It was great to see everyone arrive back to school on January 7 and to hear all about their Christmas excitement. We welcomed in the New Year by recognizing and celebrating Milo Community School's vision statement. This vision statement is something that we believe in and live at our school. Our vision statement is: Milo Community School is a Community of Learners. This statement is posted on the bulletin board by the office with photos that show that that is indeed who we are. Anytime you walk through our school you will see learning that includes: teachers with students, students with students of the same grade and of different grades, Learning Assistants with students, teachers with teachers and Learning Assistants, and community members with students and staff members. Our focus is to create lifelong learners by supporting each learner to be the best that he/she can be. To keep that vision in our minds students worked in mixed grade level groups to create posters to show what being a learning community looks like. We invite you to be a part our Learning Community, so feel free to join us any time.January is always a focused learning month as we are fresh from holidays and there are very few distractions. We did, however, have the opportunity to show school spirit through engaging in two spirit days this month: hat day and backwards day. We are looking forward to the school ski trip taking place on February 7 at Nakiska. It is exciting to see that so many parents are able to join us. We continue to make use of the ice in the skating rink. The grade 123s and kindergarten students have really been enjoying improving their skating skills. The grade 10 students at Milo School are now taking a "Foods" course, so if there is anyone who is interested in supervising these students during their cooking time, please let us know. The times and days can be somewhat flexible. The supervisor is not responsible for assigning marks You may even ge' or teaching, the only responsibility is to make sure everything is done safely, the odd taste (not that anything they make will taste odd) now and then! The junior high students will be dedicating 2 classes a week, Monday and Wednesday, (from 1:22-2:05) to working on the yearbook. If you would like to help or have any pictures of events and activities please let us know. All of us here at Milo Community School are hoping that the groundhog does not see his shadow on February 2. We are ready for spring! Happy Groundhog Day!MILO SCHOOL 2013 Sprins Flower Fundraising Program Thunk you for your support of our Flower Sales campaign.

Those who didn't, will be in disbelief and won't understand how true it is. 1) You can name everyone you graduated with. 2) You know what 4-H means. 3) You went to parties at a pasture, bam, gravel pit, or in the middle of a dirt road. On Monday, you could always tell who was at the party because of the scratches on their legs from running through the woods when the party was busted. (See #6.) 4) You used to 'drag' Main. 5) You whispered the 'F* word and your parents knew within the hour 6) You scheduled parties around the schedules of different police officers, because you knew which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't. 7) You could never buy cigarettes because all the store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old enough, they'd tell your parents anyhow.) Besides, where would you get the money? 8) When you did find somebody old enough and brave enough to buy cigarettes, you still had to go out into the country and drive on back roads to smoke them. 9) You knew which section of the ditch you would find the beer your buyer dropped off. 10) It was cool to date somebody from the neighboring town. 11) The whole school went to the same party after graduation. 12) You didn't give directions by street names, but rather by references. Turn by Nelson's house go 2 blocks to Anderson’s, and it’s four houses left of the track field. 13) The golf course had only 9 holes. 14) You couldn't help but date a friend's ex-boyfriend/girlffiend. 15J.

Analemma. The earth travels around the sun in an elliptical path that describes a slender figure eight. Scientists and others have used carefully staged photographs to show how this happens. The result looks like a carelessly thrown string of pearls. The path of the earth is called analemma from the Greek, meaning pedestal of a sundial. cold and austere, motionless for all intents and purposes. It is just our point of view that causes them to appear to twinkle. Small fluctuations in the air density of earth's atmosphere are the cause of this illusion. Scintillation is more likely to be visible closer to the horizon than directly overhead. 4. Sunset. The beauty of the setting sun is a camera magnet like no other. The sky may turn pink or orange or shades of lavender as the sun slips below the horizon. What actually happens is that as the sun slowly sinks nearer to the horizon, the atmosphere bends the sunlight down toward the surface, lending us an extended view of its light. The amount of refraction or bending of the light is dictated by such things as temperature, water vapour in the air and even by tiny amounts of dust. 2. Kissing the sun. In January, the earth is closest to the sun, but this kissing of the sun is not felt in the northern hemisphere where the northern face of the earth is turned coyly away from the sun. Later, in July, when the sun is farthest away from the northern half of the earth, it brazenly turns its northern face in the sun's direction and we have summer. 3. Scintillation. Flirting women are said to scintillate in that they twinkle and send off rays of beguiling heat to the object of their desire. The stars do nothing so sexy. In fact, they are rather5. Sunrise. Most of us are asleep or too busy to look when the sun rises. Just as we see the sun set even after it has dipped below the horizon, we see the sun rise before it actually reaches its full position above the horizon. Once again, refraction is the cause. Near the poles, the sunrise seems to take longer due to the shallow angle at which the sun crosses the horizon. In addition, cold air is denser than warm air so has a greater refraction index indicating a greater bend of rays. 6. Sun always rises in the east? From September to March, the sun always rises in the northeast. From March to September the sun rises in the southeast quadrant. At the March and September equinoxes, the sun rises in the due east for everyone on earth. 7. Why is the sky blue? Rayleigh scattering is the scattering of light or other electromagnetic radiation by particles smaller than the wavelength of light. Sunlight is white but this Rayleigh scattering causes diffusion of the various wave lengths in the light so that the shorter blue light waves are more scattered high in the sky than the longer red waves. The eye perceives the sky as blue. At sunrise or sunset, however, the light comes at us from a different angle. Most of the blue and green light is scattered out and we see the longer red waves. 8. Sunrise vs. sunset colours. The usually brighter colours we see at sunset are due to the build-up of dust and vapour in the atmosphere in the evening. Scattering of light off ice crystals or other particles in the air is responsible for halo effects, sun dogs and coronas. 9. Plant light. Plants use mainly the blue and red zones of visible light for photosynthesis. In the early stages of growth, plants use more of the blue spectrum light. In the flowering stage, they use more of the red-orange spectrum. 10. Day length. In mid-January, the days are about 9 1/2 hours long in Toronto; almost nine hours long in Winnipeg; and 8 3/4 hours in Calgary. Churchill, Man., on the other hand, is getting only 7 1/2 hours of sunlight at this time of year, while down south in Miami, the sun is out for 10 hours and 50 minutes, rising at 7, but setting at 6!;?

The Window from which we look A young couple moved into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast. The young woman sees her neighbor hanging the Wash outside. "That laundry is not very dean ", she said. "She doesn't know howto wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap. " Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, The young woman would make the same comments. About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a Nice dean wash on the line and said to her husband: Look, she has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this." The husband said, "J got up early this morning and Cleaned our windows." And so it is with life. What we see when watching others Depends on the purity of the window through which we look! Predictions for 2013 from The Seer of Queenstown It turns out that 2012 was a year full of promise, and also a year that didn't care about keeping all those promises. We lived through bad weather, bad news from Brooks for the cattle people, and the usual comfort of knowing that everyone in Ottawa cares about us deeply. Sol thought I'd pick up the old Crystal Ball, and give you the benefit of my years of experience in being wrong about the year to come. The following are predictions based on feelings (men occasionally have those, but like to deny it) rather than any real data, so they have as much chance as anybody's to be right. Here we go. First, the demise of the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly - nobody really noticed the big change, and I think it will continue to be the non-event it has been so far. Spring Wheat-up 4.5% Durum - up 8.8% as high protein becomes rare Barley - flat (like bad beer) Flax - down 6 % Canola - up only 3.9% because of high supply Beef- up a bunch in the grocery stores, up about 15% mid summer when the effects of the US drought hit. Chicken - who cares (because nobody around here raises chickens) but up 20%. Pork - down through the floor as the US dumps into Canada Availability of rail cars - way up if you are dealing with the right broker - like they're on Mars if not. Calgary Flames - 3 games behind Edmonton (sorry.) Justin Trudeau - his hair improves, but not his ideas of what it really takes to run a country - he just keeps going out there and rubbing up against 40 year old plus women from Ontario, Quebec and B.C. Alberta PC's - only slightly better than the last few years - their leader is slightly smarter, but the rank and file and Ministers are NO smarter, and have NO new ideas - and we are stuck with them for a while. Pipelines to the US - nowhere - the US fracs oil and gas from the Dakotas etc., and our oil looks even dirtier to the world than right now, so. Alberta Oil - conventional continues OK, but gas stays low, while China is our only friend of the Oil Sands (and China is NOT our friend - they will spend more money in Africa where there are no rules and they can buy government cooperation) Real Estate in Milo & Queenstown - what do think I am, a Psychic? - I'm psychotic, remember?JOKES, JOKES, JOKES My husband bought me a mood ring the other day. When I'm in a good mood it turns green. When I'm in a bad mood, it leaves a red mark on his forehead. A husband and wife were shopping when the wife said, "Darling, it's my mother's birthday tomorrow. What shall we buy for her? She would like something electric." The husband replied, "How about a chair?" My wife has trouble opening jars. /Apparently, that involves a different set of muscles than slamming doors. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back beer. 'w r\jrsjr\jr\j Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak. /V/VIV/V/V LONGEVITY: Married men live longer than single men - - but married men are a lot more willing to die. <V/V<VA</V Just think, if it weren't for marriage, men would go through life thinking they had no faults at all. IM/V/\//V/V A man was waiting in the doctor's office. The doctor came in and said, "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that you have an inoperable brain tumor. The good news is our hospital has just been certified to do brain transplants and there has been an accident right out front and a young couple was killed and you can have which ever brain you like. The man's brain is $100,000.00 and the woman's brain is $30,000.00." The patient could not help but ask, "Why such a large difference between, the male and the female brain?" The doctor replied, "the female brain is used." How Old Are You? The biggest disadvantage of old age is that you can't outgrow it. She's getting crows feet around her eyes. And I'll tell you, that crow has big feet! You know you're past your prime when every time you suck in your gut, your ankles swell. I don't like to do things now that I did 20 years ago -- like look in the mirror. Age always corresponds inversely to the size of your multi-vitamin. My neighbors have been married for 60 years. They look like identical twins. One of them wears a dress. I don't know which one.Restaurant reopened on Cluny Hilltop as Penney's Cafe Open Daily from 6:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Phone number for take-out: 403-901-4652 or 403-361-1874 Daily Specials Homemade Food Menu has a wide selection, with more added on a regular basis.

Two new additions to TgT \ r: V\6 c \ -#.\ : periodic table of elements: ^ \ \ * .1v*e<L--T4A * Element name: WOMAN Symbol: WO Atomic weight: (don't even go there) Physical properties: Generally round in form. Boils at nothing and may freeze at any time. Melts whenever treated properly. Very bitter if mishandled. Chemical properties: Very active. Highly unstable. Possesses strong affinity with gold, silver, platinum, and precious stones. Volatile when left alone. Able to absorb great amounts of exotic food. Turns slightly green when placed next to a shinier specimen. Usage: Highly ornamental. An extremely good catalyst for dispersion of wealth. Probably the most powerful income reducing agent known. Caution: Highly explosive in inexperienced hands. Element Name: MAN Symbol: XY Atomic Weight: (180+/-50) Physical properties: Solid at room temperature, but gets bent out of shape easily. Fairly dense and sometimes flaky. Difficult to find a pure sample. Due to rust, aging samples are unable to conduct electricity as easily as young samples. Chemical properties: Attempts to bond with WO any chance it can get. Also tends to form strong bonds with itself. Becomes explosive when mixed with KD (Element: Child) for prolonged periods of time. Neutralize by saturating with alcohol. Usage: None known. Possible good methane source. Good specimens are able to produce large quantities on command. Caution: In the absence of WO, this element rapidly decomposes and begins to smell. When I was ready to pay for my purchases of gun powder and bullets the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the gun registry people running amok, I did just as she had instructed. When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my credit card. I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear! The Newfoundland Department of Employment, claimed a boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent to Burin to investigate him. GOVT AGENT: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them1'. BOAT OWNER: "Well, there's Clarence, my hired hand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. Then there’s the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Lamb's rum and a dozen Labatt Lite every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally". GOVT AGENT: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one". BOAT OWNER: "That'll be me.
