STOLEN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT

Kindersley RCMP is requesting the public’s assistance in locating the individual(s) responsible for theft of oilfield equipment. Sometime overnight on November 12th and into the morning of November 13th Teine Heavy Oil operating north of Marengo had several rental tools stolen. The items are valued at over $30,000 and are very specific tools.

“We are hoping that if someone saw any suspicious vehicles or people at the worksite that night or have seen the tools they can report them to the Kindersley RCMP or contact Crime Stoppers if they wish to remain anonymous.” Stated Staff Sergeant Kevin Peterson.

Residents can contact the Kindersley RCMP by calling 306-463-4642. Crime Stoppers tips can be submitted by calling 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submitting a tip online at www. saskcrimestoppers.com.

WINTER DRIVING TIPS

As local residents have had a good blast of snowy weather show up over the last week the Kindersley RCMP would like to offer the following driving tips for the winter season:

• Scrape all the ice off your windows before driving – if you can’t see, you can’t drive safely!

• Remove all snow from your vehicle, including from your headlights, taillights and roof.

• Slow down on slippery or snowy roads.

• Be gentle and smooth when you accelerate, brake or steer.

• Using cruise control on icy or snowy roads can be dangerous! If you skid, your vehicle will accelerate and rapidly spin its wheels as it tries to maintain a constant speed.

• Before traveling, check the weather forecast for both your current location and destination. If travel can be delayed during storm warnings, do so.

• Be prepared for anything: consider stocking your vehicle with extra warm clothes, candles, matches, non-perishable snacks, a snow shovel, traction mats, booster cables and a tow rope or chain.

• If you become stranded on the highway, do not leave your vehicle! Turn on your vehicle periodically to warm up, but try to conserve fuel. Make sure your tailpipe remains clear of ice and snow, or carbon monoxide could potentially seep into your vehicle.

Q:Do the People’s Choice Awards still exist? As a kid, I remember them being on TV. I always wanted to take a survey to vote for my favorites, but never got the chance. — H.L.

A:Yes, the People’s Choice Awards are still a thing and are still broadcast on network television. This year, they’ll be hosted by Kenan Thompson (“Saturday Night Live”) and air on NBC and the E! channel on Dec. 6 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Voting is done online by Nov. 9 at www.votepca.com.

The awards first aired in 1975, and up until 2005, the winners were determined through a Gallup poll. The first winners included Barbra Streisand as Favorite Film Actress and John Wayne as Favorite Film Actor. Ellen DeGeneres has won the most awards since its inception. This year, Ryan Reynolds (“The Adam Project”) will be honored with the “People’s Icon Award” for the bulk of his work.

Each category for the stars, shows and movies consist of eight nominees each and include recent films like “Halloween Ends” and “Black Adam.”

***

Q:Did they ever find a permanent host for “Jeopardy!” or will they continue to rotate the two they have now? — A.A.

A:In July 2022, it was officially announced that Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik would remain hosts of the hit syndicated game show “Jeopardy!” When Alex Trebek passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2020, there was a long rotation of hosts, including NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and fan favorite LeVar Burton (“Reading Rainbow”), until it was announced the search had ended because producer Mike Richards had landed the coveted job. He was soon fired after past sexist and racist comments of his resurfaced.

In the meantime, the show called upon past “Jeopardy!” champion Ken Jennings and sitcom star Mayim Bialik (“The Big Bang Theory”) to rotate hosting duties. It was such a ratings success that they were offered contracts, and the rest is history.

***

Q:I read that former Bachelorette Emily had another baby. How many children does she have, and how old is her daughter, Ricki, now? — B.C.

A:Emily Maynard was chosen as the star of ABC’s “The Bachelorette” 10 years ago. She was a young mother who had lost her fiance, NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick, in a plane crash in 2004. She found love briefly with contestant Jef Holm, who proposed to her at the conclusion of the reality show, but it wasn’t meant to be.

After the show, she stayed under the radar, living a normal life in Charlotte, North Carolina, raising daughter Ricki, when she started dating a man she met at church named Tyler Johnson. They eventually married and had five more children, including a new baby boy named Jones, who was born in August of this year.

Ricki, the little girl Maynard was pregnant with when she tragically lost her fiance, is now 17 years old.

What’s all this “energy transition” about? Find out yourself with a free online U of A course
Twice last week, SaskEnergy set new daily natural gas usage records, and we can thank Alberta for most of our supply

CALGARY – There’s a new trend in education – free online courses for people who just want to learn something of interest. The University of Alberta is now offering such a massive open online course (MOOC) on the “energy transition.”

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.

And Pipeline Online editor Brian Zinchuk has just signed up. And so can you, at https://www.coursera. org/learn/21st-century-energy-transition.

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.

The course is free if you just want to audit it. It’s $66 if you want to take the tests and get a mark at the end.

“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.”

It’s being led by Brad Hayes, president of Calgary firm Petrel Robertson Consulting. That firm is currently working on lithium from oilfield brine projects. Hayes has a PhD in geology.

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.

Hayes said by email on Nov. 9, “I led the creation of the “21st Century Energy Transition – How do We Make it Work?” MOOC to bring out as much important information as possible on the future of energy, taking pains to be unbiased.

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

“Of course, there are a few of my LinkedIn non-fans who have a quick scan and decide it’s hopelessly biased in favour of fossil fuels, but that reflects their biases, not mine. We acknowledge the importance of the emissions issue right up front, but the entire thrust of the course is that we have to be driven by energy needs, not solely by emissions targets.”

He added, “I’d like to point out that there are a number probably

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.

about 10 guest lecturers that are subject matter experts in their fields. So it’s not just me, chatting away for 28 lessons. We’ve got people that are supply chain experts, electricity grid experts, policy experts who are contributing expert opinions, not just not just what I think.”

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.

Hayes is also working on a similar course regarding lithium development. It will be offered through a different outlet in the coming months. Watch for updates as Zinchuk progresses through the energy transition course.

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.

commodate additional capacity to manage increased consumption even on peak days,” SaskEnergy presi dent and CEO Ken From said in a release. “Through out the year, SaskEnergy employees inspect, maintain and enhance the system to support safe and reliable natural gas delivery in all weather conditions. In ad dition, employees monitor the system 24 hours a day to ensure sufficient system capacity to meet customer demand across the province.”

bouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.

years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially ex tinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domes tic 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 ex porter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.

“The Crown, Season 5” (TV-MA) — Following the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the fifth season of “The Crown” explores quite a tumultuous time for the English Royal Family: the years leading up to Princess Diana’s tragic death. The events of the 1990s are put on full display, as the critically acclaimed series concentrates on the tension building between the Queen, Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Elizabeth Debicki (“The Great Gatsby” and “Tenet”) takes on the role of the doe-eyed princess, and Imelda Staunton (“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”) is none other than the queen herself, who was portrayed in previous seasons by Olivia Colman and Claire Foy. This is surely one season you don’t want to miss. Out Nov. 9. (Netflix)

“Causeway” (R) — Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence stars in this new psychological drama now released on streaming after holding its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. Lawrence portrays a soldier named Lynsey, who suffered a brain injury while fighting overseas in Afghanistan and is now adjusting back to life in New Orleans. The film can be described as an introspective look at how to handle trauma, and Lawrence’s performance has received great praise so far. Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”) and Linda Edmond (“Death of a Salesman”) also make up the small cast of this emotive film. (AppleTV+)

“Transformers: EarthSpark” (NR) — “Transformers” fans can now enjoy a TV series packed with the

usual Autobot and Decepticon action, but this time, for the whole family. In the first season of this computer-animated TV series, a new type of Transformers is born, called the Terrans. These Terrans become bonded with two young kids, Robby and Mo Malto, who just moved from Philadelphia to the small town of Witwicky. The kids bring the bots home to their parents, who adopt them as family, while fan-favorite Bumblebee is assigned to train the bots, just in time, of course, for a fight against evil. All 26 episodes of the first season are out Nov. 11. (Paramount+)

“The English” (NR) — Set in 1890, Englishwoman Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt) arrives in the Western United States bloodthirsty for revenge after the death of her son. In her quest to find the man responsible, Cornelia doesn’t expect to meet Eli Whipp (Chaske Spencer), a member of the Pawnee Nation. As the two realize they have more in common than what meets the eye, Cornelia and Eli agree to join forces to find the culprit and exact their revenge. A Western drama series is an interesting change of pace for award-winning actress Emily Blunt, but with her previous work in gritty films like “A Quiet Place” and “Sicario,” she’ll most likely captivate audiences. Out on Nov. 11. (Prime Video)

Cranberry and Orange, the Delectable Holiday Duo

I jokingly call this time of year “pumpkin flavored everything time.” Yet, in the shadow of the squash is the equally endearing cranberry. While cranberry on its own is tart and berry-licious, if you want to make cranberry sing, pair it with orange. This jam is sweet, tart and unbelievably addictive. Besides giving a major upgrade to your turkey sandwich, you’ll love it with cream cheese and crackers as an appetizer. It’s also an excellent glaze for turkey, chicken, pork and salmon.

inexpensive.

Here’s the plan: We start by making the bread, and while it bakes, we make the jam. Then we enjoy the bread, still warm from the oven, slathered in flavorful jam. It’s the perfect way to spend an autumn afternoon in the kitchen, but you may want to enlist a friend, because this is sticky business.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SODA BREAD

Yield: 1 loaf

Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes

5 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold butter

1 3/4 cups buttermilk

1 large egg

1 tablespoon orange zest, freshly grated

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or non-stick spray. In a large bowl, mix 4 cups flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Use a cheese grater to grate the cold butter right into the flour mixture and stir to distribute. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, orange zest and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together. Add the dried cranberries and stir. The dough will be very sticky.

brown and the bread sounds hollow when you tap it. Let cool for 10 minutes before you devour it.

CRANBERRY ORANGE JAM

Yield: 2 cups

Total Time: 20 minutes

3 1/2 cups (12 ounces) fresh or frozen cranberries

Zest and juice from one orange 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

1/2 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

Pinch salt

1 1/2 tablespoons low or no sugar pectin

In a large saucepan, combine cranberries, orange zest and juice, vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Bring to a gentle boil for 10 minutes as the cranberry skins burst. Take a potato masher and smoosh it all together. Add the pectin and stir well to combine. Bring back to a boil for 3 minutes as the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool. This makes 2 cups of jam and fills two 8-ounce glass jars. Refrigerate and use within three weeks.

If you want to add a little zing, add either 1 tablespoon of minced candied ginger or one jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely minced. (Wear gloves!)

In addition to being a lovely foodie gift, this duo would be very happy on your next charcuterie board. Pair with brie cheese, blue cheese, nuts, sliced pears, honey butter, crackers, and chicken pate.

To take this over the top, serve it on fresh-from-the-oven cranberry orange bread. This nontraditional twist on Irish Soda Bread is crusty, buttery and bursting with holiday flavor.

The combo is outrageously delicious. It’s also easy, fun and quite

Place the dough onto a floured flat surface. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup flour over the dough and begin kneading, adding flour as you go until the dough is no longer sticky and you can knead it easily. Form dough into a round loaf and place on the baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut an “X” into the top. Bake for 45 - 55 minutes, until golden
