    As many as 14 percent of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery are readmitted within 30 days. Readmission is usually the result of morbidity and may lead to death. The purpose of this study is to develop and compare statistical and genetic programming models to predict readmission. Patients were divided into separate Construction and Validation populations. Using 88 variables, logistic regression, genetic programs, and artificial neural nets were used to develop predictive models. Models were first constructed and tested on the Construction populations, then validated on the Validation population. Areas under the receiver operator characteristic curves (AU ROC) were used to compare the models. Two hundred and two patients (7.6 percent) in the 2,644 patient Construction group and 216 (8.0 percent) of the 2,711 patient Validation group were re-admitted within 30 days of CABG surgery. Logistic regression predicted readmission with AU ROC =.675 ±.021 in the Construction group. Genetic programs significantly improved the accuracy, AU ROC =.767 ±.001, p .001). Artificial neural nets were less accurate with AU ROC = 0.597 ±.001 in the Construction group. Predictive accuracy of all three techniques fell in the Validation group. However, the accuracy of genetic programming (AU ROC =.654 ±.001) was still trivially but statistically non-significantly better than that of the logistic regression (AU ROC =.644 ±.020, p =.61). Genetic programming and logistic regression provide alternative methods to predict readmission that are similarly accurate. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.Afessa B, 2005, INTENS CARE MED, V31, P1537, DOI 10.1007-s00134-005-2751-9; Biesheuvel CJ, 2004, J CLIN EPIDEMIOL, V57, P551, DOI 10.1016-j.jclinepi.2003.10.011; Efron B., 1993, INTRO BOOTSTRAP; Engoren M, 2008, GENET PROGRAM EVOL M, V9, P39, DOI 10.1007-s10710-007-9050-x; Engoren Milo, 2005, Chest, V127, P579, DOI 10.1378-chest.127.2.579; HANLEY JA, 1983, RADIOLOGY, V148, P839; Hannan EL, 2003, JAMA-J AM MED ASSOC, V290, P773, DOI 10.1001-jama.290.6.773; Hannan EL, 2011, JACC-CARDIOVASC INTE, V4, P569, DOI 10.1016-j.jcin.2011.01.010; Jacob C., 2001, ILLUSTRATING EVOLUTI; Kotini A, 2005, THEOR BIOL MED MODEL, V2, DOI 10.1186-1742-4682-2-37; Koza J., 1992, GENETIC PROGRAMMING; Lahey SJ, 1998, CIRCULATION S2, V98, pII35; Lee JL, 1980, CIRCULATION, V61, P508; Liu Y, 2004, P 8 IEEE S HIGH ASS, P54; McNally P, 2005, Ir Med J, V98, P240; Murphy BM, 2008, EUR J CARDIOV PREV R, V15, P210, DOI 10.1097-HJR.0b013e3282f2dc4e; Oxlad M, 2006, J PSYCHOSOM RES, V61, P775, DOI 10.1016-j.jpsychores.2006.09.008; Perez A, 2002, STAT MED, V21, P3885, DOI 10.1002-sim.1391; Scheier MF, 1999, ARCH INTERN MED, V159, P829, DOI 10.1001-archinte.159.8.829; Scott MJJ, 1998, 9 BRIT MACH VIS C, P304; Steuer J, 2002, ANN THORAC SURG, V73, P1380, DOI 10.1016-S0003-4975(02)03467-7; Stewart RD, 2000, ANN THORAC SURG, V70, P169, DOI 10.1016-S0003-4975(00)01386-2; Tully PJ, 2008, J BEHAV MED, V31, P281, DOI 10.1007-s10865-008-9153-8; Vaccarino V, 2003, J AM COLL CARDIOL, V41, P307, DOI 10.1016-S0735-1097(02)02698-0; Veltri RW, 2002, CLIN CHEM, V48, P1828; Zitser-Gurevich Y, 1999, MED CARE, V37, P625, DOI 10.1097-00005650-199907000-0000223

We look forward to seeing it up close and in colour! - Editorial staff. Sonny and Marina Vannatta 65th Wedding Anniversary Marina & (Norman) Sonny Vannatta On June 23rd Sonny and Marina Vannatta celebrated a truly impressive life milestone - their 65th wedding anniversary. Marina has created a beautiful painting of the old Milo Post Office, and will be donating the artwork to the Milo Library & Archives or Milo Community Hall. Marina & Sonny were married in Cluny by the United Church Minister Rev. Morrison on June 23, 1956. Sonny was working at the time on the road construction and they lived in a holiday trailer which they pulled to each construction site. Marina & Sonny stayed in the Milo area and worked for a farmer for a couple of years. Then they moved to Cluny to help Marina's Father Ben Reimche build the Cluny Hilltop Service Station and Cafe on Highway *1. They ran the Cafe and Sonny worked in the Garage with Ben. Marina remembers these as fun times with the Cluny/Glieichen people. By that time they had 3 children: Wanda, Larry and Vicky. After 5 years they decided to go back to farming and worked for Jack Sutherland for 12 years. Sonny ran the work crew and Marina cooked for hired help, grew a huge garden and milked 6 cows, sometimes running a tractor - very busy times with a young family. Sonny and Marina then went farming on their own, renting land from Rose Northcott and Marie Vinjie. They lived on Rose’s homestead 16 miles northeast of Milo, farming 3.5 sections of dryland with help from family at harvest time. Both Sonny and Marina operated the farm machinery and had a mixed farming operation with cows, horses, pigs, and chickens. They lived there for 31 years, enjoying, a fun and busy life with friends and neighbors.

Sonny and Marina finally retired and are currently living at Garden View Lodge, east of Park Place Shopping Mall. As soon as covid restrictions pass, they would love to see you all.

It's the Bill that the Liberal Government says will ‘modernize’ the Broadcasting Act. What the Gov­ernment doesn't like to talk about are the implica­tions and powers that will be granted to the Canadi­an Radio-Television Commission, or the CRTC. When Bill C-10 inevitably becomes law thanks to Liberal, NDP, and Bloc Quebecois collusion, Cana­dians’ online content will be subject to moderation and enforced by the CRTC. The Liberals have maintained the ruse that Bill C- 10 is nothing more than a legal mandate to level the playing field between foreign big tech giants like Google and Facebook. That they pay their share in Canadian tax just as Canadian companies are subject to. However, Canadians are not con­vinced, nor will they be fooled. The costs will be passed down to the consumer and will not be transparent. By volume alone, Bill C-10 has been the issue I have received the most correspondence on. In the survey from my May e-newsletter (to which you should subscribe if you haven’t already!) a whop­ping 93% of respondents said that government should NOT regulate posts on social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Then comes the infamous 4.1 clause. The clause that protected Canadians’ content online was inex­plicably stricken from the bill by the aforementioned gang of three. This clause would have ensured that, no matter the provisions put into effect by the other clauses in C-10, the content (or ‘programs') that Canadians would post online would not be subject to CRTC regulation. With this clause re­moved, the CRTC will have the power to compel social media sites to remove/modify/replace online content posted by everyday Canadians at its sole behest. No explanation, no criteria, no guidelines. Just because the CRTC can. The Minister of Canadian Heritage has gone on record saying that the CRTC 'has no interest' in regulating individual Canadians' content. However, that argument doesn't stand up to scrutiny either. Despite the apparent disinterest in regulating con­tent, that doesn’t mean it’s not possible. This opens up a can of worms and the potential for a snowball­ing effect. Regulation of content will set a prece­dent defined by the unelected, unaccountable body of the CRTC which operates at arm

REPORTA HIGHWAY PROBLEM 1-888-877-6237 1-888-VS-ROADS My thoughts... Revered c^ordouv Crfti/tch I told those at church some time ago that Reese came up to me at lunch one Sunday and asked me how to get to heaven. I was kind of dumbstruck by the question, especially as Reese is not yet 4. I gave a suitably glib answer, but I continued to think about it and on the next Sunday I gave a slightly more • definitive answer. I have been thinking about the question on and off ever since. I suppose it takes on a slightly different sense of urgency at 72 than it does at age 4. All the songs and hymns that we sing Sunday by Sunday about heaven and the great reunions with those we have loved and have gone before us. But that doesn't answer the question of how we get to heaven. Last month, we had our usual Maundy Thursday dinner and went on to commemorate the Last Supper of Jesus and His disciples. At that time Jesus gave us His directions for eternal life. This is His summary of the great Commandments. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." If we can do just these two things everything else will fall into place. What surer path to Heaven can there be? All the promises that we have received are awaiting their fulfillment. We will be reunited with those we have loved and lost. We will, with God's help, one day reach that eternal shore. Whatever age we are now, we are fortunate to have lived and grown up in such a time of medical advances that have assisted us in living this long. And we look forward to even greater advances that will offer longer and better lives to us. We must always remember that our time on earth is limited and we must do our part while we are here. But this life will surely end one day and we will die. The perishable cannot inherit the imperishable. That is how we get to heaven.

You need to be able to throw something back. - Age 64 • I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you. But if you focus on your family, the needs of others, your work, meeting new people, and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you. - Age 65 • I’ve learned that whenever I decide to do something with kindness, I usually make the right decision. - Age 68 • I’ve learned that it pays to believe in miracles, and , to tell the truth, I've seen several. - Age 73 • I’ve learned that when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. - Age 82 • I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.

RA/erei/vd <^ordoi^ Crtwh "If there comes a little thaw, still the air is chill and raw, here and there, a patch of snow, dirtier than the ground below, dribbles down a marshy flood; ankle-deep you stick mud in the meadows while you sing, 'This is Spring'." Christopher Pearce Cranch One can assume that somewhere back in time, the author is a relative of mine. Although from any reading of his life, he was not at all like me. When I was in Boston some years ago, I was at the cemetery that he is buried in, but I didn't know that at Hie time or I would have searched him out. In March, we do get those hints of spring, and can be certain that it is on its way, but probably won't arrive until April. But we do get the blessed assurance that spring is on the way. This year, Easter is late and so is Ash Wednesday. On March 6th, we will gather at the church to have our yearly reminder of the meaning of Lent pressed on to our foreheads. With a smudge of ash, we are reminded that all of life it transitory, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, in the words of the funeral sendee. Each Lent, we get 40 days to prepare us for the miracle of Easter, to prepare ourselves to receive that most precious gift, the gift of eternal life in Christ. In Lent, we are encouraged to give up any vices that we may have. We are also encouraged to devote some of our time to charitable works, or for some, perhaps it is easier and more practical to give a donation. We put away, until Holy Week, the Gloria and any alleluias from our Lenten services. Three things we might try this Lent are: - Daily prayer - our link to God. - Fasting - our link to ourselves. - Alms giving -^our link to our neighbours in need. This doesn't seem too tall an order for any of us. It is a chance to scale back our daily life, to consider the needs of others, the wealth that God has given to each of us, and the need to treat our bodies better. And, so I wish to all a meaningful Lenten season - until we arrive at the commemoration of Christ’s entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday and the events of I Ioly Week which follow, culminating in the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Through The Year God be with you in the Springtime When the violets unfold, And the buttercups and cowslips Fill the fields with yellow gold; In the time of apple blossoms, When the happy bluebirds sing, Filling all the world with gladness- God be with you in the Spring.

He approached her and asked, ‘Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, ‘Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, “Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?" She again replied, “Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife, Mr. Williams. Yes, I know him." The defense attorney hearing this, closed his eyes, and attempted to die on the spot. At this point, the judge banged his gavel, and asked both counsellors to approach the bench. In a very quiet voice, the judge then said, “If either of you idiots asks Mrs. Jones if she knows me, I'll find a way to send you both to the electric chair."

Richardson Pioneer, PJC Trucking Ltd., The Elevator, Prairie Perfection Catering - . and Milo Seed Cleaning Association . . . ■ ..... . ■ ■ Letter to the Editor bear Editor; I was in the Milo Library recently and bought a copy of Queenstown Memories by Bill Lahd. For anyone familiar with the Queenstown area reading the book will provide a nostalgic trip down memory lane and I highly recommend it. Although our family left Queenstown in 1955,1 still have many indelible memories etched in my mind. For instance, when I hear a meadowlark (they were everywhere), I think of Queenstown. When I drive by the community hall and look north I remember how Railway Avenue once bustled with activity and how elevator row loomed proud and tall. I also remember defending myself and the Kingsmith kids (or so it seemed at the time) from a threatening garter snake with one of Eddie's butcher knives. My parents in particular remained in contact with Queenstown and area residents for many decades and returned to the area quite often. It was as though they remained a part of the community even after being absent for so many years and so when I saw the pictures in Bill's book of the burning of many of the remaining Queenstown buildings in 1971 it was profoundly sad and brought back an emotional reminder of times gone by. I am thankful that Bill Lahd and other members of his family made the considerable effort to preserve Queenstown's history sharing the story of this once dynamic prairie hamlet with grateful readers.

Cold weather kept attend­ance down but a good time was had by all. Milo Lions attended the Interclub in Blackie and the Charter Night in Strathmore. Proceeds from the District Birthday Calendar pro­ject for 2019 will go toward the Milo Hall Kitchen Renovation Fund. This will mean a further 2,500.00 going toward this project. Vice-District Governor Dustin Southgate attended the second Milo Lions meeting in February. Along with Lion Dustin was Zone Chair Darryl Rawleigh and Cabinet Secretary Anne Kennedy. Lion Dustin spoke about the Dreams Take Flight Foundation, a pro­ject that helps sick children enjoy a trip to Disneyland. He also awarded two Chevron Awards to Milo Lions Pe­ter Silbernagel, for 55 years of service, and Allan Bartsch for 30 years of service. UPCOMING EVENTS: The Enchant Campground has been booked for the Milo Community Campout on the nights of July 5th and 6th. This is an annual family fun weekend for our local camp­ing enthusiast, or just those looking for an excuse to use their RV. Consider joining the Milo Lions down at En­chant park, enjoying the golf course, the beach and swimming hole, as well as the museum and ice cream.

When I first moved here as a city boy, I can’t tell you the number of times I looked at something and asked “What is that, and what’s the thing on the back?” Or the front, or the side, or what it was pulling. Now, after more than a decade, I know most of those answers, and carry a satisfying respect for what they are, what they cost, and the skills and hard work of the men and women who operate them, Photo and commentary by Cameron Klem A Community Newsletter published by Volunteers Layout Editors: Subscriptions Notices Cameron Klem 403-485-1592 Barb Godkin 403-485-8389 Barb Godkin 403-485-8389 Can be left at Milo Library, etransfer to [email protected] Any Can Opener volunteer Is your Can Opener subscription due?

This event does not occur without the support of our many sponsors and volunteers. The smiles on the kids' faces was a true reward. Thank you to the following for making it a success. The Elevator-Lloyd Deitz Milo Hotel- Robert & Darlene Phillips Milo & District Ag Society Milo Lions Club Milo Fitness Center Keith & Donna Deitz Monner Farms - Chad & Amy, Barry & Joanne Gary & Mona Middlestead Community volunteers- Barb and Ian Godkin, Cam Klem, Cindy Monner, Frances Thompson, Jana Bartsch, Chad & Amy Monner To date we have collected 6,540.00, and I am still collecting pledges if anyone would like to donate. You can drop it off at the Library or contact me directly at 403-599-3771. - Joanne Monner As with the rest of the run, innovation was needed to pull the event off, so a scaled down display was made and Joanne Monner manned the registration. We missed you Linda Booth. Frances Thompson served burgers that were cooked at home by Barb and Ian Godkin then put into sauce and kept hot at the Fitness Center.

The Dangers of Public WiFi: Important Do’s and Don’ts Restaurants and cafes are open for dine-in. Business travel is resuming. Remote workers are ready to stretch their legs and venture outside. Whether on a plane or seated al fresco, more people are working on the go again. And to get work done between boarding passes and breadsticks, they're connecting to public WiFi. But are they aware of the dangers of public WiFi? Is it safe for employees to use open WiFi? And if you do find yourself logging on to a new network, what can you do to secure your and your employer’s data while you work? Do use password-protected WiFi A secured WiFi connection that requires a password to use is safer than public, unsecured WiFi. It may be more convenient to connect to an open network instantly. But a private network hosted by a cafe or hotel eliminates the risk of a hacker offering free WiFi to lure in cyber victims. So, always check if there is a private WiFi network, and ask for the password. Don’t send sensitive data in cleartext Attackers can set up man-in-the-middle attacks or other methods of cyber espionage on public WiFi. To reduce risk, avoid handling or sending sensitive data whenever possible. That means steering clear of financial data, Pll (Personal Identifiable Information), credentials and passcodes, and any restricted or confidential information until you're back on a secured network. Do use a VPN A virtual private network, or VPN, allows you to establish a secure, protected connection to a corporate network. Even if you’re on public WiFi, the VPN provides an extra layer of security and makes it more difficult for cybercriminals to snoop. Many businesses have a VPN for employee use, but you can also download one yourself. With the amount of work and entertainment happening online, a VPN is now almost as basic as anti-virus protection. Don’t auto-connect to public WiFi Auto-connecting to WiFi can feel convenient. An instant connection wherever you go! But, it comes with hidden dangers, so turn off auto-connect for both WiFi and Bluetooth. Then, each time you’re in a new location, you can intentionally choose which network you want to use. Do connect with HTTPS HTTP and HTTPS are similar protocols that display web data on your device. (You can see what you are using by looking at the beginning text in the address box at the top of your Internet browser.) But, there’s one crucial difference: HTTPS (S for Secure) is a more secure, more advanced version. It keeps passwords private and is a safer connection so that other confidential information stays, well, confidential. So, when you are on public WiFi, check if the website you're using is HTTPS. If it isn't, wait until you’re back on a secured, private network before logging in or sending any data to that website. Do use a password manager and SSO (Single Secure Sign-on) Passwords are so mundane that we forget how critical they are to our online security. Unfortunately, public WiFi can expose us to attacks that allow cybercriminals to steal passwords. That's why it's essential to use a different password on every single website. A password manager simplifies the creation and management of strong passwords for all of your online accounts. Don’t neglect device security Security at the individual device level is essential, too. Keep software, in particular Internet browsers, and apps up-to-date. Updates have important security and bug fixes, so apply an update when one is available. Also, run anti malware software to spot malicious activity on your device. Don’t click links or open attachments from people you don’t know or seem out of character. Remember that links in apps like Facebook are not automatically safe - far from it in fact. And if you think you've spotted some unusual activity, investigate right away, and get help if you're not sure what you’re dealing with. With a few simple precautions, you can safely and conveniently work or entertain yourself while on the go, even when public WiFi is the only connection available. Get a password manager to start beefing up your password security and use our steps above to work safely from anywhere.

CW(^xM' November is the month for remembering. 2014 is a special anniversary year. In August, 1914, the world plunged in to the 'war to end all wars'. As we are all too aware, from our experiences of the past 100 years, it was really the start to most of the major conflicts of the 20th century. We don't need to rehash history and try to place blame. None of that will bring honour to a generation of young men who were killed, maimed or wounded on the battlefields of Europe 1914 -1918. In the carnage of the war, there are many examples of individual courage and compassion, countered by the inhumane ways devised to kill humanity. The use of mustard gas in warfare for the first time must rank as one of the most heinous of all time. 100,000 people died and 1,000,000 more were affected by the gassing. The gas did not restrict itself to soldiers, it killed anyone in its path. In the 4 year span of the war, the total casualties were 36 million (16 million died, 20 million wounded). So why on earth would we want remember such a horrible event in the history of the world? “Thosewho cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat That is why we must continue to remember, not only for Remembrance Day, when we pay tribute to those who, at the call of King & Country, laid down their lives for the peace and freedom that we enjoy today, but so that such a conflict may never again take place on earth ever again. "Only the dead have seen the end of war."2 For those millions of maimed and wounded that had to try to return to civilian life following the war's end, there was not even the inadequate assistance given to our present day veterans. Post traumatic stress disorder was not acknowledged, although shell shocked would have been the term used then. Soldiers bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."2 Anyone who took part in the fighting, in any capacity, and lived would have had emotion scars that would never heal. "War is hell. 4 And the Great War was possibly the most hellish of all wars. That is why we must remember it, so that never again should humanity be subject to such carnage. "Lest we forget, Lest we forget."5 (1),(2) Philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist George Santayana (3) World War II General Douglas MacArthur (4) American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman (5) Poet and novelist Rudyard KiplingThe month of October has flown by like a witch on a broom. We have had a very busy month full of activities and learning opportunities. Fire Chief Byron Thompson and Vulcan County Fire Marshall Stuart Larson made a surprise visit to our school for Fire Prevention Week. They initiated the fire alarm and observed us as we made our way out of the school. The ele­mentary students watched a video and talked with Byron and Stuart about the importance of smoke detectors. Thanks to the Milo School Foundation we were able to have the Science in Motion program travel to our school. Our fantastic presenter Jen worked with the different grades doing hands on sci­ence experiments, we even had a mini-planetarium set up in the gym, the 7/8 class learned the science be­hind roller coasters, the grade 9 students made a pickle glow and the 1/2/3 class made ice cream with liquid ni­trogen.The Milo School Foundation also provided funding to have author David A. Poulsen bring his writing workshops to our school. The students really enjoyed the humorous way he shared his love for writing and the creative pro­cess. The volleyball team practiced and played games and fin­ished their season by hosting a one day volleyball tourna­ment. The tournament was a huge success with teams from Arrowwood, Champion, Brant, and Carmangay schools competing. Thanks to Mealane Deitz for organiz­ing the concession and to Leanne Bertschy for helping work the concession. The junior high held elections for student council and we are happy to see such an enthusiastic group take on the leadership of our student body. The student union is now starting the Mom’s Pantry Fundraiser, students will be coming around with order forms or they are available on our website as well.

We are hopeful that driveway access will be corrected back to a normal state of affairs, that proper grades and drainage swales will be installed before drainage becomes a significant issue. The Village of Arrowwood can appreciate the frustration that this delay has caused and it has tried to work with residents to accommodate all access concerns that required an immediate solution. It appears that the Villages of Arrowwood and Milo have found a contractor to undertake some final infrastructure work for 2014. In Arrowwood, water and sewer services needs to be extended to the new Arrowwood Co-op development, along with some ditch grading and the installation of a new fire hydrant. In Milo, a water leak, a fire hydrant repair and some minor roadwork needs to be undertaken. As mentioned last month, the workshop “Finding Agreement” was hosted by Arrowwood and Milo and considered by all who attended to be highly worthwhile. Although designed for municipal officials, it is available for other community groups and organizations. The facilitator, Barbara McNeil, works for the Alberta Energy Regulator but has a longstanding relationship with Alberta Municipal Affairs. She has over twenty years experience as a mediator across a wide range of issues, including senior trainer in the University of Calgary’s Conflict Resolution Program, with experience as a member of the Municipal Government Board and Federal Farm Debt Review Board. Arrowwood and Milo were happy to have participants from both villages, Vulcan County, Town of Vulcan, Village of Carmangay, and diverse range of community associations. On October 2nd, the Village of Milo filed notice of appeal with Vulcan County and the Municipal Government Board (MGB) under section 690 of the Municipal Government Act. This appeal concerns a dispute with Vulcan County over a proposed residential subdivision development that it deems could have a detrimental impact on the village absent inter-municipal co-operation. As legislated, the MGB will open a hearing for this appeal within 60 days of notice being filed.

She helps out in the Daya Dan which is the orphanage for mentally and physically handicapped children from ages 4-13. These children have been abandoned by their families because of their handicaps. Some of these children spend their days in a crib because they cannot move. The others have a small courtyard to play in or on the roof of the building. I spoke with Janet and asked what we could possibly send to make life a little bit better for these children. If anyone could help me out that would be great. She gave a few suggestions. They have a cassette player and Janet thought it would be nice to have some relaxing music to play to the children when they are massaging them. The children in the cribs could use crib mobiles so they have something to look. Cloth books would be great since the kids tend to put everything in their mouths and are hard on regular books. Although it is India it does get cool so warm cardigans would be much appreciated. The only thing to remember is that the clothes must be easy to put on as some of the kids have very stiff arms and legs and it makes it hard to dress them. One other thing Janet suggested is a jungle gym that could be collapsed right down flat. She was thinking of those cloth tunnels that have the wire in them. If anyone has any USED items (Janet doesn’t expect new) that would be wonderful. Please give me a call and I will come and pick up anything that you could donate. Thank you so very much.

The municipal planning committee (read County Council) have in conjunction with our planning advisor, came up with a map showing land use restrictions surrounding lakes, rivers, streams, hamlets, villages and towns. As most communities are adjacent to rail lines they are not "square" with the world. This makes them intrude into many 1\4 sections. The rule of thumb applied to the map is: If a 1\4 is intruded onto then the next 1\4 "going out" would be included in the restricted area in order to get the full required distance. Now it is unlikely that a confined feeding facility would be built that close to a populated area but other uses that may eventually be included or unacceptable uses may eventually be. I am thinking of cow\calf wintering grounds, background pasture land, greenhouse, and any other use that people don’t want. If you want to look at the map at the amount of land that would be restricted along a wandering stream, such as the West Arrowwood Creek for example, the possible restrictions would be huge and involve a lot of farm steads. I believe this is unacceptable and personally can't support the proposed scenario. I would advise anyone with property adjacent to the above mentioned areas to look the map and see if it may affect you now or in the future. I have one. The County office renovations are more or less on schedule and the new look is starting to be visible. The mild weather has certainly been an asset to the construction crew. The Council has passed the budget for the upcoming year and there will be no increase. I did not support the budget finally approved, as I thought we were spending too much on some projects that are proposed. I am not opposed to the projects or such but think we should proceed slowly and develop a system that work for us, and then of it does, to expand it.

Have you been eating donuts?" We laughed and laughed... I need bail money.Mt/ tWcnA^lvh... In my line of work, Bible reading is a constant. Each year as I read and reread the Good Book, something new stands out or catches my attention. Recently I was reading the book of Haggai - not one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, but nevertheless, one which seems to speak to this age. See what you think: "Now therefore thus says the Lord of Hosts: Consider how you have fared? You have sown much, and harvested little; you eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and you that earn wages earn wages to put them into a bag with holes.” In the relevant words of that prophet of modern times, Dr. Phil, “And how is that working for you?” (You might take this a little more seriously if the preacher wasn't somewhere on a cruise ship at this very moment, so I guess I am not immune. Hopefully I do enough good in the community to take some time away and, without guilt, briefly live the good life.) Modern society is all too consumed with 'me' and 'things' and 'pleasures'. I think what the prophet is saying is, that: • Unless you are grounded in the larger reality of the world; • Realize how very fortunate is your fate, that you have been blessed by God; • That you work not just for yourself, but to ensure that the poor around you are fed, clothed, & maintained, and • Live every day with honest regard for your fellow man, ... there is no hope that the Lord of Hosts will look kindly on your life. He will indeed consider how you have fared on your earthly journey and decide whether you have done enough. When was it that I saw you hungry and fed you? Or thirsty and gave you drink? When did I see you as a stranger and took you in? Or naked and clothed you? When did I see you sick or in prison and visited you? Verily I say unto thee, inasmuch as thou hast done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, thou hast done it unto me. The Holy Family were themselves refugees, fleeing into Egypt to escape from another evil ruler, King Herod, so I believe that He would sympathize with the plight of the millions of refugees fleeing a conflict not of their making, trying to find sanctuary and a new life. Consider how you have fared. Consider how you can, in turn, show your gratitude by supporting those whose need is great.

January has now come on gone, with bitter cold days and some almost like summerl Along with it we have been busy with ice skating, studying and preparing for exams and having awesome literacy activities! February is KINDNESS month - help us to spread love and joy at school by talking about kindness at home in different ways. Family Literacy Day was a hit on January 27th with guests from the fire department, the RCMP, the Vulcan Coalition of Early Childhood Development with Rainbow Literacy, community members and families. We had a fabulous visit with Tanya Elliott, an author from Brooks, Alberta. She is also a teacher, and spent time with the students inspiring them to use their imagination and pursue their dreams. Exam week was the last week of January. It was a great way to see where our students are doing well and where they are struggling. Remember that there are many factors that limit or contribute to success in a test: level of confidence, anxiety and the amount of sleep and food eaten, all play a role in addition to the student’s knowledge of the subject. As well, some students may be struggling with reading, expression of ideas, processing information and attention due to differences in their abilities and development. Everyone is on their own personal learning journey and it is our job (with you) to discover the various ways to realize everyone's potential. Tests are only one sample of many other aspects of student learning. In February information will be sent home to communicate with parents and guardians how the results were and areas requiring further growth for our school. We are looking forward to a few things in February! Not only is there the week off February 15-19, but also on February 22 there is a special dance performance, SAFIRE, which focuses on a message about confidence, leadership and bullying from the Canadian School Presenters. And... on February 23 we are going SKIIING to Castle Mountain! Oh Yeah! Finally in February there will be two surveys for you to complete. One will be for the school and the other is for the government, called the Accountability Pillar Survey. Completing both surveys is very important in order for us to learn your perspective about what we are doing well and what we could improve on. Please read below for more information. Thank you for your awesome support in your child’s learning! Have an epic February! -Ms. Prud’Homme Important Message: Survey info coming home soon! Attached with this News Update is information about surveys for parents and students to complete. This will be printed and sent home for school parents. There will be two surveys. One is for the school’s information, as an opportunity to get feedback from students and parents now. The other is the government survey from Alberta Education, which comes out every year, called The Accountability Pillar Survey. This survey is what we use to plan school goals by assessing our level of school achievement and areas requiring improvement. Please complete both surveys so that we can have information to help us grow further! If you would like to come in to the school during the day to complete the surveys online, you are welcome to do so. Laptops will be available in the library for the survey to be completed. Simply come in and sign in to the office and visif the library laptops. Thank you very much, in advance, for taking the time to complete the surveys! We appreciate it! First “WE READ” session went very well. The students were engaged and enthusiastic - this is a time for teachers to meet and collaborate. Let us know if you would like to help read to kids! Family Literacy Day was on January 27 and we all enjoyed the visit from guest author, Tanya Elliott along with family and community reading time and a potluck lunch! Awesome! Art classes start the second week of February on Thursdays with Vulcan Art Teacher Michael Shain, for the 3-5 and 6-9 classes. The science lab and library have a bright and fresh coat of paint. Free Family Movie Night was well attended with an audience ranging from pre-school to grandparents enjoying a good laugh at the antics of the Minions. Thank you for attending! We are now working on developing a new school sign for above our front entrance! Check out the photography from the photography options class! Students learned how to communicate creatively.

Thank you to all that came out to share Family Literacy Day with us at the school. Special thanks goes to Tanya Elliott, the guest author who came to speak with all of the classes.

Thank you to all that took part in organizing the event, participating, and to all of the community members from Milo and Vulcan who visited!

We are at a fork in the road with two choices. We can continue the slow downward, well travelled road that many communities in Alberta have traveled, not realizing that the "bridge out" sign had been removed. The bridge out sign, of course, is warning us about the imminent closure of our school and the resulting decrease in every aspect of what makes our village and community great. or We may choose to take the less travelled road, somewhat up hill and difficult to negotiate and not only maintain but grow our school and in turn grow our community. A school is often referred to as the heart of a community. With only 26 local students and approximately the same number of students attending from Siksika, and with classrooms consisting of 3 grades and an overall reduction in support staff the school environment is less than ideal. As parents choose to not send their children into a school with apparently no future, who can really blame them? As well this prospect of multiple grades and few students does not encourage anyone with school age children to locate in our community. Personally, I believe it is necessary to grow the number of students attending our school by approximately 40 to return to a staffing level of only two grades per class with a reasonable compliment of support staff. I believe that this is entirely possible in a very short timeline, with the right amount of incentives. Of course, the decline in enrollment as a result of rural depopulation has been happening to many rural schools and communities since the 1960's.Our rural landscape is littered with once vibrant communities now lacking basic businesses and supporting community infrastructure such as curling rinks, viable grocery stores, service clubs, churches, etc. We have as a community, procrastinated, hoping something or some industry or whatever would bring families into our community. Well, we have reached the point of no return for sustainability of our community when our school closes in the next couple of years. It is often said that " to sustain a community you need to have a community left to sustain" and we do ! To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill - "to debate only the past and present, we lose sight of the future". Other jurisdictions have made significant investments towards their future not only attempting to stem the tide of depopulation but to encourage families once again to move into their jurisdiction. Our Vulcan County and Village of Milo have made to their credit some tentative steps in this regard. I haven't been able to see a strategic plan to address our rural depopulation issue that is meaningful and that has a short time line for implementation. There are various alternatives that we as the Milo community can implement to hopefully save our school from closing. These strategies would require the full support of the rural population surrounding Milo as well as the Milo Village and Vulcan County to encourage repopulation in the near term. There will be public meeting to discuss various alternatives in the very near future. There are ideas out there and I would encourage everyone to participate with ideas, time and determination.

Hope your December was filled with friends and fellowship and your January has been full of good wishes and prosperity. It has been a busy few months for me. I was looking at my schedule over the months since the election and I counted that I have been involved in 23 various meetings. It has been a definite learning curve but is very exciting at the same time. Beginning with our Orientation Session with Mr. George B. Cuff (previous Mayor of Spruce Grove for 12 concurrent years, advisor to municipalities for 34 years and author of 2 books on Municipal Leadership in Canada), being the Village representative on three monthly regional groups and meeting with our own Council twice a month has opened up a number of interesting doors and renewed previous contacts from earlier in my teaching career. It has made me do much research to be prepared in order to make informed decisions and to be able to ask relevant questions. Many of the regional groups that the Village of Milo belongs to have also come to give us mini-orientation / informational sessions to let us know who they are and what they are all about. This has been very essential in understanding who they are and what they have to offer to us as a Village. What I have come to summarize and continue to believe strongly in is that we do have “strength in numbers”. Many communities in Alberta are facing the same issues and crunches that we are feeling so working together to problem solve has much benefit. There are so many advantages to being involved in regional partnerships whether they are at the County level, the Southern Alberta level, or the provincial level. This past month I had the privilege of attending the South Grow Regional Initiative 4th Annual Recognition Event to celebrate businesses within Southern Alberta that have shown various “successes” throughout the past year. (Check out the media release for more details.) It was definitely the most thrilling thing I’ve been involved in so far as a Councillor. Following the Annual General Meeting, we were given time to mix and mingle before the ceremony. As I looked around the room, I saw many faces that I recognized. At my table alone, I sat amongst 3 people that I knew from 3 different avenues of life but were all tied together through this group. Some were from around our County but others I knew from my years in Lethbridge. Barry McFarland (M.L.A. Little Bow), Bridget Pastoor (M.L.A. Lethbridge East) and Senator Joyce Fairbum were some of the politicians I recognized and the newly elected Mayor of Lethbridge, Rajko Dodic was also in attendance. I felt as though I was in the midst of royalty (well not quite the right word, but you know what I mean) and it began to sink in that “I” will now be in some of the same arenas as the “Big Wigs” of Alberta politics. I felt so proud and genuinely privileged to be able to be involved in this new opportunity. Thank you for having the faith and confidence to elect me to this position to represent you. I will do my absolute best to serve our Village. At our regional Waste Commission meeting, I was shocked to find out that one of the major costs to the Commission is the price of sending our garbage to the City of Lethbridge. The more tons of garbage, the higher the price. It really made me think about how much garbage I am throwing out and what things could be changed to reduce this. When I asked Dick Ellis (Waste Operations Manager and Mayor of Champion) if there were any ways that we could improve our recycling and waste locations, he stated that “actually Milo is one of the best sites for following the requirements”. So congratulations on that everyone! V.D.W.C. (Vulcan & District Waste Commission) is currently involved with the S.A.W.E.A. (Southern Alberta Waste Energy Association) project. They are looking at possible locations to develop a plant in southern Alberta.For more information, please check them out at www.saewa.ca. Please be advised that: the Alberta Government has made some changes to it’s tire recycling program. There are no changes for car, pickup and light duty vehicle tires but there is for medium truck tires, Off Road tires and all other tires (except farm tires). As a council, we met with a member of the Alberta Community Development Department and are working on our “Strategic Plan” for this term (what we wish to accomplish). Once we have this finalized, it will help us in making sure all of our decisions work towards those common goals. It was a very informative and effective session and best of all, it was a free service to us from the Alberta Government! It also helped us to define the specific talents and skills that each of us brings to the table. We have been working with Louis and a few selected members of the community to come up with a more formal snow removal plan in order to be successful when hit by winter storms. After this most recent storm, we have just been basically on the “get us out from under all this snow” plan. We feel that it is of the utmost importance to have some cohesion when removing snow and currently Louis has been leading this attempt. Thank you so much to those of you who have been involved. If you have not been contacted by myself or Louis and would like to help out, please let us know right away so that we can get you involved with the efforts too. Raphael is currently working with a group of people to update our “Emergency Management Plan”. Laurie has been continuing to help keep us on track and what steps we need to follow next. After much discussion, we have discovered that we need to review and update some of the job descriptions that we currently have for a few reasons. Mainly we feel this will help to allow everyone involved to know who is responsible for what and to make sure that all required work is being accomplished. This will also help us to be successful when completing the annual performance reviews each year. Our hope is that this will alleviate some of the Post Office issues and help develop a chain of communication to keep everyone working together efficiently and better be able to keep track of projects on the go. We are continuing to collect content for our new website. If you have any pictures of past annual Milo events or of the Village itself, we would like to include them in the “Pictoral view of Life in Milo” and other various spots. There will also be a “calendar of events” tab that wil

T.W. Sforch The days are getting noticeably longer which means that Spring is not too far away. Spring is a time that my thoughts start to focus on next year. Pre-registration of this years grade nines in CCHS, Milo and Champion will be coming up. As it has been done in previous years, parents will be very much informed and involved in the process. No dates have been set as of yet, but marks from the midterm are very much in evidence from the last report card. 1 have found that the grade nine marks are a very accurate predictor of sucess in high school. Students will have programs recommended to them based on their mid-term marks. This will be done prior to the April report cards, so that students have the opportunity to improve their marks in time for the next reporting period. Hopefully students will make every effort in the last half of the year so that their marks going into high shcool are as good as possible. I was pleased to see the number of names on both Jr. and Sr. High Honor Roles. As parents you have every right to be proud of your students accomplishments and so are we as the staff of CCHS. The second semester is now underway. I hope the results of the first semester returned to the students are in keeping with the amount of work and effort that they put into their courses. The claims that oats bring vibrant health Have me puzzled plenty, For horses eat them all their lives And they are old at tv/enty. A Love Poem He wanted to be a farmer to take his father’s place. And when the time was right We packed our bags, left the lights of the city behind and headed for his dream. But i didn’t promise forever. “Five years," l said. “Just five year's. if I don’t like it, then we’ll leave." He smiled at me, and a deal was made. The years flew by in a flurry of changes. And on the fifth year we sat on the deck. / could see the old red barn and the calves. I could smell the wet hay and dirt still damp from the snow. “We’d better stay 'til the kids are grown. How could l make them leave the cats and the old dog, the hayloft and the treehouse? Or the dirt road out back so perfect for biking?" But when they grew up and left here, then we’d move into town. He smiled at me and a deal was made. The years flew by In a flurry of changes. And one, then the other packed their bags And headed for the city lights left behind so long ago. So one spring morning we went into town. And / found the perfect house It was even blue. We decided to go home and sleep on it. In the morning, l phoned Sears and ordered a carpet for the deck. Then t looked out the window and saw him coming up the walk with a fuzzy brown pup wiggling in his arms. He smiled at me and a deal was made. Linda Proctor Letter To The Editor This request is to all those who have parked their vehicles for the day or the greater portion there of, in front of the businesses on main street Milo during business hours. Please have some consideration for the seniors in the community, who have to pack groceries, mail or get to appointments on the icy streets much further than need be because they cannot park any closer. There is plenty of parking space in other places on main street. Please think of this next time before you park.

IN THE MILO COMMUNITY HALL I: FORMERLY OF MILO PIONEER AGENTSeed Cleaning Plant Completed and Operating I ay, February 2, Blahne Sukut of Milo, hauled a truck load of wheat to the New Queenstown Seed Cleaning Plant In Milo, to be the first wheat cleaned in the new plant. Some of those who were in attendance were plant manager - Ed Posien, president of plant - Ian Godkin, head of the building committee - Keith Godkin and building committee member - James Will. Blahne had helping him that day his son, Matthew, who enjoyed being with his dad when the first load was dumped into the holding area. A few other Interested farmers dropped in to see how everything was going. Due to some small problems the wheat was not able to be cleaned that day. Afer a few days most of the bugs were out of the equipment and the cleaning was underway. The plant Is now almost completely finished except for a little cement work to be done on the driveway extension pads and some painting. This will be done in the spring when the weather warms up. The cleaning capacity of the plant has Increased from 250 busheHs per hour in the old plant to approximately 400 bushetls per hour in the new one. This is approximately 2500 to 3000 bushells per day. If you get a chance drop in and take a tour of the plant. Hopefully there will be someone who will be available to show you around. You will be very Impressed on how large and open the building is.

Responsibilities: Organize adult education courses for the Milo area Representatives do get to take courses at reduced prices. MAYBE WE COULD HAVE 2 REPS? Champion has 2 representatives for their area sharing responsibilities. This seems to work well as people can concentrate on their interest areas. Now that a Milo person is Further Ed. Coordinator, the job does seem easier. If you are interested in helping out, please phone me at 599-2213. I have been representative for Milo for over 5 years and have really enjoyed it, but I need more free time to devote to foe Municipal Library.VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH The Milo Community School is actively participating in the Community School Concept. We have set up an adult - children reading program with the Grade 1/2 class and adults of the community. On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 2:50 - 3:20 p.m. an adult comes in and reads a story to the children, usually referring to a subject, a theme, or a holiday that is coming up. This shows the students that reading is a life-long skill, and not just done because you are a teacher or a student in school. Our very first participant in this program was Ruth Hermann. She.was a very enthusiastic volunteer and instantly loved by the children. For all of her efforts, we want to recognize her as our Volunteer of the Month. If there is anyone interested in participating in this program, please call Joanne Monner at the school (599-3817) or at home (599- 3771). We welcome all volunteers. We are also interested in starting a program with the Jr. High students incorporating math skills with everyday life skills. We are looking for volunteers who would come in and play games that require math skills, such as Crib, Bridge, Backgammon, Yahtzee, etc. (not Poker). Anyone interested in this, please contact the school.CONGRATULATIONS to Robbie Thomson who recently retired from his engineering job with the Federal Government.

As only a few people do this it was decided that our present policy wasn't fair. The result is now you have to pay about 50.00 for the first half hour or less and goes up from there.This also applys to 'having the snow plowed off of your driveway. However, if there is some type of emergency such as needing an ambulance or fire truck come in there is NO charge. You still need an entry agreement signed except for an emergency. Also, our lawyers now tell us we need an entry agreement for the school bus to come onto your property to pick up students. For those of you who are in this category I will be around for your signature. I think the world would stop if the lawyers ever went on strike. A good many of our farmers have taken the pesticide training course that the Ag. Dep't. is running- In this course safety is a big thing. So if you hav en' t taken it yet I believe there is another one in March. If you can't go yourself you might send the little woman on your farm as the in­formation is very useful to the farm woman as well. One of the things that is stressed is the wearing of a hard hat instead of the ever present cloth, cap. A monogramed hard hat for Mother's Day might be something to get for your farming partner. The School Board retfeat recently held was a fairly stressful 2 days. Some of: the cost-cutting ideas did not go over very well. I can't comment on any re­sults yet as some of the better ideas are being looked at to see if there really would be a saving if they were, implemented. Our board is hoping for better results with the new Education­al Minister. But I feel the real power in this department is with the Deputy Minister and a few other top officials. Until they change things may stay the same. There has been some comments about having a Principal in every school. In almost every situation where there is more than one person working, someone has to be the boss. This is necessary in our schools too. Someone has to make the decisions ‘ and also be responsible for them. This carries some risk and conse­quently people in these positions are paid more. About 10,000.00worthofpropertywasstolenfromourschoolsrecently.SomewasrecoveredinShaunesy,nearLethbridge.TheSchoolBoardhasoffereda10,000.00 worth of property was stolen from our schools recently. Some was recovered in Shaunesy, near Lethbridge. The School Board has offered a 1,000.00 reward for infor­mation leading to an arrest. The R.C.M.P. believe stolen goods from' this area are being shipped to Vancouver.
