-breaking natural gas demand in the province. On December 28 and 29, natural gas con sumption surpassed the previous daily record of 1.57 petajoules (PJ) which was set in February 2021.
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.

Alliance Drilling Rig 2 was drilling northeast of Glen Ewen on gorgeous Sept. 29. Despite weather that has been very agreeable most of the fall, many oil companies are cutting back on their drilling programs.
Just 29 drilling rigs working in Saskatchewan on Oct. 3, and only 26 were drilling for oil
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
“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.”
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
Does it look like the end of December? No. But several oil companies working in Saskatchewan have shut down their drilling programs until the end of the year, meaning three months of no drilling, before planned resumption of drilling in the new year. This, despite oil selling for US$89.33 per barrel of West Texas Intermediate.
The reduction in drilling shows, with the number of rig making hole reduced to just 29. And that includes two helium rigs and one drilling for potash. So the number of rigs looking for oil is just 26.
Those numbers from Oct. 3 are according to RiggerTalk.com, which
posts data from the Canadian Association of Energy Contractors (CAOEC). In southeast Saskatchewan there were only 13 rigs drilling, and one of those was working on potash near Lajord.
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.
Notably, the Lampman area, which is usually a hotspot, was all but devoid of rigs. There was just one working near Wilmar.
Tundra Oil & Gas had one rig just west of Oungre. Gear Energy Ltd. had one rig south of Torquay.
Whitecap Resources had one rig in the Weyburn Unit.
Harvard Resources employed one rig between Halbrite and Hume.

Saturn Oil & Gas and Crescent Point Energy had a rig each working within spitting distance of each other northeast of Forget. Crescent Point had another rig working a little to the north, between Corning and Hazelwood.
Questerre Energy, a name not seen for quite a while, was drilling north of Antler.
Shifting to southwest Saskatchewan, there were only three rigs drilling, and two of those were for North American Helium, at Consul and Glenbain (north of Kincaid). The Consul area is their core, but the helium explorer and producer has been continually stretching its legs throughout the entire region.
Crescent Point had one rig close to Shaunavon, the only rig in the region drilling for oil.
West Central Saskatchewan saw a significant reduction in drilling activity,
with just five rigs working. The area from Kindersley to Dodsland, usually humming, was bereft of rigs. There was one rig working for Teine Energy just north of Kindersley. Baytex Energy and Whitecap each had a rig near Elrose.
Soujourn Energy had one rig northwest of Superb. Strathcona Resources had a rig at Cosine, near the Alberta border.
Northwest Saskatchewan was the one bright spot, if you can call it that, with eight rigs. Baytex had a rig at Winter. Rife Resources had a rig at Waseca. Strathcona had a rig south of Meota.
Cenovus Energy Inc. had a rig north of Marshall, another at Pikes Peak, a third at Spruce Lake, a fourth at Rush Lake and a fifth west of Edam. This is the strongest showing from Cenovus, Saskatchewan’s largest oil producer, in quite some time.

October is EYE CARE AWARENESS
1. The name October has been derived from the Latin “Octo” which means eight because October was the eighth month of the year, according to the Roman calendar. It was called Winterfylleth, meaning the “fullness of winter”, by the Anglo-Saxons because it had the fi rst full moon of the winter season.
2. Columbus Day, the second Monday of October, is a national holiday and celebrated in many countries of the Americas as the anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in America in 1492.
3. Also, in the U.S.A., October not only marks the onset of the festive season but is also celebrated as the National Pizza Month, Popcorn Month, Pork Month and Sausage Month.
4. The famous “October Revolution” led by the Bolsheviks in Russia in 1917 actually happened in November according to the Gregorian calendar but until then, the Russians hadn’t started following the Gregorian calendar. It is a landmark in the Russian history as it marks the inception of the fi rst communist govt. in Russia.
5. Many famous personalities were born in October, including Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi was born on October 2, 1869. He was one of the famous leaders of the Indian Independence...
6. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man from 1995 to 2017, was born on October 28, 1955. He is not only the founder of Microsoft but also an investor, author and philanthropist. He built Microsoft , the world’s largest PC soft ware company. Bill Gates is a proponent of higher taxes, particularly for the rich.
7. Alfred Nobel, the founder of the Nobel Prize, was born on October 21, 1833, in Italy. Following his philanthropist calling, he founded the Nobel Prize. Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honouring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and for work in peace. Note that there is no Nobel prize for Maths.
8. A fun fact about October cites that the winter is hard if the deer have a grey coat in this month. The colour of the coat depends on the severity of winters. Shakespeare, the famous English poet, playwright and actor, has never mentioned October in any of his works. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer and dramatist in the English language.
