(See inside front cover for details) I mmCranioSacral Therapy is now available CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch" approach that involves gently first assessing the tension in soft tissues surrounding the major components of your central nervous system - primarily the head, spine and pelvic areas. Then I use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those areas, beginning with a touch as light as the weight of a nickel. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, and create feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in areas being worked by the therapist. Chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back, and the related discomfort and life stress issues chronic pain causes, can be safely relieved. Think of this as a massage designed for your nervous system instead of muscle tissue. Please ask questions about CST! I welcome the opportunity to share the benefits of this therapy system with you. As a reminder, don’t forget that I'm now direct billing Alberta Blue Cross, AESBP, SunLife, Manulife, Great West Life, etc. Massages are available Fridays & Saturdays at Trends by T.C. Please feel free to contact me to book an appointment or to ask any questions.

It was a reminder that all of us have to bear responsibility for the residential school fall out. What was thought by the governments of the day to be a good idea has had horrifying results. The parents who had their children taken away from them and returned to them 12 years later as total strangers Children taken away from their parents to never know the love and affection that was their right not the abuse and pain that was given to them instead. Over 7 generations, this has had a cumulative effect and we can see the results as the aboriginal peoples struggle to reclaim their heritage, their treaty rights, their self respect. This is a poem received from the Cathedral In Quebec City telling of one man's feelings. My Little Residential School Suitcase The first time I left for residential school, my mother carefully prepared my little suitcase. She took care to put in it.everything I would need. My clothes, some toys I would never see again. I was six years old on this first trip. In my little suitcase, my mother had also put all the love she had, without forgetting the love from my father. There were also embraces, tenderness, respect, for me and for others, sharing, and many other qualities she had taught me. The trip lasted 12 years. When I returned home, my little suitcase was heavy. What my mother had put in it was gone; love embraces, all those beautiful things had disappeared. They had been replaced by hatred, self-rejection, abuses of all kinds (alcohol, drugs, sexual abuse) by violence, anger and suicidal thoughts. That is what I carried for a long time. But I've been cleaning out this suitcase. I put back everything my mother had put in it when I left the first time: love, respect for myself and others, and a great many other qualities. Oh yes.added sobriety and especially spirituality. My little suitcase is very light. It is full of good things I can share with everyone I meet along the way. Regardless of skin colour- white, red, black, yellow—we are all human beings, we are all God's creatures.

The program kicked off on the 7th of July with a total of seven children showing up for the first day! On Tuesday, the kids showed up for an hour and a half of reading, crafts, and games. The Chinook arch theme for this summer is "Play". Our goal is to encourage younger readers to pick up books and have fun while doing so. On the 7th the majority of the afternoon at the Library went towards reading books. Despite all of the other activities that were planned, each child was more and more enthusiastic to pick out another book to read. However, not only were the children enjoying the books, they were participating in reading aloud to everyone else, hardly letting me, the instructor, get a word in edgewise! After we finally managed to pry them away from their reading, the rest of the afternoon was spent playing the games and creating chalk art to welcome and encourage visitors in the library. The next week we were pleased to welcome the two young ladies that are in charge of running the whole Summer Reading program throughout the Chinook Arch System. Kayta Brown and Jillian <rokosch came down to our little town Library to host an Olympic themed session. From helping the kids to make flags for their own countries to designing their own Olympic games, the children had great fun. We thank Kayta and Jillian for such an exciting day. We encourage more kids to stop by and join us in our fun activities! We look forward to DINOSAUR DAY. With prizes, crafts, costumes, and games we plan on having a blast. It's a great summer for reading, so come on out and have fun. © -Adrienne Deitz Tuesdays from 1:30 - 3:00 PM At Milo Municipal LibraryThe best in Electronic Pet containment and behavioral products.

"We've got a cold front coming in from the North, scattered showers tonight, and a seventy-five percent chance of failing sky tomorrow." UNDERSTANDING ENGINEERS *1 Tw engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, 'Where did you get such a great bike?” The seoond engineer replied, "We#. I was walking along yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want" The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, "Good choice: the clolhes probably wouldn't have fit you anyway" *2 To the optimist the glass is half-full To the pessimist, the glass is half- empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be. -3 A pnest a doctor, and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer (timed. "Whaf s with those guys? We must have been waiting for fifteen minutes!" The doctor chimed in. "I don't know, but I've never seen such inept golfers!" The pnest said. "Here comes the greens-keeper Let's have a word with him" He said. "Hello George, What's wrong with that group ahead of us ? They're rather slow, aren't they?" ^ The greens-keeper replied, "Oh, yes Thafs a group of blind firemen They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year so we always let them play for nothing any time they want!" The group fell silent for a moment The pnest said, "Thafs so sad I think I wi say a special prayer for them tonight" The doctor said "Good idea. Tm going to contact my ophthalmologist colleacjje and see if here's anything she can do for them" The engineer said, "Why cant they just play at night?” s4 Normal people believe that if it ain't broke, dont fix it Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesnt have enough features yet *5 An engineer was crossing a road one day, when a frog called cut to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful pnncess." He bent over picked up the frog, and put it in his pocket The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn back into a beautiful princess and stay with you for one week" The engineer took the frog out of his pocket smiled at it and returned it to Ihe pocket The frog (hen cried out If you kiss me and turn me back into a pnncess. I'll stay with you for one week and do anything you want" Again the engineer took Ihe frog out smiled at it and put it back into his pocket Finally, the frog asked. "What is the matter? fve told you I’m a beautiful pnncess and that 11 stay with you for one week and do anything you want Why wont you kiss me?" The engineer said Look, I'm an engineer I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog - now thafs really cool." And finally. Two engineers were standing at the base of a flagpole, looking at its top A blonde walked by and asked what they were doing 'We're supposed to find the height of this flagpole,” said one, "butwe don't have a ladder ’ The woman took a wrench from her purse, loosened a couple of bolts, and laid the pole down on the ground Then she took a tape measure from her handbag, took a measurement and announced. "Twenty one feet, six inches ’ and walked away One engineer shook his head and laughed, 'Typical blonde1 We ask for the height and she gives us the length1” —— .
