BY JOAN JANZEN Many residents of Kindersley may need to be made aware of the art gallery on the first block of 1st Avenue East in Kindersley. Adams Gallery shares its accommodation with Gentle Touch Animal Care. The two businesses have a family connection; Leona Adams runs the art gallery, and her daughter Darlene Hyatt has her dog grooming business in the same building.

“My daughter Darlene needed a place to groom dogs,” Leona said.

“This place was available, and it couldn’t have worked out better. She has room for her business, and I have room to display my paintings.”

Leona’s paintings are displayed throughout three of the gallery’s rooms. “I haven’t got a clue how many paintings I have,” Leona said.

According to Leona, her gallery has been open for approximately six years. You will find this senior citizen walking to the gallery four days a week - winter, spring, summer and fall. “I paint four days a week, in the afternoons,” she said. But Leona gets a lot done in those few hours each day.

Upon entering the gallery, I took time to view Leona’s paintings. There were bright tiger lilies, prairie landscapes, old churches, pet portraits, antique farm equipment and wagons, and a couple of portraits of her grandchildren. Finally, I discovered Leona working in a quiet room in the back, surrounded by a huge amount of art supplies.

Leona explained that her interest in painting was a gradual occurrence.

“I’d pick up a few supplies and work on something. I didn’t paint as much back then and used to store my paintings under my bed,” she said.

She had been painting on her own for a long time when a university art

class became available at the community college. Although she was concerned she would be the oldest person in her class; she soon discovered many of her peers were also enrolled.

“Most of the people at the class were my age. I met other artists, and it was the best thing I ever did!” Leona exclaimed.

During her art classes, she learned about acrylics, pastels and some oils, but Leona said she prefers working with acrylics. “I paint landscapes, sometimes flowers; I’m very unpredictable,” she said. But one thing that is predictable is Leona only paints from the photos she takes herself.

“I’m not a photographer; I just do it.

I take the photos; I don’t use someone else’s.”

She was busy manually cropping a physical photo on her desk when I entered her work area. It’s an unfamiliar process to most people, who are accustomed to cropping their photos on their smartphones.

“You can paint on anything; it doesn’t have to be canvas,” she explained. “Canvas seems to absorb the paint more than wood. I do a lot of prairie landscapes; most people think the prairies are dull, but they’re not.

I do some abstracts; they sometimes turn out so good because you don’t know where you’re going.”

When I asked Leona what compels her to continue painting four afternoons each week, she replied, “It’s just like being hungry, and you want to eat; I don’t even give it a thought. I just do it because I enjoy it.” She also offered a bit of advice to her fellow seniors, saying, “You must have an interest; I don’t care what it is.”

Leona’s interest is her passionate love of painting prairie landscapes and anything else that captures her artistic eye.

Photo Caption: Patricia Heaton (“The Middle” and “Everybody Loves Raymond”)

Q:

Whatever happened to Patricia Heaton? She had two very successful sitcoms, but I haven’t seen her in anything since. Is she retiring from acting? — L.A. The talented Patrica Heaton has been blessed to star in not only one but two hit sitcoms in her life. She played exhausted wives on both “Everybody Loves Raymond” and “The Middle” for nine seasons each and then starred in “Carol’s Second Act,” but it was canceled after just one season.

Now she’s bouncing back with another sitcom, which is yet to be named, with veteran comedy writers Carol Leifer (“Seinfeld”) and Andy Gordon (“Modern Family”). According to Deadline. com, Heaton will play “the host of an upscale lifestyle show sent to prison for embezzlement and tax evasion. She gets out after two years, forgotten and broke, and moves to Tennessee to live with her estranged sister.”

The show will be filmed in Nashville, where Heaton has a residence, and will air on Fox. The only thing stopping it is the potential of a writers strike if negotiations with the Writers Guild of America come to a halt when their contract is up for renewal in May. While there aren’t as many network sitcoms as there used to be, the few that have premiered in recent years have generated quite a loyal audience. “Abbott Elementary,” “Ghosts” and “Night Court” all have already been renewed for another season before their current one has been completed. *** I remember when Chrishell Stause was a soap opera actress, but now she’s on a reality show. Is she ever going to act again?

— N.S. Chrishell Stause, who hails from Kentucky, made her acting debut on the ABC soap “All My Children” back in 2005. She went on to play Jordan on “Days of Our Lives” and Bethany on “The Young and the Restless,” the latter soap in which she starred with her husband at the time, Justin Hartley. She supplemented her acting revenue by getting her real estate license and joined the Oppenheim Group, selling mansions in

Hollywood and being featured on Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.”

Justin Hartley became a household name with the hit drama “This Is Us,” but he broke Stause’s heart when he left her for another former “Y&R” star, Sofia Pernas. Stause was chosen to compete on “Dancing With the Stars” and is five seasons into “Selling Sunset,” but she hasn’t given up acting — she recently starred in the Lifetime movie “A Rose for her Grave: The Randy Roth Story.” *** Is it true that “Titanic” is returning to theaters? Is it a remake? Who will play the leads?

— S.M. No remake is on the horizon, but the original “Titanic” has been remastered and made its way to theaters this February. James Cameron, director of the Oscar-nominated blockbuster “Avatar: The Way of Water,” has redelivered “Titanic” to the big screen for its 25th anniversary with stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The running time is 3 hours and 15 minutes, which was an anomaly back in 1997.

To Trade or Not To trade, That’s the Question

BY GREG BUCHANAN The 2023 NHL trade deadline came and went, but no matter where your team is in the standings, you’re probably wondering something. Is what they did or didn’t do helping or hurting the team?

Maybe you wanted your team’s GM to buy aggressively and look for that impact player that can put the team over the top. Maybe your team is near the bottom of the standings and needs to start looking ahead to next season and beyond.

Or maybe you simply do not trust your general manager and want him to sit back and do nothing. No matter the situation, you have a vision for your team.

But what if that vision goes all wrong? We are going to take a look at the potential nightmare scenario for every team at the deadline. That could be anything from your team not getting the player or addressing the position it needs, a rival improving its roster by stealing the player you want, or perhaps a trade already made that ends up going poorly. The Toronto Maple Leafs already made their big pre-deadline move by getting Ryan O’Reilly and Noel Acciari from the St. Louis Blues. In theory, it looks like a great deal for the Maple Leafs to get a center that has been one of the league’s best two-way players with a proven track record of playoff success for a championship team. Toronto desperately needs to find playoff success, and by adding somebody like O’Reilly that could be a significant addition.

But O’Reilly has had an extremely down year (by his standards) and is a pending unrestricted free agent after this season. The nightmare scenario here is that O’Reilly is simply cooked, and Toronto fizzles out in the first round again against the Tampa Bay Lightning. It would be hard to imagine GM Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe getting another chance if that happens.

The Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland, has mostly sat on his hands at the NHL trade deadline and not given Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl the additional help they need. He cannot be patient. He cannot sit back. He has the two best offensive players in the world in their prime and playing at an obscenely high level. If he does not make a big splash at the deadline to help secure a definite playoff spot that will give them a chance to win the Stanley Cup, he will have failed miserably.

He has to make a big move.

The Calgary Flames have been one of the league’s biggest disappointments this season and are now suddenly in danger of missing the playoffs. Is it a roster problem or a coach problem? The nightmare scenario here would be selling off players that are not the problem and sticking with a coach who is holding things back.

So now we wait as the stretch drive to the playoffs will determine what worked and what didn’t work.

Neurosurgeon Charlie Teo, 65, appeared before Australia’s Health Care Complaints Commission in February to defend himself against charges relating to a brain tumor surgery he performed on a woman, ABC News reported. “I took out too much. I took out the wrong bit of the frontal lobe,” Teo said. “I actually didn’t know at the time. I’m learning from this case.

It wasn’t negligence. Maybe some ignorance on my behalf.” The woman was left in a vegetative state and died several weeks later. Teo said one of the complainants against him had been “hoodwinked” and “coerced” into filing the charge by Teo’s “enemies.” “I did the wrong thing. Was that my intention? Absolutely not,” he said.

Government in Action

On Jan. 19 in Austin, Texas, Chris Newby was sleeping when “the whole house shook,” he said. “It sounds like a plane hit the house.” Instead, according to KXAN-TV, it was a car -- an impaired driver barreled through Newby’s spare bedroom wall. “The entire room was just crunched,” he said.

Ten days later, Newby received a letter from the city informing him that he was in violation of two codes: “One for having a hole in my house and one for having no window,” Newby said. The letter was dated the day of the crash and stipulated that he had 30 days to get repairs completed or face fines of up to $4,000 per day. “It felt tone-deaf to me,” he said. “I’m in violation for being a victim.” But Matthew Noriega, a division manager at the code department, said Newby has time: “If an extension is needed, we will give them that extension,” he clarified. Still, Newby said Austin “feels a little less like home every day.” Sad emoji.

Foods to Stockpile to Reduce Grocery Spending

Pasta sauce: The canned stuff still goes on sale for around a dollar. If you’re like me, you usually add stuff to it anyway — a little onion, garlic and sausage. You know. There’s your last-minute meal, ready and waiting.

Canned tomatoes: They come in lots of varieties, and store brands are terrific. Lycopene, the antioxidant found in tomatoes, is in its cell walls.

Cooking tomatoes releases lycopene to do its work, so canned is healthier than fresh. They keep for about a year.

Dried and canned beans: Dried are most economical and remain at best quality two years or longer.

Canned are ready immediately for quick meals.

Chubs and vacuum-packed ground meats freeze beautifully and take up minimum space.
