Technology snafus tax your patience. But before you throw your computer or other bulky hardware into the trash, take a deep breath and call someone knowledgeable for help.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Don’t be too upset if your generosity goes unappreciated. These things happen, and rather than brood over it, you should move on. Meanwhile, a new friend could open up some exciting possibilities.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A loved one helps you get through an especially difficult emotional situation. Afterward, spend the weekend immersed in the restorative powers of music and the other arts.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You are pretty much in charge of what you want to do this week. However, it might be a good idea to keep an open mind regarding suggestions from people you know you can trust.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Another chance to shine (something always dear to the Lion’s heart) might be resented by others. But you earned it, so enjoy it! The weekend brings news about a family member.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A suggestion that never took off could become viable again. Dust it off, update it if necessary, and resubmit it. In your personal life, a new relationship takes an “interesting” turn.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Confronting a new challenge to your stated position could work to
your advantage. You can settle all doubts once you’re able to present a solid defense that is backed up by equally solid facts.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You enjoy doing nice things for others, but this is a good time to do something nice for yourself as well. You might want to start by planning a super-special getaway weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some changes you feel like you need to make might be reasonable and appropriate. But others might lead to new problems. Think things through carefully before you act.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Good instincts usually keep the sure-footed Goat on the right path. What others might see as stubbornness on your part reflects your good sense of what is worth supporting.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A period of introspection could lead to some surprising conclusions and equally surprising changes involving a number of your long-held positions on several issues.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) The financially practical Pisces might want to take a sensible approach to spending as well as investing. Being prudent now pays off later. In other news, a romantic situation moves into another phase.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of curiosity keeps you continually alert for what’s new about people, places and things. You know how to stay on top of trends or even start them yourself.

Make Slow-Cooker Oatmeal for an Easy Morning Routine
It would be an apt description to call my husband a “musher” even though he has never trained, led or raced a dog team of huskies. Simply put, he likes to wake up in the morning to a hot pot of coffee and prepare a big, steaming bowl of homemade oatmeal, or what our family has called it for generations — “mush.”
He makes the “mush” by dumping a cup of steel-cut oatmeal that we buy for only 25 cents per cup in bulk at our neighborhood store into a cooking pot on the stove. He adds water, raisins, and chopped fresh fruit such as an apple or a pear, then tosses in a pinch of salt and cinnamon. It’s ready to eat in about 30 minutes, just as he opens the sports section of the morning paper.
His has been a fine and dandy routine for years until he recently started a new job as an assistant superintendent of a school that starts in the wee hours of the morning and is located on the opposite end of town from our home. The new early wake-up call prompted a happy discovery: slow-cooker oatmeal. Now he tosses the ingredients in our slow cooker the night before and sets it on low so that the healthy “mush” is hot and ready to enjoy the moment he wakes up. It’s a “musher’s” dream come true!
If your family knows and likes their oats, give this easy and super cheap ver-
sion a try. For about 4 servings, you’ll need:
— 1 cup steel-cut oats (not quick-cooking or instant oats)
— 3 cups water
— A pinch of salt
— Dried fruit to taste such as apricots, raisins and cranberries
— 1/2 cup chopped fresh fruit such as an apple or a pear
— Cinnamon to taste (optional)
Here’s the fun: Let your kids measure and pour ingredients in the slow cooker before they go to bed. Stir, cover and set cooker at low heat. In the morning, stir and serve. Vary toppings from day to day such as brown sugar, cinnamon sugar, honey, nuts or chopped banana. Add milk if you wish.
ALTERNATIVE IDEA
Try this recipe with your rice cooker if it has a porridge or cereal function that cooks oatmeal. Place ingredients in a bowl and refrigerate the night before. Pour contents into the cooker in the morning, then turn it on. It will cook on its own for about 25 minutes while the family gets dressed.
~ A couple in Thailand went to the hospital three times after the woman swallowed a fish bone while eating fish soup, Oddity Central reported on June 27. She tried various home remedies, but couldn’t dislodge it from her throat, and at the hospital, doctors couldn’t see anything on an X-ray. The wife, Sang Lan, still felt pain, but assumed the bone had moved on. When her neck became swollen, she returned to the hospital, but again X-rays were negative. At home, the woman was applying a pain relief patch to her neck when she saw a pointy object poking her skin from within. She applied pressure, and the fish bone poked through her skin. Back at the hospital, doctors removed the 2-centimeter bone; they said they had never seen anything like it before.
A Big Win
~ A 77-year-old woman in Michigan won $4 million in the state’s instant lottery recently, the Detroit Free Press reported on July 1. The woman, who is choosing to remain anonymous, said she plays the game “all the time” and was “frozen in her seat” for a while after scratching the winning ticket. Curiously (in light of her age), the winner chose to receive annual payments of about $133,000 for the next 30 years instead of taking the lump sum of about $2.7 million. She’s planning to donate some, do home repairs and share the winnings with her family.
That Rule Doesn’t Apply to Me

WEIRD NEWS
ican Airlines the $59,143 it cost to cancel a flight on June 26, 2024. Philadelphia magazine reported that on that night, Beaulieu went to great lengths to skip the security line at Philadelphia International Airport, trying to enter Terminal C through an exit line. When he was stopped, he threw a $50 bill at the security guard and asked her if that would get him in. Eventually, Beaulieu got away from her and disappeared into the terminal -- and onto his flight, which was still at the gate. When officials informed the pilot that a passenger hadn’t gone through security, they canceled the flight.
Suspended for Safety
~ At Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, riders of the newly opened Siren’s Curse roller coaster got a break in their experience when the coaster “experienced a delay,” the Akron Beacon Journal reported. The stop, on June 28, left riders suspended in midair for about 10 minutes; park spokesman Tony Clark said the “coaster’s safety system performed as designed, the ride was restarted, and guests continued their ride.”
Competent Couple
~ Jason Singer of Portland, Maine, became a “Jeopardy!” champion on July 1, ABC News reported. Four years earlier, Singer’s wife, Susan McMillan, won the title on the show. “Jeopardy!” officials say the brainiacs are believed to be the first already-married couple to both win. McMillan said she coached her husband: “I told him he really needs to be on point with the buzzer timing,” she said. “Everyone there knows pretty much all the information.”
Sask, Ontario and Alberta to Advance Pipelines, Critical Minerals and Energy Export Infrastructure
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to coordinate the safe transportation and export of Western Canadian oil, natural gas and critical minerals to refineries, seaports and storage facilities across Canada and beyond.
“We are sending a clear signal that Canada’s energy future will be built by Canadians, for Canadians,” Moe said. “This agreement commits our provinces to work together to unlock new markets, shore up our supply chains from mine to port and advocate for the federal reforms our industry needs. By advancing pipelines, rail connections and critical-mineral processing capacity, we are safeguarding thousands of jobs, strengthening our energy security and fostering sustainable growth.”
The MOU establishes a collaborative framework to explore multiple pipeline and rail corridors, and expansion of processing hubs for critical minerals. All of this will create new and critical avenues to reach domestic and international markets.
“As the world grapples with President
Trump’s unfair tariffs, it is more important than ever to build a resilient and self-reliant economy here at home,” Ford said. “This agreement sends a clear message: Ontario, Alberta and Saskatchewan are ready to get shovels in the ground and move forward on projects that will secure our long-term prosperity.”
The agreement will help strengthen interprovincial trade by linking Saskatchewan, Ontario and Alberta through shared infrastructure development and coordinated market strategies.
“We are taking action to grow our economy, build real infrastructure and get major projects moving,” Smith said. “Alberta is proud to lead the way in uniting with provinces that share a vision for responsible development, economic freedom and common sense. We are standing up for our oil and gas sector and making sure our world-class resources reach the markets that need them. Together, Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan are showing what is possible when provinces step up. This agreement is about building a stronger, more connected Canada, one project at a time.”
The Government of Saskatchewan is proud
to be a leader and advocate for free and fair trade. Last week, Saskatchewan called on all provinces and territories to join Canada’s largest barrier-free interprovincial market, the New West Partnership Trade Agreement. This economic region of over 11 million Canadians has a combined GDP exceeding $818 billion.
The province also continues to take part in the Committee on Internal Trade (CIT), which includes enhancing the Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA), reducing regulatory and administrative burdens to interprovincial trade, and facilitating labour mobility.
On July 8, CIT announced significant progress, including:
• Reducing party-specific exceptions under the CFTA by a further 30 per cent.
• Concluding negotiations of the financial services chapter.
• Advancing mutual recognition through a pilot project in the trucking sector and negotiating towards a mutual recognition agreement on the sale of goods.
• Cross-Canada commitment to a 30-day service standard for processing labour mobility applications.
• A Memorandum of Understanding on direct-to-consumer alcohol sales, co-led by Saskatchewan and Ontario, involving ten jurisdictions across Canada to support consumers being able to order their favourite Canadian wine, spirit, beer or other alcoholic beverage, directly from the producer, for personal consumption.
Saskatchewan Sees Further Progress on Oil and Gas Emissions Reduction
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from Saskatchewan’s upstream oil and gas sector saw a fifth-straight year of reductions in 2024, according to the Ministry of Energy and Resources’ Oil and Gas Emissions Management Regulations (OGEMR) Annual Report. The report’s 2024 data shows provincial emissions from venting and flaring at upstream oil facilities fell by 71 per cent compared to 2015 levels, and by 13 per cent compared to 2023 levels.
“Our made-in-Saskatchewan approach to lowering GHG emissions is working, and these numbers show it,” Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young said. “Investment and innovation in the oil and gas sector has led to the significant reduction in the emissions we have seen since OGEMR was introduced in 2019. The Ministry of Energy and Resources will continue to take a regulatory approach that facilitates growth and ensures responsible resource development.”
The OGEMR annual report found that emissions from reported venting and flaring at upstream oil facilities have been reduced by 7.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2e) since 2015. That is equivalent to taking 1.7 million passenger vehicles off the road for one year.
Tuesday:
Get help with substance abuse.
Multiple activities contributed to the 2024 reductions, but there were two primary drivers: oil companies installing combustion equipment at wells and facilities to burn off gas that would otherwise have been vented; and companies using vented gas on site as fuel for a beneficial industry-related purpose.
The OGEMR annual report monitors progress in implementing OGEMR with the intent to reduce GHG emissions from the upstream oil and gas sector by 40 to 45 per cent by 2025 compared to 2015 levels.
The 2024 OGEMR Annual Report shows Saskatchewan has surpassed the 40 to 45 per cent goal and is on track to far exceed this target in 2025. This achievement underscores the province’s regulatory leadership and industry innovation in lowering GHG emissions.

Q:
Is it true that Ozzy Osbourne is dying? Is that why he had his farewell concert recently? — C.M.
A:According to his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, her 76-year-old father is not dying. She also condemned a video circulating the internet in which it appears Ozzy is saying, “I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die.” But it’s not his voice; it’s AI.
Ozzy revealed publicly in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. While Kelly admits that his mobility is “completely different than it used to be,” Ozzy was able to perform with his band Black Sabbath in early July.
Q:I read that Tom Ellis’ new FBI show is undergoing changes and won’t be ready this fall. I hope it doesn’t get shelved for good. He’s my favorite actor since I saw him in “Lucifer.” — Y.B.
A:Don’t worry, Tom Ellis’ upcoming series has been pushed back by CBS as a mid-season replacement instead of premiering this fall, but it’s not being scrapped. The series originally titled “FBI: CIA” — now simply titled “CIA” — is set to launch as the fourth series within the “FBI” franchise. But creative differences have emerged, and original showrunner David Hudgins has been replaced by Warren Leight (of the “Law & Order” universe).
According to Matt Webb Mitovich of TVLine, other than Tom Ellis, no other casting announcements have been made, and scripts are undergoing “further polishing.” A fan asked if any cast members from the canceled “FBI” franchises could land on “CIA,” but it’s doubtful now that “FBI” has been axed out of the title.
“Watson,” a medical drama starring Morris Chestnut, has now been moved up from mid-season to the fall by CBS. It will make its sophomore season debut on Oct. 13 at 10 p.m. ET, following the season eight premiere of “FBI.”
Q:What ever happened to Mary Louise Parker? I loved her in “Weeds,” but I haven’t seen her in
anything since. — W.U.
A:Mary
Louise Parker’s career was at its peak in the early 2000s, but it’s far from over. Now aged 60 and looking fabulous, she’s still building a long resume with one acting role after another, but no project was as impactful as Showtime’s “Weeds,” where she earned three Emmy nominations. You can currently see her in the limited series “The Institute” on MGM+, which is based on a novel by Stephen King. Over the years, she’s had recurring roles on shows like “The Blacklist,” “Billions” and “Elsbeth.”
Next up, she’ll be starring in “The Auction” with Audra McDonald (“The Gilded Age”) as well as her ex Billy Crudup (“The Morning Show”). Their relationship was all over the tabloids when they split late during her pregnancy when he fell for actress Clare Danes, but they are now amicable.
She’ll also star in the upcoming political satire “Kissinger Takes Paris,” opposite Tim Roth (“The Hateful Eight”), in addition to the film adaptation of Justine Bateman’s book “Face” with Carrie-Ann Moss (“The Matrix Resurrections”) about society’s reaction to women who age naturally.

Q:Ihave acquired from my aunt a box with items and fabrics she bought while stationed in occupied Japan. I would like to know where to take these items to determine if any are of value. Can you tell me who I should contact?
A:Formal appraisals are expensive, so you usually don’t need one unless it is for legal purposes, like taxes or insurance, or if you are already certain you have something valuable like pieces made from precious metals. However, some auction houses hold free appraisal events as a form of promotion. There are less formal, less expensive ways to find out whether your items have value. You can visit antique shops in your area to talk to dealers and look at selling prices. Collectors’ clubs can help find values. Look for collectors who specialize in Occupied Japan. Check price guides, you may be able to find subject-specific price guides online or
at your library. You can look up prices for items like yours online. Try searching auction results or looking up sold listings on eBay. Be sure you are looking at sold prices; asking prices are not always accurate.

The day finally arrived: Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by Saint Peter himself. The gates are closed, however, and Forest approaches the gatekeeper.
Saint Peter says, “Well, Forrest, it’s certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we’ve been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The tests are fairly short, but you need to pass before you can get into Heaven.”
Forrest responds, “It shore is good to be here Saint Peter. I was looking forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exams. Shore hope the test ain’t too hard; life was a big enough test as it was.”
Saint Peter goes on, “Yes, I know Forrest. But, the test I have for you is only three questions. Here is the first: What days of the week begin with the letter ‘T’? Second, how many seconds are there in a year? Third, what is God’s first name?”
Forrest goes away to think the questions over. He returns the next day and goes up to Saint Peter to try to answer the exam questions.
Saint Peter waves him up and asks, “Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.”
Forrest says, “Well, the first one, -how many days of the week begin with the letter ‘T’?” “Shucks, that one’s easy; that’d be Today and Tomorrow!”
The saint’s eyes open wide and he exclaims, “Forrest! That’s not what I was thinking, but ... you do have a point though, and I guess I didn’t specify, so I give you credit for that answer.”
“How about the next one” says Saint Peter, “how many seconds in a year?”
“Now that one’s harder,” says Forrest. “But, I thunk and thunk about that, and I guess the only answer can be twelve.”
Astounded, Saint Peter says, “Twelve! Twelve! Forrest, how in Heaven’s name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”
Forrest says, “Shucks, there gotta be twelve: January second, February second, March second....”
“Hold it,” interrupts Saint Peter. “I see where you’re going with it.”
“And I guess I see your point, though that wasn’t quite what I had in mind.
I’ll give you credit for that one too.”
“Let’s go on with the next and final question,” says Saint Peter, “Can you tell me God’s first name?”
Forrest says, “Well shore, I know God’s first name. Everybody probably knows it’s Howard.”
“Howard?” asks Saint Peter. “What makes you think it’s ‘Howard’?”
Forrest answers, “It’s in the prayer.”
“The prayer?” asks Saint Peter, “Which prayer?”
“The Lord’s Prayer,” responds Forrest: “Our Father, Who art in Heaven, Howard be thy name...”

In light of the rising frequency of human/ grizzly bear conflicts, the Alberta Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert for bears while in the field.
“We advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren’t expecting them. We also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear poop. Black bear poop is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear poop has little bells in it and smells like pepper.”
