Drugs blamed for Christmas Eve inmate deaths Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The toxicology reports for two inmates at the Drumheller Institution who died Christmas Eve showed toxic amounts of the drug Fentanyl in their systems. Shortly after 3 a.m. on December 24, 2011 during cell checks, an inmate named Nicholas Whynott was found unresponsive in his cell. Correctional officers entered the cell, staff initiated treatment and EMS was dispatched. Whynott was pronounced deceased at the Drumheller Health Centre. The 24 year old was serving a six-year sentence for drug charges. RCMP were called to at-

tend at the Institution and while they were investigating, a second inmate was found to be unresponsive. Derek Upton was taken to the Drumheller Health Centre where he was later pronounced dead. Upton was 35 years old and was serving a life sentence for murder. Corporal Mike Black told inSide Drumheller the toxicology has been completed and both had toxic levels of Fentanyl in their bodies. Fentanyl is a synthetic opiate and painkiller. It is known to be similar in action, but more potent than morphine. These two deaths followed less than two weeks after Dang Akays Dang was found

unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead at the Drumheller Health Centre. It appears his death was selfinflicted. As with all in-custody deaths, a fatality inquiry will be held. Corrections Services Canada also said in a press release at the time of the deaths, it would also review the circumstances surrounding the incidents.

ers could receive a tax credit for up to $500 for anything they purchase themselves for school. “There are teachers across this province who take that extra step for kids,” said Redford. “When they do pay money out of pocket to make that experience a little bit better, we’re acknowledging and thanking them.” For examples, Redford listed teachers who buy a student in need lunch, or special art or teaching supplies. Basically, any out of pocket expense, not connected to the curriculum, that enhances the school experience for students. Redford also highlighted the PC pledge to invest in education further by building 50 new schools in the province in four years and reinvigorating 70 schools.

“...so that everyone can go to school in their own community and know that schools are a safe place, connected to the community that allows kids to grow and thrive,” said Redford. “This election is about choice and we have chosen to support public education, schools, and build schools, because that’s what builds community.” After making the announcement Redford stepped into PC candidate Jack Hayden’s campaign office in downtown Drumheller, where she took the time to speak one-on-one

Two Drumheller Institution inmates who died Christmas Eve were found to have toxic levels of Fentanyl in their systems.

Redford unveils $500 teacher tax credit in Drumheller visit Michael James | inSide Drumheller

Progressive Conservative party leader, Alison Redford, paid a visit to Drumheller on Thursday, April 5, and announced a new tax credit for Albertan teachers who use personal funds to enhance student's experience at school. When Redford stepped off her campaign bus, she was greeted by supporters and media. She then addressed the crowd. “One of the reasons we are proud to be Progressive Conservatives is because we believe investing in Albertans allows us to have public education, health care, and infrastructure that will allow communities...to not only sustain, but grow,” said Redford. Under the proposal, teach-

with residents. One of those who spoke with Redford was DVSS principal Curtis Lapierre who felt the recognition would be appreciated. “All teachers spend their own money for things for the classroom and their kids. Teachers have always done this,” said Lapierre. “I think teachers will see it as a nice sentiment that there is recognition that the teachers do spend quite a bit of money every year in support of kids and their education.” Redford is the second party

leader to stop in Drumheller during the election campaign. Mayor Terry Yemen had a chance to speak with Redford and felt the appearances show Drumheller’s importance. “It seems they want to pay attention to what we have to say,” said Yemen. “It’s great to see the Premier here.” Election day is approaching fast. In less than two weeks, on Monday, April 23, Albertans will be heading to the polls in one of the most heated elections in recent history.

Local artists finalist in Folk Festival competition Michael James | inSide Drumheller

Two of the Valley’s local artists are being recognized for their songwriting talents. The Fire Coulee Bandits and Joe Vickers are finalists in the Calgary Folk Festival’s songwriting competition. The Bandits for their song Old Willie and Vickers for Into the Darkness. Into the Darkness is the first track in Vickers' newest album, “Valley Home” made for the mining centennial. The song was inspired by Vickers' great grandfather and many of the miners who came to the Valley and tells the story of an immigrant who arrives in Canada, makes his way out west to work in the coal mines. Vickers is quite excited the song was selected, especially considering he had poured so much into making the album. This will be the first solo appearance by Vickers in the competition, he had been in it twice before as part of Audio Rocketry. Vickers has also been selected to participate in a prestigious songwriting workshop run by Bill Henderson, of Chilliwack fame, and Roy Forbes. For the Bandits, this will be their first original song submitted to any competition. “Now that we’ve started to record our original material, we thought it would be nice to enter some of it into competition,” said Mike Dooley, who plays acoustic guitar. “To have a song chosen and our work recognized as a finalist is a huge honour.” Old Willie was written by lead vocalist and guitar Layne

Syvertsen several years ago. The song is about a man who lives on the road and is going through some hardship. It was also inﬂuenced by the Bandits' trip to Fernie, B.C., to play a St. Patricks Day show several years ago. When developing their original material, the Bandits wanted the song on their ﬁrst album. “It was something that we were playing around with and we knew we wanted to adapt

it for the whole band,” said Dooley. “The whole point of the song is that he’s going to keep going no matter what.” The Bandits started their career rocking the classic tunes, but have been increasing their repetoire of originals songs to the point where they are working on their ﬁrst album. The Bandits have also been attracting greater attention from out of town. “We’re starting to get a lot of attention outside of Drum-

It’s been all over the news – gold and silver are trading at record highs – and people everywhere are scrambling to cash in. We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dollars very quickly,” said ICC spokesman Dennis Couts. The ICC hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encouraged to bring in their precious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting oneon-one with each guest, the ICC specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an offer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made before 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934. The amount of the offer depends on the silver or gold content, the collectability, the rarity and the condition of the items.

We relate Easter with eggs, and since eggs come from chickens, I figure this is suitable! It is also a nice meal to serve a number of people for Easter dinner.

I adapted the original recipe to use the new Philadelphia Cream Cheese cooking sauce because I was dying to try it. Sauce: 1 can cream of chicken soup ¾ cup Swiss Cheese (or you can use cheddar or other type) ½ cup cream Mix and heat until cheese melts. Filling: 1 tub of Philadelphia Cream Cheese cooking sauce 1 tsp garlic powder 1/3 cup chopped onions 2 cups chopped, cooked chicken ½ cup grated cheddar cheese Stir all together. 2 cans Pilsbury Refrigerated Crescent Rolls 1-2 cups grated cheddar for topping

Drizzle a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan. Place the rolls seam side down in the casserole dish. Drizzle with remaining sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake at 350 for about half an hour. *If you don’t find the Cream Cheese sauce, use 4 oz . soft cream cheese and 4 Tbsp. butter plus 2-4 Tbsp. mayonnaise or whipping cream (depending on the consistency of the mixture)

Unroll the crescent rolls. Place 1 heaping Tbsp chicken mixture on each triangle, then roll starting at the thicker end.

This is a pretty rich dish. You could try substituting light cream cheese and skim milk in place of the creams, and skip the cheddar topping altogether.

Council Notes From the regular meeting of Town Council

April 10, 2012 â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Mayor Terry Yemen opened Council by proclaiming April 28, 2012 the Workers' Compensation Board Day of Mourning in remembrance of workers who have been killed, injured, or disabled in their place of work. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ A public hearing was held in regards to Bylaw 04.12, that would amend the Land Use Bylaw, 10.08, by redesignating a portion of the area on 9 St NW, on the northern bank of the Red Deer River, from a Country Residential (CR) to an R1. The change would create a new lot, and enlarge several others. Councillor Doug Stanford left the hearing due to a conflict of interest. A representative from Palliser explained that the redesignation is consistent with the Land Use Bylaw and recommended a third reading. From the gallery, Jay O'Dwyer, who lives along the same street, opposed the change. He felt there should be a strategic plan in place, the change is inconsistent with the area, and a thorough and proper job be done on any future subdivision. Councillor Andrew Berdahl asked if an area structure plan was needed in this case. CAO Ray Romanetz replied the plan is only required in areas designated Urban Transitional (UT). Councillor Berdahl commented the owner of the land being subdivided went through the proper steps in asking for the change, but cautioned that he should work closely with the Town and his neighbours. Councillor Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk asked why the area is still CR. It was explained that under such a designation there is potential for uses of the land in the future, such as a public area. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ After the hearing was concluded the agenda and minutes from the last Council meeting were adopted. Councillor Berdahl requested direction from Council for the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) to encourage the commission. Council was then informed by CAO Romanetz that a landscape architect would soon be brought to town. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ A request was made by the Drumheller Library board to appoint Darlene Raketti to the Marigold Library System Board. The motion was carried. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ A motion was made for a second reading of Bylaw 04.12. Councillor Stanford once again excused himself from the meeting. Councillor Tom Zariski asked if Council could send Bylaw 04.12 back to the MPC with a request to include an area structure plan. CAO Romanetz replied that Council could oppose further readings, but the process would have to start again from scratch. Both second and third readings were carried. Councillor Sharel Shoff asked the owner of the land to carefully plan any future developments. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ The public portion of the meeting was ended. Council then continued with an in-camera matter.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming!

How to flood proof your home Homeowners know no home is perfect. While the notion of a dream house is nice, every home eventually experiences a problem or two. Many problems are bound to occur sooner or later, but there are a few that diligent homeowners can prevent. One of those preventable problems is ďŹ&#x201A;ooding. Any home with ďŹ&#x201A;oor drains or plumbing ďŹ xtures below street level can ďŹ&#x201A;ood, and this can be due to inclement weather, such as heavy rainstorms, local sewer system backup, or groundwater swelling. Flooding can even happen in the spring when melting occurs as the air temperature increases. While homeowners won't be able to control the weather,

they can take steps to ďŹ&#x201A;oodproof their home. * Do some preventive landscaping. If the ground around the home's foundation slopes toward the house, make some grading changes so that the ground slopes away from the home. * Insulate the heating ducts. Some home heating ducts are under the basement ďŹ&#x201A;oor. In such homes, homeowners should make sure these ducts are properly insulated and watertight. * Make sure the vents all lead outside the home. The weather can cause moisture issues, but some moisture problems can come from inside the home as well. Clothes dryers and bathrooms are both in-

ternal moisture sources, and these sources should always be vented outside the home. * Clean gutters and downspouts. Gutters and downspouts should be cleaned to ensure water is eďŹ&#x20AC;ectively being diverted away from the home. Clean gutters and downspouts in the spring after a long winter, and do so again in the fall to keep fallen leaves from blocking the ďŹ&#x201A;ow of water. Downspouts should extend four feet from the outside wall of the house. * Inspect the home at least once a year. Before buying a home, buyers often hire a professional inspector to ensure the home is safe and sound. But the inspections should not stop once buyers sign on

Jackie Friedley Garden Designs

Well I am sure by now some of you have started some seeds in the house and are watching to see what grows. Good for you because I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done any thing yet. I will try and get you started if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already with some info on starting Marigold seeds at home. The Latin Names: Tagetes erectus tall marigolds Tagetes patula short marigolds Triploids are a cross between the two mentioned above Two others that where listed are: Asteraceae and Candula which I am not sure about but they are possibly in the same family Marigolds originated in Mexico and have been hybridized to produce many types of flowers and many different heights. The seed can be sown outside a week or so before the last frost or started in the house. Germination of most kinds only takes 3 to 5 days and they normally grow quite quickly so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in too big a hurry to get them going. You will need something for a seed tray; lots of varieties are sold in the stores or I have used milk cartons cut down the center and they also seem to work. Just make sure they are washed out really well and maybe run them through a bleach water solution. Get a nice potting soil that has a good quantity of vermiculite in it and fill your seed trays. Sprinkle the seed on top, trying not to get them too thick as they are easier to transplant later on. Water lightly and then cover with a little more soil and water again. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be kept really wet just damp. Usually any of the seeds you purchase have some kind of instructions on the back of the package. Place in a warm, bright place and you will see the seeds sprout before you know it. Let them get at least four leaves on them be-

fore you try and transplant them. They can be put in nearly anything, but make sure you plant them down in the soil so they only have the leafs showing. This will make them a bit stronger in the end and they should get a good root system going before you have to put them outside. They should likely have a couple of weeks in their new little pots before setting them outside. I would usually try and give them sometime outside in their pots before actually setting them outside as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot different environment outside than in. The rule of thumb around here is the long weekend in May but I know folks have done it sooner and then are able to cover things up if the danger of frost or snow is forecast. Again planting them in well prepared soil is best but really they will grow nearly anywhere. They need full sun and try not to let them dry out for the first while after transplanting to give them a chance to get their roots established. Marigolds are said to be good companion plants for a lot of our garden vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes and roses. There are others that are listed but folks seem to disagree on them so I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listed them. They repel nematodes, aphids, beet leaf hoppers and eelworms to name a few. They are also said to product a pesticide chemical from their roots that last after the plants themselves are gone. It is suppose to be able to inhibit the growth of some weeds but it may also inhibit the growth of some tender herbs so watch for that if you are an herb grower. This is apparently why it will discourage the eelworms also. Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about it for now so have fun planning the garden and try to plant a few marigolds. If you have a gardening question for Jackie, just send it by email to jackie.friedley@gmail. com.

the dotted line. To prevent ďŹ&#x201A;ooding, homeowners should inspect their home's foundation for cracks once a year. If the home has a chimney and ďŹ replace, check for cracks there as well. If any cracks are discovered, consult a professional immediately. * Clean out basement drains. Basement drains should be cleaned annually from the house to the street. If the drains are still slow after cleaning, then clean them more than once a year. * When leaving the home for

an extended period of time, turn the water valve oďŹ&#x20AC;. Homeowners worried about ďŹ&#x201A;ooding can calm those fears when going on vacation or another long trip by turning the water valve oďŹ&#x20AC; at the source. This ensures that, should a line break while no one is home, water will not pump into the house. FloodprooďŹ ng a home can save homeowners from potentially costly repairs and unsightly damage to a home's interior.

TIP Did you know? Ecoscaping is a growing trend among homeowners who want to take care of their lawns and landscapes but want to do so in a way thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environmentally friendly. Integrating both landscape architecture and spatial planning with environmental science, ecoscaping is meant to help homeowners create a sustainable and eco-friendly landscape design. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural to assume that ecoscaping includes looking for ways to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, but there are many additional ways homeowners can embrace ecoscaping. This includes removing or refusing to plant invasive plants that are diďŹ&#x192;cult to control because they are from diďŹ&#x20AC;erent ecosystems and can threaten local wildlife and existing plants. Instead of choosing exotic plants that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t native to the area, choose native plants that are accustomed to the local climate. Another way to embrace ecoscaping is to develop a planting strategy wherein plants are planted in beneďŹ cial growing conditions that can eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and excessive watering.

Drumheller RCMP have arrested a woman in relation to a robbery Monday night at S&S News. At about 9:40 p.m., RCMP responded to a report of armed robbery at S&S News in downtown Drumheller. A female suspect entered the convenience store, informed the employee she had a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk complied with the demand and the female left the store on a bicycle. This female abandoned the bicycle after a short distance and then left the area on foot. The suspect escaped with an undisclosed amount of money.

Library brings back full service during grand opening Michael James | inSide Drumheller

opening. The event will be the first chance for residents to check out the new Library. During the day, residents can be given a tour, there will be childrens crafts, coffee, muffins, and a cake cutting at 1:30 p.m. to celebrate. The move for the Library has been drawn out longer than

had been originally planned. The plan prior to the facility being opened, was that the Library would open with the rest of the building. “We had shelving complications and it’s hard to control that,” explained Melissa D’Onofrio-Jones, director of library services. “Without shelves, we couldn’t unpack. But, the new shelves look good.” The shelves had to be painted and shipped to the Library, but delays pushed back unpacking. Some of the shelves only arrived on Monday, April 9. With the delays, library staff only began shelving the massive collection of books on Monday. By the next day, the majority of the books had already found their homes on the shelves. This is the first time D’Onofrio-Jones had been involved in moving an entire library collection. “I’ve never moved a library before. This was an interesting experience early in my career,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. “It’s been as good as can be expected, it’s been a big move. I think the end product is great. It’s a library Drumheller can be proud of.” Library staff had packed most of the collection at the

end of February and then Town of Drumheller crews began moving boxes over to the new facility in the beginning of March. Since the move began, the Library has been running partial service out of the Civic Centre. Rougly 300 books remained and residents were able to order books in from other libraries. “It went smoothly. I think the public appreciated being able to order anything from 200 plus libraries. I’m glad we did it, because we would have been closed if we didn’t have partial

service,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. D’Onofrio-Jones went on to explain the downside was that programs had to be halted while the move was happening. The new location has a lot to oﬀer, improving markedly beyond the Civic Centre location. “Come and see the new Drumheller Public Library,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. “It oﬀers a lot of opportunities with the programs rooms, larger space, and reading areas. We’re excited to settle in and provide regular service.”

Brush fire near Horseshoe Canyon At 9:15 a.m., Wednesday morning, fire crews responded to a brush fire that had broken out roughly 2 km northwest of the Horseshoe Canyon lookout point. The Drumheller, Dalum, Rosebud, Kneehill County, and Rockyford Fire Departments arrived on scene to extinguish the blaze. The task was made more difficult due to the dense brush and the steep terrain. Crews quickly got control of the blaze and remained on scene afterwards to take care of hot spots. inSide photo by Michael James

Valley Trash Challenge cleaning up the town Michael James| inSide Drumheller

In just over a week, residents of Drumheller are encouraged to come out and show their civic pride by helping make Drumheller a cleaner place. On April 23, the day after Earth Day, Communities in Bloom, Encana, and the Royal Tyrrell Museum are sponsoring this year’s Valley Trash Challenge, where volunteers lend a hand and pick up the litter that plagues the town. All day, until 4 p.m., residents and businesses are asked to take some time, grab a garbage bag, and collect some litter that has been accumulating in the valley. Afterwards, between 4 and 6 p.m. the Heartwood Inn is hosting a barbecue with food and drinks provided by Encana. “It’s a chance for people to help the town,” said Trish Parker, president of Communities in Bloom. “I think if tourists don’t see all the trash, they’ll be more likely to stay or come back.” Across the street from the Heartwood Inn, in the area next to the recycling bins, a garbage dumpster will be provided for the bags residents fill. The Valley Trash Challenge was spawned originally from the efforts of Encana volunteers five years ago, explained Luigi Vescarelli, Community Relations Officer with Encana.

“In the spirit of our volunteer program, we looked at an event that we, and our families, could do together,” said Vescarelli. “I got in touch with the Town of Drumheller and asked if they would be receptive to us going out and cleaning up some of the garbage.” Afterwards, other organizations began similar initiatives independently. “The Museum takes pride in keeping our trails and green spaces clean and free of garbage. Earth Day is the perfect day for us to concentrate on making a diﬀerence,” said Mike Dooley, public relations and new media coordinator of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Everyone joined forces and the Valley Trash Challenge was born. Parker hopes the day will help encourage people to not litter and for residents to help keep the town litter free year round, for example cleaning up litter when walking a dog. “That’s one thing to be commended,” said Parker. Everyone is encouraged to come out, help, and enjoy the free barbecue afterwards. “It’s great to see the town supports the initiative to make our town green and as beautiful as possible,” said Dooley. “There’s that sense of pride when you look at the town and it’s cleaner,” said Vescarelli.

Committed to the community: For the last five years I have proudly served our constituency in several roles – as Minister of Infrastructure, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and most recently as the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation. While the ministerial responsibilities associated with these portfolios have been demanding, I’m most proud of the achievements that have occurred in our own backyard.

Pure Venom striking at championship season

be swinging for another grand slam of a season. The roster is largely unchanged, but does have several more players this year.

The Pure Venom softball team will be taking another swing at gold during the 2012 season which starts on April 28. Despite the slightly more frigid weather, the girls have been practicing indoors since early January. “They’re looking great this year and picking up everything we’ve been practicing,” said head coach Brent Sands. “Hopefully, we can continue with what we did last year.” Last year was an impressive season for the team. In their league, they won gold. In provincials, they won silver. In their entire 2011 season, they won all but three games, and each loss was only by a single run, including the battle for the gold medal in provincials. Although the team has been conﬁned inside for practices, they have still been able to work on vir-

tually every aspect of the game, including batting (with softer balls). This year, on top of their quest for more gold, the team will be playing in the Midget (17-19 years old) division, rather than the Bantam as in 2011. The change means quite a few new opponents as well as some old ones who have made the change as well. The change doesn’t worry Sands. “In the provincial tournament last year, they ended up playing in the under 19 category and they did quite well,” said Sands. The roster has remained the same, apart from several new recruits, including a player from Strathmore. The girls will begin the season on April 28 in Calgary.
