Pam Lyons of Kindersley recently won a well-deserved Zone C Kinette of the Year award for 2021-2022. Her fellow Kinsmen and Kinettes describe her participation in the club, as jumping in with both feet.

Pam was one of the club’s founding members, never missing an opportunity to become involved. She is currently the Deputy Governor for Zone C, and loves meeting fellow Kinsmen and Kinette members throughout Saskatchewan.

This year has been filled with many firsts for Pam, including her first year on the District team, first Districts and Governor’s Ball, and her first in person Telemiracle. It was there, in Regina, that she was able to announce that Kindersley Kinettes had raised over $15,000 for Telemiracle!

On social media, Pam said she’s learned a great deal, met some fabulous people, and continues to be pulled out of her comfort zone.

Congratulations, Pam, on your well deserved award.

* On July 16, 1935, the world’s first parking meter, known as Park-O-Meter No. 1, is installed in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Indignant opponents of the meters considered paying for parking un-American, as it forced drivers to pay what amounted to a tax on their cars without due process of law. * On July 12, 1957, Dwight D. Eisenhower becomes the first president to ride in the newest advance in aviation technology: the HMX-1 Nighthawk helicopter, administered jointly by the Army and the Marine Corps. * On July 13, 1960, Senator John F.

Camp Mail Call A yellowed 4-cent postcard surfaced from the bottom of an old shoebox stashed in our attic. A classic in time, it was sent before ZIP codes and eons before cellphones and snappy e-mail.

The relic wasn't written by some great-grandparent, but by my "boomer" husband to his parents when he was off to camp for the first time at Round Lake in northern Minnesota at the age of 10.

I'm sure his parents were waiting patiently for news of the week. Was he healthy, happy, making new friends, missing his parents — but not too much? — all those concerns we have when our kids are away from home for the first time.

Well, here's what he wrote: "Dear Mom and Dad, I wasn't going to write, but they made me write it or I couldn't eat dinner.

Camp is really fun. We won volleyball and water polo today and now tied for second place. Well, now that I got this written, I can go eat.

Love, Dean" While we like to receive any word from our kids while they're away at sleepover camp, it's the campers who also like to hear their name at "mail call." Here are some tips: — Write and send a note or two to your child's camp via U.S. mail a few

days before he leaves home. Your child will be thrilled to hear from you the first day of camp. Keep the letters coming. They'll no doubt end up in a scrapbook (or shoebox) your child will treasure in years to come.

— If your child is a baseball fan, remember to send clippings of box scores of games missed while away, or send a favorite comic strip from the paper.

— Tuck in addressed envelopes, stamps and a pen to encourage your child to write home.

— If your child's camp will print out your e-mailed letters, try not to overload the system. There is a fine line between keeping in touch and letting your child feel independent and "away" from his typical "at home" routine.

Summer camp is just around the corner.

TIP: A camp experience in the outdoors can positively impact a child.

Consider sending a kid to camp by providing scholarship funds for someone who might not otherwise have resources. Contact a camp of your choice or your local YMCA directly to find out how you can sponsor a camper. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

ness, generation size, fuel type and expected cost of electricity. The selection follows an independent and comprehensive assessment process that also included close collaboration with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and a review by Calian, an independent engineering firm with extensive experience in Canada’s nuclear industry.

“GEH has been selected by Ontario Power Generation (OPG) as the technology partner for the Darlington New Nuclear Project. GEH will work with OPG to deploy a BWRX300 at the Darlington site that could be complete as early as 2028,” GE notes on its website.

“We are excited that SaskPower has chosen our technology as it looks to SMRs for the generation of carbon-free electricity,” said Jay Wileman, president and CEO, GEH, in a release. “We believe the BWRX-300 is an ideal solution for SaskPower and customers that want to make an impact on climate change and energy security in a meaningful timeframe.

in the nuclear energy field that has the potential to benefit SaskPower and Saskatchewan for many decades to come,” said interim president and CEO at SaskPower, Troy King.

“We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions while providing safe, reliable, and sustainable power for our customers, and GE-Hitachi’s SMR technology could play a powerful role in this future.”

Saskatchewan is currently considering the construction of four small modular reactors in this province, each 300 megawatts in power capacity. The total would almost, but not quite, replace existing coal-fired power generation capacity, if all coal is to be retired. (Boundary Dam Power Station now is rated for 531 megawatts, Shand is 276 and Poplar River is 582 megawatts, for a total of 1,389 megawatts) However, the bulk of that coal retirement is scheduled to take place several years before any nuclear plants are planned to go online.

He took time from making films while he considered running for governor of Texas, but after careful consideration, he reconsidered. *** If you’re old enough to remember “The Munsters” TV series, which ran from 1964-66, it probably just brought a smile to your face.

Rob Zombie, who wrote and directed “House of 1000 Corpses” (2003) and two highly profitable “Halloween” sequels in 2007 and 2009 (both starring Malcolm McDowell of “A Clockwork Orange” fame), has written and is directing “The Munsters,” with Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman, Sheri Moon Zombie (his wife) as Lili, and Daniel Roebuck as Grandpa.

FOR ALL YOUR PLUMBING NEEDS!

HOLLYWOOD — “Joker” opened in October 2019, grossed $1.7 billion, received 11 Oscar nominations, won two, including best actor for Joaquin Phoenix, and then silence. Usually when a film is a runaway hit like, say, “Top Gun: Maverick,” sequel talk starts immediately, but there was no sequel talk for “Joker” ... until now!

Director Todd Phillips has written (with Scott Silver) and will direct the sequel, “Joker: Folie a Deux” (a French medical term for a rare mental disorder in which two people share the same delusion). Even though we haven’t heard much from Phoenix, he’s been busy completing “Disappointment Blvd.,” with Parker Posey, Nathan Lane and Patti LuPone, and then immersed himself in creating his “Napoleon,” as directed by Ridley Scott for Apple TV+.

Among actors who’ve portrayed Napoleon are Marlon Brando (“Desiree,” 1954), Rod Steiger (“Waterloo,” 1970), Ian Holm (“The Emperor’s New Clothes,” 2001) and Christian Clavier (“Napoleon,” 2002). Joaquin has some mighty big shoes to fill. *** Speaking of “Top Gun: Maverick,” there is a big legal dogfight brewing between Paramount Pictures and the Israeli-based widow and son of Ehud Yonay, the man who wrote the original article in California Magazine in 1983 that “Top Gun” was based on. Paramount says the copyright expired after 35 years and it didn’t need to be renewed.

It plans to “vigorously fight” because the Yonays believe their copyright was still in effect and want big bucks. *** Hats off to Matthew McConaughey for standing up in front of the whole world “As a father, gun owner and a Texan from Uvalde.” McConaughey, who now lives in Austin, called for all Americans to “step up for change in gun responsibility, including enacting
