Taking a shot at the Rec Expo!

The expo gave residents a chance to sign up for clubs in Drumheller and get a look at some of the Badlands Community Facility, which will be opening March 12.

For those who have been waiting for what seems an eternity go get into the Bad-lands Community Facility the opening is nigh. However, residents can get a peek in the new building this weekend. Today, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the Facility will be open-ing its doors to allow residents who have prepurchased mem-berships the chance to come in, get their ID made, and be taken on a tour. Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the building will be open to all residents who wish to pur-chase a membership and get a tour of Facility. “We’re very excited about the weekend coming up. We have the open house, have a lot of people see the building, and go operational on Mon-day,” said Guy Latour, business manager of the Facility. Th e big day, the day when members can walk in freely and use their favourite fi tness or sports equipment is this upcoming Monday. On Wednesday, March 7, quite a few residents got a chance to check out some of the building during the Sports, Recreation, and Arts Expo. Th e expo was held in the banquet hall and was packed with people checking out what’s available in town, sign-ing up for clubs, and getting a look at the new facility. Over 40 diff erent groups set up booths at the expo and a few did live presentations.

“It went great, it’s exciting to see so many people in the building,” said Latour. A few attendees took the opportunity to purchase their memberships for the Facility a little early. Attendees may have noticed there are a few patches that have yet to be completed in the Facility. Th e building has received the green light from the architect to let the public inside. “We have the occupation for the building. It’s safe for the public. Th ere are a few small

things to be done, but we’re going to be open,” said Latour. “We can get people in, work-ing out, and having fun.” For more information about the Facility or membership rates, check out www.dino-saurvalley.com or stop by the open house on the weekend.

Barry Pozzo“I like the extra light at

night. I wish it would stay the same all year.”

Bonnie Walbourne“I think it’s fabulous. It gets

everyone motivated for spring, which is around

the corner, just not sure which one.”

Amanda Gordon“The worst thing is getting

up earlier, especially getting kids up for school. It’s nice

to have an extra hour of daylight at night.”

It’s time once again to spring forward. Daylight savings time begins on

Sunday. inSide Drumheller asks:

“What is the best/worst part about daylight

savings time?”

Patrick Parsons“I don’t think we should

change it at all. It’s a hassle. There’s 24 hours in a day no matter which way

you look at it.”

Letter to the EditorInside Drumheller

Dear Editor,

Due to other commit-ments, I was unable to at-tend the Town Meeting a bit ago, regarding the re-location of the Town Hall. However, I did have a per-sonal conversation with the Mayor with my opinion on this matter. According to the paper report following the meet-ing, it was stated, the ma-jority in attendance were supportive of this move.

Perhaps this was because of who attended, I do not know, but I do know there has been a lot of concern amongst the local public with this decision, particu-larly due to another huge unnecessary cost at this time, which no doubt will fall back on the taxpayers. I want to commend Chip Aiello on his commentary, last week in your paper, who presented the facts so well, when he discussed ‘Wants and Needs’. I, and many others, agree totally with him, and have heard many well-deserved and positive comments on his column of last week. Is this relocation really supported by the ma-jority of citizens, with the weak reasons for the move, as presented??

Upon arrival, they located an individual who claimed he had killed two people. When police attended the possible crime scene, two people, a male and a female, were located deceased in-side. Th e investigation is in its

very early stages, and con-tinues with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identi-fi cation Unit, as well as the RCMP Major Crimes Unit. A 24 year old male, be-lieved to be related to one of the victims, is currently in police custody. If you have any informa-tion relating to this crime or any other crime, please con-tact the Hanna RCMP De-tachment at 403-854-3393 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcomeby C. Aiello

Dalton McGuinty. Sounds more like a name of a sheriff in a small Irish village, rather than the premier of a large, fi nancially handi-capped province in the middle of Canada. Dalton McGuinty, the premier of Ontario, that once arrogant giant, and economic engine of Canada, (the province, not the premier), now fi nds himself wearing concrete overshoes (manufactured in Ontario), and slowly sinking in a quagmire, also manufactured in Ontario. So desperate is he to keep his head from going under that he swings an angry paw at whatever is within reach; whatever he might grasp, with which he might pull himself to safety. Last week his feeble paw swung at what of late, seems to be everybody’s favourite target, Alberta’s oilsands. Fortunately, all he got was sticky, black hands and a red face. Ontario is in a tough situation, some say comparable to Greece. (An overstatement but still a fair analogy). For years the heart of Ontario’s economy was the manufacturing sector, and the export of manufactured goods. For years the jobs in the manufacturing sector were protected by large, powerful unions, ensuring high wages and good benefi ts. Today, a lot of the manufactured goods are now made in other countries, where unions do not exist. Ontario has lost a lot of its manufacturing, and its jobs. Dalton McGuinty prefers to look past that, and blames a high dollar for lost manufacturing jobs. And who’s at fault for a high dollar? Alberta and our oilsands of course, (just as we are for global warming or climate change or whatever they’re calling it now). I have trouble making the connection, but I’m not an economist nor have I ever claimed to be too smart. Th is much I do know, if the entire oilsands were fenced, padlocked and no company allowed to mine the oil, this whole country, not just Ontario, would dive into the deepest economic funk that my generation will have every experienced. Just where does Dalton McGuinty think the billions we send out in transfer payments come from? Mr. McGuinty has, in large part, created his own problems. To some he is kiddingly referred to as “Premier Daddy”, for all the vast array of social programs that his government has created and implemented. A program for this, a program for that, spend, spend, spend and when you fi nd you can’t cover all the spending, well, don’t blame Dalton, you guys wanted all that stuff . Hey, maybe this is like Greece. Th e citizens lobby for this and that, they want to retire at 55, pay no income tax and have a fully funded government pension. Oops, sorry. After all those nice programs, there’s nothing left to pay your retirement pension. Now how’d that hap-pen?

Residents were perusing through what clubs and organizations are available in Drumheller during the Sports, Recreation, and Arts Expo at the Bad-lands Community Facility on Wednesday, March. Over 40 booths were present and a few groups

gave demonstrations to attendees. For more in-formation on what’s around town, check out the Wednesday, March 7, edition of The Drumheller Mail for its Spring/Summer program guide.


Checking out what Drumheller has to offer

New look at lacrosseAlberta Lacrosse is reaching out across the prov-ince and this week they are in Drumheller intro-ducing the sport to youngsters in the valley. On Wednesday, Alberta Lacrosse was at St. Anthony’s in the morning and then DVSS in the afternoon. In the evening they were at the Recreation Fair dem-

onstrating the sport. On Thursday morning they were at Greentree School. Leading the demonstra-tion was Jesse Fehr, he plays for the Edmonton Rush and also played at Harvard and Duke Univer-sity. Here he guides Grade 11 and 12 phys-ed stu-dents through the basics of the game.

Th e Drumheller Titans are looking forward to Fri-day night lights, as it starts an illuminating campaign. Th e community football organization that laid claim to a provincial banner this season, is looking to install lights at the DVSS Field. Th is will give the team a better experience in prac-tice and in play “Th e addition of lights to our facility will further enhance the experience of football for our players. Having the opportunity to play under the lights on a Friday night adds an ele-ment of prestige to the game,” said member of the coaching team Jason Ras-mussen. “Th e players and the community at large will recognize the fi nan-cial commitment required to elevate our program to this level and I believe the

addition of lights will fur-ther enhance the sense of pride associated with be-ing a Titan. Further, we will attract competition from programs that prefer to play Friday games and in doing so will give our players the

opportunity to play against teams that otherwise would not have come to Drum-heller to play.” President of the Drum-heller Community Football Association Mike Oster-gard adds that last season as the Titans progressed deep into the post season, the days kept getting short-er and shorter, cutting into practice time. Th e lights will be valuable, allowing the teams more time on the fi eld when it matters most.

Ostergard said they re-ceived the lights and stan-dards from Race City Speedway in Calgary. Th ey have begun a campaign to have the lights installed and are looking at raising about $40,000 to have the job done right. Newcastle Recreation As-sociation has stepped up to be one of the fi rst donors to the project and has present-ed the Football Association with a donation of $2,000. Bill Davidson, president of the Newcastle Recre-ation Association challeng-es other supporters of com-munity football to step up to the plate and match the donation. For more information on Drumheller Community Football, or to donate to the light project, contact Oster-gard at 403-321-0202.

Members of the Drum-heller Fire Department were honoured for their achievements two week-ends ago at the Annual Stag and Awards presentation night. Firefi ghters and their families were treated to dinner and then the awards presentations were made. Th e Mayor's Trophy for highest attendance went to one of the newest members of the Department, Mitch Farmer. “I was surprised with the attendance trophy. Th ere are a lot of fi refi ghters who put in high attendance,” said Farmer. Th e Mayor's Trophy was created in 1982 and has had a recipient every year since. It goes to the fi refi ghter with the highest percentage of emergency call respons-es in one year. Not only did Farmer re-ceive the Mayor's Trophy, he was presented with his pewter mug, engraved with his name and the year he joined the department. Th e mug is a tradition for mem-bers who complete their six month probation period. “I got my mug and that was a great moment,” said Farmer. “I’m very proud to be in the Drumheller Fire Department. To be wel-comed in, get my mug, and win the attendance trophy was a very exciting night.” Farmer was inspired to join last year through grandfather and fi re chief Bill Bachynski. “I grew up seeing him and the department and joined a year ago,” said Farmer “I love it, I can’t get enough. Th ere’s nothing else like it.” Bob Boyce, another new member, was presented with his mug as well. Merv Smith, who has been with the department for eight years was awarded the Rollie Yavis Trophy for oustanding achievement. “I was quite surprised and I appreciate it very much,” said Smith. “He was well deserving of the award,” said Bachynski. “It was an unanimous deci-sion that it be awarded this year.” Th e trophy was named in honour of long time fi re de-partment captain Rollie Ya-

vis. Th e trophy was created last year and it was agreed upon by the offi cers that it would only be awarded when someone was deserv-ing of it. “Whoever is deserving would be someone who goes above and beyond, by helping other fi refi ghters or organizing events for ex-ample,” explained Bachyn-ski. Two other members were present with long time ser-vice awards from the Prov-ince of Alberta. Nick Schin-nour and Rod Audy have been with the department for 12 years and were pre-sented with their medals and signed certifi cates from Premier Alison Redford. Th e annual event, which has been a long tradition in the department, gives the chance for fi refi ghters to be recognized for their tremendous contributions to the department and the community as a whole.

When residents looked out of their homes or went to their ve-hicles on Monday evening, they were treated to some mischief from Old Man Winter. For the girls Dynos basketball team, the prank went too far. Th is week the Dynos would have competed to qualify for zone championships. Th eir fi rst game was on Monday in Co-chrane. Like so many other Albertans that evening, the team saw the road conditions and made the choice to stay home. “We had to forfeit the game. We couldn’t travel to Cochrane, because of the weather,” said head coach Ryan Hatch. “Th ey were seeded higher than us, so they win the forfeit.” Th e choice to forfeit the game was made especially bit-ter, because now their season is over. Th e second round of zones began Wednesday eve-ning and the Dynos didn’t have a chance to make up Monday’s game. “I think we made the right decision, even though some of the girls were disappointed.

For a couple, this was their last game,” said Hatch. Th e Dynos were in Condor this past weekend for their last tournament of the season. Th e Dynos lost all three games they played. However, it wasn’t just the other teams that the Dynos had to contend with. “Th e other teams were al-ready gearing up for playoff s, but we were just getting back into the swing of things,” said Hatch. On Friday, the Dynos faced Acme, their league rival and a powerful team. Th e Dynos couldn’t get a handle on the Acme squad and were defeated. Acme would eventually go on to win the tournament. “Our game against Acme would have been a really good game, but the calls were a bit suspect. Th e girls got so frus-trated they started to foul.” Th e calls were lopsided and, to many observers (including parents from Acme), nonsensi-cal. Th e next day, Hatch was warned by the referee that the Dynos were on thin ice. “Th e referee didn’t give us much of a chance on the next

game, but they played with a lot of dignity,” said Hatch. Th e Dynos went up against Rimbey and the host school, David Th ompson, the next day. “Th ey played the next couple of games well,” said Hatch. “It was a tough tournament for the girls.” Now that the basketball sea-son has ended the girls will be moving on to other sports or fi nishing up their school year. “It was a good season. I think people were surprised. We came home with a big win this year and we had some really close games, whereas in years past we didn’t. Th ere were a lot of positives this year.” Th ree Dynos will be gradu-ating this year. Th e remaining girls have expressed interest in continuing and there is room for players coming up and from multiple schools. Th is year, Dynos included students from both DVSS and St. Anthony’s. “We came together quite well,” said Hatch. “As long as we have girls from either school wanting to play basketball, we’ll make sure they can play,”

Darby Andrus jumps to block a shot in the Dynos game against Acme during a tournament this past weekend in Condor. The Dynos were victims of a harsh referee and lost their three games in the tourna-ment. On Monday, the Dynos were forced to forfeit their fi rst zone qualifying game due to the abysmal weather and road conditions, bringing an end to the girls basketball season.

Winter blast freezes Dynos zone hopes


It was a barnburner last Tues-day night as the DVSS Junior High Boys took on the Prairie Christian Academy Sabres for the Golden Hills League champi-onship. Th e team had split this sea-son during league play, and both teams came prepared to face off at DVSS. Th e game was back and forth from the beginning. Th e Sabres led by fi ve points after the fi rst quarter, but the Dynos were able to go in to the half leading 33-29. PCA had a strong third quar-ter and were up 43-37 going into the last period. Th e Dynos chipped away and held off the Sabres with strong team defense and a three pointer by Jordie Andrew put the Dynos on top 44-43. PCA went up but Sam Brown responded with an-other three going up 47-45. PCA tied again with 1:34 remaining and an untimely foul with 26 sec-onds left allowed the Sabres to

pull ahead by one. Th e DYNOS came back with a 3 pointer at the buzzer but it fell short. Brown led the way with 16 points, Adam Shymanski, Jordie Andrew and Tracker Robinson each had 9 points. “I heard this was the fi rst time in at least 15 years we have hosted the league championship, so it is awesome,” said coach Al Molzan. Th is ends the season for the Dynos. Coach Al Molzan said the team was hampered by an in-jury as a sprained ankle kept Matt Th omas out of the game. Nonetheless the team had a strong season, fi nishing league play in fi rst place and a strong showing at zones. Th ey also claimed the consolation trophy at their home tourney. Molzan says the future looks strong for the Junior High team as he is only losing four players who are going up to the senior high level. “We have a pretty good nucle-us of Grade eights to work with,” said Molzan.

Heartbreaker for junior high Dynos

BREAK

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, others are wondering if you are up to the challenge of doing something different and out of your comfort zone. This seems like just your style this week.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, butting heads in a confl ict is easy, but it's not so easy to let things slide like water off a duck's back. You will earn greater respect for being nonconfrontational.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, work on rebuilding a relationship that may once have taken a backseat to more pressing matters. You never know when you need to call in a favor.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, your stubbornness appears once you set your mind to something and get to the task at hand. This can have its pros and cons, especially at work.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you have exerted all your energy and now you're looking to lessen the workload. Now could be the time to delegate some of your responsibilities to others.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, accepting help is not a weakness. While you may want to be an independent person, accept the help others have generously offered.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, sometimes you want to play the role of the savior. While your efforts are generous, not everyone will accept your advice or your gestures.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Pick your battles, Scorpio, because not everything will necessarily go your way. There is no point in creating extra stress and grief for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, relax and open up to the ones you love. You may be surprised just how fulfi lling and liberating this can feel, especially when you do it frequently.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, lean on friends and family when a diffi cult situation presents itself. Not everything has to be a secret this week; you can use some support.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, expect to see everything in black and white in the days ahead. This is alright, just avoid taking this perspective to the extreme. Sometimes you have to have faith.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, things are changing all around you and you'll get left behind if you don't make some attempts to catch up.

Th is past weekend marked the end of another round of playoff action for several of the Drumheller Minor Hock-ey Raptors. At its conclusion, three of the four Raptors who entered the weekend will con-tinue on their playoff march. Th e DMHA Novice Rap-tors, who had come off a big win against Strathmore the previous weekend, were going into game 3, where the winner would take all. By the end of the second period it was a stalemate, tied at 3-3. In the third period, Strathmore turned up the heat and scored 4 unanswered goals. Th e Novice Raptors couldn’t break the Strathmore defence and their playoff run was ended. Pliva explained that despite the season having ended, it doesn’t mean they’ll stop play-ing. “We’re not done. We’re go-ing to have a couple more ex-hibition games and have some fun,” said head coach Tony Pli-va. “We learned a lot, the kids and parents were great, it was a fun year.” Th e Hi-Way 9 Pee Wee Raptors had a break this past

weekend. Th ey’ll be back in action tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. in High River, followed by a home game in Hussar on Sun-day at 12:15 p.m. Th e Boston Pizza/Western Chevrolet Bantam Raptors are starting their next round this weekend after defeating Med-icine Hat this past Saturday. Th e Bantam Raptors be-gan their dominance early in the game, scoring four un-answered goals by the time Medicine Hat could respond at 6:19 into the second period. Medicine Hat struggled to come back, but the Bantam Raptors held them off and won 7-4. Th e Bantam Raptors will be up against Claresholm this weekend. Th e fi rst game starts at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday at the Drumheller Memorial Arena. For the Bertram Drilling/Sports Room Midget Raptors, their series victory over High River could not have been any closer. On Saturday the Midget Raptors were in High River hoping to win the second game and series. During the fi rst period, the teams were neck and neck, exchanging goals. Th e two teams headed into the fi rst in-

termission with a 3-3 tie. High River came out for the second period with a vengeance, scoring fi ve un-answered goals. Th e Midget Raptors couldn’t catch up and lost 8-5. Th e next day was a must win situation for the Midget Raptors. A loss would remove them from the playoff s. After two periods, the out-look for the Midget Raptors was looking grim. High River had taken a 4-1 lead. Th e Midget Raptors battled back and in the fi nal minute were down by one goal. In the dying seconds, during a scramble in front of the High River net, one of the opposing defencemen cupped the puck in his hands in the hopes of getting a rather unsportsman-like victory. Th e referees saw the deception and awarded the Raptors with a penalty shot with 1.1 seconds left in the game. Th omas Ahner, who had scored four of the Raptors goals that afternoon, was giv-en the shot and scored. Th e game was headed to overtime. What transpired in over-time is hard to believe. “We had a player in the pen-alty box and just as it expired

Mitch Toff an fl icked the puck off the glass, hit a High River player in the helmet, the puck went way up in the air, and then landed in front of Spen-cer Fournier who went on a breakaway and scored,” said head coach Darren Toff an. Th e win means the Midget Raptors are heading to the next round of playoff s. Th e team will be playing tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Hussar against

Okotoks. Th e Midget Raptors had beaten Okotoks 8-0 in their previous meeting, though they’ll be facing a diff erent team. Okotoks had defeated the top team in the league in the fi rst round of playoff s. For more information about minor hockey, check out www.drumhellerminorhockey.com.

Spencer Fournier charges through the High River defence in Sun-day’s do or die contest to determine who will head to the next round of league playoffs. The Bertram Drilling/Sports Room Midget Rap-tors, after being down by three goals after the fi rst period, battled back to win 7-6. The Midget, Boston Pizza/Western Chevrolet Ban-tam, and Hi-Way 9 Pee Wee Raptors will be heading to the next round of playoffs this weekend.

DVSS hosts senior boys tournament this weekend


Fans of DVSS basketball will have a chance to cheer on their team as they march into the post

season this weekend. Th is year the Senior Boys DVSS Dyno's are hosting the Zone Tournament to determine which teams from the area will go on to the provincial tourna-ment. And while the Dynos are rid-

ing high with a top ranking in the zone and second overall ranking at the provincial level for 2A bas-ketball, it is not a foregone con-clusion. “We have to focus on taking care of the ball and playing good team defense,” said head coach Jeff Messom, discussing the keys for the Dynos. Th e slate of teams includes Hanna, Oyen, St. Joseph’s Col-legiate of Brooks, Strathcona Tweedsmuir of Okotoks, Holy Cross of Strathmore, Hugh Sutherland School of Carstairs and Prairie Christian Academy (PCA). Th e competition will be strong. Th is year the Dynos were suc-cessful in beating the Holy Cross team, who is ranked third in the Zone, twice. PCA is another strong team, with a fi fth overall provincial ranking. Th e Dynos have a 2-1 record versus PCA. “I think it is a pretty competi-tive fi eld and it is going to come down to which team has every-

thing working for them,” said Messom. DVSS will fi rst take the court tonight (Friday) at 6:15 p.m. ver-sus Hanna. If they are successful,

they will play the winner of St. Joseph’s Collegiate and Oyen Sat-urday morning at 11:45 p.m. Th e championship game is Saturday night at 6:15 p.m.

Dragon chosen for AJHL all-rookie teamMichael James| inSide Drumheller

Tye Hand who began his AJHL career with the Drum-heller Dragons this past season has been given a special hon-our. Th e rookie was named to the AJHL’s CCM southern division all-rookie team. Th e fi rst all-rookie team was created in 1996 as a way to rec-ognize the top rookie players. Coaches and general managers from all over the league meet each year to discuss who merits inclusion. “Th e team was developed as a way for the AJHL to rec-ognize the performance of it’s top rookies,” explained Charla Flett, AJHL communications and online statistician.

Th is year, Hand, a defence-man, was named to the team due to his growth as a player and his dedication. For Hand, being allowed to learn with the Dragons contributed to his big year. “I think that paying atten-tion to detail, learning from the coach and the veteran defence-men helped me out a lot this year,” explained Hand. Hand’s fi rst game with the Dragons was on November 18 and he played 25 games this season. Being named to the team and receiving such recognition for his eff orts has been exciting for Hand. “It’s a great honour to be named to the team. I could never have done it without my teammates,” said Hand.

Only the rim could get in Jordan Brit-ton’s way as he lays the ball up at a pep rally for the DVSS Dynos in anticipation of the Zone tourna-ment this week-end. The Dynos are hosting the tournament and are the number one seed. They are set to hit to court tonight at 6:15 p.m.
