Ball tournament supports Fire Department, Morgan Jayne Project

The Annual Red Eye Memorial Ball Tournament, played in memory of Chris Bolin and Morgan Jayne Makowecki was another great success raising $3,090. This total was split between the Morgan Jayne Project and the Drumheller Fire Department in Chris Bolin’s name. Above Duane Bolin, left, and Lue Martinell, right, present Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Wade a cheque, a portion of the proceeds of the tournament for equipment for the Drumheller Fire Department.

St. Anthony's Schoolconstruction halted

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Construction has ground to a halt at the new St. An-thony’s School being built on North Dinosaur Trail as Christ the Redeemer School Division has fi red its contractor. Vincent Van Hyfte, as-sociate superintendent for Christ the Redeemer School Division confi rmed with inSide Drumheller that Bayview Constructors of Calgary were no longer working on the school. “We are in the process of looking for a replacement,” said Van Hyfte. “Th e good folk at Lear Construction (which is the contractor for DCHS) were kind enough to come over and help us secure the site and get it wrapped up a little better.” Christ the Redeemer Board trustee representing Drumheller, Paul Andrew also told inSide Drumheller that they have dumped the contractor. “Th ey weren’t perform-ing, they were not meeting our expectations,” Andrew said. Th e offi cial groundbreak-

ing for the project was on March 27 of last year, and came after years of working to secure funding and com-ing up with a site. At that time, Bayview Construc-tors of Calgary was named as the managing contractor. Th e construction is valued at about $13.5 million. When the contractor was named in January 2009, they expected to see the school open in Septem-ber of this year. However, delays early in the project occurred as they stabilized the site mitigating histor-ic mining remnants. Th e weather this season also slowed the project. Van Hyfte said it was both the quality of the work and the delays that prompted the school board to make the change. “Th ere were quality is-sues, a lot of things had to be reworked, and of course it was just taking forever,” said Van Hyfte. He says they are working with a bonding company to plan the next step and have talked to other contractors they have worked with in the past. “We want to fi nd some-one who is reputable and proven,” he said.

Gibbs Gage Architects designed the new St. An-thony’s School. Van Hyfte said they are overseeing the project to make sure the quality of the construction is maintained. “Th ey are excellent. Th ey are meticulous at monitor-ing and keeping track of everything… we are really lucky to have them,” said

Van Hyfte. Inside Drumheller report-ed in its October 29 edi-tion that they are looking at the end of March before construction is completed, although no move in date has been set. Van Hyfte said they hope to announce a new contractor in the near future.

Christ the Redeemer looking for new contractor

Construction on the new St. Anthony’s School is at a standstill after Christ the Redeemer School Division ended its relationship with Bay-

view Constructors. Currently they are looking for a new company to fi nish the work.

Even though continuing care patient Eva can’t speak or understand a word other than German, her face lights up as Abby struts into her hospital room to greet her with a kiss on the face as she coos. Abby, the purebred Jack Russel ter-rier owned by Vicky Hardy, has been making weekly rounds at the Drum-heller and District Health Centre for most of her two year life. “Abby has been a blessing for these patients,” says Hardy, a recreational therapy assistant who brings the dog in to work every Wednesday morning. Pets are one of the many things pa-tients give up when they move into continuing care at the health centre, and even a chance to watch a young dog sniff around alleviates pain for res-idents. “It helps them feel more at home,” says Hardy. “Th ey get all the benefi ts of having a pet with none of the work.” Eva Soukeroff is one of Abby’s favou-rite customers, always stopping by her room before heading home from her shift on the unit. “She’s friendly and quiet,” says Soukeroff , who feeds Abby treats while going for a ride in her powerchair. “She’s a very good dog.” Th is is the fi rst time that a pet has been brought into the health centre

consistently, although birds, cats, and even a baby bison have been brought in to entertain residents before. Abby's mild, easygoing, and unin-trusive temperament has made her the perfect pooch for the job. “All animals can be used for therapy, but it takes a special dog to do this weekly,” says her owner. “She just loves coming in.” Th ere has been much research into the benefi ts of having small pets around patients. In 1985, University of Pennsylvania researchers reported that stroking a dog or cat can lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Another study found that elderly people caring for a pet showed im-proved alertness. Dog owners who have suff ered a heart attack have been found to be signifi cantly less likely to die in the year following the heart at-tack compared to heart attack survi-vors who didn’t own dogs. “A lot of people who are socially iso-lated or non-verbal immediately react when they see her,” Hardy says. Loneliness may be the hardest bur-den on the ill, and having a dog as lov-ing as Abby can make a world of dif-ference for those stuck inside a health centre. Says Hardy, “Th ey have no expec-tations– they just want to sit and be loved, treating everyone equally.”

Continuing care patient Eva lights up as Abby, a purebred Jack Russel terrier, makes her weekly visit to the Drumheller Health Centre on Wednesday. Pet therapy has been the subject of much research

and the results can be seen on the faces of patients at the health centre who are of-ten forced to give up their pets when they move in for care.

Aaron Pritchett woos crowd at Stampede BarnCountry rocker Aaron Pritchett performed for the Drumheller Public Library Society fundraiser at the Stam-pede Barn last Saturday night, with over 200 people in attendance. The society is considering it a fi nancial success despite the fi nal funds not being counted. The crowd was loving the chance to see some bigger names in music come through the valley. “It allows us to reach a target audience we otherwise wouldn’t,” said Linde Turner of the public library.


Get Low screens

Monday at Napier

Th e Reel Alternative is bringing the critically ac-claimed Get Low to the Na-pier Th eatre. Felix Bush wants a reck-oning, a fi nal reckoning. He is a notorious hermit with a violent past who, one day, walks into the local funer-al parlour with a plan. He wants to throw himself a funeral, before he dies. Th is folk tale like true sto-ry takes place in the Ten-nessee back woods during the Depression, where Felix has lived fi ercely alone for over forty years. Robert Duvall pays Felix, and with actors Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek at his side, this promises to be a fi ne fi lm. Get Low is playing at the Napier Th eatre on Monday November 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $8 for library members, $9 for non-mem-bers, and are available at the Drumheller Public Li-brary, and at the door. Th e Reel Alternative is sponsored by Th e Drum-heller Library Society, Th e Napier Th eatre, and Th e Film Circuit, a division of the Toronto International Film Festival.

Whether welcome or not, Christmas is upon the valley and while households await decorat-ing trees in their living rooms, some will be dec-orated at Greentree Mall to benefi t the Friends of St. Anthony’s Society on De-cember 4. Businesses are asked to donate trees and decorations for the Fes-tival of Trees. Th en, the public will be able to blind bid on the beautifully decorated works of art to provide funds for a playground at the new St. Anthony’s school currently being constructed on North Dinosaur Trail. No funding will be provided for outdoor play equipment at the school, and the society hopes

to raise $100,000 to cover half the expected costs, with 80 per cent or more hopefully cov-ered by grants. A large property will be available to the school when constructed, with plans to utilize all they can for kid’s activities.

“We want an area which allows children to have a free play area, as well,” says society president Alexis Peppin. “We’re trying to get them the best of the best.” St. Anthony’s expects to move into the new school by April. Th e society hopes to have the play-ground in by September 2011. People with other Christmas items they wish to donate to the

auction are asked to do so by November 26, and can contact Peppin at 403-823-5344.

Rudolph isn’t the only Christmas party go-er who leaves with a red-nose, and Drumheller RCMP will have their presence known this holiday season as the tenden-cy to drive un-safely seems to be higher. Drumheller detachment Staff Sergeant Arthur Hop-kins says the local RCMP, along with assistance from traffi c services out of Strath-more, will be hosting more check-stops and will be on the lookout for unsafe drivers in the snowy conditions recently dumped on the valley. “Th ere are more celebra-tions this time of year, which have tendencies to include consumption of alcohol,” says

Hopkins, who said increased patrols will take place over the weekends. “In a perfect world, people don’t drink and drive. Take some time and think about how you’ll get home before you leave so you aren’t put in that position.”

“Plan ahead before the alco-hol becomes a problem.” Hopkins says as a general rule, less than 10 per cent of impaired drivers ever get checked. “Th e problem is that the ones where we get involved in

are the ones where accidents take place, and then it’s too late.” Winter came down hard on Drumheller this year, causing many unprepared drivers to slip and slide throughout the valley. Clearing windshields before getting on the road is essen-tial, says Hopkins, with tickets costing drivers close to $100. “People’s driving should be consistent with conditions– we have snow and ice on the roads so people should be driving accordingly.” Hopkins says to slow down, keep a safe distance between surrounding vehicles and to increase general awareness on the road. “You have to compensate for other people’s behaviour.”

Constable Jeremiah Jones is ready to check for drunk drivers this holiday season, as the Drum-heller detachment prepares for the season of fes-

tive parties which tend to increase the number of intoxicated drivers.

Such a Pretty Face by Cathy Lamb

This month, our book club had as much fun selecting toppings and creating pizza as I am sure Cathy Lamb did in choosing her characters to create this book. We enjoyed one as much as the other. This story begins with the Schizophrenic mother throwing her two young daughters and herself off a bridge. The surviving girl tells the story which goes back and forth from the early days to her present. Obviously, there are many repercussions from this childhood experience. Going to live with

an obnoxiously controlling and domineering uncle added to her trauma. All the major characters deal with and pretty well overcome the impact he had on their lives. The writing is clever with people and events being most unusual. Some were a little too unrealistic for a few members of the club, but it is simply fi ction. There are passages that, while reading, one loves to share with anyone within earshot. One of these was a canny way to compare families with tornadoes. I’ll let you read the book to take delight in some of these, rather than impair the moment.

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcomeby C. Aiello

I may have found a solution to my cash fl ow problem. Didn’t know that I had a cash fl ow problem did you? Well its not so much a matter of cash fl ow, but more a matter of lack of credit. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want an increase on the limit of my credit card, it’s plenty high already. What I do need is a line of credit to cover the amount owing on the credit card. Th at sounds dangerous, like one of those TV shows: “Fred and Wilma have been married for three years, they have two kids, two vehicles, and a $350,000 mortgage. Th ey like to go out at least three times a week, and each drives a vehicle to their separate jobs. Th eir combined monthly income is $6500, but they are spending $5000 per month, before their $2500 mortgage, leaving them $1000 in debt every month. Sound famil-iar? Credit cards are paid, one with another, or with their never ending line of credit. Familiar, frustrating and scary. Now for my solution. I happened to catch part of Dave Rutherford’s talk show one day last week. Th e topic was carbon credits and the trad-ing thereof. It sounded complex, and I didn’t get a chance to catch it all. From what I did get, it seemed that this will be the fi rst time in history that an intangible will be treated as a commodity, and traded for money. Sounds like a line from an old Dire Straits song, “Money for nothing.” It also sounds like the perfect deal for those with a bent toward fraud and scam. Most of the following comes from Th e Taxpayer, the magazine put out by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Th e European Union is the world’s largest carbon trading market. Europol, the EU’s criminal intelligence agency estimates that criminals have used the Emissions Trading System to make $7.4 billion illegally in the past 18 months. Europol says that up to 90% of the trading in some European countries is bogus. Worldwide value of carbon trading in 2009 was estimated at $132 bil-lion, but by 2020 is estimated to reach $3 trillion! Th ink of it, trading in something you can neither smell, taste, see or feel could surpass the $2 trillion traded in oil. A scam artist’s dream come true. Under a cap and trade system, a company will require a permit for the right to emit CO2. Th ese permits will be off set by others who may not use CO2 or who grow trees, or store the CO2 underground. Th e permits will be traded on exchanges, just like common shares or other commodi-ties. So, how does the fraud work? It’s quite simple really. CO2 has no val-ue, it’s the permits that are given an arbitrary, government-set price. As an intangible gas, the permits can be traded without any actual, physical transportation. A Chinese factory buys a permit from Russian tree farm. What’s to stop the Russian from selling the same permit to an Ameri-can factory? What about the bogus wind farm in South America selling permits to the oilsands? Neither seller or buyer has any real incentive to scrutinize the other. Th e sad part of this is that there is no net benefi t to the environment, Th e emitter simply buys a permit that allows him to emit, and if he wants to emit more, he buys more permits. In the end it is no more than a cash redistribution scheme that will be paid for by the taxpayer and the con-sumer. It may seem as though there is no upside, but the Alberta government is right now working on a $2 billion plan to sequester CO2. Remember that word, “sequester”. It means pumping CO2 underground, storing it. Th e province could be the holder of billions in carbon credit permits! I’m a little fuzzy on the details, but I’m sure there’s some scam artist some-where who is working them out.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, nostalgia reigns supreme when you bump into someone from your past. Enjoy the trip down Memory Lane and all the fond times the trip brings to mind.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23When someone turns to you for ad-vice, Libra, you may want to pass on saying much. Right now you really can't count on your decision-making skills. Wait a bit longer.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, it has been a waiting game for you for quite some time now and you're not one for patience. Keep your head up because things are looking like they will go your way.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, a funny thing will happen to you this week, although at the time you may not fi nd much humor in it. Be a good sport and go along with the course of events.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, a difference of opinion can quickly escalate into a war of words if you're not careful. Keep mum when others seem to be goading you into an argument.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, you are called on to be the voice of reason, but it may not be the role you were looking for this week. Relish in the idea that others look to you for support.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, projects pile up and it is time to delegate some of this work. Trust a close friend with the task of helping out.

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!

Th e Town has taken a closer look at one of the main waterlines in Drum-heller and is now awaiting a report from the contractor before it proceeds with its next step. Al Kendrick, director of Infrastructure Services for the Town of Drumheller, confi rmed with inSide Drumheller that last week a snapshot of the interior of a waterline coming from the Drumheller Water Treat-ment was taken. Th is was part of the Town’s action plan to inves-tigate and rectify some of the issues residents had this year with water clarity. He said the contractor was able to scan a portion of the waterline and en-tered east of the Walmart and headed in two direc-tions. While he was not on-site for the complete scan he said from the small bit he saw, the water line ap-peared to be in good shape physically. Th ere is nothing conclusive, however, until the town receives and re-views the report which is expected in the next few days. “When we get the report we can decide how we can clean the line,” said Kend-rick.`Th ese actions are part of the Town of Drumheller’s

medium range plan to rec-tify the situation. Th is in-cludes a visual inspection program using a camera along with other tech-niques to view the interior of the pipe and attempt to confi rm the source of the problem, continuing with further maintenance activi-ties including the clearwell and internal plumbing in the plant and investigat-ing various physical and chemical pipe cleaning processes that may include pipe swabbing, air and wa-ter scouring. In the long term they plan to develop a physical pipe cleaning program to sup-plement the fl ushing, con-tinue unidirectional fl ush-ing as needed and continue with the existing cast iron replacement program.

their eyesdeserve an optometrist

Many vision problems are reversible – and in some cases preventable

– when they’re detected early. That’s why it’s best to take your child to

the optometrist for an eye exam at six months of age, at three years, before

starting school, and every year after that. Learning is 80% visual.

Give your children the advantage of clear, healthy vision throughout

the school years. Help them see smart.

Seeing Smart


Over 300 shoeboxes were loaded up by Hi-Way 9 Wednesday afternoon, ready to be shipped to Calgary and eventually to be distributed across the world by Operation Christ-mas Child. “We’re very pleased with the response,” said coordi-nator Vi Adie. “Th ese boxes are fi lled with love – people put things in there that lit-tle kids are in need of.” In total, 362 shoeboxes were donated from church-es, businesses, schools, and the general community. Around 500 empty shoe-boxes were available. “It gives them a lift,” said coordinator Vivian Bertsch. “Some go on to become real leaders in their communi-ties while learning about Christ. It helps with their lives.”

Even though presents can seem to be extremely insignifi cant to the hard-ships endured daily by the third world, Bertsch hopes receiving these shoeboxes will allow them to feel re-membered and not forgot-ten. “It was very successful,” said Adie. “We appreciate the response we got from the community.” Drumheller has been par-ticipating in the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child for over 15 years. Last year, 520 boxes were shipped out of Drumheller. Th is year’s collection of Canadian fi lled boxes will be sent to Argentina, Bo-livia, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Par-aguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Cote D’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.

Th e Titans celebrated one of its overall best seasons on record at its annual dinner and awards night. Th e Stampede Barn was chock full of footballers and their fami-lies as they said goodbye to the 2010 season on Sunday, November 14. And what a season it was. Th e Drumheller Communi-ty Football Association saw 60 players suited up on the bantam and senior teams. For the bantams, the team had their fi rst playoff win, and they went further than any other bantam team. For the seniors, they started the season in San Diego to play in international competition. Back in Canada, the team made it all the way to

the provincial tournament, but could not get past the number one ranked team in the province. Off the fi eld, the team completed its new locker room and offi ce space. What started as a couple of ATCO modular trailers, has

turned into a grade A team facility modelled on the University of Calgary Dinos facility. Th e project enjoyed strong support from major donors including Cenovus, Encana and ATCO Electric, as well as labour from the

Drumheller Institution. Th e night however was for the players who battled throughout the season. Th ey were honoured for their performance on the fi eld as well as how they grew as stu-dent athletes.

The St. Anthony’s Sabres senior boys basketball team hopes to defend their zone championship,

and then add a provincial banner this season.inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Sights set high for Sabres basketball Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Last basketball season the St. Anthony’s Sabres senior boys made school history by making it to the provincial tournament. Th is year they are setting their sights just as high. While the team has shrunk in numbers, at its core is the roster that won St. Anthony’s the 1A South Central Zone Championship and a place at the provincial tournament. Th e team lost one player from last season who graduat-ed, while two other key com-ponents of last year’s squad have moved away. It leaves a veteran squad as well as some additional height and talent coming up. With a shorter bench, it means it will take the

whole team to contribute to its success. Th is year they have added to the coaching staff as Dan Patterson, who began this year teaching at St. Anthony’s ,is able to off er a competitive edge. Th e team has a rigorous schedule ahead. Th is season it is able to compete in the Golden Hills League as Car-bon School will not be putting a team in the court. Other teams in the league include DCHS, Acme, Prairie, Trochu and Th ree Hills. Th ey have also lined up exhibition games and tour-nament play including the seventh annual Sabres Invita-tional in early January. A win at their home tourney would complete a three-peat.


Th e St. Anthony’s senior girls volleyball team topped of their season with a trip to zones last weekend in Bas-sano. While their opponents outmatched them, their play earned them respect from their opponents and coach. “Th e bottom line is they ac-tually played the best volley-ball they played all year,” said coach Heather Colberg. “Th at was a huge accomplishment. It was everything I could have hoped for. I was actually in tears, I was so happy with the way they played.” Th e team had been playing above and beyond expecta-tions all season. Th e previous week they won the consola-tion trophy at regionals to earn their spot at zones. To make it to the tournament it-self was an accomplishment “We were literally playing with a Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 10 and three Grade 12 players, and we were going up against

teams that were all Grade 11 and 12,” said Colberg. “Th ey put everything together when they needed it. It was a great moment. As a coach, that is what you want.” While they are a young

squad, they are looking for-ward to improving even more next season. “We’re going to fi ght to win zones next season,” said Col-berg.

Sabres Volleyball caps off strong season

The St. Anthony’s Senior Sabres volleyball team competed in zones in Bassano last weekend, and while they were not successful, they played their best volleyball of the season, according to coach Heather Colberg.
