Drumheller Town Council is aiming to have the Town’s water and sewer utility rates finalized early in the new year. Before settling on what the new rates will be, Council was presented with different options they could pursue. The goal of the rates, as mandated by the Municipal Governance Act, is for the Town to recover its costs for the utilities. “Tonight, we were presented with a couple options; a three per cent cost of living increase, a five per cent increase, to a possible seven per cent increase,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “Historically, our budget has been three per cent...but it’s a decision Council will make after meeting with the consultant. He’s going to take us through the whole process and answer any questions that Council has.” For example, with a three per cent increase, the fixed rate for water would go from $10.50 to $10.80 and the metered rate would go from $1.36 per cubic metre to $1.39. A five per cent increase would result in a fixed rate of $11.00 and
a metered rate of $1.41 per cubic metre. In the Town’s budget, calculations were made assuming a three per cent increase. The Town is on track, with a three per cent increase, to raise roughly $2.8 million from its utilities. That amount covers the operating costs of the Town’s utilities, but leaves little leftover. Increasing the utilities rates further would give the Town extra to put towards reserves and fund repairs or capital proj-

Once again I would like to pass on my thanks and appreciation to Keith Russell and his work mates. The attention paid to not only the snow removal on the streets of Drumheller, but also particularly to that of the walking trails as is the case between Nacmine and the Black Bridge, is most welcomed. Now, if the Province could only figure out what’s going on with the road material involving two of the major intersections in Town we will really be doing something. Thanks again guys and have a very Happy Holiday Season. D. Anderson

ects. “The way the province has it set up, they say we should be collecting a whole lot more money to put into reserves,” said Mayor Yemen. Other options presented to Council included different ratios between fixed and metered rates for utilities. However, decreasing one would necessitate an increase in the other to generate the same amount of revenue. “We can eliminate the fixed rate, but the meter rate goes up. For ex-
ample, if we lowered the fixed rate to $5.00 per month, the meter rate goes up to $1.59 per cubic meter,” said Yemen. “There’s still a cost to have that line and that meter, so you want to do it as fairly as possible.” Council will be meeting with their consultant tomorrow to discuss the utility rates further. From there, Council will make a decision early in the new year. Until Council makes their decision, the 2012 rates will still apply.

Staff Sergeant requests more officers for Drumheller Michael James | inSide Drumheller
A request has been made that would see more RCMP officers on the streets of Drumheller. At the November 19 meeting of Town Council, Drumheller RCMP Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins requested councillors consider hiring additional RCMP officers and suggested joint funding with surrounding communities. He also made the same plea to Starland County Council at their meeting on Tuesday, December 11. “I’m always looking for more police officers. To provide a service to the public, the more officers, the better,” said Staff Sergeant Hopkins. There are two areas more officers would be needed. The first is to make up for a staffing shortfall. The Drumheller RCMP detachment currently has 11 members, but due to maternity leaves and other causes the detachment
has been running with nine members. The hope is to run consistently with at least 11 members. The second need is for a community liaison officer, who could do more preventive policing. “It would be more involved in giving presentations to the schools or community for various types of crime or interests,” said Staff Sergeant Hopkins. It is hoped such an officer could visit schools and other community organizations in the area to give presentations. “There are a lot of things that can be done in the schools, but it’s not just restricted to them. There are presentations we’ve done with seniors about frauds or senior abuse. There are presentations we can make to various groups in the community,” said Staff Sergeant Hopkins. “We’ve got schools out in Delia, Morrin, and more where a police officer could show up there. There’s D.A.R.E., Duke of Edinburgh, and cyber-
bullying out there too. There are so many things being levied on us, which takes time away from other things.” Curtis LaPierre, principal of Drumheller Valley Secondary School, would welcome a greater RCMP presence at the school. “We have a really close working relationship
with the RCMP in town. We’ve had them in quite often...and we’re more than happy to have them in the building,” said LaPierre. The decision to hire any additional officers rests upon Town Council. It is hoped a decision can be reached soon. “Right now, we’re try-
ing to catch-up and we’re not doing any preventa-
tive policing,” said Staff Sergeant Hopkins.

Lieutenant Rachel Sheils says those who may have missed the sign up day can still register. “The blitz happened last Thursday, but if people missed making an appointment they can call the office at 403-823-2215 and we will arrange an appointment time. One more designated appointment day is December 18 from 1 -4 p.m. They now focus on building the Christmas Hampers.
Now that they have a rough estimate of their needs, they have begun to collect hams and turkeys. They estimate they will need about 70 turkeys and 30 hams.

The Salvation Army website has a list of the estimated number of toys needed this year. The greatest need is for teenagers followed by youngsters ages 7-11 and children 0-2. To get in to the holiday spirit, The Salvation Army is hosting Breakfast with Santa at Oshea’s this Saturday morning. Santa of course will be there from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and they will be serving a full breakfast. There is no charge for the fun family event, but a donation may be made in support.
There are still opportunities for residents to give to the community by volunteering to man the Christmas Kettles. “We are still looking for a few more kettle volunteers. We have most of our shifts filled except for the last week before Christmas, we have a few openings still,” said Sheils. “We have about 30 shifts between our locations that we need to fill.” To volunteer, contact the Salvation Army Community Services offices at 403-823-2215.

venue that strips through the stress, the worry, and the distractions and lets you immerse yourself in the good feelings that Christmas should bring. Rosebud’s Christmas musical May and Joe is a Rosebud original, and could be destined to be a Christmas classic. It is co-authored by Heather Pattengale and Morris Ertman. The music and lyrics were written and performed by Paul Zacharias each night of the show. They find the Christmas spirit this year on a cold road, somewhere in Northern Ontario. On this cold road are a pregnant teen, a skeptical young man and a bitter angel. All are a little damaged, but help is just

a miracle away. In fact, it’s the miracle that plays a role in most Christian thought that is also the centerpiece of this play. ‘You’re pregnant? How? Oh, a miracle?” As the young innocent couple struggle to reconcile, they are helped along by an angel whose wings have long since withered. Rosebud always does Christmas right, and in fact, it’s home grown production, outshines some of the classics. The story is comical, poignant and moves long well. The craftsmanship of the music is what builds the character of the show and sets it apart. Many of these songs can stand alone and act less as devices to carry the action or highlight, but the simple arrangements with a guitar, piano and bass carry the emotion. Sometimes we need a reset button to refocus during the holidays and Rosebud continues to provide that outlet for another holiday season. May and Joe runs until December 22.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there is bound to be a learning curve when you begin a new job or a new task. Do not be hard on yourself if it takes you a little longer. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, thoughtful reflection certainly may provide some of the answers you seek. But another way is to simply get out there and ask other people what they think. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, sad situations may come up, but you have a way of deflecting the situation and showcasing the bright side of things. You may find you are a person providing support this week. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, many opportunities to entertain family and friends are on the horizon. Honor all of your commitments and enjoy all of the festivities. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, while you aspire to have many friends, you just may find that there are only a few special people who hold the strings to your heart. It is okay to keep them close. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sit down and enjoy some peace and quiet. You may enjoy the break from the frenetic pace you have been keeping the last few months.
Sudoku Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Ever an ideas person, Scorpio, now you have to put some follow-through into those plans. You can likely find a few friends to join you on your next adventure.

One summer, not too many years ago, there were an uncommon number of wasps around my yard. After being stung once or twice, I decided to ďŹ nd the nest. When mowing the side yard one day, I saw it on the underside of a wooden table on my deck. I had long since determined that the wasps were an annoyance, and so the nest must go. I would trap them. I got suited up in plastic garbage bags, gauntlets, and a hat. I had an ice cream bucket as the trap. I waited until there were only a few buzzing around, and then quickly slammed the ice cream bucket over the nest. Ha, I did it, I trapped those nasty wasps. After the thrill of victory came the realization, “What now smart guyâ€?? “You’re holding an ice cream bucket over a nest of angry waspsâ€?. “What’s your next move, you trapped them, what nowâ€??   The Town is going to start trapping coyotes. Good idea. Maybe. What is going to happen to the coyotes once they are trapped? Will they be relocated to some rural location, from which, coyotes being coyotes, they will return in 7 to 10 working days. Or will they be shot? The Town makes very little mention of what will happen after they are trapped, but I’m sure there’s a plan. Then again, maybe it’s just a “make work programâ€? for the fellow doing the trapping. Hell, he could even use the same coyote.                           The Town of Hanna is making national headlines with its new anti-bullying bylaw. I’m sure that it’s well intentioned, unfortunately it is unenforceable. You must deďŹ ne bullying. It may be one thing to one person, and something totally dierent to the next person. And that next person may be the innocent bystander, who according to the bylaw, is no longer innocent, but complicit in a crime he or she may have taken to be no more than horseplay, or good natured ribbing. The Mayor of Hanna says this will be no “one-o â€? thing, that if you are walking down the street and someone calls you a name, the police will not get involved. Unfortunately, this bylaw has opened the door. To what degree must the name calling reach before the police get involved, and who decides when enough is enough? If you feel bullied, or intimidated by someone calling you a name, then the police are obligated to get involved. Bystanders may be charged for doing nothing. The same ďŹ nes, and jail. What happens if he or she just happens to be in the vicinity when the incident takes place? Maybe he or she is looking the other direction, and takes no note? Still a bystander, still did nothing, still broke the law. We have become very silly. It won’t be long before someone is oended or intimidated by the way someone looks at them. Time for a new bylaw, so that the RCMP has a mechanism with which to handle such anti-social behavior. I did say that it was getting scary out there.  Â
oďŹƒce. You can work outside or anywhere in the world. How long have you lived in Drumheller? Over ten years. Where are you from originally? Fort McMurray. What do you like most about Drumheller? The sense of community. It’s a small enough town that people know your name, but big enough you can meet new people who come from all over the world. Any travel destinations in mind? I’d really like to go to Australia. What’s the coolest place you’ve been to? The Columbia IceďŹ elds was really cool. We went in the summer, but it was so cold next to the glacier I had to put a jacket on. If you could travel through time, when
and where would you go? Probably the 1950’s. Who would you like to hang out with? Probably Obama. He’d be a cool guy to sit down and talk with. Favourite Christmas dish? My mom makes a family dish of sweet potatoes with marshmallows on top. What is your most memorable childhood toy? I had a little excavator. They were building a subdivision next to our house and my mom took me over. One of the operators gave me a ride in the same kind of excavator I had. Favourite Christmas movie? National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Favourite games? Call of Duty Black Ops 2. What’s on your playlist? Mostly top 40 stu, but I also listen to the oldies, like Pearl Jam, Aerosmith, AC/DC, and U2. What superpower would you want? Teleportation. You’d think “power’s out, it’s cold. I’ll just teleport to somewhere warm.â€? Any words of wisdom? Stay classy.

Light shone down on the Titans. After about a year, the DVSS football field has a glow that will only benefit the Drumheller Titans as four standards tower above the gridiron, each holding nine 1,500-watt lights. The lights illuminated the field during their late afternoon practice. The project was a long time coming and according to Mike Ostergard of the Drumheller Titans, it began with closing of Race City Speedway in Calgary. The Titans learned the track had lights that were to be disposed of. While originally they planned to purchase the lights, the ownership of Race City Speedway decided they would rather donate the standards and lights. The generous donation of about $22,000 in lights was just the beginning. They need to get the lights to Drumheller, set up and ultimately functional. Ostergard said Scott McKay Contracting generously took over the project, from transport to flicking the switch. The project was helped with financial support from the community. Along with many other donors, last spring Suncor and Tech, owners of the Wintering Hills Wind installation do-

nated a total of $15,000 to the project. While they are simply light poles, they bring opportunity and versatility for Drumheller Football. Again this year the Senior Titans were playing deep into the post season, and the lights allowed the team to extend their practice time, It also made it safer. The lights will add versatility to their schedule, making it possible for the long-standing football tradition of Friday Night Lights, adding evening games to their schedule in the future.

Tier 2 Pee Wee Raptors win gold in Camrose Michael James | inSide Drumheller
It was a big weekend for the NGC Tier 3 Raptors. The team headed to Camrose for their first tournament of the year. The Raptors returned home with a gold medal after a hard fought weekend. “We played against teams from central Alberta and some were from Saskatchewan. All of them were pretty close games and pretty good battles. We eventually got into the finals,” said Jason James, head coach of the team. The Raptors won over teams from Chestermere, Fort Saskatchewan, Kindersly, and Sherwood Park before heading to the final game against the hometown Camrose Drillers. It was a tense game for those watching. “It was a tough game. We were down 4-3 going into the third, but we came back and won 6-4,” said James. “It was up and down emotionally. For awhile there it didn’t look like we’d get ahead, but

we kept slugging away.” The Raptors were at a little disadvantage compared to some teams. The team only has 11 players, which is just enough for two lines. The busy schedule for the tournament was punishing. “We don’t have a big team. We only have about two lines, so it was a lot
of hockey over the weekend and they were tired by the end,” said James. “They didn’t have any rest until they got home Sunday night. It was a great weekend,with good hockey, and the kids worked hard.” Christmas is coming up soon, but the team will be doing league games

against the host team, the Camrose Drillers. The Raptors were behind 4-3 at the start of the third period, but came back to win the game, and tournament, 6-4.
for the next two weeks. So far in their league, the Raptors are the top team. “In the league we’re doing really well; we’ve basically only had one loss this year,” said James. “There’s good chemistry in the team and things are coming together.”
The Hi-Way 9 Tier 5 Raptors will be having their first tournament of the year this weekend in Drumheller. Five teams, from Airdrie, High River, Okotoks, and two from Sherwood Park will descend upon Drumheller starting Saturday. The first game starts at 8:30 Saturday morning and the final game will be 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Proceeds raised from 50/50 sales and a raffle table will go towards the Raptors. “The money goes to the team so the kids can attend different things, like other tournaments,” said Jackie Watts, manager of the team. The Hi-Way 9 Raptors have had a good season so far and have a busy schedule between now and Christmas. “They’re doing really well, especially after we moved up to Tier 5,” said Watts. “We’ve got a jam packed schedule. We go right up to Christmas, then we get a little break.”

Power play gives Dragons edge in win over Grizzlys Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The momentum continues to build for the Drumheller Dragons. On Tuesday, the boys in orange headed to the den of the Olds Grizzlys and came away with a decisive 6-2 victory. The Dragons power play, which was on ďŹ re, was the deciding factor of the game. “We took advantage of our opportunities, we got some lucky bounces, and had some guys pay the price in front of the net. It wasn’t anything that was really fancy. We got traďŹƒc in front of the net. It’s tough for goalies to stop pucks they can’t see,â€? said Brian Curran, head coach and general manager of the Dragons. No sooner had the game started when Grizzly Dylan Hubbs started a ďŹ ght with Dragon Colton Vannucci. Hubb was called for ďŹ ghting as well as instigating, giving the Dragons a power play a mere 16 seconds into the game. Bryton Mills took advantage for the Dragons, scoring only seconds later. The Grizzlys tied the game up just over two minutes later, but when the second period started, the Dragons dominated thanks to the Grizzlys fondness for the penalty box. From 7:56 into the second period to 11:21, the Grizzlys were slapped with a string of penalties. The Dragons capitalized on all three chances, with two more goals from Mills and one

seemed to run out of steam last week when they lost three in a row. “I want us to work on our consistency. There were three games there where we didn’t score any power play goals. The opportunities were there,� said Curran. “But, I would say for the last seven weeks, our power play has been really consistent and that’s what you need.� The Dragons also have settled on who will be their two goalies. Two weeks ago, the decision was made to let Christopher Wray go and have Braden Stone and Adam Beukeboom in net. “He’s [Wray] a phenomenal kid. It was a very tough decision,� said Curran. “They [Stone and Beukeboom] have done great so far
from Mitchell Gartner. The Dragons’ only goal not scored while on the power play came at 13:38 into the second by Cavin Leth. Before the game was through, the Grizzlys scored once more and Joey Raats gave the Dragons their sixth goal of the night. Many of the Dragons boosted their point totals for the season. Mills, got his ďŹ rst hat trick of the season and was named the star of the game for the Dragons. Mitchell Gartner put up a goal and two assists. Brennan Baxandall and Ryan Bloom both earned three assists during the game. The Dragons power play had been consistently strong over the past two months, but

and we hope they continue to play consistent and strong.� The win gives the team a 17-14-2 record for 36 points, which leaves the Dragons in fourth place of the AJHL southern division. The Dragons remain of the road this weekend and will be taking on the AJHL’s top team, the Brooks Bandits, tonight. The Bandits have only been dealt one loss this season and are currently in the midst of an 11 game winning streak. On Saturday, the Dragons will then head to Okotoks to face the Oilers, who are four points ahead of the Dragons. “I really want to see us play our best game for all 60 minutes and show them what we’re capable of,� said Curran.
