Lynda Cyr said she had a phone call from the Infrastructure Office in Edmonton asking the Village to resubmit the project for the remainder of the siding on the office building. There is a good possibility it will be accepted now. She said the forms have been sent in. A village citizen has stated concerns in regards to the paving program as he is wanting to sell his property and have an open house in September. The paving is to commence on September 11/95 - weather permitting - and they will try to work that area to accommodate his open house. If the paving is not done, he would like a letter saying the street will be changed and sloped to handle normal weather conditions of this area, excluding extreme thunderstorms or downpours that may occur. Council are in agreement with this. Council read and discussed the agreement between the Village of Milo and Alsa Paving. Councillor Hingley made a motion that the agreement be signed and sealed by Village officials. CARRIED. Three copies of the lease between the Village of Milo and Palliser Regional Division No. 26 for the area used by the Milo Municipal Library at the MiloCommunity School were signed and sealed. One copy is for the Village and the other two are to be returned to Palliser. A letter is to be sent to the Milo Library informing them of this. The Village received a letter from the Returning Officer for the Palliser Regional School Division requesting joint election procedure for a school board member if necessary. They would cost share on the election expenses, and the Village would have the power and responsibilites necessary to conduct the vote. This would include advertising, election personnel, election material, facilities and ballots. Councillor Monner made a motion that the Village conduct a joint election with the Palliser Regional School Division if necessary. CARRIED.

Lynda Cyr is to contact Tom Goulden from the Oldman River Regional Planning Commission and ask him to come to our October meeting. Lynda Cyr is to check with the government in regards to the grants that are available for the water treatment plant project and paving program. She is also to phone Lee Maher Engineering about two items in the Water Treatment Plant Specifications. The first one is the amount of the bottom line cost and also about the performance bonds. The Water Treatment Plant Specifications were read and discussed. These were then signed and sealed with two copies to be returned and one kept for the Village's copy. The bill from Marks Oilfield for the work they did on the streets was discussed. Council decided to pay this holding back 15% until such time as Council, Mr. Marks and Alsa Paving can meet when the project is completed. Mayor Umscheid said that $ 5,000.00 is to be transferred from the Recreation Board Account to the Bike Path Account. The Recreation Board had agreed to donate this amount to the bike path.

I met the four new councillors at our first meeting on Wednesday. It will be interesting getting to know them and listening to new ideas. Being a councillor when money is tight is a lot harder now. As the Alberta Advantage takes place and the fall out comes down to our level (County) we learn pretty fast what it really means. It means less money. Less money means one of two things: less work can be done or local ratepayers have to be taxed in order to supply the same services. It seems to me the grid road system we now have may have to be modified in to something we can afford. I don't have the figures right now, but only about 1/2 of the road allowances in the county are "developed". Most of us can come to our gate and turn either left or right on a gravel road. Can we afford this now? It is my personal belief that we don't need roads every mile or two. This system worked great when there were farm families on every 1/2 section or so. When large blocks of land are owned by one family, I don't feel every quarter mile needs gravel road access. If this present system is what people want taxes will have to rise a fair bit. There are several roads leading up to the reserve boundary. • Why do we need road allowances there? I think the adjacent land owners should have the land back. Another example is the forced road east of Queenstown. The three miles on the east end could be abandoned and returned to the sections of land it was taken from. These are examples only but what do you ratepayers think of less roads? You may have to drive more miles to get to your farm land but the alternate is the Alberta Advantage. Which is - pass the need for higher taxes down to the next level of government. Most of our roads are about forty years old except for the ones rebuilt since the county was formed. There is no way the county could ever rebuild all our roads again. What do the ratepayers think of these road closure abandonment ideas? When I get some figures I may be able to tell you what it costs to maintain a mile of road for a year. At the present time the Alberta Government is reluctant to close road allowances but as local government get more control we may be able to close some anyway. If we can't afford to maintain them and they are not used why have them? These are my opinions and are notofficial County Council plans. Grant Lahd.

A country that was almost devastated, a proud almost starving population who would not give in to any force. We were told by several of the older generation that they had to eat tulip bulbs, there were no cats, dogs or birds, they had all been eaten. The roads were very poor, the bridges over the rivers were completely destroyed and a good part of the land was under water due to the dykes being blown up. This was a country that had been brought all most to its knees. All they had to live for was hope! TLE <SEt?MANS STOLE OUQ ECOD, T-HE CANADIANS OoG UeAOT ^ ~ --- *_____Bi What a surprise, Holland today was in full bloom , highways of the best to be found anywhere - from one to six lanes, road with over passes, traffic circles, bridges on all rivers, electric trains to get you any where you want to go as well as busses to all parts of the country. There is also a lot of boat traffic not to forget the thousands of bicycles. Yes, the bikes have their own roads and lights at intersections. The bikers do not wear helmets, they just go like the devil was after them. Bike riders seem to have no fear of traffic and they have very few accidents, why I don't know. On arrival in Holland, we were met with such a welcome. Everywhere we went it was 'Welcome Again Veterans'. The Dutch people really know how to put on such a party. After a short stay at the Airport we went by bus to Zwolle to once again be given a very warm welcome. Here we met our host family Johan and orrie Barneveld, a wonderful couple. They were perfection in every way. We also met several of the Zwolle welcome committee. When we arrived at Johan and Corrie's home a large Canadian flag and a Welcome Again Veterans flag was flying. They presented these to usas a present when were left for home. We were fortunate to be in the same area as a member of the Welcome Again Committee, Jan and Klaasje Dussel. Jan was the treasurer. Our host family had a very neat compact condo type home with every thing for perfect family living. They had a large dinning-sitting room with a television but no too much furniture. The kitchen had a deepfreezer with a fridge on top of it. They have no ovens just four top burners. There were no cupboards just shelves. The steps were very steep going upstairs. In the bathroom they had a shower surrounded by a curtain. The toilet had a leaver that you pulled from above. They had a little spin washer and no dryer. There were four bedrooms up stairs. Their house was very homey but plain. The homes were very cold but warm with hospitality to us Canadians. For the next.four days we took part in unorganized events.a farmers market, and old fashioned cart race, a tour of an old Catholic church and Tattoos much the same as is held in Lethbridge each year. There were six bands taking part, mostly Canadian. We went to Keukenhof, the tulip (bulb) capital of the world. The park covers 76 acres with over six million different bulbs and flowers. There was an adjoining field of 40 acres of just tulips, a most unbelievable sight one will never forget. Audrey & Gordon at Keukenhof On Monday May 1st we took the train to Amsterdam, where we spent the day touring the canals by boat. There are over 1200 bridges on the canals in Amsterdam, we also saw the famous house that Anne Frank lived in and several places that I remembered from fifty years ago. Audrey and I and our host family walked down the same street as I did fifty years ago after Amsterdam was liberated. I was with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada, we were the first regiment to go into Amsterdam. We were stationed there for a month. Starting Tuesday, May 2, the Welcome Veteran program began. All trips were by bus. Every morning eight or nine buses left Zwolle with fifty Canadians on board each one. This was deluxe travel. First we were off to Orvette, a small farming village where we looked through an open market then toured the farm by horse and wagon. Our next stop was to the Westerbork Concentration Camp. Here thousands of Jews and gypsies were held till they were sent to Germany and Poland to the gas chambers, a very sad place with same very unbelievable stories. How any one could be so cruel! At Westerbrork Concentration camp The pile of rocks is the end of the line. The camp was 400 acres in area and built to hold 2000. Over 20,000 people were forced to stay there. Every Tuesday morning a train pulled in and people were herded into the box cars like cattle to go to "the Promised Land". In all ninety three trains made this trip.The next day we went to an Air Show at Teugen. There were many of the old planes taking part.the Lancaster bombers and the Spitfires stole the show. Thursday we were off to the war cemetery at Holten. Here lies 1400 Canadian service men. A beautiful place, well kept and so peaceful as are all the Canadian Cemeteries in Holland. Never was I more proud to be a Canadian when the school children of Holten sang and recited a poem "You Brave Sons Of Canada". On every grave a school child placed a small wreath of flowers. This is a tradition that every school in Holland does every year on May 5, where there is a Canadian cemetery, the students place a wreath of flowers and on Christmas Eve they place a lit candle. They don't forget the liberation, it is a must to remember! Canadian Cemetery at Holten That evening we went to a silent memorial service in memory of the many thousands of Dutch people who lost their lives in the war. It was quite a sight, not a sound and everything was so perfeet. from the march past by the Dutch Mariners of which Jan and Johan are members to the wreath laying at the memorial. One could almost hear a pin drop, there were over ten thousand people at the service. On V.E. Day, May 5, a complete holiday, Canadian runners lit the flame at City Hall. There were many events to be remembered from fifty years ago at City Hall, in a large tent filled with Canadian memorabilia, old war songs being sung and a fire work display were held in the evening. Many sad but happy moments. A young couple came up to us and asked me if they could sake my hand and gave me a hug and thanked me for being here fifty years ago. A young Dutch girl came up and gave me a big hug and kiss and thanked me for being one of the liberators and said 'I too have an anniversary to celebrate next month. It is my 50th birthday'. I said to her 'Thank God it's not your 49th, I'd have some explaining to do'. With that she laughed and walked away. These are only two of the incidents of people coming up to us. There were numerous people who would come up and bow to us or kiss our hands and hug us and thank us for liberating them. Old and young alike did this with true emotion. On Saturday we were off to the Groesbeek Cemetery which was about three times larger than Holten. Here there were many V.I.P.s including the Queens representative and Canadian government officials to take part in the wreath laying ceremonies. Lots of top brass! Canadians were brought here from all over Holland in over 200 buses. On Sunday we attended the parade at Apeldorn. It was a real hot day with over 6000 veterans taking part. The parade route was over two miles long with over half a million people to greet us. In the parade I never shook so many hands and was given so many hugs and flowers. The parade took over two hours. After the parade an elderly veteran told us he was walking in the march and anelderly woman came up to him, kissed all his metals then cried and walked away. As he told us this we all cried because this day was filled with true emotion that could be seen on all the faces of the Dutch peop1e. Wreath Laying Ceremony at Holten Cemetery. Gordon and RCMP officers Monday,May 8 was our last full day in Holland. We went by train to Hampar, a small Dutch town across the Isile River. To get there we crossed over a very old draw bridge that opened up for boat traffic. Monday night the Dutch welcoming committee put on a farewell party in the Convention Centre in Zwolle for all of the Veterans and their wives. What a party! These people really went all out with an excellent program in both Dutch and English. In the Convention Centre there were rooms maned after three different Generals.Crerar, Simmons and Kitchener, one Private.Private Shorty of the CWAC (Canadian Woman Army Corp) and one Corpora 1 . Corpora 1 Gordon Lucas. I was surprised and honoured to have a room named after me. We were very fortunate to be with such a great group of Dutch Zwolle Welcome Again Veterans Committee, we were treated like we were royalty. Our hosts Johan and Corrie Barneveld along with their two neighbours, Jan and Klassia Dussel and Bert and Carine Meester and families made our 'coming back' one of the most memorable and happy holidays we have ever had. We were with them when ever there was a spare time to be had. They also put on a heck of a supper for us the night before we left. These were just super people that we are pleased to call our ’Dutch Friends’ . It would be great if we in Canada would put all thoughts aside on November 11 at 11:00 am to pause briefly for a moment of silence to remember those young men and woman who rest in far off lands, who gave their all for what we in Canada take for granted "FREEDOM". . .

Often dejected by the society he swore to protect. He gives his all. His armour protects him from the enemies arrows A dulled conscience from the arrows of . the masses He is hardened to the act of killing his fellow man Yet soft for a fallen brother in arms, a child's tear. He is not without guilt. Burned by the everlasting flame of memory Thought of as a herd, or an evil being He has shed tears, for commrades, Loss of love and the innocent. A thousand times he asks WHY ? He is a son, a brother, a Father. He is a man Yet is often treated as sub human He kills not of his mind But rather for the minds of his society Which hurts more, the wounds of battle, Or the wounds of words? Inflicted not to the body But to the heart and mind. He is of the warrior class Separate and distinct. He became what he is To protect and preserve his society. He has answered the call to take up arms To take life or lose his own. He is not a mercenary, to accept blood money. But instead, he fights for ideals. His pay is small, his task is large, He appreciates the few that appreciate him For what he is,what he does Stereotyped and labelled. He can only accept what his society does to him. And yet he is assured to pay the greatest price He does not wish to go to war But would rather avoid it. If called to fight, he will. He must, it's his duty. He has given his word. What is this soldier? A MAN He can care, feel, love and hate. He can be warm, kind, gentle and cruel He is simply, A MAN. --- Auther Unknown Raymond and Dorothy Jones (nee Beckner) of Cranbrook B.C. celebrated 60 years of marriage Saturday October 7 at Cranbrook Alliance Church.

BY LARRY UMSCHEID Churchill is Canada's most northern deep water seaport (40 ft deep) at 58' North latitude. It still ships four to six boat loads of grain a year from July till November. In July, Churchill hosts the largest congregation of Beluga whales of anywhere in the world. When the ice goes out of the Hudson Bay and Churchill river, these whales migrate into the warmer river to calve. This area is also a birdwatchers paradise, with some 200 species of migrating birds nesting and hatching in the area. The most important attraction to this area in October is the Polar Bears. There is 44 species of tundra animals that raise their young in this area, but the Polar Bear is most popular. These bears move south along the Hudson Bay in summer, as the ice leaves the bay, and raise their young in the Taigo or Boreal forest area south of Churchill. The bears quit eating and live off their fat from late July till the ice forms on the Bay and they can hunt seals again. This is the time they move back to the coast area, and congregate waiting for the ice. This is Show Time . Tundra Buggies built 7 feet off the ground (10 feet to the windows) take visitors over muskeg and rock 27 miles east of Churchill to a point where the main group o bears start congregating. As these bears haven't eaten for 2 or 3 months they are not too active, but are still very dangerous as they have no natural enemies. With the Tundra Buggy you can drive right in amongst them and they are not afraid. They even come up and stand against the vehicle or move amongst them. They do not run away. Another interesting part of this trip is the Polar Bear Jail. There is a 20 cell jail inside a steel building specifically for the bears. If they wander too close to town before the ice forms on the bay they are trapped and held in detention until the ice forms. To add more interest you can view a plane wreck just before the end of the runway at the airport. A C46 plane owned by Lambair crashed in 1979, and the wreckage is still there. Also a ship once owned by Mussaline went aground in 1961. The M.V.Ithaca is just east of the Churchill river entrance. The Fort Prince of Wales, across the river from Churchill was started in 1731 and completed in 1782 by the French, and burnt inside and left. There is also a missile launching sight just outside of Churchill. This is a wonderful experience, and while we were there we met people from all parts of the world, who agree this is truly one the greatest attractions in the world. Whether you are a whale watcher, bird watcher, bear watcher or just plain fauna and flora. Churchill is a must to visit!

They stopped in at a plumbing store and were pricing out different shower stall units. They were looking at one large roomy unit,noticing that it was pretty pricey, when the mother turned to check on 2 year old Joey. She saw a pair of legs sticking out of a long row of toilets. The Dad saw him too, but said, 'He's probably just wetting it a little." "No," said the mother,"Boys don't stand when there is business to do." "Well,"said Dad,"I'll distract the salesman if you will attend the job at hand." Needless to say, the couple bought the expensive model.

School News The school is gearing up for the Hallowe'en Carnival on Tuesday afternoon. The Jr. High will be running 10 stations in the gym that the elementary students will be going to, and the Grade 9 class have set up a maze on the Stage the Haunted House in the basement. Students wearing a costurme will be given 10 free tickets to use at the Carnival and every food bank item that students bring will give them another 5 tickets to use. The Jr. High are busy writing the annual Christmas Production play, with several great ideas being batted around. Please mark Dec. 7th, 7:00pm on your calendar. On Nov. 7th, the grade 9 class will be going to Lethbridge to participate in the P.A.R.T.Y. Program (Prevent Accident Related Trauma in Youth). This will be the first year the students have gone to Lethbridge instead of Calgary for this program. It is sponsored by the Milo Parent- Teacher Group. Education Week is from Nov. 13th-17th and the theme for this year is "Celebrating Success". To honor this week, the school will be hosting a variety of events.

Watch for posters with more details. The school will be hosting a Remembrance Day Ceremony on Thursday, Nov. 9th at 10:45 am. Everyone Welcome!!!BROWNIE NFWS October has been a busy month for the First Milo Brownies. They had lots of fun and also learned some really neat things while “camping overnight” at The Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. In the labs, museum staff showed the girls how to piece together bones and also how they actually “dig” up bones. They were treated to a magician and learned a new dinosaur song. Although they were placed under a scary looking flying dinosaur replica, they had a good nights sleep!! The next day found them visiting the Guzoo, north of Three Hills. Lots of animals were admired and a weiner roast enjoyed. At one meeting in October where the weather co-operated, lots of tun was had playing” following the leader” on the walking / bike path. It was nice to not have to watch for traffic. This last week in the month, books were taken to the Drop-In Centre and exchanged for the Milo Library and back to the school where a Halloween party was held. Thanks go to Amy Northcott and Jennifer Monner who painted some ghoulish faces on the girls! Cupcakes and ice-cream from Michele’s Mom, Laurie were appreciated. The girls will be seen carrying flags at the Rememberance Day ceremony at the school on November 9th. See you there ! Brown Owl Evangelical lutheran Women held at 2 pm in the church basement with seven members present. June led the Bible study The Coming Of The Spirit", then read the Grace Gift Meditation.

Here's a few that might have been used, So men can get back in the house. Excuses fall into several categories, The situation determines their use. Experience is an important factor, When choosing the proper excuse. Phoning home is an effective way, Of reassuring your nervous loved one. But often making a single phone call, Is easier said than done. "I suddenly got very tired, So I slept, a little, on the way home. When I woke up, a few hours ago, I was laying on the cellular phone." "I was going to call on the pay phone, 'Cause I knew you'd be in a stink. But I had to spend that last quarter Buying that last call drink." "In all the fun and excitemint, Our number, somehow, slipped my mind. In the phone book, there were some pages gone, So our number I couldn't find." "I knew you were a very tired baby, Working your fingers to the bone. I just thought the last thing you'd want, Is to be wakened by the phone." Travelling with a group of friends, Can be a real treat. It gives a person, needing an excuse, A chance to deflect some heat. Whether driving or just riding, You must not step on another's toe. You must never suggest leaving, Before the others are ready to go. Problems with mechanics and clothing Help avoid conflict with your mate. "I accidently left with the wrong shoes on And had to go back, that's why I'm late." "I went to a little party, honey, And to leave early, I did try. But after a sit in the hot tub, It took a while for my clothes to dry." "I jumped in the truck to head for home, And I only had one headlight, So rather than push a bad situation, I thought it better to wait for first light." Time is a common stumbling block So the excuses for it are many. They must be very unbelievable, 'cause few are believed, if any. "It seemed like time was flying by, But my watch said it was only one. I finally figured out my watch had stopped, When I was staring at the morning sun." "I was sure you said not to be late, I follow instructions to a tee. So rather than go against your word, I stayed until it was early." Finally, there is that old standby, The one whose out while your at home. The trouble maker in all of us. "It wasn't me, it was my clone." Most excuses sound good at the time, But are no match for that spousal sleuth. You may as well confess up front, 'Cause they always find out the truth.Milo Jr. High Scoop We are two months into the school year and the ‘pace’ hasn’t slowed down much! The Science Club has now completed three sessions. There are a total of 38 students signed up. They range from grade one to grade eight. The club is running every Wednesday after school from 4:15 to 5:15. It makes for a long day but the students who do take part are really enthusiastic and well behaved. During the first session the students were challenged with some science activities. Some included balancing 12 nails on one nail without any of the 12 nails touching anything but themselves! (Some of you carpenters figure that one out!) Another included tying a knot in a rope without letting go of either end! The second session had the grade 5 to 9 students compete with each other to see who could make the longest ‘cantilever’ out of 30 uncooked spaghetti straws, 35 centimetres of masking tape and a cardboard paper towel tube. A typical bridge has support at each end while a cantilever is somewhat like a bridge except that it is only supported at one end. Thus, using the end of a table the students went to work. The winning team was Jennifer Monner and Amy Northcott. Their cantilever extended 71 cm past the end of the table!! At the same time the grade 1 to 4 students were given a boat challenge. Using only 20 square centimetres of aluminium foil, they were to create a boat that would support the most number of washers without sinking. The students were very creative. The grade one winner was Maurissa Umscheid, grade two was Matthew Sukut, grade three was Justin Thompson and grade four was Nathan Holmes. Nathan had the record for the number of washers at 31!! For the third session the grades 1 to 4 helped clean the chameleon terrarium and name the animals in the lab. The 5 to 8 were challenged by making a 30 uncooked spaghetti bridge which would support the most number of washers over a 35 cm gap. Dereck Teigen won this challenge! The Milo School is preparing to host ‘two’ volleyball tournaments. On November 4th will be a ‘girls’ only tournament and November 11th will be a ‘boys’ only tournament. Some of the teams coming include Enchant, Blackie and Cayley. The 7/8 Science class just completed the unit on living organisms. Part of their assignment included doing some optional projects. These projects were really well done. I hope to have some of them on display at our first Community Assembly. The 9 Science class have also completed their living organism unit. A computer assignment that they had involved using the HyperCard program to complete a ‘dichotomous key’ for a selection of balls. Again, the workmanship was excellent. All-in-all, the last month has been a very busy and exciting one!! For the science lab, there is a continual demand for crickets and other items. If anyone is going to the city and would be so good as to be willing to pick up some items for the lab, please call me (Rocky). I’ll supply the carrying case and the money. Thanks in advance!THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MILO AND DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY NOVEMBER 9,1995 AT 7:30p.m. IN THE MILO COMMUNITY HALL AGENDA TO INCLUDE: L Reports from all sub-coUnmittees (a) Ice Committee (b) Half Committee (c) Faff Fair Committee (d) Rural Initiatives Committee 2.

She adopted another orphan steer calf at the beginning of June and let it nurse too as if that's the way it should be.(Remembering we'd sold 'Lady', her third calf in Feb.) She was a good mother and had lots of milk. Blackie's weaned weight was 625 lbs. and Bluey's was 650 lbs. According to the neighbours, Lady, the heifer, was around 500 lbs. when weaned. The orphan calf was 600 lbs. Thought some of you might be interested in hearing how they did and their weights. The calves were all chunky and comparable to the others in the herd. So, either way you look at it that cow weaned calves with weights much greater than herself. A 1/165,000 chance! F. Thompson S.X.The Milo Rural Initiatives would like to thank everyone that bought tickets on our Go-Kart Raffle. We would also like to thank Mr. R1s for the great deal he gave us on the Go-Kart.
