Sorenson, Parker, Turner show for federal political forum on Tuesday Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
Crowfoot riding candidates from the Conservatives, New Democratic Party, and an independent were fielding questions from Drumheller residents at the federal political forum on Tuesday night. Conservative Kevin Sorenson, NDP Ellen Parker, and independent John C. Turner attended the forum. Liberal Omar Harb and Green Party candidate Konrad Schellenberg did not attend the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce sponsored event. Munson resident and independent candidate John C. Turner was the first to provide his opening remarks, saying he was running because he had lost faith in the current Conservative government. Turner said in August 2009, a “former lady friend” of his was sexually assaulted by a “Republican terrorist in Northern Ireland”, and despite hundreds of letters to members of government, including the Minister of National Defence, he had yet to receive a single response. “I have lost faith in our Conservative government,” Turner said, after explaining he holds conservative ideologies but would not vote for the Harper government. “We are spending millions of dollars protecting people in Afghanistan and Libya but the Canadian government won’t help a Canadian army veteran in need to help a defenseless lady, who's only crime, so to speak, was knowing a person who was actively pursuing a career as a police officer with the police service of Northern Ireland,” Turner said. “That’s why I won’t forget you if you have a problem, regardless of the issue. My platform is about accountability and how the government spends our tax money.”

Conservative incumbent Kevin Sorenson, the most experience candidate having been representing Crowfoot since 2000 and re-elected with a 82.5 per cent popular vote in 2006, followed Turner. Sorenson said the two biggest issues he’s heard while door knocking on this campaign were the people being displeased with another election, and the recession. “We’re disappointed about that,” he said about $300 million spent on this election, the fourth one in seven years. “But the first issue they were afraid about was the issue about the coalition.” Sorenson went on to say the Conservative government has been the strongest reason Canada held strong through the 2008 recession. “Canada, with prudent fiscal
responsibility, was the last to go into a recession and the first to come out.” He went on to say that confidence by foreign investors in Canada has driven our economy and the Conservatives have been spending on lasting projects in Canada. He said, "The question is leadership: do you trust the leadership of the coalition or the continued, steady hand of the government of Canada under the hand of Stephen Harper?” NDP candidate Ellen Parker, a Camrose resident and “educator and community activist” who holds a Bachelor of Education degree in home economics, began her opening statement citing social achievements by former NDP leader Tommy Douglas, such as medicare, pension reform, balanced budget and employment insurance reform.
“This election happened because of contemptive charges put towards the Harper administration, this has never happened in any parliament in any other Commonwealth country. We have another black mark internationally because of that,” Parker said. “We do see Ottawa’s broken, and Jack Layton is ready to fix it. He’s ready to be Prime Minister, he knows what that means and understands it’s a government for you, the people – families trying to make ends meet. He knows that’s where to create real incentives for real job creators,” Parker said. The opening remarks were followed by the candidates fielding questions from residents. A video of the questions and responses can be viewed on Drumheller TV at www.drumhellermail.com.
Mining Centennial float entered in Stampede Parade Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Drumheller will be turning heads at this year’s Stampede Parade as the Mining Centennial committee was approved enter a float at this year’s parade. The annual Stampede Parade is on July 8. By parade standards, the Rose Bowl Parade is the only one larger than the Stampede Parade, says its website. The committee is thrilled at the prospects.
“It’s more than exciting, it’s awesome,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. He explains they submitted the application quite some time ago, but received confirmation earlier this week. The Drumheller Institution is working on the exhibition, which will feature coal cars pulled by local ponies, and will be accompanied by about 10 marchers with wheelbarrows.

Mine said it is great opportunity to showcase the valley. “Drumheller will have a great profile in the Calgary Stampede this year. I think it will be a surprise to people in Calgary there are two sides of Drumheller, and I think it will provoke interest in coming to Drumheller this year. Everyone knows we are a dinosaur town, but not everyone knows we are a coal town. It is a pretty sexy industry, and I think people will be interested in it,”
said Digby. Leanna Mohan of the planning committee said they are still in need of support in making it a reality. The volunteer committee will be organizing the float. All sort of logistics have to be planned, including transporting the float into Calgary, walking the route, and tearing down.

Province grants $92,239 to 12 valley nonprofits Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
Twelve Drumheller nonprofit and volunteer organizations will receive over $92,239 from the Alberta government’s Community Spirit Program in May, with the Passion Play receiving the maximum $25,000. The program, operated by the Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit, provides funds to organizations based on the value of donations they received from Albertans. “It shows we had a good bunch of people behind us in 2010,” said Passion Play general manager Vance Neudorf, adding the fact they received the maximum amount shows how cemented support for them is in Drumheller. “It’s something that local people take pride in.” The Heart to Heart Society of Drumheller received $7,426.60 from the program, which will go toward assisting those with heart health issues and providing heart related equipment to the Drumheller Health Centre. They’ve received funds from the grant for the last three years. “It’s excellent,” said president Cliff Deitz, who said the chapter opened up in the late 1990s. “Nonprofit and charitable organizations are able to respond to community needs with great flexibility,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spirit in a press release. “The donation grant helps optimize their donor contributions, while allowing them to use grant funding to support operations, programs or capital projects – wherever they need it most.” The following groups also received funds from the Community Spirit Program this year: Canadian Badlands Artists Association ($3,208.89), Dinosaur Trail Golf and Coun-
try Club ($1,841.40), Drumheller and District Musical Festival Association ($1,863), Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle ($14,196.02), Friends of the Sunshine Lodge Committee ($2,182.50), Hand Hills Michif Cultural Society ($4,162.14), Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society ($5,565.60), Drumheller Aquadinnies Swim Club ($4,016.29), Homestead Museum Society ($18,148.58), and the Town of Drumheller Library Board ($4,686.75). During the first two years of the program, $38 million was distributed to 3,238 successful applicants throughout Alberta. For 2010-11, $14.9 million will be distributed to a further 1,792 grant recipients. The approved 2010 applicants’ donations will be leveraged by having the first $10,000 of their eligible cash donations matched at a level of 90 per cent. Individual cash donations that bring the total from $10,001 to $25,000 are matched at a rate of 55 per cent; and donations that bring the total over $25,000 are matched at a rate of 15.11 per cent. When an organization raises donations totalling $78,371 (or more), it receives the maximum grant amount of $25,000. Cheques will be delivered to the recipients in May. The donation grant is available to all eligible nonprofit organizations and Canada Revenue Agency-registered charities incorporated and operating in Alberta for a minimum of one year. It is funded through the Alberta Lottery Fund. Budget 2011 confirmed $16 million to continue the program in 2011-12. This proportional grant will vary year-to-year depending on the program’s available funds and the amount of total eligible cash donations received by eligible organizations.

Facebook “like” could win $25k for Charmont family Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A simple “like” click on Facebook could help the Charmont family as they deal with the most difficult situation anyone could imagine. Father and son, Chris and John Charmont were killed in an explosion at a hotel in Mexico last November. Since then, the community has rallied for the family. Jen Olsen has found one more outlet to help support the family, and it is an Internet contest. She received word from a friend in Red Deer of the Urban Mortgage “$25K You Deserve It” contest. This contest allows people to log Jen Olsen entered a video in the Urban Mortgage “$25k You Deserve on and in video form tell It” contest in support of the Charmont Family. Above is a screen cap- their story on why they, or ture of her posting. someone they know, deserve $25,000. Olsen decided to use the venue to make a plea Too much of your

for the family. She mustered her courage and stepped in front of the camera. The short video has been up since about March, and has gained strong support. “I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a video, but it was pretty easy to do when we got down to it,” said Olsen. The video has more than 560 “likes,” and the comments are very positive. It appears that of the 14 entries, Olsen’s video has the second highest vote count. Olsen encourages those interesting throwing their support behind the campaign to simply go to the site and cast your vote for the video. The contest closes on May 15. Three finalists will be selected, and then by May 31, a winner will be an-
nounced. “The judging will be based not only on votes, but also the story itself and creativity,” said Olsen. With this in mind, she encourages voters to not just click “like,” but to share their comments and tell how this would be the right choice and how the family deserves the prize. Olsen encourages everyone to go to the Urban Mortgage facebook page to the video section and vote, and then share the link to the video. She said it is imperative to go directly to the Urban Mortgage page to vote. “If you share the video and someone clicks ‘like’ those votes don’t count. You have to follow the link to Urban Mortgage to vote there,” she said.
Rent Supplement Program still available to tenants submitted | inSide Drumheller
Inquire about the Rent Supplement Program administered by Century 21 PowerRealty.ca Call Lisa Clarke at 403-823-2121, email lisa@2121.ca or go to www.rentdrumheller.ca for more details.
While it seems the housing market in the province has cooled, there is no sign the government of Alberta plans to change the Direct To Rent Supplement Program, says Lisa Clarke from Century 21 who is the administrator of Drumheller Housing Authority. The program, which started in 2007, has seen strong participation in Drumheller. According to the Housing Administration, there are approximately 120 families in Drumheller, Three Hills, Hanna, and surrounding areas who are taking advantage of the program. “As far as we know there
are no plans to stop it,” said Clarke. The program provides assistance to households in need by subsidizing rent. Basically if more than a certain

percentage of your income goes to rent and housing expenses, you may be eligible for a subsidy. Your application then gets sent to Alberta Housing and Urban Affairs where it is further assessed. Once qualified, they will pay directly to an eligible tenant to assist with rental costs to subsidize the difference between a negotiated market rent and 30 percent of the household adjusted income. This means the tenant is only expected to contribute about one third of their household income to shelter. Those wanting to take advantage of the program can still do so by applying through the Drumheller Housing Authority in Drumheller at Century 21. Forms are available at Kneehill Regional FCSS in Three Hills, and the Hanna Learning Centre.

Cook received his Bachelor of Science degree with specialization in Zoology from the U of A in 1995. In 2005, he returned to the University of Alberta where he is currently finishing up his PhD, focusing on the systematics and paleobiogeography of Late Cretaceous sharks and rays from Alberta. His talk will discuss the diversity of sharks and rays from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta and describe the rare remains of the large Late Cretaceous predatory shark Archaeolamna kopingensis. Speaker Series talks are free and are held on most Fridays until April 29, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in the museum auditorium. Each talk is approximately one hour long.

Rotary to unveil new historic driving tour signs at May Day Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Rotarians Leo Jensen, left, and Brent Pedersen show an example of the new historical site signs that will be installed throughout the valley in conjunction with the Centennial of coal mining in the valley.
As part of the May Day Celebrations this weekend, the Drumheller Rotary Club and partners will be unveiling new placards through the valley sharing the history of mining. The Rotary has maintained the signs for years as a way to preserve the memories of the history of the valley. Of course, the rigors of time and weather have meant the signs have had to be repaired and replaced. This time they have sought out a stronger more resilient material to replace the 18 cedar signs. Brent Pedersen explained to inSide Drumheller the new ma-
terial used is called Folia and is purported to be UV and graffiti resistant. While the Rotary spearheaded the project, under the direction of Pedersen, Leo Jensen and Ron Rawlusyk, it has been a collaboration with a number of groups and businesses. Canalta has been a financial partner for the signs. The Atlas Coal Mine helped with providing better quality images and updating some of the historical information, and Royal Tyrrell Museum graphic designer Kelly Kuhl worked on the design and graphics. Hi-Way 9 Express was supportive by transporting and storing the signs.
Pedersen said HB Enterprises in Drumheller have also been a great support. They have been repairing and modifying the steel frames for the new signs. The Alberta government’s Community Initiatives Fund also helped to support the project. On Sunday at 1 p.m. following the May Day March in Downtown Drumheller there will be a short program to introduce the new signs. A map guide to the signs that interpret Drumheller’s history will be distributed. After two decades of taking care of the signs, the Rotary has struck a deal with the Atlas Coal Mine, which will now take over the stewardship of the signs.

and holidays when the spirits were high and flowing. Linda Digby of the Atlas Coal Mine says not to be surprised if a few of these “ruffians” show up at the May Day March this coming Sunday. The best thing to do is stand back. photo courtesy Atlas Coal Mine

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure 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!

If you have been watching the leaders of the opposition parties during this election campaign, it seems funny how they blame Stephen Harper and the Conservatives for the deficit. They do this out of one side of their mouth, and then promise to spend billions more (of as yet unfound) dollars on social programming. The Conservatives are running a deficit because that is the result of a minority government. The opposition doesn’t like your budget, with its tax credits, cuts to program spending, and contraction of government in general. As liberals and socialists their aim is more spending, fewer tax cuts, more social programs, and an expansion of existing bureaucracies. To remain in government, a minority is forced to make concessions to the opposition and accede to some of their demands, the result being, a deficit budget. In the last budget, with its tax cuts and program cuts, the opposition decided that the governing Conservatives had “lost the confidence of the House”, triggering the election. The unfortunate thing is that Canadians on the whole hadn’t lost confidence in the Conservatives or Stephen Harper to govern the country. In fact, when asked, the majority pick Harper and the Tories as the best at running the economy. The three dough headed opposition leaders didn’t lose confidence, they just wanted to force an election, as this time Harper and the Conservatives weren’t willing to make any concessions. Want bigger government, more spending, higher deficits and more taxes? Vote Liberal or NDP and find out what a real deficit looks like. 17m

The bantams are also looking for parents or football lovers in the community to step up to ďŹ ll coaching positions and volunteer with the club. “We’re always in need of help. We’re looking for people to do it full time. We run pretty scripted practices so it’s easy to orchestrate.â€? Redmond said most people view bantam football as low quality sport, but says in recent years it has developed into a complex and important level of play. “You see a lot of teams at the tier 1 and 2 levels which are competing at a high level. We need the coaches to help with the whole program, not just at the senior level. The plays are getting fairly sophisticated now, it’s just like the high school level,â€? he said.
