The special meeting of the Village of Milo was held on Tuesday, February 22, 1994 at 5:00 p.m. in the Village office.

Present were Mayor Umscheid, Councillors Monner and Hingley, Municipal Administrator, Lynda Cyr. Councillor Hingley left at 6:15 p.m.

The minutes of the meeting held on January 11, 1994 were read. Mayor Umscheid moved the adoption of these minutes. CARRIED.

Lynda Cyr reported that she had attended an Oldman River Regional Planning Commis­ sion Workshop for the "Future of O.R.R.P.C. Services to Member Municipalities" on Feb. 3 in Lethbridge. The government has announced that by 1996/97 the provincial contribution to the Alberta Planning Fund would be reduced from its present level of $ 5 million to zero. The workshop was held to help the Commission prepare for this transition and provide member communities the opportunity to state their preferences for the most effective means of securing planning and related services. The Village of Milo would like to retain the Commission with an organizational structure similar to what exists now but depending on how much it will cost the municipalities. Funding could be a combination of an annual contribution to secure a basic service, together with a fee-for-service for additional projects. This would depend on the cost.

Councillor Monner said he had attended a Solid Waste Authority Management meeting. Upon completion of the project, it will cost between $ 23 and $ 32 per capita to fund. Of this cost $ 8 - $ 9 is for the transfer fund station. He said Lomond does not want to pay for this portion of the cost because the transfer site will be near Lomond. This is still be discussed, and the next meeting will be held in Lomond in March. ^

Mayor Umscheid said the Master Plan for the Recreation Board has been completed and sent to Lethbridge. Lynda Cyr said that when Harry Zeal was here for the audit, he suggested that because the Village is now lookingaafter the Recreation Board Money there should be some of these funds put into a reserve account. Otherwise it appears on the financial statement as this is a surplus for the Village. Councillor Monner made a motion that $ 28,000.00 be put in a reserve account in the Recreation Board Funds. CARRIED.

A letter is to be sent to Sebo Pump & Irrigation in regards to their bill. Arrange­ ments were made with Dave Sebastian to hold any further payments since the pump was not installed correctly.

It has been brought to the attention of Council that the sign near the entrance to the Village says there is gas available. Since this is incorrect it should be removed. It was also noted that a symbol for a library could be put on since the Village has library services.

Councillor Hingley had Lynda Cyr attend a meeting in Vulcan for all municipalities, all foundations, housing authorities, management agencies and housing associations as he was unable to go. It was on Feb. 17 in the county office in Vulcan. The government is requesting the above boards share agency responsiblities and achieve balanced operating budgets. All agencies must be capable of assuming complete operating responsiblities as indepedent providers of social housing services to clients in need. A proposal has been started which would join Peter Dawson Lodge, Wheat County Housing, Wheat Country Special Needs Housing, Carmangay,-Lomond and Champion Housing units.. But at this time Lomond does not want to amalgamate with the others. Two ladies were also at the meeting from Nanton as they have a Senior's Lodge and Senior's Housing Units, and they will be having to join with some other agencies.

The meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

Easter is one of the movable feasts of the Christian church. It falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after March 21 - it cannot come before March 22 or after April 25. Some of the Easter symbols are: the Cross - represents the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and of Christ’s victory over death, the

Lamb is often included in Easter decorations as a symbolV1 of Jesus. Lights, candles and bon fires mark Easter celebrations in some countries. Eggs represent the new life that returns to nature around Easter time. Early Christians in Mesopotamia were the first to use colored eggs for Easter. The last week of Lent, called Holy Week, begins on Palm Sunday. It is named for the palm branches that people spread before Jesus as he rode into Jerusalelm. The Thursday of Holy Week is called Maundy Thursday - the time that ‘ Christians recall Jesus’ Last Supper and the time he washed His disciples’ feet. Good Friday is the day of Christ’s crucifixion. Easter Sunday Christians in all parts of the world unite their feelings of joy in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is celebrated in different ways in other countries. In Canada, many people attend outdoor sunrise services and church services on Easter morning. Lilies, symbolizing purity, decorate the altars of churches. COUNCILOR'S COMMENTS

After questioning the School Board chairman on a number of issues at our March Council meeting it appeared to me the Board had more or less commit­ ted to joining with the Foothills Board._This may be okay for the west half of the County but I'm not too sure about Milo and Lomond areas. I feel, with the Minister's change of mind, that a division can be split. It is an ideal time for the Lomond people to finally leave the County of Vulcan school dis­ trict. They cchvld join with Newall or Lethbridge or even Taber as they all border the County of Vulcan. The Bow River hinders the Milo area as far as joining with Newall and I don't how many around Milo would be in favour of this. One thing I definitely don't like is that our surplus school funds will be thrown into the pot and years of fiscal frugality will, in my opinion,be all or nothing. The board is in the process of ordering some new busses for the fall in order to transport the Lomond High School students to Vulcan. In my opinion there won't be any. I guess we all resist change but in this case there are too many unknown's I think. I don't see how one or two school trustees will be able to go to the the new school board meetings and solve all the problems that have come up as they seem to do. The eleven trustees on the County Board, seemed to me, took all day to solve our problems. With a large school jurisdiction as it is proposed it looks like a very tall order for one or two local people to handle. Also, Foothills will have the majority on the new board as they have 3 times as many students. I did not find out how the new trustees will be picked. If there is only one, will that person be from the county or will they be from Town of Vulcan? Whoever seeks this position I would suggest any­ one interested had better have lots of determination and a thick skin. If there is no School Board as we now have it and an elected councilor does not sit on the School Board we would no longer have a "County System" of government, or so I think. Also, if there is no School Board the County Council has looked at cutting down the number of councillors. These changes would mostly affect the west half of the County. The road ban is still on and this makes moving agriculture produce hard to move. If we are to keep paving more roads access to our all weather roads is going to .have to be looked at. The people in the oil patch are sure hav­ ing a hard time moving their heavy loads. THe R.C.M.P. have a phone system they would like to hook our county res­ idents up to. This would enable them to contact a certain area of the County through their computer(which would do the actual phoning) and warn residents about criminal activity in a certain area. I felt I did not want to give per­ mission for them to have everyone's phone number as most of these calls about criminal activity .would be late at .might. I believe they could first use the phone number of people who want to participate. Is anyone interested in having their phone number put into the R.C.M.P. computer? If the local Lions wanted an R.C.M.P. person to talk to them about it I'm sure one of them would come over. These are my opinions only and do not reflect County of Vulcan policy.

George Fink (Ron Northcott’s third while competing in World Champion play), Ron Northcott, Hector Gervais and Garnett Campbell were the Legends that participated with Nathan playing second on George Fink’s team and Chris playing third on Hec Gervais's team.

Besides competing at the rodeos, he has also entered a series called Bull Riders Only which is a very popular and upcoming event in the U.S. 1994 marks the 4th championship season for thh"internationally televised Bull Riders Only Series. Wrangler has taken full title sponsorship for the world's premier bull riding league which this year will award more than $ 350,000 to the world's top bullriders. A total of 30 riders are invited to compete at each event, and are matched against the country's top bulls. The riders are seeded from 1-30, and riders 11 - 20 ride in round one. The top 8 riders from round 1 advance to round 2 where they compete against seed 1 - 10. The top 10 riders in round 2 advance to round 3, where they ride for the big money.

This system is unique in rodeo because it allows the cowboy who rides the best to win the most money. Riding two or three bulls in one night is an incredible challenge to the riders.

The 1994 season will host 16 regular season events, and the World Championships in Denver. The Wrangler Bull Riders Only Series is dedicated to two very special bull riders; the late Lane Frost and the late Johnny Shea.

Wes attended the B.R.0. at Ogden, Utah in January and Long Beach, California in March. He was fortunate to win first at each of these' events. Bull Riders Only shows on Prime Network, TNN, and ESPN 11. The following is an event schedule for 1994.

Even though Lodges in this zone are located at High River, Cayley and Biackie, the area extends from Carmangay to Okotoks and Nanton to Lomond. Our zone also awards a trip to Camp Gold Eye to the runner up. This year there was a tie, and those two students, Elliott Nilsson of Champion and Andrea Gardiner of High River, will both be going to Gold Eye. To win these trips, students age 15 to 18 compete in a public speaking competition, speaking 8 to 10 minutes on a topic pertaining to the United Nations or world affairs. In New York they will be part of 150 students from all over the world touring the United Nations. Over the summer 750 students will have completed the tour.

One of these was serving Cj in an anti-aircraft searchlight Jj battery. His sergeant, an inveterate y prankster, told him to take a clean cloth and climb up the light's beam and polish the top of it.

You'll wait till I'm halfway up and then turn the jight off." a MILO UCW The members present at the March meeting which was opened with the CGW Purpose.
