Time To Get Creative With Winter “Art� Ste. Anne is getting ready for the annual snow sculpture contest. Residents were and are busy carving horizontal snow blocks this past weekend to be ready to be judged by the Cultural Committee on February 8. So throw on the scarf and take time out to wander the community to take in all the best of winter art. The Town of Ste. Anne have decided to only offer the horizontal snow blocks this year due to the safety hazards the vertical blocks could create.

Did you know? Valentine candy “conversation hearts” have a shelf life of five years. Nearly 10 new candy “conversation heart” sayings are introduced each year. Recent additions have included “Yeah Right,” “Puppy Love,” and “Call Home.” Started by a group of feminists, “Quirkyalone Day” is celebrated on February 14 as an alternative to Valentine’s Day. It is geared toward people who “resist the tyranny of coupledom.” Another alternate Valentine’s Day celebration is SAD (Single Awareness Day), which reminds people that they don’t need to be in a relationship to celebrate life Famous people born on Valentine’s Day include John Barrymore (1882), Jimmy Hoffa (1913), Jack Benny (1894), Carl Bernstein (1944), Renée Fleming (1959), and Florence Henderson (1934). Teachers receive the most Valentine’s cards, followed by children, mothers, and wives. Children between the ages of 6-10 exchange more than 650 million Valentine cards a year. On Valentine’s Day, many people buy flowers. Different colored roses have different meanings. Red means love, yellow means friendship, and pink means friendship or sweetheart. Red carnations mean admiration, white carnations mean pure love, red chrysanthemums mean love, forget-me-nots mean true love, primrose means young love, and larkspur means an open heart.
