Kindersley RCMP was happy to once again partner with the Kindersley Co-op for ‘Cram the Cruiser’ on Wednesday, December 7th at the Kindersley Co-op. It was a chance to come out to meet your local RCMP officers and help make someone’s Christmas a little brighter with a donation of food for the Food Bank.

* On Dec. 23, 1672, Italian astronomer, mathematician and engineer Giovanni Domenico Cassini discovered Rhea (originally christened Sidera Lodoicea), the second-largest of Saturn’s 62 moons. In 2010, a spacecraft named for Cassini would detect a thin oxygen atmosphere around it -- the first such known outside planet Earth. * On Dec. 24, 1945, a fire destroyed the home of George and Jennie Sodder and their nine children in Fayetteville, West Virginia. While their parents and four other siblings escaped, no sign of the remaining five children has ever been found, despite decades-long publicity and numerous investigations by both law enforcement and amateur sleuths. * On Dec. 22, 1956, a baby western gorilla named Colo debuted on the world stage at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Ohio, where she would spend her entire life, be-

coming the first-ever gorilla born in captivity. Upon her death in 2017, she was also the oldest known gorilla in the world. * On Dec. 20, 1957, Elvis Presley received his Army draft notice while spending the holiday season at his newly purchased mansion, Graceland. Distraught fans sent thousands of letters to the Army asking for him to be spared, but Elvis himself had no hesitation about entering, though he did receive a deferment that allowed him to finish work on the movie “King Creole.” * On Dec. 21, 2006, rebel monks at the centuries-old Esphigmenou Monastery in Thessaloniki, Greece, took up crowbars and fire extinguishers to repel church-appointed monks with sledgehammers attempting to break in. The rebels vehemently opposed efforts by the Orthodox church to improve relations with the Vatican.

Q:

I recently watched a Christmas movie with “Frasier” star Kelsey Grammer. Was that his real-life daughter who played his daughter in the movie? They have the same last name. Is her mother Camille from “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”? — G.Y. Yes, father-daughter combo Kelsey and Spencer Grammer recently starred in the Lifetime holiday film “The 12 Days of Christmas Eve.” Kelsey plays a wealthy CEO with a knack for business, but has zero personal skills, resulting in a poor relationship with his offspring. After his character gets into a frightening car accident, none other than Santa Claus gives him 12 chances to mend his ways.

As for Spencer Grammer, her first acting role was an appearance on an episode of “Cheers” back in 1992. Spencer’s also known for playing Dr. Lucy Montgomery on the daytime soap “As the World Turns” for three years, and she went on to star in the ABC Family series about sorority life, “Greek.” Her longest-running role, for about 10 years, has been in the form of voiceover work as Summer on the animated series “Rick & Morty.”

As for Spencer’s mother, her name is Doreen Alderman. Camille Grammer, formerly of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fame, was his second wife. They were married for 14 years and had two children before splitting after the first season of the reality show.

For the past decade, Kelsey has been married to Kayte Grammer, who is from England. They met while she was working as a flight attendant during one of his business travels. *** Who are the Antonellis, the couple who own a cheese shop in the credit card commercials?

Where is their store located? — D.N. They’re spouses John and Kendall Antonelli, owners of Antonelli’s Cheese Shops in Austin, Texas (www.AntonellisCheese.com). According to “Insider,” their store hosts hundreds of classes and events every year and also sells their products wholesale to over 150 restaurants.

John is a former CPA, who had an epiphany on their honeymoon that he wanted to do “something with cheese.” Kendall worked for a nonprofit and eventually joined John in launching their business.

They both do public speaking engagements as well. *** Is the actress playing Holly on “General Hospital” the same one who played the role years ago?

— Y.H. Yes, that’s Emma Samms back as Holly Sutton, the same role she originated in the early 1980s. She last appeared on the soap in 2015 to help usher out the character of Luke when Anthony Geary retired. Samms came back to L.A. in September for a monthlong shoot alongside another iconic character, Robert Scorpio, played by Tristan Rogers. Samms warned producers that she was suffering from extreme fatigue and shortness of breath due to lingering effects from COVID. She told “People” magazine she feels really lucky that her bosses were so willing to accommodate her restricted work schedule.

ciated oil production. And that’s where expanding these incentives will make all the difference.

That’s important, because most of the exploration to date is now focused on the Duperow formation, which is known as the Leduc formation in Alberta. There’s not much in the way of oil production from the Duperow in Saskatchewan, so wells targeting the Duperow are likely going to be lithium-bearing brine-only.

Mauer said, “They were set up for oil and gas and I think helium was in there. So lithium was only eligible if it was associated with one of those projects. And now lithium projects, assuming they get approved, will be eligible for the incentive as well.”

Prairie Lithium drilled its first targeted lithium well into the Duperow near Torquay in late September, 2021. It has recently acquired several oil wells in the area that had been slated for abandonment. Their intention is to deepen those wells into the Duperow for further testing.

“We’re not going to put the project on hold, but we’re definitely going to put the application in as soon as we can,” Maurer said.

Living Skies Lithium Trent Jordens, president and CEO of Weyburn-based Living Skies Lithium said on Nov. 8, “I think it’s part of the equation of attracting bigger players and bringing attention to this.

He noted it’s a local thing, versus federal incentives.

“For us, I think we just need to know that we’ve got something coming down the pipe that is going to bring an attractive investment opportunity, with a good return and the government’s behind us.

“People need to know, especially our investors, even within the province and outside the province, that the province is in line with this; that we have some answers on royalties regulations. So it’s a start, but we really got to narrow the focus and get rid of the unknowns. And this definitely helps.”

Prairie Lithium Zach Mauer, president and CEO of Prairie Lithium, told Pipeline Online on Nov. 7 that his company had already successfully used the SPII program.

“We actually used the SPII program in 2020. We used it on our field demonstration units that we did with Grounded Lithium Whitecap back in 2020, for that project we did out near Grounded Lithium drilled its first targeted well near Kindersley,” he said.

And I believe all members in this House are proud of the innovation that takes place right here at home.

“This is re-energizing, re-incentivizing, and re-economizing, in many cases, assets that are pre-existing here in Saskatchewan, complementing existing expertise in the field, in research, amongst operators, SRC (Saskatchewan Research Council), and the subsurface lab here in Saskatchewan.

“You know, we truly need an all-of-the-above approach when it comes to innovation and our economy here in Saskatchewan. And as this industry and natural complements to it, like the one announced by the minister today, continue to roll out, we will certainly be paying attention to the uptake, and consulting with the sector, with industry, with rights holders, researchers, and investors.”

development of Saskatchewan’s technology sector. This includes continuing to develop our lithium sector and lithium extraction technology.

“Lithium is already at high demand around the world and, as society progresses, the demand for lithium is projected to increase significantly. With the importance of battery technology in the world today, we feel it’s crucial that we continue exploring our lithium potential here at home. This is also something we should be very proud of, and with the addition of this critical mineral to our existing incentive programs, it will strengthen our investment attractiveness for other companies across the world. This will also expand and establish diversity in our mining sectors and will help to continue Saskatchewan’s position as one of the best mining jurisdictions on the planet.”
