(Jordan r&mruA You don't need anything too heavy to read in these the long summer days so I thought we might explore something different this month. I don't think I could come up with anything more different that the "terms of venery”. I remember watching the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and his guest, Tony Randall (of The Odd Couple fame). It seems that each time Randall appeared on the show, he would bring a collective noun to try out on Johnny (and vice versa). The one I remember in particular was "an exultation of larks". I know that you all are familiar with some of the terms of venery (collective nouns used for a group of.). The easier ones such as a school offish, a pride of lions, a swarm of bees. but what of some of the more exotic and interesting terms? I am going to give you some examples that I find interesting and then, as there often is, there will be a quiz to test your knowledge of this arcane subject. We all know the proper term for a group of canines is a pack of dogs, but if they are young, they are a litter of pups. And where did the terms a hill of beans or a dose of salts come from? Seeing as we live in a farming community I am sure you are all familiar with the terms: a herd of horses; a string of ponies; a brood of hens; a run of poultry; a flock of sheep; a team of oxen but what about some of the odder terms? A gaggle of geese (on the ground or in water) become a skein of geese, if they are flying. A rafter of turkeys? A drift of hogs? A sounder of swine? A drove of cattle? A trip of goats? How many of those did you get right? I am going to share a few of my favourite collective nouns and then on to the quiz. Some are more suspect than others but fun none the less. A tabernac of French Canadians. A sesame of locksmiths. An explosion of baby boomers. A murder of crows. A babel of cell phones. An unkindness of ravens. Now for the quiz part. Just fill in the blanks correctly to impress everyone with your knowledge. of cats. of kittens. of quilters. of witches. of eagles. of heavy smokers of owls. of electricians. of finches. of nudists. of bears. of social climbers peacocks. of credit cards. Answers will be found somewhere in the newsletter. One of the best collective nouns that I found was an aarmory of aardvarks. But I leave you with a flight ofyesterdays, a twinkling of todays and a promise of tomorrows. And if there were more than one vicar in the area, we would be a prudence of vicars. See you in church!T’s Saloon/ Milo Hotel Beach Volleyball Tournament THANK YOU Thank you to all the teams that entered the tourney, Colleen and Allan Bartsch of Prairie Perfection Catering for their fantastic rink burgers etc., and the individuals and staff who helped to make the volleyball weekend possible.

The award recognizes 20 southern Alberta families for their outstanding contributions to Alberta's agricultural sector. Representing Vulcan County Deitz Family Milo, Alberta There was a time when just about every Prairie town had a grain elevator. As the big grain companies consolidated their storage into larger and larger terminals, the elevators began to disappear. Today, there aren't many left to be found. There's one in Milo, however, thanks to the 2012 BMO Farm Family representing Vulcan County — the Deitz family. As Lloyd Deitz, the family member most involved with the elevator, tells the story, the structure might have been demolished if the train tracks leading to it had been left. But when the tracks were torn out, the company that had operated the elevator decided it wouldn't represent any competition, and put it up for sale. The Deitz family needed the storage, and the town wanted the elevator to stay, so things worked out. The changing times, Lloyd continues, are producing opportunities that are making the elevator an even better business proposition than the family had originally hoped. The sheer scale of the giant grain terminals has taken away their ability to blend different grades of grain. The Milo elevator doesn't have that problem because it has smaller bins. "If an end-user wants a certain grade, we can make exactly what they want," Lloyd says. It wasn't as though the Deitz family didn't have plenty to do already.The farm was founded in 1919 by Jack Deitz when he returned from the First World War and purchased land eight kilometres east of Milo. The family is still on the same land, and William, Jack's youngest son, still lives there with his son, Wes. Between the two of them, they tend to the outfit's herd of 110 Limousin-cross cows on 2,000 acres of pasture, selling the calves in the fall. There are also 6,000 acres devoted to growing a rotation of canola, wheat, durum, barley, and peas. William's sister, Maxine, lives in another house on the home place and has an important role in the farm's operations, while his other two sons, Lloyd and Gerald, live in Milo. Gerald is married to Ginger and has two children, Nicole and Jaxson, who are beginning to be a big help on the farm. William's daughter, Lynn, is married to Terry Burgess and lives about 32 kilometres west of town. They have three children — Corey, Kari and Jody, who is married to Andrew Looy. "Everybody's part of the operation," Lloyd notes. "Everybody has a part, and they do their part." The family still treasures the memory of their mother, Lois, who passed away in 2006. Most of the town of Milo owes its existence to the community's volunteer spirit, Lloyd says, citing the community hall, library, skating rink and curling rink as examples. Regardless of whether it's the Recreation Board, the Agricultural Society, the water co-op, the seed cleaning plant, the library, fall fair, or curling club, he says, "everybody in our family has had a stint or two or three on all of them. We like to get involved with the whole community." Crvpto-quote: This is a good one quote for the sportsman. V R G E K B K X E M G s K GY O L O X 0 Y E U A X R G Y X U T K.

The Summer Reading Program is for preschool to grade 5 and starts at 1:30 and ends at 3:00. So far we have covered themes of "If You Meet a Monster'', "Folklore" and "Furry Fun". The program consists of reading stories that fit with the theme, doing a craft, having a snack and then doing an activity. We then read a couple more books and do a draw for who gets to pick a prize. Each kid's name is put into a big prize draw, one for every time they come to the program, and that gets picked on the very last day. On August 14 the Chinook Arch girls are coming to do the theme "Once Upon a Time" so make sure you come to that one! You're all encouraged to come to the library every Tuesday for some Summer Reading fun! it starts at 5:00 and goes until 9:00. So far it has consisted of watching books- turned-movies, eating pizza and hanging out, The Youth Night is for grade 6 and up, however a Milo Youth Night Hunger Games is currently in the planning stages and will soon take place. Many more fun activities are also being planned, so try to make it if you can, it'll be loads of fun, and keep reading!August 2012 Milo Library Pinterest (www.pinterest.com') Pinterest is a virtual pinboard that allows you to organize and share all the beautiful and interesting things you find on the web.

I am currently studying history and education at the University of Lethbridge so working with the different archives in the Milo Library has helped me gain a better understanding of some of the local history in the area. So far I have had the opportunity to go through some information about the Race Meet that used to be held at Lake McGregor and read through the minutes from the meetings of the Lake McGregor Memorial Park Association. It was interesting to read the names of the people involved and how much happened in the late 1950s and 1960s in Milo. There are some really unique things stored in the archives room, like cheques from the 1920s written for $ 1.00 for a church rental. This week I have started to go through old Milo yearbooks and it was exciting to be able to match up some of the names I had found in the Race Meet and the Lake McGregor Memorial Park Association with faces on the pages of the yearbooks. I am really looking forward to spending the next four weeks learning more about Milo’s past and the events that took place here and in the surrounding area.

Besides special contests listed in the Fall Fair booklet entries, there will be special prizes for "Corn Husk Friends" (below) and "Vegetable Art". Children's entries will be broken up into several age group categories and there will be an adult category as well for each contest. CORN HUSKS are just CORN LEAVES from around the ear of corn. You can air dry some yourself (endless supply at the LIONS BBQ) and soak before the doll is made so they are pliable or make the doll with fairly fresh leaves and let the doll dry for the fair. YduM You can visit the website at the bottom of the page for step-by-step instructions. Even easier is to go to you tube and watch videos of the craft. These dolls were popular children's toys 100 years ago. Mali* a Corn HusJC Friend Save the corn husks you peel away from corn. Now you can make a little friend! What You Need: dried corn husks (dry your own or buy at a craft store), about 6 per friend wide, shallow container of water towel heavy string or yarn scissors decorative items (construction paper, glue, markers, buttons, yarn, etc.) What You Do: I) Soak the dried corn husks in the water for about an hour. 2) Take four husks and lay them on a towel, pointed sides up. fie them together at the bottom. 3 ) Fold down two of these husks on each side. Tie a string about 1" (2.5 cm) from the top to make the head. 4-) Roll a new husk tightly, and tie each end with a string. Stick this rolled husk in between the husks hanging down below the neck. This makes the arms. Tie a string below the arms to make the waist. 5) To make shoulders, wrap another husk diagonally across the chest and back. Wrap a second husk across the other side of the chest and back. Tie another string around the waist to hold these in place. (i) To make legs, divide the husks hanging down. Tie at the knees and ankles. To make a dress, leave the husks untied 7) Decorate your corn husk friend.

You are hot and sweaty, covered in dust, lawn clippings, dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in the crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who-knows-what and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Home Depot to get something to help complete the job. Depending on your age you might do the following: In your 20's: Stop what you are doing. Shave, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet some hot chick while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the pretty girl running the register. In your 30's: Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married the hot chick so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The cute girl running the register is the kid sister to someone you went to school with. In your 40's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Brute Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to Home Depot. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The hot young thing running the register is your daughter's age and you feel weird thinking she is spicy. In your 50's: Stop what you are doing. Put on a hat; wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dog crap in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The Cutie running the register smiles when she sees you coming and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Bubba’s Bait & Beer Bar and it says, “I Got Worms.” In your 60’s: Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog crap off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing hangs out the hole in your pants. The girl running the register may be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure. In your 70's: Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Home Depot until the drug store has your prescriptions ready, too. Don't even notice the dog crap on your shoes. The young thing at the register stares at you and you realize that OOPS, your underwear IS hanging out of the hole in your pants. In your 80's: Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you need to go to Home Depot. Go to Wal-Mart instead and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. Fart out loud and you think someone called out your name. You went to school with the old lady who greeted you at the front door. In your 90's & beyond: What's a home deep hoe? Something for my garden? Where am I? Who am I? Why am I reading this? Who farted?Beach Volleyball Tournament Winners July 27-29 Second Place: Milo Hotel Team Back row (I to r): Nathan Phillips, Courtney Zary, Trish Phillips-Thompson, and Melissa Ginther. Front row: Russell Heather, Deanna Heather First Place: Sean Lacoursier Team10 Neat Things About Mosquitoes - adapted from albertagardener.net 1. Blood suckers or nectar suppers? In spite of what you've heard, mosquitoes don't eat blood. They eat nectar from flowers - and sip sugar from fruit and take other nourishment from decaying matter. It's true, though, that they do suck blood -- at least the female does. And who can blame her? She is only trying to produce and nourish her eggs like any good mother. 2. No, they don't bite. Okay, maybe I'm putting too fine a point on this, but technically, mosquitoes don't bite, they suck (well, they do suck, don't they?!) They insert their stinger into your skin, pumping in a little bit of saliva laced with an anesthetic and an anti-clotting chemical. This is very irritating to many people and causes that unbearable itch. A little rubbing alcohol should help relieve the sting. 3. Stinky feet? Grab the Deet! Your fatal attraction for mosquitoes is not "sweet" blood. It has been shown that mosquitoes are attracted to the bacteria that cause smelly feet, which is why you get more attacks there than on your legs. They also like the odour of perspiration and, if you are a hot blooded creature, that heat will also attract them. Wear light coloured clothing to discourage them, stay away from floral scents and wash your feet with non- perfumed soap. Mosquitoes prefer blood types O and A and are most attracted to children. 4. Messianic! Mosquitoes are so light on their feet that on landing not even a spider can detect them when they blunder onto a web. They can walk on water and they can fly between raindrops. Their wings beat 250 times per second. 5. The better to smell you with, my dear. Mosquitoes have an acute sense of smell. They can detect the carbon dioxide you exude, but they also like the scent of floral perfumes and deodorizers. No matter how clean you are, they can smell you at 30 metres (100 feet). 6. The better to see you with, my dear. Mosquitoes don't see detail all that well, but they have compound, panoramic eyes made of motion-detecting cells - their eyes take up most of their head space - and they can see your mass at 30 metres (100 feet). Their eyes also deliver images of infra red heat. At three feet, thermal receptors on the tips of their hairy antennae are activated to home in on their hot blooded target - you. When it is humid, this heat receptor range triples! This may be why we perceive that mosquitoes "bite" more before a storm! 7. The better to hear you with, my dear. The hearing of a mosquito is so acute that the non-stinging males can hear the faintest beat of a female mosquito's wings. When they do, they synchronize their wing beat to match that of their prospective mate. While compelling, the encounter is brief -15 seconds in mid air. Since the males live only about 10 to 20 days, they need to make the most of their time. Females on the other hand, can live up to 100 days, most surviving four to eight weeks, which may be why they take longer to synchronize their wing beat with —that of the^ male.3. Vicious little beasts. A few million years ago, mosquitoes were three times the size they are now. (Today, the world's largest mosquito apparently resides at Komarno, MB. It has a 15-foot wingspan, rotates with the wind and is made of metal.) Mosquitoes are everywhere, though, and there are 2,500 to 3,000 species, 75 of which exist in Canada. Some of them specialize in rodent, frog or snake blood, some go after horses, some like birds. Culex species take blood from both humans and birds (crows, ravens, magpies) which is how they spread West Nile virus. Culex is most active at dawn and dusk but not during the day. West Nile virus can also infect horses. 9. Kill or be killed. Because they are the vector for so many deadly diseases (West Nile virus, malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever and encephalitis), mosquitoes are blamed for more deaths than anything else. They can even infect dogs and cats with heartworm. They don't, however, spread HIV, which virus is destroyed in the mosquito gut. Deet is the most effective deterrent. Zappers and all those other devices simply don’t work and can even attract more mosquitoes to your yard! 10. Prevent breeding. Culex varieties are the backyard mosquitoes in Canada. The female will lay her eggs in places where water will collect -- in dry mud near ditches, in cavities in trees and so on - or in water, but it must be still, stagnant water. An aeration device will keep eggs from developing. The life cycle from egg to adult takes four to 10 days, so change that birdbath water twice a week. Some eggs can survive in a dormant state for up to five years or even longer in cold or dry ground, waiting for the right conditions to revitalize. Most mosquitoes remain within a mile of their birthplace, but they can fly a great deal further looking for blood. WHY OUR HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE SO HIGH!!! Harry had shingles. Those of us who spend much time in a doctor's office should appreciate this! Doesn't it seem more and more that physicians are running their practices like an assembly line? Here's what happened to Harry: Harry walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist asked him what he had. Harry said: "Shingles.” So she wrote down his name, address, and medical insurance number and told him to have a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse's aide came out and asked Harry what he had. Harry said. "Shingles.” So she wrote down his height, weight, and a complete medical history and told Harry to wait in the examining room. A half hour later a nurse came in and asked Harry what he had. Harry said, "Shingles.” So the nurse gave Harry a blood test, a blood pressure test, an electrocardiogram, and told Harry to take off all his clothes and wait for the doctor. An hour later the doctor came in and found Harry sitting patiently in the nude and asked Harry what he had. Harry said, "Shingles.” The doctor asked, "Where?” Harry said, "Outside on the truck.

Well, I’ll give an outline of my trip as how things went. I will start out by saying, we had a wonderful time and no serious problems, all went well. We arrived, Brenda & I, on a Friday, June 15th, at Robert Stanfield Airport Vi hour drive outside of Halifax; my uncle and mudder were there to pick us up, (good job it wasn’t on a Thursday, 10:00 A.M. is her shopping day at Sobey’s). My sister, Judi from Toronto, arrived a few days later. As usual, everybody was happy to see each other. The next day I did a few chores around the house and yard, just an ordinary size city lot in beautiful up-town Dartmouth. I shouldn’t say just an ordinary lot, it’s a dead end street and the closest to the end the older the owner is and mudder owns the last house. (Just by coincidence, of course.) It was a usual Father’s day celebration, went to my aunt and uncle’s place and lobster was served, not sure what else, I had only one entree in mind. The following day, I helped my uncle level his front concrete steps that has sunk over the years, for payment, he took me to a bar, (no, I didn't hit the bottle), much better, he ordered two big platters full of mussels, and that was quite a treat. The highlight of visiting mudder, Judi, Brenda, plus myself, were there to help her to celebrate another “One of Thoooose Days”, she just turned 91 years young. Again it was a special occasion for many who attended, cousins, aunts & uncles and friends that haven’t seen each other since mudder*s 90th. It was quite a bash, about 35-40 in all, not as many as last year, we rented the Fire Hall whereas her house is too small to accommodate that many guests in rainy weather and hired a catering service with loads of delicious foods. Not only was there enough to feed all the guests, but enough left overs during our stay, and left overs for mudder for a while. Even though the three of us went through a fair amount of preparations for this event, hall arrangements, renting a PA system, setting up tables and such, it was for a worthwhile cause. Mudder was in her glory, the whole family together again and the excitement of receiving many hugs from everybody. The PA system was very elaborate, with two whopping big speakers and it had a mind of it’s own. The mike and CD player operated off the same urite, one problem, switch the CD on and it was at full volume, for sure, nobody fell asleep. I sure loved watching people enjoying themselves, mixing and mingling, and talking about old times.I here were relatives that 1 haven't seen since mudder's 90th. Again, I was called on to be the MC; it must have been that Dale Carnegie course. I expressed my appreciation for everybody coming, and of course, all the lovely foods and “Bday” cakes (There goes my diet!). I also, told a few funny's to bring a bit of levity to the occasion. All in all it, was a time to remember for all. A few of us stayed to help clean up the hall even though it wasn't in the agreement. (Should have read that thing!!) With the left overs, some went in mudder’s freezer, kept out some for the next few days. The rest we gave away to relatives and told the catering crew to take some home for themselves. Somebody, obliviously miscalculated. Mudder used to belong to a political party (don’t know which one), but that didn’t stop her from planning to attend the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia’s “Garden Party” to celebrate “Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IPs Diamond JubileeUnfortunately, mudder wasn’t feeling up to par, so I graciously attended as her representative. I dressed up in my Sunday best, and I must say I looked rather snappy, it must worked because I managed to have my photo taken with the lieutenant governor’s wife. It was quite an event, even though there were actually people there that I didn’t know, but the bright side, the hors d'oeuvre were excellent. (Again, there goes my diet!) Next week, a good friend and his wife will be flying in from Calgary. To celebrate their home coming, his sister is putting on a special lobster dinner, which I'm looking forward to. This time, I’m not worrying about my diet because lobsters aren't fattening, they don’t have any calories, no fat and a whooping 28 grams of protein per average lobster. Even when dipped in hot melted butter dripping off each piece they are still extremely healthy. “And that is the absolute truth, nobody, and I mean nobody is going to convince me otherwise!” And if that s not enough, my uncle who is a veteran Merchant Marine, invited me to a special presentation and dinner honoring them lor their past services, and, it’s about time, I would indeed consider it a very special evening. Also attending with my uncle Louis is my aunt Elsie their daughter Nancy, son-in-law John and myself with a lady friend__you read me right___ a lady friend!! I’m looking forward to a wonderful adventurous historical event. (And again, there goes my diet). There is always something, or somebody, to keep me occupied, there is the trip to the country before I return to Milo. Then I did take on a monumental job, rebuilding a bridge for mudder, no, not a drawbridge, steel bridge, covered bridge or miles long, but a pretty little bridge spanning a two foot brook big that became a daunting task with serious rains, hurricane warnings, and running out of paint. Good foods, good friends, great experiences, what more could one want. “So There!!” And that was "My Point of View.”Hairpins SALON Offering Cuts for women, men and children.

You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally.I assumed you had stolen the car." The Yellow Light The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. Very Confused An old nun who was living in a convent next to a construction site noticed the coarse language of the workers and decided to spend some time with them to correct their ways. She decided she would take her lunch, sit with the workers, and talk with them. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in f rustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects. She put her sandwich in a brown bag and walked over to the spot where the men were eating. Sporting a big smile, she walked up to the group and asked, "And do you men know Jesus Christ?" They shook their heads and looked at each other, very confused. One of the workers looked up into the steelworks and yelled out, "Anybody up there know Jesus Christ?" One of the steelworkers yelled down , "Why?" The worker yelled back, "Cause his wife's here with his lunch."Newborns Children Families Weddings Pets & Live Stock Events Commercial Farmsteads Photo Restoration Graphic Design Shooting professionally for 10 years 403-599-0009 gregoire@wildroseinternet. ca --- www.uvihe.ca ___________ http://jgproject366. blogspot. comMilo Community School 2012-13 Milo Community School will be open to accept new registrations on the mornings of August 27—29th and also on the morning of August 31st.

Phone 403-599-3817 Fax 403-599-3793A life without left turns By Michael Gartner Michael Gartner has been editor of newspapers large and small and president of NBC News. In 1997, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing. My father never drove a car. Well, that's not quite right. I should say I never saw him drive a car. He quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years old, and the last car he drove was a 1926 Whippet. "In those days," he told me when he was in his 90s, "to drive a car you had to do things with your hands, and do things with your feet, and look every which way, and I decided you could walk through life and enjoy it or drive through life and miss it." At which point my mother, a sometimes salty Irishwoman, chimed in: "Oh, bull --- !" she said. "He hit a horse." "Well," my father said, "there was that, too." So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car. The neighbors all had cars — the Kollingses next door had a green 1941 Dodge, the VanLaninghams across the street a gray 1936 Plymouth, the Hopsons two doors down a black 1941 Ford — but we had none. My father, a newspaperman in Des Moines, would take the streetcar to work and, often as not, walk the 3 miles home. If he took the streetcar home, my mother and brother and I would walk the three blocks to the streetcar stop, meet him and walk home together. Our 1950 Chevy My brother, David, was born in 1935, and I was born in 1938, and sometimes, at dinner, we'd ask how come all the neighbors had cars but we had none. "No one in the family drives," my mother would explain, and that was that. But, sometimes, my father would say, "But as soon as one of you boys turns 16, we'll get one." It was as if he wasn't sure which one of us would turn 16 first. But, sure enough, my brother turned 16 before I did, so in 1951 my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend who ran the parts department at a Chevy dealership downtown. It was a four-door, white model, stick shift, fender skirts, loaded with everything, and, since my parents didn't drive, it more or less became my brother's car. Having a car but not being able to drive didn't bother my father, but it didn't make sense to my mother. So in 1952, when she was 43 years old, she asked a friend to teach her to drive. She learned in a nearby cemetery, the place where I learned to drive the following year and where, a generation later, I took my two sons to practice driving. The cemetery probably was my father's idea. "Who can your mother hurt in the cemetery?" I remember him saying once. For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in the family. Neither she nor my father had any sense of direction, but he loaded up on maps — though they seldom left the city limits — and appointed himself navigator. It seemed to work. The ritual walk to church Still, they both continued to walk a lot. My mother was a devout Catholic, and my father an equally devout agnostic, an arrangement that didn't seem to bother either of them through their 75 years of marriage. (Yes, 75 years, and they were deeply in love the entire time.) He retired when he was 70, and nearly every morning for the next 20 years or so, he would walk with her the mile to St. Augustin's Church. She would walk down and sit in the front pew, and he would wait in the back until he saw which of the parish's two priests was on duty that morning. If it was the pastor, my father then would go out and take a 2-mile walk, meeting my mother at the end of the service and walking her home. If it was the assistant pastor, he'd take just a 1-mile walk and then head back to the church. He called the priests "Father Fast" and "Father Slow." After he retired, my father almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along. If she were going to the beauty parlor, he'd sit inthe car and read, or go take a stroll or, if it was summer, have her keep the engine running so he could listen to the Cubs game on the radio. (In the evening, then, when I'd stop by, he'd explain: "The Cubs lost again. The millionaire on second base made a bad throw to the millionaire on first base, so the multimillionaire on third base scored ") If she were going to the grocery store, he would go along to carry the bags out — and to make sure she loaded up on ice cream. As I said, he was always the navigator, and once, when he was 95 and she was 88 and still driving, he said to me, "Do you want to know the secret of a long life?" "I guess so," I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre. "No left turns," he said. "What?" I asked. "No left turns," he repeated. "Several years ago, your mother and I read an article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they turn left in front of oncoming traffic. As you get older, your eyesight worsens, and you can lose your depth perception, it said. So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn." "What?" I said again. "No left turns," he said. "Think about it. Three rights are the same as a left, and that's a lot safer. So we always make three rights." "You're kidding!" I said, and I turned to my mother for support. "No," she said, "your father is right. We make three rights. It works." But then she added: "Except when your father loses count." I was driving at the time, and I almost drove off the road as I started laughing. "Loses count?" I asked. "Yes," my father admitted, "that sometimes happens. But it's not a problem. You just make seven rights, and you're okay again." I couldn't resist. "Do you ever go for 11?" I asked. "No," he said. "If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad day. Besides, nothing in life is so important it can't be put off another day or another week." My mother was never in an accident, but one evening she handed me her car keys and said she had decided to quit driving. That was in 1999, when she was 90. She lived four more years, until 2003. My father died the next year, at 102. They both died in the bungalow they had moved into in 1937 and bought a few years later for $3,000. (Sixty years later, my brother and I paid $8,000 to have a shower put in the tiny bathroom — the house had never had one. My father would have died then and there if he knew the shower cost nearly three times what he paid for the house.) He continued to walk daily — he had me get him a treadmill when he was 101 because he was afraid he'd fall on the icy sidewalks but wanted to keep exercising — and he was of sound mind and sound body until the moment he died. A happy life One September afternoon in 2004, he and my son went with me when I had to give a talk in a neighboring town, and it was clear to all three of us that he was wearing out, though we had the usual wide-ranging conversation about politics and newspapers and things in the news. A few weeks earlier, he had told my son, "You know, Mike, the first hundred years are a lot easier than the second hundred." At one point in our drive that Saturday, he said, "You know, I'm probably not going to live much longer." "You're probably right," I said. "Why would you say that?" he countered, somewhat irritated. "Because you're 102 years old," I said. "Yes," he said, "you're right." He stayed in bed all the next day. That night, I suggested to my son and daughter that we sit up with him through the night. He appreciated it, he said, though at one point, apparently seeing us look gloomy, he said: "I would like to make an announcement. No one in this room is dead yet." An hour or so later, he spoke his last words: "I want you to know," he said, clearly and lucidly, "that I am in no pain. I am very comfortable. And I have had as happy a life as anyone on this earth could ever have." A short time later, he died. I miss him a lot, and I think about him a lot. I've wondered now and then how it was that my family and I were so lucky that he lived so long. I can’t figure out if it was because he walked through life. Or because he quit taking left turns.MILO ALBERTA VILLAGE OF POST OFFICE July 31, 2012 As of August 1st, the Village of Milo Post Office has hunting licenses available for sale, the migratory game bird hunting permit.
