nEver-changing traditions of wedding ceremoniesBy Hannah [email protected]; 810-433-6792 Imagine going to a wedding where the bride wears a green dress, has only spoken to the groom once or twice, and car-ries garlic in her bouquet to ward off evil. In the 1500s, these traditions were common during weddings. Nowadays, weddings are becoming less religious and less traditional compared to ceremonies hundreds of years ago. The younger you are, the less likely you are to believe in traditional wed-dings, a recent study by Harris Polls shows. Weddings hundreds of years ago with the Church of England, where Christianity developed most vows and

traditions, more symbolized a passing of virginal property from one man to the next. That was hundreds of years ago, though, and both religion and society have evolved.

TRI-COUNTY TIMES | SUBMITTED PHOTO

Fenton Township residents Jeff and Sha-ron Stone are shown here with their wed-ding party for their May 1984 wedding.

n Wedding ceremonies have changed, but the phrase “‘Til death do us part” is a phrase that has stood the test of time.

Meanings of

old traditionsHere comes the bride

This traditional wedding song, or Bridal Chorus, comes from Richard Wagner’s “Lohengrin” from the 1800s.

Vows

The oldest and most traditional wed-dings vows, “...for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer…” comes from the Book of Common Prayer published in 1549 by the Church of England.

Something old, something new

“Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” comes from an old Victorian rhyme that ends with “a silver sixpence in her shoe.”

Not seeing each other

The bride and groom not seeing each other before the wedding was more common with arranged marriages. It was meant to keep them separate in case one saw the other and wanted to back out of the wedding.

The bachelor party

These parties didn’t always have a risky theme. The bachelor party, or stag party, originated in Sparta when friends toasted a male friend about to be married.

The wedding party

Bridal parties dress similar to the bride and groomsmen dress similar to the groom not for uniformity, but so if some-one wants to kidnap the bride or groom, they’ll be confused as to who is who. It was meant to protect against evil.

“At my son’s wedding, a snowstorm was so bad that many of our guests couldn’t make it. Our pho-tographer had a truck with a blade on it so we could get to the reception.”

— Kay Hollar, Fenton

“The 4-year-old ring-bearing nephew at our daughter’s picture-perfect outdoor wedding decided to pee in the bushes, pulling his pants down and everything.”

— Nancy HanksHolly

“We recently went to our first cowboy-themed wedding, where the bride traded her tiara at the wedding for a cowboy hat at the reception.”

— Jennifer ParrishGaines

“The bridal couple passed around a pillow with their rings attached to it, asking for guests to pray over the rings before they exchanged them with each other.”

— Pam StrawserFenton

“We got married at the Linden Millpond. Our limo broke down on the way to the reception and we spent two hours at Muffler Man, taking pho-tos with old cars.”

— Brittanie Martin, Flint

“Our niece got married almost 20 years ago, and a family friend accidentally separated the tablecloth-covered tables holding the wedding cake. It went crash-ing down to the floor!”

GIFT GUIDETHE AWESOME DAD

ORIGINS OF FATHER’S DAYThe campaign to celebrate the nation’s fathers did not meet with the same enthu-siasm – perhaps because, as one florist explained, “fathers haven’t the same senti-mental appeal that mothers have.” A Spokane, Washington woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children raised by a widower, tried to establish an offi-cial equivalent to Mother’s Day for male parents. Washington State celebrated the nation’s first statewide Father’s Day on July 19, 1910. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged state governments to observe Father’s Day. However, many men continued to disdain the day. As one historian writes, they “scoffed at the holiday’s sentimental attempts to domesticate manliness with flowers and gift-giving, or they derided the proliferation of such holidays as a commercial gimmick to sell more products – often paid for by the father himself.”

TRADITIONSContinued from Page 1B

Bouquet

Brides used to carry garlic, herbs, and grains to ward off evil.

Veils & white wedding dress

Both were white to symbolize inno-cence and purity. Nowadays, veils are more for fashion and wedding dresses aren’t always white.

The ring finger

The ring finger is always the fourth finger on the left hand because the Romans believed the vein ran directly to the heart. It also can be religiously symbolic meaning God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

The bride’s garter

This comes from the idea that mar-riages and consummations needed to be witnessed to be validated.

The wedding cake

It was originally not eaten, but thrown at the bride as a good omen for fertility, along with wheat, grain and rice, which is why rice is sometimes thrown at the bride and groom after the ceremony. Source: brideandgroom.com

A special“Thank You”

For years, Power Vac, Inc. has been improving the community’s health one household at a time. “Did you know that half of all illnesses come directly from dirty indoor air? In fact, our indoor air is up to 90 times more polluted than the air outdoors,” explained Keith Meadows, Power Vac Owner and Opera-tor. “More than 90% of the phone calls I receive are from dis-traught people com-plaining about dust in their homes. They tell me they will dust the house Friday, but by Sunday it needs to be done again, and they’re not sure where these dust piles are com-ing from. Let me tell you, you’re not a bad housekeeper. All you need to do is have your ducts cleaned. This simple step will drastically reduce the dust in your household. The reason for the dust is your cold air returns. You see, cold air returns suck in dirty air. Over time it builds up in your ducts until the debris resembles what you would find in your vacuum bag.” See for yourself! For an actual photo of the debris that is pulled from a typi-cal home’s ducts, visit our website www.callpowervac.com. “Cold air returns are also the reason new ho-meowners experience excessive dust. While work was being done in the home, your cold air returns sucked all the dust through the system. It settled on the bottom of the duct lines and little by little, that debris is being blown back into your home,” Keith continued. “Here’s a test. Take a walk down into your basement, and look up at the ceiling for thin sheets of tin nailed between your floor joists. These are your cold air return lines. Give them a good pounding. Do you see puffs of dust seeping out of the edges? That, my friends, is the reason you have uncontrollable dust problems, and this debris cannot be removed without the help of a professional. “This brings me to my next point: choos-ing an air duct cleaning company. Most companies use portable units, which are essentially like a Shop-Vac that you would vacuum your car with. Then there are companies who claim they have a truck-

mounted system. In reality, they have a low powered portable system attached inside a van. We have the equipment powerful enough to get the job done right, and that equipment is a Power Vac truck.” Want to see the difference between our equipment and portable or truck-mounted

equipment? Visit our website at www.callpowervac.com “The Power Vac truck is the most powerful equipment in the industry,” Keith explained. “Simply put, the entire truck is the vacuum, and the truck motor pow-ers the equipment. You’ll know it’s a Power Vac truck because it’s the size of an ambulance and when engaged, 12

large air bags come out of the roof. “What makes the difference in equip-ment? Power! To put things into perspec-tive, your furnace moves 2,000 cubic feet of air per minute, which is what you feel coming out of your register. Truck-mounted equipment moves 4,000 CFMs. Well, Power Vac moves over 16,000 cubic feet of air per minute, which is four times the power of most competitors. “You need to beware of companies using cheap equipment and advertising cheap prices. Most of these companies are unlicensed, or they may advertise that they are licensed, but are not. Avoid scams by not falling for cheap, get-you-in-the-door prices. What sets us apart from our competi-tors is our honest service, and, of course, our equipment. I know the importance of being on time, working with a smile and respect-ing people’s homes and their belongings. There are a lot of duct cleaners around, but rest assured you’ll receive the same quality of service I expect in my home.” Power Vac is family owned and operated and we are here to help you by offering a ½ Off Summer Special. Cleans everything, one week only. Restrictions may apply. Call us today at 888-61-power/ 248-656-0600 or visit us online at www.callpowervac.com.

WEDDINGSContinued from Page 1B Centuries ago, when the bride wore a garter, the ceremony that coincided sym-bolized the need for the consummation to be witnessed. Nowadays, only 48 percent of people have sex on their wedding night, accord-ing to Huffington Post, the main reason being one of them (usually the groom) passes out because of consuming too much alcohol. Back then, people were more worried about warding off evil with garlic in the bouquet, not making sure

Harris Polls results• People over 65, called “matures,” are more likely to believe in the father “giving away” the bride (88 percent), than “millennials” (75 per-cent), according to a recent study by Harris Polls. However, millennials were more inclined to believe the bride should wear a white dress (56 percent) than matures (50 percent), and more millennials believed in buying an expensive engagement ring than matures (43 percent vs. 21 percent).

• The poll also found that, unsur-prisingly, matures believed more than millennials in “waiting” for the wedding night (63 percent vs. 47). Ceremonies have also veered away from the religious theme with 56 percent of matures believing wed-dings “should be held in a place of religious worship,” compared to 40 percent of millennials.

me live together. Early on in my ministry, about 30 percent lived together, now it’s nearly 100 percent.” The vows have been traditional, Jag-gers said, but brides will ask, “Do I have to add that thing about honoring and obeying him?”

they had “something blue.” Fenton resident Alycia Porter, 23, is marrying Josh Brown, 25, in Linden on September 19. They’ve been together eight years. For the ceremony, they’re sticking to a few old traditions. She’s taking his name, participating in “some-thing old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” and using vows from the Bible. She doesn’t care about “waiting” for the wedding night, even though both of them are Christians. “Obviously that’s against the ‘rules’ of Christianity, but we both love each other and it’s nice to be able to show it in a physical way rather than pent up frustra-tion due to waiting,” Porter said. Their wedding will feature the bou-quet and garter toss, and guests will blow bubbles instead of throw rice when they walk back down the aisle. For unity ceremonies, they might do the sand ceremony and pour a different color of sand into a glass container. Porter will walk down the aisle to a contemporary song of their choice. She does like the tradition of the father giving the bride away. “I think it makes the father feel more important in the whole event,” she said. She also doesn’t care for wearing a white dress to symbolize purity, and she won’t wear a traditional veil. “Any bride should wear white if they want to, regard-less of whether they’re a virgin,” she said. Jeff Jaggers, a pastor at Fenton United Methodist Church, has been a full-time clergy for 26 years. He hasn’t seen a whole lot of change, though. “When most couples come to me, they are typically looking for a traditional-

European styling elements give a neo-traditional ambiance to the elegant and spacious Charlottes-ville. Families that love to entertain will find much to appreciate, and it’s no stretch to imagine a glow-ing bride descending the foyer’s curved staircase on her special day. Raised stone trims the entry’s stone veneer columns, accenting its lofty arch. Keystones highlight the front windows, adding to the European look.

2014 Water Quality Report for the Village of Holly

This report covers the drinking water quality for the Village of Holly for the 2014 cal-endar year. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2014. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and state standards.

Your water comes from four (4) wells located on the West side of town. Wells are ap¬proximately 210 feet deep and are embedded into sand stone (Marshall Forma-tion). The State performed an assessment of our source water in 2003. The sus-ceptibility rating is on a seven-tiered scale from “very-low” to “very-high” based on geologic sensitivity, well construction, water chemistry and contamination sources. The susceptibility of our source is moderately high.

Several existing sources of contamination exist in the Holly Wellhead Protection area:Leaking Underground Storage Tank (LUST) sites are located at Adelphian Academy, 820 Academy Road; Village of Holly, 201 Elm Street; Holly Area Schools, 800 Elm Street; Fresh Air Society, 4236 Grange Hall Road; Holly Volunteer Ambulance, 504 Maple Street; Mobil Oil, 15241 North Holly Road; Muffler Man of Holly, 503 North Saginaw; Wilkinson’s Auto Repair, 402 North Saginaw; Mabel O. Barnes Trust, 1125 North Saginaw Street; Holly Gas Company Inc., 114 North Saginaw; Beacon & Bridge Market, 820 North Saginaw; and Larry Winklemann, 220 Elm Street. Four Part 201 sites of environmental contamination include Delta Tube and Fabrica-tion Corporation, 4149 Grange Hall Road; Carl Spencer, 422 North Saginaw Street; Larry Winklemann, 220 Elm Street; and E and S Trucking, 15391 Fish Lake Road.

Potential sources of contamination include Underground Storage Tank (UST) sites, Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) sites, and groundwater discharge permit sites. Abandoned wells provide a direct conduit for surface run-off and contaminants to easily reach the groundwater and may pose a potential problem. To ensure that these wells are not a potential threat, they should be searched and properly plugged.

We are making efforts to protect our sources by participating in the Wellhead Pro-tection Program.

If you would like to know more about the SWAP report please contact Brian Klaassen at 248-634-2202, or via email at [email protected].

• Contaminants and their presence in water: Drinking Water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Vulnerability of sub-populations: Some people may be more vulnerable to con-taminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune sys-tems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care pro-viders. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

• Sources of drinking water: The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. Our water comes from wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

• Contaminants that may be present in source water include:

* Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.

* Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic waste-water discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming.

* Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture and residential uses.

* Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

* Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum pro-duction, and can come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which provide the same protection for public health.

Water Quality DataThe table below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected during the 2014 calendar year. The presence of these contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. Unless otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 – December 31, 2014. The State allows us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. All of the data is representative of the water quality, but some are more than one year old.

Terms and abbreviations used below:• Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG): The level of a contaminant in drinking wa-

ter below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

• Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL): means the highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.• Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG): means the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.• N/A: Not applicable ND: not detectable at testing limit ppb: parts per billion or mi-crograms per liter ppm: parts per million or milligrams per liter pCi/l: picocuries per liter (a measure of radioactivity).• Action Level: The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treat-ment or other requirements that a water system must follow.

* While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low lev-els of arsenic. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

** Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking wa-ter standards. Monitoring helps EPA to determine where certain contaminants occur and whether it needs to regulate those contaminants.

*** Information about lead: If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Village of Holly is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flush-ing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

We will update this report annually and will keep you informed of any problems that may occur throughout the year as they happen. Copies of this report will be available at the Vil-lage Office at 300 East Street, Karl Richter Center, Holly, MI. Village office hours are 7:30 to 5:30 Monday thru Thursday. Department of Public Works 201 Elm St. Holly MI, 48442. DPW office hours are 6:00 to 4:30 Monday thru Thursday. This report will not be sent to you.

We invite public participation in decisions that affect drinking water quality. Village of Holly Council meeting are the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at the Holly Board of Education Meeting Room located at 920 E. Baird Street, Holly MI. 48442. For more information about your water, or the contents of this report, contact Brian Klaassen at 248-634-2202, or via email at [email protected].

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66-year-old woman who usually is too hot. When I tell my doctors, they just sort of laugh it off. It is making my life miserable because if I keep the heat or air conditioning where it is comfortable for me, it is too cold for others. I keep the temperature in my house at 64 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and winter. I know other members of my family do not tolerate being out in the sun when it’s hot, but they aren’t plagued with being too hot otherwise. I am about 40 pounds overweight, and have been for most of my life. The sensitivity has intensified as I’ve aged. I had a hysterectomy in my 30s, and I know some of my hormones were off. — J.R.

ANSWER: Heat intolerance is common and has several possible causes. The short list includes excess thyroid hormones, loss of estrogen and being overweight. The part of your story that bothers me is that this has been bothering you for

years and your doctors haven’t taken it seriously. Even if it isn’t a life-threatening condition, it’s been bothering you, and they should have at least tried to help. It’s time to have a frank discussion with your current or a new doctor and explain that you are concerned about this, that it’s affecting your life and comfort, and that you want to be taken seriously. I’m not saying your doctor needs to evaluate you for everything on the long list,

but he or she does need to listen, think and explain.

Son’s graduation being overlooked by family

BY AMY DICKINSON

AMY DICKINSON

ASKAmy

DEAR AMY: Our family has always supported the children in the family through their birthdays, graduations, fundraisers, etc. When my son graduated from college, four people in our extended family did NOT acknowledge his graduation. This caused hurt and of course I couldn’t understand why, because one of those families who ignored us has two children who will graduate. Therefore, we will be expected to acknowledge two of theirs when we only had one child, who got nothing. Help me to deal with this. It is very hard to get over. — Hurt

DEAR HURT:Many people dread these announcement

cards, which crowd the mailbox at this time of year. You see these announcements as a contract whereby the recipient must send an acknowledgment

and/or a gift to the graduate. But not everybody knows what to do about these cards. As the parent of a college graduate, you should have minimal involvement in sending these announcements — unless you are hosting a celebration for your graduate. You should also try harder not to keep score. Your own generosity comes from an expansive and loving place in your heart, but not everyone is like you. Other

people are overwhelmed or disorganized or simply aren’t as kind as you are. If your son expresses his hurt over this negligence, you should explain to him that life is not fair.
