(See inside front cover for details) CranioSacral Therapy is now available CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a “light touch’ approach that involves gently first assessing the tension in soft tissues surrounding the major components of your central nervous system - primarily the head, spine and pelvic areas. Then I use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those 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 muscle tissue. Please ask questions about CST! I welcome the opportunity to share the benefits of this therapy system with you. As a reminder, don’t forget that I'm now direct billing Alberta Blue Cross, AESBP, SunLife, Manulife, Great West Life, etc. Massages are available Fridays & Saturdays at Trends by T.C.

" 1 "1. " Always look before you buy. And when you can. Buy Local. My thoughts. Reverend <^orotouv Crai/vch When the Angel of Death came to call upon John Smith one evening, John responded dismissively, "I am not ready to die as I still have so much to do. Please come back later." The Angel replied, "I'm sorry John. Your time is up and we must leave now." John inquired, "Don't you know who I am? I'm one of the richest men in the world." The Angel nodded, "I know you as I do everyone else. Now hurry along, it's time to go." Believing himself a masterful negotiator, John offered: "If I were to give you 10% of my fortune, which is over a billion dollars, will you turn a blind eye and return in a year?" The Angel shook his head and replied, "You don't seem to understand. It's time to go now." For the next few moments, John tried his best to negotiate with the Angel, giving away more of his fortune for lesser amounts of time. He finally gave in and offered: "If I were to give you all my fortune, which is over $10 billion, will you give me 5 minutes so that I can call my wife and children and tell them that I love them? I have not told them nearly enough and it is very important they know how I feel about them. I also need to seek forgiveness from 2 people whpm I have hurt the most. All I ask is 5 minutes more!" The Angel paused and looked at John curiously asking, "How long did it take you to make your fortune?" "Over 40 years my friend," said John. "It took me over 40 years. It's a great deal in exchange for 5 minutes. Take it and you'll never have to work another day in your life." The Angel sighed and said, "If you are willing to give up 40 years of your life's work for 5 more minutes of time, then why did you simply not make the most of those minutes while you had them?" The lights went out and a moment later, John was gone. His riches could not buy him the time to do what he felt really mattered.

Old socks can be made into high fiber beef jerky by smoking them over an open fire. When smoking a fish, never inhale. A hot rock placed in your sleeping bag will keep your feet warm. A hot enchilada works almost as well, but the cheese sticks between your toes. While the Swiss Army Knife has been popular for years, the Swiss Navy Knife has remained largely unheard of. Its single blade functions as a tiny canoe paddle. Effective January 1,1997, you will actually have to enlist in the Swiss Army to get a Swiss Army Knife. Lint from your navel makes a handy fire starter. Warning: Re­move lint from navel before applying the match. You'll never be lost if you remember that moss always grows on the north side of your compass. You can duplicate the warmth of a down-filled bedroll by climbing into a plastic garbage bag with several geese. When camping, always wear a long-sleeved shirt. It gives you something to wipe your nose on. You can compress the diameter of your rolled up sleeping bag by running over it with your car. Take this simple test to see if you qualify for solo camping. Shine a flashlight into one ear. If the beam shines out the other ear, do not go into the woods alone. A two-man pup tent does not include two men or a pup. A potato baked in the coals for one hour makes an excellent side dish. A potato baked in the coals for three hours makes an excellent hockey puck. In emergency situations, you can survive in the wilderness by shooting small game with a slingshot made from the elastic waistband of your underwear. The guitar of the noisy teenager at the next campsite makes ex­cellent kindling. Check the washing instructions before purchasing any apparel to be worn while camping. Buy only those that read: "Beat on a rock in stream.'' The sight of a bald eagle has thrilled campers for generations. The sight of a bald man, however, does absolutely nothing for the eagle. It's entirely possible to spend your whole vacation on a winding mountain road behind a large motor home. Bear bells provide an element of safety for hikers in grizzly coun­try. The tricky part is getting them on the bears. A great deal of hostility can be released by using newspaper photos of politicians for toilet paper. In an emergency, a drawstring from a parka hood can be used to strangle a snoring tent mate. Get even with a bear who raided your food bag by kicking his favorite stump apart and eating all the ants. Camping Life Lessons Any stone in a hiking boot migrates to the point of maximum pressure. The distance to a given camp site remains constant as twilight approaches. The number of mosquitoes at any given location is inversely proportional to the amount of repellent that remains. The probability of diarrhea increases with the square of the this­tle content of the local vegetation. The area of level ground in the neighborhood tends to vanish as the need to make camp becomes finite. In a mummy bag the urgency of ones need to urinate is inversely proportional to the amount of clothing worn. It is also in­versely proportional to the temperature and the degree to which the mummy bag is completely zipped up. The width of backpack straps decreases with the distance hiked. To compensate, the weight of the backpack increases. Average temperature increases with the amount of clothing brought. Tent stakes come only in the quantity "N-1" where N is the num­ber of stakes necessary to stake down a tent. Propane/butane tanks that are full when they are packed, will unexplainably empty themselves:before you can reach the campsite. Given a chance, matches will find a way to get wet. Your side of the tent is the side that leaks. All foods assume a uniform taste, texture, and color when freeze -dried. When reading the instructions of a pump-activated water filter, "hour" should be substituted for "minute” when reading the average quarts filtered per minute. The weight in a backpack can never remain uniformly distribut­ed. All tree branches in a forest grow outward from their respective trunks at exactly the height of your nose. If you are male, tree branches will also grow at groin height. You will lose the little toothpick in your Swiss Army knife as soon as you open the box. Enough dirt will get tracked into the tent on the first day out, that you can grow the food you need for the rest of the trip in rows between sleeping bags. The sun sets three-and-a-half times faster than normal when you're trying to set up camp. Tents never come apart as easily when you're leaving a site as when you're trying to get them set up in the first place. When planning to take time off of work/school for your camping trip, always add an extra week, because when you get home from your "vacation” you'll be too tired to go back for a week after.

On his recent trip to the Provincial Archives in Edmonton, Neil Godkin found this photo #UC 245 entitled Queenstown Ferry 1916. This picture shows the Ferryman's house and another building on the far side of the river. A hay wagon with 1 horse in view (most likely 2 horses), three men, a tractor and another empty wagon (possibly another horse or 2) are on the ferry. A horse and wagon (?) wait on the other side. Does anyone have any information about this? Where exactly was it? If you have any great treasures like this, the Milo Library Archives would love to have them in our collection. * The Magic of a Close Shave An old cowboy walked into a barbershop in Red Lodge, Montana for a shave and a haircut. He eased himself into the chair, and told the barber that he’d sought “professional help” because he couldn’t get all his whiskers off. “The problem is these damn cheeks are just so wrinkled from living life in the sun and wind ■ and maybe a bit because of my age," the cowboy said. The barber smiled, and said 'Relax, you’re not the first man to need a trick or two to get a smooth, close shave". The barber then removed a little wooden ball from a cup on the shelf. "Now sir, just slip this inside your cheek, and move it around for me while I work." Sure enough, the little wooden ball did the trick, stretching out the skin, and the cowboy grinned widely when the barber had finished. "Partner, that’s the cleanest shave I’ve had in years" the cowboy said. "But I’ve got one question. What would happen if a customer accidentally swallowed that ball?’ "No big deaf replied the barber. “You would just bring it back in a couple of days, like everyone else does." Father's Day is like Mothers Day, except you can buy a less expensive gift." The Internet really is a “Net” Many people think of the Internet as a linear system of wires or cables, like our phone system used to be, or our cable system is now. In fact rather than spokes from a hub, or a straight highway, both of which can be interrupted easily, the Internet was designed by the military, specifically to survive a nuclear attack, where many large holes (being nice to call them holes) would be punched into a communications system. So instead the Internet was built like a large fishnet. There were multiple “threads” linking parts together. In addition, each bit of data carried with it both where it was from, and where it was headed, so that it could be re­routed around a blockage or “hole". We are very lucky to have the Internet, and must remember that it wasn't designed for what it does today - but that it does in fact, do a wonderful job of serving us all. 2017 This Is What Happens In An Internet Minute facebook Go g'e 900,000 16 Million Ye,® | © Local Artist Dale Cote featured in 40th Anniversary Orchid Fair in St. Alberta The following write-up is found at http://www.eniovcentre.ca/40th-anniversary-orchid-fair- april-7-9th-2017 Spring has sprung and the Orchid Society of Alberta is proud to announce their 40th Annual Orchid Fair in the Moonflower Room at the Hole's Greenhouses in St. Albert (101 Riel Drive), April 7 to 9, 2017. • Celebrating the hobby of orchid growing for 40 years, Orchid Fair has become the largest of its kind in Canada. • With over 15,000 square-feet of display space in the Moonflower Room, the Orchid Fair has something for every enthusiast, from beginner plants to the rare and exotic. • The Orchid Fair also includes displays, art and photography, and a variety of workshops for budding and expert growers alike. • With 15 vendors confirmed thus far, this year’s fair will feature 7 Albertan, 4 national and 4 international vendors. More to be announced!

In an amazing example of "upcycling," Cote fashions extremely intricate looking orchids out of discarded metal objects. The 2.5 x 2.5 metre project took over 4000 hours to create, and is a photo opportunity that should not be missed! Dale won a special award in the Art Show category. Here is a sample of his work that can be seen locally at the Milo Library.

The Terry Fox Foundation A single dream. A world of hope. March 1, 2017 Joanne Monner Box 44 Milo AB T0L1L0 Fox Family at Mount Terry Fox Dedication Ceremony -1981 Dear Joanne, It could be said that our family has lived in the “cancer world” for close to four decades but we realized last year, when our dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, that our experience had been mostly peripheral. We never witnessed the impact of Adriamycin and Methotrexate on our brother Terry - he would not allow us to see his pain and suffering. He would check himself into the BC Cancer Agency clinic for his chemo treatments and leave only when he had fully recovered. With Dad we took it all in; we were there for every appointment, doctor meetings and radiation treatment. The 200,000 Canadians diagnosed each year with cancer became so much more personal; each number represented a life, important and connected to family and friends. We witnessed those connections, the love and the hope. And yes, there was hope. In fact, we could feel hope everywhere. Despite his frail health, advancing age and a Stage 4 diagnosis, Dad still reached for the opportunities to extend his life that were potentially available to him. Unfortunately, he did not test positive for the EGFR mutation and the Personalized Onco-Genomics Program available to patients with metastatic disease. Yet, your contribution to The Terry Fox Foundation gave our Dad, and everyone facing a cancer diagnosis, HOPE. Hope was a big word for Terry. He left the cancer ward full of hope, believing research had increased his chances of surviving cancer. It lived in every step he took and every mile he ran on the Marathon of Hope. Today, 36 years later, you create and sustain hope with everything you do in organizing a Terry Fox Run in Milo.

These buildings were given to the villages for use as municipal offices. The renovations include painting, minor electrical upgrades, new flooring and new signage. Funds for these projects will come from the Municipal Sustainability Initiative Capital Funding as provided to every municipality in Alberta. This project is part of larger municipal facilities projects, projects which also entail renovations to be completed on the municipal library in Arrowwood and the municipally operated post office in Milo, a service that will remain at 119 Centre Street. Administration will be moving into the new village offices in June. Both villages are looking at a variety of capital projects, trying to balance the priority of each with the funding available. This is not always an easy task! Work is needed on the sewer sanitary system, the water treatment facilities, sidewalks, special projects, as well as on roadwork and drainage management. It takes time to work out the details of these projects and their priority. The capital budgets will be finalized in June. We are also working toward updating our long term capital planning so that information can be made available to ratepayers this summer. Village Council and Administration are working to issue tax notices at the end of June. They will be payable at the end of August. Given that elections for municipal councils will occur this October, Village Administration is working toward hosting an Open House and General Meeting in the new village offices this summer. Further details will be made available as they are worked out. Finally, please make every effort to contain pets on your own property. Wandering dogs and cats is constant issue, and we have received recent complaints. Unsightly premises have also risen in the number of complaints. Action is being taken and more information will be provided on this matter in next month’s Can Opener.

Unless the job is a statistician. The Calculating Sheepdog After a talking sheepdog gets all the sheep in the pen, he reports back to the farmer: “All 40 accounted for.” “But I only have 36 sheep,” says the farmer. “I know,” says the sheepdog. “But I rounded them up.” An I.Q.

The scientist slaps his forehead. “That’s it!" he says. “I can never remember the name.” Professors Define a Kiss In math: Two divided by nothing. In physics: The contraction of the mouth due to the expansion of the heart. In accounting: It’s a credit, because it is profitable when returned. In economics: A thing for which the demand is higher than the supply. Hear About the Statistician. Hear about the statistician who drowned crossing a river? It was three feet deep on average. A Joke of Little Value. Q: Did you hear about the mathematician who’s afraid of negative numbers? A: He will stop at nothing to avoid them. A Genius Solution I put my root beer in a square glass. Now it’s just beer. Invariable Consequences Q: How do mathematicians scold their children?

Regular Meeting of Village of Arrowwood Council Thursday, April 20th, 2017 Page 2The Milo Hotel and T’s Saloon Summer Hours We are now open every day at 11:00 a.m. Wednesdays 6 to 9 p.m. Sagewood Round-up Just look at that calendar, it’s the May long weekend. It used to be called Victoria Day and was on May 24. It was celebrated on 24th no matter what day of the week it fell on. A long weekend was needed in May to keep up with the other months I have been told. That is probably true. The roads are very busy; many out on their first spring get-away. Hope they are all careful on their outings. Those of you who have seeding to do will be busy. Those who have seeding and livestock to care for will have double duty, good luck. Did you get your fair share of April showere or might it have been cold and with snow flurries as there was here in Strathmore? Some light rain showers too. By now, many of you will know that Margarite Godkin has moved into the Sagewood building. Not on my floor, but I located her room and visited. Was pleased to see her doing very well; getting around easily with her walker. Way to go Margarite! I hope you will be happy here. Another “gent” some of you may know, Walter Hayes, has moved into Sagewood, on my floor. I did not know Walter, but knew his brother Stewart and Ella and family who were very involved in the Arrow- wood community. Walter has spent most of his years between Gleichen and Arrowwood. His wife is able to visit often. May you have many enjoyable years with us Walter. My next door neighbour, Grace Williams, has been to her sister Freda’s funeral, who I also knew at Arrowwood. She was a warm and friendly, always helpful, lady. She and husband Bert Setters operat­ed the Milo Transport. Bought from Roy Helm, the transport hauled mail to and from our Post Office, the supplies for the two grocery stores, the hardware store and many others in town and area. Arrow- wood and Milo were very busy in those days, the years of 1950’s. Today the Milo Transport is still in operation and successfully being operated by Nick Zaytsoff. A much needed service covering a large area. May this continue for many, many years to come. Before closing, I must tell you of an incident that occurred recently to me. My pillow was very un­comfortable one night. I had tried to shift or remove it. That did-not work. Only one thing to do - call for help. This was midnight, soon after my call, our night staff appeared. I told them there is a button on my pillow hurting'my head. One helper had a sudden look of fright and took off out of my sight. I must have looked stressed, and along with what I had said, he must have thought I’d lost my mind! The oth­er helper, a woman, stayed to hear the rest of the story. Seeing her there calming holding the offensive pillow, he came back to also find out more. Which you will now learn. About this time last year, Sagewood was planning a yard sale. Most of the items are donated by residents, staff and those in the community. The recreation staff had heard of this novel idea (I wouldn’t call it that). You buy a foam pillow, then stitch it to it the front of a man’s shirt as a cover, buttons and all. I had bought one of these pillows. When I had gone to bed that night, those helping me had used this pillow, and not noticed that it was unusual. So that is my little story. I thought it was amusing. Of course there are many people with varying degrees of dementia. The staff deal with those daily. A yard sale is planned again this spring, to be held June 10, mid-morning to late afternoon, outdoors in front of the building. I shall say good-bye for now. Stay safe and enjoy the warm days, they are soon gone. Sincerely, Nancy Bertschy AAnnouncements Thank you Thank you to everyone that works hard to beautify the village with various flower plantings around town. So much appreciated!!! Obituary Walden, Donald Brent With sad hearts, Jean and Larry Umscheid announce the passing of their son Brent, at 62 years of age, on May 3, 2017 at Whitehorse Yukon. Brent was born and raised in Calgary and moved to the Yukon in the late 1970’s. He worked in the mining industry and for the City of Whitehorse for 30 years as a journeyman electrician until his retirement. Brent loved the north and had many interests in the outdoors including camping, fishing, dogsledding and trying to strike it rich on his placer mine in Keno City, Yukon. He will be missed by all who knew him. ft————.■■■—.

We use a master spreadsheet to print out our labels and also count each bundle (Vulcan, Arrowwood, Calgary, etc.) to make sure none have been missed. If an item is “undeliverable” or improperly labelled, we get an email or phone call. That has not been the case. We are working with Canada Post to see what has happened, but decided not to reprint the May issue because the material would be too dated. For our July issue mailing, we will extend the subscriptions for all of those mailing areas missed by an extra month to correct for the May loss. Our apologies. This has been very frustrating for us. - Milo Can Opener Volunteers . rf FATHER'S DAY June 2017 SUN MON TUE WED THUR FRI SAT i » 1 Milo Library Computer Classes 10am, 11:15am, 2pm, 3pm 2 Cards & Games Drop-In 1:30pm Grade 9 Grad Celebration Milo Hall 5:00pm 3 4 Arrowwood Gospel Church - 11:00 am 5 Learning Exhibition School 1:30-3:00 pm Kids Baseball Practice 5:15 - 6:00 pm 6 7 Evening Yoga Church 6:45 - 8:00pm Lions Supper Meeting Milo Hall 7:00 pm • 8 Milo Library Computer Classes 10am, 11:15am, 2pm, 3pm Kindergarten and Pre-K Graduation 6:30 - 7:30 pm 9 Cards & Games Drop-In 1:30pm 10 11 Hope Lutheran Church - 9:00 am 12 Kids Baseball Practice 5:15 - 6:00 pm 13 14 Evening Yoga Church 6:45 - 8:00pm 15 Milo Library Computer Classes 10am, 11:15am, 2pm, 3pm 16 Painting in the Park Lions Park 10 am - noon Cards & Games Drop-In 1:30pm 17 Arrowwood Gospel Church - 11:00 am 18 Father’s Day Arrowwood Gospel Church - 11:00 am 19 Kids Baseball Practice 5:15 - 6:00 pm 20 Library Board Meeting Milo Library 7 pm Village of Milo Council Meeting Library 7:00 pm 21 Evening Yoga Church 6:45 - 8:00pm Lions Steak Fry & Installation Officers Milo Hall 6:00 pm 22 Milo Library Computer Classes 10am, 11:15am, 2pm, 3pm 23 Cards & Games Drop-In 1:30pm Milo Lions Ladies Night Aspen Crossing 24 25 Hope Lutheran Church - 9:00 am 26 Kids Baseball Practice 5:15 - 6:00 pm 27 can Articles Milo Library Board Meeting Library 7:00 pm 28 School BBQ & Awards School - noon Evening Yoga Church 6:45 - 8:00pm 29 Milo Library Computer Classes " 10am, 11:15am, 2pm, 3pm 30 Cards & Games Drop-In 1:30pm Julyl Canada Day Milo Lions Canada Day Pancake Breakfast Hall 8:00-10:00 am Arrowwood Gospel Church -11:00 am Milo Co-Ed Beach Volleyball Tournament July 1 & 2
