February 14, 2017SPRUCE GROVE RESIDENT WINS

$100,000 ON SCRATCH ‘N WIN

IS YELLOWHEAD RURAL CRIMEWATCH DEAD?

Submitted by Western Canada Lottery Corpora-tion

Brian Leonard was stunned when he realized he had won $100,000 his CROSSWORD SUPER BALL SCRATCH ‘N WIN ticket. Just a moment before, the Spruce Grove man had thought he won $10,000.

“I was at home when I scratched it,” he said. “I uncovered nine words, and I was really happy. And then, I noticed I had missed scratch-

ing out a word.”“After that, I was completely flab-

bergasted! $100,000!”The happy winner plans to use his

winnings to pay off a car he recently purchased and to invest some of the money for the future. He also plans to take his family on a vacation.

“I’ve always wanted to take a family trip to Ireland and Wales,” he said. “It’s been a dream of mine for some time, and now we can all go!”

Leonard purchased his winning CROSSWORD SUPER BALL tick-

et at the 7-Eleven located at 2 Spruce Ridge Drive in Spruce Grove.

Yellowhead Rural Crime Watch needs you! Without an elected ex-ecutive, Yellowhead Rural Crime Watch is DEAD! The decision is up to you!

The present Executive will not be staying for another term. Both Pres-ident and first Vice-President have held their positions for 10 years and the Treasurer for 4 years. They will work with a new executive to help with the transition, if a new execu-tive is elected at the AGM. We have many members, but only a few are active. We hold meetings every two months and the computer fanouts are

controlled remotely. We sponsor a poster contest every year. The Exec-utive positions seem to scare people away, but they really are not that time consuming.

The Annual Potluck Supper and Annual General Meeting will be held in the Entwistle Seniors Center on February 25, with a potluck supper at 6 p.m and meeting to follow. If we do not get a new executive, Yellowhead Rural Crimewatch will be dissolved, as laid out in our by-laws. Will the AGM be a service of remembrance or rebirth? Only you as members can keep this group alive! We are 34 years old and may be one of the old-est Crime Watch groups still active. There have been other groups that

have dissolved and then have started up again a few years later.

Back in December of 1982 our name was The Yellowhead Range Patrol Association.

Crime is still out there, area resi-dents had, and still have a distinct advantage over the RCMP because they know their neighbours, the type of vehicles and the activities that are normal in their area. Simply reporting strange activities to the RCMP gives the RCMP a head start on catching the bad guys. By work-ing together in this manner the fight against crime is more effective.

This is your last chance to keep Yellowhead Rural Crimewatch alive!

GET OUT OF THE DOGHOUSESubmitted by Shayna

Powell, Museum and Farm-ers’ Market Manager

January flew by and we are well into February which means…Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. “I’m stressing already,” my husband whined when he spotted the garish dis-play in Walmart. It was early January.

“Why would you be stressed? Just stop by the gas station on the 14th and pick something up. Isn’t that what you usually do?” I groused.

‘Valentine’s Day is for lovers’, they say. “Bunk!” I say. Valen-tine’s Day is for people who love to plan ahead and for the rest of us it is just a bone of contention. Those of us that are procrastina-tors or heaven forbid the dreaded

single, are reminded once again how we don’t quite measure up. Flower sales sky rocket, candy and Valentine cards fly off the shelves and Facebook is jammed with posts of ‘Thank you, hon-ey, sweetheart, baby, blah, blah, blah!’ Pictures of fat laden choc-olates and bountiful bouquets of flowers with the sickly, sweet praise from the beloved receiver to the giver are broadcast across the globe via the internet. Yuck! That is why we at Tipple Park Museum are not having an event on Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day is the day to party in our eyes. Come celebrate with us on March 17th, enjoy a beautiful gourmet dinner complete with wine and dessert. Listen to some live folk music and have a great time for only $35.00 a plate. If you forgot to do something spe-cial for someone on Valentine’s Day and are still in the dog-house, this is for you.

Get Out of the DoghouseContinued From Page 2

Renew the woo, take out your best friend, rekindle bonds with your relatives, or celebrate being single! Everyone has a little Irish in them on St. Patrick’s Day, it is time to get back to your Irish roots and celebrate with us. Call 780-727-2240 for reservations or inquiries.

We would like to express our appreciation to all of our vol-unteers who could not come out on Volunteer Appreciation Night. Tipple Park Museum had a record amount of volunteers this year. We held a celebration on February 1st, complete with wine and song in honor of our volunteers. A special honorable mention goes out to Peter and Barbara Daum for their out-standing entertainment. Thank you to you all who attended. Irene and Bill Lawton, Kathy and John Rosadiuk, Kim Cur-rington, Eric Karlzen and Liz Lauer have put in immeasurable

amount of time this past year into making our museum an out-standing resource for our com-munity, our gratitude cannot be expressed enough.

Visit the museum on Fami-ly Day, February 20th to enjoy some Sloosh skiing, bird house

and feeder building and have some free hot chocolate! Please check the community calendar and the big neon sign, by the bakery, for all of our latest news and events. Just a reminder the building is available for rent-al purposes and we are taking

Famer’s Market vendor appli-cations for the 2017 season now. The museum is free to visit from Wednesday- Saturday. Look for us at tippleparkmuseum.com or [email protected]

WEDDING GOOD LUCK CHARMS Couples’ wedding days are spe-

cial moments, ones they hope pave the way to a life filled with happiness and good fortune. That’s why the bride and groom surround themselves with close friends and family who want to celebrate and support their new life joined together.

Perhaps due to superstition or tradition, many couples employ some wedding day strategies to increase their good luck. The fol-lowing are some of the symbols that couples may want to keep an eye out for on the day they walk down the aisle.

· It’s good luck for the bride to see a dove on the way to the wedding because doves symbol-ize peace and prosperity. Because doves mate for life, this symbol is doubly beneficial on a couple’s wedding day, as it can be a har-binger of a long, happy marriage and home.

· Some brides believe sugar cubes tucked into their wedding gloves leads to a sweet union.

· Hindu tradition states that rain on a wedding day is good luck. Rain is believed to be a symbol of fortune and abundance, especial-ly after times of drought. What’s more, rain can foretell a strong marriage. That’s because a wet knot is more difficult to untie.

· Ancient Romans were so con-cerned with ensuring good luck that they actually studied pig entrails to determine the luckiest time to marry. If they consulted with the English, they might de-termine that a wedding shouldn’t take place on a Saturday, which is unlucky. English tradition states Wednesday is the best day to get married.

· In Holland, well-wishers would plant pine trees outside of newlyweds’ homes as a symbol of fertility and luck.

· Grooms may want to give a coin to the first person they see on

the way to their weddings. This is another symbol of good luck.

· Some couples plan to marry during a full moon, because that can symbolize good luck and good fortune.

· On a couple’s wedding day, tears from a bride or a child during the ceremony is consid-

ered lucky. English folklore sug-gests that brides who discover spiders in their gowns are in for some good luck.

· The Chinese believe that light-ing fireworks at their wedding ceremonies chases away evil spirits. A red umbrella also might be held over a Chinese bride to

keep bad spirits at bay.· Many grooms do not see their

brides in their wedding gowns before their wedding ceremonies, feeling it is bad luck if they do. Many brides also do not wear their complete wedding outfits prior to their big day.

UNDERGARMENTS CAN MAKEOR BREAK WEDDING LOOKS

As guests’ eyes are trained on cou-ples come their wedding days, it is no surprise that both the bride and groom want to look flawless on their big days. Men and women will spend thousands of dollars on clothing, hairstyling, makeup, teeth whitening, fitness classes, and more to ensure they look their best. While couples may be particularly concerned with their wedding day appearance, what they wear under their clothing - par-ticularly for women - can impact how clothes fit and look.

Choosing the right bra or support-ive undergarments can play a crucial role in how a gown fits and wheth-er or not brides achieve that pic-ture-perfect look. Wearing the wrong undergarments can negatively affect a bride’s appearance and make her extremely uncomfortable. Accord-ing to a study done by Swiss lingerie

company Triumph, a large number of women are choosing their bras incorrectly. The international survey of 10,000 women found that 64 per-cent of them are wearing the wrong size bras. If women are wearing the wrong undergarments for everyday looks, it stands to reason that their wedding choices may not be spot on, either.

Undergarments should be pur-chased and brought to all fittings as soon as a gown is selected. In fact, it often is a good idea to ask the brid-al store employees to suggest a bra or corset that will complement the gown and remain invisible beneath the dress. Some shops will make bras available when trying on gowns. Brides are not obligated to purchase undergarments where they purchase their gowns, but take note of the brand and style and find a similar one

elsewhere that fits with your budget if you don’t want to buy at the store.

Pay attention to the gown’s fabric and how dense it is. Certain shape-wear, including bras, that have a lot of boning in them to shape and support the body can show under bridal dresses without a lot of lay-ers. Always try on the bra with the gown to gauge the finished look. You may opt for simpler and plain lingerie styles so that you will be guaranteed a seamless appearance. Nude-colored bras tend to be less noticeable than white. You always can purchase something with more pizazz to change into for the wedding night. Some dresses with plunging necklines or backless designs may necessitate other options. Sew-in bra cups are another option that can lend invisible support.

Women with more ample busts

may want to select gowns that will allow for bras with supportive straps to be worn. This way there is no wor-ry about strapless bras or other style lingerie slipping down.

In addition to bras, other types of shapewear can enhance certain areas of the body or downplay perceived flaws. Shapewear can smooth and pull in stomachs. Choose boy shorts or thong-style cuts for a seamless fin-ish. Shapers can smooth out bulges on the back, legs and hips, too. There also are special shorts that have some padding in the rear to create a more curvy look.

Bras and other shapewear can make a world of difference in how wedding attire looks and feels. Invest in some quality pieces that will highlight wardrobes to their fullest.

CLEVER TAKES ON THE ‘SOMETHING OLD, NEW, BORROWED, BLUE’ TRADITION

Wedding day tokens of good luck come in many forms, but “the some-thing old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (a six-pence in your shoe)” adage remains one of the most popular luck-enhanc-ing wedding traditions. According to the bridal resource The Knot, this tradition stems from an Olde English rhyme. Something old represents continuity; something new is for optimism for the future; something borrowed stands for borrowed happi-ness; and something blue is for puri-ty, love and fidelity. The sixpence in your shoe is a wish for good fortune and prosperity, but this is not a tra-dition widely celebrated outside of the United Kingdom or British ter-ritories.

These traditions can add some cre-ative flair and personality to wedding ceremonies. There’s no end to the in-ventive combinations of items brides can carry to increase their good for-tunes.

Something oldSomething old is one of the easier

mementos to obtain. There is a good chance that someone in the family is willing to pass an item down to the bride that she can include in her wedding wardrobe. It also can be something the bride may have in her own memory box. Beads taken from a grandmother’s dress or a swatch of fabric from a beloved toy doll are creative ideas that can be sewn into inconspicuous places on gowns.

Something newBrides already purchase many new

items for their wedding day looks, so “something new” should not be too hard to find. Couples may want to work together to find something new they can both carry so they have a matching set upon tying the knot. Interlocking charm bracelets or key-chains may work. What about the groom carrying a small padlock and the bride the key? Quirky couples can each wear one sock from a pair. Get clever and have fun.

Something borrowedMuch like something old, some-

thing borrowed is yet another way to pay homage to a friend or family member. It’s also one way to add a sentimental twist to everyday items.

Borrow a grandfather’s handkerchief to wrap around the stems of the wed-ding bouquet. Exchange vows with the original rings used by a distant relative at their own wedding. Flatter a close friend by wearing the same veil she did.

Something blue

There are many ways to incorporate “something blue” into your wedding ceremony. Brides can paint their toe-nails blue or wear blue shoes under their gowns. Sew a patch from a pair of denim jeans into the bodice of the dress. Paint the bottom of your shoes bright blue so they stand out when

kneeling at the altar. Blue sapphire or topaz jewelry can add an exotic look to the wedding wardrobe.

With a little ingenuity, brides can easily incorporate “something old, something new, something bor-rowed, something blue” into their wedding ceremonies.

MP JIM EGLINSKI PARTICIPATES IN THE TAKE-NOTE DEBATE ON JOB LOSSES IN

THE ENERGY SECTOR

Parliament Update

Submitted by Jim Eglins-ki, MP – Yellowhead

OTTAWA: On February 8th, Jim Eglinski, Member of Par-liament for Yellowhead, partici-pated in the take-note debate on ‘Job Losses in the Energy Sec-tor’. During debate MP Eglinski asked the Leader of the NDP, the

Hon. Thomas Mulcair, the fol-lowing:

“Mr. Chair, my riding of Yel-lowhead has not been affected as much as a lot of parts of Alber-ta, but some of the communities in my riding have. Two-thirds of the community of Grande Cache, a community of 4,500 people, have been without jobs for over two years. The commu-

nities of Hinton and Edson have been taking in residents from Grande Cache, assisting them in trying to find jobs. In fact, one chap worked for me for a cou-ple of weeks until he could find some work. Yet the provincial government has not assisted them. Nor has the federal gov-ernment.

Could the hon. member tell us

where he sees roles for provin-cial and federal governments in these communities that are being devastated?”

The Hon. Mulcair’s response can be found on page 49 at:

http://www.parl.gc.ca/content/hoc/House/421/Debates/136/HAN136-E.PDF

• Conservative Motion – Taxes on Health and Dental Care Plans

• Bill C-305 – An Act to amend the Criminal Code (mischief) (Second Reading)

• Bill C-309 – An Act to estab-lish Gender Equality Week (Sec-ond Reading)

On Monday, I had the oppor-tunity to make a statement in the House of Commons, encour-aging my colleagues to support Bill S-217 (Wynn’s Law). I also made a statement on Fri-day congratulating Thorsby on achieving “Town” status, and wishing Drayton Valley a happy 60th birthday! You can read my comments on the corresponding day’s Hansard at: http://www.parl.gc.ca/HouseChamberBusi-ness/ChamberHome.aspx

On Tuesday night, an emer-gency debate was held concern-ing President Trump’s executive order to impose a temporary travel ban on refugees and na-tionals of seven Muslim-major-ity countries. I encourage you to visit my Facebook page to hear a powerful speech made during the debate by our Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Critic, the Honourable Michelle Rem-pel (www.facebook.com/jimeg-linski.mp ).
