the Rev. Gordon Cranch
This summer has been a time of community celebrations. Lomond village celebrated their 100th anniversary with a weekend full of events and, most importantly, the sharing of memories from days gone by. This Sunday, August 7th, in Milo, we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the new church, aptly named Hope, which replaced the original church, destroyed by fire January 9th, 1965. What an expression of faith that the congregation of that time decided that the church should be rebuilt. What a marvel that it took 18 months for the planning and building to result in a completed church at a cost of $30,000. The next Sunday, August 14th, the village of Milo will celebrate the 85th anniversary of its incorporation. I am always in favour of celebrating any occasion. We are given no assurance of anything other than today, so it is best that we celebrate each day that is given to us.
I pulled out the Snake Valley II history book and just a glance through its pages draws you into the story & history of a small prairie community, not all that unlike the one in which I grew up, although that was located in God's Country. (Saskatchewan, for those of you not up on your geography) I see the stores and businesses that were and are no more. I see the young men and women who served their nation in the world wars. I see the couples who celebrated their 40th, 50th wedding anniversaries. The stories that they could have told about life at the beginning of the century, the start of the community on the cold and unforgiving prairie. The sense of community and the fast friendships forged by the need to help or ask for help from ones neighbours. The faith that was required to leave their native land and head out for an adventure. How many of us would be prepared to leave all that we know and hold dear to set out for a foreign land and an uncertain future? I do not think that we give enough credit to those pioneers for all that they overcame, what they accomplished in only perhaps three generations.
What will the village of Milo be like in 2031? Where will you be in 2031? Where will I be in 2031? Notice the abundance of question marks? All we can be sure of is that God has a plan, and that plan will be revealed in His good time. He provided for our grandparents, parents and for us, and we can be assured that He will provide for our children, their children and for all generations to come. And for that we give thanks as well.

The Canada Day long weekend brought out 8 teams to the volleyball tournament and with excellent weather on our side we had an awesome time. There are many people to thank for the event being such a success this year. Robert Phillips and the Milo Hotel for running the beer gardens, Michael Monner and the Sustainability Group for stepping up and running a great concession, Christopher Northcott for getting the tents set up for the event and the Milo Lions Club for taking them down. A huge thank you to those that helped get the court ready, Don Robbie for getting it cleaned up and spreading all of the sand and Doug Marks with Mark's Oilfield Services for donating a load of sand. I would also like to thank Chad Monner for helping haul the picnic tables and setting up the court for the event and thanks to Kyle Gauthier for lending the stereo equipment so that we could have music all weekend. A huge thank you to all of the community members for coming out and playing in the tournament. Hopefully we can keep the tournament around the same weekend next year and continue have a successful event every summer.'B' Event Winners - Deanna Heather Team

Dear Residents & Ratepayers,
Election Day in the Village of Milo will be Friday, August 19th, with voting between 10 AM and 8 PM at the Milo Community Hall. There are two candidates running for the position of councillor in this by-election. The term of office will be for just over one year, or until the general municipal election in October of 2017 when all three positions on the village council can be contested.
Residents of Arrowwood and Milo have one month remaining in which they can appeal their Assessment Notice. Should you wish to meet with the municipal assessor please notify myself directly, or leave a message for me at each municipal office.
The Milo council is aiming to finalize its 2016 Operating and Capital Budget, as well as the tax rate bylaw, this coming month. While payment of property taxes is due in Arrowwood at the end of August, in Milo the deadline for payment of property taxes will be the end of September. I am planning to have a General Meeting this fall whereupon we can provide an overview of village business and priorities, anticipating public feedback and input. If you wish to be notified by email of this General Meeting, please ensure that the village offices have your email address on file.
Much work and planning has gone into the 85th Village Anniversary and School Reunion in Milo. Come out and take part in the activities running from the 12th to the 14th of August, seeing all that the Milo Community has to offer while re-connecting with friends. I would like to thank all volunteers, especially Katie Walker and Barb Godkin, for their efforts in organizing this event.
Sincerely,
Christopher Northcott Chief Administrative OfficerVILLAGE OF

My thoughts... Reverend Fordow Crtfuvch
Once there was an old shoe cobbler who dreamt one Christmas Eve that Jesus
would come to visit him the next day. The dream was so real that he was
convinced it would come true.
So the next morning he got up and went out and cut green boughs and
decorated his little cobbler shop and got all ready for Jesus' visit. He was so
sure that Jesus was going to come that he just sat down and waited for
him.
The hours passed and Jesus didn't come. But an old man came. He came inside for a moment to get
warm out of the winter cold. As the cobbler talked with him he noticed the holes in the old man's shoes, so
he reached up on the shelf and got him a new pair of shoes. He made sure they fit and that his socks were
dry and sent him on his way.
Still he waited. But Jesus didn't come. An old woman came. A woman who hadn't had a decent meal in
two days. They sat and visited for a while, and then he prepared some food for her to eat. He gave her a
nourishing meal and sent her on her way.
Then he sat down to wait for Jesus. But Jesus still didn't come.
Then he heard a little boy crying in front .of his shop. He went out and talked to the boy and discovered
that the boy had become separated from his parents and didn't know howto get home. So the cobbler put
on his coat, took the boy by the hand and led him home.
When he came back-to his little shoe shop, it was almost dark and the streets were emptied of people. And
then in a moment of despair he seemed to hear a voice saying,” O shoe cobbler, lift up your heart. I kept my
word. Three times I knocked at your friendly door. Three times my shadow fell across your floor. I was the
man with bruised feet. I was the woman you gave to eat. I was the boy on the homeless street.”
Jesus had come. The cobbler just didn't realize it.
One of the many wonderful stories told around Christmas to make us think about the times when, perhaps,
Jesus has visited us - and I wonder what kind of reception he got Did we welcome him in, like the cobbler
did, or were we too busy, too caught up in the world to recognize that the Prince of Peace was here with us?
Make time for Jesus in your life. A good start would be to attend a church service Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day. He is the Reason for the Season after all.

VILLAGE OF
ALBERTA
November 29, 2016
Dear Residents & Ratepayers,
The Village of Arrowwood will have a general meeting in the Arrowwood
Community Hall on Thursday, December 8th at 7:30 PM. The Village of Milo will
have a general meeting in the Milo Community Hall on Monday, December 12th
at 7:00 PM. We will provide a brief overview of village business and welcome
public input on 2017 capital projects. While we realize that December can be a
busy month for many, we are hoping to get a good turnout for these meetings.
As a reminder, all unpaid 2016 property taxes will be considered in arrears
after December 31, 2016. While interest is incurred on current year taxes once
the tax payment deadline has passed, tax arrears continue to incur interest
penalty charges every three months.
The Village of Arrowwood is pushing ahead with a water treatment plant
upgrade, as well as a sanitary/sewer rehabilitation project. It was decided by the
village council that MPE Engineering should be hired to complete this work for
Arrowwood. The sanitary rehabilitation project in Milo is nearly complete and I
would like to thank MPE Engineering and Shawne Excavating and Trucking Ltd.
for their dedicated work. Both villages are looking at road and sidewalk projects
in 2017.
It is hard to believe that another year is almost past. I would like to thank
all village employees for the work they do to maintain Arrowwood and Milo. Their
dedicated work on general administration and regular operations of the water
treatment facilities is essential. We are fortunate to have such good individuals
working to provide services. Also, we can thank our village workers for hanging
holiday lights in anticipation of the Christmas season. Their efforts have kept both
municipalities looking neat and trim throughout the year.
On behalf of the Villages of Arrowwood and Milo I would like to wish
everyone a Merry Christmas, as well as a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.
Sincerely,
Christopher Northcott
Chief Administrative Officer

5. COUNCILLOR REPORTS
a. Louis Myers:
- Has not attended any committee meetings since the last council meeting.
- Wondered if Administration had assisted the library with applying for an insurance claim
under their insurer, AMSC. The CAO responded that this was not necessary given that
the library's builder has taken full responsibility for all structural issues to date.
- Wondered if Administration could provide an update on the playground maintenance
works as directed by council in the last minutes. The CAO responded that Don Robbie
had sourced our some materials for this project which would cost approximately
$280.00 from UFA in Vulcan. It is thought that the Lions Club might be willing to
purchase the materials for the playground. To date Don still has some time that he can
give the village and remain within budget. Given the potential liability risk, as well as
the availability of good weather and Don's time, the CAO directed him to proceed with
the repairs.
- Wondering if Administration had updated its shared costs with Arrowwood. The CAO
explained that he was working on it this week.
Regular Meeting of Village of Milo Council on Tuesday, October 18, 2016 Page 1
-
Wondering if Administration had issued invoices for the new water and sewer services
given that Mr. Mingo had asked him about it. CAO had explained that these had been issued and that he had delayed issuing them given some of the other matters that were being ironed out with Shawne Excavating.
b.
Barry Monner:
-
Attended a regional subdivision and development appeal board hearing over a Hutterite

-

My thoughts... Rev. Gordon Cranch
When David's time to die drew near, he charged his son, Solomon, saying: "I am
about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, be courageous...
Most of us have experienced the loss of a loved one. Probably every detail of that
final day are etched forever in our memory. While you may have been in a daze,
certain memories, probably not even significant, remain. The walk down a hospital
corridor numb with the knowledge that your loved one is gone. Have you felt how
much like fear grief feels? I think that is why King David says these things to
Solomon, his successor as king. If you are to be king, it is essential to be strong, to
be courageous, even in the face of grief.
If you remember, King David had lost more than one son already. He knew about
paralyzing grief, something that a new king could not have if he was to be the
leader that the country would need. Regardless of his natural feelings of grief for
his father, Solomon would need to surmount that sadness. He would need to be
strong and courageous - for his father, for his family, for his people.
We, too, need to rise above whatever feeling of loss we are now experiencing in
this unanticipated time of trial and isolation. Even when our restrictions are lifted,
the world will not be the same as once it was. For some, jobs will be gone,
businesses will have failed, many will have suffered the loss of a loved one from
the COVID virus.
But we still must live courageously in spite of our sufferings. Sometimes it doesn't
seem possible. However, we have God's promise to us:
"Do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will
strengthen you, I will help you...
June Services:
in these uncertain times, there are no scheduled services.
We look forward to meeting again soon.
See you in Church! - just not right now

The Library Misses Everyone During This Pandemic
Library & Archives Hosts a Milo Memories Night
On the evening of March 5th, 33 people gathered at the Library
for a showcase of contents, not only the Archives has collected
and processed, but also that of our local historian Neil Godkin’s
research.
Library & Archives Manager Joanne Monner demonstrated how
to access the records that have been processed with the Archives
Society of Alberta at https://albertaonrecord.ca/milo-library-
archives. Here you can search the many descriptions of
archival documents, photographs, and textual records that we
have fully processed.
Local historian Neil Godkin hard at work
with his research.
The individual item level is not on this database, but we do
have much of it scanned to be researched at the Library. The
original documents are properly stored and preserved in the
Archive Room and can be accessed upon appointment when
the Library is open.
Joanne Monner demonstrates scanned records, documents and photos.
Library & Archives Hosts a Milo Memories Night
Many thanks to the members of the Library Board and Friends for the delicious lunch provided for the event. The monetary
support provided by the Milo Lions Club with the creation of the Milo Lions Fellowship is fundamental for this ongoing
project.
We hope to do this again some Saturday afternoon providing more time for individuals to browse through the collection.

TRICKSTER THEATRE AT MILO SCHOOL
Milo School’s holiday performance this year was Thursday, December 19.
Students and staff worked with Trickster Theatre to develop the production that week.
The school gym was set up with the “stage” basically in the middle,
the audience seated around 3 sides, and the traditional stage was set up for a shadow play.
There were a number of different little plays by various grades,
singing and drumming in between sets by Alex Scalplock and the Natosapi drummers,
dancing with audience participation to a native dance and the Virginia reel,
the shadow play (picture above), and refreshments after.
A huge thank you to the many, many people who worked so hard to make this a special night!

My thoughts Rev. Gordon Cranch
I receive emails from the Society of St John the Evangelist monastery in
Cambridge, Mass. This is a summary of a bit of Monastic Wisdom from Br. David
Vryhof.
I have a memory of my fifth grade teacher asking us to write a short paragraph
describing the things in our lives for which we were thankful. I sat for the longest
time just staring at that piece of paper. I couldn't think of a thing for which I was
thankful.
I was surrounded by gifts, but didn't recognize them as gifts, and I couldn't begin
to express my gratitude for them. I naively assumed that everyone had food and
clothing, a loving family and a comfortable home. I was unaware of how
privileged I was to enjoy these gifts on a daily basis, and simply took them for
granted.
Gratitude springs from the awareness that we have been given a gift. Often this
awareness comes upon us in sudden and unexpected ways. We are walking along
and suddenly our breath is taken away by the beauty of autumn leaves, or we are
talking with a close friend and suddenly we realize what a gift this day is and how
unexpected and undeserving we are. Our lives have been enriched. We feel
grateful.
We can nurture a spirit of gratitude by cultivating our awareness that we are
surrounded by gifts. But to become aware of these gifts is not enough. Gratitude
moves beyond the recognition of the gift to the recognition of the giver. In some
ways, the gift itself is secondary in importance. What is more important is the
exchange that takes place when we express our gratitude. The offering of a gift is
only complete when we receive it with gratitude, and when that gratitude is
expressed. Without the expression of gratitude, something is missing, for both
the giver of the gift and the one who receives it.
We Christians proclaim that God is the giver of all good gifts. We acknowledge
that all that we have and all that we are is the result of God's divine goodness
and love. God is the giver of every good gift: the gifts of nature, the gifts we
receive in and through others, even the gifts of our selves.

A long-time member of the Milo
Community recently reached a milestone
birthday, and a milestone it is proving to
be for the whole community!
Jack Sutherland, a friend to many in
the district, has made a very generous donation
of 100,000 to the Lions Club of
Milo, recognizing the nearly 65 years of
service that this club has provided to Milo
and Queenstown. In the spirit of Mr. Sutherland's
donation, the Club has decided
that these funds will be directed toward
the Milo Community Hall Kitchen Renovation
Project, rehabilitating a facility that has
served the community well since 1985.
While this project is organized under the
auspices of the Milo & District Agricultural
Society (the organization that owns the
hall), President Lloyd Deitz graciously
thanked Mr. Sutherland, on behalf of Milo
Lions, at the milestone birthday celebration
on November 23rd.
December proved to be another busy month for
the club. Not unlike Wayne Newton in Las Vegas,
Milo's own Mr. Entertainment, Lion Greg Deitz, made
a come back tour as bingo caller at the Pancake Supper
and Turkey Bingo on December 6th. Fifteen turkeys
were won, funds were raised for club projects,
and the Milo School Council raised significant dollars
from their bake sale. Everyone was happy to see Lion Greg
back in action!
The Lions Christmas Party was on the third Wednesday
of December. A great turnout was had for this annual
Stag Night, celebrating the season with complementary
beer and loads of Chinese food. The Club would like to
thank Master Chef, Wayne Lin, for his contribution toward
the festivities! The dishes he

Candy bags were

My thoughts... R^vere^to! ^oroloi/v Crfli/vch
Here we are at the lead up to Christmas. In the Christian
Church this is the season of Advent. In terms of children, it is
the eternity that lays between them and the opening of gifts
piled high under the tree. But there is that little clause put in by
Santa Claus - he knows who has been naughty or
nice. Imagine having to be nice to your brother/sister for
a whole month! The other 11 months apparently didn't count.
Most of us, I am afraid, deserve the lump of coal treatment.
Sprinkled throughout the Bible are many lists of things to do and things not to do. But
for those of us that often come up a bit short, we should refer to St Paul's letter to
Timothy. His main instruction is, "Do your best." When it comes right down to is,
that is all we can do. We can strive to be more Christian, better Christians, more like
Christ - just better people - but all we can do is our best. It seems that some are
better at doing their best than we are. St Francis was probably the closest to best that
this world can produce and the rest of us struggle with the burden of striving for
goodness.
At Christmas, it is even more of challenge to 'do your best.' There are so many
temptations in our world. But I don't think that anywhere is it written that life is
meant to be easy. Our choices get wider and wider and the chances of choosing
correctly each and ever time are slim. But the goal isn't to achieve, but to
attempt.
♦
So at this festive and joyous time don't set yourself up for failure, just do your best.
And if you are sincere in this effort, then that is enough. God is nothing if not
forgiving.

This month’s book
club read is “The
Dreamers” by Karen
Thompson
Walker. “In an isolated
college town
in the hills of
Southern California,
a freshman
girl stumbles into
her dorm room,
falls asleep—and
doesn’t wake up.
She sleeps through
the morning, into
the evening. Her
roommate, Mei,
cannot rouse her.
Neither can the
paramedics who
carry her away,
nor the perplexed
doctors at the hospital.
Then a second
girl falls
asleep, and then
another, and panic
takes hold of the
college and
spreads to the
town. “
The next meeting
is ‘to be determined’
in January.

Acting on behalf of the club, Lions Christopher
Northcott and Allan Bartsch participated in the annual
Remembrance Day Service at the Milo Community
School. Lion Allan found a guest speaker for
the event, Sgt. Todd Giberson, who has served with
the Canadian Forces since 1986. Sgt. Giberson is
currently Assistant Curator/Collections Manager
and Archivist for the Lord Strathcona's Horse Royal
Canadians at the Military Museum in Calgary. The
Milo Lions have assisted the school with the annual
Remembrance Day Service since 2013, providing
donuts for the coffee afterwards for even longer.
Lions Calendars should be available for purchase
by the second week of December. These
make excellent stocking stuffers and can purchased
at Milo Green Foods or directly from the dub. Lions
Doug Bushell, Alvin Winch, Pete Silbernagel and Neal
Deitz can be contacted regarding the direct purchase of
calendars.
The Milo Lions Stag Night Christmas Party will be
on Wednesday, December 18th, and the club will ensure
that Santa Claus visits the students and teachers at the
Milo Community School on the morning of December
19th—whether he wants to or not!

It was a breezy day in a warm, dry January as I made my way west, where I
found yet another retired piece of equipment, still standing proud, refusing
to rust into oblivion. This rake stood as a reminder of when farming was far
smaller, consisting of many more narrow passes across a field, exposed to
the elements. Rather than raking, its work was now to hold up a wire gate
when open. It was doing an excellent job.

Milo School News
Kirk's Corner
Well according to the Milo Mustang Groundhogs (a.k.a our
class pop up groundhogs), we have 6 more weeks of winter.
This past week of frigid weather sure made that prediction
accurate. In March we’ll be counting Lion (stormy cold weather)
and Lamb (mild nice weather) days. I don’t know about you, but
I am ready for “Lamb Days”. In March Paddy comes back! That
means we will be making traps for our building unit. Maybe this
year we will catch him :)
In language arts we are starting our research unit. This year
students will be researching animals that live in Alberta. They
will learn about “key ideas” and writing outlines from text. Then
they will use their outlines to write paragraphs. The final project
will be done on Google Slides.
In math we are continuing to practice and memorize basic
facts for addition and subtraction of facts families to 18. The
grade 1s will be adding one digit numbers up to 20, the grade
2s will be adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers, and grade 3s
will be adding 3 digit numbers. The grades 2-3 will learn how to
add and subtract with and without regrouping.
Science across the grades:
Grade 1 will be building mini objects of everyday things. We
will be learning different ways to attach items with glue, tape,
pipe cleaners, and paper clips. They will also complete a miniunit
in Spring. We will be looking for signs of spring to add to
our spring chart.
Grades 2-3 starting their unit on Exploring

Please join us for breakfast on this special day.
Hope Lutheran Church of Milo cordially invites everyone to join with them on Good Friday,
th
March 25 , 2016 to a breakfast at 10:00 AM, followed by a service at 11:00.
In addition, for those wanting to celebrate Easter, and its spirit of rebirth and hope, the Easter Sunday service will be held at 9:00 AM, Sunday March 27th.M7 iVurvujM
When we were last In England, we went to Sunday service at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. It was the early service and the chairs had been arranged in a large circle right under the dome that dominates the London skyline. After the service, we were in line to exit by one of the side doors and Bev gives me a nudge, and I looked over to see “The Light of the World" in all its glory. We stood and marvelled for some time and promptly went to the crypt to buy 3 copies to bring home. The picture is a sermon in a painting and to explain further, I will use the explanation published on the back of one of my copies.
Painted in 1878 by Holman Hunt, the picture travelled thousands of miles around the world before being installed in St Paul's in 1904. The picture is based on Revelation 3:20:
Behold! I stand at the door and knock; if any man hears my voice, and opens the door, I will come in and sup with him, and he with me.
Let us study the picture. Note first the crown of thorns. This is a reminder that the King of Glory was once crowned in Jerusalem with a crown of thorns. The hands too are pierced, again, a reminder of the crucifixion:
Was it the nails, 0 Saviour, that bound Thee to the tree? Nay, twas Thine everlasting love, Thy love forme, forme.
Note that the feet are turned away from the door. He has been knocking for some time and is readying to leave. The priestly robes are a reminder that He is the Great High Priest, giving His life as a sacrifice for all. The eyes are painted so that they are looking straight at you - no matter your location. Just as Jesus sees everything that we do, even now. You can see looking at the door's surroundings that it is a door not often used: the dead weeds, trailing ivy and rusty hinges. A life without Christ is no life at all.
There is no latch, bolt or handle on the outside of the door; it must be opened from the inside. Jesus stands patiently on the outside and waits to be invited in.
Hunt portrays Christ holding a lantern that lights up himself, his features, the doorway, and the way ahead. To those in spiritual darkness, he is waiting to enter their lives and flood it with the light of eternal life.
There is promise in the painting. Jesus has said IF the door is opened, He will come in - not a maybe - there is a certainty in His promise. One smart young lad on hearing the story, said 'Maybe they were out at the back'. There are many possible reasons why we have ignored the knocking at our door - at work, out enjoying ourselves, sleeping, TV too loud - all kinds of excuses.
The picture is a reminder to us to listen closely for Christ's knock at the door. We would not want to miss out on the opportunity to dine with the Light of the World.

10 Things Every Parent Should Know About Play
1. Children Learn through Play
Cognitive Skills — like math and problem solving in a pretend grocery store
Physical Abilities - like balancing blocks and running on the playground New Vocabulary - like the words they need to play with toy dinosaurs Social Skills - like playing together in a pretend car wash Literacy Skills - like creating a menu for a pretend restaurant
2. Play helps children grow strong and healthy.
3. Play reduces stress. It provides an outlet for anxiety and stress.
4. There are many types of play: symbolic (i.e. pretending a clothes basket is a car), socio-dramatic (Playing Dr.- Baby is sick or role playing Mommy and Daddy), functional (playing with objects according to their intended purpose), and games with rules - to name just a few.
5. Make time for play and trust your own instincts. Remember as a child how play just came naturally?
6. Play provides rich learning opportunities and leads to children’s success and self-esteem.
7. Play outside.

Check out the following link: http://forgottenalberta.com/
Forgotten Alberta is dedicated to preserving the history of southeastern Alberta, Canada's almost forgotten pioneer-era people and places.
Founded in 1909, Liberty School served the Majorville community north of Milo for 30 years. The advent of consolidated school districts during the dry years led to the school's closure in 1939. In the years that followed, the school hosted several community events, and was the setting for the 1987 National Film Board production, "Prairie Woman".

• bertschyl3 Hey man I live on the farm right across from Liberty
• jameswrlinton Discovered something today that states that my great grandparents lived in Majorville 100 years ago in 1916. Not sure what took them from Southern Ontario to Alberta. Enjoyed going through your photos - very well done.
forgotten_alberta@jameswrlinton Thanks for dropping by, and for the kind words! Many people from S. ON and the U.S. Midwest ended up in these parts a century ago. The lure of cheap land and big dreams brought most. Very few lasted past the '20s.Majorville Cairn

Following our visit to the Maiorville Medicine Wheel and Cairn, Greg and I trekked westward across an ocean of parched grassland, passing a wedding party, abandoned homesteads, and iconic remnants of the community's pioneer past. We then detoured south for a delicious burger and a glimpse of a prairie rarity on the edge of Milo.
Queenstown once boasted a bustling commercial sector, including a hotel, five grain elevators, several stores, a school, and numerous private residences. Eclipsed by the nearby center of Milo during the ‘20s and ‘30s, Queenstown slowly withered to its current size. Today a handful of homes and abandoned buildings are the last remnants of a prosperous pioneer-era community.Invisible

Presented by the Milo & District Recreation BoardSkate-A-Thon 2016
On February 15 community members travelled to Lomond to take part in the Family Day Skate- A-Thon. With approximately 30 skaters of all ages hitting the ice we raised a total of 4,982 for the Milo Playground Enhancement Project. The two top pledge earners were Doug Bushell and Shea Wickstrom. A huge thank you to everyone who came out and helped bring in pledges. Also a big thank you goes out to the Lomond Community Centre and Ag Society who donated the ice rental for the event. We would also like to thank Milo Green Foods for donating the hot dog buns for lunch, Wolfe's Flome Hardware in Vulcan for donating a composite stick for the prize table, the Vulcan County Early Childhood Development Coalition for donating the hot chocolate to the event as well prizes for our prize table and the Milo and District Recreation Board for their donation towards the hot dog lunch and prizes. Thank you to all the ladies who donated their time to baking awesome treats for the bake sale which helped to raise 2,031 in pledges, he won a Sean Monahan signed Calgary Flames jersey donated by the Milo and District Recreation Board.
Shea Wickstrom was the second top pledge earner with $410 in pledges and he won a composite hockey stick donated by Wolfe's Home Hardware.CranioSacral Therapy is now available
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a “light touch” approach that involves gently first assessing the tension in soft tissues surrounding the major components of your central nervous system - primarily the head, spine and pelvic areas. Then I use proven body manipulation techniques to relieve stress from those areas, beginning with a touch as light as the weight of a nickel.
Sessions are generally deeply relaxing, and create feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in

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.

pleasures. - Age 26

have followed me there. - Age 29
• I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about
me, I must live so that no one will believe it.
- Age 39

just don’t know how to show it. - Age 41
• I’ve learned that you can make someone’s day by simply
sending them a little card. - Age 44

SYNC returns: Free summer
audiobooks for teens
What is
SYNC?
SYNC is a free program for
teens 13+ that will give
away two complete audiobook
downloads every
week through July, pairing
high-interest titles with
weekly themes. It's the
perfect program to encourage
teens to read more so
they don’t end up wandering
into that most dreaded
of all places to be while
they’re on vacation - the
summer slide...
Join us on Tuesday, April
23 to learn more about the
program, including how
and why titles are chosen
and paired together, how it
works in conjunction with
the OverDrive app, why
audiobooks play an important
part in teen reading
habits.

My thoughts... Rev. Gordon Cranch
If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be
enough. Meister Eckhart
October brings us to Thanksgiving Day, the one day set aside to give thanks, in
this case, for the harvest. Families will join together for a turkey dinner, and in a
few of those homes, will stop to give thanks to the Creator for all the goodness
and loving kindness given to us, His most unworthy children. This Thanksgiving
Day what do we have to be thankful in the Year of Our Lord 2020?
While the world is still in the grips of a pandemic, we can give thanks that we
have been spared, thus far. Perhaps we can be grateful for the extra time spent
with our immediate family (yes, I know that can be a two edged sword) and all
the more grateful as we can expand beyond our immediate family albeit slowly
and carefully. This year has resulted in bountiful crops, with an early harvest,
plentiful yields, good harvesting weather - a harvest season not seen in quite a
few years.
But, of course, we should not need a day of the year, or even a bountiful harvest
to give thanks to God. The many blessings bestowed on us are beyond measure,
but we take them for granted. A war refugee, a person fleeing from persecution,
someone with no food or shelter, clean water, no sanitation - I don't think these
people would be quite so thankless if they were to change places with us. We can
see the horrors on TV each night, but that is far away, and we are so far removed
that it really does not affect us. There but for the grace of God...
So if for only once in your life say thank you and that will be enough.
When it comes to life, the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take
them with gratitude.
G. K. Chesterton

ATB Financial Agency Milo
Did you know that the ATB Financial agency in Milo was brought to
us by an individual, not ATB per se? And did you know that this
person, as an entrepreneur, built the building we now see on Main
Street with their own capital, at their own risk? Well, it's true. In
fact that person also set up the agency in Arrowwood, as well as
managing the location in Bassano.
That person is Ms. Virginia Toly, and we at the Can Opener are very
pleased to present you with another community profile.
First a bit about Virginia:
• She was born in England, and immigrated when she was nine
months old. Her father was a teacher, and answered the call in
Canada for teachers. After a brief return to England to care for
Virginia's grandfather, the family returned to Canada and settled
in Tilley.
• After high school Virginia attended the University of Lethbridge
for two years, but like many of us, didn't find a particular career
path that called out to her.
• However, Virginia did fall in love, and settled in Rolling Hills to
raise a family, before moving to Bassano.
• One day Virginia happened to be in the bank in Bassano, who
were looking for staff. (She was hired the next day.) Virginia first
worked in Bassano, then managed there, for 15 years.
• Virginia has two sons: one is a Fish & Wildlife Officer in High Level
Alberta, and the other is an electrician with Pronghorn
Instrumentation out of Bassano.
• Virginia lives with her partner Reg (who has three sons!) on an
acreage.
Virginia Toly in front of the ATB Financial Agency
in Arrowwood
About five years ago, after a broad corporate decision by Scotiabank
to close many rural branches, the opportunity arose for ATB Financial
Agencies in Arrowwood and Milo. As an entrepreneur, Virginia did
her research, and personally put up the risk capital to build an
agency office (from the vacant lot up) in Milo, and renovate a space
in Arrowwood. (It should be noted that while Scotiabank did donate
their premises to the town of Milo, they stipulated that no financial
institution should occupy it. We need to remember that Main Street
Milo simply did not have a vacant and appropriate building to
replace the Scotia Bank.)
The ATB Financial agency building
on Main Street in Milo.
Virginia visited Milo before taking her financial "leap of faith", and
found Milo to be "a very cohesive community right from the get-go".
She had curled in Milo, so certainly knew the town. Virginia was also
struck by the anger within the community at losing a financial
institution which they had faithfully supported for 100 years, through
world wars and a depression. Virginia is in fact the owner of the ATB
Financial building in Milo, so you could say that in Milo, ATB Financial
services are brought to us by Virginia Toly! Four years ago the new
branches in Milo and Arrowwood opened to the public. When I
complemented Virginia on the beautiful small building that now
houses the Milo ATB financial agency, she modestly referred to it as
a "nice little space" that houses everything she and her staff need.
I asked Virginia if she likes to cook. She replied to me that she has
been previously advised to regularly dust her oven. Like many
people who live in a retail environment during the day, meeting,
greeting, and conversing, Virginia enjoys calm and quiet evenings.
Virginia doesn't like winter, but does enjoy curling. Proof of Virginia's
love for summer is her white convertible.
I also asked Virginia (again, as a successful entrepreneur) for advice
she would offer to children, or young people. Virginia's answer was
to start small, but start. Many young people view a bank account as
just a temporary holding facility, where money waits to be
withdrawn, often in its entirety, and spent on a short-term item.
Instead, Virginia's advice was to have that separate savings account,
where a portion of earned money could be left alone, and "learn to
leave it".
In terms of financial advice for young couples to retirees, Virginia
was quick to point out that we should never think that investing, or
research about finances, is too difficult, or must be done alone.
Virginia also stressed that she is part of a team of personal bankers
with the emphasis on "personal".
If you have a goal in mind, Virginia Toly and her team at ATB
Financial Milo, Arrowwood, & Bassano can help you get there.
