Q:I recently saw the movie “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which is based on a true story. Who is the lead actress in it? Is she of Native American heritage? — L.I.
A:Yes,actress Lily Gladstone is of Blackfeet and Nez Perce indigenous ancestry and grew up on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation. She earned her bachelor’s degree of fine arts in acting/ directing at the University of Montana with a minor in Native American Studies. “Killers of the Flower Moon,” the newest film by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese, isn’t her acting debut, but it will very likely lead to her first Oscar nomination, as she has wowed audiences with her performance in a film that also stars Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.
According to an article in Entertainment Weekly, what cemented Gladstone’s decision into taking the role in “Flower Moon” was the fact that Scorsese “sought out input from the Osage community.” The movie, which is based on the book by David Grann, is about a series of real murders in the 1920s that took place on the oil-rich land of Oklahoma’s Osage Nation, which led the newly formed FBI to jump on the case.

Q:Whatever happened to actress Bridgette Wilson? I remembered that she was in the first big Adam Sandler movie “Billy Madison,” but I haven’t seen her in anything lately. — K.J.
A:Bridgette

TAX TIPS
Before landing this high-profile role, Gladstone auditioned but never won roles on the hit series “Yellowstone,” a show she calls “delusional” in its portrayal of her native people. She has appeared in several critically acclaimed series, however, including Showtime’s “Billions” and FX on Hulu’s “Reservation Dogs.”
***
Wilson won the Miss Teen USA pageant in 1990 before making a name in Hollywood over the next couple of decades. After playing Sandler’s love interest in the hit comedy “Billy Madison,” she starred in the action film “Mortal Kombat,” the horror flick “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” and the romantic comedy “Love Stinks.”
Q:
With all the delays because of the strikes, what is the latest on the upcoming “Snow White” movie? Will it be in theaters or just on TV? — H.O.
A:The live-action Disney film “Snow White,” starring Rachel Zegler (“West Side Story”), has postponed its release date. Originally planned to debut in theaters in March 2024, it’s been pushed back to March 21, 2025. It’ll be directed by Marc Webb and co-star Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”) as the Evil Queen.
The original animated “Snow White” film was released in 1937. While the upcoming release is technically live-ac-

The couple has stayed under the radar since Pete retired in 2002 and has been raising their two sons in California.

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.
ly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired gener ating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the nat ural 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 Sta tion (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload

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

Crackers: A Savvy Saver’s Delight
Are you a fan of those fancy, flavorful (and expensive!) crisps you find in gourmet markets? You know, the first to disappear from charcuterie boards everywhere? The ones where there’s rain on the coast (wink, wink!).
Well, I’ve got great news for you just in time for the holidays. You can make your own, and it’s not only cost-effective, but surprisingly easy. These crisps closely resemble their high-end counterparts. Here’s the real magic — one batch yields a whopping 100 crackers for around $5. For reference, they sell for an average of $7.50 for a box of 30 online.
No need for a fancy kitchen setup here. Mix all the ingredients easily by hand in a single bowl, divide the batter between four small loaf pans, bake, cool, slice thin, and bake again. Simple as that.
These homemade crackers are a treat for the taste buds. They’re essential on charcuterie boards, paired with soups, salads or a simple smear of almond butter.
No buttermilk? No problem! You can easily create your own by combining 2 cups of milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice or vinegar. Let rest for 15 minutes, and it’s ready. Alternatively, plain yogurt is a suitable replacement.
IMPOSTER-COAST CRISPS
Yield: 100 crackers
Freeze Time: 3 hours
Cook Time: 1 hour, divided
2 cups whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup assorted seeds
1 cup assorted dried fruit, chopped
1 cup assorted nuts, chopped
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup honey or pure maple syrup
Add the buttermilk and honey, and stir until everything is mixed and the fruit and nuts are evenly distributed. Evenly fill your loaf pans. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes in the pans before turning out onto a rack to cool completely. It’s important that the loaves are completely cool before freezing.
Wrap the cooled loaves in plastic and put in the freezer for 3 hours, or until firm. The loaves can be made in advance and frozen for up to a month before slicing.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Using a serrated bread knife, slice the frozen loaves as thinly as you possibly can. You should get around 25 slices from each loaf.
Place slices in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes on one side, then flip them over and bake for another 15 minutes. Your crackers could take a little more or less time depending on their thickness. Watch carefully so they don’t burn.
www.JasonCoblentz.com
If your crackers aren’t as crisp as you’d like, it’s possible they were sliced a bit thick. Simply reheat the oven to 250F degrees, place the crackers on a sheet pan, and turn the oven off. Leave them in the warm oven for 30 minutes, and they’ll crisp up nicely. Happy snacking!
You can customize the ingredients to your liking. You mix and match seeds, fruits and nuts. The possibilities are endless.
