Q:I saw that Betty Gilpin has a new show. Whatever happened to the one on Netflix where she played a wrestler? Did it get canceled? — H.E.
A:“GLOW,” starring Alison Brie and Betty Gilpin as two friends who become professional women wrestlers in order to pay the bills, was one of those shows canceled too soon. It lasted for three seasons on Netflix and was renewed for a fourth, which was ultimately canceled before filming, reportedly due to COVID restrictions.
The premise is based on the syndicated show “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,” aka “GLOW,” which aired on cable TV in the 1980s. It was a combination of athletic wrestling and over-the-top comedic characters. Netflix’s “GLOW” received high praise from critics and the professional wrestling community.
Gilpin’s newest project is headlining her own series — “Mrs. Davis,” on the Peacock streaming app. It’s a sci-fi drama with an unusual plot about a nun who takes on a powerful form of artificial intelligence, in what Peacock is billing as “an exploration of faith versus technology.” The series’ first four episodes became available on April 20, followed by new episodes every Thursday.

thinking of “Angie,” which ran for two seasons on ABC from 1979 to 1980. It was produced by Garry Marshall (“Happy Days”) and starred Donna Pescow and Robert Hays as a coffee shop waitress and pediatrician who fall in love. Future “Everybody Loves Raymond” star Doris Roberts played Angie’s mother.
Before getting her own show, Pescow was best known for playing Annette in “Saturday Night Fever” and later for her daytime soap roles on “All My Children” and “General Hospital.” Her most recent credit is an episode of Hulu’s “Welcome to Chippendales.”
Actor Robert Hays is now 75 years old
and has had a long career in Hollywood. His first movie role was the hilarious classic “Airplane!” in 1980, but prior to that, he guest-starred on multiple primetime shows before landing “Angie.” His last role in a major production was playing Capt. Bob Wilson in the TV movie “Sharknado 2: The Second One,” in 2014.

Q:Is Trisha Yearwood going to record a new album anytime soon? I love her cooking show, but miss her as a singer. — W.W.
A:Country singer Trisha Yearwood’s last studio album was “Every Girl” in 2019. It included collaborations with her husband — singer Garth Brooks — and Kelly Clarkson. Yearwood decided to pursue her other passion, cooking, a decade ago with her own series,“Trisha’s Southern Kitchen,” on the Food Network, which won a Daytime Emmy Award a year later.
Yearwood’s next solo project remains up in the air, but she will be one of the featured singers on her husband’s upcoming album “Duets” later this year.

10 new wells in Saskatchewan for February. BlincSoftware
BlincSoftware put together this graphic from data provided by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources. Much more detailed information can be found at BlincSoftware’s Canadian Petroleum Registry.
Six of these wells, including the No. 1 well, were drilled on the western side of the province. The fact that significant numbers of the top producers were on both the eastern and western sides of the province perhaps is a testament of the diversity of Saskatchewan’s oil resource base,
Rife Resources Ltd.’s 101/07-22-047-25-W3 16-15-047-25-W3 well came in tops at 41.61 cubic metres of oil per day, or 261.7 barrels per day. That well was two miles east of Lashburn along Highway 16, and three miles south of the highway.
The next four wells are all on the eastern side of the province, with one each for Whitecap Resources, Crescent Point Energy Corp., Triland Energy Inc. and Saturn Oil and Gas.
The No. 2 well, Whitecap’s 103/109-10-006-07-W2 01-15-006-07-W2 is located two miles east of Benson.
Crescent Point’s No. 3 well, 101/01-15-002-13-W2 01-27-002-13-W2, is right along Highway 18, just south of Bromhead.
Triland Energy’s 101/06-22-007-01-W2 03-27-007-01-W2 is two miles southeast of Manor.
And the No. 5 well, Saturn’s 101/11-21-006-05-W2 09-20-006-05-W2 is three miles north of the Browning townsite.
The remaining wells are all on the western side of the province, with Strathcona Resources Ltd. having two, Teine Energy Ltd. with two, and one more for Whitecap.

Save Money and Stay Healthy: The Secret to Buying Organic Produce on a Budget
As grocery prices continue to rise, you might be wondering how to prioritize your grocery budget when it comes to buying organic produce. The most helpful tool for making informed choices is the Environmental Working Group’s annual Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists.
The Dirty Dozen is a list of the top 12 fruits and vegetables that are most likely to contain high levels of pesticide residue. This year’s list includes strawberries, spinach, kale, nectarines, apples, grapes, peaches, cherries, pears, tomatoes, celery and potatoes.
year. They use data from the United States Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration to determine which fruits and vegetables are most and least likely to contain pesticide residue.
So, why should you pay attention to these lists? Mainly because buying organic produce is almost always more expensive than buying conventionally grown produce. By using the Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 lists, you can prioritize which produce items you should try to buy organic and which ones you can save money on by buying conventionally grown.

Here’s a fast, frugal and healthy recipe, featuring two Clean 15 ingredients: frozen peas and onion. GREEN PEA SOUP
Yield: 4 servings
Total Time: 35 minutes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup sweet onion, chopped
3 cups vegetable stock
4 cups frozen peas
To serve: sour cream or Greek yogurt and green onion
In a large saucepan, heat the oil, then add the onion and cook on low heat for 5 minutes until softened but not browned. Add the stock, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the peas, bring it back to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the peas are cooked. Puree the soup in batches in a blender or blend with an immersion blender.

The Clean 15, on the other hand, is a list of the 15 fruits and vegetables that are least likely to contain pesticide residue. This year’s list includes avocados, sweet corn, pineapple, onions, papaya, frozen sweet peas, eggplant, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kiwi, cauliflower, mushrooms, honeydew melon and cantaloupe.
It’s important to emphasize, just because a fruit or vegetable is on the Dirty Dozen list doesn’t mean that it’s unsafe to eat. It simply means that it may contain higher levels of pesticides than other items on the list.
The Environmental Working Group is a widely respected nonprofit organization that puts out these lists each
For example, strawberries are at the top of this year’s Dirty Dozen list. If you eat lots of strawberries, it might be worth spending a little extra money to buy organic strawberries to avoid consuming potentially harmful levels of pesticide residue. Meanwhile, avocados are at the top of the Clean 15 list. If you eat a lot of avocados, you can save money by buying conventionally grown avocados without worrying too much about pesticide residue.
Of course, it’s important to note that even conventionally grown produce is generally considered safe to eat. Additionally, you can further reduce
To sum up, it’s important to prioritize your grocery budget when it comes to buying organic produce. Don’t let your budget discourage you from eating fruits and vegetables. Eating conventionally grown produce is still much better for your health than not eating any produce at all. ***
A teacher injured his back and had to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body.
It fit under his shirt and was not noticeable at all. On the first day of the term, still with the cast under his shirt, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in school.
Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, he opened the window as wide as possible and then busied himself with desk work. The classroom became a bit unruly and he admonished them. This happened several times.
When he could do work at his desk, the strong breeze from the window made his tie flap annoyingly. He kept rearranging and rearranging the tie as the class raised it’s level of unruliness.
Finally, becoming disgusted with the wayward tie, he stood up and took a big stapler off his desk and stapled the tie to his chest in several places.
Discipline was not a problem from that day forth.

A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet.
“My dog is cross eyed. Is there anything you can do for him?”
“Well,” says the vet, “let’s have a look at him” So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth.
Finally, he says “I’m going to have to put him down.”
“What? Because he’s cross-eyed?”
“No, because he’s really heavy”
Things to Ponder
• Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.
• The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
• Live each day as if it were your last because tomorrow may never come.
• The only difference between try and triumph is a little umph.
• Never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.
• It’s not about how hard you hit, It’s how hard you get hit and keep moving forward.
Brains
• Maybe if we start telling people the brain is an app they will start using it.
• The human brain starts working the moment you are born and never stops until you stand up to speak in public.
• It’s ok to follow your heart but take your brain with you.
• My brain is giving me the silent treatment today.
• I miss my pre- internet brain.
• I used to have functioning brain cells, but I traded them in for children.
• Keep rolling your eyes, maybe you’ll find a brain back there.
• Sometimes I look at people and start singing “If I only had a brain”

There’s the sad story of the poor guy who was in a terrible motorcycle accident. When he came out from under the anesthetic, the doctor was leaning over him anxiously. “Son,” he said, “I’ve got some good news and some bad news.
“The bad news is that you were in a very serious accident, and I’m afraid we had to amputate both your feet just above the ankle.” “Wow,” gasped the patient.
“What’s the good news?” “The fellow in the next bed over will give you a good price for your boots.”
Dear spring, you are late once again. Yet you claim that you’ve been here, since when? Twenty one days? That can’t be: It’s still cold out, you see. And some sun would be nice, now and then.
I wonder just what is the reason Why spring’s such an ornery season. First it’s cold, then it’s hot, Then it’s icy, then not — Makes me ask whether spring is just teasin’.
Where do they get the seeds to plant seedless watermelons?
