Phone (403) 599-2204 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.

Rzverei/vd ^ordoi/v Crauvob r QZ?"_"1 J NJI TT The young father scolded his 4 year old daughter for wasting a roll of gold wrapping paper on Christmas. Their money was tight and he became irate when his child decorated a box to put under their meager tree. Nevertheless, the little girl brought the gift to her father the next morning and said. "This one is for you, Daddy". At first he was embarrassed by his overreaction the night before, but his temper flared again when he found the box was empty. Admonishing her, he said, "Don't you know that when you give someone a present, there's supposed to be something inside of it?" His little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes and said, "But Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into the box, and all of them in there are for you." The father was moved to tears at her thoughtfulness and his own thoughtlessness. He put his arms around his little girl and he begged her forgiveness, which of course, she gave to him. He kept that gold box by his bed for many years. Whenever he was feeling down, he would take out -an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it in there. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13 August Services: Sunday 13th - 9:00 am Sunday 27th - 9:00 am see you. tuv chwrckl Milo Libraryl jjUtlo Ittrar?

Milo Library Summer Reading Program 2017 The first Summer Reading Program of this summer was Tuesday July 4, and it has run every Tuesday since then. This year’s theme is “Canada” in conjunction with our country’s 150th birthday. The crafts and games the kids have participated in so far have been quite fun. For our first craft, we made “Bopper Headbands”. The craft was designed to encourage the kids to create something that expressed their personality and what they liked. The results of this lead to some pretty interesting headbands, as seen in the picture below. The picture to the right showcases the results of our “Atlantic Puffin” Craft We have had lots of fun so far, and there will be more to come! I hope to see you there! Nadine Bertschy In addition to playing indoor games, we have also had the chance to go to the park to play as well. The group favourite was beach volleyball: the kid’s vs the instructors. It would seem that the kids quite enjoyed making the instructors run for the ball. There have been many games that the kids have been able to play as well. One of their favorites so far has been one called “Broken Television”. How this game works is one person is shown a clue, and they then have 20 seconds to draw what they think the clue would look like. When their time is up, they pass their drawing onto the next person. This person then has to describe what the previous person drew. It then alternates its way around the circle until one revolution has been completed. The resulting drawings and descriptions led to quite a few laughs.

Denise Brown j Hoirrtylisf/Owner Cbny, AB | 4OM6WI29 Retirement It's never about at what age we want to retire, it's at what income. The reason your children and their grandparents get along so well is because they have a common enemy - you. Money isn't everything but it sure keeps you in touch with your children. Retirement is the time in your life when time is no longer money. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Be nice to your kids. They'll be the ones who choose your nursing home. Why do Retirees smile all the time? Because they can't hear a word you're saying! Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving. My grandfather has the heart of a lion and a lifetime t^an from local zoo. How can you tell that you're getting old? You go to an antique auction and see all your furniture! Another World's Oldest Man has died. This is beginning to look suspicious. How do you get a sweet little 80-year-old lady to say the “F" word? Get another sweet little 80-year-old lady to yell ‘BINGO*! If the music's too loud you're probably too old. Back in my day, we didn't watch TV while we ate dinner. We actually talked to each other. It was awful. I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it dawned on me . they were cramming for their finals. A retired husband is often a wife's full-time job. You know you're fifty when your chiropractor begins to send you birthday cards. I don't date older women - because it takes too long to listen to their life story. I was at an ATM and this old lady asked me to help check her balance, so I pushed her in the shoulder, and sure enough, she fell over. The word “Happy” I asked my wife what she wanted for Christmas. She told me "Nothing would make her happier than a diamond necklace" So I bought her nothing. When I see ads on TV with smiling, happy housewives using a new cleaning product, the only thing I want to buy are the meds they must be on. People say money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you had enough money, you can have a key made. There's nothing like the joy on a kid’s face when he first sees the PlayStation box - containing the socks I got him for Christmas. To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. As best man it is my job to tell you about the groom, and all the embarrassing things that have happened to him in the 28 years leading up to what was the happiest day of his life - or was before I started this speech. Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go. If the fortune has turned her back on you, you can do whatever you want behind her back. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye. Then it's just a game. Find the eye! At the Comic Convention, all I could think was how happy these people's moms must be to have the house to themselves for a few hours. The only thing more important than your happiness is mine, so get on it. Money can't buy happiness, but it can help you look for it more quickly, in a convertible, with a good looking helper. It is said that, you can’t buy happiness. You only need to know the right places. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure does make misery easier to live with. For my wife's birthday, I bought her a fridge freezer. I know it's not much, but you should have seen her face light up when she opened it. Despite my last 12,000 tweets& posts, I'm actually really fun. Whenever I see you there is a smile on my face. And by smile I meant laugh.We have a winner in the Teddy for a Toonie Children's Hospitals Charitable Promotion! Congratulations to Sydney!

Researchers at the University of Exeter and King’s College London earned out online testing on more than 17,000 healthy people aged 50 to gauge their memory, attention and reasoning. They found that the more regularly participants engaged with word puzzles, the better they performed on tasks assessing attention, reasoning and memory. From their results, researchers calculate that people who engage in daily word puzzles have brain function equivalent to 10 years younger than their age, on tests of grammatical reasoning speed and short-term memory accuracy. The researchers say that if it was proved causal, a daily crossword could help prevent mental decline in later life.

In keeping with the war measure which necessitated the change in the metallic content of the five cent coins temporarily from nickel to tombac, a new design for the five cent piece having a "Victory" motif was evolved by the Mint staff late in 1942. The (then) Minister of finance selected the most appropriate design from the sketches submitted and the master die was cut in steel direct by the Mint engraver, Thomas Shingles, in time for issue on the 1st of January, 1943. The design has an impression of the character "V," which indicates the denomination, the Roman numeral for "five," and is also the symbol "V" for Victory made so popular during that period by Mr. Winston Churchill. To this is conjoined a Torch, emblematic of Sacrifice, the whole designed to convey the idea that victory cometh by sacrifice and willingness to work. The design is surrounded by a Morse code message that reads: "We win when we work willingly." It starts at 6 o'clock and runs clockwise. This design was used from 1943 to 1945.

Regular Meeting of Village of Arrowwood Council Tuesday, June 13th, 2017 Page 1 VILLAGE OF Dear Residents & Ratepayers, July 31, 2017 I had planned to provide the tax notice and budget letter for Milo in this issue of the Milo Can Opener. Unfortunately, it has been delayed and will be provided next month instead. By the end of this week, the move into the new village offices should be complete. Signs should be up on both offices by the first full week of August, prior to the Lions Barbecue and Show’n Shine on August 13th. We have new polymetal signs with the village logos and these will be inserted into aluminum frames. The new signs will occupy the same dimensions as the previous signs for Scotiabank, negating any need to modify the siding. Without going into too much detail, added urgency has been given to improving the location of the Village of Milo’s Post Office, as well as the working environment for village employees. Until further notice, postal service will be provided out of the old municipal office side of the building, although we will continue to use the current post office box arrangement until a new configuration can be devised. We appreciate everyone’s understanding during the short while we put all mail on general delivery. On July 18th an Arrowwood resident informed me that we had water emerging from main water valve, surfacing on the corner of 1st Street West and 1st Avenue. This, of course, was indicative of a water leak from the distribution network, although the location of this leak remained a mystery. This particular leak was initially very gradual and not a major outflow of water. As such, we took steps to notify our contractor and made arrangements for its eventual repair. It was not until the second week that this loss of water from our distribution network actually registered at the water treatment plant. When that happened, a small sink hole opened up in the middle of 1st Street, what we took to be evidence of the leak location. This past Friday our contractor was on site searching for the source of the water. What would normally be a straightforward repair turned into a four day process,, three of which were spent looking (with a hydrovac truck) for the failure in the distribution system. On Sunday, we found a leak in one of the service lines but we are not entirely certain that this is the only leak; the ground was very saturated and water seemed to run in more than one direction (we are also wondering if a ground water issue might be at play). As such, we are now considering the replacement of approximately three additional services which are old and will eventually cause problems, if they aren't already. Also last week, Milo residents were issued a water rationing notice on July 25th as significant repairs were needed on the clarifier at the water treatment plant. Fortunately, we were able to hire a mobile aluminum welding contractor to come and make the necessary repairs within 24 hours. As a result of this breakdown, Village Administration is looking at longer term solutions to ensure that the village’s water treatment system remains operational for many years to come. With respect to the new Land Use Bylaw that the Village of Milo is introducing, the village council will conduct a second public hearing at its regular meeting in August. Back in June, there had been a mix up at the Oldman River Regional Services Commission (the organization that provides planning services to the villages) and necessary notification had not been sent to Alberta Transportation and Vulcan County to inform them that this bylaw was being considered. Finally, please stay tuned for further direction on unsightly premises and wandering pets. Village Administration will turn its attention back to this matter once the municipal office has been fully relocated and tax notices have been issued. Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative Officer VILLAGE OF MILO COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES Thursday, July 6th, 2017 The special meeting of the council of the Village of Milo was held in the Milo Library on Thursday, July 6th, 2017 commencing at 7:00 pm.

ALLOON BASKET |J CATCHING AGES6-12yrs filo I tbrarp grtliftieo The following picture is part of the Ian Thomson collection that will hopefully be archived next year. This is wheat at the Winkler farm in 1942. That’s quite the storage solution for a larger than expected crop. Sagewood Round-up Summer days are here again. We just need some rain to go with it. The irrigated farmland would be doing well, but not dry land farming. The fire hazard is high so do be careful whatever you are doing. These hot days bring to mind an activity we took part in. The idea was “make your own ice cream”. Well I guess. sure we could do that! Each participant was given a small Ziploc bag. In this, we would add 1/2 cup of whipping cream, 2 TBS white sugar and a bit of vanilla. Zip the bag shut. Next we got a bag of ice. Add 2 TBS of salt to the ice and set in the bag of ice cream ingredients. Now the bag was to be kept on the move. Did not matter the direction, just keep it moving. We were doing our best and, at this point, could almost taste this treat we would have, even though it was getting mighty cold on the hands. Keep going. “no pain, no gain”, is that true? I don’t know, do you? All of a sudden, there was a scream. Edna’s ice bag had popped open! She had ice chunks and salty ice water in her hair, face and clothes. Talk about a cold shower. Edna got it! She was trying to catch the wet, slippery, wayward bag. But with each interception, it only spilled more. Those nearby were trying to help but no luck. Edna’s efforts look now as if she is a beginner in a juggling lesson. One of the “gents” was looking for anything so he could dry off his face. The Rec. girls took over drying off what they could, retrieved Edna’s ice cream packet for her, and helped her back to her room for dry clothes. She was soaked, quite cooled off, and rather disappointed. The petunias blooming nearby also had a shower of salt water but they were okay. This unexpected activity had put a damper (pun intended) on the ice cream process. At this point, we were each given a paper cup, and, after finding the would be packet of ice cream, pouring this into the cup and drinking it. Tasted good, but a little too rich for my taste. So much for the homemade ice cream. I don’t recommend that you try this. The Rec. girls say “never again”. Better go read a book. ‘ Much safer, Take care.
