A fatality inquiry into the death of a three-year-old boy, the victim of an apparent murder-suicide three years ago, will take place next week in Drumheller. Th e community was shocked on September 28, 2008 with the report that Richard Saunders and his son were discovered deceased in a house near downtown

Drumheller. Th e two were found in a locked and sealed bedroom. Lethal lev-els of carbon monoxide were dis-covered in the home. Th e incident happened during a court ordered weekend visit. A fatality inquiry is mandatory in Alberta when a person dies in custody on or off a correctional institution’s premise, in the cus-tody of police and in the case of

force being used by a police of-fi cer. Th ey are also mandatory in the deaths of involuntary mental health patients and in the deaths of foster children. Fatality inquiries can be called in other cases outlined in the act, and the public can request that a case be heard, and the Fatality In-quiry Board can make a recom-mendation for it to proceed. A fatality inquiry determines

the circumstances of a death, and is heard by a provincial court judge. Th e judge may make rec-ommendations for the preven-tion of similar incidents, but cannot make any fi ndings of legal responsibility. Th is inquiry is scheduled in provincial court in Drumheller from June 6-17, to be heard by Judge P.M. McIlargey.

Eight-year-old leukemia survi-vor Leeza Nielsen will be the pri-mary fl ag bearer in the Survivor’s Victory Lap at Relay for Life on Friday, June 10. Diagnosed with the illness in 2008 when she was 5, and about to mark her one year anniversary of ending treatment, Leeza is a shy girl who dealt with the sick-ness and subsequent treatment with resiliency, says her mother Sherri Nielsen. “Kids are amazingly resilient – they don’t have that anxiety and worry like adults do. Th ey’re like ‘how quickly can I get back to playing or my crafts so I can get back to doing the things I want to do,'" she said. “She did well considering you’re thrown into it with no preparations.” It was a shock for the fam-ily when she was fi rst diagnosed with leukemia. Her mother says Leeza wasn’t feeling well and all of a sudden she had petechia – purple dots all over her which usually indicate a lack of plate-lets. Sherri works in the Drum-heller Health Centre lab and she was present when the blood work results were printed out. “I was standing there and start-ed to cry, we had to usher her out to distract her until we could get in touch with a doctor.” Th e two rushed off to Calgary that day and sub s e quent ly stayed for nine months at the Ronald Mc-Donald House there. Sherri took a leave of absence from work to stay with her there, while her three sons and husband remained at their farm in Hussar. “Th ey have a sort of saying that she got the ‘one you want to get’, because it has the best progno-sis,” says Sherri. It took two years, four months, and four days of chemotherapy to fi nish the treatment of her leuke-mia, the type with a 95 per cent survival rate. “Th ere were times she did pret-ty good and other times where

she wouldn’t eat and lost weight. She was never as ill as a lot of kids who get sick. She was fortunate she could still function.” Losing control of your own choices when you're in therapy is what Sherri believes bothered her the most. Th at’s where Lee-za’s now-famous blue fl annel hat came in. Initially in treatment, Leeza’s hair wasn’t falling out like it typi-cally does with chemo, but by October it started to shed. Sherri bought the hat for her daughter, but she didn’t start wearing it un-til early 2009. “For whatever rea-son she picked that hat, we have no idea. She doesn’t take it off .” When granted a Disney cruise vacation from the Children’s Foundation, Leeza refused to re-move the cap when customs re-quested it. She was eventually let on without having to remove it. “I don’t know if she associates it with the idea that once she started feeling better she was wearing the hat, and if she keeps it on she’ll stay happy. Whether it’s a security blanket type thing or the staying healthy idea, she has never really told anyone. And

that’s fi ne,” says Sherri, adding that Drumhell-er school’s are understanding of her leaving it on. "She even wears it into the swimming pool," laughs Sherri. Leeza, now a

Grade 3 student at Greentree School, is enjoying horseback riding, snowboarding, golfi ng – “doing everything all the other kids do,” says her mom. With any cancer and subse-quent chemo treatment, there is a risk of it coming back. Th ere’s always a chance of second-ary cancer from the chemo and drugs themselves, which is what Sherri says she probably worries

about the most. “Every time she has a regular ache or pain like any regular kid, I wonder if it’s normal or a dis-ease or something. We try not to panic.” When asked why the Nielsen family allows their daughter to share her story, Sherri says she wants Leeza to remember all the people who supported her and give back. “She’s kind of like a hero for me, to have gone through so much and survived – I think it’s a way to give back. People were so supportive of us and her. “When she was 5, she didn’t understand the scope of people who donate money and time, and as she gets older I want her to re-member to give back and be an inspiration to help other kids." Cancer doesn’t just strike adults, it can strike anyone and having someone like Leeza carry a fl ag in the Survivor’s Victory Lap is a reminder that there is hope, says lap organizer Vi Adie, who asked Leeza to carry the fl ag. “A little kid like that can be in-spiring to people who are fi ghting it. Th e Survivor Lap is there to support people who are fi ghting right now and honour those who did not win the fi ght,” says Adie,

who’s organizing the event for her fi fth year in honour of friend Adeline McKay who passed in October from cancer. “Th ere isn’t a family out there who doesn’t have a connection with the bloody thing called can-cer,” Adie continues. “We need to pay it forward,” added Sherri, explaining the tremendous support the family received from Ronald McDon-ald House and the people who walked for Leeza in the 2010 Strathmore Relay for Life. “Hope-fully she’ll be an inspiration for someone.” Leeza, a shy girl, said she was excited for the event because “it’s fun to be in the newspaper, and to hold the fl ag and walk around.” She adds that Ronald McDonald House made her feel at home, and hopefully by leading the lap she can “make other people feel at home too.” Drumheller’s 2011 Relay for Life is happening at the Stam-pede Grounds on Friday, June 10 starting at 7:00 p.m. Anyone who is a cancer sur-vivor is welcome to attend the event, and can either pre-register by calling Vi Adie at 403-823-6760, Barb Neigum at 403-823-7470, or Cheryl Barnes at 403-572-3601.

After more than 20 years of operation the GuZoo in Th ree Hills, is closing its doors, and not by choice. On Wednesday after-noon, the Ministry of Sus-tainable Resources Devel-opment released a press release which stated that following a third party re-view of the zoo in Th ree Hills, a seven day permit was issued with the direc-tive of decommissioning the facility. “We have not taken this step lightly,” said Mel Knight, Minister of Sus-tainable Resources Devel-opment. “We worked close-ly with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development to identify the decommission-ing as the responsible ac-tion.” Over the next seven days, the Ministry of Sustainable Resources and the Minis-try of Agriculture and Ru-ral Development will work with the ownership of the GuZoo to decommission, remove and disperse the animals. “Th e health and welfare of the animals and public safety at this facility have al-ways been our primary con-cerns,” said Jack Hayden, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Th e Offi ce of the Chief Provin-cial Veterinarian is playing a key role in addressing the concerns brought to light at this facility and the action being taken.”

Concerns about the wel-fare of the animals were brought to light through an online campaign that caught like wildfi re. An in-spection by the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) was completed. It looked at 108 elements from the Alberta Zoo Standards. Defi cien-cies were identifi ed in all categories of zoo operation. Almost immediately, Al-berta Liberal Sustainable Resource Development Critic Laurie Blakeman lauded the development,

although he said it was long overdue. Th ey’ve (the Alberta Government) got to do a better job of enforcing zoo standards,” Blakeman said. “Getting a license renewed shouldn’t be just a matter of slamming down the right rubber stamp.” Following the initial wave of publicity of the condi-tions of the GuZoo, a group of supporters began work-ing help the owner of Gu-

Zoo to improve the facil-ity. Paula Sutherland was working locally to improve the GuZoo. “I am dumbfounded, I honestly didn’t think it was going to happen,” said Sutherland. “It’s really dis-appointing, now what do I say to my kids? Th is was one of those things we do on a Sunday afternoon.” She adds that it worries her the amount of power that a social media cam-

paign can wield. “I can’t believe that some-thing went to such propor-tions based on Facebook. Th at scares me,” she said. “Th at something can totally change your life based on a social network of people who haven’t even visited it, an opinion that is biased for the most part.”

This recipe is a diff erent and easy brunch idea, but would serve as a nice lunch as well.A cross between quiche and pizza, makes it pretty versatile. Sausage Cheddar Pizza Pie with Zucchini1 package frozen pizza dough (750g.), thawed3 zucchinis (about 550g total)½ tsp salt340g Italian sausage (hot or mild) with casings removed*4 chopped green onions1 cup shredded cheddar cheese1 egg½ cup light sour cream or 5% cream*Sometimes you can buy packages of ground Italian sausage meat. Shape the dough into a ball and let rest 30 mins.

Shred the zucchini with a coarse grater and toss with the salt. Let stand 20 minutes in a colander. This will remove excess liquid.

Fry the meat until browned for about 8 minutes. Drain and cool.Squeeze liquid from zucchini and add to sausage. *Be sure to get as much moisture out as possible or you will end up with a soggy pizza.

Add onions and cheese.

Beat egg with the cream and mix into sausage mixture.

Stretch dough to fi t 12 x 16 baking sheet. Spread the mixture over dough. Bake at 400 until golden - about 40 minutes. When I made this, I used a ready-made frozen pizza crust. It would also be good with diff erent cheese types, such as the Italian blend.Since zucchinis come in various sizes, go by weight rather than amounts. I used one large zucchini. At the time of writing this, I am hoping we will be able to enjoy nice, leisurely brunches out on the deck - with no rain, wind or mosquitoes!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, someone from your past surfaces and you may have some explaining to do. These are not the surprises you had hoped for, but it's something you can manage.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21It's important to breathe once in a while, Taurus. Running through many different responsibilities can lead to stress almost instantly. Take a few steps back and enjoy quiet.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Concentration level is at an all-time low this week, Gemini. That can make getting through work a bit of a challenge. You may need some as-sistance.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Think about of a change in location, Cancer. You may need a few new amenities and additional features that your current place simply can't provide.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Unless you speak up you cannot be heard, Leo. You have a roar -- so use it. There's something going on you don't like, but it will be diffi cult to change.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you're full of happiness this week and it's because everything is fi nally falling into place. Home: check! Work: check! Now all you need to do is work on love.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23There are a few options you need to consider for a big event, Libra. Make a list of all that needs to be accom-plished and cross one item off at a time.SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Make a few concessions when com-pany drops by, Scorpio. While it may disrupt your schedule for a little bit, the end result will be positive.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, family issues are rarely resolved quickly. Be at the forefront of keeping the peace at home and it will make for a much better living arrangement.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, it's OK to ask for help, even if it seems like you can tackle everything on your own. This week-end offers an opportunity for letting loose, and you are ready.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Sometimes the past can sneak up on you, Aquarius. That's just what happens this week, and you are caught in a sticky situation. Only the truth can resolve this.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Warm weather has you excited about a vacation, Pisces. The trou-ble will be rounding up the funds to get away.

No trip to the Drumheller Valley is complete without a visit to the town that almost disappeared: East Coulee. Once a thriving coal town with over 3000 residents, the memory of the former min-ing boomtown is still well preserved within the Valley walls. East Coulee now has a population of 200, many of whom are dedicated to the town’s rich history. Th e road to East Coulee is a trip back in time, down the valley of the dinosaurs, where petri-fi ed forests once stood, and miners toiled for coal in the many mines tunnelled into the river valley walls. Highway 10 is dotted with a number of small commu-nities such as Rosedale, Le-high, Cambria, Wayne and

East Coulee that were once populated with the families of thousands of coal miners who worked in the Valley’s 140 mines. Th e ‘golden era’ from 1911 to 1947 drew thousands of men seeking work, some as young as 14, and the popula-tion in towns like East Cou-lee, Wayne, Nacmine and Drumheller soared. One of the Valley’s most prominent mines, the Atlas Coal Mine, remained open until 1979 and with its clos-ing the last echoes of an era fell into silence. Now the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site has become one of the Valley’s most treasured tourist at-tractions and a quick visit can take you through the ev-eryday life of a coal miner. Ride the actual electric train that the coal miners

rode each and every day in and out of the underground tunnels. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of men up to the top of the Atlas Coal Mine tipple, the last wooden tipple in Canada. At eight stories high the tipple is a truly ex-hilarating structure and por-trays an honest depiction of the duties and working con-ditions of a coal miner’s life. Th e Atlas Coal Mine has also been named a Provincial Historic Resource and has been designated a Canadian Historical Site. Described as the most complete min-ing museum in Canada, the Atlas Coal Mine still has ev-erything but the hole in the ground. To get there, simply travel 15 minutes east of Drumheller on Highway 10, across the river from the

East Coulee, a town rich in memory

The Atlas Coal Mine in East Coulee is the biggest stop in the quaint ham-let, a once thriving coal town with over 3,000 residents. The East Coulee School Museum is a great stop for tourists looking for a break from the dinosaurs. inSide fi le photo (Continued on opposite page)

community of East Coulee. Another spectacular at-traction in East Coulee is the “big” School Museum. Th e experience of walking down the hallway of the large 12 room school built in 1930 with its creaky fl oors will remind you of the thou-sands of children who lived and received their education in this coal mining town. Th e museum has im-maculate displays featuring a restored classroom with original desks, blackboards, schoolbooks, photos, etc. Other highlights include an old miner’s house completely restored with period furni-ture and artifacts. Th ey have also turned one of the classrooms into the Willow Tea Room & Cafe, which serves wonderful lunches and desserts. Perhaps the most amazing part of the museum is the re-stored 1932 coal-fi red steam boiler. Th is steam boiler is still used today to heat the museum in the winter - in fact, it consumes more than 60 tons of coal every winter. Th e history of the com-

munity is evident in the streetscapes of the town site. Former miner shacks still dot the streets as well as more modern dwellings. Th ere are artisan shops and studios that celebrate the past as well as the present, such as Cara-col Clay Studio where local artist Janet Grabner creates and sells fi ne pottery wares. On the way to East Cou-lee on Highway 10 be sure to stop and visit the acclaimed Hoodoos site. Hoodoos are sandstone formations that have been eroded by the ele-ments over millions of years and the end result is a unique mushroom-like shape carved out of stone. Th e hoodoos are a perfect stop to com-pletely absorb the natural, distinctive landscape of the Drumheller Valley. Like looking at an old photograph, a visit to East Coulee is a unique experi-ence that will take you back to a time where dinosaurs roamed and miners delved. For a town that almost dis-appeared, it is now a town truly dedicated to its rich history.

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.

For most winter weary Albertans, sum-mer can’t arrive fast enough. Rosebud Th e-atre has the answer to kick away those dreary winter blues. Make plans to see the com-edy of W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid: Prai-rie Seasons playing this summer at the Rosebud Opera House. Th is hu-mourous “growing up” story that opened May 27 will transport audi-ences back to fi ctional Crocus, Saskatchewan where a young boy and

the family’s hired hand Jake forge a friendship through the changing seasons.

Artistic Director Morris Ertman notes, “It’s been several years since we’ve put a W.O. Mitchell story on our stage. Th e last was Th e

Kite and it absolutely captured audiences with its small-town characters and antics. Rosebud is not unlike Crocus, Saskatchewan - the setting for Jake and the Kid. So, coming to see a W.O. Mitchell story here in this val-ley is akin to walking through a village right out of a W.O. Mitchell prairie novel and then entering the theatre to be entertained by his stories. Having a W. O. Mitchell story on our summer stage is a huge treat! W.O. Mitch-ell and Rosebud were meant for each other.”

In 2005, Rosebud Th eatre presented Mitchell’s Th e Kite that played to sold-out houses and almost 12,000 patrons. Audi-ences were enthralled by the connection of W.O. Mitchell’s characters to their own communities. Of particular note in that production was the character Daddy Sherry. “Nathan Schmidt pulled off a perfor-mance as Daddy Sherry that is still talked about as one of Rosebud’s funniest accomplish-ments,” says Ertman. “For this production he’s changing clothes to play the title role of Jake and will tickle audience funny bones with the same wit, humour and prairie town ‘cantanker-ousness’ that only W.O. Mitchell can create.” When visiting Rose-bud, plan to make a stop at the new Wild Horse Jack’s Bistro & Grill. Ertman encour-ages people to check it out: “I am certain that if W.O. Mitch-ell was wandering the Alberta highways and came upon this restau-

rant, he’d fi nd himself at a table in the centre of the room, soaking up the atmosphere and identifying with the wild, wonderful energy of a village in rural Al-berta that refl ects the size, quirkiness and life in his imagination.” Jake and the Kid: Prai-rie Seasons plays on the Rosebud Th eatre Opera

House stage Wed-Sat until July when it plays Wed-Sunday until Au-gust 28. Matinee and evening performances are available. Please call the Rosebud Th eatre Box Offi ce for reser-vations at 1-800-267-7553. More informa-tion can be found at www.rosebudtheatre.com.

Small-town prairie comedy rolls into Rosebud

Just in time for summer, W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons has opened at Rosebud Theatre and will continue to run until August 28. Check out www.rosebudtheatre.com.

Last Tuesday was world No Tobacco Day, a day set aside to encourage a 24-hour abstinence from tobacco around the world. Th is year’s theme is the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Th is framework was developed in response to the tobacco epi-demic throughout the world and has been signed by 173 parties. Th e core of the convention is to reduce the demand for tobacco through a number of measures including price and tax, as well as regulations from exposure to smoke, regulation of the contents of tobacco products, product disclosure, packaging and label-ling, advertising awareness and dependence and cessation pro-grams. Th e convention also looks at supply issues including the sale of tobacco to minors, the illicit trade in tobacco products and looking for economically viable alternatives. While it is not easy to corre-late the convention into changing habits, in Alberta, a culture of to-bacco use has seen a shift. “In the last decade there have been a few changes. Th e reality right now is most people don’t smoke, more than 80 per cent, and 90 per cent don’t chew,” said Martin McSween, tobacco re-duction/addictions counsellor for Alberta Health Services. “Of those, over half are think-ing of quitting. Most of us have

grown up in a culture of tobacco use, and now that we are more aware of the addictive nature of the drug it is unacceptable to use.” Since 2003, it has become il-legal for anyone under 18 to use, possess or consume tobacco. Legislation has banned smoking in public spaces, businesses, res-taurants as well as penitentiaries. Th ere have also been changes to labelling, advertising and mar-keting of tobacco products, most recently restrictions on fl avoured tobacco sales. McSween said to show this cul-

ture shift he has been collecting “tobacco memories,” how people have seen a change in society. Some of the feedback has ranged from the change in price to the availability of candy ciga-rettes. “One person said in her high school, there was a 'smoking door,' and smoking was permit-ted on airplanes,” said McSween. Another change a person no-tices is awareness to smoking is aimed at a younger audience, and more access to cessation pro-grams.

What is your tobacco memory?

Monica Samuel’s Grade 1 class at Greentree part-ed ways with their toys in hopes of making the lives of children evacuated from the Slave Lake fi res a little easier. They collected dozens of toys on Thurs-day and planned to ship them off to the fi re strick-en area this week. “They liked to help, although

it was a little hard for them to part with the toys,” said Samuel. Student Lakelan Lavie suggested the idea to his classmates. Why? “Because I thought it would be nice for people there to have a couple of toys and some clothes,” he said.

Local agencies and the Town of Drumheller have partnered to host an inaugural EARN Part-nership breakfast. Local committee members for the creation of the EARN Part-nership breakfast (Employee Attraction Retention Network) include Alberta Works, Com-munity Futures – Big Country, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, MH Enterprises and the Town of Drumheller. Th e event is on Th ursday, June

16, from 6:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. at Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club. Th rough grant funding pro-vided by Alberta Works Busi-ness and Industry Department, MH Enterprises has taken the lead on this exciting opportu-nity for our community’s lead-ers, businesses and community members to come together in an open forum to network and to foster business development in our region. Th e EARN Partnership break-fast will include a presentation by renowned speaker Roy Saun-derson, a leading North Ameri-can expert on employee recogni-tion. Multiple communities throughout Alberta have experi-enced the benefi ts of the EARN Partnership. “For many of the attendees, they are unable to get the oppor-tunity to travel to see these qual-ity speakers and as a result, the business community is strength-ened with the exposure to ideas and concepts from these indus-try visionaries,” said Jeff Mulli-gan, Mayor of Lloydminster. Th e committee is excited to be able to off er our business com-munity leading edge tools to in-crease their economic capacity while at the same time bringing together a neutral networking opportunity for all attendees. Th e EARN Partnership break-fast will also provide opportuni-ties for groups and organizations to highlight upcoming events or accomplishments within their organizations!

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcome by C. Aiello

Keeping your child’s gender a secret. Another great idea brought to you by a couple of whacked out parents in Toronto. I wonder just how long they can keep such a blatantly natural thing hidden. Sooner of later somebody is going to notice: “Hey buddy, you need a shave” or “Wow, nice rack.” Maybe before it reaches that stage, it will be: “Mommy, which bathroom do I use?” Really, how do you, why would you, keep such an important thing hidden? It’s cruel to experiment on your children, especially when it aff ects their psyche. Keeping a kid’s gender a secret is taking things a little too far. Kids have a hard enough time trying to fi t in, not knowing your gen-der, or being unsure if you should be playing with dolls or toy soldiers, can make for a very unhealthy, unhappy kid. When that kid fi nds out who is responsible for his/her unhappy situation, it would not surprise me if the guilty party had a little violence visited upon them. It would only be fair if they themselves were rendered genderless. A little late in the game maybe, but fair is fair.

I noticed in Tuesday’s Calgary Herald, front page in fact, that the Al-berta Association of Police Chiefs want the government to require man-datory pay-fi rst fuel pumps. Th ey say that it would cut out their having to investigate gas and dash thefts, which eat up time and resources better spent chasing seat belt off enders. Th ey say, in the interest of selling the idea, that it’s not just the theft, that it’s also a public safety issue. Th ey want to see if there is a “political appetite to move on this,” hence the reason for calling it a “public” safety issue. Much more palatable. Personally, I don’t like the idea. I had experience with it while in B.C. and got so peeved the fi rst time I needed gas, and had to pay fi rst, that I threw a 20 dollar bill at the attendant. Most unlike me, but it gives you an idea the kind of rage something like this can instill. If I have to fi ll up my tank, or just top it off , how do I know how much it’s going to cost?

Neuman’s beard hits auction block for Relay

Kyle Smylie| inSide Drumheller

Eric Neuman will be put-ting his gnarly beard and long hair on the line in an eff ort to raise funds for his Relay for Life team on Th ursday, June 9 at the Ris-ing Star restaurant. Neuman has recently grown a long beard and will be auctioning off a chance for someone to style it any way they want. Proceeds from the event, which starts at 6:00 p.m. at the restau-rant in downtown Drum-heller will go towards the Relay team..

“I wanted to support them on my own for once,” he said, adding that his team the “Neumanators 10000” have already raised $1,200 in pledges for the all night cancer research fundraiser on June 10. “I thought, ‘everyone shaves off their hair for can-

cer,’ so I decided to make it a little more interesting.” Th e public is welcome to the restaurant, where lo-cal band Hoodoo Voodoo will also be playing at 8:00 p.m., and the auction for Neuman’s grizzly beard will take place after their fi rst set, around 9:00 p.m. Th ere is no admission fee, the only costs will be food, drinks, and “of course do-nations made to our team for Relay,” said Neuman. Th e winner will style Neuman's hair any way they please, and he promised to

spend the next 48 hours be-ing visible in the valley dur-ing the days to show off the do and raise interest in this year’s Relay for Life. It will take place at the Stampede Grounds on Friday, June 10 at 7:00 p.m. Th e Neumanators 10000 are composed of Neuman, Tessa Zackrisson, Karis Pauly, and Ben Kanbour. Th ey are looking for more members to join the team, as event organizers ideally shoot for 10-15 per team.

Eric Neuman will be putting his beard and hair on the auction block for a Relay for Life fundraiser at the Rising Star restaurant on Thurs-day, June 9. The auction winner will style his hair whichever way they want, and he’ll keep it that way for 48 hours to spread the Relay word. Relay for Life begins at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, June 10 at the Stampede Grounds.
