June 19Village of Milo The regular meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Wednesday, April 13, 1994 at 5:30 p.m. in the Village Office. Present were Mayor Umscheid, Coucillors Monner and Hingley, Municipal Administrator Lynda Cyr and Bill Brown. The minutes of the meeting held on March 30, 1994 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. Council read with interest the financial statement for the Village of Milo which was dated December 31, 1962. This was given to the Village from the Bushell family who found it in their records. It will be kept on file in the vault. Mayor Umscheid asked Lynda Cyr to write letters to the County of Vulcan from the Milo & District Recreation Board and the Milo Fire Association stating their requisitions will remain the same. Councillor Monner said he had attended a Solid Waste Management Authority meeting. Lomond is still not in favour of the transfer station being put near their village. The Engineers and Alta. Environment feel since there is this opposition, the Authority should be looking for an alternate site in the County. If they can find a site near a transfer station* then that transfer station could be eliminated which would then save some costs. The quotes received from the• surveyors were read and discussed. Lynda Cyr is to contact W.D. Surveys to see if he will still charge $ 165.00 per lot plus G.S.T. if only two lots are surveyed. Lynda Cyr has been talking to Rick Kowalik in . regards to the street improvement program. The money would be available this summer but they will need an update or revised cost estimate with a sketch of the work and a committment from Council that they will proceed with the work this year. The original estimate was $ 118,000.00 with the Village's share being 29,300.00 and $ 85,004.77 coming from the grant and $ 3,140.00 under the Community Safe Streets element. Council do not feel they can make a committment at this time as they have to wait on the asphalt plant and some basic prices and plans. Lynda Cyr is to phone Rick telling him this. In reference to the Municipal Emergency Plan Lynda is to phone Garnet Walker with Alberta Pub lio-Services. Council are in favour of the plan but on a smaller scale. A special meeting will be held to discuss this in detail. One application has been received for the summer student job. The deadline for applications will be May 10. Councillor Hingley made a motion that the Village of Milo accept the Five Year Master plan for the Milo & District Recreation Board. CARRIED. Mayor Umscheid said he had been contacted by an engineer who is going to be retained by the Town of Vulcan. He would be interested in meeting with Council and discussing the services he has. He has done municipal work. Council would like to meet with him. Bill Brown said he had been talking to Terry Mullinger, and he will be in Miloone day next week. He will be using the pump that was purchased from Sebo in the new system. Bill is to call Sebo in regards to the invoice we have received from them. Council feel that the second bill should be cancelled. The road coming into the Village by Koch Oil is in poor shape again. A discussion followed about this. Lynda Cyr said she has sent a letter requesting an application form for the Infrastructure program.

SOLID COLO COURTESY & RENTAL VEHICLES AVAILABLE LOWING AVAILABLECOUNCILOR'S COMMENTS Well it's surprising what 4 inches of rain can do for you or to you, depending how you make your living. The farmers are very pleased with the much needed moisture. The truckers were fighting muddy roads and bogged down equipment. In the Milo, Majorville area where the heaviest rain fell the roads were taking an awful beating. It was for this reason the county imposed a 50% road ban. We used 50% as this enabled some emergency trucking to take place and also the removal of some vehicles from the area that were already here. We received some frantic calls from some well servicing companies wanting to bring in or remove their equipment, but they were all turned down. I now feel we should have put the road ban on one day sooner as a lot of damage was done to our roads on Wednesday. Because of the heavy damage Nick and Allen brought in two more road graders and worked two days in Division 7 to help Norm get the local roads back in a safe driving condition. I'm sure many people are thankful for this as now we can travel on our roads at our regular speed again. It appears to me that there will be some argument over who will pay for the bridge damage west of Queenstown. Or even if the bridge will be replaced. Anyone wanting gravel from the county pits - the day to haul is Wednesday only. You will have to call the county office to see what pit the gravel crew is working out of. As the truck drivers now load themselves we will send a man to the pit on Wednesday to load farm vehicles. They will be loaded after the county gravel trucks are loaded. I don't know when the crew will be in this area. When I questioned the school board chairman about the negotiation with Foothills school division, it seemed to me all was not well. Our board has now been talking to Lethbridge board and may have a meeting with County of Newell . When the name of the new school division came up, Foothills said they weren't changing anything. When I asked about the compressed school week at Milo, Wayne said Foothills appeared to be uninterested. There are too many unanswered questions to be settled by September 1, 1994 I think. Apparently Foothills school meetings are nearly all closed door meetings. The public only hears the actual motion and none of the discussion that goes before. No way it should be like this. I hate to be critical of our board but I think a long meeting, going over the details of what they do and what we would like to do from here. The government says "Join somebody" so we are. Getting married and seeing how you get along doesn't work in my opinion. About 6 office workers from the county office wont have a job after the amalgamation takes place. Wayne didn't know if any of them would have a position offered them in the Foothills office or not. I would think at least 2 or more of the more senior staff should be able to replace junior type Foothills staff. Again no decision made. All office work would be done from the Foothills office, leaving little employment at Vulcan for school board office staff.MILO SLO PITCH LEAGUE DATE 6:00 8 : 00 MAY 30 MONDAY 2 VS 1 6 VS 7 JUNE 3 FRIDAY 3 VS 4 5 VS 8 JUNE 6 MONDAY 3 VS 6 4 VS 5 JUNE 9 THURSDAY 1 VS 8 2 VS 7 JUNE 14 TUESDAY 2 VS 6 1 VS 7 JUNE 16 THURSDAY 3 VS 5 4 VS 8 JUNE 20 MONDAY 3 VS 8 4 VS 7 JUNE 23 THURSDAY 1 VS 6 2 VS 5 JUNE 2 7 MONDAY 2 VS 4 1 VS 3 JUNE 30 THURSDAY 5 VS 6 7 VS 8 TEAMS 1) MILO SLO STARS --KEN FETKENHER 599-2307 2) QUEENSTOWN CLEANERS --GERALD DEITZ 599-2354 3) MAJORVILLE MOLESTERS —GORD VOOYS 599-2219 4) MILO POSSE --KYLE LAHD 599-2214 5) MILO ICE --LYLE NELSON 599-2426 6) QUEENSTOWN HACKERS --ANNE ZAYTSOFF 599-2251 7) NELSON COWBOYS --TOM NELSON 599-2426 8) EASTWAY PICK-UPS --GORD MARSHALL 485-6862 THIS IS THE NEW MILO SLO PITCH BASEBALL LEAGUE SPECTATORS ARE WELCOMETheatre Calqaru Trip a qnrrpcc Un May 12, the grades 5,6 &7 students at Milo Community School were very lucky! We went tu go see Anne of Green Gables, at Theatre Calgary. The play was a musical, and we really liked it! Also, everyone had excellent seats, too! i he play started out just like the book, and was for the whole play, except of course they cut out the least important parts. The main ciiar actef, Anne Shirley, suited the part perfectly. She was eneroetic very happy, and used very large words. Manila Cuthbert, 1 think, was not quite as nice as the Manila In the book. Matthew Cuthbert really suited his part, as well. One other character that was really believable was Rachel Lynd. one other thing that should definitely be recognized was the props, diiu the stage setup. It was incredible, and really made you feel like you yvK? o r lyhi mere in Green Gables, or the school house, or the store. They were done with obviously very good craftsmanship. One thing was for sure, they definitely made me want to jump down there and play around in them! One other thing that should be accounted for was the singing and dancing. It was very upbeat, and they were all Incredible singers. That music was so great that it either made you want to get up and dance, cry, sing along or just sit there, bug-eyed and hypnotized. The plot was good, also. They showed just enough of each scene, and just me ngm scenes to keep you with it, and attentive. A couple of scenes ■ would have liked to see was the dance, and when Josie Pye and Anne walked on the top of a roof. Some of the things that were different were where Matthew died, where Anne wore her new dress to, and she didn't recite that weird poem to a bunch of elderly ladies. some of the songs that they sang were "Where Is Matthew Going", "Anne of Green Gables", "Kindred Spirits" ,"ice Cream", "Summer's Over", "Lady Cordelia", "Gee, I’m Glad I'm No one else but Me", and much more. They were that kind of song that sticks in your head, and you just can't get it out. Su, overall, it was a great trip. I really enjoyed it, and I'm quite sure that everyone else that went did, too. 1 think that it is still playing, and if it comes back to this great facjjjt^-Theater Calgary-again, 1 really suggest that you go. It is a great experience, and 1 know that 1 will sure go again if I ever get the chance. by Megan VooysJAMIE’S A.G.
