inSide STREETERS The State of Louisiana, U.S.A. passed a law banning men from wearing baggy pants that sit too low, so inSide Drumheller asks: “Should governments have to regulate what people wear?”
Mike Cairns “No, the government shouldn’t be allowed to say what people wear.”
Ians Cassels “I don’t think they should be saying what people can’t wear.”
Brandon Huntley “It’s too cold here to dress like that. It also seems a little dictatorial to tell people what to wear.”
Beth Bayley “They have no right to do that. Their mom’s should be saying something, though.”

OPINION
Town releases proposed 2013 tax rates Total tax to see 5.2 per cent increase Michael James | inSide Drumheller
One of life’s certainties is on the rise in Drumheller. The Drumheller Town Council, at the most recent meeting of the Committee of the Whole, had their first look at the proposed 2013 tax rate. The bottom line for residents, is an average total increase, across all residential ratepayers in Drumheller, of 5.2 per cent, or $96. The increase is due to a roughly 5 per cent increase in education tax and a large increase in the requisition asked for by the Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation. In both cases, the Town has no control over the requisitions. “You have to put the caveat on there that the increase includes the education and seniors requisitions,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “It’s a result of downloading from the province. They stepped away from seniors health care and put it on the backs of the municipalities.” When looking at the municipal tax rate (minus the two requisitions), a roughly 3 per cent increase is proposed. “We were going to maintain the 3 per cent increase each year for three years and we’ve done that,” said Mayor Yemen. “Some might see over a 3 per cent increase, because of their assessment.” Bylaw 10.13, which will set the Town’s 2013 tax rate, proposes the residential mill rate be raised to 7.2268 and the commercial mill rate in-
crease to 11.5074. In the end, the Town aims to raise $7,712,073.02 in municipal taxes. The requisitions for education and the Seniors Foundation total $2,743,254.69 and $362,234.78, respectively. The other change in store for commercial taxes is the removal of the business tax earlier this year. “Previously we had a business licence and business tax. The licence is based on what kind of business you’re running and the tax was based on the assessment of the property,” said Bill Wulff, Acting Director of Corporate Services. “We removed the business tax, but the money still has to come from somewhere. So, we added it to the commercial side of property taxes.” Roughly $80,000 was expected to be raised from the business tax. Now, that amount will be collected from more accounts. Businesses who had paid the tax in previous years should see a reduction in that regard. However, others, who had not paid the business tax before, will see a slight increase. “By doing that, the $80,000 is spread over a much larger assessment. Businesses paying the tax before will see a reduction,” said Wulff. The tax rates have yet to be passed by Council. It is expected first reading will be held at the Monday, April 22, meeting of Town Council. “It has to be brought back to Council for three readings. I don’t anticipate any changes to it, though,” said May-
Nacmine blaze brought under control The Drumheller Fire Department was called out 7:46 p.m. Wednesday evening in response to a grass fire on the west end of Nacmine. A resident had a fire going in his fire pit, but had put too much wood in. When he left the fire unattended for a
moment, wind carried embers to a patch of dry grass nearby, which then lit the grass on fire. Firefighters quickly brought the blaze under control and are warning residents to be careful when burning anything. inSide photo by O.R. Sheddy

Culture Minster delivers $25k boost to Dinofest organizers Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Honourable Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Culture, made the organizers of Dinofest’s day on Wednesday, delivering a $25,000 boost in advance of this year’s event. On April 17, Minister Klimchuk was on a whirlwind tour through the valley and along the
way, she presented the Drumheller Festival Society with a cheque for $25,000, a grant from the Community Initiative Program. “The Community Initiative Program is wonderful because it helps groups go that little extra mile,” said Klimchuk. “As Minister, it is so great to come in person and say thank-you and keep up the good work.”
The Honourable Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Culture presented the Drumheller Festival Committee with $25,000 for the Community Initiative Program. Pictured are (l-r) committee members Mike Dooley,
The Community Initiative Program is a matching grant program utilizing lottery-generated funds. “Programs like this help build Alberta and make our province stand out,” sad Klimchuk. Dinofest is going into its second year and organizers are looking to make it bigger and better. Some of the plans include high caliber mu-
Leanna Mohan, Ryan Semchuk, the Honourable Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Culture, and Brooke Christianson.
sicians, a larger partnership with local business and vendors, and rather than trying to take visitors from the site to the Tyrrell, the museum is bringing some of its programming to the site. The festival is an event enjoyed by locals but also is a tool to draw visitors to the valley. While last year, its marketing focus was geared towards visitation from Edmonton, this year they are looking at attracting day-tripper traffic from Calgary and surrounding areas. The event employs 50 volunteers and this year they are looking at having in the area of 75 coming to help out. The committee is also looking beyond Dinofest as it builds towards the future. “We formed the Drumheller Festival Society for Dinofest, but our overarching goal is to be a go-to committee for other people in town, maybe start a data base for tents and equipment or help with grant applications,” said Leanna Mohan, member of the committee. “We believe Drum-

heller has more potential for cultural development.” Klimchuk praised the group for itsspirit of volunteerism and collaboration. “When I travel around Alberta as Minister, all the volunteers are what makes our province … when I come here and meet a group like yours it is fantastic, and thank you for all your efforts,” said Klimchuk. The next DinoFest meeting will be held Thursday, April 25 at 5 p.m. at the B.C.F. There is also a food vendor meeting scheduled for Friday, April 26, 2 p.m. at The Ramada.

SpringFest poster artist “hooked” on festival Michael James | inSide Drumheller
There is less than a month until East Coulee rocks the weekend away for its annual SpringFest. In anticipation of that, the 2013 SpringFest poster has been unveiled. The man behind the now iconic posters is parttime resident of East Coulee, Michael Dangelmaier creative director of Karo Group in Calgary. Dangelmeier volunteered to create the posters and give the long-running festival a new image several years ago. “It’s a photograph of a fender guitar, a photo of a robin Gwen shot sitting on a post outside our house in East Coulee one spring, and then the background is a landscape shot I took,” said Dangelmaier. Dangalmeir created the poster with the help of Karo Group artist Hans Freistater. The year before, the poster had four turn of the century musicians given a KISS makeover. Two years ago, the poster had a coal miner, an icon of the Valley, trade his mining tools for a good ol’ fashioned keytar. The posters have given SpringFest a fresh, rock n’ roll, and a little bit quirky brand. “Essentially, every year the poster was different and there would be a reveal. Branding is about creating a persuasive experience and delivering that over and over,” said Dangelmaier. Like many, Dangelmaier and his wife K. Gwen Frank, fell in love with East Coulee and its quiet atmosphere and decided to buy a house there. “We were looking for a little getaway place not too far out of Calgary. We knew a little bit about East Coulee and bought a place there to hang out,” said Dangelmaier. “All of sudden, in the spring, there was this festival down the street from us. So, we checked it out and we were hooked.” From there, Dangelmaier volunteered and found himself managing one of the stages at SpringFest. The next year he decided to help re-brand the festival. With Dangelmaier’s help, SpringFest will have some new talent taking the stage; Harry Manx. “We thought it would be nice for Harry to be exposed to a slightly different audience, so we’re

bringing him in on the Mother’s Day Sunday concert,” said Dangelmaier. SpringFest organizer Brent Noland felt Dangelmaier has made a big impact on the festival. “Over the years, he’s been helping with sound and then donated that first poster with the coal miner. For me, that was a big change in the look of SpringFest,” said Noland. “He came up with that hippie-style lettering brand, which is his specialty. He’s really an artistic and business genius, and an amazing guy to have in your backyard in East Coulee.” Dangelmaier is already excited about what’s in store for this year. “I’ve got family coming in and I’ve been trying to promote it to my musically-minded friends,” said Dangelmaier. “Oh yeah, wouldn’t miss it for the world.

This coming week is Volunteer Week, and members of Drumheller’s volunteer community demonstrated the spirit of the valley to the Minister of Culture last Wednesday. The Honourable Heather Klimchuk was hosted by the Town of Drumheller to a luncheon and the town showcased some of its volunteer pride. “We have an expression in Drumheller and it is one word, ‘roar.’ Everyone who is a volunteer is an embodiment of that word,” said Community Services director Paul Salvatore. “What does roar mean? Roar is the passion and connection we offer the community in Drumheller. Roar is all the things we do working together to make our community a better place.” The Minister was treated to a snap shot of just a few of the volunteer organizations in the valley
as well as a presentation on the innovative Volunteer Drumheller website. Cathy Smoliak explained the innovative tool was introduced about three years ago to help connect those wishing to volunteer with groups looking for volunteers. This website has been effective, and the Drumheller Festival Committee has referenced it as a resource it has used as they go forward with the second annual Dinofest coming this June. “They (the ministry) had commented to us prior to arranging the meeting they were very impressed with the work Volunteer Drumheller is doing,” said Salvatore. The Minister also learned more about the East Coulee Spring Fest from Brent Noland and was even presented with tickets to this year’s show. There were also presentations from Cora Bolt of the Family Fun Committee, and Cindy Stelmaschuk of the Big Country
Anti Violence Association. DVSS student Maria Patterson, who is on the cusp of achieving her silver Duke of Edinburgh Award spoke of her volunteer experience and aspirations, including a trip she is planning to Ghana this summer. DVSS Principal Curtis LaPierre also spoke about some of the initiatives of the school including its Seniors Dinner, which will be turning 20 this year. Klimchuk was appreciative of the presentations. “Volunteers make our province hum. All of you here today are a huge part of the puzzle,” she said. “Being here today and feeling the spirit and passion that is alive and well in Drumheller—I appreciate it. “I want to express my thanks to you, and on behalf of Premier Redford, we’ll continue to build Alberta, through volunteerism and partnerships with all levels of Government, that’s what it is all about.”

SPRING April - June
It’s Not Too Early To Get Outside
Put down your catalogs, put on your gloves, and get a jump-start on spring chores In Canada our late springs are not easy for starting gardens, especially vegetable gardens. While our American friends, and fellow Canadians in Vancouver and Victoria, are busy in their gardens the rest of the country still has a ways to go before setting foot on the soil. Fear not, Mother Nature has a way of catching up so that the northern parts will get a growing season. So why not put on some rubber boots and try to speed things up? Well, for one thing, tromping around a wet garden just compresses the soil and makes your boots dirty. You can also do a number on the inside of your home if any of the wet clumps of earth get inside. There’s no need to push the rites of spring in the big garden when you can get other things in order that are just as important. Compost Treatment - Most ardent gardeners have a compost bins or piles by the shed, or other out-of-the-way places that holds leaves, decaying vegetation and kitchen compost. This mixture has been sitting all winter long and now it is time to turn it over and get some oxygen into the mix to speed up the decomposition. Garden compost is vital to the health of the whole yard and not just the garden. Besides the fertilizing component compost provides great mulches and other soil improvements for a great price: free. By preparing the organic compost before your garden is ready to plant you can provide great soil conditioners and nutrients. And instead of buying mulch it will be right there to keep the soil loose for water retention and aeration of the roots. Power Tools Preparation - One of the most disheartening sounds in the spring is the sputtering of garden power tools such as aerators and tillers, machines that won’t start. Add lawn mowers and weed whackers to the list of lawn and garden tools and the average homeowner may have an orchestra of worn out sounds. Well before the yard is ready begin to get your power tools into shape in the order that they are needed. If something doesn’t work there is plenty of time to get it fixed. This includes getting
blades sharpened and scraping off rust flakes and coating bare steel with rust paint. Clean Out the Garage and/or Shed - Many people begin to think about their gardening tools and other garden necessities on the day they want to begin. After a long winter the storage area, whether it’s a shed or garage, may not be a pretty site and April is not the time to start getting things together. While the snow is on the ground take a few hours every weekend to get your tools in shape and make a list of supplies that you will need. If the fall cleanup wasn’t enough to get rid of the clutter make the spring cleaning especially thorough. Then, when the ground is dry, you are ready to jump in. Seeds and Plants - When it comes to tomatoes and other plants many Canadians begin with seeds in late February. The small plants are allowed to grow on warm sunny days behind the safety of glass either in a war greenhouse or livingroom area. On warm, spring days these plants are taken outside to test the weather on their own. When the weather dictates that planting is ready to go the plants are over a foot tall and have been allowed to adapt to their new weather patterns. For some type of plants and flowers it is a good time to order them so that the landscaping establishment will have them on hand when the warm weather brings out a flood of buyers. Pruning - In Canada any time from late February on is a good time for pruning trees and shrubs. This is only for those trees and shrubs that are not spring blooming otherwise the beauty of the blossoming will be missed. During this time the thinned out bushes can be cleaned of debris that was not easy to reach during the fall. Yard Clean-Up - After pruning the rest of the yard can be cleaned of debris that has accumulated over the winter or things that were missed in the fall. This includes spruce bough and leaves that were spread out to protect the flowerbeds in the winter. In addition burlap covers for shrubs and trees can be taken off. Be sure to spread these out and
Stay safe this farming season.
dry them in the sun before storage or any dampness might lead to mold growth. Remember, everything that is put away now should be itemized in preparation for taking out and putting in place in the fall. Mulching - When the weather begins to get hot and the ground dries then the garden work can begin. Also remember that the soil should not be allowed to get too dry or the roots will burn. This is where compost and garden mulch will come in handy. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready for the growing season to begin!

Salmon-Asparagus Springtime Salad In the spirit of springtime, I wanted to cook accordingly. I thought perhaps this would chase away those winter blahs! It is a very pretty salad – a nice choice to serve to guests, although I quite enjoyed it on my own. The following day, I freshened up the leftovers by adding beets, spinach and a bit of goat cheese to it. I didn’t make more dressing, but used a sweet onion vinaigrette, which was nice and light.

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!
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, don’t be pushy with authority figures because such an attitude is not in your best interest. You are better off putting on the charm and getting them to see your softer side.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, avoid getting involved in a family spat unless someone seeks your advice. Let your relatives work things out on their own and only offer your thoughts when prompted.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, now is not the time to talk about shared expenses or the division of labor in a relationship. You’ll only be starting an argument, and you do not need that right now, Virgo. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Staying neutral is the best way to go this week, Libra. Avoid any knee-jerk reactions and practice your poker face. There are some opportunities for fun on Thursday.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, although it seems like everyone is tense, you feel free as a bird. That could be because you have worked hard to free up time to get away.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, demonstrate grace under pressure at work this week, even if you feel tempted to lash out at others. Take the high road and you will be rewarded.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you’re praised for your marvelous imagination and sense of whimsy, you also know when to get down to business.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you might run into a snag with your spouse or partner over shared finances. Rather than settle issues this week, you’re better off waiting a few days.

CRIME RCMP make another drug seizure on Highway 9 Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller RCMP have made another sizable seizure of drugs along Highway 9, the third in less than two months. On April 11, shortly before 9 p.m. a Drumheller RCMP officer stopped a vehicle on Highway 9 near Drumheller for what appeared to be a violation of a vehicle equipment regulation. The officer observed indicators associated with the trafficking of drugs. A male was arrested and subsequently his vehicle was searched. This result-
ed in the seizure of what appears to 500 grams of cocaine, with an estimated street value of $50,000. This seizure comes just weeks after the RCMP seized more than $65,000 worth of Chrystal Meth and hydro morphine pills. On March 18, two Saskatoon men were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. Two weeks earlier, two B.C. men were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking after RCMP seized about $75,000 worth of Marijuana on March 2. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins said, judging by the number of seizures on
Highway 9, they have shown that this is a corridor for transporting drugs. “These drugs are not stopping in the community, these are passing right through the community. These are on their way to Saskatoon, but they could just as easily be stopping here,” said Hopkins of the Thursday night bust. “There are drugs travelling across the province all the time,” said Hopkins. “We have done enough stops to indicate this is common access to Northern Saskatchewan.” Dwayne Sorenson, 30, of Prince Albert Saskatchewan has been

Residents invited to Trash Challenge Monday Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Volunteers are encouraged to head out this Monday to participate in the the Earth Day Trash Challenge. filephoto
While spring has been a long time coming for the valley, local volunteers are gearing up for another Earth Day Challenge this Monday. As the ice melts, plants experience a rebirth. However, as the snow recedes, it reveals a mess of litter that was buried for the season. Patrice Wolfe is hoping they can inspire volunteers to take some time to show pride and help clean up Drumheller. She admits that with the lingering winter, posing a trash challenge has not been on the minds of too many, however a little work can make a big dierence.
On Monday, April 22, the Heartwood is going to be ground zero for this year’s clean up. Top Waste is bringing a dumpster they are aiming to ďŹ ll and local artist Vicki Myer designed this year’s posters. Garbage bags and gloves will be at the Heartwood. Wolfe said they are hoping to focus on pathways. “We have had some guests out and they have said they are covered in dog poo,â€? said Wolfe. She adds they are contacting schools to be part of the day and Trish Parker will have a crew from the Drumheller Institution cleaning along the railway tracks.

Budding thespians will have a chance to take the stage this summer. Kaleidoscope Theatre, Drumheller’s homegrown theatre troupe, is looking for volunteers to help in their upcoming production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic Oklahoma! Auditions will be held on April 21 from 4 to 7 p.m. and April 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Kaleidoscope Theatre. “People will need to have a song prepared and will need to do a cold line read,â€? said Deanne Zariski with Kaleidoscope Theatre. “We need all sorts of people to audition, especially guys. We have parts for all ages.â€? Due to the larger scale of the production, in addition to people to be on stage, volunteers are needed backstage to help bring everything together. “We are deďŹ nitely looking for people to work backstage doing larger roles, like stage manager, sound, and set construction. We need

the actors of course, but the behind-the-scenes stu is just as important,â€? said Zariski. The production will be the ďŹ rst summer production for the theatre since they did Hello Dolly in 2008. The goal is to continue to have regular productions throughout the year. “We’re trying to do a season with two shows a year at least, have other events in between, and try to do a summer show every second year at least,â€? said Zariski. Oklahoma! tells the story of two cowboys in 1906 as they compete with a ranch hand and travelling peddler for the women they love. “It’s a great musical. There is a great ensemble, catchy songs, and it’s a classic. It’s good for all ages,â€? said Zariski. For more information and to volunteer contact Zariski at 403-8209593.
21, 4 to 7 p.m. and April 22, 7 to 9 p.m. Volunteers are also needed to fill a number of crucial backstage roles as well.

Two area female hockey players will be on the provincial stage at Hockey Alberta’s ATB Challenge Cup. The ATB Challenge Cup brings together the top bantam aged players in a provincial showdown with three teams from the North and three teams from the South. The tournament is May 2-5 in Medicine Hat. Drumheller hockey player Kierra Scollo, daughter of Rhonda and Carmelo, was selected for the South Flyers and Erica Nelson, daughter of Rod and Danna Nelson of Rumsey was selected for the South Coyotes. The tryouts were in Carstairs April 4-6, and
the players learned of their selection this week. Kierra, 14, is a student at St. Anthony’s School and played her Atom, Peewee and one year of Bantam hockey with Drumheller Miner Hockey’s co-ed teams. She then headed to play for the Strathmore Storm Bantam Female T1 team in the Rocky Mountain Female Hockey League. She has excelled and in her ďŹ rst year, she was named captain. “It’s awesome,â€? said Keirra’s mother Rhonda, adding the tournament is a stepping stone to higher levels of hockey and is an opportunity for scouts to assess players. “There is going to be more and more opportunities coming out of this,â€? said Rhonda. While Keirra has gone south to play hockey, Er-

said Erica.

looking forward to.â€? According to a release, the ATB Alberta Challenge Program begins in April every other year with players trying out at the regional selection camps.
