In the Lutheran Church, we have been discussing this, because as the towns go, so goes the church. In many cases, a church was the first important building completed in a new community. Now, too many of them sit empty, a reminder that the faith of our fathers is no longer the faith of the current generation. The beautiful church buildings (that are maintained by a smaller and aging group) grow fewer as each year goes by. The day is not that far away that it will be no longer viable to maintain a house of worship in many communities, and another key social institution will be gone from the community. You are encouraged to patronize the local businesses so that they may continue to serve the community. It is no less a necessity for the local churches. In today's world it is no great effort to drive to a church in another community, just as it is no great effort to drive to High River, Lethbridge or Vulcan to buy groceries. But the community will be the poorer when the local restaurant/store/church closes forever. As with many local entities, this is close to becoming a reality. The original Lutheran churches were built (not necessarily in a town) to provide a house of worship where the native language was spoken, in our cases, Scandinavian. Over the years, as assimilation into the English speaking country took place, there was no longer a need for such a gathering place and the first chink appeared in the walls of the church. In long ago days, no sports event began before noon on a Sunday, indeed the Lord's Day Act forbade stores being open, let alone liquor stores. This has all changed. One of my parishioners said that not long ago, 12 large families would have been supported on the land that he currently farms. Larger land holdings equal fewer families in the community. I have also seen, with sorrow, the departure of long time residents who have had to move to larger centres with senior's residences to receive the care they need. There are newcomers, of course, but how many become involved in community activities and patronize local businesses and services? And are we truly committed to always extend a welcome when odds are the new people are also 'different' people? More people left the church to pursue ‘more entertaining’ Sunday morning adventures. More entertaining? Perhaps. More valuable and uplifting? I doubt it. Parents and grandparents worry about the spiritual welfare of the latest generation. They are the first whose values and morals are not set by the church, the school, or parents, but by the social networks and web sites populating the internet (a wilderness if there ever was one) and television. Rural life in southern Alberta has many advantages (I know I am preaching to the choir now) but without the support of the community, businesses, and the institutions which led us in the care of each other, will continue to leave. The church may be one of the victims of indifference. And the community and its life will be diminished.

VThanks to Ray Johnson for donating these digital photos to the Archives of Slim Moorehouse and his record team of 32 horses and 8 wagons of grain to the Calgary StampedeA commentary on the recent Lethbridge trial I know I’m entering a mine field here, mixing parents’ rights, science, religion, and the legal system. But I feel someone should speak up. At my most base level, I admit I’m glad that the parents of the little boy who died from meningitis were convicted of failing to supply the necessities of life. But as is almost always the case, It quickly gets complicated when you look below the surface. I have a science based view of the world. No God to interfere, no conspiracy theories on Big Government, Big Pharma, Big Monsanto to drive my view of the planet. Yes, I pretty much wake up every day certain I’m on a rock in space run by hairless monkeys with drivers’ licenses. (Which means my faith in the future is somewhat limited, but I'm still an optimist.) My community service is based on liking people and believing we have evolved (yes, evolved) to care for each other, not in any fear of afterlife punishment. However as you know, I not only consort with people of faith (all sorts, actually) I spend time and money to help them find a deeper understanding of that faith, share it with others, and celebrate if. I write and edit religious text - you might call it Grammar for God. So while I am tempted to scorn the parents in Lethbridge, I must say I have followed the case closely, and feel very sorry for the couple. I believe they are devout, and true to their faith, which includes caring for their children in the best way possible - within their world view. That is the key here - within their world view. For them it is based on a religion, and that dictates several choices - natural care, no vaccinations, and spending considerable time sharing and nurturing a faith in God. Unfortunately that faith is often presented as a hard package - you buy the whole thing, you don’t cherry pick what you like and ignore what you don't feel comfortable with. If you do take the buffet approach, you are much less a person of faith, perhaps even a heathen or non-believer. I am sure that the couple love their children. But I’m also sure that if they were suddenly to embrace science in health care, it would - to them, and that’s the key - mean they were wrong about all the rest of the way they live. They would have to give up their sense of community, their support from their congregation, friends and relatives, and the base upon which they have built their lives. This is the way people are built. We resist changing even a small part of long held and built up beliefs, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. I can recite historical examples until the cows come home. I can also point out my own recent bias regarding Bill 6 - something that involved safety, my person passion and profession, so could (in theory) have nothing bad about it. I found it very hard to come to the new conclusion that the people writing that legislation were in fact making several basic errors that would negate any good, and in fact add silly roadblocks to family farming in a bunch of areas. I was shattered personally, and spent time apologizing to people whose views I had scorned. In this case, they were right, and I was wrong. Worse than that, I have to live with the knowledge that it may well happen again. We as humans thrive on certainty, and fear being wrong. (Funny sentence in a community built on agriculture - the home of risk.) So, let us take a moment, and hope that, in some way, all of us become more open to the idea, and the process of finding out, that perhaps our beliefs may be wrong, and the thoughts of others may in fact be correct. And that a family member’s life does not hang in the balance.

VulcanSo, what do we Canadians have to be proud of eh???? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Hockey is Canadian 7. Basketball is Canadian 8. Apple pie is Canadian 9. Mr, Dress-up beats Mr. Rogers 10. Tim Horton’s beats Dunkin’ Donuts 11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the Americans back past their White House. Then we burned it, and most of Washington . We got bored because they ran away. Then, we came home and partied.Go figure. Smarties (not sold in the USA) Crispy Crunch, Coffee Crisp (not sold in the USA) The size of our footballs fields, one less down, and bigger balls (!). Baseball is Canadian - 1st game - June 4,1838 - Ingersoll, ON Lacrosse is Canadian 12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to Germany. (By mostly declining to enter the war.) 13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere. EVER! (We got clobbered in the odd battle but prevailed in ALL the wars) 14. Our civil war was fought in a bar and lasted a little over an hour. (Editor’s note -1 think some people who died on the Plains of Abraham may have thought differently - but that's a technicality.) 15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American mercenary, he slept in and missed the whole thing. He showed up just in time to get caught. (Editor here again -1 need more of this one - somebody out there help us?) 16. A Canadian invented Standard Time. 17. The Hudson’s Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth’s surface and is still around as the world's oldest company. 18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in under 3 minutes - never fall in front of the sled. (That's more information than I need!) 19. We know what to do with the parts of a buffalo. (Well, aboriginal people of the plains did. We slaughtered most of them and left them to rot except for their tongues, which we salted.) 20. We don’t marry our kin-folk. (Saskatchewan? Manitoba?) 21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin, penicillin and the telephone. Also short wave radios which save countless lives each year. 22. We have ALL frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell about it. 23. A Canadian invented Superman. 24. We have coloured money. (Some would say comic book.) BUT MOST IMPORTANT! The handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands in with mitts on. OOOoohhhhh.Canada!! Oh yeah. And our elections only take one day! PS And for those who appreciate a good, safe, efficient and readily available screw - we invented the Robertson Method!! A Farm Kid Joins the Marines Dear Ma and Pa, I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join up quick before all the places get filled up. I was restless at first because you get to stay in bed till nearly 6 a.m. But I am getting used to sleeping late now. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your bunk and shine some stuff. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practically nothing. Men got to shave but it is not that bad, because there’s warm water here. Breakfast is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., but kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Walt and Elmer you can always sit by the city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It’s no wonder these city boys can’t walk much. We go on "forced marches," which the platoon sergeant says is necessary to harden us. If he thinks so, it’s not my place to tell him different. A "forced march’’ is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in big trucks. The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The Captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none. This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting awards for shooting. I don’t know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain’t shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there all comfortable and hit it. You don’t even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break real easy. It ain't like fighting with them boys back home. I’m about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake. I only beat him once. He joined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6" and 130 pounds and he's 6'8" and near 300 pounds dry. Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers get onto this setup and come stampeding in. Your loving daughter, Alicewww.invisiblefence.com INDOOR PET PRODUCT OF THE YEAR !!

Along with good weather, April brought us leadership conferences, the Marine Biology Project Celebration and athletic opportunities! Our students in junior high have been working on developing leadership projects to enhance the school through focusing on wellness areas. There are exciting projects for lunch buddies, c- can inspiration painting, classroom exercise teacher packs, classroom garden support and an art expression wall. Some of these projects will develop into next year as well. The grade 4-6 leadership students have their eyes on creating a charity car wash, a happiness box to encourage students and a market place during the Learning Exhibition in June. There is much to be excited about! Let’s take a look ahead into May & June: • Learning Exhibition and Market (students will be showcasing samples of their learning and selling home-made crafts for charities) • Palliser Music Day is on May 4th • Grade 1-6 are going to Drumheller on May 19th • Grade 1-9 are going to the zoo and swimming, stay tuned for more details! • Grade 6 & 9 exams, check the website calendar for details, and study outlines will be coming home soon! • Awards Assembly and Talent Show will be on June 24 • IB Info Night June 7, 7-8pm • School Survey will go home too so we can learn more about the growth we’ve achieved As the year winds down we are gearing up for next year and working hard to make preparations for our exciting IB programming. All staff are now trained in the IB program and we are working to make our grade 1-6 Programme of Inquiry of 36 Inquiry Units of Study.

Thank you Diane Banack for lending us your wonderful puppets. Math Basically all three grades have 4 mini-units left for math. I like to call them, “the fun units.” They have outcomes for basic facts (with grade 3 learning multiplication and division), shapes and solids (geometry), measurement (length, perimeter, and time), and data analysis (graphing). Social Studies The grade ones are learning about groups in Milo and will be doing a time line for how Milo has changed. Thank you Mike Monner for agreeing to come into our class and to talk with us about changes to Milo. Thank you Katie Walker for helping us organize this project. The grades 2-3 are doing a "wrap up” project on all their learning for Meteghan, Iqaluit, and Saskatoon. They have a choice to make dioramas, trifolds, or videos and their presentations have to meet the criteria for characteristics of the community they choose. Their second project is a time line for the history of Milo or Siksika. The students will be researching the past 100 years and choosing 10 important dates to label on timelines. The projects will be showcased on our Learning Exhibition Day. More info to come! Science We have two units left in science - “Rocks and Minerals” and “Animal Lifecycles". We have been patiently awaiting the 28 days for our ducklings and goslings to hatch. May 3 is the hatch date and we are excited! Thank you G-nel Nelson for lending us eggs to hatch.

May 2016 • Milo School • www. miloschool.caViDeo conference (O Milo library This style of yoga targets the deeper tissues of the body - bones, joints, connective tissues, and fascia. Postures are practiced mostly upon the floor and are held for longer periods of time than other styles. For those yogis that wonder why sitting in meditation is still difficult even though you practice other forms of yoga (often very muscularly based), this class helps to balance the opposing forces within the body. Yin yoga is very supportive and gentle, and requires props! Thankfully, most people have these things around the house. Participants must bring to class: 2 firm pillows, 2 blankets, two bath towels, a couple thick books or yoga blocks, and a bathrobe tie or long belt. ^PV^actlce ^oga wiib Us!

See you on May 11th.Some “Interesting” California History TRUCKEE, Calif. — Western stagecoach companies were big business in the latter half of the 19th century. In addition to passengers and freight, stages hauled gold and silver bullion as well as mining company payrolls. Stage robbery was a constant danger and bandits employed many strategies to ambush a stagecoach. Thieves rarely met with much resistance from stage drivers, since they had passenger safety foremost in mind. The gang was usually after the Wells Fargo money box with its valuable contents. Passengers were seldom hurt, but they were certainly relieved of their cash, watches and jewelry. Before the completion of the transcontinental railroad over Donner Pass in 1868, the only transportation through the Sierra was by stage. Rugged teamsters held rein over six wild-eyed horses as they tore along the precipitous mountain trails. The stagecoaches were driven by skilled and fearless men who pushed themselves and their spirited horses to the limit. One of the most famous drivers was Charles Darkey Parkhurst, who had come west from New England in 1852 seeking his fortune in the Gold Rush. He spent 15 years running stages, sometimes partnering with Hank Monk, the celebrated driver from Carson City. Over the years, Pankhurst’s reputation as an expert whip grew. From 20 feet away he could slice open the end of an envelope or cut a cigar out of a man’s mouth. Parkhurst smoked cigars, chewed wads of tobacco, drank with the best of them, and exuded supreme confidence behind the reins. His judgment was sound and pleasant manners won him many friends. One afternoon as Charley drove down from Carson Pass the lead horses veered off the road and a wrenching jolt threw him from the rig. He hung on to the reins as the horses dragged him along on his stomach. Amazingly, Parkhurst managed to steer the frightened horses back onto the road and save all his grateful passengers. NO PATIENCE FOR CROOKS During the 1850s, bands of surly highwaymen stalked the roads. These outlaws would level their shotguns at stage drivers and shout, “Throw down the gold box!” Charley Parkhurst had no patience for the crooks despite their demands and threatening gestures. The most notorious road agent was nicknamed “Sugarfoot." When he and his gang accosted Charley’s stage, it was the last robbery the thief ever attempted. Charley cracked his whip defiantly, and when his horses bolted, he turned around and fired his revolver at the crooks. Sugarfoot was later found dead with a fatal bullet wound in his stomach. In appreciation of his bravery, Wells Fargo presented Parkhurst with a large watch and chain made of solid gold. In 1865, Parkhurst grew tired of the demanding job of driving and he opened his own stage station. He later sold the business and retired to a ranch near Soquel, Calif. The years slipped by and Charley died on Dec. 29, 1879, at the age of 67. A few days later, the Sacramento Daily Bee published his obituary. It read “On Sunday last, there died a person known as Charley Parkhurst, aged 67, who was well-known to old residents as a stage driver. He was in early days accounted one of the most expert manipulators of the reins who ever sat on the box of a coach. It was discovered when friendly hands were preparing him for his final rest, that Charley Parkhurst was unmistakably a well-developed woman!” NOT LIKE OTHER MEN, ER, WOMEN? Once it was discovered that Charley was a woman, there were plenty of people to say they had always thought he wasn’t like other men. Even though he wore leather gloves summer and winter, many noticed that his hands were small and smooth. He slept in the stables with his beloved horses and was never known to have had a girlfriend. Charley never volunteered clues to her past. Loose fitting clothing hid her femininity and after a horse kicked her, an eye patch over one eye helped conceal her face. She weighed 175 pounds, could handle herself in a fistfight and drank whiskey like one of the boys. It turns out that Charley’s real name was Charlotte Parkhurst. Abandoned as a child, she was raised in a New Hampshire orphanage unloved and surrounded by poverty. Charlotte ran away when she was 15 years old and soon discovered that life in the working world was easier for men. So she decided to masquerade as one for the rest of her life. The rest is history. Well, almost. There is one last thing. On November 3,1868, Charlotte Parkhurst cast her vote in the national election, dressed as a man. She became the first woman to vote in the United States, 52 years before Congress passed the 19th amendment giving American women the right to vote.MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS: Steak Supper and Installation of New Officers Wednesday, June 15,6:00 p.m. Canada Day Breakfast July 1 - see poster below MEETINGS May 2016 May 4 - Milo Supper Meeting 7:00 p.m. May 18 - Milo Supper Meeting 7:00 p.m. Lions BBQ and Show ‘N Shine Sunday, August 14,2016 See full page poster in this newsletter.

We anticipate that this will get underway the first part of May. We hope to improve several sections of roadway now that the underground and structural work is complete. The sewer sanitary system will have received significant rehabilitation between the replacement of three manholes, three sections of sewer main and the application of a cured in place liner in another section. We have also undertaken the replacement of individual sewer service connections that have been problematic and, when possible, the replacement of the water service valve (curb stop) should both services be readily exposed. With the replacement of the fire hydrant at 1st Street North and 1st Avenue, all hydrants in the village are now fully operational. The old hydrant in this location was in decent condition considering it dated to 1960. As a cost saving measure, we had tried to fix a water leak issue with this hydrant by installing a new seal kit and then pressure testing the unit. That seemed to go smoothly until we turned the water back on. Within 24 hours we had water running down 1st Street North which proved the leak to be at the water shut off valve. Given that the valve had to be excavated and repaired it was deemed worthwhile to replace the 56 year old hydrant at the same time. Once this infrastructure project is complete and Arrowwood tidies up some odds and ends on its major infrastructure projects, both villages will be working toward their next round of capital improvements. You can expect to see a sidewalk project in both villages as well as projects pertaining to water treatment and safety. Arrowwood is now moving toward a similar project that Milo has undertaken regarding the rehabilitation of its sewer sanitary system. The public works guys in Arrowwood have been servicing the 60 year old village fire truck so that we can flush the sewer mains and potentially avoid calling in contract services from elsewhere. We are fortunate to have dedicated individuals in both villages getting a head start on weed control and other spring work. Like the farmers, we are hoping for more rain to get our grass seed growing.

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.

This sunshine and warm weather, makes a person think about getting outside! We all know how essential Vitamin D is to our bodies but are you aware of Vitamin N? Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods advocates that children be given time to "be" in natural environments. He suggests that our little people be given an opportunity to experience nature beyond the local park/playground/backyard. In addition to the health benefits, studies reveal that playing in nature supports brain development and reduces stress. So grab your hats, sunscreen and water and get outside! Here are 10 ideas suggested by Wilder Child: 1. Play 2. Ask questions - be curious 3. Enjoy every kind of weather (even the windy days) 4. Look for food - nurturing seedlings 5. Go for an adventure 6. Be Prepared 7. Enjoy the surroundings 8. Be Creative - painting, collecting 9. Work - gardening, collecting rocks 10.
