Kindersley RCMP partners with area businesses to deter catalytic converter theft

Catalytic converter theft has been on the rise over the past year in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan RCMP received 173 reports of thefts of catalytic converters in 2021. That is up 810% from 2020, when there were only 19 reported thefts.

In partnership with local businesses, Kindersley RCMP is looking to help deter would-be thieves by creating the ‘You Etch It. We Catch It!’ program. Through the program, participating local businesses can, at the request of the owner, engrave the last 8 digits of a vehicle’s vehicle identification number (VIN) onto its catalytic converter, free of charge.

Officers, on occasion, have caught suspects with catalytic converters in their possession, however they have been unable to prove they were stolen. This has also meant the RCMP were unable to return them to their rightful owners due to a lack of identifying information. With the VIN etched onto the catalytic converter, it greatly increases the likelihood

that criminals committing these crimes can be held accountable for their actions.

The Kindersley area has had relatively few reports of catalytic converter theft. “That’s a trend the Kindersley RCMP would like to see continue,” says Staff Sergeant Kevin Peterson, Detachment Commander for Kindersley RCMP. “Our Detachment would like to be proactive and try and prevent these types of thefts in our detachment area before it becomes a problem.”

Current participating businesses include:

• Energy Dodge

• Fountain Tire

• Integra Tire

• Kindersley Mainline King of Trucks

• Tisdale Ford

Any other businesses who wants to participate can contact the Kindersley RCMP Detachment and any member of the public who wishes to have their catalytic converter etched may contact a participating business.

Bake Super-Easy Soft Pretzels

Enjoy the smell and feel the warmth of something special baking in your oven this week. These Austrian-style soft pretzels are a healthy and satisfying snack dipped in yummy mustard or as a unique accompaniment to a big bowl of soup.

They also can be sliced in half while still warm for a tasty slider-style Reuben sandwich.

Making them is so easy, even your preschoolers can get in on the action, twisting and turning the soft dough. If you provide daycare in your home, the kids will keep busy creating their own shape or design for a unique treat fresh from their imagination. They are fun to make and bake at a birthday party or a sleepover, too.

My shortcut method uses prepared bread dough from the freezer section of your grocery store.

EASY SOFT PRETZELS

(Makes 12)

All-purpose flour for flouring work surface

1 pound frozen white or wholewheat bread dough, thawed

1 slightly beaten egg white Coarse salt, sesame seeds, caraway seeds or cinnamon sugar for toppings Mustard, for dipping (optional)

1. Place the thawed dough on a floured cutting board or kitchen count-

2. Sprinkle flour on your hands and roll the pieces into a 1/2-inch thick by 18-inch-long rope. Hold the ends with two hands and flip it around and around like a jump rope to help lengthen it. For a standard pretzel design, make a U shape with the rope and set it on the surface. Hold each end of the U, cross the rope over and twist the ends around each other one time, leaving about 2 inches from the crossing point to the tips. Lift and press the ends onto the curved bottom of the U to form the pretzel. For a variation, make alphabet letter shapes or simple designs like a heart.

Get creative when shaping these soft pretzels. Even preschoolers can join in the fun.

3. Transfer pretzels to a greased or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Cover and allow to rise for about 20 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 400 F. Let your child brush each pretzel with egg white and top with salt or other toppings.

4. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until browned. Cool slightly on a rack. Serve warm. Best if eaten the same day.

A farmer purchased an old, run-down, abandoned farm with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields were grown over with weeds, the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences were broken down. During his first day of work, the town preacher stops by to bless the man’s work, saying, “May you and God work together to make this the farm of your dreams!” A few months later, the preacher stops by again to call on the farmer. Lo and behold, it’s a completely different place. The farm house is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there is plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows.

“Amazing!” the preacher says. “Look what God and you have accomplished together!” “Yes, reverend,” says the farmer, “but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!”

STRANGE BUT TRUE ~ By Lucie Winborne

* Queen Elizabeth II is the only person in all of Britain allowed to legally drive without a license.

* Charles Darwin once conducted a study to discover whether more people with brown hair existed because they were more dependable and likely to settle down and get married. The results were inconclusive.

* In Australia, Speedos are called “Budgy Smugglers.”

* In the 1940s during World War II, interest in continental knitting, or knitting with the yarn in one’s left hand, decreased because of its origins in Germany, while English knitting, or knitting with the yarn in the right hand, gained popularity.

* Many of us will not be surprised to learn that approximately five months of a person’s life is spent waiting in a car at red lights.

* Looking to retire at age 65? You might want to reconsider, as scientists have noted that employees should keep working until they turn 80, but the good news is that for optimal productivity, they should also only work 25 hours a week.

* The Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan denounced the Beatles as atheistic, and Klan members picketed the band’s concerts during their 1966 U.S. tour.

* 7UP was originally called “Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda” and, until 1948, contained the mood-stabilizing drug lithium citrate. One theory claims its abbreviated moniker originated from its seven ingredients -- sugar, carbonated water, essence of lemon and lime oils, citric acid, sodium citrate and lithium citrate, with “UP” referring to the lithium-induced mood lift.

* Speaking of product name changes, L’Oreal was founded as the French Harmless Hair Dye Company.

* A 1991 study revealed that female politicians who employed Hollywood makeup artists were 30% more likely to win their elections.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply

Brian Zinchuk: Plowing into a snow drift and Elon Musk’s take on full self-driving

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

In the midst of the worst blizzard we’ve had in a few years in Estevan, my daughter got a call. Her friend’s dad was stuck, in town, less than a mile from our place. Could we help?

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.

of there quick, lest someone pile into us from behind. We all took to shovelling.

plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.

Absolutely. I told both kids to pile into the F-150 to come along. They were going to learn how to tow someone out. As Spencer is in driver training, and Katrina’s about to go out on her own, there was no time like the present to learn some real-life skills.

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.

So we all put on our snow pants, heavy winter boots, parkas and gloves. We made sure we had the heaviest tow strap and a couple clevises, just in case. The three ball hitch was on the back, and a second was under the seat. We were ready.

“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.

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

And then we drove two blocks in nearly total whiteout conditions. The snow was already around 10 inches in depth, so far, and winds were gusting 90 kilometres per hour. The city had thankfully run graders down most of the streets, making a quick single pass so the streets could be at least partially passable (something I never saw when I lived in Saskatoon, which doesn’t believe winter exists). But between the Esso and hospital, at the very edge of town, the whiteout hit and I plowed into the snow bank left by the grader and drifting. It went right to the top of the hood of the truck – at least three feet.

This is where the kids got to learn about getting someone unstuck. Unfortunately, it was now us.

The wind was howling, and visibility was dropping to zero at times. We had to get out

Thankfully, a paramedic my wife works with pulled up with his Jeep Cherokee and offered to give us a pull, or what Quick Dick McDick refers to as a “Saskatchewan Yank.”

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.

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.

Try as he might, the Jeep, combined with my efforts in the Ford, only got us a few feet. Then a lady who I believe was named Marilyn pulled up in a red Ford F-150 and offered to give us a pull. We swapped out the Jeep, she backed up, and gave several mighty tugs. I directed Katrina, in the driver’s seat, while I stood beside the truck. After about six tries, we were freed.

“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.

As soon as we disconnected we pulled into the adjacent Esso lot, hoping to still make it to our planned rescue attempt. We just got past the pumps and got high-centred again. This time we shovelled, and shovelled some more. Then I cut open a sandbag and put sand beneath the tires. Rocking wasn’t working, until Katrina gave it her best push, and combined with the rocking, we got loose.

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.

By this time, the guy we were hoping to rescue had already been rescued, and we turned around for home, not stopping lest we get stuck again. It was definitely a learning experience for all, me included.

The same day, Elon Musk spoke to TED. In a recorded segment at the beginning of it he talked about the issues they are having developing full self-driving, as in the vehicle does all the thinking, period.

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply

Chris Anderson, the host, asked, “Five years ago, the last time you came to TED, I asked you about full self driving and you said, ‘Yep, this very year I’m confident that we will have a car going from LA to New York without any intervention.”

Musk replied, “I don’t want to blow your mind, but I’m not always right.”

Anderson pressed, “Why has full self driving in particular been so hard to predict?”

Musk said, “I mean, the thing that really got me, and I think it’s gonna get a lot of other people, is that there are just so many false dawns with self driving, where you think you think you’ve got the problem, have a handle on the problem, and then, nope. Turns out, you just hit a ceiling. Because what happens, if you were to plot the progress, The progress looks like a log curve. So, it’s like a series of log curves.

Describing a logarithmic curve, he continued, “It goes up sort of, you know, sort of fairly straight right, and then it starts tailing off. And you started as a kind of negotiating diminishing returns. In retrospect, they seem obvious. But in order to solve full self-driving properly, you actually just you have to solve

real world AI (artificial intelligence).”

Musk added, “Yeah, because you said, what are the road networks designed to work with, the desire to work with a biological neural net, our brains and with vision, our eyes. And so in order to make it work with computers, you basically need to solve real world AI and vision. Because we need cameras and solid neural nets in order to have to have self driving work, for a system that was designed for AIs and biological neural nets. You know, we, I guess, we put it that way. So, like quite obvious that the only way to solve for self driving is to solve real world AI and sophisticated vision.”

He later said, “These may be infamous last words, but I actually am confident we will solve it this year.”

But he demurred, saying another year could go by, with it not happening.

That got me thinking: If we mortal humans had a tough time navigating in the middle of a blizzard, how on earth will a camera-equipped Tesla, even a Cybertruck, navigate? And LIDAR doesn’t really work very well in snow, as it is literally shooting lasers like radar; lasers that will bounce off the snow.

Now, the argument could be made that neither man nor robot car/truck should have been out in that weather. And you may be correct. But right up until that point we were able to handle it, until we couldn’t. Would an AI vehicle not even try? What happens when they take away the steering wheel on these mechanical monstrosities, and a storm hits?

I’ve argued before that any camera-based self-driving is bound to get bunged up by dead bugs coating the cameras. Similarly, bad snow storms are going to negate a lot of self-driving capability. Would a self-driving Tesla be able to navigate down the one-grader-pass streets we had? Or in 10 inch snow otherwise?

The future may be coming, but it’s a long ways to go. And the richest man in the world is still having problems with it.

MOMENTS IN TIME ~ The History Channel

* On May 7, 1824, Ludwig van Beethoven’s ninth and final symphony debuts at Vienna’s Theater am Karntnertor. Having lost his hearing years earlier, the celebrated composer nonetheless appeared to conduct the first performance of his Ninth Symphony, while the real conductor stood in the wings. Beethoven was several bars off the actual music by the time the piece concluded.

* On May 5, 1904, Cy Young pitches the first perfect game in modern Major League Baseball history as the Boston Americans defeat the Philadelphia Athletics, 3-0. Young’s perfect game was part of his then-record 45-inning scoreless streak.

* On May 4, 1916, Germany responds to a demand by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson by agreeing to limit its submarine warfare. However, on Feb. 1, 1917, Germany announced the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare, and the United States formally entered World War I.

* On May 8, 1933, the first police radio system, connecting headquarters to patrol cars and patrol cars to one another, is installed in Eastchester Township, New York. The system consisted of one transmitter of 20 watts for the headquarters and two transmitters of 4.5 volts each for the two patrol cars.

* On May 3, 1952, a ski-modified U.S. Air Force C-47 becomes the first aircraft to land on the North Pole. Aboard the flight was Dr. Albert P. Crary, an American scientist who in 1961 traveled to the South Pole by motorized vehicle, becoming the first person in history to have stood on both poles.

* On May 2, 1972, Steven Spielberg begins filming “Jaws.” The production, which used three mechanical sharks, enthralled audiences and grossed $458 million in its theatrical release.

* On May 6, 1991, 51-year-old race car driver Harry Gant betters his own record as the oldest man ever to win a NASCAR event in the Winston 500 in Talladega, Alabama.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

* A good non-slip bathmat is essential in the tub to prevent accidents. Grab an extra one to drape over the edge of the tub for help when entering and exiting.

* “To remove residue left over from price tags, use hairspray. Remove as much paper as possible, and then give it a good squirt. Use a plastic scraper to lightly scrape off the adhesive.”

* “Guacamole is a precious commodity at my house, but sometimes I want a snack, not a whole bowl. I have struggled with how to save the leftovers, because once it browns, it’s done. I learned a new trick, though. Simply put the leftovers in the smallest container possible and tamp down to press out all the air. Then carefully add a thin layer of water. Seal and refrigerate for up to three days. When you’re ready to dip, pour off the water and stir!”

* “I have an old cedar chest from my grandmother that had lost its smell. My husband removed all the contents and sanded it with superfine grit sandpaper. It smells wonderful now.”

* Got bread ends? Store in a bag in the freezer until you need breadcrumbs for a recipe. Pulse frozen chunks in a chopper or blender for instantly useable crumbs.
