More than one hundred performers took part in the different songs and dances. Each was lit with different colored lights. The different costumes were enhanced by these lights. Between scenes, fountains served as curtains with the lights shining on them. In late summer, the idyll of long, pleasant days draws gently to an end- thoughts drift to more "earnest pursuits'.'" Holidays are behind us, the memories already storied, but the best times remain a season, forever young - for what we save and remember is fresh and new always. I am at once reminded of a trip we took to the Hawaiian Islands, to Oahu where the "Polynesian Centre of Culture " is located. This centre was established by the people of the Mormon church as a non-profit educational and cultural activity to introduce the people of the world to the arts, crafts and cultures of the people of Polynesia. The centre is staffed with Polynesians who have first hand, experienced the way of life in their homelands. An important benefit of the centre is to provide jobs and scholarships for Polynesian students attending the Brigham Young University Hawaii campus. In the villages at the centre, the buildings are really grass huts. Each hut has its own demonstration of crafts, games, music and the people of Hawaii. Canoe tours took us past these villages. An old Honolulu trolley car carried us through the quaint town of Laie. We watched young Hawaiian men climbing coconut trees. Right to the top! The Carver's Hut houses a wide variety of tools, weapons, tikis and drums, all made by a master wood carver.Every fifteen minutes musical instruments called "Derua" played songs and the "Lali" (drums) were heard.Tahitian and Tongan dancing was performed for us. In the evening the open air theatre presented ancient singing and dancing. There are waterways throughout the centre. Canoes passing on these canals are filled with dancers from each of the islands. The theatre itself is It was superb. They sang a farewell "Aloha" in our honor. A time to remember. - Claire Lahd HOLDINGS MILO LTD _JS WATER HAUUNO faA. tdadfi PH 599 3031On October 27th at the Milo Community Jail a good crowd turned out to see the :ostumes.

The day we got our 18 cattle liners hooked up and all were gone by 2:00p.m About 1Q00 head of mother cows and 200 head of yearlings were pastured in the Peace Country from the Milo area this summer all the cows are in good shape and the calves are pretty fair too. The Milo area cattlemen use 3 different pastures in the far North. Manning,White Mud, north of the River and Three Creeks to the east. Unfortunately a large pulp mill has built a road across the Three Creeks pasture causing fencing and dust problems. As usual agriculture activity's are secondary to industry. The cost of truking makes the cheap pasture rent more expensive than the local pasture cost, but the grass is very lush and except for this summer no lack of moisture. Most natural water supplies are fenced out of the pasture and the cattle drink from large dugouts that are filled by run off water. This is an environment agreement but made for many miles of extra fence and odd shaped pastures. Some years excess grass is either mowed or burnt off in the fall. If this is not done, spring growth is slow and generally less volume of new growth results. Grass 5 to 6 ft. tall is not uncommon in unused pasture. If the grass is let to grow this tall bear and wolves can sneak in an kill calves unobserved by the mother cow or the lease rider. It takes about 11 hours in a fast truck to make the 600 mile trip, although it generally takes us 13 with a stop for lunch. About 250 gallons of diesel are used per trip, depending on the age and speed of the truck . Its a long haul and theres no sense getting in a hurry. Its fairly interesting seenery as far as White Court but nothing but scrub timber for miles after that until Valleyview when the farming starts again. The farm steads vary from very beautiful to the old log cabin builtonto type. Steel bins and sheads to wood or grain piles on the ground. All in all Im glad I live in the dry south were I can see for miles. You can see the horizon in the Peace Country about 50 miles away as it is very flat but there are still a lot 6f trees too. contributed by Grant Lahd Hfads Barber Shop VuiCn/Vj Sen tors — Under /3 ---^7 , /3 iou£/l ---*8 \au STycys- /Bel lpvc/Rs MOaj — Ffci 9-'So - £-3c ArTSfiH/lTf SAT - Y-'*o Oc^oS^/z Saturdays SfiRSeF-STYL/sr -GqFO The kindergarten class had a busy October making various crafts and of course getting the classroom ready for hdlloween. To start the month the classtoured the Helen Schuller Nature Centre in Lethbridge on October 2nd. There they learnt about animals and nature, October 4th the kids walked to the Wheat- Pool elevaters in Milo where they studied all about grain and actually got to touch a real railway car.

Fresh out of the oven the kids ate their baking and then went horseback riding withKody Henry. A Halloween party is planned for October 30th. Thanks to ail who made October special for the kindergarten kids, I LAN ANDERS ADVISES Dear Lan Anders: Help! Help! I don't know what to do. I've tried everything. The big newspapers don't give my letters a look. So please, I need help. My husband, Jake, is changing, changing in every way. He comes home from work and immediately leaves again. See Jake works with Canadian Airlines, and he is surrounded by gorgeous blondes and every other kind there is. And just last week, Carrie, his secretary, -began calling me saying he won't be home because of terminal problems. And on the 28th I was visiting my mother in Medicine Hat, when my trip was cut short. And when I came home my husband's clothes were gone, and all of his furniture. HE'S GONE WITH THE BIMBO! HELP! How do I get Jake back,? Sincerely, Help! Dear Help! You didn't say how long you have been married, or if there are children from the marriage, in which case I would presume you will be in contact with your husband. If not, I would advise you to get in touch with him after a month or two, and carefully ask him if he is happy with the decision he has made in ending your marriage, ( many men are not, but pride gets in the way, and they can't admit it). Do not be aggressive, or give him the guilt trip, as he will feel trapped in a corner and retalliate. Tell him you would be willing to work to make the marriage what it should be, if he is willing to make the same commitment. In the meantime, I think you should prepare yourself incase he decides to stay with Bimbo and eventually end the marriage. If that should happen, you must try to look to the future and start working to heal yourself. There is help available in the city, such as singles therapy groups, which will help you become independent again, and also help you feel good about yourself once more. Allow both family and friends to help you through it, as there is no shame in hurting, it's part of the healing process. It will be hard, but there is "life after divorce", and it is usually a good one, as the stress of a difficult relationship has now gone. Dear Snooty Sally! Either accept your friend for who she is. or choose friends with higher standards. L. H. Phillips & Sons Ltd. B9X 39 Milo. Alberta T0L1L0 Tel.

The majority of the funding has been forthcoming from the family members of Ricky and Ho Wong who reside in Hong Kong. These monies which are loaned to the Co-op will be repaid thru our current rental agreement in approximately 7 years, with very minimal interest payable. The situation at this time is: 1. We have a long term rental agreement ■with Ricky and Ho Wong. 2. Increases in rent to Ricky should not be necessary. 3. The majority of the funds necessary for this project have been loaned to us, as we have mentioned, in return for improved, safer accomodation for Ricky and family. 4. The shareholders of the Milo Development Co-op will retain ownership of the Milo Cafe. Thanks to the personal support of Ricky Wong and several members of our community, an additional 35 shares have been sold. We hope at $200.00 per share, more of you, especially those that do not currently have a share, will lend support to the Milo Development Co-op and this project. Any support thru your donation of labor would be greatly appreciated.

K'r F k d rm rF AtASKAN TOUR On the morning of August 6,1990, Kate and Margaret Howell got on a bus tour to Alaska, which would last for eighteen days. There were 44 people on the tour, along with the tour manager and bus driver. Our tour group was made up of people from Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Australia. We left from the Carriage House Hotel at 800 am. Motoring first to Airdrie, then on to Red Deer and Edmonton where we picked up seven more passengers. Our stop for the night was at Grande Prarie, where we had an "Ice Breaker” reception, put on for us by the tour company-Universal Fun Finders, This was so we could get to know everyone that we would be traveling with. Each day we had a morning coffee break, lunch break and also a afternoon break. We were kept busy while we travelled, with games, word puzzles, etc. We would get up by 6.00a.m. to catch the bus, which was Moose Mountain Bus lines out of Regina, at 800 am. On day two we travelled on to Fort Nelson, B.C., where we stayed that night. During this day we stopped at Dawson Creek for pictures and saw the Mark "O" markers, which is the beginning of the 1500 mile Alaska Highway. We also some very beautiful country. On day three as we travelled the Alaskan Highway to Watson Lake, we passed two beautiful lakes-Summit Lake and Muncho Lake, and other very scenic country. Arriving in Watson Lake for the night. We saw the famous "Sign Forest" which has over 8000 signs on it. Some of our group left a sign from where they came from. On day four we headed for Whitehorse, Yukon, where we were still seeing some very picturesque scenery. When we arrived in Whitehorse we were taken to Miles Ccunyon, wl>o« om a suspension bridge, This was great with the rapids below and the high cliffs, While in Whitehorse we saw the famous "Frantic Follies”, which depicted the Gold Rush era at the turn of the century, with poetry, music humor and dancing. On day five, we were on to Dawson City. We passed the famous Lake Laberge, which was made famous by Robert W. Service in the peom ‘The Cremation of Sam McGee". We stopped at "Five Finger Rapids". We crossed the Bonanza Creek which was the location of the 1986 gold discovery and started the Gold Rush. Dawson City is situated where the Klondike and Yukon Rivers meet. The first night in Dawson we went to Diamond Tooth Gertier for a dancing show and to gamble if you wanted to. On day six, we were still in Dawson City, where we got to try our hand in panning for gold at Bonanza Creek and to go thriugh Dredge, which is another way to dig for gold and hear tales of the 1898 Gold Rush. We visited the homes of Robert Service, Jack London and Pierre Burton. On day seven it was on to Fairbanks, Alaska. While travelling on top of the World Highway before going through customs into Alaska, we stopped for some pictures. We saw the famous Trans-Alaska pipeline. We stopped at Delta Junction, which is where the Alaska Highway started being built during World War Two. On day eight, while in Fairbanks, we saw the University of AlaJksa Museum. We cruised down the China and Tanara Rivers on the Sternwheeler, Discovery 111, where we stopped and went through an Indian Village. Here Mary Shields gave us a dog sled demonstration using some of her dog team and also gave us a talk on dog sledding Mary Shields is a dog team racer during the winter months. We were on the river cruise for over three hours. We visited Santa Claus’ house at the top of the North Pole. That evening we went to a salmon bake and a show at a Theme Park called Alaslcaland. On day ten we were off to Denoli National Park where Mt McKinley, the highest mountain peak in North America is located, standing at over 20,320 ft. We were taken ky «|Kioiai jMur.lt tuu nglit down into 'tins heart of the park, where we saw Grizzly bears, Caribou, Red Fox, Ptarmagan and Dull sheep. We saw many glacial streams, river valleys and lots of tundra While here at Denali, we stayed in a very nice chalet. On day eleven, it was on to Anchorage where we got to do some shopping and to rest. On day twelve we travelled to the trainstation and caught a train to Whit ter and then by boat to Prince William Sound, where we saw twenty-six glaciers in one day. They were all magnificient. We saw whales, sea otters, seals, and lots of various kinds of birds. This was a most enjoyable and exciting day, even if it was cool and rainy. On day thirteen of the tour as we leave Anchorage, we all realized that we were heading home. This area is very sceneic and is called the Montanurka Valley. After arriving in Tok, Alaska, we saw another dog sled demonstration. On day fourteen we were on our way back into Canada and back to Whitehorse, where we stayed for another night. This was a very scenic drive as we travelled through the Kluane National Park and St. Elias Nfoun tains. On day fifteen we headed for Skagway and the Alaska State ferry. We headed for Fraser, B.C., where we caught the White Pass and Yukon Narrow Gauge Railway, which we travelled the Trail of ’98. We stopped for pictures at Emerald Lake and at the Carcross Desert, which is the smallest in the world. We also made a stop at Bennett Lake, which is situated at Carcross. Upon arriving at Skagway it was still raining but finally guit when we toured the town. We were on our own until about 7:30 p.m. This was home for the next two nights. While we were on the ferry we strolled the decks seeing dolphins, whales and various sea birds. We also stopped at different port picking up and dropping off people. We were on our own until we docked at Prince Rupert, B.C. On day sixteen, we were up at 4-:30 am so we could be ready to disembark the ferry at Prince Rupert,B.C. and to clear customs here. As we left Prince Rupert, we travelled the Yellowhead Highway along the Skeena River and through Smithers to Prince George, where we stayed the night. On day seventeen we left Prince George heading for Hinton which was our last leg of our tour. We stopped for pictures at Mt. Robson, Terry Fox Mt and Jasper National Park which are all situated along the Yellowhead Highway. As we arrived in Hinton for our last night we were given a farewell dinner, put on by the tour company. On day eighteen we left Hinton for Calgary, but first we stopped at the West Edmonton Mall for a few hours and lost two people there before heading on to Red Deer an Airdrie where dropped off a couple mor people. As we arrived back in Calgary an stopped at the Carriage House Hotel, we sai goodbye to our tour manager and bus drive as well as the other friends we had mad We we all tired but we all enjoyed a gret tour. The roads were really good except fc some places on the Alaska Highway. Tfc hotel rooms were excellent along with th food and travelling companions. It is a tour would recommend if you love histor beauty, in other words is a place you hai to see to believe. (contributed by Margaret Howell)MRS. HENRY’S AGRICULTURE CLASS GOES MILKING Thursday afternoon, September 27, Marlys Henry brought her two milk cows to the school grounds for Mrs. Marilyn Henry’s grade 5-9 agriculture class. Marlys gave the students a short talk on her milk cows and the way she feeds and cares for them. She also gave a short demonstration on milking. Now its your turn she said to the class. Everyone was reluctant but they finally took their turn milking. Good thing the cows were gentle because most of the students had never milked before. Marlvs and her milk cows Krista!

I slept all through Saskatchewan and woke up when the bus driver said we were stopping at Cluny for supper. I saw two well tanned cowboys getting out of their truck so I got off the bus and got my bag from the driver. Went in the cafe and the waitress said the hotel was a mile down the road. I walked down there and got a room in the Cluny Hotel. They don't seem to have many staying here tonight. After wasting up I went down to the bar and met a real nice Indian. He borrowed my last $20 but then he bought me a beer so that was nice. I was the only white person in there so I guess Wednesday is not a night when white people come to town. He said the ranching country was south about 15 miles. He would like to give me a ride out their in his new pickup but his credit card had a hole in it. Ive only got a $1:50 left so when I buy a stamp and a cup of coffeSl'm going to be broke but my Indian friend said it was roundup time in the ranches. He didn't know of anyone looking for work but the ranches are always short of help in the fall so I should have a job by noon. I'll write again when I get a job and tell . you all about it.

I challenge you to look for humor in your lives, and see what it brings!!Letters To The Can Opener While shopping in the MILO HARDWARE STORE on October the 6th there was a very rude remark made about a young teenage girl who was not all there. This was said because she ducked her head going out the door. She ducked her head because there were 3 men she didn't know standing around the inside door. If this is considered being not all there then someone had better redefine the words, "not all there". Luckily this teenager didn't hear this rude comment. This teenager and her family has feelings too just like any one else and the person who made this nasty little remark in PUBLIC was way out of line. A remark like this should never have been said in public in a business where people are coming and going. If you must talk about people do it in your own home and keep it there. This way innocent people will not have their feelings hurt. A public retraction of this remark would be greatly appreciated by the family — through the MILO CAN OPENER.
