boasts year of HIV free infants Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Doubtful thoughts hung with the Morgan Jayne Project’s Fred Makowecki just a few weeks ago as the project was struggling to send their annual Christmas package to Familias Saludables in Roatan. Those thoughts were shattered last week, as three quarters of a ton of presents – blankets, medical supplies, and infant formula - was gathered up by the Drumheller community and shipped o to the clinic, which specializes in treating babies born to HIV positive mothers in the island province outside Honduras.

“There’s enough money down there to make sure everyone has Christmas,� says Makowecki, “I’m pretty happy.� A main holiday party will be held at the Familias Saludables clinic, with other smaller ones throughout the island for those who cannot travel across the 40 kilometre island. The successful round up of funds and gifts wasn’t the only thing tickling those involved with the project – on Monday evening it was announced by Valerie Nelson, Director of Familias Saludables, that for the last year there was no vertical mother-to-child transmissions of HIV. This means that of all

the pregnant women who entered their program, not one of their infants were born positive. They have gone from a 49 per cent transmission rate nine years ago to 3 per cent for the past few years to zero this year. They have met the World AIDS Council’s Goal of Zero in pediatric transmission. “We wish to thank the Morgan Jayne Project for being the primary supporter of this project,â€? said Nelson’s e-mail from the clinic in Roatan. “To all of you who have helped the babies in Roatan – pu your chest out, this has been possible because of you,â€? said Makowecki. “We have

made more than a ripple in the world, we have created a tidal wave of good.â€? “Drumheller has made it what it is,â€? said Makowecki. “It is a ďŹ tting tribute to my daughter, she would have been proud of her neighbours and her friends.â€? With the closure of their Christmas in Roatan campaign, the Morgan Jayne Project is moving onto their soy candle eorts. Sales from the candles go towards buying and shipping infant formula for the clinic. Those looking to order candles can contact Shelly Rymel at 403-823-8664.

The Morgan Jayne Project shipped three quarters of a ton of Christmas presents, blankets, and supplies to the Familias Saludables clinic in Roatan, which treats infants born to HIV positive mothers. It

was announced Monday that in the last 12 months, zero babies were born positive at the clinic on the island near Honduras. Pictured is Morgan Jayne Project founder Fred Makowecki at the clinic last year. photo submitted

The manly staches didn’t live long past their shelflife, “I shaved mine as soon as I got out of bed this morning,â€? said Spivak on December 1. “Some of the others had ‘mo’ commitments, but theirs will be gone soon too.â€? Spivak adds that it’s not just about raising money for prostate cancer research, it allows the guys to bond over the course of the month with friendly competition and sharing tips and tricks for getting that

perfect handlebar or Fu Manchu shape. Tim Smith won the best moustache as judged by colleagues, and received a $50 prize to be donated along with his existing pledges. The idea for Movember formed in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia and soon went global as a humourous and handsome way to promote and fund prostate cancer research. Canada has become the second biggest Movember country behind Australia, in 2009, 35,156 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas raised $7.8 million for Prostate Cancer Canada.

$ISJTUNBT JO UIF 7BMMFZ Santa’s Christmas Dinner changes venue to Yavis' Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

A Christmas tradition of reaching out to neighbours to enjoy the season continues this year at a new venue. The annual Santa’s Christmas Dinner, for almost 30 years, has been a chance for the community to celebrate together with a big turkey dinner with all the fixings, entertainment and great conversation. The dinner started in about 1983 simply because there were no restaurants open

on Christmas Day. This gave a place for those who, for whatever reason, were alone at Christmas a place to enjoy dinner in the company of others. It may be for those who live far away from family, empty nesters, those widowed, or those who just don’t want the fuss of making a big meal. “The key to the event is everyone is welcome to come and celebrate Christmas,” said Bob Sheddy, one of the organizers. Since then it has grown and

for some individuals and even entire families, they never miss a chance to come out for the dinner on Christmas Day afternoon. The dinner is from about noon to 3 p.m. and organizers have thought of everything, including a shuttle service to bring those without transportation to the dinner. They will even drop off takeout packages if the weather is poor. Those wanting to get on a list for pick up can call Sheddy at 403-823-2222 before the event, or 403-823-8317 on the day of the event. This year the venue has changed, and Yavis’s family Restaurant will be hosting the event. Organizers are appreciative of Mike Yavis for allowing the tradition to continue at the restaurant and to Canalta, which last year allowed the dinner to be hosted at O’Shea’s. The event runs on volun-

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

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

Glenn Grey, left, and Leslie Nielsen were good friends dating back to their teenage years in Edmonton. Nielsen died this week at the age of 84.

Famous actor 'just Leslie’ to local man Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

While the world this week mourned for a screen legend that brought laughs to millions, a Drumheller man remembered a friend. Canadian-born actor Leslie Nielsen, who starred in such classic comedies as Airplane! and the Naked Gun series, died due to complications of pneumonia at the age of 84. He had appeared in more than 100 films and 1,500 television programs in a career that spanned six decades. While he was revered by many around the world, to Glenn Grey he was just Leslie. The two have known each other for years, and chummed together as teenagers on the south side of Edmonton. In fact they joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at the same time, right around their 17th birthdays. This is where the two sort of split. Grey trained as a pilot and Nielsen trained as aerial gunner. While the two drifted away from each other and began their careers, they remained in contact. Leslie went on to be a disc jockey in Calgary before heading to Toronto and then New York. Despite the distance, the friends would get together as often as they could. “He was just a regular guy, he wasn’t a movie star when he visited,” said Grey. He said the comedic persona of Nielsen most recognized on screen wasn’t what

he was like on a personal level. “He was a good guy, you wouldn’t think he was a comedian, he wasn’t running around cracking jokes,” said Grey. He also adds, laughing, that Leslie was a ladies man. He was married four times, but the last time Grey and Nielsen got together, about two or three years ago, he was with wife Barbaree Earl Nielsen, a woman he described as the “love of his life.” Grey followed Nielsen’s career from afar, and said Nielsen worked hard to get where he was. He worked menial jobs before getting his big break. Interestingly enough, Grey has never seen his high school chum on the silver screen. Grey said he simply doesn’t go to movies. Later in Nielsen’s career, he had a job doing commercials for a Canadian bank, and this brought him north of the border to visit more often. On one of these visits Nielsen invited Grey and his wife Betty to Nielsen’s oneman show in Calgary. This was the first time Grey saw Nielsen perform, and he said he was quite impressed. So while movie fans remember Nielsen as Detective Frank Drebin, Dr. Barry Rumack from Airplane!, or even Captain Harrison in The Poseidon Adventure, Grey remembers him as just Leslie.

Dreaming of a white Christmas? Consider a 'green' one instead Christmas is a holiday full of joy and celebration. It can also be a time of consumption and stress on the environment. However, holiday shoppers and celebrants can easily reduce their carbon footprint this holiday season. Scaling back gifts, food consumption and travel can be effective ways to go green this holiday season. • Buy fewer gifts. Christmas gifts show others how much they are cared about. Some gifts are given out of necessity. Others are more of a sentimental statement. It's easy to express how much you care without overdoing it. Set a limit on the number of gifts each recipient gets. • Organize a "Secret Santa." An easy way to cut down on gifts purchased is to organize a Secret Santa or holiday grab bag. This means that each participating person only has to purchase one gift. • Be smart about wrapping. Chances are there are plenty of items around the house that can be recycled into gift wrapping for presents. Foil, newspaper, comics, magazines, and even brown mailing paper are all good ideas. • It's okay to make gifts. Handmade gifts are thoughtful and can be cherished for years. Individuals who know how to knit or crochet can handcraft scarves or hats. Make a photo album with scrapbooking supplies. Individuals who are handy in the kitchen may want to give baked goods. • Choose battery-free gifts. Discarded batteries are a plague on the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, about 40 percent of all battery sales occur during the holiday season. If batteries can't be avoided, choose ones that can be recharged. • Use LED holiday lights. Keeping lights on for hours on end certainly uses a lot of electricity. Limit the drain on energy by selecting lights that have the least impact. LEDs use less power and last longer than traditional bulbs. When possible, consider the use of solar-powered holiday lights. Plus, don't leave the lights on when no one is home or the household has gone to sleep. • Decorate a live tree. Christmas tree farms are in the business of regularly planting and harvesting evergreen trees. That makes live trees a renewable resource instead of plastic trees made from petroleum. What's more, after the season Christmas trees can be turned into mulch. • Send recycled cards or e-cards. Don't send so many cards and choose materials around the house that can be turned into Christmas cards for those that you do send. Also, recycle last year's cards into tags for gifts. • Recycle leftover materials. Chances are large gifts will have enough wrapping paper remaining to wrap other gifts next year. Avoid metallic paper, which is more difficult to recycle. Be sure to break down all cardboard and paper so that it can be put out for recycling.

Do your part to keep our highways safe this winter and make it easier for maintenance crews to clear away snow and ice as quickly and eďŹƒciently as possible. Plan ahead and drive according to the conditions. • Winterize your vehicles. This should include an examination of the spare tire, battery, belts, hoses, anti-freeze, tires, brakes, heater, defroster and windshield wipers. • Carry an emergency road kit in your vehicle’s trunk or cargo space. • Clear all snow and ice completely o windows, side view mirrors, headlights, taillights and licence plates. • Try to keep your vehicle’s fuel tank more than half full. The extra volume can help reduce moisture problems in your fuel system

and it adds extra weight to your vehicle. A topped-up gas tank will also be an asset if you become stranded. • Slow down when conditions aren’t ideal. The posted speed limit is intended for ideal road conditions. Even if road signs say you may drive 110 km/h, that doesn’t mean you should if the road is icy or snow-covered. • Unless travel is absolutely necessary, stay o the roads during major storms. • Stay back from snowplows. They will let you pass every ďŹ ve to eight kilometres or when it is safe to do so. • Keep your headlights on all the time - don’t rely on daytime running lights. Low beams are more eective than high beams in fog or heavy snow conditions. • Never use cruise control in win-

ter conditions. • When travelling on snowy roads, try driving outside of the previous tire tracks to give you some extra traction. This also helps when there are shiny ruts in the road. • Signal well in advance of turning to give other motorists time to anticipate and react to your actions. Check your rearview and side mirrors, and always shoulder check before changing lanes. • Avoid sudden moves by anticipating turns or lane changes. Abrupt changes in direction or slamming on the brakes could cause you to spin out of control. • On a wet or slick surface, allow yourself at least three times the normal following distance to stop. • Know your braking system and how it reacts on ice. Always be gentle with braking pressure on slick roads. • Avoid braking on curves by driving through them at a safe, steady speed. • Gear down for both uphill climbs and downhill grades. This can help you avoid brake wear and chances of sliding. But be careful of abrupt downshifting as it can upset a vehicle’s balance and cause a skid to occur, particularly when turning.

Hockey parents encouraged to take Respect in Sport program Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Respect is a big part of sports, on the court, on the ďŹ eld and on the ice. It is just as important in the stands, and that is why Drumheller Minor Hockey is participating in the Respect in Sport Program. Respect in Sport is a program designed for parents of active children. It is a simple, online certiďŹ cation program that is meant to reinforce a parent’s role in their children’s activity. “We see it as a very important program and we are trying to encourage our parents to take it in a positive manner,â€? said Drumheller Minor Hockey president Linda Lacher. “We want them to take it on their own, that way they will get more out of it. If we feel we have a problem parent, they may be strongly encouraged to take it.â€?

She adds, they are offering some incentives for parents to sign on, including an entry into a draw for Flames tickets. According to Hockey Alberta, the program empowers parents to ensure the safety of their children, encourages positive and effective communication and enhances the child’s fun and camaraderie of the activity. It says the number one reason cited for coaches, managers and oďŹƒcials of all ages leaving a sport is unacceptable parental behaviour. There is a small fee to take the course, and it takes parents about an hour to complete. In Drumheller, the course is not mandatory as it is in While the minor hockey action is heating up on the stands. They are recommending that hockey parCalgary, and other jurisdic- ice, The Drumheller Minor Hockey Association is ents take the Respect in Sport Program. tions.

Sabres win basketball home opener Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The St. Anthony’s Sabres senior boys basketball team overwhelmed an outgunned Airdrie Koinonia Christian School team at the Sabres’ home opener. While the Sabres were admitted into the Golden Hills League for this season, they hosted an exhibition game versus the Airdrie team Wednesday night. The Sabres held their opponent to just 19, while scoring 81 for the victory. While it was a lop-sided win, head coach Gavin Makse said it was a team effort, and in fact, every player on the Sabres’ roster saw court time and scored some points. Brandon Gruber and Alex Cliche led the way with 29 and 16 respectively. Cliche led the team in rebounds and Josh Mohan led the squad in assists. Coach Makse was happy the team met its goal defensively and held its opponent to under 10 per half. The team was able to stay out of foul trouble. The road is only going to get tougher for the team here on in. The Sabres are o to the Christ the Redeemer Divisional Tournament in Brooks this weekend. Teams playing include St. Joseph’s Collegiate from Brooks which won the 2A provincial silver medal, and Notre Dame Collegiate

Dragons break streak with win over Calgary Tuesday “We won’t start organizing a parade just yet,” said head coach Dan Price, “but we had a good game.” Controlling the play and taking the majority of scoring chances led to the team’s first win since November 11 on Tuesday night against the Calgary Canucks, 5-1. Taking an early lead, just three minutes in with a goal by sniper Robert Geddes,

the Dragons did not relent after Calgary’s only answer halfway through the first period. “There were ten minutes in the second period where the Canucks really pushed back, and we needed to get through that. Once we did, we really carried the play into the rest of the second and third period.” Although it may have seemed like a long losing streak to fans, Price says it

didn’t feel that way in the dressing room. “I know we weren’t winning every game, but we were getting points and playing well,” he says. “It didn’t get to the point where the guys felt down, it was just waiting for the tides to turn.” “We’ll empty the tanks and give it everything we have until Christmas.” Dragon defenseman Justin Tateson garnered the away star at Tuesday’s game, getting two goals and two assists. “Tateson controlled his gaps well, was very physical, played with an edge while playing smart. It’s great to see a player doing it the right way to be rewarded offensively.” The 5-1 win wasn’t lopsided – the Canucks barely undershot the Dragons, 3335, with Drumheller goalie Cole Cheveldave saving 32. “Chevel was right there and made big saves, keeping it clean and tidy without letting out many rebounds. He’s so competitive and very dynamic – people love getting behind him.” Sean Sanford managed a Gordie Howe hat trick– a good fight early, a goal, and then an assist later on. “It was excellent,” said Price. The 6’9” and a quarter inch Sanford has been garnering much media attention because of his height and skill recently, following an article in the Globe and Mail a couple weeks ago. CTV News Calgary was shooting a piece on Sanford on Tuesday, to be aired on Friday evening. If Sanford makes it into the National Hockey
