He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really angry. She told him 'Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in less then 12 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE!!' The next morning Bob got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway. Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, and brought the box back in the house. She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale. Bob has been missing since Friday. Please pray for him.MILO SUPPORTS In a BIG WAY!!!! The Milo School students and staff initiated a ‘Pennies for Patients penny/coin drive Monday, March 31st. It ran to Friday, April 18th. Money raised from the campaign will be forwarded to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to be used for research and to improve patient care and quality of life during treatment. Staff set a goal of $300-$400 for this year. Our hope was for students to bring in some coin to donate to this worthwhile cause and to learn more about it. We also placed a donation box at Scotiabank and many patrons supported our cause there. The Milo Hotel also supported the school by sporting a donation box and selling ‘Pennies’ - paper pennies a person purchased for $1.00 and wrote their name on. Tallies of the amount of coin collected per class were kept and most classes incorporated the coin counting and adding into their math classes. Thank you to every grade for all the help counting coin. Each week an ‘incentive’ to raise the most money per class was put forward by staff. , . Week one the class who raised the most money had the honor of ‘doing’ Mrs. Heather’s hair and make-up - and they made her wear it on for the whole day. ^ There was fierce competition between the grade 4 and the grade 5/6 class. The grade 5/6 s won and boy, did they do a job of Mrs. Heather. She was repeateaiy toid — i can t iook ai1 Week two, the winning class won the right to tape Mrs. Holgate to the wall. Again, competition was fierce, this time between the grade 7/8 class and the grade 9’s. The grade 9’s raised over $600 that week alone and the grade 7/8’s raised well over $400. Mrs. Booth has volunteered to be ‘taped to the wall’ too, as the grade 7/8’s worked soWeek three was our final week of the Pennies for Patients Campaign and ended, Friday, April 18th with students buying ‘pies’ for $1.00 each (plate of whip cream) to throw at staff who volunteered to be pied. Mr. Aitken received the worst of the whip cream but everyone had a great time! Staff who participated were Mr. Piot, Mr. Aitken, Mrs. Flolgate, Mrs. Booth, Mrs. Nelson, and Miss Burgess. Thank you to Mrs. Heather, Mrs. Holgate, Mrs. Booth, Mr. Piot, Mr. Aitken, Mrs. Nelson and Miss Burgess for being our guinea pigs. The students appeared to have a great time and really supported the cause. A special thank you goes to Miss Lewis for cleaning the gym floor after the pie fun. Students, give yourselves a HUGE pat on the back!! You did a fantastic job raising funds for such a worthwhile cause. We expected you to bring in a little coin each. You brought in huge amounts, and parents, friends and siblings also supported the cause. Some of you even brought in your allowance money and coin from your piggy banks. Way to Go!!!! Thank you to our community for your support!!! The grades 7-9’s taped Mrs. Holgate and Mrs. Booth to the wall during the White Elephant Sale last Thursday. There will be a pizza party for the whole school. And, Mrs. Heather will sport the chicken pox look. The grades 1-4’s will ‘spot her with a dot for every $10.00 raised. That’s quite a few dots. Our official total is $2,149.68.

Water Displacement #40. The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a ’water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth Formulation, thus WD-40. Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has pvpr that snnttv shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stovetop. Voila! It's now shimei than it's ever been. You'll be amazed. Here are some of the uses: 1) Protects silver from tarnishing. 2) Removes road tar and grime from cars. 3) Cleans and lubricates guitar strings. 4) Gives floors that 'just-waxed' sheen without making it slippery. 5) Keeps flies off cows. 6) Restores and cleans chalkboards. 7) Removes lipstick stains. 8) Loosens stubborn zippers. 9) Untangles jewelry chains. 10) Removes stains from stainless steel sinks. 11) Removes dirt and grime from the barbecue grill. 12) Keeps ceramic/terra cotta garden pots from oxidizing. 13) Removes tomato stains from clothing. 14) Keeps glass shower doors free of water spots. 15) Camouflages scratches in ceramic and marble floors. 16) Keeps scissors working smoothly. 17) Lubricates noisy door hinges on vehicles and doors in homes 18) It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for those nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks. 19) Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40! 20) Gives a children's play gym slide a shine for a super fast slide. 21) Lubricates gear shift and mower deck lever for ease of handling on riding mowers.22) Rids kids rocking chairs and swings of squeaky noises. 23) Lubricates tracks in sticking home windows and makes them easier to open. 24) Spraying an umbrella stem makes it easier to open and close. 25) Restores and cleans padded leather dashboards in vehicles, as well as vinyl bumpers. 26) Restores and cleans roof racks on vehicles. 27) Lubricates and stops squeaks in electric fans. 28) Lubricates wheel sprockets on tricycles, wagons, and bicycles for easy handling. 29) Lubricates fan belts on washers and dryers and keeps them running smoothly. 30) Keeps rust from forming on saws and saw blades, and other tools. 31) Removes splattered grease on stove. 32) Keeps bathroom mirror from fogging. 33) Lubricates prosthetic limbs. 34) Keeps pigeons off the balcony (they hate the smell). 35) Removes ail traces of duct tape. 36) Folks even spray it on their arms, hands, and knees to relieve arthritis pain. 37) Florida's favorite use is: 'cleans and removes love bugs from grills and bumpers.' 38) The favorite use in the state of New York WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements. 39) WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures and you will be catching the big one in no time. Also, it's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states. 40) Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately and stops the itch. 41) WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag. 42) Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry, saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re-wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone! 43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. 44) Helps 'unstick/unclog' door and car keyholes. P. S.

A; About 30 years. A; You can always count on Grandmas for candy. Sometimes Moms don’t even have bread on them! Q; Describe the world’s greatest Mom? A; She would make broccoli taste like ice cream. A; The greatest Mom in the world wouldn’t make me kiss my fat aunts. A; She wouldn’t worry that my socks never match. Q; Is there anything perfect about your Mom? A; Her teeth are perfect, but she bought them from the dentist. A; Her casserole recipes. But we hate ‘em. A; Just her children. Q; What would it take to make your Mom perfect? A; On the inside , she’s already perfect, but on the outside, I think some kinda plastic surgery. A; Diet. You know, her hair. I’d dye- it, maybe blue. Q; What’s one thing you would change about her? A; I’d make her smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me. . epMP/Lgt? svColleen’s Opinion Many people have heard me state my dislike for margarine. We only use butter!, at home and with our catering business. Mainly because I just don’t like the taste but I found the following article interesting and reassuring that my choice for using butter is a good one. I thought that I would share the following with you. It is your choice whether to believe it or not. Some of it is obviously factual, some of it questionable, you decide. This is so e y for your entertainment. Pass The Butter — please. Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, me people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back. It was a white substance with no food appeal, so they added the yellow food coloring and soiu it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavorings. Do you know. the difference between margarine and butter? Read on to the end . .gets very interesting! > Both have the same amount of calories. > Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams > Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% according to a recent Harvard Medical study. > Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods. > Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added. > Butter tastes better than margarine and it enhances the flavors of other toods^ > Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around less than 100 years. And Now for Margarine ♦> Very high in trans fatty acids. * Triple risk of coronary heart disease. * Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol). «$♦ Increases the risk of cancers. (Colleen’s note: but doesn t everything.) * Lowers quality of breast milk. ♦> Decreases immune response. ♦> Decreases insulin response. *i+ Margarine is but one molecule away from being plastic.This fact alone was enough for me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance). You can try this yourself: Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area. Within a few days you will note a couple of things: ® no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it • it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it ® even those teeny microorganisms will not find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread it on your toast? Please read this article with an open mind. Obviously some of our margarines have improved over the last 5 years and this cannot be speaking for all varieties. But, remember NOTHING can replace BUTTER! - ARROW WOOD CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION LIMITED P.O.

They went on to compete in the Club Championship where they were successful against the other Ladies League winners. This earned them a berth in the 2008 City Championships which were held in Cochrane. The City Championships include winners from all city clubs plus champions from Chestermere, High River, Cochrane and Springbank, in most divisions. The Jordan team won their way through to the City Championship final where they lost to the host ladies team from Cochrane. CONGRATULATIONS TO STEPHANIE, AMANDA, ANDREA AND ASHLEY ON YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON!!MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE NICKNAMES If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah. If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes. EATING OUT When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators. MONEY A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale. BATHROOMS A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from M&S. The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items. ARGUMENTS A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. CATS Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats. FUTURE A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. SUCCESS A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. MARRIAGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, but she does. DRESSING UP A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail. A man will dress up for weddings and funerals. NATURAL Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night. OFFSPRING Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams. A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing. The Bus Ride Two bowling teams, one of all Blondes and one of all Brunettes, charter a double-Decker bus for a weekend trip to Louisiana. The Brunette team rode on the bottom of the bus, and the Blonde team rode on the top level. The Brunette team down beiow really whooped it up, having a great time, when one of them realized she hadn’t heard anything from the Blondes upstairs. She decided to go up and investigate. When the Brunette reached the top, she found all the Blondes in fear, staring straight ahead at the road, clutching the seats in front of them with white knuckles, the brunette asked, 'What the heck's going on up here? We’re having a great time downstairs!'^ One of the Blondes looked up at her, swallowed hard and whispered. 'YEAH, BUT YOU’VE GOT A DRIVER!?!’5 THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELL PHONE COULD DO .

If you find yourselt out of coverage area of your mobile network, and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed if the keypad is locked. SECOND — Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car ana nave the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the cell phone on their end. You car will unlock. This saves someone having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other “remote key” for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). Colleen’s note: “It works fine. We tried this out and it unlocked our van over a cell phone. Just remember that both phones used have to be cell phones. THIRD - Hidden Battery Power Imagine that your cell battery is low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell will restart and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged the next time you charge your cell. FOURTH - How to DISABLE a Stolen Cell Phone To check your cell phone’s serial number key in the following digits on your phone. *#06#. A 15-digit code appears on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. If your phone should be stolen you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can t use/sell it either. If everybody did this, there would be no point stealing mobile phones. FIFTH - Free Directory Service Calls Cell phone companies are charging us $ 1.00 to $ 1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don’t have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory m our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: 800-373-3411 without incurring any charge at all.SLICK UP SALOON STARTING MAY 4 TH \\/T7 \HTT¥ ww ww ■ ■ ■ a j Hi tfi i’iii i i in ON SUNDAY’S 12:00 TILL 7:00 PM Come Cheer on your favorite team and Check out the play off Drink specials GOOD LUCK SEEDINGThe Evolution of Mom Yes, parenthood changes everything. But parenthood also changes with each baby. Here, some of the ways having a second and third child differs from having your first: Your Clothes - • 1st baby: You begin wearing maternity clothes as soon as your OB/GYN confirms your pregnancy. • 2nd baby: You wear your regular clothes for as long as possible. • 3rd baby: Your maternity clothes are your regular clothes. The Baby's Name - • 1st baby: You pore over baby-name books and practice pronouncing and writing combinations of all your favorites. • 2nd baby: Someone has to name their kid after your great-aunt Mavis, right? It might as well be you. • 3rd baby: You open a name book, close your eyes, and see where your finger falls. Bimaldo? Perfect! Preparing for the Birth - • 1 st baby: You practice your breathing religiously. • 2nd baby: You don't bother practicing because you remember that last time, breathing didn't do a thing. • 3rd baby: You ask for an epidural in your 8th month. The Layette - • 1st baby: You prewash your newborn's clothes, color-coordinate them, and fold them neatly in the baby's little bureau. • 2nd baby: You check to make sure that the clothes are clean and discard only the ones with the darkest stains. • 3rd baby: Boys can wear pink, can't they? Worries - • 1st baby: At the first sign of distress - a whimper, a frown - you pick up the baby. • 2nd baby: You pick the baby up when her wails threaten to wake your firstborn. • 3rd baby: You teach your 3-year-old how to rewind the mechanical swing. Activities - • 1st baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics, Baby Swing, and Baby Story Hour. • 2nd baby: You take your infant to Baby Gymnastics. • 3rd baby: You take your infant to the supermarket and the dry cleaner. Going Out - • 1st baby: The first time you leave your baby with a sitter, you call home 5 times. • 2nd baby: Just before you walk out the door, you remember to leave a number where you can be reached. • 3rd baby: You leave instructions for the sitter to call only if she sees blood. At Home - • 1st baby: You spend a good bit of every day just gazing at the baby. • 2nd baby: You spend a bit of every day watching to be sure your older child isn't squeezing, poking, or hitting the baby. • 3rd baby: You spend a little bit of every day hiding from the children.Snake Valley Drop-In News Coffee Don’t forget to stop in for coffee Monday mornings and afternoons.

Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven. He is at the Pearly Gates, met by St. Peter himself. However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. St. Peter said, 'Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you I have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven.' Forrest responds, 'It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard. > Life was a big enough test as it was.’ > > St. Peter continued, 'Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only > three questions. > > First: > What two days of the week begin with the letter T? > Second: > How many seconds are there in a year? > Third: > What is God's first name?' > Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the > next day and sees St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, 'Now > that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me > your answers' > Forrest replied, 'Well, the first one — which two days in the > week begins with the letter'T'?

That would be Today and Tomorrow.'! > The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, 'Forrest, that is > not what I was thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I > did not specify, so I will give you credit for that > answer. How about the next one?' asked St. Peter. > 'How many seconds in a year?

'I see where you > are going with this, and I see your point, though that was not > quite what I had in mind.but I will have to give you credit > for that one, too. Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name’? > 'Sure,' Forrest replied, 'it's Andy.' > 'Andy?' exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter. >'OK,I can understand how you came up with your answers to my > first two questions, but just how in the world did you come up > with the name Andy as the first name of God?' > 'Shucks, that was the easiest one of all,’ Forrest > replied.

Thank you everyone for your donations and support of the Sale!! Your donations were Awesome!!LOT'S WIFE The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, 'My Mommy looked back once while she was driving/ he announced triumphantly, 'and she turned into a telephone pole!' GOOD SAMARITAN A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan. She asked the class, 'If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?' A thoughtful little girl broke the hushed siience, 'I think I'd throw up.' DID NOAH FISH? A Sunday school teacher asked, 'Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark?’ 'No,' replied Johnny. 'How could he, with just two worms.' HIGHER POWER A Sunday school teacher said to her children, ‘We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a Higher Power. Can anybody tell me what it is?' One child blurted out, 'Aces!' THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know." BEING THANKFUL A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year- old boy, 'So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?' The little boy replied, 'Thank God he's in bed!' TIME TO PRAY A pastor asked a little boy if he said his prayers every night. 'Yes, sir,' the boy replied. 'And, do you always say them in the morning, too?' the pastor asked. 'No sir,' the boy replied. 'I ain't scared in the daytime. SAY A PRAYER Little Johnny and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right away. 'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother. 'I don’t need to,' the boy replied. 'Of course, you do,' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.' 'That's at our house,' Johnny explained. 'But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!'HIGHLIGHTS OF VILLAGE OF MILO REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING March 25, 2008 Ian Godkin - Liberty School Community member Ian Godkin addressed Council regarding the relocation of the Liberty School m o the Village. This project is still very much a go with the Lions Club covering the cost of the relocation and a new basement/foundation for the building. Mr. Godkin requested that Council again consider where the School could be placed in the Municipal limits as well as the servicing that would be required and a tentative timeline for completion of 2009 to coincide with the 100 year anniversary of the School. Lengthy discussion followed and after consideration of the options, Council decided that the building would best fit at the western most entrance at the north end of town in Lots 1 - 3 of Block 7 Plan 5802 GV. This location, adjacent to Lions Park another Public zone, has good access to water and room for landscaping and parking making it a good fit for the Liberty School. Administration will begin the process of rezoning this area from Residential to Public and follow up with Mr. Godkin and Council. Civic Addresses Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Council and Administration reviewed a revised Civic Address map from the Oldman River Regional Services Commission. Corner lots on 1st Avenue North/South were identified as needing to change ,8ir ~tr88t” CIVIC address to facilitate 911 Emergency dispatches. Administration will request “ these changes and also addresses for the water treatment plant, School and Arena. The Village Council formally approved engaging the services of UMA Engineering to coordinate anu oversee the upgrade project of the Water Treatment Plant. This project is slated for either the Fan ^008 or Spring 2009 when the Plant is operating at low demand to ensure as little disruption in service as possible. Annexation A?
