To help alleviate this situation, Council is asking that anyone living on the north side of main street restrict their watering to "odd" days on the calendar, and those living on the south side of main street watering on "even" days. Thank you for your co-operation. On May 25 this photo was taken at the Pool Elevator In Milo. These "Heritage Cars" were funded by the Alberta Government Heritage Fund.

The Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant held an organization meeting in the Legion Hall in Queenstown on December 30, 1958, for the purpose of building a seed plant in Queenstown. As a result of this meeting the following made up the board of directors; President - Lawrence Monner Vice President - Art Nelson Secretary-tresurer - Walter Leadbeater Directors - Harvey Godkin Vic Bertrand Jessie Lahd Frank Durston Con Peterson Jack Bushell I am sure that this board worked very hard to get this plant under construction and ready for grain cleaning. On June 9, 1960, a motion was made by Jessie Lahd and seconded by Jack Bushell that they hire Mr. Louis Hagel of Biesiker to manage the new plant. Salary to be $300 per month starting August 1, 1960. Casual help recieved a wage of $1.25 per hour. Cleaning rates were $ .06 a bushell for seed and $ .05 a bushell for treating. The first year that the plant was in operation it cleaned 130,000 bushells of seed. On July 4, 1961, Mr. Hagel resigned, Mr. Norm Reynolds now became manager of the seed plant on August 1, 1961. Norm managed the plant until June 30, 1965. On July 28, 1965 a motion was made by Jack Bushell and seconded by Gilbert Vooys that we offer the position of manager to Edward Posein of Leduc, with the salary being $325 per month starting on August 15, 1965. The first week in August, Marilyn and Marilyn’s dad and I came down to look at the plant and house. I remember it very well as if it were yesterday. We had Marilyn’s dad’s brand new station wagon. We were approximately two miles from the seed plant when we heard a squeaking noise. Dad said stop "I think we have a wheel bearing going out on the car". I stopped. It was very, very hot that day with a wind blowing. When I got out of the car, the squeaking stopped. Started to drive, sqeaking started. After a few stops and starts we soon found out that it was not a wheel bearing but happy crickets singing in the ditches. We looked over the house and plant and decided to take the position. No trees and lots of wind is very hard to get use to. Marilyn said "How long are we staying here". Not too long, just give me one or two years so that I may get some experience and then we will bid on a plant closer to home, where there are lots of trees and very seldom a light breeze. Now a new plant, Marflyn, only one or two years to say that I run a brand new plant then off to greener pastures we will go. The plant was built for approximately $51,000 with a life expectancy of 30 years. We have met our objective and the }lant would have more years left in it, but tave very serious foundation problems because of poor drainage and no calcreate n the cement. The basement is beyond repair, so approximately five years ago it was decided by the board, with James Will then president, that we look Into building a new seed plant. The last two years have been very busy for the building committee which was set up by the board. The building committee members are: Keith Godkin - president, Doug Bushell - secretary, John ivers, James Will, Blahne Sukut, Gary Nelson and Keith Deitz are directors. We looked at many seed plants and made trips to Calgary, Airdrie and Edmonton for building and ideas of a new plant. Its not hard for board members and building committee to talk about things that should and have to be done, but what about Doug who is writing these things down, then going home and telling Sharleen to put them in letter form, so that they make some sense to someone. I would like to give Doug and Sharleen a very special thanks for what they have done, and to each and every other board and building member who gave so freely of their time and effort. This past year we cleaned approximately 250.000 bushells of grain. We also treated 75.000 bushells of seed. Our cleaning rates now are approximately $ .25 per bushel! for cleaning. Treating rates are $ .79 per bushell for wheat, $ .68 per bushell for barley and $ .50 a bushell for oats. (What happened to the nickel treating in I960). To be a shareholder in 1960 you needed a 100 share. To be a member in the new seed plant, you need a 500 share. We are now in the position to sell shares to new and old members. With all our old members buying a share for $500 and getting a few more new members, our plant should be clear and free of all debts. C.V.S. Engineering of Calgary will now build our new plant with the plant costing approximately one million dollars. Watch us, we will be there by approximately November or December 1992. ★t********************* Sod Turning Ceremony The sod turning ceremony was held on July 1,1992 at 10:00 a.m. at the new location of the Milo-Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant, which is just north across the highway from Milo and east of the County shop.sod turning ceremony cont’ The dignitaries in attendance were Barry McFarlane, MLA, Walter Wilderman, representing the county Agriculture Committee, Dennis Stretch, D.A.

It was decided to donated $200.00 to S.T.AR.S. The final plans were made for the church service that we were doing on June 7 for the Milo and Arrowwood churches.

There are lives that are errant and aimless And there are depths that just hang by a hair. I arrived in Whitehorse Sunday night and by Monday noon, we were on the road to Dalton Post, with a truck load of gear. Dalton Post lies halfway between Harnes Junction and Harnes Alaska, and was built during the gold rush days. All that is left now is 5 or 6 log cabins standing, and the reuins of many more. It is now a fishing campsite on the Tatshenshini when the salmon spawn. We got to Dalton Post at 4:30 p.rru, unloaded our gear, and the truck driver headed back to Whitehorse. Tents were set up and a fire built, then Blaine and I started inflating the raft and framing it with steel for the seat oarlocks, and all the gear had to be suspended with netting and nothing touched the floor of the raft. By noon the next day, all was ready and we pushed off into the rough waters for our 180 mile trip. The first day the three of us wore complete rain gear, and could not use our cameras as we went through an eight mile canyon of very rough water. We all paddled strenously to control the raft as it dropped Into eight foot boils in the canyon, the spray completely covered the boat, so as soon as the river levelled off, two of us would bail madly to get rid of the water In the raft before the next encounter. Camp Terro was just below Detour Creek and the routine of unloading the raft and packing our gear to a suitable camp site was the order for the next ten days. One section of the sixteen foot raft had a slight leak and had to be pumped every morning. These rafts are extremely tough, but a marauding porcipine’s teeth caused a small leak. The third day the water was relatively calm, so we didn't need any rain gear. The weather was a bit cold at times, with lots of wind, but the scenery was beautiful. We drifted up close to a cow moose in the river, and later stopped to look around an old campsite. But we were quickly back in the boat, after hearing breaking bush and a growling noise in the trees. Our third camp was at Sediment Creek where we took a three hour hike up on a ridge to photograph the surrounding scenery, while taking pictures a wolverine came down the tral towards us, but soon disappeared. A big bull moose came out of the bush across the river from us, but quickly went back when it saw us. The fourth day, we walked ahead to check out rapids and donned our rain gear again for a few miles. Our next camp was O’Conner Creek, as there was no place to camp for a long stretch beyond here. Blaine and Mary are excellent cooks and coffee makers with surprises each night. The camping was very good, but the fishing very poor. All the streams and rivers are muddy and s8ty, so when we foustd a clear stream we filled up our water supply. We are now in B.C. and past a hunting lodge today, so had a good look before going on. We also past the valley leading to Windy Craggy. This mountain has the second richest copper ore, also platinum and gold in the world, and there’s lots of contraversy over whether it should be developed as all the ore would have to be trucked through Alaska, and the river is a very important salmon spawning ground. Day five and still perfect weather. Lots of Bald Eagles on the river, and the mountains are beautiful. Stopped again to check out rapids before going through. The river is swifter but afl major rapids are behind us. We have another scenic camp site, and the last on the Tatshinshirtf for tomorrow we intercept the Alsek river and finish our trip on it. Another day and stiil clear skies and beautiful weather. Blaine has never travelled this river without rain, and low clouds before. We are now in the Alsek river and in Alaska. Our camp tonight is at the foot of a scenic glacier. We are staying two nights and will spend the day hiking - saw a black bear across the river. Day seven a marmot came close to our camp and was attacked by a Bald Eagle but managed to hide in the rocks. Fresh grizzly tracks went by during the night. We then hiked up to the base of the glacier, saw ptarmagen in the rocks. After supper a wolverine came close to our camp. The next afternoon we arrived at Alsek Lake which were full of small icebergs from a large glacier calving along one side. We paddled for over an hour amongst the ice and camped on Gateway Knob - halfway across the lake The sounds of crashing ice and beautiful icebergs made this one of our prettiest campsites. The next day the sky was dear, but a strong wind from the east put all the ice around our raft. After an hour in the ice floes we were back in the river for our final run to Dry Bay on the Pacific Ocean. There is a fish camp here and an airstrip. We arrived and set up camp, washed the raft and dismantled it, as al the gear has to be very compact for our charter plane in the morning.Our plane came at 1 1:00 a.m. to pick us up. This river trip was a once in a lifetime thrill, and the flight back to Whitehorse gave us a chance to relive our memories. The plane flew back up the Alsek and Tatshenshini on a perfect cloudless day, then over the mountains to Whitehorse. rafting The Tatshenshini continued. "There's a land, oh! it beckons and beckons" "And I want to go back and i will" Community Condolences We extend oun sympathy to the.

Tom Bateman (continued from last month) As the fall migration increased the numbers of ducks and geese in our area, the hunt intensified correspondingly. We compared our brother's and Dad's and even some sister's ability as hunters-gathers. My older sister Barbara, could shoot like a veteran hunter. I always believed she directed projectiles with her mind because nothing or no one could defy her strong mindedness. One late October evening I was hunting anything huntable along our creek. After venturing a couple of miles I found myself in a fall snowstorm that was almost a total whiteout. It was a dandy blizzard that made stalking waterfowl a cinch. The only thing not completely white was the creek that contrasted the whiteness with almost black water. Darkness was also approaching but I kept hunting. The creek widened into a small marshy area that usually produced a couple of mallards. I could approach boldly because it was very difficult to see and the noise of the blizzard wiped out any sounds I would make. The birds however had been educated by my constant pursuit so they were wary. I peered through the blizzard and could hardly believe my good fortune. Two Snow geese materialized on the creek less than twenty yards away. They would be impossible to see except they swam into the dark water of the creek. Scarcely able to contain myself I shouldered my shotgun and rendered two fat Snow geese down to possession. I only got wet up to my derriere retrieving the geese which was a small price to pay for such a sizeable reward. I plunged homeward through the blizzard, dragging my trophies, wet, cold, tired and dirty but filled with the satisfaction of accomplishment. I stopped to rest under a bridge where there was a bit of reprieve from the blizzard. In the growing darkness I examined the Snow geese. Something's wrong here — Snow geese don't have yellow bills. These Snow geese don't have black wing tips. It took all the ener gy i c ould muster to change the beautiful Snow geese into reality. I had reduced our neighbors tame duck population by two. Forty five years later, I still am a little embarrassed by that error. Maybe its related to the things I have experienced as a wildlife officer during the last 25 years. It is always easy for me to identify with the eager young hunter who makes a mistake. In 1948 another of our neighbors, coincidentally the same one who owned the ducks I shot for geese, spotted some Snow geese feeding in a stubble field. He never had hunted much but maybe Pad decided to get even with whoever shot his tame ducks. He had an old side by side shotgun with external hammers and Damascus barrels, all of which meant absolutely nothing to him. One hammer was broken so he really had a very awkward single shot. His wiry frame made him a natural for stalking geese and he slithered into position. Once again "goose fever" took possession of his mind and replaced all common sense and caution. By peeking out from under his hat he could see the heads of two of the geese about 40 yards away. They were looking at him but if he could launch himself, he could probably run toward them and gain about 6 or 8 yards before they could get airborne. He coiled and took off toward the geese. After six or seven steps, he stopped and let go with his single barrel. He could hear the buckshot hit the birds, but the geese never moved or changed expression. He heard what sounded like hysterical laughter coming a thistle patch close by. The hunt was obviously over2 and he left the scene doing the first one hundred yards in a little over four seconds. Then he accelerated. Never before had he encountered decoys. The strange reaction of the geese unnerved him and he made the decision to retire from hunting during the second hundred yards. Every fall a strange sense of urgency invades my inner being. My neck muscles tighten in back causing an upward look that lasts three months. I have introduced hundreds of people to the art of waterfowl hunting. An experience that is evaluated on the entire experience, not just numbers or size of birds collected. The older I get the more I treasure a decoy spread full of geese that are not aware of my presence in a well constructed blind. That is success, being close to wildlife. Sometimes we shoot some geese. Some times we don't. But we love the experience and my two boys Steve and Ron and I have welded a relationship that is permanent because we have hunted together, and we value the wildlife and love the whole experience together. 74jfuvi " VULCAN GLASS Your one stop glass sliop " WINDSHIELDS - WINDSHIELD-REPAIRS “ MIRRORS - SAFETY GLASS " SASH REPAIRS "SEALED UNITS “SCREENS " PLATE GLASS HOURS •< MONDAY - FRIDAY 8:30 ajn^-S:30pjru< SATURDAY 8:30 ajn.-12;30pjn. ntRCt; Sam 4 85-2.483 EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN WOMEN ********************************** The June meeting of the ELW was held at 2:00 p.m. in the church basement with 7 members, Pastor Lew 8 Dorothy present.

We are going to help with Kim Nelson's reception in October. Thank you notes are to be sent to Clara Nelson and Monica Monner for the plants at the church. Marilyn served a delicious lunch. Venture Teams International was at the church on Sunday evening to share the message of faith in Jesus through music, puppets and the Word. They have a very inspirational message for all.Effective June 1/92, Joanne Monner has been hired as the Milo Community School Co-ordinator. She will be working in conjunction with the teachers to co-ordinate school and community activities. Organizing curriculum resources and co-ordinating field trips, etc. will be part of her job now. leaving the teachers more time to do what they do best — teach our children. She will be setting up the Community Resource Inventory Bank. This is a file of all the members of the community and their talents and areas of expertise. There may be another survey sent out to the community to compile some more information tor this. Remember: everyone has teaching as well as learning capabilities, so we can all learn from each other. Joanne is looking forward to working with the community to keep the Milo School a positive learning environment. RECYCLING DAY We would like to thank everyone who helped, or participated in our Community Recycling Day on June 13. Come rain and no shine, we still had a pretty good response. David Zaytsoff very kindly donated his time, energy, truck, gas, and expertise during the day and on Monday when he transported for us. Thank you much!! Our paper went to IG Paper Recycling, the glass went to Canasphere, and the tin went to Navaho Metal. We also have a list of other recycling places for many other things to be recycled such as plastics, old batteries, etc. Cans were stomped on, mutilated and crushed during our can crushing contest by our local experts - Grade 5-9 students - all in an dffort to win some super prises. Congratulations to the winners - Brady and Jim!! Tossing the coin into a recyclable can was easier for some than others. Chris Nelson won that one. Way to go Chris!! This day was just a fun, environmental exercise to help keep our community clean and boost awareness; not a fund raiser. PLEASE, keep sorting and collecting for our fall Community Recycling Day.

A LETTER FROM HOME Dear Son: I am writing this slow cause I know you can't read too fast. We don't live where we did when you left. Your dad read in the^paper that most car accidents happened within 20 miles of home, so we moved. I can't send you the address as the last family that lived here took the numbers with them for their next hJhouse so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine! But,the first day I put four shirts in it, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since. It rained here only twice last week; three days the first time, and four days the second time. About the coat you wanted me to send you; Aunt Sue said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with them heavy buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets. We got a bill from the funeral- home, and it said that if we didn't make the last payment on Grandma's funeral, up she comes. About your sister; she had a baby this morning! I haven't found out whether it's a boy or a girl so I don't know if you are an aunt or an uncle. Your Uncle John fell in the whiskey vat. Some men tried to pull him out but he fought them off and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days. Three of your friends went off the bridge in their pick-up. One was driving and the other two were in the back. The driver got out, he rolled down the window and swam to safety. The other two drowned; they couldn'.t get the tailgate open. Aunt Mable is knitting you some socks. She would have sent them by now but I told her that you had grown another foot since she last saw you so she has to knit another one. Not much more news this time. Nothing much has happened. Love Mom.V V The Milo Community School would like to thank all the numerous community volunteers for their help with our County Elementary Track Meet.
