There were several version when I checked into it on the internet, but I don't think that the version matters, it is the eerie accuracy of his predictions. Remember he was an American, and this is directed to the American public, but if the shoe fits. If I were the devil. If I were the Prince of Darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness. I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree - thee. So I would set about however necessary to take over the United States. I'd subvert the churches first, and I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: "Do as you please." To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince the children that man created God instead of the other way around. I'd confide that what's bad is good and what's good is bad. And the old, I would teach to pray after me, "Our Father, which art in Washington." Then, I'd get organized. I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so thatanything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves until each, in its turn, was consumed. And with the promise of higher ratings, I'd have the mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellect but neglect to discipline emotions. I'd tell teachers to let those students run wild. And before you knew it, you'd have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. Within a decade, I'd have prisons overflowing and judges promoting pornography. Soon, I would evict God from the courthouse and the schoolhouse and then from the houses of Congress. In his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I'd lure priest and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money. If I were the devil, I'd take from those who have and give it to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What'll you bet I couldn't get the whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I'd convince the young that marriage is old fashioned, that swinging is more fun and that what you see on television is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public and lure you into bed with diseases for which there are no cures. In other words, if I were the Devil, I'd just keep on doing what he is doing. I found more than one version of the article but you get the idea. We have allowed all the things that are wrong in our society to take place because we have not spoken up and said, "This is not right." And it is not right.

Milo Library Milo Library September 2016 [pitido librar? &rd)ibes The Milo Library & Archives are very fortunate to have great working partnerships with the Milo Lions Club and with the Milo & District Ag Society. It is only due to these partnerships that we were able to hire: - Adrienne Deitz as our summer student who did a great job with our Summer Reading Program. Each week more and more students showed up as her creativity blossomed. That same creativity is evident in all the displays she did this summer. - Celia Lahd as our Milo Lions Archivist Fellowship whose knowledge and understanding of the Archives and how they work has grown immensely. She was instrumental in taking on tasks before she was even asked to do them. This year she created an entire fonds herself from start to finish culminating with uploading it to the provincial database.

Then 1 use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those I areas, beginning with a touch as light as the weight of a nickel. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, and create feelings of warmth or • gentle pulsing in areas being worked by the therapist. Chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back, and the related discomfort and life stress | issues chronic pain causes, can be safely relieved. Think of this as a massage designed for your nervous system instead of i muscle tissue. Please ask questions about CST! 1 welcome the opportunity 1 to share the benefits of this therapy system with you.

I thought I’d gone deaf.” • The good years are when the kids are old enough to cut the grass but too young to drive the car. • The small but polite youngster stopped a policeman on the street corner. “Sir,” he asked, “have you seen a lady without a boy that looks like me?" • “How long have you been driving without a taillight; buddy?" demanded the policeman. The driver jumped out, ran to the back of his car, and gave a low moan. His distress was so great that the policeman was moved to ease up on him a bit. “Aw, come now," he said, “you don’t have to take it so hard. It isn’t that serious.” “It isn't?" cried the motorist. “What happened to my trailer?” • Woman on telephone: “I sent my little boy to your store for two pounds of plums, and I got only a pound and a half.

"I’m not going to hook my $100,000 tractor to your $30,000 car.” • A husband, celebrating his 35th wedding anniversary, came home and said to his wife, “I saw this lovely bracelet with diamonds and thought I would get it for our anniversary.” “I don’t want jewellery,” she sniffed. "Well," he continued, “how about a new Rolls Royce?” She snapped, “I don’t want a car.” “Well, what do you want?” he asked. “I want a divorce,” she said. The husband thought for a moment and said, “I wasn’t planning on spending that much.” Top Ten ways to tell your car sucks 10. .People behind you change lanes to keep your oil off their windsheild 9. .Tractor trailer drivers are afraid to pass you. 8. .0.ening your trunk includes finding a screwdriver. 7. .Your driveway looks like an oil slick and the EPA cites you for it. 6. .Your friends would rather walk or ride a bus to school or work than ride in it. 5. .The motor is so loud you cant hear a dump truck crash through a nitroglycerin factory. 4. .You have ever had to leave it running for fear it might not start back up. 3. .You have ever been chased down by a fire truck. 2. .You refer to your car as beast, junker, or hooptee. 1. .You have ever parked on the side of the road and someone stops and asks you if you are injured.

Teacher Message from Mrs. Kirk and Mr. Munton I am so excited to be part of the Milo Community School team again this year. This will be my third year in Milo teaching grades 1-2-3 and my 15th year with Paliiser Regional Schools. I am looking forward to working with everyone - parents, community members, and staff. I live on an acreage 15 minutes away from Milo with my husband, Mike and three children: Liam, Ceilidh, and Adrianna. Liam graduated this year, Ceilidh is going into grade 8, and Adrianna is going into grade 2. We added two puppies to our family this summer - Dakota and Laya. They are four month old German Shepherds and full of energy. Our family loves to camp, hike and fish together. This summer we did two camping trips in Kananskis Country and went on horseback trail rides by Cochrane and by Mount Kidd. We had an amazing time! Which of the 10 IB Profile Traits best represents you? Mrs. Kirk is caring, reflective, and open-minded. (I try to be balanced) © Mr. Munton is caring, an inquirer & a thinker. Mr. Tetrault is knowledgeable, open minded, a risk taker Ms. Prud'Homme is a principled, open-minded risk taker In school, our first Inquiry unit is called “Who we are”. The grade 1 class will focus on groups they belong to (family, clubs, sports) and their rights and responsibilities. The grades 2-3 classes will focus on a more globalized theme where they will learn about organizations and people who help others in different countries. They will learn about the quality of life of children in other countries with a focus on Peru, Ukraine, India, and Tunisia. If you or anyone you know visited these countries please let me know. We would love to have a guest speaker tell us about their trip and experiences. I am so incredibly excited to be a part of the Milo Community School team! I am also thrilled to be the grade 4, 5, 6 homeroom teacher this year! I know this year is going to be a fun learning adventure and I can’t wait to see what's in store for all of us! It will be wonderful to meet and get to know each and every one of you. Now I'll tel! you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Vulcan, Alberta and I am the oldest of four siblings. My dad, Ken farmed barley, wheat and canola crops as well as ranched Angus cattle. My mom, Eunice worked as a nurse at the Vulcan hospital for many years. I went to school at Hazel Cameron Elementary and graduated from County Central High School in 1996. Throughout my childhood I was heavily involved in sports - playing hockey, baseball and volleyball. I also was an active member in 4-H and helped my dad on the farm. Since leaving Vulcan I have received my Management degree from the University of Lethbridge and my Education degree from Ambrose University in Calgary. Currently I live in south Calgary with my wife of 16 years, Jennifer, and my daughters Melanie (14), Abigail (10) and Elizabeth (3). Jennifer teaches first grade at Trinity Christian School. My children love to dance and particularly enjoy ballet. As a family, we enjoy playing board games, going to movies and travelling. I look forward to partnering with you as parents and working with the grade 4, 5 and 6 class this year. While I have high expectations of students I also have them of myself. Together, I believe we can make this a year to remember! - Mr. Munton year is “REACH FOR THE STARS” Think about the ways you want to be involved at school this year, and the impact you’d like to make in your world: o o o o o o Leadership opportunities Intramurals Music/ Art Academics Athletics Mentorship of a younger student Buddy reading School enhancement projects Snacks and smoothies Hot lunches Volunteering Community/ classroom gardens Page 3 Greetings from Mr. Tetrault (grades 7-9 and administration) Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer! Let me introduce myself and my family and tell you a little of what to expect for the beginning of the year. My name is Gerry Tetrault and I will be the Milo Community School vice-principal and the Grade 7-9 classroom teacher. I have been a school administrator in Asia, and at two First Nations independent schools prior to arriving here. My last teaching assignment was teaching senior high school biology at Bangkok Christian College, in Thailand. As well, I am Metis, and continue to discover the roots of my heritage. I have three children who will be attending Milo Community School this year. My daughter Air will be in Grade 6, my son Phrim (pronounced Fim) is in Grade 4, and our youngest son Alex will be entering kindergarten. My wife Kob (pronounced "Gop") is from Thailand so my children are bilingual and bicultural. Our family enjoys playing sports, hiking, swimming and listening to and playing music. The kids really want to learn to skate this year! Any young instructors out there? I am looking forward to getting to know all of the students and families in Milo. We'll find out where students are at in the first few days and weeks of school and help them build on their skills and knowledge. Two main explorations we'll encounter early and throughout the year are identity, finding out and expressing who we are, and the meaning of courage, and how to recognize and practice it. In each subject the focus will be on reading increasingly longer and more difficult passages (you'll get good, don't worry!), and learning to edit to improve writing. Lessons will be set up for students to help each other learn (because it works really well), with the teacher guiding their cooperation. Science will focus on hands on activities and active enquiry. We will be making connections between the subject areas where ever we can. I believe we learn best when we are focused and having fun, so get ready to do that in 2016-2017. - Mr. Tetrault Ö O O o O O JfciMIl.O September 2016 • Milo School • www. miloschool.ca S rr.

VILLAGE OF MILO AIBERTA August 31,2016 Dear Residents & Ratepayers, The Village of Milo elected Louis Myers to the Village Council in the recent by-election. He was sworn in as a councilor at the August 30th special meeting. Louis has agreed to serve as the village’s representative to the Marquis Foundation, Oldman River Regional Services Commission, Canadian Badlands, the Doctor Retention Committee, as well as being the alternate to the Vulcan Business Development Society. Louis will also become the third member of the village’s Municipal Planning Commission, the committee that decides all discretionary uses for development permits. At the last council meeting, Deputy Mayor Schroeder mentioned that vandalism and theft seem to be rising in the district. He thought it would be prudent to make mention Qf it in the Can Opener, and it does seem that we hear more and more about this occurring. We should all remember that locking our house and vehicle doors can spare us the headache of damaged or stolen property. We should all pay attention and beware of suspicious activity. The Village of Milo would like to thank all volunteers and sponsors who came out to celebrate the 85th Anniversary. The event was well attended throughout the weekend and enjoyed by all. We would like to thank all of the individuals and organizations that took the time to enter a parade vehicle or float. It made for a very big parade! The Village of Milo would like to thank the Arrowwood Gospel Church for the cake that they baked, honouring Milo’s 85 years, and served at their worship service in Lions Park. A big thank you is owed to Katie Walker and Barb Godkin for their work organizing the event. I have included the ratepayer letter that was distributed to residents in Arrowwood to explain their 2016 municipal budget. A letter for ratepayers in Milo will be shared in next month’s Can Opener outlining municipal business for 2016. Tax Notices will be issued as soon as Milo’s council has a chance to review and approve the final operating and capital budget, which will be done shortly. Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative Officer Village of AIBERIA August 24, 2016 Dear Ratepayers, On the reverse side of this letter is a summary of the 2016 Operating and Capital Budget for the Village of Arrowwood. I apologize for the enclosed utility notice being later than usual. As a result, payment is not due until the end of September, which is also indicated on the billing statement. These statements were prepared in July but I delayed sending them because I wanted to save money on postage by including this letter. The writing of this letter kept getting delayed because It seemed that my attention was always drawn elsewhere. We should have just issued the notices as I could have sent this letter with the next round of statements. I apologize for any inconvenience and will remember this unnecessary delay going forward. The general municipal mill rate for this year is 11.6 which is a moderate increase from the 11.14 of last year. The village is coping with some increased costs as well as anticipating the implementation of a carbon tax by the provincial government in 2017. The village will have to operate for eight months of next year before it collects most of its property tax dollars, and the council wants to avoid any kind of rate shock next year. Once we get a better handle on how this new carbon tax is impacting our overall cost of operations, we will work to keep the 2017 budget as close to the bottom line as reasonably possible. Unlike the last two years, the village is not transferring any funds from its reserves to subsidize its operations. As you might recall, this transfer from reserves was used to cushion ratepayers from the cost of transitioning to a new administrative model where one individual was no longer overseeing administration, public works, as well as the operation of the water plant. In 2016, you will notice that the seniors requisition went down slightly but we are told that this is going back up in 2017. The village's waste requisition continues to increase year after year, and could go even higher should the Vulcan and District Waste Commission not be able to operate burn pits in a timely manner. The lack of burn pits means that more tonnage of waste is sent to landfill, increasing the cost of trucking and landfill fees. The cost of garbage is not recouped entirely from utility rates and remains partially subsidized from taxes. The Village of Arrowwood is continuing to make a contribution of $45,000.00 to its dedicated reserves. Saving toward capital upgrades and infrastructure replacement should be considered a necessary expense for any municipality. For purposes of long-term planning, a municipality has three ways of raising funds toward capital projects: 1.) rates levied directly on ratepayers: 2.) debt financing up to its debt limit (or higher, if approved by thq Minister of Municipal Affairs), 3.) provincial and federal grants. While a municipality cannot overly burden its ratepayers (people only have so much money), it must avoid burdening future generations with too much debt while not being overly optimistic about future funding from provincial and federal governments. The lack of ongoing capital planning for reserves can spell disaster for ratepayers. As a good analogy, most people have heard horror stories of condo/homeowner associations where annual budgets did not anticipate structural failures or necessary upgrades. This absence of planning leaves association members on the hook for significant costs and payment is often required immediately. Given present realities, infrastructure upgrades and replacements are becoming more and more expensive while government regulation is increasingly stringent. This is as true for the Village of Arrowwood as it is for much larger organizations burdened by a bigger and more costly workforce. Fortunately for the village, we saw significant increase in overall taxable assessment. The Arrowwood Co-op built a new hardware store, assessed much higher than the old store, and improvements to residential property continue to be seen. Given the size of Arrowwood, moderate growth in residential development can translate into tax savings across the board. Even two or three new developments can have a noticeable impact for everyone. This can be seen as one of the benefits of a small but progressive municipality, one of the reasons why new housing should be encouraged. If you would like to be included on a village notification email list, please submit your preferred email to the village office. We will use this email list to notify ratepayers of any open houses or public meetings, in addition to the usual notice boards, in hopes of increasing attendance numbers. Oftentimes a better turnout at such meetings results in more meaningful feedback to the village council and administration. Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative Officer P.O.

At long last I seem to be feeling better at the Lodge and still enjoy visitors. Thanks for your thoughts and visits. Jean Umscheid ■a Billy and I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone for the phone calls, visits, pre made dinners, baby gifts and taking the time to come to Paislee's baby shower. We know it's a busy time of year, and we just want everyone to know how much we appreciate it. Paislee is so lucky to belong to such a & it P Thank you Hello all! Well what can I say butthank you, thank you, thank you! What an amazing weekend celebration we had. It was wonderful to see so many friends and family come out to celebrate with us. Any expectations I had were absolutely surpassed by 50 many awesome additions by others. Some of my highlights were finally getting to meet Danny Watt (whom I've only know from the "wall of fame" in the hotel) and simply seeing so many ways that every community member stepped up to add something special in their own way. Whether it was painting houses and buildings, planting gardens and mowing lawns, watering the CIB floweTs, setting up classrooms, helping out during the weekend, or just coming back for a visit, I was so happy to see everyone step up and rise to the occasion like I knew you all would. It seems that every time I turned around, there was another treat in store for me. When I started discussing the idea of this celebration last fall with a few others, 1 had a huge wish list. To my great pleasure, many things I hadn't told anyone about actually happened! I think the highlight was seeing the drone capturing moments throughout our weekend! Great to see you back Gautreaus! I wish to extend a huge thank you to Barb Godkin, Mike Collins (and crew), Chris Gauthier (and crew) for afl of their hard work and insight to planning the weekend. Mike did such an exceptional job of promoting things that Milo was featured in Jerry Forbes' Sunday article in the Calgary Sun! A tremendous thank you goes out to Mike Morishita and his crew from Brooks for bringing us such an exciting event to help celebrate the history of sledding in our area. I do believe it was a thrill for everyone involved! I also wish to give thanks for a wonderful husband who supported me all the way through in so many ways and always fin |

There were several version when I checked into it on the internet, but I don't think that the version matters, it is the eerie accuracy of his predictions. Remember he was an American, and this is directed to the American public, but if the shoe fits. If I were the devil. If I were the Prince of Darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness. I'd have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest apple on the tree - thee. So I would set about however necessary to take over the United States. I'd subvert the churches first, and I would begin with a campaign of whispers. With the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve: "Do as you please." To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth. I would convince the children that man created God instead of the other way around. I'd confide that what's bad is good and what's good is bad. And the old, I would teach to pray after me, "Our Father, which art in Washington." Then, I'd get organized. I'd educate authors in how to make lurid literature exciting so thatanything else would appear dull and uninteresting. I'd peddle narcotics to whom I could. I'd sell alcohol to ladies and gentlemen of distinction. I'd tranquilize the rest with pills. If I were the devil, I'd soon have families at war with themselves, churches at war with themselves, and nations at war with themselves until each, in its turn, was consumed. And with the promise of higher ratings, I'd have the mesmerizing media fanning the flames. If I were the devil, I would encourage schools to refine young intellect but neglect to discipline emotions. I'd tell teachers to let those students run wild. And before you knew it, you'd have drug sniffing dogs and metal detectors at every schoolhouse door. Within a decade, I'd have prisons overflowing and judges promoting pornography. Soon, I would evict God from the courthouse and the schoolhouse and then from the houses of Congress. In his own churches, I would substitute psychology for religion and deify science. I'd lure priest and pastors into misusing boys and girls and church money. If I were the devil, I'd take from those who have and give it to those who wanted until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious. What'll you bet I couldn't get the whole states to promote gambling as the way to get rich? I'd convince the young that marriage is old fashioned, that swinging is more fun and that what you see on television is the way to be. And thus, I could undress you in public and lure you into bed with diseases for which there are no cures. In other words, if I were the Devil, I'd just keep on doing what he is doing. I found more than one version of the article but you get the idea. We have allowed all the things that are wrong in our society to take place because we have not spoken up and said, "This is not right." And it is not right.

Milo Library Milo Library September 2016 [pitido librar? &rd)ibes The Milo Library & Archives are very fortunate to have great working partnerships with the Milo Lions Club and with the Milo & District Ag Society. It is only due to these partnerships that we were able to hire: - Adrienne Deitz as our summer student who did a great job with our Summer Reading Program. Each week more and more students showed up as her creativity blossomed. That same creativity is evident in all the displays she did this summer. - Celia Lahd as our Milo Lions Archivist Fellowship whose knowledge and understanding of the Archives and how they work has grown immensely. She was instrumental in taking on tasks before she was even asked to do them. This year she created an entire fonds herself from start to finish culminating with uploading it to the provincial database.

Then 1 use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those I areas, beginning with a touch as light as the weight of a nickel. Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, and create feelings of warmth or • gentle pulsing in areas being worked by the therapist. Chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back, and the related discomfort and life stress | issues chronic pain causes, can be safely relieved. Think of this as a massage designed for your nervous system instead of i muscle tissue.

The driver jumped out, ran to the back of his car, and gave a low moan. His distress was so great that the policeman was moved to ease up on him a bit. “Aw, come now," he said, “you don’t have to take it so hard.

Teacher Message from Mrs. Kirk and Mr. Munton I am so excited to be part of the Milo Community School team again this year. This will be my third year in Milo teaching grades 1-2-3 and my 15th year with Paliiser Regional Schools. I am looking forward to working with everyone - parents, community members, and staff. I live on an acreage 15 minutes away from Milo with my husband, Mike and three children: Liam, Ceilidh, and Adrianna. Liam graduated this year, Ceilidh is going into grade 8, and Adrianna is going into grade 2. We added two puppies to our family this summer - Dakota and Laya. They are four month old German Shepherds and full of energy. Our family loves to camp, hike and fish together. This summer we did two camping trips in Kananskis Country and went on horseback trail rides by Cochrane and by Mount Kidd. We had an amazing time! Which of the 10 IB Profile Traits best represents you? Mrs. Kirk is caring, reflective, and open-minded. (I try to be balanced) © Mr. Munton is caring, an inquirer & a thinker. Mr. Tetrault is knowledgeable, open minded, a risk taker Ms. Prud'Homme is a principled, open-minded risk taker In school, our first Inquiry unit is called “Who we are”. The grade 1 class will focus on groups they belong to (family, clubs, sports) and their rights and responsibilities. The grades 2-3 classes will focus on a more globalized theme where they will learn about organizations and people who help others in different countries. They will learn about the quality of life of children in other countries with a focus on Peru, Ukraine, India, and Tunisia. If you or anyone you know visited these countries please let me know. We would love to have a guest speaker tell us about their trip and experiences. I am so incredibly excited to be a part of the Milo Community School team! I am also thrilled to be the grade 4, 5, 6 homeroom teacher this year! I know this year is going to be a fun learning adventure and I can’t wait to see what's in store for all of us! It will be wonderful to meet and get to know each and every one of you. Now I'll tel! you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Vulcan, Alberta and I am the oldest of four siblings. My dad, Ken farmed barley, wheat and canola crops as well as ranched Angus cattle. My mom, Eunice worked as a nurse at the Vulcan hospital for many years. I went to school at Hazel Cameron Elementary and graduated from County Central High School in 1996. Throughout my childhood I was heavily involved in sports - playing hockey, baseball and volleyball. I also was an active member in 4-H and helped my dad on the farm. Since leaving Vulcan I have received my Management degree from the University of Lethbridge and my Education degree from Ambrose University in Calgary. Currently I live in south Calgary with my wife of 16 years, Jennifer, and my daughters Melanie (14), Abigail (10) and Elizabeth (3). Jennifer teaches first grade at Trinity Christian School. My children love to dance and particularly enjoy ballet. As a family, we enjoy playing board games, going to movies and travelling. I look forward to partnering with you as parents and working with the grade 4, 5 and 6 class this year. While I have high expectations of students I also have them of myself. Together, I believe we can make this a year to remember! - Mr. Munton year is “REACH FOR THE STARS” Think about the ways you want to be involved at school this year, and the impact you’d like to make in your world: o o o o o o Leadership opportunities Intramurals Music/ Art Academics Athletics Mentorship of a younger student Buddy reading School enhancement projects Snacks and smoothies Hot lunches Volunteering Community/ classroom gardens Page 3 Greetings from Mr. Tetrault (grades 7-9 and administration) Hello Everyone, I hope everyone is having a great summer! Let me introduce myself and my family and tell you a little of what to expect for the beginning of the year. My name is Gerry Tetrault and I will be the Milo Community School vice-principal and the Grade 7-9 classroom teacher. I have been a school administrator in Asia, and at two First Nations independent schools prior to arriving here. My last teaching assignment was teaching senior high school biology at Bangkok Christian College, in Thailand. As well, I am Metis, and continue to discover the roots of my heritage. I have three children who will be attending Milo Community School this year. My daughter Air will be in Grade 6, my son Phrim (pronounced Fim) is in Grade 4, and our youngest son Alex will be entering kindergarten. My wife Kob (pronounced "Gop") is from Thailand so my children are bilingual and bicultural. Our family enjoys playing sports, hiking, swimming and listening to and playing music. The kids really want to learn to skate this year! Any young instructors out there? I am looking forward to getting to know all of the students and families in Milo. We'll find out where students are at in the first few days and weeks of school and help them build on their skills and knowledge. Two main explorations we'll encounter early and throughout the year are identity, finding out and expressing who we are, and the meaning of courage, and how to recognize and practice it. In each subject the focus will be on reading increasingly longer and more difficult passages (you'll get good, don't worry!), and learning to edit to improve writing. Lessons will be set up for students to help each other learn (because it works really well), with the teacher guiding their cooperation. Science will focus on hands on activities and active enquiry. We will be making connections between the subject areas where ever we can. I believe we learn best when we are focused and having fun, so get ready to do that in 2016-2017. - Mr. Tetrault Ö O O o O O JfciMIl.O September 2016 • Milo School • www. miloschool.ca S rr.

VILLAGE OF MILO AIBERTA August 31,2016 Dear Residents & Ratepayers, The Village of Milo elected Louis Myers to the Village Council in the recent by-election. He was sworn in as a councilor at the August 30th special meeting. Louis has agreed to serve as the village’s representative to the Marquis Foundation, Oldman River Regional Services Commission, Canadian Badlands, the Doctor Retention Committee, as well as being the alternate to the Vulcan Business Development Society. Louis will also become the third member of the village’s Municipal Planning Commission, the committee that decides all discretionary uses for development permits. At the last council meeting, Deputy Mayor Schroeder mentioned that vandalism and theft seem to be rising in the district. He thought it would be prudent to make mention Qf it in the Can Opener, and it does seem that we hear more and more about this occurring. We should all remember that locking our house and vehicle doors can spare us the headache of damaged or stolen property. We should all pay attention and beware of suspicious activity. The Village of Milo would like to thank all volunteers and sponsors who came out to celebrate the 85th Anniversary. The event was well attended throughout the weekend and enjoyed by all. We would like to thank all of the individuals and organizations that took the time to enter a parade vehicle or float. It made for a very big parade! The Village of Milo would like to thank the Arrowwood Gospel Church for the cake that they baked, honouring Milo’s 85 years, and served at their worship service in Lions Park. A big thank you is owed to Katie Walker and Barb Godkin for their work organizing the event. I have included the ratepayer letter that was distributed to residents in Arrowwood to explain their 2016 municipal budget. A letter for ratepayers in Milo will be shared in next month’s Can Opener outlining municipal business for 2016. Tax Notices will be issued as soon as Milo’s council has a chance to review and approve the final operating and capital budget, which will be done shortly. Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative Officer Village of AIBERIA August 24, 2016 Dear Ratepayers, On the reverse side of this letter is a summary of the 2016 Operating and Capital Budget for the Village of Arrowwood. I apologize for the enclosed utility notice being later than usual. As a result, payment is not due until the end of September, which is also indicated on the billing statement. These statements were prepared in July but I delayed sending them because I wanted to save money on postage by including this letter. The writing of this letter kept getting delayed because It seemed that my attention was always drawn elsewhere. We should have just issued the notices as I could have sent this letter with the next round of statements. I apologize for any inconvenience and will remember this unnecessary delay going forward. The general municipal mill rate for this year is 11.6 which is a moderate increase from the 11.14 of last year. The village is coping with some increased costs as well as anticipating the implementation of a carbon tax by the provincial government in 2017. The village will have to operate for eight months of next year before it collects most of its property tax dollars, and the council wants to avoid any kind of rate shock next year. Once we get a better handle on how this new carbon tax is impacting our overall cost of operations, we will work to keep the 2017 budget as close to the bottom line as reasonably possible. Unlike the last two years, the village is not transferring any funds from its reserves to subsidize its operations. As you might recall, this transfer from reserves was used to cushion ratepayers from the cost of transitioning to a new administrative model where one individual was no longer overseeing administration, public works, as well as the operation of the water plant. In 2016, you will notice that the seniors requisition went down slightly but we are told that this is going back up in 2017. The village's waste requisition continues to increase year after year, and could go even higher should the Vulcan and District Waste Commission not be able to operate burn pits in a timely manner. The lack of burn pits means that more tonnage of waste is sent to landfill, increasing the cost of trucking and landfill fees. The cost of garbage is not recouped entirely from utility rates and remains partially subsidized from taxes. The Village of Arrowwood is continuing to make a contribution of $45,000.00 to its dedicated reserves. Saving toward capital upgrades and infrastructure replacement should be considered a necessary expense for any municipality. For purposes of long-term planning, a municipality has three ways of raising funds toward capital projects: 1.) rates levied directly on ratepayers: 2.) debt financing up to its debt limit (or higher, if approved by thq Minister of Municipal Affairs), 3.) provincial and federal grants. While a municipality cannot overly burden its ratepayers (people only have so much money), it must avoid burdening future generations with too much debt while not being overly optimistic about future funding from provincial and federal governments. The lack of ongoing capital planning for reserves can spell disaster for ratepayers. As a good analogy, most people have heard horror stories of condo/homeowner associations where annual budgets did not anticipate structural failures or necessary upgrades. This absence of planning leaves association members on the hook for significant costs and payment is often required immediately. Given present realities, infrastructure upgrades and replacements are becoming more and more expensive while government regulation is increasingly stringent. This is as true for the Village of Arrowwood as it is for much larger organizations burdened by a bigger and more costly workforce. Fortunately for the village, we saw significant increase in overall taxable assessment. The Arrowwood Co-op built a new hardware store, assessed much higher than the old store, and improvements to residential property continue to be seen. Given the size of Arrowwood, moderate growth in residential development can translate into tax savings across the board. Even two or three new developments can have a noticeable impact for everyone. This can be seen as one of the benefits of a small but progressive municipality, one of the reasons why new housing should be encouraged. If you would like to be included on a village notification email list, please submit your preferred email to the village office.

Jean Umscheid ■a Billy and I just wanted to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone for the phone calls, visits, pre made dinners, baby gifts and taking the time to come to Paislee's baby shower. We know it's a busy time of year, and we just want everyone to know how much we appreciate it. Paislee is so lucky to belong to such a & it P Thank you Hello all! Well what can I say butthank you, thank you, thank you! What an amazing weekend celebration we had. It was wonderful to see so many friends and family come out to celebrate with us. Any expectations I had were absolutely surpassed by 50 many awesome additions by others. Some of my highlights were finally getting to meet Danny Watt (whom I've only know from the "wall of fame" in the hotel) and simply seeing so many ways that every community member stepped up to add something special in their own way. Whether it was painting houses and buildings, planting gardens and mowing lawns, watering the CIB floweTs, setting up classrooms, helping out during the weekend, or just coming back for a visit, I was so happy to see everyone step up and rise to the occasion like I knew you all would. It seems that every time I turned around, there was another treat in store for me. When I started discussing the idea of this celebration last fall with a few others, 1 had a huge wish list. To my great pleasure, many things I hadn't told anyone about actually happened! I think the highlight was seeing the drone capturing moments throughout our weekend! Great to see you back Gautreaus! I wish to extend a huge thank you to Barb Godkin, Mike Collins (and crew), Chris Gauthier (and crew) for afl of their hard work and insight to planning the weekend. Mike did such an exceptional job of promoting things that Milo was featured in Jerry Forbes' Sunday article in the Calgary Sun! A tremendous thank you goes out to Mike Morishita and his crew from Brooks for bringing us such an exciting event to help celebrate the history of sledding in our area. I do believe it was a thrill for everyone involved! I also wish to give thanks for a wonderful husband who supported me all the way through in so many ways and always fin Journal/Newspaper eskimo* First Nations Metis University of Lethbridge Digitized Collections Alta Canada Kay ENVELOPE(-60.917,-60.917,-64.117,-64.117) Endeavour ENVELOPE(162.000,162.000,-76.550,-76.550) Myers ENVELOPE(170.033,170.033,-72.117,-72.117) Blair ENVELOPE(160.817,160.817,-72.533,-72.533) Tive ENVELOPE(12.480,12.480,65.107,65.107) Forbes ENVELOPE(-66.550,-66.550,-67.783,-67.783) Sutherland ENVELOPE(168.467,168.467,-77.500,-77.500) Kerr ENVELOPE(65.633,65.633,-70.433,-70.433) Lanes ENVELOPE(18.933,18.933,69.617,69.617) Denise ENVELOPE(70.233,70.233,-49.350,-49.350) Kayak ENVELOPE(103.217,103.217,71.533,71.533) Elva ENVELOPE(15.661,15.661,67.546,67.546) Saloon ENVELOPE(-131.387,-131.387,58.133,58.133) Marquis ENVELOPE(-62.500,-62.500,-72.483,-72.483) Gauthier ENVELOPE(-63.583,-63.583,-64.833,-64.833) Kidd ENVELOPE(-65.972,-65.972,-66.448,-66.448) Fanning ENVELOPE(-60.632,-60.632,-72.404,-72.404) Billing ENVELOPE(160.900,160.900,-75.717,-75.717) Royce ENVELOPE(-118.836,-118.836,56.217,56.217) The Soldier ENVELOPE(-55.648,-55.648,52.217,52.217) Bushell ENVELOPE(-108.751,-108.751,59.517,59.517) The Lodge ENVELOPE(-55.731,-55.731,52.250,52.250) Whirlwind ENVELOPE(-65.417,-65.417,-67.500,-67.500) Moan ENVELOPE(9.843,9.843,62.881,62.881) Roa ENVELOPE(14.869,14.869,68.446,68.446) Aly ENVELOPE(132.394,132.394,68.420,68.420) Buick ENVELOPE(-121.221,-121.221,56.750,56.750) Cornwell ENVELOPE(-86.150,-86.150,-77.667,-77.667) Oldfield ENVELOPE(50.617,50.617,-66.833,-66.833) Flyin ENVELOPE(12.250,12.250,64.504,64.504) Kathleen ENVELOPE(-116.836,-116.836,55.617,55.617) Kyle ENVELOPE(17.466,17.466,69.506,69.506) |
