This item was tabled to allow the Lions Club an opportunity to discuss this matter and for Administration to research possible ways of implementing a reservation clause to the policy. The Village of Milo agreed to store old burial records in the office and will also now be responsible for the administrative duties of the Milo East Cemetery. Councillor Edwards reported that the Vulcan Business Development Society will be forwarding their recently updated By Laws to the Village for approval. Councillor Phillips advised Council that the Vulcan & District EMS and employees’ Union are now going to mediation to settle the bargaining dispute. Council was advised that a meeting with UMA Engineering, Arrowwood, Vulcan County and Milo has been set for June 22, 2007 to discuss the proposed feasibility study into a Regional Water Line. Dave McIntyre, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation will be in attendance to discuss the application process for having this study funded by the Government and offer his insight into the scope of the proposal and if it could qualify for government funding. Mayor Vooys, Councillor Edwards and Administrator Deitz will attend a meeting on June 26, 2007 with Vulcan County representatives to review the Annexation Report that ORRSC has prepared. Council passed By Law #351 to authorize the rates of taxation imposed for all purposes for the year 2007. The 2007 mill rates are 17.807 for residential / farm properties and 21.651 for commercial properties and linear assessments. Council approved Rohl Geomatic and Axia Supernet’s request to lay a new fibre optic cable for Supernet access for the library in the alleyway beside the Fire Hall / Town Shop and west down the alley to the new Library building. The Provincial Civic Election date is October 15, 2007 and the Nomination day for the election will be on September 17, 2007 between the hours of 9 a.m. and Noon. Candidate information packages will be available in mid August for anyone interested in putting their names forward for a Council position. Council appointed Ginger Deitz as the Returning Officer for the joint election for the Village of Milo and Palliser Regional Division on October 15, 2007 in Milo. Council also passed By Law #352, which authorizes the requirement for a $100.00 deposit for any person who runs as a candidate in the 2007 election, and all future elections, in the Village of Milo. This deposit will be refunded in full to the successful candidate(s) following the final results of the election.

The lower the value, the brighter the object, so magnitude -4 is brighter than magnitude 0, which is in turn brighter than magnitude +4. The scale is logarithmic, and a difference of 5 magnitudes means a brightness difference of exactly 100 times. Examples of magnitude values for well-known objects include Sun (-26.7), Full Moon (-12.7), Venus at brightest (-4.4), Sirius - brightest star (-1.44), Limit of human eye (+6), Limit of 10x50 binoculars (+9), Limit of Hubble telescope (+30). Alt: (Altitude) The angle of a celestial object measured upwards from the observer's horizon. Thus, an object on the horizon has an altitude of 0° and one directly overhead has an altitude of 90°. Az: (Azimuth) This is the direction of a celestial object expressed in these charts as the nearest compass direction.

This includes all open fires, fire pits, burning barrels and recreational fires. Campfires are not allowed at any campground. The only exception is fires which are contained in cooking and heating appliances fuelled by fluids or gases. Any fire permits issued are now void and no new fire permits will be issued until the ban is lifted. Any outdoor fires presently burning, whether set under the authority of a Fire Permit or not, are to be extinguished immediately. A person who sets a fire not allowed under this ban will be responsible for the costs of extinguishing the fire and may be charged under the Forest and Prairie Protection Act. This does not apply to the Town of Vulcan and the Villages of Arrowwood, Carmangay, Champion, Lomond and Milo. Please contact those municipalities for their updated information.

Although we would have liked to have upgraded ALL the Village sidewalks, we have tried to address the worst of the repairs and remain within our budget. The waste concrete will be cleaned up at the end of the project and ground repairs also be started at that time. What’s in YOUR garbage? It’s mowing and pruning season againl We would ask that you bag your clippings SEPARATE from your regular garbage, and to keep the weight to a maximum of 20 kg per bag. Larger pieces of deadwoou and tree clippings should be taken by residents DIRECTLY to the waste transfer station when possible. ThanksI Water Conservation Tip of the Month Water your lawns and gardens in the early morning or later in the evening for maximum absorption. Watering during the heat of the day results in a significant loss of water to evaporation and is an unnecessary burden on our treatment plant operations. ################################################### After Thoughts. We are reviewing our current Policy for the Milo East Cemetery. Please take the time to complete the quick questionnaire in this month’s Can Opener and mail or drop off at the Village Office. Your input will help us to decide if any changes to the policy regarding reservation of burial plots needs to be made.

Two visiting girls, Ciara Campbell, my niece from Vancouver and Zahra Bell, Louis and Denise Myers’s granddaughter from Calgary found a dirty way to cool off. My sister, Corinne and her daughter, Ciara, enjoyed an exciting and warm week’s vacation in Milo. Their last year’s visit was over populated with mosquitoes but Corinne was still anxious to return again, fortunately, far less bites this year. Corinne and I are very thankful to Lewis and Denise for bringing their granddaughter from Calgary for Ciara’s playmate; Jerry and Dawn Gautreau’s friendly outdoor B.B.Q.; Don at Summit Gardens Honey Farms for his interesting private tour; Frances Thompson for taking the kids and her horseback riding; Brigitte Moore for accompanying us to the Country Farmhouse for a peaceful and quite lunch while the kids were cooling off; Charity and Zack Lewis for their part in entertaining; Lorraine Stumpf s rice krispie squares were a big hit; Nancy and Jr. for providing the lovely and enormous steaks and Jean Umschied for her contribution of wine for my B.B.Q. Corinne was overwhelmed with Milo’s friendly hospitality and I’m looking forward to, and hoping for, another visit from her again next year. Thanks to everyone for their assistance and warm welcome towards making Corinne’s visit an enjoyable one.

Apples: Refrigerated apples last up to 10 times longer than those left at room temperature. To prevent apples from speeding up the ripening process of other items in your produce drawer, store them in a plastic or brown paper bag. Asparagus: Always store uncooked asparagus in the refrigerator, upright in a container of water (about 1" - 2"). For tender asparagus, gently bend a spear until it breaks. The natural breaking point should separate the tender spear from the tough end. Dispose of the end pieces and steam to perfection! Cabbage: Instead of blanching cabbage leaves to wilt them for stuffing, simply leave the whole head in the freezer overnight. Celery: Wrap celery in aluminum foil when putting in the refrigerator, and it will keep for weeks. Aluminum foil wrapped cheese also keeps much longer. Chopped Onions & Green Peppers: You can buy frozen chopped onion or green peppers for a quick recipe shortcut, or since they freeze so well, chop a whole bunch at once and freeze them in single servings. Chopping Onions & Grating Horseradish: Hate how your eyes water? Tear off a section of a slice of bread (I prefer to use the heel, as I don't eat it) and place it between your lips, allowing it to protrude from your mouth while cutting. Citrus Fruit Juice: To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, limes and oranges, bring them to room temperature and roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing. Another method is to microwave fruit on high for 30 seconds, let stand a couple of minutes before cutting and squeezing them. Citrus Zest: Before you squeeze juice from a lemon, grate off the rind into a freezer bag and freeze. Then when a recipe calls for lemon zest or rind, just pull it from the freezer. Sprinkle a little sugar over citrus zest or fresh ginger before chopping. The sugar not only dissolves and absorbs the juices but also helps spread the flavor. Corn: When boiling com, cooking for 3 minutes is all that's necessary; any more time will only boil out the flavor. Instead of adding salt to the boiling water, add a pinch of sugar to bring out the natural sweetness of the com. Crisper Drawer: Line the bottom with a paper towel to absorb liquids that make veggies wilt. Frozen Vegetables: These are an important staple; don't be embarrassed to use them. No need to cook before adding to dishes; simply pour boiling water over them in a colander and then add them to your casserole or stove-top dish to finish cooking. Garlic: To mince a garlic clove quickly, mb it over the tines of the back side of a fork. Save yourself lots of time by using jarred minced garlic that can be found in the produce or condiment section of the supermarket. Peel garlic by using the heel of your hand, press the flat side of a wide knife onto an entire clove of garlic. You can then slip the slightly crushed garlic from its skin. Hands smell after peeling garlic? Rub hands with the rounded side of a stainless steel spoon under running water. Hot Peppers: When working with fresh chilies and peppers, wear disposable gloves. Don't handle the peppers under water (it extracts painful vapors). Remember, the spice comes from the white membrane inside the pepper, not the skin or seeds. Leafy Greens: The sooner you consume lettuce, spinach and other greens after they are picked, the crisper they will be. Rinse not-so-fresh greens under cool water to "revive" them. Dry by running the greens through a salad spinner or wrapping them in dry towels. Place in a loosely closed bag and refrigerate 1 hour. Leafy greens are packed with vitamins and minerals. When buying fresh greens, remember that they cook downconsiderably. One pound of spinach or mustard greens will yield a cup or two of cooked greens. Serve iceberg lettuce wedges instead of tom salad greens to save time making a salad. Also, before refrigerating iceberg lettuce, wash and remove the core so each time you need some for salad it's clean and ready. Leeks: To clean leeks: Cut off dark green top and discard or save for stock. Trim root end, leaving base intact so that leek remains in one piece. Starting 1/2" from base, slit leek through the other end; give it a quarter turn and repeat, so the leek is quartered and the root end is intact. Soak the leek in cold water or rinse it under running water, gently spreading the leaves to remove any grit and dirt. Mushrooms: Mushrooms soak up water like a sponge, then release it later while cooking (which can change the consistency of recipes). Try "dry cleaning" your favorite fungi. You can find a "mushroom brush" with soft bristles at most kitchen stores. Lightly moisten the brush (or a rag) with water, and gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Onion Leftovers: If you need only 1/2 an onion, save the root half. It will last longer. Onion & Garlic Odors: To deodorize a plastic storage container in which onions or garlic were stored, wash thoroughly, then stuff a crumpled piece of newspaper in the container, and snap on the lid. In a few days the smell will disappear. Parsley: Fresh parsley can be dried or frozen for later use. For either method, wash and dry parsley then chop. To freeze, simply pace in a plastic zipper bag and freeze. To dry, spread chopped parsley evenly on a baking sheet and place in a 200 degree oven with the door slightly ajar. Check occasionally and remove from oven with completely dry. Store dried parsley in an airtight container. When selecting parsley, remember that the curly-leaf variety has a milder taste and the flat-leaf has a bold taste. Peeling Fruits and Vegetables: Vegetable peelers are good for more than just carrots and potatoes. Use them to peel avocados, kiwi fruit, and many more produce items. Try it out next time you need to peel something difficult. To peel tomatoes, peaches, and pears, scald them in boiling water before peeling will allow you to peel their skins right off. Peppers: When buying fresh peppers, choose those that are a little wrinkled but still unblemished. Wrinkling indicates mellowness. Potatoes: To keep them from budding, place an apple in the bag with potatoes. Ripening Fruits and Vegetables: Many fruits and vegetables found in supermarkets today look ripe, but are hard as a rock. Soften them up by placing them in a brown paper bag and hiding the bag away in a dark cabinet for a day or two. This is great for items such as avocados, kiwi fruit, peaches, nectarines, and more. Once ripe, refrigerate the produce to preserve vitamins. Saving Herbs For Winter: To preserve summer herbs for winter soups and stews, make herb cubes in the freezer. Chop up your herbs and place them in ice cube trays, then cover with water and freeze. To preserve the color and flavor, use boiling water to fill the tray (this blanches the herbs). Some herbs, like cilantro, keep better when frozen in oil. Mince the herb in a food processor, then introduce olive oil until you produce a fine puree. Pour into ice cube trays or bags and freeze. When introducing the frozen herbs to recipes, remember that they contain water or oil. If this will throw off the recipe's consistency, thaw and drain the cubes first. Tomatoes: Never refrigerate a tomato that is not fully ripe. Most tomatoes sold in stores are still ripening, and would benefit from a few days on the counter. Cold temperatures alter the fruit's flavor and stop the ripening process. Once ripe, a tomato can be refrigerated for several days. To ripen a tomato fast, put it with an apple in a perforated bag. To peel and seed tomatoes, cut out the core and score an "X" on the bottom. Immerse in boiling water for 10 seconds. Remove the tomato and plunge into cold water. Remove the skin, cut in half and squeeze out seeds.5th and 6th Grade Students’ Answers to Life’s Many Mysteries Ancient Egypt was old. It was inhabited by gypsies and mummies who all wrote in hydraulics. They lived in the Sarah Dessert. The climate of the Sarah is such that all the inhabitants have to live elsewhere. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandos. He died before he ever reached Canada but the commandos made it. C r»lr\tv»nr» Uod fumrlrod \i uuiuuiuii i icrva tmw uunuivu - coari^ry G11mriraA nnronm V Vll 11UUU1 VU JJVJ1 vujpmvo. xxrae on A.

Karl made speeches and started revolutions. Someone in the family had to have a job, I guess. Socrates was a famous old Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. He later died from an overdose of wedlock which is apparently poisonous. After his death, his career suffered a dramatic decline. In the first Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled biscuits, and threw the java. The games were messier then than they show on tv now. Joan of Arc was burnt to a steak and was canonized by Bernard Shaw for reasons I don’t really understand. The English and French still have problems. Queen Elizabeth was the “Virgin Queen.” As a queen she was a success. When she exposed herself before her troops they all shouted “Hurrah!” and that was the end of the fighting for a long while. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented removable type and the Bible. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes and started smoking. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper which was very dangerous to all his men. The greatest writer if the Renaissance was William Shakespeare. He was born in the year 1564, supposedly on his birthday. He never made much money and is famous only because of his plays. He wrote tragedies, comedies and hysterectomies, all in Islamic pentameter. Writing at the same time as Shakespeare was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The nex great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost.

CANADA'S BREAD BASKET Dost thou think because thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes? -William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night 1 he above quote appeared, along with many others from various sources, in the 1905 edition of Ogilvie’s Book for a Cook the first widely distributed Canadian cookbook. Canadians were reminded throughout the little book that by using Ogilvie Royal Household Flour, they were feeding their family with the same product the Ogilvie company supplied, by Royal Warrant, to HRH The Prince of Wales (later King George V). The Ogilvie Flour Mills Company began in 1855, when Alexander and John Ogilvie took over management of their fathers milling company, which had its start in Jacques Cartier, QC. A third son, William Watson Ogilvie, joined them in 1860, and they managed to compete with large Minneapolis millers to provide flour for Britain from their mills in Ontario, Montreal and Winnipeg. In the 1870s, the introduction of a special grade of hard red spring wheat established Ogilvie's reputation as provider of the worlds best pastry and bread flour. By 1895, Ogilvie was the largest privately owned flour-milling company in the world.

Fading Prairie Silhouettes The wooden gram elevator was once the symbol of the prairies Standing tall and majestic in a field of golden grain, the grain elevator signalled to the world the prairie farmers reliance on the land. Dotting the landscape in an array of bright colours along the country’s railway lines and usually emblazoned with the town’s name, there were nearly 6000 elevators on the Canadian prairies by the mid 1930s. With changes in technology and demand, most wooden elevators have either been replaced by concrete structures or abandoned entirely. There are fewer than 100 wooden grain elevators operating in Canada today. How Does a Grain Elevator Work? Traditional wooden elevators typically consist of a tall, gable-roofed structure that is often attached to one or more smaller annexes, or outbuildings, with various uses: office space, scales or equipment and fuel storage. The main structure houses a series of separate, upright storage bins and one large- capacity basin known as the pit. Grain is weighed, then dumped from the farmer’s truck into the pit. From there, it is transported up'the leg”—an endless series of buckets attached to a mechanical elevating belt—and deposited by the'gerber,” a funnel-shaped distributor, into an empty bin or one holding similar grain. To ship the grain, the procedure is reversed. In the 1930s, Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, a farmer-owned elevator company, was the largest producer cooperative in the world.MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS FOR August 2007 August 1st - regular meeting 8 p.m. August 8th" executive meeting 8 p.m. August 15th " regular meeting 8 p.m. August 22ld " executive meeting 8 p.m. August 29th - no meeting Activities: ® Mowing of Lions Park and the two cemeteries keeps us busy in the summer months. • Don’t forget our annual Lions Barbecue on Sunday, August 12th at Milo Community Hall Milo Lions Community Camp-out This year’s camp-out was once again a fun-filled time with 22 camping units coming out - 84 people.

Grandchildren Experiences Quotes: My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked my how old I was, and I told him, “62.” He was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, “Did you start out at 1 ?” After putting the grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. At last she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stem warnings. As she left, she heard the three year old say with a trembling voice, “Who was THAT?” My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, “Grandma, do you know you and God are alike?” I mentally polished my halos while I asked, “Really, how are we alike?” “You’re both old,” he replied. I didn’t know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me, and always was correct. But it was fun for me, so I continued. At last she headed for the door saying sagely, “Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these yourself!” When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, “I’m not sure.” “Look in your underwear Grandma,” he advised. “Mine says I’m four to six.”CONDOLENCES Our condolences to Sue Andrews on the passing of her sister. ^ ^ 'l* * ^ 'i* •I' ^ sjc »jc jJc Our condolences to Paul Forested and family on the recent passing of Karen.
