As the Loonie sits in a strong position, inSide Drumheller asks, “Does it prompt you to make international travel plans?”
Elemee Royer
“No, probably not ”
Jean Frank
“ No, wouldn’t change for me to travel anymore.”
After six years at the helm of the Drumheller Institution, Mike Hanly has accepted a promotion and will be reporting to headquarters in the Pacific region this month. Hanly came to the valley in May of 2005 as a deputy warden and assumed the role of warden in August of that year. This was his first appointment as a warden. He has been promoted to assistant deputy commissioner for institutional operations. “It is very tough to leave. We have done very well in Drumheller. It has been really great for me and it has been really great for our family,” said Hanly. “We have very much been accepted into the community and have become part of the community. “I don’t think I would want to leave Drumheller just to be a warden somewhere else, but at this stage to have a promotion and to be given this opportunity, it is hard to say no.” Hanly came to Drumhell-
he worked as deputy warden and as a team leader. In his 22-year career, he has worked in five institutions in various roles, including a parole officer, and native liaison. He said when he came to Drumheller his goal was to address stability. “There wasn’t stability at the institution and I wanted to lead the staff and let the staff know they had a warden in Drumheller because he believed in Drumheller and wanted to be there,” said Hanly. “Drumheller has had some rough patches in its history so we wanted to make sure it was stable and reduce the number of incidents,” said Hanly. “The population is young, half of them are under 30, half of them are serving sentences of less than three years. So you have a bunch of young guys serving short sentences, so they don’t have a lot of commitment to anything and that can make them very difficult to deal with,” said Hanly. He adds that gang mem-
violent behaviour. “It makes it a difficult population to manage, but the staff do a wonderful job and they are very good at managing the population,” said Hanly. One thing he takes pride in is the good relationship the institution has fostered with the town. “The Institution has always had a good relationship, but I think we really took that to another level, and saw a good period of close cooperation and mutual partnership for both sides,” he said. Some examples of this are inmate labour working on the Drumheller Housing Authority apartment project and the labour invested in the trail network. “It has certainly been a highlight to me,” he said. Outside of work, he and his family have become heavily invested in the community. His wife Sue Backs has been a leader at St. Anthony’s School as well as being involved in the arts
Warden Mike Hanly… leaving Drumheller Institution
community, and has taught culinary art classes. His sons are involved in Titans football, hockey, the Sea Cadets, Aquadinnies and The Passion Play. “I don’t think people in Drumheller give themselves enough credit for what a wonderful place it is and how much the community cares and works together, and we have really been blessed to be part of that,” said Hanly. He said a replacement has yet to be named, and Corrections Canada will be going through the process of hiring.

Travel Alberta uses Drumheller backdrop for Alberta goosebump moments Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Drumheller valley will be front and centre as Alberta Tourism markets the province locally and abroad. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a film crew was in the area working on a television commercial campaign showcasing the province. They spent Tuesday at Horsethief Canyon. On Wednesday, the crew was on the road near Dorothy shooting, before returning to Horsethief Canyon for a different themed shoot. Production manager Sharon Toews explains this is part of a series of five commercials. They have been shooting all over Alberta capturing the diversity of
the province. This ranges from cityscapes to the colours of the prairie. Royce Chwin, managing director of global marketing and branding for Travel Alberta says this campaign is part of a branding journey. Last year Travel Alberta launched its Alberta Goosebump Moments campaign. This is identifying things and places in the province that elicit deep feelings… give you goosebumps. He said the commercial series explores the idea. In the valley they took aerial photos of Horsethief Canyon and were horseback riding in the shadow of the Dorothy Elevators. They were also planning a pow wow scene to be edited with the
Edmonton Folk Festival. Earlier this year they shot a series of winter tableaus. Chwin said the spots will be used to market the province locally and internationally in 11 key markets they have identified. He said the campaign should be informative to Alberta residents to discover some of the gems that are at their doorstep, as well as to an international market looking for an Alberta adventure. Toews has been in Drumheller on a number of occasions shooting and finds it a very easy place to work. Landowners and businesses alike are supportive and friendly, all eager to help. The shoot included about 40 people, including actors, creative and
production staff. “It’s heartwarming, you wouldn’t find that in a larger centre,” said Toews. Chwin says to expect to see
some of the winter spots that have been produced to roll out in November and the summerthemed sports to follow with the season.

Confessions of a Paperboy by Doug Curtis Comedy
July 2 to August 30 When ten-year-old paperboy, Christopher Columbus, hears God speaking to him, what should he do? Why would God pick a tenyear-old boy to do his work? What possible reason does he have for letting Christopher share the fears, hopes and sorrows of his customers? A modern fable about the confusion of adolescence, the blush of first love and the power of faith, Confessions of a Paperboy is a compelling reminder that though chaos may follow us wherever we go, we choose our own path through this life.

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water. 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.

His most recent build came over the winter with his 1972 Chevy Nova clone. He rebuilt a 396 V8 and stacked two four-barrel carbs on top. The power

Double your laughs at Rosebud Theatre See both of Rosebud Theatre’s comedies starring Nathan Schmidt on the same day! submitted The Weekender
Why not double your laughs after you treat yourself to a leisurely drive through the breathtakingly beautiful canola fields on the way to the picturesque hamlet of Rosebud? Plenty of family friendly laughs await you with Rosebud Theatre’s summer comedy package. On Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout July and August visitors can enjoy two comedies in one day, plus a delicious buffet meal for less than $78 per person. We’ve scheduled both of our summer shows so that patrons can make the scenic prairie trek to Rosebud and watch either a matinee or an evening performance of W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons on the Opera House stage and catch a performance of The Diary of Adam & Eve at 5:00 p.m. on our Studio Stage in the “West End” of Rosebud.
It makes the trip to our scenic village even more compelling because people have two opportunities to lighten their load with shows that are pure entertainment with a bedrock of heart - enjoyable for the whole family. Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons is a compilation of three stories from W.O. Mitchell’s Jake and the Kid (The Day Jake Made Her Rain, Cabin Fever and You Gotta Teeter) in a twoact play about a boy and the hired farm-hand. The humour in the show is comparable to that of Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau in The Odd Couple and Grumpy Old Men. The Diary of Adam & Eve also delivers a ton of laughs through its humourous comparison of men and women. Audiences will connect with these characters from the beginning of time and enjoy reflecting on how, deep down, we really haven’t changed that much. Here’s how visitors to Rosebud Theatre’s Facebook page describe Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons and The Diary of Adam & Eve: “I’ve just discovered the Rosebud Theatre wow what an
amazing place and the story!!!! wow gives me hope that we are on the right track and just need to keep forging ahead...thank you.” “Saw the show Saturday night, loved it. Super job by all the cast.” “This was so fun! We saw it on Saturday afternoon (with the two kids in the front row!)” “Just saw the preview show! Brilliant! We laughed, I cried... all good!” “Amazing show, make sure you see it!” “Lots of laughs, a few tears, very heartwarming!” “Saw the preview...laughed, a lot! “ Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons plays on the Rosebud Theatre Opera House stage Wednesday through Sunday until August 28. Matinee and evening performances are available. The Diary of Adam & Eve plays at the Rosebud Studio Stage Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 5:00 p.m. and Sundays at 5:30 p.m. until August 28. There are many options to package these two shows. Please call the Rosebud Theatre Box Office for reservations at 1-800-267-7553.

The duo is set now to compete in the upcoming Canada’s Got Talent competitions in the fall. Both Matt and Alex are continuing their post secondary studies in Calgary.

Wildrose Rally and Candidates “Speak Out!” Thursday, August 11, Drumheller
by C. Aiello
How exactly do you get out from under 14.3 trillion dollars in debt? According to the American government it’s easy, you just raise your “debt ceiling”. That’s the term you and I call “credit limit”, that amount the banks and credit card companies are always trying to get us to raise. The U.S. just raised their credit limit so they can pay next month’s bills. Of course with that comes a lower credit rating and higher interest payments. Oh well, we’ll deal with that when we reach the new ceiling in two years. For now, you pay off one credit card with the other. Then you tap your line of credit (secured by a second mortgage on your home) to meet the minimum payment on the second card. So put away the scissors, all is good. So, now we know how to handle such a debt, perhaps it would be instructive to know how such a debt accumulates in the first place. National emergencies are a large contributor. In the case of America, it has been the wars it has had to fight, and the reconstruction that it paid for in the aftermath. Before World War I, America’s debt was about 2.5 billion, after the war it was 10 times that amount. Before World War II, the debt was just 43 billion, but after the war, up till about 1950, the debt had risen to almost 260 billion. It remained pretty stable through the 50s and 60s, but in the early 70s it began to expand to 390 billion, and then triple in to the 80s at 930 billion, by 2000 it had ballooned to 5.7 trillion dollars. Another 8.7 trillion have been added in the last 10 years. Some people would attribute all this debt to George Bush’s tax cuts, and Obama waging two wars simultaneously. The truth is America does not have a revenue problem, but like most governments it has a spending problem, with the military being just 4.5% of GDP and less than half of the debt. The bad guy in America debt crisis is social program spending. It started in the biggest way under Roosevelt in the 30s and 40s, kept going into the 60s, when the money was really poured out, in an effort to make people feel better about having to take government handouts. It worked so well that people kept demanding more. More welfare; more Medicaid; more Social Security; more Medicare; more bailouts. Pretty soon the government credit card is moaning under the immense weight of debt, all due to a demand for the government to spend. To get out of a hole you must first stop digging. Last week as I was picking up litter in the gutters, I found a flyer that had obviously fallen from a sign post. See if you can make it out. “Sining contest 12:55. Someone will be pict out of the atcents. 2nd Street E. Someone will be the luky winer.” Adee 325” I read where some school somewhere wants to stop teaching children how to write. Apparently they’ve already stopped teaching them to spell.

Six year old artist designs favourite wrestler’s gear Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Luke Miles likes wrestling. The six-year-old Drumheller boy can recite the names of hall of famers Andre the Giant and Honky-tonk Man to the present day greats of John Cena and Dolff Zeigler. He knows what match is going on, what is coming up and who the champions are. He is an avid reader of WWE Kids magazine. Okay, Luke Miles loves wrestling. One of his favourites is Kofi Kingston, the three time Intercontinental Champion. “He’s a great high flyer,” said Luke. It was through his favourite magazine that Luke had the chance of a lifetime. He entered a contest to design Kingston’s
trunks and kick pads. The youngster’s artistic vision and ability paid off as he won the contest. His design was chosen. His picture appeared in WWE Kids and Kingston debuted his new look gear at the Over the Limit Pay Per View event in May. The outfit is in colours of the Ghanaian flag, where Kofi hails from, and features Kofi’s personal logo. Because it reminded Luke of a spider, he also added spider webs. In WWE Kids Kingston said, “I had a hard time picking just one design, because they were all incredible. Luke’s drawing has a lot of different elements to it - The Ghanaian flag on the back, the spider webs and the overall design from top to bottom, it really had so much going on. It was really cool to me, thanks, Luke!”
Well, the Dog Days of Summer, we haven’t had too many hot ones yet but as a gardener I am enjoying the rain as it means less work for me, dragging hose, etc. When the hot days do come and decide to stick around we need to remember that watering is a must. Depending on the plants, some things like a chance to be a bit dry before you water them, where others like to be moist all the time. The trick is to figure out who likes what and try and satisfy the need. Myself, I have always fertilized with a low solution of fertilizer each time I water as this helps the plants take up the water and they are less likely to suffer from over watering. Also I always check planters with my fingers to see if they are dry or still moist. Depending on where the pots are sitting will really make a difference on how much water they require. If the planters don’t have drainage in the bottom, it’s a lot easier to over water them and if we get a big downpour they are going to be swimming. If this happens to you try to tip the planter over and let it drain as best as you can and hopefully if it doesn’t happen too often and the plants will be okay. The plants have to be able to take in oxygen and if they are too wet this isn’t possible and they drown. On the other extreme if something has dried out to the point of wilting or being dried nearly to death I have had luck sometimes by watering and fertilizing it really well. Give it a little bit often until you think the dirt is moist all the way through. If it’s not looking better by the next day trim it back hard and continue to water for a few more days. If you don’t see signs of life by then or if you can bend the stems and they all break off then you have likely lost it. It’s sometimes hard to tell what the plant wants or needs as they will also wilt if they are getting too much water. Most perennials and trees don’t mind if they dry out

some in between Jackie Friedley waterings, but Garden Designs should be watered deeply when watered so they establish a good root system and are more likely to tolerate a drought for a longer time. It’s also best to water in the morning if possible, as there are some plants that are more susceptible to mildew and fungal diseases. This allows them to have to whole day to dry and they are less likely to develop problems down the road. Good luck! Jackie Friedley
Local wakeboarders place in Masters This past weekend, the Alberta Wakeboard Championships were held at Alix Lake. Two local riders took part Rob Kwiczak (left); Kyle Suntjens (right). Rob Kwiczak took third in the Masters Division while Kyle Suntjens came in fourth. It’s a great event. The lake is closed to boats for the competition so you're the only boat and rider on the water. There were categories for kids to experts and a ton of prizes were given out including wakeboards, handles, bags, and clothing items. inSide photo submitted

The experience was a thrill for Luke, son of Cory and Crystal. He watches wrestling with his older brother and his dad. He demonstrates time and again his knowledge of the wrestling world is top notch. While Luke is getting ready to start Grade 1 this fall at Greentree School, it may be a little early to start career planning, but when asked if one day he would like to be a wrestler, he said he wanted to become a wrestling trainer.
