OPINION Chamber investigates cost of doing business in Drumheller Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Businesses passing through Drumheller and how much they pay for that privilege are being put under the microscope. The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce has begun research into the current business license fee structure of the Town of Drumheller and what changes could be made. “We’ve had a number of people write letters to the Chamber to do something about it and advocate for them,” said Chamber board member John Shoff. “We want to get feedback from Chamber members to see if we should pursue this and what our stance should be. Should the fees be increased or decreased.”
The study was prompted by comments from Chamber members expressing a desire to raise the license fees for businesses coming to Drumheller for a few day and then leaving. “We’re not looking at businesses already in Drumheller or who are opening a new business here. We’re looking at the businesses who come here for one to two days and then are gone. They come to town, sell a bunch of stuff, and take all the proceeds out of the community,” said Shoff. Another aspect the Chamber is researching is whether the definitions for the different fee categories need to be redefined. “One of the comments we’ve heard is maybe there needs to be more clarification (in the by-
law). For example, there might be a need to decrease the cost for contractors but increase for these transient retail businesses,” said Shoff. The Town of Drumheller feels the license fees are comparable to other, similar-sized communities in Alberta. “When you look at other communities and compare, we’re basically in line with them,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “We’re going to ask administration to look at few more communities to make sure we’re similar to them. If it needs to be adjusted, we’ll adjust it.” In addition, business license fees that are too high may only serve to drive business away from Drumheller. “There has to be a balance.
We can’t discourage business or make it prohibitive to do business here,” said Yemen. Chamber members are encouraged to contact the Chamber at 403-823-8100. “We want to use this as an opportunity to engage our members. Our goal is to get more members involved in the Chamber, which will benefit our organization quite a bit,” said Shoff. Residents can also contact Town Council to let their views be known. “We’re open to suggestions. It’s a bylaw, so it can be tweaked, refined, and tuned,” said Yemen. “If anyone has concerns, they can bring them to their council representative.”
Tyrrell Museum reels in new fossil fish species Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Staff at the Royal Tyrrell Museum went fishing recently. Although, rather than the more traditional rods and lures, technicians grabbed shovels, pickaxes, and a crane to reel in a hitherto unknown species of fish. Tyrrell staff collected a 1.5 metre wide, 50 centimetre tall, and 2,744
kilogram block of rock from the Paskapoo Formation, roughly 60 million years old and five million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. The block contains a previously unrecorded species of fish. The fossils are exceptionally well-preserved and are all related to the modern alligator gar. Gars are fish with sharp teeth and armour-like
scales found in waters from Manitoba to Quebec, and south to Central America and Cuba. They are predatory and feed on other fish, crayfish, and even birds. Technicians, during the excavation, uncovered 17 complete fish skeletons. The largest specimen measures roughly 75 centimetres long, while the smallest is roughly 25 centime-
tres. The find is the best example of an assemblage of gars from the Paskapoo Formation and the only grouping that preserves juvenile specimens. The block was discovered in late February by a man out walking along the highway near Okotoks. He reported
the find to the museum and technicians were sent to investigate. When removing the block, a lifting cable and crane was needed to lift the massive rock from the ground. From there it was hauled by truck to the Tyrrell Museum, where it is currently awaiting preparation and further study.

Alleged speeder clocked at 202 KPH charged Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
With the assistance of Linden Citizen on Patrol and helpful residents, a speeder who was allegedly driving more than 100 kilometres per hour over the speed limit will have his day in court. Kneehill County Community Peace OďŹƒcer Jamie Erickson told inSide
Drumheller about an incident occurring last Friday evening, March 29. He observed a new Mitsubishi Lancer traveling north on Highway 806 towards Linden at a high rate of speed. Erickson clocked the car traveling at 202 kilometres per hour. “I activated the radar when I saw him coming up really fast on another
vehicle,â€? said Erickson. “I hit my lights after I had locked in the speed and he was well ahead of me at that point. He made no attempts to stop and passed another vehicle on a corner.â€? Erickson said he made no further attempts to stop the car and notiďŹ ed Beiseker and Three Hills RCMP of the car and direction of travel.
Later he was patrolling in the Village of Linden and was agged down by a resident who gave him information on the car that had passed through the village. A member of Citizen on Patrol helped the peace oďŹƒcer locate the vehicle at a residence in the village. “I had a lot of help from some citizens of Linden telling me where
Hansen-Zacharuk elected president of Wildrose Constituency Association Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Wildrose Constituency Association for the Drumheller-Stettler Riding has a new president. The Association held its Annual General Meeting on March 23 and Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk was elected the Association’s president, replacing Gordon Butler. “It is exciting and a big step,� said Hansen. She explains she was approached a few weeks ago to gauge her interest
and she feels she can do a good job. She explains the Constituency Association’s (CA) main focus is to make sure the area has an elected MLA. It works on fundraising for the association and to mobilize during election time. “The party is supposed to be grassroots, and so the CAs come up with policies they bring forward to the AGM or policy session and then vote to see if it gets adopted,� said Hansen-Zacharuk. Hansen-Zacharuk is
also a sitting Drumheller town councillor and sees no problem in performing both rolls, and in some cases, it could be helpful. “The point of the matter is we are all supposed to be working together towards one good and that’s Alberta,â€? she said. “Because Rick Strankman is our MLA, regardless of party aďŹƒliation, I can take our concerns directly from the Town to our MLA. I ďŹ nd that handy.â€?
penalty. The maximum ďŹ ne the driver could face is $2,000 and/or up to a six month suspension. Surprisingly enough, this was not the fastest driver he has ever seen in his 12-year career. He once clocked a driver traveling 218 kilometres per hour. “We see the 150s often in the county, but not often we come across speeds that extreme,â€? said Erickson. The driver is slated to appear in provincial court in Drumheller on May 1.

Basically all of our resources need to be held to a higher standard.” The Little Explorers Childcare and Discovery Centre is a non-profit organization, meaning that any money made is invested directly back into the daycare. Wallace mentioned that she was grateful the government hasn’t taken away her professional development funds – funds provided by the government to give specially trained employee’s a top-up in addition to the regular pay they receive – although she fears that they too may now be in jeopardy. “If it had affected their pay, I really don’t know what we would have done,” she said. Although raising fees for the daycare may be one alternative to recoup the financial losses, Wallace affirms that it is not set in stone. “Because we’re in the accreditation process, we don’t want to bail out on that. We want to keep on going, but it will make things tough.” Despite the setback, Wallace has faith that Little Explorers will be still be able to continue moving forward without making any detrimental changes to the program. “It’s not going to get us down, we shall overcome,” she said.

2013 MS Walk makes great strides
NEW
Johann Kuschke | inSide Drumheller
The 2013 Enerflex MS walk is shaping up to be a big success this year as 83 walkers and 12 teams have already confirmed their registration for the event. This year’s walk will take place at the Badlands Community Facility (BCF) on Sunday, May 5. “We’re really encouraged by the youth that are coming on board, because they are essential for keeping it going, and the enthusiasm from the locals is just great.” said this year’s MS Walk coordinator, Shauna Brown. Interesting new incentives have also been added to this year’s walk for all Alberta participants. For every $1,000 in pledges raised by participants, they are entered to win free airfare for two anywhere in the world, courtesy of WestJet. “I’m actually very proud of Drumheller, because we’re ahead of a lot of the bigger communities right now,” said Brown Brown is confident in surpassing this year’s goal, set by Red Deer, of raising $40,000 in funds. “I think it’s really doable,” she said. Breakfast and warmups will begin at 9 a.m., with registration at 9:30 a.m., and the walk taking place at 10 a.m. No changes have been made to the walk route this year, which is

slightly less than 10 kilometres, and will start and finish at the BCF. If people decide to participate in the walk but don’t feel they can walk the entire distance, check points have been arranged for them to stop and get shuttled back to the BCF. A “fun run” will also be held at this year’s event for anyone choosing to run the course instead of walking it. The run will not be timed and anyone choosing to run the course will be entitled to a 10 minute head start to help eliminate the amount of traffic on route. Red hair streaks and shoelaces will also be made available to the public to help raise some extra funds for the walk.

Hoppy Easter contest winners! Congratulations Dawn Halliday (left) one of the winners of last week’s Drumheller Mail Easter contest. Halliday stopped by The Drumheller Mail offices with her 8-yearold grandson Devon Sullivan, who was visiting from Lethbridge, to claim her prize; a huge Easter gift basket.
Malenna, 5, left, and McKenzee, 8, Olsen both had keen eyes and came up with the correct number of bunnies in The Drumheller Mail’s Easter contest. For their efforts, they were rewarded with baskets of goodies. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

The Canadian Anti Fraud Center and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Technological Crime Branch have been receiving reports from Canadians who say their computers are being frozen or they have been “locked out” of their computers. This happens primarily after complainants receive pop-up messages warning them their computers have been associated with child pornography. These warning messages, which claim to come from the RCMP or other Canadian government agencies, tell recipients to pay $100 dollars via Ukash (a payment service provider) so their computers can be “unlocked”. These types of messages, known as ransomware, are scams designed to create shock and anxiety so that victims respond by sending money quickly. If you receive one of these messages, please be aware that: • The ransomware is an attempt to defraud you. • Sending money will not fix your computer – it will remain locked. DO NOT SEND MONEY. • Neither the RCMP nor any other Canadian government agencies would hijack computers in order to obtain money. The ransomware presence is hard evidence that your computer has been infected by malicious software (malware) that must be dealt with. The only way to regain access to your computer is to seek the help of a computer technician who can remove the malware. To protect against cyber attacks, you must regularly update your software. You need good anti-virus, spyware and firewall protection. If you receive a ransomware message, please contact your local police force and the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre (1-888-4958501).

You will need about a dozen wonton wrappers. They come in a package which you can freeze to use at another time (they work well baked in a muffin tin and filled with any sort of filling such as an egg mixture for brunch, ground beef taco filling, a salad blend, etc.) For the filling, peel 1 Tbsp fresh ginger. Chop 1 cup mushrooms and 1 scallion.

Mix together with 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil and 2 tsp. cornstarch and ¼ lb. ground pork. Work with the wontons one at a time so they don’t dry out. Brush each one with some beaten egg to begin. Then forming a circle with your thumb and index finger, hold the wrapper so it is like a cup. Fill with 2 tsp. of the pork mixture. Press firmly around the filling and fold the edges of the wonton down so the top is exposed – you can flatten the top of the filling as well. Dried goji berries are a popular topper for these. You can also use a frozen pea or carrot cube too. If you don’t have a bamboo steamer, you can use the basic steamer from your set of pots and pans. Just brush with oil so they don’t stick. Steam for about 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Serve with an Asian dip or sauce – a mix of chile paste and soy sauce is good. *When I made these, I had a little 2 year-old helping me. I did not want to be working with raw meat, so I pre-cooked pork sausage. We then folded the dumplings closed, bringing opposite corners together to seal, because they do not stick together the way the raw meat does. It is easy for a child to handle them and wrap them “just like you wrap your baby dolls.”

Second Drumheller triathlon grows bigger Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Athletes in the area are being encouraged to test themselves on June 8. The Drumheller Triathlon, which was first held last year, is getting ready for its second race and things are already shaping up to be bigger than last year. “We’ve already got more people signed up than last year. It’s definitely going to be bigger,” Morgan Syvertsen, who is organizing the event. “The people who have signed up already are serious athletes, so this is going to be a pretty good race.” The route for the race is remaining the same as last year. The swimming portion will be held at the Aquaplex, the cycling
portion will go along North Dinosaur Trail, and the run will utilize the trail system between the Aquaplex and Midland. There are two distances participants can do; sprint or Olympic. The Olympic distance is a 1,500 metre swim, 40 kilometre ride, and 10 kilometre run. The sprint distance is half of that. This year will be the first the triathlon will officially be a part of DinoFest. The date of the race has been set for June 8, at 9 a.m. The race was created last year as a way for athletes in Drumheller to do a triathlon in the comfort of the Valley. “We’ve got a lot of people here who cross train. They are swimmers, bikers, and runners, so this is an opportunity for them
to come together and compete and, because the distances are standard for triathlons, they can compare their results with other races. Maybe they’ll get the bug and go out and try more races,” said Syversten. Should interest continue to mount, the hope is to keep the race growing. “If there enough interest, maybe we can go a bit bigger. It’s certainly looking that way. Down the road, maybe we could look at larger distances, or find a section of the river deep enough to swim in. We could even go outside of the Valley and host something for a few hundred people,” said Syversten. Anyone interested in racing are encouraged to contact Syvertsen at 403823-7986 or meistermo-
The Drumheller Triathlon is getting ready for its second year and will be running on June 8. The triathlon will start participants at the Aquaplex, then take them cycling from the Aquaplex to North Dinosaur Trail,

pool and start practicing and remember: no one wins a triathlon in the swim,” said Syvertsen. “If
you’re not a swimmer, don’t worry. You can bike and run hard, and still have a great time.”
Local girl joins Calgary Xtreme softball team Johann Kuschke | inSide Drumheller
Years of intense practice are starting to pay off for former Drumheller resident, Cersten Peters, since she was recruited to play for the Calgary Xtreme U18 “A” girl’s fast pitch softball team this season. The Xtreme softball team consists of girls from Calgary and surrounding rural areas under the age of 18. They will start their regular season in the Calgary Women’s Fastpitch Association (CWFA), playing at a Division 1 level. “It’s definitely been a goal of mine just to be on an A caliber team or a highly dedicated and committed team for sure,” said Peters, who has devoted six years of her life
to softball, playing for teams like the Drumheller Venom and the Canadian Adrenaline Fastball Association (CAFA) U18 team. After trying out for the Xtreme softball team in October last year, she heard the news on Christmas day that she would get to play for the U18 team this year. “They are a bunch of great girls and they were really welcoming,” said Peters. “They didn’t show me a cold shoulder coming in to play as the new person.” With team practices on Sunday nights, pitcher’s and catcher’s training on Mondays and team conditioning on Thursdays, Peters said the level of training and commitment that she has experienced in her short time with the Xtreme team is unparal-
leled to that of previous teams she’s played for. “It’s a lot more intense,” she said. “Every inning has a strategy. It’s not like you can just go out there, throw the ball, and hope
for the best.” Off-season training for the Xtreme U18 softball team started in October and runs until the beginning of the regular season in April.
The team will play their first tournament of the year indoors in Edmonton on April 21 before the regular season commences on April 30. All regular season
games will take place at the Shouldice four-plex in Calgary with doubleheader league games being played every Tuesday evening. w14cd

Step up to the plate with slo-pitch Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Batter up! The snow is melting and the weather is warming, which means residents will soon be hitting the ball diamonds after spending months cooped up indoors. The Drumheller SloPitch Association is looking for a few more residents to step up to the plate. There is currently room for four more teams. Individual players are welcome to sign up as well, which is a great way to get active and meet new people. “At the (Sports, Arts, and Recreation) Expo I met a few people who were new to town
and wanted to get out, play some slo-pitch, and meet new people. We’re always looking for spare players and anyone who is looking to join a team,â€? said Kadena Pierce, who helps organize the league. “There are always teams looking for spare players. I have a list, so if teams need a player, they can give me a call and I can get them the number of a spare player.â€? The season is shaping up to be business as usual for the most part, though there is one change in store for the ďŹ nal tournament of the season. “We’re planning on doing a home run derby this year. We’ve
wanted to do it before, but didn’t have enough time. So, we shortened the games to ďŹ t in both a men’s and women’s derby. I know some people have been itching to show their stu,â€? said Pierce. Potential players and teams only have a little more time to sign up. Slo-pitch teams from across Drumheller will be stepping on to the Newcastle diamonds on Friday, May 3. “We’d like to tentatively start May 3, depending on the weather. If the diamonds are still under water, we’ll have to delay things a little, but we’re hopeful,â€? said Pierce. “It’ll feel good to get back out there.â€?
With the weather warming up, it can only mean slo-pitch season is around the corner. The Drumheller Slo-Pitch Association
is looking for players and four more teams for the upcoming season, which is scheduled to begin on May 3. filephoto

Break out your lacrosse stick Coaches needed for upcoming season Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The fastest game on two feet has started running. The Badlands Lacrosse Association is ready for the upcoming season and has begun practicing at the Badlands Community Facility. Already, the rosters are full for most teams after a registration drive at the Sports, Arts, and Recreation Expo earlier this month. “We had a really good turnout and had most of our teams ďŹ lled up that night. Everything but the
Bantam team was ďŹ lled,â€? said Ren Dumaine, president of the Badlands Lacrosse Association. “Our season has started, with practices in the Community Facility.â€? The association held its annual general meeting on Monday, March 25 in the Badlands Community Facility. One of the topics they addressed is to get more volunteers to help coach or help with the administrative end of the organization. “We’ll be in need of coaches in our younger groups. We’re always looking for volunteers in our younger groups,â€? said Dumaine. “We’re also looking at other
volunteers. We could use someone to help us with marketing, because right now, we don’t have enough time to handle that as well as we want to.â€? Badlands Lacrosse continues to beneďŹ t from strong support from the community. Last year saw full rosters as well on each team. The teams were busy throughout the season and the Bantam team made a run at the league championship, making it to the semi-ďŹ nals.
