• Luseland & District Museum invites everyone to bake a Ration Cake at 2:00 PM. As our Museum Theme for 2025 is 80 years since VE Day, we will be doing some baking like they did in the 1940s when rationing was a part of daily living.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A heads-up to all free-spirited Ewes and Rams: Be wary of a deal that could result in compromising your independence. Check every detail before making a commitment.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A slight setback in plans is nothing to worry about. Use this delay to deal with a number of matters you might have ignored for too long. Expect news from someone in your past.

~ Sure, the Indianapolis 500 is loud and dangerous, but after 100-plus years of racing, you might not be faulted for stifling a big yawn before the cars cross the finish line. But fear not! On May 23, six Wienermobiles will compete in the first-ever Wienie 500, KTLA-TV reported. Each Wienermobile will represent a regional hot dog, to wit: The Chi Dog (Midwest), the New York Dog (East Coast), the Slaw Dog (Southeast), the Sonoran Dog (Southwest), the Chili Dog (South) and the Seattle Dog (Northwest). A finish-line celebration in the “Wiener’s Circle” will include a condiment spray for the champion. If you miss the Wiener 500, tune in during the Indy 500 pre-race show on May 25 for highlights.
~ As of May 18, Landerneau, France, holds the distinction of being home to the largest gathering of people dressed as Smurfs, United Press International reported. Perhaps because of excitement about an upcoming Smurfs movie, the town gathered 3,076 costumed people together, breaking a record set in Germany in 2019. “Schtroumpfs,” as they are known in France, were created by Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford.
~ On May 15, swimmer and environmental advocate Lewis Pugh set out on a special mission: To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the movie “Jaws,” Pugh is hoping to urge people not to view sharks as monsters but as part of a healthy ocean ecosystem. The Martha’s Vineyard Times reported that Pugh is planning to swim all the way around the island,
where “Jaws” was filmed -- about 60 miles -- in 11 or 12 days. “I’m frightened of sharks,” Pugh said, “but I’m more terrified of a world without them. We need a new narrative about these magnificent animals.”
~ Olivia Jaquith co-anchors the WRGB-TV morning news in Albany, New York, with Julia Dunn, United Press International reported. On May 21, the pair shared some truly breaking news: At 4:15 a.m., Jaquith’s water had broken, but she went to work, and the show went on with her in the anchor seat. Jaquith, who was two days past her due date, said it was “early labor” and her contractions were far apart, but she headed to the hospital after the broadcast.
~ In 1946, Harvard Law School spent a whopping $27.50 on what it thought was a copy of the Magna Carta, Sky News reported on May 15. It was dated as being made in 1327 under King Edward III. Fast-forward to 2023, when professor of medieval history David Carpenter saw the document on Harvard’s website and realized it might be an original. Further examinations revealed that the Harvard version was indeed an original, dating from 1300 and issued by King Edward I. As such, it’s worth millions of dollars -- but Harvard isn’t selling. The Magna Carta was established in 1215; there are four of that original issue and seven of the 1300 version, including Harvard’s. Carpenter, of King’s College London, said he was astonished “that Harvard had been sitting on it for all these years without realizing what it was.”
REGINA – For the second straight year, the number of inactive oil wells in Saskatchewan has been reduced through the Inactive Liability Reduction Program (ILRP), which is administered by the Ministry of Energy and Resources. As of January 2025, there were 1,083 fewer inactive wells compared to when the ILRP was first launched in 2023, the ministry said in a May 29 press release.
“In addition to responsibly developing Saskatchewan’s natural resources, our ministry is the provincial oil and gas regulator, a role we take extremely seriously,” Energy and Resources Minister Colleen Young said. “The ILRP shows how we regulate the sector in a way that shields taxpayers from liability risks, protects the environment and facilitates growth. We are fortunate to have reliable oil producers in our province who ensure they are investing in responsible and sustainable resource development.”
The ILRP sets spending targets for oil producers to manage and decommission inactive facilities in a timely and responsible manner. In 2024, oil producers spent more than $228 million on these costs, nearly doubling the ministry target of $116 million.
“Saskatchewan’s oil and natural gas producers continuously strive to lower the environmental footprint of their op-
Proof and other parts
erations and the ILRP enables industry to manage facilities through the final stage of the project lifecycle,” Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers President and CEO Lisa Baiton said. “Reducing the number of inactive wells and facilities in the province is an incredibly important responsibility for oil and gas producers, and their commitment to the program was demonstrated by the industry nearly doubling the ministry’s funding target. The success of the ILRP in its first two years is an example of how the best solutions come when industry and government work together.”
The Ministry of Energy and Resources has a successful track record of developing and administering several different clean-up programs for the oil and gas sector. Since 2010, the Saskatchewan oil and gas orphan fund secures contractors using industry funding to properly decommission orphaned oil facilities. Additionally, the Accelerated Site Closure Program, which closed in 2023, allocated $400 million in federal funding to properly decommission 9,823 oil wells in the province, along with thousands of other related facilities and sites.

A school teacher in Hyderabad was once asked, “Can you make a sentence without using ‘E’?”
“I doubt I can. It’s a major part of many many words. Omitting it is as hard as making muffins without flour. It’s as hard as spitting without saliva, napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, sailing to Russia without a boat, washing your hands without soap. And, anyway, what would I gain? An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It’s not worth it.” ************************************
How to find out if you’re old or not: Fall down in front of a group of people. If they laugh, you’re young.
If they panic, you’re old.
Sitting on the highway waiting to catch speeders, a state police officer saw a car puttering along at 22 MPH.
He thinks to himself, that car is just as dangerous as a speeder. So, he turns his lights on and pulls the car over.
Approaching the car, he notices there are 5 old ladies, two at the front and 3 at the back, wide eyed and looking like ghosts.

The driver obviously confused said, “Officer, I don’t understand, I wasn’t doing over the speed limit!, What seems to be the problem?”
“Ma’am,” the officer said, “you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be dangerous”.
“Slower than the speed limit? NO SIR! I was doing exactly 22 miles an hour”, the old woman said proudly.
The officer containing a chuckle explains that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned, thanking the officer for pointing out her error.
“Before I go Ma’am, I have to ask, is everyone OK? These women seem badly shaken and haven’t uttered a word all this time”
“Oh! they will be alright in a minute, Officer, we just got off Route 142.” **************************************
Three tourists climbed up the tower with London’s Big Ben and decided to throw their watches off the top, run down the stairs and try to catch them before they hit the ground.
The first tourist threw his watch but heard it crash before the had taken three steps. The second threw his watch and made only two steps before hearing his watch shatter.
The third tourist threw his watch off the tower, went down the stairs, bought a snack at a shop up the street and walked slowly back to Big Ben in time to catch the watch.
“How did you do that?” asked one of his friends.
“My watch is 30 minutes slow.” **************************************
Noted archeologist Fred Flintstein made an amazing discovery today in Sweden. He found remains of some primitive musical instrument and a small deposit of fossilized excrement. when asked about what they signified, Fred Flintstein replied: “A dab o’ ABBA doo.”
• On June 16, 1858, newly nominated senatorial candidate Abraham Lincoln told more than 1,000 delegates at the Illinois Republican Convention in Springfield that the nation was facing a crisis that could destroy the Union, paraphrasing a New Testament passage when he warned that “a house divided against itself cannot stand.”
• On June 17, 1976, the National Basketball Association announced a merger with its rival, the American Basketball Association, and took on the ABA’s four most successful franchises: the Denver Nuggets, the Indiana Pacers, the New York (later Brooklyn) Nets and the San Antonio Spurs.
• On June 18, 1178, five badly frightened monks in Canterbury, England, witnessed an explosion on the moon’s surface after the sun had set. As their abbey’s chronicler described it, “A flaming torch sprang up, spewing out ... fire, hot coals and sparks.” The moon, he marveled, “throbbed like a wounded snake.”
• On June 19, 2014, two weeks after he abdicated the Spanish throne amidst low approval ratings, King Juan Carlos I removed his red sash, symbolic of his status as the leader of the Spanish military, and draped it around the waist of his son, 46-yearold Crown Prince Felipe, completing his official transfer of power.
• On June 20, 1981, four Dutch studio musicians recording under the name Stars on 45, who sounded uncannily like the Beatles, made it to the top of the U.S. pop charts with their single titled “Medley: Intro Venus/Sugar Sugar/No Reply/I’ll Be Back/Drive My Car/Do You Want To Know A Secret/We Can Work It Out/I Should Have Known Better/Nowhere Man/You’re Going To Lose That Girl/ Stars On 45.”
• On June 21, 1913, aviatrix Georgia “Tiny” Broadwick, who stood just four feet, eight inches tall and weighed 80 pounds, became the first woman to parachute from a plane. On the way up, she was suspended from a trap seat outside the cockpit, with her parachute on a shelf above her.
• On June 22, 1953, a Brooklyn newsboy received an unusual nickel in payment. Upon dropping it on the ground he discovered it was hollow and contained a tiny photo of coded numbers. His discovery led the FBI to a Soviet spy named Rudolf Abel.
“Sinners” (R) — This supernatural horror flick from director Ryan Coogler (“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”) has become one of the biggest film releases of the year, hopefully making it one to watch during next year’s award season. Taking place in 1932 Mississippi, the film follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack Moore, as well as their cousin Sammie, as they start up a local juke joint for the Black community in their town. Despite a pastor’s warnings that the blues can summon supernatural spirits, Sammie and other local musicians perform blues songs during the juke joint’s opening night. Little do they know that their entrancing tunes beckon a vampire clan closer and closer, and a massacre is sure to follow. Michael B. Jordan stuns in the dual role of Smoke and Stack, and Ludwig Goransson’s soundtrack is the perfect finishing garnish to this incredible film. Available to rent on June 3. (Amazon Prime Video)
“Straw” (R) — Tyler Perry’s films are often centered around telling underrepresented Black stories that often evoke intense emotions in their characters and their audience. His latest release, which is available to stream on June 6, puts this same formula to work with Taraji P. Henson being a force to reckon with in the lead role. She portrays single mother Janiyah, who is at her wit’s end after
a series of events cause her to lose out on money for her daughter’s medical bills. With nowhere left to turn, Janiyah heads to the bank, preparing to commit a robbery. Once she’s there and in the thick of the action, cooler heads like bank manager Nicole (Sherri Shepherd) and Detective Kay Raymond (Teyana Taylor) attempt to talk Janiyah out of making a terrible mistake. (Netflix)
“Stick” (TV-MA) — Owen Wilson takes on his first leading role since the trainwreck that was “Haunted Mansion” (2023), and this time, it seems like this role is a bit more his speed. Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, a “long washed up” professional golfer who lacks a purpose after both his golfing career and marriage went south. While teaching golf basics to the elderly, Pryce encounters a teen boy named Santi (Peter Dager), whose golf swing shows serious potential. So, Pryce decides to take Santi under his wing and sign him up for an amateur championship tournament to see if Santi can win it all! The first three episodes premiere June 4, with subsequent episodes releasing every Wednesday. (Apple TV+)
Q:Has Hugh Jackman officially divorced his wife yet? Is he still dating Sutton Foster? — K.D.
A:Despite separating two years ago, actor Hugh Jackman (“Deadpool & Wolverine”) and his wife of almost 30 years, Deborra-Lee Furness, only recently took the next step toward divorce, with Furness finally filing to end the marriage. Jackman has been quietly dating actress Sutton Foster (“Younger”), but it’s not known for how long. The two starred in the revival of “Music Man” on Broadway in 2022. Depending on which gossip column you read, the consensus seems to be that Jackman and Foster are living together in the penthouse that was once home to Furness. ***
Q:I’ve never seen any other actor with more energy than Tom Cruise. Now that the newest “Mission: Impossible” film is out, what does he have coming up next? Would he ever do a TV series? — A.E.
A:“Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning” made an estimated $79 million at the box office during Memorial Day weekend, adding to Tom Cruise’s long list of blockbuster hits throughout his career. The 62-yearold movie star has no plans to stop anytime soon. Production on “Top Gun 3” is expected to begin in late 2025 or early 2026. In addition, he has five films in production or preproduction currently, so I have no clue how he’s going to squeeze the follow-up to 2022’s “Top Gun: Maverick” into his crazy schedule. First up is the untitled Alejandro G. Inarritu Film with Jesse Plemons (“Killers of the Flower Moon”) and John Goodman (“The Righteous Gemstones”). Then there are three films listed to be in preproduction: the World War II drama “Broadsword” with Henry Cavill (“The Witcher”); a remake of the 1977 Clint Eastwood film “The Gauntlet”; and the untitled Tom Cruise/ SpaceX project, which will be filmed on the actual International Space Station. Cruise has also recently expressed a strong desire to play Les Grossman again, the loudmouth, hairy studio exec-
utive he portrayed in the 2008 comedy film “Tropic Thunder.”
Cruise has yet to star in a series, however. He seems to be the last major Hollywood holdout who focuses exclusively on the big screen. Perhaps when he enters his seventh decade of life, he’ll slow down and compete for an Emmy Award. Perhaps the Les Grossman script could be turned into a limited Netflix series?
Q:Is it true that “Duck Dynasty” is coming back? Will it feature the same family members? — D.S.
A:It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since we saw the Robertson family of Louisiana on our TV screens. Their fans are mourning the recent loss of family patriarch Phil but will be thrilled to know that his legacy will live on in a new series on A&E this summer. The new series will center around Phil’s son Willie, wife Korie, and their children and grandchildren. Phil’s brother, Si, is also expected to appear. A&E has such confidence that the show will be a hit that it’s already ordered two seasons’ worth of episodes. “Duck Dynasty: The Revival” will premiere on Sunday, June 1, on A&E.

SOUTHWESTERN BLACK
BEAN & CORN SALAD
Yield: 4 servings
Total Time: 15 minutes
For the Dressing:
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice and zest of one lime
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon table salt
For the Salad:
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup frozen corn, thawed 1/2 cup red onion, diced 1/2 cup red pepper, diced 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
In the bottom of a salad bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients to emulsify. Add the salad ingredients, tossing to combine. This gets better as it sits, so I recommend refrigerating this at least two hours before serving.
This salad is delicious when made into hearty quesadillas. They are a great choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a delicious snack. The combination of black beans, sweet corn and melty cheese wrapped in a crispy tortilla is the perfect comfort food.
coat with cooking spray or melt a mix of 2 teaspoons each of olive oil and butter. The blend of oil and butter gives the quesadillas a rich, golden crisp that makes them extra satisfying.
Stir the shredded cheese into the black bean and corn mixture so you get that perfect gooey filling with each bite of quesadilla.
Increase the heat to medium and cook each quesadilla one at a time until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is fully melted. You want the tortillas to have that satisfying crunch, with just the right amount of crispiness.
Place one tortilla in the skillet at a time. Place 1/2 cup of the bean and cheese mixture over the tortilla and spread it evenly to the edges. Once the cheese has melted, fold this tortilla in half, making a half-moon shape, pressing down gently to help seal. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture adding butter and oil as needed.
