Revered Crnvwh I am borrowing the words of Brother Jonathan Maury, SSJE this month. He wrote an article on vocation. Now you may be thinking that that is just for those called to a religious life - priest, deacon, brother, sister. But he also supplies a definition by scholar Walter Brueggeman - vocation is a purpose for being in the world that is related to the purposes of God. So that call may be to religious life, but may be just as easily to take up the law, become a nurse or other medical professional, possibly even, for those of you who are specially gifted, to be an accountant. In your prayer time, listen for the voice of God. Do not be surprised if you are led in a different direction. Some of us are late bloomers and receive the call a little later in life. At your baptism there are a number of promises that are made on your behalf. Some of these include to continue the apostle's teaching and fellowship, In the breaking of bread, and in the prayers, to resist evil, to repent of your sins and return to the Lord, to proclaim by word and example the good news of God in Christ, to seek and serve Christ in all persons, to strive for justice and peace among all people. In those promises are contained the seeds for many careers or professions. Yes, you can see a service in the ministry of the church, but also for lawyers & peacekeepers. Jesus did not single out any position or employment as better than another, although He did not hesitate to criticize those who abused their position: the tax collectors, members of the Roman army, the money changers and so on. As I mentioned, God's call can change, with the circumstances of time. Just think of the jobs and careers that once were and now are gone. The companies that have served their purposes and have now faded into oblivion. For some this was a time of desperation. For others it was the door opening to another opportunity. Jesus was a carpenter for quite a few years before He embarked upon His ministry, the healing, the casting out of demons, before finally ending up in Jerusalem and the final journey to Calvary and the cross and ultimately to the resurrection and ascension. It is through prayer that we can best hear the voice of God. And sometimes, it is only when looking back that we can see where the hand of God has led us down one path or the other. At any time in our life we will hold several 'vocations'. For example, a person may be called to be a parent, a grandparent, a farmer, an IT specialist, a vestry member, and a library board member. Each of these may come with a sense of vocation or calling from God. There is no doubt that God wants you to perform in each of these callings to the best of your abilities and fulfill this vocation to God's glory. i Lead a life worthy-of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing one another with love. St. Paul (Ephesians 4:1-2) We all have a vocation. We believe that God has placed us in this life to fill a special need that no one else can accomplish. St. Frances de Sales You will know your vocation by the joy that it gives you. You will know then it's right.

Friday June 8th 10:00am - 12:00pm Presented by the Milo and District Recreation Board Research done by Neil Godkin Gleichen Call, 7 March 1918, Page 1, Item Ar00105 Robert Taggart Meets a Terrible Death Dragged by Horse Over Two Miles With Foot Caught in Stirrup Robert Taggart, the 11 year old son of David Taggart, met a fearful death on Friday of last week, near the home of John Kingsmith's at Queenstown. It appears he was riding a horse when he met an automobile driven by K. Vingie (Vinje) and the horse becoming frightened jumped over a fence. In so doing the boy was thrown from his saddle, unfortunately his foot caught in the stirrup and he was dragged about two and half miles, and when finally rescued life was extinct. Coroner Farquharson was summoned and after taking the evidence of five persons who witnessed the terrible death, decided an inquest quite unnecessary. It appears that the horse he was riding has a reputation of being "sort of crazy at times" as one man said, and there was cause whatever to fund fault with the auto driver under the circumstances. The remains were taken to Vulcan for interment. The greatest sympathy of the entire neighborhood is extended to the sorrowing father, mother and other relatives in their bereavement by the terrible tragedy. National Volunteer Week in Canada This year, I will be sending certificates of recognition to great volunteers in our riding. Do you know an i outstanding individual in your community making a real difference in the lives of others? I think we all know someone who's hard work and volunteerism deserves to be recognized.

Milo Lions Archivist Fellowship Milo Lions Club will once again sponsor work for Milo Archives by providing funding through their Fel­lowship Program. This year they will be funding Contract Archivist Roberta Kerr for a few weeks begin­ning in mid May. She will be concentrating on Ian Thom­sons’ Collection, the Queenstown Collection, Milo Home and School & Parent Teacher Group, and several small accruals to existing fonds. We also got some funding from Archives Socie­ty of Alberta to create Plans, Policies and Procedures for Born Digital Records. As this is a new format for Archives, there really is a need for this development. Some Ar­chives have had personal computers donated to their institution, with no general di­rection on how to preserve the information. It is the wave of the future. So if you see the black Jeep parked in front of the Library at all hours, don’t worry about putting it up on Vulcan County Rural Crime Watch. archives SOCIETY OF ALBERTA New Purchases Dark, Dark Wood $$$% by Ruth Ware, Breaking Point by Allison Brennan, Sticks and Bones by ADULT FICTION The Fallen by David Baldacci, Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell, I’ve Got My Eyes on You by Mary Higgins Clark, The Weed That Strings the Hangman’s Bag, I am Half- Sick of Shadows, The Dead in Their Vaulted Arches,, The Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust (a series by Alan Bradley), | Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews, The Great Alone by Kristin Han­nah, Origin by Dan Brown, Sun- I burn by Laura Lippman, Only Killers and Thieves by Paul Howarth, Let Me Lie by Clare Mackintosh, The Thirst by Jo Nesbo, In a jssm Mtms Carolyn Haines, The Little Old Lady Strikes Again by Cath-arina Ingelman- Sundberg, Keep Quiet by , Lisa Scottoline, The Neighbors [ by Hannah Mary [ McKinnon, /’// Be Your Blue Sky ■ by Marisa de los [ Santos, / Know a I Secret by Tess Gerritsen, Every Day Above Ground by Glen Erik Hamilton ADULT NON­FICTION The Healing Pow­ers of Honey by Cal Orey, Killing Jesus by Bill O’Reilly & Martin Dugard, The , Never Ending Present The | Story of Gord Downey and * The Tragically Hip by Michael Barelay CHRISTIAN FICTION His Risk by Shelley Shep­ard Gray, The the Heart Between hcit'tt Us by Lindsay Harrel Y HONEY New Purchases Continued from p a g e 1 /'"FRIENDS OF Tllfe LIBRARY \ Milo Library ADULT WESTERN The Trail West Hang Him Twice by William W Johnstone, Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton, DVD’s & Blu-Ray Three Billboards, Darkest Hour, Father Figures, Lady Bird, I Tonya, Jumanji, The Greatest Showman, Game of Thrones Season 6 JUNIOR DVD’s: Ferdinand, Coco YOUNG ADULT FICTION The Width of the World by David Baidacci, Order of Darkness Dark Tracks by Philippa Gregory, Zeroes Book Three - Nexus by Scott Westerfield JUNIOR FICTION An Acceptable Time by Madeleine L’Engle, Many Waters by Madeleine L’Engle, Bad Kitty Takes the Test by Nick Bruel, JUNIOR NON­FICTION Train Your Brain How Your Brain Learns Best by Jeff Szpirglas and Danielle Saint-Onge, Heads Up!

Ph 1-877-364-2929 Greg Deitz Invisible Fence Brand April 2018 Hello Residents of Milo From the CAO’s Desk VILLAGE OF Well time goes by quickly and we finally are starting to witness some warmer and more enjoyable weather. Milo Council and Administration have remained very busy this year reviewing and strategically strategizing on community needs and circumstances for ALBERTA 2018. Our annual 2017 financial audit has been completed and was presented to council by our auditor during the regular scheduled Council meeting on Tuesday April 17, 2018. The outcome of the report indicated that fiscal responsibility prevailed and that the Village internal processes met industry best practices. In other words, over all, we fared quite well. A copy of our Financial Statement has already been forward to the Alberta Government in order to meet our requirements outlined in the New Municipal Government Act. (MGA) We tried to upload this report onto our web site but unfortunately the document was too large. We are presently working to resolve this issue. Therefore any one that would like a copy to review, please contact or visit the Milo Village Office. Our staff has been very busy getting upgraded on our internal record management system in order to review and provide efficiencies to our present internal protocols and accounting principles. The Village Office has installed a new Blue Drop Box which is located at the front of our office on 200 Centre Street. We are in the process of stenciling it. Residents will now be able to drop off a tax payment and/or utility payment if the office is not open. Please do not submit envelopes with cash, just cheques and state or attach what the amount goes to. The community urban revitalization project has been underway with the arrival of the new banners and hardware which will be installed this week. Recently, with the assistance of Stephanie Laroche, the ordering and purchase of flowers to beautify our community appearance was completed. We will request and arrange community work details for planting in the very near future. The 12 solar light posts and 8 additional flower boxes for the down town core is still underway. We are just waiting to hear from our 3 potential partnerships on this initiative. It looks very promising and partnership acceptance should be shortly. Administration humbly request that property owners/renters go the extra mile as they say this year to ensure that our home provides a good curb appeal. We are really marketing our community this year to attract visitors and promote additional community growth. Our Village web site is continually being modified to provide information about our community and what it has to offer. A short promotion video is also included to enhance our business sector and additional promotional material will be included shortly. So, we urge everyone to visit our Village web site at www.villageofmilo.ca Council would like to provide an up-date on where they are in relation to some existing and new community capital projects for 2018. The ones that are currently underway, but not limited to: > Community Marketing Growth Initiative new (underway with completion in the late fall) > Urban Parkway, Commercial Revitalization new (underway and completed in June/July) > Municipal Office Technology upgrades (ordered and installation completion May 2018) > Village contribution to Fire Association (Confirmed) > 2 Street North pavement (MPE Engineering in process for tendering) new/existing (no decision will be made until submissions reviewed in relation to associated cost) > Curb Stop Rehabilitation (existing and completed by fall) > Sidewalk Improvements (existing completed summer 2018) > Water Plant and Sewage Lagoon repairs, up-grades existing (in progress and completed in summer) > The replacement of the Post Office (New research cost underway and completion 2018) > 13 Village Hydrants to be Inspected Flow Tested and flushed. New (contract issued) Completion summer (Notice to residents will prevail prior to flushing. The month of May will be extremely busy for Council and Administration as we will be finalizing the 2018 Municipal Tax Levy and Capital work projects. If all goes well, Council objective is to have the 2018 Village Property Tax Levy out in June 2018. Again, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Council, our Village Staff, my Family and the community for their continued support.

Your Spring Horoscope by Mr. Q: Taurus April 20—May 20: You remain reliable, responsible and stubborn as hell. Cranky is ‘in the house' as you wait for the green spring that is so important to you. Concentrate on gourmet cooking and your love life. Gemini May 21—June 20: As usual, you are conflicted about the weather (and everything else). Short trips to Vulcan help a lot, as does music this month. Yes, you will find a new friend to share everything. Never be afraid to call someone to chat. Cancer June 21—July 22: Tough to be relaxed with all the water (that you love) lying in ditches. Concentrate on that hobby, it will get you through this spring. Keep your personal life locked in the box where you like it. No one needs to know, right? Leo July 23—August 22: The brightness is helping, but you desire yellows and golds, not mud. You need and deserve a holi­day, but that’s not going to happen now. Stay positive—view and enjoy as many sunrises as you can. Those days will be great! Virgo August 23—September 22: Spring is a ton a de­tails, all of which matter to you. Make some lists! Keep things organized, concentrate on that pet, or that book. Yes, you can ask for help—and Taurus & Capricorn are happy to provide it. Libra September 23—October 22: Time to drop your winter grudge and go back to your very fair-minded and gracious self. Keep smiling, and those conflicts will melt away. Work on supporting that partner—they are important in your life. Scorpio October 23—November 21: Worries about re­searching your decisions will walk with you. Relax, ask a trusted friend. Remember your calm and cool manner are a pillar of sup­port for those around you. Don’t hesitate to say “That’s true.” Sagittarius November 22—December 21: You can finally spend that time outdoors! Don’t hesitate to make firm travel plans—things will work out fine. Stay away from the off-the-wall theories, and work on goals that are achievable—that is what you do best. Capricorn December 22—January 19: Trust yourself to manage the spring list. When dealing with family be subtle and give them time to see what’s right. (You’ve already learned from that mistake.) Keep your plans simple and easy for others to un­derstand. And relax! You're not really that stiff, are you? Aquarius January 20—February 18: Time to do your thinking on the deck, or the mower. Take the alone time—you need that quiet to restore your power. If you cultivate an activity that's 'just enough’ it will keep you from being bored, but still allow your mind to drift and see the possibilities that excite you. Pisces February 19—March 20: Romance may pop up, but take a good look. There is a martyr out there who does not deserve your compassion. Your intuition is great as always. Something visual will touch your heart—embrace it. S^MILOs°chooy| Empowering Lifelong Learners PRINCIPAL’S MBSSAGB FOR May - Celebrating Our Journey!

Thank you so very much. On Thursday, March 29 we had our first Culture Celebration and Potluck. Thank you parents for bringing in cultural dishes.

Evergreen Theatre returned to us once again with their presentation of "Sinking Island” and the tales of young sailor Katie Swells. Jenny and Taryn from Evergreen helped us learn a lot and laugh a lot with a fast paced, show featuring some songs we have heard in pop culture, with a twist. One song, which remained in stuck in the heads of many, was done to the tune of the 90’s hit “Gangsta’s Paradise” where they sang, "We bringing doom and gloom living in a gangsta algal boom" - truly entertaining! In one hour, Jenny and Taryn unpacked the van, set up the gym, and trained their Milo School volunteers. They truly delighted our audiences, and we can't wait to have Evergreen back in December to put on our Christmas production with our school.
