OPINION

inSide STREETERS Residents took some time on Monday to clean up some litter around town. inSide Drumheller asks: “What is the importance of cleaning Drumheller as part of Earth Day?”
Felicity Charlton “It helps the environment and it’s great for tourists. It shows them that we care.”
Jon Hamm “It’s great to clean up, but it’s better if people do it without being asked. If people keep littering, it hurts the environment.”
Phil Wolters “The path to righteousness lies in a litter free town.”
Jillian Augey “The valley is so beautiful. If we can keep the park and courts clean, it adds to the beauty of the town.”

50 more miners added to the Miners' Memorial Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Volunteers have been diligently researching for more than a year and have uncovered more than 50 new names to add to the Miners’ Memorial in Drumheller. As part of last year’s Centennial of Coal Mining in Drumheller celebrations, the committee revealed plans to create a lasting Miners’ Memorial to be located in the heart of downtown Drumheller. A big part of making it a lasting, meaningful memorial was making sure that as many miners as possible, who died working the mines and building Drumheller, are remembered. “We have volunteers in other towns who are looking at newspaper articles online and going to places like the Glenbow Museum and the Provincial Archives, but also there is some really important work being done here with The Drumheller Mail archives. Those three different methods are bringing us all these new names,’ said Linda Digby executive director of the Atlas Coal Mine. The spark for the Miners memorial came in 2009 when Olga Skrilk approached the Atlas. She was married to a miner named John Myers, who along with his brother were killed in a horrific accident in 1962 at the Atlas Coal Mine. John and Robert (Babe) Myers were coming off an evening shift, and called for the cage elevator to take them to the top of the 400foot shaft. Their brother Don was also working, but missed getting on the lift because he went back to get his lunch box. As the lift was bringing them to the surface there was a mechanical failure and the cage did not stop when it reached the top. It continued and smashed into the head sheave and broke free. The cage fell the 400 feet to the base and crashed, killing both men. This was one of the last

mining tragedies in the valley. One more happened in 1965. The Myers family has come out in support of the memorial and donated $5,000 to the project. This week the Atlas also learned that another family member gave $1,000 to the project. This was in memory of Emma, who was John and Robert’s sister. The memorial is to be placed at the park beside the
Civic Centre, which will be the new Town Hall in the near future. It is being designed by a sculptor in Ontario and is to be made of iron and black granite. So far Digby said they have raised about half of what they need to build the memorial and are waiting on word on a federal grant. They have received great support from individuals and families as well as the business community includ-
ing Century Coals which is the Patrick Family who owned the Atlas and Commander Mines and Mapleleaf Minerals, which has roots in the Gouge family, the first family of coal mining in the valley. To support the memorial project they are holding their first Cemetery Tour during this year’s May Day Miners Festival. Donations from the excursion will go to the Miners Memorial. This will be a tour of the graves of some notable people in the valley and their stories. “I have a feeling it will start a series and will keep going. You can only visit so many men in one tour and there are a lot of stories we want to share,” said Digby. To date they have compiled a list of 197 names to be placed on the memorial, “And I am convinced there are more [to be found].” said Digby. “When we go to production on the Miners’ Memorial we want to have done everything we can to have the most complete list of names. Along the way of course, we are interested in the stories behind the names and sharing them with the

Federal budget cuts may impact workers a Drumheller Institution Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
It appears the budget cuts to Correctional Service Canada are sending ripples into the Drumheller Institution. Stan Stapleton, regional vice president of the Union of Solicitor General Employees (USGE) confirms that some employees represented by his union did get affected letters. “They (the letter) are advising them their position may be adjusted. It may be elimi-
nated, were not sure what it will be,” said Stapleton. “At this stage it is really preliminary.” While he did not reveal how many people received letters, he said it was “not very many.” The Federal government’s budget announced last month trims about $5.2 billion of annual spending. Stapleton said the plan is to cut $275 million from Correctional Service Canada over three years.
The government has already announced the closure of Kingston Penitentiary and Leclerc Institution in Laval, Quebec. inSide Drumheller received an e-mail from Correctional Service Canada, stating, “the Government announced it will close operations at two sites: Kingston Penitentiary and the Regional Treatment Centre in Kingston, Ontario; and Leclerc Institution in Laval, Quebec.

Man sentenced for “offensive” assault Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Judge Grieve chastised a man in Drumheller provincial court for a tasteless assault. Michael John Edwards pleaded guilty to two counts of assault on Friday, April 20. The court heard how, on April 5 of last year a woman was pushing a baby stroller when Edwards rode beside her on his bicycle and slapped her on the buttocks. Judge Grieve described the act as very offensive and disrespectful.
"These are lessons learned in Kindergarten, you don’t touch other people’s stuff and you don’t touch other people,” said Grieve. Edward also pleaded guilty to an assault last February where he pushed his companion in the heat of an argument. Grieve told Edwards it is time to stop and focus on what is important and these offenses could have easily carried a jail term. Edwards was given a suspended sentence with a 12-month probation order.

ed staff at these sites to other facilities. In terms of information about positions that may be impacted at Drumheller Institution, it would be inappropriate to comment until all affected employees have been notified. Support will be provided to any affected employees to assist them in finding suitable employment.” The USGE represents clerical staff, Parole officers, program officers, administrative
staff and trades people. “We are in the very early stages of what is going to happen,” said Stapleton. “The union has not been kept in the loop very much, other than the affected letters some of our members have received, we don’t know much beyond that, other than the $275 million…over the next few months we expect to hear more.”

Co-op sales grow by 20 per cent Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller Co-op had a
stellar 2011, seeing a 20 per cent increase in sales over the previous year. Spurred along by its petroleum division, Co-op had sales totalling $37.8 million last year. The Co-op held its Annual General Meeting on Wednesday night, April 25. This was its 50th AGM and FCL Board Delegate Rolf Traichel presented the Coop with a gift to commemorate the half-century of operations. The Co-op saw growth primarily in non-foods division, which went from approximately $24.5 million in 2010 to $30.9 million for 2011. In the food division sales dropped about $86,000. Manager Gordon Van Kannel
said petroleum sales have continued to grow, and the Agro Department had a strong year, with strong sales in grain bins, following a great growing season. Home Centre sales were down during the first half of the year, however a mild fall and winter weather spurred a slight turnaround. Some changes to the facility and infrastructure came in 2011. The 1,900 square foot greenhouse at the home centre was renovated and now serves as a four-season area. Repairs to the roof of Greentree Mall are wrapping up and the new cardlock facility in Linden was completed in the spring of 2011. The Co-op has been actively pursuing tenants for Greentree Mall. Federated Co-op has a real estate agent in place and f17p18m

Van Kannel said they have been researching business opportunities in the trading areas and have been in contact with interested businesses with positive leads. There were five vacancies on the Co-op board and four of them were filled at the meeting. Barry Fullerton and Dave Vanderkolk let their names stand. Kathy Little, who came on in December as an associate director, was appointed to the board. New director Fred Makowecki was also appointed. One piece of business they did deal with during the meeting was amending the director remuneration bylaw. For the last 15 years directors have been receiving $70 per meeting payment on top of travel. The bylaws called for review at meetings with membership from time to time. Director Barry Fullerton proposed the directors be paid $112 per meet-

ing. The board, which currently has eight members, met 11 times last year for regular meetings and had four special meetings. The membership approved of the change. The board announced at the meeting it approved patronage
allocation of $1,053,805 to its members based on 2011 earnings. It also approved a general repayment of 25 per cent for an allocation of $247,701. Equity days in Drumheller are May 10 and 11, and May 9 in Linden.

Greentree delighted by Pinocchio performance Students and staff at Greentree School were given a special treat Tuesday morning. The Alberta Opera Company performed an adaptation of the Carlo Collodi story about Pinocchio (left) and his master Geppetto. In the play, Pinocchio sought to reunite Geppetto with his estranged son. The
play also involved many of the school’s students, who were given small parts in the play. Greentree School invites the Alberta Opera Company to perform each year. The company had been at Greentree recently, performing The Magic Flute. inSide photo by Michael James

FRITO PIE Cinco de Mayo is coming up quickly – May the 5th to be exact. It is a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride. I have chosen Frito pie although its roots are more Southwestern than Mexican. One main ingredient is chili, so I’m sure there is a popular version in Mexico. There are many ways to make this and you can experiment with your own ideas to come out with something very edible I’m sure.

What I did, as pictured, is lay a foundation of corn chips in a greased 9x13 baking dish. I then covered them with a simple home made chili. Normally, I would repeat the layers or put some grated cheese between the two layers. This time, I spread a nacho dip over the chili before adding the next Frito chip layer. Top it off with grated cheddar (or a Mexican grated blend) and a sprinkling of more Frito corn chips. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. You can serve with sour cream over it or on the side.
Another fun and easy way to serve this is to simply pour some chili right into a small bag of Frito corn chips and top with some grated cheese, lettuce and sour cream. Everyone has their own individual bag with no dishes to clean up afterwards! One of the nice things about this dish is in using Frito corn chips, they don’t get soggy under the chili.

Succulents for low-maintenance
Succulents, like jade, are ideal for arid conditions or for gardens where low-maintenance plants are desired.
the foliage. Succulents are particularly good to have in areas prone to arid temperatures or where water restrictions are often in place. They can be environmentally friendly because of their ability to conserve water. Succulents treat water as a precious resource, and their entire makeup is designed to minimize consumption of water. Because they thrive in sunlight, succulents can be the ideal plants to put in extremely sunny and hot locations. They will not wither and dry out due to extreme heat. For particularly dry areas of landscape or where
soil is subpar, consider the placement of dierent varieties of succulents to create a varied and eye-catching display. There are many other advantages to planting succulents; some of which include: * Succulents oer contrasts in shape, texture and colors. With the many varieties, you're bound to ďŹ nd something interesting and dierent to add to the landscape. * Whether you have ample acreage in the yard or simply some containers available for planting, succulents will thrive. They grow just as well in containers as they do in the ground.
* Succulents don't tend to require pruning or cutting back of the plant. With this in mind, you can expect them to grow large. Therefore, space the plants adequately to allow for growth. * Succulents are perennials. So once you plant them, they should last for years and years without the hassle and expense you can expect from planting annuals every year. * Indoor greenhouses or sunrooms can be another good place for succulents. They prefer not to get chilled, which makes a controlled environment advantageous. When considering a spot for your succulents, choose areas that get plenty of sun.
Think about pruning back or removing trees that would create too much shade on the succulents. Space the succulents widely apart -more so than you would with other plants -- to allow them to spread. Pebbles or gravel make good mulching material around succulents so that drainage will be adequate. It will also set the succulents apart from other plants by contextualizing them in your garden. Visit a gardening center or home improvement store to learn more about the myriad types of succulents that can add beauty to most gardens.

Now is the time of year to focus on outdoor landscaping projects. One popular project involves redesigning the front yard or backyard to include an array of dierent owers and foliage. While many people gravitate to the ashy and colorful annuals on display at nurseries and home centers, you may want to consider adding some succulents to your home landscape. Succulent plants can be a boon to a homeowner without the time or resources to maintain plants. Succulents get their name from their primary function, which is drawing up and storing water. Succulents are able to thrive in arid conditions, and there are more than 300 different types, including some exotic species. The advantages to planting succulents are many. Because they store water in their stems, roots and leaves, this reduces the number of times an owner must water them. Succulents can go several days between waterings. Succulents, like cacti, that have few if any leaves, are perhaps best at managing water because they lose little to evaporation through

nounced it reached an agreement with Toyota Tsusho Wheatland Inc. The company, a subsidiary of Toyota Tsusho, will invest about $602 million to acquire a 32.5 per cent royalty interest in a portion of Encana’s CBM play. “This investment from a global partner recognizes the significant value identified in Encana’s CBM lands which rank among the company’s lowest-cost, lowest-risk assets, and signifies another step as Encana pursues a range of opportunities to manage its portfolio and enhance the long-term value creation of its vast inventory,” said Randy Eresman, Encana’s president and CEO. “Encana’s CBM resources cover a great expanse that includes approximately 2.1 million net acres in the Horseshoe Canyon fairway. The vast majority of this acreage is fee lands, where Encana holds the mineral rights in perpetuity, and are estimated
to contain significant amounts of recoverable natural gas.” Toyota Tsusho paid $100 million at the closing of the transaction, and will invest the remaining $502 million over the next seven years. The investment is for the royalty interest from the 4,000 existing wells and about 1,500 potential drilling sites. Luigi Vescarelli, community relations advisor for Encana’s Clearwater BU/ Wheatland SBU, said this would keep the area working in this time of low natural gas prices. “What this money we are receiving from Toyota will do, will help us keep things a little more steady here. We might be able to keep three or four rigs going steady and keep some of the service providers with a little bit of work south,” said Vescarelli. He said currently they are shutting in a few wells, but they will continue to drill more to have gas ready when prices do
turn around. He said the investment is for royalty interest. This means they are not purchasing any assets or infrastructure, and the on-theground operations will not be affected. “It will keep some steady work here, rather than everybody packing up and leaving for northern sites,” said Vescarelli. “Toyota is looking at it as an investment on their money with longer term returns.” Toyota Tsusho is a member of the Toyota Group and, according to a release is a general trading company and is made up of seven divisions, namely the Metals Division, the Global Production Parts & Logistics Division, the Automotive Division, the Machinery, Energy & Project Division, the Chemicals & Electronics Division, the Produce & Foodstuffs Division, and the Consumer Products, Services & Materials Division.

“I was really impressed… When I saw it thought it was really good,” said Ben. Right now is the preliminary round. This is where viewers can ‘like’ her video. The contest notes that how many ‘likes’ she gets will help her advance in the contest, however it is not the sole deciding factor. Ben said he put the video up on his Facebook page and it has been getting a good response. However, ‘liking’ it on Facebook or on YouTube will not give Abby the votes she needs to move on. To vote you must first log in to www.985virginradio. com to “like’ her video. The video has been posted since April 23 and there are about 77 entries. The initial voting will end at 9 a.m. on May 7. At noon on this day the top 20 finalists will be posted. If she makes it that far, she will need fans to “like” her video more. The grand prize winner will be announced on May 18.

Mini-Tykes host first lacrosse festival in Drumheller The Raptors Mini-Tykes here invited 13 teams from around Central Alberta to come to Drumheller on Sunday for a day of games, skill development, and, most importantly, fun. Teams from Blackfalds, Innisfail, Lacombe, Red Deer, Stettler and Sylvan Lake will be at the Drumheller Memorial Arena from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is estimated that 105 kids will be in attendance. “It’s about the Mini-Tykes getting to know the Central Alberta teams,” said Nicole Robertson, manager of the Mini-Tykes. “It’s a day for them to have fun and learn about lacrosse.” The teams will play 15 minute games throughout the day, mixed with practice sessions. The arena playing surface
will be split into two, to allow four teams to play at once. The festival is an important opportunity for the team to play other opponents. Because of their age, between four and six, MiniTyke teams generally do not travel as much as older teams.

Tykes will be heading to another in Blackfalds later this spring. The Red Deer lacrosse festival began four years ago. The team has a roster of eight young players. For
some, this is their first organized sport (others are involved in hockey). Aside from the festival in Red Deer, the team has been busy learning lacrosse skills during their weekly practices in the Drumheller Me-
morial Arena and Badlands Community Facility. “The kids are excited to play, have fun, and learn new skills,” said Robertson. “They just love it.”

during Badlands Lacrosse’s first Mini-Tyke festival. Fourteen teams from the area will spend all day Sunday playing games, practicing, and having some fun.
The St. Anthony’s Sabres Senior High
badminton team wrapped up its season with an appearance at zones on Tuesday. Dan Patterson coached the senior high team. He saw 11 players advance to zones, which were played on April 24 in Airdrie. He said his players were overwhelmed by the immense talent at the competition, but played their best. A few of his players won their games. Emilie Toews won one game and lost a
number of close match–ups. Gerone Baltazar won two games, and had three really close losses. “I’m proud of what they accomplished, their etiquette and how hard they tried even without proper equipment and the limited amount of time they had to practice this year,” said coach Patterson. “Students had a fun time and got to see some really good badminton.” He said he has lots of prospects for next year and is only losing two senior high students from this year’s zones competitors.
