Jan Loree Hurl, Returning OfficerFor Your Information: To our Local Electors Regarding the upcoming election, here are some Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about elections and VOTER ELIGIBILITY. FAQ (from the Municipal Affairs website) Do I have to vote for the required number of candidates? No, however, you may only vote once for each candidate and only up to the number of candidates to be elected to the office. See section 57 of the Local Authorities Election Act. If I am a renter, not a property owner, am I entitled to vote? Yes, a renter can vote if they meet the Eligibility to Vote, section 47 in the Local Authorities Election Act (see below). When are election results official? Election results are considered official at 12 noon on October 22, 2010. The returning officer may publish unofficial election results. See section 97of the Local Authorities Election Act. From the LOCAL AUTHORITIES ELECTION ACT (LAE Act): Eligibility to vote 47(1) A person is eligible to vote in an election held pursuant to this Act if the person (a) is at least 18 years old, (b) is a Canadian citizen, and (c) has resided in Alberta for the 6 consecutive months immediately preceding election day and the person’s place of residence is located in the area on election day. Rules of residence You may only be a resident of one place at a time for the purposes of voting. If you have more than one residence in Alberta, you must designate one place as your place of residence for this election. You may then ONLY vote in that area. The residence of a person is the place where the person lives and sleeps and to which, when the person is absent, the person intends to return. If you leave the area with the intention of making your residence elsewhere, you lose your residence (for this election) within the area. A person who attends an educational institution within or outside Alberta but maintains a permanent address in Milo may vote in here. (Paraphrased from Section 48 of the LAE Act)Voting Time for Employees As an employee, you are allowed 3 consecutive hours for the purpose of voting. Your employer may grant additional time for you to vote at their convenience. You are not to be deducted pay or penalized for this time away from work. (Paraphrased from Section 58 of the LAE Act.) If you would like to read the full legal description or for more details, please refer to the “Local Authorities Election Act” at the Village Office or visit www.municipalaffairs.ab.ca under “Municipal Elections” and scroll down under Related documents to find the LAE Act (Sections 47, 48 &58).

J) ^r\ W I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. How is that it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish. I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks. A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "If an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR". I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it.so I said "Implants?" Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a successful man is usually another woman. A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip. Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go. There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon and a shot of tequila. When tempted to fight fire with fire, remember that the Fire Department usually uses water. You're never too old to learn something stupid. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Some people hear voices. Some see invisible people. Others have no imagination whatsoever. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.Save an extra $1,500* a year Saving doesn’t have to be hard.

A farmer got pulled over by a state trooper for speeding, and the trooper started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the trooper got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The trooper stopped writing the ticket and said, "Well yeah, if that's what they are. I never heard of circle flies." So the farmer says, "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse." The trooper says, "Oh," and goes back to wri ting the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey. wait a minute, are you trying to call me a horse’s ass?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for law enforcement and police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass." The trooper says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."The Eden Alternative Philosophy This is an approach to changing the culture of care that our organization, Meadowlark Senior Care Homes is adopting. We hope you too will agree that it is a necessary change to help create a better life for the The need for changing the culture of Eldercare is upon us. The system is broken, not the people working within it. The past history of long-term care has made life somewhat better, but more needs to be done. What we need is a radical shift in the way we view aging. We need to shift our paradigm and put the Elder in the center of life and rethink how we surround them with the kind of daily life and support they desire. To create environments that are person-directed rather than being based on the needs of the institution. This revolutionary thinking is called the Culture Change movement and Dr. William Thomas, founder of the Eden Alternative, was one of the pioneers in this effort. Studies show that implementation of The Eden Alternative is a powerful tool for improving quality of life for those living in nursing homes. Also, in homes that have adopted the philosophy, there is often improved staff satisfaction and retention and significant decreases in the overuse of medications and restraints. Most importantly, there is a higher quality of life, meaning residents complain less and there are less behavioral problems. The Eden Alternative is also about changing the culture of long-term care organizations. The departmentalized, task-orientation of the current medical model has created a culture that is characterized by pessimism, cynicism and stinginess. By moving away from the top- down bureaucratic approach to management and moving decision making closer to the Elders, Edenizing organizations are rediscovering the true meaning of the sacred work of caregiving.

He lived with us at our farm during that time period. In the late 1960’s, he was killed in a car accident near Chestermere in which Ward Willard was a passenger and was seriously hurt. Ward attended the funeral service and burial from an ambulance and the rest of our family, also, attended. We feel we know which funeral home and graveyard that he was buried at but that funeral home denies that he was ever buried there. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact date of all of this. If you know anything about Brian, attended the service, have any information, (newsclippings, obituaries, service pamphlets, etc.), or just remember and are willing to give us a note of where it was and approximately when, please contact us a.s.a.p. We were Brian’s only family here and we feel it is wrong to not attempt to find out what has happened to his gravesite. Thank you for your help.

The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use “Big People” words,” she was always reminding them. She asked John what he had done over the weekend? “I went to visit my Nana". No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use "Big People" words!" She then asked Mitchell what he had done X took a ride on a choo-choo . She said. "No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use "Big People words . She then asked little Alex what he had done? "I read a book" he replied. That"s WONDERFUL!" the teacher said. “What book did you read?" Alex thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, Winnie the S T. F.M.

This workshop will focus on understanding your child's and you r own temperamental traits. We will develop strategies around how to deal with tantrums and power struggles when they occur as well as being able to handle mealtimes, bedtimes, sibling rivalry, and other situations. Being able to discover the power of positive parenting reduces the stress of parenting and makes it more rewarding and enjoyable.To be young again "Burt's Point of View" With us older folks, many times the expression and memories of "The good old days" often come up. We think back to when we were kids and the most dangerous weapons we ever brought to school were a slingshot or owned a BB gun. In those days, men teachers wore ties, women wore high hill shoes and kept you in after school if you didn't do your homework or didn't know your assignments. They threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed, and they did it, believe me! That was when being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited you when you got home? Basically, we were in fear for our lives, but it wasn't because of drive- by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc. Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! But we survived because their love was greater than the threat. It was a time when we had enough self-respect to be embarrassed & ashamed of bad behavior. And remember, the perfect age is somewhere between old enough to know better and too young to care. In those days, the girls wore gym uniforms that were down right ugly, the only impressive parts, were the girls themselves. Summer holidays were worth waiting for filled with bike rides, Hula Hoops, and visits to the pool, and eating Kool-Aid powder with plenty of sugar. Another weekend treat, going to the A&W for window conzirp vuifh t’hp nann. Playing baseball with no adults to help us kids with the rules of the game was more entertaining and no fights between parents and coaches.When a 57 Chevy was everybody's dream car.to cruise, lay rubber, kids went steady and watched submarine races. (In other words, parking for entertainment.) Or, when flour came in cloth sacks that were later used for home handmade designer clothes. In those days nobody owned a purebred dog. You thought 50 cents was a decent allowance or you would reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in. the car, in the ignition, and the doBrs were never locked. You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked and gas pumped, without asking, all for free every time. The young man who waited on you was polite and well mannered to boot. Years ago when we had mechanical troubles with our vehicles, we blamed it on the carburetor, now it's the computer's fault and we are charged big bucks even if it ends up being something completely different. In the days of the carburetor, we could keep a vehicle for a number of years without expensive repairs. Nowadays, because of the world of computerized vehicles, once off warranty, unavoidable expensive repairs can be more costly to repair a vehicle than its face value. Entertainment was laying on your back in the grass saying things like "That cloud looks like a .? And with all our progress, don't you just wish, just once, you could slip back in time and savor the slower pace, and share it with the children of today. A few more rememberable moments: candy cigarettes, restaurants with table top jute boxes, hi-fi's, 45 & 78 RPM records; favorite TV shows, Howdy Doody, The Lone Ranger, Roy and Dale, I Love Lucy and many more evenings of enjoyable entertainment. Then there were the days when it took 3 minutes for the TV to warm up and didn't have o wait for many minutes of commercials before your favorite program came on. I can remember when laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box. Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, 'Yeah, I remember that'? "So There!!" "And that was my Point of View".This summer was spent doing some organizing in our Archive Room. It is certainly very interesting to see the collection of local materials. We want to thank everyone who has cleaned out their closets and donated some priceless information. A special thank you goes to our local historian Ian Thomson for his continuous additions to our collection. The following list contains some of the topics that can be found down there.

The principal use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath because she only had a few. It was also because it was easier to wash aprons than dresses and aprons used less material. But along with that, it served as a potholder for removing hot pans from the oven. It was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used tor cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken coop, the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came, those aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids. And when the weather was cold Grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden, it earned all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men folk knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that 'old-time apron' that served so many purposes. REMEMBER: Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool. Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw. They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. I don't think I ever caught anything from an apron - but love.The Top 10 Reasons Why I Feel I Am Worthy of Being Your Village Councillor. 10. Sheldon and I have a personal stake in making and maintaining Milo as a sustainable community as we want to build our family here. 9. Many people know me already because of my volunteer activities both in the educational community and with my music business. 8. In order to make informed decisions, I like to take time to do research to better educate myself before coming to a final conclusion. 7. Being involved in sports, various events, growing up and then teaching in this area, I have developed a number of contacts with people, schools and businesses within and outside the County which gives me a large basis from which to get advice and ideas from. 6. As a social person, I believe that I am a good listener and I enjoy working with others in a number of ways. 5. As a University student, I had a position on our Education Student Government for 3 years (2 as a student representative and 1 as the President). Thus I am familiar with working on councils and By-laws, making and carrying motions and how meetings are run. 4. Being a teacher, I have experience working with government organizations and working under government legislation. 3. I have a variety of new ideas on how to involve more community members in the decision making process. 2. I believe that communication is the key in making any organization successful and will be implementing my ideas as to how to increase the council’s contact with our people. AND, LAST BUT NOT LEAST: 1. Asa child, I have fond memories of coming to visit my Godparents, Gord and Kathy Vooys, and always enjoying that special sight when we popped over that hill, to see the hidden surprise of cute little Milo. I hope to help others experience this too so they come back to “Make Memories In Milo!”. I hope that this has given you an insight into why I believe I would make a great Village Council representative for you, the Village of Milo.

It is nice to see the interest as most years it is a struggle to get 3 to run. Congratulations to all of you. I would like to serve one more term on council to try and bring some more people to our community. The subdivision is done and we will be able to sell these lots and hopefully attract new people. The Crystal Blue Development is coming along which I think will be beneficial to our community .Their advertising will bring people here for a look at no cost to us and maybe a few with stay. Our businesses cannot survive without population growth. Our school cannot teach without any students. Our fire department can't respond to your 911 call without volunteers. This is probably the most important election this Village has ever had. I also think that the next 3 years will determine if this Village survives as a Village or becomes a hamlet. It is extremely important that each of you eligible to vote does vote. Make your vote count on the future of this community. If elected I will continue to work on your behalf to preserve what we have/share our community with others/grow towards the future. Thanks for your support over the years. A special thanks to Steve and Wendy for their hard work on council.

Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? 2. Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? 3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? 4. If Webster wrote the first dictionary, where did he find the words? 5. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a whack? 6. Why does "slow down" and "slow up" mean the same thing? 7. Why does "fat chance" and "slim chance" mean the same thing? 8. Why do "tug" boats push their barges? 9. Why do we sing "Take me out to the ball game" when we are already there? 10. Why are they called " stands" when they are made for sitting? 11. Why is it called "after dark" when it really is "after light"? 12. Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected? 13. Why are a "wise man" and a "wise guy" opposites? 14. Why do "overlook" and "oversee" mean opposite things? 15. Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds? 16. If work is so terrific, why do they have to pay you to do it? 17. If all the world is a stage, where is the audience sitting? 18. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? 19. If you are cross-eyed and have dyslexia, can you read all right? 20. Why is bra singular and panties plural? 21. Why do you press harder on the buttons of a remote control when you know the batteries are dead? 22. Why do we put suits in garment bags and garments in a suitcase? 23. How come abbreviated is such a long word? 24. Why do we wash bath towels? Aren't we clean when we use them? 25. Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle? 26. Why do they call it a TV set when you only have one?My name is Colleen Deitz I live in the Milo Area and I am running for re-election as the School Board Trustee in Ward 2, Subdivision 1 for the Palliser Regional School Division. I first became trustee in 1998, at that time the Palliser Regional School Board served approximately 4200 students, and our student population was eroding. At the start of 2010 school year we now represent approx. 6500 students. We were able to accomplish this as a board that thought outside the box. We increased student programming, offered alternative programs, such as the Low German Mermonite Schools in Coaldale, Iron Springs, Barons and now Carmangay (by doing this we were able to reopen some of our schools that we had previously closed). And we have partnered with Christian Schools in Brant and Calgary, offering them alternative programs in the public system. RE-ELECT COLLEEN DEITZ FOR SCHOOL BOARD TRUSTEE With the increase in student population we now manage a budget of over $65 million. With this comes a much greater fiscal responsibility, to the public, the rate payers and the province. We have to work closely and openly with the Province, since they provide us with the majority of our funding. I believe that we cannot just keep asking the province for more money, as we only have one tax payer and that is you and I. We also need to work together with other departments in the Province such as Health and Child Services, so that we can provide better wrap around service that meets the needs of all children in the province and we can eliminate duplicate and sometimes triplicate programming. I have served as Chair for Zone 6 of the Alberta School Board Association for the past two years, so that I can obtain and be involved in and participate in the that provincial picture. At the local level I have served as Vice Chair for the past 9 years, plus shared the responsibility of sitting on other board committees with the other trustees. I have also sat on the Board for the Alberta School Board Insurance Exchange. Over the past 5 years our Accountability Pillar has improved to the point that we are within the top 3 of the 62 Boards in the Province. The Accountability Pillar provides school authorities with a wide range of data that paints a picture of how they are performing. It focuses on more than just student achievement, other aspects that impact student learning - such as safe and caring environments, parent involvement, and satisfaction with the education experience - are measured, providing a more complete perspective of the jurisdiction's overall learning environment based on the input of students, parents and teachers. I believe in small class sizes — as this keeps more teachers in front of students. We have proven this with our results in PAT and Diploma Test results. I believe in Rural Education - we are improving core and optional programming for students (by way of Video conferencing, and the CTS trailers that we were able to purchase with a grant from Alberta Infrastructure). This is documented in our Accountability Report. I believe in parents being the primary educator, I believe that our communities need our schools to stay viable, (and was extremely happy when we were able to reopen schools in Barons and Carmangay). There are many more changes coming to Education as we know it. The Minister of Education has opened the School Act, and this requires input from the public. In 2012 we will be coming to the end of a 5 year agreement with the Province and the ATA. I believe that if we all start working together now, we can reach better agreements for all of our students. I look forward to these challenges, and would hope that you would support me in the up and coming election. Remember all residents of the Ward 2, Subdivision 1 are able to vote for school board Trustees. Please act on your democratic right and vote.Meadowlark Senior Care Homes - a private government licensed residential care home located in the Town of Strathmore.
