OPINION Town conducting periodic cat trapping in core Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Town of Drumheller this month began periodic trapping of cats in the downtown core in response to complaints. The Town of Drumheller made mention to the program on its Facebook page on December 4. “There are some businesses that have cats hanging around,” said community enforcement supervisor Greg Peters. He said so far they have trapped one feral cat and it was relocated to a rural residence to live as a barn cat. He said they are placing the traps only during the day so if an animal is caught it is not exposed excessively to the elements. He said while feral cats can be a problem, not all the felines hanging around downtown are wild. “Some of them are really friendly and well fed, these are domestic cats,” he said adding that in one instance a cat was so “well fed” it couldn’t fit into the trap. “So keeping with the new Responsible Pet Owner Bylaw draft I am completing we want to stress to people to keep cats at home,” said Peters. “I know cats want to go outside, but there are a lot of well-fed friendly cats just walk-
ing our streets.” He understands it is a controversial subject and recognizes the usefulness of feral cars with pest control, and often at night he would see them catching mice. But he also understands they can be nuisance. Keeping cats at home is also the best way to keep cats safe. Peters says if any residents have questions or feedback to feel free to contact community enforcement at 403-8231363.
Countdown to Christmas! Only
The Town of Drumheller is cleaning up the streets in the Downtown area. Community Enforcement will be trapping cats in an effort to reduce the feral cat population. Residents are encouraged to keep their cats at home and inside. filephoto

Alcohol can make highways deadly Submitted | inSide Drumheller
Recent fatal collisions involving impaired drivers highlight the horrific consequences of drinking and driving. In the wake of several deadly crashes occurring on Alberta highways in December, Alberta’s RCMP and Sheriffs Integrated Traffic Units (ITUs) are continuing to remind the public that impaired driving is illegal and potentially deadly. To ensure the safety of all highway users, officers will be continuing with the Alberta Checkstop program throughout the holiday season. Superintendent Howard Eaton, Officer in Charge K Division Traffic Services, says Most Albertans don’t drink and drive, but it appears that some people just don’t get it! These people continue to drive with a total disregard for the safety of others sharing the road, getting involved in collisions, injuring and killing innocent people. When a loved one is killed because of an impaired driver, it is absolutely senseless and especially devastating during
the holidays. We all need to work together to stop this from happening. James Stiles, Superintendent, Deputy Director, Sheriff Traffic Operations North, further added, “During the holiday season everyone needs to do their part in keeping the roads safe. Know your own limits, don’t let friends drink and drive, don’t get into a vehicle with a driver who has been drinking, and report any suspected impaired driver. Our goal is to have everyone arrive safely at their destination.” RCMP Sergeant Brian Topham, a supervisor at the Integrated Traffic Unit in the Edmonton region says “We’ve had a busy two weekends, arresting and charging 15 individuals for impaired driving and driving over .08 BAC since December 1st. That’s 15 people in four nights! Our members throughout the province will continue to aggressively seek out impaired drivers and get them off the road during the holiday season in hope that we all enjoy a safe holiday.” As part of Alberta’s Traffic Safety Plan, the Integrated Traffic Units provide an extra focus on
impaired driving throughout the month of December. During this time, Alberta Checkstops will be conducted at locations throughout the province. If someone observes a suspected impaired driver, call 911 to report the vehicle description, license
plate, location and direction of travel to the 911 operator to allow officers to attempt to locate and stop the vehicle. Ensure that the call is made from a safe location and that cell phones are only used in a hands-free mode of operation.
Lions share Christmas spirit
Impaired Driving Statistics for Alberta • As the severity of the collision increases, so does the likelihood that the collision involved a drinking driver. • On average in Alberta, one in five drivers involved in fatal collisions had been drinking prior to the collision. • Males between 18 and 24 years of age are most likely to have been drinking before a collision. • Most casualty collisions involving alcohol occur on the weekends. • The most likely time for these collisions is between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m. • Drinking and driving collisions are often associated with long weekends. • Drinking and driving imposes enormous costs on our society. The true cost of drinking and driving is the victims. From 2006 to 2010, 569 people were killed and 8,530 people were injured in alcohol-related collisions. In 2010 alone, 96 people were killed and 1,384 were injured. (Source: Government of Alberta Ministry of Transportation www.transportation.alberta.ca/4959. htm)
Christmas Tree Recycling Program
Christmas trees to be delivered to the landfill by residents, all residents who deliver their trees will be entered into a draw for composters and/or water barrels (there will be 10 Winners). All trees will be chipped and the chipped material will either be utilized by the Town Parks department or residents will be allowed to take some for free This program will run from December 31, 2012 to January 18, 2013. Merry Christmas from the management and staff of the Drumheller Landfill / Recycling 403.823.1343
The Town of Drumheller is seeking three individuals to fill the positions of Shift Supervisors at the Drumheller Aquaplex Mayor’s Christmas Message Well, it is hard to believe that it is already time to say Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. What a great year we have had here in Drumheller. I would like to recognize Drumheller’s committed and dedicated Town staff, active volunteers, community groups and organizations who work tirelessly during the year to make our community a better place to live. This season, let us reach out to those who might need that extra helping hand. On behalf of myself and Council, I extend warmest wishes for a safe and wonderful holiday season. Public Utility Information On December 17th, Council passed first reading for Bylaw 17-12 regarding the utility rates. The Bylaw provides for a 3% increase to the base rates as well as the consumption rate for the water utility only. In addition to this increase, there will be a $1 levy as an Infrastructure Investment Surcharge, and is directly added to the Capital Reserves. There is no increase in the WasteWater utility rates for 2013. A combined water and wastewater utility bill using a consumption of 19 cubic meters would cost $77.96 in December and $80.04 in January, an increase of $2.08 or 2.66%. The Town of Drumheller will be celebrating our 100th Anniversary in 2013. The actual date of our anniversary is May 15th. The committee has developed a logo for the anniversary and we would like everyone to have the opportunity to use this logo for themselves, ie. Team badges, letterhead, swag, etc. The business world may want to mark a sale as a” Centennial Sale” or incorporate the idea of 100 or multiples thereof in the marketing of their products. We would like to have everyone to try to celebrate this special 100th anniversary of the Town in some way; privately or very publicly, whatever suits you and your family/company best. For additional information call Paul Salvatore at 403-823-1324

This is for all the Clark W. Griswold’s in the world. Those who have the determination to brighten everyone’s Christmas as much as their homes. D u r i n g a drive through Drumheller a friend suddenly exclaimed, “look at that house!” I glanced over and saw a beacon of light in the darkness, a house and lawn so completely covered in Christmas lights and de corations I would hazard a guess that planes overhead could make it out. We stopped and could only marvel in awe of the sight before us. Afterwards, we drove around and found other houses that strive to create illuminated works of art out of their homes each Christmas. For Paul Ainscough, it is his grandchildren that inspire him to spend a whole day outside in the cold assembling the illuminating display of Christmas cheer in his front yard. “We’ve got seven grandchildren. They’re kind of used to it by now and they look forward to us doing something ev-
ery year,” said Ainscough. The Ainscough lawn is a sight to behold. It is filled, with nary a bare inch to be found, with wire animals, snowmen, and Santa all lit up in different hues. In the back yard, stand two huge inflatable Christmas decorations. “Sometimes people walking by stop and you
can see them looking at what we put out,” said Ainscough. For others, it just isn’t Christmas without lights. “We decorate every year. Christmas is a special time, always has been for our family. We just like decorating,” said Nick Sereda. Putting together such a brilliant display takes a serious investment of time. “It usually takes a full day to put everything together. We try to do it in November when it’s nicer,” said Ainscough.
Over the years though, some have observed things are a but dimmer than in the past. “I remember there was a lot more going on. I don’t know if it is the extra cost of electricity, but growing up, there seemed to be a lot more,” said Sereda. Ainscough said he doesn’t see much of a spike in his power use, certainly not to the extent where the meter is spinning out of control. “ W e don’t see much of an increase. We use LED’s, they really work to keep the power down,” said Ainscough. Others worry about vandalism. “ L a s t year was hard, because a lot of people in the area got hit by vandalism. We had two blow ups [decortions] and a few other things damaged,” said Ainscough. However, Ainscough and Sereda won’t let those tribulations won’t snow on their Christmas spirit. “It’s fun to see. I’ll be going out soon to see all the decorations. It’s nice to drive around and take a look at what people do,” said Ainscough. “As long as we can do it, we can do it.”

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Both social and business communication require some tact this week, Aries. You can handle it, and you should be prepared to meet some interesting people. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your confidence and energy are strong, but you seem to be having difficulty sitting still for enough time to get a handle on other people’s opinions and viewpoints. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 New options present themselves that are excellent for educational pursuits, Gemini. Friends will be supportive of any ideas that you devise, even if they seem a little offcenter. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, this week you could gain the attention of people in high positions. Use the opportunity to get your best points heard if you have the chance. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, this should be one of those glorious weeks when you have the feeling that everything is moving along smoothly and according to your master plan. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your confidence is high and there is just about nothing that you fear or think you cannot handle this week. Float along on these feelings of euphoria for a while. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you will show leadership in your profession over the next several days. This also will extend into your personal life, where you may have more energy in home affairs.
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!

Chips with Salsa a little spicy

by C. Aiello
Tuesday is Christmas Day, the day of the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Funny thing is, in that part of the world where His birth took place, the Middle East, there hasn’t been any real peace since He was born. Does that say something about the Prince of Peace, or does it convict us humans? Is He the Prince, not so much of Peace, but of discord instead? Did He come to bring us love and salvation, or hate and damnation? Today we have politicians who commit themselves, and all the resources (your tax dollars) they can muster, to putting an end to poverty. They are somehow of the misconception that if only more money was put into more programs, then poverty could be eradicated. Allow me a line I read in a book somewhere: “The poor you shall always have with you, and you can help them anytime you want”. Alright, the book was the Bible, Gospel of Mark, Chapter 14, verse 7 and the speaker was no less an authority than Jesus Christ. Now when Jesus Christ tells you that we will always have the poor with us, you’d better take note. And some politician is going to put an end to poverty? I think not. Read your Bible. For all the billions spent on welfare programs over the years, you would think by now that we would know we are incapable of eradicating poverty. Allow me another line I read somewhere: “Welfare’s purpose should be to eliminate, as far as possible, the need for its own existence”. The simple logic of that statement is truly beautiful. It’s from the Los Angeles Times, 1970, and the speaker was Ronald Reagan. This man knew his Bible. Tuesday is Christmas Day. Jesus was born on this day, not into a wealthy family, and a comfortable home, but to a carpenter, and in a stable. He never knew great wealth, and anything He did have, He shared with others. He taught us to share, and to give; that the man next to you was as good as you; that the lowliest among us would be first, and those who placed themselves first, would be made last. (No qeue jumping, not even for politicians). When something bad happens to someone, you often hear the lament, “Why me Lord, why have you let me be so afflicted?” We always want to know why a loving God would let calamity befall us. Yet how often do you hear the same thing from the guy who wins $20 million on 6/49? “Why me Lord, what have I done to deserve this?” You win millions of dollars, and the Lord looks down, thinking “Well kid, what good deeds are you going to do with all your new wealth?” “If you ask me…Oh who am I kidding, how many times has anybody ever asked me?” “Still, I must have faith in them, My Son was willing to become one of them, and die for them, so there’s got to be something there.” From me to you, I wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas, and may God bless you all.

Dragon named Canalta Player of the Week Michael James | inSide Drumheller
A veteran in the ranks of the Drumheller Dragons is being recognized as one of the top players in the AJHL. Forward Ryan Bloom, a 19 year old Calgary native, was named the Canalta Player of the Week for the week of December 10 to 16. “I’d say there are three guys that deserved to be looked at for that Player of the Week. Ryan, Bryton Mills, and Brennan Baxandall,â€? said Brian Curran, head coach and general manager of the Dragons. “I’m really happy one of our boys got it.â€? During that week, Bloom accumulated one goal and six assists for a total of seven points. Bloom is currently leading the Dragons in goals, assists, and points and has proven himself to be consistently contributing to the Dragons’ eorts. Curran attributed that success to Bloom’s conďŹ dence and determination and his line mates. “If you look at his line, which is him, Bryton Mills, and Colton Vanucci, they’ve really played well together. It’s a very successful line,â€? said Curran. “Even when teams focus on them, they battle through. That’s just how Ryan plays.â€? Amongst the league leaders, Bloom is in 12th place for points. Over the 2012-2013 season, Bloom has averaged one point per game and has contributed 11 points in December alone. With 24 games left in the regular season, Bloom is on track to surpass his 2011-2012 totals of 17 goals, 28 assists, and 45 points. This will be the third season Bloom will have played with the Dragons.
Drumheller Dragon Ryan Bloom was named the AJHL Player of the Week for December 10 to 16. Bloom, a third year veteran of the Dragons, scored one goal and six as-
sists during that week. Bloom is currently the Dragons points leader and ranks at 12th in the AJHL. inSide photos by Michael James and Mike Todor (inset)

of shots at Dragons goaltender, Adam Beukeboom. Early in the ďŹ rst period, they took a 1-0 lead. The lead would prove to be short-lived. At 11:21 into the ďŹ rst, Brodie Jamieson, with help from Mitchell Cook and Joey Raats, tied the game up for the Dragons. The teams headed to their dressing rooms with a 1-1 tie. The Dragons turned up the pressure for the second period. They sent a urry of 14 shots at the Mustangs net and kept the Mustangs shot count to a mere four. However, the Mustangs held on to keep the game tied at one apiece going into the third period. “We didn’t play a great ďŹ rst period, but we had a really solid second. We had a lot of opportunities and the score could have been a bit more lopsided, but we just didn’t capitalize,â€? said Brian Curran, head coach and general manager of the Dragons. One of the challenges the team had to adjust to was playing on an Olympic-sized rink “That ice size makes a bit of a dierence. You have to skate a little further to get anywhere,â€? said Curran.

Then, barely a minute into the third period, Brodie Jamieson and Mitchell Cook gave the Dragons another goal and a 2-1 lead. “Brodie had a great cut in on the goalie, made a great move, held the puck as long as he could, and there was the game winner,â€? said Curran. A minute later, tempers ared in the otherwise tame game when a Adam Danyluk and Mustang Blair Wentworth were called for boarding, which sparked a brawl involving Dragons Tristan Reimer, Danyluk, and three Mustangs. As of press time, the Dragons had 40 points on the season, two points behind the Okotoks Oilers, and fourth place in the AJHL southern division. The Dragons are already tied with their point total from the 2011-2012 AJHL season. The Dragons, along with the rest of the AJHL, will be taking a break over the holidays. They will be returning to action on January 2 on the road against the Fort McMurray Oil Barons. The Dragons’ ďŹ rst game at home will be on January 9, when they host the Okotoks Oilers.
