Congratulations to our FCHS football team as they won the provincial title this past weekend in Edmonton.

Our very own Bruce Campbell traveled to Edmonton to cover the game for our readers. Check out the Sports section for all the details. We blew them away…..

Our Stampeders are toast for the Grey Cup but we can cheer for the U of C Dinos as they play on Saturday for the Vanier Cup. Go Dinos! There are two Okotokians suiting up for the Dinos, Anthony Parker and Geoff Paiement so that is another reason to cheer for the Dinos.

Oh and by the way the winner of our draw for two Grey Cup tickets was Morgan MacDonell. John McLaren won the Saddledome concert tickets and Grant Sullivan won the passes to the Molson Canadian Quick Six Saloon.

Thanks to everyone who entered.

The Wheel has a new website under construction. Check it out at www.westernwheel.com

If a major news event happens in town you will find it on our site within a couple hours. Last week after the paper came out we covered a construction accident and then on Monday we had the story on the fellow who was electrocuted near Hilltop Shell up on the site shortly after the accident.

The site is still under construction so be patient all your favourites will be up soon.

Here is an oldie but worth seeing again….

A blonde heard that baths in milk would make her beautiful.

She left a note for her milkman to leave 25 gallons of milk.

When the milkman read the note, he felt there must be a mistake.

He thought she probably meant 2.5 gallons.

So he knocked on the door to clarify the point.

The blonde came to the door and the milkman said, “I found your note  asking me to leave 25 gallons of milk. Did you mean 2.5 gallons?”

The blonde said, “No, I want 25 gallons. I’m going to fill my bathtub up with milk and  take a milk bath so I can look young and beautiful again.”

The milkman asked,  “Do you want it pasteurized?”

The blonde said, “No, just up to my shoulders, I can splash it on my eyes.”
