Monthly Draw Winner - John Davidson Lions Turkey Draw Winner - Mona MiddlesteadCounty Councillor (Grant Lafid) So another year has almost passed. How many of us are where we thought we would be compared to this time last year? County Councilors have approved the 1992 Budget and it has been very difficult to arrive at a consensus. We finally agreed to raise taxes on the municipal side rather than cut back on service to the ratepayers. The tax increase is not that large per guarter but when cash is hard to come by it may cause some concern . Some good news for Division 7 is that 542/842 will be paved next summer(Provided that there are no(PROVINCIAL) funding cuts in the secondary road programe. In November at the convention Government Officials said that we should go ahead with initial survey work so cost of the project could be determined. Because the County of Vulcan "cost shares" with the Provincial Gov't, we are away ahead of most other areas on secondary road improvements. I have put a lot of time and work into getting th^s road paved and I hope to see it finally happen. I believe that a paved road will bring more tourist dollars into the Milo area. MOney was put into the 1992 Budget for the new proposed seed-cleaning ant. Partly due to the high cost of the plant there was a lot of opposition from other concilors. Discussion was long and many different scenarios were brought up. I don't give up very easily and the vote finally was in our favour. However, the cost of the plant i very high and more money will have to be raised by the members I believe. We have been working on a plan to have a contractor do the spot paving in front of farm yards. This plan has not gone the way I had hoped and in spite of my best efforts it appears this may be guite expensive. If the product lasts 2-3 years, as it appears that it will, the per year cost isn't so bad but the total cost will be all at once. When I get more information I will be contacting people who have shown interest in getting this done. The contractor has indicated he needs 25 miles to break even. This will reguire a lot of 1000 ft. spots to be done. I believe it will be money well spent as it looks like the test spots done last summer are standing up well. I have not got in touch with the contractor yet but I want to ask him about doing private driveways as well. If any one is interested I would appreciate knowing as I feel it is goin< to be hard to get 25 miles. There will be a notice in the Advocate as soon as some price can be obtained. Unfortun- atly because of the cost and distance reguired this may be the only chance to get this product. Not much to report from the School Board this month. There has been some vandalism at County Central High School and the board has met with school official and student union reps, to try to get it stopped. Several thousand dollars of damage has been done, gs wel as many messes that the janitors clean up. After reading the Janitors report I can't imagine what these kids are thinking. Even though only a few are causing the trouble it reflects on everyone. Students who see damage bein< done are going to have to report it. When they get out in the real world the; will find out who pays for someone's stupidity. We are hoping the New Year will bring improvments in this problem. Happy New Year to all who live in Division 7.BROWNIE NEWS Chinook Arch Agreement Signed December IS!

AUE. WEIGHT - S2.79/LB,THE ANNE ERANK HOUSE submitted by M. Vannatta On our recent trip to Holland, we toured the Anne Frank House iri Amsterdam, The house was built in 1635 as a merchant’s house on Prinsengracht. The price of houses was determined by their width, so people built lengthwise, The result was the long narrow houses typical of Amsterdam, There had to be enough daylight, so the houses could not be too long. For this reason there were always two houses buiit one behind the other: one in front, a courtyard in between and an annex, The annex served as the Frank family’s hiding place. In 19 40, a few years after the Frank family migrated from Germany where Hitler had taken over and had declared Jews as inferior, Anne’s father, Otto Frank established his wholesale business in herbs and spices in the house on the Prinsengracht. By the second year of the German occupation of Holland, it was clear that Jews would be deported unless they found a place to hide, Otto Frank managed this, with the help of his former employees, In the first months of 1942, a hiding place was created in the empty annex for his family and that of Mr. Van Daan. who had connections with Mr, Frank's business, The building that has become known as ’Anne Frank's Annex’ consists of the two upper floors and the attic of the annex, The entrance to the hiding place was hidden behind a hinged bookcase, Since the herb supply had to be kept in a dark place, the windows at the back were blacked out and painted over. In this way the annex was hidden from view. The Germans had also ordered the blackout in order to make it more difficult for the allied planes to find their way at night, This also lessended the chances of discovering the Frank's hideout. The Frank family lived in this hideout for twenty-five long months until they were discovered by the German army and taken to concentration camps, Only the father survived and returned to Amsterdam, where one of his; helpers, Miep, had saved Anne’s diary, For those readers who aren’t familar with Anne's story, here is some brief points of the Anne Frank Diary; Anne Frank was born on June 12, 1929. in Frankfurt, Germany. She was the second daughter of Otto Frank and Edith Frank - Hollander. She had a sister, Margot, three years older. In 1933, when Hitler succeeded in becoming leader, he declared all races, other than German people, inferior, in particularly, the Jews, Soon all Jewish civil servants were fired, And from then on the concentration camps were established and filled with political opponents, trade union leaders and everyone who disagreed with him. All life in Germany after 1933 was oriented towards preparation for war. Few people realized this, however, in September of 1939, World War II began with the invasion of Poland. Between 1939 and 1945, this war cost nearly 55,000,000 lives, amoung them nearly 6,000,000 Jews were killed in concentration camps, Thus the Frank family fled to Amsterdam where they moved into a house on Merwede Square, Anne went to school in the same neighbourhood, Between ’33 and ’39 hundreds of thousands of Jewish Germans sought refuge in other countries, but this was extremely difficult, especially after 1938. In May, 1940. Holland was invaded by German armies, Five days later it surrended and occupation began, Many Dutch Jews hoped that the situation would not become as bad as it was in Germany, but Mr, Frank was not so optimistic. This was about tne tune that Anne turned 1 3 years old and had gotten a diary for her birthday, This was also about the time Mr. Frank started bringing in household effects bit by bit. On July 6, 1942, Anne’s sister, Margot was summoned, ordering her to register for mandatory work. That was the date the Frank family went into hiding, to be followed later by the Van Daan family and Mr. Dussei. The hideaways tried to S-.ve a r.crmai life as possible. For the three children, Anne, Margot and Peter Van Daan, this mem studying and doing homework. They were not allowed to get behind in their school work. T hey had :o be quiet so no one would hear them, as not all the people working in the office knew that they were there. Of course, they had to have outside help to provide them with food bought on the black market or with food stamps obtained by the underground, Two former employees of Mr, Frank's were, Mr. Koophuis and Mr, Kraler, Also helping were two of his typists, Miep and Elly, On August 1. 1944, Anne wrote her last entry in her diary. On August 4, 1944, a truck of German police and their Dutch cohorts appeared at the door, They walked straight to the bookcase and shouted "open it", and seized the terrified hideaways. A German policeman ordered everyone to hand over their valuables. He took Mr, Frank’s attache case and shook out the contents on the floor, one book which was Anne’s diary, and put in what he wanted to take with him, Anne's book was left behind and later recovered by Miep. The hideaways were escorted to the police station, then to Westerbork. The last transport of Jews from Westerbork took them to Auschwitz, Mrs, Frank died of starvation in Auschwitz. Mr Van Daan was gassed. Peter Van Daan was carried off with the S.S, when the approach of the Russians forced the Germans to evacuate Auschwitz and reported missing. Mr. Dussei died in Nevengamme. In late October, Margot and Anne were deported to Bergen-Belsen, a concentration camp in Germany, Anne andf Anne t nanh HouA.e, Continued) Margot both came down wthTyphus, they died within a short time of each other in 1945. Mrs. Van Daan died at Bergen-Belsen. Mr, Frank was liberated from Auschwitz by German troops. Upon his return to Amsterdam, Mr. Frank realized that he was the only survivor. Then Miep, one of the helpers, gave him Anne’s diary. After the hideaways had been taken away, the helpers had gone back to the annex and taken as much as they could with them. Shortly afterwards, the annex was ransacked, Miep had kept Anne’s diary all that time. Acting on friends advice. Otto Frank decided to publish Anne’s diary. It appeared in 1947, titled ’The Annex’, a title Anne herself had chosen. It had been estimated that the diary has been published in more than fifty languages and more than 13,000,000 copies printed. This story may bring back many memories to several of our readers who were involved in that war. Perhaps, they would consider sharing some of their memories in other issues of the Can Opener. Anyone interested in reading the book, ’Anne Frank’s Diary’, will find it in the milo library. CLr'/SK’f? Story* fi FEW Vefl/?S A<S0, ovl (z/{ST Of TOuiN^ A 'iCUkl&HArt 'be.Cit^X. To 7*<£.

Present were Mayor Phillips, Councillors Middlestead and Umscheid, Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr and guest Gordon Vooys. The minutes of the meeting held on October 7, 1991 were read. Mayor Phillips moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. By-Law #293 was presented to Council for reading. The By-Law authorizes the assessor to use the 1991 assessment and valuation of certain property as shown on the assessment roll of the municipality as the assessment or valuation of that property for 1992. Councillor Middlestead moved first reading. CARRIED. Councillor Umscheid moved second reading. CARRIED. Councillor Middlestead moved the By-Law be given a third and final reading at this meeting. CARRIED UNANIMOUS. Councillor Umscheid moved third reading of By-Law #293. CARRIED. Council discussed the fee for a letter of compliance. There has only been one request to date for this. Councillor Middlestead made a motion that the Village charge a fee of $ 20.00 for this service. CARRIED. The cost of a tax certificate remain at $ 5.00. Mr. Gordon Vooys attended the meeting on behalf of the Water Co-Op to discuss the power bill and yearly administration fee for the pump house at the lake. Mr. Vooys and Mayor Phillips went to the pump house to get the meter readings. The meter reading for the Village was 37,098,900 and for the Co-Op it was 69,240,100. The Village has used 10,336,400 gallons and the Co-Op has used 17,222,600 gallons from December 1, 1990 to November 11, 1991. The total cost of the power bills for the period December 1990 to October 30, 1991 is $ 1,825.36 (this is less 43% GST). The total gallons of water used was 27,559,000. If you use 27,559 and divide it by $ 1,825.36, it works out to 66.23 per millions gallons. This (66.23) times the 17,222,600 (the water used by the Co-Op) is the amount the Co-Op owes the Village for their share of the power. This amount is $ 1,140.65. Last year's bill was $ 1,059.00. MEyoVooys gave the Village a cheque in the amount of $ 1,500.65 which also includes the $ 360.00 administration fee for Dec. 1/90 to Nov. 30/91.

Lynda Cyr informed Council that Mrs. Lola Findlay had found the title for her property. She came to Milo last week and signed the transfer with the Village. The papers have been signed and sent to Land Titles Office. Councillor Middlestead made a motion that the Village cancel the taxes on Mrs. Findlay's property in the amount of $ 242.96. CARRIED. To date there have not been any resumes for the job at the water plant. Mayor Phillips has been looking after the water plant and Council discussed paying him a salary until a replacement is found. Lynda Cyr is to check with Municipal Affairs about this and it may be a conflict of interest. The building permit by-law was tabled until the December meeting.

They stand at the gate like the living dead. A signal to the cattleman that they want to be fed. From his kitchen table, with his bleary eyes, The cattleman ignores their sorrowful cries, He has just emerged from his nightime roost. And is badly in need of a caffine boost. As the coffee maker begins to sputter and choke, The cattleman methodically rolls a smoke, He rolls with speed and not much care, As is evident from the tabacco beneath his chair. His mind is troubled and, in his chair, he shifts. One shopping day left to get his wife a gift, Every year he decides not to leave it so late. But he always manages to procrastinate He does his chores and with a frown. He loads up Brown Bob and heads for town, Now, money is scarcer than teeth in a hen. So this gift for his wife should be of some use to him. The main street of town is like Grand Central Station, It seems there are others in his situation, He parks in front of Jake’s Tire Shop, And decides, since he’s here, he might as well stop. Jake and some of the boys are partaking in Christmas cheer, The cattleman lifts his glass and says, "To next year". At every other town business he gives the same toast. Good thing this town has about ten business at most. As the afternoon sun sinks Sow into the west, A gift from the hardware store appears to be the best. He seaches the aisles for the appropriate way, To surprise his wife on Christmas Day. After some fifteen minutes of power shopping, He selects a gift, that is simply heart stopping. Even though he can’t afford diamonds or expensive suits, She is bound to like a scoop shovel and new rubber boots.

She was one and a half years my senior and she could nail me in the head with a rock from anywhere within thirty yards, even when I was in full flight, which was most of the time. As far as I can recollect, with one exception, I was the only target Joan ever threw rocks at, and to this day, I can't figure out how she could have achieved such a level of proficiency. Sometimes I feel all the little dents and hills on the back of my head and it suggests she had more practice than I remember. My barber attempts to interpret the messages he claims are written in my scalp. One day in 1947 my Dad came into the house and calmly, for .him, announced that the blankety blank house was on fire. I ran outside and sure enough, the blankety blank house was on fire. Using the latest in fire fighting technology my Mother and Dad were able to put the fire out. The technique involved used jam cans full of water delivered to, and emptied on the fire. My Dad used his oversized fist to poke a hole in the roof from the inside. I've since learned that it is necessary for fire fighters to make holes in roofs so they can prevent them from burning. The fire was out and Dad assured my Mother that everything would be o.k. and that he would fix the hole in the roof later on. I finally fixed the hole in 1956. In the meantime we had a hole in the roof of our house. Joan was the object of the attentions of several local young men. There was one in particular where the interest was mutual. The young man was from a socially elite family. They had more sheep than we did and a newer outhouse, plus their roof didn't have a hole in it. The young suitor's name was Claude but we teased Joan by calling him Clod. Joan was very protective of her boyfriend, and was able to avoid any contact with her brothers while she was in Clod's company. Clod turned out to be a likable sort who didn't have to compete for food and space with as many siblings as we did. The carrying capacity of our home was always one or two less than our family head count. T h f u v . _ Joan and Clod had gone to a local dance at our school. Clod had borrowed his Dad's 1941 model Chev that still had three of its fenders. The dance must have been long because my older brother Jim complained how difficult it was to stay awake while waiting for his sister to come home. When Clod finally clattered Joan home, he gallantly walked her to the door. Jim stuck his head out through the hole in the roof to get a bird's eye view of the fare-thee-well. It was a moonlit night and as romantic as it was possible to get in the windblown 1940's in depression ridden southern Alberta. Clod sensed Jim’s head. Clod probably had reason to be concerned because Jim later explained that Clod seemed to be practicing a sort of pucker. Clod asked Joan 'What's that on your roof?" An owl." replied Joan, reaching for a rock "I never seen an owl that looked so suspicious and ugly." said Clod Don't worry," Joan counselled "we see him around here regular and he is gruesome, but I think we're going to kill him." Any chance for romance was gone and had vanished as instantly as Joan' wrath had permeated her personage. Clod walked backwards toward his car muttering some thing about owls having teeth when Joan's discretion evaporated and she let fly with a rock. Jim didn't expect her to be able to "night shoot" but her motive was intensely pure, and like David of old, she made a direct hit. Jim tore his scalp on the back of his head as he tried to gopher back into the house. His head was bleeding on two sides, and Joan had to be physically restrained to prevent our family from getting closer to the carrying capacity of our farm. Clod never returned and I understand he is still a bachelor. His farm was a little further back in the hills where owls behaved the way theythe milo gymnastic club is running our ANNUAL BOTTLE DRIvEi if vou wish to haue TH0SE 0LD SPACE CLUTTERING BOTTLES PiCKED UP AND HAULED AWAY, PLEASE GIVE ONE OF FOLLOWING VOLUNTEERS A CALL, ROCKV WILSON H599-37G4 BARB GODKIN tt599-22i3 DARB HOLOBOFF 8539-2408 BLAHNE 5UKUT ±1599-2133Winch Christmas Party On December 2.2, sixty-three people attended the Winch Christmas party at the Milo Community Hall.

Ruth and Russel Smith moved into the old Gary and Nan Robertson place around the first of November. They had previously been iiving in the Berrywater district and decided that Dwayne, their son and his wife Doreen should be handling the majority of the farming business. Dwayne and his wife had been living in Vulcan and he had been comuting to the farm to work with his father, The younger Smith’s will be moving to the farm in the near future. Doreen is from Saskatchewan and has been working in the county office and teaching piano lessons in their home in Vulcan, Russel and Dwayne Smith operate "Grainworks Inc." from the farm with Russel being the senior partner. This is a wholesale organic grain business, They have produced and shipped to all parts of Canada and the U.S.A, and to parts of Europe. Their clients are healthfood stores and private individuals who wish to have a chemical free diet, U.P.S. picks up and delivers from the farm on a Monday to Friday basis. On the acreage there is about 50 hogs and "Smith Miniatures". Now the question most people ask is What good is a miniatiure horse? 1) Diversification 2) Pet 3) Can be ridden by small children and driven by most adults, if you know how. A) Helps instil responsibility in those who look after them 5) Doesn’t cost much to feed 6) A good quality miniature runs from $ 1000.00 to $8000.00 depending upon the size ( the smaller the better) the sex and the age. Now tel! me what cattle man out there, or horse man or lady can ascribe to all that??? The foals will be arriving around the first of April and we would love to have you stop by and enjoy them with us. Ruth and Russel have been in this business for about 8 years and are enjoying every minute of it. We would love to get to know our neighbors, and get involved in what the neighborhood is doing. Please drop in anytime, you are welcome. Milo Alphabets Kindergarten During the month of December we were busy making Christmas decorations, learning songs and anxiously waiting for the arrival of Christmas Day and of course "Santa Claus". On December 17, we went to the Drop-In center where we sang songs and recited a poem "The Friendly Beasts". Each child presented a decorated candy jar to an adult at the performance. Afterwards the ladies served us refreshments, which we enjoyed very much. On December 19, we took part in the mini-concert put on by the school. After Santa dropped by to see all the children and hand out candy bags. We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
