ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re moving from a relatively stable situation to one that appears to be laced with perplexity. Be patient. You’ll eventually get answers to help clear up the confusion around you.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A vexing situation tempts you to rush to set it all straight. But it’s best to let things sort themselves out so that you can get a better picture of the challenge you’re facing.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Financial matters could create some confusion, especially with a torrent of advice pouring in from several sources. Resist acting on emotion and wait for the facts to emerge.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That goal you’ve set is still in sight and is still in reach. Stay with the course that you’re on. Making too many shifts in direction now could create another set of problems.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) It might be time to confront a trouble-making associate and demand some answers. But be prepared for some surprises that could lead you to make a change in some long-standing plans.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. You’re making great progress in sorting out all that confusion that kept you from making those important decisions. You’re on your way now.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A difficult experience begins to ease. That’s the good news. The notso-good news is a possible complication that could prolong the problem awhile longer.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your self-confidence gets a much-needed big boost as you start to unsnarl that knotty financial problem. Expect some help from a surprising source.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Congratulations. Any lingering negative aftereffects from that not-so-pleasant workplace situation are all but gone. It’s time now to focus on the positive.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your self-confidence grows stronger as you continue to take more control of your life. Arrange for some well-earned fun and relaxation with someone special.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) As usual, you’ve been concerned more about the needs of others than your own. You need to take time for yourself so that you can replenish all that spent energy.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Stronger planetary influences indicate a growing presence of people eager to help you navigate through the rough seas that might mark your career course.

BORN THIS WEEK: You can balance emotion and logic, which gives you the ability to make choices that are more likely than not to prove successful.

Western Pizza

By Kevin Martin Kindersley Chamber of Commerce

Western Pizza has been a familiar pizza place in Kindersley for many a year now. Their mouth watering pizza, ribs and chicken are a staple for any hungry person.

Western Pizza started in Saskatchewan in 1976 and has been steadily growing. The Kindersley location was just purchased last year by Neo and his wife Annie. Neo was already working there as a cook when the opportunity came up to buy the restaurant. Neo and his family are originally from the Philippines and he always had a dream of owning his own business.

Unfortunately, just shortly after they bought the restaurant, COVID-19 hit and they were forced to close for a few months. Now that HURTS! However, they were fortunate, worked hard and have done well with delivery and take-out orders.

What is the secret to their amazing success? Well, it starts with a round, thicker crust. Next, a tomato sauce that is slightly sweet and spicy is spread on it. You won’t find that sauce anywhere else but here. Then you layer on the meat and veggies. Pepperoni, ham, bacon and sausage are some of the favorites here. Fresh mushrooms, peppers and onions seem to be the veggies of choice. Then the cheese is layered on top to melt from edge to edge, making for one thick, hefty and mouth-watering pizza that will fill a family.

Ribs, chicken, pasta, burgers and fries, salads and more are also available

The staff at Western Pizza are always friendly and personable, aiming to make your dining experience a great one. The staff is a tight knit group who take pride in what they do and how they do it. Whether it’s a daily special, a new creation from the kitchen, or just some of your traditional favorites, they are experts with the menu items.

Meeting with a large group? No problem. They will cater to your needs and make sure you’re well taken care of. Having a great experience at a restaurant is about more than the food. It’s about great people too! Experience for yourself what they have to offer. There is also a lounge and some VLT machines to play. Restaurant hours are 11:00 am to 9:00 pm Monday – Sunday.

leading the curious to ask: “Yuck. What happened there?” My answers have changed over the years, but were usually something like: “I was 4. A doctor had to cut my throat open so I could breathe.” But now, I don’t wait for the question. Lately, my scar has helped me do some show-andtell about what causes this near-fatal closing of the windpipe and why doctors don’t see kids dying from Haemophilus influenzae anymore. Could you elaborate?

Extreme Flatulence Is Noxious, Embarrassing

DEAR DR. ROACH: For 58 years, I’ve been walking around with a visible tracheostomy scar on my throat, leading the curious to ask: “Yuck. What happened there?” My answers have changed over the years, but were usually something like: “I was 4. A doctor had to cut my throat open so I could breathe.” But now, I don’t wait for the question. Lately, my scar has helped me do some show-and-tell about what causes this near-fatal closing of the windpipe and why doctors don’t see kids dying from Haemophilus influenzae anymore. Could you elaborate? -- M.A.P.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In 2008, I had a partial sigmoid colectomy. Since then, I have had no recurrence of diverticulitis. The surgeon recommended that I not use laxatives, but rather take fiber gummies to keep things moving easily in addition to drinking lots of fluids.

I am doing that, but my flatulence could power all the homes in a small city. It is difficult to control outbursts, which are noxious and embarrassing in the extreme. Is there any other way to avoid hard stools, straining and other unhealthy gastrointestinal situations? -- J.S.

Is there any other way to avoid hard stools, straining and other unhealthy gastrointestinal situations? — J.S.

ANSWER: I am sorry for your embarrassment, but I agree with the surgeon that getting fiber and plenty of water is the safest and best way to prevent problems. However, maybe it isn’t just the fiber, but your diet that is at least partially responsible for the increased gas. You could try reducing your intake of foods in the cabbage family, onions, beans, corn and other gas-producers. Avoid carbonated beverages and any beverage containing artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol or xylitol. In some people, changing the bacteria that live in your gut (your microbiome) through probiotic supplements and a change of diet can reduce the amount of gas produced.

ANSWER: Haemophilus influenzae (often called H. flu or Hib), despite its name, is not the cause of influenza (the “flu” is caused by a virus). H. flu is a species of bacteria that can cause meningitis, pneumonia and the condition you had, epiglottitis — an inflammation of the epiglottis, the structure that closes your trachea when you swallow.

There are other types of fiber supplements besides fiber gummies that might be better tolerated, or you can get fiber from food.

Before the vaccine for Hib became available, epiglottitis was a feared and not uncommon problem. Back then, doctors were exhaustively taught how to rapidly recognize the life-threatening H. flu epiglottitis so that children could be treated quickly, which sometimes meant an emergency tracheostomy (a direct hole through the throat into the windpipe to allow breathing). That is the procedure that caused the scar on your neck. Despite treatment, 3% to 6% of cases of invasive H. flu were fatal. Your scar may be yucky, but you are lucky to have survived.

During the time I was in medical school, routine vaccination for H. flu became widespread, and the disease essentially went away. History records a 99% drop in this infection. I’ve only ever seen one case. Essentially the only people at risk for this disease now are those who are deliberately unvaccinated.

Your story is important: Many people feel that the diseases we vaccinate against are “no big deal,” but thousands of kids per year died of conditions we thankfully almost never see today. Without continued vaccination, those days will come back.

SIMSA: Persistence pays off as SIMSA holds energy forum online

BY BRIAN ZINCHUK

SASKATOON – In an affirmation of Murphy’s Law, where everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst time, the Saskatchewan Industrial & Mining Suppliers Association (SIMSA) Energy Forum had a tough go. Yet despite all the challenges, they were able to pull off a successful conference on Oct. 6.

And yet the presenters were successful in getting their messages across. And that overall message was there’s a lot of diverse activity happening in the energy sector. Presenters included TC Energy, Crescent Point Energy Crop, Deep Earth Energy Production, Royal Helium, Prairie Lithium, Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources and Ministry of Trade and Export Development, the Saskatchewan Research Council and the aforementioned Paper Excellence.

Up until two weeks before the event, the intention was for it to be held in person, in Regina, according to executive director Eric Anderson on Oct. 7. The October 2020 event had previously been moved to online in February 2021, due to COVID-19. This event was supposed to be the big one. Formerly called the SIMSA Oil and Gas Supply Chain Forum, in recent years the October event has become one of the go-to conferences in the Saskatchewan energy industry.

The renaming has also allowed SIMSA to broaden its horizons, including other subjects that use oil and gas services, but aren’t producing hydrocarbons. That included helium, lithium and geothermal power. At the last minute, they were able to include Paper Excellence, which will be rejuvenating the Prince Albert pulp mill, and providing power to the grid while they do it.

• Fresh H2O Trucks

• Flush Bys

That last-minute addition one might not think is energy related, but it turns out, very much so.

Paper Excellence is going to be producing 50 to 60 megawatts of power, and using 30 to 35, by incinerating biomass. Anderson said Paper Excellence opened up a whole other sector to the suppliers, which is great.

“It’s also a lot of the same suppliers, which is why they were there.”

In the weeks before the event, Anderson noted the vaccine passports had started to become a reality, and COVID-19 case numbers were growing. “And then what happened was that the major resource companies, they started pulling back on the ability of their members of their staff to travel. And when they don’t allow their staff to travel, we can’t have an event.”

That necessitated the move to a virtual format.

“So with when those guys start pulling back on their accessibility other staff, well then, it quickly becomes evident that, you know what, doing this in person will not be a good idea because if they’re not there, it’s kind of a glaring hole.” CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

But getting those presentations before the eyes of the 161 attendees proved to be a challenge. “I used every backup I had put in place,” Anderson said. “It was funny, the only backup I didn’t use was power outages. We had to use backup email, backup network, backup phones, we had to switch presenters. I had to run presentations because people couldn’t get their systems to work. Everything possible than could go wrong, kind of did.”

“It’s not possible without the graciousness of those resource companies,” Anderson said of the energy forum.

“Think about the amount of time and people I’ve put together, and their schedules, for them to do that event, to support the local supply chain, and help the local supply chain; that’s a huge piece, on their behalf.”

Things are looking up

Oil prices are on the rise, as are potash prices. Anderson said, “The supply chain is getting busy, and it’s going to get busier. It’s the way it’s going. Some are already busy, some aren’t, but they’re all heading in that direction.”

The rising price of oil is a net plus for Saskatchewan, as an exporter of oil. It may hurt at the pump, “but it sure does help the province.”

For historical context, the era of US$100 oil saw oil royalties make up roughly 20 per cent of provincial revenues.

As for the energy forum next October, he said, “If we’re not in-person by next year, there will be bigger problems.

“Our mining event, in December, is still planned to be in person. Now the rule for that is you have to be vaccinated, period, there’s no option to have a negative test. That’ll have a trade show and everything.

“That’s coming because that’s what the mining companies want for them to attend,” he said, noting they have to follow the mining companies’ lead.

There was an elderly couple who in their old age noticed that they were getting a lot more forgetful, so they decided to go to the doctor. The doctor told them that they should start writing things down so they don’t forget.

They went home and the old lady told her husband to get her a bowl of ice cream. “You might want to write it down,” she said.

The husband said, “No, I can remember that you want a bowl of ice cream.”

She then told her husband she wanted a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream. “Write it down,” she told him.

Again he said, “No, no, I can remember: you want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream.”

Then the old lady said she wants a bowl of ice cream with whipped

cream and a cherry on top. “Write it down,” she told her husband.

Again he said, “No, I got it. You want a bowl of ice cream with whipped cream and a cherry on top.”

So he goes to get the ice cream and spends an unusually long time in the kitchen, over 30 minutes. He comes out to his wife and hands her a plate of eggs and bacon.

The old wife stares at the plate for a moment, then looks at her husband and asks, “Where’s the toast?” ***

In a Catholic school cafeteria, a nun places a note in front of a pile of apples, “Only take one. God is watching.”

Further down the line is a pile of cookies. A little boy makes his own note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.”

HOW TO HELP AN AGING DOG

1. Visit the vet without a gap

A thorough and regular examination of your older dog will increase the chances of getting health complications detected early. Make the appointments with the vet a priority. You can also go for some good joint pain relief for dogs as arthritis is the most common health problem in senior dogs.

2. Keep them away from extreme temperatures

Dogs love playing and being active. However, as the owner, you need to be careful about not exposing your older dog to extreme temperatures. Keep their activity routine on the go but take care of your senior dog’s comfort as well. Prefer a walk to the park or a bit of activities to keep the body moving.

3. Age-appropriate diet for better digestion and good health

The aging organs of your senior dog tend to become weaker when it comes to digestion. Hence, it becomes important to consult your vet and plan a proper nutritious diet for the aging dogs. Make sure your dogs are healthy and not losing or gaining much weight. Keep fresh water easily accessible to avoid dehydration.

4. A comfortable bed and familiar surroundings

Make sure your senior dog is getting soft blankets and a comfortable bed for better sleep. Keep the surroundings familiar so that aging dogs don’t need to struggle remembering where to eat and where to sleep. Be alert to track any change of behavior or discomfort that aging dogs might be facing.

5. Focus on the mental stimulation of the older dog(s)

Apart from taking care of the health and surroundings of your older pet, you should also try different ways for his/her mental stimulation. Try playing fun games or keep her engaged in fun activities to keep the brain waves working. This will help in stimulating new cells and delay aging.

Final Thoughts: Aging is very natural and you can, by no means, prevent it. Seeing your furry partner age is definitely not easy. But a little effort on your part can help your pet a lot.
