Due to public dissatisfaction of the parallel parking on both sides of 3rd Avenue between 1st Street and 2nd Street downtown, town council has decided to reinstate angle parking for the summer months. Council went in camera at Monday night’s council meeting and returned to open council to pass the changes. Businessman Doug Wade told inSide Drumheller council has made this decision to benefit the businesses and residents, and also to accommodate the summer tourism visitors. “I have been involved in this since the beginning and have always believed that angle parking is the best situation for all concerned,” said Wade. “Having said that, downtown merchants are baffled with the flip flop by town council and question if the changes will become permanent.”

inSide STREETERS Task force recommends $10k raise for Mayor Yemen inSide Drumheller staff aren't the only pranksters in town, so this week we asked a few locals, “What was the best April Fool’s prank you’ve ever pulled?”
Terry-Lynne Moore
Council will vote on whether to approve a raise for the mayor’s position after a citizen group tasked to review elected officials' compensation recommended Mayor Terry Yemen be paid just over $10,000 more per year. The Elected Official Numeration Task force, chaired by Bob Hannah, recommended Yemen be paid $35,000 a year, after comparing his salary to 11 other communities of similar size. The mayor’s position currently pays $24,255 a year, including expense allowances.

Dillan Blasken “Challenged a coworker to a water chugging contest and put salt in hers.”
Jenn Eskeland “Saran wrap on the toilet seat, so when my brother peed it sprayed everywhere.”
The recommendations brought to council on March 28 will be either put into effect or denied at the April 11 town council meeting. Task force member Irv Gerling told inSide Drumheller the town’s head position was, on average, 25 per cent underpaid compared to the other municipalities. The salary includes a general expense allowance. After a new council is elected every three years, citizens are appointed to the task force to review compensation of the elected officials.
“We didn’t go after this. We’re just following through with what the bylaw said, and this is the recommendation that came through from the people of Drumheller.” “I was surprised to see how far behind Drumheller has fallen compared to other communities,” says Yemen. Gerling said, “There’s more transparency compared to talking to provincial bodies or MLAs, where they automatically vote themselves whatever they want with no public input. “From almost a democratic or transparency view, they are accepting information from an unbiased group. We were looking at what’s fair from other municipal bodies of similar size,” says Gerling. Gerling said the councillors' compensation is on par with other communities. Typically in other towns, Gerling said the mayor is paid 1.9 times what councillors make. Councillors are currently being paid $16,135.00, including general expense allowance. “That was another angle we looked at when we were reviewing the salary,” he said. The communities which salaries were compared to were Beaumont, Edson, High River, Hinton, Lacombe, Olds, Panoka, Rocky Mountain House, Sylvan Lake, Stettler, and Taber.
Parking flip flop The switch over came Friday morning, April 1. Mayor Yemen admitted it was foolish when town council made the changes, and won’t fall for the same shenanigans again... unlike some of those who are still reading. Happy April Fools Day!
“It was the busy tax season at work, so everyone put their letters of resignation on the table and went for lunch.”

vitalization to the East Coulee School Museum in how they operate and programs they’ll offer, Nolan says. SpringFest, which brought in nearly $12,000 for the museum last year, is instrumental in changing the way the school museum works.
“We have every single genre except rap and heavy metal, but if we found a metal act with a fiddle and a banjo we’d accept them too.”
QUOTE
The most significant fundraiser for the East Coulee School Museum is fast approaching as the line-ups have been set for the 17th annual East Coulee Sprin Fest. On Saturday, April 16, a list of 28 bands stretching across genres of folk, country bluegrass, rock, and eclectic acts such as gypsy and Celtic will take stage in East Coulee. “We have every single genre except rap and heavy metal, but if we found a metal act with a fiddle and a banjo we’d accept them too,” laughs Brent Nolan, president of the Dinosaur Valley Heritage Society and one of two organizers who narrowed down the list of 65 band applications. Local bands are made to be sure they have room, but bigger acts who brought the house down last year will return. For nearly two decades, fans in Drumheller and ones from across Alberta will gather in East Coulee
for 12 straight hours of music. Bands from as far away as Toronto are travelling to donate their time and money to the event. Nolan believes it’s the charm of East Coulee and the no-strings-attached music which drives them to put out the effort. “When you take the money, the lawyers, the waivers out of the equation, it becomes kind of magical,” he said. Nolan said about half of the festival attendees are from Drumheller, while the other half travels from as far as Edmonton to take in the sights and sounds. The demographic of previous years has seen people in the ages of 40-50 dominate the crowd, with the 2030 year olds peaking as well. They are trying to appeal to the younger crowds at this year’s event. They’ll be conducting geological tours out of the East Coulee School Museum. This year will bring a re-

“We’ll be focusing on things we do well, and changing to seasonal operation,” Nolan said, adding they plan to host smaller SummerFest and FallFest events this year. Nolan said this year SpringFest organizers have not been successful in getting accommodations donated as they have in past years.

Photographer Lawrence Chrismas to release book on May Day New work celebrates Drumheller miners and history Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
In conjunction with the centennial of coalmining in the valley, another celebration of the industry that built Drumheller is happening on the pages of a new book. Lawrence Chrismas has been documenting mining and miners through photographs across Canada for decades. At the Drumheller May Day Celebrations, he will be releasing his latest work, called Coal in the Valley: Drumheller Miner Photographs and Stories. “It is sort of a commemorative book,” Chrismas told inSide Drumheller. “This is the first book I have devoted exclusively to the valley and the people I have photographed over the years. It has been a 30 year project.” Fresh out of university he went to work the Department of Mines and Energy. He came to the valley for the first time in 1969. In 1979, he was in Canmore when the last coal mine was closed. There he met men who worked for the same mining company upwards of 50 years, who were now watching the industry die. This was the start of what became his life project. His first work was a national project where he photographed people from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island. The first place he documented

was the community of Minto in New Brunswick. “It grew from there, I realized I was doing something of considerable historic value and people we enjoying my photographs and stories of the miners,” he said. He relocated to Calgary from Ottawa in 1980 and shortly thereafter began coming out to the valley to photograph and interview. He purchased a miner’s shack in Cambria, which he still owns and uses as a base when he comes to the valley. Over the years, he has interviewed and photographed more than 4,000 miners and their families. His body of work includes CoalDust Grins, which was shortlisted for the Roloff Beny Photography Book award. He also produced a music CD to ac-
company the work. He has also published books on the miners of Minto, Canmore and Alberta. His work has been displayed in public and private galleries across Alberta. While his work is extensive, he wishes he made a better historic record of all the of the names and faces he has come across in his research. “I sort of did it on a random basis. I didn’t think of documenting everybody, and I wish I had,” he said. The book is about 120 pages with about 60 portraits of miners and family members, and includes interviews and stories. It also includes some scenic and architectural images from the valley, as well as some photos from the Glenbow Museum Archives to show how the valley once
looked. While he bandied about the idea of a Drumheller book for some time, when he heard of the centennial activities, he proposed the book. The book will encapsulate photos he has taken over the years. While some will be recognizable from his previous works, some have never been published. “Sometimes I have tried to take a different view of an individual I took as compared to one that has appeared in one of the other books,” he said. “It covers a period of 1982 to 2010. Some of it is quite recent.” “It is not a fine art book. I mean there are some wonderful images in there, and they are printed quite well, but there are some in there that are documentary, they are there to illustrate on individual or some aspect of Drumheller Valley.” While he has a digital kit, many of the photos were shot with an 8"x10" large format view camera, giving unsurpassed quality and the negatives were scanned in to be published. “There is something special when you look at the book and see the portraits, you realize sometimes you get results with a view camera that you cannot get with a digital,” he said. Having said that, he is learning the ways of modern photography. “There is quite a bit of art to the digital world too, and I am learning that. It has been a slow
curve. I have always had a digital camera from when they first came out, and now I have the finest digital camera you can get, with good lenses, but there is still more craft to it,” he said. “Getting a good black and white print is a challenge, and I welcome that.” Lawrence Christmas’ book will be officially released at the May Day Celebrations, and he will be holding a book signing on Saturday, April 30 at the East Coulee School Museum, and on Sunday, May 1 in downtown Drumheller.

At Monday’s council meeting, Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle Church expressed the possibility of attaining Central School once it is put up for sale by Golden Hills School Division. Although desiring to move

purchasing St. Anthony’s is currently their desire. The March 23 edition of The Drumheller Mail reported a group of community organizations were hoping to secure Central School, in hopes of creating a central base of operations for clubs lacking space. Drumheller town council has also stated they will follow the tender process and estimate the repair/maintenance costs. Mayor Terry Yemen had said he didn’t believe the town funds were available for such a purchase. At the council meeting, Dannhauer and Reverend Blaine McDonald said the church had been in talks with the interested community groups. Dannhauer said the community groups were interested in forming a “superboard”, but EPT

MS Walk in need of teams for May 1 date Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
The chance to contribute to MS research in Drumheller is fast approaching and organizers of the annual Enerflex MS Walk are looking for team registrations to help meet their $50,000 goal. Walk registration is down about 15 per cent compared to this time last year for the event, and organizer Dave Watson is asking for people to step up for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada fundraiser. “We know people haven’t thought about walking with this long, cold winter, but we need people to start signing up sooner so we can arrange funds,” said Wat-
son. Participation in the walk has been on a downward trend over the last few years, he said. “There’s a trend we’re starting to see as we have not been getting the same amount of walkers as we once did,” Watson said, adding over the last four years they’ve seen a steady drop of participants – down 42 since four years ago. Last year’s MS Walk raised just under $47,000. Their goal has always been to gather $50,000. The Al-

Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle Church expressed interest in purchasing Central School at Monday’s council meeting, one of a couple communities players who are eyeing the building. Golden Hills School Division decided in February to put Central School out to tenders after it is appraised. Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle (EPT) has been waiting for over a year for construction St. Anthony’s new building on North Dinosaur Trail to be finished, after delays have pushed it back to a tentative August opening. “We thought we may as well investigate the possibility of having Central School as one of our options,” said Reverend Daniel Dannhauer, adding that

Tyrrell staff fly to investigate significant dino find in Fort McMurray Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
ends
Fort McMurray Suncor employees unearthed what could be a very significant find for the Tyrrell last Wednesday morning when an ankylosaur fossil was spotted on site. Scientists with the Royal Tyrrell Museum flew out Wednesday evening to find the fossil, a strange examine in that area. The Tyrrell’s curator of dinosaurs Dr. Donald Henderson hypothesizes the body of the ankylosaur, a squat planteating dinosaur, floated out to sea and was preserved in the ocean bed. “It then very rapidly became a fossil, it wasn’t scavenged by sharks or other predators,” says Henderson, adding the fossil is completely three dimensional, whereas most fossils Michel Gratton and Shawn Funk were the Suncor losaur on site Wednesday, causing Tyrrell staff to are flattened by the earth shovel operators in Fort McMurray who discovered fly out to investigate this potentially significant find. over time. photo submitted this extraordinarily well preserved fossil of an anky“We’ve only got scraps of bones from this time period,” he said while adding this fossil is about 50 million years older than typical finds here in the south. It’s rare to find something this old in the province, he says. “It’s a really exceptional specimen.” The Tyrrell believes this is a significant find because ankylosaurs are quite rare, and this may be the oldest Lori Stefanishion dinosaur found in Alberta inSide Drumheller Book Columnist so far. The Garneau Block Todd Babiak The Garneau Block by Todd Babiak was my book club’s choice for March. The entire group unanimously voted positively on this read! Once again, a rare event for us. I think anyone who is at all familiar with Edmonton would enjoy this book simply for the mention of familiar places. Anybody who actually grew up or lived in Edmonton would enjoy it all the more! The assortment of odd and endearing characters is a selling point for those who may not identify with the setting of Edmonton, but merely for the familiarity of the people and their situations. You may find yourself nodding, knowingly, being reminded of friends, family or even yourself in some of the characters or situations.
Todd Babiak, the author, is a columnist for the Edmonton Journal. This book was serialized in the Journal beginning the fall of 2005. He is often compared to Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Café in his writing style and stories. I found this review from Canadian Living and I think it sums up the story very well: The Garneau Block is about an oddball cast of characters in a makebelieve cul-de-sac in Edmonton, where life is one nonstop block party rife with political intrigue, neighbourly shenanigans, death, and romance.” - Canadian Living And on a food note, you just may want to have some hummus and baba ganoush on hand because, for some reason, they eat a lot of these dips in this book!

The story centers around a handful of people who live in the same block (Garneau Block). Their lives are connected by a common thread when they discover the university is expanding and wanting to buy and knock down their houses.
Whyte Avenue and Strathcona are familiar areas where most of the “action” takes place. It is hard to get used to reading about going to Leduc or Red Deer when you are immersed in a book. Normally the places don’t have that homelike ring to them.
“We’ve got all the armor in place, and because it's 3-D it’s kept all its shape. We even have impressions of the scales. We’re going to have to be very careful when we prepare it to not lose any information,” said Henderson. “It’s really amazing.” About 85 per cent remains at the Suncor site, but Henderson says it will probably take 2-3 years to chip away at the hard rock which surrounds us. This is the only find in the area. Ankylosaurs were squat, plant-eating quadrupeds with powerful limbs and armour plating on their bodies. Their club-like tails were probably used for self-defence. Royal Tyrrell scientists will return to Fort McMurray this week to supervise the removal of the specimen and its transportation to the museum for further study. Henderson imagines it will take up to three days to remove the fossil. “Suncor and its staff deserve a big thank you for recognizing this as a fossil and reporting it to us as quickly as they did,” said Andrew Neuman, Executive Director of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. “This is a great example of a company calling to report a find and it turning out to be something of potentially major significance.”

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome
by C. Aiello
Today’s column is pared down considerably from its original form. The original makes for a much more interesting read, but would hardly fit in this space, and so... I was like most other teenagers, and could hardly wait to get my driver’s license. My father took no part in my learning how to drive. I took a driver’s education class, and my aunt took me driving in her vehicle. I eventually learned to keep it between the lines. Having done so, I then needed to learn the rules of the road and abide by them. After all this, and after persuading a driving test examiner that I was fit to operate a motor vehicle, I was granted my teenage passport to freedom, a driver’s license. Oh joy. The last step to teenage auto freedom is asking Dad for the keys to the family car. The opinions of a driving instructor and a provincial examiner don’t hold much water with an anxious parent whose insurance premiums just increased by half. This last step is the cause of much angst, for both the parent and the one seeking the car keys. The approach must be one of responsibility, you must show that you are worthy. It helps to have a friend who already has a license, and one whom your father considers a responsible young fellow. In my first years of driving, 1968-1972, my father owned a gold coloured Mercury Montclair, a big sedan, with a 390 cubic inch engine, and 290 horsepower. Not great by today’s standards, but if you played the gas pedal just right, you could make the tires squeal, or so I was told. Pop parked the car in the garage during winter, and although it’s a two car garage, the width of the doors is such that if you didn’t drive straight in, if you were out half an inch on either side, you’d take off a mirror or scratch a fender. Doing either was cause for Pop to hold onto the keys a little tighter, and for me to be more angst ridden, so I became very careful when entering and exiting that garage. However harrowing the garage door seemed, my real nemesis lay waiting for me in the alley. In those days there was a drainage grate right in the middle of the alley, directly behind my driveway. In the winter, because it was a low spot, it became an icy spot - drop a wheel into it, and you were stuck. More than once did I drop a wheel into it, necessitating an embarrassing trip back into the house to tell Pop. He of course would make an issue of it, but would come out, get behind the wheel, with me behind the car pushing, finally freeing it, allowing me to go on my way. Monday morning, as I stood in the shower, my mind flashed back to that grate and the grief it caused me. (It has since been moved.) Perhaps it was because of the deep ice ruts in my alley, and if I ever dropped a wheel into one of them... I cleaned the snow off the car, jumped in, started it up, put it in reverse, and backed slowly into the alley, my right front wheel dropping squarely into an icy rut. I was 16 again. I went into the house and called AMA. 20 minutes, I went back out to the car, when I saw a white van coming from the other alley. It was the plumber from up the street. He tried pushing me out, but to no avail. He walked back to the shop and came back with two other young fellows. After a few grunts I was free. I thank these guys most heartily, they are all friends. Funny thing is, it’s the first time I ever called AMA for a tow, and got three plumbers instead. Thanks, guys. 13l
