Westberry students and staff honour veterans
BY JOAN JANZEN
Westberry students, staff and visitors assembled on Monday morning, November 4th for a Remembrance Day Ceremony. The Grade 3 students filed on to the stage, with several of them taking on the role of MC for the ceremony. Both students and staff wore their best attire for the occasion.
The Grade 3 students sang the National Anthem after the Marching of the Colours by members of the Legion and RCMP. Each of the Grade 3 classes recited a poem, and wreaths were laid on behalf of the school and the Legion, before several Grade 4 students brought their handcrafted wreaths up to the stage.
“Peace like a River” was sung by the Grade 3 students. The “Last Post” was followed by two minutes of silence and the Rouse, a morning wake-up trumpet call.
Legion President Scott Holloway addressed the students, staff and visitors, reminding the audience of honouring those who protect us and stand in harms way. Many fought, died and never came home. “We want to value their lives and honour their families,” he said.
The audience enjoyed a musical video presentation by various groups of six students, followed by students answering the question “What does peace mean to you?”
Once again the Grade 3 students sang a song “We Must Remember”, before singing “God Save the King” prior to the marching out of the Colour Party.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A rejection of your attempt to be friendly leaves you with two choices: Try again or give up. If you want to make another effort, go slowly. Let things develop without pressure.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It could be a problem dealing with unfamiliar people who do things differently from what you’re used to. But rely on your strong sense of purpose to get you through this difficult period.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) To avoid neglecting a personal matter because of a demanding new workplace schedule, start prioritizing immediately. Knowing how to apportion your time takes a little while to set
lenge because of shifting circumstances. But a more settled period starts by midweek, allowing you to firm up your plan-making once and for all.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The facts continue to be on your side. So, make use of them when dealing with any challenge to your stated position. Also, open your mind to an offer of help from an unlikely source.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) There still could be a communication problem holding up the resolution of a troublesome situation. Stay with it, and eventually, your message will get through and be understood.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) It won’t be easy to avoid some of the pressures that come with change. Best advice: Take things a step at a time, and you’ll be less likely to trip up when things are in a chaotic state.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A much-talked-about workplace change could be coming up soon. Be sure to get all the details involved in the process, and once you have them, you can decide how you want to deal with it.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still believe that your trust was betrayed, although the facts would appear to prove the opposite. But by the week’s end, you should learn something that will help set the record straight.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Holiday plans could be a chal-
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A possible change in your workplace schedule might create a chaotic situation for a while. But once things begin to settle down, you might find that this could work to your advantage.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A recent job-linked decision might need to be reassessed because of the possibility of finding benefits that you might have overlooked. Check out all related data to help in the search.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A personal situation you agreed to might not be as acceptable to the other person who is involved in the matter. Avoid pressuring and bullying. Instead, seek common ground by talking things through.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for touching people’s minds as well as their hearts. You would be an outstanding educator.

A remarkable alignment between Trump, the US House and Senate, Danielle Smith, Scott Moe and maybe Pierre Poilievre could make it happen
It was May 26, 2016, when I had the chance to ask Donald Trump if he would approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
On that day in Bismarck, North Dakota, he had just secured enough delegates to become the presumptive Republican candidate for president.
I asked if he would approve the Keystone XL. He said he would, but he wanted a piece. It was the biggest moment in my journalism career.
The saga of what happened since then is too long to recreate, other than it the only portions built were in Alberta, paid for by the Province of Alberta. This past year, after 18 years of heartbreak and misery, TC Energy announced it was dumping its experiment into oil pipelines like a despised soon-to-be-ex-wife.
TC Energy announced on July 27 it would spin off a new liquids pipelines company from its natural gas pipelines and power generation business. The new company, South Bow, took the 72 kilometre, 20 inch White Spruce Pipeline and 460 kilometre, 20 inch Grand Rapid Pipeline in northern Alberta. But those were chicken feed. The spin off was all about the half-continent spanning 30 and 36 inch Keystone System/ Marketlink which runs 4,324 kilometres from Hardisty, Alberta, to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
At the Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith brought up something remarkable – the idea of dusting off pipeline projects that were dead and buried. One project she mentioned was Keystone XL.
She said on Sept. 11, “I would also love to see a restart of some kind of project on Keystone XL. Maybe that route was not the right one. Maybe if they just twinned the existing route? Maybe that would have been the pathway to go, because we managed to get Line 3 and Trans Mountain done on the basis of using an existing right of way.”
It’s an intriguing idea, especially since nearly all of the Canadian pipe is in the ground. As mentioned above, Alberta paid for the construction of the line from Hardisty to close to the Saskatchewan border at Empress, Alberta. That was supposed to be the starting point for KXL to go straight southwest through Saskatchewan, Montana, South Dakota to Steele City, Nebraska.
But it was also supposed to be the starting point for the doomed Energy East pipeline. That line was supposed to make use of an underused 42 inch line in the TransCanada mainline, converting it to natural gas, and extending it past Kingston, Ontario to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Email: service@proplusrentals.ca Ph: 306-463-4886 114 - 12th Avenue East, Kindersley, SK TARNES ELECTRIC HIRING IMMEDIATELY
Well, TC Energy might be rethinking their spinoff now. Oops.
Just months after the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) going online, the Canadian oil industry is already looking for its next export pipeline.

While I still think we should revive that project, if we can’t, then we should use that pipe to revive the Keystone idea.
Call it Keystone II. Or better yet, call it something totally different. Trump 1. I don’t care. Anything but Keystone. And he’d approve
Trump 1 in a New York minute
So you start at Hardisty, go to Empress, use the existing 42 inch line through Saskatchewan via Moose Jaw, Regina and Moosomin to Brandon. There, the route takes a right turn, straight south to Steele City, paralleling the first Keystone Pipeline.
That’s roughly 1100 kilometres of new pipe, along an existing right-of-way. And that rightof-way conveniently sidesteps Montana, where a ridiculous Judge Brian Morris twice killed the last project, putting the final nail in its coffin before President Joe Biden backfilled the grave. (Morris is now Chief Judge in Montana’s United District Court, elevated in 2020. Imagine that. Good luck building a pipe through that state.)
We might soon have an incredible alignment, with Donald Trump as president, Republican House and Senate, conservative governments in Edmonton, Regina and quite possibly Otta-
wa. If Pierre Poilievre displaces Justin Trudeau as prime Minister, we could see an alignment of like-minded governments that might never happen again. But that means we need to make this happen in three years, including approvals, not a decade or longer.
And it can be done. I worked on a crew that, along with several other crews, built a pipeline from Fort St. John, B.C., to Chicago. We got it done, from scratching dirt to in commission, in 16 months from 1999 to 2000. You just need to cut all the ridiculous bovine feces that has crept into the regulatory environment since then, and let fly.
We can do it. We should do it. But we need to move fast.

Spooky!
When Joshua Dairen and his wife, Keema Miller, bought a coffee shop in Opelika, Alabama, in early 2023, they might not have expected to experience paranormal phenomena -- but the soldier ghost who frequents the place didn’t know that. Metro News reported that Dairen hears “rustling” noises from the back office when he’s in the shop alone, and on Sept. 24, the barista saw a “soldier” walking toward them before disappearing. Dairen believes the shop is haunted by someone who died in the Civil War. “I have seen unexplained boot prints on the floor,” he said. “Nobody in our shop has ever worn combat boots.” Dairen looked back into the town’s history and found that many soldiers lost their lives in a raid on Confederate supply depots there. “Luckily, nothing has presented itself as threatening toward us,” Dairen said.
Latest Religious Message
Attendees of the Lucca Comics and Games conference in Italy this week are getting a first look at the new mascot for the Vatican’s 2025 jubilee, the Catholic News Agency reported. The church declares a jubilee, or a year of grace and pilgrimage, every 10 to 50 years. This year’s new addition is Luce, a cartoon figure a la Olympics mascots, who the church hopes will help engage with “the pop culture so beloved by our young people.” Luce (which means “light” in Italian) and her “pilgrim friends” are promoting “the
theme of hope, which is more central than ever to the evangelical message,” said Archbishop Rino Fisichella.
But Why?
Mary Kay Bower, 42, of St. Paul, Minnesota, was arrested on Oct. 19 for rustling and livestock theft, which is a felony, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reported. Officers were alerted to Bower when she and a man were seen walking a sheep and a dog on leashes. Bower told them that she purchased the sheep for $200, but her companion ratted her out: He said she stepped over a farm fence, put a leash on the sheep and pulled it out through the fence. When police checked with the farm owner, they found out that Bower had not paid for the animal, a breeding hair ram worth about $500. Bower’s tattoo might have given her away: She has a sheep inked on her left cheek.

Cursive Words
In Chestertown, Maryland, students have been studying since 1782 at Washington College, WTOP-TV reported. Our first president gave permission for his name to be used for the school, and even contributed 50 guinea coins toward its founding. But on Oct. 8, the college announced that it would update its logo, adopted in 2013, which uses the general’s scripty signature, for something less cursive-y. “Because cursive writing is no longer taught universally in K-12 education, the script ... was difficult to read and not immediately recognizable for many prospective students,” said Brian Speer, the college’s vice president for marketing and communications.
Creme de la Weird
A 107-year-old Chinese woman named Chen has become a social media star, the New York Post reported on Oct. 29, because of an unusual facial feature -- a 4-inch-long horn growing out of her forehead. Some viewers think the growth is responsible for Chen’s advanced age and are calling it a “longevity horn.” Doctors, however, say it’s a cutaneous horn, which is often associated with prolonged sun exposure. Nevertheless, Chen remains in good health and eats heartily, and she has no intention of having the horn removed.
TAX TIPS
Social media influencers are on the move and extending their “influence” to even the most mundane of travel experiences: putting items in a bin for the TSA conveyor. Reader’s Digest reported on Oct. 28 that people are curating their travel bins -- arranging everything just so, then taking photos to post on the socials -- and getting reactions such as “i would buy prints of these!” and “your shoes omg.” A TSA spokesperson responded: “As long as the staged glamour photos are not causing delays or issues with other passengers in

Now that “The Great” is no longer running, what series or movie will Elle Fanning do next? Also, did she ever win an Emmy for “The Great”? She should have!
— K.W.
A:Elle Fanning has been nominated for an Emmy and three Golden Globes for her portrayal of Catherine the Great in the Hulu series “The Great,” but she never won. The series was critically acclaimed but canceled after three seasons, and she’s since moved on to other projects.
Next up for Fanning is the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” opposite Timothée Chalamet. (Perhaps an Oscar is in her future?) She’ll also star as the titular character in the upcoming Apple TV+ series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” which is based on the novel of the same name by Rufi Thorpe. The all-star cast includes Michelle Pfeiffer (“The First Lady”), Nicole Kidman (“Bombshell”) and Nick Offerman (“The Last of Us”).
Pfeiffer’s husband, David E. Kelley, is the showrunner. Kelley last worked with Kidman in the HBO series “Big Little Lies.” He’s best known for “L.A. Law,” “Ally McBeal” and “The Practice,” which were all huge hits on network television. He’s most recently created shows for streaming services — some hits, some not — but “The Lincoln Lawyer” and “Presumed Innocent” were strong showings for Netflix and Apple, respectively.
Q:I’ve been watching the Bruce Springsteen documentary on Hulu, but I could have sworn there was also a movie coming out with an actor playing him. Am I remembering correctly? — D.D.
A:You didn’t dream it; it’s true. A motion picture about Springsteen’s life while recording his iconic acoustic album “Nebraska” in the early 1980s is currently in production. None other than Emmy-Award-winning actor Jeremy Allen White (“The Bear”) will portray him and says that he would even like to try singing for the film, as opposed to being dubbed over.
Titled “Deliver Me from Nowhere,” the movie is based on the recent book of the same name by author Warren Zanes
Elle Fanning as Catherine the Great in “The Great”
and will be directed by Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”). The film will also star two other actors who are no strangers to awards ceremonies: Jeremy Strong (“Succession”) and Paul Walter Hauser (“Black Bird”).
***
Q:Is Johnny Depp going to do any more “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies, or is his career pretty much over since his trial with Amber Heard? — L.L.
A:Even though Depp won his defamation trial in the United States against his ex-wife Amber Heard (“Aquaman”) and has done some independent films, he hasn’t quite made a comeback as a movie star. It’s doubtful that there will be another “Pirates” movie with Depp in the starring role, but he’s still planning to inch his way back onto our movie screens.
He’s recently been cast in his fourth film opposite Penelope Cruz, titled “Day Drinker.” The two previously appeared in the movies “Blow,” “Pirates on the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and most recently “Murder on the Orient Express.” It’ll be his first big studio project since his career went south.
