Assumptions have been made and misinformation has been discussed so we will try to clarify it. For non-residents of the community to rent the facility, we require the rent plus a $500.00 damage deposit up front. The renter is given a brochure on what is expected of them when they do rent the Hall. The caretaker has a check list of the hall condition prior to the rental, and then after the event they inspect for damages etc. If there is physical damage to the building or the caretaker has to do any work that the renter did not do, funds are withheld from the damage deposit to compensate the Hall Committee for damages and the caretaker for their wages. With regards to the recent event being discussed within the community, the caretaker declined payment for the work they did out of the damage deposit, as they felt responsible for a misunderstanding between them and the renter as to the time cleanup was required. Therefore the damage deposit was returned. There have been many, many times that the Hall has been in a horrible mess prior to the renter cleaning it, or hiring the cleaning, resident or non resident included. Any misunderstanding, between the Hall Committee and a renter have always been resolved. For those who have any concerns with the Hall Committee, please be advised, that there will be a meeting on June 1, around 8:30 pm, after Lions regular meeting. We will be pleased to discuss your concerns or happy to have you volunteer on the Hall Committee as we are always looking for new members.

She gave each one a morsel and said. “Eat it and think about how you feel.” After they had finished, she asked. “Now. do you feci closer to God?" “No," piped up Little Johnny. “ but maybe with a little peanut butter I would.” ####^aaa###^aaaa####aaaa####aaaa#### 1 was watching me seven- year- old and his cousin riding their bikes up and down the street. Every time they came to a particular house, they would switch to the other side of the road. After watching them do this for a while I asked why they were doing it? “Because”, they replied."there's a sign in the window' that says that they don't want cyclists to ride past the house. Sue enough, the sign read. NO PEDDLERS. ####aaaa####aaaa####aaaa####aaaa###^ My daughter Evonne was bom with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home one beautiful spring day to tell us that she had competed in a number of races and other events at the schools’ field day. My mind raced as I tried to think of encouragement for her. but before I could get a word out, she said, “Daddy, I won two of the races!” I couldn’t believe it! Then she said,” I had an advantage" Oh, that must be the explanation, I thought Maybe gave her a head start But again, before I could say anything, she said,” I didn't get a head start. My advantage was I had to try harder!” • *4$ "SiTOPS Cool Summer Wraps 1/2 cup fresh finely chopped broccoli 1/2 cup fresh finely chopped cauliflower 3 large radishes, finely chopped 2 T. minced onion 6 flour tonillas (6n diameter) 8 oz. fat-free cream cheese Combine vegetables.

In fact when a "father's day" was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards! Mrs. John B. Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a "father's day" in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. William Smart, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd's mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. The first Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across American other people were beginning to celebrate a "father's day." In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father's Day. Finally in 1966 President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day. Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day. G.

Long after other presents are forgotten, the ones you made with love for your dad or the other important man in your life still may be in use. You can make a container or box for Father's Day that will be just the right size to hold spare change, car keys, or those important tickets to the ball game or concert. You Will Need: Foam board Mat board Newspapers Wax paper Masking tape White glue Fabric glue Wallpaper paste Acrylic paints Gesso Pencil Brushes Ruler Felt Scissors Rubber bands Utility knife Cotton swabs Dowel rod scraps Paste and paint pans How to: This box is made of foam board, a paper-covered foam material used in framing pictures. To start, divide a nine-inch square of the board into three-inch squares. It's important to keep the comers at right angles so that the edges of the box will join properly. If you have one available, a T-square or triangle will be helpful. Lay the square on a stack of newspapers or other protective material, and have an adult use a ruler and utility knife to remove the four comers. Next gently cut through just the top layer of paper and foam on the center square. Carefully bend the sides up on each side to make the box shape. Match the sides, and tape each side joint in several places. To make the lid, turn the container top down onto another piece of foam board, trace around the form, and cut out the shape. Cut three pieces of mat board smaller than the inside dimensions of the box, and glue them together. Use rubber bands to hold the pieces in place till they dry. Remove the bands and glue the pieces to the inside center of the lid. This built-up area will help keep the lid in place. Mix the wallpaper paste according to the manufacturer’s directions. Tear newspapers into squares or short strips, and working on wax paper, begin pasting the box starting at the seams. Cover all the comers and the seam around the bottom. Use the handle of an artist's paint brush to help push the paper into the indented areas. Now cover the bottom and the sides, extending the layer about 1/2" over the top and into the box. After the box is completed, papier mache the lid, including the bottom. While it's not necessary, you can make a knob by attaching a large bottle cap to the box top. Tape it to the lid, then cover and paste it to the form using small strips and the papier mache mixture. Apply an extra layer or so at the joint. When the box is dry, you're ready to paint the surface decoration. Apply one coat of gesso (primer) to the container. After this dries, paint the box a background color, and then apply dot designs with short dowel rods and cotton swabs. Another option is to use fabric paints in squeeze bottles to apply dots, squiggles, and other shapes. In our example, we drew designs on the box and lid with white glue. After the glue dried, we applied gesso and then painted the box and lid black. Finally, we dry brushed a light coating of silver over the surface, and we painted short dowels and glued them in place to make the knob for the lid. You'll need two pieces of felt for the box lining, one for the bottom and another to go around the inside. Measure the bottom, the distance around, and the height of the inside to determine how much felt to cut. Subtract about 1/4" from the height to allow the lid to fit properly. Use fabric glue to fasten the material into the box. When you're finished, sign your name and the year on the back or the bottom.Frank Mclnenly Auctions Ltd.

Long believed to be extinct, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker has been rediscovered in the Big Woods of eastern Arkansas. More than 60 years after the last confirmed sighting of the species in the United States, a research team announced that at least one male ivory-bill still survives in vast areas of bottomland swamp forest. The search team reported 15 sightings from February 2004 to February 2005.

The following are the new titles in this collection: BOOKS “Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say” by Judge Glenda Hachett “How to Get Your Child to Love Reading” “A Treasury in Adoption Miracles” by Karen Kingsbury Videos “The Happiest Toddler on the Block” We have also received a number of pamphlets on Parenting Resources.

NORM STOKES WEEDING Little People (from Les Miserables) They laugh at me these fellows just because I am small. They laugh at me because I’m not a hundred feet tall! I tell ‘e, there’s a lot to learn down here on the ground. The world is big but little people turn it around. A worm can roll a stone, a bee can sting a bear. A fly can fly around Versailles ‘cos flies don’t care. A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home. A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome! Goliath was a bruiser who was tall as the sky. But David threw a right and gave him one in the eye. I never read the Bible but I know that it’s true. It only goes to show what little people can do! So listen here Professor with your head in the cloud. It’s often kind of useful to get lost in a crowd. So keep your universities I don’t give a damn. For better or for worse it is the way that I am! Be careful as you go, ‘cos little people grow. And little people know when little people fight, We may look easy pickings but we got some bite! So never kick a dog because it’s just a pup. You better run for cover when the pup grows up! And we’ll fight like twenty armies and we won’t give up! A worm can roll a stone, a bee can sting a bear. A fly can fly around Versailles ‘cos flies don’t care. A sparrow in a hat can make a happy home. A flea can bite the bottom of the Pope in Rome!

Watch your mouth A priest visited the local coffee shop after mass, where he and some farmers got into a discussion about small temptations. He asked a farmed if he smoked, drank or cursed. “Well, @$*%&, Father, I guess I do all that every so often,” the farmer replied. “Now, brother Joe,” the priest replied, “You know, I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I definitely don’t cuss like that —“ “Sorry to interrupt there, Father, “ the farmer replied, “but you don’t farm.” More volunteers are needed for this monthly community paper to continue. The time commitment would be during the last week of every month. Generally one or two evenings depending on your availably Not experience necessary just a willingness to learn! For more information call: Carol Robertson at 599-3941 or Barb Godkin at 599-2213 Volunteers are the Heart of our Community f t * f t ft* n News from the Milo Vs and 2's Busy, busy, time of year! Soccer, baseball, swimming, some still in music lessons, gardening, lawn care, seeding, calving and branding I've decided to face the facts all of our seasons are busy! Just stepped off the bus! It's ~ 4:10 p.m. on May 26th, and the grades 1 to 9 have arrived back after spending their day enjoying the interpretative programs and guided tours at Head- Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump. The weather cooperated.(not too windy!) and the students cooperated .(well-behaved!), and all in all it was a wonderful outing. One of my grade 1 students who had visited this site once before with his family, enjoyed the day so much that he announced to me, “Mrs. Phair, I would like to live here." A sincere thank you to our bus drivers: Monnie, Arvid and Rod for getting us safely there and back again. After arriving home, many of our soccer players had to keep on truckin' to a game in Iron Springs—makes for a pretty long day for our little ones. This is the time of year when teachers really need (want) their students to be focused, but many are already looking out the window thinking of that brand new dirt bike just waiting for its owner to get off the school bus at the end of another day. Life is abundant in our little classroom. Our painted lady butterfly larvae have all wiggled their way out of their chrysalids, our "working worms" are busy in their little ecosystem, and soon (perhaps even tonight) I am going to assemble our ant farm. And I know just the source from where I am going to collect our little objects of study.not far from my back door! Hooey the Hamster has adjusted quickly to life in the one and two room, but on a sadder note, my grassy heads are not looking so grassy. Actually, I think if the students put mustaches on them all, they would look like little miniatures of Mr. Phair. One should never use old grass seed, I guess. The bulletin boards in our school are all looking fantastic! The students did excellent jobs of their stories. Many chose to write about the adventures of Hooey should she ever manage to escape the confines of our classroom. Please feel free to drop in anytime to check out the goings-on in our room. The students would be delighted to be your guides and I am conf idant that they could answer any questions you may have about what we are studying. My book readers are doing wonderful. To date 73 % have read their hundred books for the year and now are accumulating "minutes read". For every 100 minutes that they read they earn a dollar in funny money that they will be able to go shopping with at the end of the year. One of my girls in grade 1 has already read over 1300 minutes! We are currently learning about families and traditions of Mexico in Social Studies. If anyone in the community has any artifacts, pictures, or objects of interest related to that country, would you consider loaning it to us for an hour, a day or a week? Call me at the school or home (3825) if you would like to help enhance our unit. Thank you! I am really enjoying my two plants that I ordered from the students' last fundraiser, and I see a lot of rose bushes doing very well in the community. Come to the barbeque on the last day of school and perhaps you will win one of the beautiful pots we have adorning the front of our school presently. Hopefully, we will see you there!

FISHING IN LAKE McGREGOR While money isn’t everything, it does keep you in touch with your children. One of the largest artificial lakes in Canada is situated on Milo s front door step. Tire land around the north end of the lake has been set aside as a park and forms the chief recreation centre of the district. Fishermen come from all over Southern Alberta during the summer months to make large catches of Pike and to spend a pleasant day in one of Tommy Vicker's boats.- Picnic and swimming parties are especially numerous on holidays and Sundays. In the winter our resort becomes a Fisherman’s Heaven as all the farmers in the neighborhood of the lake as well as professional fishermen from distant parts cut holes in the ice and put down their nets for white- fish. The total catch a year ago was officially 68,000 pounds and this winter was about the same. Some of the local fishermen with whom you are acquainted are: Don McCord, Albert Stumpf, Bill Beckner, Riley Peterson, Butch Thomander, Art Peterson and the buyer was Jack Kole. One day while listening to the news we heard the startling announcement that the lake would be closed to the public as it was to be used by the Air Force for bombing practice. Imagine the feelings of our prom­inent fishermen! They immediately sent a petition to the government pointing out a need for the food supply which the lake would provide. Those in charge saw the point and the bombing practice was stopped on Dec. 15th. Did you fellows know that much of the whitefish caught in Lake McGregor is sent directly to New York? Toward the end of the winter the fishermen put on a big dance at the Milo Hall and served a lunch of Filleted whitefish and potato chips. The proceeds went into smokes for you boys in the Forces and altogether the Fishermen’s Ball turned out to be a great success.

No Concept too Big or Too Small!!Kids on marriage. How Does a Person Decide Who to Marry? ************************************* - "You flip a nickel, and heads means you stay with him and tails means you try the next one." Kally, age 9 - " You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming." Allan, age 10 - "No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you got to find out later who you're stuck with." Kirsten, age 10 Concerning the Proper Age to Get Married ************************************* -"Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then!" Cam, age 10 -"No age is good to get married at. You got to be a fool to get married!" Freddie, age 6 How Can a Stranger Tell if Two People are Married? ************************************* -"Married people usually look happy to talk to other people." Eddie, age 6 -"You might have to guess based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids." Derrick, age 8 What Do Most People Do on a Date? ************************************* -"Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough." Lynnette, age 8 -"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." Martin, age 10 When is It Okay to Kiss Someone? ************************************* -"When they're rich!" Pam, age 7 -"The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that." Curt, age 7 -"The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them. It's the right thing to do." Howard, age 8 The Great Debate: Is It Better to Be Single or Married? ************************************* -"It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need somebody to clean up after them!" Anita, age 9 -"Single is better . for the simple reason that I wouldn't want to change no diapers. Of course, if I did get married, I'd figure something out. I'd just phone my mother and have her come over for some coffee and diaper-changing." Kirsten, age 10 What Advice Do You Have for a Young Couple About to Be Married? ************************************* -"The first thing I'd say to them is: 'Listen up, youngins . I got something to say to you. Why in the heck do you wanna get married, anyway?"'Craig, age 9 How to Make a Marriage Work ************************************* -"Tell your wife that she looks pretty even if she looks like a truck." Ricky, age 7 How Would the World Be Different if People Didn’t Get Married? ************************************* - "There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?" Kelvin, age 8 - "You can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just the same as they do now!" Roberta, age 7CONDOLENCES THANK YOU Deepest sympathy goes out to Gene and Marilyn Henry and family and Bruce and Carol Henry and family on the passing of Bruce and Gene’s cousin, Edna Cowley.
