This was hosted by the County of Warner and Toole County Conservation District. About 25% of the farm land in Toole County is in grass seed under their "set aside1* program. This program expires in about 5 years. This land cannot be used for anything and last year an exception was made and some was used for pasture or cut for hay, but no payment was made on acres used this way. Payment is $40.00 per acre per year, so was expensive pasture. The result of this was hay at over $100.00 per ton from Lethbridge area stopped going to Montana for awhile. One farmer I talked to farmed 10,000 A. He had 5000 in the 'set aside' program and farmed 3800; the rest was pasture. His taxes on 10,000 acres were $27,000.00. This included machinery and building tax. He felt his taxes were too high. The free trade in barley that is to start in August was brought up and is a very definite sore spot with the Montana farmers I talked to on the tour. I think one way or another they will stop this or they may flood Southern Alberta with cheap barley of their own. It looked like they have a very good crop coming on. I don't think filling their elevators with cheap wheat last winter was a very smart idea on behalf of those who did it. A potential barley market may not get off the ground as they are looking at ways of counter attack, and 1 think a market for border farmers may not materialize - at least not profitably. A new company has been formed and they are controlling canola acres in Montana and Alberta. Thereabout ;150,000 acres of canola in Montana which is a very small amount compared to Alberta. The crops we saw were poor and thin. The barley crops were nice but about the same height as the ones around here. The research station we stopped at had 2 buildings and contained 80 acres. Most of the equipment was old , such as a 95 John Deere combine and a 1957 fifey grain truck. It appeared money for research was hard to come by and had to be spent care­fully. East of Coutts there is a gravel road on the south side of the border. This road is mostly used by Canadian farmers to haul grain to Coutts. It was built by the State of Montana, gravelled by the .County of Warner (Alberta) and is maintained by the County of Warner. There are no restrictions about these farmers using their road, but when they come to Sweetgrass Montana they turn and go about 200 yards north to the elevator which is on the Canadian side of the border. Most of the quarter sections along the Alberta side of the border contain 200 acres for some reason. There were about 100 farmers on this tour from Canada and we stopped at Sweetgrass and picked up about 20 Montana farmers. This was an interesting one day tour and we finished up with a nice steak barbecue, returning to Warner about 7:00 p.m. Evflr/'&FLic.Af Cku.r\ck [AorAe-nf The June meeting of the E.L.W. was held in the evening of June 9th at the home of SLois Deitz.

SHOWER FOR LORA LEE MIDDLESTEAD A large crowd attended the bridal shower for Loralee Middlestead held on Wednesday, June 17th at 8:00 in the hall. The hall was decorated in a blue theme with porcelain masks which are something Loralee collects. Seated at the head table with Loralee were her mother, Mona, and Doug's mother, Donna Maisey of Vulcan. Loralee's attendants are her sister, Rhonda, Tanya Short, a cousin from Red Deer, Jackie Maisey, Doug's sister from Vulcan, and Kelly Cyr, friend of Loralee. The head table was decorated with a bouquet of beautiful pink roses which were a gift from Mrs. Holoboff Sr., from her yard. A special welcome was also extended to Doug's grandmother, Mrs. Rena Flemming from Champion, and Loralee's cousins Tanya, Aaron and Amanda from Red Deer. Lynda Cyr was the emcee for the evening and gave a brief history of Doug and Loralee's life. She introduced some young girls from the community who danced. They were Michelle Umscheid, Maria Bushell and Amy Hingley who danced to "Walking on Broken Glass", and Tammy Bushell- and Melissa Robertson who danced to "No Bad News". Everyone enjoyed the girls dancing as they did a very good job. Lynda then read a poem which gave Loralee some advice for married life. The poem was from Betty Armstrong. On behalf of the ladies present and those unable to be there, Lynda pre­sented Loralee with a large selection of gifts and every one's best wishes for many happy years together. Loralee very graciously thanked everyone for coming, for the beautiful gifts, and to the ladies who organized the shower. She gave a special thank you to the girls for dancing. Loralee in­vited everyone to come to their wedding dance in Vulcan on July 31st. Tbp pvpninn concluded with the hostesses serving a lovely lunch.Milo Seed Cleaning Association Celebrates Official Opening The Milo Seed Cleaning Association formally known as the Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant opened their doors to approximately 325 people to attend the opening ceremonies of their new plant on June 15. This plant is located on the north side of Milo. The huge structure can be seen for miles when you are driving towards Milo.This plant replaces the old plant which was located in Queenstown and was in operation since 1960. The old plant served the local farmers as well as many from Cluny, Gleichen, Lomond, Arrowwood, Sholdice and Vulcan areas. The Queenstown plant idea was thought of on December 30, 1958 when a few farmers realized the need of a seed cleaning plant. A board of directors were formed with the following men: President, Lawrence Monner; Vice- president, Art Nelson; sec- treasurer, Walter Leadbeater; Harvey Godkin, Vic Bertrand, Jesse Lahd, Frank Durston, Con Peterson, Jack Bushel 1 and Louis Ivers. The first plant manager was Louis Hagel from August 1, 1960 to 1961. Norm Reynolds took over in 1961 to 1965 when Ed Posein became the plant manager and still holds that pos i t ion. This plant served local and surrounding farmers for numerous years, when it was noted that there was no foundation left for the building to stand on. The plant was still not in too bad of shape but because it was built on very low alkali ground the breakdown of the foundation was rapid. In August of 1988, James Will wrote to the Department of Agriculture requesting to have the Queenstown seed cleaning association's name put on the list for replacement of plants. Their request was granted and construction of the plant started on June 1, 1992. For the first while it seemed to be a very slow process but the construction was always on schedule. The weather didn't always cooperate but when it did there was always a lot of action at the site. Many local people watched with amazement while the large structure took shape. The large cranes lifting tons of steel into place as well as the storage bins being erected provided many hours of enjoyable and facinating entertainment for the on lookers. The finished building was the result of many long hours of work from the CVS contracting crew and site engineer, Terry Mullinger as well as the building committee and numerous volunteers of the area. On February 15, 1993 the plant started cleaning seed.The Building Committee consisted of the following men: Keith Godkin, Ian Godkin, Blahne Sukut, Keith Deitz, John Ivers, James Will, Doug Bushel 1 and Garry Nelson. The present board members are: Grant Lahd, County representative; Roy King, County representative, Dennis Stretch, District Agriculturist; Gordon Vooys, president; Edward Posein, secretary; Gordon Gore, vice-president; Ken Nelson, Art Northcott, Barry Corbeil, Garry McMorris and Tom Williams. The official opening of the Milo Seed Cleaning association started off with signing the guest book.The men received a cap while the ladies received a lovely red carnation. Around 12:00 the Milo Lions served a delicious barbecue beef dinner which they had prepared. Following this many went on guided tours while other roamed around themselves observing the plant. The weather cooperated so they could sit outside and visit. The ceremonies started at approximately 1:30 in the unloading area of the plant. The chairs were all taken and many looked on from the balcony. Tom Williams was the MC. He introduced three of the original board members and their wives, Con and Lil Peterson, Harvey and JulGokdin and Art and Marilyn Nelson. The present board members were introduced as well as the building committee. Many dignitaries were in attendance and each gave their congratulations to the committee and board members on the new plant. The dignitaries in attendance were: Keith Johnson, the Provincial representative of Seed Cleaning Plants; Lome Umscheid, Mayor of Milo, Grant Lahd, County of Vulcan representative; Barry McFarlane, Little Bow MLA; Gilbert Hartley, Regional 1 Director of Seed Cleaning Plants; Bob Nelson, Feild Crops and Alberta Agriculture Representative and Shane Seitz, CVS Contracting. James Will also thanked numerous people for all their help including Marilyn Posein, Sharleen Bushell, Doug Bushell, Ed Posein and numerous MIL0 SEED CLEANING ASSOCIATION LTD. other people from the community and Edmonton.

The heating has been shut off for a couple of months now so it feels chilly inside and out. The hot water in my flat is still on, but most of the other people I know have had theirs turned off. This is a standard thing for Moscow. Apparently they do this to flush the water system or something. Usually it is off for a couple of weeks but often that runs into a couple of months. So I am expecting that anytime now I will be heating it on the stove. Life here really is different and in many ways in a negative sense. But still God continues to pour out His grace upon me. When it rains hard and long, it is really a mess. There is really no option, if one has to go out in it, but to get drenched, head to toe. I have a good sized, sturdy umbrella and I am so happy for that, and I still get wet. Many of the people on the street seem to have inside-out umbrellas and they are small and not terribly water proof after the first 10 minutes. The drain pipes open onto the sidewalks and gushers of water flood pedestrians' feet. Also the sidewalks are often asphalt and have lots of dips and dives which fill with water. So imagine all the water that accumulates and then picture the filth, garbage and dirt mixed in with it. Most of the parks are devoid of grass, so when it rains, the dirt washes out on to the side walks and streets. Now imagine walking in hoards of people, trying to dodge puddles without poking anyone with your umbrella or getting poked by theirs. And of cours also imagine carrying heavy bags of groceries, and other necessities as an added bonus. In the midst of all this, the wind is blowing bitterly, and the cars speed along the street hitting potholes full of water, totally oblivious as to how many pedestrians they soak with muddy water. I have told you a lot about the crummy weather, but it can be equally as beautiful and warm and I really enjoy it. As a general rule, it isn't nearly as windy here as in Cochrane. You asked about meat and milk in the stores. In the little produce store near home I buy beef that is very tough as a rule, but it is cheap and I grind it up for hamburger. If I go to the market a couple of bus stops from home I can find anything I want - for more money, but good quality, except for chicken, which is extremely tough. I only buy it if I want to make chicken soup. Other meat available is beef - nice tender filet, pork- smoked or other wise, lamb and fish. The fish is not to my liking so I stick to common cuts of beef and pork. A Christian man from way up north in Siberia came to pick up books and presented me with 3 smoked fish, which were complete with heads, tails, fins.scales and guts. I filleted them and served them as apetizers to some Russians friends I was having in for dinner. No - I didn't eat any! Sweet milk is available but doesn't last long. And it is recommended that we boil it as the pasteurization process isn't great. So I usually buy the long-life stuff (UHT). It tastes reasonably good and stays sweet a long time. Because it is difficult to find, I stock up when I see it. Now that summer is here, most people have "country homes" where they go to plant gardens and tend fruit trees so they can preserve food for the winter. These country homes can be anything from shacks to quite nice homes. I have only seen them as I ride by on the train. Moscow empties out on the weekends. Since our Bible study is on Saturday, it has been hard hit, and I am planning to end it for the summer. Much, much love: Bettie P.S. The cost of international long distance phone calls from here doubled June 1st. Bad News!!!Milo Grads on to Senior High Friday, May 28, graduation banquet and exercises of the Milo Community School Grade 9's were held in the hall. The theme chosen was Facing the Future with decorations reflecting that theme. Everyone was welcomed by Mike Peterson, followed by singing of O' Canada, piano accompaniment by Carla Nelson. The blessing was given by Don Holmes. A delicious turkey supper, prepared by the PTA group, was served by the Grade 8 class. Introduction of the head table was given by Brady Nelson. Seated at the head table were the graduating class: Chris Bartsch, Wendell Calf Robe, Brad Bull Bear, Crystal Jones, Kyle Lahd, Colin Monner, Brady Nelson, Chris Nelson, and Mike Peterson. Colin Monner gave a toast to the parents, replied by Michael Monner. Moderator, Crystal Jones, called upon Brad Bull Bear to deliver the toast to the school staff with Judy Ashbacher responding. Rocky Wilson lead an interesting toast to the graduates. Greetings from the Village, the Board of Education, and Native Education were delivered by Lome Umscheid, Grant Lahd, and Mrs. Calf Robe respectively. Brenda McMorris, president of the PTA, assisted by Karen Forestell, presented the graduates with photo albums and scrolls. Chris Bartsch, representing the class, thanked them for the gifts and all their help in the past. Kyle Lahd introduced the guest speakers, Marilyn and Sandy Henry. Marilyn was unable to attend because of her surgery. In her absence, Sandy read a letter from Marilyn addressing each student individually. Sandy then shared some anecdotes about the graduates from his past experience with them and from information provided by the graduates and school staff. In conclusion he imparted some wise advice pertaining to setting, pursuing and achieving goals. On behalf of the graduates, a token of appreciation was given to Sandy by Chris Nelson. Principal Karen Forestell provided an entertaining slide show depicting the graduates through the years. Wendell Calf Robe lead the thank you to the kitchen crew.

Randy Gossen, representing the Alberta Ecotrust Foundation was on hand for the ribbon cutting ceremony, along with our MLA Barry McFarland, Superintendent of Schools John Darroch, Village of Milo Mayor Lome Umscheid and Principal Karen Forestell. Each one gave a small speech on the importance and relevance this project will have for the community as well as our environment. All students participated in the ceremony by doing environmental songs, skits and poems. The Jr. High created an environmental float. After the ribbon was cut, a mayonaise jar christened the trailer and everyone then symbolically placed recycled goods into the trailer.

Once again the Milo Lions Club sent their best to repre­sent them at the 4th Annual Fish Creek Lions Charity Eye Bank Classic Golf Tournament. However, due to some unforseen handicaps levied by the Fish Creek Club, after the domination of the 1991 tournament by Milo, and a lack of time to play a practice round to get the team they were unable to do better than a very close second. Some of these handicaps were: early A.M. long trying drive up to Calgary, as most others were from Calgary: Intense warm up due to short warmup time available: Constant badgering of the short skirted refreshment salesperson whose cart seemed to appear at every T Box: Frequent appearance of Camera people wanting pictures: Low fog setting in throughout the game. However, the team pressed on, maintaining the Milo Club's repu­tation for support of Lions projects and worthwhile charities, and finished very close to first place. After the tournament came a super banquet and prize presen­tation by Mike Lonsborough and 2 & 7 news, who continued the badgering by inflicting snide comments at the Mito Team, even though the team didn't even mention the grossly ugly purple shorts he wore (probably rejected by the Sally Ann). Then came the long trying ride h ome, late after a long day of severe pressure. In keeping with the Club's high profile of respectability the team utilized the D.D. system to ensure legal and safe return. To the Fish Creek Lions: Milo will return and conquer no matter what odds you present.BOOK TO THE FUTURE SUMMER READING PROGRAM AT MILO MUNICIPAL LIBRARY KIDS! Have some fim with us tiiis summer!

They also, however, did not rescind an earlier resolution to examine consolidation of all grades 8-12 (Option 4) in the county into CCHS for the 94-95 year and are further analyzing the cost savings from such a move. The following is a letter we have drafted to all board members. We feel that the savings generated by Option 4 will be actually quite small, and especially insignificant when weighed against other factors. As the Board of Education enters into its analysis of the savings of Option 4, we ask that you weigh the value of the savings against the following considerations: - Actual transportation costs - There will be increased transportation costs in getting these students to CCHS. Die province cut transportation grants 10% in the spring, and can you ignore the possibility of that amount increasing? - Possible capital costs in renovations to Hazel Cameron and CCHS to accommodate these additional students. - Analyze the savings in Option 4 of junior high and senior high programs separately - Impact on outlying communities economically and socially. We feel our sense of community would be threatened Our children would be taken away before they could develop a real sense of community of their own. - Impact on parents. We willingly devote a great deal of time and energy to our school. These contributions would diminish greatly because of the extra time and money necessary for similar commitment in another community. - Impact on children. Time is wasted traveling on the bus. Because of the long day expected from these students, their academic and home life would both suffer. Consequently no one gets the best child -neither the school nor the family. Many of the parents here made that long bus trip themselves for high school and surely they can judge better than anyone what it would be like to add more years of that There is also the loss of easy access to extra curricular activities. We feel students in outlying areas would be at a disadvantage because of distance. Is children's time not worthy of any consideration? -Milo Rural Initiatives School CommitteeC ^u8 /72/jL 0 y ma/ asr/cs Inis is the fourth and final part ot our Hilo Gym Club report. Next year's schedule looks like a pro­mising year. We hope to begin again in September for 15 weeks with as many lessons as possible before Christmas. John Wilkinson, our coach, has informed us that if at all possible he will be back but if not he shall give us the name of an equally qualified coach from the University to fill his position. We hope to have an registration meeting the end of August or first part of September, so please watch for the notices. This year, we also had the tram­poline and tumbling program and although we did have it last year, badges were award this year on the skill levels at which the kids could pass. Level I consists of basic tuck jump, pike straddle, jump, turns and knee, hands, seat drops. Level II offers skills similar to Level I only now they must be done in a con­tinuous routine such as hands knees to front drop, seat to 1/2 twist, 3 consecutive hand/knee drops and back drops. Level III has combination skills such as 1/2 turntable, roller airplane, front to back and back to front, cradle, cruise and cat twist, any of which are put into a routine. The children must also learn both safety and responsibilities that are involved with this course, as; they are trained both as a competitor and a spotter. The tumbling aspect of the course was incorporated with the] badge program as these skills are the same. Seeing as we will be plac­ing the kids in individual programs next year this situation could change. This year they were placed in Groups as follows: Group I participants were: Ashley Armstrong. Kimberly Armstrong, Ryan Deitz, Nicole Henry, Jessica Henry, Pamela Sukut, and Brett Wilson. Group II: Erin Monner, Melissa Robertson, Bobbi Hayden, Daniel Sukut, Janet Sukut, Gavin Vooys and Amanda Wiebe. Group III: Deb Auestad, Billy Godkin, Jana Godkin, Lacey Holoboff, Leanne Holoboff and Megan Vooys. We thank the children and their parents for a successful year and look forward to next year.NOTICE WANTED: Milo Community School is looking for an old fridge to put Science lab experiments in.

We let out the contract for paving on 804 (Brant). The gravel crew are still down in the south part of the county. If anyone is interested in that dust abatement they have to make their own arrangements. I have the phone number for them. The price has gone up this year. At our special school board meeting on June 21 not much was accomplished. No one on the board wants to be the first one to give up anything. We did decide that for the term of office of this present board, NO elementary school will be changed. The money crunch is not going to go away but closing down part of some of our schools is only part of the solution. A cost study of one of our schools was done and community aupport would have to be substantial if that was the way a group wanted to go. At this time I can only see higher taxes in order to maintain some sort of an acceptable system. This does not appear to the rate­payer group that has been formed and has good support on the west side of the county. Some tough times ahead for this school system, I think. Another special meeting is scheduled for the morning of July 12. Regular board meeting should start at 1 p.m. Sincere Sympathy^ The community sends their condolences to the family and friends of Ryan Stobo who passed away recently. He is the son of Robin and Louise (Gooch) Stobo. Condolences to the family and friends of Ed Kingsmith who passed away after a lenghty illness.

The new Legion bus has not yet arrived and the one we've been using is badly in need of new tires all around. Therefore we don't know yet if a bus will be available for Tuesday, July 13, Seniors day at the Calgary Stampede. However we have Kathy Sukut and Rod Armstrong who will take their own vans if we needboth of them. So if you're interested in doing some stampeding, call as soon as possible. You don't have to be a senior to go. In order to get to Calgary and take in all the "freebies", the bus will leave Milo at 7:30 a.m. leaving Stampede grounds about 5 p.m. Ya'all come now!

Here’s one little boy’s reply: “We spend Christmas with Grandma and Grand­pa. They used to live up north in a big house, but Grandpa retarded and they moved to Florida. “They live in a park with lots of other retarded people. They all live in tin huts. They ride tricycles that are too big for me. “They all go to a build­ing they call the wrecked hall, but it is fixed now. They all do exercise, but not very well. They play a game with big checkers and push them around on the floor with sticks. “There is a swimming pool, but I guess nobody teaches them—they just stand there in the water with their hats on. “My Grandma used to bake cookies for me, but nobody cooks there. They all go to restaurants that are fast and have discounts. “When you come into the park, there is a doll­house with a man sitting in it. He watches all day so they can’t get out with­out him seeing them. “I guess everybody forgets who they are be­cause they all wear badges with their names on them. Grandma says Grandpa worked hard all his life to earn his retardment. I wish they’d move back home, but I guess the man in the dollhouse won’t let them out.’’—Author UnknownVillage Oilice Hours: Tuesdays & Thursdays 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Phone [phone] Council requests that residents refrain from burning garbage and all garbage to be bagged.
