New facility expands versatility of library

The newly constructed Drumheller Composite High School is looking for a renaming for when classes resume in January. inSide Drumheller asks, “What would you like to see DCHS named?”

“Anything but Degrassi High.”

Angela Treacy “Drumheller High School, like all other towns name schools.”

Chalene Kuefler “Anything that doesn’t have ‘dinosaur’ in it.

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

One of the highlights of the new community facility will be the new and expanded public library, and those involved with the project are looking forward to the opportunities it will bring the community. A major fixture of the Badlands Community Facility is the public library, and while the space is increasing, more than the sheer square footage of the facility are the programs and advantages to the community the library can bring. It is hard to gauge a comparison of the old and new library in terms of size said chair of the Drumheller Public Library Board Linda Traquair because the gallery will now be separate from the library. Just as important as the size is the infrastructure and the usability of space. Space will be more dedicated for its intended use. One of the biggest expanding components of the library is the workroom, where books from other partnered libraries are sent and received. Traquair said upwards of 1,600 books are processed a month. “It is kind of a back of house operation, yet it is crucial to providing the services more and more,” she said. Another example of dedicated space is the meeting areas. Currently the video conferencing facility at the current library shares space with the gallery. Spaces provided for the service at the new facility will be wired and even have specialized lighting to better use the equipment. “The video conferencing is just taking off,” said Traquair. Technology upgrades will also make

the library more user friendly. She explains since the library went with a wireless internet connection, they are seeing more users accessing the internet with their own computers or devices. What this has led to is more wires, not for the internet, but to charge or power patrons’ devices. The new design allows more users to plug in without searching behind shelves. The library will be located directly across from the multipurpose room and will have a separate entrance. This will help if the library is running programs that include an activity such as a craft that can be delivered in the other space. Another creative way of using the space better is that some of the new racks will be movable.

Cindy Sharpe

“We can do that in our new space, whereas in our current location to meet the needs of youth you almost have to take away something.” Linda Traquair

The library will have dedicated space for the collection as well as a youth area, children’s areas, periodicals, study and meeting areas. Part of the planning is looking at a new vision of what a library is and what it is evolving to become. She says the image of libraries as a stuff y, quiet place with a musty card catalogue and stacks of books up to the ceiling is changing. Libraries are taking on a more interactive and social dimension. Some will grieve this change, and while the library will continue to have spaces for study and quiet reading, it wants to expand the usages of the space. She says some examples of the evo-

lution are possibly a space for gaming, listening stations and growing music and video sections, in hope that they can engage another generation to appreciate the library. “We can do that in our new space, whereas in our current location, to meet the needs of youth you almost have to take away something,” she said. This lack of space impedes the library's ability to keep its collection relevant to users. “Right now when we get new books, often our shelves are full,” said Traquair. “I think it is important we have a vigorous process of culling, otherwise we would be twice as big as we are now, and still not have anything that you want to read. But we are right on the edge right now.” She says the expanded space will allow for subtle changes that will make a user’s experience better. By simply having a bit more space between stacks, it will improve accessibility and even improve the lighting. They hope to leave many of the bottom shelves bare to allow users more access. She is excited by the changes, and hopes it will allow the library to deliver better services “The size helps facilitate more programs, but the issue is the operating dollars, and the operating dollars is staff. A high percentage of our budget goes to the hours (of staffing). We are always working to increase our staffing. We are aggressively looking for grants and programs we could apply for, and we think this space allows us to expand our thinking on what we could do,” said Traquair.

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome by C. Aiello

In the last couple of weeks I have attended memorial services for a couple of good men. Both men had lived in the area all of their lives and were well known. (I have reached that unfortunate stage in my life where with each passing year I am attending more funerals and memorial services then I am weddings.) As I sat through these last two services, and listened to the testimonials and tributes given to those men by friends and family, something scary occurred to me. These men, both of whom I considered friends, helped to build their communities and their families through various activities and contributions of one kind or another. The frightening things is, who will replace them, how do you replace them? Will we, the progeny of these good men, these community builders, be as good as they were? I for one, know that I am not near the man my dad was. (To say “the man he is” would be overstating things, even he isn’t the man he was). It’s scary to think that there are shoes that cannot be filled, and personalities that cannot be replicated. Perhaps I am scared for myself. I know that every generation produces a crop of men who seemingly cannot be replaced, and yet somehow their achievement and contributions are matched and even exceeded by following generations. Neither they nor their contributions are forgotten, but the next generation does replace. My fear is personal, just as that of any son when thinking, “How do I fill his shoes, how do I compare?” Time will judge. The other morning I stepped out to get my paper. Nothing unusual in that, except that when I got inside and pulled off the rubber band, it was the National Post. I did a double take just to make sure, and then went back outside to find my Calgary Herald. Apparently my Calgary Herald had been replaced by the National Post. Just last week I had a call from the people at the National Post asking if I would like to take delivery for a month or two for free. I thanked the young lady, but said no, I already have plenty of paper lying around the living room. Besides, why would I want to read about the goings-on in Toronto? I seriously doubt that those who write for the National Post have any interest what happens in Alberta, Calgary, or should they even be aware of its existence, Drumheller. This is not a shot at the National Post, it’s a fine newspaper, with some fine writers, it’s just that I prefer to be informed by a paper whose interests, bylines and coverage relate to where I live. The Calgary Herald informs me in just that way; it suits my needs. The National Post would be superfluous, and where do they get off calling it the “National Post”? An obvious question. The Post comes out of Toronto and as some people believe and others dividingly tease, Toronto is the center of the universe. (That’s a shot.) I believe I will stick with the Calgary Herald and The Drumheller Mail for my news. That may mean I remain a member of the unenlightened proletariat, but so be it. Just out of curiosity, I wonder if the Calgary Herald phones Toronto trying to sell subscriptions. 33m

OPENS UP INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY for

Those looking to get their name on the ballot for the job of town councillor won’t have to put out to do so, council members decided Thursday morning. Drumheller’s town council held a special meeting to decide whether candidates in the upcoming fall election would have to provide a $100 deposit before entering. Nomination Deposit Bylaw 18-10 was defeated. Councillors Andrew Berdahl, Don Guidolin, Blaine McDonald, Sharel Shoff, Terry Yemen opposed the motion which was said to be common procedure in other municipalities to weed out nominations that aren’t serious. “I see the rationale, if you’re

serious $100 is minimal in terms of stepping up to the plate,” said Councillor Blaine McDonald, “but the timing necessitates that we appear we do not want people to run.” Councillor Karen Bertamini also said the timing was poor, but a deposit is common practice and is typical of most elections. The original request for decision was brought to the councillor chambers at their biweekly meeting on Monday, four days before the deadline to impose the nomination deposit bylaw. The Local Authorities Election Act states that they could not pass the bylaw 30 days before nomination day, September 20. One councillor was missing

from Monday’s meeting, so a special meeting was held early Thursday morning to vote before deadline. The current sitting councillors did not pay the deposit before their election run. “We’ve had three years to do this, and here we are a month before and it’s been thrown at us stone cold,” said Councillor Don Guidolin. Councillor Sharel Shoff suggested imposing the bylaw after the coming election. The deposit would have been returned if the candidate was elected, if the candidate obtained half of the votes of the elected candidate with the least votes, or if the candidate withdrew within 24 hours after the close of the nomination period.

On Tuesday, those Drumheller residents who attended the blood donor clinic collected 167 live-saving donations. Considering each donation can help save or improve up to three lives, the blood collected at this clinic potentially helped more than 501 patients in need of blood. Even though the recent clinic was a success, one in four donors who made appoint-

ments did not show up to give blood. Canadian Blood Services understands donors lead busy lives and may not be able to attend all appointments. They ask of those unable to attend, to call 1-888-2-DONATE to cancel their appointment. The next Drumheller donation clinic is on Monday, November 8 at the Drumheller and District Agricultural Society Stampede Grounds. Healthy people can donate

blood every 56 days between their 17th and 71st birthdays (regular donors), or between their 17th and 61st for first timers. Identification is required to donate. For more information visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE. Canadian Blood Services thanks their generous community partners for making the clinic possible.

East Coulee, a town rich in memory

Weekender Staff The Weekender

No trip to the Drumheller Valley is complete without a visit to the town that almost disappeared: East Coulee. Once a thriving coal town with over 3000 residents, the memory of the former mining boomtown is still well preserved within the Valley walls. East Coulee now has a population of 200, many of whom are dedicated to the town's rich history. The road to East Coulee is a trip back in time, down the valley of the dinosaurs, where petrified forests once stood, and miners toiled for coal in the many mines tunnelled into the river valley walls. Highway 10 is dotted with a number of small communities such as Rosedale, Lehigh, Cambria, Wayne and East Coulee that were once populated with the families of thousands of coal miners who worked in the Valley’s 140 mines. The ‘golden era’ from 1911 to 1947 drew thousands of men seeking work, some as young as 14, and the population in towns like East Coulee, Wayne, Nacmine and Drumheller soared. One of the Valley’s most prominent mines, the Atlas Coal Mine, remained open until 1979 and with its closing the last echoes of an era fell into silence. Now the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site has become one of the Valley’s most treasured tourist attractions and a quick visit can take you through the everyday life of a coal miner. Ride the actual electric train that the coal miners rode each and every day in and out of the underground tunnels. Follow in the footsteps that thousands of men took up to the top of the Atlas Coal Mine tipple, the last wooden tipple in Canada. At eight stories high the tipple is a truly exhilarating structure and portrays an honest depiction of the duties and working conditions of a coal miner's life. The Atlas Coal Mine has also been named a Provincial Historic Resource and has been designated a Canadian Historical Site. Described as the most complete mining museum in Canada, the Atlas Coal Mine still has everything but the hole

To get there, simply travel 15 minutes east of Drumheller on Highway 10, across the river from the community of East Coulee. Another spectacular attraction in East Coulee is the “BIG� School Museum. The experience of walking down the hallway of the large 12 room school built in 1930 with its creaky floors will remind you of the thousands of children who lived and received their education in this coal mining town. The museum has immaculate displays featuring a restored classroom with original desks, blackboards, schoolbooks, photos, etc. Other highlights include an old miner’s house completely restored with period furniture and artifacts. They have also turned one of the classrooms into the Willow Tea Room & Cafe, which serves wonderful lunches and desserts. Perhaps the most amazing part of the museum is the restored 1932 coal-fired steam boiler. This steam boiler is still used today to heat the museum in the winter - in fact, it consumes more than 60 tons of coal every winter. The history of the community is evident in the streetscapes of the town site. Former miner shacks still dot the streets as well as more modern dwellings. There are artisan shops and studios that celebrate the history and as well as the present, such as the Caracol Clay Studio where local artist Janet Grabner creates and sells fine pottery wares. On the way to East Cou-

lee on Highway 10 be sure to stop and visit the acclaimed Hoodoos site. Hoodoos are sandstone formations that have been eroded by the elements over millions of years and the end result is a unique mushroom like shape carved out of stone. The hoodoos are a perfect stop to completely absorb the natural, distinctive landscape of the Drumheller Valley. Like looking at an old photograph, a visit to East Coulee is a unique experience that will take you back to a time where dinosaurs roamed and miners delved. For a town that almost disappeared, it is now a town that is truly dedicated to its rich history.

History can evoke emotion, as revealed in one of The Drumheller Mail’s recent stories about Richard Mole, a historic writer who is doing research into a bloody time in Alberta history. Mole is researching the possibility that one of the officers involved in the tracking and eventual demise of David Knox, a man living in Rosebud who gunned down Corporal Moriarty in the spring of 1935. Elmer Zeigler last week dropped into The Drumheller Mail’s office. He fondly recalls his father telling and retelling the story as a youngster. He brought in a copy of Memories, Yours and Mine: A History of Beveridge Lake, East View, Garrett, Hesketh, Humbolt, Kirby, Lenox, Marne, Webbs School Districts. This history of the Hesketh Orkney District has an article by Arthur Forsh, Elmer’s wife’s uncle, which chronicles the death of Knox. His story also appears in the Carbon History book, and gives more insight to the happenings in the spring of 1935. David Knox’s farm was located, according to the article, a halfmile from the south side of the slough, straight south of the Hesketh turn off on the No. 9 Highway. Knox was a veteran of the First World War, was wounded and had a silver plate in his head. Forsh also raises the point that he may have been affected by the poisonous gases used in the conflict and this “made him act queerly” at times. Despite this, he was reported to have gotten on well with his neighbours. While the article does not explore the ins and outs of Knox’s conflict that brought on a visit from the sheriffs to evict him from the land, it reports was rented, it does say it was because of some ‘very unjust land dealing by persons who wanted to get him Happy 10th Birthday to the World's Largest Dinosaur!!

off the farm.’ Knox ran the sheriffs off his land on an earlier occasion, and the RCMP attempted to contact Knox on another occasion. On April 25, Constable Allan and Corporal Moriarty made their way out to contact Knox. They were warned by neighbours that Knox had pledged to shoot anyone who came on his land. The pair drove up to the home and when Moriarty turned to close the gate he was shot. Constable Allan backed the car around to help his fallen comrade and two more shots were fired. One went through the hood of the car, and exit ed directly behind Constable Allan. When Allan went for help, Knox fled to a neighbour’s field. He took refuge by a granary and

a straw pile. The stand-off ended dramatically according to the history book. “Finally one Mountie drove around the straw pile and with great speed rushed at Mr. Knox as he was standing beside the granary next to the straw pile and fatally injured him.” The article speculated that Knox’s state of mind at the time may have been further in turmoil at the time not just because of his pending eviction, but also because he had a prized stallion that had been injured and would probably not live. Darlene Raketti grew up hearing the story as well, and says many farmers were and are still very sympathetic to Mr. Knox’s situation.

RCMP focus on impaired driving in August submitted The Weekender

RCMP and Sheriff integrated traffic units, along with other law enforcement partners, will be involved in a joint effort to reduce the harm that results from impaired driving collisions. “If you drive impaired, your luck will run out - you will get caught. Even worse, you may be involved in a severe collision that harms someone you love” says Inspector James Stiles, officer in charge of “K” Division Traffic Services. Impaired driving enforcement was selected as the focus area for the month of August in support of the Alberta Traffic Safety Plan. While RCMP and Sheriff integrated traffic units, along with other law enforcement partners, will perform many duties associated with traffic safety throughout the month of August, a special emphasis will be placed on removing and charging impaired drivers. Impaired driving, whether by alcohol or drugs, imposes enormous costs on our society. Families, the health care system, the legal system, insurance companies and the general public all pay the price for impaired drivers. • Impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample are both criminal offenses. Alberta is getting tough on impaired drivers. You will be caught! • Driving while impaired by drugs and refusing to comply with a demand for physical sobriety tests or to provide bodily fluid samples is a criminal offense. • If you encounter a suspected impaired driver, record the vehicle license plate number, pull over and dial 911 anywhere in the province. • You have a lot to lose: your freedom, job, dignity, even your life. • Report impaired driving - call 911. It’s your community - It’s your call.

St. Anthony’s looking forward to move Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

As the school year quickly approaches, the St. Anthony’s School community is looking forward to a year of transition as it prepares to enter its new facility on North Dinosaur Trail. Construction has been shaping up on the site and the school plans to make its move early in the new year. Principal Tim Gregorash says they are looking forward to the amenities and possibilities the new facility can offer. The top of the list is the new gymnasium that is double the size of the current gym they occupy. Other programs will benefit from the new facility. “We are going to be able to offer way more options than we did in the past with our construction lab and modules that go with it. The foods lab is going to grow to four times what it is now,” said Gregorash. Other amenities to look forward to include the new modern CTS labs, spaces for drama, and a proper music room. “We are looking forward to the newness of the building;

the whole open atmosphere, it is going to be really nice,” said Gregorash. As for an exact date of the move, “when it gets done, we are going to move,” he said. Beyond the move, there have been some exciting changes this year at the school. The school continues to grow, and Gregorash says they are seeing new students from the Hussar area, as the school has discontinued some of its programs; they are also receiving and influx of new Canadian students. New staff includes Kayla Angeltvedt who will be teaching Grade 1, filling in for a maternity leave. Susan Currie is also filling in a maternity leave in Grade 2. There is another new teacher filling in a maternity leave at the Grade 4 level named Chloe Grant. Robin Braconnier began last school year at St. Anthony’s, and is continuing at the school teaching humanities at the junior high level. Another addition is Daniel Gregorash, who will be teaching senior high Math and Physics. This year St. Anthony’s is of-

fering a full-time, five day per week Kindergarten program. Gregorash says they are meeting a demand for the program. “It’s a pilot program so we’ll see how it works,” said Gregorash. “I know the Alberta government is looking at possibly funding full-time Kindergarten.” The school will continue with its part-day Kindergarten program.

Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

The Morgan Jayne Project is looking for some willing grillmasters to man the barbecue at the Red Eye Memorial softball tournament next month. The sale of burgers and beer gardens will raise funds for infants facing exposure to AIDS in Roatan, an island off the coast of Honduras, through the Morgan Jayne Project started by local Fred Makowecki. “This is our major fundraiser,” says Makowecki, adding the project raised $3,000 last year. The project is asking people to help by volunteering for three or four hour

shifts that will help keep food flowing to the atheletes playing the 72-hour non-stop softball tournament. The Morgan Jayne Project provides infant formula and supplies to children at risk of contracting HIV and AIDS from their mothers through breast milk. “The economic slowdown has seen a rise in infant mortality,” says Makowecki. “Please help us save infants from a horrible, preventable death.” The Red Eye Memorial softball tournament is in memory of local Chris Bolin who passed in a car accident in 2005. The proceeds not only benefit the Morgan Jayne Project, but the Drum-

heller Fire Department and the Chris Bolin Scholarship. The tournament is held September 10 until September 12 at the Hoodoo RV Resort.

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, your emotions can lose their force when you don't express them. Rather than keeping everything bottled inside, start releasing pent-up feelings.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, there's not much time to tackle a project that you have been putting off. Procrastination won't win you any points and may only cause extra stress.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Make a move before someone beats you to it, Taurus. Otherwise you may kick yourself for the lost opportunity. Pisces weighs in with an opinion.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 It's time you did some socializing, Capricorn. Whether you attend a party or throw one yourself, it is healthy to be in the good company of friends and family.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you have been feeling you're ready for a change then maybe it's time to start putting out your resume and sampling the job market. You never know the results. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have so much love to share but it seems that others aren't so receptive to the offers lately. Maybe your presentation is in need of some fine tuning.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, apologies will only bandage the wounds but not completely heal them. Your actions will have to be stronger if you want to right a wrong that has occurred. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Be especially careful when assessing a risk, Libra. The risk might have a high reward, but you're more comfortable sticking to the straight and narrow. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, others are constantly looking to you for support, but now is your time to seek a little extra help. The best fix for a troubled mind is talking things through.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Arguments are inevitable, Aquarius. You see something one way, and an adversary sees things much differently. Will you learn to compromise? PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, there is a fun adventure in store but it won't be what you imagine. Chances are if you overthink it you will ruin the surprise. Sponsored by

inSideENTERTAINMENT Date confirmed for FireFit in Drumheller LAST CHANCE SALOON inSide Drumheller | inSideDrumheller.com

Earlier this spring five members of the Drumheller Fire Department competed in the Scott FireFit competition in Medicine Hat including (l-r) Travis Hardy, Merv Smith, Jordan Harper, Duane Bolin, and Matt Bolin. Organizers have confirmed that the weekend of June 11 and 12, 2011 there will be an event in Drumheller. photo submitted

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

It has been confirmed that Drumheller has been successful in its bid to host a Scott FireFit event. Drumheller firefighter Duane Bolin, who is working on organizing the event, told inSide Drumheller the dates for the event next spring have been confirmed. “It will be the second weekend in June,” said Bolin. “It is going to be a busy year because Medicine Hat is going to try to host nationals, so Alberta will have a few extra competitors.” He says FireFit enjoys coming to smaller communities and often has a strong turn out for these events. So far in Alberta, there are requests next season for events in Fort McMurray, Edmonton and Medicine Hat. The competition will be held on June 11 and 12. The showcase will be the traditional FireFit competition. This is where firefighters go head to head on a gruelling course that tests their skills, strength, speed and stamina, going through the paces of firefighter challenges while dressed in full gear and air packs. The competition is regularly featured on TSN and OLN. Bolin and a number of Drumheller firefighters have competed in the event, and this season Bolin and Merv Smith placed first and second

respectively in the over 45 category in Medicine Hat. The FireFit competition has both individual and team events. This year they are looking at adding a corporate challenge to the event where local teams of non-firefighters can put together a team and try out a modified course. Another component that will be added is the TopCop event. This is a new event, and like the FireFit competi-

tion that emulates the tasks of firefighters, TopCop is modelled on a peace officer’s duties. The competition is open to anyone employed in a law enforcement agency or similar agency, such as park wardens. Bolin indicated he has heard a good response from corrections officers from the Drumheller Institution. Any funds raised at the event next spring will be directed toward the Badlands Community Facility. Bolin said so far he has had a good response from the Chamber of Commerce, the Town of Drumheller and the community at large for the event. He said they are still looking sponsors for the event and are focusing on that aspect moving ahead with the planning. “Now that we have the date finally solidified, we are going to start pounding the pavement for it,” said Bolin. For more information on the FireFit or TopCop competition, see www.firefit.com. For more information on the Drumheller event and how to get involved, contact Bolin at 403-823-2559.

The Drumheller Dragons exhibition season starts on Monday, August 30 versus the Olds Grizzlys, and this year they will find themselves in a shootout. The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) will hold a post-game shootout following each game in the 2010 exhibition season. The pre-season shootout will allow all participants including the players, coaches and game officials an opportunity to experience the shootout prior to the start of the AJHL regular season.
