We have excellent printers as well as many budding artists in the Grade 1/2 room! In our second week of school, we had our school pictures taken, and hopefully they will be ready soon. Mrs. Phair is very pleased to report that all the grade 1 and 2 students participated in and completed the entire route on the Terry Fox Run day ©. We were thankful that the weather cooperated that day, also. The l's and 2's enjoyed the early snowfall even though it came in the last week of summer. There were many snowmen and snow forts assembled in a short order (which made "snort order" of the available snow, but we had fun!) In Social Studies we are learning all about the community in which we live. Science has us studying in depth the five senses. Our Mother Goose and Fairy Tale unit is giving us an opportunity to learn or review basic literacy skills such as beginning letter sounds. We are also learning in this unit, components of fairy tales and how to order events in the stories we have been reading. Grade l's have learned many sight words and soon will be reading voraciously! (The teacher is very excited about their progress.) Math finds us learning and reviewing basic numeracy skills. We have been doing a lot of counting, learning number words and many colour words. Hot dog sales began again the second week of school. A big thank you to Mrs. F. Thompson for coordinating the first month of sales. This is a grade 1 to 4 fundraiser, and proceeds will go towards funding field trips such as the one to the Zoo last spring. We observed the first day of Fall on September 23rd, and soon we will be setting our clocks back one hour. The students are really looking forward to the Fall Fair, Thanksgiving and Halloween. On a last serious note, we at the school are working very hard to be a nut free zone with emphasis on peanuts—no peanuts or food with peanut products allowed. W'e ask that you please bear this in mind when you are preparing food for a school function or when sending lunches with your child(ren) to school. Sincere thanks for your cooperation. -submitted and written by the Milo Grade l's and 2's (with help from Mrs. Phair and Mrs. Burgess)oooooooooooooooooooo 0 Come to our ° o o o o o o o o PatesifidobeP *4 Family Event! 4h Times: 3:00 ~ 6'*00 pm o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Place: Mih CoMMuuJiW ° School bra.r^ Q o O O O O L O O O O O O O Book Fairs.HAND-PAINTED SAW BLADE Never held a brush before or if you are an advanced painter come out and learn new techniques on how to paint mountains, trees, rocks, cabins, etc., and turn out a masterpiece.

Trying to msl<e the natter clearer, he said, "Now boys, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know would run into it, and I would turn red in the face. "Yes sir,"the boys said. Teacher: Then why is it when I'm standing upright in the ordinary position, the blood doesn't run into my feet’" A little fellow answered, "Cause your feet ain't empty." The UCW, LCW and friends hosted their annual fall dinner for seniors on Thursday, September 18. 70 guests enjoyed a dinner of roast beef, mashed potatoes, carrots, jello salads, tomatoes and, of course, pie for dessert. Guests were from the Vulcan Extendicare, Vulcan Community Health Center - Long term care and seniors over 80 years old from the Milo community. Entertainment was supplied by Rosella and her Old Time Band. An enjoyable time was had by all!

One of the first remarks heard from a passenger was “I hope this is not going to be a sight seeing tour” as visibility was not so good due to blowing snow and water on the windows. Fortunately after the last group of passenger was picked up at Strathmore the weather decided to co­operate and clear up, but still not much sun. We had placed ourselves into the hands of our driver Steve, who Laurie assured us. was a very experienced driver. This he certainly proved when he had to back the bus out of a number of very tight spaces on the journey. At the start we were all given an itinerary of the journey, the only problem was it only contained the times we would be arriving and leaving various destinations and also our “ 2 Choices for Lunch”. It was up to us to try and decide where we were going. We travelled on some roads that many of us (including Laurie) had never been on before. By this time we could see out of the windows and we admired and remarked on the many farms, crops, hills and valleys we went through. After about and hour and a half driving we were taken up a very steep hill and someone mentioned a similarly steep hill at Cochrane. And then low and behold thee we were going down a hill into Cochrane. The only thing was that we were going into town from the West and that completely confused everyone, even the driver and Laurie. Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, i.e.; a cell phone, Laurie managed to get directions to the restaurant. Unfortunately the person giving the directions mixed up their rights and lefts and we had a wonderful tour of the residential district, again more phone calls and we were back on track. Next quest, find the restaurant. Finally we were told the place we were looking for was called “Ducks on the Roof’ and thank goodness there were “ducks” on the roof, all be it they were wooden, or we would haven driven right by. By this time we were all glad to get out (amidst many ouches and ouches from stiff limbs). We were ushered into a very nice restaurant and the first order was “COFFEE”. I think we must have used up quite a few carafes by the time our lunch was served and very it was delicious. Our choices were a California Club Sandwich (this being a large serving of chicken on a bun), or beef dip; both served with fries or salad, with more coffee and followed by orange sherbet. Now the inner person had been satisfied we were on our way again and we were told we were going to visit the Studio West Bronze Foundry and Art Gallery, owned and run by the Stephens-Begg family. (See description at end of article) We were greeted at the door by the founder’s great granddaughter who ushered us into the Studio area where a wonderful assortment of bronzy statues and artwork was displayed. Mrs Shirley Stephens Begg (wife of the founders grand son) then gave us a step-by-step display of how a bronze statue was made. As far as I can remember there were approximately 10 to 12 steps before the finished article was ready for display. It would have been very interesting to see the actual foundry which was at the back of the studio, but unfortunately we were not allowed to go in there for safety reasons.After this we were invited to look around and many of us brought reproductions of some of the original paintings made into Christmas and general cards. Upstairs Mrs Stephen Begg had a display called Grandma s Aprons and there must have been over a hundred on display. She also told us that she has an interest in how some women had become original homesteaders. Usually it was only men who could take out a homestead, but in certain circumstance (the event of the husband s death) a woman could then take over the homestead in Canada, but in the USA women, single or married could apply for a homestead. She is planning to construct an original homestead cabin - women s style on the second floor of the studio and is always looking for donations of artefacts for the project. After spending over an hour and a half, we all headed back to the bus. Laurie informed us that the original plan this time, was to head out and go home taking a detour through Bragg Creek. As we had taken more time than planned, she suggested instead that we might like to stay in Cochrane and just browse the many interesting stores, including the famous Cochran Ice Cream Parlour. We all agreed we would like to explore the town a little more. After more careful manoeuvring with the bus into a parking lot right in the centre of town, we all went on our separate ways. Some visited the ice cream parlour, of course, other went to different stores like “Birds in your Garden”, antique stores and craft stores, etc. Right in the centre of the main street, which incidentally has been developed and modernized into a very attractive area, was a life-size bronze statue of a homesteader lady feeding her chickens. Seeing this piece alone was worth the trip. Finally at the appointed time of 4 p.m. we all met again at the bus and when we were settled, the bus driver started for home. There was plenty to talk about on the way back and lots of show and tell of the purchases we had made. Laurie held a draw and about 6 lucky people had a memento of the trip. After taking more back roads we arrived in Strathmore and fourteen of the party left us, on again and at Milo eight of us were glad to be ome by 6 p.m. The remainder of the passengers were taken back to Vulcan by our very competent driver. Thank you Lauie and Steve for a memorable trip, I am sure I speak for us all when I say we really had a good time. When’s the next one planned? One of the mystery passengers. Doug Stephens: yiuauaiea as an illustrator from the famous Art Cen­tre School in Los Angeles, California, having studied for 4 years under such notables as Norman Rockwell i +his* ^ears as a comrnercial art director, he il- ustrated numerous international magazine covers c,nc~ cooks and was regarded by art experts as the first Canadian artist to put Western brnn7^t; jntn tho homesteading with a team and covered wagon, riding to school on a horse, working as a ranch hand and a rodeo competitor, these became the source of the stories he told in paintings and sculpture. He painted and sculptured with meticulous detail the fine vanishing men and animals of the early West he knew so well. Doug Stephens himseif was unknowing­ly a reflection of his art — strong, gentle, courageous, kind and admired by all who knew him. Together with his daughter and her husband, Don Begg, he estab­lished Western Canada's first fine ah bronze foundry, Studio West. As a final tribute, for 10 years the Calgary Stampede Dollar was struck with a relief of a Stephens sculpture. In international art sales, Doug Stephens is referred to as a "Deceased Western Master."Milo Seed Cleaning Association Requires a Manager for the Seed Plant Employment to start on January 1st, 2004 Shall train with current manager until June 30th Applications available at the office from September 1st to October 15th Annual General Meeting is November 10th at 1:00 pm.

Anyone is welcome to come in to the clinic for a flu shot. Flu shots are free for seniors and for individuals with certain medical conditions, but not high blood pressure. Otherwise, the fee is $15.00. The article below is from the Canadian Press: WHO urges flu shots to cut down SARS confusion Similar symptoms could result in misdiagnosis, official say GENEVA (AP-CP), Wednesday, Sept. 3 - The World Health Organization called on medical authorities worldwide Tuesday to launch an influenza vaccination campaign, saying it would help stop confusion in future outbreaks of SARS. The WHO said flu symptoms - such as a high temperature - could be easily confused with those of SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. Immunizing people against influenza will slash the number of cases of that illness and make it easier for doctors to detect SARS should the disease re-emerge. Many respiratory diseases occur every winter, but flu is one of the most severe, infecting up to 20 per cent of the world's population, causing up to five million cases of severe illness and at least 250,000 to 500,000 deaths each year worldwide. Health Canada estimates between 500 and 1,500 people die from influenza each year in Canada. But the Canadian Coalition for Influenza Immunization suggests the number is probably closer to 2,000, if deaths from pneumonia triggered by the flu are factored in. While some vaccinated people may still contract mild flu, the vaccine does protect from the most dangerous consequence of the disease, pneumonia. "Many experts are concerned that SARS might be a seasonal disease and return in the next few months," the Geneva-based organization said. After surfacing in southern China in November, SARS infected more than 8,400 people worldwide and killed more than 900 people before subsiding in June. The disease claimed 44 lives in Toronto, which had the only major outbreak outside of Asia. ' 'The influenza vaccine does not prevent other respiratory diseases and, importantly, it does not provide protection from SARS," the WHO cautioned. However, "high vaccination coverage may reduce the number of pneumonia cases caused by influenza (and) reducing pneumonia cases may also lower the possibility of misdiagnosing influenza as SARS," the agency said. Flu vaccination programs should focus on the elderly and those who are already sick from other illnesses, as well as health workers, the WHO said. "Suspected SARS cases can result in considerable disruption of health services as well as costly precautionary measures and investigations. "Decreasing the number of pneumonia cases, through influenza vaccination, can help in the early identification of a true SARS outbreak _ should the disease recur. Early detection is essential to keep the disease contained," the organization said. In Canada, most people considered to be at-risk from influenza, such as the elderly, can get free flu shots. Ontario remains the only jurisdiction that offers a free universal influenza immunization program.MILO LAKESIDE SERVICES Hours of Operation Monday & Tuesday: Closed Wednesday & Thursday: 9:00 - 6:00pm Friday & Saturday: 9:00 - 7:00pm THE MONTH OF OCTOBER SPECIALS Every Wednesday in October, you will receive 2 cents off every liter of Gas you purchase.

The Definition of Barbecue It’s the only type of cooking a “real” man will do. When a man volunteers to do the “BBQ”, the following chain of events 1. The woman goes to the store. 2. The woman fixes the salad, vegetables, and dessert. 3. The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils, and takes it to the man, who is lounging beside the grill, beer in hand. 4. The man places the meat on the grill. 5. The woman goes inside to set the table and check the vegetables. 6. The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. put into place: 7. The man takes the meat off the grill and hands it to the woman. 8. The woman prepares the plates and brings them to the table. 9. After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes. 10. Everyone praises man and thanks him for his cooking efforts. 11. The man asks the woman how she enjoyed “her night off. And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women.- {/(^p ^y Xtoon^ v/l nnmit 0o&tnmc flirty Saftaurday, Nov ls(tWALKER S COUNTRY N' WESTERN OCTOBER SPECIALS WALKER S COUNTRY N* WESTERN STORE ARRC (40 Store Hours: Mo Saturday )WWOOD, AB. 3) 534-3341 n. - Fri. - 10 a.m. 1 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. 6 p.m. CRABTREE & EVELYN PRODUCTS 25% OFF DOLLS & PLUSH 40% OFF 3 COWBOY HATS 25% OFF A BUY 1st MEN'S SHIRT-GET 2nd MEN'S SHIRT @ HALF PRICE 5 6 BUY pr.

First off, the Milo Fall Fair October 4th, be sure to take it in or take part in it. There is always a lot to see, and the supper is great. I’m always pleased to see the large amounts of entries in the Junior Section; some to carry on the show in the years to come. The following is a 50 year old recipe from a Certo circular, for liquid fruit pectin (which used to be in a bottle that I’m sure many of you will remember). CARROT MARMALADE 4 Cups pulp made from carrot & citrus mixture Approx 2 lbs Carrots - Cooked till tender mash or grind (could use food processor) 2 Oranges - grate orange rind, chop pulp and add to mashed carrots Juice of 4 Lemons - add juice to carrots and orange mix. In a large pan, put carrot-citrus mix, add 7 Cups Sugar. Cook and bring to a hard boil, boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and Zi bottle or 1 pouch of Certo Liquid Fruit Pectin. Mix Certo in well. Leave to stand for 7 minutes to avoid floating fruit. Put in hot jars, adjust lids and seal down. Enjoy. See you at the fair.

The 20th Anniversary of The Milo Municipal Library at the Milo Community Hall Friday, OCTOBER 17 A Family Night of Fun starting with Supper at 6:30 followed by a short program, door prizes, and draws, "Name That Tune" will be hosted by Katie WalkerMilo Terry Fox Run 2003 story contributed by Joanne Monner The weather turned out to be great for all - a little windy, but that only kept us cool after a long hot spell. This Runs’ success is strictly due to the great community effort put into it. I would like to thank the students and staff at the school, as well as the other community members for their participation. Joanne Monner, run organizer, and Rhonda Risebrough, Provincial Director of the Terry Fox Foundation This years’ run got off to a terrific start with the Provincial Director of The Terry Fox Foundation, Ms Rhonda Risebrough in attendance. We gathered in the gym where she spoke to us about Terry’s dream and shared successes that have been made possible thru the Terry Fox Foundation. She congratulated Milo on their terrific support for this project and is amazed how we seem to continue to have such successful runs year after year. The pledges for this year came in at a whopping $11,000.00. For the past few years we have had about $7,800.00 on the first day, and then usually end up with about $10-11,000.00.1 can hardly wait to see what our total will turn out to be this year.I would like to thank the following volunteers: Katie Walker checks on run participants and “picks up stragglers” with Bill Deitz’s golf cart. • Mr. Weich was the timer • Mrs Winnipeg handed out popsicles at the finish line • Linda Booth manned the registration desk • Water stations were manned by Tina Shier and Wendy Vannatta • Iris Gough worked in the Library for me • McCain donated orange juice boxes that were brought down from the Terry Fox office • Ken and Monnie Fetkenher donated the glasses • Mrs. Walker manned the dam (with the aid of the Bill Deitz golf cart). Seen and Heard about the Run: Greg Deitz showed up about 10 minutes after we started (running on Deitz time and sporting a “University of Milo” shirt) and told us he had registered on-line. He just decided to do it 2 days before, figured everyone around here had been asked to donate, so he e-mailed his buddies and told them they either had to donate or run with him. He had $1300.00 that day and has more than doubled it since. Mr. Cranston was hobbling around school for a week prior to the run(maybe trying to work up some sympathy), but was actually seen running, so his ankle injury healed up in time. Manning the water station is Wendy Vannatta. Having a cold drink: Maurissa Umscheid, Jennifer Way and Cali Fetkenher.Ethel Heather made her run a day early, and Maxine Deitz and Alice Bartsch were hoofing it once again. Some really young participants took part.
