(403) 204-2125NOV 1 8 2004 QUICK FACTS: ALBERTA’S ELECTRONICS RECYCLING PROGRAM Electronics Recycling Alberta, a division of the Alberta Recycling Management Authority • Rapid advances in technology, consumer demand for new products and a growing provincial population have accelerated the amount of electronic waste being sent to Alberta landfills. • Electronic products contain hazardous substances, such as lead and mercury, that can create environmental and health risks if not managed properly, and recoverable resources such as metals, glass and plastic that can be recycled into other products. • Management of this waste stream is a growing challenge for businesses, residents and communities. From households alone, more than 190,000 televisions and 90,000 desktop computers will be discarded in Alberta over the next year. • Since October 1, 2004, local collection depots, drop-off points and roundups have been established to collect oid electronics from communities across the province. • Currently, televisions, computer monitors, CPUs (including keyboards, cables. etc.), iaptops, notebook computers and printers are being accepted at many locations throughout the province. • The program will be funded by an environmental fee on the purchase of new computers and televisions from $5 - $45 depending on the product. • The fees will cover the costs of collection, transportation and recycling of electronic materials, education and awareness programs and electronics recycling related research. . / 2 . Collection of the environmental fee from sellers and manufacturers will begin in February 2005, once all of the retail and industry partners have had the chance to register for the program and update their systems to accommodate the fee collection. The majority of Albertans who participated in consultations indicated they would be willing to pay a reasonable environmental fee at the point of purchase, provided the funds collected were dedicated to recycling electronics materials. The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) is responsible for administering the program and reporting on its success. In addition, ARMA is responsible for overseeing the tire recycling program. This is the first program of its kind in Canada. Albertans can be proud that once again they are leading the way in protecting the environment.

The Village will not purchase the Municipalities Benchmark guide, or renew the Municipal World subscription or purchase A Pitch In Alberta membership. Communication Meeting: Administrator Deitz provided a summary of this meeting. A Countywide Fire Quality Management Plan is going to be proposed in 2005 and the Village of Milo will need to decide whether to participate in the plan then. The High Speed Wireless Internet is live in several areas of the county and will hopefully be live in Milo in mid January 2005. Kelly Malmberg with Vulcan County has completed the reporting required for the West Nile Virus Targeted Mosquito Control program and submitted it to the Government on behalf f the Village. The Village will be responsible for returning the unused portion of the Government Grant for this program.

GPS systems have been installed in the Village EMS Rescue Vehicle and Fire Engine as part of the countywide initiative to improve response time. Marquis Foundation: Mayor Vooys provided information from this meeting. The fees for the Peter Dawson Lodge will be going up. This is a result of pressure from the Government to get the fees in line with the remainder of the Province. Vulcan & District EMS: Councillor Phillips provided information from this meeting. On April 1, 2005, the Calgary Health Authority will be taking over the Ambulance Services in its jurisdiction. Our Countywide Ambulance Service has accumulated debt over the last 3 years, and the Vulcan County has been carrying the debt. It is possible that this accumulated debt will have to be paid out when the CHR takes over, and in this case, each municipality will be * required to pay their portion of the debt.

It makes me long to be a bear at this time of year. Sleeping when we have 16 hours of darkness each day doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Sometimes I wonder why humans try to do so much at a time of year when the rest of nature has completely slowed down and enjoys her dormancy until a more invigorating season. Since our last newsletter, my students have had three singing engagements, two Christmas Production performances, and one very busy last week of school. We were invited to sing at the Country Christmas Dinner held on November 30th. Special thanks go out to Bea Kuzma for giving each of the grade 1 and 2 students a thank-you Christmas package. She went to great time and trouble, I think, to make handcrafted brooches and felt "candy cane" mice for everyone. I also want to thank Laurie Umsheid for the beautiful angel she gave me. She adorned the top of our classroom tree this year. As many of you know, we had a beautiful evening for our hayride and twinkle tour on December 3rd. It was wonderful to see grandparents coming out to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and see the little ones sing. A sincere thank you to all who donated to the Srade 1 and 2 World Vision Project. Because of your generosity, we raised a total of $331,02. With just a "little" guidance from their teacher ©, the students agreed to spend the money in the following manner: -2 hens and a rooster____________$50.00 -4 rabbits_______________________$70.00 -stock a medical clinic____________$100.00 -ship $500.00 in school supplies____$50.00 -warm clothing for 50 children_____$60.00 (For those of you who receive the Milo Messenger from the school, the last item on our list was accidentally omitted, and there will be a correction noted in the first Messenger of the New Year.) The students and I are thrilled that we were able to make a meaningful impact on so many lives. Thank you all for helping us to do this. Hopefully, we can make this an annual event. My students helped me write a letter to Santa before I had them write their own, and I am happy to report that Santa is alive and well. In the letter that we wrote together, I asked Santa "please may I have one more angel to add to my collection." Well, Santa really came through. I have received 5 angels since writing that letter! (And Laurie had no idea that I collect angels.so that was very cool. My students thought so, too!) The last day of school was a very busy one. The entire school enjoyed pizza prepared by Wayne and Mindy at the Milo Cafe. It was scrumptious! Most classes enjoyed a movie in the afternoon, a gift exchange, and then more food. A sincere thank you to Mealane Deitz and Donna Bertschy for contributing food that day to the 1 and 2 room. Also I want to thank all of my students for the thoughtful gifts I received that day. Wishing you all much health, happiness and peace in 2005. Happy New Year!

Albertans are urged to check any energy efficient light bulbs in their homes and refrain from using Globe Mini-Spiral 13-watt bulbs due to potential fire and electric shock hazards. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), a not-for-profit organization that tests light bulbs and other products for safety in Canada and the United States, issued a warning that these light bulbs bear an unauthorized UL mark. They recommend people stop using the bulbs immediately, and return them to the place of purchase. The light bulbs were manufactured with non-UL-compliant parts that can fail and melt a hole in the enclosure, creating a fire hazard and exposing users to hazardous voltage. In Alberta, there have been two fire-related cases reported due to this problem. The bulbs are marked "Globe Mini-Spiral, 13 W, 120V, 60Hz, 225mA." Manufactured from January 2002 through April 2003, bulbs may have date codes BH012 through BH163 or BH0102 through BH1603. They also bear an unauthorized UL mark with the file number "E197131." More information about the UL warning is available at h_ttp;//www. ul.com/media/newsrel/nr1 Q2604.html.

A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later: “Da-aaad.” “What?” “I’m thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?” “No. You had your chance. Lights out.” Five minutes later: “Da-aaad.” “WHAT?” “I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water?” “I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to spank you!!” Five minutes later.“Daaaa- aaaad.” ‘When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?” ***** An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, “How do you expect to get into Heaven?” The boy thought is over and said, “Well, I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, “For Heaven’s sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!” One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear,” she said. “I have to sleep in Daddy’s room.” A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice, “The big sissy.” It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children’s sermon. Ail the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, ‘That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?” The girl replied, directly into the pastor’s clip-on microphone, “Yes, and my Mom says it’s a *(&*# to iron.” When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year-old came into the room as I was preparing to get into the shower. She said, “Mommy, you are getting fat!” I replied, “Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy.” “I know,” she replied, “but what’ growing in your butt?” One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer. She read, “. and Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, “The sky is falling!”. The teacher then asked the class, “And what do you thing that farmer said?” One little girl raised her hand and said, “I think he said: “Holy *#%#*!

At the stroke of midnight this January 1st, Albertans will start a year-long provincial centennial celebration. Every month will see the centennial theme reflected in community activities and events that celebrate our past and help us imagine our future. Capital projects throughout the year will create a lasting legacy. "The year 2005 belongs to Alberta and Albertans," said Gary Mar, Minister of Community Development. "Alberta today is the sum of every individual in every community over the past 100 years. In the same way, people and communities are the stars of Alberta's centennial celebrations, with government in a supporting role." Many communities are dressing their New Year's Eve events in a centennial theme. Some have events planned for New Year's Day, such as a centennial levee in Medicine Hat. January 1 also starts the Alberta Centennial Mountain Expedition. Between January 1 and September 30, hundreds of Albertans will climb 100 summits in the Alberta Rockies, or ski Alberta's western border, 1200 km from south to north. As the weather warms up, many communities will establish Alberta Centennial Heritage Gardens as part of the annual Communities in Bloom project. At Alberta Scene in Ottawa, 600 Alberta artists will showcase their talents from April 28 to May 10 at 19 venues in the nation's capital. A number of recreational and competitive sporting events are incorporating Alberta's centennial into their titles. Football fans will see a special centennial crest on the jerseys of Alberta's minor and professional football teams. Albertans are invited to nominate individuals for the Alberta Centennial Salute for Sports and Recreation; 100 Albertans will be selected for the honour. An official centennial website carries a list of centennial heritage, cultural, recreation and sporting events across the province. Visit www.albertacentennial.ca for the events calendar, historical notes, upcoming details of the Queen's visit in May and official birthday celebrations on September 1. Personal stories will be a special feature of the website. Albertans are invited to submit their own stories or those remembered from parents, grandparents or other Albertans. "Even at 100, Alberta is still young and much of our history is living memory. We must collect, cherish _ and share these stories so they are not lost to us," said Mar. Communities can download or request a free centennial planning guide from the website to help organize their centennial events. Centennial Ambassadors are working with Alberta's geographic andinterest-based communities to promote and organize other centennial events throughout the year. The on me e e ration Times newsletter keeps Albertans up-to-date on centennial event news. School and comrnumty bands and musicians can download sheet music for the new Official Song, Alberta. The Alberta Music Festival has created a special competition category using the song. We are not just celebrating history, we are making it,” added Mar. "Our centennial theme is Celebrate our past Imagine our future. We honour the hard work and vision of our early Albertans by building a egacy or education and facilities that will serve our communities for years to come." S--2T government has invested over $300 million in legacy capital projects. This inc. u es ^ ^ million for 103 community facilities like leisure centres and museums, and over $200 mi ion or provincial facilities for all Albertans, like the renovations of the Jubilee Auditoria in monton an Calgary, the new Provincial Archives, a renewed provincial museum and improvements to visitor centres at several provincial parks. Another long-teim centennial legacy, the Alberta Centennial Education Savings Plan, will see the erta government make a one-time contribution of $500 to any Alberta child bom in 2005 or later w ose amily has opened a Registered Education Savings Plan in the child's name. Subsequent $ 100 contributions will be made at age eight, 11 and 14 if the child attends an Alberta school. As a keepsake to children already in school, every Grade 12 student will receive a Centennial ommemorative Medallion before graduating at the end of the current school year. Every student in in ergarten to Grade 12 will receive the medallion in the fall. A medallion in gold also will be presented to Albertans 100 years of age or older. I encourage everyone to make a centennial New Year's resolution to organize, attend or experience at least one memorable event. I want every Albertan to remember what he or she did in 2005," said Mar. any t ousands of Albertans in every part of the province have been and are working hard to make our 100 birthday memorable. This opportunity will not come again." December 30, 2004 Klein expresses condolences to victims of Asian disaster; Alberta government to provide $5 million to relief efforts Calgary - The sympathies and prayers of all Albertans are today with the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Asian earthquake and tsunami disaster, Premier Ralph Klein said. A donation of $5 million will be made by the provincial government on behalf of the people of Alberta, in support of aid efforts for people affected by the recent disaster, Klein announced. The money wi e donated directly to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked for tsunami victim relief. "Like people everywhere, Albertans have been shocked and horrified by the magnitude of this tragedy, Klein said. "The stories of death and survival that we've all seen and heard have powerfully remin e us of the preciousness of life and of the bonds we share with people around the globe. Our thoughts an prayers are with those who are now suffering loss and displacement as a result of the disaster. "Albertans have been stepping forward to donate hands to help out, and I think it's very appropriate that as a province, we provide a donation as well. This is an international event of such magnitude at it demands an extraordinary response from all,” Klein said. "Our International and Intergovemmenta Relations Minister, Ed Stelmach, will monitor the situation and be in contact with the federal t government to determine if there are further steps that Alberta should take to assist affected regions. Klein also urged all Albertans to make personal donations as well, if they are able to do so. He and members of his staff have already made personal donations to the Red Cross. People looking for information on where to donate can check the Government of Alberta website at gov.ab.ca.Please Note: Milo Municipal Library New Hours Effective January 2005 Tuesday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Friday 10:00 am - 4:00 We are happy to be able to provide additional service.MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS FOR January, 2005 January 5- Milo Regular Supper Meeting January 8 - Fun Casino, Milo Januaryl2 - Milo Executive Meeting January 17 - Champion Interclub January 18 - Lomond Club Steak Fry January 19 - Milo Regular Supper Meeting January 26 - Milo Executive Meeting.

It was the strongest since the March 28, 1964, quake in Prince William Sound in Alaska. It is the fourth strongest since recordings of magnitude began in 1899, tying a 1952 quake in Kamchatka, Russia. The three stronger quakes: May 22, 1960, in Chile (9.5); the 1964 quake (9.2); and a March 9, 1957, quake on Andreanof Island, Alaska (9.1). All three of those quakes, along with the Kamchatka quake, created tsunamis. Tsunami information Tsunamis are formed by a displacement of water — a landslide, volcanic eruption, or, as in this case, slippage of the boundary between two of the earth's tectonic plates — slabs of rock 50 to 650 feet (15 to 200 km) thick that carry the Earth's continents and seas on an underground ocean of much hotter, semi-solid material. The December 26 tsunami was caused by slippage of about 600 miles (1,000 km) of the boundary between the India and Burma plates off the west coast of northern Sumatra. The convergence of other plates strains the area, and at the quake's epicenter, the India plate is moving to the northeast at 2 inches (5 cm) per year relative to the Burma plate. The aftershocks were distributed along the plate boundary from the epicenter to near Andaman Island. Tsunamis can travel up to 600 mph (965 k/ph, 521 knots) at the deepest point of the water, but slow as they near the shore, eventually hitting the shore at 30 to 40 mph (48 to 64 k/ph, 26 to 35 knots), according to Charles McCreevy, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The energy of the wave's speed is transferred to height and sheer force as it nears shore. The 7.3 magnitude aftershock might have been powerful enouqh to create further tsunamis, but did not. Historical information The Chilean quake and tsunamis were responsible for 5,700 deaths, and the Prince William Sound quake and tsunamis killed 125; the Andreanof Island and Kamchatka events killed no one. The deadliest earthquake recorded since 1900 occurred on July 27, 1976, in Tangshan, China, when the official death count reach 255,000 for a 7.5 magnitude quake. Estimated death counts, however, reached as high as 655,000. i he highest toll for an earthquake-tsunami combination since 1900 took place on December 28, 1908, when a 7.2 magnitude quake struck Messina, Italy, killing an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people. The deadliest earthquake ever recorded is believed to have occurred on January 23, 1556, in Shansi, China, killing 830,000 people. The worst tsunami in recent history followed the August 27, 1883, the eruption of the volcano Krakatau. The resulting wave swept over the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, ultimately killing 36,000 people. A tidal wave — caused not by water displacement on the sea floor but by the floods and high tides accompanying Cyclone Marian -- swept Bangladesh in 1991, killing nearly 140,000 people; Sources: U.S. Geological Survey; Pacific Tsunami Warning Center; University of Oregon SeismologySnake Valley Drop-In News Crib Games Join us for a fun evening of cribbage!

(403) 204-2125NOV 1 8 2004 QUICK FACTS: ALBERTA’S ELECTRONICS RECYCLING PROGRAM Electronics Recycling Alberta, a division of the Alberta Recycling Management Authority • Rapid advances in technology, consumer demand for new products and a growing provincial population have accelerated the amount of electronic waste being sent to Alberta landfills. • Electronic products contain hazardous substances, such as lead and mercury, that can create environmental and health risks if not managed properly, and recoverable resources such as metals, glass and plastic that can be recycled into other products. • Management of this waste stream is a growing challenge for businesses, residents and communities. From households alone, more than 190,000 televisions and 90,000 desktop computers will be discarded in Alberta over the next year. • Since October 1, 2004, local collection depots, drop-off points and roundups have been established to collect oid electronics from communities across the province. • Currently, televisions, computer monitors, CPUs (including keyboards, cables. etc.), iaptops, notebook computers and printers are being accepted at many locations throughout the province. • The program will be funded by an environmental fee on the purchase of new computers and televisions from $5 - $45 depending on the product. • The fees will cover the costs of collection, transportation and recycling of electronic materials, education and awareness programs and electronics recycling related research. . / 2 . Collection of the environmental fee from sellers and manufacturers will begin in February 2005, once all of the retail and industry partners have had the chance to register for the program and update their systems to accommodate the fee collection. The majority of Albertans who participated in consultations indicated they would be willing to pay a reasonable environmental fee at the point of purchase, provided the funds collected were dedicated to recycling electronics materials. The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) is responsible for administering the program and reporting on its success. In addition, ARMA is responsible for overseeing the tire recycling program. This is the first program of its kind in Canada. Albertans can be proud that once again they are leading the way in protecting the environment.

Communication Meeting: Administrator Deitz provided a summary of this meeting. A Countywide Fire Quality Management Plan is going to be proposed in 2005 and the Village of Milo will need to decide whether to participate in the plan then. The High Speed Wireless Internet is live in several areas of the county and will hopefully be live in Milo in mid January 2005. Kelly Malmberg with Vulcan County has completed the reporting required for the West Nile Virus Targeted Mosquito Control program and submitted it to the Government on behalf f the Village.

GPS systems have been installed in the Village EMS Rescue Vehicle and Fire Engine as part of the countywide initiative to improve response time. Marquis Foundation: Mayor Vooys provided information from this meeting. The fees for the Peter Dawson Lodge will be going up. This is a result of pressure from the Government to get the fees in line with the remainder of the Province. Vulcan & District EMS: Councillor Phillips provided information from this meeting. On April 1, 2005, the Calgary Health Authority will be taking over the Ambulance Services in its jurisdiction. Our Countywide Ambulance Service has accumulated debt over the last 3 years, and the Vulcan County has been carrying the debt.

It makes me long to be a bear at this time of year. Sleeping when we have 16 hours of darkness each day doesn't seem like such a bad idea. Sometimes I wonder why humans try to do so much at a time of year when the rest of nature has completely slowed down and enjoys her dormancy until a more invigorating season. Since our last newsletter, my students have had three singing engagements, two Christmas Production performances, and one very busy last week of school. We were invited to sing at the Country Christmas Dinner held on November 30th. Special thanks go out to Bea Kuzma for giving each of the grade 1 and 2 students a thank-you Christmas package. She went to great time and trouble, I think, to make handcrafted brooches and felt "candy cane" mice for everyone. I also want to thank Laurie Umsheid for the beautiful angel she gave me. She adorned the top of our classroom tree this year. As many of you know, we had a beautiful evening for our hayride and twinkle tour on December 3rd. It was wonderful to see grandparents coming out to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and see the little ones sing. A sincere thank you to all who donated to the Srade 1 and 2 World Vision Project. Because of your generosity, we raised a total of $331,02. With just a "little" guidance from their teacher ©, the students agreed to spend the money in the following manner: -2 hens and a rooster____________$50.00 -4 rabbits_______________________$70.00 -stock a medical clinic____________$100.00 -ship $500.00 in school supplies____$50.00 -warm clothing for 50 children_____$60.00 (For those of you who receive the Milo Messenger from the school, the last item on our list was accidentally omitted, and there will be a correction noted in the first Messenger of the New Year.) The students and I are thrilled that we were able to make a meaningful impact on so many lives. Thank you all for helping us to do this. Hopefully, we can make this an annual event. My students helped me write a letter to Santa before I had them write their own, and I am happy to report that Santa is alive and well. In the letter that we wrote together, I asked Santa "please may I have one more angel to add to my collection." Well, Santa really came through. I have received 5 angels since writing that letter! (And Laurie had no idea that I collect angels.so that was very cool. My students thought so, too!) The last day of school was a very busy one. The entire school enjoyed pizza prepared by Wayne and Mindy at the Milo Cafe. It was scrumptious! Most classes enjoyed a movie in the afternoon, a gift exchange, and then more food. A sincere thank you to Mealane Deitz and Donna Bertschy for contributing food that day to the 1 and 2 room. Also I want to thank all of my students for the thoughtful gifts I received that day. Wishing you all much health, happiness and peace in 2005. Happy New Year!

Albertans are urged to check any energy efficient light bulbs in their homes and refrain from using Globe Mini-Spiral 13-watt bulbs due to potential fire and electric shock hazards. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), a not-for-profit organization that tests light bulbs and other products for safety in Canada and the United States, issued a warning that these light bulbs bear an unauthorized UL mark. They recommend people stop using the bulbs immediately, and return them to the place of purchase. The light bulbs were manufactured with non-UL-compliant parts that can fail and melt a hole in the enclosure, creating a fire hazard and exposing users to hazardous voltage. In Alberta, there have been two fire-related cases reported due to this problem. The bulbs are marked "Globe Mini-Spiral, 13 W, 120V, 60Hz, 225mA." Manufactured from January 2002 through April 2003, bulbs may have date codes BH012 through BH163 or BH0102 through BH1603. They also bear an unauthorized UL mark with the file number "E197131." More information about the UL warning is available at h_ttp;//www. ul.com/media/newsrel/nr1 Q2604.html.

A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later: “Da-aaad.” “What?” “I’m thirsty. Can you bring a drink of water?” “No. You had your chance. Lights out.” Five minutes later: “Da-aaad.” “WHAT?” “I’m THIRSTY. Can I have a drink of water?” “I told you NO! If you ask again, I’ll have to spank you!!” Five minutes later.“Daaaa- aaaad.” ‘When you come in to spank me, can you bring a drink of water?” ***** An exasperated mother, whose son was always getting into mischief, finally asked him, “How do you expect to get into Heaven?” The boy thought is over and said, “Well, I’ll run in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until St. Peter says, “For Heaven’s sake, Dylan, come in or stay out!” One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear,” she said. “I have to sleep in Daddy’s room.” A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice, “The big sissy.” It was that time, during the Sunday morning service, for the children’s sermon. Ail the children were invited to come forward. One little girl was wearing a particularly pretty dress and, as she sat down, the pastor leaned over and said, ‘That is a very pretty dress. Is it your Easter dress?” The girl replied, directly into the pastor’s clip-on microphone, “Yes, and my Mom says it’s a *(&*# to iron.” When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year-old came into the room as I was preparing to get into the shower. She said, “Mommy, you are getting fat!” I replied, “Yes, honey, remember Mommy has a baby growing in her tummy.” “I know,” she replied, “but what’ growing in your butt?” One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of Chicken Little to her class. She came to the part where Chicken Little warns the farmer. She read, “. and Chicken Little went up to the farmer and said, “The sky is falling!”. The teacher then asked the class, “And what do you thing that farmer said?” One little girl raised her hand and said, “I think he said: “Holy *#%#*! A talking chicken!” The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.r o ps \ / <'< COMPANY BAJZJtlSTERS and .SOUC/TO/IS SERVICING ALL YOUR LEGAL NEEDS Dr. Robert J.

At the stroke of midnight this January 1st, Albertans will start a year-long provincial centennial celebration. Every month will see the centennial theme reflected in community activities and events that celebrate our past and help us imagine our future. Capital projects throughout the year will create a lasting legacy. "The year 2005 belongs to Alberta and Albertans," said Gary Mar, Minister of Community Development. "Alberta today is the sum of every individual in every community over the past 100 years. In the same way, people and communities are the stars of Alberta's centennial celebrations, with government in a supporting role." Many communities are dressing their New Year's Eve events in a centennial theme. Some have events planned for New Year's Day, such as a centennial levee in Medicine Hat. January 1 also starts the Alberta Centennial Mountain Expedition. Between January 1 and September 30, hundreds of Albertans will climb 100 summits in the Alberta Rockies, or ski Alberta's western border, 1200 km from south to north. As the weather warms up, many communities will establish Alberta Centennial Heritage Gardens as part of the annual Communities in Bloom project. At Alberta Scene in Ottawa, 600 Alberta artists will showcase their talents from April 28 to May 10 at 19 venues in the nation's capital. A number of recreational and competitive sporting events are incorporating Alberta's centennial into their titles. Football fans will see a special centennial crest on the jerseys of Alberta's minor and professional football teams. Albertans are invited to nominate individuals for the Alberta Centennial Salute for Sports and Recreation; 100 Albertans will be selected for the honour. An official centennial website carries a list of centennial heritage, cultural, recreation and sporting events across the province. Visit www.albertacentennial.ca for the events calendar, historical notes, upcoming details of the Queen's visit in May and official birthday celebrations on September 1. Personal stories will be a special feature of the website. Albertans are invited to submit their own stories or those remembered from parents, grandparents or other Albertans. "Even at 100, Alberta is still young and much of our history is living memory. We must collect, cherish _ and share these stories so they are not lost to us," said Mar. Communities can download or request a free centennial planning guide from the website to help organize their centennial events. Centennial Ambassadors are working with Alberta's geographic andinterest-based communities to promote and organize other centennial events throughout the year. The on me e e ration Times newsletter keeps Albertans up-to-date on centennial event news. School and comrnumty bands and musicians can download sheet music for the new Official Song, Alberta. The Alberta Music Festival has created a special competition category using the song. We are not just celebrating history, we are making it,” added Mar. "Our centennial theme is Celebrate our past Imagine our future. We honour the hard work and vision of our early Albertans by building a egacy or education and facilities that will serve our communities for years to come." S--2T government has invested over $300 million in legacy capital projects. This inc. u es ^ ^ million for 103 community facilities like leisure centres and museums, and over $200 mi ion or provincial facilities for all Albertans, like the renovations of the Jubilee Auditoria in monton an Calgary, the new Provincial Archives, a renewed provincial museum and improvements to visitor centres at several provincial parks. Another long-teim centennial legacy, the Alberta Centennial Education Savings Plan, will see the erta government make a one-time contribution of $500 to any Alberta child bom in 2005 or later w ose amily has opened a Registered Education Savings Plan in the child's name. Subsequent $ 100 contributions will be made at age eight, 11 and 14 if the child attends an Alberta school. As a keepsake to children already in school, every Grade 12 student will receive a Centennial ommemorative Medallion before graduating at the end of the current school year. Every student in in ergarten to Grade 12 will receive the medallion in the fall. A medallion in gold also will be presented to Albertans 100 years of age or older. I encourage everyone to make a centennial New Year's resolution to organize, attend or experience at least one memorable event. I want every Albertan to remember what he or she did in 2005," said Mar. any t ousands of Albertans in every part of the province have been and are working hard to make our 100 birthday memorable. This opportunity will not come again." December 30, 2004 Klein expresses condolences to victims of Asian disaster; Alberta government to provide $5 million to relief efforts Calgary - The sympathies and prayers of all Albertans are today with the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Asian earthquake and tsunami disaster, Premier Ralph Klein said. A donation of $5 million will be made by the provincial government on behalf of the people of Alberta, in support of aid efforts for people affected by the recent disaster, Klein announced. The money wi e donated directly to the Canadian Red Cross, earmarked for tsunami victim relief. "Like people everywhere, Albertans have been shocked and horrified by the magnitude of this tragedy, Klein said. "The stories of death and survival that we've all seen and heard have powerfully remin e us of the preciousness of life and of the bonds we share with people around the globe. Our thoughts an prayers are with those who are now suffering loss and displacement as a result of the disaster. "Albertans have been stepping forward to donate hands to help out, and I think it's very appropriate that as a province, we provide a donation as well. This is an international event of such magnitude at it demands an extraordinary response from all,” Klein said. "Our International and Intergovemmenta Relations Minister, Ed Stelmach, will monitor the situation and be in contact with the federal t government to determine if there are further steps that Alberta should take to assist affected regions. Klein also urged all Albertans to make personal donations as well, if they are able to do so. He and members of his staff have already made personal donations to the Red Cross. People looking for information on where to donate can check the Government of Alberta website at gov.ab.ca.Please Note: Milo Municipal Library New Hours Effective January 2005 Tuesday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm Thursday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm Friday 10:00 am - 4:00 We are happy to be able to provide additional service.MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS FOR January, 2005 January 5- Milo Regular Supper Meeting January 8 - Fun Casino, Milo Januaryl2 - Milo Executive Meeting January 17 - Champion Interclub January 18 - Lomond Club Steak Fry January 19 - Milo Regular Supper Meeting January 26 - Milo Executive Meeting.

It was the strongest since the March 28, 1964, quake in Prince William Sound in Alaska. It is the fourth strongest since recordings of magnitude began in 1899, tying a 1952 quake in Kamchatka, Russia. The three stronger quakes: May 22, 1960, in Chile (9.5); the 1964 quake (9.2); and a March 9, 1957, quake on Andreanof Island, Alaska (9.1). All three of those quakes, along with the Kamchatka quake, created tsunamis. Tsunami information Tsunamis are formed by a displacement of water — a landslide, volcanic eruption, or, as in this case, slippage of the boundary between two of the earth's tectonic plates — slabs of rock 50 to 650 feet (15 to 200 km) thick that carry the Earth's continents and seas on an underground ocean of much hotter, semi-solid material. The December 26 tsunami was caused by slippage of about 600 miles (1,000 km) of the boundary between the India and Burma plates off the west coast of northern Sumatra. The convergence of other plates strains the area, and at the quake's epicenter, the India plate is moving to the northeast at 2 inches (5 cm) per year relative to the Burma plate. The aftershocks were distributed along the plate boundary from the epicenter to near Andaman Island. Tsunamis can travel up to 600 mph (965 k/ph, 521 knots) at the deepest point of the water, but slow as they near the shore, eventually hitting the shore at 30 to 40 mph (48 to 64 k/ph, 26 to 35 knots), according to Charles McCreevy, director of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center. The energy of the wave's speed is transferred to height and sheer force as it nears shore. The 7.3 magnitude aftershock might have been powerful enouqh to create further tsunamis, but did not. Historical information The Chilean quake and tsunamis were responsible for 5,700 deaths, and the Prince William Sound quake and tsunamis killed 125; the Andreanof Island and Kamchatka events killed no one. The deadliest earthquake recorded since 1900 occurred on July 27, 1976, in Tangshan, China, when the official death count reach 255,000 for a 7.5 magnitude quake. Estimated death counts, however, reached as high as 655,000. i he highest toll for an earthquake-tsunami combination since 1900 took place on December 28, 1908, when a 7.2 magnitude quake struck Messina, Italy, killing an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people. The deadliest earthquake ever recorded is believed to have occurred on January 23, 1556, in Shansi, China, killing 830,000 people. The worst tsunami in recent history followed the August 27, 1883, the eruption of the volcano Krakatau. The resulting wave swept over the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra, ultimately killing 36,000 people. A tidal wave — caused not by water displacement on the sea floor but by the floods and high tides accompanying Cyclone Marian -- swept Bangladesh in 1991, killing nearly 140,000 people; Sources: U.S. Geological Survey; Pacific Tsunami Warning Center; University of Oregon SeismologySnake Valley Drop-In News Crib Games Join us for a fun evening of cribbage!
