The festivities moved to inside the curling rink were those in attendance enjoyed hot dogs, beverages, a visit from Santa, turkey curling, and a Christmas carols sing-a-long. Several people were bold enough to brave the weather for one hay ride to top the evening off thanks to Steve Rooke and his antique tractor. The fireworks had to be postponed due to the weather. Mark Doram agreed to have them moved to be set off after the Milo Community School’s annual Christmas production. Thank you to all who help get the event organized and set up and to all those who attended, you made the 4th Annual Milo Family Christmas a success. We look forward to seeing you and many more next year!Kids are Quick - Brilliant Teacher: “Maria, go to the map and find North America.” Maria: “Here it is.” Teacher: “Correct.

Welcome to 2009! We are looking forward to a very busy and prosperous year and wish the same for all the Village residents and community! Family Christmas Celebration Thanks Very Much! To Melissa Rooke and Deanna Edwards and all their helpers for another successful Family Christmas Celebration. Mother Nature did not co-operate on Celebration Night as planned for the Fireworks, but the large crowd who attended the evening presentation of the Milo Community School Christmas Production on December 16, 2008 were instead treated to a fantastic pyrotechnic show! Thanks to Mark Doram for doing the fireworks presentation again this year. *************************************************************************************************************** Snow and Sidewalks We realize that Mother Nature has really piled it up out there! Our thanks to all the Village residents for doing their best to keep their sidewalks clear after the many December snow falls and strong winds keep covering things up. Your respect of everyone's safety is very much valued. While we would really appreciate it if everyone could clear the snow from the sidewalks adjacent to your property with 48 hours of a snow event, we realize that the quantity and size of drifts makes this near impossible in some cases! If anyone with "Snow Machinery" is able to assist a neighbor who might be struggling with their sidewalks it would be very much appreciated. ################################################### Snow and the Roads. The Village is trying very hard to keep up! Our intention is to plow and sand as soon as possible after major snowfalls/winds to keep the streets in passable driving condition, but common sense and slower speeds should prevail, please!! We will address the entrances to the Village and Centre Street first and get to all the residential streets as quickly as possible following that. Unfortunately, alleys will not be cleared by the Village. If there are areas that are missed and require our attention, please contact the Office 403-599-3883 or Public Works 403-485-5524 and we will do our best to remedy any problems!“Burt’s Point of View” This is a contraption, which we can’t live without, that’s if we have a driver s license. The modern automobile today is for the better, and for the worse. If it s luxury and convenience you’re after, it’s there with an outrageous price tag. I ask you, just what are you paying for and are you really getting your money s worth? Are you actually paying for an automobile as a means of transportation or a luxury sedan with everything at your fingertips? I have to agree that the automobile has advanced a great deal over the years. Sure I will admit it is awesome, but here is what I’m driving at, their options. Are they really a necessity for the operation of a vehicle? To name a few; power sunroofs; power antennas; power seats; heated seats; computerized dash controls; computerized mileage readouts; outside temperature reading; compass directional readings; automatically controlled headlights and dome lights; as you know, there are many, many more luxurious options on today’s modern vehicle (none of these pertain to it’s operation). If this keeps up, an extra large compartment for an electrical power plant will be required. Then there are many sensors that tell us things we should know or take into consideration as a vehicle operator. I’ll admit they are handy for us old folks, (since I turned 65, I jokingly tell everybody I’m an old man now). Sensors to tell us when an oil change is required, sensors to tell us when our tires are low on air, sensors to tell us when we are too close to an object when we are backing up, and the list goes on and on and on. Then there are sensors that don’t even make any sense. Okay, another handy luxury which we never even dreamed of years ago, remote controlled door locks and remote controlled starting system for starting vehicle while in the house or not to far away from it. The point I’m trying to maxe is two things, first, we did without these luxurious options for years and the vehicle served it’s purpose, second, these options added a considerably amount of unnecessary dollars to our present day vehicle. Not only has the vehicle become a luxury but also it is a necessity in our daily lives. If one can afford a vehicle with all these luxuries, no problem, but what about the average poor O’Joe or poor O’Burt with a below average income? We can t afford to purchase a new vehicle every so many years or whenever the warranty runs out. How about the costly repairs when it does or what isn’t covered by warranty such as the new unnecessary style of tires? These are another senseless expense; the manufactures have already designed practicable ones (radials), which served the purpose; held air, provided a smooth ride, and have a long life. The increased cost comes in the odd tire size and design. My sensor tells me that it is senseless to pay up to a thousand dollars for a set that served the same purpose for far less. Low tire sensors in the tires is a good idea but as a vehicle operator, it should be compulsory to check, or to have them checked, every month and a wheel alignment every so many kilometers. This preventive measure not only will save on fuel but tire wear.For many, many years a fuel gauge has served as a means of an indicator to tell the operator how much fuel is in the fuel tank. By the way, “E” stands for , not enough. Nowadays some vehicles have a readout to tell you how many kilometers of fuel usage you have remaining in your tank, but it is only as reliable as your fuel gauge if an operator were to take notice to either. Another necessary but overkill added expense is the omission control system. With today’s technology and experience, Fm more than sure the exhaust leaving an engine can be converted into a useful state by breaking it down by means of reusing the unbumt fuel and breaking the remaining exhaust down to a useful state, (that is up to the engineers to figure out, that’s if they aren’t too busy glamorizing vehicles for more sales). I don’t know if you care or not, but if they ever had a mechanic or a body man in a new vehicle advertisement, the sales would decline drastically. I say this because of the outrageous cost for vehicle maintenance and repairs at today s outrageous prices. A little spark, a little coil A little gas, a little oil A piece of tin, two-inch of board Put them altogether and you have a Ford. Lots of options, lots of computers Put altogether you have a commuter Lots of plastic in the new Ford Makes a vehicle couldn’t afford. So there you have it, the old and the new, and there is no end to the modem automobile innovations. “And that was my Point of View” ('Ami Note: I was pleased to hear comments on my interpretation of the consumption of alcohol and what it can do for you, thanks.k bv PetSafe, s# Pet Containment Pet Doors Bark Control Remote Trainers Complete Installation & Training 100 % Satisfaction or Money Back Sonic Bark Control, No Collar needed even works on your neighbors dog !

You're Getting Grandchildren I+'s not how old you are, it's what you do that makes you a grandmother. You see, grandmothers do certain things that set them apart from other people: A Grandmother . Gets cold in the middle of the night and wonders if her grandchildren are covered. Feels her grandchild's opinion should be respected - even before he can talk. Laughs at her grandchild's jokes, even when he gets the punch line wrong. Laughs heartily at her grandchild's remarks about Grandma being old. Lets a grandchild nap on a $500.00 bedspread. Fills the entire raff ie ticket book with her grandchildren's names. Kids love their grandmothers for a variety of reasons. Here are some of them. My Grandma. Always buys what I'm selling. Never puts me on hold when she hears a call-waiting signal. Never gets tired of asking me words on my spelling list. Gives me money and never says it has to be saved. Leaves my drawings up all the time and doesn't just put them up when I am visiting. Agrees that my doll does need a car seat. Your grandchildren’s parents have a more realistic point of view: A Grandmother is someone who babysits!This works in Canada Boogie strikes (If you haven 'theard of\or seen, New Information Service. . 1 -800-466-4411 Leave it up to Gooale to come up with something like this!!! Here's a number worth putting in your cell phone and your home phone speed dial: l-800-goog411. This is an awesome service from Google, and it's free -- great when you are on the road. Don't waste your money on information calls and don't waste your time manually dialing the number. I am driving along in my car and I need to call the golf course but I don't know the number. (Read my example below and watch the short video before you try this.) I hit the speed dial for information that I have programmed in (800-goog411). The voice at the other end says, "City & State." I say, " Garland , Texas " He says, "Business, Name or Type of Service." I say, Firewheel Golf Course." He says, "Connecting" and Firewheel answers the phone. How great is that? This is nationwide and Google provides the service absolutely free! Click on the link below and watch the short clip for a quick demonstration. http://www.google.com/goog411/A few of you have already listened to my bellyaching about what took place because I decided I was entitled to a new washer and matching dryer. Well, it all came about after I became a senior citizen last August. Reading about the benefits seniors were entitled to, I felt privileged and special. I said to myself, “Why not take advantage of what they have to offer?” Money wise, I’m now a little ahead of the game, even though I have conditioned myself to survive on very little since I became a contented resident of Milo with my small house, small vehicle, small income and big garden. Okay, now that the fiddle started to play a sad tune, I’ll explain my dilemma. Thinking about my old outdated leaking washing machine and dryer with a bad lint screen, I again asked myself this question, “Why don’t I take advantage of what they have to offer?” Pleased as can be, I waltzed into a furniture store and ordered a brand new 24-inch wide washer and dryer. As usual, I like to buy a well-known reliable brand product that will provide me with many years of trouble free service. Satisfied with my new purchases, thought about how my washday will be changed for the better; cleaner clothes, save on time, save on water, save on soap, save on electricity; I headed home with a content feeling that I made a wise choice. When they were delivered a week later as promised, I was ready for the moment I was anxiously waiting for, or was I? Washer no go, again read the instructions carefully and tried it again, still no go. Called saleslady and she sent out a repairman, whereas he wasn’t successful, I was delivered another new, new washer. Again, did as instructed and again no go. What did I do, phoned the sales lady again, and again she sent out the repairman again. And again no go, the store ordered me another new washer, this time before delivering the new, new, new washer to my place, they tried it out at their store, guess what, again no go. The store itself was very obliging and I was impressed how they went out of their way to satisfy me. Oh yes, stressed their apology for any inconvenience and were not at all impressed with the model concerned. Others and myself always had good luck with that popular brand of appliances. Maybe the manufacture had them set aside for when my name came up; maybe I wasn’t meant to take advantage of the Senior Citizen’s program and have a new washer and dryer; maybe as time goes on, the problem with this model machines will be rectified; just maybe my wonderful, lovely, leaking washer is ideal for the purpose of washing clothes. Actually, I summarized my misfortune to give you an indication that newer isn’t always better, and I brought it on all by myself. “So There”. Next month on “Burt’s Page” I’ll tell you all about my new cell phone upgrading brain wave.A MODERN PARABLE . . A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents, and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners, and free pens for the rower There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes, and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Ehimiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capita! investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India. Sadly, The End. Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US, claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US. The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads. IF THIS WEREN’T TRUE, IT MIGHT BE FUNNY-*A^es \NW O' tx VILLAGE^ OF MILO COMMUNITIES IN BLOOM A detailed description of the last two criteria, that being Floral Displays and Turf and Groundcovers appears on the following pages.

Later, when the nurses were going through his meager possessions, they found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital. A*sd this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet. Crabby Old_ Man What do you see nurses?.What do you see? What are you thinking.when you're looking at me? A crabby old man.not very wise, Uncertain of habit.with faraway eyes? Who dribbles his food.and makes no reply. When you say in a loud voice.'I do wish you'd try!' Who seems not to notice.the things that you do. And forever is losing .A sock or shoe? Who, resisting or not.lets you do as you will, With bathing and feeding.The long day to fill? Is that what you're thinking? .Is that what you see? Then open your eyes, nurse.you're not looking at me. I'm now an old man.and nature is cruel. Tis jest to make old age.look like a fool. The body, it crumbles.grace and vigor, depart. There is now a stone.where I once had a heart. But inside this old carcass.A young guy still dwells, And now and again.my battered heart swells I remember the joys.I remember the pain. And I'm loving and living_life over again. 1 think of the years, all too few.gone too fast. And accept the stark fact.that nothing can last. So open your eyes, people .open and see. Not a crabby old man. Look closer.see.ME!! Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within.we will all, one day, be there, too! PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM The best and most beautiful things of this world can’t be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart.COMING EVENTS FOR January 2009 One day, my daughter found some lip gloss and wanted to put some on. I told her that she would need a-mirror. She replied as a matter of fact, “Oh, no, I know where my mouth is!” (pretty smart for a three year old) ###***###***###***###***###***###***### Last summer we were at the cabin.

Sure enough, our two kids got up and started dancing around the room. Then our son .who is five, asked who was singing the song. We told him the Beatles. He raised his eyebrows and said,’ “How did bugs learn to sing like humans?” ###***###***###***###***###***###***### We were visiting my four year old’s great grandma.

"Santa takes a vacation" took Santa on a holiday through many.lands as he tried to get away from the Christmas hassle. After beating out several other hopefuls in a Santa Idol contest, the Easter Bunny got to take Santa's place. Needless to say, the rabbit was totally inept at running Christmas. Milo Kindergarten Students' Nativity Scene: Their singing was enthusiastic and very well done. Santa found Christmas wherever he visited and, to everyone's relief, returned to the North Pole where he belonged. The production ended with all the students singing Christmas songs. Thank you to ail the staff, students and parent volunteers of the Milo School and Milo Alphabets Kindergarten for producing another great Christmas show. The community really appreciates all your efforts and looks forward to this event every Christmas season! Snacks were served after - thanks to the Parent- teacher group for these. Another special treat was a fantastic fireworks display afterwards. This had to be postponed from the Milo Family Christmas night December 12 because of weather. Thank you to the organizers of the Family Christmas.Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest. The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run. I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm. For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom . If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years — canine or feline attendance is not required. To pacify you. my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door: To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets: 1. They live here. You don't. 2. If you don't wrant their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it "fur"niture. 3.1 like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 4. To you, they are an animal. To me. he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they: 1. Eat less 2. Don't ask for money all the time 3 Are easier to train 4. Normally come when called 5. Never ask to drive the car 6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends 7. Don't smoke or drink 8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions 9. Don't want to wear your clothes 10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and. 11. You don't have to pay for their wedding 12. And If they get pregnant, you can sell their children My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped She keeps it in the boot.* **They Walk Among Us!!!!!* *One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted.'Look at that dead bird!' Someone looked up at the sky and said.'where???'* **They Walk among us!!*Dan and Claudene Watt drove to Baja, Mexico in November, where Dan participated in the 41st Annual BAJA 1,000. There were a total of 371 entries. (39 states, 24-countries) This race consisted of motor cycles, A.T.V’s, stock cars and tracks; all off­road vehicles. Dan and three other team mates each had a section to ride. Dan’s section was night riding. This year the race was 641 miles long starting at Ensenada down to San Felipe and back up the Pacific coast side, finishing again at Ensenada. They completed the race in 24 hours. (Saying it was very dusty) The weather was in the 90’s but cool at night. The team rode one bike, a Honda 450 c.c. They had a very enjoyable trip.

One of them says to the bartender, “Don’t mind us, we are joined at the hip. I’m John, he’s Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please.” The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation while pouring the beers. “Been on holiday yet, lads?” “Off to England next month,” says John. “We go to England every year and rent a car and drive for miles, don’t we Jim?” Jim agrees. “Ah, England!” says the bartender. “Wonderful country . the history, the beer, the culture .” “Nah, we don’t like that British crap,” says John. “Hamburgers and Molson beer, that’s us, eh Jim? And we can’t stand the English - they’re so arrogant and rude.” “So why keep going to England?” asks the bartender. “It’s the only chance Jim gets to drive.” Jack To TheBasj Personal Pampering for the Whole 1 V t-i SCALP TREATMENTS FACIALS MANICURES PEDICURES ^ NATURAL BRONZE SPRAY TANNING Each procedure takes about 60 min ics Family Milo at Trends. 1st Wednesday & Thursday of month Vulcan at Hair Hut.3rd & 4th Wednesdays of month 2nd, 3rd & 4th Thursday of month Peter Dawson Lodge.2nd Wednesday of month Gift Certificates avnilnhlo For appointment^ Sheila Winch 599-22J3 or 485-8070 (Mf 2^6!

Featuring a non-reluctant teenager named Jennifer Lin, who just wants to have fun but can't do so with her parents who are trying to choose every path for her to take. Wanting to be a goody two shoes like her parents desire, Jennifer decides to give up her parent’s dreams and follow her own heart. Jennifer gives up on being a musician (the dream job her parents have planned for) and decides to live a fun life instead. Now that she can be free, Jennifer decided to give time for sports, God, and school work. Jennifer had a lot of experiences with sports, as a child she had joined many of them. She started playing hockey, and still joins after school sports like volleyball. When playing sports she feels happiest and doesn’t think she needs to worry about anything else. Besides playing sports, this young teenager studies and works hard, hoping she will reach her ambition of becoming a psychologist/psychiatrist. Sometimes her parents discourage her, but she ignores them and works harder just to prove them wrong. Even though she gets to choose her own paths, she still doesn’t feel confident about graduating University. To gain confidence Jennifer reads her bible and listens to the verses, hoping God will be beside her on her journey of life. This girl doesn't know exactly where she is going but she knows as long as she works hard and trusts God, she will succeed! There are still a lot of bumps on the road, but this is life, and life is fair. There is always going to be problems you’re going to run into, and this girl makes them dramatic!

I wish you all a rather belated Christmas and a good year ahead. Nancy Bertschy Thanks to Burt Campbell for preparing and delivering eggs for the Lions Supper. It would not have happened without you. Be careful, you might become a farmer! And that’s scary. Also thanks for the rides for doctor appointments, to and from hospitals through this past year. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks again Jr. and Nancy Bertschy I would like to thank everyone who sent us sympathy cards and all the phone calls after our Mom (Juanita Crabb’s) passing. She was a great Mom and we will miss her dearly. Renie & Ron Chambers and Donna Reimer & families SENIOR DRESS CODE Many of us 'Old Folks' (those over 50, WAY over 50, or hovering near 50) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We are unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together And should be avoided: 1. A nose ring and bifocals 2. Spiked hair and bald spots 3. A pierced tongue and dentures 4. Miniskirts and support hose 5. Ankle bracelets and com pads 6. Speedos and cellulite 7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar 8. Biker tank tops and a heart monitor 9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge 10. Bikinis and liver spots 11. Short shorts and varicose veins 12. Inline skates and a walker And last, but not least. 13. Thongs and Depends Thanks to whomever was my snow Angel. Happy New Year Milo.
