Revered ^ordouv Crai/vc-h I have been housecleaning lately and have thrown out 10+ years of sermons - each one gem - but of what use are they after having been delivered? But I did find some odds and ends that can be recycled and this is one. The writer is talking about becoming an 'elder' in the congregation and has certain prayers about that eventuality. 1. I pray that I will not feel entitled because I am a key financial supporter in the church. This attitude means I consider the money my money rather than God's money. That means I am giving with a begrudging heart. 2. I pray that I will not say "I’ve done my time' in the church. Ministry through the local church is not doing your time, like serving a prison sentence. It is an outpouring of joy and thanksgiving to God. I love those churches where senior adults are the most represented among the nursery workers. I need to be among them. 3. I pray I will not be more enthused about recreational trips than ministry and service. There is nothing wrong with me getting on a bus and going to Calgary or Lethbridge. But there is something wrong when that is my dominant involvement in ministry in the church. 4. I pray I will not be more concerned about my preferences than serving others. This is where the music is too ioud, the hymns weren't quite right, the service was too long/too short. I failed to notice the others in the congregation that were singing with gusto, those that were wrapped up in the service, I was more concerned with my preferences than seeing others worship God. 5. I pray I will not have a critical spirit. I 'pray that I will not become a perpetuaTcritic. I don't want to grow old and cranky. I want to grow old and sanctified. Now that I am a senior adult in my own right, I need to make certain I am not a stumbling block or a hindrance to health and growth in my church. May the Lord grant me wisdom and service ali the days of my life, including my senior years. September Services: Sunday 10th - 9:00 am Sunday 24th - 9:00 am see you tyv C-hurch!

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.

MILO LIBRARY Summer Reading Program Wrap-up Wow! Time sure does fly when you’re having fun! The second half of this year’s program was full of crafts, games, and laughs all around. One of the more interesting challenges that the kids participated in was called “The Beaver Dam Challenge”. The group had ten minutes to construct a “beaver dam” on a piece of folded tin foil. The tin foil acted as the “river”. Materials used for construction of the dam included sticks, clay, dirt, and rocks. Once it was completed, water was poured into the river to test how durable the dam was. The result was quite impressive. The only water that leaked through was due to the fact that the walls of the river were not high enough. The finished product can be seen in the pictures below. One of the favourite crafts we made were called “Krazy Kazoos”. This craft consisted of a toilet paper roll with a piece of wax paper secured over one end with a rubber band. Whoever was playing the kazoo would hum into the uncovered end to play music. I’m sure the parents enjoyed this craft as much as the kids did. The results of this craft can be seen in the picture to the left. “Camouflage” was a game that was played in the park. One person is “it”, everyone else hides. To start, the “it” person counts down from 30, and everyone hides somewhere. After this time, the “it” person tries to find everyone. The catch is that the “it” person cannot move, they must stay in the same spot. When they cannot see anyone, the “it” person then closes their eyes, holds out their hands and calls out “Food and Water for __” seconds. They can choose if if s 15 seconds, 10 seconds, etc. During this time, everyone hiding MUST come and tap the “it” persons hands, and hide again. If they don’t, they are out. The idea with this game is, the smaller the time frame for “Food and Water” is, the quicker you have to be to find a good hiding place. To sum up, this year’s program was quite eventful. Attendance was steady. Every week, there were new kids signing up, which was great to see. The kids had lots of fun this summer, and I hope that they decide to return for next year’s program.

This program was geared towards kids ages 10-14. It ran on Thursday afternoons from 2-4 pm. The idea behind this program was to give kids who were too old for the Summer Reading Program, a time to come and participate in fun games and challenges with their peers. One of the more popular activities was called “Water Balloon Volleyball”. All of the participants are split up into pairs, and each pair is given a beach towel. They are then given a water balloon, and using their beach towel, they have to launch the water balloon over the net to the other team. Every time the water balloon touches the ground and either does or doesn’t break, the team that threw it gets a point. The results can be seen in these pictures. A second activity that was quite entertaining was called “Slimeball”. Plastic cups were set up in the sand, and the participants had to throw plastic balls that were half filled with solid silly putty into the cups. Every time the participant didn’t get the ball into the cup, they could take one step forward until they did get it in. Since the weight in these “slime balls” isn’t evenly distributed, accurately aiming them wasn’t always successful. This led to a few frustrations, as the kids couldn’t understand why they weren’t able to hit the cups. The pictures below showcase “Slimeball”. Overall, the activities we participated in were quite fun, and the kids enjoyed themselves. Attendance for the program was consistent. I hope that there will be increased interest in the program next year. Have a great rest of your summer! Nadine Bertschy SATURDAY, SEP 30/17 6:00 - 9:00 PM Pie Social .ale Dinner included.

The staff at Milo are excited for school to resume on September 5, where we will see those students who are returning to us, as well meet the new students who are joining us this year. I am Kerry Aiken, as the new Principal of Milo School, I am looking forward to meeting everyone and becoming a part of the community. I am not a stranger to Southern Alberta as I earned both my undergraduate and my master’s degrees frQm the University of Lethbridge. However, for the last 13 years I have lived in my hometown, Grande Cache, Alberta, where I taught (mostly) Grade 7, with my last four years also serving as Vice Principal. My husband and I are excited for the move, and I am looking forward to the education my son Elazer will receive as a Grade 4 student at Milo ComrfTunity School! Our school mission is “Empowering Lifelong Learners”. We believe in family values, setting high expectations, and fostering student leadership. As a learning community, we value student diversity, active inquiry, and reflective practices. We look forward to working with our students to discover their unique potential as human beings. As we facilitate our students’ journey to become globally minded citizens, we understand that strong partnerships with the parents and guardians of our students is vital; we look forward to working together to support our children. In addition to myself, the new Principal, we are excited to welcome another new staff member, Miss. Emma Kerschbaum to our staff. Miss.Kerschbaum will be teaching Grades 4-6, all subjects except Math, as well as Science for Grades 7-9. We are also pleased to welcome back the following staff: -> Mrs. Bernadette Kirk, who will once again be teaching Grades 1-3; -> Mr. Jared Munton, who is joining us for the second year, teaching Grades 7-9 all subjects except Science and Math to students in Grades 4-6; —> Miss Quincy Smith returns as the Kindergarten teacher; —> Mrs. Ruthann Sherstabetoff is returning as the Librarian for our Learning Commons, as well offering educational assistance; —> Mrs. Penny Heather is returning as an Educational Assistant in Grades 1-3; —> Mrs. Marianne Armstrong returns as an Educational Assistant in Grades 4-6; —» Mrs. Frances Thompson will also be back to offer various school supports. Milo Community School As we are in our third year as an International Baccalaureate Candidate School, we are fully implementing the Programme of Inquiry in Grades 1-6. IB teachers do extensive and detailed planning to offer students a transdisciplinary education - this means that teachers translate the Program of Studies (what students in Alberta must learn) into meaningful inquiry projects, usually combining more than one subject. Students learn to be action minded as they focus on global awareness, critical and creative thinking, reflection, and collaboration while embodying the IB learner profile. Please come to visit us at the school if you would like more information! We encourage you to stay informed and involved throughout the school year while finding ways to support and continue learning at home. Here are a few ways that you can: Stay informed - through our School Handbook, visiting our school website, reading the monthly news updates (sent home in print and posted on our website), student agendas, and other notices home. Stay involved - through volunteering for school snacks, hot lunches, reading and classroom support, attending monthly Parent Council meetings (every third Tuesday at 6:30 unless stated otherwise), attending school events, attending student - led teacher parent conference, and talking to your child about their learning at home. Please remember that we are here to support you and your child(ren), if you have a concern please contact your child’s homeroom teacher to clarify any issues you may have. If we don’t know support is needed we can’t help. Here are some highlights from our programming this year: • The IB Programme will continue to be implemented through teaching IB attitudes, the learner profile, and through units of inquiry in science and social classes. There will be 6 units of inquiry for the year and each will take 4-6 weeks. • We are pleased to offer French Language Learning for all students in Grades 1-9 to support the IB Learner Profile of being a good communicator. • We are implementing a new School Nutrition Program, the purpose being success for all students and to ensure that students, teachers, parents, and community members have the opportunity to learn more about the importance of choosing and preparing healthy foods and access to Alberta’s food resources. We will send more home about this as we hear more. • Grade 4 - 9 options will be offered every second week, we will send more information home as classes are finalized. • We will continue the Fruit Bowls in classrooms, leave a fruit take a fruit as a snack. Please note, in order to support our students we will contact home if a student frequently comes to school without a lunch. • Assemblies will be student led and occur on the first Wednesday of each month at 9:00 am, please join us! We look forward to watching our students embody this year’s theme, “CREATE YOUR WORLD” We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves. ~ .Buddha Yours in Learning, Mrs. Kerry Aiken Principal, Milo Community SchoolMilo and District Agricultural Society Fall Fair Raffle Tickets On sale now for $1.00 each.

Regular Meeting of Village of Milo Council on Tuesday, July 18th, 2017 Page 1 Dear Residents & Ratepayers, VILLAGE OF MILO ALBERTA August 30, 2017 The Milo budget summary and tax notice letter will be provided in next month’s Can Opener, copies of which will be included with all tax notices when those are issued. As you are aware, the village offices are now more or less moved. There remain files to organize as we get settled into the new space. We had a public hearing in the Milo office for the new land use bylaw in August. There was a special meeting of council and a village general meeting in the Arrowwood Office as well. The Village General Meeting in Arrowwood covered the 2017 Municipal Election, the significant changes being made to the Municipal Government Act of Alberta (the legislation governing municipalities), as well as current village business. The intention of this meeting was to provide information to ratepayers in time for the fall election, and especially for those who might be interested in serving on the village council. I am planning to have a Village General Meeting in Milo prior to Nomination Day. As with Arrowwood, this meeting will provide an overview of the 2017 election process, changes to the Municipal Government Act, and current village business. Notice will be issued as soon as a date is settled upon. At their last meetings, the village councils appointed the Returning Officers for the municipal election. In Arrowwood, Wendy Williams has agreed to undertake this responsibility. In Milo, we are once again fortunate to have Barb Godkin serve in this capacity. The Returning Officers will be available in the Village Office on Nomination Day? as well as during any Advance Polling. On Election Day, all voting will take place at the community halls in keeping with all other elections. _ Nomination Day is Monday, September 18, 2017, from 10 AM until Noon in the municipal offices. Election Day is Monday, October 16, 2017, in the community halls, and the hours of polling will be posted in advance. We will also post notifications regarding requests for special ballots and advance polls. Information will be provided on our websites this next week. The signs are up on the new offices! , Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative Officer Three Wildly Creative Days (Sevwwrwt AJbertaCu It ure Day s e September 29 - October 1,2017 Discover • Experience • Celebrate Milo's Mural - Make Your Mark Saturday September 30th 3:00-5:30pm Milo Skating Rink Friends of Milo Municipal Library Society will be celebrating Alberta Culture Days with the creation of a mural that will be erected onto the outside wall of the new Village Office.

Canadian Coinage Design of 1939 In commemoration of the visit of their Majesties, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, to our Dominion of Canada in May and June, 1939, the Royal Canadian Mint was called upon to strike silver dollars. In this connection, the first meeting of the Commemorative Sub-committee was held in the office of the Chairman, Dr. W. C. Clark, Deputy Minister of Finance, on Saturday, the 19th November, 1938, for the purpose of selecting the most suitable design. Mr. Emanuel Hahn, R.C.A., S.S.C., a distinguished Canadian artist and sculptor, carried out the wishes of the Commemorative Sub-committee in designing and modeling the reverse of the silver dollar. The design shows the Centre Block and Peace Tower of the Parliament Buildings at Ottawa with the inscription at the top "FIDE SUORUM REGNAT" (The King reigns on the loyalty of His People). Canadian Coinage Design of 1949 The minting of a "New" silver dollar coin commemorated the outstanding event of the entry of Newfoundland into Confederation. Distribution began on June 24, 1949. The first coins going to the people of the newly admitted Province of Newfoundland. i The Master die was cut by hand directly in the steel by the Mint engraver, Thomas Shingles. The Design depicts a three-masted vessel under full sail, representing John Cabot's ship the "Matthew" with the motto "Floreat Terra Nova" -which means may Newfoundland flourish.

Computer Classes at Milo Library Introduction to iPads This class is taught in a friendly relaxed atmosphere and the facilitator will be open to questions whenever need arises. Once the learner knows the basics of how the iPad works, we will go into the basic operations of how to navigate and how to download apps. This course is designed to help with the comfort of using your tablet (iPad) and give the confidence to be able to use it as a tool or simply have fun.

The common factor among all learners is the desire to learn a new skill and keep up with the new generation of technology. This program has been successful as we have had many repeat learners. Some of the benefits realized by the learners is the ability to stay connected with their children and grandchildren through their newly learned skills and a renewed self-confidence. Many learners come to the first class thinking they will never be capable of learning the skills required to create a document, send an email or browse the web. But within a few weeks they are doing all of those things and more.

I don't have a Canadian joke. Sorry. *** The tragedy of Canadian is that we could've had the British culture, the French food and the American technology, but they got the American culture, the British food and the French financed technolo­gy (Bombardier). *** Several years ago Canadians got annoyed that they didn't have a national slogan comparable to "As American as Apple pie." A nationwide contest was held and after significant debate there winner was announced, representing everything great about Cana­dian national identity and culture: "As Canadian as reasonable under the circumstances." *** The Globe and Mail had a contest” Fill in the blank: "A Canadian is." The winning answer was, ".someone who says thank you to a bank machine." *** * What does America have that Canada does not? Good Neigh­bours. *** When do Canadians get out of the lake? When it freezes over. **♦ A seal walks into a bar. The bartender looks up and asks him what he would like to drink. The seal replies "Anything but a Canadian club." *** A meeting between the Prime Minister and the U.S. President was scheduled to happen in Kitchener, Ontario. On a local first grade the teacher was preparing the students to give a reception to the Ameri­can president, scheduled to visit the class. So, the teacher asks: “Ok, children. what should you say when the president arrives?” The children yell out “Welcome Mr. President of a friend country!’’ Timmy puts up his hand, and says ‘‘Excuse me, but it's not a 'friend' country. It's a ‘brother’ country. The teacher replies “Oh, that's nice, Timmy. But it is ok just to say ‘friend’ country.’’ “No," says Timmy, it is not ‘friend’, it is ‘brother’!” Confused now, the teacher says "Uh,. why is it so important that America is a "brother" country?” Timmy smiles, and says “Because you can choose who is your friend.” *** The United Nations wanted to survey the international solidarity among North & South Americans. To do so they decided to analyze the answers to a simple standardized question: "Please, what is your opinion about the scarcity of high quality food in the rest of world?” It was a failure: • In Argentina nobody knew what "please" was. • In Cuba nobody knew what "opinion" was. • In Canada nobody knew what "scarcity” was. • In Haiti nobody knew what "high quality food" was. • In the US nobody knew what "rest of the world" was, *** Learn French? Once you speak the international language of business, science, aviation, and politics it is hard to bother picking up a second one. *** A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the Trans-Canada, just out­side of Ottawa. Nothing is moving east or west. Suddenly a man knocks on his window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened? What's the hold up?" "ISIS terrorists have kidnapped Prime Minister Trudeau. They are demanding a $100 million ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse Justin with gasoline and set him on fire. We are going from car to car, taking up a collection." The driver asks, "On average how much is everyone giving?" "About a gallon." *** *** Best clues that indicate you are a true Canadian: • You dismiss all beers under 6% as "for children and the elderly." • You know Casey and Finnegan are NOT a Celtic rock band or imported beer. • You pity people who haven't tasted a "beavertail". • You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers. • You have a child in grade 12, not the 12th grade. • You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada, and make a mental note not to talk about it the next day. • You actually watch The Gemini Awards, The Genie Awards, and The Juno Awards. You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars and drink pop, not soda. • Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway. • Like any international assassin/terrorist/spy in the world, you possess a Canadian passport. • You talk about the weather with strangers. • You have black, red, green, and maybe even yellow col­ored handles on your Robertson screwdrivers, and know which one is the big size. • You check the small print in the newspaper sports section to see where the Canadians finished. • You turn on the Grammy Awards, don't know the songs, don’t care for the music, but take a certain personal pride that Drake, The Weeknd, Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, Celine Dion are all part of the entertainment. And this is years after The Band, Burton Cummings, Bachman Turner Overdrive, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Lightfoot, the late Leonard Cohen and Rush made their marks. • You can explain that a Loonie is a dollar and a Toonie is two bucks and a Penny is a gold medal winning swimmer. • You know that Bobby Orr is from Parry Sound, and Steve Nash is from Victoria, and Wayne Gretzky is from Brant­ford and Mario Lemieux is from Montreal and Sidney Cros­by is from Cole Harbour, N.S. - and none of them live in Canada anymore. • Finally, as we Canadians love to say, You’re welcome.

Box 93, Vulcan, AB T0L2B0 Sagewood Round-up Time again for our monthly visit. Was nice to be in Milo again as we gathered to say goodbye and lives well lived to Harold Northcott and Lorraine Stumpf, who spent most of their lives in the area. Their walk on this earth completed. We never know if the walk will be short or long, the road rough with many bumps, twists and turns, or smooth and carefree. One thing for sure, we will all come to that end of the road, our walk finished., for others to take over on their walk of life. There was a little morning happen­ing I wanted to tell you about. We have breakfast at 9:00 a.m., yes 9AM. The day staff come in at 7:00 a.m.; that gives them two hours to get 30 odd, more or less, residents up and ready. (The night staff get me up and ready at 6:00 a.m.) They have the residents all bright and shining into the dining room for breakfast. So we were all there having coffee, or what you would like, and soon breakfast would be served, my favourite meal at Sagewood. All of a sudden, the servers, nurse, and all those helpers on site were dashing to­wards the kitchen. What in the world was happening? Well, we didn’t have too long to wonder.- a cloud of smoke was rising in the kitchen. Those who were in that dash to the kitchen were all of a sudden armed with towels (where they found them so quickly, I don’t know). They were all waving the towels wildly in an attempt to stop the smoke from reaching the smoke detector. However, their efforts were in vain, the detector gave out a scream, then the fire alarm was set off too. A fellow sitting at my table was sure Jack in the table next had caused the problem. Jack, in turn, was telling Lester he was the problem making all that noise. Neither one understood what was happening. But it gave them a chance to argue which they do frequently. The fire had been put out, but the firemen had to come and inspect the scene. I was thinking that, if there had been any little boys there watching, they would have been thrilled to see the two firemen all wearing their fire fighting gear. I’m afraid all of those in here who were little boys are now grumpy old men who were annoyed at the delay in breakfast. An I, well I was glad the firemen had come. Was good to know that they would be there for us if we needed them. Lester and Jack who were arguing? They are now quiet. They too have come to the end of their walk of life. We do miss them. Looks like harvest has started in much of your area, though not a great crop. Hope it will go OK for you, and do be careful. See you around, Nancy Bertschy ■ Announcements n. =* Condolences • Our sincere sympathies are extended to Lynne Sharp and family and their many friends in the community on the loss of Bill August 24. • The community was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Dale Cote in August. Condolences to his friends and family. »'■.—. IS How time Flies! Jfappy Birthday Jeanl From Larry (Umscheid) ■ *. . Thank You On behalf of Harold Northcott's family, we are most grateful to everyone for all of the support, kind words, visits, cards and help from the Milo community. Harold and Janetta thrived on being part of the Milo community, and the community has helped them in more ways than can be described. Everything from snow clearing to meals and care packages, to the First Responders and Home Care, to carrying groceries to the car and all the folks who came out for birthday and anniversary parties and friends who just stopped in to visit, it all made them feel so loved and cared for. This is a huge part of what enabled them to live independently on the farm to the ages of 97 and 94. And celebrating their 74th anniversary and then their 96th and 99th birthdays was made so very special by the family and friends who joined them. There were so very many large and small caring gestures - too many to name but all appreciated. Knowing they could call anyone at any time for help was always a comfort to them and to the family. With Harold's recent passing, we'd like to thank everyone who attended the service, sent cards, flowers, food for the luncheon, memorial donations, and helped in so many other ways. We'd especially like to thank the Milo Lions Club, the Community Hall Group, the Seniors Drop-In Centre, the cemetery maintenance group, and everyone who helped with the service itself. We also acknowledge with gratitude the wonderful staff at Father Lacombe Care Centre in Calgary - their level of care and concern and personal regard for both Harold and Janetta has been excellent. The bonds of this community are so strong and we have always been proud to call Milo home. Thank you so much! Janetta and family. k-. Get Well Get well wishes go out to John I vers and Don and Marie Robbie. Announcements U 4 Thank You How do we begin to thank everyone for all you did for Mom and our family? To: Burt, Victor, Louis M., Kevin B. 8s family, Linda, Kay, Doug M., Charity, the Milo Fire Dept & Vulcan Home Care - You all helped her stay just where she wanted to be for a long as possible, and for that we are forever grateful. Thanks to everyone for the cards, meaningful messages of condolence, calls, flowers, hugs 85 “air” hugs and the donations made in her memory - each one made a difficult time more bearable. Thanks to everyone who made her service special, from those who were able to share the day with us, the pallbearers and honorary pallbearers, Rev. Cranch, David Deitz, Larry Vannatta, the ladies who prepared and served the delicious luncheon, and the Milo Lions Club - we can’t thank you enough. To Pat and Jan of the Vulcan funeral Home - thank you for your professional yet very personal care. Thank you one and all. Most Sincerely, The Stumpf Family . . If I*1 4 Thank You Milo and District Fire Association would like to thank the families of Grant Lahd, Jean Thomson, Harold Northcott and Lorraine Stumpf for naming our fire department as a donee for memorial donations. Families will be notified of all the donations soon. We hope to do something very special with the funds and the notices for the families. We need to make these decisions as a group so will have to wait until after harvest. Thanks also to the many people who have generously donated. We are not a registered charity and tax receipts will be issued in partnership with our municipality this fall. Barb Godkin Secretary-Treasurer, Milo Fire . . rf JJ . . Thank You The Milo and District Fire Association would like to thank everyone that took time to attend the Proposed New Fire Hall public consultation and for the letters of support that followed after. The Fire Association is pursuing some Grants as we move forward. Our Fire Association is very involved in the community and surrounding area, maybe more so that some residents realize. So here is a little information for everyone: We have a 30 member volunteer roster with Fire Fighters, EMR's, EMT's, EMT-P and an RN. Last year the hours of calls and practices that members attended were over 475.
