A bill is to be sent to him in the amount of $ 500.00 for a hookup fee along with the bill from Western Water & Sewer in the amount of $ 263.94.for supplies. A discussion was held in regards to the rates charged for the rental of the roto- rooter. Due to the fact that it requires two men to do a job, Council felt the rates should be increased. Councillor Hingley made a motion that the Village charge the following rates for the rental of the roto-rooter: $ 40.00 per hour with two (2) operators $ 25.00 per hour with one (1) operator $ 15.00 per hour without any operator $ 35.00 per day for out of town users. CARRIED. Council discussed the pet peeve in the last issue of the Can Opener in regards to the village installing water meters. A response will be sent to the Can Opener explaining the situation as it is clear the person writing the letter does not know all the details involved. Interested citizens should be aware they are welcome to attend any council meeting if there is something they would like to discuss or find out about. Terry Mullanger was in Milo last week and talked to Councillor Hingley and Bill Brown. In the meantime Council have talked to another engineer (McPherson — Thom) who would be interested in the project. Lynda Cyr has talked to Allan Pentney with Alta. Environment in Lethbridge, and he said Caru will not be the one to approve the project - it will be done thremghthe Lethbridge office. Allan Pentney said he has talked to Terry but wanted to make certain the Village was still dealing with him before any discussions. Mayor Umscheid will be talking to McPherson - Thom and the man who has the ozone equipment to see if they can work together. Council will meet on November 21 and make a definite decision then. A letter was received from the Rural Initiatives in regards to the Village having their name on the business directory at a cost of $ 40.00. Councillor Monner made a motion not to do this, as we are currently getting a new sign for the office. CARRIED.A letter was received, from the Village of Carmangay in regards- to the topic of • regionalization in and including the County of Vulcan. A steering committee is being formed in regards to this. Councillor Hingley offerred to go on the steering committee Lynda.Cyr is to contact Carmangay informing.them of this.

Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village of Milo approve the Revised Chinook Arch Library Board Levy on Schedule "B". CARRIED. Councillor Hingley presented Council with a condition analysis report and ministerial order information for Peter Dawson Lodge. The renovations will include repairing windows, hallways & doorways, replacing heating in some wings, installing a new alarm pad, replacing insulation and repairing the roof. The Government will be putting in $ 500,000.00 for this work. There has been enough money saved from cutbacks that the requisition will not raise. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village of Milo approve the borrowing for the balance of the money needed for the repairs. CARRIED. A letter is to be sent to Peter Dawson informing them of this approval. Mayor Umscheid moved that the Village of Milo support the Marquis Foundation formation of Marquis Foundation Management Body, effective January 1, 1995.consisting of representatives from the Villages of Carmangay, Arrowwood, Milo, Champion and Lomond and the Town of Vulcan and the County of Vulcan.

AT BLACKIE ODD FELLOW HALL,Dear Residents: . ' • Happy New Year to every one! Another year has gone by, and it's time to bring everyone up to date in regards to how the Village stands in regards to its finances and projects that are in the planning stage. • Numbers have been rounded off and are as of Dec. 31/94 and the numbers in brackets are those from Oct 92 when the present council took-office,' Cash in GlC's-$216,000 ' (TIO’OOO) " ' ' ' ' Cash in account - $10.000 0 0.000) $226,000 (120,000) We came in under budget in 1994 by $47,600, of this amount $25,000 was ear marked for capital projects which did not occur and $6,600 was alloted to reserve. But we were pleased that money budgeted for general operations were about $16,000 under our 94 budget estimates, (see following Budget sheet) Selling 2 new lots and with rental income from the RV Park has helped on the revenue side. A few projects were completed such as cleaning and sealing the water resevoirs, planting some trees and gener­ally doing more cleanup and maintenance around town with Bill working close to full time for the Village. The Dept of Environment is very satisfied with the the job Bill is doing in maintaining and keeping our drinking water and facilities up to the standards expected of municipalties. A big thank you to Bill for his conscientious work up there at the plant and also to Mr. Bill Brockway for so ably filling in part time. We had planned on having the water plant upgraded in 94, as it is just hanging together. Many parts of the plant are worn out, rusted up badly or simply outdated so a complete rebuilding is an absolute must. However, the project did not get off the ground, because the Engineer (Terry Mullinger) was absent and pretty much a no show all year. Because of this, we have had to aquire the services of another firm, who have had lots of experience in this size of systems. The upgrade will include new "gravity flow" filters, pumps inc. backup pumps, increased storage and possibly ozonation to sterilize the water, remove taste and odour and give us healthier water. Cost of this project could be as much as $350,000, of which the Villages share would be 25% or $87,500 with the Province picking up the remainder. This amount of support is going down as with most gov't grants, so it is important to get on with this project. Again, we need to install water meters as part of this program. The gov't is trying to promote water conservation, eliminate waste and make this a user pay society, so they will cut our grant money from 75% to 65%; therefore the extra cost to the village would be about $35,000, which would take the Village's cost of the project from $87,500 up to $122,500. For the average homeowner, you will not be paying more for your water. By eliminating waste of water, you should find your water bill being even less than now. Also on the list is to take advantage of the Streets Improvement Program which runs out in 95. The Village has been approved for work up to $120,000 of which our share is $30,000. With this we can pave a number of streets, add sidewalks where required and do repairs to existing ones. There is also $24,000 in infrastucture money to be used of which our share is $8,000. With this money we have been renovating the Village office, installing a computor, and possibly building a year round RV Park, with trailor dump site, north of the Lions park. Total cost of these projects would be $494,000 with our share at $125,500. With expected surplus revenue of $35,000 - $40,000, we should still be able to complete these projects and have $135,000 to $141,000 left in the bank, at the end of the year (without any tax increases).

If they stay in Vulcan after 60 days no more allowance. The two people who worked for the school board and the county of Vulcan, and who are now totally employed by the new board received their sick days pay and their holiday pay. Having worked for the county for a good number of years these payments were substantial. However they are perfectly legal and it is the only right they receive what they are entitled to. After working on the our budget for 1995 it is pretty obvious some cuts have to be made. Government grants to the county are a lot less than before. For example we have to eliminate one road grader position. All remaining graders will have to cover more miles now. However we are considering designating some roads as being '’seasonal" roads. Summer use only, thus less maintenance, no snow plowing. Ratepayers may not have an equally good road going both directions from their farm gates. With hundreds of thousands of dollars in government cuts we can see no alternative. Less service will be the result of these cuts. Some poor quality roads and trails may be abandoned and the adjacent farmers will be able to farm them to keep the weeds down. The purchase of several 1V2 ton trucks was postponed, although budgeted for, until the ones on hand break down. I don’t agree with this as the 2 in question have several hundred thousand km on them. Employees have to get their work done and they need a vehicle to do so. Quick buys usually cost more, I think, Time will tell how this works out Grant Lahd Councillor Division 7COUNTY COUNCIL County of Vulcan No. 2 Chairman — J. E. Carlson Municipal Committee: C. VV.

Tom Bateman Southern Alberta, especially the western part,, is famous for its Chinook winds I never d id. believe all the Johnny''Chinook stories that old time prevaricators told about c h i n o o k s , a n d h o r s e s p 1 o u g h i n g through snow and sleighs dragging in the mud. We did however live in the chinook belt. Wind was part of our daily lives. I can still spot a wind fighter from that part of Alberta because the muscles in his east leg are more developed than his other one. His hat or cap is pulled down so hard his ears stick straight. The wind blew everyday. The only question was how hard would it blow, or what velocity would be acheived that day. Many times wind velocity has been recorded in excess of 100 mph. The area was a paradise for Russian Thistle and tumble weed. In later years, we used to see the old Roscoe steel grain bin, or an outhouse bouncing along in the middle of the tumble weeds. The summer of 1948 was hot, dry and windier than usual. Our neighbors, the Adys, laboured for several weeks getting their hay collected in one large neatly arranged stack. They were putting the finishing touches on this product of their efforts when it somehow caught fire and they lost it all. I watched the blaze late into the evening until the novelty and excitement wore off. The haystack smoked for a week or so then became a silent charred reminder of the blaze and the resulting destruction of several weeks work. Three months later we were awakened during the night by the sound of one of our windy specials. The wind was really cranked up and the gusts shook our house. An eery glow caused me to look out the bedroom and all I could see was fire. The wind had apparently found a pocket of live sparks in the burned rubble and had blown them onto some dry grass and the fire was away. This time it would only stop when it ran out of something to burn. By the time we woke up THE WIND it- had already burned Across our meadow and right up to the shore of our marsh. Other neighbors lost haystacks and some corrals. At*3:00 in the morning waking' up to a world on fire was a terrifying experience. Our mArsh saved us from, certain disaster. The wind dropped off at daylight and pockets of fire were extinguished by many neighbors who assembled themselves in.a cooperating army determined to battle as long and as hard as was required. Fire was always on the minds of the old timers. They told stories of fires in- years past that had travelled great dis­tances at speeds faster than a saddle horse could run. The longer the time span the bigger the fire. The October 1948 fire was the first prairie fire I had ever seen, although I have seen and fought several since. The wind which ordinarily was something to tolerate and plan activities around, became a deadly enemy when a fire was burning. An old timer told me about his chickens going down badger holes to escape a fire that swept through his homestead. Two of my school mates, whose names shall remain anonymous because they still haven't confessed, were hunting gophers near their farm. The gopher population was high but they were unsuccessful due to crude techniques. They became frustrated with their failures so decided a new approach was needed. A western movie they had seen a couple of weeks earlier had shown the hero dislodging the villain from a cave by smoking him out. If it would work on a villain why not a gopher? We are still not sure if it worked on gophers but nine sections of grass got burned off in spec­tacular fashion. My friends were very subdued for several weeks and had to carry a cushion to school so they could sit at their desks. Wind was a great ally when we were hunting. It caused waterfowl to move to the leeward side of any protection and it also covered any sound I might make while sneaking into shotgun range of the vulnerable birds. A good brisk wind sometimes made other work too difficult so we looked forward to real windy days because we could spend the time (continued next page) (continued from previous page) hunting. Winds of 70 -100 miles per hour were also common during the winter. Sometimes after a snowfall and a period of cold weather, • the wind would sweep in from the southwest, causing a ground blizzard that has to be experienced to be appreciated. Dust storms were common but they were tame compared to the light fluffy snow propelled by winds of the velocity mentioned earlier. I was checking the muskrat traps on our marsh in late February 1950, when one of these ground blizzards caught me about half a mile from home. The marsh was frozen of course, and covered with hundreds of muskrat houses. When the blizzard hit I couldn't see five feet and could only guess where I was by knowing the wind was from the south west. The wind was too strong to permit walking on the ice so my best bet was to move from one muskrat house to another. After what seemed like a long time I came to the north shore which should have been less than 100 yards from our house. Nothing was familiar. The marsh was frequently a friendly place and I knew every square foot of her except I didn't recognize the place where I hit the north shore. I reluctantly turned into the wind. The snow hurt when it hit my face. After almost an hour of wrestling my way through bulrushes and cat­tails I came to the place where the creek left the marsh. I knew exactly where I was and followed a fence the remaining 1/4 mile to our house. The north shore I couldn't recognize was really the east shore. For some reason the wind was coming from the northwest instead of the southwest. It never occurred to me that I wouldn't find my way home. However the experience really served me well in later years when I got lost in the bush, the mountains, the prairies, and every city I've ever visited. -Congratulations to Janice Ben- rand on winning the Governor General’s bronze medal for the highest standing on the grade nine exams in 1954. She was the top student both in the County of Vul­can and the McLeod school divi­sion. The community should be very proud of their students. This is the second year when the bronze medal has been won by a Milo student. Kenneth Monner was the winner last year.

QinRA/AI VC m PAMIMn: , * »ru_i v xii xv-4; IN THE VILLAGE OF MILO TENDERS MUST BE RECEIVED IN THE VILLAGE OFFICE NO LATER THAN JAN 13/95Jr. Curlers Do Milo Proud The 6th Annual Ray Kingsmith High School Memorial Bonspiel was held in Calgary at the Westwinds Curling Club Dec! 28th-30th. Three teams from Milo participated in the 32 rink bonspiel. The girls team consisting of Jennifer Bartsch, Tammy Bushell, Erin Monntjr, and Morgan McMorris (coached by Doug Bushell) won their first three games, putting them in the "A" Event final against the Jody McNabb rink from Red Deer. They were curling for $2500.00 in prizes (4- $500.00 scholarships and cash). They lost that game, but were very happy to make it as far as they did considering their age and experience. The rink of Chris Bartsch, Quentin Brauer, Laine Hendricks, and Nathan Phillips (coached by Lloyd Deitz) finished fourth in the "A" Event. Chris Nelson's rink, consisting of Chris, Peter Wyatt, Josh Umscheid, and Jim Godkin (coached by Lome Umscheid) won the MB" Event. There was some very good curling during those three days as many Milo fans will attest to. This Bonspiel is an excellent Jr. 'Spiel, with many sponsors providing the kids with pins, sweatshirts, a "social" one evening and the scholarship prizes. Awards were given out by the Kingsmith family members, and so it was nice to see some Milo kids receiving those awards. Both boys teams qualified out of Fort Macleod to earn a birth in the Jr. Boys Southern Alberta Playdowns in Lethbridge Jan. 6th-8th. Three teams will qualify from there and go on to Dawson Creek for the Alberta Playdowns. Good Luck to our Boys!! The 3 teams are also entered in the Interme­diate Jr. District 1 Playdowns in Medicine Hat on Feb.3rd-5th. Qualifiers from there will go on to the Southern Alberta Playdowns in Irricanna in March. Good Luck to all the curlers!!

Very pretty Christmas.'cards were ■ • made from old cards that were donate! to us and then were given out to loved ones. On December 12 th., a night of bowling and a pizza supper was enjoyed with the groups from Vulcan and Champion. This was called a winter Rally and it is nice for the girls to get together with other packs. The following week the girls made some sweet little paper angels to take home. It was a little cool on Dec. 21, but the lack of snow was made up for with the girls enthusiasm as they sang carols to as many homes in town as they could fit in. Unfortunately we couldn’t stop everywhere but we enjoyed the smiles of those we did stop at, as they opened their doors and heard us. Pamela’s Mom, Kathy sent us out that day with hot dogs and we returned to the school to enjoy hot chocolate and popcorn. It was sure good !! We look forward to beginning our meetings again in January and to a new year!! Happy New Year everyone !!

In 1994, we borrowed 70 books from other libraries in the Chinook Arch System and lent 56 of our titles to other libraries. To date, only Lethbridge and a few other libraries have been on the online catalog of system titles. We should see inter-library borrowing dramatically increase as the rest of us go online and we can "browse other libraries shelves" on computer.

When I was three or four, mum would drive south across the field to where Mrs. Hornberger was camped at the north end of the Hudson Bay section, "Marvins Land”, to play with Bud who oirSn say'why r °f Httle C°ltS at hiS Camp' We -ve/got hu^t but no hLwIpv h^d.good horses and well bred ones, mostly Clydesdales and some £ foH : J d ^as rry fUSSy ,When lt came to his horses. They always had to be fed and watered year round and well groomed before being harnessed. The harness had to be just so, every strap in place and not a twist'in any part o the harness that touched the horse. His teams were often matched as close as possible for both speed, size and colour. Being of one breed, this was not usually too hard to do. He was usually in the field pulling an 8 foot double disk, a 8 1/2 foot cultivator or drill or rod weeder. We drove six horses abreast or side by side. We always drove the second and fifth two horses with the centre two on cross check with the two on the outside and what we called a jockey stick. This was a piece of wood or light pope or rod about five feet long with a snap on each end. This would be fastened to the horse that was driven in hames and the other end to the outside fr^fho1^' Those kept thf outside horse at least two or three feet away from the horses you were driving. The horse on the jockey stick was also tied back to the driving horse with a check to keep them all even. A good team of horses driven right were usually all even and each pulled his share or the implement. When hauling grain we usually used a two and two or a four horse hitch. In fv,g?°d !ea? team was a must* plowin9 wo usually used a double bottom gang that cut 28 inches or a triple bottom disk plow that cut 30 inches. We used six or seven horses at four in the wheel and two or three in the lead f™?,-pe2p3e dad biggfr plows and drove up to eight or nine horses all on equalized hitches. Only hauling grain did they use solid hitches and it was up to the driver to make sure all were doing their part. Bei^\raiSed n<!aF where Mr* Chambers lived, he was one of my idols. He had good horses and big ones. I don’t know how he lost his leg but for as long as I knew him, he had a crude looking stump. He always seemed to drive the same team, a pair of big Bays. I can recall when we were kids going to the Lomond Agricultural Fair which was a big event in those days. Mr. Chambers had entered his team in the pulling contest. The wagon was filled with something like 3 ton of coal. Two holes were dug for the back wheels to set in right up to the axels. The object was for the team to try and pull the load out of the hole and ten feet ahead. Now this was no easy load for a S i very few ever did it but this time Mr. Chambers had his team hooked on the wagon for the first time. Well the team took a slight pul 1 and backed up a little. The judge went to unhook the traces. Well Mr. Chambers, being my idol anyway, let out a yell at that judge that would have froze most men and in no uncertain terms, told him off. When he said c1?. his, t?am' tbey utterly lifted that wagon up ans speedily pulled tLJa Sf-th^u bole* 1 don t think anyone ever had a team of horses at the Lomond Fair that ever out-pulled Mr. Chambers' two Bays. Other men who had good horses were Mr. Eagle, Clarence Dwight, Leo Herman, Beiiett^^o^v^^J1^^01^011 a!?d stancil Chambers. Others like the Bennett s, Donly s and Hornbergers drove all colours, all shapes usually not too fat, in most cases, they were almost herded, not driven, usually nocross check but bit to bit. That let a horse go a way out ahead of the others or he kind depended on the horses hitching not the drivers, in other words just steer them straight and hope for the best. After Mr. Chambers kind of left the scene I used to watch my Dad, He was careful and fussy so I took irvy lead from him, I always liked my team to match and look clean and the harness the same way. I know at harvest time when strangers used to drive some of my teams I got in to some very embarrassing moments for my Dad when I tried to tell some of his threshing crew how to look after a team of horses. Imagine a ten or twelve year old kid telling a grown up man how to drive a team and I am sure it was right most of the time. But when it came to getting everything out of a horse, Stancil Chambers could do it. If he drove a six horse team abreast, he drove the center team and the other four were on jockey sticks. When he hauled grain which he did a lot of in the winter, he drove two and two in a four horse hitch. He always had an extra long line that he could snap up between ears of the leaders with a bang. When he spoke the horses jumped. Like Irvin Kunkel used to say, "Stancil could stop on the elevator driveway in the winter with a 125 bushel tank on the sleigh, where there was no snow, just bare land. When Stancil said "Get up", he was sure the front end of the sleigh jumped up at least four inches and in they went." Stancil was a hard man on horses, you may say a little on the cruel side but on the other hand, he always fed well, never drove a horse with a sore shoulder, never drove a thin horse. A lot of farmer's horses were thin and old and had sore shoulders etc. Maybe he was not so cruel--who was to judge. Better to be well looked after and have to work than to be poorly cared for and do the work anyway. My brother, Bill, was a good horseman. He drove a team in the field for years, hauled a lot of grain and bundles. When it came to caring for his livestock, he was one of the best. He didn't care to dress his teams up quite as I did but he could stay with the best of them. But with the coming of the second World War in 1939, man power was short and horses were being replaced with the tractor. We got our first tractor in 1941 and kept a six horse team for a few years. When the war was over, we had only four. When Dad moved to Vulcan, he took his team with him and used them on the town garbage for a couple of years till the town went to a truck. With the passing of the horse power, a part of history went. May be good, may be not so good. Never had a gas bill, never had a repair bill, no starter fluid. Just a bucket of oats and a bale of hay. A horse was a faithful friend, a good provider and one who would never let you down.It's Your Money by: John W. Shield . 1-800-761-9333 Issue No. 03, January 1995 INVESTORS GROUP Why are Canadians "in love" with Mutual Funds ? In order to achieve financial independence, not only must you work for your money, but your money must work for you. That means building wealth through a lifelong program of investing your savings profitably. More Canadians than ever before are turning to mutual funds. Canadians have now invested more than $130 billion in mutual funds. What makes mutual funds so popular? A national survey reveals why investors find them so attractive: • Long-term growth potential; an excellent way to save for long-term financial goals like planning for retirement, saving for children's education and buying a family home. • Higher rate of return than interest-bearing vehicles over the long term, especially since interest rates dropped below their historic highs. • Security through diversification of investments through professionally-managed funds. • Diversification, both through a variety of funds and through self-contained portfolio funds. • Lower taxes thanks to the advantages of capital gains and dividend income. As well, Canadians are becoming more sophisticated in their personal financial planning. They're more comfortable with the flexibility and professional management offered by mutual funds. Today there's a mutual fund for virtually every investor, no matter how big or small. The Secret is Time, Not Timing Markets move in cycles, as do most mutual funds. When you buy is not important, the only sure way to profit from any investment is to be in it for the long-term. The magic of compounding is then on your side. Don't be distracted by short-term market fluctuations. Solid, well-managed funds generally grow in value over the long term. Using the power of Dollar Cost Averaging you improve your return, because you will automatically buy more shares when the market is down and fewer shares when the market is up. This results in the best possible cost per share ratio overall, unless of course you have a crystal ball.

Brownies will become only a two year program. In order for girls to get a few extra years in Girl Guides, many areas are starting up a Sparks program. This is designed for girls five and six years of age. They essentially have a fun time and their motto is “To Share and be a friend.” For every five girls, a leader is needed. There will be a day of training in Standard at the end of January. If you are at all interested in helping with this program, please contact Monica Monner at 599-3790. It is very rewarding personally, to spend time with young people. JANUARY is WINTER FASHION CLEARANCE MONTH * J. J. X A. A A WATCH FOR EKCHTICNAL VALUES THROUGHOUT THE STOKE.

"It was a sad way to die," he said, " but he sure had a beautiful finish." © Our two girls were being baptized when the oldest was five. I told Louise about the baptism service and what would happen to her prior leaving for the church. At the church, we walked into the ministers office, where she announced, "Hi ! My name is Louise, and I'm here to be advertized so that God knows my name." A couple were very frugal shoppers and always bought the in-store specials and purchased mostly generic products. When their five-year old was asked by great-grandma what was her new baby sisters'name, she replied, " She doesn't have a name, I guess she's a no-name baby." A youngster visiting his Grandmother soon after his Grandfather passed away,asked her," Grandma, doesn't it get lonely by yourself?" She replied,"Yes, it sure does."
