Golden Wedding Bells Ring for

St. Michael Area Couple

- by Carol Marko

St. Michael area residents, Bill and Loretta Smith

celebrated 50 years of marriage on July 3. Over the

weekend of July 4 and 5, they hosted some 100

guests altogether. Saturday was attended by some

65-70 family members, while an additional 30+

friends and neighbours showed up on Sunday to

help the couple celebrate. Guests came from as far

away as Parksville, B.C. to Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Bill and Loretta were both living and working in

Regina when they met, but Bill was transferred to

Calgary soon afterward. He jokes that Loretta fol-

lowed him there so he “had to marry her.” They

travelled to her hometown of Unity, Saskatchewan

for their wedding on July 3, 1965.

In 1966 they moved to Bill’s hometown of Swan

River, Manitoba and later to Rocky Mountain

House, Alberta where they ran their own family

business from 1981 to 1995.

In 1999, the couple moved to their St. Michael

area farm where they hold a 20 year certificate as

breeders of quarter horses. They currently have 12

mares and 12 foals in their pasture, and also raise Clydesdales.

Bill is a meat-cutter by trade and has worked at the former

Market Square IGA (now Co-op) in Fort Saskatchewan since

1999.

Bill and Loretta have three daughters who were in attendance

for the weekend. Cindy Smith has been a veterinarian for 23

years and currently has her practice in Parksville, B.C. Lori-Ann

Smith works as a school administrative assistant for the Calgary

Public School Board and youngest daughter, Teddi Smith is a

very talented baker who made the horse themed anniversary

cake that was served to guests on Sunday, July 5th.

For those living along Hwy 45 from the Bruderheim

turnoff of Hwy 15 for the next 53 kms. it seemed like a

long time, but re-paving by E-Construction (formerly

Everall Construction) has actually been completed about

two weeks ahead of the planned schedule. Construction

signs went up in late May saying construction would take

place between May 25 and July 25. However, the con-

struction crew were done and loading their equipment in

Bruderheim on Friday, July 10. Despite the early

completion date, many residents were relieved to see it

done and were heard declaring, “FINALLY!!!”

CAROL MARKO PHOTOS AND STORY


Be Careful What You Wish For …..

Growing up on a farm in the 50’s and 60’s was much

different than it is today. Rocks were picked, square

bales were stacked, eggs were gathered and cows were

milked by hand. Cattle, pigs, horses and chickens were

fed, watered and bedded with pail and pitch fork. Hands

were the tools of necessity as mechanization was in short

supply.

I knew chores had to be done but had a list of “don’t

want to do’s” anyway. Occasionally I’d throw out an “I

don’t want to” just to get Mom revved up, which was

actually kind of fun. Not quite as much fun with Dad

though. I really didn’t mind doing chores but admit pick-

ing rocks was tough.

Washing floors and minding my sister topped the list

of dislikes. I would’ve rather been tending to the cattle,

checking for new life under a clucking hen or cranking

the cream separator than washing floors. As for minding

my sister, well, what can I say? Her fresh squeezed

orange juice, mashed bananas, babbling and constant

need for attention drove me nuts. In actuality, when

Mom and Dad brought her home and I first laid eyes on

her, I told them to take her back.

Like most young girls, I had a “want or wish list” that,

had I tried, would’ve probably wallpapered my bedroom.

Aside from the usual wants and wishes of a young girl, I

wished for electricity, television, running water and a

telephone.

Eventually the electricity came. Oh Boy! I was able to

do my homework by light bulb instead of lantern and

listen to legends like Buddy Holly, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis,

Fats Domino and Little Richard on the radio. After all, it

was the time of Rock & Roll!

Next up was the black and white TV with Dad favor-

ing “Hockey Night in Canada” and “Stampede

Wrestling” and Mom enjoying “I Love Lucy”. The first

movie I watched on that little TV was Alfred Hitchcock’s

horror “The Birds”. Thankfully and amazingly, I have no

fear of our feathered friends.

Soon after came the party-line telephone. When the

phone rang two long, one short, we knew it was for us

and anyone who chose to listen in. Finally my friends

and I could call each other and make those ever

important weekend plans. We even came up with our

own language, a code of sorts, so the busybody down the

road couldn’t understand what we were talking about as

she listened in on our conversations.

By the time I left home, there was still no running

water and wood and coal kept the house warm in the

winter.

Technology has come a long way. Most farm chores

are done with automated equipment. TV’s are colored, in

high definition and almost as big as those found in thea-

ters years ago. Telephones are cordless with caller ID,

call blocking, auto-redial, speaker, and caller reveal.

Staying in touch has progressed from visiting one

another, to cell phones, apps, texting, I-Pads, laptops,

emails, Internet-surfing, Skyping, Twitter and Facebook

all available on demand, in our pockets or purses.

We’ve become so reliant on electricity that almost

everything we use on a daily basis needs it to operate.

What would we do and how would our lives change if the

power grid ever failed?

In my opinion, the very technologies meant to be help-

ful tools have turned into a dependency carrying threats

of identity theft, fraud, scams and other menaces.

As I get older and watch my grandchildren grow, I’ve a

new wish list. I wish they can grow up without fear of

terrorism and its recruitment luring, without fear of killer

drugs and its traffickers, without fear of gangs, violence

and bullying, and without fear of losing their identity eve-

ry time they answer their phones or use their computers.

But my biggest and most important wish and desire for

them is the hope they take a few steps back to a simpler,

caring, self-sustaining, non-reliant and more personal way

of life.

Perhaps we should all be careful what we wish for

because, clearly, we can get more than we’re ready for.

Kids Get Hooked and Look for Bullseye at Kids Can Catch/Archery Days

By Sylvia Holowach

Approximately 116 children and adults came out to the

Lamont Trout Pond for the second annual Kids Can Catch/

Archery Days hosted by the Lamont Fish & Game Associa-

tion the weekend of July 4 and 5, 2015.

In addition to having the grounds and angling areas

maintained and ready for the weekend, Fish & Game

Association members ensured participants were provided

with basic instruction on casting a lure and shooting an

arrow.

Upon registration, all children

received a coupon for a free lunchtime

hamburger or hotdog, bag of chips and

a drink. The BBQ lunch, cooked by

Fish & Game Association chefs, was

sponsored by the Alberta Bowhunters

Association.

Representatives Adam Brasic, Retail

Marketing Manager and Santa (a.k.a.

Al), Cabela Outfitter, from the North

Edmonton Cabela’s location, were also

on hand providing instruction, assis-

tance and free rods and lures to eager

young anglers. “I’m glad to be here and

happy Cabela is a sponsor for the Lamont

Fish and Game’s Kids Can Catch weekend. It gives kids and

their parents, or grandparents, a chance to try fishing and spend

some quality time together. An event like this gets you away

from the everyday routine and gives you some time to relax

together.” said Brasic. Santa (a.k.a. Al) stated, “I’ve been

fishing since I was eight years old. That’s a lot of years. Loved

it then, love it now”.

Cabela’s handed out dozens of complimentary rods and

helped tie many Kids Can Catch lures throughout the

weekend.

Every spring, between April 15 and May 31, Alberta

Conservation Association’s Enhanced Fish Stocking

Program releases approximately 2,000 rainbow trout into

the Lamont Trout Pond to enhance fishing opportunities

for anyone interested in the sport.

“In addition to the Lamont Trout Pond, we stock over 65

waterbodies throughout Alberta and are happy to see the Kids

Can Catch events growing in popularity.” said Alberta Con-

servation Association Vice President, Ken Kranrod.

“Nowadays everyone is busy with work, soccer, T-Ball, baseball,

dance, you name it - it’s on our calendars and too many of us

fail to take part in traditional activities like fishing and

hunting.” stated Kranrod. He went on to explain Alberta

Conservation is seeing more and more families with

young children showing an interest in wanting to learn

how to fish. “An event like this is fun and allows everyone to

learn about hooks, bait and casting; as well as some interesting

facts on fish conservation, responsible angling and how to han-

dle fish safely,” added Kranrod.

Led by an experienced archer, the Archery area was

busy with many hoping to earn the right to brag about

hitting a bullseye. It was an opportunity to shoot a bow

and arrow and learn about archery

and safety of the sport. Those interest-

ed were also able to ask questions

about bows, arrows, targets, shooting

techniques and various types of

archery such as target, field, 3-D,

traditional, and bow hunting. When

asked, one young participant stated,

“It sure is a lot harder than it looks”.

Over at the pond, anglers of all

ages were patiently waiting for the

catch of the day. On his way back to

the Cabela tent, for some help with his

rod, a young fisherman replied “Na, I

think they’re still sleeping,” when asked

if he had caught any fish.

Lamont Fish & Game President, and Alberta-Zone 5

Director, Robyn Butler said, “It was a good weekend. The

weather on Sunday morning was a little scary but once the sun

came out, it was all good. Four or five fish were caught and I

think everyone had a good time.”

Plans for next year’s Kids Can Catch weekend have

already started. “We’ve acquired four docks that we hope to

have installed by next year. With the addition of the docks,

anglers will be able to cast further into the water than they can

from shore right now, “added Butler.

When asked, Butler stated “We have 468 members and

focus on promoting youth activities.” In addition to our bird

house building and other activities; we offer Archery Thursday

nights, in the basement of Bruderheim’s Walker School, from

December to the end of April and thanks to the Lamont Lions

Club we’re looking forward to starting a youth group in the

Lion’s Den later this year.

“Anyone interested in joining the Lamont Fish & Game

Association is welcome to contact us at any time”, added

Butler.

Official Sod Turning

Mayor Karl Hauch and members of Bruderheim Town Council met

with the developer’s agents at the site of the new commercial/

residential building currently under development on Queen Street

between 49th and 50th Avenues for an official sod turning ceremony

on Friday, July 10. Site preparation actually began on Monday, July 6.

The first phase of the new building is expected to house two commer-

cial spaces on the ground floor and four apartments on the second

floor. One of the commercial spaces will contain a pharmacy in the

front and doctor’s office in the back. Another will possibly be a laun-

dromat or coffee shop as realtor Tim Hennigar is currently working to

attract other tenants to the commercial spaces available.

Developers are hopeful to see the project completed and ready for

occupancy before the end of this year.

Leaving Hinton on Canada Day, Ian Byng-Jewett was

riding his bicycle across Canada in order to raise funds

and awareness for the Canadian National Institute for the

Blind (CNIB). His motivation for taking on the venture is

his grandmother, who is legally blind, as well as a good

friend who is also blind.

Ian learned that government funding for the CNIB is

only 30 percent, and the rest has to come from fundraising

efforts by the organization and its supporters. He noted

that specialized equipment for the blind can be very ex-

pensive to buy.

Armed with this information, Ian decided on his own

initiative to take on the task of riding his bicycle across

Canada from Hinton to St. John’s, Newfoundland in an

effort to raise funds and awareness of the CNIB. Without

sponsorship from the CNIB or anyone else, he began his

solo Big Ride on a Canadian Tire Supercycle 10 Speed bike

without the aid of a support team.

In the early evening of July 4, after making a stop at the

Fort Saskatchewan Canadian Tire store to replace a broken

bike pedal, Ian and I had a chance encounter, where I

learned he was looking for a safe place to camp overnight

and not have to worry about theft of his bike or saddle-

bags. I told him if he was able to make it to Bruderheim

before dark, he was welcome to camp in our yard near

Bruderheim, where we already had four other young

adults camping for the weekend. (Continued on Page 14)

Ian Byng-Jewett stopped in front of the Welcome to Bruderheim sign on his way into Lamont County on July 4, and the Welcome to

Mundare sign on his way out of Lamont County on July 5.

During their July 8 council meeting, Bruderheim Town

Council heard a report from Atco Gas District Supervisor,

Larry Gullekson regarding their 2014 construction season.

In the past year, Atco Gas responded to 312 service calls

within the Town of Bruderheim. They also installed 11

new gas meters and have three more scheduled to come.

As part of their community investment program, they

were also a sponsor for the 2014 Bruderheim Heartland

Ag Days.

He then went on to make a cheque presentation from

Atco Gas, donating $2500 to the Town of Bruderheim to

help towards their fundraising for a new ice plant.

In a press release dated July 8, Atco Gas President Bill

Stephens announced, “For Bruderheim and most rural

communities, the ice arena is the recreational hub for fami-

lies and youth of all ages. Supporting projects like this

demonstrates our commitment to healthier lifestyles and

an improved quality of life for residents in the communi-

ties we serve.”

The Bruderheim arena provides winter recreational

spaces to Bruderheim and many other surrounding com-

munities such as Ft. Saskatchewan, Lamont, Josephburg,

Redwater and Sherwood Park. The Bruderheim Minor

Sports Association in partnership with the Town of Bru-

derheim have committed to fundraising $475,000 for the

new ice plant. Mayor Karl Hauch remarked that they are

now at $100,000 towards that goal.

Following Atco’s presentation, council heard a report

from Jordan Panasiuk, Municipal Intern for Lamont Coun-

ty. Jordan has been on loan to the Town of Bruderheim,

working on stakeholder consultations with about 14 prop-

erty owners in Lamont County who are in the proposed

area of annexation to the Town of Bruderheim. Of those

affected, four stakeholders requested a personal meeting

with Jordan to raise their questions (Continued on Page 14)

Submitted - The Chipman Agricultural Society presents a laid back

weekend of fun and music just 45 minutes East of Edmonton. The first

edition of North of 16 Blues & Country Music Festival August 28th &

29th, 2015, is happening at the Agricultural Fair Grounds in Chipman.

The weekend includes blues/swamp boogie experts Monkey Junk,

Front Porch Roots Revue and Tim Hus. Well known and loved local

artists Randy Hollar and Canadian fiddle champions Alfie and Byron

Myhre will also be performing. Sing along with Eagles tribute band

Blue Yonder- and don’t miss Willie James and Crawdad, who will be

performing at the Chipman Hotel. You’ll also get a chance to check

out the up and coming Command Sisters and their soulful harmonies.

With limited outdoor music festival options in central rural Alberta,

members of the Chipman Agricultural Society saw a unique oppor-

tunity to bring some first class entertainment to coyote country. “We

thought we would give it a try and see if there is enough interest to

consider making this an annual event, maybe generate a real local

presence with North of 16” says Chipman Ag society president, Scott

Reid. The name of the festival refers to the venue’s rootsy rural loca-

tion in Chipman, a small town with lots of creative spirit, just a few

kilometers north of the Yellowhead Highway – or Highway 16- at

Junction 834.

Camping is free with weekend tickets or you can come for the day.

Saturday afternoon also features a singer/songwriter “round” on the

main stage with Tim Hus, Stew McDougal, Gord Mathews (Front

Porch Roots Revue) and Ian Oscar (Blue Yonder Eagles Tribute). You

can take a break from the crowd and grab a horse drawn wagon ride

around the village, where there will be a few smaller, more intimate

venues and showcases to discover, and featuring a variety of local

well-known artists. There will be a selection of food vendors available

both days as well as a beer tent. Bring your chairs, your tarps, and

prepare to have fun - come rain or shine – North of 16!

Hello Again Folks!

With all the hot weather we’ve been having, Joanne’s away again, trying to beat the heat. Since it’s been so hot, many people don’t feel like eating hot food or large meals; so I thought I’d share my recipe for homemade Caesar Salad Dressing. This is so easy and so much better tasting than the dressings you buy in a bottle. Enjoy!

Homemade Caesar Salad Dressing

Servings: Makes 1-1/3 cups

Ingredients:

2 small garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon anchovy paste (found in the

refrigerator section of the supermarket)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from

one lemon

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (I like the brand Maille)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 cup mayonnaise, best quality such as Hellmann's

Real Mayonnaise

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the garlic,

anchovy paste, lemon juice, Dijon mustard and

Worcestershire sauce. Add the mayonnaise,

Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper and whisk

until well combined. Taste and adjust to your

liking.

Cut or tear a head of Romaine lettuce into bite-

sized pieces and mix in just enough dressing to

thoroughly coat the lettuce, but not too heavily.

Toss in a handful of croutons and some crumbled

bacon and enjoy with a side of garlic toast for a

nice light meal. Grilled chicken breast strips can

also be added if desired.

We exchanged cell phone numbers and he texted me for

directions upon arrival in Bruderheim two hours later.

Our son and his friends entertained our guest and then

arose early to feed him a hearty breakfast before he struck

out on his way to his next overnight stop at Vermilion.

Unfortunately, Ian’s Big Ride came to a sudden halt in

Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on July 10th, after he struck a

guardrail while riding through a construction zone in

Saskatoon earlier that day, in an attempt to avoid being

hit by a transport truck. After arriving in Moose Jaw that

evening with his knee badly swollen and extremely pain-

ful, he realized his injury was too serious to keep going

and bought a bus ticket home to Hinton.

He is already planning his ride again for next summer,

and will be keeping people updated about his plans on

his website.

If you think you might be able to help him with spon-

sorship, places to stop or camp along the way, you can

contact Ian through his website: http://

iansbigride.weebly.com/

Donations can also be made at any CNIB location in

the name of Ian’s Big Ride.

and concerns. All affected property owners raised

concerns about what their mil rate would be on property

taxes within the town limits following annexation. Water,

sewer, garbage collection and whether farming operations

would be affected were also among questions and

concerns raised.

In a follow-up phone call to Jordan Panasiuk, he stated

that the next step now will be consultations between the

town and Lamont County. Following those

consultations, the town will then have to make a proposal

to the Minister of Municipal Affairs. The Minister will

then be required to hold a public hearing before making

his recommendations to the Honourable Lois Mitchell,

Lieutenant Governor of Alberta.
