Everything we have has been given to us freely. The Scriptures tell us, time and time again, that the key is thanksgiving. “O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever." Saint Paul urges us, “Give thanks to God the Father at all times, and for everything - in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Giving thanks is not always easy: we have to practice. The best time to practice thanksgiving is as soon as we wake up. When the alarm goes off on Monday morning, instead of groaning and allowing waves of anxiety or weariness to wash over you as you think of all the things you have to do that day, at once say, “Thank you God for the gift of a new day.” And then maybe think of at least five things to be thankful for: your health, your family, a roof over head. Name them and say, “Thank you, God.” And before you know it, something has changed inside. God loves to be thanked. When we give thanks, God changes us; he softens our hearts, and we become more generous towards others and towards ourselves. We are converted through thanksgiving. This Thanksgiving Day we may feel helpless, and caught up in world events over which we have little control - a recession that robs Canadians of the opportunities to work, a global slowdown in the oil industry, continuing violence in the Middle East, and the refugee crisis, unprecedented since the end of the World War. What we need to concentrate on instead, and because of those issues, is giving our thanks to God for the blessings and mercies that are showered on us in Canada, in Alberta, in Vulcan County. Be thankful to God and never be afraid to show that thanksgiving in some concrete way. Below is a table grace - perhaps you can use it at your Thanksgiving Day dinner: Lord God, for the blessings of food and fellowship we are about to receive, make us truly thankful. Open our hearts so that in the midst of plenty, we are aware of those who hunger, and in the midst of friends, we remember those who are friendless. Give us a hunger to do your will, and an appetite to see your kingdom, here and in the world to come. We ask all this in Jesus' name. Amen.

It is here that the lives of two women, with two mysteries, will converge. Undermajor- domo Minor by Patrick deWitt From the best­selling, Man Booker-shortlisted author of The Sisters Brothers, comes a brilliant and bois­terous novel that reimagi­nes the folk tale. In this riveting, poignant mem­oir of three generations of women and the white dresses that adorned them, television producer Mary Pflum Peter­son recounts a journey through loss and redemption, and her battle to rescue her mother, a former nun, from compulsive hoarding. Mitch Albom creates his most unforgetta­ble fictional character— Frankie Presto, the greatest gui­tarist to ever walk the earth—in this magi­cal novel about the bands we join in life and the power of talent to change our lives.

In total we had 80 participants, 8 workers and over $12,000.00 (so far) raised for cancer research. The success of this annual event is entirely due to the generosity of the Milo area, not only in pledging money, but with every other aspect of the event itself. As with any other community event, a lot takes place from the planning and set-up through to clean-up. I am always amazed that you are so generous. A huge thank you to the following: Tracy Mozill for helping with the set-up, Gary and Mona Middlestead for the loan of their golf cart, The Milo Lions Club cooks - AllanBartsch, David Deitz, Ted Lee, Lome Mozill, Barry Monner - and president Keith Detiz for being a good sport and doing the run (walk) after the Lions members matched the Club's donation of $500.00, for a total of over $1,000.00, Linda Booth for manning the registration booth, Leanne Bertschy for manning the water station, Colleen Bartsch for her help with the Terry Fox wall and the clean-up, all the staff and students of the school, and community members who participated or pledged. For donating to the lunch, a huge thank you goes out to: The Elevator (Lloyd Deitz) for the buns and burgers, Richardson Pioneer- Vulcan (Mike Hingley) for the juice boxes, the Milo Lions for the Ice Cream dixie cups, the School for the condiments.

Please make sure you get your pledge money into Tammy at the school or Joanne at the Library before the end of October. Thanks again and we'll see you next year! Joanne Monner Terry Fox Run CoordinatorJOKING AROUND Two doctors, a psychiatrist and a proctologist, opened an office in a small town.and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones: Hysterias and Posteriors." The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to read, "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council, they changed the sign to "Catatonics and High Colonics." No go. Next, they tried "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Thumbs down again. Then came "Minds and Behinds." Still no good. Another attempt resulted in "Lost Souls and Butt Holes." Unacceptable again! So they tried "Analysis and Anal Cysts." Not a chance. "Nuts and Butts?" No way. "Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go. "Loons and Moons?" Forget it. Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends." Everyone loved it. 0303030303 During a airline flight a Pilot was seated next to a young mother with a babe in arms. When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible. The pilot pretended not to notice and, upon debarking, he gallantly offered his assistance to help with the various baby-related impedimenta. When the young mother expressed her gratitude, the pilot responded, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby.and he sure was hungry!" Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said nursing would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears. The Navy Pilot sadly shook his head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "Man!! And all these years I've been chewing gum. A man with a nagging secret couldn't keep it any longer. In the confessional he admitted that for years he had been stealing building supplies from the lumberyard where he worked. "What did you take?" his priest asked. "Enough to build my own house and enough for my son's house. And houses for our two daughters and our cottage at the lake." "This is very serious," the priest said. "I shall have to think of a far-reaching penance. Have you ever done a retreat?" 0303030303 I dialed a number and got the following recording: 7 am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes." And some interesting one liners. •My wife and I had words, but I didn't get to use mine. •Frustration is trying to find your glasses without your glasses. •Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting. •The irony of life is that, by the time you're old enough to know your way around, you're not going anywhere. •God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question. •I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one.MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS October, 2015 October 7 - Supper Meeting 7:00 p.m. October 21 - Supper Meeting 7:00 p.m. Donations • Sponsored Seniors Dinner. • $500 to Milo Terry Fox Run.

It has been busy, exciting and very encouraging. The community of Milo has been very supportive to me in my new role and I felt privileged to see the com­munity come together during the annual Terry Fox Run! Thank you to everyone for your support toward such an important cause. The students have had a great start to the year, getting back into the swing of things in reading and writing skills, organization and learning vast amounts of new knowledge in all subject areas. This year we have a music and band teacher, and an art teacher coming for next semester for grades 5-9. This year the school has undergone some exciting changes with a new Vice Principal, more learning oppor­tunities and options classes, different subject teachers, and a school year theme "Dare to Dream". After a fresh coat of paint over the summer, the school looks bright, and teachers dove into designing a new mis­sion and vision for the school. Our new mission is “Empowering Lifelong Learners”. We strive to be an engaging, collaborative, and global community; through high expectations, student leadership and family values. As a learning community we will promote: • Student diversity • Active inquiry • Reflective practice To learn more about the International Baccalaureate programme please visit: www.ibo.org Well underway is also a new logo design which will be revealed soon and be used to enhance the front of the school as well as to promote Milo Community School as a new school of choice in southern Alberta as an International Baccalaureate Candidate school. A core component to the IB programme is project-based learning. This year for parent teacher interviews, we will have student-led conferences, where students will showcase their own learning and progress. Along with the work of preparing to become an IB school we are also focusing on 3 school goals to help move us to another level of achievement and success: 1) enhancing our safe and caring learning community of parents, students and teachers, 2) increasing our literacy stand­ards, methods and achievement results, and 3) improving our standards for assessment of learning to in­crease overall student achievement. To learn more about the school goals join us for the October School Council meeting. Our Meet the Teacher Night on September 28 was a success with a chili supper and a great turn out! Thank you to all who attended. And thank you to the staff who help to arrange and serve the supper. Just a re­minder, school council meets the third Tuesday of every month at 6:30 pm. Come and join the discussion and decision-making. For the latest news go to our website, at www.miloschool.ca it now features a calendar of events for the year, a School Council page for meeting minutes and reports, and school news updates and events. Con­tact us if you are looking for a volunteering opportunity, if there is something happening in the community that you would like us to be a part of, or if you'd like to visit and share your area of expertise. Sincerely, Rachelle Prud'Homme B.Ed, M.Ed Principal, Arrowwood & Milo School Palliser Regional Schools Together we will ensure learning success for all students to develop their unique potential as caring citizens in a changing world. "Leadership in Literacy'Milo SchoolCranioSacral 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.

As I have done in previous years, a copy of the budget and an explanation will be provided. Under the MGA, a municipality must provide at least 30 days for payment of taxes, so the end of November will allow for some additional time. Both villages are looking to advertise a general meeting in November, inviting ratepayers to learn more about the current business of the municipalities along with their strategic priorities. We are aiming to start forecasting our 2016 budgets in October, making decisions on utility rates and capital projects before the end of the current year. The Village of Arrowwood held a public hearing for the new land use bylaw at its regular meeting in September. Comments were given consideration and council decided to delay finalizing this bylaw until the October meeting. Further comments and questions have been directed to the Village’s planner. The Village is grateful for the interest shown at the open house and public hearing, this being a detailed and much more comprehensive land use bylaw. The Village of Milo has awarded extensive sanitary sewer rehabilitation to Shawne Excavating out of High River. Significant attention will be given to 1st Street North as it appears to be causing ongoing issues for residents. The final deadline for completion will be next summer, however, we are hopeful that much of it can be undertaken this fall (We will see.). Planning for further capital projects is in the works.

Guaranteed Tax-Efficient Income Second only to health concerns, the greatest fear among today's retirees is outlasting their assets during retirement. With interest rates being at or near all-time lows, a retiree can no longer rely on deriving an acceptable retirement cash flow from just the interest income on invested capital. This forces us to look to alternative investments which can be more volatile in today's economic landscape. If only we could increase returns and still have peace of mind. It is inevitable that the classic Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) strategy will at some point require a retiree to erode their capital in favour of supplementing their income. Using a GIC strategy may put the retiree at risk of outliving their capital or deteriorating the very estate they had hoped to leave to loved ones and/or charitable organizations. With a GIC income strategy, an investor uses cash to purchase GICs that provide a rate of return for a set period of time. The investor takes the monthly interest payments received from the GICs as income. The investor then is required to pay tax on the total annual interest income derived from the GIC investment. So, the rate of return is very low to begin with, and then you're required to pay tax on everything you earn - there's not much left afterwards! With an Insured Annuity Strategy, you are able to receive guaranteed tax-efficient income for life. How does this work? Rather than buying a GIC, purchase a Prescribed Life Annuity. You pay tax on the annual taxable amount of annuity income (which is much more favourable than interest on a GIC). You also pay a monthly premium for a life insurance policy using only a portion of the after tax annuity income. At death, your beneficiary will receive the life insurance face amount, tax free. In other words, the annuity provides the guaranteed income (for life) and the insurance replaces the capital invested in the annuity at death. Every individual will be different, however let's consider this example: a 65 year old male, non-smoker, who has $100,000 to invest. We show a comparison between purchasing a GIC at 2.5% (which is high based on today's rates) and purchasing an Insured Annuity. Comparing Results Cash Flow Example 1 Principal / Face Amount: • GIC Rate: * Tax Rate: • Permanent Insurance: * Annuity: $100,000 2.50 % 39.00 % Manulife, Client investment Selject Desjardins 1 GIC I insured Annuity I Monthly Cash Flow $208 $524 Tax Payable $81 $15 insurance Premium $0 $265 Net Monthly Cash Flow $127 $244 Net After Tax Yield 1.53 % 2.92% Equivalent GIC Rate 4.79% 92 % More To obtain specific details, please call Darren or Ron Deitz at 1-800-661-2817.

However, in our community, doing what we've always done has been the backbone of so many wonderful activities and events throughout our history. In thinking about what we could do here to increase the sustainability of our Village, this quote really struck home. We have spent much time understanding what we "need" here, and many great projects have been done to move forward in the "if we build it, they will come" type of thought. As an addition to this, I wonder about how we can expand on this thought as we continue forward. As a village, we face many of the same issues that others do in the County and in the Province. It is the current reality of living in "small town" rural Alberta. As we approach October and election time, I think of my term on council and my experiences. I wonder what will happen next October when our current council comes up for re-election? Will they have the energy to continue juggling full-time jobs and their volunteer positions? Will the frustrations with government rules, regulations and paperwork struggles continue? Will councils be able to put aside old struggles and come together for the greater good? One of my biggest struggles in stepping down comes after the fact in watching committees discussing the same things we did and yet they "seem" to be new ideas. I have heard this from previous councilors also. As a resident, I see the same cycle that spurred me to run returning. This is where I look at myself and what I have or haven't done. 1 have never been to a council meeting since I stepped down. I have never offered to help ease the burden of the council or find out what I could do for them. And what truly is "the greater good?" In returning to the title quote, what could happen if we took an honest look at the current reality of our community? What if we look at things through the lens of "what can we do to bring revenue into our village?" As an individual, I can choose to support current businesses consistently, trade services with my neighbour, and do whatever I can to keep my money here in Milo. What then could we do through our organizations and what options do we currently have within the village itself to boost our own economy without having to put out more "extra" money? I encourage you to put focused thought into it, and together let’s become a "Milo Think Tank.” More minds are better than just mine. The answer is there. I know it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my opinions. Again I extend my complete gratitude to our businesses, our employers, our committees, our organizations, our volunteers for all of your time and efforts to make Milo the place I am proud to call home. I leave you with this quote from Lome Fitch in 2010: "We CAN manage cooperatively what we can't individually. That is an old, powerful concept called "community."

As I review the ‘politicking’ of my friends on Facebook, I’m seeing a disturbing trend. Suddenly, after a generation plus of being proud conservatives, ‘somebody’ voted against the PC’s, or more particularly voted against their past 10 years’ record, and we have a new government and a new Premier. “Release the Kraken!” yelled our arguably bully-prone Prime Minister, and a new sport has emerged - NDP bashing. Now here's the spot where I need to provide full disclosure -1 voted Wild-Rose in the last couple of Provincial elections, and absolutely avoid wearing orange. (The pumpkin color, plus of course my shape, make jokes just too easy for other people.) And I have come to care about our Health Care System for 2 reasons; first I would be dead, dead, dead-dead, without it (that’s one dead for each heart attack, with the double dead last to include the quadruple bypass that gave me back a lot of lost functionality), and my daughter works for AHC. Next, can you stand a bit of REAL history? In the US, they love to venerate Ronald Reagan. Up here, the Grand Old Man of massive budget surpluses (and a more than passing speech-giving resemblance to Donald Trump - Eastern creeps and bums vs. Mexican thugs and rapists) is King Ralph Klein. Ralph and/or his strategist Rod Love discovered a truth about politics that had emerged in the US - you need to appeal to a majority of the electorate, but can kill off a sector (and the expenses that go with them), as long as they are sprinkled thinly enough across all the electoral districts so that their protests add up to - nothing. And who is actually easier to pick on (remember me in paragraph 2 above) than a sick guy in the hospital? So King Ralph hit health care hard. And he was smart about it - he left the powerful doctors alone. And just shot nurses (and other front line workers) - lots and lots of nurses. And saved a ton of money! And we cheered, because we weren’t in the hospital. Almost nobody noticed anything except the SAVINGS, and the SURPLUS, and if we did see something from a nurses’ union, well, it was from a UNION, and they are all overpaid #$$holes, right? The PC's who followed Ralph, learned their lessons well, and would probably still be in power except some idiot in the party read some article, and decided to change the rules for electing the party leader. ‘If we can’t agree at first, let’s take the person who has the most second- choice votes’ they said. And we got Ed Stelmach, and Alison Redford. Ooooh, look how well that worked! So, we suddenly have a party that has a reputation for spending other people’s money (OURS!!!!). No, they don’t shovel money into the street, and yes, they will make some bad choices because of inexperience, as they attempt to clean up the few (not all) policies of the past ten years that got us where we are today. And yes, they like orange, and as we all know nothing rhymes with orange. (Take a minute and think about it.) Now, on social media I see a new trend - if somebody loses a job, then it’s the NDP. ANYTHING bad that happens now is because of our evil Premier Rachel Notley. Even if she’s trying to fix something that Wonderful Sky Palace Alison Redford did, or redress the hacking that Hug Me Because I Love You All, and Will Stick Around Even If I'm Not the Premier Jim Prentice did, she is going to kill us all by forcing us to live under bridges out of shopping carts. (Remember, I voted Wild-Rose.) So, go ahead, and keep kicking anything with an NDP image on it. And the next time you see that funny Post or Tweet, ask yourself who wrote it. Are they in the hospital right now? Do their kids need anything special in terms of education and health care? Or do they want the good old days back, with Alison and Caring Jim? Because the real problem in Alberta is that we, like many, tend to forget history, and we can’t be bothered taking the time to read anything that might give us facts or a view we might disagree with. Just for fun, try TIME & Macleans, cover to cover, as a start. You may learn that not all PCs & policies are perfect, and not all NDP folks & their policies are bad. Why, you could even wait for the NDP to lay out a budget before giving us a shopping cart, and a map to the nearest bridge. Who knows, Rachel and her friends may even listen to us in an attempt to get re-elected! Me, I’m still trying to figure out who to vote for. I guess I’ll look on Facebook for the answer. Or Twitter.

Curiosity got the best of her and she went out to find her husband covered with grease and the tractor in pieces. She saw he was very upset so asked him what was wrong. “Sorry dear,” he replied. “I just don’t have the vocabulary to keep this old machine workin’ anymore." 0303030303 Newfoundland has no skunks and no snakes. A Newfoundlander told us there are also no squirrels: “That’s because all the nuts are on the mainland!" 0303030303 Mother: “If you want a new tricycle, why don't you pray for one?" Junior: “It’s no use - Art doesn’t listen." Mother: “Art who?" Junior: “Art in Heaven.” 0303030303 To get back on your feet, just miss two car payments. 0308030308 What some people mistake as the high cost of living is the cost of living high. 0303030303 This summer, one third of the people will be ill- housed, ill-nourished, and ill-clad. Only they call it a vacation. 0303030303 Never expect good news in an envelope with a window. 0303030303 There's nothing wrong with having nothing to say, unless you say it. 0303080808 To teach your children the value of today’s dollar, you'd better hurry. 0303030303 Don't exercise by jumping to conclusions. Do it by digging for the facts. 0303030303 Letting the cat out of the bag is a whole lot easier than putting it back in. 0303030303 Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. 0303030303 Always drink upstream from the herd. 0303030303 If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you have to do is stop digging. 0303030303 Life is simpler if you plow around the stump. 0303030303 It doesn’t take a very big person to carry a grudge. 0303030303 Most of the stuff people worry about isn’t going to happen anyway. 0303030303 When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. 0303030303 The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.FRIDAY OCTOBER 30™ ran. 7anpM MILO COMMODITY HALL HALLOWEEN HOWLER A family-friendly Halloween experience, full of games, treats, and fun!
