Teach" me to understand my children, to listen patiently to what they have to say, and to answer all their questions kindly. Keep me from interrupting them, talking back to them, and contradicting them. Make me as courteous to them as I would have them be to me. Give me the courage to confess my sins against my children and to ask their forgiveness when I know that I have done them a wrong. May I not vainly hurt the feelings of my children. Forbid that I should laugh at their mistakes or resort to shame and ridicule as punishment. Let not tempt my child to lie and to steal. So guide me hour by hour that I may demonstrate b'y all I say and do that honesty produces happiness. Reduce, I pray, the meanness in me. May I cease to nag; and when I am out of sorts, help me to hold my tongue. Blind me to the little errors of my children and help me to see the good things that they do. Give me a ready word for honest praise. Help me to grow up with my children, to treat them kindly. Let me not exact of them the judgments and conventions of adults. Allow me not to rob them of the opportunity to wait upon themselves, to think, to choose and to make decisions. Forbid that I should ever punish them for my selfish satisfaction. May I grant them all their wishes that are reasonable and have the courage always to withhold a privilege which 1 know will do them harm. Make me so fair and just, so considerate and companionable to my children that they will have a genuine esteem for me. Fit me to be loved and imitated. With all Thy gifts, 0 Great Master, give me calm, poise and self control.BOOKS MAKE A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!

Councillors Comments We have received a draft copy of the Land Use By Law for the County of Vulcan.There are many things in there I don't like. This document will restrict what can and what can not be done on and to land in the County as well as business activity. Anybody interested in doing or expanding a business should get this document and read it. The County dirt crew has finished the Stone House road east of Carmangay. Ten miles is a fairly big job for our small fleet of equipment. Some of the land owners along this road were very difficult to work with and we would of pulled out of this job but we couldn't as it was infrastructure money from the Government. The gravel trucks are still working and will go for awhile yet weather permitting. We are very satisfied with our B train gravel unit, but it does wear down the truck tires pulling that load on gravel roads. Terry Lang is an excellent driver and has had very few problems with this unit. BROWNIE NEWS We're back again and 10 strong l Morgan Bath and Maurissa Umschied. our second year girls are happy to welcome Paige Label, Rebecca Holoboff. Nikita Mealy, Charmaine Nelson, Layne Wilson, Amanda Simmonds, Deanna Heather and Cassie Thompson. Monica and Jo-Anne are back again lor another tun tilled year with these very enthusiastic girls. Our very first meeting consisted of a wonderful bike ride to the lake to see if we could spot some pelicans. Riding on the bike path was great, safe and we all made it to the lake and back!!!!!!!! We have had lots of games since then helping the new girls learn their Brownie promise and law. Some pretty wicked trees were painted in preparation for the Enrollment and with ten voices, our songs sound especially nice. Our Halloween party included some jack-o- lantern coloring, apple biting and a feel of the swamp monsters body parts! Thank you to Deelane Simmonds and Amanda for the neat witch hat cookies and cupcakes. Thank you as well to Rebecca's Mom, Darbfor the”punch in the pumpkin” and her help at the party.

U£e Gan Opener G/ajjMilo Curling Club The Milo Curling Club will be sporting a new look in the fall of 1998. At the spring meeting in ’96 the club decided to pursue the CFEP (Community Facility Enhancement Program) grant application to rebuild the front of the rink. The grant was approved in the spring of '97. The plans are to dismantle, salvage or move the front part of the building the second week of March directly following the completion of the Mixed Bonspiel. The existing foundation will be used for the new part with an extended addition to the west. There will be ground floor acces to the bottom level for the viewing area, washrooms and kitchen, etc. with the top floor to house another viewing area, lounge, washrooms etc. There will no longer be a basement. It is the intention of the club to use as much volunteer labor and equipment as we can possibly use and still meet all codes specified. We would certainly appreciate volunteer help from anyone whether you are a club member or not. The building committee consists of: Doug Bushell, Lloyd Deitz, Dale Deitz, Mike Hingley and Joanne Monner. If anyone is interested in the salvage or moving of the building, please contact the building committee as soon as possible. Also feel free to contact them if you have any questions. Terry Fox Run Congratulations to Milo on earning $9236.65 for Cancer Research in the Annual Terry Fox Run on Sept. 11th. All of the money has been collected and taken to the head office in Calgary. I would like to thank everyone for collecting their pledges and getting them in so quickly this year. I think this is a record!! We now have travelled from St. John's Newfoundland to Vancouver British Columbia with our combined mileage from participants since 1988. Please feel free to explore the Terry Fox wall going up the stairway in the school. You will see the map of Canada and the number of miles that Milo covered each year as well as several articles about the Milo Run and a mural of Terry Fox signed by everyone in the school. Next year will complete our journey across Canada, so we will be planning a special celebration. Thank you for your continuing support to such a worhtwhile cause!!

"Should I live out my senior years here on the farm alone? I'm in a good community, with the best of neighbours, so maybe I will." "Still on-the-other hand why not explore other possibilities?" And that is what Stan did, his very first expedition was to take up residency at the Peter Dawson Lodge in Vulcan. Within a few months he found a compatibility both with residents and staff that was to his liking. And by the end of the year he was firmly entrenched in his new social environment. "How better to live out my senior years?" Stan asked himself. And the answer came back with a certainty, "I have already found the best!" Therefore he held a farm sale on October 4th, 1997. The farm sale since its inception was then and continues to be a day to be on the deck for a bargain, a day to perhaps buy what you truly need or buying for the momentary thrill of being part of the action. Later at home. "I doubt if I'll ever use this.oh, well." It was also a day of socializing for the locals.and for any good social function, humour is often a delightful addition. Stan's sale had its own supply of animated wit. Overheard were quips in the form of gentle teases.firstly towards the prior-to-sale-date owner in regard to the vast volume of articles to be sold, "If you can't find it here, it hasn't been built yet!" said Ben."If he saw something different on TV he would make a trip to buy it!" said Sonny. Secondly towards a lady buyer by Auctioneer Les, when asking for $15 from a $10 bid."Oh she wants me to go to 12 and a half the ladies from Milo, then with a smile, Les obliges. Auctioneer Les then returns to the safest playing ground of all for the humorist.his own persona."I should have gone to school one more year but I wasn't looking forward to grade six anyway!" The sale, with two sale rings going from the start, lasted from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Now a happy memory for many, previous owner included.

I was so happy to see everyone there. We had the ribbon cutting (Thanks to Don and my Mom!) at 2:00 Saturday afternoon. I was a total basket case, as everyone who was there found out - I’m not a public speaker. Anyways, Barry McFarland .Charlotte Bath and Grant Lahd were there to help me cut the ribbon that officially opened the New and Improved Milo Hotel. (It was about time!! ) We had champagne and hors d’oeurves, free pool, room tours (before and after versions), door prizes and happy hour drinks to help celebrate the day. I received many beautiful gifts that were not necessary, but greatly appreciated. If you know me you know that I always seem to leave everything to the last minute. So not surprisingly me, my mom and my staff all worked for (it seemed like) 24 hours a day for the last week trying to get everything ready for the Big Day. But we did it!! We now have a new sit at bar (although nobody’s actually sat at it yet), we have most of the brands up around the bar (even though lA of them were upside down), a new green to replace the old John Deere green door frames and windows, a new look behind the bar and our walls of fame who include - Jim Sheild, Danny Watt, Ross Nelson, Neal Deitz, Ken Fetkenher, Ward & Jess Willard and Wes Cyr. As a few of you heard we had a couple new waitresses help me out while my regular waitresses were gone for the weekend. They turned out to be quite a hit (Thanks to Letty Lynn who called everyone to let them know about it) You see -1 wasn’t allowed to call anyone - so I just happened to let it slip to Letty Lynn and Charity what was happening and they took care of the rest. As it turned out they packed the joint!! It was so funny my cheeks were literally sore from laughing so hard. The only part that wasn’t funny was that Ross fit into my clothes and looked better in them than me!! There are so many people that I have to thank for so many things. My family, especially my mom and dad who do so much for me getting the bar in shape, Brad, for all the days and nights of babysitting and for generally putting up with me, my crazy hours and my disaster of a house, Gordon and Elva who are always offering to help and who are constantly looking after my kids, Melanie who comes to help me paint at all hours of the night and who is a pillar of support, all my waitresses, who make the bar what it is, they are all so friendly and efficient I owe them all my success, Alvin, Ross, Milton and Don who are always helping me around the bar from unloading vehicles to acting as bouncers to installing air conditioners ( even when they don’t work). Sheldon, who somehow always seems to know when we’re getting beer in and will come in just to see if we need help unloading it, Dave and Terry who move Big Red for me when they deliver beer because I’m stupid and forget to move it myself, everybody who sent me flowers and gifts (there are just too many to mention in this article), all the guys who gave me their pictures and treasures to put on the walls of fame and everybody who ever comes into the bar. You people and especially the people mentioned above are the reason the bar is doing so good and is a nice place to come to now. I am glad I bought the bar, it’s a lot of hours and hard work but just getting to know the community better and realizing how much everybody supports everybody else makes it worth every minute. For every hardship I’ve encountered there have been a million laughs and I’m counting on a lot more (laughs that is!!) Thanks again'everybody and keep smiling!!

And the observed prominent Desires of an individual, provide an insight about that person. Some Desires of high intensity, instilled in Doc were readily, not only observed, but also appreciated by so many of us. Four Desires stood out in his persona; each one harmonizing with the others. .A Desire to do Good Unto Others,which was evident in his chosen profession, and in other ways too. Friendship, he Maintain His a 1 ovi ng .A Desire for a Pleasant Affiliation With Family, which brings its own rewards. .The Desire for offered it freely. .A Desire to Christian Faith, relationship with the Lord. We consider what Dr. Tompkins would have us do now. A phrase comes to mind with resounding clarity. "After you sorrow upon my passing, turn once again to life and smile." -On behalf of the many Vulcan County residents who cherish their past friendship with Doctor Tompkins. by StewarT Douglass Get Well wishes from the community to Leonard Kiemele who is undergoing tests.
