Here for all your needs big and small<br />
Alliance Seed Cleaning<br />
Association opened in November of<br />
1957. For the first 20 years they<br />
didn’t do much more than the<br />
cleaning and treating of cereals.<br />
Over the years there have<br />
been many upgrades, always<br />
growing to serve the community<br />
better.<br />
They now have a testing and<br />
bagging facility that will handle<br />
25 kg bags up to 750 kg mini<br />
bulks. A 90 foot (70 tonne) scale<br />
has been installed along with a<br />
5,000 bushel per hour leg to<br />
handle the large loads.<br />
They can now inoculate peas<br />
and are licensed to apply<br />
Provide on canola, peas and<br />
wheat. A few years ago they<br />
started having feed and basic<br />
veterinary supplies available for<br />
you.<br />
The Alliance Seed Cleaning<br />
received their Warehousing<br />
Standards Certificate in 1999.<br />
During their busy times they<br />
will employ up to six people.<br />
They want you to know that they<br />
208 3 Ave E Alliance, AB (780) 879-3927<br />
www.allianceseedfeed.com<br />
are here for all your needs big and<br />
small.<br />
Diverse service for 15 years<br />
There is always something new<br />
when it comes to the Alliance based<br />
shop, Main Street Medley.<br />
The business specializes in a<br />
number of unique services like<br />
embroidery, signs, engraving, canvas<br />
wraps, printing, full-colour heat<br />
transfers, and custom T-Shirts.<br />
They also use a direct-to-garment<br />
printer for specialized orders and a<br />
large scale printer that can print up<br />
to a 4’ x 8’.<br />
Main Street Medley is<br />
more than happy to do<br />
custom orders and ship anywhere<br />
on top of their other<br />
services.<br />
The Back 40 Button<br />
Company was an idea that<br />
spurred from the use of their<br />
back room where they make<br />
pinback buttons, button magnets,<br />
and coasters.<br />
Owner Laurie Fuller attributes<br />
15 successful years in<br />
business to the diverse<br />
options they provide customers as<br />
well as their consistent friendly<br />
attitude.<br />
“I think the diversity plus our customer<br />
service – We have a lot of<br />
repeat customers. We treat everybody<br />
the same whether they order 1<br />
item or 100. Each order is the same to<br />
us,” said Fuller.<br />
Currently four staff, including<br />
Laurie, run the facility.<br />
It all started when Laurie and her<br />
husband became empty nesters,<br />
eager to work together.<br />
Laurie started with sublimation<br />
and signage in the basement of their<br />
home.<br />
Eventually, Laurie’s husband<br />
switched jobs in the oil company<br />
where they wouldn’t allow wives on<br />
the lease site.<br />
This was where they bought the<br />
current building they are in<br />
now on main street, hence<br />
the name ‘Main Street<br />
Medley’.<br />
Later, they bought the<br />
Gas Co-op next door to<br />
expand their business and<br />
number of services.<br />
“You never know what<br />
you’ll find here. If you come<br />
in one day it may not be<br />
here the next and we might<br />
not be getting any more in<br />
so if you like it, you better<br />
buy it,” said Fuller.

Big ‘Happy Face’<br />
welcomes customers<br />
Bill Rock and his wife Kim opened the<br />
Amisk C-Store in May of 2013. They knew<br />
there was a need for this type of convenience<br />
store in the area so they decided to<br />
fill that need.<br />
The store is open from 6 am to 7 pm<br />
daily. They provide the community with<br />
basic groceries, take out foods and lots of<br />
candy. The large variety of sandwiches<br />
and subs, along with salads and hot dogs<br />
are all homemade in-store. They also sell<br />
homemade baking.<br />
They like to be part of the community<br />
events and provide the subs for the sub<br />
day at the local elementary school.<br />
The store has nine part-time employees.<br />
Bill Rock is also the go-to plumber for<br />
the area with six employees working for<br />
him in the service part of that. He also<br />
sells a small amount of plumbing supplies<br />
at the back of the store.<br />
The Amisk C-Store is located on<br />
Highway 13 in Amisk, Ab., so if<br />
you want good old-fashioned<br />
friendly service and yummy<br />
homemade food, drive on down<br />
and look for the Big Happy Face.<br />

Your business matters!<br />
The Conservative Party of<br />
Canada understands the<br />
importance to the Canadian<br />
economy of small and<br />
medium-sized businesses.<br />
Eighty per cent of jobs for<br />
Canadian workers are created<br />
by these companies.<br />
In many of the largest and<br />
smallest communities across<br />
Canada, small business<br />
owners are our job creators<br />
and community builders. As<br />
the official Opposition Party<br />
in the House of Commons,<br />
we will continue to voice<br />
their concerns.<br />
In Battle River-Crowfoot,<br />
we can clearly see the importance<br />
of smaller firms in our<br />
communities. For example,<br />
we have a strong agricultural<br />
base made up of mostly<br />
small family-run businesses.<br />
These businesses support<br />
our agricultural industry<br />
and we have a growing<br />
number of businesses that<br />
process our products giving<br />
them added value.<br />
Today, with the Internet,<br />
entrepreneurs right here in<br />
our riding are not limited in<br />
the world-wide clients we<br />
can serve. Our local companies<br />
are searching - and<br />
finding - these opportunities.<br />
It is hard work and we can<br />
be proud of their successes.<br />
They help provide local jobs.<br />
These folks are in every village,<br />
town and remote area<br />
in our large geographic<br />
riding.<br />
In every community in<br />
our riding we have forwardlooking<br />
entrepreneurs who<br />
instill in all of us a sense of<br />
optimism and confidence.<br />
We will do our ancestors<br />
proud by continuing to build<br />
our region of Alberta and<br />
ensure that the next generation<br />
of entrepreneurs have<br />
all the resources, facilities,<br />
community support, and<br />
many other tools that we<br />
need.

Skin Care Line a dream come true<br />
Diana Wilson, a Mary Kay representative<br />
from Castor, Ab. shares the<br />
wonderful, real-world effects the<br />
Mary Kay Skin Care Line<br />
has done for its customers.<br />
Wilson has been using<br />
the product for many years,<br />
attesting to the long-term<br />
effects it has on your skin.<br />
A friend asked if she<br />
wanted to start selling it as<br />
a side business which she<br />
took from there.<br />
Mary Kay is a trusted<br />
household name and covers<br />
specialized skin care and<br />
makeup for both men and<br />
women but Wilson loves the skin<br />
care line for its many benefits.<br />
Diana Wilson<br />
“Once they’ve tried the product…<br />
It speaks for itself like it actually sells<br />
itself because it’s so good,” said<br />
Wilson. “It’s all very good<br />
quality.”<br />
Customers are 100%<br />
guaranteed no matter the<br />
time frame which is unique<br />
to the company.<br />
“If you’ve had a product<br />
from say 10 years ago or<br />
whatever and found it in<br />
your drawer and wanted<br />
credit for it, you can,” said<br />
Wilson. “If you used something<br />
for 6 months and<br />
decide you don’t like it, it’s<br />
still guaranteed you can bring it back<br />
whatever it is.”<br />
Wilson enjoys serving her customers<br />
and hearing about their first<br />
time experiences hearing how<br />
impressed they are about the<br />
product.<br />
A nice thing about working as a<br />
consultant for Mary K is the freedom<br />
to host events whenever you want<br />
and to purchase products at a lower<br />
cost. No pressuring involved.<br />
“The reason I went in to this is like<br />
because I didn’t want to pressure<br />
people to buy it so that’s why if I have<br />
an open house, people can just come<br />
and go if they want to,” she said.

Lynn Sabo wanted to own a<br />
second hand book store since she<br />
was a teenager.<br />
Seeing that there was<br />
no book stores for a large<br />
area around Castor she<br />
decided that this was a<br />
good time to go for her<br />
dream.<br />
In Sept. 2017 she<br />
opened The Purple<br />
Platypus.<br />
The name is derived<br />
from a combination of<br />
Lynn’s favorite color,<br />
purple, and her husband’s<br />
fascination with<br />
that funny little<br />
Australian creature, the<br />
platypus.<br />
She raided her own collection<br />
of books to start<br />
the store and now donations<br />
and her exchange<br />
program keep it growing.<br />
The exchange program lets you<br />
bring in and exchange your books<br />
Secondhand Bookstore<br />
for in store credit on other books.<br />
The store has a wide variety of<br />
books, including children’s books<br />
from the baby books to<br />
young adult and all kinds<br />
of adult fiction and non<br />
fiction books, everything<br />
from old westerns to the<br />
most current titles.<br />
They even have audio<br />
books for those who like<br />
to listen to their books.<br />
The books are priced at<br />
one half the original<br />
price on the book.<br />
There is also a book<br />
club and a writing group<br />
associated with the store.<br />
Lynn is very happy<br />
and grateful for all the<br />
great support she has<br />
received from the community<br />
in this first year<br />
of being open.<br />

Community demand filled<br />
Eric and Justine Comeau recently<br />
married last year with the intention<br />
of living in the Consort area.<br />
As they were making plans to say<br />
‘I do’, they were also designing and<br />
constructing a completely unique,<br />
diversified liquor store – one unlike<br />
anywhere in East Central Alberta.<br />
There was no shortage of support<br />
as both sides of the family were<br />
useful in the vision of the new store.<br />
“We thought about it for a long<br />
time and then finally the time came<br />
where the land was available<br />
because we put it right beside the<br />
hotel in town because we wanted<br />
that lot. As soon as we heard there<br />
was more than one person looking<br />
for this lot, we jumped on it and<br />
bought it,” said Eric.<br />
Buffalo Trail liquor opened on<br />
March 23, 2017 where they haven’t<br />
looked back. The couple later married<br />
in August.<br />
Although a learning curve, the<br />
pair have been innovative in their<br />
approach to service, supporting a<br />
new loyalty program where the more<br />
you shop, the more you get back.<br />
“The word is spreading and that’s<br />
good,” Eric continued.<br />
The Growler Bar serves draft beer<br />
as well as other drinks on tap for<br />
customers to explore.<br />
The Alberta Gaming and LIquor<br />
Commission (AGLC) said it was the<br />
first one in the eastern corridor.<br />
“There were a few things in our<br />
stores that are best sellers for years<br />
and this is our way of showing them<br />
something else,” Eric said.<br />
There is always four different<br />
beers on tap while other times there<br />
may be ciders or sangria or wine.<br />
The growing Alberta craft beer<br />
industry has significantly grown<br />
making this bar a perfect way to<br />
showcase local brews as well.<br />
“With our store, the idea was to<br />
bring something totally different to<br />
such rural area period. We wanted to<br />
bring in these thing that nobody was<br />
seeing outside of like Red Deer. We’re<br />
bringing in these new concepts, craft<br />
beer, craft liquor and all these local<br />
products to redefine the liquor<br />
industry in Consort,” added Justine.<br />
The Buffalo Trail Liquor Store is<br />
open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on<br />
Weekdays and 11 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on<br />
Weekends.<br />

Better life in Canada<br />
AG Foods stores are represented in “I try to get anything the customer<br />
Alberta, British Columbia, & wants. I try to carry that and bring it<br />
Saskatchewan with stores in dozens in and keep a variety as much as I<br />
of communities.<br />
can,” said Lee.<br />
Just as your needs are unique, so Six years ago, Jason Lee, his wife<br />
are the locally owned and operated Kelly and daughter lived in Korea<br />
AG Foods stores; Coronation being where Lee found the country to be<br />
no exception.<br />
competitive.<br />
Owner and manager Jason Lee<br />

like any grocery<br />

produce is<br />
fresh, shelves<br />

is ready for<br />
business.<br />
A number of<br />

including a<br />
large selection<br />
of meat in<br />
their butcher<br />
section.<br />
He would work between 12 and 14<br />
hours a day.<br />
Lee and his family decided to move<br />
Canada in search of a better life as<br />
Lee did not wish his daughter to go<br />
through the same cycle as he did.<br />
They began their new life in<br />
Grand Prairie where<br />
they ran a liquor<br />
store.<br />
Due to the high<br />
amount of crime and<br />
economic pressures,<br />
they searched again<br />
and found the AG<br />

Fifty-four years of service to the community<br />
The fact that Coronation OK Tire<br />
has been here 54 years is an achievement<br />
Janet Zimmer is very proud of.<br />
“Lorne was an entrepreneur. In<br />
1964 we came with absolutely<br />
nothing and built this business to<br />
what it is today,” Zimmer<br />
said.<br />
Over the years, business<br />
grew steadily to<br />
warrant building a new<br />
shop in 1977, where the<br />
business is located today.<br />
With Lorne’s passing in<br />
2012 Janet continues to<br />
run the business with the<br />
help of son Mark Zimmer<br />
and long time employees<br />
Jim Campion who has<br />
been with the company<br />
for 52 years, Susan Wills<br />
for 16 years, Terry<br />
Dawson for 38 years,<br />
Walter Jaraway who has<br />
Lamontagne & Son Holdings Ltd.<br />
Maurice and Marion Lamontagne<br />
started this company over 50 years<br />
ago, hauling grain and gravel in the<br />
Coronation area. Their son Dennis<br />
and his sister Vonda are managing<br />
the company now.<br />
been with us now 16 years, Carl<br />
Beattie for 4 years and Ryan Taylor<br />
who has joined us August of this<br />
year.<br />
The company continues to serve<br />
Coronation and the surrounding<br />
They are based in Coronation but<br />
will go throughout east central<br />
Alberta.<br />
They have three trucks,<br />
one a super B train that is<br />
used mostly for grain<br />
area with tire needs and oil changes,<br />
in the shop, on the farm, from semi<br />
to a car - they look after them all as<br />
well as taking after hour call outs.<br />
“I have been pleased to have the<br />
business and I am very proud of<br />
Lorne for doing<br />
what he did in<br />
taking the initial<br />
risk. His motto was<br />
“you have to spend<br />
money to make<br />
money,” Janet said.<br />
“It’s been a wonderful<br />
experience.<br />
The customers<br />
have been great<br />
and the business<br />
has been good.”<br />
The company in<br />
turn, also supports<br />

Fun, safe environment for shooting practice<br />
It could be said that the Legacy<br />
Pistol Range Inc. and the Alberta<br />
Rangers is one of Paintearth County’s<br />
best kept secrets!<br />
Established on the ranch in 2015,<br />
the range’s location is SW-18-35-11-W4,<br />
along Lake Thelma Rd., just east of<br />
RR#120.<br />
The idea stemmed from the love of<br />
western history - both factual and fictional,<br />
a western lifestyle which we<br />
cultivate with a deep-rooted fascination<br />
for the shooting sports.<br />
The thought behind using the<br />
“Alberta Rangers” moniker for our<br />
group goes back to the colourful time<br />
in Alberta’s past (circa 1885) while<br />
during a period of unrest amongst her<br />
inhabitants, the Rocky Mountain<br />
Rangers came together to help keep<br />
the peace.<br />
These rangers came from mixed<br />
backgrounds. Some were cowboys<br />
who came up here with the cattle<br />
drives, others were storekeepers, exmounties,<br />
ranchers, adventurers and<br />
others with various stories. What they<br />
all had in common was that they<br />
could all shoot and they could all ride!<br />
Although any serious actions were<br />
not realized back in the day, we<br />
thought their spirit was worth holding<br />
onto and therefore celebrating.<br />
We are promoting the Legacy Pistol<br />
Range Inc., the home of the “Alberta<br />
Rangers”, as a safe and fun environment<br />
to gather and practice the<br />
shooting sports including target practice,<br />
rifle shooting up to a 308, small<br />
ALBERTA<br />
LEGACY PISTOL RANGE INC.<br />
R A N G E R S<br />
bore, and black powder, knife and axe<br />
throwing, cowboy action and archery,<br />
plus all sorts of other possibilities.<br />
We are also proud and excited to<br />
introduce the “Alberta Rangers<br />
Association” which will enable us to<br />
include cowboy mounted shooting -<br />
one of North America’s fastest<br />
growing equestrian sports.<br />
If you are an experienced shooter or<br />
someone considering something new,<br />
we encourage you to come and check<br />
us out! Not only does it make great<br />
therapy, but shooting also practiced in<br />
a safe and responsible manner can be<br />
an awesome activity for groups, the<br />
individual or the entire family to<br />
enjoy.<br />
Oh, Did I mention there is overnight<br />
primitive camping available upon<br />
request?<br />
See you on the range!<br />

it’s trailers.<br />

subjects including cosmetic work, axle<br />
replacement, brakes and bearings. He is able<br />

trailer services.<br />
“I carry a good inventory of quality parts so people<br />
don’t have to wait,” he says. “I have since increased<br />
the size of the shop and added a tire changer, and will<br />
soon be adding a brake lathe. I believe in good work<br />
and good service.”<br />
Born and raised in Alberta, Peters lives on the farm<br />
with his wife, and has three children and seven<br />
grandchildren. He has been involved with the<br />
Halkirk Bullarama and enjoys the<br />

<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Profile</strong> 2018<br />
EnGuard PC Ltd. supports community<br />
Jason and Deedee Smith are<br />
business partners of Enguard PC<br />
Ltd., a company with a drive to do<br />
better not only for themselves but<br />
the community of Hanna.<br />
Enguard PC Ltd. offers both<br />
retail and computer sales as well as<br />
repairs, technology recycling, and<br />
workshops.<br />
Jason’s computer career began as<br />
a lumber yard hand. The company<br />
brought in a computer system<br />
which he found he understood how<br />
it worked.<br />
“I just ran through the manuals<br />
and asked what was going on and<br />
was able to implement their<br />
system,” said Jason.<br />
The company that sold the<br />
system then hired Jason as a support<br />
staff and software trainer. He<br />
harbours both retail experience<br />
and computer experience from<br />
these jobs.<br />
This idea eventually started as a<br />
small business in Jason’s mother’s<br />
basement before moving to Hanna<br />
where he worked out of a single<br />
office focusing on on-site repairs.<br />
This single office space grew to<br />
50 square feet of retail floor space<br />
and then again to 1,100 square feet.<br />
November 15th, 2011 was the day<br />
EnGuard opened to the public in<br />
Hanna.<br />
Jason chose Hanna because the<br />
busy bustle of Edmonton was hard<br />
to break into and his son lived in<br />
Hanna.<br />
He came by for a weekend visit<br />
and helped various people with<br />
their computer problems around<br />
town.<br />
Jason realized there was a large<br />
need and an opportunity for these<br />
services in and around Hanna.<br />
The company now offers one-onone<br />
training for those that are not<br />
computer literate or have simple<br />
questions that may need additional<br />
guidance.<br />
Clients are asked to provide a list<br />
of questions they would like<br />
answered and then Jason will come<br />
up with an itinerary to focus on the<br />
topics they want to cover when he<br />
meets with a client.<br />
Clients have the option of coming<br />
to the business with their tech or<br />
can have Jason arrive at their<br />
home for support when doing this<br />
one-on-one session.<br />
From computer safety to<br />
uploading photos onto a USB stick,<br />
EnGuard PC Ltd. will do their best<br />
to help.<br />
Over-the-counter training is<br />
another style of education used<br />
when discussing computer issues<br />
with clientele.<br />
“It’s just a basic understanding<br />
that people need and we do a lot of<br />
over-the-counter training we call<br />
it, where somebody comes in and<br />
they have one little question and<br />
half an hour later they have a<br />
better understanding of it. For<br />
example, how the internet works or<br />
what a browser is,” said Jason.<br />
“We’ve gone up as complex as<br />
dealing with many different<br />
accounting software packages.”<br />
This line of work is something<br />
that just comes natural to Jason.<br />
“It’s simple, it doesn’t stress me<br />
out, I don’t panic over problems.<br />
Not computer related anyways,”<br />
laughed Jason. “It works, it clicks<br />
well.”<br />
He used to get in trouble by<br />
‘messing around’ with the school<br />
computers while in highschool and<br />
hasn’t stopped dealing with computers<br />
since.<br />
A favourite part of his passion is<br />
when he can build new computers<br />
from a large number of parts which<br />
gives him a sense of<br />
accomplishment.<br />
The couple also loves to help customers<br />
reach their goals.<br />
As for community spirit, the<br />
couple have dived into community<br />
initiatives, offering support wherever<br />
they can.<br />
Jason is the president of the local<br />
food bank where EnGuard conducts<br />
at least 3 food drives a year.<br />
They also contribute to the<br />
library summer reading program<br />
and the Chamber of Commerce<br />
where Jason just stepped down<br />
from the board after five years of<br />
service.<br />
“If you come to me and you are<br />
running a local program, we’ll help<br />
you out in some way. We won’t give<br />
you cash but we would offer a<br />
product or prize,” he said.<br />
“Anywhere we can help.”<br />
EnGuard PC Ltd. is Hanna’s One-<br />
Stop Computer Shop for all your<br />
computer needs and questions.

Larson graduated from high<br />
school and then saved money before<br />
pursuing post secondary education.<br />
He worked in the oil<br />
patch where he sustained<br />
a serious injury<br />
that led him to the<br />
chiropractor.<br />
“I couldn’t believe<br />
how fast I<br />
responded. It was<br />
just like ‘Whoa, that<br />
is amazing’. That is the<br />
first bad thing that<br />
happened to me in my<br />
life in terms of severity<br />
and I was amazed at<br />
how it came around,” said Larson.<br />
The Hanna Chiropractic Clinic<br />
currently employs 12 people, accompanies<br />
6,000 square feet of floor<br />
space, and has two satellite clinics<br />
in Castor and Consort.<br />

patient care and work extensively<br />
with similar professions to ensure<br />
needs are met.<br />

treat and help prevent conditions<br />
and disorders related to the back,<br />
neck, pelvis, extremity joints<br />
and the effect they have on<br />
the nervous system.<br />

therapy including deep tissue<br />
massage, Swedish massage,<br />
pregnancy massage, sports<br />
massage and active isolated<br />

Dr. Craig Larson are looking to improve their<br />
fitness as well as those with<br />
chronic diseases can pursue<br />
exercise therapy. It helps improve<br />
Functional Mobility for all levels<br />

injuries.<br />

5000 sq. ft. of unique gifts and collectables<br />
The Irma Home and Garden<br />
Centre was a lumber store when Ron<br />
and Aletha Dempsey purchased it in<br />
1978.<br />
It continued on as a lumber store<br />
through the boom of the 1980’s<br />
with lawn and garden supplies<br />
only a small part of it. When the<br />
lumber business started to die<br />
out, Ron and his wife Aletha<br />
decided to expand the garden<br />
centre.<br />
Aletha passed away 13 years<br />
ago but Ron continued to grow<br />
and expand the business.<br />
Ron does not like to buy in<br />
large quantities, he likes to buy<br />
in ‘ones and twos’ so that each<br />
customer can know that they are<br />
getting something unique.<br />
The store has over 5000 square feet<br />
of display space. This is needed for<br />
the large amount of merchandise<br />
that it has.<br />
They carry lawn fountains, arbors,<br />
lawn benches and much more for the<br />
garden.<br />
There is home and giftware available<br />
also, John Deere collectibles,<br />
Bernie Brown pottery, unique lamps,<br />
picture frames and large clocks to<br />
give you a small sample of what is<br />
there.<br />
The Centre is open year round and<br />
Ron likes to keep the seasonal merchandise<br />
in the season. This means<br />
that you won’t find the Christmas<br />
stock available until after<br />
Remembrance Day, but what you<br />
find will be unique and different.<br />
Irma Home and Garden will be<br />
having a open house Sunday,<br />
November 18th from 11am till 4pm<br />
to showcase some new unique items<br />
that have arrived in time to stimulate<br />
some holiday shopping a little<br />
early this year.<br />
The Centre is located on Highway<br />

Lougheed has something to offer in all seasons<br />
Incorporated in 1911, the Village was named<br />
after the late Senator James Lougheed, grandfather<br />
to former Premier Peter Lougheed.<br />
“The Friendly Village”, with a population of<br />
almost 300, located along Hwy 13 and on the<br />
Canadian Pacific Railway, is an hour’s drive east<br />
of Camrose, and two hours southeast of<br />
Edmonton.<br />
Lougheed’s trading area has a diversified economic<br />
base, with traditional roots in both<br />
agriculture and the oilfield industry, and has<br />
promise for future growth and prosperity.<br />
Lougheed is home to both commercial and<br />
industrial business, providing products and services<br />
to the community and area, including a<br />
grocery store, banking, Diamond J Bakery, costume<br />
rental, special events rental, machinery<br />
dealerships, agri-retail business, and water well<br />
drilling.<br />
The Lougheed Seed Cleaning Plant has built a<br />
new modernized facility, opening in 2017 and<br />
greatly adding to the northern horizon of the<br />
village.<br />
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch in<br />
Lougheed is named in remembrance of Victoria<br />
Cross recipient, C.J. Kinross . Private Kinross’s<br />
citation shows that “throughout the day he<br />
showed marvelous coolness and courage,<br />
fighting with the utmost aggressiveness against<br />
heavy odds until he was seriously wounded.”<br />
Private Kinross single-handedly knocked out a<br />
machine gun crew.<br />
The Legion Hall’s “Wall of Honour” proudly<br />
displays the framed photos and biographies of<br />
over 60 Veterans from the Lougheed area,<br />
including Victoria Cross recipient C.J. Kinross,<br />
immortalizing those who participated in the<br />
World Wars. The Wall of Honour is a<br />
unique and cherished statement to the<br />
pride of this community and the honour<br />
bestowed for our military residents.<br />
If you are in the area, make sure to stop<br />
in and enjoy the food and warm hospitality.<br />
For residents and visitors alike, the Village<br />
has something to offer in all seasons.<br />
Spring, summer and fall, you will find two<br />
campgrounds and picnic locations, trout<br />
pond, model aircraft field, museum, four<br />
regulation baseball diamonds, a walking<br />
trail and an annual Agricultural Fair held<br />
in August.<br />
During the winter, the “hub of activity” is<br />
at the Lougheed Field House with its<br />
24-hour gym and a variety of ongoing activities<br />
and indoor sports, as well as the curling<br />
rink. Olympic champion, Kevin Martin<br />
started his curling career in Lougheed<br />
throwing rocks many nights after school.<br />
Lougheed has a very active community life,<br />
with ample opportunity to participate in the<br />
Village’s many community service organizations<br />
and social groups. Bingos, socials and other community<br />
events are held in the community hall, as<br />
well as the Seniors’ Centre and Lions’ Den.<br />
The Community Society hosts an old-fashion<br />
Christmas every year. On a Saturday before<br />
Christmas, you can join the fun for a tree<br />
decorating contest, old fashioned games,<br />
exhibits, Mrs. Claus has a kitchen with<br />
goodies and, of course, Santa Claus makes<br />
an appearance to present the children with<br />
goodies.<br />
Within the last few years, Lougheed has<br />
become home to the largest population of<br />
‘Mexican Mennonites’ within the Flagstaff<br />
region. To accommodate this population as<br />
they deal with their new Canadian home,<br />
the citizens of Lougheed have initiated<br />
events and enterprises to ensure a smooth<br />
transition to their new chosen home.<br />
Lougheed, “The Friendly Village”, has<br />
room to grow, with both residential and<br />
commercial lots available for development.<br />

Leader in oil well maintenance and construction<br />
The basics of oil drilling haven’t<br />
changed much since the black gold<br />
was first discovered lurking underneath<br />
the Alberta prairie. You drill a<br />
hole into the ground, and (hopefully)<br />
you get oil.<br />
Today, we rely on modern technology<br />
to help us locate, evaluate,<br />
drill, pump and abandon oil wells.<br />
More and more, how well a company<br />
involved in the progress is a factor in<br />
their ability to grow and survive.<br />
Pyramid Corporation is a North<br />
American leader in oil well maintenance<br />
and construction, specializing<br />
in measurement and instrumentation<br />
technology. Not only is Pyramid<br />
leading the way in well monitoring<br />
technology, they are helping to pioneer<br />
new advances to increase safety,<br />
well throughput and getting the most<br />
out of the life of a well.<br />
Pyramid was founded in 1993 in<br />
Nisku, Alberta. The Coronation<br />
office, managed by Lee Martin, was<br />
one of the first field offices established<br />
by the company.<br />
Martin has seen this shift in well<br />
Technology upgrades<br />
ensure driver confidence<br />
Since 2008, Brad Wohlgemuth,<br />
owner of AutoTrust Stettler, has seen<br />
a growing level of comfort when it<br />
comes to customers and their vehicles<br />
thanks to advancements in<br />
technology.<br />
The goal has always been<br />
to instill this confidence<br />
but with technology, it<br />
has made that process<br />
much simpler.<br />
“Over the years we have<br />
probably invested in 10 Scan Tools<br />
and are trying to stay on top of some<br />
leading edge techniques and tools<br />
that aren’t readily available in the<br />
industry. That has given us a real<br />
advantage with finding some of the<br />
monitoring -- what was once accomplished<br />
by a team of field monitoring<br />
staff reading gauges and filing paper<br />
reports have been replaced by<br />
modern SCADA monitoring systems<br />
sending real-time information<br />
through microwave or satellite<br />

challenging stuff. There is no crystal<br />
ball but some of these things give us<br />
the ability to really see what’s going<br />
on,” said Wohlgemuth.<br />
AutoTrust is the only shop in town<br />
that has a tablet inspection system<br />
that gives customers real time feedback<br />
as to what the technicians are<br />
finding.<br />
transmissions. Pneumatic and<br />
mechanical gauges have been<br />
replaced by electronic sensors, PLCs<br />
and computer systems. A technician<br />
many miles away from a well is now<br />
able to monitor, calibrate and control<br />
key systems using a computer,<br />
offering many levels of control and<br />
safety unimagined in years past.<br />
The key to Pyramid’s success is its<br />
people according to Martin. Treating<br />
them like human beings and<br />
ensuring retention of talented people<br />
is what’s kept Pyramid on the<br />
forefront.<br />
Ensuring the loyalty of customers<br />
is also key -- it’s repeat business and<br />
being a positive presence in the community<br />
that keeps companies like<br />
Pyramid in business.<br />
“Keep visiting them, get to know<br />
them,” says Martin, sharing the<br />
secret of keeping satisfied clients.<br />
Keeping ahead of the curve is vital<br />
for any company. Influencing the<br />
next generation of monitoring and<br />
safety technology is what Pyramid<br />
does best.<br />

tools that help see the overall<br />
health of the engine before there is<br />

If a customer is curious<br />
about this, they have the<br />
means to tell you.<br />

Friday Night Buffets a new favourite<br />
With a passion for cooking from a<br />
young age, Brenda (Murray) Brinson<br />
began her journey being born and<br />
raised on a farm in Saskatchewan.<br />
Her mother and grandmother<br />
inspired her to follow her dreams<br />
where her career in the food industry<br />
began at only 16-years-old.<br />
Brinson moved to Airdrie when<br />
she was 19. She worked under a chef<br />
in a local restaurant.<br />
This was where she<br />
gained a wealth of other<br />
useful skills like bartending,<br />
waiting tables<br />
and, of course, dish<br />
washing.<br />
In 1990, she made the<br />
decision to move to Stettler<br />
in pursuit of continued<br />
food experience working<br />
at the Town Pump,<br />
Smitty’s Restaurant and<br />
the Stettler Hospital.<br />
By 1994, she received<br />
her Journeyman Ticket<br />
with a red seal; this<br />
achievement being an interprovincial<br />
standard of excellence that is<br />
recognized across Canada.<br />
Brinson owned and operated the<br />
Sandwich Patch from 1994 to 1998<br />
then began her catering side of the<br />
business in 2001.<br />
The summer of 2013 was a memorable<br />
one for Brinson as she was able<br />
to purchase Maggie Joe’s Catering<br />
Cafe on Main Street in Stettler.<br />
Brenda’s<br />
Cozy Cafe<br />
Visit our Facebook page for full menus<br />
4913 - 50 th St. Stettler, AB • 403-742-8166<br />
October 1, 2013 marked the humble<br />
beginning of Brenda’s Cozy Cafe.<br />
The business has grown exponentially<br />
thanks to the community<br />
support provided by the residents of<br />
Stettler.<br />
Five years later, the business has<br />
10 to 12 employees on staff.<br />
A favourite put on by the local<br />
business is the Friday Night Buffet<br />
where each week is a new spin on<br />
classic dishes.<br />
Some previous buffets<br />
focused on Roast Beef and<br />
Turkey dishes, Italian food,<br />
Ribs and Chicken and<br />
Mexican cuisine.<br />
<strong>Business</strong> hours are from<br />
8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Check<br />
their Facebook Page @<br />
BrendasCozyCafe for updates<br />
on upcoming buffets.<br />
Brenda hopes you enjoy<br />
your dining experience as<br />
much as she enjoys creating<br />
and serving exciting new<br />
dishes.

Bringing<br />
Amazing<br />
Meals<br />
Home<br />
Any busy person knows that a<br />
good, hearty meal can sometimes be<br />
hard to come by.<br />
That is why the owner of Teresa’s<br />
in Donalda came up with the more<br />
than perfect solution to this problem.<br />
Teresa Kneeland has been surrounded<br />
by food her entire life. She<br />
was raised on a farm near Donalda<br />
where her parents operated a small<br />
grain and hog operation. Cows and<br />
chickens would often roam about the<br />
property as well.<br />
A large garden would help feed her<br />
relatively large family as money<br />
would run tight.<br />
As a young girl, she associated food<br />
with both happy and sad memories.<br />
“I loved the memories, smiles and<br />
laughter that form around a shared<br />
meal,” said Kneeland. “One of my<br />
fondest memories as a child was<br />
when the harvest crew would gather<br />
in a dusty field to eat. We would sit,<br />
eat and laugh. I loved those moments,<br />
the togetherness. Many rural folks<br />
will tell you the same<br />
stories.”<br />
Her mother had a job<br />
off the farm so it was up<br />
to Teresa to start<br />
cooking. She was<br />
responsible for canning,<br />
cooking, and baking as<br />
early as 10-years-old.<br />
She never pursued<br />
post secondary education<br />
in foods but still<br />
followed her passion,<br />
creating unique and<br />
colourful dishes that are made of<br />
mostly local ingredients.<br />
“We use as many local products as<br />
we can. We deal a lot with the hutterite<br />
colony out here and they’ve<br />
been amazing to me. Local butcher<br />
shop in Bashaw we deal with as well.<br />
We try to source as many local products<br />
as we can,” she continued.<br />
She was a single mom who was the<br />
owner of a grocery store which failed<br />
but that failure pointed her in the<br />
direction of following her passion for<br />
cooking.<br />
She dabbled in catering and then<br />
worked out of her own kitchen before<br />
entering cooking venues. In 2012, she<br />
built the building she works out of<br />
today.<br />
To her, a dish is not just a meal but<br />
an experience in and of itself.<br />
“I gauge my success on a product<br />
through how people talk about it<br />
after and if they aren’t saying it’s<br />
wonderful and amazing I go back to<br />
the drawing board. I make sure I get<br />
that reaction and we do. My staff is<br />
amazing as well,” said Kneeland.<br />
This past year was when the business<br />
headed in the direction of frozen<br />
meals.<br />
They take all main and side dishes<br />
from the catering menu and put them<br />
into frozen food containers that<br />
anyone can take home.<br />
“It started out that I was making a<br />
little bit for seniors around Stettler<br />
because they don’t eat well and it<br />
kills me if people don’t eat well,”<br />
laughed Kneeland. “I dabbled in it<br />
and then last year I had my business<br />
partner approach me and asked me if<br />
I wanted to dive into this and we did.”<br />
Kneeland has a goal of having multiple<br />
stations set up across Alberta<br />
within 5 years.<br />
Teresa’s offers catering, frozen<br />
meals, and desserts, with a retail<br />
front to boot.<br />
Anyone can find her food at four<br />
other locations for on-the-go<br />
frozen food as well as an<br />
online store<br />
(TERESASFOOD.com).<br />
They run a junior high<br />
cooking program for the<br />
school in Donalda where<br />
they serve the entire school<br />
which happens once a week<br />
in January.<br />
Teresa’s has 6 full-time and<br />
10 to 12 part time workers on<br />
staff for all of your culinary<br />
needs.

Maximum Hearing, Maximum Trust<br />
Although new to Three Hills,<br />
Maxine Williams-Herbert, a<br />
Registered Hearing Aid Practitioner<br />
and owner of Maximum Hearing, is<br />
not new to living in a rural community<br />
having grown up on a small<br />
farm in the Edmonton area.<br />
After graduating High School, she<br />
moved to Edmonton where in 1986<br />
she was given the opportunity to join<br />
The Bay Hearing Aid Centre as a<br />
trainee.<br />
Once she achieved her accreditations,<br />
she travelled throughout<br />
northern Alberta establishing<br />
hearing aid clinics and working with<br />
local health units to provide<br />
care to the residents<br />
of various communities.<br />
“There is no substitute<br />
to hearing the simple<br />
sounds of life – a bird<br />
singing, the rainfall, or the<br />
sound of a loved one<br />
sharing the events of the<br />

day,” said Williams-Herbert. “I feel<br />
blessed that I have had the opportunity<br />
over the past 30 years to<br />
reintroduce those sounds to so many.<br />
The rewards are measured in tears<br />
of joy and smiles of relief.<br />
In 1997, Williams-Herbert accepted<br />
a position to open a new clinic in<br />
Calgary.<br />
Her last position was at the<br />
Calgary Ear Centre where she<br />
worked with a team of specialists<br />
providing a one-stop approach to<br />
hearing health care, offering everything<br />
from counselling, Tinnitus<br />
management, hearing aids, to surgical<br />
solutions for clients.<br />
Although she found this work<br />
extremely rewarding, she also found<br />
the pace of an ever-growing city quite<br />
overwhelming and longed to slow<br />
things down. That was when she visited<br />
Three Hills for the first time.<br />
After spending 30+ years working<br />
for someone else, she decided it was<br />
time to venture out on her own.<br />
Shortly after, Maximum Hearing<br />
was created.<br />

Prairie Vision continues to host an onsite<br />
lab to make selected prescriptions on a<br />
same day basis. All of our cutting edge<br />
technology will continue to be available<br />
in our new space. Instruments such as<br />
the Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer, the<br />
Optical Coherence Tomographer and our<br />
retina imaging system (California<br />
Optomap) will provide specialized testing<br />
for glaucoma and other ocular diseases.<br />
We now have an exam room that allows<br />
for wheel chair accessible eye exams.<br />
This means there will be less transferring<br />
of these patients using wheelchairs<br />
into the exam room chair than previous.<br />
As we want to offer “one-stop shop” service,<br />
we also offer Vision Therapy; we<br />
proudly employ the first Canadian certified<br />
vision therapist from Alberta.<br />
Prairie Vision has been providing<br />
excellent vision services for over 25<br />
years in our community and are<br />
committed to bringing new<br />
dreams and new visions year<br />
after year. We continue to strive<br />
to take the best care of our<br />
patients and provide<br />
a wide variety<br />
of products in our<br />
office. Our vision<br />
is to provide a<br />
great patient experience. Our new location<br />
opens many doors for us to grow and<br />
bring more to our patients from<br />
Wainwright and the surrounding areas.<br />

BSE crisis alongside the cattle<br />
producers.<br />
Veterinary Medical Center<br />
of Eastern Alberta<br />

industry and changed the way a lot of<br />
veterinarians work with the cattle.<br />
While the clinics still handle the<br />
individual larger animal cases the<br />
major emphasis is on working with<br />
herds.<br />
With the goal of being able to provide<br />
the eastern side of the province<br />
of Alberta with veterinary services<br />
with more vets and increased staff<br />
Dr. weeks has since expanded with a<br />
state of the art facility, the<br />
Veterinary Medical Center of<br />
Eastern Alberta #20, 2902-15 Ave.,<br />
located in Wainwright, for both small<br />
and larger animals.<br />
