The coﬀers of the Badlands Community Facility are slowly building with the help of two signiﬁcant donations coming through to the project this week. On Tuesday afternoon, Kneehill County Reeve Carol Calhoun travelled to Drumheller’s council chambers to present Mayor Terry Yemen with a $100,000 donation towards the multi-sport facility. “The facility will be an asset to the whole area,” said Calhoun, while adding that many Kneehill County residents, especially in the east, will be able to take advantage of the facility. “We have other partnerships with Drumheller, in the way of water services, and we are glad to help out a partner.” “I’m very happy to see cooperation from a local municipality,” said Yemen on Tuesday. On Monday, Mayor Yemen announced at the committee of the whole meeting $100,000 was moved to the facility project by the Special Areas Board, which provides municipal services and long-

term land resource management. “It’s really encouraging to see neighbouring communities supporting the facility, because we know it’ll have economic spin-oﬀ beneﬁts for not only Drumheller, but the surrounding area,” said councillor Jay Garbutt, who has also served on the Bad-

lands Community Facility Steering Committee for the last two years. “Seeing this level of commitment from member municipalities is exactly the encouraging step forward we’re after.” The ﬁrst phase of the Badlands Community Facility is slated to be up and running

RCMP Do-Rights downed by students at food bank fundraiser Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Tara Semchuk “I’ll be sad to see it go, but it makes sense.”

Youth and the law clashed on Thursday afternoon in the gymnasium of Drumheller Composite High School in a ﬂoor hockey fundraiser for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Members of the Drumheller RCMP detachment took on six students of the school in a 44 minute hockey game. Teams were tied with about a minute and a half left, however the students went on to win 16-13.

Corporal Black said they had lots of fun and are looking forward to more opprotunities of interacting with the students in the future. The “RCMP Do-Rights” consisted of officers Mike Black, Andrew Grainger, Jennifer Ruban, Jeremiah Jones, Mike Maxwell, Bryan Machuk, and team ringer Kelly Tompkins. “It’s different for the kids to be seeing them out of uniform,” said instructor Jeff Messom, who had his money on the young guys.

The RCMP members brought $100 to be donated to the food bank, and classes at the school each put $20 in to watch the game.

Two charged after evading peace oﬃcers Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Two involved in a pursuit with Wheatland County ofﬁcers, and then a manhunt by RCMP, made an appearance in provincial court last Friday, December 10. The Mail reported in its December 15 edition that on December 8, a 49-yearold man and a youth were arrested after they failed to stop for the enforcement oﬃcer. The Nissan they were driving became stuck

and the two ﬂed on foot. The RCMP were requested to assist and about four hours later the two were located hiding in an unoccupied farmhouse. In the car, police found a number of automotive batteries. Patrick Wells, 49, of Hanna has been charged with failing to stop for a peace oﬃcer, dangerous driving, breach of recognizance, break and enter to a residence and operating a mo-

tor vehicle without insurance. The 16-year-old youth, who cannot be identiﬁed under the Youth Criminal Justice Act is facing charges of break and enter to a residence and six counts of breaching a recognizance. Both appeared last Friday in a Drumheller provincial courtroom. Both remain in custody, and are scheduled for a show cause hearing this Friday, December 17.

Inmate sentenced to 90 days for assault, threats to oﬃcer Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

An inmate at the Drumheller Institution who is serving a life sentence for second degree murder received a 90 day global sentence for threatening and assaulting a corrections ofﬁcer. Michael Dueck appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, December 10 facing a charge of uttering threats and assaulting a peace oﬃcer, and a separate charge of uttering threats.

On August 3 of this year, Dueck was in the segregation unit at the Drumheller Institution when he used the intercom system to threaten an officer. He said he would jam a stick in the officer’s neck and kill him. He was still in segregation on August 27 when he began yelling and screaming and ran toward the cell door and said to an officer, “I’ll kill you, I’ll take your head off.” He then covered the window of the cell, which prompted officers to

enter the cell. Dueck then spit on the officer, constituting an assault. Dueck was sentenced to 60 days for the single count of uttering a threat, and 90 days for the second information of uttering threats and assaulting a peace officer. Because he is currently serving a life sentence, Judge Grieve was not able to make the sentence consecutive, however did say it could affect his release date when he comes up for parole.

Long time McDonald’s employee sentenced Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

A long-time Drumheller McDonald’s employee has received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to theft. Margaret Sieppert appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, December 10 for sentencing. She pleaded guilty to theft under $5,000 on a previous court date. Late in 2008, it was discovered that funds were taken from night deposits on two occasions. The total amount taken was

$1,933.88. Representation for Sieppert, John Sparling QC, told the court Sieppert has since made restitution for the total amount taken and has provided a note of apology. Sieppert, 58, is widowed and worked at the Drumheller McDonald’s for nine years. She acknowledged what she did was wrong, and it was a breach of trust. She directed an apology to owners and operators Ed and Brandi Mah, who were in court, saying it was stupid on her part, and hopes

they accept her apology. Judge Grieve, in handing down sentences, explained the sentence is not to just deter Sieppert, but to deter others, and the court treats crimes that are a breach of trust of an employer very seriously. Judge Grieve suspended passing of sentence for Sieppert for one year and bound her with a probation order, explaining that if there are any breaches of her conditions, she will return to court to face him directly.

Lost brothers fined for Wildlife Act violations Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Two brothers from the Strathmore area who purported to be lost on their way to their hunting grounds received heavy ﬁnes relating to violations of the Alberta Wildlife Act. Kerry Wayne Loeppky and Terry Douglas Loeppky both appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, December 10. They were each charged with hunting out of season, discharging a ﬁrearm from a vehicle and unauthorized hunting on occupied land.

On December 9 of last year, the two brothers were hunting white tail deer in the Hanna area. The season had closed on November 28. A landowner in the area heard shots ﬁred on his land near his cattle. He witnessed a gun being ﬁred from a truck, took the licence plate number and called Alberta Fish and Wildlife. Terry Loeppky pleaded guilty to hunting out of season. In submissions from his council, it was stated that Terry, 56, had

been hunting for 40 years without incident. The two were on their way to a zone where the season for white tail deer had been extended, but had been lost and ended up in land where the season had closed. He received a $1,000 fine and a one-year hunting licence suspension. Kerry Loeppky did not admit to shooting from the truck, but pleaded guilty being a party to a person who discharged a firearm from a vehicle. He received a $600 fine.

To date, the organization can boast of building 1,129 schools and 10,000 libraries. It also has published 441 books, and has distributed 8 million books. It has established more that 10,000 scholarships focused on giving girls an equal chance at an education, and in all, has beďŹ tted the lives of 4.1 million. Organizers felt it is a strong charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Often times short term aid is given for a disaster or to alleviate starvation. It was our belief that by assisting in the education system we could empower communities to be more self suďŹ&#x192;cient and stable in the long term, rather than dependent on outside resources,â&#x20AC;? said Glossop. The group also recognized the need in Sri Lanka. While education was highly regarded in the small island country, and it had achieved the highest literacy rate among Asian countries, its infrastructure was fragile at best.

The community in Sri Lanka, through its own labour, fundraising and supplies is supporting the other half of the cost to build the school. Glossop said this will help the country by not only building its infrastructure, but by facilitating better education to help the children, and the country, face a better future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sri Lanka, at times, has experienced diďŹ&#x192;culty with maintaining civil rights and education is one of the best ways to support civil society,â&#x20AC;? said Glossop. Some of the Drumheller appeal fundraising endeavours included a downtown garage sale, and a golf tournament, as well as some art donations. There were also a number of individuals coming forth and donating individually, learning about the project through word of mouth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are particularly appreciative of the support of Darryl and Darlene Danchek and TD Waterhouse, Irv and Corrine Gerling, Jordan and Andrew Harper and Jens Madsen of Evergreen Implements,â&#x20AC;? said Glossop. Glossop is proud of the efforts of residents, and looking at other projects including the Morgan Jayne Project. He said Drumheller has a more global focus than ever before.

thought Food for

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Food Columnist I always love a recipe with a good story behind it. This is one I found that comes from a lady in Florida. She discovered a card in a box of memorabilia following the passing of her Finnish grandmother. After having it translated, it turned out to be a recipe! The blend of ingredients reminds me of the flavor you have when dipping cauliflower in a cheese fondu. Since fondu is a tradition of many people at Christmas and New Year’s, I thought this would be a fitting choice at this time. It would be a nice side dish to have with a Christmas meal.

Cauliflower Casserole 2 cups cubed day old rye bread 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets 2 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp. caraway seeds 3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese 4 eggs, beaten 1 cup flat beer (or non-alcoholic) 1 tsp. ground mustard 1/2 tsp. ground coriander 1/4 tsp. pepper Place bread on a cookie sheet and bake at 300 for 15-20 minutes until crisp. Saute the cauliflower in butter but the caraway seeds until tender. Remove from heat and stir in bread and cheese. Transfer to a greased 11x7 inch baking dish. Whisk remaining ingredients and pour over the bread mixture.

Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Another recipe that goes nicely with the flavors of this season is lemon curd. I have mentioned before that my dad taught me there is nothing better than lemon pie, but lemon curd was right up there on that list as well!

Lemon Curd 1/2 cup butter 3/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice 3 Tbsp. lemon zest 6 large egg yolks Melt the butter in a heavy pan. Remove from heat and whisk in the sugar, lemon juice and zest. Whisk yolks in until smooth. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 5 minutes). Don’t boil the mixture. Immediately press through a fine sieve using a rubber spatula. Cool to room temperature whisking occasionally. Refrigerate, covered until ready to use. This will keep for a month in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer. You might like to try it on muffins, scones, toast or pound cake. Imagine this spread over some warm gingerbread on Christmas morning ...

"I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the arena," says Jim Fisher, who was general manager of the team during their Allan Cup run.

The wet and sloppy conditions caused construction delays across the board this summer, but work has picked up on the Wintering Hills wind power project near Dalum. Set to have turbines erected this coming spring, the wind farm– 4 kilometres southeast of Dalum, has taken advantage of the ideal weather conditions for construction over the past month. Suncor Energy is mostly responsible for the project, their biggest wind project to date with 55 turbines, at 88 megawatts total. The farm is expected to produce enough clean energy to power 35,000 Alberta homes at peak operation. In September, Suncor entered into a partnership with Teck Resources Ltd., Suncor owns 70 per cent while Teck owns the remaining 30 per

The numbers are in, and Prairie Land Regional School Division (PLRD) has lost approximately 72 students since last year. This adds up to a loss of $435,000 in funding compared to last year for the already cash strapped school division. Duane Roy was re-elected as chairperson by members of the newly elected PLRD board of trustees. He said a number of factors have Aﬀected the division’s numbers. “A lot of it's high numbered graduating classes leaving and smaller Grade 1 and Kindergarten classes coming in,” he said. "Anytime families move out of the territory, that is a direct loss and we had that happen.” He adds the slowdown in the economy also spurs families moving away from the area, and that impacts the numbers. “We hope the trend is going to level oﬀ, if not improve. There is going to be a point in the next few years that our graduating class going out is going to be the same as our

classes coming in, so we hope that we will maintain where we are at,” he said. The loss is more dramatic than the board’s projections made in March of 2010, and represents 38 more students leaving than anticipated. “The board’s reduction in staffing that took place last spring was a necessary step in ensuring that board reserves, which will be used to offset a now larger operating deficit, are used responsibly,” stated in the PLRD’s board meeting highlights. Roy said the board is still working to find efficiencies. “Our year end was August 1. Continued on A3 … see PLRD

Rosebud Centre of the Arts elects Colin Jackson as chair submitted | inSide Drumheller The Board of Directors of The Rosebud Centre of the Arts is pleased to announce that Colin Jackson has been elected Chair of the Board succeeding outgoing Chair Jason Knibb. “We are very pleased that Colin has agreed to Chair the Board at this critical time in our growth,” says Knibb. “Colin has a broad base of arts experiences as a theatre director, producer and teacher. He has a tremendous passion for the arts and an insatiable desire to see us succeed as leaders in the arts community in Alberta and western Canada.”

“Rosebud Centre of the Arts (RCA) is one of Alberta’s ﬁnest arts assets,” says Jackson. “With a strong faith underpinning it is a creative hub at the crossroads of Alberta rural and urban cultures. It is a centre of pleasure in the arts, pride in Alberta and economic activity in the Alberta Badlands. The RCA is composed of one of Alberta’s largest theatre companies, a school for the arts which attracts students from across North America as well as Europe and Africa, and hospitality services for theatre patrons, meetings and celebrations. “It is a privilege to lead the remarkable Board in service to our actors, teachers and students. The staﬀ leadership, Executive Director Bob Davis, Artistic Director Morris Ertman, Director of Education Maki Van Dyke and Hospitality Director Pat Murphy are top notch. With the opening of the new Mercantile building in the spring of 2011, Rosebud Centre for the Arts will be even stronger as an example of the cultural vibrancy of rural Alberta and of Alberta as a leader in the arts in Canada.” Following a 44-year career in the arts and broadcasting industries, Colin Jackson retired as President of Calgary’s Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts in 2009. In addition to serving as Chair of Rosebud Centre of the Arts, Jackson is active in a range of philanthropic endeavorers including service to the arts community, arts education and to the relief of poverty in Africa.

They moved to a bigger location in August of 2009, with a salon being added in April of this year. Staff incude massage therapist Loretta Wilson, esthetician and nail tech Teri Faulter, reflexologist Diana Watson, massage therapist Heather Boyd, and hair stylists Kayley Goodine and Carena Heer.
