Village Administration Milo, Alberta.My the Rev. Gordon Cranch When this newsletter reaches you, I will be somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean, hopefully still afloat. This is my 65th birthday gift to me and we will hope that I am a good sailor, rather than spending a lot of time with mal d' mer. Over the years, I have often thought about whether we can believe what the Gospels tell us is true. What if the disciples were just spinning us a tale that really did end in a garden tomb? I am always assisted by the fact that the disciples, the authors of the Gospels, and St. Paul himself, had nothing to gain from propogating a hoax. The were not modern televangelists preaching for money. They were not a group of politicians putting a spin on an unfortunate incident. Chuck Colson, a man who was convicted of crimes in the Watergate conspiracy in the 1970's, says that his experience in the Watergate scandal gives him reason to believe that Jesus Christ rose physically from the dead. In Watergate, no one faced death if they were found to be part of a conspiracy. At worst, they would receive a prison term. Yet it took less than a month for the conspiracy to break up, with several conspirators willing to speak and reveal all those involved in order to receive lighter sentences. When the Apostles proclaimed Jesus as Messiah, they risked their very lives. The Jews hated the idea of Jesus as the Messiah. The Romans wanted no rival to Caesar as Lord. The Apostles said that they knew Jesus was the Messiah because he rose from the dead. If they had invented the story as a way to get attention, it would not have been long before one of them, threatened with death, would have said, "You know, Jesus was a wonderful man, but he is still in the tomb. We wanted him to be the Messiah, but he has died." If the resurrection was not a physical event, the Apostles would surely have decided that a pretty story was not worth dying for. But, in fact, every Apostle except St John was executed, and even John endured years in prison. They were utterly convinced that they had met Jesus in the flesh after Good Friday. He was not a cherished memory, so powerful that it was as though he were still alive. They had not seen a spirit. Everyone in those days believed in ghosts. Seeing the spirit of one who had died was not that special, not special enough to be worth dying for. These are not heavy theological reasons for believing in the Resurrection, but then I am not a heavily theological person. I have a simple faith and that faith includes the resurrection to eternal life. And, for me, that is enough. See you in church.PARTS & SERVICE TO ALL MAKES AND MODELS Hot tub covers, Cover lifters, Chemicals, Salt systems, Sauna sales & installations, Stoves, Steam generators, Gazebos Other services offered: Ponds and all water features, Irrigation systems, Water purity systems Commercial and residential sales, service, parts and installation Shane Gregoire (Just moved to Milo purchased Alice Bartsch’s house) Certified Factory Trained Master Technician with over 20 years experience bonded and insured 403-599-0009 No Bull Pricing & Warranty No call out fee within 30km’s of Miloi i Milo Library ii Mother’s Day Book Sale Week of May 8th-nth 10:00 am - 5:00 pm A large donation of cookbooks and gardening books for sale Tables of $2.00, $1.00 and Free Door Prizes and Cookies w 3 * r Get a gift for your Mom, Grandma or DaughterFive lessons about the way we treat people 1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student, and had breezed through the questions until I read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50's, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor, "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say hello.” I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. 2. - Second Important Lesson - Pick-up in the Rain One night, at 11:30 p.m., an older African- American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960's. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's' bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole. 3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those who serve. In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growingimpatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were two nickels and five pennies. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had to have enough left to leave her a tip. 4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The Obstacle in Our Path. In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition. 5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts. Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.image.

The Grandma Test I was out walking with my grandson. He picked up something off of the ground and started to put it in his mouth. I took the item away from him and I asked him not to do that. “Why?” My Grandson asked. "Because it's been on the ground. You don't know where it's been, it's dirty, and probably has germs," I replied. At this point, my grandson looked at me with total admiration and asked, "Grandma, how do you know all this stuff?? You are so smart." I was thinking quickly and said to him, "All grandmas know stuff. It's on the Grandma Test. You have to know it, or they don't let you be a grandma." We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but he was evidently pondering this new information. "Oh.I get it!” he beamed, “So if you don't pass the test you have to be the grandpa". “Exactly”, I replied with a big smile on my face. The Judgement A man died and went to The Judgment. They told him, “Before you meet with God, we should tell you — we’ve looked over your life, and to be honest you really didn’t do anything particularly good or bad. We’re not really sure what to do with you. Can you tell us anything you did that can help us make a decision?” The newly arrived soul thought for a moment and replied, “Yeah, once I was driving along and came upon a person who was being harassed by a group of thugs. So I pulled over, got out a bat, and went up to the leader of the thugs. He was a big, muscular guy with a ring pierced through his lip. Well, I tore the ring out of his lip, and told him he and his gang had better stop bothering this guy or they would have to deal with me!” “Wow that’s impressive. When did this happen?” “About three minutes ago,” came the reply.Laualucr Never underestimate a child's ability to get nto more trouble.

I think I' II go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches, rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse. Mom then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish and brought the cat inside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TV’s , hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals. About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." He scratched and farted, and .without another thought, went to bed. Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer.?MILO LIONS CLUB NEWS COMING EVENTS MAY 2012 May 2 -Supper Meeting 7:00 pm May 16 - Supper Meeting 7:00 pm June 7 - STARS Charity Golf Tourney, Calgary Donations • Calendar proceeds to Milo Hall • S6000 to Milo Lions/ Milo Library Archive project Activities 5 members attended Nanton Interclub April 2 Dinner Theatre (Ladies’ Night) April 15 Thanks to everyone that joined us for this very enjoyable evening.

I was back in the Nova Scotia again to spend time with mudder and to visit relatives and friend last month. Even though I'm a "Bluenoser”, I can't tell you very much about the place, other than as a lot of you know, it is well known for it's fishing on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the many favorite spots I enjoy going to when visiting, is the Fisherman's Cove Boondocks Restaurant, with a scenic walk on their boardwalk pathway, one of Nova Scotia's oldest and newest tourist destinations. Also, you can watch the fishermen come in with their daily catch and can buy their fish right here. The restaurant is very fancy with lots of artifacts from the olden days. They also have a beautiful gallery where you can purchase the art of local artists and other shops where you can purchase souvenirs, Maritime art crafts, unique folk art, and much more. For many years, lobster fishermen used lobster traps constructed of wooden slats and a mesh to hold their catch in. Due to fishing regulations, a new design of trap was designed constructed of a medal mesh and coated with a thick layer of plastic to prevent oxidation of the medal from the salt waters in the fishing banks. They are connected to each other and to a buoy with rope. A lobster trap must have in it a IVgxlVA inch-sized escape hole to allow under-sized lobsters to escape the trap. Every trap must also have a "self-destruction device" to allow its door to fall open after it has been out too long. Don't know what or why the traps would be left unattended for any period of time; fishermen depend upon their catch for a living. Traps are sunk to the ocean bottom with weights and are baited with dead fish. (Doesn’t sound very appetizing to me!)Attached to every trap is a buoy labeled with the lieense number and name, or initials, of the fisherman who has set, or lowered, the trap. With the use of traps, a fisherman could collect anywhere from 100 to 1000 lobsters per day. Altogether around the shores of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland there are 11 different dates for lobster fishing regulations through-out the year. Okay, getting way from their main industry, a bit of history. Being on the water harbor during the war days, it gave the enemy an excellent opportunity to attack Halifax by ship. It was in 1869 that Citadel Hill was formed, designed, came about or whatever, to protect Halifax from such attacks. In the fort on top of the hill there were, and still are, 12-pounder and 32-pounder smoothbore guns and 7” rilled muzzled-loading guns. Regardless, they must be plenty powerful to use as defense when it must be at least a couple of miles or more from the fort to the shore alone as you can see. Over the years it has been restored and become a famous historical site. Also, in the picture with ail the nice soft green grass, in my younger days, it was a great romantic location in the evenings. Even though this fort has proven to be a defense liability, Halifax didn't take in consideration an unexpected enemy. December 6, 1917 just after 9am dawned clear and sunny in Halifax, a Belgian relief vessel and a French munitions carrier collided in Halifax Harbor during World War I. (It makes me wonder whose side they were on!!!) The munitions ship drifted towards the pier and after twenty minutes blew sky high. More fires started and spread, and a tsunami wave was created. Thousands were killed and injured and much of Halifax was destroyed. To add to the disaster, a snowstorm started the next day, and lasted for nearly a week. How time has changed, it the power goes out during a snowstorm now, it's a major disaster. So there you have it, a bit of history about Halifax itself, now, what 1 think is much more important to me, family, relatives and friends. As I said in the beginning, I'm a “Bluenoser”, nickname tor a person born and raised in Nova Scotia, therefore my usual three week visit there isn't anywhere long enough to visit everybody. This June mudder is having her 91st birthday, and it will be a celebration gathering, even though I'll see many, I feel person to person chat over a lunching at a restuarant. home cooked fish dinner, homemade grilled cheeze sandwitch, homebaked beans, a heel of homebaked bread, a cup of tea or whatever I'm offered means a lot to me. I want people to know I care and they are imporant. And that was my "Point of View"^Invisible k Fence Brand Western Canada The best in Electronic Pet containment and behavioral products.

It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, girls, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future and nothing could stop him. Over the phone his mother told him, "Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday." Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. "Jack, did you hear me?" "Oh sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It's been so long since I thought of him. I'm sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago," Jack said. "Well, he didn't forget you. Every time I saw him he'd ask how you were doing. He'd reminisce about the many days you spent over 'his side of the fence' as he put it," Mom told him. "I loved that old house he lived in." Jack said. "You know, Jack, after your Father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man's influence in your life," she said. "He's the one who taught me carpentry," he said, "I wouldn't be in this business if it wasn't for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I'll be there for the funeral," Jack said. As busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser's funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own and most of his relatives had passed away. The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time. Standing in the doorway Jack paused for a moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture. Jack stopped suddenly. "What's wrong, Jack?" his Mom asked. "The box is gone," he said. "What box?" Mom asked. "There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he'd ever tell me was, 'The thing I value most'," Jack said. It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it. "Now I'll never know what was so valuable to him," Jack said, "I better get some sleep. I have an early flight home, Mom." It had been about two weeks since Mr. Belser died. Returning home from work one day Jack discovered a note in his mailbox. "Signature required on a package. No one at home Please stop by the main post office within the next three days," the note read. Early the next day Jack retrieved the package. The package was old and looked like it had been mailed a hundred years ago. The handwriting was difficult to read, but the return address caught his attention. "Mr. Harold Belser" it read. Jack took the package out to his car and ripped it open. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack's hands shook as he read the note inside. "Upon my death please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bennett. It's the thing I value most in my life". A small key was taped to the letter. His heart raced as tears filled his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the finely etched casing, he unlatched the cover. Inside he found these words engraved: "Jack, Thanks for your time! - Harold Belser." "The thing he valued most.was.my time." Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his office and cleared his appointments for the next two days. "Why?" Janet, his assistant, asked. "I need some time to spend with my son," he said. "Oh, by the way, Janet, thanks for your time.”Remember: 1. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 2. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you. 3. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 4. You mean the world to someone. 5. If not for you, someone may not be living. 6. You are special and unique. 7. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you hang in there and do your best, sooner or later, you will get it or something better. 8. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it. 9. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 10. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you. 11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 12 . Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy . 13. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are.

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Julie and I are just roommates." About a week later, Julie came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: Dear Mother I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner. Love, John Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read: Dear Son I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Julie. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom Perks of reaching 50 or being over 60 and heading towards 90! 01.
