This was followed by a program at 2 p.m. and a fly past of various aircraft at 4 p.m. All this was a tribute to the famed Dambusters. The Dambusters were R.A.F. Squadron 617. The members of this Squadron were hand picked by the Squadron Leader Guy Gibson. The raid on the dams in the Ruhr Valley, Germany, took place in 1943. Nineteen specially modified Lancaster bombers with their specialized bouncing bombs, created by Barnes Wallace, flying at a low level, breached the dams. Of the 133 crew - 29 were Canadian, 14 of those did not return. Of great interest to Milo area residents, is that Torger Tearum, was navigator on the Rhur Valley Dams bombing raid. Dan Fox, President of the Lancaster Society was the M.C. for the afternoon program. There were greetings from several people including Ken Vooys - Mayor of Milo, who told of Torger Tearum's early life in the Milo District. There were tributes to P/O John Fraser who took part in the raid and to P/O Torger Tearum, by Dave Birrell, a museum director. The Tearum family and Fred Sutherland the front gunner on the aircraft that breached the Eder Dam unveiled a painting. This picture was done by aviation artist John Rutherford, depicting Torger's actions during the raid. The painting will hang in the Dambuster's exhibit in the museum. Several members of the Tearum family and descendants of other Dambuster members attended the program. It is interesting to note that Torger Tearum survived the Dambuster's raid, but was later killed in 1943 on another Squadron 617 raid. Torger's youngest brother, Lome, was an air gunner who also lost his life in a bombing raid towards the end of the war. Among local people attending the Dambuster's tribute were: Ken and Carol Vooys, Harold and Janetts Northcott, Jim and Margaret Umscheid, Ian Thompson, Jamie Robertson, Larry and Jean Umscheid, James Will and Helen Thompson. Also attending were former Milo residents; Murray and Gail Phillips and Jim, High River. Joe Thomson, Calgary. Ellen Thompson, Calgary and Juanita McNair, Beiseker. The Nanton Lancaster Society Air Museum is the only facility in Canada whose primary goal is to honor those who served with Bomber Command during the second world war. The museum is a very interesting place to visit. It has many displays and vintage aircraft including the Lancaster bomber. This Lancaster does not fly but the one in Hamilton, Ontario does. The museum members were talking about starting the engines up on the day following the 60th anniversary commemoration. The engines in this plane are Rolls-Royce. Pay the Nanton Lancaster Museum a visit. I know that you will enjoy it and learn about a very interesting important part of our heritage.

Because of the breeze, rafters were towed to the dam to start the race. 4 rafts competed in the race which started about 2:00 and the first ones hit the “finish line” near the boat dock about an hour later. A barbecue beef supper and awards ceremony were-held at the hall later that evening. All rafters received prizes and their were even a few prize draws for volunteer helpers. Thanks to sponsors for this years race: Milo Lions Club, Agricore Milo, Slick Up Saloon, Prairie Perfection Catering, Jamie’s Foods, Lakeside Services, Marks Oilfield Services, Marathon, and Tiegen Transport. Thanks to Jana Godkin for organizing the event. Because the number of rafts was down from last year, an event next year remains in question. We might have just a fun, informal, raft and float all day event. $300 of the raft race proceeds donated to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre. 1st raft in: The “Mad Cows” Travis Deitz and Bill Godkin resurrected their “junkyard king” raft from last year. Despite some troubles with a slipping bike chain, they easily paddled to victory. Finely tuned adjustments of the bike chain on the paddle wheel saved the day. Fisherman please note: If anyone snags a hammer on the bottom of the lake, please return to Ian Godkin. Joining Travis’ and Bill’s team are Lacey Holoboff, Kurtis Harder, and Justin Valley.The “Snake Valley Outlaws” raft was a newly designed marvel for the Outlaws. Their log raft last year was “holey”. Congratulations on a second placefinish for Lyle, G-Nel and Mary Nelson, Steve Edwards & Deanna McGorman. The “Hope Floats” raft floated again. The team says this was the last year for this raft as it is just too slow! Rumour has it that the trolling motor installed to propel to the starting line snuck into the water during the race too. Rafters Brady & JanLaree Nelson, Chris Bartsch & Jana Godkin are pictured here from last year, (note the much warmer clothing). The “Rough Rider” raft was a new entry. This raft looked absolutely beautiful! Speed, however, fell by the wayside when the canoes filled with water! A little nudging by Casey’s boat was needed. Rafters are Morgan Bath, Melissa McGill, Shae Oliver, Rebecca Holoboff, Nicole Lanigan & Jade R. - Article by Barb Godkin,Frank Mclnenly Auctions Ltd.

At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted it on the apple tray,"Take only one, God is watching." Moving further along the line, at the other end of the table was a large plate of cookies. A child had written a note, "Take all you want, God is watching the apples." tttt **###***###***###***###***### A Kindergarten was watching her class while they were drawing. She walked around the room to look at each child's artwork. As she came to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The little girl rep 1ied,"God." "But nobody knows what God looks like." Without missing a beat or looking up from her drawing, the girl said,"They will in a minute."Announcing 30th Anniversary 1973-2003 Fall Course Calendar Check your Mail Box or our Web Page The Vulcan County Adult Learning Council's course calendar will be bulk mailed & posted on the web on Thursday, September 11.

The group arrived after a picturesque flight during the evening and settled into their accommodations after a welcome reception hosted by the hotel. The next morning our motor-coach with the driver, Bill Whiting, arrived at the hotel to take us on a tour of this lovely city, the capitol of the Yukon, which included the famous Miles Canyon, and the fascinating SS Klondike. In the late afternoon, everyone enjoyed a BBQ on the deck, hosted by Anita and Val, and after some birthday cake to honor the birthday boy, Douglas Hilton, it was off to ‘the best entertainment in the Yukon’, The Frantic Follies, where a good time was had by all. On Sunday we left bright and early as the day promised to be one of the many highlights of the trip, as a tour through the famed Chilkoot Pass to Skagway was planned. During the motor- coach portion of this day trip, we passed some very beautiful scenery, including the ‘smallest desert in the world’, and spent some time in Carcross, a small town nestled in the mountains on Lake Bennett, where the exhausted stampeders rested and built the boats to sail upstream to the Klondike. We continued on to Fraser, BC where we boarded the historic White Pass and Yukon Route Railroad, for our 2 and a half hour trip through the spectacular White Pass. It quickly became obvious to all of us, how amazing the men and women were who climbed this pass on foot through snow and severe weather in search of gold. The afternoon was spent exploring the port of Skagway, where the motor coach was waiting to take us back to Whitehorse. Monday morning came and now we started heading north passing the Five Finger Rapids on our way to Dawson City, and what a unique experience awaited us - it was like stepping back in time! Dawson itself is an historic site, and the ‘tales’ of the Klondike, are abundant and totally believable. During our 2-day stay, we visited Bonanza Creek, where gold was first discovered. Everyone tried their luck at gold panning and we toured Dredge Number 4, which is 48 stories high and was transported to the Klondike piece by piece in the early 1900’s. It is now a National Historic Monument and has been retired from duty. Today much of the area is still being mined. An evening was spent at Diamond Tooth Gertie’s, the oldest casino in Canada. We returned to our hotel at midnight, and found it very strange to stroll in broad daylight. And now we headed west to Alaska on the Top of the World Highway. It certainly is aptly named, the scenery is awesome — at one time we were literally in the clouds. Along the way we lunched at the remote settlement of Chicken - made famous by the book ‘Tisha’. We arrived in Tok in time for a delicious Salmon Bake hosted by Anita and Val. This is an Alaskan tradition that was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. As we continued west the next morning, we stopped and viewed the Trans Alaska Pipeline, and the end of Alaska Highway, before we had lunch at an historic roadhouse - Rika’s Roadhouse. After lunch we spent some time at North Pole, Alaska — where Santa lives? — and then it was on to Fairbanks for our overnight stop. That evening we were well entertained at the Golden Heart Review in Pioneer Park.Once again it was an early start as we left Fairbanks heading south to Denali Park The scenery Spec!a“lab and along the way we saw some local wildhfe bears moose and bus and toureTthf ** 7t°'™ “n °fDena,i in tone for lunch after which we boarded a private strediTulS nr ,Z TS^"ali Park The dnver's Pledge amazing, L he (20 320ft') in North A Par ’ mc udlng the facts of Mount McKinley, the highest mountain stop^aS,We Were treated *° h0t chocolate and “Okies the halfway Ihc area Th?t! , entertained us with her legends of the first nations to inhabit biblS, Tha‘evenul« we *>*ytA at the new and beautiful Grande Denali Lodge The Lodge is bmft high on the mountain overlooking the whole area - the view is breathtaking malfcenTaT w^ travel' ?'by m°t0r coach The scenery Continued to be whfftew in rd We st0pped m A-ehorage to meet 2 passengers gar^ ^at daY to Jom us for the cruise portion of the trip and then carried weata d™not7L7,S °" 7 ^in SeWard ‘° ce,ebrate ^ summer a>L*.

Uf :: MARy i "So that the public can Hail the air hero."' Gibson was to be welcomed by A VM G.R. Howsam, air officer commanding No. 4 Training Command, and Mayor Andrew Davison. The ceremony was to include a march past by station personnel to the band from No. 2 Wireless School. Then Gibson was to give a radio interview over CFAC. The route by which W/C Gibson would travel from Currie to the Falhser Hotel was outlined in great detail to provide the public, "another opportunity to see him." At 8:30 there was to be a second interview over CFAC, "during which he is expected to tell in detail how the famous raid was organized and carried out." Upon being introduced to Mrs. Taerum, Gibson was quoted as saying, "I'm awfully glad to meet you. You are t e lvmg image of him, you know -or should I say he is the living image of you? Terry is a great boy and a great navigator. He got the whole squadron to the dam." The Herald's headline the following day was, "Terry Got Dam Busters to the Job W/C Gibson Tells His Mother Here" and "Modest Dam Buster Hero Gets Enthusiastic Welcome." Much was made of the presence of Hilda Taerum at Gibson's arrival, saying that, "Calgary has a special and 'hometown' interest in W/C Gibson's visit for it was a young Calgarian who navigated his aircraft on the history-making raid." Gibson's modesty was noted as he, "spoke little of the escapades which won for him the VC, DSO and Bar, and DFC and Bar. Rather, t s young airman, probably the most famous hero yet to emerge from the present war, led the conversation to the splendid job Canadian fliers are doing and to his, 'great pal,' Flying Officer Harlo Terry' Taerum DFC of Calgary." Gibson spent the next day in Banff and upon his return to Calgary spent several hours at the Taerum residence during the evening. It was likely at that time that Mrs. Taerum showed him her treasured album and had it autographed. As well, a newspaper photo of the two of them was signed by Gibson. The next morning he left for Vancouver by train. Hilda Taerum summed up her experience by saying that it was, lone of the proudest and happiest times of her lifei and the numerous photos and newspaper clippings were placed in the album Four days later the telegram arrived, "REGRET TO ADVISE THAT YOUR SON FLYING OFFICER TORGER HARLO TAERUM DFC J ONE SIX SIX EIGHT EIGHT IS REPORTED MISSING AFTER AIR OPERATIONS OVERSEAS SEPTEMBER FIFTEENTH STOP LETTER FOLLOWS -RCAF CASUALTIES OFFICER." 617 Squadron Lancaster AJ-S had taken off from RAF Coningsby at 23:56 on September 15th to bomb the Dortmun-Ems Canal near Ladbergen. It was to be the first time that a 12,000 pound (high capacity) bomb was to be used agamst the enemy. AJ-S had a most distinguished crew. Its pilot was the recently appointed do, S/L . . olaen and included four who had flown with W/C Gibson on the Dams Raid. The decorations of those aboard totaled a DSO, two DFM's, and six DFC's, including F/Lt Taerum's. The aircraft was believed to havebeen shot down by light flak as they made their run-in on the target at an altitude of only 300 feet. All aboard were killed. Terry Taerum was buried at Reichswold Forest War Cemetery, Kleve, Germany beside the other Canadian aboard, F/O G.A. Deering DFC. Again, Harlo Taerum was front-page news in his hometown newspapers, the headlines reading, "Calgary's Dam Buster is Reported Missing." Guy Gibson, who was in Montreal at the time, sent a message to Mrs. Taerum, referring to his navigator as, "a first class man." Hilda Taerum dutifully placed the telegrams, clippings, and letters in the album. Harlo Taerum’s logbook, which opened with details of a map reading flight in an Anson on February 10, 1941 was closed by his friend Mick Martin who, upon the death of S/L Holden, became the officer commanding 617 Squadron. As one looks at the signature in the logbook, the emotion with which it was placed can only be imagined. A year later on September 19, 1944, Gibson himself was lost. He had become a staff officer but managed to fly on some operations. His last was aboard a Mosquito as Master Bomber on a raid to Rheydt and Munchen Gadbach. After completing his duties he was heard to say, "Okay, that's fine, now home." 45 minutes later his Mosquito crashed near Steenbergen. Gibson and his navigator were killed. And then on February 11, 1944, another devastating telegram was delivered to the already battered Hilda Taerum, "DEEPLY REGRET TO ADVISE YOUR SON FLIGHT SERGEANT LORNE CLIFFORD TAERUM PREVIOUSLY REPORTED MISSING IS NOW REPORTED TO HAVE LOST HIS LIFE ON ACTIVE SERVICE OVERSEAS FEBRUARY THIRD STOP PLEASE ACCEPT BY PROFOUND SYMPATHY STOP LETTER FOLLOWS -RCAF CASUALTIES OFFICER." Terry's younger brother, only eighteen years old, had been killed on his first operation when his Lancaster was attacked and downed by enemy fighter aircraft over Holland. The telegrams, letters, and news clippings were placed in the album. The war, for Hilda Taerum, was over. The tragedy was complete. G. D’s REPAIR FOR ALL YOUR MECHANICAL & REPAIRS : Gerald Deitz 599-2354 or 599-2164The Terry Fox Run Before Terry died, he knew that an annual event would be held to commemorate his Marathon of Hope. It would be called, appropriately, The Terry Fox Run. To the left is the Run design for this year. The first Terry Fox Run in 1981 attracted 300,000 participants across Canada and raised $3.5 million. To date, over $300 million has been raised for cancer research in Terry's name. Each year, thousands of volunteers organize Terry Fox Run events in Canada and around the world. In Canada, the annual Terry Fox Run is held every September, usually on the second Sunday following Labour Day. The emphasis of the event isn’t on how much you raise, but that you participate in Terry’s memory and help him finish his Marathon of Hope. As Terry said in 1980: “If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.” Milo has been hosting the Terry Fox Run since 1988. Last year we raised $11,788.50. To date we have raised $112,518.95 for cancer research. Pledge forms are available around town for participants. If you would like to donate to the cause, and no one has asked you for a pledge, please contact me. I will make sure it gets to the Terry Fox Office. The Milo Terry Fox Run will be held Thursday, Sept. 11th at 9:00 am, starting at the school. For further information, please contact Joanne Monner at 599-3771 Terry Fox Run Organizer tAugust 2003 David Malkin, M.D., FRCP(C), FAAP Professor of Pediatrics and Medical Biophysics, Staff Oncologist, Division of Hematology/Oncology Senior Scientist, Cancer Research Program, Research Institute The Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto E-mail: david.malkin@sickkids.ca Dear Terry Fox Run Volunteer, Just a few weeks ago, a young girl presented to our clinic with a sore knee that just wouldn’t go away. We eventually diagnosed her with having an osteosarcoma — the very same tumor that Terry Fox had more than 20 years ago. The difference is that for this young lady I was able to tell her and her parents that the likelihood of curing her was high, much higher than Terry Fox would have ever dreamed of. In the past generation, the cure rate for children with leukemia has risen from less than 30% to greater than 80%. For those with cancers of the kidney, some types of lymphomas, and almost all types of childhood cancers that have not spread at the time they are diagnosed, more than 8 nr even 9 of every 10 children will be cured. Their disease will be eradicated and they will be nurtured back to health. They will go to school, work and lead active productive and fulfilling lives. All of these wonderful advances have been the direct result of decades of research carried out in Canada, and around the world. In particular, new ways of giving ‘old’ conventional drugs, better medicines to treat complications of therapy, and novel approaches to general supportive care of cancer patients has alleviated much suffering and given these children and their parents and their caregivers renewed hope for a brighter future. Many of the steps have been funded and supported directly through the remarkable efforts of The Terry Fox Foundation. Sadly, however, many, far too many, children succumb to their disease. All the new knowledge, new drugs and new technologies have not yet made a significant dent in our ability to successfully treat children with aggressive forms of cancer. The treatments are devastating and the outcomes are grim. This situation is unacceptable to someone like myself who has chosen a dual career in caring for and treating children with cancer, as well as participating as an active scientist in the pursuit of knowledge to understand these diseases, and to conquer them. Canada has played an instrumental role in advancing knowledge in cancer research. Our innumerable significant contributions are far disproportionate to our small national population, as well as to the relatively very small amount of funds made available for cancer research, when compared to our partners and collaborators in all the other G8 nations. We are blessed with brilliant and compassionate, dedicated and talented cancer specialists and scientists, whose goal to eliminate this disease far outstrips any pursuits of personal glory. The greatest reward that I get from what I do is seeing my patients, year after year, conquer their illness and develop into remarkably vibrant young women and men. Or to have these children come back to me with their own children, or show off their athletic awards, or their scholarships to university. And in some cases to learn that they have decided to pursue their own careers in medicine, nursing and cancer research! Nothing could be more rewarding than this Building on our collective strength and wisdom and inspired by their courage and determination, OVERwe can succeed in our goals. I believe that the time will come when targeted molecular therapies will replace conventional highly toxic agents; when new technologies will enable doctors to better identify those at risk, and rational approaches will enhance children’s quality of life. I believe many, or most, of us will be around to see those heady predictions become realities. As volunteers for The Terry Fox Foundation, your contributions to this effort, and to the realization of Terry’s dreams, must not be overlooked. Your enthusiasm, energy, passion and commitment to his cause is shared by every single cancer patient, every single cancer specialist, every single nurse and health care worker who tends these people, and every single scientist who dedicate their lives to alleviating the suffering of many. As a doctor who treats children with cancer, and as a scientist who seeks to make some contribution to our understanding of the disease, I thank you on behalf of many more who have been supported over the years by Terry Fox. Your efforts have not been in vain. We will continue to make you proud of the work you do. We will work together, side by side, until the battle is won. And then, and only then, will we truly celebrate! Vr.

The barbecue was well attended, and after everyone had a chance to eat, a demonstration of the “Jaws of Life” equipment was given. People also had the opportunity to purchase fire brooms and purchase tickets for the decorated mirror scene) raffle. The “Jaws of Life” was recently purchased by the Milo Fire Department with a federal grant and matching funds from the Milo Lions Club and Milo Ag. Society. Pictured at left is the 1967 Pontiac StratoChief station wagon used in the demonstration. Thanks to Shirley Wilson for donating her old family car. The victim (Betty Lou Whaley) and two rescuers supporting the victim are covered by a tarp to protect them. Fire crew has blocked the car and are preparing to puncture windshield. At right, the jaws cutter unit is used and cuts, much like a bolt cutter, through metal like it was butter. The fire crew are cutting the top of the car off for removal. The front windshield has been sawed at the base and the remaining windows have been broken out. Below, the top of the vehicle has now been removed and the jaws spreader unit is used first to crush the door so an opening between doors is created. The jaws can then be used to spread that opening and pop the door off. A protective board has been placed beside the victim. After the victim was removed, the demonstration continued by popping all of the doors off so more fire fighters could try out the jaws unit.The backboard has been brought in and the rescuers and fire crew prepare to remove the victim. Care must be taken as head, neck and spine injuries are always a possibility in car accidents. The victim’s neck was braced right at the start and rescuers held her neck and head steady while the removal of the car roof was taking place. The fire association chose an extremely lightweight victim for some reason. They had practiced a few nights earlier with a heavier victim and must have needed a rest! At least they chose a good solid car to put the jaws to the test! Bleachers were set up and a good crowd watched the demonstration on Main Street. Vulcan Fire Chief Dwayne Hill supplied the commentary for the demonstration. After the car remains were cleared away, the Fire Department held a Fun Casino to raise funds for future equipment and training. Approximately 90 people took in the casino, with the winner at the end of the night taking home $1000.00 cash. It all came down to the horse race and in the end the grand prize winner was Chris Bartsch (although he and Kyle Lahd agreed to split their winnings). The other four prize winners were: Nathan Phillips - second, Carol Robertson — third, and Galvin Egeland and Gord Marshall. A bingo board with additional prizes was part of the fun casino as well. A winner from the bingo board was one of the 6 finalists. Pictured at right is Milo Fire Chief Robert Phillips presenting the winning cheque to Chris Bartsch. Congratulations to Erin Monner, winner of the decorative mirror raffle. The fire department would like to thank the community for all of their support. The barbecue, demonstration and the casino would not have been possible if not for the many volunteers that helped out.

How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?Spinning Cylindrical Bomb: Story of The Dam Busters from "The Dam Busters" by P. Brickhill If you make something spin fast enough around an axis it needs a surprising amount of force to tilt it off that axis. The earth is one example of spinning on an axis. It stays on that same axis (thank God) but it doesn t have to be a sphere. A lot of youngsters have little gyro- scopes as toys. Yank hard on a string and a caged disc spins like mad, and people are intrigued at the strength it needs to budge it from its axis. Or take a child's top. It stays upright when it is spinning fast enough and falls over when it isn't. (That's a top secret!). A lot of aircraft blind flying instruments depend on gyroscopic action, such as an artificial horizon. Wallis knew that he had to reduce the diameter of his missile. And he knew it still had to hit the water on every bounce with the same shape surface as before. He already knew his missile had to drop with a lot of back-spin on it to control the bounces, and also to make it crawl underwater flat against the dam wall when it hit. So why not a missile shaped like a portly barrel with enough back-spin to keep it gyroscopically on an identical axis all the way. That would reduce the diameter without lengthening the 'barrel' shape too much. It seemed all so easy. All one had to do was think it out first. His assistants carved on lathes a series of fat, barrel-shaped models, each with differing weight-size- shape ratios and all of them with a potential diameter small enough to be carried under a Lancaster. Wallis tested each repeatedly with varying combinations of back- spin, catapult velocity and height. Consistently they skipped across the water in the tank in little flashes of spray but seldom tilting off their horizontal axis, presenting at each skip the same pot-bellied shape to the water. By trial and error he found at what speeds each model would slither against the far end of the tank and crawl under the water hugging the wall (with the residual back-spin). He filled a notebook with details of each shape, and by simple elimination was able to choose the model with the widest range of reliable performance. The rest was largely doing sums, such as how fast a five ton 'barrel' could be safely spun backwards before release from an aircraft and achieve enough gyroscopic stability for half a mile or more of bouncing bumps. Wallis made it between 450-500 revolutions per minute backwards. By the middle of 1942 he was satisfied he could make a five tonner do what he wanted it to. The only thing he didn't know was whether to call it a barrel, a bomb, a mine or a missile. Not that it mattered." Taerum flicked the belly lights on and, peering down from the blister, started droning: 'Down . . . down . down . up a bit .steady, stead-y-y.' The lights were touching each other, 'G __________________George' was exactly at 60 feet and the flak gunners had seen the lights. The streams of glowing shells were swivelling and lowering, and then the shell were whipping towards them, seeming to move slowly at first like all flak, and then rushing madly at their eyes as the aircraft plunged into them. Gibson said tersely: 'Bomb on!' Spafford flicked the switch and heard the whine of the electric motor starting back in the fuselage. He could hear it winding up speed and a vibration grew through the aircraft as the black barrel under- neath stirred out of its inertia and started revolving backwards, faster and faster, building up to optimum revs., until G George was thrum- ming like a live thing. Gibson held her steady, pointing between the towers. Spafford screamed, 'Bomb gone!' loud and sharp, and they rocketed over the dam between the towers. In a few moments the mountain of water erupted skyward again under the dam wall. It was uncanny how accurate the bomb was. The spray from the explosions was misting up the whole valley now and it was hard to see what was happening by the dam. — 'Hell, it's gonel It's gonel Look at it for Christ's sakel' Wheeling round the valley side Martin had seen the concrete face abruptly split and crumble under the weight of water. Gibson swung in close and was staggered. A ragged hole 100 yards across and 100 feet deep split the dam and the lake was pouring out of it, 134 million tons of water crashing into the valley in a jet 200 feet long, smooth on top, foaming at the sides where it tore at the rough edges of the breadh and boiling over the scarred earth where the power house had been."
