This is the 18th year of the Seniors Dinner, the last being two years ago due to the renovations that took place at the DVSS. Guests were served a traditional Christmas dinner that included turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots, and a dessert of sticky date pudding. The meal was entirely homemade, including the bread used for the stuffing, by the Foods 20 and 30 students. The meal was made possible by a generous donation of $1500 from the Town of Drumheller. inSide photo by Michael James

particular door, although it could be used for people who aren’t seniors but have knee and back issues. Anyone who doesn’t do well on stairs should use that door. Taking into consideration there is only one main exit, I would think that door would be encouraged to keep the flow of traffic moving. (But I doubt that would be possible if all door marshals are like this one). When it was time to leave (after a well-deserved standing ovation), we stood up, with my mother only having to take one step down and walk out the doors. She was faced with a volunteer, guarding the door, who snarled in her face and remarked, “We don’t need to be starting a parade out THIS door.” She then grabbed a wheelchair and tried to get one of a mere three immediately out that door as if she was showing us that was the purpose of this “special” exit door. I was tempted to ask her if she would like to see my mother’s I.D., or perhaps “senior” meant over 90? And was I supposed to have purchased a companion ticket or something so I could accompany my mom out that special door? I wasn’t about to tell my mom to just go out in the crowd and wait for me to find her because I am not allowed to use the special senior door for fear of someone else following me who didn’t care to use the stairs – and then start a “parade.” I am not sure why this volunteer made my 84 year old mother feel she did

With legislation to destroy the single desk of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) having passed the House of Commons last week, Conservative MP Kevin Sorenson is singing soothing words that farmers will be able to count on the Board for the next five years. But farmers know better than to listen to siren songs. Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz told a committee that he would celebrate the swift removal of the government backstop: “If they do it in two years, it’ll be great.” After it lost its monopoly, it only took two years before the Australian Wheat Board was sold off to Agrium. Small family farmers were crushed under the weight of multinationals and are leaving the business in droves. Don’t expect anything less swift and gruesome in Canada. Just ask the Minister. Sincerely, Frank Valeriote, MP Liberal Critic for Agriculture and Agri-Food
Dear Editor; I was one of the lucky ones who went to see The Sound of Music at the Kaleidoscope Theatre. What an amazing cast of talented performers there were! Each character was so wellsuited to their part that it simply enhanced an already spectacular show of music, acting, choreography, singing and a remarkable set. I congratulate all who were involved. We did not leave in good spirits and I want to share this experience so people who volunteer consider the impact they have on others, as their behaviour reflects on the organization they are representing. Kaleidoscope does a professional job from start to finish and this is not meant to dishonour the group. Just because you are donating your time, does not mean you should treat people disrespectfully. I don’t think a person should volunteer if they don’t really enjoy what they are doing. I took my 84 year old mother to the play, which she will be marvelling about for years to come, I’m sure. Unfortunately, she will also be commenting about the way she was treated. When purchasing tickets in advance, I specifically sought out seats that were as close to the "senior’s entrance" as possible to avoid any stairs to climb. We should be able to go in the senior's entrance and exit the same way. I believe this is the whole idea for that
something wrong by using this door. This is in no way meant to discredit Kaleidoscope, although something like that stays in the back of one’s mind. It is meant to show people who volunteer how their actions can impact the good name of a group or club or establishment that has put their trust in them. In a town this size, a person can’t help but be put off and not care to do business where someone who treats you poorly works. This simply goes to show how much impact rudeness can have on another person. On the other hand, we also took in the Rosebud Christmas play and my mom couldn’t help but notice how often volunteers went and opened an outdoor exit just to let someone walk in or out, without having to take the stairs. We also had the good fortune to check out the Studio Stage production in Rosebud and were treated with nothing but kindness and respect once again. Aside from our negative experience at the end, I again applaud Kaleidoscope for one of the best shows ever – and for the record, we were treated very well at the box office and entering the theatre.

RCMP focuses on impaired driving over Christmas season submitted | inSide Drumheller
The Christmas season has arrived, and so has the season of Christmas parties and oďŹƒce get togethers. Unfortunately, this can also be a time when lives are torn apart by drinking and driving. “The members of the Drumheller Detachment would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year. With that being said, we also want everybody to return to their homes safely,â€? said Sta Sergeant Art Hopkins. He said the police realize that at this time of year there are many parties and social gatherings taking place that involve the consumption of alcohol. During the next few weeks, Drumheller Detachment will be implementing random checkstops in order to detect and deter persons from driving while under the inuence of alcohol or drugs. As alcohol is not the only substance that causes impairment, Drumheller Detachment now has two members who are capable and qualiďŹ ed to determine impairment by other drugs. The consequences of driving under the inuence are many. They can range from a driving prohibition to vehicle seizures. That is not including what could happen if someone gets hurt as a result of your actions while under the inuence. The ďŹ nancial implications to you and your family are huge should you get caught driving or are involved in a collision where someone gets hurt. “Please don’t drink and drive. If you are planning on drinking take the time to plan a ride home. The life you save may be your own.Remember your children are watching everything you do and modeling their behavior after you,â€? said Hopkins. According to a press release, impaired driving continues to be one of the leading preventable causes of death. Drivers who choose to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol not only put themselves at risk, but also threaten the safety of everyone else on the road. RCMP TraďŹƒc Services will be out in full force to ensure safe roads with a special focus on combating impaired driving. Check stops are conducted year round and especially during the holiday season in December. In Alberta, an average of 1 in 5, or 20%, of drivers involved in fatal collisions had been drinking prior to the collision. On average, 8100 people are convicted of impaired driving each year in this province alone. The eects of alcohol vary greatly and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can vary due to rate of consumption, rate of absorption, and rate of elimination. The type of drink does not determine impairment, rather
the amount of alcohol ingested over a speciďŹ c period of time. A bottle of beer, a glass of wine and a shot of hard liquor all contain approximately the same amount of alcohol. The bottom line is‌if
you have consumed any alcohol at all, then why take the risk? Be responsible and plan ahead. There are many safe alternatives to getting behind the wheel after a night out.

Town’s Economic Development Task Force survey pinpoints improvements Michael James| inSide Drumheller The Economic Development Task Force has released the results of the shopping survey sent out to residents earlier this year. The survey was mailed to residents and was available online, and asked ten questions aimed at getting an accurate picture of how often residents leave the valley, what goods/services they are purchasing, and why. “There’s information for the downtown merchants to see what people want and their perceptions,” said Councillor Sharel Shoff. Three hundred surveys were completed out of the three thousand that were sent out, a return of 10 per cent. “It’s a high percentage, usually it’s under three per cent,” said Shoff. “But, we have no idea of the demographics of who replied.” In regards to how many respondents did their Christmas shopping in Drumheller in 2010, 46 per cent replied yes. A third of respondents increased the shopping they do out of town. Forty per cent have also increased the amount of online shopping they do. Respondents identified clothing as the number one item they shop for out of town. Specifically, brand name clothing and a diverse selection are what shoppers seek. Bulk, specialty, and ethnic groceries came in second, followed by hardware, building supplies, shoes, household items, and furniture. Respondents indicated a desire for a bakery and bookstore as well.
The survey was able to identify why respondents are going beyond the valley to shop. Prices are deemed too high in Drumheller and a lack of selection. Downtown was criticized for having an uninviting appearance and for having restrictive hours. The perception among respondents was that shops downtown close just when most residents get off work. “The respondents told us they feel downtown should be a leader in retail,” said Diana Rowe of the Economic Development Task Force. “That’s a surprise because we didn’t ask questions that reference downtown.” Ninety five per cent of respondents went out of town for medical and other professional services. Respondents were also asked how often they went out of town for entertainment. Of those who responded, 42 per cent went one to three times a year, 23 per cent four to seven times, and 18 per cent went out of the valley twelve or more times a year. The information collected from the survey will be used to enhance the local shopping experience, particularly in downtown. “It’s an opportunity for the businesses to look at the services they are providing, their hours, and if there is something more they can do,” said Rowe. The report suggests that small improvements to the downtown area could go a long way to attract visitors. Adding floral arrangements, removing litter, and improving building facades are some areas to work on. There are other areas to improve upon as well. “It’s all about the shopping ex-
The results of the shopping survey conducted by the Economic Development Task Force are now in. Council was presented with the results on December 5. Many of the respondents targeted downtown businesses as the leaders of the local retail market. The results of the survey will be used to devise ways to attract more visitors to downtown and local businesses in general. inSide photo by Michael James
perience,” suggests Shoff. "A lot of times people will go somewhere because of that experience, they’re happy, they feel comfortable. “We found that customer service and satisfaction are 80 per cent of the solution, ahead of selection,” continued Shoff. “That gives loyalty to your business and if someone needs something, they’ll come to you first. “Perhaps more of the stores should have a greater internet presence,” said Shoff. “They need to use social media, because that’s what people use these days.” There may be other directions to take when improving downtown. It was suggested by councillor Tom Zariski to have downtown closed to traffic and change the emphasis in the area. “The idea is that we want people to come downtown, but competing with the large box stores is difficult,” said Zariski. “Other
communities who rely on tourism have turned their downtown into a tourist destination.” The idea has been brought up repeatedly over the years. Downtown would have patios for restaurants, galleries, some retail, and generally provide a historic downtown experience. “Whether we would do it here, I don’t know,” continued Zariski. “There’s all sorts of potential there that I’d like to explore. “We want to put a positive message on shopping in Drumheller.”
The results of the survey will be circulated to the Chamber of Commerce and local businesses. From there, the results may be used to develop strategies to encourage residents to shop locally. “The survey is good for some information,” said Zariski. “Taking the results of the survey and to suggest a need, that’s where the danger comes in.” “The survey speaks of opportunity,” said Rowe. “It’s up to the businesses now, all we can do is share the information.”

Should companies from outside Drumheller be able to join the Chamber? At least one member of the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce is not happy with the board’s current policy of allowing outside companies who do business in the valley to join the Chamber. Fred Makowecki is upset that a company from
Strathmore, which makes signs and doesn’t have a local office, but does provide a service in the valley, is able to join the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce. Makowecki said competition is not the issue. “It is not about the competition I couldn’t care less, if you don’t conduct your busi-
ness well you are not going to succeed,” he said. “What I do have a problem with is a sign shop from Strathmore that took out a membership with the Chamber of Commerce. It has no employees in town, as far as I know no business licence, no investment in the community. If you give them $100 for a

sign, he gives his money to the Rotary Club there (in Strathmore) or whatever they do.” He brought this issue up with the Chamber of Commerce. “How can you sell a membership to a company 90 kilometres away with no investment in the community? You are supposed to be promoting business in town that employs people. It is for the health of our community,” said Makowecki. He received a response from the Chamber of Commerce. President Barry Fullerton said the topic was vigorously discussed, but the Chamber came out supporting its current policy. In a letter to Makowecki, Fullerton said: “…In the end, the majority saw no reason to make any changes to our present practices in accepting new members from outside of Drumheller. It was felt that in 1968 when our name was changed to include ‘and District’, business was done very differently than it is today where many products and services are bought online. A company from outside that is already doing business in our community who seeks us out to purchase a membership is putting, in a small way, money back into our community through the many projects the Chamber participates in.” Makowecki feels that including 'and District,' but not providing a geographical border, is a slippery slope. “If you let Strathmore in, and draw a circle, wouldn’t that include Balzac then? Does that mean Sportchek can then take a membership in the Chamber of Commerce… am I the only one that sees this as wrong?” He feels the Chamber’s role is to support local business. “Chambers of Commerce are advocates for the businesses in town. They are a group that pulls together and says, ‘Come here and we’ll serve you.’ They are a mechanism not to just get cheap Visa rates or compa-
ny insurance policies, they are there to give you a step up and help you compete with exactly this kind of pressure.” Fullerton said the policy has been around for many years. “We are not here to deter business,” said Fullerton “All we are saying is, if they are going to go out of their way to join us, why shouldn’t we? We are not here to put borders around our town.”

“How can you sell a membership to a company 90 kilometres away with no investment in the community?" Fred Makowecki
He said denying a membership to a company that is already doing business in the community doesn’t help the community at all. “They are, through our membership, putting a few bucks back into the community into something we control. Talk to some of the not-for-profits, the Atlas Coal Mine would not be here today if it was not for the Chamber of Commerce.” He adds that by being inclusive, the community could foster a closer relationship with these businesses. “Maybe, somewhere down the line they may in fact open an office here,” said Fullerton. “There are businesses like that, that only come and take money out of the community and you are not going to stop it. Maybe somewhere along the line they may be more involved in the community, that is where we were coming from. There was a lot of heated debate on this, on whether we were going to put up borders and say we were not going to accept membership outside of these borders, but that is not right either.” “If you only protect the businesses that are here, the likelihood of you growing is slim.”

New law permits Alberta Sheriffs to screen for impaired drivers Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Under Alberta’s new drinking and driving laws, Alberta Sheriffs will soon have equipment to make roadside demands of breath. The Alberta Legislature passed third reading of Bill 26 on Tuesday night. Under this legislation if a person is found to have a .05 to .08 blood alcohol level on their first offense they could receive a three-day driving prohibition and three-day vehicle seizure; the penalty escalates with repeat offenses. These changes are to provincial laws and are not criminal charges. The legislation also has more stringent penalties for those with a blood alcohol level over .08. “This legislation will be a further tool to police to get drunk drivers off the road,” said Jonathan Denis, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security. “The tougher penalties target drunk drivers who repeatedly put us all at risk. Cracking down on high risk drivers is the right call for Alberta.” One of these tools will be in the hands of the Alberta traffic Sheriffs. “The Provincial Sheriffs will be able to further support the drunk driver laws by being able to give drivers suspensions, use screening devices,” said Dan Laville, communications director for the Solicitor General and Public Security. “They can carry the handheld screening device in their vehicle and they can pull over someone who appears to be impaired and check them. If they are between .05 and .08 they can administer the roadside suspension.” He says they are not able however to pursue criminal charges without involving a police officer.
“If it is over .08 they can contact the RCMP or the police to come and deal with the criminal code infraction,” said Laville. “Once it is over .08 it is a criminal code thing.” In Alberta, a Community Peace Officer Level 1, often a person hired by a county to enforce bylaws, can be approved to enforce moving violations under the Traffic Safety Act and elements of the Gaming and Liquor Act. Some can have enhanced authorities that could include Criminal Code Authority granted for the offenses of theft not exceeding $5,000 and mischief not exceeding $5,000. They could also be able to enforce criminal code warrants and investigate and submit reports involving non-injury motor vehicle collisions. According to Laville, a Community Peace Officer will not be granted the ability to make a lawful breath demand. “Only Sheriffs will be able to use a screening device,” said Laville. According to the policy and procedure manual for the Public Security Peace Officer, impaired driving offenses should not be actively sought by a peace officer. If a peace officer encounters an individual they suspect is impaired, they are to immediately contact the police service of jurisdiction and request assistance. The peace officer may have the authority to arrest the person pending the arrival of the police under the criminal code, but the peace officer may not have the authority to utilize emergency equipment to attempt to stop a vehicle to conduct an arrest. If police are not able to attend, it is recommended a peace officer administer a 24-hour dis-
qualification. Laville said it would be some time before Alberta Sheriffs will be equipped with the screening device. “The next step with the bill having been passed is developing the regulations to support it. An implementation plan is being developed,” said Laville.

I was asked this week about starting seed geraniums. So here goes, I always have pretty good luck with germination as long as you get your seed from a reputable seed catalog. The seed can be expensive but you can get a variety of colours and different kinds that you may not find at the local growers greenhouse. The package will have the instructions on the back to tell you when to start the seed. Also make sure you are using a sterile soil and that it’s nice and light, not garden soil. To germinate the seed you need to have a warmer under the seed trays that is going to keep the seeds at a even temperature all the time. Don’t water them with cold or cool water - it should be lukewarm so the soil temperature doesn’t drop too much. Once you see them starting to pop up, water them with a fungicide to help keep them from damping off (rotting). If you are able to have a fan blowing to keep the air circulating around the plants, this helps to keep them healthy, and also strengthens the stems. When they are at the 3 or 4 leaf stage you can take them off the heat bed and transplant them into individual little pots, ideally something approximately 2- 3 inches square. Keep an eye on them and don’t over water; they can dry out a little bit, but not so much that they are wilting. Put them in the brightest sunshine you have or under grow lights, and keep the room at a comfortable warmth, but not too hot. The plan is to have them grow evenly and not get too stretched by the time you want to transplant them again, which could be
outside or into a 5 inch pot to have the plant to continue to grow to a healthy, proportion. If they get a little leggy before you want to transplant them, snip or pinch them back a little bit. This will only make the plant bush out a little more. It’s good to take off the blooms as well, as it takes a lot out of a plant to bloom. If you want it to grow roots and green growth keep the blooms snipped off. Usually by the end of May it’s safe to put them outside, and you would want a few blooms at that time. Remember to fertilize lightly on a regular basis and you will be rewarded with blooms all summer. Seed Geraniums usually don’t get as big the first year as a plant that you purchase that’s already in a 1 gallon pot, so if you are able to keep a few plants over for the winter, you can save the cost of seed and just take some cuttings when you see the new growth coming on the plants. When storing the plants don’t let them dry out completely; they need to be slightly damp. I would guess that by early March you could bring the plants back upstairs to the brightest light you have and at that time you should see new shoots coming off the plant, which you could snip off and plant into the 2 or 3 inch pots as cuttings. These will give you another plant that’s going to grow a little quicker and should give you a little bigger plant by the time you want to transplant them outside. The parent plants can also go back outside for another season and another season of giving you cuttings if so desired. Hopefully I haven’t missed something and you’ll have good luck.

Muir. “I’ve been struck by the depth and profundity of Antoine de Saint Exupery’s story. Working with this keen bunch of second-year RSA students has allowed all of us to rediscover pieces of our childhood. It’s been a great adventure and I hope many people will share it with us.” This famous tale tells the story of a young prince who travels the universe and discovers that what is truly essential can only be seen with the heart. This show is bound and determined to capture the imagination of anyone willing to remember what it was like to see the world

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!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have trouble connecting with family this week. You are very busy with personal issues and other obligations. It may seem frustrating, but keep your head up.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 This is the ideal week to stay inside as much as possible and read or get busy work taken care of. Although it may not be exciting, it doesn't require a lot of energy.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you have a generous spirit, but sometimes you can be just a little bit too generous. Don't go overboard this week when buying gifts for those close to you.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, this week you may have plans to spend some romantic evenings at home with your partner, but things don't always work out as expected. Schedule more time later.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you have always been very practical when it comes to matters of finance. Sometimes, however, the lure of shopping can try your resolve.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it may seem like the walls are closing in on you, but that's just because you need a change of scenery. Trade in dull responsibilities for something else.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are in a high point in your career, and you don't want to lose the momentum. But you could feel pulled in too many directions this week to impact the job.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you may find it difficult to concentrate. This is out of character for you, but everyone has an off-day. Sponsored by
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You have unusually low levels of energy this week, Leo. There isn't much you can do about it other than prioritize your tasks so you can accomplish the most pressing things.

Shayne Gwinner ranked 20th in WHL Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A Drumheller hockey player is turning heads at the major junior level, and has caught the eye of scouts. Shayne Gwinner, son of Elin and Randy, is playing in his ďŹ rst full season with the Moose Jaw Warriors in the WHL. The NHL recently released its preliminary fall ranking looking forward to the NHL draft in the spring. Gwinner is ranked in the top 20 among skaters in the WHL, and in the Top 100 prospects in North America when combined with the Ontario Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the United States Hockey League. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been a lot of hard
work, and it is ďŹ nally coming around,â&#x20AC;? Gwinner told inSide Drumheller. Gwinner, listed as six feet and 183 pounds, played his bantam career in Airdrie and was selected by the Warriors in the 2009 Bantam Draft, as 44th overall pick. He played midget for the Strathmore Bisons, and last year came up to the Warriors for three games, as well as the Drumheller Dragons for one. This season he has played 23 games and has one goal and four assists with 21 PIM. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a pretty solid team and everything is working smoothly, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re winning,â&#x20AC;? said Gwinner, adding he has been getting lots of ice time. This ranking was even
more impressive, especially because he was out for a few games this season with a wrist injury and a strained knee. His parents have come out for his Alberta games as well as made the trek to Moose Jaw and Regina to see him play. Gwinner is eligible to go into the 2012 NHL Draft this coming spring. There are still another couple of rankings to come out before then. His goal is to play professional hockey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how it goes, if the draft works out, for sure thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. Drumheller seems to be a hotbed for defensemen. In the WHL alone, Trevor Stahl, who was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes is playing for

the Victoria Royals, Jordan Evans has played ďŹ ve games with the Swift Current Broncos and Trent Ouellette is
playing in his second season with the Regina Pats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might be the water, who knows,â&#x20AC;? he laughs.

Dragons and DVSS girls rally for grad fundraiser The Drumheller Dragons challenged the DVSS senior girls volleyball team to a volleyball match on Wednesday, December 7, at the DVSS gymnasium. The Dragons prevailed, winning three of the five games. The match was held to raise money for the 2012 DVSS graduation. Admission sales raised $175 and so far this year, grad fundraising has exceeded half their target. Fundraising efforts will continue, and it is hoped that all the needed money will be raised in two to three months. inSide photo by Michael James
