Q:Is it true that Sam Waterston is leaving “Law & Order”? Who is going to replace him? — K.J.
A:“Law & Order” was resurrected in February 2022 after an 11-year hiatus. It spawned several successful spin-offs, including “Law & Order: SVU,” which has surpassed the original “L&O” in terms of seasons. While he wasn’t an original cast member, Sam Waterston left a prestigious film career to play District Attorney Jack McCoy, starting with the show’s fifth season. He rejoined the show at the age of 81 when it returned two years ago.
He’s since made the decision to exit once again. However, he doesn’t appear to be retiring as he recently stated, “There’s sadness in leaving, but I’m just too curious about what’s next.” Tony Goldwyn (“Scandal”) has been cast as the new DA.
Q:Who are the new coaches I saw on a commercial for “The Voice”? I don’t recognize them. Also, have there been any winners of “The Voice” who have had successful careers on par with “American Idol” winners like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson? — H.A.

most successful debut album of the winners so far and also found success as a songwriter. He penned “Ashes” for the “Deadpool 2” soundtrack, which was recorded by none other than Celine Dion. Last season’s winner who goes by one name — Huntley — has yet to release a single, but he did sing the National Anthem at an NFL game.
A:The 25th season of the singing competition show “The Voice” premiered on NBC in February with returning judges John Legend, Reba McEntire and Chance the Rapper. Joining them this season is the Grammy-winning country/pop duo Dan + Shay, who met when they moved to Nashville, Tennessee, separately.

Dan + Shay hit it big in 2018 with their single “Tequila” and followed that with the crossover hit song “10,000 Hours,” which they recorded with Justin Bieber. The twosome actually isn’t new to “The Voice” — they appeared in season 20 as “battle advisors” for former judge Blake Shelton.
In terms of Billboard rankings, the most successful winners from “The Voice” include Cassadee Pope from season three. She climbed to the topfive spot of the country music chart with the song “Wasting All These Tears.” According to TVLine, she’s since left the genre to return to her pop-punk roots.

A:The
96th(!) Annual Academy Awards will air live on ABC on Sunday, March 10. Jimmy Kimmel will host the ceremony for the second year in a row, and it’ll begin an hour earlier than in past years (7 p.m. ET instead of 8 p.m.). There will also be a 30-minute live pre-show on the red carpet. The earlier time slot is an attempt to boost ratings. With the ceremony expected to end by 10:30 p.m., the network is hoping viewers will stick it out instead of turning off their TVs and other devices before it concludes.

Bran Muffins
I’ve been baking and writing about bran muffins for years. I recently put my favorite recipes to the test, and if my family tasters are honest, I’ve hit on an updated version so good that I have to hide muffins in the recesses of my cupboard pantry if I’m going to get my share.
Still full of good and healthy stuff, this version calls for the raisins to soak a bit so they puff up before getting stirred into the batter. I also added more chopped walnuts. When I did a taste test with two recipes, one with and one without a smooshed-up ripe banana, the one with banana won. It adds a nice taste and texture.
Taste-testing aside, the fun part of muffin-making with kids is that there’s a job for all ages and stages. One child can measure and stir together dry ingredients in one bowl, while another can crack the egg or smoosh the banana in a different bowl. Within minutes, the batter comes together, ready to scoop into little paper cups and bake.
Wash and dry the prepping dishes as a team, and before you know it, you’re poking a toothpick in the middle of a muffin to test its doneness and enjoying a healthy homemade snack in a kitchen where the baking aroma of home wafts through the air.
MOUTHWATERING
BRAN MUFFINS
Makes 12 large muffins
— 2 cups whole wheat flour
— 1 1/2 cups wheat bran
— 1/2 cup wheat germ
— 2 tablespoons brown sugar
— 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
— 1 teaspoon salt
— 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
— 1 egg, lightly beaten
— 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
— 1/2 cup raw blue agave sweetener or 1/3 cup honey
— 1 ripe banana, mashed
— 3/4 cup raisins, soaked in water for 5 minutes and drained
— 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Stir together the flour, bran, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vegetable oil and agave sweetener or honey, until combined. Add the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined; then fold in the banana, raisins and nuts with a few swift strokes. Do not overstir.
Scoop the batter into the muffin cups. An ice-cream scoop works well.
Bake until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve.

Did you know oil and gas is Saskatchewan’s largest industry, as measured by GDP?
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
close brush with possible rolling blackouts stiffens Moe’s resolve to keep the lights on
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
e past weekend proved to be a closerun thing for the Alberta electrical grid, and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is making statements resolving he won’t allow that to happen here.
You’d be forgiven if you thought agriculture was Saskatchewan’s largest industry. By many measures – people and communities impacted, land area affected, and culturally, it certainly is. But not by all measures, apparently. When it comes to GDP –gross domestic product – the measure used to measure economies, oil and gas supersedes mighty ag.
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.
Speci cally, a er having nearly completely divested itself of coal- red power production, Alberta’s dramatic buildout of wind and solar proved impossible to keep the lights on in that province when the chips were down and temperatures hit -35 C, or worse.
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.
“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.”
“In Saskatchewan, we will not attempt the impossible when it comes to power production in our province,” Moe said in a post on X and other social media the evening of Monday, Jan. 15.
In a recent letter from Saskatchewan Minister of Energy and Resources Jim Reiter to federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault opposing the latter’s most recent climate change initiatives – an emissions cap on oil and gas, this nugget stood out:
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.
“We will not risk plunging our homes, schools, hospitals, special care homes and our businesses into the cold and darkness because of the ideological whims of others.
“To support the ongoing power demands across western Canada, Boundary Dam 4 has been restarted to ensure families can continue to keep the heat on. Net zero by 2035 is not only impossible, it’s irresponsible as it would leave Saskatchewan and Western Canadian families freezing and in the dark.”
“Saskatchewan’s oil and gas industry is the province’s largest industry and a major contributor to the provincial economy and to the quality of life enjoyed by the citizens of this province. Each year, Saskatchewan’s oil and gas sector invests significant capital to maintain and grow production and to reduce emissions. In 2022 capital investment totaled $2.8B. Th is investment supports roughly 30,000 direct and indirect jobs connected to Saskatchewan’s upstream oil and gas industry.”
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
Pipeline Online asked the ministry for clarification on that, and received this response by email from the Ministry of Energy and Resources on Feb. 26:
It was in response to the extraordinary events that occurred in Alberta over the weekend, in which Saskatchewan played a key part. And it was also a tacit acknowledgement that as much as SaskPower’s been trying to wean itself o coal, it just can’t do it yet. We still need it to keep the lights on.
“The emissions cap included a GDP of 15 per cent for the oil and gas sector, a number we had been using in recent years and that is based on StatsCan data but based on a 2012 baseline (chained dollars).
“In November 2023, Statistics Canada changed to reporting GDP in chained

(2017) dollars. Using the chained (2017) dollars data, the oil/gas/mining industry accounted for 16.5 per cent of Saskatchewan’s total GDP in 2021, which is very similar to the 16.1 per cent in 2022.
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.
Removing the mining sector, the GDP for Oil and Gas Extraction and related Support Activities calculates to 9.3 per cent in 2022, while the GDP for Crop and Animal Production and related Support Activities is 8.8 per cent.
temperatures reduced wind power generation to nothing at times, and close to nothing for most of the weekend. And since the mass of cold air stretched from the Yukon to Texas, every grid operator in between was in the same boat – high demand but short supply. e Southwest Power Pool, which incorporates parts of 14 states from south of Saskatchewan to the Texas Panhandle, as well as Texas grid operator ERCOT, all put out various forms of alerts suggesting their clients reduce electrical 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.
Oil and Gas Activity and Agriculture produce relatively similar levels of GDP, with each sector’s GDP being sensitive to production levels and commodity prices in a given year.”
“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.”
The fact that agriculture is the focus of almost every small town in southern Saskatchewan, while oil and gas is isolated to a few dozen communities in southeast, southwest, west central and northwest Saskatchewan, means that oil and gas punches substantially over its weight, as it were.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
Staring into the abyss e rst three of Alberta’s grid alerts ran from mid-a ernoon until late evening, but the fourth occurred for an hour on Monday morning, as the workweek began. e second of those grid alerts turned out to be the most signi cant. On Saturday, Jan. 13, Alberta came within a half-hour of rotating blackouts, an Alberta Electric System Operator spokesperson told CBC News on Jan. 15, con rmed by Alberta A ordability and Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf the same day.
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.
Indeed, the province stood at the brink of the abyss Saturday night, as rotating blackouts would have impacted di erent areas of the province for 20 to 30 minutes at a time, as temperatures ranged from -30 to -45 C, depending on where you were in the province. As the province’s grid-scale batteries neared depletion, and there was nothing le to call upon, the AESO and provincial government put out an emergency alert to all cellphones and TV screens, asking Albertans to shut o and unplug everything they could, from electric vehicle chargers to ovens to bathroom fans.
The significance becomes apparent in the province’s stated goal of increasing oil production by roughly a third, from the current 454,000 barrels per day to 600,000 barrels per day. The provincial government is concerned that the federal government’s proposed Methane 75 program, calling for a reduction of methane emissions by 75 per cent by 2030, and a emissions cap on oil and gas production, could result in a 20 to 30 per cent reduction of oil production – roughly 100,000 to 150,000 barrels per day. So instead of an increase by a third, if the federal government’s wishes are fulfi lled, Saskatchewan would see a one-third reduction, in its most significant industry.
