Passion Play secures ski lodge, parking area Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Property that once made up part of the Drumheller ski hill has been sold, and the buyer is none other than the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. Last year Community Futures Big Country, which owned the mortgage on the property that was previously co-owned by Ski the Badlands and the Passion Play, foreclosed. This area makes up the base of the hill from about the first chairlift tower, down and it includes the ski lodge and the parking area. The Town of Drumheller currently owns the slope part of the hill. Passion Play general manger Vance Neudorf is happy they were able to buy the land. “We are definitely excited,” said Neudorf. He said they have already begun to utilize the lodge. Under the previous agreement the Passion Play was only able to use the lodge during the summer months. Now they will be able to use it year round. “What dreams or plans we have for further use are yet to be determined but it is nice to have it,” said Neudorf. They have cleaned out and painted the downstairs area and have begun to put in offices. The rental area will be a meeting room/actors green room. “It is very nicely done. We have had a lot of guys doing volunteer services from the pen. They have been patching and cleaning

up. It is coming along, the building is starting to take shape and look really good,” said Neudorf. He adds that it was important they secure their parking lot for performance days. Neudorf said the Passion Play is open to working with groups interested in looking at exploring recreational opportunities such as opening the ski hill, but there are many challenges such an endeavour would face. He said the manufacturer of the lift no

longer exists. “The company went out of business in 2003 and quite frankly you can pick these lifts up because people are dumping them, they don’t want the headache anymore,” said Neudorf. “We understand from talking to people the whole pumping system is barely cobbled together… When you look at all of those, yeah there are definitely major obstacles.” “Every year that goes by that dream fades a little bit more.”

Homestead Museum Auction right around corner Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Candy Tompkin “Pennies are a nuisance, it’s nice to see them go, but I think prices will go up. Businesses won’t let prices go down.”

Tim Smith “It’s a good idea. I’ll turn mine in for larger coins. I don’t even bother with pennies. When I went to South Korea, they did the same and it kept things simple.”

Pssst....

It’s coming!

The Homestead Museum has a new addition to its collection and it has arrived just in time for its major fundraiser. Its recent acquisition is a replica of an Austin road car, but it is just a wee bit smaller. This Junior 40 (J40) was based on the 1948 Austin Devon and Dorset. It is a pedal car and is a testament to the post war era and the danger of mining. The car was a donation from Colin Wiebe, son of Gerry Wiebe. The cars have since become collectable and a mint condition version can go for as much as $10,000. This one isn’t mint, but it is great example of the cars. The pedal car program in the United Kingdom came not out of producing a revenue stream for the car manufacturer, but to employ disabled miners. According to the website Austinmemories.com, in 1943 parliament recognized pneumoconiosis (known to miners as “The Dust”) and encouraged employers to give ex-miners with medical issues employment. The plan was to build pedal cars An unused shop was given to the project where they set up a

design office and to build a prototype. The specifications were that it would be suitable for children ages 4 to 9, must have room in the front for a smaller brother or sisters, the bonnet and boot must open and the light must work. The cars were made from scraps from the factories where proper Austins were manufactured. As promised the car featured working headlights and horn, pneumatic tires and leather seating. Both the boot and the bonnet opened and the cars were adorned with chrome bumpers, grille, hubcaps and hood ornament. The original J40s sold for about 27 pounds and were intended for an American marketplace. Soon it established markets in Denmark, Canada and around the globe. Many were adapted for carnival rides. The cars were produced until 1971 and in all 32,098 were manufactured. Manager of the Homestead Museum, Gilles Danis said the car is in good shape for its age, but they are thinking of restoring it. There are even websites dedicated to bringing the cars

Canada Day Parade celebrates “The Good Life” Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

It is hard to argue that there is a bigger event in Drumheller than Canada Day, and it is already time to start thinking about your parade entry. This year’s Canada Day Parade theme is “The Good Life.” Roxanne Clark of the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce said it is fitting. “We just wanted people to have fun with it, and I think by going with the theme “The Good Life,” it allows people to do a float that encompasses what makes them happy, things they are thankful for, and have a lot of fun,” said Clark. She adds that its fitting with the direction the community has charted in recent history as it rolls towards its centennial year. “I think we have a lot to be grateful for, we definitely are moving forward in leaps and bounds that are long overdue and are finally coming to fruition,” said Clark. This year Canada Day falls on a Sunday. Because of this, Clark said they are respectful to those who attend the various places of worship in the community and will start the parade at noon. She adds they are also planning to have more parade marshals along the route to help the parade continue to move along in an orderly fashion. She ask that those wishing to enter a float in the parade to please register in advance. Those interested can register by contacting Clark at the Chamber office or downloading an entry form from the Chamber of Commerce’s website. She said register-

ing allows organizers to plan the logistics for forming up and makes the day run more smoothly.

For more information, contact Clark at 403-823-8100 or go to www.drumhellerchamber.com.

Perennials are gardener's best friend Gardening is often seen as an art form to men and women with a green thumb. Once the landscape is designed, homeowners may not want to change much from year to year. That is where perennial plants can be an advantage. Designing a landscape and keeping the garden looking beautiful can take a keen eye. It also may require a lot of time and commitment. If home gardeners have to replant items year after year, gardening can become time-consuming and expensive. Turning to perennial plants and owers to serve as the anchor for a home garden can make the process easier. Perennials are plants that live indeďŹ nitely. In terms of owering plants, perennials will bloom every year. In essence, they have the staying power of shrubbery but are more delicate in nature and often appealing to

the eye. There are perennials for every season, soil type and sun exposure. Perennials come in a wide variety of blooming owers or attractive foliage. Chances are if a homeowner wants to add perennials to the garden, there is a variety available that will ďŹ t his or her needs. Here are some perennials that can be added to the garden: * ornamental grasses * asters * chrysanthemums * irises * poppies * milkweed * goldentufts * anemones * columbines * daylilies * peonies * hostas Once perennials are in place, there is relatively minimal maintenance that is required. The tune-ups that may be needed are some deadheading to promote new and stronger growth and some cleaning up after winter before the new blooming season takes place.

Once the early spring season arrives and the ground is not too muddy or rain-soaked, clear out any leaves and debris that have gathered around where perennials are located. Gardeners can also till the mulch or soil in these areas to aerate the planting beds. Using shears, cut down any dead grasses, stems and stalks from spent perennials that overwintered. Remove any dead wood and broken branches. Be careful not to trim springblooming shrubs because some owers bloom on year-old stems and this can cause the plant not to ower. Perennials that aren't owering as well as they used to or have dead centers may need to be divided to promote stronger growth. This should be done in early spring before the plant blooms or late fall before the winter arrives. Dividing plants

and replanting not only grows the garden, but also it is a healthy revitalization for the plant. Gardeners who prefer to N S S

and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds

around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold

RCMP warn of computer scam submitted| inSide Drumheller

For the many ways there is to make money, there may be just as many ways for scammers to coax you out of it. On March 21, the Drumheller RCMP received a complaint in relation to a document that popped up on the computer screen of the victim. This message indicated that it was from the Canadian Se-

curity Intelligence Service. The document looked official and advised the victim that their computer was used to visit pornography, or child pornography sites. In order to unlock this computer the victim must pay $100 through a payment house called U-Kash. An investigation was instigated and it was determined this is a scam that has surfaced in the last

two weeks or so. It originates from an Eastern European country. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins said the computer technicians the RCMP contacted advised this document could attach itself to emails etc., and be passed to other persons unknowingly. It will open itself up at a later time. The longer it stays in the computer the deeper it imbeds itself in the system and obtains other information about the victim. Directions on how to remove it can be found on the Internet at: http://www.uninstall-tool.com/ how-to-remove-canadian-security-intelligence-service-csis-vi-

rus-fake-alert-removal-help/. Should the victim provide their credit card information to pay the $100, then that persons credit card number is now subject to be abused. Hopkins warns that should an individual receive such a message or any message demanding money to report it to the RCMP. Do not send any money and be extremely suspect of any message requesting money or credit card information. RCMP warn residents to think before they click in light of a recent scam that is making the email rounds. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

A man is facing drug charges after an early morning disturbance alerted RCMP to what appears to be a drug den in the Bankview area. On Friday, March 30 at about 2 a.m. RCMP responded to a disturbance where a woman was seen smashing windows of a residence with a shovel. She claimed that someone was trying to kill her, and further more she had killed another person who had hurt her dog. Investigation caused the attending officers to enter into a suspect residence. Inside the home they found a lone male. There was also a quantity of what appeared to be illicit drugs including marijuana, hash, cocaine, psilocybin (mushrooms) and morphine. They also found drug paraphernalia scattered throughout the kitchen and living room area. A small injured dog was also found lying on the floor. The man was taken into custody, and the dog was taken to the Drumheller Veterinary Clinic for treatment. RCMP obtained a search warrant and seized the items. Kael N. Poirier, 36, has been charged with five counts of possession for the purposes of trafficking. He was remanded in custody and will appeared for a bail hearing April 4 The police continue its investigation and charges are pending against the female involved in the disturbance. Police are also pursuing an investigation associated with the treatment of the animal in the case.

Golf Association tees up helping schools teach golf Michael James | inSide Drumheller

Tom Zariski, former principal of DCHS and a current Town Councillor, is giving new meaning to the phrase “going clubbing.” In an effort to make teaching golf affordable for local schools, Zariski is collecting golf clubs, through the Pioneer Trail Centre, to donate to local schools. The program is called Clubs for Kids. Last year, the Drumheller Community Golf Association helped provide golf education to Greentree and St. Anthony’s elementary students through the National Golf in Schools program. Through the program both schools were given sets of plastic clubs and balls to help students learn the basics of golf. From there, Zariski wanted to

Salvation Army Thrift Store’s clubs. The Newcastle Recreation Association and the Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society donated the funds needed to buy the clubs. “With all these golf clubs sitting around collecting dust, why not donate them to schools, who can’t afford them,” said Zariski. “For example, the Salvation Army had a basement full of clubs, so I figured let’s get them out of there and send them somewhere they will be used.” Golf has many advantages explained Zariski. “Golf is a great sport. It gets kids outside and walking around. It’s also a social occasion and a nice time to get our with friends,” said Zariski. Zariski first was introduced

4399. Residents who have unused clubs can take them to the Pioneer Trail Centre in downtown Drumheller.

Taxes: Alison Redford’s plan No New Taxes. No Service Cuts. Alberta’s economic success has been built on a foundation of low taxes. We continue to have the lowest tax burden in Canada – with the lowest fuel tax, no payroll tax, no capital tax and no sales tax. That’s why the PC government introduced a three-year budget with no tax increases and no service cuts. It provides Albertans with the certainty they need to build a business, learn a trade or care for an aging parent. Improving services with no tax increases and no new taxes. That’s the Progressive Conservative Plan.

give junior high and high school students the tools to learn the sport as well. The problem was that golf clubs are prohibitively expensive. For example, a moderate quality set of new clubs can cost $500. Schools would need to buy multiple sets to accommodate students. Zariski, with support from the Golf Association, started an initiative to bring golf to the area schools and do a little housekeeping at the same time. Residents are encouraged to donate their old golf clubs to the Pioneer Trail Centre. Then, the Golf Association will pay for the clubs, thereby donating to the Pioneer Trail centre. Zariski also bought all of the

to the sport when he was a teenager in Edmonton. He and his friends would go shoot some golf in the river valley. Soon after though, Zariski stopped playing. It wasn’t until coming to Drumheller that he and fellow teachers picked up some clubs and the hobby again. Since then, Zariski has become an avid golfer, so much so that if the golf course was open in winter, he would at least consider playing a few rounds. “Golf is a sport for life. I used to play hockey, but couldn’t do it anymore as I got older. I can still get out and get some exercise playing golf,” said Zariski. For more information about the golf program, residents can contact Zariski at 403-823-

It’s Masters week, which means it’s a) the unofficial start of spring; b) golf’s first major of the season; and c) the beginning of wall-to-wall Golf Channel coverage of Tiger Woods. Woods, who went nearly three years without a PGA Tour triumph, is the most famous and most polarizing athlete on the planet (at least in the western world) and got himself into a little bit of trouble a couple of years ago, as you may have heard. His golf game went south and it seems like a good time to talk about his golf game, but I need knee surgery, so maybe some other time. Since his “trouble,� Woods underwent a swing change with Canadian instructor Sean Foley and last December finally won something — a limited field (18 of the world’s best ) tournament in California that he hosts. So the Tiger fans started getting excited again, with the Masters only four months away. So we were thinking about exploring that angle of his comeback, but then I strained my achilles tendon, so maybe later. In early March, Tiger shot a 62 in the final round of the Honda Classic to roar back from nine strokes behind to finish second to Rory McIlroy and put his fans into a state of near hysteria, with the Masters only a month away. But then he pulled out of the Cadillac World Golf Championship at Doral midway through the final round and the air went out of that balloon. Two weeks later, though, Woods not only contended, but finally won his first tournament since September, 2009, taking the Arnold Palmer Invitational by five strokes two weeks before the Masters, making him the overwhelming oddsmakers’ favourite for the Green Jacket at Augusta. His fans were giddy. Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 major titles was in Tiger’s sight again.

So should we discuss that situation here? Yes, of course. Ooops! What was that? Sorry, just crashed into a fire hydrant. There’s water everywhere. And there’s some blonde chasing me with a nine-iron. Talk to you later. After the Masters. Tell me how Tiger fares, OK? • Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, lamenting that Tiger moved away from Orlando and didn’t leave much in the way of a legacy: “He has his Tiger Woods Foundation in L.A.. He has huge TigerJam fund-raiser in Vegas. He has his PGA Tour event in D.C. He has branches of his Tiger Woods Learning Center for children in California, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C. and now in South Florida. Meanwhile, in Orlando, the only remembrance we have is the Tiger Woods Commemorative Fire Hydrant.â€? • Jim Trotter of SI.com, on Peyton Manning: “He is the quintessential pocket passer. He is more likely to run for office than he is for a first down.â€? • Comedy writer : “. . . Manning signed a $96 million, five-year contract with the Denver Broncos. Maybe the mile-high altitude will bring out that legendary Peyton Manning warmth and charisma.â€? • Perisho again: A 100-year-old grandmother will be a torchbearer carrying the Olympic flame through the streets of London. Her 300-metre leg of the relay will start on July 2 and end on July 11 or 12, depending on the wind.â€? • R.J. Currie of sportsdeke. com: “According to a Stanford University professor, high-performance vehicles don’t move much, but mostly stand around doing nothing 97 per cent of the time. In a related story, the Niners signed Randy Moss.â€? • David Whitley, FanHouse, on the New York Jets acquisition of Tim Tebow: “Love or

hate Tebow, Rex Ryan needed to tone down the circus he’s created. Instead, he’s bringing in the biggest elephant in the NFL room. . . . If the coaching staff thought (Mark) Sanchez’s arm was erratic, wait until Tebow throws his first screen pass into the East River.â€? • Scott Ostler of the San Francisco Chronicle: â€?The Broncos didn’t care where Tebow went, as long as he left town quickly, before God buried Denver in a massive avalanche.â€? • Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, on the Tebow trade to the Jets: “New Yorkers have already noticed a much more wholesome aura in their city since Timmy Terrific came to town. The smog has cleared, taxi drivers are staying in their own lanes and Antonio Cromartie is practising contraception.â€? • Reggie Hayes of the Fort Wayne (Ind.) News-Sentinel, on Manning going from the Colts to the Broncos: “Turns out Manning will play for teams only with horse-related nicknames.â€? • Headline at TheOnion.com: “Peyton Manning re-injures neck saying no to Titans.â€? • Budd Bailey of the Buffalo (N.Y.) News, after Kansas football coach Charlie Weis says people only think of him as ‘some arrogant, obnoxious, loudmouth punk from New Jersey’: “Not so, Charlie — we didn’t know you were from New Jersey.â€? • ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel, on CBS raking in more than $600 million in ad revenue from the NCAA tournament: “Of that, the players receive — what’s zero per cent of $600 million?â€? • Brad Miller, a congressman from North Carolina who happens to be a UNC alumnus: “If Duke was playing against the Taliban then I’d have to pull for the Taliban.â€?
