Planters get a make-over

By Joan Janzen The Town of Kindersley purchased flowers and greenery from Puddles in my Garden, to replenish the planters along Main Street. Volunteers were hard at work on Wednesday morning, May 24th working their magic, transforming barren planters into floral artistry. And a timely rainfall supplied the first watering.

Thanks to everyone who helped. The bright floral arrangements are a welcome sight after a very long winter.

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.

One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Alex standing in the foyer of the church staring up at a large plaque.

It was covered with names and small American flags mounted on either side of it.

The six-year-old had been staring at the plaque for some time, so the pastor walked up; stood beside the little boy; and said quietly, “Good morning Alex.”

“Good morning, Pastor.” He replied, still focussed on the plaque. “Pastor, what is this?”

The pastor replied, “Well, son, it’s a memorial to all the young men and women who died in the service.”

Soberly, they just stood together, staring at the large plaque.

Finally, little Alex’s voice, barely audible and trembling with fear asked, “Which service, the 8:00 or the 10:30?”

Two friars are having trouble paying off the belfry, so they open a florist shop.

Everyone wants to buy flowers from the men of God so business is quickly booming.

The florist across town sees a huge drop in sales and asks the two friars to close their shop, but they refuse.

A month later the florist begs the friars to close because he’s having trouble feeding his family.

Again, they refuse, so the florist hires Hugh McTaggert.

Hugh is the roughest, toughest thug in town and is hired to “persuade” the friars to close. Hugh asks the friars to close their florist shop.

When they refuse, he threatens to beat the crap out of them and wreck their shop every day they remain open, so they close.

This proves once again that Hugh and only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Spring is here!

And we’re so ready!

Three brothers in Ireland used to frequent a local pub.

Then one moved to America and another to Australia. The lone brother left still went to the pub, but now he ordered three beers, taking a sip from each in turn. The patrons watched him go through this ritual for some time before one of them asked why. “One’s for my brother in America, one for my brother in Australia and one for me,” he replied.

After this explanation, the fellow didn’t show up at the pub for a month. Then he appeared again and ordered two beers. He drank from one, then the other. One of the patrons went over and extended his condolences for the man’s bereavement.

“What bereavement?” the chap asked.

“Well, the loss of one of your brothers,” the patron said.

“My brothers are alive,” the fellow corrected. He held up one glass. “This is for my brother in America.” He held up the other.

“This is for my brother in Australia. And I quit drinking.”

Not a moment too soon, Oscar Mayer announced on May 17 that it is changing the name of its iconic Wienermobile to the Frankmobile, CNN reported.

The company says the name change “pays homage” to its new recipe for hot dogs, which will roll out this summer. Uh-huh. A company spokesperson said the change is a test; they’ll have “to see if it cuts the mustard” with fans. The Wienermobile first appeared in 1936; 23 of the eye-catching vehicles now travel around the country.

A tourist identified as Mr. Zhang checked into a hotel in Lhasa, Tibet, on April 20, only to discover a foul smell in his room, CNN reported. He stuck it out for half a day, thinking it might be his own feet or the restaurant downstairs, but finally he asked to be moved. Two days later, he was informed about the source of the bad odor: a dead body under the bed. Police officers questioned Mr. Zhang but said he was not a suspect because the body had been there before he checked in. He cooperated with police and then took his leave of Tibet, saying he was suffering from the shock of the incident. “I stay up until 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. every morning, and the slightest movement would wake me up,” he said. “It left me in a bad mental state.” So yes, Billy, there really IS something scary under the bed.
