September 17. 2007
Delegations
Resident Georgina Lilly made a statement to Council regarding the proposed development for the West side of Lake McGregor by Crystal Blue Development. Mrs. Uily expressed concern over various negative impacts that this development could have for the Village and Community, especially if the Village decided provide treated water to the development. Council explained to Mrs. Ully that the only decision which has been made by the Council is to provide information for and review a feasibility study, completed by Hasegawa Engineering and at the expense of Crystal Blue Developments, which examines the merits and negatives of upgrading and expanding our current water treatment infrastructure to provide treated water to the proposed development.
Keith Deitz, President of the East Milo Water Co-Op also made a brief statement to Council requesting information regarding the proposed Crystal Blue Development lake subdivision, and was given the same information which was provided to Mrs. Ully with assurances that prior to any decision being made to provide treated water to the development, all stakeholders in our treated water system including the Milo Water Co-Op and residents would consulted for their input.
Barry Monner made a statement to Council regarding his proposal to build a 55 + group / condo style Development at 3rd Avenue North on the west side of the Village. Council explained to Mr. Monner that until the annexation of this land was completed, the Village was not in a position to discuss or approve any requests to purchase and develop land. Mr. Monner was invited to present a formal and detailed proposal to Council once the annexation was completed. Mr. Phillips, speaking as the land owner, advised that he would be willing to sell the land in question to the Village for re-sale development and Councillor Edwards stated that while he supported the concept of the proposal, the opinion of the new councillor and facts of a detailed proposal would be integral to providing any approval.
New Residential Development
Council approved the revised engineering proposal from UMAfor two new residential new cul-de- sac developments at 3rd Avenue and 1st Street North. It is hoped that the preliminary engineering work and securing of a contractor can be done to coincide with the finalization of the annexation so that work can begin on the project this year to capitalize on the growing interest for residential property in the Village.
Pot Hole Repair
Council approved the quote from Volker Stevin for asphalt patching and pot hole repairs for Village. Although the Village would like very much to address all the asphalt damage in the Village, this repair will focus on the most badly damaged sections.
Contract Mowing
Council approved the quote from Volker Stevin for mowing of the CPR right of way property Behind Agricore United and the Deitz Elevator and further to the south.
Street Closure
Council approved the partial closure of Centre Street on Wednesday September 26, 2007 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to accommodate the Scotiabank Barbecue Lunch fundraiser for the new Milo Library.
Road Gravelling
Council approved Marks Oilfield supplying gravel for 2nd Street North and 3rd Avenue North and for the alley way behind the Library to the Village Shop.
New Council
Administrator Deitz announced that only three nomination papers had been filed for the vacant Councillor positions for the civic election, so by acclamation, the new Village of Milo Council will be Robert Phillips, Steve Edwards and newcomer Wendy Hingley. Councillor Phillips, Councillor Edwards and Administrator Deitz all thanked Mayor Vooys for his service to the Village of Milo during his 3 terms on Council and wished him well for the future.Next Meeting
The next Meeting of the Village of Milo was scheduled for Monday October 15, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in the Village Office. An Organizational Meeting of the new Council will be held first, followed by the Regular meeting of Council.
The draft minutes for the September 17, 2007 meeting can be viewed in their entirety at the Village Office during regular office hours. These draft minutes will be approved at the October 15, 2007 Council meeting.

1. Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people
appear bright until you hear them speak.
2. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
3. Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't.
4. Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
5. The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
6. If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them, five or six at a time, on a
hill, in the fog

8. The shin bone is a device for finding furniture in a dark room.
9. A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

Ant Repellant: To keep ants out of the house, find where the ants are entering the house and sprinkle a "barrier" of cinnamon or any type of ground pepper to block their way. The spices are too hot for the ants to cross. Cucumber peels have the same effect.
Bathroom Odors: Place an opened box of baking soda OR an open container of activated charcoal behind the toilet to absorb bathroom odors.
Blood Stains: Soak the stain in hydrogen peroxide, wash (don't dry), and repeat if necessary. This tip works especially well for caret and clothes.
Carpet Stains: Baby wipes are miracle-workers on carpet stains, from motor oil to blood, they remove almost anything!
Candle Holders: To prevent the wax from melting and sticking to the inside of a votive candle holder, pour a bit of water in the holder, then place the candle on top. If you're reading this tip too late, and there's already wax stuck inside your candle holder, pop it in the freezer for an hour. The wax will chip right off.
Candle Wax: To remove wax from carpeting or other fabric, first scrape away any excess. Then, place a brown paper bag over the wax and run a warm iron over the bag. The wax will melt right into the bag! Continue moving the bag around as you pick up the wax so you are always using a clean section. If a little grease stain remains on carpet, sprinkle with baking soda and allow to sit overnight before vacuuming, which will remove the grease residue. If colored wax leaves a stain on carpet, blot with spot remover or carpet cleaner, following label directions.
Cast Iron Pans: To gently and effectively clean your cast iron skillets aftermost uses, wipe out excess food with a dry paper towel, then sprinkle salt inside the pan. Wipe clean with a clean, dry paper towel. The salt acts as an abrasive to scratch off any stuck-on particles of food without using soap and water, which can remove your seasoning. For stubborn stuck-on food, use a putty knife to scrape it off. You may, however, need to reseason the pan after doing this.
Chimney: To keep your chimney clean, throw a handful of salt on the fire.
Chrome: To remove rust from chrome, wipe it with aluminum foil dipped in Coke®. To polish chrome, use a crumbled up piece of aluminum foil and mb.
Cloudy Drinking Glasses: Soak them for an hour or longer in slightly warm white vinegar. Then, use a nylon-net or plastic dish scrubber to remove film. Still there? The damage may be etching (tiny scratches that occur in the dishwasher) and is permanent, sorry to say. To avoid this altogether, hand-wash your best glasses.
Coffee Grinder: Grind up a cup or so of rice in a coffee grinder to clean the grinder and sharpen its blades.
Copper: To polish copper, rub an ample amount of catsup on the copper and let it stand for 5 minutes. Rinse off the catsup with hot water and dry to find an incredible shine. (Submitted by Sam Meyer)
Crayon on Walls or Washable Wallpaper: Spray with WD-40®, then gently wipe, using a paper towel or clean cloth. If the mark is stubborn, sprinkle a little baking soda on a damp sponge and gently mb in a circular motion. If the WD-40® leaves a residue, gently wipe off with a sponge soaked in soapy water; rinse clean; blot dry. Another method is to use a hair dryer - it heats the wax and wipes away instantly. If the color remains, like red usually does, wet a cloth with bleach and wipe.
Deodorize dishes, pans, cutting boards or utensils with pungent odors by adding 1/4 cup of lemon juice to your dishwater.
Dishwashers: To clean mineral deposits from the inside of your dishwasher, pour in a
container of Tang® Drink Mix and mn the dishwasher (don't put dishes in the dishwasher for this load).Fireplace Soot Odor: In the Spring, when you're fireplace will be out of commission for a while, clean out the ashes, then fill the fireplace with crumpled newspapers (non-glossy pages). Leave the newspapers for a couple of days, then discard.
Fish or Spoiled Food Odor: Place a bowl of white vinegar on the counter for a few hours. The odor will disappear for good.
Freshen a Garbage Disposal: Sprinkle baking soda in it along with a few drops dishwashing liquid. Scrub with a brush (a new toilet brush works great), getting under the rubber gasket and all around the inside. Then, turn on water and let the disposal run to flush thoroughly. For a fresh citrus scent, throw in a few cut up lemons or limes and run them through, too, using lots of water.
Freshen Laundry Basket: Place a fabric softener sheet in the bottom of your laundry basket (remember to change it weekly.) You can also simply sprinkle some baking soda in the bottom of your basket and that will help absorb the odors as well.
Freshen Linen Closet: In the linen closet place cotton balls that have been sprayed with your favorite scent. Once they are dry place them in comers and on the shelves.
George Foreman Grills: After removing the cooked food from the grill, place a paper towel soaked in water on each of the 2 cooking surfaces. Unplug the appliance, allow it to sit for 5-30 minutes (while you eat), then use the paper towels to effortlessly wipe out the grease and food particles.
Ink Stains: The best way I have found to get out ink stains is to put rubbing alcohol on the stain - it disappears! This must be done before washing. For ink on the wall, wipe with bleach and it will disappear.
Kitty Litter: To keep cat litter fresh smelling, mix baby powder in with the litter.
Microwave Filth: Food splatters all over the inside of your microwave and cooks itself on after time. To easily remove this mess, place a sponge soaked in water in the microwave. Cook on high heat for 2 minutes, then allow it to sit without opening the microwave door, for 5 minutes. The filth is now ready to be wiped right off - no scrubbing - and your sponge is right there!
Microwave Odors: Keep a cup of baking soda in the microwave between uses to keep potatoes from smelling like bacon or other unusual combinations!
Mothball Substitute: Take your leftover soap slivers and put them in a vented plastic bag. You place the bag with seasonal clothes before packing them away. Not only will the scent prevent them from moth harm, but also they'll smell great when you pull them out.
Odor-free Car: Place a few briquettes of charcoal under the seat of your car to absorb odors and keep it smelling fresh. Make sure to use the type without the starting fluid on them or your car will smell of fuel.
Paint on Carpet: Spray with Windex® and wipe clean.
Permanent Marker on Carpet: Dab a washcloth soaked in rubbing alcohol onto the marker stain. Do not rub it - just blot it - rotating the cloth to a clean spot every time.
Pet Urine on Carpet: First, blot up what you can with paper towels. Then, with warm, soapy water and a clean cloth, blot the area clean; rinse with clean water; blot until dry. Next, combine 1/3 cup white vinegar with 2/3 cup water and dab it on stain; rinse with clean water; blot until dry. Once the area is totally dry (at least 24 hours), sprinkle entire carpet with baking soda or rug deodorizer; vacuum after a few hours.
Photos Stuck Together: With a hair dryer on low, slowly melt them apart.
Shower Doors: I have clear glass shower doors. I have tried everything from CLR®, to
Comet®, to Clorox® - you name it, I've tried it. Today I decided to try something different. I found a bottle of Resolve® spot remover for carpet and fabric. I figured "Why not? I have tried everything else." All I did was spray the Resolve® on the shower and with no effort ran a dish sponge over it and rinsed and every bit of the soap scum came off.Smashed Down Carpet: To make the carpet stand back up after moving a piece of furniture, place an ice cube on the spot. As it melts, the piles will go back up.
Smelly Cooking Hands: Simply rub your hands over a stainless steel utensil under running water. This works especially well for the odor of garlic, onions or fish.
Smelly Shoes: Simply fill a tube sock with kitty litter, baking soda, or tea leaves; tie the end closed; and place the filled socks in the shoes when you're not wearing them. These sachets can be used over and over in any kind of shoe.
Sour Sponge: Soak the sponge in lemon juice and rinse it out. This will remove the odor for good but keep in mind that it is important to either dispose of, bleach, or run your sponge through your dishwasher regularly to keep bacteria from growing.
Stains in Plastic Storage Containers: Use a baking soda paste (baking soda and water) and rub into the stain. You can then rinse with vinegar (optional) and wash normally. Another method is to place container outside on a nice sunny day and the sun actually bleaches the stain out. To avoid stains in the first place, spray container with cooking spray before putting things in it that stain i.e. spaghetti sauce.
Stickers, Decals, and Glue: To remove them from furniture, glass, plastic, etc. saturate with vegetable oil and rub off.
Stuck-On Food in Pots, Pans, and Crockpots: Fill the pan with water and place a fabric softener sheet in the water. Allow the pan to soak overnight. The food will wipe right out!
Stovetops: To prevent grease and grime from sticking to your stove top, making it easy to clean, rub it down with car wax on occasion.
Tarnished Silverware: Line a cake pan with aluminum foil. Fill with water and add 1 Tbls. of baking soda per 2 cups of water. Heat to 150 degrees. Lay silverware in pan, touching aluminum foil. Watch the stains disappear!
Trash Bag Idea: Save money on trash bags by reusing plastic grocery bags. Use them in all your trash cans. To keep them from slipping down, affix a plastic, self-adhesive hook to both sides of the inside of the trash can. Hang the shopping bag from the hooks.
White Heat Marks and Water Rings on Wood Furniture: If the wood has a good finish (don't try on bare wood), mix equal parts of baking soda and regular white, non-gel toothpaste. Lightly dampen comer of a clean, soft white cloth with water and dip into the paste. With circular motion gently buff the marks for a few minutes. Wipe area clean, and buff to a shine. Follow with furniture polish. (If rings remain after buffing five minutes or so, they may have penetrated the wood; you might have to refinish the piece). If that doesn't work, dip a cloth in vegetable oil, then in cigarette ashes, then rub it over the mark. Another method is to mb real mayonnaise onto the stain, allow to sit overnight, then wipe
~riLETTER FROM AN iOWA FARM KiD
(NOW AT San Diego MARINE CORPS RECRUIT TRAINING)
Dear Ma and Pa,
I am well. Hope you are. Tell Brother Walt and Brother Elmer the
Marine Corps beats working for old man Minch by a mile. Tell them to join Up quick before all of the places are filled.
I was restless at first because you got to stay in bed till nearly 8
a.m. but I am getting so I like to sleep late. Tell Walt and Elmer all you do before breakfast is smooth your cot, and shine some things. No hogs to slop, feed to pitch, mash to mix, wood to split, fire to lay. Practicaiiy nothing.
Men got to shave but it is not so bad, there's warm water. Breakfast
Is strong on trimmings like fruit juice, cereal, eggs, bacon, etc., But kind of weak on chops, potatoes, ham, steak, fried eggplant, pie and other regular food, but tell Wait and Elmer you can always sit by the two city boys that live on coffee. Their food, plus yours, holds you until noon when you get fed again. It's no wonder these city boys can't walk much. We go on 'route marches,' which the platoon sergeant says are long walks to harden us. If he thinks so, it's not my place to tel! him different. A'route march' is about as far as to our mailbox at home. Then the city guys get sore feet and we all ride back in trucks.
The country is nice but awful flat The sergeant is like a school teacher. He nags a lot. The captain is like the school board. Majors and colonels just ride around and frown. They don't bother you none.
This next will kill Walt and Elmer with laughing. I keep getting medals for shooting. I don't know why. The bulls-eye is near as big as a chipmunk head and don't move, and it ain't shooting at you like the Higgett boys at home. All you got to do is lie there ail comfortable and hit it. You don't Even load your own cartridges. They come in boxes. Then we have what they call hand-to-hand combat training. You get to Wrestle with them city boys. I have to be real careful though, they break reai easy, it ain't iike fighting with that ole bull at home. I'm about the best they got in this except for that Tug Jordan from over in Silver Lake I only beat him once. Rejoined up the same time as me, but I'm only 5'6' and 130 pounds and he's 6’8' and near 300 pounds dry.
Be sure to tell Walt and Elmer to hurry and join before other fellers Get onto this setup and come stampeding in.
Your loving daughter,
Aiica
The power of government An Ontario Department of Agriculture representative stopped at a farm and talked with the farmer. "I'm going to inspect your farm."The farmer said, "You'd better not go into that field."The Ontario Agriculture representative said in a wise tone, "I have the authority of the Ontario Government with me. See this card? I am allowed to go wherever I wish on agricultural land. "So, the
farmer went about his farm chores. Later,
the farmer heard loud screams and saw the Department of Agriculture representative
running for the fence and close behind was the farmer's prize bull. The bull was madder than a full nest of hornets and the bull was gaining at every step. The farmer yelled out, "Show him your card!", "Show him your
card!"would like to introduce our newest recruit -
Tanya Jurgens
As you ail know, my involvement in the bar has been very limited lately. It seems there are just not enough hours in the day anymore So - - I’ve hired myself a manager, Tanya.
I was looking for someone with a great personality and lots of energy to bring the hotel back to life!! I want to bring fun back to the bar and I think Tanya’s the girl to do it. So let me introduce her
to you----
She grew up in the small farming community of Skiff, (get this - it’s smaller than Milo), went to school in Foremost, then on to college in Calgary. I found her working in Lethbridge and convinced her and her boyfriend Marcus to make the big move to Milo. Marcus is now working for Marks Oilfield and I hear he is a huge hockey fan (yah!!) Tanya will be working nights as well and managing the hotel. She has a big job ahead of her. She has some entertainment ideas as well as some marketing strategies that will be helpful in livening up the bar. The first thing on her list is the new daily drink specials starting in October. We will be having a Halloween Bash at the end of the month for our end of harvest celebration.! Keep your eyes
open for the posters that will have all the upcoming details !!!%e G^iedit lAnian, will he. Monday S

Crystal Blue Developments is proposing a new lakeside development for the west side of Lake McGregor, which could significantly impact our community in many ways. Please watch for details coming from this group for an “Open House” to be held in Milo later in October for a chance to meet representatives of the Development and see first hand what is being proposed.
Busy builders
The two new houses in the North West end of town have gone up quickly, and are starting to look like “homes”. Look for more building activity in the coming months, as the final transfers for the other lots have been completed and the new owners will be
breaking ground soon!

A Grape Idea
How about going as a bunch of grapes? Wear black sweats as a base. From a small remnant of green fabric, cut out leaves as you would paper dolls. They came out in a long strand that wraps around your neck. Then take a brown paper bag, attach it to a party hat with staples & twist it as the stem. Use purple face paint and blow up about 20 purple balloons and attach them to the sweats with safety pins (through the lip of the balloon). Keep in mind that it's awkward to sit down, so be sure you don't do put balloons on your posterior.
Box “Trees”
A whole family could make costumes out of refrigerator boxes and washer boxes. Parents could be different sized trees and the kids bushes. Paint the boxes to look like trees with holes cut out for the eyes. Use crepe paper for leaves.
Puppy Dog
Use a black hooded sweat shirt & pants & four pairs of black socks (could use all pieces brown, yellow gold, white, or combination or any) — pin or baste two socks on either side of hood top for floppy ears, cover hands and feet with socks for paws, roll one sock up and stuff into final sock to stiffen and pin or baste on as tail. Easy!!!
Pumpkin
Orange sweat shirt and pants with a green baseball hat (wear backwards) or a green scarf/bow tied in hair. Accent by tying a rolled towel around tummy under shirt to round out our pumpkin and pin black felt triangles to shirt front to make a jack-o- lantem face.
Dragon
Green shirt and pants of course, with a large green banana clip or pointed party hat (or two) in hair for horns. Stitch and stuff a long green felt zig zag of scales and pin from neck to hem of shirt and let rest drag down to floor. You could stuff a knee sock of pair of tights and pin on as a tail.
A Bag of Jelly Beans
You'll need a clear plastic bag. Step into it making holes for the legs and arms out the side. Fill the bag with different color balloons and use a flashy scarf to tie around the top of the bag. You may want to place a sign that says Jelly Beans 50 in front of the bag. For the clothing underneath just about any color leotard will work.
Post-It Note:
Cut out two - three foot square pieces of cardboard, glue a yellow large sheet of posterboard to one side of the two boards. Then take a sponge and using a light grey paint, apply a light coating across the top 1/8 of the one board to represent the sticky glue. Then, using a magic marker, write a short note on the front side of the one board. Use string to attach the two sides together to wear.
Mr. Potato Head
Fill a burlap bag with old shirts or rags.
Using felt, cut out the eyes, nose and mouth. Attach Velcro to the backs of these items. Use fiber- fill to stuff the parts. Then attach the Velcro backs to the suit. Use black sweat pants or leotard for legs.
