Gordon Cranch Most of us are very familiar with the opening verse of the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." from the King James Version of the Bible. The Common English Bible says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." But I found yet another translation that puts the phrase as, "The Lord is my shepherd, I have all I need." I think that this a somewhat foreign concept to us as need and want drive all too much of our lives. We do have all we need, but constantly pine for a new way to spend our money and energy to try to obtain another expensive toy. I certainly am not exempt from this particular vice. I recently filled up a very large bag with clothes that I did not need. I would like to report that my closets are now down to a manageable size, but that would be a rather large lie. We hold onto things we will never use or wear again because someday we will need them.maybe. In my case, it will my son who will be cursing as he has to clean out his father's treasures. We have been keeping a close watch on the progress of the proposed senior's complex, hopefully to be built in Vulcan. On a tour of a similar residence in Claresholm, I was struck by the amount of space allotted, not that it is a bad size, just that it certainly would never accommodate even a fraction of all the accumulations of my lifetime. My favourite saint, St. Francis, said,"If you only have room for a few things, you need to know what those few things are." There is that exercise we sometimes get called on to perform, if your house was on fire and you could save only one thing, what would it be? Probably not my piano, but other than that, I couldn't even think that fast. What do I own that couldn't be replaced or that I couldn't do without? Precious little, I am afraid. I will leave the last word to St. Francis: "Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received - only what you given: a full heart enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage. See you in church! Church Services at Hope Church May 11th 9:00 May 25th 9:00Take a day trip to the past. Looking for a one day vacation that won’t break the bank, but will still amaze the kids, plus teach them a bit of Alberta history? Drumheller and area are a great choice. No long drives to from or around, an area packed with features, topography that looks to be from another world, and lots of places to stop and learn while being entertained. (And if you don’t think the entertainment part is important, you don’t have kids.) Here is my suggestion for an action packed day trip, with features in order. I’ve done all of these. Horseshoe Canyon: Truly the baddestof the bad lands, a walk here on any of the many hiking trails will bring home the harsh beauty of the cutbanks. A large sign in the parking lot explains the geology of the area, where striped rock reveals millions of years of Alberta history. If you can, aim for a visit at sunrise because the view can be spectacular. (And there are the signs pointing to the jail - great question starters. Answer carefully.) Royal Tyrrell Museum: Here is an opportunity to experience one of arguably the best museums on dinosaur history in the entire world. The Royal Tyrrell is unique not because of its location (smack in the middle of world class dino-bone hunting grounds) but also because of the tremendous interactive exhibits that will fascinate children of all ages (and adults!) Plan to have at least a half day here, with lunch (and nap time for the younger ones) after the tour and trip through the gift shop. The Hoodoo Drive: This beautiful 25 km. drive starts about 18 km southeast of Drumheller on Hwy 10, and is done as an “out & back”, with Wayne as the turnaround point. Along this drive you'll find the best examples of hoodoos: weird, eroded, mushroom-like columns of sandstone rock. This area was the site of a once-prosperous coal-mining community, and the Atlas Mine is now preserved as a provincial historic site. Take the side trip on Hwy 10X (which includes 11 bridges in 6 km) from Rosedale to the small community of Wayne, population 27 and fast approaching ghost- town status. Then choose a dinner, or quick drive home.

Milo Library Easter Easter, which celebrates Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, is Christianity’s most important holiday. It has been called a moveable feast because it doesn’t fall on a set date every year, as most holidays do. Instead, Christian churches in the West celebrate Easter on the first Sunday following the full moon after the vernal equinox on March 21. Therefore Easter is observed anywhere between March 22 and April 25 every year. Orthodox Christians use the Julian calendar to calculate when Easter will occur and typically celebrate the holiday a week or tow after the Western churches, which fol­low the Georgian calendar. http://www.historv.com/topics/holidavs/historv-of-easter - • T* •afS I-i/. & -> New Purchases Continued from pagel JUNIOR NON-FICTION What Was the Underground Railroad? by Yona Zeldis McDonough, Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill DVD’s & Blu-Rav Anchorman 2, American Hustle, Saving Mr. Banks JUNIOR DVD’s: Pirate Fairy BOARD BOOKS Hugs by Robert Munsch, Ten Tiny Toes by Caroline Jayne Church.

Please welcome Daniel Greenwood to this position as you will no doubt see him around. Daniel and his wife purchased a home in the Village last year and, liking the area so much, he has decided that he would like to “settle down” in Milo, We are very fortunate to attract such a qualified candidate for this position, especially one that sees the full potential of our region and the Village. The Village of Milo is changing its protocols on reading the water meters and automatically uploading those readings into the billing software. Given problems in the coding of this software, we were not able to issue a utility notice for March. As such, your next utility notice will be for March and April now that we have the glitches identified. The Village of Arrowwood is presently considering what it can do from a bylaw perspective to control erratic driving of ATV vehicles within the Village. While authorities have been notified and the concerns of residents have been relayed to them, a well- considered community standards bylaw could provide some support to enforcement. A community standards bylaw can also address resident concerns about wandering pets and vegetation that is overgrown onto sidewalks. Public consultation will be undertaken and the input of residents is certainly welcome on this matter. From time to time, the Villages receive inquiries into private real estate that may or may not be available for sale. Should you be interested, please notify the Village Office and your name will be added to a contact list for these inquiries. In the event that someone looking for property should contact the village offices, their name and contact information will be relayed to you for you to pursue at your own discretion. In other news, Milo has had an organizational meeting for the Municipal Planning Commission attended by the Village’s planner, Bonnie Brunner, to provide an orientation for members of the commission. The final details of 2014 infrastructure projects are being ironed out and work is expected to begin this summer. Sincerely, Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative OfficerNew Location Now Open!

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered? If money doesn't grow on trees then why do banks have branches? Since bread is square, then why is sandwich meat round? Why do you have to "put your two cents in" but it's only a "penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to? Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity? Why does a round pizza come in a square box? What did cured ham actually have? How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake up like every two hours? If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?

God vs. Satan in the USA It all started when God populated the earth with broccoli and cauliflower and spinach and green and yellow vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives. And Satan created McDonald's, and McDonald's brought forth the incredibly cheap double-cheeseburger, and Satan said to Man, “You want fries with that?", and Man said, "Super size them" - and Man gained pounds. And God created the healthful yogurt, that Woman might keep her figure that Man found so fair. And Satan froze the yogurt, and he brought forth chocolate, nuts and brightly colored sprinkle candy to put on the yogurt - and Woman gained pounds. And God said, “Try my crispy fresh salad." And Satan brought forth creamy dressings, bacon bits, and shredded cheese, and there was ice cream for dessert - and Woman gained pounds. And God said, "I have sent you heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil with which to cook them." And Satan brought forth chicken- fried steak so big it needed its own platter - and Man gained pounds, and his cholesterol went through the roof. And God brought forth running shoes, and Man resolved to lose those extra pounds. And Satan brought forth cable TV with remote control so Man would not have to work to change channels - and Man gained pounds. And God said, "You're running up the score, Devil," and then brought forth the potato, a vegetable naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy centre into chips and deep-fat fried them. Satan also created sour cream dip, and Man clutched his remote control, and ate the potato chips swaddled in cholesterol. And Satan saw that and said, "It is good," - and Man went into cardiac arrest. And God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery. So in the end, with no other options, Satan created private health insurance.MILO SCHOOL NEWS It felt more like April snow than April showers, but May has arrived and so have some flowers. During the month of April students participated in several dif­ferent events. April 3rd was a Dress Western Spirit Day, so many cowboys and cowgirls were seen mo­seying around the school. A delegation of five students and one staff member attended the Horizons Leadership Conference at Wil­son Middle School in Lethbridge on Thursday, April 10th. This was the first time these students have had the opportunity to attend this type of conference and all participants declared they would definitely do it again. The speakers and activities were interesting and en­gaging for both the elementary and junior high stu­dents. Everyone returned to the school with a re­newed sense of school spirit and pride. We were very proud to have these students represent our school and look forward to the ideas they will share with us in the future. Thanks to Mrs. Burgess for accompanying the students. On April 15th, John Bertschy, Kris Thornley, Nash Nelson, Kaden Booth and Jaxson Deitz competed in the annual District Badminton Tournament hosted by County Central High School. The students, coached by G-Nel Nelson, had been giving up their time after school for a few weeks in order to practice for this event and provided a challenge to all of their oppo­nents. Congratulations to Nash Nelson who placed 2nd in his division. Thanks to G-Nel Nelson for volun­teering to coach these students. April 17th was our last instructional day before Easter holidays. We welcomed Alien In-line Skating to our school for the day. It was an awesome experience for both teachers (well, only a couple were brave enough to try it) and students. The company provided instruction and all of the equipment needed for safe skating. Daniel was an excellent instructor and the students enjoyed learning and playing games. While the junior high stu­dents were skating in the afternoon, the younger stu­dents enjoyed participating in an Easter egg hunt. Thanks to Mrs. Thompson for getting the eggs ready and to the Students’ Union for finding tricky hiding places. Also, a big thank-you to the Milo School Foundation for funding the in-line skating experience. It was a great day! The Milo School Students’ Union welcomed us all back to school after the Easter break by treating stu­dents and staff to a pizza lunch. Yum! May 5 to 9 has been designated as Education Week in Alberta. The theme this year is “We Are Inspiring Ed­ucation’’. We have several events planned to celebrate the week. As a means of thanking everyone in our com­munities for supporting and inspiring our students' learn­ing, we are hosting a Community Tea on Thursday, May 8 at 2:00 pm. There will be treats and entertainment and we hope that you will all come out to join us.MILO SCHOOL NEWS Now, on to the last couple of months of learning and playing together!-a#* May 10,2014 Livestock, £mall Animal, Exotic Bird and Craft Sale!

The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, once asked, "Am I my brother's son?” God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Isaac, stole his brother's birth mark. Jacob was a patriarch who brought up his twelve sons to be patriarchs, but they did not take it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. Pharaoh forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in the Biblical times. Soloman, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines. Without the Greeks we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric, and Ironic. They also had myths. (A myth is a female moth.) One myth says that the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable. Achilles appears in The Iliad, by Homer. Homer also wrote The Oddity, in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses endured on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, then threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athens was democratic because people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn’t climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought with the Persians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men. Eventually, the Romans conquered the Greeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlic in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them. Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames. King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery. King Harold mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was canonized by Bernard Shaw, and victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense. In medevil time most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and versus and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head. The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discoveries. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh is a historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper. The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen.” As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted, "hurrah." Then her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo. The greatest write of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money and is only famous because of his plays. He lived at Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies and errors. In one of Shakespearis famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tried to convince Macbeth to kill the King by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miguel Cervantes. He wrote Donkey Hote. The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained. During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Fe. Later, the Pilgrims crossed the Ocean, and this was known as Pilgrims Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by the Indians, who came down the hill rolling their war hoops before them. The Indian squabs carried porpoises on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal for them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were bom. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this.3 GIRLS AND 3 GUYS CASH PRIZES CONCESSION BEER GARDENS MILO CO-ED BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT JUNE 20 - 22, 2014 $100 ENTRY FEE SH m.

Health officials say the declaration was prompted by several consecutive weeks in which new cases of measles disease have been confirmed. There have been 22 cases of measles in the province, but because the disease has a long incubation period, more cases are expected to emerge. The declaration means changes to the recommendations for routine immunization for children: The measles vaccine will be allowed early to help protect infants over the age of six months to just under 12 months. Those infants usually are not eligible for measles vaccine and therefore are not protected against the disease. Alberta Health Services recommends: ■ Infants six months of age to under 12 months of age are now eligible for an early additional dose of measles vaccine for short-term added protection against the disease. That includes babies living in the zones or travelling to those zones, or any out-of-province destinations with measles outbreaks. Those children will still need an additional dose of the vaccine once they are four. ■ Children age four and older who are attending daycares, day homes and schools within the regions and have not yet received their second dose of measles vaccine should receive it as soon as possible. The outbreak applies to the Calgary Zone (nine measles cases), the Edmonton Zone (six cases) and the Central Alberta Zone (seven cases), but not to any other part of the province. Health officials are urging all Albertans born in or after 1970 to make sure they have received both doses of the measles vaccine.Liberty School Register for May 1916 (Enrolment for the month TOTAL DAILY ATTENDANCE / 7.

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the man's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from his body because he was too skinny so the wife offered to donate some of her skin. The only skin on her body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from her buttocks. Owing to the sensitive nature of the situation, they all agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from. After the surgery, everyone was astounded at the man's new face. He looked more handsome than ever! All his friends and relatives raved about his youthful appearance.especially his mother! One day, while alone with his wife, and overcome with emotion at her sacrifice. He said, “Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me.
