Vote for hamlet in

CBC contest

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Th e Hamlet of Rosebud is a diverse community, rife with ac-tors, musicians, artists and pho-tographers. It is only fi tting it is a fi nalist in CBC’s Cultureville 2011. Rosebud is one of six fi nalists in Alberta and three in Southern Alberta. CBC announced the fi nalists on August 16. Th e competition celebrates the cultural diversity of Alberta and is being held in conjunction with Alberta Arts Days and the 75th anniversary of the CBC. “It’s great news,” said Bob Da-vis executive director of Rosebud Centre of the Arts. “Rosebud will be profi led, along with the other two communities … to help gen-erate interest in arts.” Davis explained the CBC made a call out to Alberta communities

to submit nominations. Rosebud Centre of the Arts made a sub-mission along with a number of other Rosebud community mem-bers. “Th ere was at least two or three others who submitted,” said Da-vis. Rosebud was virtually a ghost town when LaVerne Erickson be-gan summer camps with youth in the early 1970’s. Th is eventu-ally became the Rosebud School of the Arts and Rosebud Th eatre. Around this, not just the school, but a whole arts community blossomed. Today there are gal-leries and museums just a stone’s throw in either direction down-town. Music emanates as a number of performing artists call the hamlet home. Many burgeon-ing artists full of creativity have launched from Rosebud and have continued onto a bigger stage. Th is year, Rosebud Th eatre opened its expanded Mercantile Centre with an expanded gift shop, restaurant, meeting and

convention space. “I think it is a refl ection of a body of work. Over the years Rosebud has worked hard to establish itself as an arts com-munity, and to be nominated for this consideration is a real feath-er in the cap of everybody who contributes,” said Davis. “It is a combination of many talents that make a community standout in the eyes of Cultureville judges.” Rosebud is in the top three in the 403 calling area. In Southern Alberta it was nominated along with Red Deer, focusing on “Th e Hub,” which has grown from an activity centre for adults with developmental disabilities, and become a cultural centre for Red Deer. Tsuu Tina Nation was also nominated from Southern Al-berta, recognizing its year round cultural events, celebrating and sharing its culture. “As one of Canada’s largest cultural institutions, CBC is ab-solutely thrilled to be showcas-

ing hidden cultural gems from throughout the province during our 75th anniversary year,” said Steve Glassman, Executive Pro-ducer of Cultureville. “I encour-age Albertans to show their pride by voting for the community that they feel best refl ects Alberta’s cultural spirit.” Now it is the public’s turn to weigh in on the conversation. Residents can vote for where they believe Cultureville Alberta is, starting on September 6, by going to www.cbc.ca/calgary, or www.cbc.ca/edmonton. Each nominated community will be profi led on CBC Radio One’s Calgary Eye Opener at 99.1 FM, or 1010 AM in Calgary, and on Edmonton AM at 3939 FM or 740 AM. Th ere will also be a special broadcast on September 29 as a part of Alberta Arts Days Celebrations. Voting is open from Septem-ber 6 to September 16.

The Hamlet of Rosebud has been nominated in CBC’s Cultureville 2011, as part of CBC’s 75th anniversary and Alberta’s Arts Day. Starting September 6, the public can vote for what they feel is Cultureville 2011 at www.cbc.ca/calgary, or www.cbc.ca/edmonton.

EditorThe Drumheller Mail

Dear Editor

I have recently received a let-ter in reference to the operation of bicycles within our commu-nity. Th e letter identifi es poor operation of this mode of trans-portation and questions the lev-el of enforcement of the Traffi c safety Act. First of all I would like to in-form people that the Traffi c Safety Act applies to bicycles in the same manner as Motor vehicles. Th e operators are re-quired to obey what is know as the rules of the road. Th e op-erator is to obey all road signs, ride on the right side of the road, etc. If under 16 years of age, it is mandatory that the op-erator wear a helmet. Eff ective Sept 1st, 2011, it will be against the law to use a cell phone while operating a bicycle. Many of the youths operat-ing bikes are not obeying these rules or do not know they are to obey them. Many of these cy-clists are of an age that a ticket cannot be issued. Many adults or young adults are operating their bikes in a manner that is contrary to these laws while in the presence of younger riders, thereby setting a poor example. Many parents are not adequate-ly supervising their children’s use of bikes, or setting down any rules of operation/ expecta-

tions. Peace offi cers at various levels are not eff ectively enforc-ing these off ences for a wide va-riety of reasons. Various levels of supervision are leaving it to others to provide the correc-tion. Legislation associated to bi-cycles was made to modify behavior in order to improve safety. Each year there are al-ways unfortunate encounters between bikes and motorized vehicles. My observations show that the bicyclist usually loses during any collision whether they are in the right or wrong. Fortunately, we have been lucky that none of these encounters have been serious to date. Th e Drumheller Detachment has tried a number of things to try to correct behavior in lieu of prosecution, but not enough change has been observed. I ask that all parents have discus-sions with their children about the operation of bicycles, and why the laws must be obeyed. I ask all bicyclists pay attention to the manner in which they ride their bikes keeping in mind that others are watching. As I stated earlier we have been lucky so far. It would / will be a sad day when this luck comes to an end. Just think, it could be your child or possibly even you that may be the un-fortunate one if this unwanted and unnecessary behavior is not changed. I am thankful to receive the letter from our community member as it shows caring and concern for others. Lets ev-eryone play their role and make this a safer and more caring community. S/Sgt.A.A.HOPKINSNCO i/c Drumheller Det.

Savvy business partners

(l-r) Sylvia Lin, Kayla Chan and Tenille Sykes were looking into cash-ing in on the hot weather with an iced tea sale on Wednesday after-noon. The business partners were set up on Newcastle Drive with fresh cool iced tea for passersby.



Th e foreclosure process for lands once a part of the Drumheller Ski Hill is taking the next step, and shortly the property will be up for sale by the courts. In February of this year Community Futures Big Country fi led an Affi davit of Default and a judge made a Redemption Order declaring the mortgage on a portion of the property that makes up the Drumheller Ski Hill lands, valid and enforceable. Th is portion is at the base of the hill, up to the fi rst lift post and the ski lodge. It is co-owned by the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. When the action was insti-gated, Community Futures was owed about $63,000 on the property. Six months later, on August 17, the redemption period, which would allow a party to satisfy the mortgage, has expired. Th is means the next step is the lands can be off ered for sale by the courts. “Our hope is that it is pur-chased by a community mind-ed group,” said Jordan Webber of Community Futures. Th e land will now be up for sale through the courts for 90 days through sealed tender. Webber says there is no ask-ing price, rather, the court deems what is an acceptable return for fair market value. He says Community Futures is able to recommend what is agreeable. Webber explains the fore-closure process was necessary to allow the land to be sold without encumbrances such as lawsuits and writs. If the land is sold, the debt to Community Futures has priority and will be satisfi ed fi rst. If there are remaining funds available, other liabili-ties will be satisfi ed.

Th ey are rioting in London, or at least they were. I haven’t been getting my paper, so I am ignorant of the situation at present. I never did really hear what was the cause of all the chaos and destruction. I guess that it depends somewhat on your source of information as to whether society is at fault, or if it’s merely stupid, senseless, mob mentality. Looking at the extent of destruction, and at those behind it, you would almost have to say that this is a societal problem, and so it is, in that society created the perpetrators. In the Calgary Sun of last Th ursday, I came upon a column written by Michael Coren. Yes, yes, the Sun is what some call right wing, and that Michael Coren is of the same ilk. In this instance, however, Mr. Coren has credibility, as the rioting erupted not far from where he was born, and spent his teenage years; he knows of what he speaks. It is an area of eco-nomic depression with a unique demographic. Mr. Coren eschews politi-cal correctness when stating that the majority of the rioters and looters were black, unfortunately, so were many of the victims. As in most things of this sort, usually those protesting have a legiti-mate cause, and are for the most part, everyday citizens. However, it does not take too much for a hooligan, or thug element to penetrate, and take advantage of ready-made crowd. Th e herd mentality is infectious and pretty soon your crowd has become a mob and your peaceful protest, an angry riot. Where there is economic distress, things can happen much faster , as in parts of London. Going back to the beginning, whose fault is it, society or a mindless, senseless number of thugs? I will give you Michael Coren’s take on it and then you can decide for yourself. he refers to these destroy-whatever-you-can thugs as the off spring of broken families, of men who cannot, will not control their appetite for fathering children with numerous women. Th rough their formative years they are told to despise authority, education and religion, and to rely on the state. He describes them as tat-tooed gargoyles raised on antisocial entertainment, instant gratifi cation, socialist dogma and empty materialism. Th ere you have it. So, who do you blame for all the rioting, society or the tattooed gargoyles? Personally, I blame society and its institutions. Poor education, removing religion, promoting socialism and reliance on the state, all contribute to a dumb, inconsiderate, lazy populace that re-spects not itself, nor anyone else, or anyone else’s property.- Poor education system brings everyone down to the lowest common denominator- Removing God from society leads to an uncaring, materialistic, empty society.- Nothing can impoverish a nation, and weaken a people more quickly than can socialism - it rates a close second to removing God.- You rely on the state for everything and soon the state is running your life, and owning your possessions. You see, we create our own tattooed gargoyles.


RCMP say parents need to be aware of suspicious, unwanted behaviour in and around places where children play. Th is comes after RCMP learned of a person observed taking pictures of children at the Splash Park. Th e incident was not reported at the time. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins says because Drumheller is a tourist destination, many unknown people are passing through the community, in-cluding the water park. Most of the people taking pictures of their family playing are le-gitimate and are simply docu-menting their holiday experi-ence. Some may not be. “We have others who are taking the pictures for other purposes or having contact

with children for other pur-poses,” said Hopkins. “Th e world is not as safe as it once was, and we have many people who conduct them-selves inappropriately around children or others.” He said that many people who have a record of criminal activity of this nature have re-strictions to not attend places where children frequent. “Some of these persons at-tend to other communities in order to continue their ac-tions while hiding their identi-ties,” he said. “Should you be at one of these sites and observe some-one acting in what you believe is a strange manner, please report it to the police. Let the police determine if the behav-ior is appropriate or not.” He provides a list of behav-iors that may help a parent

determine out of the ordinary behavior. Th is may include a person, possibly sitting off in the distance observing, or taking pictures of children but not having any present, or taking numerous pictures of diff erent children who have no connection to him or her at the park. It is also important to be wary of a person making contact with a child, such as communicating and asking inappropriate questions, tak-ing unrelated children to the bathroom or any other physi-cal contact with an unrelated child. “Th ere are many things that could be mentioned as suspi-cious. If you observe an action that you feel is strange, out of place, or inappropriate give us a call,” said Hopkins.

Parents need to be wary of suspicious behavior, says RCMP

Worth a second lookAbout nine years ago, Bouke Kraaikamp went to an auction near De-lia and looked at a 1951 Fargo pick-up. It was left in the fi eld and in typical fashion, all the windows were knocked out, sitting on fl at bias ply tires. He looked at it again, and saw that its driver’s side door was in great condition and would fi t his 1948 Dodge. He looked at it again, and paid $25 for the truck and brought it home. He looked at it again, and saw that it was all-original with a numbers matching fl at head six engine. He looked again, and while the body was rusty, it didn’t have any holes. Since then, he has been slowly piecing the truck back together, all the while using it as his daily driver. He has put in another engine, but kept the original, and is having fun fi nding and fi xing as he goes. He is especially fascinated with collecting all the options offered for the Canadian made pick-up. These were often installed at the dealerships instead of the factory, and he has found a number of hard to fi nd accessories including a rear pumper, a radio, cigar lighter, electric wipers and a visor. One intriguing option he has installed is a Fluid Drive. This essentially is a fl uid coupling, much like a torque converter, mounted instead of a fl ywheel. It was meshed to a three-speed transmission and clutch. With this set up, a driver can engage the transmission, let out the clutch and not move until the accelerator is applied. The truck can even stop and start in second gear without clutching.

Shout Outs

Lori Coultes

The Weekender

Angler’s of all ages are pre-paring their lures in anticipa-tion of hooking the biggest fi sh in the Michichi Reservoir.

Th e Ryan Savary 17th An-nual Memorial Derby starts Saturday, August 27th at 7 am. Registration is open until 11 am and the derby closes at 4 pm. Ryan Savary passed away in 1993. His best friend, Greg St. Laurent, started this annual fi shing derby 17 years ago in memory of his Ryan. For 14 years Greg organized the event until Ryan’s father Alex and his sister Katrine Stone took over. “My brother and his best

RAsteroid

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water.

About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossil-ized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area.

The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district.

It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves

in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.

Today, the Town of Drumheller relies on agriculture, gov-ernment services, oil and gas, and tourism for its economic prosperity.

Over the last thir-teen years, my ac-counting practice in Drumheller has pro-vided me with the op-portunity to connect with a wide variety of individuals through my client base, other professionals, boards I volunteer with and my staff . People re-ally are this province’s most valuable re-source. Presently, Trevor Gough Professional Corporation employs one other Certifi ed General Accountant, six accounting tech-

nicians and a recep-tionist. It is due, in part, to these fantas-tic employees that I have been able to

take time to train for and fulfi ll one of my dreams - climbing Machu Picchu in Peru as part of Alberta Ar-thritis Society’s Joints in Motion fundraising project. In addition to the usual data processing service using either Simply Accounting or Quickbooks pro-grams, my offi ce pro-vides personal and corporate tax prepa-ration and fi ling, along with compila-tion, review and audit engagements. We see more than numbers.

As fall approaches, I would like to re-mind all proprietors of small businesses or farms that the cost of doing an estimate of your current year’s taxable income can actually save you money. By preparing, through necessary purchases or Regis-tered Retirement Sav-ings Plan contribu-tions, you can reduce your income tax due next April. You can also contribute instal-ments towards your personal tax if you know you need to pay more. Don’t wait, plan now. Remember…it’s not what you earn, it’s what you keep.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, just when you think you've had enough, the waters recede and the path is clear. All it takes is a little deterination and a lot of patience to get there.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21There are no easy answers this week, Taurus. That is why you will just have to be diligent in your own quest to fi nd the best solutions.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, a small disagreement at work eventually will lead to a bigger disaster than you had imagined. You may have to have another party in-tervene to work things out.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cut someone close to you a little slack, Cancer. This person has been extremely distracted and isn't able to devote all of his or her attention to the task at hand.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23No matter what you do, you can't seem to lose this week, Leo. Call it a lucky streak or the stars aligned in your favor. Whatever the case, let the good times roll.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, when a family member comes to you for advice, snide remarks won't suffi ce. This person really needs assistance and trusts you to have an open mind on the situation.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, now that you've tackled some of the bigger tasks that were on your agenda, you can focus on hav-ing more down time for enjoyment. Spend it with friends.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, when the going gets tough, you just have to get tougher. Now is not the time to admit defeat. Buckle down and get the job done. You will be happy you stuck it out.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you're only fooling your-self if you think you can keep up with all the secrets and still get others to trust you. Others may be humoring you. It's time to confess.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, just when it seems like your luck won't change for the best you have a stroke of good fortune. The best part is the luck will last for a while.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, when you are not able to tackle a problem, it's alright to call in a professional to help you solve it. Not everyone is an expert in every subject.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, there's no time like the pres-ent to simply do something nice for a friend or family member. Go on and bring a smile to someone's face.

Dozens of community groups, and agencies received a boost Wednesday morning as the Co-op Till Tape Pro-gram dispersed its semi-an-nual payouts. Th e Till Tape program has been in existence since 2000, and in that time it has paid out $216,956 to community groups who rely on fundrais-ing to support their programs. Th ese range from sports clubs and service groups to agencies such as the Salvation Army that uses the funds to bolster the food bank. Bev Krabsen of the Drum-heller Health Centre picked up a cheque to purchase equipment for the Palliative Care Unit, and Marcel Au-gey picked up funding for the Drumheller and District Se-niors Association to be used for activities for seniors. Th e Verdant Valley and Dorcas Women’s Institute spread their funds to a number of agencies including the local food bank, DARTS and the Mustard Seed. Alex Jaff ray was on hand on behalf of the Hesketh-Orkney 4-H Beef Club, which uses the funds for its programming.

Th is go around, the Co-op dispersed $13, 685. Th e program is simple. Community groups col-lect Co-op till tape receipts

and submit them back to the Co-op. In turn, it pays a per-centage of the total of the till tapes back to the community groups.

On Wednesday, August 17 community groups re-ceived more than $13,000 through the Drumheller

Co-op Till Tape program. To date the program has dispersed more than $200,000 to the community.

Curtis Lautermilch and Pat Rehill are maintaining their concentration as they prepare to arm wrestle at the World Police and Fire Games in New York starting on Friday, Au-gust 26, 2011. Th e two became friends 12 years ago at the Drumhell-er Correctional Institution, where they both work as cor-rectional offi cers. Pat Rehill earned the sil-ver and bronze medals at the Worlds, giving him the pres-tigious title of 2nd. He also

achieved the title of National Champion three times. Rehill knew Curtis had the potential to be a arm wrestler. Not long after introducing Curtis to the sport, and soon after they started training to-gether, they entered competi-tions. Th e World Police and Fire Games takes place this year in New York and will run 11 days starting on August 26 through September 5, 2011. Approximately 20,000 full time fi re and law enforcement personnel from 70 diff er-ent countries are expected to compete in 69 sports. “It's bigger than the Olym-pics.” Rehill said. Lautermilch and Rehill will be arm wrestling at the games in New York while represent-ing the Correctional Institu-tion and the Town of Drum-heller. Th ey have had great sup-port from family, friends and co-workers. A fund raiser was hosted recently at the Correc-tional Institution to help raise money to pay for their trip. “We had a barbecue and raf-fl ed off a TV. We raised $1,800 and Steve Dumont donated $500 which gave us at least $2,300 and really helped us out,” said Lautermilch. Two years ago both men competed in each of their weight classes at the 2009 World Police and Fire games

held in Vancouver. Both men stood on the podium and re-ceived gold medals in their events. Since the Vancouver compe-tition, Lautermilch and Rehill have been training in prepara-tion of the next World Police and Fire Games, by working out 3-4 times a week. Th ere are an array of tech-niques and styles and mental preparation that helps con-tribute to ones success in arm wrestling. Rehill has been arm wres-tling for 28 years and with his experience he has designed a training program that helps prepare for the various wres-tling competitions they enter. “It's not just muscle strength. A lot of it is technique and fo-cus, it's full body.” Rehill told inSide Drumheller. Th e wrestling competition in New York starts with the lightest class and is a one-day event. “You don't know how many will be competing until you arrive but you know it’s going to be a long day,” replied Re-hill. Th e World Police and Fire Games coincide with the 10 year anniversary of the Sep-tember 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Organiz-ers are expecting this year's games to be a very memorable event for everyone.

Hard work pays off. Displaying their gold medals from the 2009 Van-couver World Police and Fire Games are l-r: Pat Rehill, Curtis Lauter-milch and Berine Walker. inSide photo by Lori Coultes

Well Holy Slug Bait: It must be all the rain but my

yard is over run with these things and I am not

impressed. They are even eating the weeds! I have

never had them so bad that I was able to see so

many during the day time hours. Usually you only

see the telltale signs of them being present with

the silvery thread of slim left behind as they crawl

across the sidewalk. So I have gone on a search for

the cure, and of course there are lots of suggested

things to try.

We have all heard of the beer treatment, which

means you put beer in a shallow lid, pie plate etc.

and place it in the ground so the lip of the plate

is at ground level. The slugs love beer so in they

go and they drown before they can crawl out the

other side. Slug bait traps of all sizes and shapes are

available that all work in their own right. The slugs

do come to them, but I have always wondered

how many more we’re calling into the yard with

these bait traps?

Straight table salt sprinkled on them does them in

but not sure you can keep doing this time and time

again and still grow plants. There’s also a mixture

of 1 ½ cups of each ammonia and water with 2

tablespoons of Murphy’s Oil Soap - this sounds like

it may be a bit strong. Also a mixture of 4 to 1 of

water and ammonia or weaker. An accomplished

Hosta grower uses this and sprays his plants down

once a week and has no damage from the slugs, I

think I will try this one as he should know a little bit

about what works and what doesn’t. If it’s raining

a lot you may have to apply it more often. The

slugs don’t like the smell of the ammonia and the

plants like the nitrogen.

Copper tape or wire laid around the plants like a

collar or wrapped around the trunk of a tree will

apparently keep these critters at bay. Supposedly

they get an electrical shock when they try and

cross the copper barrier. I have never looked for

this so I am not sure what is available out there. This

may work for the area where you are not having to

work it up every year or weed every week. There is

also the tried and true method of hand picking (of

which I won’t do) so strap on your fl ash lights and

go slug picking in the dark. Sounds like a mean

initiation trick to me. These are a few of the no

chemical cures that would appeal to folks with a

real strong environmental view.

There are some more aggressive things out there

but again, how available they are I am not sure.

Apparently there are chemicals. One is Measural,

another is Lutefi sk which you can’t get unless you

know someone that grows ginseng root because

they can apparently still get it and it’s deadly stuff .

So if anyone does have a contact, please let me

be your friend. Anyway I hope I have given you a

few new tricks to try and I wish you luck with the

ongoing battle.
