Fairbanks - Denturist OFFIQE HOURS Wednesday 9:00 a.m. -4:30 p.m. r Friday 9:00 a.m. • 12:30 p.m.Letter to the Editor This is in response to the letter written by Elva Gore in the Can Opener last month. There are a few inaccuracies in her letter that need to be corrected. Mrs. Gore stated “he tried to cancel a few of the activities such as the Christmas production, hot dog day, etc.”. That is not true. My only concern with the Christmas production was that we not get into the mindset that we need to try to “out do” the previous years’ production every year. As far as hotdog day there was one month (in 4 years) that we did not have anyone to run the program. Everyone serves their community in different ways. For the past 4 years I have served mine through the school. To me the school is and always will be the most important part of the community. To say “Ken will not return to Milo for any functions as he had no interest in the community when he lived here” is rather contumelious but Mrs. Gore is entitled to her opinion, even if she is wrong. I would like to thank Mrs. Gore for pointing out that “ most of the activities he listed (in the July Can Opener) have been a part of the Milo School for many years and the community has always been involved and supported these activities.” I wrote the list because according to some people “community” is increasingly absent in Milo Community School. Obviously, there are people who believe, as I do, that “community” is very much alive in Milo Community School. Ken Weich r The Difference Between Rich/Poor People? One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son. "So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered "I saw that we have one dog and they had four. "We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are." Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends! "Life is too short and friends are too few." )VILLAGE OF MILO MINUTES AUGUST 8 The regular meeting of the Village of Milo was called to order on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 at 7:15 p.m. Present were Mayor Ken Vooys, Councillor Robert Phillips, Councillor Steve Edwards and Municipal Administrator Ginger Deitz. The minutes of the regular meetings on June 19, 2006 and July 17, 2006 were read. Councillor Phillips MOVED that these minutes be adopted as presented. CARRIED. Administrator Deitz reviewed the Bank Reconciliation and the Record of Expenses and Disbursements for June and July 2006 and then the outstanding Accounts Receivables with the Council. Mayor Vooys MOVED that the Financial Report be accepted as presented. CARRIED. Summary of CorrespondenceAdministrator Deitz reported that Alberta Environment has finalized approval for the Milo Waterworks System for the next 10 year period to August 1, 2016. Mayor Vooys and Administrator Deitz signed the conditional grant agreement for the West Nile Virus monitoring grant. Council tabled the review and discussion of the 2006 Municipal Sponsorship Program uses and application until the next meeting in September 2006. Administrator Deitz reported that two (2) property owners have appealed their 2006 Assessments, and that those complaints have now been passed on to Benchmark Assessments for Morgan Strate to follow up with inspections and owner interviews. Council reviewed Benchmark Assessments’ proposed Renewal Services Agreement. The new fees for the next 3 years represent a huge increase, which Council feels is unwarranted given the small and relatively unchanging property base in the Village. Administrator Deitz will research competitor prices for Council and contact Morgan Strate to see if there is room to negotiate their offer. Administrator Deitz presented some radio advertising possibilities to Council which could be used to promote the new lots and encourage younger families to move to Milo. Mayor Vooys MOVED that the Village purchase the $400.00 Golden West Radio Community Update sponsorship advertising with announcements run 3 times weekly for an entire year. CARRIED. Administrator Deitz reported that the 2004 & 2005 Telus Linear Assessment Appeals have been decided by the Municipal Government Board. The decision will mean that the Village will see the 2007 assessment value for Telus decrease by a slight amount. The Vulcan Business Development Society will be holding an organizational meeting to create a vision for a Farmer Owned Ethanol Plant in the County on Friday August 11, 2006. As this is the first day of the Homecoming Weekend, no one will be available to attend, but Councillor Edwards will keep the Council up to date on this project. Council reviewed a rezoning request from Vulcan County to change a farm land designation south east of the Village to recreational use. The Council had no objections to the rezoning of this property. Armand Chatelain joined the meeting at 8:10 pm. He reported that all the mowing for the Village was almost caught up and everything should be complete for the 75th Anniversary weekend. Council directed Mr. Chatelain and Mr. Smith to sweep the streets a final time before the 75th Anniversary. Council thanked Mr. Chatelain for all his help and effort in the transition to find a new Townsman. Mr. Chatelain retired to the gallery at 8:20 p.m. Administrator Deitz reported that the turbidity levels at the Water Treatment Plant are a little higher than normal, though still well with in the Alberta Environment requirements. The Operators are working with Alberta Environment and the Vulcan Supervisor to address this problem, as well as implement the additional testing and monitoring requirements from the new approval. Homecoming Preparations Administrator Deitz will pick up the parade float supplies in Calgary and the everyone will get together at Ian Thomson’s shop Thursday night to decorate the float. Councillor Phillips MOVED that Centre Street, 2nd Avenue North between Centre Street and 2nd Street North, 2nd Street North, 1st Avenue North between 2nd Street North and 1st Street North, 1stVILLAGE OF MILO MINUTES continued Street North between 1st Avenue North and Railway Avenue and Railway Avenue from 1st Street North to 1st Street South all be closed on Saturday August 12, 2006 between 11:30 and 1:30 p.m. to accommodate the parade. CARRIED. Councillor Phillips MOVED that Centre Street from Railway Avenue to 1st Avenue North also be closed intermittently from 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday August 12, 2006 and Sunday August 13, 2006 to accommodate the fire truck demonstration, the street dance and the fire works. CARRIED. Councillor Edwards MOVED that the Village purchase gum and candy to toss from the parade float and to purchase $100 in Glow in the Dark accessories to be handed out to the children who attend the fireworks display on Saturday night. CARRIED. Administrator Deitz has had a verbal enquiry into putting up fencing around the Milo East (O Perfect Peace) Cemetery. It is expected that this fall, cattle may be grazed on the farmland which surrounds the cemetery, and there is concern of the cattle entering and damaging the cemetery. The Lions Club, who are the caretakers for the cemetery, have plans to install a decorative fence around the cemetery which will provide only aesthic appeal and leave room for maintenance of the surrounding shrubs. Council agreed that the responsibility to provide containment fencing to keep the cattle from other private lands falls on the owner of the property surrounding the cemetery and as such, will not consider installing fencing at the Village’s expense. Administrator Deitz presented a written request from Gary Bertrand and Janice Bartsch to purchase the decommissioned sewage lagoon site located at NE 31-18-21-W4 to consolidate with the surrounding property that they own. Administrator Deitz has checked with Alberta Environment, Land Titles and the Oldman River Regional Services Commission regarding the environmental and title concerns of such a transaction, and there are no restrictions or objections. Councillor Edwards MOVED that the Village of Milo sell the decommissioned sewage lagoon site located at NE 31-18-21-W4 to Gary Bertrand and Janice Bartsch for the sum of $1000.00 and that the Village remove the easement registered on the former utility right of way which runs from the Village boundary to the decommissioned sewage lagoon site. CARRIED. Louis and Denise Myers have submitted a Development Permit to build a wooden fence on their property Lot 16, Block 2, Plan 2930DM. This development will be approximately 5’5” in height and meets all requirements of the Village’s Land Use By Law #322. Additionally, the Myers would like to renovate and extend their existing front deck to 8’ x 22’ on the west side of their residence. This development meets the requirements of the Village Land Use By Law #322. Councillor Edwards MOVED that the Village approved a Development Permit for Louis and Denise Myers to build a fence and deck as indicated on their application 2006-08-01. CARRIED. Three applications were received for the position of Village Townsman. Mayor Vooys MOVED that Council go in camera at 8:30 to discuss the applications. CARRIED. The public gallery left the meeting at 8:30 p.m. Councillor Phillips moved that the Council leave the in camera session at 8:50 p.m. CARRIED. Councillor Edwards MOVED that the Village of Milo hire Louis Myers for the position of Village Townsman effective September 1, 2006. CARRIED. Administrator Deitz will extend this offer to Mr. Myers and also ask Mr. Chatelain if he would be interested in further casual hours until September 1, 2006. The next Meeting of the Village of Milo was scheduled for September 18, 2006 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office.

Most of us have heard this simple recommendation so often over the past two decades that we can recite it in our sleep. Touted as a way to lose weight and prevent cancer and heart disease, it's no wonder much of the nation - and food producers - hopped on board. Unfortunately, this simple message is now largely out of date. Detailed research - much of it done at Harvard - shows that the total amount of fat in the diet, whether high or low, isn't really linked with disease. What really matters is the type of fat in the diet. New results from the large and long Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial showed that eating a low-fat diet for 8 years did not prevent heart disease, breast cancer, or colon cancer, and didn't do much for weight loss, either. What is becoming clearer and clearer is that bad fats, meaning saturated and trans fats, increase the risk for certain diseases while good fats, meaning monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, lower the risk. The key is to substitute good fats for bad fats. And cholesterol in food? Although it is still important to limit the amount of cholesterol you eat, especially if you have diabetes, dietary cholesterol isn't nearly the villain it's been portrayed to be. Cholesterol in the bloodstream is what's most important. High blood cholesterol levels greatly increase the risk for heart disease. But the average person makes about 75% of blood cholesterol in his or her liver, while only about 25% is absorbed from food. The biggest influence on blood cholesterol level is the mix of fats in the diet.

The liver makes it and links it to carrier proteins called lipoproteins that let it dissolve in blood and be transported to all parts of the body. Why? Cholesterol plays essential roles in the formation of cell membranes, some hormones, and vitamin D. Too much cholesterol in the blood, though, can lead to problems. In the 1960s and 70s, scientists established a link between high blood cholesterol levels and heart disease. Deposits of cholesterol can build up inside arteries. These deposits, called plaque, can narrow an artery enough to slow or block blood flow. This narrowing process, called atherosclerosis, commonly occurs in arteries that nourish the heart (the coronary arteries). When one or more sections of heart muscle fail to get enough blood, and thus the oxygen and nutrients they need, the result may be the chest pain known as angina. In addition, plaque can rupture, causing blood clots that may lead to heart attack, stroke, or sudden death. Fortunately, the buildup of cholesterol can be slowed, stopped, and even reversed. Cholesterol-carrying lipoproteins play central roles in the development of atherosclerotic plaque and cardiovascular disease. The two main types of lipoproteins basically work in opposite directions. Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) carry cholesterol from the liver to the rest of the body. When there is too much LDL cholesterol in the blood, it can be deposited on the walls of the coronary arteries. Because of this, LDL cholesterol is often referred to as the "bad" cholesterol. High-density lipoproteins (HDL) carry cholesterol from the blood back to the liver, which processes the cholesterol for elimination from the body. HDL makes it less likely that excess cholesterol in the blood will be deposited in the coronary arteries, which is why HDL cholesterol is often referred to as the "good" cholesterol. In general, the higher your LDL and the lower your HDL, the greater your risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease. For adults age 20 years or over, the latest guidelines from the National Cholesterol Education Program recommend the following optimal levels: • Total cholesterol less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) • HDL cholesterol levels greater than 40 mg/dl • LDL cholesterol levels less than 100 mg/dl • Dietary Fat, Dietary Cholesterol, and Blood Cholesterol Levels One of the most important determinants of blood cholesterol level is fat in the diet - not total fat, as mentioned already, but specific types of fat. Some types of fat are clearly good for cholesterol levels and others are clearly bad for them. Cholesterol in food While it is well known that high blood cholesterol levels are associated with an increased risk for heart disease, scientific studies have shown that there is only a weak relationship between the amount of cholesterol a person consumes and their blood cholesterol levels or risk for heart disease. For some people with high cholesterol, reducing the amount of cholesterol in the diet has a small but helpful impact on blood cholesterol levels. For others, the amount of cholesterol eaten has little impact on the amount of cholesterol circulating in the blood. In a study of over 80,000 female nurses, Harvard researchers actually found that increasing cholesterol intake by 200 mg for every 1000 calories in the diet (about an egg a day) did not appreciably increase the risk for heart disease.Eggs Long vilified by well-meaning doctors and scientists for their high cholesterol content, eggs are now making a bit of a comeback. Recent research by Harvard investigators has shown that moderate egg consumption—up to one a day—does not increase heart disease risk in healthy individuals. While it's true that egg yolks have a lot of cholesterol— and, therefore may slightly affect blood cholesterol levels—eggs also contain nutrients that may help lower the risk for heart disease, including protein, vitamins B12 and D, riboflavin, and folate. So, when eaten in moderation, eggs can be part of a healthy diet. People with diabetes, though, should probably limit themselves to no more than two or three eggs a week, as the Nurses' Health Study found that for such individuals, an egg a day might increase the risk for heart disease. Similarly, people who have difficulty controlling their blood cholesterol may also want to be cautious about eating egg yolks and choose foods made with egg whites instead. Dietary Fats The Bad Fats Some fats are bad because they tend to worsen blood cholesterol levels. Saturated Fats Saturated fats are mainly animal fats. They are found in meat, seafood, whole-milk dairy products (cheese, milk, and ice cream), poultry skin, and egg yolks. Some plant foods are also high in saturated fats, including coconut and coconut oil, palm oil, and palm kernel oil. Saturated fats raise total blood cholesterol levels more than dietary cholesterol because they tend to boost both good HDL and bad LDL cholesterol. The net effect is negative, meaning it's important to limit saturated fats. Trans Fats Trans fatty acids are fats produced by heating liquid vegetable oils in the presence of hydrogen. This process is known as hydrogenation. The more hydrogenated an oil is, the harder it will be at room temperature. For example, a spreadable tub margarine is less hydrogenated and so has fewer trans fats than a stick margarine. Most of the trans fats in the American diet are found in commercially prepared baked goods, margarines, snack foods, and processed foods. Commercially prepared fried foods, like French fries and onion rings, also contain a good deal of trans fat. Trans fats are even worse for cholesterol levels than saturated fats because they raise bad LDL and lower good HDL. They also fire inflammation, an overactivity of the immune system that has been implicated in heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and other chronic conditions. While you should limit your intake of saturated fats, it is important to eliminate trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils from your diet. (Manufacturers must now list trans fats on the food label, right beneath saturated fats.)The Good Fats Some fats are good because they can improve blood cholesterol levels. Unsaturated Fats-Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated Unsaturated fats are found in products derived from plant sources, such as vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. There are two main categories: polyunsaturated fats (which are found in high concentrations in sunflower, corn, and soybean oils) and monounsaturated fats (which are found in high concentrations in canola, peanut, and olive oils). In studies in which polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats were eaten in place of carbohydrates, these good fats decreased LDL levels and increased HDL levels.

This belief has been bolstered by much of the nutrition advice given to people over the past decade, which has focused on lowering total fat intake while increasing carbohydrate intake. But it isn't completely true, and the advice has been misguided. For example, while Americans have gradually decreased the proportion of calories they get from fat over the last decade, rates of obesity have increased steeply. Over the short term, following a low-fat diet does lead to weight loss. But so does following a high- fat, low-carbohydrate diet. Actually, almost any diet that helps you take in fewer calories works over the short term. In other words, low-fat diets appear to offer no apparent advantages over diets with fat levels close to the national average. This was demonstrated in the Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial. Women in this trial who were assigned to a low-fat diet did not lose, or gain, any more weight than women eating a "usual" diet. Although more research is needed, a prudent recommendation for losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight is to be mindful of the amount of food you eat in relation to the amount of calories you bum in a day. Exercising regularly is especially beneficial. The Bottom Line: Recommendations for Fat Intake Although the different types of fat have a varied - and admittedly confusing - effect on health and disease, the basic message is simple: chuck out the bad fats and replace them with good fats. Try to limit saturated fats in your diet, and try to eliminate trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils (a report from the Institute of Medicine has concluded that there is no safe level of trans fats in the diet). Replace saturated and trans fats with polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. As of January 1, 2006, trans fat must be listed on food labels. More and more "trans-fat" free products are becoming available (there's even a trans fat-free Crisco on the market). Keep in mind, though, that according to the FDA, a product claiming to have zero trans fat can actually contain up to a half gram. (Canada set a different standard of zero as under 0.2 grams.) So you may still want to scan the ingredient list for "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil" and "vegetable shortening," and look for an alternative product without those words, especially if it's something you eat regularly. Tips for lowering trans fat intake: • Choose liquid vegetable oils, or choose a soft tub margarine that contains no trans fats. • Reduce intake of commercially prepared baked goods, snack foods, and processed foods, including fast foods. To be on the safe side, assume that all such products contain trans fats unless they are labeled otherwise. • When foods containing partially hydrogenated oils can't be avoided, choose products that list the hydrogenated oils near the end of the ingredient list. • • To avoid trans fats in restaurants, one strategy is to avoid deep-fried foods, since many restaurants continue to use partially hydrogenated oils in their fryers.

Yes, that is what I call it. I’m speaking of the former grove of various trees and shrubs growing beside the road, No. 842, near the Majorville turn off. There is only one left standing out in the wide open without even a tiny bit of brush to give a bird or animal a bit of cover. What carnage. I hope you who did this destruction several months ago are happy about it. I certainly am not. Several visitors in the area also asked what has become of the other trees. I do realize those responsible will likely never see this, another letter will be needed. When the road was built someone had the decency and foresight to leave the trees, and that is long time ago. So why after all of these years was it necessary for them to be removed? And don’t tell me it was to help road conditions in the winter. I have been on that road too during winter and the trees caused no problem. Also, don’t tell me it was to clean up the area; I feel sick every time I think of it or pass by and see the one lonely tree. If anyone knows the reason for this destruction I would like to hear. I’ll bet the critters that called the area home would like to know where their home is gone.

To understand the origins of how pumpkin carving began and what it really means we must first take a look at the holiday itself. How long has Halloween been around? Have there always been pumpkins carved? Here are some answers! For most of the general population it is known as Halloween and is a night for dressing up, telling ghost stories, having spooky parties, trick-or-treating and pumpkin carving. What most people don't know is that Halloween is actually based on an ancient Celtic holiday known as Samhain (pronounced "sow wan"), which means "summer's end". It was the end of the Celtic year, starting at sundown on October 31 st and going through to sundown November 1st. It was a night to honor loved ones that had passed on since the veil between their realm and ours is at it's thinnest on that night. Celebrated for centuries by the Celts of old, Witches and many other nature based religions, it is the most magical night of the year. It is the Witches' New Year, and the Last Harvest. Although the religious significance of it has passed for the general public, Halloween is a "magical" night for all! On this magical night, glowing jack-o-lantems, carved from turnips or gourds, were set on porches and in windows to welcome deceased loved ones, but also to act as protection against malevolent spirits. Burning lumps of coal were used inside as a source of light, later to be replaced by candles. When European settlers, particularly the Irish, arrived in American they found the native pumpkin to be larger, easier to carve and seemed the perfect choice for jack-o-lanterns. Halloween didn't really catch on big in this country until the late 1800's and has been celebrated in so many ways ever since! Pumpkins are indigenous to the western hemisphere and were completely unknown in Europe before the time of Columbus. In 1584, the French explorer Jacques Cartier reported from the St. Lawrence region that he had found "gros melons", which was translated into English as "ponpions," or pumpkins. In fact, pumpkins have been grown in America for over 5,000 years. Native Americans called pumpkins "isquotersquash." Did you know that pumpkins are not a vegetable - they are a fruit! Pumpkins, like gourds, and other varieties of squash are all members of the Cucurbitacae family , which also includes cucumbers, gherkins, and melons.G.

They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car became bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by themselves, they saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving some oxen before him. The farmer stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to pull the car out of the mud for $50. The husband accepted and minutes later the car was free. The farmer turned to the husband and said, "You know, you're the tenth car I've helped out of the mud today." The husband looks around at the fields incredulously and asks the farmer, "When do you have time to plough your land? At night?" "No," the young farmer replied seriously, "Night is when I put the water in the hole." Eat the watermelons A farmer in the country has a watermelon patch and upon inspection he discovers that some of the local kids have been helping themselves to a feast. The farmer thinks of ways to discourage this profit-eating situation. So he puts up a sign that reads: "WARNING! ONE OF THESE WATERMELONS CONTAINS CYANIDE!" He smiled smugly as he watched the kids run off the next night without eating any of his melons. The farmer returns to the watermelon patch a week later to discover that none of the watermelons have been eaten, but finds another sign that reads: "NOW THERE ARE TWO!" You May Be a Farmer If ? • Your dog rides in the truck more than your wife • You convince your wife that an overnight, out of province trip for equipment parts is a vacation • You've never thrown away a 5 gallon bucket • You have used baling twine to attach a license plate • You have used a chain saw to remodel your house • You have fibbed to a mechanic about how often you greased a peace of equipment • You have driven off the road while examining your neighbors crops • You have used a tractor front-end loader as scaffolding for roof repairs • You wave at every vehicle whether you know them or not. • You refer to farms by who owned them 50 or more years ago • You give directions to your farm by using area landmarks, not road numbers • You have animals living in buildings more expensive than your house • Over 50% of your clothing came from feed or seed dealers • The rusted out areas of your truck are sealed off with old T-shirts • Your family instantly becomes silent when the weather comes on the news • You can tell the difference between the smell of a skunk and the smell of a feed lot. • The meaning of true love is that you'll ride in the tractor with him. • You can tell it's a farmer working late in his field, know who it is, what they're doing, and not think it's a UFO. • And finally, if given $1,000,000 you would keep right on farming. You'd farm differently, but you'd keep farming because that is who and what you are.pack To TheBasiC£ Personal Pampering for the Whole Family SCALP TREATMENTS FACIALS MANICURES PEDICURES NATURAL BRONZE SPRAY TANNINQ Each procedure takes about 60 min % & Milo at Trends.1st Wednesday & Thursday of month Vulcan at Hair Hut. 3rd & 4th Wednesdays of month 2nd, 3rd & 4th Thursday of month Peter Dawson Lodge.2nd Friday of month Gift Certificates available For appointment call: Sheila Winch £99-2223 or 485-8070 General Dentist ry Patient Services 1 Televisions 1 Highest standard of sterilization for your protection Quality Dental Services 1 Comprehensive treatment planning exams 1 Gentle hygiene care ■ Cosmetic Bonding and Veneers ■ Crowns, Bridges, & Bleaching ■ Complete and Partial Dentures New Patients are Always Welcome 114, 3rd Avenue North, Vulcan ARROWWOOD CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION LIMITED P.O.
