I wanted to share with you my experience at the Olympic Academy of Canada that was held the first week of July. I was chosen for this, and when asked what it was about, I had no idea really. Just that it was put on by the Canadian Olympic Committee and I was excited - but now I'd like to share with you a couple highlights. First of all, there were 50 delegates chosen from across the country, 20- some phenomenal guest speakers, Olympic Mission Staff volunteer facilitators and activities from 7;30am to 10pm. The delegates included Commonwealth Games athletes, Paralympian athletes, sport administrators, managing directors, journalists, volunteers, and 2010 Bid committee employees. It was certainly the most fulfilling and exciting week of my life! We experienced and discussed the Olympic Movement, and how we can all do our part' to work within it as Canadians. Even though I didn't get to venture far (U of C), it was a thrill to meet the people I did, and help expose them to places like Canada Olympic Park and good ol' Cowtown. We even got "white hatted". Now I'm an official Calgarian! One day we hit up Banff and Canmore. The majority of the group was from Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and the Maritimes, so we had some nice bragging rights about the Rockies!In the classroom we had some in-depth lectures and speeches from heroes like Charmaine Crooks (International Olympic Committee, 5-time CAN Olympian sprinter), John Furlong (head of Vancouver 2010 Organizing Committee), Earle Connor, Calgary (currently the fastest Paralympian 100m dash sprinter in the world), Sharon Wood (first North-American female to summit Mount Everest in 1984), Chris Rudge (CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee), David Masse (CBC Sports), Susan Auch (Olympic silver medallist Speed Skater), and the list went on and on! Can you imagine how excited I was to meet all these people? I love the feeling of affiliation of sport and media figures, so it was like a dream for me! Each day got better and better, and I had no idea the impact that sport played in people's lives! We even learned how to play a sport in the Paralympics - goal ball. Check out the TV coverage of these Carnes in Athens and you'll see how amazing Paralympians are. Here I've been working as a Sport Administrator for a couple years always involved in sport since I was yay big, and I thought I was the only crazy one who lived for the Olympics (and the Flames), but after meeting the 70 other die-hard Canadians, I realized that I was not the only one! Basically the ideal of "Olympism" was defined in a hundred different ways during the week and the main thing I learned is that we can all be a part of it! All of us engage in sport and physical activity in one way or another - whether playing, organizing, volunteering, etc. Whether we're NHL fans or Olympic junkies (like myself), we can all help spread the importance of physical activity, organized sport, teamwork, fair play and national pride in our elite amateur athletes. Especially with Athens Summer Olympics just a month away! Not a lot of people remember the amateur heroes unless they're commercially marketed, but, listening to Charmaine Crooks speak was like nothing I'd ever heard before. She is the epitome of empowerment, and there are many other unsung heroes out there, living amongst us in Alberta. One night we were part of a "Dinner of Champions" event hosted by Catriona LeMay Doan and Susan Auch. One of the champions I met was Phil Kuber who was an Olympic medallist in 1956 in rowing! Amazing hey - who remembers Phil for his contribution - yet he did the same thing for his sport as Gordie Howe did for hockey. Anyway, as you can tell I am a little "pumped" about the idea of sport right now, but it was a leadership academy unlike any other. I had a lot of fun representing Milo (as if I would say I'm Calgarian)! and now those delegatesall know about our huge population, immense volunteer capacity, what happens on main street Milo on a Saturday morning and what a combine really does! I would strongly encourage any of you who have the same crazy passion for sport to apply for this Academy - you don't have to be employed in the industry- it is open to anyone. The next one will be in 2006 in Montreal. My goal now is to first learn French and secondly to introduce some school teachers (possibly in Milo or Lomond) to the idea of a becoming an official Olympic School! There is a cirriculum program already in place with the Canadian Olympic Committee, and all it takes is someone to introduce it to the teachers. It is a win-win situation and I know the kids and teachers would love what this program could bring to the school and our community. Anyway, remember to cheer on Team Canada in Athens this August. Christine Nordhagen, CAN wrestling, is sure to bring home a medal - I was fortunate enough to meet her too! <Ejun) MQrvrusO Don't Forget Milo's Terry Fox Run will be held on Thursday, September 16th, 2004 starting at the School at 9:00 a.m. Pledge sheets will be at the Bank, the Store and the School.

The Heritage Canada Foundation promotes the third Monday in February each year as Heritage Day and has long advocated adopting this date as a national holiday. Its annual Heritage Day theme posters and teachers' kits are distributed through the various school boards across the country. The Heritage Canada Foundation is proud to present Heritage 2004: Defending Canada: Our Military Heritage Sites and Buildings featuring historic military sites, heritage buildings and war memorials. Spread across Canada, our forts, barracks, armouries and aerodromes strongly proclaim the story of defending Canada. In almost every community, there is a war memorial or commemorative plaque honouring those who have suffered and died defending our nation. There is a 2004 teacher's guide, for teachers and youth leaders, which provides a basic understanding of how various military structures have served Canada's defence needs over the centuries. Highlighted are various types of defence: land defence, coastal defence, air defence, Cold War defence, and memorials. While this guide is intended primarily for teachers, it is also for students or anyone interested in knowing a little more about Canada's military heritage. From the time of the early Aboriginals to today, we all have the same needs: to defend our homes, our communities and our nation from intruders.

Thank you to all the exhibitors who brought stuff for people to look at, the donators for all the great stuff we had at the auction, the guys and girl who shaved their heads for the cause, the bands who entertained us all day, and the many other volunteers who helped out in various ways. My biggest THANK YOU goes to the residents of Milo and the surrounding area who supported the day by attending the events, bidding on auction items including the head shaving, pledging money to the head shavers, donating money and generally showing our out of town guests how much fun we can have in a small town. Milo is a small town with a very big heart. You should all be very proud of what we did and the amount of money we will be able to give to a very worthwhile cause. Our plan is to give out the funds at the Lions BBQ on Sunday August 8 at 3pm. Hope to see you all there.

As he sat there sipping his whiskey, a young lady sat down next to him. After she ordered her drink, she turned to the cowboy and asks him, "Are you a real cowboy?" "Well, I have spent my whole life on the ranch herding cows, breaking horses, mending fences. I guess I am," replies the cowboy. After a short while he asks her what she is. "I've never been on a ranch so I'm not a cow-boy, but I am a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As soon as I get up in the morning I think of women, when I eat, shower and watch TV, everything seems to make me think of women," says the young woman. A short while later, she left and the cowboy ordered another drink. A couple sat down next to him and asked, " Are you a real cowboy?" "I always thought I was, but I just found out I'm a lesbian. xxx There was a religious lady that had to do a lot of traveling for her business, so she did a lot of flying. Flying made her very, very nervous, so she always took her Bible along with her to read as it helped relax her on the long flights. One time, she was sitting next to a man. When he saw her pull out her Bible, he gave a little chuckle and smirk and went back to what he was doing. After awhile, he turned to her and asked, "You don't really believe all that stuff in there do you?' The lady replied, "Of course I do. It is the Bible. He said, "Well, what about that guy that was swallowed by that whale?" She replied, "Oh, Jonah. Yes, I believe that, it is in the Bible." He asked," well, how do you suppose he survived all that time inside the whale?" The Lady said, "Well, I don't really know. I guess when I get to heaven, I will ask him." "What if Jonah isn't in heaven?" the man asked sarcastically. "Then you can ask him," replied the lady. SUCCESS IS . At age 4 success is . not peeing your pants.

During the summer of 2003, the virus was found in mosquitoes, birds, horses and humans in the province. One in five people who do become infected become ill. Severe illness associated with the virus is rare, but risk increases with age. This Alberta Health and Wellness site is well organized and contains information and advice about West Nile.

During the early hours of Sunday morning, July 25, anyone fortunate enough to be looking skyward would have seen a spectacular light show. I was lucky enough to have been outside to witness the most outstanding Northern Lights display I have every seen. The aurora were bright and dramatic nearly from horizon to horizon with dancing streamers coursing across the sky. The colour was white but I have never seen the lights cover so much of the sky, including to the south, or the ribbons of light move so quickly. The picture at left (looking directly upward) was taken in Quebec that night. Appararently, a giant sunspot (number 652) was the source of so much extra energy. The article below is from science.howstuffworks.com and provides an explanation of how the Northern lights originate: The aurora borealis (the Northern Lights) and the aurora australis (the Southern Lights) have always fascinated mankind, and people even travel thousands of miles just to see the brilliant light shows in the earth's atmosphere. The aurbras, both surrounding the north magnetic pole (aurora borealis) and south magnetic pole (aurora australis) occur when highly charged electrons from the solar wind interact with elements in the earth s atmosphere. Solar winds stream away from the sun at speeds of about 1 million miles per hour. When they reach the earth, some 40 hours after leaving the sun, they follow the lines of magnetic force generated by the earth's core and flow through the magnetosphere, a teardrop­shaped area of highly charged electrical and magnetic fields. As the electrons enter the earth's upper atmosphere, they will encounter atoms of oxygen and nitrogen at altitudes from 20 to 200 miles above the earth's surface. The color of the aurora depends on which atom is struck, and the altitude of the meeting. Green - oxygen, up to 150 miles in altitude Red - oxygen, above 150 miles in altitude Blue - nitrogen, up to 60 miles in altitude Purple/violet - nitrogen, above 60 miles in altitude All of the magnetic and electrical forces react with one another in constantly shifting combinations. These shifts and flows can be seen as the auroras "dance," moving along with the atmospheric currents that can reach 20,000,000 amperes at 50,000 volts. (In contrast, the circuit breakers in your home will disengage when current flow exceeds 15-30 amperes at 120 volts.) The auroras generally occur along the auroral ovals," which center on the magnetic poles (not the geographic poles) and roughly correspond with the Arctic and Antarctic circles. There are times, though, when the lights are farther south, usually when there are a lot of sunspots. Sunspot activity follows an 11-year cycle. - submitted by Barb GodkinTHANK YOU’S I was very blessed when so many family and friends came together to celebrate my 80th birthday on Sunday, June 27th. To all who had a part in making this day so special, to all who sent cards, flowers and phone calls, I am truly grateful. Thank you. June Beckner xxx I would like to thank all those who came to visit me in the Lethbridge Hospital and also after I came home. Thanks for the cards, phone calls, chocolates, flowers and baking.
