To think just last Friday, June 4, the sun was so bright that some visitors from Saskatchewan (left) couldn't hold a pose because of the bright shining sun.

Police are investigating a brazen midday robbery at the Mountain View Credit Union in Carbon. Over the noon hour, on Wednesday, June 9, Drum-heller RCMP received the call of a robbery at the Credit Union on Glengarry Avenue in downtown Car-bon. A lone male suspect, wearing a dark coloured hooded sweatshirt and jeans, entered the branch and demanded money. He was given an undisclosed amount of funds by staff, and left the building on foot. Police continue to investi-gate.

Police are asking that if anyone has information on this incident to contact the Drumheller RCMP Detach-ment at 403-823-7590, or if

they wish to remain anony-mous and possibly qualify for a cash reward to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Low numbers at facility tender openingO.r Sheddy | Mail editor

Surprisingly low tender figures were the result of the tender document opening at Town Council Chambers Wednesday afternoon.

Shortly after 2 p.m., town CAO Ray Romanetz opened the tenders, along with project architect David Ed-munds.

“The tender results are very favourable compared to the cost estimates for the project," said CAO Roma-netz.As previously reported in The Drumheller Mail, nine tenders were received for the Badlands Community Facility, a multi-use build-ing that is the first phase in a two-phase project.

Original estimates for the project ranged between $23 million to $24 million, and tender amounts listed below came in considerably lower than those estimates.

The tenders are now be-ing scrutinized by the town’s staff, project managers, and the architectural firm, to ensure that all information contained in the bids is cor-rect and in line with the ten-der information.

Tender amounts in order

of lowest to highest are as follows:• Dawson Wallace Con-

struction $13,725,000• Byrd Construction

$14,074,000• Dominion Construction

$14,149,000• CANA Construction

$14,444,000• Ledcor Construction

$14,537,000• Lear Construction Man-

agement $14,698,800• Keller Construction

$14,895,379• Westcor Construction

$14,920,000

• Clark Builders $14,987,000

Lear Construction is cur-rently doing the renovation work on the Composite High School in Drumheller.GST amounts are also in-cluded in the bidding.

Once the tenders are ex-amined, a recommendation will be made to Drumheller Town Council as to who will win the contract, probably within two weeks.

If deemed necessary, Mayor Nimmo could also call a special council meet-ing to deal with the matter.

In all nine tenders were received for construction of the Badlands Community Facility, and they ap-

pear favourable, ranging from $13,750,000 to $14,987,000.

Ask Your Pharmacist

Ray AinscoughB. Sc. (PHARM)

Q:When I pick up my prescription from my pharmacist what questions should I ask?

When picking up a prescription it is important to know what you are taking the medication for, how to take this medication, what are the side eff ects to watch out for, and whether or not this new medication confl icts with any of your current medications. Leave knowing all this but don’t be afraid to call if any questions arise.

A friend of mine told me to stop taking my prescribed medications and switch to herbal or natural remedies instead. He says these products are safer. Is this true?

That is absolutely false. Herbal and natural remedies may have adverse eff ects just as pharmaceutical medications do. It is important to note, that pharmaceutical drugs have their origins from plants. While herbal medications have their place in society, be aware that most of these medications have not gone through extensive clinical trials to see their effi cacy, potential side eff ects, interactions, and adverse eff ects. Contact your doctor or pharmacist and they should be able to fi nd any information (if it is available) on a particular herbal medication. Finally, never stop a current medication without letting your doctor or pharmacist know as there could be complications with suddenly stopping a medication.

Attendees of the Old Grouch’s 24-Hour Jam in support of STARS were given a powerful reason to continue to support the event and STARS. Th is was the fourth year the 24-Hour Jam has supported STARS Air Ambulance and on Saturday, June 5 afternoon Christine McDougald bravely stood up in front of those gath-ered to support the event to tell her story, a survivor’s story. In February 2004, McDou-gald attended the Drumheller Health Centre for a routine procedure following the birth of her daughter. Because of complications she was losing blood faster than doctors could replace it. She learned STARS were called because to travel to Calgary by ground ambulance, she would have never made it to get the help she needed in time to save her life. “I made sure to tell my hus-band to make sure our children knew how much I loved them,” she told the crowd gathered who hung on every word she spoke. “My pain was gone and I was at peace, but I was aware that this was it.” She received emergency sur-gery, but even after that, she was still losing blood. She re-ceived numerous transfusions. “My family was told all they could do was pray, because there was nothing more that could be done,” she said. “But anyone who knows me, knows I am a fi ghter, and that’s exactly what I did. I fought my way back to my three children, including 18-day-old Delaney.” “STARS gave me that chance to fi ght, and without them I would have died here in Drum-heller Hospital.” Th is was not the fi rst time Christine has shared her inti-mate story. She lent her words to a STARS mail-out campaign and it raised in the area of $600,000 for the organization. Th is was one of the busiest 24-Hour Jam in recent memo-ry according to organizer Fran Nargang. She said the donation of items to the silent auction were up from previous years, and bidding for the most part was fi erce. Entertainer after en-tertainer made their way onto the stage to lend their talents to the cause and keep toes tapping

throughout the night and into the morning. Th is was also the fi rst year STARS Air Ambulance came to the event. On Saturday af-ternoon, they set up tables with merchandise and information on the organization. Fran said they are on track to at least matching last year’s to-tal, but they might have a boost from the infamous “Skorting of the Garry.”

Fran’s husband Garry agreed to wear a skort for the event to show of his gams and to raise pledges. Supporter anted up $785 to have him wear the shorts/skirt combination. He jovially dawned the outfi t as he cooked, plated and served attendees. After the event, he commented he found the outfi t kept him cool as he worked, and he had no problems around the deep fryer with his legs bare.

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcomeby C. Aiello

I read a column in the Calgary Herald last Th ursday, written by one of my favorite columnists, American Pulitzer Prize winner George Will. Mr. Will could be considered a conservative, but mostly a man of uncommon common sense. He writes for the Washington Post, and his theme of the column was “the limits of the welfare state.” He references two former presidents and their opposite views on the role of government. Wood-row Wilson (1913-1921) and James Madison (1809-1917) saw the role of government from almost opposite ends. Mr. Will explained. Woodrow Wilson rejected the idea of a “limiting principle”, and there-by rejecting the idea of “limited government”. Madison on the other hand, believed strongly in a limited government, whose purpose it is to protect the excerise of natural rights that pre-exist government, the principles of proper conduct that are essential to the pursuit of happiness. Progressives such as Wilson (and it seems every other present day politician) believed that history rather than nature, defi nes governments unlimited purposes; that governments exist to dispense an increasingly large array of rights. Th is insinuation of more and more rights is taken as progress toward a more just and tolerant society. Th e assumption be-ing that evolution and progression mean improvement, a totally false as-sumption. Th ese next are Mr. Will’s words, and are so good and true that I must give them verbatim: “Progressivism’s promise is a program for every problem, and progressivism’s premise is that every unfulfi lled desire is a problem. To go further: “Needs breed rights to have those needs ad-dressed.” As humans, our list of needs and desires is never ending, and a progressive government will provide the rights to meet that limitless demand. Again I defer to Mr. Will: “Th e one right that never makes the list is the right to keep some inviolable portion of one’s private income or wealth, regardless of the lofty purposes social reformers wish to make of it.” Lacking any sort of “limiting principle, progressive governments can-not say how big the welfare state can be, but can only know that it must be bigger. Th is last bit from Mr. Will’s column was itself taken from a book written by William Voegeli, entitled, “Never Enough - American’s Limit-less Welfare State.” To me, and apparently to Mr. Will, it sums up perfectly the welfare state and socialism. Read it carefully and absorb it, for it de-scribes a dangerous thing, and our country is far ahead of America when it comes to welfare and entitlements. “By blackening the skies with criss crossing dollars, the welfare state encourages people to believe in an impossibility: that every household can be a net importer of the wealth redistributed by government.” Th e problem, and the impossibility, are the fallacy of socialism, namely that you will always run out of other peoples money (Courtesy Margaret Th atcher). Government must therefore control themselves, and in a de-mocracy who is the government? Unfortunately, socialism and democ-racy cannot abide the fi rst, will weaken the second and the second cannot dwell in the same house, the fi rst will weaken the second, and the second cannot abide the fi rst, so it is down to people. It is we who must restraux ourselves and demand the same from those we elect, as in a democracy it is who the people we are the government.

Th e East Coulee Atlas Coal Mine appears to be a mine of ar-tifacts as items are still being un-earthed.

Recently, Bob Moff att, who used to be a pony driver in the mines, found a device called a ‘railway torpedo’ at the site. “We had no idea that they even existed or were used onsite,” said excutive director Linda Dibgy. Moff att found the device at the mine and knew straight away what he had found. “When I was young, I worked on section gang, maintaining and repairing track,” he said. “All of a sudden, when I was checking out the new track, I saw this device and thought ‘My god, this looks like a torpedo’. I was wondering if it was even the right name for it as it is close to 60 years since I last saw one.” He explained to Th e Weekend-er that those devices were used to warn train engineers of possible danger ahead. Strapped on top of the rail track, the torpedo would explode with a loud bang and a fl ash when the wheel of the train would pass over it, giving a warning to train engineers to be cautious of work-ers or an accident on the track. “We used them when we were working on tracks so it would

alert the train drivers we were there. Th ere were fl ags too, but they weren’t always seen or they might have fl own off ,” explained Moff att. He was puzzled to have found one on the site. “Th e question was ‘Why would they have that here?’. As I looked the tipple over more and more, I realized they were probably backing carts into that area and if the engineer was alone when it went off then he would know he went back far enough. Th is is the only reason I can think for them to be there.” Th e torpedoes provided lots of fun, and some trouble, for chil-dren in those days as they tried to make them ex-plode, although they were consid-ered highly dan-gerous. Last week, Mof-fatt found another

item of interest at the mine, a metal sprag, used to brake coal carts. “It’s amazing what comes un-covered down there as time goes by,” he said. “As a matter of fact I made some wooden sprags for them which were used to brake the coal carts. I had said one of these days I would make them some metal sprags. And we only just found one of those right at

the top of the gantry!” Again, Moff att was puzzled to fi nd one as he explained they didn’t take carts up there. How-ever, he recalls those devices were kept hidden so no-one would steal them, which could explain the unusual location in which it was found it was found. Used as braking devices, a driver at the front of pony-pulled carts would use them to help brake

when going down-hill by placing them in the spokes of the wheels to stop the wheels from turn-ing. “Wooden ones oc-casionally would break so you had no brakes anymore. Th ese metal ones would not break. However if you had a fl at spot on a wheel, it started to bounce back and forth and would fall out.” Moff att estimates the sprag found to be about 50 years old.

Atlas Coal Mine volunteer Bob Moff att found an old device at the mine, called a torpedo, pic-tured above with Moff att. These devices were placed on railway lines and would detonate when the wheels of a train would pass over it, warning the train engi-neer to be cautious of possible danger ahead.

Rides

Ford carries a lot of muscle

This week’s inSide Ride is Patrick Rehill’s 1977 Ford F250. This was the sixth generation for the F-Series and it was a workhorse. Rehill has owned the truck for years and had a design on bringing it back to life. At its heart is a restored and customized 460 C.I. big block tuned to perfection. This is a frame-off restoration, meaning every inch of the truck has been meticulously restored.

Freson IGA helps Greentree Warriors smash Relay For Life targetThe youngest team to enter the Relay For Life this year received a boost from Freson IGA and Maple Leaf Foods on Tuesday, June 8. Teaming together, the two business-es organized a parking lot BBQ to help the team, and raised $373.55. Greentree School phys-ed teacher Mrs. Gerodo, who put the team together, is extremely happy with the support she has received from local businesses, and said the Warriors have raised over four times the tar-

get they had set for themselves. In the photo, Ken Rich-mond, left, assistant manager at Freson IGA, hands over the money raised from the BBQ to Warrior Olivia Candy, with (front; l-r) Warriors Brandon Lang, Tony Ponto and Adam Van Holland and (back; l-r) Evan Gallagher, Gi-anna Lal and Megan Charmont; absent from the photo is Greentree Warrior Madison Lang.

It has its roots in Scripture, The Sabbath principle is embodied with the Ten Commandments, which were given for all men and for all time. Following the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, the fi rst day of the week became a weekly reminder of His risen presence. Whereas the 7th day speaks of God’s work in creation, the 1st day reminds us of His love in redemption. For more information contact: CLDA Box 1369, Picture Butte, AB, T0K 1V0.

Th e wet weather, busier work load and technical problems Vic-tor Bustamante has experienced recently haven’t deterred him from persevering as the Ride to Conquer Cancer he is undertak-ing approaches. In just two weeks, on June 26-27, Bustamante will take on the challenge of riding 200 kilome-tres in two days across the foot-hills of the Canadian Rockies, in order to raise money to conquer cancer, as reported in the May 14 edition of inSide Drumheller. When inSide caught up with Bustamante, he explained that training had been diffi cult due to the wet weather, and work at the museum had become busier with the season starting to pick up. He had also encountered a few tech-nical problems with his bike and needed a replacement part. “With the weather, work get-ting busier and the technical problems I have had with my bike, it has been tough,” he said. “Th is week I couldn’t ride, so

I have been running more and I squeezed some swimming in there too. But I got the part I needed for my bike yesterday so I should be able to ride it as soon as it stops raining.” Worried about not being able to train as hard as he had wanted to, he told inSide Drumheller that he was aware his friends hadn’t either. “At least we are all going to suf-fer together,” he laughed. A busier working schedule has also meant he hasn’t been able to put too much time into fundrais-ing. “It’s tough. I still have about $1,000 to go,” he said. “On the positive side, I have just found out from IGA that I can take over the fundraising BBQ taking place this Saturday morning in their parking lot, as someone has cancelled. So I jumped at this opportunity.” Bustamante will also be taking his recumbent bike to the BBQ so people can take a look at the unusual cycle he has used during his training, weather permitting!

To fundraise for his two-day 200 km Ride to Conquer Cancer, Victor Bustamante will be hosting a BBQ at IGA on Saturday, June 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. fi lephoto

Alaska Nanooks men’s hockey forward, and for-mer Drumheller Dragon Dion Knelsen was selected to the ESPN Magazine's 'Academic All-America At-Large Men’s First Team' announced Tuesday, as se-lected by the College Sports Information Directors of America. Knelsen, who graduated from the University of Alas-ka Fairbanks last month with a degree in Business Administration, main-tained a 3.98 grade point average in his studies and was selected to the Chan-cellor’s List every semester of his four-year career. He signed a one-year con-tract to play professional hockey next season for the Sparta Warriors of Sarps-borgo, Norway, and the Norwegian Elite League. The leading scorer for the

Nanooks this season with 19 goals and 24 assists, Knelsen led the Blue and Gold to an 18-12-9 record and their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. His four-year, career scor-

ing line of 45 goals, 75 as-sists and 120 points rank 17th on Alaska’s all-time scoring list. His senior campaign was capped off with a

heap of athletic and aca-demic awards including: CCHA Scholar-Athlete of the Year, CCHA Humani-tarian of the Year, CCHA All-Conference Team Hon-ourable Mention, Lowe’s Senior CLASS First-Team All-American, UAF Joel Weigert Outstanding Graduating Senior Man, all-tournament team and MVP honours at the Kend-all Classic and Brice Alaska Goal Rush, respectively, and was one of just seven finalists for the prestigious Hockey Humanitarian Award. He is the fifth Nanook to earn the prestigious distinc-tion, joining Trevor Hyatt (Men’s At-Large, 2009), Marius Korthauer (Men’s At-Large, 2008), Vahur Teppan (Men’s At-Large, 2008) and Jenny (Lin) Ben-son (Women’s Basketball, 1989).

AJHL lays out new playoff format at AGM

submitted | inSide Drumheller

The AJHL held its Annual General Meeting on Saturday, May 29 in Red Deer. The 2010-2011 season will officially commence on Fri-day, September 10 with the opening games of the AJHL regular season. Several new changes and initiatives will be introduced for the 2010-2011 AJHL sea-son, as a result of the follow-ing decisions executed at the AGM. The Alberta Junior Hockey League will crown Divisional Champions in the 2011 AJHL Enerflex Cup Playoffs. Each division will playoff to deter-mine a divisional champion at the conclusion of Round Three in the AJHL Playoffs. The North Division Cham-pion and the South Division Champion will then compete in the League Final for the AJHL Enerflex Cup. The new playoff format will be in place for the next three seasons (through to the 2013 AJHL Playoffs). The AJHL regular season schedule will consist of 16 teams playing an unbalanced schedule of 60 games apiece for the next three seasons. The Alberta Junior Hockey League also approved the decision to introduce a new overtime format for the 2010-2011 season. The League will

be moving to a 3 on 3 over-time period, followed by a shoot-out. The shoot-out will be implemented for the next three seasons. The Calgary Royals Hockey Club will be launching a new logo and name change for the 2010-2011 AJHL season. A formal announcement of the new team name will be made by the Hockey Club in June. The Alberta Junior Hockey League will launch a mobile website, AJHL Network, Face-book and Twitter pages, and a redeveloped League website in August 2010. AJHL Pay Per View will continue following a success-ful inaugural season in 2009-2010. A strong commitment to providing an improved broadcast will enhance the experience for all fans in the 2010-2011 season. The AJHL will implement the two-referee system at se-lect games throughout the 2010-2011 regular season. The two-referee system adds a fourth official for a total of two referees and two lines-men. The two-referee system has been utilized by the AJHL in the post-season since 2006. The 4th Annual AJHL Showcase Weekend will re-turn to the AJHL community of Spruce Grove, Alberta from September 30 to October 2.
