Local explores the wonderful world of gourmet cakes
After getting addicted to gourmet cake shows on the Food Net-
work, Valemount resident Laura Johnson decided that she too, could make creative, and sometimes cra-zy, cakes for herself, her family and her friends.
Johnson said she has been dab-bling in cake construction for a long time, but really started getting into the culinary art when she retired from the Unit Chief position at the local BC Ambulance station about a year ago. “Retiring gave me more time for family and more time for my cake hobby, and I am totally ad-dicted to it now. Every single cake I have done has brought out a new challenge.”
Not only does Johnson’s passion drive her to create intricate deco-
rations, almost all of which are ed-ible, but she has also been trying out different cake fl avours as well. “I love the challenge. Regular cakes are fi ne but I like the challenge of something new. Trying things that aren’t supposed to work but they turn out anyway. I always thought that if I can do it anyone can do it because I have no formal training.”
So far, Johnson said her cakes have been a hit, which has made her kitchen very busy lately. “I have been making cakes for various events and occasions. I have done about 20 in the last little while for birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, wedding receptions and retirement parties.”
The cake is a sacred part of any event, Johnson said; so it follows that a special, custom cake made from scratch with high quality in-gredients will always leave a lasting
impression. “The tradition of a cake is important. If you don’t have a cake at a special event there’s some-thing missing. The cake needs to be perfect. It has to meet the theme and the expectations of the occa-sion.”
For Johnson, she said her hobby has opened up a whole new world of creative food creation. Each cake she has made seems to be getting more and more intricate, and her fl avour combinations have grown exponentially. “Food is universal. It’s a language, like music. You can share food, you can share creativity, and you can share the passion. You can reach people with food. For me it’s all about new taste experiences.”
And she is not shy in sharing her knowledge and experience with others either. Johnson welcomes anyone who wants to talk cakes to giver her a call at 250-566-9154.

One of the men working on the Trans Alta Bone Creek Hydro
construction project was airlifted to Kamloops last week after a work-place incident occurred.
Tanis Fiss, Corporate and Mar-keting Communications represen-tative for Trans Alta, said that the incident occurred on Thursday
morning, after which the site was shut down for the rest of the day. “Of course Trans Alta’s hearts and minds are with the worker and his family at this time. Trans Alta vol-untarily halted work on the proj-ect facility yesterday and the site was secured. We are working with Worksafe BC and they were on site yesterday doing an investigation, and have since released the site back to operations but they will
still be conducting their review.” So far, Fiss said they don’t know
what happened exactly, but they are conducting an investigation into the matter. “Once that investi-gation is done then we can release the findings.”
Fortunately, Fiss said that the worker is on the road to recovery, and was awake in the hospital on Friday. Some work resumed on the project on Friday.

Hopefully you’re reading this story in the recently returned sunshine, but the smoke last week set
some records in terms of poor air quality. An unprecedented blanket of smoke covered the
Robson Valley, and most parts of the Province, last week, causing some of the worst air quality read-ings in Prince George and the Robson Valley ever. Air Quality Meteorologist for the Ministry of En-vironment, Dennis Fudge, said that although the readings from the Valemount and McBride areas are not recorded in a way that allows air quality adviso-ries to be put in place, it is almost certain that we experienced the similar levels of particulates in our
air. “We issue air quality advisories when the pm2.5 (small ones) particulate levels get above 25 micro-grams per cubic metre as a daily average. Thursday night it peaked at about 200 for a 24-hour average and Friday morning it was 180. This is the highest number we have ever recorded. Our previous high was 66 in 2004, so we’re way over that one.”
The poor air had an effect on a lot of residents, and Northern Health (NH) said they did see a slight increase in people seeking medical attention across the North, but for most healthy adults it caused ir-ritation of the eyes and throat; irritation that will go away when the smoke lifts. “Some people may be more sensitive to the wood smoke that is in the air than others,” said NH Communications Officer, Eryn Collins. “Some people may experience compli-
cations when other people can tolerate it. Our medi-cal health officers are keeping in touch with emer-gency departments and clinics where we know there are smoke issues and so far they have not seen any major spike in people seeking treatment. It’s a gen-erally expected increase so far.”
The best steps to take during smoke events like this, said Collins, are to reduce your activity and time spent outside. “It’s not the best time of year to reduce your activity outside but if you notice that if you are outside and you are being affected you should reduce your activity. Move yourself to where there is less smoke concentrations in the air, try to be in an environment that is relatively smoke free, somewhere with either air conditioning or central air filtering.”

McBride’s newest member of the local
RCMP detachment of-ficially started his post-ing on July 8, however, Corporal Barry Kennedy didn’t commence work until a little over a week after that. “I was escort-ing winners at the Cal-gary Stampede in red serge on a black horse,” said Cpl. Kennedy, add-ing he has done Mount-ed Riding at the Calgary Stampede since 2001.
Cpl. Kennedy’s in-volvement with the RCMP’s black horses is a long-standing one. “I was a member of the Musical Ride from 1997 to 2001,” said Cpl. Ken-nedy, who has been with the force for 21 years. “I applied for seven years. The seventh year I got to go to the basic equita-tion course. You get one
try. There are twelve new riders every year. They take twelve out of 24 ap-plicants.”
During his time with the Musical Ride, Cpl. Kennedy had four mounts, three geldings - Chancy, Badger and Edit - as well as a mare named Inky. He said before his time with the Musi-cal Ride, he had a lim-ited horse background, but his family bred and trained heavy horses and thoroughbred harness horses in Ontario.
While Cpl. Kennedy enjoyed his time with the Musical Ride, he said travelling eight months out of the year was tiring. “I loved the show and working with people, but the travelling wore thin very quickly. I told people it is the best job in the force and I’d never do it again. I still miss doing the show though.”
Cpl. Kennedy moved
to McBride from Gold-en, B.C., where he was posted for the past six and a half years. Before that, he was promoted to Golden from Vernon. Before his posting in Ver-non, Cpl. Kennedy was in the Musical Ride, and before that in North Van-couver, his first posting. “It was a good place to start out and learn,” he said.
Cpl. Kennedy said he picked McBride for his next posting for vari-ous reasons. “I wanted a rural community with a hospital, I wanted to be within two hours of a major centre, and I wanted to be the detach-ment commander,” he said. “I like small-town policing.”
Cpl. Kennedy said a Sergeant in Golden, Troy Duran, recommended McBride to him. “He had previously been posted in McBride. He told me
to take the posting in McBride as it was his favourite posting. I like McBride and the peo-ple here have been very good. The small town that I was hoping for is what it is.”
Kennedy lives in Mc-Bride with his girlfriend, who likes it here as well. Also, Kennedy’s two kids are staying with him for the summer and enjoy being here.
Cpl. Kennedy enjoys hockey and has done a lot of referring for junior hockey and major junior hockey (Western Hock-ey League). He also likes the outdoors and camp-ing. “I look forward to staying here. It is a three-year posting, but maybe I can extend,” he said.
Cpl. Kennedy is re-placing Corporal Chad Zummack, who was transferred to Prince George this spring.

Dear Editor;
It would be interesting to know why the 50 km signs are still up at either far end of Mountain View Road, even though no working crew or equipment is
there.One has to ask oneself is LDM mad at the residents for daring to register
complaints about the gravel being left on a long time and is punishing them? Or has the LDM crew forgotten all about their signs and neglected to remove them?
It would also be interesting to know the name of the BC Ministry of High-ways employee who is extremely rude to anyone who dares to call regarding the matter of Mountain View Road. She seems to be under the impression she owns the Ministry instead of being aware she works for the taxpayer and gets paid to answer the phone in a civil manner.

For the love of patiosDear Editor;
My affinity for outdoor cafes and garden patios goes a very long way back. The sounds, scents and feelings of romance captured by the street cafes
in the Europe of l972 has remained with me.Since that initial sweet ‘taste’ I seek outdoor cafes and patios when explor-
ing. The garden patio is my favourite place of retreat during travel. While en-joying the active or passive companionship of fellow guests it feels natural, the air fresh and the food tastes better outdoors. This atmosphere is condu-cive to feeling still, contemplative and it fans my creative embers.
With a coffee, some paper and pen, a comfortable chair in the midst of the intoxicating scent of flowers, hundreds of letters (and the occasional poem) have been composed by this hand.
To my great delight a wonderful little garden patio has recently appeared at the Gathering Tree on Fifth Avenue. All the elements of the perfect patio café are evolving. I love it!

Pure sweet spring water, welling through the ground.Bird song is the music, the only living sound.Then we see her coming with a pail, towards the spring.Her little daughter walks behind, and hears her mother sing.
What could be a sweeter sound, than this Mother’s song.Blending with the bird song as they walk along.Down the trail they made their way, through the tall green grass.With their little footsteps swishing, ever lightly as they pass.
“Will I get the water now,” the wee girl asks her mother.“You will indeed sweetheart, this water’s like no other.”Gently then she dips the cup, and gives it to her daughter.The little girl drinks deeply then, of the cold spring water.
“Is this the living water from Jesus’ special spring”?Asked the little girl____ cause mom knew everything.“Can you feel it sweetheart, this little living flood?As it goes down your throat, and mixes with your blood.”
“I think I feel it Mother, I think I feel it now.”And holding out her pretty dress, she made a little bow.Mother filled her pail, then she took the cup again,And drank the clear cold water as she stood in the lane.
“I’m sure it’s Jesus’ living water,” the Mother said to her,For it nourishes the body and effects for us a cure.It keeps welling up to life, from within the ground.It bubbles and it splashes this spring that Grandpa found.
Then mother took the pail of water and the child carried the cup,As they started on the homeward path, both were looking up.Behind them sweet spring water welled up through the ground.And bird song was the music, the only living sound.

It’s been about two years in the making, but the giant building
across the tracks in Valemount is fi-nally ready to open.
Long time Valemount resident, Henry Unger, said his vision of The Trading Post is an ambitious one, but one that could help bring peo-ple together and attract visitors on a weekly basis.
The majority of the 5,000 square foot building will house IRLY hard-ware supplies. IRLY, which stand for Independent Retail Lumber Yards, is a group of independent hardware and building material retailers. It is 100% Canadian owned and oper-ated, and has been around since 1963. Unger said he researched a number of hardware supply chains, and chose IRLY because of its focus on local business. “There are over 140,000 items I can order from, and each dealer is also an owner of the company.”
The hardware component of the store will include everything you need, said Unger. He will have a lumber yard, a hardware section,
bathroom fixtures, lighting, and if he doesn’t have it in stock he can or-der it. “I’ll be open in the morning and will stay open until people stop coming. If anyone needs anything after hours they can call me.”
There is also a section of the building Unger is setting aside for local crafters and artisans. It al-ready has a few items in it, as well as a massive display of some of Margaret McKirdy’s famous sculp-tures, however they are not for sale. “Anyone is welcome to display their items. I’ll take 10% for expenses and if they don’t sell I don’t charge, so they won’t go broke and I won’t go broke.”
He also has a space for his own wood work, and an upstairs portion that can be used as a dance studio or classroom, he said. “I also have a platform outside and I will make a bandstand for musicians to play. I would like to have a flea market here on the weekends. It would be a great place to meet and visit, as well as buy some local products.”
Unger has been in the construc-tion business since he was 14, he said, and has applied his trade all over the country. “At 14 I started my
apprenticeship and at 18 I had my papers. I travelled around to learn more and I worked in factories and then I went to Montreal, Winnipeg and then came to Drayton Valley and lived there for 28 years.” Un-ger came to Valemount in 1988, and made roof trusses and sup-plied the town with trusses and metal roofing as well as working on various projects. He said that one day, his suppliers told him they couldn’t supply him anymore, due to a request from a larger com-pany, which is why he decided to start his own store. “I got fed up and started thinking. No one would buy this lot so I decided to open my own supply store.”
The Trading Post will be open sometime next week, said Unger, and he will develop his hours as the customers start coming. To contact the hardware section of The Trading Post, call 250-566-0007. For the crafter’s section of the store, the number is 250-566-0088, and to contact Unger after hours, customers can call 250-566-4070. “They can call me in the middle of the night if they need to. I will look after them.”
Come on down to The Trading Post
Evan Hodson, Karren Coleman, Eric Hodson and Henry Unger take a break from setting up the soon to be open store on Main Street in Valemount.

Shirley and Mazen Haymour have retired from city work and the city to bring Middle Eastern cui-
sine to Valemount. The Edmonton couple said they bought four acres in Tete Jaune and moved there last May. Since then, they have “totally gutted” the site formerly known as L&W Pizza, in the Karas strip mall. The ex-pizza shop, which also sold Donairs, will now be a Donair shop, featuring Middle Eastern and fast food, fittingly titled, “Diamond H Donairs,” referring first to the Diamond cut out design on the fence the Haymours built on Tete Jaune road, and second a big H for the Haymours! If everything goes well, they plan to be open in the first or second week of September.
Diamond H Donairs will be a dine in or dine out experience, and eventually they hope to be able to offer delivery within town limits. Apart from Donairs, they will be offering hot dogs, hamburgers, Middle Eastern cuisine items including but not limited to Tabouli and Falafel, and dessert such as ice cream and potentially even Baklava. Expect authentic dish-es, as they will be using many secret family recipes.
Mazen, who left Lebanon when he was 18 years-old, has learnt the business from family members with Middle Eastern restaurants, and his wife Shirley has spent the last 30 years practicing cooking. Over the Edmonton Heritage Days, she perfected her technique when she helped their family in making over 2,000 Falafels.
Like many Albertans, the Haymours found the gems that are Tete Jaune and Valemount when Ma-zen was snowmobiling here. Like most, he fell in love with the mountains.
Though the couple has much to do before they open, such as find a room to rent in town, they do plan to be open 7 days a week, from 11:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m. tentatively. They will likely order supplies through Fire & Ice out of Jasper, and shop at A&G Foods in McBride. If you have any other questions, the phone number at Diamond H Donairs, is 250-566-4453, ask for Mazen or Shirley.

After a summer of weekly golf sessions, the Vale-mount Pines Golf and RV Park hosted 26 partici-
pants for their annual Junior Golf Summer Program wind-up on August 17th, 2010.
“It’s really great to see the program is growing,” said Peter Kolida, organizer and head instructor of the program. Registration and warm-up began at 5:00 pm on a sunny Tuesday, August 17, and the old-er golfers started their round shortly after.
Instructor Jeff Wood supervised the younger golf-ers while they warmed-up with their driving, chip-ping and putting at the practice facility. “It’s fantas-tic to see all the kids having fun and improving each
week,” said Wood.Instructor Owen Torgerson met with them after to
present them with their groupings and to give last minute instructions to volunteers. “We were over-whelmed by support from parents and other vol-unteers. They were able to supervise the younger golfers during their round of golf by keeping track of scores and general safety,” said Torgerson. Ages of the participants ranged from 7-16, which covered all three youth golf groups: cadets, juveniles and ju-niors.
Kolida and Torgerson headed out onto the course to see how the golfers and supervisors were mak-ing out while Wood prepared for the many incoming orders for hot dogs and cheeseburgers back at the clubhouse. The young golfers enjoyed their round and many smiles were had while sharing stories of their golfing heroics and the munching down of their meals.
A group photo was taken with all the golfers, vol-unteers and instructors. Although the program is set-up for fun and instruction, congratulations goes out to golfer Jake Clancy as he completed his nine-hole round by shooting a 40. Wood presented the golfers with their medallions and certificates while Torgerson presented the golfers with the other many prizes provided by local businesses.
The evening ended with a huge round of applause from the kids thanking their coaches and parents for a wonderful day of golf. “Without a great prac-
tice facility, golf course, volunteers, donations and most of all, outstanding kids, a program like this cannot exist,” said Kolida.

The smoke that hung in the Robson Valley last week may have been un-avoidable, but it did get people talking about air quality in general again. The ongoing conversa-tion, which for now has been the task of two sep-arate committees of the council of Valemount, was brought up to the Region-al District level at their regularly scheduled meet-ing on August 19.
In a letter to the Region-al District, the Village of
Valemount requested the Regional District strike a Regional Air Quality Com-mittee. The request came after Valemount and sur-rounding areas have been faced with dust issues from Kinbasket Lake, and general air quality issues caused by wood smoke and idling truck emis-sions. The Village request-ed the Regional District take the lead, as the air quality issues extend be-yond the borders of one municipality.
Valemount Mayor, Bob Smith, called in immedi-ately following the meet-
ing to let us know that the directors voted to accept the letter, and to have staff examine the issue and bring back a report for the board’s consideration. “It was very positively re-ceived. The Village would still be involved in the committee, but having the Regional District on board would give us more administrative support and would most likely have more pull with the Province.”
Air Quality Meteorolo-gist with the Ministry of Environment, Dennis Fudge, said that seeing
as Valemount has such a low population, a larger committee might be more effective. “The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you could get support from Council and the Re-gional District we might be able to put something there.” Fudge said that there is a company in Dawson Creek that has two pieces of monitoring equipment just sitting on the shelf, so he suggests the politicians contact them and see if they could make a deal with them, if they are not going to be used.

It was standing room only this weekend at the Jasper Heritage
Rodeo. Part of the Canadian Pro-fessional Rodeo Association, Jas-per’s Pro Rodeo is a non-profit event, and has been happening for 20-25 years, but the original ama-teur rodeo was first introduced back in 1927. The annual four-day event kicked off Wednesday night, and finished Saturday night with a good ol’ fashioned hoe down dance.
While there were no Robson Val-ley residents participating in most of the events, Dunster resident Marc Lavigne participated in the
Leonard Jeck Memorial Packhorse Race. There was also at least one international rider from New Zea-land.
Jasper is the only Rodeo in Can-ada to take place within a National Park. Also unique to Jasper is their collector’s item, trophy buckles. They are the only buckles to have permission to bear the National Parks of Canada Beaver, but if you want one you have to win.
The Jasper Rodeo extended their sympathy to the community of Valemount, and family and friends of the rider that was killed in the bull-riding event in Valemount this year. As per professional regula-tions, at the Jasper Rodeo, there is 100% paramedic and veterinary
coverage, if they are called out, the rodeo stops.
Gail and Don Lonsberry have been involved with the Rodeo for many years, and would like to let Valley residents know they are wel-come to get involved in any capac-ity, be it as spectators, participants, volunteers or sponsors. As in all events of this scope, Gail stressed that there is no way it could happen without the 150-200 volunteers as well as countless sponsors. If you would like to get involved next year you can contact Don at 780-852-3788. So mark the 3rd weekend in August on your calendar, and look forward to the Jasper Heritage Ro-deo.
Jasper rodeo fun for the whole family

The mural outside of the Valemount Chil-dren’s Activity Centre was completed last week. Artists Pam Cinnamon and Bonnie Marklund (far left) were contracted to paint the murals, which was paid for by a $1,600 grant from the Columbia Basin Trust. Supervisor Lotte Rauter said the theme was chosen to reflect the Valley’s wildlife, and the children are having a great time identifying the different animals on the wall. The main reason for the mural project, however, was to dampen the blinding sun as it reflects off the white walls.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, a little luck and a whole lot of hard work will get you the prize you desire. Expect this week to be a lesson in determination. But take the time for a little fun, too.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21
Taurus, gather all the facts before making an important decision. The answer you are seeking is a little further away than you may have thought.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
Gemini, look before you leap because the water may be more shallow than you thought. That means you have to give more consideration to your choices this week.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, there’s not much you touch this week that won’t work to your advantage. Enjoy your string of good fortune and accomplish every thing that needs to get done.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23
Leo, familial obligations take you away from other things that you want to get done. But stay focused and remember there will be time for fun later.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, instead of projecting negative energy, start thinking in a positive way and things may turn around for you. Thursday proves to be a tumultuous day.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23
Someone close to you may need a little extra affection this week, Libra. That’s because he or she is going through a rough spot. You will know what to say to calm nerves.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, you can’t help but jump to conclusions and get your feathers ruffled. But it’s better to get all of the details sorted out so that you can look at the facts.
SAGITTARIUS-Nov 23/Dec21
Sagittarius, you may not have the right words but you certainly get your point across when someone asks for your opinion on financial matters. Stand by your advice this week.
CAPRICORN- Dec 22/Jan 20
Things that seem insurmountable are much more manageable than you first thought, Capricorn. It’s all about the angle at which you look at things.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, your initial perception may not be correct. It’s important to trust your instincts, but it’s also good to get all the information you need.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, it will take a little time for you to get the bounce back in your step. Once you do, you’ll be back to normal.

Corporal Trevor Prosser, Constable Simon Bentley and Corporal Barry Kennedy were all smiles at the fi rst annual Cops for Cancer golf tournament Fundraiser held on August 19th, 2010 at the Valemount Pines golf course. A good number of community members took part in the event, which was meant to raise money for Corporal Prosser’s campaign, which will see him riding from September 9-16 between Prince George to Prince Rupert. The day began at the Valemount Pines, and ended at the Elementary School where partici-pants enjoyed a barbecued lunch and prizes.
