Lomond played in Lethbridge against the top team in the league on March the 6'1. Colby got the only goal for Lomond while Lethbridge got 5. We spent 20 minutes in the penalty box in this game. The next day Lethbridge came to Lomond for what would be the last playoff game for them. Lethbridge won 6-0, but the boys had a good game even with the outcome. The parents and kids had 4 days off and then headed to Thorsby for the Atom “C Provincial’s on a bus that was very' entertaining. The kids were every excited about the next few days ahead. The first game was against Calahoo on Friday morning. Lomond came from behind in this game to win it 6-3. Colby and Ethan each got 2 goals, with Kyle and Darian each getting 1 goal. Then Friday evening we played the host team Thorsby. Again we came from behind leading in the third until Thorsby tied the game up with 39 seconds left Ethan got a hat trick with Jordan getting 1 goal. Saturday we played against Fairview in the last game of round robin. Lomond ended up winning this game 10-3. Colby had 6 goals, Ethan 3, and the birthday boy Bryson with one goal. The kids had some fun swimming and then they ate pizza and birthday cake. Lomond ended up 2"" in their pool and Played 1st place Didsbury. It was a very exciting game and Lomond couldn’t make it work. Colby got 3 goals and Ethan got one in the loss of 6-4. The team has made huge progress this year and have made each and every parent proud of them. There have also been some real good friends made as we had some out of town kids come and join the team. The coaches are aiso proud of the commitment that each family has given the team. The team had a record of 24 wins, 16 loses, and 5 ties for the year. They came in lSl in one tournament and fourth in another.

On December 12, 2003, the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) became the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The customs program is now part of the new Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The Canada Revenue Agency website has steadily improved over the years with access to necessary tax forms and information online. Their interactive information service http://www.ccra- adrc.qc.ca/tax/individuals/topics-index/, a kind of “index” to tax topics, and the site’s search engine can help a non-expert find the information they need. Most of us do not have the “numbers” of tax forms memorized. I, for one, did not know that GST288 form is the “Supplement to Form GST 189 and Form GST498” form.

The winter stockpiling of gravel is nearly done and we hope it should result in a significant increase in miles graveled this season. The rapid thaw has resulted in some road damage as frozen culverts couldn’t be thawed fast enough. County crews will be working to repair any road damage done. The county grader will be able to start road grading now. We have gone to ten divisional graders so most graders will do 150 or so miles instead of 220 or so. The bridge rebuild on 542 will be an inconvenience for about two months. With road bans on, it is unfortunate. I think this work could and should have been started in early February. But as usual, the Department of Environment have their own agenda, most of which lack common sense. How much do you think those twenty or so fish cost that were “rescued” from the new bridge site. The three new John Deere graders have been put into service and Milo operator Dusty Johnson will be getting one of them. There will be no strychnine for gophers this year. Environmental people have once again stopped the sale of the only effective and affordable way to control these pests. Most environmental groups have destroyed their own backyard and now are intent on destroying ours. Reading the Species at Risk penalties, it appears offenders will receive harsher penalties than those convicted of serious crimes such as rape, murder, assault, etc. I can only hope Environmental Minister David Anderson goes down defeated by the people next election. He has some strange views on things. As usual, he makes decisions that cost us all in the end. The tax revenue from oil and gas industry in this county has now reached over 50% (see pie graph on next page). This is very significant. There is no way this county can keep up with the present service level without this revenue. Compared to Newell or Taber counties, we are small potatoes, revenue wise. The oil and gas industry may create some problems once in a while, but without this tax money, our farm land taxes would have to go up. Although not everybody has a well site on their property, the overall effect has kept many thousands of dollars in cash flow coming into this county. I do not think it is up to the Vulcan County to financially support every organization that finds itself in financial difficulty, self-inflicted or not. Although the Vulcan Day Care is necessary, it is a Vulcan town and vicinity service. If you need this service in an area the “area” should be supporting it, not the Vulcan County. The small villages in the county are self-governing Municipal authorities that have no legal ties to Vulcan County'. We may support them, but we are not required to financially support them. Occasionally we help out with snow plowing or street grading on a very limited basis. I will not support any Vulcan County finances going to these villages. As far as I know, they have not asked for any help. Our revenue can be depleted fast enough without trying to be a rich uncle to other municipal governments. There are many Government of Alberta grants available to financially support these villages, as well as their own tax base. The quotes in the Vulcan Advocate referring to me are true and I will stand behind every one of them. A meeting about the CPR land agreement will be held in Milo at 1:00 p.m. on April 5. As of March 27, no answer from Alberta Transportation about lifting the road ban on the north mile of 842.

QQl read an article that quoted a dietitian as saying that count- • ing fat grams is more reward­ing than counting calories or exchanges. Is this true? A. Recent studies suggest that individuals who are counting fat grams and reduc­ing their fat intake to 20 percent or less of total calories can successfully reduce their weight and, more impor­tantly, retain their lost weight. Compared to other nutrients, fat provides the highest level of calories per unit weight (9 calories/gram). in addition, the majority of the low-fat menus include high amounts of complex carbohydrates that are low in calories. The low-fat diet is also bulky and, thereby, filling, since it usually contains large amounts of vege­tables, fruits, peas and beans, and so on. There are special situations, however, such as diabetes or pregnancy, when counting calories and exchanges is also important. Ql read that the reason people experience cravings for • sweets is high levels of insulin in the blood. Is this true? If so, is there any way to over­come these cravings? A Insulin is an important hormone needed by the body to metabolize carbohy­drates properly. Insulin enables the * body to utilize carbohydrates to provide energy, to manufacture essential pro­teins, and to store the extra calories into glycogen or fat. Insulin is secreted from the pancreas in response to food intake. In healthy non-obese indi­viduals, the amount secreted is well matched with the amount of carbohydrates in the food. In obese non-diabetic individuals, the pancreas secretes approximately three times this amount. This is because the majority of body tissues are resistant to the actions of insulin, particularly the skeletal muscle where carbohydrates are either oxidized or converted to protein and glycogen. The increase in amount of insulin produced compensates for this resistance. Since in the obese individual the brain is not equally resistant to insulin, it is believed that the excess blood insulin levels might be a reason for frequent bouts of hunger or cravings. In order to lower the pancreatic production and, consequently, blood levels of insulin, one needs to increase the body sensitivity to insulin. At the present time, the only method with which to achieve this goal is weight reduction via a sensible and long-term weight-control program. One can also reduce the capacity of the pancreas to secrete insulin in response to carbohydrates by increasing in one's diet the proportion of complex carbohy­drates which are also high in fiber. How long does it take to gain weight after eating a large number of calories? A change in body weight is detected immediately after eating a large number of calories due to the consumed foods and drinks. Foods and drinks are first mixed and broken down into fine par­ticles and are then digested to their basic chemi­cals. These are absorbed into the circulation, where they are distributed to all body tissues. The process of digestion and absorption is usually completed within 3 to 6 hours. Part of the absorbed material is then metabolized to provide immediately-needed calories. The excess calories are stored in the form of lean or fat tissues. This process is completed within 6 to 24 hours. Body weight, however, is highly influenced by changes in salt and water balance. The short-term effects of eating a large number of calories may thus be overestimated, underestimated, or delayed, dependent upon accompanying changes in body water. Similarly, the short-term effects of eating a smaller number of calories that the body needs will be modified by accompanying changes in water bal­ance. This phenomenon is particularly noticed when the caloric intake is suddenly reduced to a very low level (800 calories or less per day). The immediate effect of such a change is a rapid loss of salt or water and, consequently, a greater-than-expected weight reduction. However, within a few days, the body will readjust the kidney and endocrine sys­tems in order to restore its water or salt balance. Weight loss becomes less apparent. To assess the real impact of either high or low caloric intake on the body weight, one has to rely on longer-term, e.g., weekly, changes in body weight. ■ 'Tops rf\ce-ts TWu_r. r-rvocrA.

The customs and traditions of using eggs have been associated w ith Easter for centuries Originally Easter eggs were painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring and were used in Easter-egg rolling contests or given as gifts. After they were colored and etched with various designs the eggs were exchanged by lovers and romantic admirers, much the same as valentines. In medieval time eggs were traditionally given at Easter to the servants. In Germany eggs were given to children along with other Easter gifts Different cultures have developed their own w ays of decorating Easter eggs. Crimson eggs, to honor the blood of Christ, are exchanged in Greece. In parts of Germany and Austria green eggs are used on Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday). Slavic peoples decorate their eggs in special patterns of gold and silver Austrian artists design patterns by fastening ferns and tiny plants around the eggs, which are then boiled. The plants are then removed revealing a striking white pattern. The Poles and Ukrainians decorate eggs with simple designs and colors. A number of eggs are made in the distinctive manner called pysanki (to design, to write) Pysanki eggs are a masterpiece of skill and workmanship. Melted beeswax is applied to the fresh white egg. It is then dipped in successive baths of dye. After each dip wax is painted over the area where the preceding color is to remain. Eventually a complex pattern of lines and colors emerges into a w ork of art In Germany and other countries eggs used for cooking where not broken, but the contents were removed by piercing the end of each egg with a needle and blowing the contents into a bowl. The hollow eggs were died and hung from shrubs and trees during the Easter Week. The Armenians would decorate hollow eggs with pictures of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and other religious designsEaster 2005 When is Easter?

The family did a great job of honoring this most senior lady in their life, the Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, on this special birthday. Thanks for letting us share in the occasion. I think we need to stop and show these senior people we appreciate their struggle for life in such trying situations in some of the most difficult years. Many have put those difficult years from memory and like to think only of the good times. Which were of course the good times that kept them going through times of adversity. In some ways these were probably better times than we live in today, people did seem happier, and had time to visit with their neighbors. Anyway “Hats Off” to the seniors you’re a great group! The following is a great surviving recipe of days gone by. RHUBARB JAM 1. Cover 10 cups of dice rhubarb with 10 cups of granulated sugar and let stand overnight. 2. Next morning: Place mixture in preserving kettle and bring to a simmering point. Let simmer for 1.5 hours. 3. Add 2 pkgs of Jello jelly powder (strawberry flavour). Let boil 10 minutes, then place in hot, sterilized jars. Seal while hot. Makes about 8 pints In Memory of Bob Monner It’s hard to believe a year has already passed, The time you had with us flew by much too fast. The weather’s a changin’ - seeding season is close by We know you’re in a safer place - sense you smiling from the sunny sky Thinking back on the years - oh the wonderful times we shared Your constant laughter and smile indicated how much you cared.
