Reverend Fordow Crtfuvch Once there was an old shoe cobbler who dreamt one Christmas Eve that Jesus would come to visit him the next day. The dream was so real that he was convinced it would come true. So the next morning he got up and went out and cut green boughs and decorated his little cobbler shop and got all ready for Jesus' visit. He was so sure that Jesus was going to come that he just sat down and waited for him. The hours passed and Jesus didn't come. But an old man came. He came inside for a moment to get warm out of the winter cold. As the cobbler talked with him he noticed the holes in the old man's shoes, so he reached up on the shelf and got him a new pair of shoes. He made sure they fit and that his socks were dry and sent him on his way. Still he waited. But Jesus didn't come. An old woman came. A woman who hadn't had a decent meal in two days. They sat and visited for a while, and then he prepared some food for her to eat. He gave her a nourishing meal and sent her on her way. Then he sat down to wait for Jesus. But Jesus still didn't come. Then he heard a little boy crying in front .of his shop. He went out and talked to the boy and discovered that the boy had become separated from his parents and didn't know howto get home. So the cobbler put on his coat, took the boy by the hand and led him home. When he came back-to his little shoe shop, it was almost dark and the streets were emptied of people. And then in a moment of despair he seemed to hear a voice saying,” O shoe cobbler, lift up your heart. I kept my word. Three times I knocked at your friendly door. Three times my shadow fell across your floor. I was the man with bruised feet. I was the woman you gave to eat. I was the boy on the homeless street.” Jesus had come. The cobbler just didn't realize it. One of the many wonderful stories told around Christmas to make us think about the times when, perhaps, Jesus has visited us - and I wonder what kind of reception he got Did we welcome him in, like the cobbler did, or were we too busy, too caught up in the world to recognize that the Prince of Peace was here with us? Make time for Jesus in your life. A good start would be to attend a church service Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. He is the Reason for the Season after all.

The Village of Milo will have a general meeting in the Milo Community Hall on Monday, December 12th at 7:00 PM. We will provide a brief overview of village business and welcome public input on 2017 capital projects. While we realize that December can be a busy month for many, we are hoping to get a good turnout for these meetings. As a reminder, all unpaid 2016 property taxes will be considered in arrears after December 31, 2016. While interest is incurred on current year taxes once the tax payment deadline has passed, tax arrears continue to incur interest penalty charges every three months. The Village of Arrowwood is pushing ahead with a water treatment plant upgrade, as well as a sanitary/sewer rehabilitation project. It was decided by the village council that MPE Engineering should be hired to complete this work for Arrowwood. The sanitary rehabilitation project in Milo is nearly complete and I would like to thank MPE Engineering and Shawne Excavating and Trucking Ltd. for their dedicated work. Both villages are looking at road and sidewalk projects in 2017. It is hard to believe that another year is almost past. I would like to thank all village employees for the work they do to maintain Arrowwood and Milo. Their dedicated work on general administration and regular operations of the water treatment facilities is essential. We are fortunate to have such good individuals working to provide services. Also, we can thank our village workers for hanging holiday lights in anticipation of the Christmas season. Their efforts have kept both municipalities looking neat and trim throughout the year. On behalf of the Villages of Arrowwood and Milo I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, as well as a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.

Louis Myers: - Has not attended any committee meetings since the last council meeting. - Wondered if Administration had assisted the library with applying for an insurance claim under their insurer, AMSC. The CAO responded that this was not necessary given that the library's builder has taken full responsibility for all structural issues to date. - Wondered if Administration could provide an update on the playground maintenance works as directed by council in the last minutes. The CAO responded that Don Robbie had sourced our some materials for this project which would cost approximately $280.00 from UFA in Vulcan. It is thought that the Lions Club might be willing to purchase the materials for the playground. To date Don still has some time that he can give the village and remain within budget. Given the potential liability risk, as well as the availability of good weather and Don's time, the CAO directed him to proceed with the repairs. - Wondering if Administration had updated its shared costs with Arrowwood. The CAO explained that he was working on it this week. Regular Meeting of Village of Milo Council on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Page 1 - Wondering if Administration had issued invoices for the new water and sewer services given that Mr. Mingo had asked him about it. CAO had explained that these had been issued and that he had delayed issuing them given some of the other matters that were being ironed out with Shawne Excavating. b. Barry Monner: - Attended a regional subdivision and development appeal board hearing over a Hutterite Colony near Carmangay. Large turnout and well organized arguments. - Vulcan Business Development Society and Vulcan Tourism have hired a new manager to work with both societies. Res.

Regular Meeting of Village of Milo Council on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Page 2IL O School Empowering Lifelong Learners December ISSUE 2016 CELEBRATE WITH US! Principal Message: Finding everyone’s voice Ahhh. Winter is in the air and decorations are coming out. its sure beginning to look a lot like Christmas! There has been plenty to celebrate from November including photos above: student cadets and jingle dancer with Stuart Larson during Milo School’s fabulous Remembrance Day Service, and the student leaders from Milo Schoohat Palliser's annual Discover U Leadership Conference, it was a great success, with over 475 students in attendance from grades 7-12. This year the conference theme was “StrengthIN Us”, with student leaders presenting sessions about leadership traits and how to create an impact in school communities and the world. Other highlights for me were packing the shoeboxes, drawing for winners "Caught Being Awesome" tickets, although this was in October, the Star Team pumpkin carving and homemade french-fries from our garden was outstanding, and the Arrowwood-Milo Tournie for volleyball was tricky - who do I cheer for? While November’s focus was ‘INQUIRER’ December's focus for the IB Learning Profile trait will be CARING’ and COMMUNICATION’. This will involve students taking time to think about, share and talk about what it means to be a caring person and how to best show this and communicate it. Also, every student will be involved in the Christmas Concert which will have students communicating in various forms. Please talk about these things with your child at home and ask about how they are ’being awesome’ to others through caring. Also encourage them to use their voice. Often conflict can arise simply because of a misunderstanding or someone just needs to speak up and ask "what’s wrong" or “help me understand what you are feeling or thinking" or “I'm sorry" can go a long way. Let’s work together to build student voice. Thank you for all parents who attended the IB Parent Info Night on November 23. It was a great turn out, with a potluck, parent learning sessions and a change to win a draw. If you missed this opportunity more details and pictures are included on page 3 in this update. The presentation slides are posted on our website as ‘well. For upcoming events, we will be working to involve students in more leadership roles and providing babysitting for children attending. This worked well at the IB Night. We started our first Parent Engagement Activity with a Parent Question of the Month. The questions were a Did You Know, words that best represent Milo School, and 2 areas for improvement or suggestions for growth. This yielded great results! See the attached summary of the feedback. Thank you forthose who participated. Remembrance Day Program was very well done and guest speaker Stuart Larson was very engaging and informative. Thank you to the Milo Lions Club for assisting our school in hosting this very important service. Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes are packed and ready to be delivered. We thank all of those that brought in donations, came to thé school to help pack and donated or bought baking for the bake sale. We were able to fill 46 boxes and raise $82 towards shipping the boxes. Wow! Grade 1-6 students are visiting the Operation Christmas Child warehouse and Animal Humane Society December 1 Grade 7-9 are volunteering for the day with the Salvation Army in High River on Friday Dec 2 Potato Soup Friday! Mrs. Heather made potato soup for the school and there is enough left over for one more big feed. © Finally report cards are going home for your review. Please read them with your child, or better yet, have them read them aloud to you © Talk about examples of their learning and help them set goals for further improvement and achievement. Help them aim their sights high, and aim for the stars, because they just might get there! IB learning focuses on building habits of inquiry, developing the traits of the IB Profile and deepens learning through 8 Key Concepts: Yours in learning, Ms. Rachelle Prud’Homme 1. Form 2.

They read some examples as they developed their own stories. Some students required more time than originally allotted to complete their stories. Students continued to have modelled reading for novels, and shared reading fortheir leveled novels. Most students engaged very well in discussions and predictions. Students are now learning about sign-posts, the strategy of stopping and considering the writer’s purpose when specific situations arise in the fictional stories they are reading. Our class read a blog on First Nations veterans and produced a combined script that they each practiced and read sections of during the Remembrance Day assembly last week. In the next few weeks we will begin reading examples of, and practicing expository forms of writing. This month in social studies the Grade 7 and 8’s learned about changes that led to the establishment of the Renaissance in Europe. Students researched and presented on the life and works of a famous Renaissance figure. They were encouraged to considered the difference between leaders in Renaissance times with those of leaders in modern day Canada. They are now working on combining their research on famous historical sites of Florence, Italy to make a tourist brochure. We will edit the brochure as a class. We have also begun investigate the big ideas brought forward from ancient Greece into the Renaissance world. The students asked probing and insightful questions about some of the philosophical questions being asked by people like Plato and Aristotle. The Grade 9’s did research on important national issues in preparation for a debate. They were encouraged to critically consider potential biases in the sources they were using. The issues were quite difficult and the students found the research challenging. They engaged in spirited debates which were scored by the grade 7 and 8s. Grade 9s are now investigating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and its effects on individuals and government in Canada. In the coming weeks our topics will be collective rights, Canadian immigration, and economic systems. In math we have completed properties of 2D shapes from Grade 4 to 6. Grade fours have been working on addition, subtraction and multiplication patterns within tables. Grade 5 and 6 have been focusing on relations between fractions, and working with operations with decimals. They have also been practicing the multiplication facts. Students continue to enjoy Prodigy Math for practice and I am able to locate areas that need further review with its tracking system. We had a summative quiz for Grades 5 and 6 this week. Palliser’s Student Leadership DISCOVER U Conference Nov. 9 2016 Learning with Mr. Munton (gr. 4-6 & 7-9 math) The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer as Class 456 heads towards the winter season. This month, students prepared for the Remembrance Day assembly by memorizing In Flanders Fields as well as learning about the poem’s author, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. This went along with various readings and writing exercises focused on November 11. The class began a novel study, The Tale of Despereaux where we began investigating character traits and the parts of a fictional story. We have also spent time focused on the IB Learner Profile - looking at what it means to be respectful. During our inquiry (Social/Science) time, Grade 4s and 5s have completed their unit on The First Peoples, which included a debate about where The Manitou Stone should be located: where it was originally found, back to the First Nations communities who found it, or in a museum for all to see and learn about it. It was a treat to see students take up a side and defend it. Grade 6s brainstormed ideas about what democracy is and the entire class had a lively discussion about the American election. In Math with the Grade 7 to 9 class we are beginning new units looking at fractions in Grade 7, ratios and rates in Grade 8 and powers and exponents in Grade 9. In homeroom Grades 5-9 Explore It, the students have continued working in leadership committees, and worked diligently to put on the Halloween party and haunted house. Excellent work everyone, I was very proud of how you all worked together! It was a great month of learning! -Mr. Munton feMILO; .

Curious, the coroner called in the police to ask them what had happened. The lead Detective pointed to the first body, and said ' Frenchman, 60 years old, died of heart failure while making love to his very young, very fit mistress. Hence the enormous smile.” The Coroner nodded his head knowingly. The Detective then gestured to the second body, and grinning himself, said "Scotsman, 25 years old. He won seventy five thousand dollars in the lottery, and proceeded to spend it all on whisky. Poor guy died of alcohol poisoning; so again being a good Scot, died smiling." The Coroner then pointed to the third body, and asked “What about this one? He's got the biggest smile of all." "Ah," said the Detective, "This is the most unusual one. Mr. Justin Trudeau, 44 years old, politician, struck by lightning." "Then why is Mr. Trudeau smiling so hard?" asked the puzzled coroner. "Near as we can tell, he thought he was having his photo taken." About those turkeys. It was Christmas Eve and, while at the meat counter, a woman was anxiously picking over the last few remaining turkeys in the hope of finding a large one. In desperation she called over the butcher, and asked, "Excuse me. Do these turkeys get any bigger?" "No, madam," he replied. "they're all dead." Bad day, huh? A little guy has been sitting in a bar just staring at his strange black drink for half an hour when this big troublemaking biker steps next to him, grabs his drink and gulps it down in one swig. Then the poor little guy starts crying. "Come on, man. I'm just giving you a hard time," the biker says. "I didn't think you'd CRY. I can't stand to see a man cry." "This is the worst day of my life," says the little guy between sobs."I can't do anything right. “I overslept and was late to an important meeting, so my boss fired me. When I went to the parking lot, I found my car was stolen and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home. I found my wife in bed with the gardener and my dog bit me. So, I dug up my emergency cash, came to this bar, and ordered a Black Death. I’m trying to work up the courage to put an end to my life, and then you show up and drink the damn poison." Still having a bad day? Just remember, it could be worse. This was taken from a Florida Newspaper. Read on. 1. The average cost of rehabilitating one seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild, amid cheers and applause from onlookers. One minute later, in full view of everyone, a killer whale ate them both. 2. A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current, she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door, breaking his arm in two places. Until that moment he had been happily listening to his Walkman. 3. Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits. Now, YOUR day's not so bad, is it??? The Milo Hotel and T's Saloon Off Sale I i<m< i Specials Month of December 26 oz.

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.

Pastor Mike was looking at the nativity scene outside when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from the figures. Immediately, Pastor Mike turned towards the church to call the police. But as he was about to do so, he saw little Jimmy with a red wagon, and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant, Jesus. Pastor Mike walked up to Jimmy and said, "Well, Jimmy, where did you get the little infant?" Jimmy replied, "I got him from the church." "And why did you take him?" With a sheepish smile, Jimmy said, "Well, about a week before Christmas I prayed to little Lord Jesus. I told him if he would bring me a red wagon for Christmas, I would give him a ride around the block in it." A guy bought his wife a beautiful diamond ring for Christmas. After hearing about this extravagant gift, a friend of his said, "I thought she wanted one of those sporty four-wheel-drive vehicles." "She did," he replied. "But where was I going to find a fake Jeep?"

With this year’s crazy weather, it’s hard to believe. This whole year has been a test, which only a farmer could survive with a smile and say “oh well, next year”. In my last chat from Sagewood of some Milo connections, seems there is much more to come, thanks for the nod. Living in the building is Leona Walsh, formerly from Arrowwood. Her son, Dale, is married to the former Patsy Bartsch, Allan’s sister. Fay, another sister, is wife of Beau-ford Culp and they now live in Strathmore. He is a brother of the late Verlyn Culp. Verlyn was my last living brother-in-law. He and Marie moved from Arrowwood to Tudor Manor at Okotoks until their passing. Leona Walsh does not need care, so lives on the independent side of the building, as do many others. I see her often for a chat. Some of you would know Ted and Sheila Burger. Ted was raised at Arrowwood and Sheila was formerly a Copi-thorne of the Jumping Pound district. They raised their family at Arrowwood, then moved to Strathmore. Ted helps with church service here when their church group comes. We have many churches represented with services Tuesday, 11 a.m., with a Catholic service Friday, 11 a.m. and the 7th Day Adventist groups comes on Saturday once a month with juice and homemade cookies! Some of the services have music for singing. Fay Culp often plays piano when the church group that they are with comes. Now, have I missed again on the who’s who? If there is a mistake in this info, a correction is always welcome. We had a “reading buddies” program one morning, and had it several times during the year. A group of 20 Grade 2 students and teachers comes. We meet in the com. center, where the students read to those of us who volunteer to be listeners and take a turn at reading. They also do a coloring craft, then finish off singing a song for us. They did very well. I was happy to hear Jean Umscheid is feeling better and could go back to the Peter Dawson Lodge. Good for you, Jean. Also a “welcome home” here to Grace Williams; after a recent fall and a mend, she is back next door and doing well in the wheelchair. Speaking with some who attended the ham supper at Milo Hall and they said it was very, very nice. I had thought I would try to come, but had an appointment in Calgary. We enjoyed the music Sunday afternoon when “Rosella and Friends” played and sang from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Sometimes, there are only three in the music group, or there might be eight. They always do a great job. I will leave you all with wonderful wishes, do have a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. Take care.

The Laroche-Staples family is a child in the eyes of the close knit family that is the village of Milo and we could not be happier to have been welcomed in with open arms filled with kindness, love and generosity. We initially moved here to provide a better life for the kids and we never expected our journey to turn into such an overwhelming experience. This community has welcomed our family in and has made this process easier to deal with. It is extremely difficult to swallow our pride and accept and to cbme to terms with the love and generosity that Milo has given us. To everyone in the village of Milo, from the Laroche-Staples family to you and yours, please accept our most sincere, heart filled appreciation. Thank you!" fa. . . .
