Kindersley RCMP Offer Safety Tips to Stay Safe on Halloween

With Halloween approaching this upcoming Monday the Kindersley RCMP want to make sure that everyone has a safe Halloween and are offering these trick-or-treat tips:

Make sure your costume is spooky AND safe: Wear well-fitting costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision and falls.

Here’s a bright idea: Wear reflective tape on your costume or carry a flashlight. This way you’re visible to drivers!

Use the buddy system: Travel in groups of four or more. Young children should always be accompanied by an adult.

Check your loot: Have an adult sort and check candy for signs of tampering, allergies and expiration dates.

Drivers keep an eye out for trick-ortreaters that may be running on the roads.

Between October 17th to October 23rd, 2022, Kindersley RCMP responded to 51 calls for service*. These calls included, but were not limited to, 1 impaired driving charge traffic, 3 mental health related calls, and 6 suspicious person/vehicle complaints.

If you need to report any suspicious activity in your community, please contact the Kindersley RCMP detachment by calling 306-463-4642 or their local police service. Information can also be provided anonymously through Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers by calling 1800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers.com.

Kindersley Players are up to some spooky stuff

Want to be be spooked for Halloween? The Kindersley Players are busy creating a spooky Shocktober Haunted House at the Kindersley Centre located at Hwy 7, 608 - 12th Avenue East. Each night from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m., on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, October 28th to 30th, visitors aged 12 years and older, can purchase a $10 ticket, and see the scary antics that are going on.

On the day of Halloween, children five years and older will be able to tour a kid’s version of the haunted house from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Tickets at the door cost $2.00.

The Kindersley Players group is up to their scary business for the first time since 2018. Now they are busy bringing out all their props and costumes, explained Judy Lavoie, a member of Kindersley Players, who oversees the project.

“We have two trailers full of props and costumes; the walls are in one trailer and the props in another,” Judy explained. It takes a lot of work to make this event happen. Kindersley Players consists of a core group of three or four people, but they are joined by 30 volunteers who begin working in September until the end of October, when they spend three nights a week setting up, decorating and constructing.

Program

We are excited to tell you about a new program in Kindersley called FoodMesh, a collaboration between Kindersley Christian Fellowship and Buy-Low Foods. This program makes free groceries available to individuals in need by collecting surplus food and groceries from local stores.

Please see the details below on how you can access this program and get free groceries. Everyone is welcome and this program is operating every week.

When: Every week on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

Location: Christian Fellowship Church (East Door) 800 - 12th Ave. E., Kindersley, SK

Please bring a grocery bag or box with you.

For more information, please contact Kindersley Christian Fellowship at 306-463-6146 or Barb at 306-460-9304.

“It’s a lot of work for just four days,” Judy said. “But people want to get out and start doing stuff. A lot of volunteer hours are involved, but it’s only for a short period of time.”

The group begins by walking through the three adjoining spaces located in the centre of the mall, and decides where to put up walls. After the walls are in place, construction and decorating begins.

“We did a little run through the oth-

er night and worked on some lighting and sound,” Judy said. Adam Naismith, a local teacher who has experience working in theatre, is helping with the sound effects and lighting. “We’re very lucky to have him.” Judy said. However, there won’t be any actors or sound effects during the kids version of the haunted house, and the lights will be kept on.

About twenty people from the group of volunteers will also be participating as actors in the haunted house. A few of those actors are high school students. All the proceeds from the event will be going towards the purchase of a stage theatre projector. “All of our funds will be going towards this for the next little while,” Judy explained. “We’re trying to turn the Norman Ritchie Centre into kind of a community theatre, and the building is really coming together. It’s the only live theatre building in town.”

Kindersley Players are hoping to get a good crowd, and attract visitors from all the surrounding areas. Judy recalls the event attracted 700 visitors when it was previously held at the Norman Ritchie Centre, but she has no idea how many people to expect in 2022.

Q:Whatever happened to Sandra Bernhard? I remember her funny appearances on the “Late Night with David Letterman,” and she was in a few movies, but I haven’t seen her in decades. Is she still in showbiz? — H.U.

A:The now 67-year-old actress Sandra Bernhard started out in standup comedy, before landing a scenestealing role of a stalker in the Martin Scorsese film “The King of Comedy,” opposite Robert DeNiro. She followed that with more than 20 appearances on “Late Night with David Letterman” and also landed a recurring role on the hit sitcom “Roseanne” for several seasons. In recent years, she’s had regular roles on sitcoms like “2 Broke Girls” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” as well as two Ryan-Murphy-produced series “Pose” and “American Horror Story.” Her biggest missed opportunity, though, was turning down the role of Miranda on “Sex and the City” due to “low pay” and a “terrible” script at the time. Cynthia Nixon went on to become a household name after being cast in the role, but Bernhard told Howard Stern in an interview that she doesn’t regret her decision. Fortunately, she’s part of the Murphy universe and has a role in the new season of “American Horror Story: NYC” on the FX channel. She also recently wrapped filming for the upcoming comedy film “Out of Order!” starring Brooke Shields and Brandon Routh.

***

Q:When are the Hallmark Christmas movies starting? With Christmas decorations in stores already, do the movies start in October, too? — Y.J.

Christmas movies. Mario Lopez, Maria Menounos, Patti LaBelle and Jana Kramer are part of the Lifetime lineup. Even streaming giant Netflix has gotten into the game, with original movies like “Falling for Christmas,” which marks Lindsay Lohan’s big comeback, premiering Nov. 10.

***

Q:Are the Golden Globe Awards ever coming back to television? The Emmy Awards now resemble them, with celebrities sitting at tables nearby each other, but I wish the Emmys would go back to rows of seating like the Oscars. — G.H.

A:As a matter of fact, yes, Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” schedule starts with the movie “Noel Next Door” on Friday, Oct. 21 at 8 p.m ET, starring Natalie Hall and Corey Sevier. On Oct. 30, Kim Matula and Ian Harding star in “Ghosts of Christmas Always” at 8 p.m. ET on the Hallmark Channel. The schedule really picks up in November and, of course, throughout December, with holiday films featuring favorites like Alison Sweeney, Aimee Teegarden, Jack Wagner and more. Holiday-themed TV movies aren’t exclusive to the Hallmark franchise. The Lifetime network has just as many

A:Yes, the Golden Globe Awards will return with a televised ceremony on NBC Jan. 10, 2023, preceded by the nominations being announced on Dec. 12. The network skipped broadcasting it last year, after record-low ratings in 2021 and the discovery that there were no African Americans among its 87member voting organization, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. With a more-diversified panel and a post-pandemic increase in movie ticket sales, it’s hoped that the Golden Globes can return to being a celebrated, fun event.

Meringue Ghost Cookies So Easy It’s Scary

Meringue is a light, airy and beautifully sweet French dessert made from stiffly whipped egg whites and sugar. Many people think it’s a very difficult and temperamental technique, yet it’s actually quite simple. When you see how easy and inexpensive this is, you’ll never buy meringues from the bakery again!

To make our adorable little ghost cookies, we need hard meringues. This is meringue that has been baked in an oven. They are solid to the touch and light as air. They can shatter when you bite into them, then dissolve pleasingly on the tongue. Hard meringue can be eaten as a confection, a cookie or used as a base for other desserts. Making meringue is easiest with a stand mixer, but I’ve used a hand mixer with no trouble. I wouldn’t try to whisk meringues by hand; it’s too much work for a Diva.

It’s extremely important to keep the yolks separate from the whites. Any fat from egg yolk will prevent egg whites from beating properly.

It’s easiest to separate eggs when they’re cold, but let the whites come to room temperature before using.

FRENCH MERINGUE COOKIES

Yield: 36 cookies

Total Time: 1 hour 50 minutes

3 egg whites, room temperature

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 225 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in the mixing bowl of a stand mixer (or a metal or glass bowl with a hand mixer). Use the whisk attachment on high speed and whip eggs until they hold soft peaks.

To create ghosts, with a piping bag and a large round tip, use a motion like making a soft serve ice cream cone. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with a small corner cut off. That’s what I used for the photo. Easy!

Bake for 30 minutes then turn the oven off. Leave them there until completely dry, between one and two hours. Another name for meringue cookies is “Forgotten Cookies,” as they can be left in an oven for long periods of time after the cooking is done.

economy will be in shambles as we keep jacking the price up. You are at our mercy.” Were not sure if we should laugh or cry at Gordon’s submission!

To decorate as ghosts, use melted chocolate and a toothpick to draw faces.

Warning! Cooked meringues cannot be refrigerated or they will become soggy like cardboard. But they will keep for at least a week if you store them in an airtight container.

Now that you know how to make meringue, there are so many ways to enjoy it. For example, little onebite meringues are called kisses and are eaten as a sweet little confection. They are often made with chopped nuts, cherries or coconut. Alternatively, you can shape them into dessert shells that you fill with ice cream, custard, whipped cream or fruit.

Enjoy your fru-ghoul and fa-boolous ghosts, and happy Halloween!

***

To avoid an accident, use the threebowl method. Separate each egg white into a cup or small bowl before transferring the yolk to a second bowl and the whites to a third bowl. Use any white that has even a speck of yolk in it for another purpose.

Reducing the speed to medium and whisking constantly, add sugar 2 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until sugar is well dissolved before adding the next. Continue beating until whites are glossy and stand in stiff peaks. Add vanilla and blend one final time.

Aiming for around 2 tablespoons per cookie, pipe or spoon your meringue onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Carbon offset credits from farming to be implemented, reducing other sectors carbon burden

Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

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.

REGINA – The Saskatchewan First Act, a made-in Saskatchewan carbon offset credit program, continuing work on small modular reactors and development of substantially more wind and solar power production were the key energy issues brought up in the Oct. 26 Saskatchewan speech from the throne. The throne speech was entitled “Growth that works for everyone.”

The Saskatchewan First Act was alluded to in Premier Scott Moe’s recent release of a white paper discussing how nine federal programs and initiatives for the sake of climate change, if fully implemented, would cost this province $111 billion by 2035.

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.”

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.

The act is meant to clearly define and defend Saskatchewan’s exclusive jurisdiction over natural resources and its economic future within the Canadian Constitution. It would do so by constitutionally by amending The Saskatchewan Act to state that Saskatchewan continues to retain exclusive jurisdiction over its own natural resources. Along these lines, Saskatchewan would continue to press for greater provincial control over immigration, as has long been guaranteed to Quebec. The government would also introduce legislation enabling Saskatchewan to collect its own corporate income tax.

While Saskatchewan had been unsuccessful in its legal attempt to scuttle the federally imposed carbon tax, this throne speech sketches out a possible strategy to do an end-around, involving carbon offset credits and farming.

The throne speech said, “My government believes there are better ways to address climate change than the punitive taxes and ineffective regulations imposed by the federal government.

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

“This year, we committed additional resources to support work undertaken through our Prairie Resilience climate change strategy.

“To help lower global greenhouse gas emissions and to recognize the sustainability of Sas-

katchewan commodities sold around the world, my government will create a made-in Saskatchewan program to generate voluntary carbon offset credits to producers and companies whose commodities have lower greenhouse gas emissions than global averages.

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.

“These offset credits can then be used by Saskatchewan producers and companies as part of their own efforts to voluntarily reduce emissions or can be traded to others for similar purposes.”

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.

To that end, “In 2020, Saskatchewan sequestered nearly 13 million tonnes of carbon in its agricultural soils, the equivalent of taking 2.78 million cars off the road for a year.

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.

“Today, 95 per cent of Saskatchewan land is cultivated using zero or minimum till practices – the highest percentage among the prairie provinces.

“My government will continue to ensure our producers have every opportunity to reach maximum production in a sustainable manner.”

Power production

“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.”

Saskatchewan, through SaskPower, will continue to develop zero-carbon dioxide power production. Indeed, this part of the throne speech was one of the most lengthy and detailed. It said:

This province is now largely dependent on neighbouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.

Today, many countries in Europe and elsewhere are facing energy shortages caused by failure to ensure reliable baseload power generation.

That will not happen here.

My government is taking an all-of-the-above approach to power generation.

We are expanding renewable energy at a rapid pace.

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.

SaskPower currently has 680 megawatts of wind and solar generation with an additional 330 megawatts in development.

Two major wind power facilities came online this year – the 200-megawatt Golden South Wind Project near Assiniboia and the 175-megawatt Blue

“Small” enough to care, “Big” enough to supply

Hills Wind Project near Herbert.

Earlier this month, SaskPower announced plans for development of a further 400 megawatts of wind generation and 300 megawatts of solar generation in south-central Saskatchewan by 2026.

This initiative is part of SaskPower’s larger strategy of adding 3,000 megawatts of wind and solar power to our supply mix and achieving 50 per cent renewable generation by 2035.

SaskPower has also agreed to purchase electricity from two solar projects involving First Nations.

The George Gordon First Nation and Star Blanket Cree Nation are partners in a 10-megawatt solar facility now operating near Weyburn.

The Cowessess First Nation owns the majority stake in a 10-megawatt solar facility south of Regina, which is expected to begin operations this fall.

SaskPower also continues to expand natural gas power generating capacity.

The Great Plains Power Station, a 360-megawatt facility under construction near Moose Jaw, is more than half complete and will begin generating electricity next year.

More than $110 million in local work was awarded during the construction of the power station, including $21 million to Indigenous companies.

When Great Plains fires up, SaskPower will have 11 natural gas generating facilities.

The expansion of cleaner burning natural gas power generation has helped SaskPower meet its environmental goals.

The company is on track to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by at least 50 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030.

SaskPower is continuing to plan for the potential development and deployment of small modular nuclear reactors.

Last month, the company identified the Estevan and Elbow areas as potential sites for a small modular reactor.

Significant public consultation and engagement will take place before a final decision is made on whether to construct a small modular reactor by 2029.

Oil and gas

As for oil and gas, there were no direct initiatives mentioned. Beyond the Saskatchewan First Act and power production initiatives, all the throne speech had to say specifically about oil and gas was this: “Our province’s oil and gas sector has come alive as production of some of the most sustainable energy in the world moves closer to

pre-pandemic levels.”

There will be support for Saskatchewan’s Indigenous people to get involved in oil and gas. The speech noted, “We have created the Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation. The corporation will offer up to $75 million in loan guarantees to support Indigenous equity ownership in mining, oil and gas, forestry and value-added agriculture projects.”

But higher resource revenues, a strong economy, and stronger tax revenues mean Saskatchewan will balance the provincial budget this year – four years ahead of schedule.

And this is where the $500 cheques for Saskatchewan residents. The speech said, “While higher resource prices have strengthened Saskatchewan’s economy and improved our province’s finances, they have also increased the cost of almost everything.

“Saskatchewan people own the province’s resources.

“Saskatchewan people should benefit when resource prices are high.”

This will result in a four-point affordability plan to:

• Deliver a $500 Saskatchewan Affordability Tax Credit cheque to everyone age 18 and older;

• Continue to exempt fitness and gym memberships and other activities from the Provincial Sales Tax;

• Extend the reduction of the small business tax rate; and

• Pay down up to $1 billion in operating debt, saving nearly $50 million a year in interest costs.

The speech said Saskatchewan is on track to reach 1.2 million people before the end of 2022 –an increase of nearly 200,000 people or 20 per cent since the Saskatchewan Party formed government in 2007.

During this session, Saskatchewan will further enhance provincial autonomy by introducing legislation enabling the province to collect its own corporate income tax, as is currently done in Alberta and Quebec.

The Throne Speech concludes by saying: “In a world plunged into uncertainty, Saskatchewan is a reliable, indispensable supplier of food, fuel and fertilizer to millions of people around the globe. My government is charting a course that ensures our economy continues to grow and that everyone in Saskatchewan benefits from that growth.

“More people, more jobs and more investment in government services. That’s growth that works for everyone.”

Still accepting all

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now and then.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Although you love being the focus of everyone’s attention, it’s a good idea to take a few steps back right now to just watch the action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

“Caution” continues to be your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Making a good first impression is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of humor can help you get through some of the more awkward situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Are you taking that Cancer Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between you and that special person needs to be handled with honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations. Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But, no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve that on-the-job problem.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new relationship could create resentment among family and friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate on completing all your unfinished tasks before deadline. You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But keep your objectivity, and avoid showing any favoritism between the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent counselor.

* May never begins or ends on the same day of the week as any other month in any given year.

* Proof that crime doesn’t pay ... even in space! Earlier this year, Canada passed a law allowing prosecution of crimes committed by the country’s astronauts on the moon or on their way to it.

* The greatest number of people to play a single piano simultaneously is 23.

* For a reasonable $19.95, you too can buy alien abduction insurance from a Florida agent. Of course, to cash it in, you’ll need to hand over a signature from an “authorized, on-board alien,” and who knows if they can even write in English?

“The Curse of Bridge Hollow” (TV-14) — Howard (Marlon Wayans) and Emily (Kelly Rowland) decide to move their family from Brooklyn to the Halloween-obsessed suburban town of Bridge Hollow, much to their teenage daughter Sydney’s reluctance. Once in Bridge Hollow, Sydney (Priah Ferguson ) learns about the town tale of Stingy Jack, who had died in the very house her family just moved into. While sleuthing around the house, Sydney gets tricked into lighting Stingy Jack’s lantern, unknowingly unleashing a spirit that makes all the Halloween decorations around town come to life. It’s up to Sydney, her family and the eccentric folks of Bridge Hollow to break the curse and save the town from getting taken over. Out now. (Netflix)

“Torn Hearts” (NR) — Country music duo Leigh (Alexxis Lemire) and Jordan (Abby Quinn) have been trying to break into the music industry but have grown frustrated playing for small crowds in Nashville. So, when Jordan meets a guy who once worked with one of their idols, Harper Dutch from the The Duchess Sisters, Jordan finesses Harper’s address out of him, and the aspiring musicians decide to pay her a visit. Harper (Katey Sagal), the only living Duchess Sister, oddly welcomes the two ecstatic girls in and even agrees to make a song with them. With Leigh and Jordan blinded by excitement, they don’t realize that Harper may have hidden motives of her own. From Blumhouse Productions, out on Oct. 20. (Prime Video)

“Rosaline” (PG-13) — We all know

William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” but does anyone recall the name Rosaline, the first girl who Romeo started raving about? If you’ve ever wondered what happened to her, Rosaline finally gets to tell her side of the story in this new romantic comedy out now. After accidentally catching Romeo giving his signature monologue to Juliet, Rosaline is willing to go to any lengths to break up the star-crossed lovers and win Romeo back. Kaitlyn Dever (“Booksmart”) and Isabela Merced (“Dora and the Lost City of Gold”) star in this fun spin on a classic play. (Hulu)

“Raymond and Ray” — AppleTV+’s latest releases have been very introspective, character-driven films and series that highlight more human struggles, and “Raymond and Ray” releasing Oct. 21 is a film that fits perfectly into that same category. Produced by Alfonso Cuaron (“Roma”), Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke play two estranged half-brothers who reunite after their father’s passing, his last wish being that the two brothers dig his grave. Neither brother had a good relationship with their father, but they work together to oblige his wishes. In turn, these two brothers have each other to walk down the rocky path of mourning a parent and hope that, eventually, it will all lead to forgiveness. (AppleTV+)
