Thank you to the advertisers, subscribers, people who delivered the paper, to the young people who put their art work on the front cover, to those who took time to write poems, write-up etc during the last 101/2 years. We really appreciate all your hard work and support. We would like to wish the new staff good luck and hope you have as much fun as we did putting the Can Opener together. Sheila Winch Levona Dixon Sue Ivers Marina Vannatta Carol Henry Carol Vooys Betty Lahd Kay Zaytsoff Betty Armstrong Zola Webber C ouncillors Comments These are my opinions and do not necessarily reflect County policy attended the Municipal convention in Edmonton last week and 1 don't think the Prov. Govt, is throwing money away yet. Everything we asked about was " about 1007- sure " or "if" maybe. Minister Ty Lund said they had done almost all they could as far as cash to farmers goes. But they are putting money into " value added " ventures. The Bow City Bridge is on the bottom of their 3 year plan and is estimated to cost 6 million to build. Highway 542 is "about 100%" to go in 2001. But they are only budgeting for about 6 miles this summer. The dirt crew is done now and the gravel crew is still working . They are hauling from the Vaage pit and will work until the gravel starts to freeze. We are working on our budget and our next step is to try to add or delete projects and purchases, in order to have a balanced budget. I don't think the County has ever had a deficit budget. We have made an offer to purchase the old Govt, storage facilities north of Vulcan We are about certain to get it. Volker Sfeyen has a lease on it now and they have the right to continue that lease. However we will get the lease money so the property will almost pay for itself in time We need to get our road salt out of Vulcan town so this seems like a good idea for us Grant Lahdff Happy Holidays from Diamond Hair Studio I Thank you for your patronage Wishing you all the best in the holiday season 8L through out the year!<^\l\sXX)j Ckxistmas and dB^sst ^Wislisi j~ox a (zsa My and (zajjjiLj a sax ansa nsad & Jt ^§UgN& 7*\ m &k s&- £& ££j&. .Vs/ y J§ ^ (l & <S Checdiue of a sill11 (403) 599-2466 Toll free: 1-888-599-8908 Fax(403)599-2467 P.O.

A special thank you to Pat and Val for your help and guidance. Pastor Ed for the uplifting message, so full of hope for Arty and also for those of us who remain.

The school supplies needed to fill 12 school bags for children in poorer nations, were finally assembled and the girls very much enjoyed sending them off knowing a needy child will now be able to go to school. The extra funds needed to purchase these supplies came from the Brownies’ larger than usual sale of mint chocolate cookies last year. It was a very proud unit of Brownies, who carried the colors (flags) in the Remembrance Day program at the school. All Milo school staff should be applauded for the efforts they made to organize the students into a very well done, thoughtful program. It is the time of the year for Enrolment! November 29th, is the day that our two new girls, Taylor Nelson and Danielle Simmonds will become Real Brownies. Family and friends are invited to this special ceremony.
