Revered Crcu/vch In a small village near China's northern border lived a father and son of simple means. By accident one day, the father's horse wandered into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone in the small village commiserated with him. "Perhaps this is a blessing," said the father. A short time later, his horse came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone in the village congratulated him. "Perhaps this will lead to misfortune," the father cautioned. His son became fond of riding the new horse, but accidentally broke his thigh bone falling from the horse. Everyone commiserated with him. "Perhaps this a blessing," said his father. A short time later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied men took up arms and fought against the warring invaders and the casualties were high; 9 out of 10 men died. The man's son could not join the fighting because he was crippled and needed care from his father, and both father and son survived. Our perspective, how we choose to see the world, can be a blessing or a misfortune for us. I went out to visit my old house today; My farm home had much to say. MY FARM I weathered eleven years, new dreams have come; I now shelter a young couple and their little son. I was built by a husband, each board placed with pride; Life and nature's storms to keep securely outside. True to God's plan, life quickly moved on; We've only memories of the one who is gone. Your memories, that's only the norm; I've now a young family to love and keep warm From The Senior Paper, Regina, SK • ! HOUSE New loves and laughter now echo my walls; Soon growing children will run in my halls. Take off your blinders, don't you see? Your plans for the future don't include me. Look to your Father in Heaven, bask in His glow; He had other plans for you when you let me go. Trust God to guide you and wipe that memory tear; Good-bye, God bless you, good-bye, good bye dear. Thank you dear house, and your memory lane; I'll think of you fondly, till I visit again.

Milo Library Year in Review 2017 This last year in the Library has been another busy one. The Library Board volunteer hours were up considerably as the policies were totally revamped over the last year and a half, and we also had a few extra events. We remain a large lender of materials—three times more than we borrow. From the system. This is a good indication of the relevancy of our collection. There was an increase in Library programming use over the year with the addition of Moms & Tots Bootcamp, the Fire Department Courses and the Computer Courses. The Library & Archives now has a Facebook page thanks to Tracy Mozill initiating and volunteering to keep it updated. Chinook Arch created a new system website that is easier to manipulate on a vast range of devices. Through funding from the Rec Board, the Archives have purchased 2 display cases that will showcase rotating displays of our items. Please check out the Drop-In and the Hall for the current displays.

Wise Words (we think?) from the Wild World of Sports Chicago Cubs outfielder Andre Dawson on being a role model: "I wan' all dem kids to do what I do, to look up to me. I wan' all the kids to copulate me." New Orleans Saint RB George Rogers when asked about the upcoming season: "I want to rush for 1,000 or 1,500 yards, whichever comes first." Upon hearing Joe Jacobi of the 'Skin's say: "I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl," Matt Millen of the Raiders said: "To win, I'd run over Joe's Mom, too." Torrin Polk, University of Houston receiver, on his coach, John Jenkins: "He treats us like men. He lets us wear earrings." Football commentator and former player Joe Theismann: "Nobody in football should be called a genius. A genius is a guy like Norman Einstein." Senior basketball player at the University of Pittsburgh: "I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes." (Now that is beautiful.) Bill Peterson, a Florida State football coach: "You guys line up alphabetically by height." And, "You guys pair up in groups of three, and then line up in a circle." Boxing promoter Dan Duva on Mike Tyson going to prison: "Why would anyone expect him to come out smarter? He went to prison for three years, not Princeton." Stu Grimson, Chicago Blackhawks left wing, explaining why he keeps a color photo of himself above his locker: "That's so when I forget how to spell my name, I can still find my clothes." Lou Duva, veteran boxing trainer, on the Spartan training regime of heavyweight Andrew Golota: "He's a guy who gets up at six o'clock in the morning, regardless of what time it is." Chuck Nevitt, North Carolina State basketball player, explaining to Coach Jim Valvano why he appeared nervous at practice: "My sister's expecting a baby, and I don't know if I'm going to be an uncle or an aunt." (I wonder if his IQ ever hit room temperature in January.) Frank Layden, Utah Jazz president, on a former player: "I told him, 'Son, what is it with you? Is it ignorance or apathy?' He said, 'Coach, I don't know and I don't care.'" Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject." In the words ofNC State great Charles Shackelford: "I can go to my left or right, I am amphibious." • • i (W The Cynical Philosopher’s Notes. I read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not to cause any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number? I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom - until they are flashing behind you. When wearing a bikini, women reveal 90% of their body. Men are so polite they only look at the covered parts. Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y? Canada and other democracies produce citizens who will cross the ocean to fight someone else's war but won't cross the street to vote. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you love someone? That’s your common sense leaving your body. My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. Huh. We'll just see about that. I think my neighbor is stalking me as she's been Googling my name on her computer. I saw it through my telescope last night. Money talks . but all mine ever says is good-bye. In a tiny voice. You're not fat, you're just easier to see. Sometimes from space. If you think nobody cares whether you're alive, try missing a couple of payments on anything. Except life insurance. I always wondered what the job application is like at Hooters. Do they just give you a bra and say, "Here,- fill this out?" I can't understand why women are OK that JC Penny has an older women’s clothing line named, "Sag Harbour." Denny’s has a slogan, "If it's your birthday, the meal is on us." If you're in Denny's and it's your birthday, your life sucks! The location of your mailbox shows you how far away from your house you can go in a robe before you start looking like a mental patient. I think it's pretty cool how Chinese people made a language entirely out of tattoos. Money can't buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch! The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie, were all single. The only married person was Otis and he stayed drunk. Now, go have a nice day, or whichever kind of day you want.February 2018 Hello Residents of Milo From the CAO’s Desk VILLAGE OF ALBERTA The transition into the Milo CAO role is going smoothly. However, we have been quite busy reconciling the 2017 year-end Operating and Capital accounts prior to the auditors arrival on March 13 and 14 2018. Our staff along with the assistance of Christopher need to be commended for their dedicated efforts. An overview of the 2017 YTD figures along with the 2018 Operating and Capital Budget will be provided by your Council in March. Needless to say, council and staff have been diligent to witness operational savings but at the same time ensure that growth and prosperity for our community prevails. 2018 will usher in a year of urban revitalization of our community main entrance and downtown core. Community growth will be realized with the promotion of unique initiatives that will be professionally marketed. Council and Administration will provide our residents with an open house to highlight this strategy going forward in the very near future. The enhancement of our Municipal web site will be modified to show case our picturesque views, urban amenities that our community offers and provides. That being said as outlined in the January newsletter quite a number of Capital projects some new and existing (carried forward) will prevail in 2018. These have not been finalized by your elected representatives and are subject to change, but will give you a good perspective on council’s commitment. > 2 Street North Street pavement completion (new) > 1 Street South Drainage Improvements (existing & ongoing) > Railway Avenue Culvert Replacement (new) > Community Marketing Growth Initiative (ongoing & new concept) > “A few Curb Stop Rehabilitation (existing & ongoing) > Road, Sidewalk Improvements (existing & ongoing) > Urban Parkway, Commercial Revitalization (new) > The replacement of the old Post Office (new) . > Water Plant and Sewage Lagoon repairs and up-grades (existing & ongoing) > Municipal Office Technology upgrades (new) > Financial Contribution of $50,000.00 to construction of New Fire Hall (new) > 14 Village Hydrants to be Flushed and Tested. Included with this commentary is a design of a pole banner that will market our local businesses and community groups, but most importantly to welcome friends and visitors to our Village. To express that un-wavering hospitality that Milo is so recognized for. These will be placed along 1st Avenue North, and South, Railway Avenue North and Centre Street (downtown). The beautification of flowers throughout will again prevail. Community involvement and assistance will be requested in the later part of March early April 2018. We have also posted and requested community participation and comments in relation to Councils new Vision, Mission and Value statement for the Village of Milo. An important ingredient towards promoting corporate strategic direction, community growth and development.

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.

KIRKS CORNER: Thank you Sarah Tiegen for working with our class on reviewing emergency procedures. They enjoyed watching you demonstrate First Aid on our class casualty (Leah Lamotte). Thank you Leah for being such a good sport. The class also liked having the opportunity to practice recovery position, testing for consciousness, and bandaging up their partners in class. What a fantastic way to review all the things we discussed in class. Thank you again Sarah for joining our class. In Math the Grade Is are recognizing how to pattern count numbers, as well as to write numbers to 100. The Grade 2s are adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers with regrouping.

All three grades continue to learn strategies for memorizing their basic facts. Our new unit of inquiry is How We Express Ourselves and the students will be looking at different genres of writing with a focus on stories for Acadian and Inuit cultures. In this unit the Grades 2-3 students will be looking at their own culture and comparing it to Inuit and Acadian cultures. We will focus on cultural diversity and. our culminating activity will be a class potluck. It was amazing seeing the students work together to build their igloo during recess. This ties in nicely with what we are learning about Inuit culture. The Grade ones are also starting their unit on How We Express Ourselves with a focus on the Science curriculum and how they uses their senses to keep themselves safe. The Grade is are also building rural and urban, communities and focusing on various types of landmarks for each.

MUNTON’S CLASS March is around the corner and it is exciting to see growth in all areas of student lives! In Junior High Language Arts, we are working our way through a new unit called “Behind the Music." The main inquiry question is, "What does it take to make it in the music industry?" Students are involved in modeled reading, shared reading and guided reading lessons. As a class we are looking at different types of media and using comprehension strategies to construct meaning from the texts. Personal reflection-and defending an opinion are also important themes in this unit. In grade 9 Social Studies, students have been learning about collective rights of First Nations peoples, official language groups and the Metis. We have also discussed how perspectives of different groups affect understandings of the past. Students in Grade 7 and 8 Social have been learning about the struggle for Acadia between the British and French during the 1700s. Students were given the task of researching and reporting about the Great Deportation of Acadians that began in 1755. In Math, grade 7 students have been adding and subtracting fractions that have the same denominator. Grade 8s have been learning about how to calculate volumes of various three dimensional objects, including cylinders. Grade 9s havej been learning about exponent laws and order of operations. In 4-5-6 elementary Math, the main focus has been fractions. This has included calculating equivalent tractions, ordering fractions from least value to greatest vdlue and in grade 6 the use of mixed numbers and improper fractions. In Physical Education, we are wrapping up our basketball unit and moving into curling the week of March 5 to 8. Students will be expected to have CLEAN, indoQr footwear they can change into at the curling club. Haye a great month! „ .

In Language Arts, we are continuing to focus on our ‘letter of the week' activities and Handwriting Without Tears program. Students are also continuing to attend Early Literacy with Mrs. Thompson once a week. Most recently they have been working on beginning sounds, as well as being able to identify parts of a book and parts of a story. In math, we are focusing on identifying, reproducing, extending and creating two and three element patterns. Students have been using IXL and various manipulatives to create different patterns (AB, ABC, AAB, ABB) and show their knowledge. We had A LOT of fun skating for phys.ed last month and will now return back to our throwing/catching/kicking unit. A big THANK YOU to all of the parents and family members who came skating with us! MILO REWARDS GOOD ATTENDANCE! REAP 6EL0W TO FIND OUT WHY - AND KEEP GOING TO SEE WHAT OUR FIRST WINNER RECEIVED!!! 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The lowest performing students around the world miss more school than their academically successful schoolmates. School attendance is critical to student's academic success but more importantly research shows that low performance at school, generally leads to a more difficult life with less access to good jobs. School absenteeism from a young age has significant negative consequences that can last a lifetime. Research indicates that absenteeism in kindergarten is associated with negative grade one outcomes, such as; greater absenteeism in the future, as well as, lower student achievement in math, reading and general knowledge. Any student who misses a school day misses an opportunity to learn. Source: http://www.sncdsb.on.ca/blog/5-things-you-must-know- about-school-attendance According to Charity Intelligence, if a student misses 2 days of school each month from grade 1 through grade 9, by grade 10 that student will have missed an entire year of school. MILO Literacy Pay Reading We were pleased to have community members come to read with us, and so many students reading together. |Pqge 5 Empowering Lifelong Learners I March • Milo School • www. miloschool.ca MILO POLS FILIP TRIPS! Our students had a wonderful day on our annual Castle Mountain ski trip on Friday February 2. We were able to send the students on this trip for free this year due to the generosity of the Milo Rec. Board (who paid for our “sweet ride”), the community of Milo, Siksika Board of Education, and the hard work of our parent council. What amazing weather we had at the start of the day, then how quickly it turned to snowy with white out ski conditions. We are proud of the accomplishments the students made that day. It is fun to watch how students gained ski skills and become more confident on the hill. We were so pleased to have so many parents join us for the day, thank you so much for joining us. Way to go Milo Students! ATTENDANCE^ CONGRATULATIONS MATTERS *J«b» At Milo Community School we understand the importance of regular attendance. In addition to planned events, which take us out of the classroom (like our field trips), we are also faced with unexpected challenges, as this past winter has reminded far too often! We are grateful to Mr. Sitting Eagle, our FNMI Liaison, for getting us set up with Kids Up Front Calgary (which started as a grassroots charity initiative in Calgary in 2000 when local businessman John Dalziel wondered how unused tickets at the Saddledome could be put to use). We decided to start using these tickets as an attendance initiative - names of students with great attendance were put into a draw and Dreus was our first winner (lucky for his dad Drake!). Great job to Dreus for having great attendance, but also Drake and Mary for supporting your child in being at school - we look forward to our next draw (with a fresh start after Dreus' game)! |Page 6 i^MILO {mpowenng Lifelong Leamsn March • Milo School • www. miloschool.ca BE BRAVE - PINK SHIRT PAY - HOCKEY CAME We had a wonderful time recognizing Pink Shirt Day a day early with thousands of others at the Hitmen Game at the Saddledome today! Mrs. Kirk ran into a former student who arranged an extra special welcome for us on the Jumbotron - so cool! Please remember to have a conversation with your child about bullying and making positive choices, our IB Learner Profile really supports these messages, this is a great time to reflect but, as one of our speakers. Tad Milmine reminded us, we need to practice these messages throughout the year. Sadly, the Hitmen lost the game but it was an amazing day and our students represented us well!

We are really going to miss her humour and good-natured comments and wishes. Rest peacefully, Nancy. Time again for our get-together. Into February now, with a wee bit added to the daylight hours, just to show you spring is coming. As for those furry creatures who are predicting the length of winter to spring. Well, I’m not sure; I’ll sit on the fence for that one. Like you, I’ll wait for spring to come. It’s time you had a view of our dining room here on the 2nd floor. A humourous story from Dawson was printed in the Can Opener when I lived there, which most of you would have read; about a delayed breakfast. So - back to our dining room. There are twelve tables, three rows of four, with room to seat four of us at each table; not every table is full. Serving breakfast starts about 8:30. If you like to go sooner and have that morning jolt of caffeine, just be seated and the servers will come with the “fluid wagon”. Your choice - tea, coffee, milk, hot or cold water, with assorted juices. Breakfast is served as you come, with refills if you like, or whatever, from that “fluid wagon” again. You can start with a hot cereal, oatmeal one day, cream of wheat next day,or several kinds of cold (Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Bran Flakes, and Special K), milk, brown sugar. Other sugars, sweeteners and creamers are on the table - help yourself. Then toast, muffins, or an egg in some form (boiled, poached, fried, or scrambled), but always hard cooked - that is the law for our safety. I’d like to “live dangerously” some time, go to one of those place downtown who serve breakfast all day, and have soft cooked eggs. Sounds good to me! An assortment of jams/jelly, honey and peanut butter are on each table; again, help yourself. A nurse brings some of the meds needed, pills, etc. to the tables. Others done in your room. The noon meal, served about 12.30, starts with our choice of the fluids. Then soup, various kinds, none of them are like “mother made”. We did offer some recipes to our chef. “No, I have these to be followed.”, was the answer. You can bypass soup and have a main course - a burger, chicken fingers, sandwich, etc. all served with salad. Then a dessert which also varies - jello, puddings or cake. Our evening meal, served about 5:30, starts with fluids, soup, or salad. Then a main course which varies - chicken, fish, pork, beef stew, ribs, roast beef, sausage and many others. These are served with potato, rice, or pasta and a vegetable - cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, peas, carrots, green beans, squash or sweet potato (yams) are some. Then a dessert of pudding, fruit, and pie once or twice a week. But then again, the pie is not like “mother makes”, and a tiny piece. I feel like we have way too much pastry. This is on meat pies, quiche, and tarts too which we often have. However that is
