Town Hall has seen some of the most historic events in Drumheller and countless council meetings, but it’s time to move on. Th e Town of Drumheller is planning on moving its head-quarters to the Civic Centre, the building that currently houses the Drumheller Public Library. Before anything is fi nalized, however, the Town of Drum-heller wants residents to give their input. To that end, the Town of Drumheller is holding an infor-mation meeting on February 8 at 7:00 p.m in the Audio Visual Room at the Civic Centre. Th e architect, with the de-signs of the renovations in hand, town administration, and town council will be on hand to answer any questions residents may have. For the town, the move is a needed step. “It’s way past time. Since I started with council fi ve and a half years ago, every time I walk in there I think 'Oh my god, we are not handicap ac-cessible,'” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “You can’t even get to the main fl oor.” Moving to the Civic Centre would solve the accessibility problem as well as being more

energy effi cient and in the heart of Drumheller. Th e current Town Hall has been in use for decades, and that age is starting show. However, simply renovating the current building may not be practical. “It would take a signifi cant amount of work to bring it up to the standards that are needed. It’s a good building and should

be used, but I don’t think it’s right as a Town Hall in this day in age,” said Mayor Yemen. Th e cost of the project is esti-mated to be around $2 million. Th ere are a couple strategies being considered to pay for the renovations and move, such as applying for grants from the provincial government or shuffl ing town priorities. It is hoped that everything

would be complete by the fall. Residents who are con-cerned, interested, or have in-put on the project are encour-aged to attend the meeting on February 8. “Th e engineers, some ad-ministration, and Council will be there,” said Mayor Yemen. “If anyone has any concerns or comments that’s what we’re here for.”

The Drumheller Civic Centre, pictured here, is the planned home of the relocated Town Hall. The build-ing is currently occupied by the Drumheller Public Library, but once the library moves to the Badlands Community Facility, it is expected that the Civic Cen-

tre will be renovated to suit the needs of the Town of Drumheller. An information meeting will be held on February 8 at 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Centre for residents wishing to learn more or give their input.

After hosting fi ve success-ful Relay for Life events in the valley, the committee that or-

ganizes the event is looking for some fresh blood to bol-ster the event. Relay for Life began with a bang, and at its inception,

was one of the best perform-ing events in the province. By its fourth year it hit the million-dollar mark. Last year the event topped $40,000 with just seven teams. Th is year’s event is slated for June 8 at the Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society. Last year’s organizer Shari Christensen says the commit-tee is hoping for some new members to carry on the tra-dition. “Th e former committee is burnt out. We need an infl ux of new volunteers, that is for sure,” said Christensen. Christensen says that every-one has been touched by can-cer and for her, working on Relay was a great way to pay tribute. “It is great fun, and I loved it. Th ere is a lot of can-cer in my family, so for me it

was a great way to try and do my part,” said Christensen. If you are interested in volunteering to help put on this year’s Relay for Life, contact Christensen at 403-823-6739.

This year’s Relay for Life is slated for June 8 at the Drumheller Stam-pede and Ag Society Grounds. The organizing committee is looking for more volunteers to help stage the event.

Verdant Valley and Dorcas Women’s Institute to celebrate Centennial

This year is the 100th anniversary of when 10 women in the Ver-dant Valley area formed what would become the oldest branch of the Women’s Institute in Alberta. The Verdant Valley and Dorcas Wom-en’s Institute was founded on May 12, 1912, and has since been busy serving the community. To celebrate the occasion and to share information on its great history, the group has produced a calendar, which is available from members of the Institute. They are also plan-ning a celebration on the anniversary date at the Verdant Valley Com-munity Centre. Percy Poland (left), current president, and treasurer Holly Guterson show off the fi nished product.



Parents in the community will soon be able to get con-nected to what’s going on for their tiny tykes thanks to the eff orts of the Drumheller and Area Early Childhood Devel-opment (DECD) Coalition. Th e recently formed DECD Coalition and has received a grant from Alberta Education to promote education for kids in kindergarten and younger. Th e DECD Coalition is in the process of assessing the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of children from birth to fi ve years old through a survey. Greentree and St. Anthony’s Schools both participated. Michelle Hiscox, Early Childhood Development Co-ordinator, explained that while the results of the survey are still a month from being com-plete, the DECD Coalition has already begun work on the next step to identify the ser-vices available in Drumheller, Delia, and Carbon. “Th e goal is to fi nd what we have and don’t have, and then build on what we don’t. I’ll be going around the com-munity to the diff erent service providers and fi nd out what’s available, from counselling to physical activity,” said Hiscox. Th e DECD Board and vol-unteers will then be presented with the information and will determine ways to address the identifi ed needs. “Some areas we could look at are counselling and social development. I think there’s always room to increase ac-cess. Th at’s one of the things we’d like to do, is build on that and possibly do some fund-raising to address the areas where we fi nd need,” said His-cox. To get the information out to parents the plan is to create a resource book. “One of the things that’s missing, that the project will do, is give parents a resource base. We’ll be putting togeth-er a book on what’s available, who does it, and how to con-tact them so parents have an easy access,” said Hiscox. Another initiative will be creating a children’s fair to showcase the services that are available for parents in the area. “What we want to do is showcase service providers in Drumheller who can assist kids with development. We’ll have it open and accessible during hours when parents are available,” said Hiscox. Th e DECD Coalition be-lieves that early childhood development sets the course for a child’s future and deter-

mines how well children will do in school, their physical and mental heath, behaviour, relationships, and well-being. Members of the commu-nity, from service providers, parents, educators, and busi-nesses, are a part of the DECD Coalition.

“With everybody working in a partnership, with the com-munity to support it, I think that’s how it’ll be successful,” said Hiscox. “I think it’s really important, because as a par-ent I wasn’t completely aware of all we have in Drumheller. I am aware of a few gaps in services, but if the community comes together it’s going to be a huge benefi t for all the kids in our community.” Th e next meeting of the DECD Coalition is today at 2:00 p.m. in the Civic Centre Audio Visual Room, but His-cox welcomes inquiries from service providers or parents anytime. “Parents are a big part of the equation,” said Hiscox. “We need their support and input to fi nd out what needs to be done.”

"First Grader"The true story of an 84 year-old Kenyan villager and ex Mau Mau freedom fi ghter who fi ghts for

his right to go to school for the fi rst time to get the education he could never afford.


Th e date is set, registra-tions have closed, and ven-ues have been booked. In less than two months the valley will be fi lled with music. Th is will be the 72nd year for the Drumheller and District Music Festival. Th e event runs from March 12 in venues throughout the valley, and concludes with its fi nal concert on March 23 at Greentree School.

Th e festival showcases a wide array of disciplines including piano, band, in-strumental, dance, musical theater, vocal, choir and speech. Th ousands of young Drumhellerites have par-ticipated in the music fes-tival over its illustrious his-tory, and many have gone on to successful careers in their disciplines.

Names such as Jaydee Bixby, David Schumacher and Rob Shapiro come to mind as examples of past performers who have gone on to success in the music industry. Th e next crop of performers may have that same talent and drive to succeed. Registrations closed on January 12, and the com-mittee has already con-fi rmed a talented slate of adjudicators who will en-courage and mentor each performer in their craft. Performers are rewarded with trophies, scholarships and the opportunity to go on to provincial music fes-tival competitions. Doug Wade of the orga-nizing committee says they could always use more vol-unteers, both on the com-mittee and during the festi-

val to manage venues. Th e committee meets the sec-ond Tuesday of the month at the Civic Centre. For more information, contact President Lynn Ed-wards at 403-823-7483.

The Drumheller and Dis-trict Music Festival starts March 12 and will con-clude on with the fi nal performance March 23 at Greentree School.

When the Cenotaph is dedicated this coming spring, there will be four more names added to the Honour Roll of men from Drumheller who fought and died for freedom. Th e Drumheller Cenotaph was moved to its new place of prominence in front of the Badlands Community Facility last fall in time for Remembrance Day Ceremo-nies. Th e Legion is planning a ceremony to rededicate the newly refurbished Cenotaph, and through the work of a local history buff , four more names will be added. In fact, they are hoping to have some of the remaining family members of the addi-tions attend the ceremony. Reg Bennett has completed an extensive Honour Roll of Drumheller community members who served Cana-da. In fact, he has completed the project for a number of Alberta communities and presents them to the local Legion Branches or librar-ies. Th rough his research he has come across names that were not known at the time the Cenotaph was erected,

including the son of one of Drumheller’s founding fa-thers. Reginald Greentree, son of Th omas Patrick Greentree served in World War II with the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals. He died on Decem-ber 16, 1944 at the age of 32 and is buried in a Canadian War Cemetery in Belgium. According to the Hills of Home, Reginald was born in 1912 and left the valley after 1926 and went with his fa-ther to Grande Prairie. It is not known where he enlisted, but his name does appear on a memorial plaque in the Onaping Falls Legion in On-tario. He left behind his wife and one child. Another name that Bennett came across was Lieutenant Charles Alain Chisnall who served in World War I. He was the youngest of three and was born in 1888 in Es-sex, England. At the time he joined up, he was a farmer and enlisted in Rosedale, Alberta. He served with 2 Squadron RFC/RAF. He died on May 28, 1919 at Ripon Military Hospital and is bur-ied at Ripon Cemetery, Eng-land.

“I found him by accident when I was working on Mor-rin or Munson,” said Bennett. Another name is James Charles Preisig. Th e son of Cecil and Irene of Rosedale, he served with the Royal Ca-nadian Electrical and Me-chanical Engineers. One hint Bennett received of Preisig’s service was from a letter pub-lished in Th e Forty-Niner, the offi cial publication of the 49th Battalion the Loyal Ed-monton Regiment, in 1948. “In a letter from Mrs. Pe-terson, she informs us her son Frank was attending the last session of the Alberta University, but unfortunately sickness did not allow of our visiting him. Her daughter, Sigrid, was married on April 3, and we wish her the very best for the future. Th ey see 'Slim' Preisig frequently as he lives at Rosedale, and you will all be sorry to know he lost his only son, May 28, 1946. He had served overseas in the army, and developed a severe illness in Holland. Our be-lated sympathy is hereby ex-tended to Slim and his fam-ily.” He was just 25, and was buried in Drumheller. “His dad was the fi rst care-taker of the Rosedale School, and apparently he built the fi rst skating rink, outside of the creek in Rosedale,” said Bennett. Another interesting tale comes with the service of Pri-vate George Hill Brown. He didn’t die on the battlefi elds of Europe, but in the mines of East Coulee. Private Brown was born in Cumbria, England, and resid-ed in Bienfait, Saskatchewan and was working as a miner when he enlisted in Regina in late 1941. After he joined up he was

put into Active Service not in the trenches, but the mines. Because of the strategic sig-nifi cance of the coal industry during wartime, his service was in mining. On January 4, 1944, Brown was a driver in the Atlas Coal Mine, East Coulee. He slipped under a coal car and fractured his pelvis. He died two days later from internal injuries. He was 38. Bennett has been looking in to fi nding surviving members of these four families. He has made contact with Green-tree’s great granddaughter, who lives in Grande Prairie. Bennett said she is planning on contacting other members of the family to come for the ceremony. Th e dedication will take place on June 6. If anyone has a contact for any of the above families, they can contact Bennett at 403-334-1141.

Th e moment valley residents have been waiting for is a little closer. Th e Town of Drumhell-er will start moving into the fi eld house and fi tness centre of the Badlands Community Facility on February 6. Dawson Wallace, the con-tractors, are tantalizingly close to completing, cleaning, and vacating the fi eld house and fi tness areas. Afterwards, the town and contractors will have joint occupancy and the town can start moving in.

Th e senior staff of the facility will bring over equipment and furniture that has been in stor-age at public works. Everything will be inventoried, assembled, and organized. Th e contractors will still be in other parts of the building. As areas are completed, the facility staff will move every-thing in. “On the sixth of February we get the fi eld house and fi t-ness centre. Th e next two ar-eas that will probably be done are the lobby and the library. After that, the meeting rooms

and dining hall. Th e kitchen is going to be the last thing fi n-ished,” said Guy Latour, Busi-ness Manager of the facility. Th e week after the joint oc-cupancy date, the remaining staff arrive and begin training. “Th ere’s a lot of training to do because we’re all new to it,” said Latour. Prior to opening, the staff must be well versed in cus-tomer service, point of sale, fi t-ness and sporting equipment, emergency procedures, and the particulars of each area of the diverse building. Apple Fitness will return

later in February to set up the fi tness equipment. As opening day draws near, plans are being made to show-case what the facility can off er. Ideas being considered are of-fering tours to sports leagues who have expressed interest in using the fi eld house and having an open house, com-plete with activities and tours. A volunteer program is in the works as well. More information about the facility events and programs will be released in February. Th e news of joint occupancy comes as a relief, because of

the Sports Recreation and Arts Expo and Canadian Badlands conference planned at the fa-cility in March. It is expected that at the current pace the events will continue in the fa-cility as planned. Th e news generates the same excitement and anticipation a new homeowner feels when awaiting their possession date. “Th e joint occupancy was a big thing for us, because it’s indicating that we’re close,” said Latour. “It’s got me super excited. I’m ready to move ev-erything over there myself!”

BREAK

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, refl ect on happy times and then try to recreate that feeling when you are experiencing mo-ments of stress this week. This might offer some welcome relief.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, a confl ict of interest leads you on a wild goose chase to fi nd something that everyone will agree upon. Opinions are strong so don't expect this to be easy.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, success takes lots of hard work and you need to recognize you can't please everyone. But it is a good goal to work toward for the next few days.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Rethink your plan of attack, Can-cer. While the idea has merit, there are some big gaps between ideas that can lead to too much confu-sion. Go back to the drawing board.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, step back from a diffi cult situ-ation and you will get a better idea of the bigger picture. Things are not as important as you once believed. Time for fun arrives on Thursday.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, shopping strictly for the best bargain might not be the best ap-proach. The deal actually could be too good to be true. Factor in all the information.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Sometimes you don't think before you speak, Libra. Avoid blurting out the fi rst thing that comes to mind. Friends and family may forgive you, but coworkers might not.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Big plans are in the works that will require your supreme organiza-tional skills, Scorpio. Others actu-ally look to you to plan all of their events because of your talents.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, baiting someone into an argument seems to be your modus operandi this week. This is certainly no way to win favors with anyone. Think this tactic through.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, save some time for ro-mance and relaxation. A special someone could be feeling neglect-ed lately and will need some quiet time with you.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Accept help graciously, Aquarius. Such help is not always easily of-fered. There will be a few hectic moments this week, but otherwise the next few days will be calm.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a remarkable insight comes to you and you cannot contain your elation over it. Spread the word ... fast!

Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can ap-pear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!Sponsored by

I have no idea what “smart money” means, but I do know what “smart people” means. It means heart balanced with brains, passion merged with reason—like the people who work at ATB. Smart people coming together is where real creative solutions come from. Seriously, it’s who we look for, because it’s exactly what Alberta needs. If you’re one—or you want your banking handled by one—drop me a line.

What could be better than being declared the Alberta Junior Hockey League cham-pion? How about being the West-ern Canadian Champion? Or even the National Junior A Champion? Th e Canadian Junior Hockey League, an umbrella that includes junior hockey leagues from across Canada, announced on January 16 the creation of new play-off s that will include the top teams from British Colum-bia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Th e champions of each provincial league will join a selected host team and com-pete for the honour of be-

ing the Western Canadian Champions. Th e tourna-ment will include a round-robin schedule followed by two semifi nal games and a championship game. Th e champion and the runner-up would then repre-sent Western Canada at the RBC Cup National Junior A Championship. “Congratulations to the four western leagues on this signifi cant step in the growth of Junior A hockey in West-ern Canada and across the country,” said CJHL Chair-man Kirk Lamb. “Th e new championship format will create a tremendous oppor-tunity to showcase our play-ers, teams and communities and is yet another example of the strengthening relation-

ship among Junior A leagues in Canada. I commend the four western leagues on partnering together in the development of this initia-tive.” Th e tournament will start in 2013 and will be hosted in Nanaimo, B.C. It won’t be until 2015 that the tourna-ment will come to Alberta. For example, should the Drumheller Dragons win the AJHL championship, they would go on to compete for the Western Canadian Championship and could go on be declared the National Junior A Champions. Cheer the Dragons hard and Drumheller could reign over Canada as hockey champions.

Sam Lawson sends a bullet of a shot at the net in the Dragons game against the St. Albert Steel on January 21. A new playoff tournament for all of the Western Canadian Junior A hockey leagues has implica-tions for the Dragons. Should the Dragons be champions of the AJHL, they would start down a road that could lead them to play for the top prize of the National Junior A Hockey Championship.

It’s been a busy two weeks for the various Raptor teams. Th e teams had a hard sched-ule and many are poised to make some serious headway into their respective playoff s. Th e DMHA Raptors have been dominating their tier. Against Chestermere on Janu-ary 14 they won by a lopsid-ed 14-2 and 9-3 the next day against a strong Siksika team.

River on January 14 and tie-ing Indus on January 15. Th e game against Indus was espe-cially heartbreaking. A poten-tial game winning goal for the Raptors in the dying seconds was declared void, because the net had been knocked free. Th e Encana Atom Rap-tors had a huge weekend two weeks ago. On January 14 the team played Carstairs and handed them their fi rst loss of the season. Th e next day the team tied a challenging Nan-ton team, who are currently one of the top teams in the league.

“It was a really good and im-portant weekend. We beat the team that hadn’t been beaten,” said head coach Jason Ewing. Th e win and tie sets up the Encana Raptors for a good spot in the playoff s, especially

with an easier schedule ahead. Th e Hi-Way 9 Pee Wee Rap-tors participated in a tourna-ment in Standard on January 14 to 15. After fi ghting their
