Rosebud vies to be Cultureville Alberta Vote for hamlet in CBC contest Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Hamlet of Rosebud is a diverse community, rife with actors, musicians, artists and photographers. It is only fitting it is a finalist in CBC’s Cultureville 2011. Rosebud is one of six finalists in Alberta and three in Southern Alberta. CBC announced the finalists on August 16. The competition celebrates the cultural diversity of Alberta and is being held in conjunction with Alberta Arts Days and the 75th anniversary of the CBC. “It’s great news,” said Bob Davis executive director of Rosebud Centre of the Arts. “Rosebud will be profiled, along with the other two communities … to help generate interest in arts.” Davis explained the CBC made a call out to Alberta communities

Editor The Drumheller Mail Dear Editor

Todd Hodgson “ No can't say I have, but I’m open to try it. ”

Judy Daw Clark “Yes I have for 2 years.”

I have recently received a letter in reference to the operation of bicycles within our community. The letter identifies poor operation of this mode of transportation and questions the level of enforcement of the Traffic safety Act. First of all I would like to inform people that the Traffic Safety Act applies to bicycles in the same manner as Motor vehicles. The operators are required to obey what is know as the rules of the road. The operator is to obey all road signs, ride on the right side of the road, etc. If under 16 years of age, it is mandatory that the operator wear a helmet. Effective Sept 1st, 2011, it will be against the law to use a cell phone while operating a bicycle. Many of the youths operating bikes are not obeying these rules or do not know they are to obey them. Many of these cyclists are of an age that a ticket cannot be issued. Many adults or young adults are operating their bikes in a manner that is contrary to these laws while in the presence of younger riders, thereby setting a poor example. Many parents are not adequately supervising their children’s use of bikes, or setting down any rules of operation/ expecta-

to submit nominations. Rosebud Centre of the Arts made a submission along with a number of other Rosebud community members. “There was at least two or three others who submitted,” said Davis. Rosebud was virtually a ghost town when LaVerne Erickson began summer camps with youth in the early 1970’s. This eventually became the Rosebud School of the Arts and Rosebud Theatre. Around this, not just the school, but a whole arts community blossomed. Today there are galleries and museums just a stone’s throw in either direction downtown. Music emanates as a number of performing artists call the hamlet home. Many burgeoning artists full of creativity have launched from Rosebud and have continued onto a bigger stage. This year, Rosebud Theatre opened its expanded Mercantile Centre with an expanded gift shop, restaurant, meeting and tions. Peace officers at various levels are not effectively enforcing these offences for a wide variety of reasons. Various levels of supervision are leaving it to others to provide the correction. Legislation associated to bicycles was made to modify behavior in order to improve safety. Each year there are always unfortunate encounters between bikes and motorized vehicles. My observations show that the bicyclist usually loses during any collision whether they are in the right or wrong. Fortunately, we have been lucky that none of these encounters have been serious to date. The Drumheller Detachment has tried a number of things to try to correct behavior in lieu of prosecution, but not enough change has been observed. I ask that all parents have discussions with their children about the operation of bicycles, and why the laws must be obeyed. I ask all bicyclists pay attention to the manner in which they ride their bikes keeping in mind that others are watching. As I stated earlier we have been lucky so far. It would / will be a sad day when this luck comes to an end. Just think, it could be your child or possibly even you that may be the unfortunate one if this unwanted and unnecessary behavior is not changed. I am thankful to receive the letter from our community member as it shows caring and concern for others. Lets everyone play their role and make this a safer and more caring community.

convention space. “I think it is a reﬂection of a body of work. Over the years Rosebud has worked hard to establish itself as an arts community, and to be nominated for this consideration is a real feather in the cap of everybody who contributes,” said Davis. “It is a combination of many talents that make a community standout in the eyes of Cultureville judges.” Rosebud is in the top three in the 403 calling area. In Southern Alberta it was nominated along with Red Deer, focusing on “The Hub,” which has grown from an activity centre for adults with developmental disabilities, and become a cultural centre for Red Deer. Tsuu Tina Nation was also nominated from Southern Alberta, recognizing its year round cultural events, celebrating and sharing its culture. “As one of Canada’s largest cultural institutions, CBC is absolutely thrilled to be showcas-

Residents can vote for where they believe Cultureville Alberta is, starting on September 6, by going to www.cbc.ca/calgary, or www.cbc.ca/edmonton. Each nominated community will be proﬁled on CBC Radio One’s Calgary Eye Opener at 99.1 FM, or 1010 AM in Calgary, and on Edmonton AM at 3939 FM or 740 AM.

The foreclosure process for lands once a part of the Drumheller Ski Hill is taking the next step, and shortly the property will be up for sale by the courts. In February of this year Community Futures Big Country filed an Affidavit of Default and a judge made a Redemption Order declaring the mortgage on a portion of the property that makes up the Drumheller Ski Hill lands, valid and enforceable. This portion is at the base of the hill, up to the first lift post and the ski lodge. It is co-owned by the Canadian Badlands Passion Play. When the action was instigated, Community Futures was owed about $63,000 on the property. Six months later, on August 17, the redemption period, which would allow a party to satisfy the mortgage, has expired. This means the next step is the lands can be offered for sale by the courts. “Our hope is that it is purchased by a community minded group,” said Jordan Webber of Community Futures. The land will now be up for sale through the courts for 90 days through sealed tender. Webber says there is no asking price, rather, the court deems what is an acceptable return for fair market value. He says Community Futures is able to recommend what is agreeable. Webber explains the foreclosure process was necessary to allow the land to be sold without encumbrances such as lawsuits and writs. If the land is sold, the debt to Community Futures has priority and will be satisfied first. If there are remaining funds available, other liabilities will be satisfied.

inSideEMPLOYMENT Parents need to be wary of suspicious behavior, says RCMP bbyy CC. Ai Aiello Aie A i llo loo

They are rioting in London, or at least they were. I haven’t been getting my paper, so I am ignorant of the situation at present. I never did really hear what was the cause of all the chaos and destruction. I guess that it depends somewhat on your source of information as to whether society is at fault, or if it’s merely stupid, senseless, mob mentality. Looking at the extent of destruction, and at those behind it, you would almost have to say that this is a societal problem, and so it is, in that society created the perpetrators. In the Calgary Sun of last Thursday, I came upon a column written by Michael Coren. Yes, yes, the Sun is what some call right wing, and that Michael Coren is of the same ilk. In this instance, however, Mr. Coren has credibility, as the rioting erupted not far from where he was born, and spent his teenage years; he knows of what he speaks. It is an area of economic depression with a unique demographic. Mr. Coren eschews political correctness when stating that the majority of the rioters and looters were black, unfortunately, so were many of the victims. As in most things of this sort, usually those protesting have a legitimate cause, and are for the most part, everyday citizens. However, it does not take too much for a hooligan, or thug element to penetrate, and take advantage of ready-made crowd. The herd mentality is infectious and pretty soon your crowd has become a mob and your peaceful protest, an angry riot. Where there is economic distress, things can happen much faster , as in parts of London. Going back to the beginning, whose fault is it, society or a mindless, senseless number of thugs? I will give you Michael Coren’s take on it and then you can decide for yourself. he refers to these destroy-whateveryou-can thugs as the oﬀspring of broken families, of men who cannot, will not control their appetite for fathering children with numerous women. Through their formative years they are told to despise authority, education and religion, and to rely on the state. He describes them as tattooed gargoyles raised on antisocial entertainment, instant gratiﬁcation, socialist dogma and empty materialism. There you have it. So, who do you blame for all the rioting, society or the tattooed gargoyles? Personally, I blame society and its institutions. Poor education, removing religion, promoting socialism and reliance on the state, all contribute to a dumb, inconsiderate, lazy populace that respects not itself, nor anyone else, or anyone else’s property. - Poor education system brings everyone down to the lowest common denominator - Removing God from society leads to an uncaring, materialistic, empty society. - Nothing can impoverish a nation, and weaken a people more quickly than can socialism - it rates a close second to removing God. - You rely on the state for everything and soon the state is running your life, and owning your possessions. You see, we create our own tattooed gargoyles.

RCMP say parents need to be aware of suspicious, unwanted behaviour in and around places where children play. This comes after RCMP learned of a person observed taking pictures of children at the Splash Park. The incident was not reported at the time. Staﬀ Sergeant Art Hopkins says because Drumheller is a tourist destination, many unknown people are passing through the community, including the water park. Most of the people taking pictures of their family playing are legitimate and are simply documenting their holiday experience. Some may not be. “We have others who are taking the pictures for other purposes or having contact

with children for other purposes,” said Hopkins. “The world is not as safe as it once was, and we have many people who conduct themselves inappropriately around children or others.” He said that many people who have a record of criminal activity of this nature have restrictions to not attend places where children frequent. “Some of these persons attend to other communities in order to continue their actions while hiding their identities,” he said. “Should you be at one of these sites and observe someone acting in what you believe is a strange manner, please report it to the police. Let the police determine if the behavior is appropriate or not.” He provides a list of behaviors that may help a parent

determine out of the ordinary behavior. This may include a person, possibly sitting oﬀ in the distance observing, or taking pictures of children but not having any present, or taking numerous pictures of diﬀerent children who have no connection to him or her at the park. It is also important to be wary of a person making contact with a child, such as communicating and asking inappropriate questions, taking unrelated children to the bathroom or any other physical contact with an unrelated child. “There are many things that could be mentioned as suspicious. If you observe an action that you feel is strange, out of place, or inappropriate give us a call,” said Hopkins.

About nine years ago, Bouke Kraaikamp went to an auction near Delia and looked at a 1951 Fargo pick-up. It was left in the field and in typical fashion, all the windows were knocked out, sitting on flat bias ply tires. He looked at it again, and saw that its driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side door was in great condition and would fit his 1948 Dodge. He looked at it again, and paid $25 for the truck and brought it home. He looked at it again, and saw that it was all-original with a numbers matching flat head six engine. He looked again, and while the body was rusty, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any holes. Since then, he has been slowly piecing the truck back together, all the while using it as his daily driver. He has put in another engine, but kept the original, and is having fun finding and fixing as he goes. He is especially fascinated with collecting all the options offered for the Canadian made pick-up. These were often installed at the dealerships instead of the factory, and he has found a number of hard to find accessories including a rear pumper, a radio, cigar lighter, electric wipers and a visor. One intriguing option he has installed is a Fluid Drive. This essentially is a fluid coupling, much like a torque converter, mounted instead of a flywheel. It was meshed to a three-speed transmission and clutch. With this set up, a driver can engage the transmission, let out the clutch and not move until the accelerator is applied. The truck can even stop and start in second gear without clutching. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area. The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district. It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves

in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.

TREVOR GOUGH PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION

Over the last thirteen years, my accounting practice in Drumheller has provided me with the opportunity to connect with a wide variety of individuals through my client base, other professionals, boards I volunteer with and my staff. People really are this province’s most valuable resource. Presently, Trevor Gough Professional Corporation employs one other Certified General Accountant, six accounting tech-

It's not what you earn, it's what you keep nicians and a receptionist. It is due, in part, to these fantastic employees that I have been able to take time to train for and fulfill one of my dreams - climbing Machu Picchu in Peru as part of Alberta Arthritis Society’s Joints in Motion fundraising project. In addition to the usual data processing service using either Simply Accounting or Quickbooks programs, my office provides personal and corporate tax preparation and filing, along with compilation, review and audit engagements. We see more than numbers.

As fall approaches, I would like to remind all proprietors of small businesses or farms that the cost of doing an estimate of your current year’s taxable income can actually save you money. By preparing, through necessary purchases or Registered Retirement Savings Plan contributions, you can reduce your income tax due next April. You can also contribute instalments towards your personal tax if you know you need to pay more. Don’t wait, plan now. Remember…it’s not what you earn, it’s what you keep.

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, just when you think you've had enough, the waters recede and the path is clear. All it takes is a little deterination and a lot of patience to get there.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, now that you've tackled some of the bigger tasks that were on your agenda, you can focus on having more down time for enjoyment. Spend it with friends.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There are no easy answers this week, Taurus. That is why you will just have to be diligent in your own quest to find the best solutions.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, when the going gets tough, you just have to get tougher. Now is not the time to admit defeat. Buckle down and get the job done. You will be happy you stuck it out.

Because there are so many different items included, it is easy to please various people because they can simply pick out what they like and what they may dislike. I didn’t put the amounts of meats and fish because I adjust according to how many people I plan to serve.

Co-op Till Tape program. To date the program has dispersed more than $200,000 to the community. inside photo by Patrick Kolafa

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Dozens of community groups, and agencies received a boost Wednesday morning as the Co-op Till Tape Program dispersed its semi-annual payouts. The Till Tape program has been in existence since 2000, and in that time it has paid out $216,956 to community groups who rely on fundraising to support their programs. These range from sports clubs and service groups to agencies such as the Salvation Army that uses the funds to bolster the food bank. Bev Krabsen of the Drumheller Health Centre picked up a cheque to purchase equipment for the Palliative Care Unit, and Marcel Augey picked up funding for the Drumheller and District Seniors Association to be used for activities for seniors. The Verdant Valley and Dorcas Women’s Institute spread their funds to a number of agencies including the local food bank, DARTS and the Mustard Seed. Alex Jaﬀray was on hand on behalf of the Hesketh-Orkney 4-H Beef Club, which uses the funds for its programming.

This go around, the Co-op dispersed $13, 685. The program is simple. Community groups collect Co-op till tape receipts

and submit them back to the Co-op. In turn, it pays a percentage of the total of the till tapes back to the community groups.

Well Holy Slug Bait: It must be all the rain but my yard is over run with these things and I am not impressed. They are even eating the weeds! I have never had them so bad that I was able to see so many during the day time hours. Usually you only see the telltale signs of them being present with the silvery thread of slim left behind as they crawl across the sidewalk. So I have gone on a search for the cure, and of course there are lots of suggested things to try. We have all heard of the beer treatment, which means you put beer in a shallow lid, pie plate etc. and place it in the ground so the lip of the plate is at ground level. The slugs love beer so in they go and they drown before they can crawl out the other side. Slug bait traps of all sizes and shapes are available that all work in their own right. The slugs do come to them, but I have always wondered how many more we’re calling into the yard with these bait traps? Straight table salt sprinkled on them does them in but not sure you can keep doing this time and time again and still grow plants. There’s also a mixture of 1 ½ cups of each ammonia and water with 2 tablespoons of Murphy’s Oil Soap - this sounds like it may be a bit strong. Also a mixture of 4 to 1 of water and ammonia or weaker. An accomplished Hosta grower uses this and sprays his plants down once a week and has no damage from the slugs, I think I will try this one as he should know a little bit

held in Vancouver. Both men stood on the podium and received gold medals in their events. Since the Vancouver competition, Lautermilch and Rehill have been training in preparation of the next World Police and Fire Games, by working out 3-4 times a week. There are an array of techniques and styles and mental preparation that helps contribute to ones success in arm wrestling. Rehill has been arm wrestling for 28 years and with his experience he has designed a training program that helps prepare for the various wrestling competitions they enter. “It's not just muscle strength. A lot of it is technique and focus, it's full body.” Rehill told inSide Drumheller. The wrestling competition in New York starts with the lightest class and is a one-day event. “You don't know how many will be competing until you arrive but you know it’s going to be a long day,” replied Rehill. The World Police and Fire Games coincide with the 10 year anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York. Organizers are expecting this year's games to be a very memorable event for everyone.

about what works and what doesn’t. If it’s raining a lot you may have to apply it more often. The slugs don’t like the smell of the ammonia and the plants like the nitrogen. Copper tape or wire laid around the plants like a collar or wrapped around the trunk of a tree will apparently keep these critters at bay. Supposedly they get an electrical shock when they try and cross the copper barrier. I have never looked for this so I am not sure what is available out there. This may work for the area where you are not having to work it up every year or weed every week. There is also the tried and true method of hand picking (of which I won’t do) so strap on your flash lights and go slug picking in the dark. Sounds like a mean initiation trick to me. These are a few of the no chemical cures that would appeal to folks with a real strong environmental view. There are some more aggressive things out there but again, how available they are I am not sure. Apparently there are chemicals. One is Measural, another is Lutefisk which you can’t get unless you know someone that grows ginseng root because they can apparently still get it and it’s deadly stuff. So if anyone does have a contact, please let me be your friend. Anyway I hope I have given you a few new tricks to try and I wish you luck with the ongoing battle.

achieved the title of National Champion three times. Rehill knew Curtis had the potential to be a arm wrestler. Not long after introducing Curtis to the sport, and soon after they started training together, they entered competitions. The World Police and Fire Games takes place this year in New York and will run 11 days starting on August 26 through September 5, 2011. Approximately 20,000 full time fire and law enforcement personnel from 70 different countries are expected to compete in 69 sports. “It's bigger than the Olympics.” Rehill said. Lautermilch and Rehill will be arm wrestling at the games in New York while representing the Correctional Institution and the Town of Drumheller. They have had great support from family, friends and co-workers. A fund raiser was hosted recently at the Correctional Institution to help raise money to pay for their trip. “We had a barbecue and raffled off a TV. We raised $1,800 and Steve Dumont donated $500 which gave us at least $2,300 and really helped us out,” said Lautermilch. Two years ago both men competed in each of their weight classes at the 2009 World Police and Fire games
