Please Drop your news off at the DROPBOX at the LibraryWhy do we have a Fall Fair and why should 1 contribute or help with the Fair? The Milo Fall Fair Committee is a subcommittee of the Milo and District Ag. Society, as is the Milo Canopener, the Milo Hall, the Milo Arena and the Bike Path. The agricultural society receives grants from the province of Alberta each year; we receive a base grant from the government in the amount of $17,500 per year. We also receive partial grants for operating the arena and hall; leadership program funding which we have used to support the Milo School students to attend Camp Chief Hector, and have used it for the Church Youth Group, plus other agricultural courses. path etc. The Ag. Society supports and has supported over the years the Milo School and Kindergarten, Milo Library, Milo Fire Department, the churches in Milo, the Milo Seed Plant, the Vulcan District EMS, STARS, Rainbow Literacy Society, the 4H Foundation, Farm Safety Program, Adult Learning, and other agricultural and horticultural programs, community service clubs and community events that have been offered over the years, and the list goes on. Without the support of volunteers to these organizations, we would not be able to receive the government funding that does so much to help support our community. In order for us to be an agricultural society, we have to host agricultural events annually. Thus is the importance of the Fall Fair. If we do not have the Fall Fair, we stand the chance of losing our agricultural status which in turn could affect our funding. This then could affect the hall, the arena, the Milo Canopener, the bike We need the community to support the Fair by either volunteering to help or by entering items in the Fall Fair. We appreciate the continued support of the Milo School by providing us the facility and the students entries of stories, drawings, artwork, hobbies and cooking into the fair.MILO FALL FAIR AT MILO COMMUNITY SCHOOL SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2007 DOORS OPEN AT 3 P.M.

Council reviewed the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association’s proposed options to present to the Alberta Government with regards to the revised distribution of funding for the Municipal Sustainability Initiative. As a result, the Village of Milo will advise AUMA of Council support for Option 6 - AMIP look alike with per capita distribution and a base component of $200,000 per year for all municipalities with Option 5 - AMIP look alike with per capita distribution and a base component of $100,000 minimum per year for all municipalities as the second choice. CARRIED. Letter of Complaint Council reviewed a letter of complaint regarding a resident’s dog being allowed to defecate on private property and the droppings not being cleaned up. A letter will be sent to the resident requesting this situation is immediately remedied. Committee Reports Joint Fire Chief Meetinqs: Councillor Phillips reported that the study of the existing fire and ambulance communications system in the County has been contracted to Safety Alberta Ltd. Regional Water Line Council and Administration met representatives from Crystal Blue Developments and Hasegawa Engineering on August 4, 2007 to discuss the possibility of a proposed new development on the west side of Lake McGregor using the Village of Milo to provide treated water. As a result of this meeting, the Village of Milo has agreed to have Hasegawa Engineering, at no cost to the Village, explore all the available options to expand our treated water system to accommodate the proposed Crystal Blue Harbor development. This study will be carried on concurrently with the UMA Engineering feasibility study of a regional water line between Milo, Arrowwood and Vulcan County. Water Treatment Supervision Administration attended a meeting at Vulcan on July 18, 2007 with representatives from Alberta New Residential Development Environment, Alberta Health, Alberta Infrastructure and Transportation and representatives from the other jurisdictions using the Town of Vulcan to provide water treatment supervision to discuss the emergent problems Vulcan is encountering trying to provide supervision to so many different plants. The main problem is that two of the jurisdictions do not have any qualified operators, and rely on Vulcan for all their operational duties which has stretched the capabilities of Vulcan to look after their own system and provide supervision to the other contracted groups. The meeting discussed possible ways of addressing the facts that the jurisdictions require supervision of staff and operations to meet licensing requirements and that water treatment operators are hard to hire and retain. A possible solution could be forming a regional water commission to oversee and operate all the County water treatment plants. The supervision the Village of Milo currently receives from Vulcan is not in jeopardy, and in fact, Milo was noted as being one of the easiest facilities to supervise. Council discussed the extent of the engineering services that UMA is will be providing for the new residential development, and decided to request that the scope be increased to address two new cul-de-sac developments, instead of the original proposal for a single new cul-de-sac. Dust Abatement In response to the Village of Milo’s dissatisfaction with the dust abatement done on Railway Avenue in June 2007, Volker Stevin re-applied lingo to the whole area again on August 15, 2007 at no charge to the Village. Council is now satisfied with the service.Cemetery Policy Council reviewed the seven questionnaires which were returned regarding potential changes to the Milo East (O’ Perfect Peace) Cemetery Policy. After discussion, Council approved the following revisions to the Milo East Cemetery Policy: • Reservation of burial plots will be allowed with a deposit of $100 per plot reserved. “As needed” burial plots will remain at no charge. • This deposit will be held for future maintenance and upkeep requirements for the Cemetery. • Plots shall be identified with the Block and Plot number from the current Milo East Cemetery plot plan. • Plots may be returned to the Village of Milo at any time with a full refund of the $100.00 deposit; however re-sale of the plots is prohibited. • Spousal plots directly adjacent to the first deceased spouse’s plot will continue to be reserved, without fee, unless otherwise directed by the surviving spouse. rv Campground Proposal Council reviewed the accumulated information provided by Mr. Doug Walshaw regarding his proposed RV Campground and rejected the proposal due to a lack of adequate planning information being submitted to support the proposal. While Council is still actively seeking an alternative RV development from the current situation, any new propositions for a RV campground in Milo, whether from Mr. Walshaw or any other developer, must include a complete and detailed proposal including engineered blue prints and business and financial plans to allow Council to responsibly assess and consider the development. Next Meeting The next Meeting of the Village of Milo was scheduled for Monday September 15, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. The draft minutes for the August 20, 2007 meeting can be viewed in their entirety at the Village Office during regular office hours. These draft minutes will be approved at the September 17, 2007 Council meeting.

A pancake breakfast was made by the family for all to enjoy as well. A pot luck lunch was set out around noon with enough food to feed an army. Approximately 170 people enjoyed the Barbecue beef on a bun supper with numerous salads and a table full of lesserts. This was also put out in the evening for those who felt like eating again.

Substitute 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. almond extract for each 1/4 cup of Amaretto or almond liqueur requested. Substitute frozen orange juice concentrate and a little orange zest for orange liqueurs. Substitute quadruple-strength coffee for coffee liqueurs. Brown Sugar: To keep brown sugar moist, store in an airtight container with a whole orange, lemon, or lime. To soften brown sugar, place in a microwave-proof dish, add a slice of soft white bread or an apple wedge, cover tightly and microwave at 100% power for 30 seconds. Discard the bread or apple and stir. If you're out of brown sugar, try substituting an equal amount of granulated (white) sugar plus 1/4 cup molasses (light or dark) for every cup of white sugar. Butter: To soften butter, let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the room's temperature). No time for that? Either slice it or place it between sheets of wax paper and pound with a rolling pin; the larger surface area will allow for faster softening. Cheese: To easily shred cheese, let sit in freezer for 30 minutes. The firmer cheese is less likely to make a melted mess on your grater. To prevent hard edges from forming on older cheese, lightly oil the outsides OR rub with butter before storing. Cottage Cheese, Sour Cream & Yogurt: Keep them fresher longer by storing carton in the refrigerator upside down. Curry Powder: When you use commercial curry powder, combine two or more brands - each has a different mix of spices. Dry Beans: Soak beans before cooking to soften them, which reduces cooking time, and to allow some of the gas-generating substances to dissolve into the water, making them easier to digest. Eggs: The simplest way to tell is an egg is fresh it to observe it's shell. If it's rough and chalky, it's fresh. If it's smooth and shiny, it's old. You can also place an egg in cold salted water. If it sinks, it's fresh. If it floats, it's old. To tell if an egg is hard boiled or raw, spin it. A hard-boiled egg will spin smoothly. A raw egg will wobble. It is easier to separate eggs when they are cold. Measuring Corn Syrup, Molasses, and Honey: Dip measuring cup or spoon either in hot water or brush with oil before pouring in the syrup. This way, you get all that's in the cup to come out. Milk: Rinse the pan with cold water before scalding milk to prevent sticking. Nuts: To chop or grind nuts fine in a food processor without turning them into nut butter, add 2 or more tablespoons sugar from the recipe. Toasting nuts intensifies their flavor. Fire up a skillet (high temperature) and spread pecans, walnuts, almonds, pine nuts, etc. over its surface. Stir constantly. When the nuts start to turn brown, remove from the heat and reserve for use in salads, pasta, baked goods and more. Keep a constant eye on them during the process - nuts can turn from brown to black in seconds. Nuts can also be toasted in the oven (or a toaster oven). Spread on a cookie sheet, then bake at 400 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Be sure to stir the nuts occasionally while roasting. Broken pieces will toast faster than whole nuts. Oil For Frying: To effectively strain debris from used cooking oil, use a coffee filter placed in a funnel.Rice: Does your rice dry out when you reheat it? Next time, add 2 tablespoons of liquid for each cup of cooked rice. Cover and heat for a few minutes on the stove or in the oven. In the microwave, cook on high about 1 minute per cup. Fluff it with a fork and enjoy! Perk up white rice by adding chicken broth with a pinch of crumbled dried thyme, marjoram, rosemary, or basil in the cooking water. Salt: Kosher salt and sea salt are the only salts used in my kitchen. Kosher salt is best for cooking, while sea salt is best for the table The taste of sea salt is more potent and the rigid shapes of the grains don't roll off your food as easily. Now that it has become more popular and more widely available, sea salt can be purchased iodized, which 1 recommend getting. When salting a dish, less is always best. As we know, you can always add more, but never take away. Less salt allows for your guests to season to their own taste, not yours. Soy Sauce: Use light (slightly sweeter) soy sauce for marinades and dressings; use dark (slightly heavier) soy sauce for cooking and sauces. Sugar: A sack of lumpy sugar won't be if you place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Tortillas: Tough and chewy tortillas? Try spraying tortillas with water (or running them quickly under the faucet), then sauteing them briefly in a lightly greased skillet over medium high heat. Vanilla: Make your own vanilla by placing 2 split and chopped vanilla beans in 1 liter of vodka or bourbon. Shaking the bottle once a day, let sit for 2-3 months, or until desired color. This also makes great holiday gifts when poured into glass bottles. Wine: Don't throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. G. D’s REE?

When her husband arrived home from the field at noon, he found his wife seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a while, then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments when he returned and handed her a toothbrush.

Pull your droopy pants up. You look like an idiot. 2. Let's get this straight, it's called a gravel road. I drive a pickup truck because I need to. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the V r%*J ‘ 3. They are pigs, cattle and oil wells. That's what they smell like to you. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? Highway No. 2 goes south and No. 1 goes east and west. Pick one. 4. So, you drive a sixty-thousand dollar car. We’re real impressed. We have a quarter-million dollar Combine that we drive three weeks a year. 5. So, every person in a pickup waves. It’s called being friendly. Try to understand the concept. 6. We started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, we saw "Bambi" too. We got over it. 7. If a cell phone rings when ducks are coming in, we shoot it out of your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8. Yeah, we eat beef and pork. You want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop. 9. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November. 10. We open doors for women. This applies to everyone regardless of age. 11. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chefs Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. 12. When we set a table there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables and breads. We use three spices - salt, pepper and ketchup. 13. You bring "Coke" into my house it better be brown, wet, served over ice and plenty of it! 14. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards - it spooks the fish. 15. Colleges? Try Lethbridge College. They come outta there with an education and a love for God and country, and they still wave at passing pickup trucks when they come home for the holidays. 16. We have more Air Force and Army than any other Province, so, "Don't Mess with Alberta". 17. Our military is only used as a backup. Per capita, each man, woman and child owns at least two firearms and knows how to use them. 18. Also, remember that Ralph (our ex- Premier) once said, Alberta can make it without Canada, but Canada can't make it without Alberta.Area bio-ethanoi plants get funding Money pays for feasibility, business studies Don Patterson Tuesday August 28, 2007 Two bio-fuels projects proposed for the Foothills region recently received a promising financial boost. The two were part of 20 projects in Alberta to receive $4.6 million from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Bio-fuels Opportunities for Producers Initiative (BOPI). Of those recipients, $300,000 went to the Sears Ranches Group for a business plan and feasibility study of a planned $25-million-litre ethanol plant. Ag Energy Corporation received $126,510 to go towards a business plan and feasibility study for a plant proposed for the Vulcan area. Ag Energy Corporation steering committee chairperson Gord Nelson said the feasibility study is already complete and the funds will go towards drawing up a business plan for the proposal. “The feasibility study showed it is worth proceeding,” he said, “we will hopefully get started on a business plan fairly quickly.” Nelson said it will “map out” their marketing and operations options for the plant. He said it could still take about 24 months for the plant to become operational. “It’s good for the local economy and it’s an extra market for agricultural production,” said Nelson. Tom Switzer, executive director for the Advancing Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food Program (ACAAP), said the BOPI program is designed to support feasibility studies for bio-fuel projects. The Agriculture and Food Council invested $4.6 million in 20 BOPI projects for the 2006- ’07 fiscal year. He said there’s an additional $6.7 million that will be available nationally for the next fiscal year. Switzer explained BOPI funding is provided for four different areas: hiring advisors to get plans together, feasibility studies, investigating pre-commercialization of biofuels research and determining opportunities to generate industry involvement in biofuel capacity. “You can see it’s a lot of the important front-end work - business planning, feasibility studies and research to assist applicants in making informed decisions,” he said, “the funding comes from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, but the program is delivered by the council here in Alberta.” Switzer said the bio-fuel industry is showing a slow, but positive growth in the country. “Very positive, and consistent with where the industry hopes to go,” he said. “I think it certainly is gaining momentum.” ACAAP deputy executive director Cory Rybuck said the Sears Ranches project would be included in a feed-lot operation.Ahcx\a information Building a stronger Alberta August 24, 2007 Farmers can now file CAIS application online mm* I M AFSC expands access to Internet services Edmonton. Alberta producers can now file their Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization (CAIS) forms online using the myAFSC website. By filing online, producers will improve the quality and scope of their information, and should experience improved processing turnaround times. myAFSC is a secure website that allows producers to check the processing status of their CAIS application, view their historical information and now file their supplementary forms via CAIS eForms. It also allows users to validate the data upfront before submitting. CAIS, a federal-provincial program, helps producers protect their operations from small and large drops in income, and is available to eligible fanners regardless of the commodities they produce. In June, federal, provincial and territorial agriculture ministers agreed to replace CAIS with a new business risk management suite of programs that are more responsive, predictable and bankable for farmers. myAFSC and eForms will continue as online resources for filing and tracking claims. Information on activating myAFSC accounts and CAIS is available via e-mail at myafsc@afsc.ca or by calling 1 -877-744-7900 toll-free. Producers can access the myAFSC website at https://my.afsc.ca/myAFSC. AFSC, a provincial Crown corporation, provides unique financial and risk management tools, including crop and hail insurance; farm loans for beginning and developing producers; farm income disaster protection for producers; and financing for small businesses, agri-processing, and value-added agricultural businesses. Addressing the needs of our agriculture industry is part of Premier Stelmach's plan to build a stronger Alberta. Other priorities for the government are to govern with transparency and integrity, manage growth pressures, improve Albertans' quality of life and provide safe and secure communities.

Congratulations to the other five winners in the final “horse race”: Grant Lahd ($300), Lorraine Marshall ($200), Jim Florkoff ($100), Jeremy Thompson ($100) and Katie Walker ($100).September 2007 SUN MON TUE WED THUR FRI SAT 1 2 Hope Lutheran Church Service - 9:00 am 3 LABOUR DAY 4 MILO SCHOOL STARTS FOR STUDENTS 5 Lions Meeting 8:00 pm 6 T.O.P.S. 8:30 am 7 MILO SCHOOL INSTRUCTIONAL FRIDAY 8 9 Hope Lutheran Church Service 9:00 am 10 11 Milo Fire Practice 6:00 pm 12 Health Nurse at Dron In - 1:00-2:00 Dm 13 T.O.P.S.8:30 am 14 General Meeting Dron In - 2:30 cm 15 Lions Executive Meeting 8:00pm 20th TERRY FOX RUN 9:00 am Milo School 16 Hope Lutheran Church Service - 9:00 am 17 Village of Milo Council Meeting 7:00 pm 18 19 Lions Supper Meeting 7:00 pm 20 T.O.P.S.8:30 am 21 22 23 Hope Lutheran Church Service - 9:00 am 24 DEADLINE CANOPENER 25 26 BBQ LUNCH FOR NEW MILO LIBRARY (SCOTIABANK GROUP) 11am -2 om Lions Executive Meeting 8:00pm 27 T.O.P.S.8:30 am 28 29 MILO FALL FAIR Doors open: 3:00 pm Supper: 6-7 pm 30 No Hope Lutheran Church Service October 1 October 2 October 3 Lions Supper Meeting 7:00 pm October 4 T.O.P.S.8:30 am October 5 October 6
