Hey there, time traveller!

GRANDE PRAIRIE, Alta. — Jennifer Jones not only grabbed the prestige, she snagged all the loot to go with it.
Jones, the two-time Canadian curling champion, defeated Shannon Kleibrink 9-7 Saturday afternoon in the Grey Power Players’ Championship at the Crystal Centre.
The victory, coupled with her morning 8-4 semifinal win over Cheryl Bernard that clinched the Capital One Cup, earned the Winnipeg skip a whopping $75,000 payday.
Oh yeah, it was also her third Players’ Championship title in four years.
"It definitely is a big payday. Absolutely, definitely the most (made in one day)," said a smiling Jones, who actually fell behind 2-0 to Kleibrink before scoring one in the second end, then stealing two in the third and one more in the fourth.
"The steals were big early, but we gave them a cheap three in five and they were right back in it. It was big to get the two in six, that was the turning point," Jones said.
