The accounts approved for collection will be submitted if they are still outstanding after December 31, 2006. Mayor Vooys MOVED that the Financial Report be accepted as presented. CARRIED. Summary of Correspondence: Administrator Deitz reviewed the results of the Alberta Environment Inspection of the Water Treatment Plant with Council. There were a few minor operational corrections which need to be implemented and Administrator Deitz will work with the Treatment Plant Operators to create a 2007 Operations Program for the facility. Alberta Municipal Affairs has notified the Village that the Milo Library Building Project has still not obtained any gas, electrical, or plumbing permits for the new building project. Administrator Deitz has spoken with Mrs. Godkin and Mrs. Monner and this problem will be immediately rectified. Council reviewed an application by Arctos Land Corporation fora pipeline crossing of the Village owned Bike Path in NE 36-18-22-W4. Councillor Phillips MOVED that the Village of Milo give approval to Arctos Land Corporation to cross the Bike Path as noted in the application with the condition that the crossing must be under the Village Property with no disturbance of the asphalt surfacing or surrounding area. CARRIED. Council accepted Mrs. Beata Kuzma’s letter regarding the decision of the ARB as information. Council reviewed a notice of application for subdivision from Vulcan County for property located to the south of the Village and there were no objections or concerns raised. Summary of Committee Reports: Vulcan & District EMS: Councillor Phillips reported that the 2007 EMS Requisition will change to correctly represent the inclusion of the Ambulance Grant which each municipality will be receiving.

CARRIED. Administrator Deitz reported that Townsman Myers has hung the Village Street lights and completed a wooden storage rack for the donated Christmas Lights. These Christmas lights have been strung in Lions Park with the help of Robert & Darlene Phillips, Gerald & Ginger Deitz, Ken Vooys, Warren Heather, Dale Deitz and Melissa Rooke and the generous donation from the Milo Recreation Board for the man lift. Townsman Myers continues to sand Centre Street and the main intersections as required, and Administrator Deitz will ask the residents in the January Can Opener to advise of any side streets or intersections which need sanding attention. The Water Treatment Plant Operators and Supervisor Alf Daw have begun working on the 2007 Operations Program for the Treatment Plant. Chlorine contact time testing is now being done aspart of the regular daily schedule. Council discussed the amount of extra work that the Operators have put into the Treatment Plant over the last few months to repair problems and keep the turbidity down. Both Operators have kept track of their hours, and Council agreed to provide remuneration for the extra work. Councillor Phillips will look into pricing and availability for a windmill for the raw water storage reservoirs and report at the next meeting. Council reviewed the final proposal from Sim Flo Systems regarding the Water Treatment Plant upgrades.

D’s REPAIR FOR ALL YOUR MECHANICA L NEEDS & REPAIRS Cali: Gerald Deitz 599-2354 or 599-2464FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES NEWS When collisions happen, we rely on trained personnel from fire departments and EMS to lessen the impact of our emergencies. We trust that they are skilled and capable of getting us out of our predicament quickly and safely. A number of fire department personnel from around Vulcan County7 are now more prepared to assist in that potential scene as a result of taking the S1100 course; a vehicle extrication course, which was hosted by the Milo Fire Department. No one can predict when and where a collision will happen. Roads are busier than ever and so is each of our lives. We get distracted using cell phones, preoccupied with life, lost in a conversation or sleepy. No matter how you slice it, we are all at risk to be in a collision. Focusing on knowledge of extrication tools, operation of these tools and the necessity of teamwork on an emergency ground, students learned how to safely remove patients from a collision while ensuring the safety of their fellow firefighters and medics. The course ran two full weekends; Jan. 5, 6, and 7 as well as 12,13, and 14. Students were taught and guided by Dwayne Hill, Training Officer for the Milo Fire Department and Robert Phillips, Milo Fire Chief. The eight members of the class represented each fire department in the county as well as Vulcan and District EMS. This interdepartmental networking and team building is crucial as neighbouring departments are often called to support each other as they in turn support the communities of Vulcan County. Currently Vulcan County Rescue, manned by members of the Vulcan Fire Department, is the sole team responsible for extrication throughout the county. While Vulcan County Rescue is committed to attending every scene where extrication is required, the students in the class learned how to best support the rescue team in their endeavours.Knowing and understanding the how’s and why’s of what Vulcan Rescue is doing allows the other fire departments in the county the chance to anticipate needs and provide additional assistance or manpower as requested. All students took both a practical and written exam to complete the course. The exam, administered by Kevan Jess of the Alberta Fire Commissioners Office, was held on the course’s final day. Each class member passed the practical exam which consisted of two full extrication scenarios. The written exam results will not be available for approximately four weeks. (Article by extrication student Catherine Pooley) Milo and District Fire Department now has 16 volunteers trained in vehicle extrication. the gymnastics equipment can no longer be used due to insurance policies. We are considering selling this equipment. We will be keeping the mats as they can be used throughout the year. We acknowledge that different community organizations have donated money towards the purchase of it.

It is the traditional day on which people express their love for each other, sending Valentine’s cards and candy, often anonymously. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine’s Day. The JM 2 ® ty b., y .4 holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. '***• The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of “valentines”. Modem Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines. In the U.S., the marketing of Valentines Day has tagged it as a “Hallmark holiday”.Is Moving to Milo My new location is 208-1st Street North Offering: Manicures, Pedicures, Body and facial waxing, and Paraffin treatments.

After snow or storms, the Village will clear the accumulation of snow from our streets in as timely a manner as possible, but please remember that even with the drifts moved, the streets can get icy! The Village will continue to sand the Centre Street traffic intersections, Centre Street (east of 1st Avenue) and 1st Avenue (from the entrance to Centre Street) frequently during winter, however icy patches on the remaining streets will only be sanded as they become problematic to traffic or pedestrians, so please let us know if there are any spots we need to address! Thanks for your help and understanding! What’s in YOUR garbage? The Village would like to remind all our residents to be aware of what they are putting into their garbage bags for weekly pick up, and remember to RECYCLE what you can. Examples of recyclable items we are commonly seeing in the garbage are: Cardboard and Boxes. Beverage Containers and Cans. Food Tin Cans and Milk lugs. The Village Townsman is not allowed (nor would he have the time) tb sort the garbage he collects to remove the recyclables, so it is up to YOUTT These items belong in our recycling depot, not our waste transfer station! This year, we encourage everyone to take a little extra time to sort their garbage and visit the recycling depot regularly! All residents will be seeing a change on their Utility Billings for the December/January billing period! Sewer and Garbage charges will now be classed as "WASTE" charges, with a single fee. The total amount for the "WASTE" charge WILL NOT change from previous combined amount of $37.00 per period.V Frank Mcinenly Auctions Ltd.

Anything that you accidentally left the receipt from The Dollar Store in. Also destroy all receipts if the gift is from Napa, The Snap-On Tool Truck, or Ace Hardware. Remember the answer to the question of, “Where did you get this?” should always be, “The mall” 8. Singing Big Mouth Billy Bass. (Even the love song edition) 7. Monster Truck Rally Tickets.

If she says she loves football she means she likes watching over-sized steroid induced millionaire hunks running around in tight pants. 5. Anything too small. Your sweetheart is not the same size as the teen-age sales clerk. So quit saying, “Oh she’s about your size,” to every anorexic bee-bop salesperson that smiles at you. 4. Cooking a romantic dinner made with Spam or Vienna Sausage. Trust me when your huntin’ buddies say, “Hey man, you’re a pretty good cook!” They mean, “Hey man, it’s food and I didn’t have to fix it!” 3. The Best of The Three Stooges video series. The words, “Best of and “Three Stooges” are an oxymoron in female language. 2. Pots, pans, vacuum cleaner, or anything that involves manual labor. This is Valentine’s Day, not MAID’S DAY! 1. Nothing. Even if she says, “Oh don’t get me anything,” get her something. If you arrive home and realize you have forgotten to get her anything, tear your shirt and bang your head on the car several times.

This h.e.I.p. sheet will give you tips on which energy-efficient features to look for, and show you how to use the ENERGY STAR8 symbol and EnerGuide label when shopping for a new appliance. Plus you'll learn the electricity costs of the home appliances you already have and no-cost Power Smart tips you can use to save money. It's Power Smart to buy ENERGY STAR® Look for the ENERGY STAR symbol on the most energy-efficient refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and clothes washers. While EnerGuide tells you how much energy the appliance uses, ENERGY STAR tells you which are the most energy-efficient. EnerGuide and ENERGY STAR - a winning team The international ENERGY STAR symbol complements another important energy efficiency initiative: Canada's EnerGuide Program. EnerGuide allows you to compare the energy efficiency of the many different models of household appliances or heating and cooling products sold in Canada. Before a major household appliance can carry an EnerGuide label, the appliance must be tested for its energy performance. These tests establish how much energy the appliance consumes under average conditions and whether it meets minimum energy- efficiency standards set out by the Energy Efficiency Act. For some of these products, ENERGY STAR goes one step further and identifies specific models that meet or exceed premium levels of energy efficiency. The ENERGY STAR symbol may even appear on an EnerGuide label: CmwiS ENERGUIDE 200kwh iamm ,<(/•; SHf I £*y Us** arwijf, i *>*■«»**>* £' #r **m < i SE*«sd*rdf t | / * necs *•?-* mwnw *ssi sfe Owm **«** : . c: a:.v~ : BGtUjdf 0 PiUWER SMRRTHow to read the EnerGuide labe! Number The large number is an appliance's estimated annual energy consumption, which is measured in kilowatt hours (kWh) per year. The label on page 1 indicates that the appliance model number ABC 123 uses 200 kWh per year under typical home use conditions. Bar The shaded bar scale displays the energy-consumption range for appliance models of this type and size. The figure at the left end of the scale indicates the lowest energy-consumption rating; the figure on the right indicates the highest. Arrow An arrow just above the bar scale shows where the appliance ranks relative to similar models. ENERGY STAR® Symbol The ENERGY STAR symbol accompanies the EnerGuide label only on appliance models that achieve premium levels of energy efficiency, based on specific criteria endorsed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). Type The type indicates the size range of appliances in the same category. When comparing appliances, it's important to compare models of the same type. That way, you're comparing "apples" to "apples". Two "price tags" Although energy-efficient appliances sometimes cost more initially, the energy savings on your electricity bill can often make up for the high initial cost. One way to look at whether purchasing energy-efficient appliances makes sense for you is to think of the appliance as having two price tags. The first price tag is the price that you will pay to purchase the appliance. The second price tag is the cost to operate the appliance over its lifetime. When both are considered, what seemed like a good deal in the store may end up costing you a lot to operate. Consider the total cost An appliance's life-cycle cost is the most realistic measure of its true cost, because it takes into account the purchase price and the operating cost. Operating costs could easily equal the original cost of the appliance, so it is important to find an appliance that will cost the least to operate and still meet your needs. The green box below shows you simple calculations to estimate the actual long-term cost of an appliance. ENERGY STAR appliances Appliances that have the ENERGY STAR symbol offer many advantages.

They'll also give tips on how to prolong the appliance's life. Here are some additional no- cost Power Smart tips for you to use once you've purchased your appliance. • Use small appliances such as a microwave, slow cooker, electric kettle or toaster oven as an alternative when possible, • Use pots and pans with tight-fitting lids and match pots to the size of the cooking element. • Make sure that the bottoms of your pots and pans are smooth and flat. Food will cook faster and you'll use less energy when the pots make full contact with the cooking element. • Keep the drip pans under conventional burners clean. Don't line them with aluminum foil; this may reflect too much heat and damage the element. • Use the self-cleaning feature while the oven is still hot from baking. This uses less energy than if you start with a cold oven. • Keep pre-heating to a minimum and keep the oven door closed during use. • Look through the window instead. You lose 20 per cent of the heat each time you open the oven door. • Make sure your oven's door seals are dean and tight. They should hold a slip of paper snuggly. If paper slips out easily, replace the seals. Clothes washer and dryer • Clean the lint trap in the clothes dryer after each load. Reducing the air flow through the clothes increases drying time. • Use the moisture sensor setting if you have it, and avoid overdrying, which wastes energy, sets wrinkles and causes clothes to wear out more quickly. • Always do full loads. • Take clothes out of the dryer promptly and fold or hang them to prevent wrinkling and the need to iron. • A high-speed spin cycle in the washer will remove excess moisture from the clothes and reduce drying time in the clothes dryer. Cooktops and ovens • Air dry clothes whenever possible. It saves energy and gives clothes a fresh-air smell. • Studies show that clothes rinsed in cold water come out just as clean as those rinsed in warm, so go cold! You'll save money on your water-heating bill. To save more, wash in warm rather than hot water - you'll use 50 per cent less energy, and your clothes will come out better rinsed and less wrinkled. • Consider washing your laundry in cold water whenever possible. There are detergents now being formulated to dissolve better in cold water. Refrigerators and freezers • Set your fridge and freezer to the recommended temperatures: fridge to 4°C (39°F) and freezer to -18°C (0°F). You can put a thermometer in the fridge and freezer to check the temperature, and adjust settings as needed. • Defrost a manual-defrost freezer when the ice thickness reaches half a centimetre, or the width of a pencil. • Avoid using the microwave oven to defrost food. Instead, thaw it in the fridge. This is safer than leaving food out on the counter top and contributes to the fridge's cooling. • As always, the easiest way to conserve is to keep the door dosed. • Don't force your freezer to work harder than necessary. Don't place it near a heat source, such as a radiator, heating vent, washer, dryer, furnace, etc. • Check to make sure the lid or door is properly sealed. To do this, close the door on a piece of paper and then try to remove the paper. If it slides out or moves easily, adjust the door or replace the seal (try this test in a number of places). Dishwasher • Air-dry dishes in the dishwasher or use the economy setting. • Only run full loads. Small appliances • Empty or change the vacuum cleaner bag regularly. The vacuum has to work harder if the bag is too full. • Use cold water when running your garbage disposal. This saves hot water and solidifies grease, which is then ground up and washed down the drain.

Would love to see you!Canadian - Armed - Forces - Encouragement - DAY by a Canadian grade 8 student in Ontario J| C.A.F.E. Day was conceived by Auriele (pictured below), a grade 8 student. While reading a book about World War II - "Hanna’s Suitcase", where young Hanna, age 13, ended up being sent to a concentration camp and eventually a gas chamber, Auriele found her heart stirring. She thought that something needed to be done. How could she help make a difference in the lives of those involved in war? She thought of getting the younger generation together to appreciate and thank all those who regularly make tremendous sacrifices everyday. They put their lives at risk so that we may live safely in our land! A Campaign to Encourage our Canadian Armed Forces For the time it takes to sit and have a cup of coffee - we could write a thank you note to our men and women in the Canadian Armed Forces for the work they do and a job well done. This would also be another generation’s way of responding to the traditions set up by our Canadian forefathers who established before us such important days like November 11th, Remembrance Day. Our forefathers have declared their motto ‘Lest We Forget!’ It is time for our generation to rise up with a fresh voice of commitment, declaring ‘We Will Remember!’ I would like to propose that C.A.F.E. Day be implemented on the first day of spring to reinforce to our troops that better days are ahead. Spring is often seen as a time of new beginnings, fresh hope and better tomorrows. It would be a day of celebrating the sacrifice that the troops already are making and have made just by entering into the military to serve and protect this country.

As board members, we were very surprised to see the inquiry mentioned in the Village minutes of October. Please interpret this as the inquiry of an individual trying to be helpful. In December, Municipal Affairs sent a letter indicating our construction company had not yet obtained permits. Municipal Affairs only checked with Calgary offices regarding permits. They were obtained in Lethbridge. Thank you.
