ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty continues to impress everyone who needs reassurance about a project. But be careful you don’t lose patience with those who are still not ready to act.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Pushing others too hard to do things your way could cause resentment and raise more doubts. Instead, take more time to explain why your methods will work.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Be more considerate of those close to you before making a decision that could have a serious effect on their lives. Explain your intentions and ask for their advice.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You might have to defend a workplace decision you plan to make. Colleagues might back you up on this, but it’s the facts that will ultimately win the day for you. Good luck!
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big Cat’s co-workers might not be doing enough to help get that project finished. Your roars might stir things up, but gentle purrr-suasion will prove to be more effective.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone you care for needs help with a problem. Give it lovingly and without judging the situation. Whatever you feel you should know will be revealed later.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) While you’re to be admired for how you handled recent workplace problems, be careful not to react the same way to a new situation until all the facts are in.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Rely on your keen instincts, as well as the facts at hand, when dealing with a troubling situation. Be patient. Take things one step at a time as you work through it.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your curiosity leads you to ask questions. However, the answers might not be what you hoped to hear. Don’t reject them without checking them out.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be careful not to tackle a problem without sufficient facts. Even sure-footed Goats need to know where they’ll land before leaping off a mountain path.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Appearances can be deceiving. You need to do more investigating before investing your time, let alone your money, in something that might have some hidden flaws.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your recent stand on an issue could make you the focus of more attention than you would like. But you’ll regain your privacy, as well as more time with loved ones, by week’s end.

Who is the actress playing Princess Diana in the current season of “The Crown”? I know she’s different than the actor who played her the last two seasons. Both have done a fantastic job. — L.L.
A:Elizabeth Debicki, who is Australian, began playing Princess Diana in season five of the Netflix series “The Crown,” opposite Dominic West as Prince Charles. Debicki is a statuesque 6 feet, 3 inches tall, and with her big blue eyes, she physically inhabits the tragic character of the Princess of Wales.
Debicki’s first big role was a supporting one in Baz Lurhmann’s “The Great Gatsby,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio. In 2016, she starred alongside Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie in the British miniseries “The Night Manager,” and before landing “The Crown,” she starred in acclaimed director Christopher Nolan’s twisty thriller “Tenet.”
Emma Corrin, who is British and whose pronouns are they/them, portrayed Diana in season four of “The Crown” and was nominated for an Emmy. They’re only 26, but their career has taken off quickly. Corrin played Esme in the first season of the HBO Max series “Pennyworth,” which is the origin story of Batman’s butler, and they can also be seen in “My Policeman,” a recent film starring Harry Styles. ***
Q:Is the new movie directed by Steven Spielberg about his own life? Also, how many Oscars has he won as director? — S.P.
A:Steven Spielberg, one of America’s greatest directors, recently told Lesley Stahl on “60 Minutes” that every one of his movies is a personal movie. However, he admits that his new film, “The Fabelmans,” is semiautobiographical. It’s about a boy, like him, who was obsessed with making movies and whose mismatched parents divorce when he’s a teenager. Paul Dano plays the engineer dad in the movie and Michelle Williams his free-spirit mom, and their respective personalities mirror Spielberg’s own parents.
Spielberg has two Academy Awards as director for “Saving Private Ryan” and “Schindler’s List,” both released in the 1990s. He has a slew of nominations, how-
ever, the most recent of which was “West Side Story” earlier this year, but he lost to Jane Campion for “Power of the Dog.”
Q:
When is the Elizabeth Holmes film coming out starring Jennifer Lawrence? I know she had a baby recently. Did she finish filming already? — P.N.
A:Jennifer Lawrence’s career has slowed down the past few years, but for good reason. She fell in love and married Cooke Maroney, an art gallery owner, and gave birth to their son, Cy, earlier this year. Professionally, she was working on perfecting the deep voice necessary to play fallen tech tycoon Elizabeth Holmes in an upcoming film “Bad Blood,” directed by Adam McKay. However, Lawrence recently announced she’s exited the project after seeing how well Amanda Seyfried did in the same role for “The Dropout,” a limited series on Hulu. Seyfried won an Emmy for her portrayal as well, and Lawrence felt “we don’t need to redo that.” It’s uncertain whether the role will be recast or if the project has been scrapped.

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply
money in place to transform from an explorer to a producer
SASKATOON – Helium explorer Royal Helium is getting the money in place to transform from an explorer to a producer.
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK brian.zinchuk@pipelineonline.ca
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.
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.
“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.”
On Nov. 22, Saskatoon-based Royal Helium Ltd. announced it had executed a term sheet with an arm’s length lender to provide a USD $20 million three-year credit facility. In accordance with the term sheet, an initial draw on the facility in the amount of USD $10 million will be advanced to the company upon closing, which is anticipated to occur on or about December 12, 2022. Proceeds will be used for development and production facilities at the Steveville helium field in Alberta, Canada, to begin purchases for Royal’s production facilities in Saskatchewan, and for general corporate purposes.
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
Jeff Sheppard, the chief financial officer of Royal said in a release, “This project financing, once closed, covers the remaining costs for the Alberta processing plant, allowing Steveville to begin helium deliveries to our off-take partners by April 2023. The credit facility further allows us to begin procurement for our Saskatchewan processing plants at Climax. This credit facility enables the completion of our plant and equipment and our first sales without the reliance on the equity markets.”
Amounts drawn under the facility are subject to 14 per cent per annum interest. In consideration for the grant
plant, very similar to Chinook, is under construction at Moose Jaw.
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.
of the facility, the company has agreed to pay the lender a 5 per cent structuring fee and to issue share purchase warrants equal to 9.90 per cent of the issued share capital of the company at closing, each such warrant exercisable into one common share at a price of CAD $0.35 per common share for a three-year period. Royal will have the right to voluntarily repay, at any time, the principal amount plus interest subject to a minimum interest amount. The facility will be secured by a first charge on the Company’s assets pursuant to a general security agreement and will be subject to customary loan covenants.
“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.”
Hannam & Partners (UK) acted as financial advisors to the company in this transaction. Completion of the credit facility and issuance of the warrant consideration is subject to execution of a definitive agreement and TSX Venture Exchange and regulatory approvals.
This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
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.

Thanksgiving Fails and Easy Fixes
Making the Thanksgiving meal can be stressful because there are many things that can go wrong. So here are fixes to the most common fails.
But first, we’re going to make an emergency kit like an insurance policy in case of disaster. You’ll want a meat thermometer, lots of chicken broth, a packet of instant turkey gravy mix, a spray can of whipped topping and a frozen pizza.
There are few kitchen disasters that can’t be fixed. But if everything goes to heck in a cornucopia, relax. You can always serve the pizza.
Now, I’ll anticipate your calls for help.
Help! My turkey is ...
Frozen! No big deal! You can cook it from frozen.
Remove plastic wrapping and place turkey on a rack in a baking pan. Cook frozen turkey at 325 F for 23 minutes per pound. For example, an 18-pound turkey would take approximately 7 hours from frozen. After 2 hours, remove the partially cooked turkey to remove the bag of giblets from the cavity. Now, brush the turkey with butter, season with salt and pepper and return to the oven. When it’s done, use the thermometer to check for a temperature of 175 F at the thigh and 165 F at the breast. Let it rest, covered, before slicing.
Raw! It’s still pink inside? Well, stick it back in the oven and use that thermometer! If you’re running out of wine and the biggest issue is time, cut the bird into pieces (whole breasts, legs and thighs) and pop them on a sheet pan and stick ’em back in the oven to quickly continue cooking.
Dry! Thickly slice the dry turkey and place into a baking dish. Add chicken broth to cover and stick it in the oven for about 10 minutes. And make extra gravy.
Help! My potatoes are ...
Lumpy! They’re probably undercooked. Stop mashing and find a lump and smoosh it, if it feels solid, put the pan back on low heat, cook until softened and mash again.
Gluey! Oh no! You over mashed the potatoes, releasing starch, resulting in wallpaper paste. So, never use your food processor or mixer to mash

Correct any Thanksgiving meal fails with these easy fixes.
potatoes. A good old-fashioned potato masher does the trick.
If it’s too late and you’ve got gluey potatoes, mix in a bunch of cheese and butter and season liberally. Put the potato mixture in a shallow casserole dish and top with buttered breadcrumbs. Bake until your “potato casserole” is lightly browned on top. And make extra gravy.
Help! My gravy is ...
Lumpy! Easy fix. Pour your gravy through a fine mesh strainer and reheat.
Thin! Mix 3 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch with enough cold water to make a smooth paste. Whisk this into the gravy a bit at a time, letting the gravy simmer until thickened to your liking. Or add some of that instant gravy packet from your insurance policy.
Bland! Most likely, it needs more salt. Add some chicken or vegetable bouillon. Or add that emergency gravy packet and some broth.
Help! My stuffing is ...
Dry! Melt a tablespoon of butter into a cup of warm chicken stock. Add to the stuffing and mix well. Cover and put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes to reheat. And make extra gravy.
Soggy! Spread your stuffing out on a rimmed baking sheet and put it in the oven to dry out a bit.
Help! My dessert has ...
Burnt crust! Carefully remove the crust and either add a crumb topping. (Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Sprinkle it over the filling and bake until golden.) Or use the whipped topping in your emergency kit to pipe a pretty boarder.
Cracked! If your cheesecake or pumpkin pie has a cracked top, use the whipped topping to make a pretty design over the top.
