Volunteers were out in force on Thursday, April 22, scouring the parks, downtown and green areas of Drumheller picking up garbage and beautifying Drumheller neighbourhoods. Thursday was Earth Day and many groups in the community rose to the first Drumheller Valley Trash Challenge. A group from DARTS were working away at the Participark on Riverside Drive. The day concluded with a community barbecue and celebration at the Heartwood Inn and Spa to thank the dozens of volunteers for showing pride in the community. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

inSide STREETERS Arrests made in alleged Thursday, April 22, 2010 fraudulent use of credit was Earth Day in Canada, a day designed to inspire card information awareness and appreciation for the earth’s environment. inSide Drumheller asked “How do you celebrate the earth?”

Ty Hollands “Today, for Earth Day I chose to walk instead of drive, and I am enjoying the day walking about instead of spending time on the computer.”

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Drumheller RCMP have made arrests that led to the seizure of hundreds of credit card numbers, and the information to make them usable. On Saturday, April 10, police learned from a local business of four people attending to the store and using a credit card in a suspicious manner. RCMP oﬃcers located the subjects and they were arrested on a variety of charges. Subsequent investigation revealed they were in possession of hundreds of credit card numbers, and the associated security codes that were stolen from a Calgary business, the place of employment of one of the subjects. They were in possession of credit card blanks, and had the ability to make additional cards. In addition, property related to crime, and illicit drugs were located and seized.

Valery Zielinsky, 46, of Calgary has been charged with fraudulent possession of credit card data, possession of stolen property, and possession of methamphetamine. She is to appear in provincial court in Calgary on Friday, May 28. Anthony Golka, 43, and Holly Boutland are both charged with possession of stolen property and are also to appear in court in Drumheller on Friday, May 28. Police say the matters are still under investigation and it is believed there will be other charges laid. These credit card numbers have been used in other jurisdictions. Other police departments and credit card companies have been advised.

gone. Your card issuer will cancel your card and issue you a new one. • Make it a habit to regularly check your transactions online or on your monthly statement. If you notice charges that you didn’t make, report them to your card issuer right away. • Never give out your card number over the phone or Internet unless you know you are dealing with a reputable company. • Protect your Personal Identiﬁcation Number (PIN): don’t share it with anyone or write it down – memorize it. • Sometimes scammers will try to trick people into revealing information about their credit cards either over the phone or through e-mail. It’s important to know that your credit card company or bank would never call to ask for personal information such as your credit card number, expiry number, PIN, or the security number on the back of your card. • Protect your credit cards like you protect your cash. Never leave them unattended in your car or at work. • Always check your card when it’s returned to you after a purchase. Make sure the card is yours. • When traveling, carry your cards with you or make sure they are in a secure location such as a hotel safe. • Sign the back of a new card as soon you get it. • Make a list of all your cards and their numbers and keep the list in a secure place. This key information is helpful when reporting lost or stolen cards. Riverside Value Drug Mart

I recently had the honor of attending the 80th anniversary celebration of the Drumheller Music Festival. The committee who planned the event did a first class job, not missing one fine detail that I could see. How wonderful to reflect on all the talent and opportunity that have come out of this valley! And how fortunate we are to have had so many devoted people keeping such a big part of Drumheller alive. Exceptional talent was displayed by numerous gifted performers from recent years to long ago. Many spoke to the audience about their history and how much this festival had to do with where they are today. One performance included 4th generation Music Festival participants. Another of the highlights was a rendition of personal memories from two Music Festival “Pioneers.” Aileen Eno and Helen Holm gave an entertainingly witty and nostalgic look at the early years of planning, performing, adjudicators, teachers and awards. They reminisced about

all the driving forces behind festival, including the men’s roles, and shared many bloopers with the crowd. It was amazing to go back in time and realize the growth that has taken place as well as seeing both the changes and the commonalities. This was an occasion I wanted to spread the word about in hopes that it will impact a few (if not more) people on the importance of keeping the Music Festival alive and thriving. I know there are a lot of people out there who could be playing a signiﬁcant part in this important aspect of Drumheller - both in performing as well as volunteering. There are classes to enter groups such as Scouts, Sunday Schools, Brownies and Guides, as well as families simply putting together their musical talents. There is even an entry for mime which goes to show you don’t have to possess musical talent. Speech Arts also present many opportunities for individuals and groups. I look forward to the 100th anniversary of Music Festival with trust and faith in great inspiration to come. Sincerely,

(pending)

Have health questions? We’re here to help.

Chances are you’re not alone when it comes to health matters that affect us the most. Here, your questions are answered by our local pharmacists of Riverside Value Drug Mart.

Q: A:

Do drugs really expire after their expiry date? Isn’t this just a marketing ploy to sell more medications? The rule that drug companies have to follow for expiry dates of medications is that the drug must be AT LEAST 80% as potent as it claims upon expiry. Therefore the further past the expiry date, the less effective your medication will be. However, another important thing to consider besides effectiveness is safety. Drugs begin to degrade over time and can actually change into other chemicals. For example: Aspirin (or acetylsalicylic acid) breaks down into salicylic acid which is found in topical acne products but is not safe for consumption. Another thing to think about with other products is how long they are good for after they’ve been opened. Eye drops are the best example I can give for this: the product you purchased may not “expire” until Mar 2012 if it remains unopened but the sterility of the product can only be ensured for 30 days after it has been opened (the worry is that bacteria can get into the bottle) so you should be throwing away any remaining portion of your eye drops after a month and starting a fresh bottle. If you don’t use your eye drops very frequently, try purchasing the single use alternatives. Another example is some brands of test strips for blood glucose monitors are only good for 30 days after opening the canister and removing the first strip. I have a hard time swallowing pills, and always end up gagging.Is it ok to crush them up, as I recently was told otherwise. Splitting or crushing pills to make them easier to swallow is okay for certain pills, but some formulations such as extended release or enteric coated tablets must be swallowed whole. Otherwise it can cause too much of the medication to be released at once or they may not be able to be used effectively by the body because they can’t be absorbed properly. Therefore it is always best to check with your pharmacist before crushing any tablets or breaking open any capsules.

Volcano crisis misses peak travel season for Drumheller vacationers Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller While planes are just beginning to fly following a volcanic eruption in Iceland that has already cost the airline industry millions of dollars, Lee Reznechenko of Marlin Travel said it could have been worse for Drumheller travellers if the same incident occurred just a month later. On April 14, a glacier-covered volcano in southern Iceland erupted, spilling a cloud of ash over Europe, grounding flights as a precaution. Reznechenko said to her knowledge, only one of the Drumheller agency’s customers was caught in the shuffle as airlines waited for the skies to clear. “I think we had one guy who got out today (Tuesday) said Reznechenko. “A lot of clients haven’t taken off yet.” She explains the company’s bigger demand for European travel comes closer to summer. “Our big push would be a little later than this so we are kind of lucky,” she said. “Usually (customers travel) from the end of May and onwards, so it hasn’t affected too many of our clients specifically, but I know it is a mess out there, and it is going to take a while to clean up.” She says the agency is kept abreast of developments and updates of travel conditions, and expects now that flights are resuming, it will take a while before the airlines catch up. “When you think of the airports they are not flying out of, they are some of the world’s biggest, the number of people going through are amazing,” she said. “You wouldn’t think one little volcano would have that much effect, but it does.” With the one client that was stranded, she said the agency tried to help him along, but she said it appears travellers are having better luck working on their situation on the ground at the airports. Reports say it is expected to take four days before the backlog of travellers will be cleared. At the peak of the closures, the volcano cost the airline industry

an estimated US$400 million a day.

that he held until 2005 when he departed to work as a professor of biological sciences at the University of Alberta. He is also currently a research associate at the Tyrrell. “I still want to be a resource to the museum as much as I can be,” he told The Drumheller Mail in 2005. “It’s a great institution and the collection…we have all made contributions to it, and it is a world class collection. We’ll continue, all of us, no matter where we go, to always have roots there, and certainly all want to be resources for them.” In addition to the reams of research he has completed in the badlands, he has led, or been a part of expeditions all over the globe including the Gobi Desert, China, Argentina and Antarctica. His research interests focus on dinosaur palaeontology, with a particular interest for theropods. Dr. Currie is being inducted along with many other notable Alberta personalities including former Premier Ralph Klein, artist Alex Janvier and Robert

Steadward, founder of Landmark Homes. The objective of the Order of Alberta as written in the legislation is to “accord recognition to those persons who have rendered service of the greatest distinction and of singular excellence for or on behalf of the residents of Alberta.” It is the highest honour the province can bestow on a resident. “One of the things I’ve always valued about the Alberta spirit is our ability to pioneer fresh approaches and diﬀerent ways of thinking,” said the Honourable Norman Kwong, Lieutenant Governor and Chancellor of the Order. “These eight remarkable Albertans have all made very positive contributions to our province, and they have done so while forging a unique path and encouraging others to follow their lead.” The new members will be invested in a ceremony on October 20, 2010.

Tyrrell helps Paris museum with international exhibition Pascale Taylor | inSide Drumheller

The Royal Tyrrell Museum was called upon by the Paris-based Museum of Natural History to help with an international exhibition which opened its doors on April 14, 2010, themed “In the Shadow of the Dinosaurs.” Bringing together specimens from many countries, including China, Belgium, Bolivia, Morocco and Germany, as well as the Paris museum’s own collection, the exhibition displays five of the Tyrrell Museum’s specimens, the largest one being an Albertosaurus. “It’s always good to be recognized in these major institutions around the world," said Andrew Neuman, the director of the Tyrrell Museum, who attended the opening in Paris. "International collaboration is something we like to do and it’s nice for a fairly young player like us to be able to cooperate with a museum that was started during the French revolution. There’s an important historic collection there." Approached over five years ago about the possibility of taking part in an international travelling exhibit, the museum received a contingency from Paris for an initial discussion with Dr. Phil Currie, then the curator of dinosaurs for the museum. About three years ago, plans started to firm up and the project, spearheaded by

the French, became serious. Originally, the grand plan was to use the Tyrrell’s Tyrannosaurus rex, but due to logistics and space available, the project got scaled back to something more manageable. Five specimens were shipped to France at the end of February. Pieces sent included a large mammal and three dinosaurs, the largest one being the Albertosaurus, and is on display as you enter the exhibition. As well as oﬀering to help with supplying specimens, one of the Tyrrell museum’s scientists, François Therrien, who studies the palaeoecology of extinct animals, also became a consultant for the project, to plan the storyline and ensure its accuracy Divided in four sections, it explores the reasons for the dinosaurs’ extinction and also tries to see if any The Albertosaurus on display at the Museum of Natural History in Paris is one of the five specimens supconclusions can be drawn plied by the Tyrrell Museum.

The story line ﬁrst establishes what was alive at the same time as the dinosaurs. It then tells the story of the extinction and explains the growth and development of the other groups without the presence of the dinosaurs. To conclude, the exhibition discusses man’s role in potentially speeding up the next extinction. The exhibition ends on February 2011 and, depending on its success, may then travel to other localities.

What do you like best about Drumheller? By far it’s the people who live here, and the fine circle of friends I’ve somehow managed to acquire! And there are wonderful opportunities for playing music here, as well. If there were one thing you could change about Drumheller, what would it be? I love so many things about it here. But I’m puzzled by the annoyance some residents seem to express towards the tourists that choose our town as a destination; tourism contributes in a huge way to our local economy and to our unique Drumheller identity...as far as I can see, their presence here is a wonderful asset. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? You mean aside from Drumheller? Nowhere, unless I could take my friends with me. Have you ever taken a life changing decision? Yes. To decide to ask a friend for guitar lessons when I was 19. What do you do in your spare time? Spare time? What’s that? Your life’s best achievement? Hmmm...I guess a highlight would be having one of my portrait drawings, of Albert Einstein, reproduced 9 feet tall on a wall of the Albert Einstein Memorial Museum in Austria, years ago. What are your strengths? I’m blessed with the dual gifts of persistent optimism and unbounded curiosity. Any weaknesses? I’m kind of an emotional softy...I don’t like conflict...but my job up on the hill has real-

this. ly bolstered my ongoing resolution to overcome this What makes you happy? I really like making people feel good about themselves, even if it’s just for a moment in passing. If you were granted three wishes from an angel or genie, what would they be? To invent a cheap household appliance to extract fuel-grade hydrogen from waste water. To make terrorism weapons suddenly acquire the density of a white dwarf star. Down to the core of the earth they go! To instantly raise every human’s I.Q. by 15 points. Some people could probably use 20. If you could have one super power what would it be? Perpetual time travel, as a silent, invisible observer. If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a 10 year old kid, what advice would you give yourself? “Practice, practice, practice. And practice the hard stuﬀ, not the easy stuﬀ. And next time you’re tempted to climb really high on a really old rope... WALK AWAY!” Words to live by? For years, my personal motto has been the Three L’s: “to Learn, to Love, and to Leave a Legacy”.

by C. Aiello

It really amazes me how one man can so polarize a nation. Depending on who you talk to, or to which news network you listen, Barrack Obama is either a Marxist bent on destroying all that is good about America, or he is the saviour who will bring America out of the darkness. There seems to be no middle ground. When passing his health care reform bill (“Obamacare”) for instance, the House was black and white in its vote, with every Democrat voting “yeah”, every Republican, “Nay”. No give, no take. I suppose the change of socialism was first levelled at President Obama when he “bought” General Motors and fired its CEO. Of course his aim was not to take government control of one of the world’s biggest employers, it was done to save the company and those in its employ. Of course those who didn’t like it viewed it as a step forward socialism, but those who cried for the government to do something, viewed it as saving their jobs, their homes and their futures. It was a case of pleasing most of the people most of the time, but then along came that bug-bear, the health care system, and the funding thereof. It is a vexatious thing, on which more government have spent more money and more time than on any one thing outside the military. Americans can’t say they weren’t warned, and they are protesting now after the much amended bill has passed. President Obama said during his campaign that he would reform the health care system. With close to 50 million Americans without health insurance, you’d think reforming the system, allowing more coverage and better access would be a slam dunk (I did say health care and its funding were vexatious). Passage of the reform bill seems to have divided America like nothing else since the Vietnam War. That’s Americans, that’s health care, and that’s socialism, the premise of which works perfectly on paper, but don’t try to sell it to Americans, they’re not buying.

AUTOS Kendra Hutchinson… producing Ten Times Two for Rosebud Studio Stage seat, Hutchinson is producing Ten Times Two by David Belke. The story follows Ephraim, a man damned to wander the earth forever, as he attempts to make Constance, a mortal woman, fall in love with him. “First and foremost it’s a love story,” Hutchinson says. “It starts in a fairytale-esque fashion but it changes into something real.” Hutchinson is also performing in the play as Constance, and the challenge of playing the same woman through ten different reincarnations is one she’s looking forward to. “I’m excited for the challenge of playing so many characters,” she says. “They are all very different but they all have Constance at their cores. It’s the different circumstances that alter her attitude.” As for the new adventure of producing, Hutchinson says, “It is a challenging thing for me, as I prefer being told what to do and it’s hard to be the person doing the telling.” Each student must produce a final project before they graduate from RSA but the hard work is worth the effort. As Hutchinson says, “It’s great seeing a show come together.” Director Mark Lewandowski is enjoying the process of bringing this love story to life as well. “It’s interesting, as I don’t really believe in the soul-mate concept. Certainly there’s attraction, but love is a choice,” he says. “This play does make some interesting comments about that, and does support that idea that love is more than just sudden thing. It grows and takes work and depending on the baggage we carry, it may not be possible.” Ten Times Two by David Belke runs at the Rosebud Studio Stage May 2 and 3, 2010 with performances at 1:30 pm and 7:30 pm both days. Tickets can be booked through Little Country Blessings or over the phone at 403-6772271.

Legislation introduced to ban cell phone use while driving Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Police working in Alberta will have one more tool at their disposal in dealing with distracted drivers, if Bill 16 in the legislature is passed. Bill 16 is touted as the most comprehensive distracted driving legislation in Canada, and proposes a ban on hand-held cell phones. It also restricts the use of other hand-held electronic devices while driving, and limits distracting activities such as texting, reading, writing and personal grooming. “It is a very powerful tool for police,” Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins tells inSide Drumheller. Drivers ticketed with any of these identified activities face a fine of $172, but no demerit points. Drivers can face additional charges if they commit other moving violations while

violating the distracted driving law. “This is a great step forward for traﬃc safety in our province,” said Frank Oberle, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security. “Bill 16 is part of a comprehensive law enforcement strategy to help continue reducing fatalities and injuries on our roadways.” Hopkins said the changes are important because it removes some of the grey area when police issue a ticket for these activities. While it is possible to charge a person for these kind of activities with existing legislation such as driving without undue care and attention, and it is another thing to prove the person’s driving was aﬀected by the activity. With the new law, if the activities are observed, police can issue a ticket.

The new legislation bans drivers from holding or using handheld, portable communication or entertainment device such as cell phones, laptops or MP3 players while driving. Drivers can use a cell phone or PDA if it is in a hands free mode. They are also able to use a GPS, but it must be programmed in advance of driving, so drivers are not manually typing or inputting information. The legislation also recognizes reading, writing and grooming as activities that could garner a ticket. Hopkins said there has been many studies that show using these kind of devices can have a negative eﬀect on driving, and with the new legislation there is less of a burden of proof for police to show the eﬀects on driving. There are exceptions in the law for emergency services

such as police and ﬁre, and for drivers to contact emergency services. CB Radios are also permitted for commercial uses and search and rescue services. “This legislation is a practical, eﬀective and enforceable ap-

proach to the issue of distracted driving,” said Minister of Transportation Luke Ouellette. “We are sending a strong safety message to all Albertans: When you’re in your vehicle, your focus must be on driving.”

Cenovus Energy increases its visibility in Drumheller submitted | inSide Drumheller

Members of Cenovus’ Drumheller staff in front of their new offices on South Dinosaur Trail. The company, formed from EnCana Corporation’s recent split will focus on developing its enhanced oil production.

Cenovus Energy Inc. has launched its new corporate ofﬁce in Drumheller with the installation of a sign displaying the new Cenovus brand. About twelve Cenovus employees are based in the new South Railway Ave. West location, while another 35 work in surrounding areas. Cenovus Energy is one of Canada’s most progressive integrated oil companies. It began independent operation on December 1, 2009 following the split of EnCana Corporation into two separate entities. The Cenovus name represents the company’s attitude. Cen comes from the word century, and novus from the Latin

word for new. Together as Cenovus, they indicate the company’s commitment to a fresh, progressive approach to being a successful energy company in the 21st century. While Cenovus’s focus is on developing its enhanced oil production, particularly in northeastern Alberta, its growth relies on the strong ﬁnancial foundation provided by its reliable natural gas assets, including those in the Drumheller area. “Cenovus has a proud Canadian heritage and we’ve been responsibly operating in the Drumheller area for decades through our predecessor companies,” said Ken Pischke, VicePresident Southern Plains at Cenovus. “We expect to be a

significant natural gas producer for many decades to come.” Company planners began considering distinct office needs when the former EnCana first announced the proposed split in May, 2008. While the initial timing was delayed by the global economic downturn, work continued to prepare for the eventual launch of the new company, including the search for new office space in Drumheller. Cenovus is one of the largest energy companies operating in the Drumheller region, with production of about 80 million cubic feet per day of natural gas as well as some conventional oil operations. “We remain committed to being a company the people of Drumheller and area consider to be a good corporate neighbour,” says Pischke. “Cenovus is continually working to improve energy efficiency and reduce the impact in all areas of operation. We strive to be respectful of the environment and the communities where we operate.”
