THANK YOU Community ! THANK YOU Ag Society ! THANK YOU Lions! for supporting us in our trip to Hamilton for LISTEN UP! Some comments from students and leaders. The thing I most enjoyed about the gathering was the fact that a0 of these thousands of people were all there to listen to God! Matthew The most meaningful part of the Listen Up Gathering was to me, the large Group Gatherings where we got to meet a lot of other people and you got to see all the other Lutheran Youth. Other fun things were the wild water works and also the Dofasco park that we all went to for the afternoon. Byron Thompson I liked the stories that Pastor Dick told. They were funny. Deanna Heather What I enjoyed the best—The wild water works Waterpark because It had two water slides and two tube slides and a big wave pooL I also liked the go carts. They were fun because you went fast and it was an indoor track. Darren Thompson Russell expressed the view of many of the youth at the fact they were given freedom to make their own choices and were allowed a late curfew. He had this to say, I liked that they didn’t enforce the 1:00 am curfew. Russel) Heather Thank-you to everyone who supported us on this trip. The energetic spirit of the 1800 youth in the “Great Hall” was something to see. Mrs Frances Thompson, Chaperone. Each time I go to a gathering I recognize there is power in God’s Word, The positive experience the students have will stay with them for many years to come. In the church there are many symbols that remind us of God’s power. At the gathering there were many other symbols that will remain with the studeuts reminding them they are loved by God. Hiank-you again to all who supported us in this trip to Hamilton. Rev.

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey I have been asked to go fishing up in Canada with my boss & several of his friends. We'll be gone for a week. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a week and set out my rod and tackle box? We're leaving from the office & I will swing by the house to pick my things up." "Oh! Please pack my new blue silk pajamas." The wife thinks this sounds a bit fishy but being the good wife she does exactly what her husband asked. The following weekend he came home a little tired but otherwise looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish? He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleye, some Bluegill, and a few Pike. But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?" You'll love the answer.The wife replies, "I did, they're in your tackle box." 114, 3rd Avenue North, Vulcan • 485-6008 Patient Services • Televisions ’ Highest standard of sterilization for your protection Quality Dental Services • Comprehensive treatment planning exams > Gentle hygiene care 1 Cosmetic Bonding and Veneers 1 Crowns, Bridges, & Bleaching 1 Complete and Partial Dentures New Patients are Always Welcome SHADES and STYLES by JanLaree Nelson Hairstyling for Men, Women And Children Call 599-2155 Open Mondays - Thursdays 9:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. Facial waxing and eyelash tinting also available.S, Milo Municipal Library Fp news t a member of the Chinook Arch OR*'' Regional Library System www.chinookarch-ab.ca mmiiiiitiiitiiiiiiiiiiittititiimiitiiiimm Our next Library Board Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 26th, 2004 at 7:30 pm. ★***-*****+******•********+**-**«*********** Our new Books On Tape Block collection has come in and we will have it for 3 months. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ We accept donations to our Library that will enhance our collection.

Seeing God, she asked, "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, two months and eight days to live." Upon recovery, the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a facelift, liposuction and tummy tuck. Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well look even nicer. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home, she was hit and killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me out of the path of that ambulance?" God replied, "Girl, I didn't recognize you!

Date: Thursday Oct 21stNews from the Milo Vs and 2's Whew! What a whirlwind ride this has been! Summer flew by! September flew by! Unfortunately, now many of our birds will by flying by— on their way down south! Hopefully, all the harvesters are finally getting their crops safely in their bins. Have you heard or noticed the blue jays that have taken up temporary residence in Milo? What a treat! It reminds me of all the Thorton W. Burgess books I read as a child. Sammy Jay's screams pierced the tranquility of the Green Forest.0 Is this prose ringing a bell with anyone? I have decided that I love all the seasons equally. I used to think that Spring was my favourite, but now I am just appreciative that I live in a country where there are four distinct seasons, each with its own beauty and benefits, and I am especially thankful that we don't have to contend with a hurricane season! When I ask my students what happens in October, they reply unfailingly with a resounding, Halloween!" What an attraction candy is! (Not to mention dressing up in a scary costume and venturing out on a. thrilling, bone-chilling, dark night!) Thanksgiving, I am afraid, is in a very distant second place. We will definitely spend a bit of time on this latter topic. We really do have so many things for which to be thankful. This year we are a class of fifteen. There are 8 grade one students and 7 grade two students. (Up from last year I am happy to report.) Only twenty days into the school year and we are already working hard in Math and Language Arts. Both grades will soon be diving into adding and subtracting. We've been doing a bit of work already on collecting data, making bar graphs and learning how to get information from a graph. Social Studies has us learning all about Our Families and the important role each of us has within our family. In Science we are learning about colour. We have learned that they are seven colours in a rainbow. We know the three primary colours and what happens when you mix two primary colours. We learned that black and white are not really colours but are called tints and they will make colours darker or lighter when added. We even made our very own rainbow in the classroom with the aid of a flashlight, water and mirror. The activity the students seem to enjoy most, however, was the day we made rainbow milk with food colouring and just a few drops of dish soap. It was easy, fun to do and definitely something everyone could try at home. Soon in Science, we will be learning about the changes that take place in Fall. The last week in September, the K to 6's at Milo School enjoyed working with and learning from Peter Puffin. Through music, song and highly interactive activities he has been teaching us how to care for and respect the Earth and all the creatures that live here. There were many tie-ins with the Science, Language Arts, Music and Health curricula. I was very proud of how enthusiastic, cooperative and well behaved the students were during his time with us. Peter commented often on how lucky we are to have a school the size we have. He really enjoyed working with our manageable classroom sizes. (He related to me one of his experiences where he worked in a grade 2 classroom with 41 students—Yikes!) Hope to see you ali out at the Fall Fair. The grade 1 and 2 class worked frantically on their printing, stories and pictures. Come out and see all the hard work they did. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! -Submitted by Mrs. Phair.^SCHOLASTIC Book Fairs. © EDIZIONI PIEMME - ITALY Kindergarten participants Nash Nelson, John Bertschy, Josh Cranston and Zack Lewis. September 16th dawned bright and sunny for our Annual Terry Fox Run. 115 participants and 10 volunteers lined up at the beginning of the Bike Path for a photo op, some stretching and final instructions. Milo Embraces Terry’s Dream Once Again Participants ranged in age from 4 to 85 years of age, with some younger ones going along for the ride. With the stop watch poised, the whistle blew and we were off. Once again we had 2 water stations set up along the route, with Karen Miers and Lorraine Marshall attending them. Glasses were supplied by Milo Green Foods. Melanie McKay was patrolling the dam with a golf cart courtesy of Bill Deitz. Twyla Thompson and Colleen Deitz, with the help of Gary Middlestead’s golf cart were on hand for support for Lisa. Several Staff members were on route with the students. Ruth Winnipeg had the fun job of distributing ffeezies, courtesy of Deitz Farms, to participants upon their return. As Lisa came to the end of her Run, the entire participants were there to witness her victory and to cheer her on. Meanwhile back at the registration desk, Linda Booth was busy tallying the pledge forms. I had phoned the Provincial Office earlier to inform them that our Run pledge totals would be down this year due to our hugely successful Snake Valley Hoedown in June. (They had read about it in the Calgary Herald, so anticipated this as well). Just days before the Run was to take place, Colleen Bartsch approached Greg Deitz about registering Lisa Deitz on-line. She wanted to participate in the Run, but didn’t have the opportunity to gather pledges. Greg registered Lisa under Milo’s Run Site, drafted a letter about Lisa’s story, and proceeded to circulate it to his email contacts. Bythe day of the run Lisa had received $3,370.00 on-line, and with her other pledges, had a total of $6,000.00 herself. By the time the Run was over, Milo’s pledges amounted to $15,145.00. That total was astounding! We usually have about $7,800.00 come in the day of the Run, and by the time all pledges are collected, we end up with $11-$ 12,000.00. Last year we had a record of $15,019.00 in total, so you can imagine our excitement on that initial amount. In tracking Lisa’s on-line pledges, she is now up to $5,845.63 — an increase of $2,475.63. As of today (Sept. 29), Milo’s total is $18,220.00. One of the great things about pledging on-line is that your receipt is emailed to you the next day, you print it and it’s done. The other great thing is that money can be collected from outside your area very easily. You don’t have to rely strictly on your community. For anyone wanting to track Lisa’s donation total, check out the following website: http://www.terrvfoxrun.org/ENRunner/default.asp?s=l&RunnerID=10183 Len to rignt: i wyia i-itzpairiCK, s>ara rrennce, Lisa uenz, Colleen Bartsch, Jana Godkin and a photographer, grandma Harriet Deitz. For interests’ sake I have compiled the following information on all the Terry Fox Runs that Milo has participated in.

The whole philosophy of the Terry Fox Run is that as much money from each dollar raised as possible is directly spent on Cancer Research, with as little as possible being spent on Administration and Promotion. This is The Terry Fox Run in Milo’s route (10.1 km) follows the bike path to Lake McGregor, crosses on top of the dam, and extends into the provincial campground. The fast runners are always returning as some of us begin to cross the dam. Miriam Deitz, in spite of her “little legs” finished 20th in the Terry Fox Run. goes where it is needed most. It is now important for everyone to get their pledges in to me as very evident when you visit their office. The Office space itself is donated as well as furnishings. It is comforting to know that your donation soon as WAY TO GO LISA! you can. I will be taking them up to the Head Office in the near future. I am also looking for pictures that were taken at the Run this year. I would like everyone who took pictures that day to please contact me. Once again, I would like to express a huge thank you to Milo for your continued support of this very worthwhile cause. Joanne Monnertoll free - (866)599-2406 presents JBfcA Classic Country Christmas November 30, 2004MILO VICTORY LOANS If it is a truism that it takes money to make the mare go it is even more true that it takes money to wage and win wars. History may record that this money was required to make munitions or merely to prevent infla­tion, but the people of Milo and district were in the position of those who took part in the Charge of the Light Brigade— Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do or die and when the Canadian Government first appealed to the public to buy Victory Bonds we determined that the money must be raised somehow. The district had survived years of drouth and depression and despite the assurances of those who glibly told us that there was a lot of money some place in Canada, we still thought that is must be some other place. A committee was formed with E. S. Shore, who at that time was manager of the Milo Co-operative, as chairman, L. H. [vers, C. J. Northcott, and V. J. Ber­trand, as committee men and the versatile Evan Beech- man as publicity man. H. Allergoth was prevailed upon to act as salesman and G. Williams, the manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, filled in unofficially as salesman, advisor and general factotum. During the first Victory Loan the committee and citizens pledged themselves to remain unshaven until the quota was reached or to forfeit the sum of 25c for each and every time they weakened. Gentle reader, you should have seen the result! It may be that the chilling winds of the Atlantic or the balmy breezes of the Pacific are more conducive to luxurient facial adornment than are the Chinook winds of the Prairie, but whatever the reason the results were not comparable to the photos displayed by home-coming members of His Majesty s navy. Husbands were ostracized by loving, long-suffering wives and hasty explanations made to inspectors and commercial travellers. The forfeits were used to purchase cigarettes for the boys overseas and numerous letters of thanks and appreciation were re­ceived from them. A prize for the finest hirsute adorn­ment was won by W. B. (Slim) Marsden and we had a deep-rooted conviction that Slim regretted the closing of the campaign. Succeeding publicity stunts consisted of moving pictures loaned by the War Film Board, con­certs, oratorical presentations, and burning an effigy of Hitler. Last, but not least, was the display produced during the fourth Victory Loan Drive. Having reached the original objective of $10,000 it was decided to press for a further $5,000 and to publicize this the entire front of the old Economy store was painted by a local artist T. H. (Scotty) Wilson, to represent a mountain and each plateau of the mountain represented a higher level toward the goal. As you will see in the accompanying picture, a soldier with fixed bayonet was used as an indicator of progress and the entire scene flag-draped. The summit was reached in a few days and then figures changed and the ascent completed again. The cam­paigns have not been without their discouragements. The committee attended pep talks and rallys at Vulcan and Champion and came home filled with enthusiasms that dissolved quickly in the cold light of day, but L. H. I vers, who has been the chairman of the past three campaigns, and the indomitable Allergoth, held on with bulldog tenacity. This district can be justly proud of each increasingly successful Victory Loan Campaign. The first raised $8,000, the second $11,000, the third $13,000 and the fourth $20,000. Much credit is due to the entire district and especially to the committee and H. Allergoth who accepted a thankless task and handled it successfully.

For my grandchildren, I'd like better. I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would. I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated. I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car. And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen. It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies bom and your old dog put to sleep. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him. When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her. I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom. If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books. When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head. I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, bum your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole. I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma/Grandpa and go fishing with your Uncle. May you feel sorrow at a funeral and joy during the holidays. I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand. These things I wish for you — tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness.

Unlike the American tradition of remembering Pilgrims and settling in the New World, Canadians give thanks fora successful harvest. The harvest season falls earlier in Canada compared to the United States due to the simple fact that Canada is further north. The history of Thanksgiving in Canada goes back to an English explorer, Martin Frobisher, who had been trying to find a northern passage to the Orient. He did not succeed but he did establish a settlement in Northern America. In the year 1578, he held a formal ceremony, in what is now called Newfoundland, to give thanks for surviving the long journey. This is considered the first Canadian Thanksgiving. Other settlers arrived and continued these ceremonies. He was later knighted and had an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean in northern Canada named after him - Frobisher Bay. At the same time, French settlers, having crossed the ocean and arrived in Canada with explorer Samuel de Champlain, also held huge feasts of thanks. They even formed The Order of Good Cheer' and gladly shared their food with their Indian neighbors. During the American Revolution, Americans who remained loyal to England moved to Canada where they brought the customs and practices of the American Thanksgiving to Canada. There are many similarities between the two Thanksgivings such as the cornucopia and the pumpkin pie. Eventually in 1879, Parliament declared November 6th a day of Thanksgiving and a national holiday. Over the years many dates were used for Thanksgiving, the most popular was the 3rd Monday in October. After World War I, both Armistice Day and Thanksgiving were celebrated on the Monday of the week in which November 11th occurred. Ten years later, in 1931, the two days became separate holidays and Armistice Day was renamed Remembrance Day. Finally, on January 31st, 1957, Parliament proclaimed.
