Mike's Grocery 6507-112 Avenue NW Mike's store will be closed at the beginning of April. The grocery store has been in this location for almost twenty years and was operated by Mike An effort to interview Mike was refused in the politest of fashions. Mike had also declined an offer earlier to wrote a story on him and his store. Over the years Mike has offered that convenience when you run out of milk or sugar or need that candy bar to satisfy an craving. All the times I have been in the store Mike has been polite and attentive to my needs. In late March I was able to learn from Mike that he knew of no new tenants as of that date. The community hopes that a new store will soon open. We shall be |

Olio d'Oliva...Allie Korpesio 6509- 112 Avnue NW, 780-705-4007 Try a taste of Italy in the Highlands In case you didn’t know, the business district on 112 Avenue got a little bit tastier in the last few months…... Wadii Bouzemmi and his family opened Olio d’Oliva in the location formerly occupied by Creole Envie. A dedicated pizza oven has been ordered, and the restaurant will also offer pasta and couscous. Mr. Bouzemmi, an engineer, helped put himself through school by working in Greek and Italian kitchens. Bouzemmi moved to Canada to be closer to his brother, and a third brother will be coming to Canada in the next few months. Olio d’Oliva is a true family business run by all three Bouzemmi brothers. Along with pasta and couscous dishes, they also serve pizza made in a real pizza oven. They are open seven days a week and delivery service to the surrounding neighbourhoods. On the day of the interview, I was sent home with a giant plate of seven vegetable couscous with lamb, brika (fried tuna, spices, and egg) and a salad consisting of tomato, cucumber, onion, olives, and dried mint. To say that the husband and I were in a glorious food coma is an understatement. Everything we sampled was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and my husband would have eaten the ceramic plates if it meant he got every last particle of food. Make sure to visit soon. |

780-477-2422 It seems the norm these days that in order to get the story on a new business in the Highlands and Bellevue one has to clamber over or under construction material. .. I did this visiting Bacon for the first time .. .Julianna Mimande emerged from the scene to tell me about her new restaurant! Several weeks later she was able to add some more information: With her business partner Cindy Lazarenko Bacon will be operated as a bistro serving lunch, brunch, dinner and take-out. The cuisine is also locally inspired, so they have chosen to buy as much produce and meat from local farmers as possible. The partners aim to provide a fresher and lighter menu using these products while maintaining some elements of their grandma's cooking. Their food is also a convenient and healthy take-out alternative as there is less fat in their cooking and less waste in the packaging. The take-out packaging is environmentally friendly as it is made of corn plastic; they also value recycling and other socially conscious business practices. Julianna urges those living in the area to support the neighbourhood unique and local businesses; to promote community cohesiveness, and to get products that are homemade and from local farmers and are available closer to home. Further, to Julianna has had her home in Montrose for 5 years. She has worked in many restaurants from the time she was 14 working as the dessert girl at Bullwinkle's. She has also organized many community events such as art shows and craft fairs. She is a constant supporter of local initiatives and just loves food and wine. Cindy is a very new member of the Highlands and has also worked extensively in the food industry. She ran her own catering company called "Mise En Place" as well as created the TV dinners at "Culina" restaurant in Edmonton. Both like the Highlands and Bellevue because it has character and charm and community involvement. It is one of the last communities to maintain and support a small business district run by 'moms and pops'. Julianna and Cindy .... welcome to the Neighbourhood!! |

HIGHLANDS YOGA ROOM Kyra Kubrak Highlands Yoga Room 6513 - 112 Avenue Kyra tells us: The Highlands Yoga Room is a cozy studio in the heart of historic Highlands. It is a safe space where yoga practitioners of all levels and experiences are welcome. Early mornings to evenings. Weekdays and weekends, our studio is the place to be. Not only do we have a wide variety of classes and times, we have great teachers too. Our schedule is chock full of yoga goodness! We have classes, workshops and times to suit almost everyone. It was not hard to pick the Highlands as it is a great neighbourhood with growing potential. There was no yoga studio in the immediate area to serve the communities of Highlands, Bellevue, Virginia Park and Beverly. Kyra Kubrak Note from Tidridge: Kyra wondered why she had to scroll so far on the website. Ouch! Made me think and I am now in the process of splitting the 112 Avenue file into designated blocks e.g. 112 AVENUE- 64-65 Streets. I have made some changes and they work. Easier than I thought. 118 Avenue to follow. Thanks Kyra 2019-11-27 |

Julie's Day Spa ......by Allie Korpesio 6515 112 Avenue NW. 780-7650-1772 Award winner brings her knowledge to Highlands She’s glowing! That was my first impression upon meeting Julie Budge. A petite, vibrant woman with a clear passion for helping people feel beautiful in their skin, Julie and I sat down to discuss the new spa/salon/boutique business at 6515 112Ave. Julie is the owner/operator of Julie’s Day Spa (next door to Brian Mason.) Julie met husband , Mike, a Highlands resident, while vacationing in Hawaii. Originally from California, Julie moved to Canada in 2011, married Mike, got a standard poodle named Sean Connery, and fell head over heels for Highlands. The owner of Julie’s Skin Spa in Modesto, California, Julie has earned numerous accolades as well as the #1 spot from the Reader’s Choice Awards three years in a row. With over 28 years caring for skin, Julie has a firm understanding of what each individual needs. Using only Dermalogica products, made in Southern California, Julie has also attended training in both the US and Canada. Noticing the vast difference between the California climate and the Edmonton climate, Julie is making sure each client receives the customized skin care they need. Specializing in anti-aging treatments, icrodermabrasion, chemical peels, acne facials and teen facials, the day spa will also feature a salon with a hairdresser on staff, skin care specialists, a massage therapist, an aesthetician (for manicures and pedicures and waxing) as well as eyelash extensions , and eyelash and eyebrow tinting. If all of that isn’t enough to get you in the door, Julie also designs and makes custom jewellery using Swarovski Crystals, sterling silver and precious stones. Julie was wearing a necklace she designed and made, and it was nothing less than stunning. I’m told the Day Spa will also carry scarves and candles. A quick peek into the space, loving remodelled by both Julie and Mike, confirm it is inviting and relaxing and will most assuredly be an asset to the 112 Ave business corridor. Julie is also offering a 25% discount to ALL residents of Highlands and Bellevue on their first service |
Eye Masters Family Eye Care Store hours: Monday to Friday 10 A.M.-7 P.M. Saturday 11.30 A.M. - 5 P.M. After being pressured by large companies to get their glasses in an hour or whatever, it was pleasing to see the opening, in March, of Eye Masters Family Eye Care at 6515-112 Avenue. In April I dropped into the store and chatted with the owner Ahmed Hatoum a personable young man. I learned that this is the third store opened by the family, the other two being in Camrose. Eye Masters offers top quality eyeglasses and contact lenses at competitive prices. Highly qualified persons conduct eye examinations. Ahmed offers courteous, personal and professional service, in an establishment where the customer comes first. Single, living in Edmonton, Ahmed was educated at NAIT and the University of Alberta. He also took courses at Concordia, just up the road from his store. He admits that before opening his store he did not know much about the Highlands or Bellevue!! He first considered this site, in part, because a friend, who wondered what could be done with the vacant store, owns it. Over dinner, the possibility of opening an Eye Masters store was discussed. A careful study of was conducted of the surrounding area and it was decided because the distance between this store and any other Highlands as a community has grown on Ahmed, he indicated that the area seems like a small town. (Howard, you may have to up grade your village idea! i). He liked the friendliness of the people and the wide economic backgrounds present in the greater area of Highlands and Bellevue. In my brief encounter with Ahmed I found him to be professional, courteous, and (important when dealing with us golden oldies), patient,. yet another reason to pop in for a visit (as if you needed one). The,store is bright and pleasantly set out. Pay Ahmed a visit'!

A spokesperson for Edmonton police said no formal complaint has been made about the vandalism, but that an investigator reached out to Irwin's office about possible next steps. The message was cleaned up by midday Saturday, and Irwin thanked a constituent for coming to help her. She also thanked others who had expressed support. Irwin, who was elected in 2019, is known for being outspoken against social injustices. Irwin is also the only openly gay MLA sitting in the Alberta Legislature. Antifa is short for anti-fascist, and can refer to a range of organizations that oppose fascism. Premier Jason Kenney condemned the vandalism on Twitter, tweeting that many other MLA offices have been vandalized in recent months.
Messages of support are seen taped to the front door of NDP MLA Janis Irwin's constituency office, 6519 112 Ave., in Edmonton, Saturday Feb. 27, 2021. The office was vandalized over the weekend with "Antifa" and "Liar" painted in large red letters on the front window. PHOTO BY DAVID BLOOM /Postmedia |

Diabetic Dee Likes 6519 112 Avenue 780-478-5854 What do 'Dick Barton Special Agent', a former City detective, a John Constable print, Dolores and Patricia, and loads and loads of candies have in common? Nothing really that makes any sense; but read on! On December 31, 2003 I visited Diabetic Dee Likes and met Dolores Kotyk and Patricia Barton the operators of this delightful addition to the Highlands area and in particular to the shopping area around 112 Avenue and 65 Street. It was here that I learned Diabetic Dee Likes is operated by Dolores Kotyk, married to Robin, with three adult children, and Patricia Barton married to Ronald, also with three adult children. Both have sparkling personalities, by this I mean they have a retail attitude, which is Their store is unique to Edmonton, carrying all sugar free products that are diabetic friendly. The store is very warm and cosy, has good looking furniture, very well laid out and invites one to stay!! Both the ladies live in Clareview, Dolores is an Edmontonian, as is Patricia only difference is, Patricia originally came from England. Highlands is attractive to them because of its mature neighbourhood and friendliness. Dolores and Patricia intend to work and cooperate with all the other businesses in the area to make this area even more friendly and attractive to others. So Highlanders and Bellvueites(?) pay a visit to Diabetic Dee Likes, and meet Dolores and Patricia. You'll be glad that you did. Oh, yes, what are the candies like ... you'll just have to drop in and taste! |

On October 29, 2012 this email was received by John Tidridge: Rosemarie, although no longer living in the Highlands is still one through parental ties. HI John My dad sent me a link – very interesting to read about the old stompin’ grounds. Wasn’t Saurette’s there in the early 1976-1984 range already? 2009 does not seem right? I got a perm done at the hair salon in fall of 1976 in preparation for my graduation photos, and I thought it was Saurette’s then, but maybe it was the Beauty Parlor still – can’t recall exactly. I (changed) hairdressers for a while after receiving that perm (it wasn’t a great perm….) but later I recall coming when it was Saurette’s and let them cut my hair again in the 1983-1984 years I think, in the years before I met and eventually married my husband. I had moved to the south-side as my parents were in Ottawa for a 4 year period, but did come back for haircuts if I can recall. Not sure exactly, but it might be safe to say Saurette’s was there prior to 1984. It’s amazing how hard it is to remember these things. Rosemarie Stalker Of course, Rosemarie is correct in her comments… and the page has been corrected. More work may have to done! JT
