Milo, filbe-rfa T0L1L0Village of Milo The Special Meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Wednesday, July 21, 1993 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner and Hingley, Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr, and Bill Brown. The minutes of the meeting held on June 9th, 1993 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. ^ Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr reported to Council that the census that was taken in June shows Milo's population to be 120. Council read the operational contract from the Vulcan and District Ambulance. Mayor Umscheid and Lynda Cyr signed and sealed the same. Bill Brown reported to Council on the duties he has been doing for the past month. A discussion was held in regards to the landfill site. Bill will be collecting the trailer court rent from now on for the new R/V park. Mayor Umscheid said the Master Plan for the recreation board is being sent back to Lethbridge with a few recommendations. Therefore, it will probably be approximately another month before it is completed. Lynda Cyr said the secretary from the Vulcan R.C.M.P. had phoned in regards to a new system called "Big Mouth Computer Fan Out System" which they are hoping to implement in the County. Mayor Umscheid said he would go to their office and talk to them about it. Lynda Cyr is to check with A.G.T. as to the reason for the high rent for the Village's phone since we do not rent any phones. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. CATCHER <>8(JS° The August trip to Chinook Centre was cancelled again, due to lack of passengers.

Marilyn adjourned the meeting then served a delicious lunch. Next meeting is September 8tn in the church basement. All are welcome. a1'5 Jour Cl j' The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude of life. Attitude, to me is more important than fact. It is more important than the past, than education, money, than circumstance, than ' failure, than success, and more than what other people think of, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. a church. a home. The remarkable thing, is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. .we canno-t change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it, and'so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitude. - by C.

"Hotcakes to High Stakes: The Chuckwagon Story” by Doug Nelson We have just received this book. It is well illustrated and a very enjoyable read. Memberships Most patron's membership fees are due in September. Fees are: $ 7.00/family $ 3.50/single adult or $ 1.00/student All members will receive a card so they can use any other library in the Chinook Arch System at no extra charge, (including any in the County of Vulcan, Lethbridge Public Library, etc.) -see below Chinook Arch Update With tiie announcement of a lotteries grant for the purchase of a building, Chinook Arch has finally been given enough Provincial support to expand to be providing the services it should. It has been a two year wait, but already about 2/3 of the holdings of the member libraries are on computer. What is most important to members of Milo Library is getting hooked up by computer to the System Catalog so we can browse through and borrow other libraries' books, and having a delivery van begin its route so we can receive and return materials right from Milo. This should be in place before 1994. Other than the building grant, the funding of Chinook .Arch Regional Library' System will not represent any new government money. Chinook Arch completed the picture in that basically the whole province (other than Calgary' and Edmonton) is operating under systems. The money available for these libraries will be spread out to include Chinook Arch. library Hours (note the addition ofYhursday evening) Tuesdays 9:00am-l 1:30am Thursdays 9:30am-12:30am 1:30pm- 4:00pm 7:00pm- 8:30pm Phone: 599-3850 -The phone is there to be used.

MILO COMMUNITY SCHOOL RECYCLING TRAILER Congratulations to the community on how well the recycling program is going.! We have had the trailer emptied once over the summer. I was told that they were very impressed with how clean everything was and how well sorted the goods were. Our trailer stayed here; GPS Recycling brought up an empty one and replaced their bins with our full ones. The total transportation cost for this is $60.00, and we were short $6.80. Since this was a trial run, we were not charged.The main reason we were short was because our 4 newspaper bins were not completely full. Newspaper generates the most revenue, and if all 4 bins are full, we will cover our costs. Please make sure you sort out your newspaper from the mixed paper so it can go into the newspaper bin. We cannot accept plastic grocery bags. The only plastics we can receive are #1 #2 and #4. Please recycle grocery bags with your grocer or use the garbage bin provided. If the plastic containers are large and bulky, we would appreciate it if they are flattened, so they don't take up so much room. Cardboard is so bulky, that we would like everyone to please flatten them so they take up less space. We are taking clear glass only. It can be smashed as it is put into the bin. That way we cart accept more. If you ahave any further questions, please give me a call. Joanne MonnerDinosaur Country Science Camp Jim and Jana Godkin attended a special three-day Dinosaur Country Science Camp for "Matchbox Winners" in Dnunheller on August 25- 28, The camp and the science competitions are sponsored by the Science Alberta Foundation. For the science competitions, junior high students had to develop "matchbox-sized" science projects and younger students did shoebox-sized" projects. There were 325 entrants across the province and, of the 50 winners, Milo was fortunate enough to have three winners from the Grade 7 students who entered. Susan Good Eagle was also a matchbox wanner but was unable to attend the camp. Outdoor activities at camp included an "Ecozone Hike" at Morrin Bridge, hill-climbing and looking for fossils, being an archaelogisf' studying teepee rings at Thumb Hill, and a beaver dam excursion to the creek under the highway bridge. Inside activities included cleaning dinosaur fossils and mapping an archaelogical site. The activities were fun, especially with 14 new friends from all over the province. Students stayed in the dormitory at Dnunheller Composite High School and Jim and Jana say the food served was excellent. Dinosaur Country Science Camp sponsors other camps anyone can attend. There are 5 week-long camps for 5-12 year olds, 1 week- long camp for 13-16 year olds, a family weekend camp, and a special week-long camp (with a 3-day canoe trip) for 14-17 year olds.WKW<S flflfW 421-lst Street West HIGH RIVER, Alta. 652-4844 (24 Hour Hotline) Showtime: Please Check Individual Listings ADMISSION: ADULT $5.50 YOUTH $4.50 CHILD & SENIOR $3.00 MATINEES: YOUTH & ADULT $3.50 CHILD $2.00 Fine Movie Entertainment Since 1927 SEPTEMBER 1993 s M I W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Proprietors: Gay & Linda Erickson 652-3282 An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making.

Thurs thru' Wed AUG 26-27-28-29-30-31-SEPT 1 7:30 pmBettie Orchard ORA's missionary from Cochrane, Alberta Dear Friends: It is hard to believe I have beenhere nearly 6 months. Life has settled into somewhat of a routine, if that's possible in Moscow. I heard a new saying quoted by a Moscovite the other day that describes perfectly what I often think. "Russia never lets you forget you are in Russia." You know doubt heard about the sudden invalidation of "old" rubles. It was announced on Saturday, and for foreigners, that they were invalid the following Monday. I had a total of 80,000 in old bills (equivalent to about $80.00 U.S.) and the limit foreigners could exchange was, I think 15,000. We had just returned from Kazakhstan the day before and my supervisor happened to hear about it through some friends. He informed me then facilitated getting it all changed - what a scramble, what a blessing. The hot water in my building has been shut off for 20 days so they can flush the system, it happens to every home in Moscow sometime during the summer.Russia never lets you forget you are in-Russia. The month of June was a major trial for me in almost every aspect of life. The washing machine broke, the kitchen and bathroom taps both began dripping at Olympic speed and the kitchen ones spewed wateT,r in the cupboard instead of the sewer, and the cockroaches relished the extra flow of water and invaded my apartment," it rained almost every day for the whole month and my mood matched the black clouds in the sky. I have since learned that most missionaries (or perhaps any one who leaves their homeland for an extended period of time) go through major struggles between the 4th and 6th month. The struggle was interrupted during the month of July with new and exciting travell- -ing experiences Travelling to Kazakhstan was some thing of a dream come true. I had read about this country in the past and was always intrigued but never thought I would experience it. And for me it wasn't just a visit, it was a wonderful experience. I will report on the trip later. I am pleased to report on some challenging and interesting work the past couple of months. I had opportunity to: 1. Search the market for Christian literature, Bibles, New Testaments and Sunday School material to send to a new church in Khanty-Mansysk, a city in Siberia. 2. Rendezvous with Canadians travelling to and from Russia, to give them the above mentioned literature for Siberia. 3. Organize the transportation of 2,500 books from Moscow to St. Petersburg only having 3 days lead time. This meant hiring 2 men to personally escort the books by train. The business side of this was an unbelievable experience but it was a blessing to many and God worked wonders in order for it to be accomplished. Bye bye for now and may God richly bless you.

They bathed, put on clean clothes, and had their supper. Then they hurried to town for the evening. Farmers and their help did most of their shopping on Saturday night, and the town took on a carnival type atmosphere. Stores were open as long as there were customers, but the beer parlors closed at 10:00 p.m. Young men were not allowed into bars or the pool room until they were 21, even though most of them worked like men from age 15 on. Women were not allowed in at all, The windows of the pool room had curtains over half way up so no one could look in. Wives were not even allowed inside to talk to their husbands and often as not, if they asked the operator to give their menfolk a message, it was not relayed. Teenagers worked hard all week long just so Mom and Dad would take them along to town an Saturday night. They enjoyed the side show when the bar closed. Men who imbibed hurried to the bar. They ususaily made it shortlly before closing time and had to gulp their beer down in a hurry. When the bar closed some came out laughing and joking and others came out fists a-flying. Nor was that the only attraction for the old Ice cream parlor corner where women and children for miles around met each other for cones, pop and visiting. And while the grown-ups were otherwise occupied, who knows how many romances started on a Saturday night. tVWVVVVVV Little Town I like to live in a little town where trees meet across the street, Where you wave your hand and say "Hello"! to everyone you meet. I like to stand for a moment outside the grocery store And listen ter friendly gossip of the folks that live next door, For life is interwoven with friends we learn to know And we hear their joys and sorrows as we daily come and go; So I like to live in a little town, I care no more to roam, For every house in a little town, is more than a house, it’s home.

Back-to-back Juno Award nominees (1992/93) Straight -Clean & Simple bring their unique style and flavour to the nation’s airwaves once again with their latest hit single “Country Junkie”, released on Hillcrest Music (Vol.ll - Track No.l). “Country Junkie”, written by -group leader Larry Lee Vannatta has attracted the attention of country radio on the strength of the message in the song itself, as well as the intriguing title of the song. Says Vannatta: “We knew the title might be a risk and scare some radio off it, but we were hoping they’d listen to the song beyond its title because there’s a very positive description of what our music is all about.we’re simply ‘hooked on music’ - country music that is!” The Hussar, Alberta group has scored well on national charts with previous releases “Don't Worry About Me”, “Every Goodbye Means Hello”, “Hillbilly Cowboy”, “Put I he Blame On Me”, and several others., all of which have also captured airplav in the L.S. and European markets. 1 wo albums, "Second To None” (1989) and “Iron Lady’ (1991) have earned critical acclaim in Canada and abroad. A new album, “Raised On Country” is scheduled for release later this year. Straight Clean & Simple are popular on the Western Canada Fa i r/Fest i vaI circuit having worked stages in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, as well as a 1991 European tour to promote their single and album releases to overseas markets. lor information on Straight Clean A Simple, contact: ICO.

"Family" is a general term describing some genetic links, Between people whose only similarities may be their kitchen sinks. Every family has a few skeletons in their closets, “Did you hear that cousin Leroy made questionable bank deposits?" "Auntie Joy has another husband, is this one number five?" "The tax man is after Uncle Bob, his books don’t seem to jive." Every family has an aunt whose hair is blue as the sky, And other relatives in their senior years, who are dipping in the dye. There are always athletes present with ability and speed to spare, And others who do their best work while sitting in a chair/ The fa'fners huddle in a group, their own crop is always best, The city folks complain of work and how their lives are stressed. The older folks tell stories about life when things were tough. The youngsters run from place to place, getting into stuff. Every reunion features a potluch supper or two, Pot after pot of delicious from salad to rabbit stew. The over full reunioners sit back and loosen their belts, While little kids hold on to cones until their ice cream melts. There must be some challenge of skills, horseshoes is often the game, People both young and old can display their deadly aim. Some players are vey good and are always around the peg. To others, you must pay more heed or it may wrap around you leg. When it’s time to depart and go our seperate ways, We will be able to look back and be glad we had these days. As our families grow and our kids have a son or daughter, They will also see, firsthand, that blood is thicker than water. ^ Congratulations !! ** OH THEIR Recent engagement: IQ WW. i W t I » 1 ! ! « I Am sure thAt everyone thAt reA&s this Article will be intcrcsteb in am extCHbeb tl\t n\te to somewhere.

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AS A COMMUNITY TO ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED BY SITTING BACK COMPLAINING, AND DOING NOTHING submitted by Ruth Smith'93 SLO-PITCH TOURNAMENT REPORT On August 6, 7, 8, the Milo Lions hosted a community mixed slo-pitch tournament on the new ball diamond. Eight local teams with approximate!y 100 participants, both young and old played their hearts out over the weekend. The weather was excellent with the exception of a rain out Saturday afternoon, but this game was made up Sunday morning before the Lion's barbecue. On the "A" side, the Milo Slo Stars defeated the Mongolians in a close fought battle that was extremely close right to the final out. The "B" side saw the "Beasts from the East" defeat "Art's Kin" in another close battle. The "C" consolation saw the "Kid's" team rough up "Bill Watt's Velociraptors" (small, fast meat eating dinosaurs). In other action this weekend, Brad Gore and Guy Vooys shared the first place prize for the longest fly ball hitting contest. In the beer relay race, the thirsty "Nelson" team edged out Queenstown by .6 seconds in what may be a new land speed record of 39.5 seconds. Good jots to Art in fine tuning this team to victory. The hot weather helped the beer gardens to a good profit and the dance was well attended with Lynn Chase and 22X receiving rave reviews. All in all, there were lots of good comments on our new diamond and everyone is waiting for another tourney as great fun was had by all. 1st PITCH GYMNASTICS CLUB CONCESSION: Gi lbert Vooys, Gord Vooys Catching Rocky Wilson Jennifer Bartsch, Jana Godkin, Janet Suku Chad Monner, Lacey Holoboff, Barb GodkinDoug Bushell, Sandy Henry, Marlys Henry, Wes Reynolds, Joanne Monner, Carol Robertson, Sharleen Bushell, Wendy Hingley: Kneeling - Lana Grant, Mike Hingley, Rocky Wilson, Ken Fetkenher, Jamie Robertson Missing - Trent Jenson B Event Barry Monner, Keith Deitz, Guy Vooys, Warren Heather, Len Orlita, Keith Godkin, Gord Vooys, Penny Heather, Betty Godkin, Kathy Vooys, Colleen Bartsch, Donna Deitz, Allan Bartsch, Lori Vooys, Geoff Vooys, Evan Deitz, Russel Heather, Deanna HeatherRyan McLeod, Deb.Auestad, Alexis McMorris, Colin Monner, Wyatt McMorris Leigh Vooys.

Tom Bateman I first encountered the food chain in 1946 when times were really tough on our homestead. Our strategy for securing our winter food supply, which was stored in the root cellar, was to run a chain through the door handles and attach a padlock to the middle. This was known as our food chain and it served its purpose admirably. No one broke into our larder or stole our food. The objective in our family was to remain alive and food established itself near the top of our list of priorities. Our garden was more than a hobby, and the produce such as potatoes, beets and carrots, were stored carefully. Those vegetables, together with whatever meat we could get, represented our sustenance for the coming winter and spring. In retrospect, it was a lot more fun to plan, plant, harvest and store, than it is to make our regular trip to the produce department of the nearest modern food chain. Contemporary food chains are billion dollar grocery stores that have cases of cans of stuff, most of which I never heard of, stacked 35 feet high. Store clerks wear roller skates and a big guy runs a 12-ton fork lift up and down the aisles. Food chains have really changed during the past 30 years! There is no opportunity to become directly involved with the vegetables the way you do when you tend a garden. Believe it or not, I encountered yet another food chain shortly after I became a wildlife officer. I received an official department memo in official department language, that I think instructed me to attend an official meeting. I must have interpreted the rngino correctly because several other wildlife officers appeared at the same place, at the same time. A man was introduced as being an eminently qualified biologist, and he would teach us about "food chains". The lecture started at 9:00 a.m. and in a flash it was 11:45 a.rn., and someone announced it was lunch time. I realized I still didn't know much about food chains when a colleague informed me that I had slept through the lecture. I thought it was refreshing and insightful. Bits and pieces started to come back to me. I believe, however, the biologist's role model for public speaking must have been a metronome. I think that in a previous life, he may have been a hypnotist because when he started talking, I instantly fell into a deep restful sleep that lasted the length of his lecture. I- did pick up the essence however. Plants draw nutrients from the ground and the sun, and bugs eat plants, and birds and little things eat bugs while big critters eat little critters and presto! we have a food chain. Someone suggested that it is actually a food web. This confused me even more because webs remind me of spiders, and duck feet. Talk about food chains has persisted throughout my career. I still don't know very much about all the technical jargon used to describe my marsh. I just know that the areas that grow the most and greatest variety of vegetation, also seem to be the areas where the most and greatest variety of wildlife live. A marsh that produces a lot of fish, frogs and fowl, also produces a lot of vegetation eaten by both birds and animals. It is a wonder to me to watch insects devour smaller insects, while fish andfrogs kill larger insects, only to be eaten by larger birds, animals or other fish. This is the food chain. I watched it happen in our marsh from my earliest recollections. I didn't realize a person needed to spend 17 years in University and learn how to pronounce names nobody understands, in order to appreciate that all living things need food. Most are just like people insofar as their eating habits are concerned. Most will eat just about anything. "Them big ol' bugs eats littler bugs As on their backs they bite 'em And little bugs eats littler bugs And on and on Ad Infinitum" All living organisms must get food from some where. I learned this principle every time I went swimming in our "crick". After a refreshing wallow in the very turbid water, on top of 8-10 inches of mud a person needed to spend several minutes removing leeches. These blood suckers were busy removing as much of my blood as possible before I pulled them off. They also were interesting creatures because they stretched several times their length before they became willing to let go.Cljanfepou!
