There are 289 Ag. Societies in Alberta. Ag. Societies host agricultural events such as fairs, operate community facilities, and partner with other service groups. In our case, the Ag. Society was formed to meet the needs of, first the Racemeet, and then other organizations in terms of having a legal entity for ownership of facilities, insurance, etc. We are also a registered charity and can issue official tax receipts. The Fall Fair, Milo Community Flail, Milo Arena, Rural Initiatives and Canopener are all part of this organization. Any adult in the community can be a member of the Ag. Society. To meet society's act requirements, there is an annual fee of $ 1 to become a member. You are always welcome. Currently, we receive some provincial funds to benefit the community. Donations are usually made to Stars and Vulcan EMS, as well as school and a variety of other community projects. Please mail your applications to the Ag. Society before November 20. (Box 156, Milo).

Over 150 people joined us for a BBQ beef supper and birthday cake at the hall. Displays around the hall included a special sign for the anniversary made by Brenda Prentice (pictured at left), our poetry contest entries and pictures taken throughout the years. A program followed with Greg Deitz as master of ceremonies. Barb Godkin provided the library history, Brenda Prentice read the poem she had written for the grand opening in 1983, and poetry contest winners read their winning poems. (See article elsewhere in the Can Opener). We also had a number of prize draws and the draw for the Friends of Milo Municipal Library oak bookcase raffle. Many thanks to David Healy for constructing and donating such a beautiful bookcase, pictured at left. The very lucky winner was Shirley Wilson. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets on this raffle. (Above) Oak Bookcase constructed and donated by David Healy for the Friends Raffle. (Right) MC Greg Deitz, Darren Thompson reads a winning poem.(Above) Some students from the grade 1 & 2 class at Milo School read their class poem. Led by their teacher, Phyllis Phair, the students are: (left to right) Kylee Booth, Brianna McKay, Adrienne Deitz, Sylvia Burgess, Rory Lahd, Garrett Gore, Rylee Deitz, Larissa Booth and Kevin Lin. Poetry contest winners (two in each age group category) received a Chapters gift card and handcrafted book marks made by Linda Booth. After the program, a number of people stayed for “Name that Tune” fun led by M.C. Katie Walker (pictured at left). Teams were awarded points for guessing the correct song and artist or movie and for their dancing and other activities that caught the MC’s eye (such as standing on their heads). The kids danced up a storm. Prizes for the winning teams were new cars (tiny ones) and “dinner for two” (Kraft Dinner). Milo Municipal Library would sincerely like to thank the many, many volunteers who helped with our party. Thanks to: • Greg Deitz and Katie Walker for their M.C. duties and making the evening such fun. • David Healy for donating the bookcase for our raffle. • Linda Booth for making all the beautiful book mark prizes for the poetry contest. • Brenda Prentice for making the anniversary sign. • The many volunteers who donated salads for supper. • all of our Library Board volunteers and staff for organizing the party.Winner £ Heather Lahd-Family Event Prize Morgan Nelson- l Free Book Andrew Vooys- 1 Free Book r v\ . - a illlfig WKVALUVENTURE TRAVEL Box 84, Milo, Alberta T0L1L0 Phone-(403)599-2406 or (403)485-0621 presents Theatre Calgary CHARLES DICKENS' .9* LADIES!

Rankin, Ph.D. Weight loss occurs when you make it occur. ew don’t jus to a new the plan lunar c ginnings can occur at any time and they |appen because the calendar turns over age. Weight loss doesn't occur because I align, the omens are right, or a new __^starts. Weight loss occurs because you make it occur. Making changes to your life requires more than the impetus gained by the symbolism of a new month. It requires motivation, information, skills, and support. It might need a journal, but it doesn’t need a calendar. You don’t just lose weight by merely wanting to do it. You actually have to develop a feasible plan and then go out and do it. And it’s the going out and doing it that's the problem. I believe that the real problem with weight loss is putting the program into practice. The actual behaviors—drinking water, going to meetings, managing portion sizes, etc.— are not difficult. The good news is that regardless of how many previously unsuccessful attempts you have made, each new start represents a fresh opportunity for success. In fact, the research shows that with any lifestyle change-losing weight, quitting smoking, giving up alcohol—you have as much chance of being successful on the nth attempt as you do on the first. Readers of the book Inspired to Lose [see discount coupon on page 18] will find many stories of people who struggled for a long time—often years—before finally being successful. So when you are starting out again with hope on a new beginning, here are some pointers to bear in mind. well.) Make sure you don’t repeat the same mistakes. Also important: don't forget to review what you did right in the past. People learn most by trial and success, not trial and error. Focusing on your strengths will not only encourage you, but also provide good information about how you could structure your program most effectively. > Stay mindful of what you are trying to do. Each day, spend a minute or two focusing on why you are trying to lose weight and visualizing successfully handling the challenges of the day ahead. This is a gr6at investment of your time. Just think about it for a moment. When you have done well, it is because you were able to stay focused. So make sure you spend time each day getting focused. Be Positive. A fresh start is exactly that. Don’t get hung up on memories of past failures. We are constantly re-inventing ourselves, and our circumstances may change. You are a different person than you were in previous attempts, so don’t talk yourself into failure by focusing too much on what you did wrong in the past. Learn from those mistakes but don’t dwell on them. Assume you are going to be successful. Tops mee-ts e^/ec<^ tHave a clearly defined plan, expressed as specific behaviors. For example, eat less than 35 grams of fat per day, walk for 30 minutes four days a week, drink 64 fluid ounces of water per day. t Learn from previous weight-loss attempts. Did you try to do too much? Did you get too easily discouraged? Did you stop going to TOPS meetings when you didn’t do well? (Definitely a mistake. It’s more important to go to meetings when you are struggling than when you are doing I KjJrsc^Gu^ £. 3ofpf) H° p (T Lu. tC, k u.rc_Y\ £uer^or\e- AJ6LI<Lcrr\why Computers Sometimes Crash! by Dr. Seuss. (Read this to yourself aloud - It's great!) If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the doubleclicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash!wny computers sometimes v^rasn; uy ui . ocuss. rage z If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network Is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall. And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang. When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

A huge thank you to all my friends and family for the very generous Terry Fox pledges. Your support was great again this year. Hopefully I'll be back walking in 2004 for the same cause. Thanks again. Ethel Heather You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. <zMjLohael and <zA/[oniaa ^Mpnnnex along u&itfr Jloxne and Qxdg ^J-^inhexton axe. jxteamed ho announce the engagement of ffznnifex and !Z"Jgtex. ezNo mavdage date (uu. get lie iei. Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps, Colds and Flu are potentially life-threatening for people with compromised immune systems. Please: 1. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day to prevent the spread of germs. 2. If you are ill or not feeling well, stay home. This prevents the spread of germs and also allows your body time to recover, much sooner. 3. If you are exposed to or contract chicken pox, measles, etc. in our community or another, please notify the school. By contacting us, those with compromised immune systems can be alerted to the possibility of coming in contact to these diseases. Measles and mumps are preceded by high fever for up to 5 days before the illness occurs. Chicken pox - the immunization shot is a live vaccine and can cause reaction for up to 42 days. Those with compromised immune systems CANNOT be exposed to this virus. Those who receive a chicken pox immunization could have the following reactions. For 0-19 days a rash can occur around the injection sight. For 1 - 26 days a person could get a rash on their body. In either of these two instances, the person is contagious and should be treated as if he/she HAS the chicken pox. For zero - 42 days a fever could occur. 4. As a courtesy, let neighbors and friends know if you or yours have been ill, before visiting.News from the Milo l's and 2's When I asked my students if they could tell me what month came after September, most of them answered, "Halloween!" This holiday, I see, is second only to Christmas in the eyes of many little ones and much discussion followed regarding what one should be for Halloween and of course how much candy one might receive. I thought I would begin this month by sharing with you a very funny anecdote on this very topic. Early in October, one of our little students enthusiastically declared he was going to be Batman, and to emphasize his point he said that he would pick Mrs. Burgess up and fly away with her. To demonstrate, he promptly wrapped his arms around Lynn's leg and struggled to lift her off the ground. After several grunts and some exertion on his part, he dropped his head, walked away and muttered, * I am going to be a pirate." (Lynn and I are still laughing.) This month finds us finishing up two big units. We have finished studying the five senses and are looking forward to the next Science unit: "Building Things". In keeping with this theme, I had the kids “build" a papier mache jack-o-lantern for a Halloween art project- a little messy, but it was fun. Perhaps you will see some of these creations adorning a familiar window ledge or two. Th^ kids did an excellent job. We concluded our fairy tale unit with a reader's theatre version of "The Ugly Duckling". Mrs. Burgess videotaped us and we were able to "critique" our performance afterwards. What a lot of smiles and giggles! Thank you to the grade nine students for assisting us in making our masks for this activity. The next LA unit will complement our current Social Studies topic: "All About Our Community", and will have many connections with the very fast approaching Christmas and all the activities that go with this exciting time of year. We have several thank yous to extend this month. A very special thank you goes out to Mrs. Linda Booth for the beautiful handmade bookmarks we all received for participating in the Milo Library Poetry contest. Our collaborative poem received honourable mention. Congratulations, too, to Rylee for winning in his age category. Thank you also to Mrs. Iris Sough and the Lutheran Church for supplying us each with a spooky Halloween pencil. We have been using our spooky pencils every day and the length of them now is a good testament to how much we appreciate them! Maxine Deitz donated enough gourds to the grade 1 and 2 class that we all had one to decorate. Thank you Maxine!

Your kindness has meant so much to us all, God Bless. Charlie and Edna Shield. Linda & Ian Ainsworth. Teresa & Michael White and families. We would like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers, food and phone calls, and the tremendous support of the community expressed to us after the recent loss of our mother Kate Howell. Your thoughtfulness is truly appreciated. Dorothy Way and family Margaret Howell Shirley Vair and family Betty Nelson and family Wendy MacKenzie and family Dorothy Craine and family. We cannot begin to express how much the support of family, friends and neighbors has meant to us since Lisa's diagnosis. We thank you for the many cards, gifts, food, prayers and well wishes we have received. You have done so many things that have made it possible for us to deal with Lisa's health rather than worry about other important things such as harvest, Evan and Gina, housekeeping, meals, work, school, and the list goes on. It truly does take a village to raise a child. Lisa is doing very well and many days she feels better than she has for months. Her physical and emotional strength comes not only from her treatment but very much from your kindness and prayers. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from the Milo and the surrounding communities. Sincerely, Lisa, Keith, Donna, Evan and Gina. THANK YOU to everyone who brought cotton candy at the Tall Fair. $123.00 was raised and sent to STARS. Jerry, Donna & Courtney Gautreau. We would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, food and also for the phone calls and visits when we were trying to cope with the loss of our husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Gordon Lucas. Your thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. Thank you also to everyone who gave us support while Gordon was in hospital and after his passing. A big Thank You to Tom and Joan Grant and the rest of the Grant family for the wonderful meal they provided us before the service. We are so lucky to live in such caring and supportive communities as Lomond and Milo.

There are 289 Ag. Societies in Alberta. Ag. Societies host agricultural events such as fairs, operate community facilities, and partner with other service groups. In our case, the Ag. Society was formed to meet the needs of, first the Racemeet, and then other organizations in terms of having a legal entity for ownership of facilities, insurance, etc. We are also a registered charity and can issue official tax receipts. The Fall Fair, Milo Community Flail, Milo Arena, Rural Initiatives and Canopener are all part of this organization. Any adult in the community can be a member of the Ag. Society. To meet society's act requirements, there is an annual fee of $ 1 to become a member. You are always welcome. Currently, we receive some provincial funds to benefit the community. Donations are usually made to Stars and Vulcan EMS, as well as school and a variety of other community projects. Please mail your applications to the Ag. Society before November 20. (Box 156, Milo).

Over 150 people joined us for a BBQ beef supper and birthday cake at the hall. Displays around the hall included a special sign for the anniversary made by Brenda Prentice (pictured at left), our poetry contest entries and pictures taken throughout the years. A program followed with Greg Deitz as master of ceremonies. Barb Godkin provided the library history, Brenda Prentice read the poem she had written for the grand opening in 1983, and poetry contest winners read their winning poems. (See article elsewhere in the Can Opener). We also had a number of prize draws and the draw for the Friends of Milo Municipal Library oak bookcase raffle. Many thanks to David Healy for constructing and donating such a beautiful bookcase, pictured at left. The very lucky winner was Shirley Wilson. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets on this raffle. (Above) Oak Bookcase constructed and donated by David Healy for the Friends Raffle. (Right) MC Greg Deitz, Darren Thompson reads a winning poem.(Above) Some students from the grade 1 & 2 class at Milo School read their class poem. Led by their teacher, Phyllis Phair, the students are: (left to right) Kylee Booth, Brianna McKay, Adrienne Deitz, Sylvia Burgess, Rory Lahd, Garrett Gore, Rylee Deitz, Larissa Booth and Kevin Lin. Poetry contest winners (two in each age group category) received a Chapters gift card and handcrafted book marks made by Linda Booth. After the program, a number of people stayed for “Name that Tune” fun led by M.C. Katie Walker (pictured at left). Teams were awarded points for guessing the correct song and artist or movie and for their dancing and other activities that caught the MC’s eye (such as standing on their heads). The kids danced up a storm. Prizes for the winning teams were new cars (tiny ones) and “dinner for two” (Kraft Dinner). Milo Municipal Library would sincerely like to thank the many, many volunteers who helped with our party. Thanks to: • Greg Deitz and Katie Walker for their M.C. duties and making the evening such fun. • David Healy for donating the bookcase for our raffle. • Linda Booth for making all the beautiful book mark prizes for the poetry contest. • Brenda Prentice for making the anniversary sign. • The many volunteers who donated salads for supper. • all of our Library Board volunteers and staff for organizing the party.Winner £ Heather Lahd-Family Event Prize Morgan Nelson- l Free Book Andrew Vooys- 1 Free Book r v\ . - a illlfig WKVALUVENTURE TRAVEL Box 84, Milo, Alberta T0L1L0 Phone-(403)599-2406 or (403)485-0621 presents Theatre Calgary CHARLES DICKENS' .9* LADIES!

Rankin, Ph.D. Weight loss occurs when you make it occur. ew don’t jus to a new the plan lunar c ginnings can occur at any time and they |appen because the calendar turns over age. Weight loss doesn't occur because I align, the omens are right, or a new __^starts. Weight loss occurs because you make it occur. Making changes to your life requires more than the impetus gained by the symbolism of a new month. It requires motivation, information, skills, and support. It might need a journal, but it doesn’t need a calendar. You don’t just lose weight by merely wanting to do it. You actually have to develop a feasible plan and then go out and do it. And it’s the going out and doing it that's the problem. I believe that the real problem with weight loss is putting the program into practice. The actual behaviors—drinking water, going to meetings, managing portion sizes, etc.— are not difficult. The good news is that regardless of how many previously unsuccessful attempts you have made, each new start represents a fresh opportunity for success. In fact, the research shows that with any lifestyle change-losing weight, quitting smoking, giving up alcohol—you have as much chance of being successful on the nth attempt as you do on the first. Readers of the book Inspired to Lose [see discount coupon on page 18] will find many stories of people who struggled for a long time—often years—before finally being successful. So when you are starting out again with hope on a new beginning, here are some pointers to bear in mind. well.) Make sure you don’t repeat the same mistakes. Also important: don't forget to review what you did right in the past. People learn most by trial and success, not trial and error. Focusing on your strengths will not only encourage you, but also provide good information about how you could structure your program most effectively. > Stay mindful of what you are trying to do. Each day, spend a minute or two focusing on why you are trying to lose weight and visualizing successfully handling the challenges of the day ahead. This is a gr6at investment of your time. Just think about it for a moment. When you have done well, it is because you were able to stay focused. So make sure you spend time each day getting focused. Be Positive. A fresh start is exactly that. Don’t get hung up on memories of past failures. We are constantly re-inventing ourselves, and our circumstances may change. You are a different person than you were in previous attempts, so don’t talk yourself into failure by focusing too much on what you did wrong in the past. Learn from those mistakes but don’t dwell on them. Assume you are going to be successful. Tops mee-ts e^/ec<^ tHave a clearly defined plan, expressed as specific behaviors. For example, eat less than 35 grams of fat per day, walk for 30 minutes four days a week, drink 64 fluid ounces of water per day. t Learn from previous weight-loss attempts. Did you try to do too much? Did you get too easily discouraged? Did you stop going to TOPS meetings when you didn’t do well? (Definitely a mistake. It’s more important to go to meetings when you are struggling than when you are doing I KjJrsc^Gu^ £. 3ofpf) H° p (T Lu. tC, k u.rc_Y\ £uer^or\e- AJ6LI<Lcrr\why Computers Sometimes Crash! by Dr. Seuss.

When the copy on your floppy's getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions is causing unnecessary risk, then you'll have to flash the memory and you'll want to RAM your ROM, and then quickly turn off the computer and be sure to tell your Mom!

A huge thank you to all my friends and family for the very generous Terry Fox pledges. Your support was great again this year. Hopefully I'll be back walking in 2004 for the same cause. Thanks again. Ethel Heather You have to marvel at the lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which an alarm goes off by going on. English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all). That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. <zMjLohael and <zA/[oniaa ^Mpnnnex along u&itfr Jloxne and Qxdg ^J-^inhexton axe. jxteamed ho announce the engagement of ffznnifex and !Z"Jgtex. ezNo mavdage date (uu. get lie iei. Chicken Pox, Measles, Mumps, Colds and Flu are potentially life-threatening for people with compromised immune systems. Please: 1. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly throughout the day to prevent the spread of germs. 2. If you are ill or not feeling well, stay home. This prevents the spread of germs and also allows your body time to recover, much sooner. 3. If you are exposed to or contract chicken pox, measles, etc. in our community or another, please notify the school. By contacting us, those with compromised immune systems can be alerted to the possibility of coming in contact to these diseases. Measles and mumps are preceded by high fever for up to 5 days before the illness occurs. Chicken pox - the immunization shot is a live vaccine and can cause reaction for up to 42 days. Those with compromised immune systems CANNOT be exposed to this virus. Those who receive a chicken pox immunization could have the following reactions. For 0-19 days a rash can occur around the injection sight. For 1 - 26 days a person could get a rash on their body. In either of these two instances, the person is contagious and should be treated as if he/she HAS the chicken pox. For zero - 42 days a fever could occur. 4. As a courtesy, let neighbors and friends know if you or yours have been ill, before visiting.News from the Milo l's and 2's When I asked my students if they could tell me what month came after September, most of them answered, "Halloween!" This holiday, I see, is second only to Christmas in the eyes of many little ones and much discussion followed regarding what one should be for Halloween and of course how much candy one might receive. I thought I would begin this month by sharing with you a very funny anecdote on this very topic. Early in October, one of our little students enthusiastically declared he was going to be Batman, and to emphasize his point he said that he would pick Mrs. Burgess up and fly away with her. To demonstrate, he promptly wrapped his arms around Lynn's leg and struggled to lift her off the ground. After several grunts and some exertion on his part, he dropped his head, walked away and muttered, * I am going to be a pirate." (Lynn and I are still laughing.) This month finds us finishing up two big units. We have finished studying the five senses and are looking forward to the next Science unit: "Building Things". In keeping with this theme, I had the kids “build" a papier mache jack-o-lantern for a Halloween art project- a little messy, but it was fun. Perhaps you will see some of these creations adorning a familiar window ledge or two. Th^ kids did an excellent job. We concluded our fairy tale unit with a reader's theatre version of "The Ugly Duckling". Mrs. Burgess videotaped us and we were able to "critique" our performance afterwards. What a lot of smiles and giggles! Thank you to the grade nine students for assisting us in making our masks for this activity. The next LA unit will complement our current Social Studies topic: "All About Our Community", and will have many connections with the very fast approaching Christmas and all the activities that go with this exciting time of year. We have several thank yous to extend this month. A very special thank you goes out to Mrs. Linda Booth for the beautiful handmade bookmarks we all received for participating in the Milo Library Poetry contest. Our collaborative poem received honourable mention. Congratulations, too, to Rylee for winning in his age category. Thank you also to Mrs. Iris Sough and the Lutheran Church for supplying us each with a spooky Halloween pencil. We have been using our spooky pencils every day and the length of them now is a good testament to how much we appreciate them! Maxine Deitz donated enough gourds to the grade 1 and 2 class that we all had one to decorate. Thank you Maxine!

Your kindness has meant so much to us all, God Bless. Charlie and Edna Shield. Linda & Ian Ainsworth. Teresa & Michael White and families. We would like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers, food and phone calls, and the tremendous support of the community expressed to us after the recent loss of our mother Kate Howell. Your thoughtfulness is truly appreciated. Dorothy Way and family Margaret Howell Shirley Vair and family Betty Nelson and family Wendy MacKenzie and family Dorothy Craine and family. We cannot begin to express how much the support of family, friends and neighbors has meant to us since Lisa's diagnosis. We thank you for the many cards, gifts, food, prayers and well wishes we have received. You have done so many things that have made it possible for us to deal with Lisa's health rather than worry about other important things such as harvest, Evan and Gina, housekeeping, meals, work, school, and the list goes on. It truly does take a village to raise a child. Lisa is doing very well and many days she feels better than she has for months. Her physical and emotional strength comes not only from her treatment but very much from your kindness and prayers. We greatly appreciate the support we have received from the Milo and the surrounding communities. Sincerely, Lisa, Keith, Donna, Evan and Gina. THANK YOU to everyone who brought cotton candy at the Tall Fair. $123.00 was raised and sent to STARS. Jerry, Donna & Courtney Gautreau. We would like to thank everyone who sent cards, flowers, food and also for the phone calls and visits when we were trying to cope with the loss of our husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, Gordon Lucas. Your thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. Thank you also to everyone who gave us support while Gordon was in hospital and after his passing. A big Thank You to Tom and Joan Grant and the rest of the Grant family for the wonderful meal they provided us before the service. We are so lucky to live in such caring and supportive communities as Lomond and Milo.
