This Massey 44 sits patiently in the sun, waiting for someone to pull the coffee pot off its exhaust stack, and fire it up. I can only imagine how proud I would be to take a short scenic drive on a tractor with so much history!” Photo by Cam Klem The Milo Can Opener A Community Newsletter published by Volunteers Layout Editors: Subscriptions Notices Cameron Klem Barb Godkin Barb Godkin Can be left at Milo Library Any Can Opener volunteer 403-485-1592 403-485-8389 403-485-8389 Is your Can Opener subscription due?

Gordon Cranch People expect this poor parish priest to be an example of Christian faith and life. I am expected to represent Christ in the community & world today. While I do try, I know that all too often I fail to show God's abundant grace. And how about you? Do people have any trouble knowing that you are a Christian in the best sense of that word? Too many are dedicated instead to 'churchianity'. They attend church faithfully but have no idea of what God has done and continues to do for them in their daily life. Their church life is centered on fellowship. All the baptised are called to share the gospel of Christ and to live their life as a Christian. Then there are the others who dare not set foot in the House of God for fear of being rejected for their appearance, their lifestyle. Yet many times they are the ones who treat God's lowliest creature with care and concern. They do not have any Christian education or knowledge of the Bible and the teachings of Christ, but the spirit of Christ works in the world through them. They walk the way of Christ without knowing the words of Christ. We are baptised into a living, day-to-day relationship with all of God's creation. If God is our focus, we will be given ample opportunity to say and show who Christ is for us. He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?

You're used to having extended conversations with people who dialed your phone number by mistake. You understand the sentence, "Could you please pass me a serviette, I just spilled my poutine." You eat chocolate bars instead of candy bars. You drink pop, not soda. You know what it means to be on pogey. You know that a mickey and 2-4's mean "Party at the camp, eh?!" You can drink legally while still a teen. You talk about the weather with strangers and friends alike. You don't know or care about the fuss with Cuba, it's just a cheap place to travel with good cigars and no Americans. You can drive 90 km per hour through a foot of snow without flinching. You help people find things in Home Depot - even though you don’t work there. Pike is a type of fish, not some part of a highway. You drive on a highway, not a freeway. You know what a Robertson screwdriver is. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers You know that Thrills are something to chew and "taste like soap”. You know that Mounties "don't always look like that." You dismiss all beers under 6% as "for children and the elderly." You know that the Friendly Giant isn't a vegetable product line. You know that Casey and Finnegan are not a Celtic musical group. You participated in "Participaction." You have booster cables in your vehicle, and your wife knows “Red to red, and black to black". You wonder why there isn't a 5 dollar coin yet. Like any international assassin/terrorist/spy in the world, you possess a Canadian passport. You know the French equivalents of "free", "prize", and "no sugar added", thanks to your extensive education in bilingual cereal packaging. You are excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada, and you make a mental note to talk about it at work the next day. You can do all the hand actions to Sharon, Lois and Bram's "Skin-a-ma- rinky-dinky-doo" opus. You can eat more than one maple sugar candy without feeling nauseous. You were mad when "The Beachcombers" were taken off the air. You know what a toque is. You have some memento of Bob and Doug, eh? You know Toronto is not a province. You never missed "Coach's Comer". Back bacon and Kraft Dinner are two of your favorite food groups. Canada is the home of: • Crispy Crunch. • Smarties • Salt & Vinegar chips. The size of Canadian footballs, football fields, and one less down. Lacrosse is Canadian. Hockey is Canadian. Basketball is Canadian. The biggest flags ever seen at the Olympic closing ceremonies were Canadian (twice...and the second one was smuggled in against a rule that was made because of the first one). Mr Dressup was better than Mr Rogers Maple Syrup is better than Mrs Butterworths and Aunt Jemima. Tim Hortons is better than Dunkin Donut's. In the war of 1812 we burned the White house and most of Washington. Canada has the largest French population in the world that never surrendered to Germany. Our "Civil war" was: • led by a drunken, insane William Lyon McKenzie and • a bar fight that lasted a little less than an hour. The only person arrested and hanged after our “Civil war” was an American mercenary who slept in and missed the whole fight, showing up just in time to get caught. We knew plaid flannel was cool way before Seattle did. The Hudson Bay company once owned 1/11th of the Earth's surface. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a grown human in less than three minutes. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo. We invented snowmobiles, jet skis, velcro, zippers, zambonis, and the handles on cardboard beer cases. We can hum the theme to "Definition". We know that any scale that says water boils at 212 and freezes at 32 is asinine. We've all frozen our tongues to something metal, and lived to tell about it. We can outdrink Americans. >lo library Irdjte Milo Library Mar 2020 . CHINOOK t ARCH REGIONAL StSTgM This month’s book club read is The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern In this mesmerizing de­but, a competition be­tween two magicians becomes a star-crossed love story. The circus arrives at night, without warning. No announcements pre­cede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within noctur­nal black and white striped tents awaits a unique experience, a feast for the senses, where one can get lost in a maze of clouds, mean­der through a lush gar­den made of ice, stand awestruck as a tattooed contortionist folds her­self into a small glass box, and gaze in won­derment at an illusionist performing impossible feats of magic. Our next meeting will be Wednesday March 25th, 7:00pm @ Tammy Lahd’s house.
