Present were Mayor Bath, Councillor Vooys, Municipal Administrator Colleen Deitz and Townman Mike Hingley. The minutes of the meeting held on January 20, 1997, and minutes for the special meetings held on January 23, 1997 and January 31, 1997 were read. Mayor Bath moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED. MOVED by Mayor Bath that the Village apply for the S.T.E.P. grant again this year. CARRIED. Council discussed with Townman Mike Hingley, the fact that others were cleaning the streets, at no request from council. Council and the Townman appreciate this work by other residents, however at some places, problems have occurred where large clumps of ice were left. Mike advised that he would appreciate a call when they are doing the cleaning, and then he could make sure that he went out and opened driveways and alleys. Mike Hingley advised that he will be going to Vulcan in the mornings for the first week in March. This is in accordance to the agreement that the Village has with the Town of Vulcan on the running of the Water Treatment Plant. Mike Hingley also requested that we have McPherson & Thom run over the operation of the plant with him. We have had several requests for Village pins. The Hardware has about 20 pins left. Council discussed us obtaining these pins, and Mayor Bath will discuss with Ron MacLeod. The Village has been approved for a $50,000 Street Improvement Grant. Municipal Administrator will contact the engineers, and advise them to proceed. MOVED by Mayor Bath that Reg Cusick be appointed as our assessor for the 1998 assessment. Townman Mike Hingley advised that the manifold is cracked on the Garbage Truck. The cost for a used part is $150.00 plus labor, or $700 new. At present we have used JB weld to temporally repair. Council discussed the purchase of another truck. Mayor Bath advised that she would look into. Council discussed the new infrastructure grant that is out. MOVED by Councillor Vooys, that we apply for this grant for sidewalk repairs. CARRIED. MOVED by Mayor Bath that when the repaving of the west entrance is done, that the intersection be made into a proper T intersection with the Highway (that which was proposed in the July Canopener to Village residents). CARRIED. The next Council Meeting for the Village of Milo was set for March 17, 1997 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office.Councillors Comments The new Shop Serviceman has been hired and has started working for the County. A new office person has also been hired and will start about the middle of April. The paper shuffle seems to be endless. With their new person all the office girls will start to learn each others jobs. When the ground thaws out, the county fencer will be out and start repairing the fences that were damaged during winter snow plowing. It seems most of our roads have water running over them and some of them may be wet for some time. Soft roads may be around for several months. The county ran out of red flags and road barricades and had to purchase more. Nick and Garry have worked many long days and most weekends for the last several months. I don't see any break for any county employees for awhile. I would like to thank these two hard workers for their efforts in trying to keep the danger spots marked or closed off. There seems to be no end to the trouble we are having with the Provincial Government Highway District Manager. We feel we have bent over backwards to supply him with the right information but he always seems to want something else. We are very disappointed and are not sure what paving will get done. Some of your council is meeting with the new Minister to try to straighten this mess out. The road to Lomond 534 has a culvert washed out about 7 miles east of Vulcan so that part of the road has a detour around it. The new Milo garbage facility will be built this summer and should be finished by September 30. It may not be open until January though. This will include a pesticide site so we can put our spray there next year. The garbage from their building will be hauled to Lethbridge to the Kedon Waste disposable site. As most of you probably know now, there is a huge new elevator to be built south of the P & H elevator in Vulcan. It will be about 3 times as big too. Also there are some other new businesses related to Agriculture that are looking at areas in the county to locate. These new business ventures require a lot of information so I think the Economic Development Office and local realtors have some busy days ahead.As soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests came together, and led him into their council. And it was about the sixth hour (maybe 12 oc'clock) -- and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. And the sun was darkened. "Weep not for me," He said to the Daughters of Jerusalem. "Weep for yourselves and for your children-- For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" . And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, and put his own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him. And as they came out of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear His cross.- And when they were come into a place called Golgotha— Book of Matthew Milo U.C.W. Meeting March 7/97 The meeting was opened with the U.C.W.Purpose. Four ladies were present. The minutes and treasur­ers reports were read and adopted. Janetta made a motion we give some money to the Church. Seconded by Margaret. Carried. Margaret, Janetta and Marilyn H. will make white cakes for the Extendicare March birthday party. Janetta and Marilyn H. will each make muffins for Presbytery at Arrowwood on March 2 3rd. Margaret will look after getting rose bowls for Lil and Gladys for Easter. Correspondances-Thankyou from the Papp Family. The meeting closed with the Lord's Prayer. Zola served a lovely lunch.is a Hess MILO SCHOOL NEEDS MORE CARE We have not been happy to see our community school t in such a haphazard way by the janitorial staff .

You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around. 2. - You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called life. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid. 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial and error, experimentation. Tne “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately “works”. 4. A lesson is repeated until learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it When you have learned it, you can then go on to the next lesson. 5. Learning lessons does not end. There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned. 6. “There” is not better than “here”. When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will, again, look better than “here”. 7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it rreflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. 8. What you make of life is up to you. You have all die tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours. 9. Your answers lie inside you. Tne answers to life’s questions lie inside you. All you need to do is look, listen and trust 10. -You will forget all this. BORN TO DIEa I think that I can almost see That small Judean town That night, two thousand years ago. When Chrl3t, the Lord, camo down. The Inn, the shops, the flat-topped homes Where weary pilgrims slept. The nearby softly rolling hills Where fleecy flocks wore kept. And then I think I see the sky Aglow with hoav'nly light. As angel messengers proclaim: "The Christ Is born tonight!" I see the shepherds hasten To whore the Baby lay, A stable bare, a manger bed; But — "God with us" that day! And when I think of Bethlehem, I think of Calvary; A lonely hill, a rugged cross, A death of agony. For Ho. the Babe of Bethlehem, Was born, His life to give! And willingly He gave His life That you and I might live I — Geneva ShowermorMilo Municipal Library News a member of the Chinook Arch Regional Library System New Items: April Bestsellers: "Invasion" by Robin Cook "Tick Tock" by Dean Koontz "Floaters" by Joseph Wambaugh "Extreme Denial" by David Morrell "Vegas Ric
