Brandon Hegedus’ has hand-built a tribute to the 1962 Ferrari 156 “Sharknose” race car in his Airdrie garage in the last five years. With no original Ferrari 156s in existence, and little details to work with Hegedus focused in on photographs and crumbs of information he could find about Ferrari 156 chassis number three, driven by Ricardo Rodriguez in April 1962. Despite having five other builds under his belt prior to taking on the Ferrari-inspired creation, the 37-year-old carpenter-by-trade stretched his skills on this ride. This car is a buffet of details. We’ll give some insights about a few of them, and you’ll have to flag Hegedus down at a car show to learn more. Learn more about the car in our Summer 2019 article here, and follow Hegedus’ adventure on Instagram at @howisthatstreetlegal. Despite his handle, this build is not street legal, but he does permit it and haul it to shows, and hopes to test it out on a track. The airdrielife podcast is hosted by Britton Ledingham.

*These interviews are from late January and early February 2021. Some information has changed since. The Airdrie Medical Clinic has adapted quickly since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The local group of health professionals have led thousands of patients through unease and disease over the last year. Today in the airdrielife podcast, journalist Britton Ledingham speaks with Airdrie Medical Clinic’s Dr. Mindy Gautama, Dr. Tammy McKnight, Dr. Neil Rehill and medical office assistant, Miranda Schmidt, who are all thankful for the support of their peers in house and beyond during this hard time.  The message from these health care professionals is one of hope and resiliency, as well as being kind to one another as we head into what is hopefully the final months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Jake Neighbours is Airdrie’s newest NHL draftee. When Neighbours was selected 26th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2020 NHL Draft on October 6, he and the other draftees did so in the comfort of their own homes. Yes, COVID-19 has thrown off a lot of best-laid plans, including the NHL Draft, which was cancelled in Montreal in June and made into a global live stream in the fall. That meant Neighbours was home on the couch surrounded by family in Airdrie when his name was called by Blues’ GM Doug Armstrong. This is the airdrielife podcast, hosted by Britton Ledingham.

Just a couple of kilometres north of where the blacktop ends on 24th Avenue Northwest of Airdrie is a group of students getting back to their roots. Led by teachers Matt Chomistek and Mark Turner, 40 students learn their core subjects with a twist. The ingenuity of the educational venture known as The Farm, a product of Rocky View Schools Community Learning Centre, is rejuvenating the homestead property. Chickens feed in a coop built by the students metres from two Atco trailers where the Grades 9-11 students are engaged in schoolwork.

Lona Bronee and her husband, Matt, are pioneering paraphernalia for cannabis. From their store, Two Hoot on Main, they are selling their own dabbing pens, pipes, vape pens, e-nails, rolling machines and a variety of items from other suppliers. I, Britton Ledingham, apologize if I get any terminology wrong. Cannabis is legal in Canada. Please don’t take my narcotic naivety as a judgement against weed or those who partake for medicinal or recreational reasons. Thanks! Women are at the helm of three Airdrie cannabis shops, forging their brands and driving their operations. Since cannabis became legal in 2018, Airdrie was inundated with applications for cannabis and cannabis related shops. As of our press date back in March, Airdrie is home to 11 such shops. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re rooting for small businesses in Airdrie to survive. As I (Britton Ledingham) am recording this, it’s April 11. I’m working from home, but that’s not unusual. What is unusual is how COVID-19 has caused disruption to businesses and routines. As of this recording, these businesses are still open, although have modified hours and procedures according to their social media. This is the airdrielife podcast.

Coming from a conservative family where cannabis was frowned upon, familiar to my own, Genny Guenther didn’t expect her path to cross with marijuana. The Strain Lane owner’s marijuana journey began when she had a painful pelvic disease coupled with endometriosis, which ended her 15-year career as a rock singer. She became an advocate for the plant that was part of the treatment that changed her life. Women are at the helm of three Airdrie cannabis shops, forging their brands and driving their operations.

Vanessa Bellegarde is a sweet-but-fiery role model to all who set foot in the Airdrie Martial Arts Centre. Last summer, after a busy day of running a kids’ camp for her Lil Dragons program, Bellegarde sat down for an interview in the upstairs boxing ring in the gym owned by her and her husband, Luis Cofre.

Peewee Storm football coach Nolan Rohl is exceedingly dedicated to coaching football, something he’s been doing since he was 15 when he first followed his older brother Tyrell onto the bench. Fast forward 20 years, and the duo are still passionately coaching the Airdrie Storm peewee football program. Nolan head coaches almost year round to give kids from seven to 12 years old an opportunity in the sport he loves, and doesn’t plan on stopping for 30 more years. The Rohl brothers were also on staff for Team Alberta during the Alberta B.C. Bowl for bantams on May 25, 2019 in Kelowna. In the second part of the interview, I caught up with Nolan on the phone after the ABC Bowl last spring. Led by head coach Jermaine Brown, the roster of about 50 players had 11 suited up from Airdrie to beat B.C. 42-33. They came back from a two-score deficit twice. He gives some game review and a lot of valuable nods to local athletes you parents will love to hear.
