Innisfree Pond Stocked Up
For Annual Derby
222
Innisfree and District Fish and Game Association members worked quickly to release the 67 – eight pound rainbow trout fish
into the pond located west of Innisfree. The delivery is the second of the year and is just in time for the organization’s annual free fishing derby,
scheduled for this Saturday, June 20. Pictured here are, from left, association members
Joe Sydora, Chris Nott, Carolyn Woodall and Alan Sharp, as they release some of the larger fish for the fishing derby.
I
nnisfree and District Fish and Game Association (IDFGA) members were at
the trout pond on Friday, June 12, to release the last of the fish, just in time
for the annual Fishing Derby scheduled for June 20.
A few weeks back, 1,600 rainbow trout were released into the pond but last
Friday’s release saw 67 fish weighing up to eight pounds, released for the hopeful
fishermen. The fish came from one of only a handful of trout farms left in Alberta, Reister’s Trout Farm of Alliance, Alberta. Dan Reister carefully netted the
fish from the delivery tanks, and passed the net to waiting members who quickly
released them into the pond. Each year the society stocks the pond with rainbow
trout for area residents to enjoy as well as to promote the sport.
In past years the IDFGA have made a number of improvements to the trout
pond including picnic benches and a floating dock complete with benches at the
end of it.
The Fishing Derby is scheduled for this weekend, Saturday, June 20, and will
offer hot dogs, hamburgers and beverages to those participating, free of change.
The derby gets underway at 1 p.m. and will close at 4 p.m. with prizes awarded
for each designated category.
Everyone is welcome to participate in the derby located at the pond west of Innisfree along Highway 16, so don’t miss out on this fun-filled afternoon of fishing.
No fishing stories about “the one that got away” allowed!

some of the larger trout fish which were delivered on June 12.

Remembering Daniel Lindballe
O
n June 7, family and friends
of Daniel Lindballe made their
way down the ditches along
Highway 16 west of Innisfree to honour and remember the young man who
lost his life in a snowmobile accident on
January 4, 2007. Every year since, the
group have gathered to help clean the
section of the highway which was previously cleaned by Daniel and his fellow
4H members. Nearly 30 people working
in six groups scoured the ditches and
honored Lindballe’s life.
Pictured here are Bradley Simpson, Daniel’s father
Dean Lindballe, Judy Simpson,
Brooklyn Fisher, Jasmine Fisher, Nathan Fisher.
Joe Sydora, on the left, and Ron Osinchuk
picked up the garbage bags from the stretch
of highway cleaned by family and friends
of Daniel Lindballe on June 7.
Bale Fire
Along Highway 870
I
nnisfree firefighters were kept busy this past
week as they were called out to yet another fire,
this one north of Innisfree on Wednesday, June
10. A truck hauling bales was forced to dump part of
its load in a field adjacent to Highway 870 but the
driver apparently did not realize he had dumped
the bales under a power line. Crews responded and
quickly got the fire under control. A backhoe was
called in to help spread the bales so firefighters could
extinguish the remaining embers. Firefighters were
called back to the scene the following day to put out
hot spots that had flared up again.
Lightning Storm
To Blame For Blaze
O
n June 11 fire crew were called out again to an apparent lightning strike a half mile south of Highway 631
on Range Road 121. The land owner had just returned
home during the storm and noticed a lightning flash close to the
farm site. He said within minutes smoke could be seen along the
road of the property prompting him to call 911. The landowner
grabbed a shovel and beat back the flames until fire crew arrived
on scene. As soon as the fire was deemed extinguished, County
of Minburn Fire Chief Ross Warren quickly ordered firefighters
off the road due to the continuing lightning storm in the area.

emember Marty Jackson who received a gold medal at the track
and field zones in Fort McMurray for high jump and then advanced to
the Provincials in Lethbridge? She reported it was a good experience and she
will be better prepared if she is lucky
enough to get the chance to go to Provincials again. Marty placed seventh
in her category of high jump … that’s
seventh in the province! Great job and
thanks for representing our school.
The Grade 1 class is busy wrapping
things up. The students are learning
about the needs of plants and animals
in Science. The students love learning
about animals! They are classifying
animals, talking about animal cover-
ings, and how animals adapt in their
environment. After learning about animals the students will be heading to
Storyland Valley Zoo in Edmonton to
see some of the animals they have been
studying.
The Grade 2 class is very excited
to be heading to Edmonton for their
year-end field trip. They are touring
the zoo in the morning and exploring the Telus World of Science in the
afternoon. The students will also be
watching Under the Sea 3D, an IMAX
movie. What a great way to finish off
the year and their Science unit on
Small Crawling and Flying Animals!
The Grade 3 class is having so much
fun learning about Animal Life Cycles.
The students are busy watching and
recording the changes in their caterpil-
lars as they go through metamorphosis.
They also have tadpoles in their classroom and, from caring for them, have
learned about their life cycle, feeding
habits and habitat.
The push is on to finish up all of the
curriculum’s loose ends. Grade 4 students are in the home stretch. They will
be going to Fort Edmonton on Wednesday, June 24, and students are looking
forward to going and seeing what it was
like back during the fur trade.
The Grade 5 class would like to say
thanks to Rose Gorniak, Patti Mason
and Don Amero for joining them on
their Wetland field trip.
The Grade 6 class is planning a big
celebration at the end of the year as
they are going to the Telus World of
Science for an overnight sleepover un-
der the stars in the Planetarium. Excitement is in the air! Speaking of air,
their last Science unit is Air, Aerodynamics and Flight and they plan to test
out some paper gliders, hand-made helicopters, kites, and learn about how airplanes fly. Earlier in the year they were
lucky enough to have Science in Motion
give them a very educational presentation on air and aerodynamics and so it
looks like they might already be able to
fly! Let the challenges begin! On Friday, June 12 we had our end of
the year Baseball Day and our Parent
Advisory parents barbequed up burgers
and hotdogs for all staff and students.
Everyone enjoys the afternoon of playing
ball…the water balloons instead of balls
made for a fun way to finish the day.

Finishing Up The Year
Small Engines Members
Light Horse Members
Submitted by Rachel Farr
V
egreville 4H Multi Club
members finished up
their year this past
weekend with 17 members. It
was a great year of learning to
do by doing. Projects for 2015
were light horse, small engines, woodworking, foods, and
photography.
Sunday, June 7, the Vegreville 4H Multi Club had their
achievement day, when everyone presented their project
boards and books to a group of
judges. The members walked
with the judges and explained
the project boards and books.
While the judges were left
alone to critique the projects,
the members had a quick game
of ball. After lunch the judges
talked to the group about each
project, giving them praise and
a few pointers for improvement.
Cherie Ziegler judged the
light horse project. She loved
all the great pictures and details the members put into
their displays and praised
them on their hard work. She
also reminded them how important keeping track of the
feed and all the health and
maintenance was.
Joanne McNiven was this
year’s foods leader. The foods
project had a delightful year
with a great deal of hands-on
learning. The group made apple pies, energy bits, banana
muffins, and even meat pies.
The group worked well together and learned so much about
measuring and nutrition. They
each got to make their own
recipes from start to finish;
nothing was ever pre-done for
them. Project members were
Jaycee McNiven, Hayley McNiven and Mark McAmmond.
The judge for the books and
boards was Marie Bartsch.
The group left treats such as
the energy bars and muffins to
butter her up. Marie was very
pleased with the variety of creations the children made.
The three woodworking
members had a great year

enue. They learned about tools
and safety and were able to complete a woodworking project of
their choice. Allie Oneschuk built
a couple of very cool planters.
Moslen Dubuc built a well-constructed banner stand, and first
year member Revon Dubuc was
energetic and created a planter
and a teeter totter. They all enjoy
their year thoroughly with 4H.
Project judge Ron Steinbach was
amazed with the quality of work
the group had done. He also encouraged them to keep building!
Small Engines project had a
busy year. In September local
residents donated old non-working riding lawnmowers to the
four adventurous boys. Zackery
Farr, Nolan Downing, Brayden
Zabrick and Mark McAmmond
took on these big projects under
the watchful eye of Vegreville
Deerland’s Arnold Sen. Arnold
helped the boys through out the
entire winter, it took some time,
but by May they were all up and
running. They had to learn how to
take off the mower decks, rebuild
carbs, replace front axles, the ins
and outs of the spark system and
then repaint the lawnmower and
get in racing condition for the
Vegreville Father’s Day Event.
The photography group consisted of Dylan Vadnais, Britt
McAmmond and Chelsea Downing. The three girls got to learn
about spacing, lighting, camera
settings and so much more. One
of the highlights was a field trip
Photography Members
with local photographer Lisabo Photography. The members
learned so much about the tips
and tricks of the trade. For the
achievement day they got to highlight and feature their favorite
shots throughout the year. Project leader Maryann McAmmond
was very pleased with the group’s
progress throughout the year.
With today’s digital technology
the members were encouraged to
keep clicking!
This is such a short sample of
what the kids got to do for the
year. With other group activities
like Winter Fun Day, the CFR,
Galaxyland and more, it really
was such a fun filled year. Can’t
wait to see what the next year
will bring when we all learn to do
by doing!

Vegreville’s Downtown Market
A Hit With Visitors
Submitted by Rachel Farr, Economic Development & Tourism Town of Vegreville
T
he streets were hopping with vendors and music on June 13 in Vegreville’s
downtown. Despite the cold raining weather, vendors put up their tents
to sell their wares. Such a great selection from home based businesses to
unique handmade crafts. This year is the fifth year for the Vegreville downtown
markets. Economic Development & Tourism with the Town of Vegreville and the
Vegreville & District Chamber of Commerce love the benefits that the markets
bring to the community. They have seen people from as far away as Edmonton,
drive to Vegreville just to check out the market. With the children’s favorite
bouncy house, shopping and live entertainment by Perogies & Jam, why wouldn’t
they want to come down and check it out? There are two more markets happening
this summer in Vegreville’s downtown, July 18 and Sept 12. Make sure you don’t
miss out on this great family experience.

E
very now and then a special Sunday falls into my lap and that is
exactly what happened this last
Sunday. It started at 4:30 a.m. when a
sweet little voice whispered in my ear,
“Nama the sun is awake and the birdies
are singing, it’s time to get up!”
Even though that has to be the best
manner to be awakened, 4:30 a.m. is
just too early for this grandma! So we
had a little chat, mostly about dreams,
the kind that you have at night with
your eyes closed, and I managed to
sweet talk her back into a few more
hours of shut eye. Eventually though,
all that energy had to explode and the
bed became a mess, with sheets from
several different sleeping nannies
(blankets), forsaken for the day’s adventures that were waiting.
Unfortunately my cupboards held no
cereal and my fridge no milk. It was
a last minute sleep over so provisions
were at an all-time low. We managed to
settle on French toast and while I put it
together, she got her doll house in order
and her “My Little Ponies” brushed for
the day. Although I was bit rusty at the
French toast thing, it was delicious and
after getting dressed we headed to the
barn to feed the cats and see the horses.
We got waylaid by the playhouse,
A.K.A. my spring and summer home,
and had to spend some time getting the
new groceries that had arrived since her
last visit. We unpacked and put them
away and she made me a ‘sandwich’ out
of stinky cheese, sliced chicken meat
and brown beans…it was delicious!
When we finally arrived at the ,
both cats rushed out for a good petting and snuggle, the kind that only
can be achieved in arms that are super small and truly affectionate. She

Minburn County Celebrates 50 Years
T
he County of Minburn celebrated its 50 year anniversary last
Wednesday, June 10 at the Innisfree Rec Centre where area dignitaries, county residents and neighbouring
municipal representatives gathered to
help mark the occasion.
Master of Ceremonies Darwin Ullery
thanked everyone for attending and
then introduced the elementary classes of Innisfree Delnorte School who led
everyone in singing O Canada.
Guest speakers took turns at the podium to congratulate Minburn County
on the anniversary including County
Reeve Eric Anderson. The long-time
resident of the county said his great
grandfather homesteaded in the area
and the family farm has since seen six
generations of Andersons on the land.
Anderson gave acknowledgement to
the County Council, past and present,
as well as the staff for much of its success.
County Manager Dave Marynowich
said he has seen much growth and technology changes within his many years
with Minburn County.
Shirley McNaughtan, partner with
Reynolds Mirth Richards and Farmer
who have worked with the county on
a number of matters, said in the early
1990s their firm helped the county in resolving an issue with two oil companies
who challenged an assessment. With
funding assistance from the Alberta
Association of Municipal Districts and
Counties (AAMDC), this issue proved
to be an important resolution province-wide, benefiting all municipalities.
Accounting firm, Wilde & Company’s,
Colette Miller, said that in the 35 years
their firm has worked with the county
they have never seen any issues in the
finance side of things. She congratulated Director Of Finance, Susan Babyn,
on her exemplary work over the years
in addition to the County’s accounting department on the work they have
done.
“Partnerships are important,” she
said and added that many hands are
working towards “making the future a
better place” for everyone.
Soren Odegard brought congratulations from the Chair and Board of the
AAMDC. He also jokingly remarked on
how in 1991 the county office moved
into the old jail and the following year,
hired Manager Marynowich, producing
chuckles from the room.
Unable to attend but send their congratulations were MP Leon Benoit,
MLA Richard Starke and Jannette
Riedel of FCSS. A number of plaque
presentations were also made from the
counties of Two Hills, Lamont, Smoky
Lake Vermilion River and St. Paul. A
lunch social followed the presentations
before the celebrations ended.
Councillors and residents of the County had a chance to meet
at the Fiftieth Celebration. Pictured here are county resident
Ray Nedzielski, Councillor Richard Wagner and Councillor Tara Kuzio.
Soren Odegard - County of Two Hills Councillor, on the left,
and Smoky Lake County Reeve Ron Bobocel,
were two of the many dignitaries in attendance
of the County of Minburn’s fiftieth celebrations.
Innisfree Delnorte School’s elementary classes were invited
to lead everyone in the singing of our national anthem.
Vermilion Mural
Graces Dicke’s
Wicker Building
C
algary Artist Barry Overn has, once again, been
busy in the town of Vermilion, working to complete yet another beautiful mural for the town.
This one, located on the former Dicke’s Wicker building, depicts an old milk truck making a delivery to the
creamery. The mural, supported by the Vermilion Allied
Arts, is one of a number of pieces Overn has done for the
Town, including the mural on the Seniors Centre and
another on the wall of Apple Drugs. The artist started
the wall on June 1 and was finished by the end of last
week. Overn has been painting for more than 20 years
and in the past has worked on projects for Broadway,
Disney and Universal Studios.

Acreage Antics – Billie
By Lorna Usenik
H
ave you had a
dream as a kid
that didn’t seem
possible? I did, I wanted a
black horse with a white
mane and tail. I think I
must have seen a picture
because I sure never saw
a real horse like that, unless you count the stuffed
one my sister gave me for
my birthday a few years
back. It still sits on my
shelf and hasn’t moved
at all.
Not that long ago I was
checking out a horse sale
listing and I saw him.
A little black gelding,
four white feet and some
white in his tail, and the
description said most
people could ride him.
Now not quite my dream
horse, but as close as I am
probably ever going to get
at this stage in my life.
I’d heard a few rumors
about the seller and that
his horses weren’t always
what they were cracked
up to be, but he’d had
lots of sales…people were
buying…it couldn’t be
that bad, right?
It didn’t take much to
convince to get The Other
Half to go to a horse sale.
The little black was near
the end of the sale. The
other horses were not
going too high, but most
of them cost more than I
was willing to pay. Finally the little black was in
the ring. I told The Other
Half how high to go and
told him he could do the
bidding. We got him!
We called The Son and
he and his family came
with the trailer to get my
little black. Once home,
two of the grandkids got
led around on him bareback, he was calm but
concerned, as he was in a
new place.
The next day The Other
Half rode him bareback
and did not too bad, until he saw our llama, but
The Other Half stayed on
and the little black settled down. Then in the
afternoon the little black
got saddled up, and The
Other Half and then The
Son rode him. He acted
up a little bit but overall,
was pretty good. Some
of the other horses were
saddled by this time, so
three of them decided to
take a turn around the
pasture.
The other horses got a
ahead of the little black,
and he got a bit excited
and tripped in the middle of his little dance
and went down on his
shoulder. The Son went
butt-over-tea-kettle, but
kept the lines in his hand
causing the little black to
go right on his side. They
both got up and went on
with the ride and all went
reasonably well.
I’ve been told now,
that I am not to ride my
almost dream horse…I
don’t bounce well.
We are hearing more
that we should never
have bought a horse from
that seller, but rumors
are that, just rumors.
The Daughter has been
riding him and we even
went for a short family
ride one evening, first
one in several years. The
Daughter hauled him to a
gymkhana just so he got
the experience and also
rode him on a trail ride
and he did really well. So
I think soon I am going
to get to ride my almost
dream horse. Maybe that
little black just prefers
a lady’s gentle hand to a
gentlemen’s firm one.
And hopefully the next
story isn’t about how well
I don’t bounce!

she refers to as ‘her’ razer and away

and mows the lawn. I just string some
white wire through the orange and
white pickets but I don’t put electricity to it and for the most part, it keeps
them inside where they belong. As I
was bringing them from their main
pasture into the temporary area Buggy (our nickname for her) was more
than anxious to bring the gator within
the confines of the fence to ‘play’ with
the horses. I warned her that she
had to give them time to get used to
the noisy motor and to be aware that
they maybe frightened by the green
machine. However, the little Fjord
proved me wrong by promptly heading directly to Buggy and her machine
and, with pony curiosity, explored the
gator and the girl! Next thing I knew,
the girl had abandoned the motorized
machine and was atop of the Fjord

he days are longer and the
sun is shining on the Village
of Innisfree.
Rain will brighten the land; let’s
hope enough will come soon.
Some of you may have seen a
kindly grandfatherly gentleman
with a “daper cap” playing with
“drones”. Do not worry, it’s only Ed.
Ed has started working on a short
video to show case our campground.
The Village Council feels this will
help promote more visitors to the
area. Also, have you seen the movie
Cut Bank yet? It also promotes the
village. The director’s comments on
the DVD speak about the Village
in a favorable light and I expect
people will again be dropping in to
see the Cut Bank Penguin and the
Sherriff’s Station.
People were very generous in
their donations to the Museum at
the “Last Supper.” Also there were
several who have indicated an interest in sitting on the Board of the
museum. Therefore the Prairie
Bank of Commerce Historical Society will reorganize Wednesday,
June 17, 2015 at 7 p.m. in the Village office. Everyone is welcome.
The museum will soon open to
visitors. Thank you goes out to the
good folks of Innisfree and area.

My Fjord’s name is Princess and for
a few brief minutes, we had a Princess riding on Princess! I love that
the Fjord is so quiet and the two of
them wandered around, Princess the
pony eating and Buggy the Princess
pretending she was Rapunzel with
her hair hanging down from the pony,
awaiting her Prince Charming; sometimes the Fairy tales get rearranged
to fit the scenario.
At last our Princess was taken from
me by her handsome daddy to go fishing, but my day didn’t end there. I had
been wanting to paint my front door
since I accidentally put a couple of
rocks through the window and dented the door last year and the dents
were starting to show rust, and the
bottom of the garage doors needed
touching up as well. With a paint can
and brush in hand, I set to work. Once
that job was finished and since the

have been busy fulfilling the directives given by Municipal Affairs.
These are very nearly completed.
Part of these directives included a
series of plans. We have developed
a Municipal SustainabilityPlan
with the assistance of village residents. Five areas were addressed
with objectives and activities to offer the present council and future
councils with planning direction
and goals.
A three-year business plan and
a three-year budget are being developed. Some of you came out for
input into the new land use bylaw. Our present land use bylaw
is now 17 years old and building
standards and expectations have
changed over the years. By doing
this now it should allow for future
development in an orderly, economical and beneficial manner.
The bylaw should promote and
protect the values of our community and the features our community wishes for our homes and
businesses.
If you would like to offer suggestions, the Project Planner would
be pleased to receive them. Drop
off your suggestions at the Village
Office
Thanks to Louise Bohaichuk for
leading the Community Kitchen.
We plan to reorganize in the fall.
Enjoy the summer and keep

brush and roller were already dirty,
I headed down under our deck and
painted the poles and steel supports
that were also in long-need of a good
coat of paint.
I went to check the garage doors
and discovered a tiny, nearly exhausted, hummingbird captive in the garage unable to find his way out. Using
the broom I tried to guide him out the
door when instead he landed on the
broom and I very carefully captured
him in my hand. He sat there very
quietly and, I believe, he was exhausted from the heat and trying to escape.
I took him out to the orchard and he
just sat in my hand resting for a few
minutes and then flew off to have a
drink from the feeder.
Like I said every now and again a
special Sunday falls into my lap....and
it was an awesome one.
Until next time, may a little bit of
happiness fly your way.

ville a shot. Event organizer and Medicine Hat resident Chris Humphries
said “I just wanted to give back to the
community that helped raise me.” Chris
was raised in Vegreville, and currently
races and organizes many races.
“Proceeds from this race go to the
local Vegreville KidSport. It has been
an honour working with Vegreville
KidSport, who provides financial as-
sistance for sports to kids under 18.”
Humphries said. “Every kid should get
a chance to participate in sports”.
This year the turnout of racers
was 73, which included a mother and
daughter duo who drove all the way
from Athabasca just to race the 5k. As
one little boy crossed the finished line
he was asked, how did you get so wet?
To which he threw his hands up in the
air and said, “There was a lake”. Well
there was no lake but a small dugout
that the participants had to work their
way through. Of course to tie in the
EGG theme, racers had to put a spoon
in their mouth and balance a raw egg
while running around the bases.
It was a great day for everyone involved and we are looking forward to
next year.

Mannville Historical Society Celebrates Early Settlers
he Mannville Historical Society held a hot dog lunch on Friday, June 12,
to celebrate early settlers to the area. A sign has recently been installed
in front of the museum along Highway 881 to honour the Boe family, who
were one of the first families to settle in the Mannville area.
The Boe family settled just north on the village in the late 1800s and members
of the family still reside there and operate the family farm today. Stan Boe shared
with those in attendance the stories his family told of moving to the area.
Pictured here is the second home of the Boe family
which was built in 1912-1913. It still stands today on the property
just north west of the Village of Manville.
Members of the Boe family were in attendance of the celebration and
posed for a photo in front of the commemorative sign.
They are, back row from left, Stanley Boe, John Boe, Janice Pidruchney
and Ralph Boe who still resides on the family farm north of Mannville.
Seated are Brenda Gordon and Laverne Gordon.

Family members of William McCauley, an early settler in the Manville
area, were in attendance of the Celebrating Early Settlers presentation
at the Mannville Historical Society grounds. Kevin McGrann donated
the numerous pieces of machinery on display at the museum, from the
family’s collection. Joan McGrann, whose parents homesteaded the area,
said she worked alongside her parents using many of the pieces on display. “My father would only let me drive the team of horses to help with
farm work, but I think I could have handled the four horse wagon,” said
McGrann. Pictured here is Kevin McGrann, Joan McGrann and Maureen
Ungarian posing with the family’s 1945 Massey Harrison 44 tractor.
