MOMENTS in TIME
* On Nov. 6, 1869, Rutgers beat Princeton, then known as the College of New Jersey, 6-4 in the first college football game. Played with a soccer ball before roughly 100 fans in New Brunswick, New Jersey, it more resembled rugby than today’s version of football.
* On Nov. 7, 2016, American lawyer and public official Janet Reno, who was the first female attorney general of the United States from 1993-2001, died at age 78 from complications related to Parkinson’s disease.
* On Nov. 8, 1994, Salvatore “Sonny” Bono was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Best known as the pop-singer husband of Cher, after their divorce he left the music world behind to launch several successful restaurants, until frustration with bureaucratic hurdles around one of his construction projects in Palm Springs, California, sparked his foray into politics.
* On Nov. 9, 1971, John List murdered his family in their Westfield, New Jersey, home before disappearing. Though police quickly identified the Sunday School teacher and Boy Scout troop leader as the most likely suspect in the case, it would take another 18 years for them to locate him
and bring him to justice.
* On Nov. 10, 1808, the Osage tribe agreed to abandon their lands in Missouri and Arkansas in exchange for a reservation in Oklahoma. The decision eventually made them the richest surviving Native American nation in North America after they amassed enormous wealth in the 20th century from oil and gas deposits.
* On Nov. 11, 1942 , Congress approved lowering the draft age to 18 and raising the upper limit to age 37, though initially Black citizens were passed over because of racist assumptions about their abilities and the viability of a mixed-race military. As World War II progressed, however, they were included and finally allowed to serve in combat.
* On Nov. 12, 1799, American astronomer Andrew Ellicott observed the Leonids meteor shower from a ship off the Florida Keys. In the first recorded instance of such an event in North America, he wrote that the “whole heaven appeared as if illuminated with sky rockets, and I was in constant expectation of some of them falling on the vessel. They continued until put out by the light of the sun after day break.”
Three men are sitting in the sauna. Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The first man presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly.
“That’s my pager,” he says. “I have a microchip under the skin of my arm.”
A few minutes later a phone rings. The second man lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains, “That’s my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand.”
The third man, feeling decidedly low-tech, steps out of the sauna. In a few minutes he returns with a piece of toilet paper extending from his rear. The others raise their eyebrows. “I’m getting a fax,” he explained.

Q:
I read that Martin Scorsese’s new movie is more than three hours long. Will it have an intermission? What is the longest movie ever made anyway? — K.K.
A:Widely considered one of America’s greatest film directors, Martin Scorsese is known for making films that are anything but short. His latest release, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” clocks in at three hours and 26 minutes, and he makes no apologies for not having an intermission. He recently told the Hindustan Times that if viewers at home “can sit in front of the TV and watch something for five hours,” people can sit and watch a movie in theaters for more than three hours.
However, he doesn’t mention that many Broadway plays and musicals do include intermissions, and those who prefer the couch to their local moviehouse have the option to hit pause for a bathroom break. But if “Killers of the Flower Moon” turns out to be as great as the initial reviews are stating, you won’t want to take a break, even if your bladder has other ideas.
OUTREACH
According to Guinness World Records, the longest film ever made is the aptly titled “The Cure for Insomnia,” an 85-hour experimental movie that was released in 1987. Before that film, 1963’s “Cleopatra,” starring Elizabeth Taylor, premiered at four hours and three minutes, but was then edited down to three hours and four minutes.
ford as Randy and Traylor Howard as Natalie. Bitty Schram is also expected to appear as Sharona in flashback scenes.
Also, despite its definitive-sounding title, the series’ creator, Andy Breckman, says that he hopes to follow it up with another movie someday. “A Monk Movie” premieres Dec. 8 on Peacock.

When “Titanic” came out in 1997, the debate about intermissions was brought up. Director James Cameron didn’t seem concerned, though, and even went beyond that length last year with his film “Avatar: The Way of Water,” which audiences flocked to see despite it being three hours and 12 minutes.

A:Yes, the acclaimed two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine is now 90 years old and is done accepting roles. He’s starred in more than 100 films and wants to end his career on a high note, having earned great reviews for his current and final film “The Great Escaper.” In the movie, he plays a nursing home resident who breaks out to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings at Normandy.
Is it true that “Monk” is coming back? Will it still have the same cast and, obviously, Tony Shalhoub? — L.S.
A:Tony Shalhoub is soon returning to his three-time Emmy-winning role of Detective Adrian Monk, but in the form of a movie, not a new series. “Mr. Monk’s Last Case: A Monk Movie” reunites the cast for the first time since the series ended in 2009. Returning are Ted Levine as Leland, Jason Gray-Stan-
However, Caine isn’t done exploring art. He’s written his first work of fiction, a thriller called “Deadly Game,” and plans to keep writing. “Deadly Game” will be released on Amazon and in stores on Nov. 23.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply
Can solar power essentially flatline for a whole
day? It did in Alberta on Monday
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
Just because the sun comes up in the morning, it does not mean its going to produce much in the way of usable solar power.
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.
Winter weather blew through Alberta on Monday, Oct. 23, and with it came increased need for power, but decreased capacity to produce it –through solar panels, anyways.
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.
Despite having 1,292 megawatts of installed solar power, Alberta saw less than one-thirteenth of that throughout the whole day, and of course, none when the sun went down.
“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 Travers Solar Project in Vulcan County was touted by Alberta Energy Minister Brian Jean on Friday, Oct. 20 as the largest in Canada. It has a nameplate capacity of 465 megawatts, and frequently hits that number on sunny days. But that solar facility maxed out at 51 megawatts at 1:16 p.m., according to Dispatcho.app, which logs data from the Alberta Electric System Operator. That’s 10.9 per cent of its capacity. And most of the day, its output was much lower than that.
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.
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
As for the 35 other solar farms in Alberta besides Travers, which is in a class of its own, not one solar farm produced more than 7 megawatts the entire day. Indeed, only one made it to 7 megawatts. Most of the larger facilities topped out at 5.

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.
is possible that solar generation briefly spiked, the highest hourly sample recorded was 93 megawatts, at 12:39 p.m. That time is corresponds within 38 minutes of the Travers peak. That means at 12:39 p.m., during the noon hour when the sun is highest, Alberta’s solar generation topped out at 7.2 per cent of nameplate capacity.
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.
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.
However, at the same time, Alberta’s two remaining coal generators were operating at 98.5 per cent capacity, producing 808 megawatts out of 820 nameplate capacity. That one remaining coal facility was producing more than 8x the entire fleet of 36 solar farms were at their mid-day peak.
“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.
For context, the federal government, through its Clean Electricity Regulations, is pushing the implementation of non-emitting power generation, especially wind and solar. Those regulations would see unabated natural gas power generation prohibited by 2035, allowed to operate only if extremely efficient and costly carbon capture is implemented. Without carbon capture, natural gas power generation would only be allowed to operated for 450 hours per year, an allotment Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said would be used up before the end of January.
SaskPower is on course to add another 3,000 megawatts of wind and solar projects by 2035, to be built and operated by independent power producers.

Spooktacular Spiced Dark Chocolate Brownie
Pear-fect for Halloween
Are you ready for a ghoulishly delightful and creatively creepy dessert? This recipe may be a little unorthodox, but the results are sure to impress your Halloween party guests. We’re taking the classic boxed brownie mix and turning it into something extraordinary. With a few simple tweaks and the addition of sculpted pears, you’ll have a dessert that’s both delicious and fun.
Since we’re on the subject, here’s how to give all your boxed brownie mixes a miraculous makeover. To the recipe on the box, consider these enhancements: Replace the oil with melted butter. Add an extra egg or just the yolk for extra richness. Swap out the water with coffee for a flavor boost. Include a teaspoon of flavoring like vanilla or almond. And lastly, always stir the batter by hand, no need for a hand mixer. By making these changes, no one will ever guess that you’re using a boxed mix, and you’ll end up with a luscious, homemade-like brownie.
Yield: 12 servings
Total Time: 90 minutes
1/4 cup crystallized ginger, finely minced
2 teaspoons granulated sugar (divided)
1/3 cup melted butter
1 whole egg
1 egg, separated
1 (18-ounce) boxed supreme dark chocolate chunk brownie mix
2 teaspoons dried ground ginger
1/4 cup cold coffee or water
3 fresh unpeeled ripe Bosc pears
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Preheat your oven to 350 F and generously grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared springform pan and bake at 350 F for 15 minutes.
While the brownie partially bakes, it’s time to sculpt the pears into skull shapes.
Wash the pears but do not peel them. Cut them in half lengthwise and use a small spoon or apple corer to remove the core and the vein that runs to the top stem.
Position the halved pear so the flat side is down and the larger end of the pear is on top. Use a small spoon or apple corer to scoop out two holes for the eyes, then cut out the nose with a very small spoon or a straw. Use a paring knife to score the smaller end to look like teeth.
www.JasonCoblentz.com
Drain excess moisture by placing them flat side down on paper towels.
By now, your brownie should be partially baked. Remove the brownie and reduce the oven temperature to 300 F.
This Spooktacular Pear-Infused Dark Chocolate Brownie Cake is a Halloween masterpiece, blending the richness of ginger and dark chocolate with the sweetness of pears in a creative and fun dessert.
GHOULISHLY GOOD SPICED DARK CHOCOLATE & PEAR BAKE
Begin by mincing the crystallized ginger with a teaspoon of granulated sugar (this helps prevent sticking). You’ll need about 1/4 cup. Set aside. Melt the butter, set aside. In two small bowls, separate the eggs. Add the second egg yolk and most of the white to the first egg and reserve about a tablespoon of the egg white for later as a glaze.
In a mixing bowl, combine the boxed brownie mix with the dried and crystallized ginger. Add the melted butter, coffee (or water), and the eggs. Stir by hand until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
On a small plate, combine cornstarch with a teaspoon of sugar. Dip the cut side of each pear into the cornstarch mixture before placing them artistically on top of the partially baked brownie. Whip the reserved egg white with a teaspoon of sugar until frothy. Brush this glaze over the skulls. Return the skull-infested brownie to the oven for 50 minutes. Your guests will be thrilled by the hauntingly delicious creation you’ve prepared. Enjoy!
