LOCAL FIRE AUGUST 29 This fire on the Larkins (Greaves) property northeast of Milo started on stubble after a truck went by. It started at Township Road 202 and burned north to the row of trees on the property. It was contained by the quick action of local farmers and Milo Fire Dept and standing wheat crops immediately south and west of this field were spared. Over 40,000 gallons of water was used on the blaze.

Phone (403) 599-2204 HERE FOR OUR STUDENTS! HERE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES! "Students are the number one reason I want your support - to ensure a safe, respectful environment no matter who you are" "Bully’s are not welcome! Not on the playground, not in the classroom or in the board room" Respect and Inclusion are key. "Our Town and Villages depend on successful schools and thriving students.... maintaining a history of energy, of collaboration and successes." Pallister School Division - Ward 2, Subdivision 1 Trustee. On October 16, VOTE Marilyn Fay MacArthur Trustee My thoughts... Revered "The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things. We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less. ■ 9 These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete... Remember to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Remember to give a warm hug tothe one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent. - Remember to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind." Author Unknown October Services: Sunday 22nd-9:00 am see you. u/v ckixrch!

An Alberta Operator’s License with a Milo address would be ideal. If you have recently moved to the Village, see the Alberta Municipal Affairs Voter Identification Requirements bulletin (also posted here) and available, along with other election information, at http://www.municipalaffairs.alberta.ca/mc elections P.0 Box 65, Milo, Alberta, Canada. T0L 1L0 www.villageofmilo.ca Tel:(403) 599-3883 Fax:(403) 599-2201 Government RIGHT ID RIGHT TO VOTE^ VOTER IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS Proof of identity and current residence is now required to be able to vote in municipal elections. Any of the following documents that has your name and address on it will be accepted as valid proof: ■ Photo identification issued by a Canadian government or agency, whether federal, provincial or local; ■ Bank/credit card statement or personal cheque; ■ Correspondence issued by a school, college or university; ■ Government cheque or cheque stub; ■ Income/property tax assessment notice; ■ Insurance policy or coverage card; ■ Letter from a public curator, public guardian or public trustee; • Pension Plan statement of benefits, contributions or participation; ■ Residential lease or mortgage statement; ■ Statement of government benefits: e.g. Employment insurance, old-age security, social assistance, disability support, or child tax benefit; ■ Utility bill: e.g. Telephone, public utilities commission, television, electricity, gas or water; ■ Vehicle ownership, registration or insurance certificate; or ■ A letter or form (attestation) confirming that the person lives at the stated address. The letter can be signed by any of the following: ■ authorized representative of a commercial property management company; ■ authorized representative of a correctional institution; ■ authorized representative of a First Nations band or reserve; 2 authorized representative of a post-secondary institution; ■ authorized representative of a facility that provides services to the homeless; or ■ authorized representative of a supportive living facility or treatment centre; Frequently Asked Questions What if I don’t have any photo ID like a driver’s license?' • It doesn’t matter. Just bring anything else you have from the above list that has your name and address on it. Do I need more than one document? • No, only one document with your name and address is needed. * What if all of my documents have a post office box address? • That is ok. As long as it makes sense that a person in your voting subdivision or ward would have a post office box at your mailing address, it will be accepted. The post office box doesn’t have to be in your voting subdivision or ward - just reasonably close by. I used to have to sign a form to say that I am eligible. Do I still have to sign that form? • Yes, you will still have to sign the Statement of Elector Eligibility as well as provide one of the above documents that contains your name and address. What if I don’t have any accounts or documents in my own name? • Have your landlord, facility, or organization manager sign a letter or form (attestation) to confirm your address, and bring it with you to the voting station. Your municipality may have a form that you can use, so check with them. You will have to do this before you come to vote, so plan ahead. * These are the basic requirements for all Alberta municipalities. Your local municipality may have additional requirements or accept additional types of ID. Please check with them.

Once the learner knows the basics of how the iPad works, we will go into the basic operations of how to navigate and how to download apps. This course is designed to help with the comfort of using your tablet (iPad) and give the confidence to be able to use it as a tool or simply have fun. Where: Milo Library - no cost Tuesdays, 10:00 -11:00 a.m. October 17 - November 21 Instructor: Dawn Titterington Internet cafe Participants come from all walks of life and have varying degrees of knowledge and experience with computers. The common factor among all learners is the desire to learn a new skill and keep up with the new generation of technology. This program has been successful as we have had many repeat learners. Some of the benefits realized by the learners is the ability to stay connected with their children and grandchildren through their newly learned skills and a renewed self-confidence. Many learners come to the first class thinking they will never be capable of learning the skills required to create a document, send an email or browse the web. But within a few weeks they are doing all of those things and more.

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 areas being worked by the therapist. Chronic pain, particularly in the neck and back, and the related discomfort and life stress issues chronic pain causes, can be safely relieved. Think of this as a massage designed for your nervous system instead of muscle tissu
