Water boundary changes concern residents Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Drumheller Town Council is considering relaxing the geographical restrictions in a contract that binds Rocky View County from using water delivered through Aqua 7 to the whole county. At the February 3 Committee of the Whole meeting, the councillors had some of the concerns addressed by Administration. Mayor Terry Yemen said this is a good opportunity for the Town. “They are not asking for any more than they are already under contract for,” said Yemen. “This gives them an opportunity to start using what they already have a contract to use.” There are some in the community who sill have some concerns about the changes. Former Mayor Bryce Nimmo was serving when there was controversy about the Drumheller Water Treatment Plant supplying water to development in Balzac. At that time, Rocky View was asking for not only geographical restrictions to be

lifted, but also to increase supply. Council turned them down. Nimmo said Council shouldn’t be in a rush to grant the amendments to its contract. Because Rocky View is looking to secure its supply for use in the future, there is no immediate beneﬁt to Drumheller. He recalls the geographical restrictions were carefully considered to allow Drumheller to grow. He said shipping water to the East Balzac Treatment Plant would in fact be detrimental to Drumheller’s retail sector. It would allow Rocky View to attract more development, right on Drumheller’s doorstep. “The original idea of the agreement was to have the strength of water for this area to attract people to live and shop here, and develop the area,” said Nimmo. Yemen said the changes could be beneﬁcial to residents of Drumheller. “If we could sell more water, we could maintain, or even, god forbid, make the prices a little bit cheaper for the people of Drumheller,” said Yemen. There may be a discount of 10 cents

The drivers have spoken and this year there will be no WPCA Pro Dodge Tour event in Drumheller. The Richard Cosgrave Memorial Dinosaur Derby has enjoyed more than a decade of history and was always well attended. According to Kelly Carson, operations manager for the WPCA, there will not be an event in Drumheller.

“This was a driver decision at the annual general meeting,” said Carson. “They voted not to go back.” Carson said track issues were probably the number one issue drivers had. “They (the Ag Society) did a great job of ﬁxing it when we did go back, there was no question about that. It was going to be an ongoing issue because of the spring on turn two and that was their (the

Driver’s at the WPCA voted against coming to Drumheller for the annual Richard Cosgrave Memorial Dinosaur Derby. The Drumheller and District Stampede and Ag Society hosted 11 successful events, however the last two years after the event was moved from summer to spring, the show had to be postponed due to weather.

we make a commitment at this time to supply water outside our immediate trading area, we may be creating problems down the road for those who follow us,” said Sparling. Administration’s report to council said of water is used in the long term, there may be negligible decrease in costs due to economies of scale. Sparling feels there are not enough benefits too warrant making the changes. “If there was a slight advantage on the basis of rates, it wouldn’t be significant enough to warrant this. There is also potential issues of staffing. Will we need more staff? How many more will we need? The answer is there is not enough of an upside to take the next step,” said Sparling. Drumheller is poised for growth with the potential of the expansion of the Drumheller Institution as well as the possibility offered the Hope Health Venture of introducing a postsecondary Institution. Nimmo would like to see those employed by such initiatives to live in the area and shop locally.

per litre, or maybe not, but purifying water and processing wastewater isn’t getting any cheaper, so we have an opportunity here, if we can sell more water, we can help to defer some of our costs.” John Sparling served on council during the time the Balzac development was being explored and eventually turned down by Drumheller Town Council. He sees no diﬀerence in the proposition then as the one now. “When the council of that day reviewed those matters, we took the position that the original agreement was the water would be available for our immediate trading area. A geographical area was set out and there was full agreement from the members of the Kneehill Water Service Commission as to what that would be,” said Sparling. He said there should be consideration of the preserving water supplies. “There have been talks and concerns about the changing climate, issues of less snow fall in the Rockies and the potential of water supplies being tight.

drivers) decision,” said Carson. The Dinosaur Derby started with a bang, and was well supported by the community. A few years back there were changes in the tarp auction and it was no longer done on site with the drivers, but rather through a satellite auction. This took a toll on the event. “It is tough to ﬁnd tarp sponsors, that also weighed in to it. The amount of local sponsors was not many,” said Carson, adding that when they introduced the remote tarp auctions, most show’s tarp total went up. Another snag was when the race was moved from mid summer to early June, and for two seasons the races were postponed due to weather. “If we ran in the spring in Drumheller and we were cancelled two years in a row, the odds of it being cancelled again? Probably pretty good,” said Carson. He said it is not just the weather, but also the track’s ability to withstand the weather. “The main issue will always be the track and when we want to run. It was underwater this year when we went and obvi-

ously we couldn’t run on it,” said Carson. “We are trying to make sure we have all weather tracks. If you look at Medicine Hat, they put $400,000 into the track; you could run there in the winter. When it gets to that stage the show runs on time, the advertisers are happy and everyone’s happy.” Last year the Dinosaur Derby ran on the last possible date of the season, and the season champion was crowned. Carson said this was anticlimactic. “This year, if we are cancelled we’ll not go back. So if we were to run in June and were rained out, we would not go back. What happened last year is we arranged with Rocky Mountain House to have the World Finals there but in essence the World Finals were in Drumheller because we went there after Rocky Mountain House,” said Carson. Carson said no show this year doesn’t mean it is gone for good. “The board changes every year and that doesn’t mean that they won’t come back on track, it will always be out there, but that’s how it stands right now,” said Carson.

Town Hall move addresses needs of community Michael James | inSide Drumheller

The Town of Drumheller took some time on Wednesday, February 8, to present residents with a draft of the planned relocation of Town Hall. The move has been considered for some time and the Town has hired Group 2 Architecture to make a draft that transforms the Civic Centre into a functional and eﬃcient Town Hall. Kari Anne Gaume, associate with Group 2 Architecture, gave a presentation highlighting the need for a new Town Hall and the renovations for the Civic

spective, now is not the right time for the Town to invest in another expensive project that taxpayers would bear. Paul Salvatore, the Director of Community Services for the Town of Drumheller, addressed the concern. Thanks to a

space, and the offices of the Chief Administrative Officer and the Mayor. The meeting rooms were designed with accessibility in mind. The rooms were designed to be accessible at all hours so groups needing space to hold meetings would be able to utilize the rooms when needed. Sustainable strategies, such as energy efficient lighting, occupancy sensors, low flow fixtures, and recyclable materials were incorporated into the designs. A probable price tag of $2,075,000 was attached to the project; the price does not include the cost of furniture. Bill Herman raised a concern that, from a fiscal per-

grant for which the Town has already been approved, $1.5 million of the project is already paid for. The grant cannot be used to pay for any other existing project, for example paying the bills on the Badlands Community Facility. The remaining funds would either come from grants or by shifting capital budget priorities. Taxes would not be raised to pay for the move. Salvatore indicated the Town would save roughly $100,000 per year by not paying operating costs on the current Town Hall were they to move out. The suggestion being that the savings would essentially pay for the move in a few years.

Renovating the current Town Hall was deemed to be a far more expensive solution to the problem, and one that would still not ideally meet the Town’s needs. The cost for merely ﬁxing Town Hall's building code and safety issues was estimated by Gaume to be at least $1 million. Council has yet to make the decision on whether or not to go ahead with the relocation project. If approved, it would be roughly a year before the doors would be opened. “There would be a little bit more design development

and then what we call the production document phase. Depending if there were any changes, that would take three to ﬁve months,” said Gaume. Afterwards, with the building empty and weather not being a factor, Gaume estimated the renovation phase to take between six to eight months after a contractor was signed.

Centre. Some of the areas where the current Town Hall falls short include handicap accessibility and an isolating and inefficient layout. “Putting myself in the Town’s shoes I could really recognize the challenges faced in their existing space,” said Gaume. “That’s how we start, by understanding our users.” The Civic Centre renovations would drastically improve the situation. Gaume highlights flexible work space, collaborative areas, meeting spaces, and after hours use were some of the most important considerations when making the designs. The main floor of the Civic Centre, which currently houses the Drumheller Public Library, would hold the offices

for corporate and community services, file storage, meeting rooms, and the customer service counter where one could pay their water bill. The second floor would be completely redone and would have council chambers, open office

Yeah Baby! Voice of Calgary Flames attending Dragons banquet

The Dragons annual banquet on February 20 has a special guest attending this year. The voice of the Calgary Flames, Peter Maher, will be making an appearance and giving a few of his insights to those in attendance. Maher has been announcing for the Flames since they moved to Calgary in 1980 and has witnessed some of the most iconic moments in Flames history, including the series-winning blunder by Steve Smith in game 7 against the Edmonton Oilers. It was that goal when Maherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catch phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;yeah babyâ&#x20AC;? was coined. In 2006, Maher was in-

ducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a media honouree. In 2010, Maher was also the voice of Rogerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Olympic hockey broadcast. Maher will give a speech to everyone assembled following the annual award presentations to the Dragons. To attend the Dragons banquet and have a chance to meet Maher, call the Dragons oďŹ&#x192;ce at 403-823-2022.

The mystery of the misplaced gravemarker has yet to be solved, as Gleichen RCMP are still looking for the ďŹ nal resting place of Father Frank Crummy. The Drumheller Mail reported in its January 11 edition that Gleichen RCMP were requesting the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance in locating information on a grave marker found at a rural residence in Wheatland County. After about a month, they have still not located where the stone originated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made any progress because the grave stone is still here, and we still havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t found the right location of it,â&#x20AC;? said Constable Adam Dell of the Gleichen RCMP. The story garnered much interest and the detachment has received a number of tips on its origin, but none have provided any answers.

inSide Drumheller made enquiries with the church community on the hunch that the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fatherâ&#x20AC;? on the marker may have indicated a man of the cloth. However, the paper learned there were no priests in the Catholic or Anglican churches in Alberta that went by this name. Constable Dell said they

had a lead that pointed to Grande Prairie, from a relative of a Frank Crummy, with the same name and dates, however the tombstone in Grande Prairie is intact. If anyone has more information on the gravemarker, or where the gravestone belongs, contact the Gleichen RCMP at 403-734-3056.

Drumheller photographer Darryl Reid is gaining international exposure after having two of his photographs receive honourable mentions at one of the world’s largest photography contests. Two years ago Reid entered the Sony World Photography Awards and received an honourable mention for his photo called 'Carved in Sand'. This year two of his entries received the nod. “It is pretty encouraging I must admit, and a little overwhelming,” he said. This mention means his photos were in the top 40 of each category they were entered in. This is out of 52,000 entries in each category, according to Reid. He entered a photo called 'Inhabited Places'. It is an image of the hoodoos, and was entered in the low light category. “('Inhabited Places') is a dark night shot that has the hoodoo, the international space station, the far off stars and the Milky Way, and if you look you can see a far off galaxy,” said Reid. His photo called 'Moon Ridge' was entered in the category of wildlife and nature. It was taken through a telescope of the moon rising over Duncan Lake in B.C. “I was on one side of the lake and had my telescope set up ready to go and track the moon as it started rising. I just got three or four shots off as it did, that was just the most balanced one,” said Reid. Reid grew up looking to the sky and building telescopes. This is what introduced him to lenses and lighting. It wasn’t until a few years ago he began to really work on the craft of photography. Since then he has had work displayed locally and provincially. He maintains a website, and has also built a

home based gallery and studio. The photos will be pub-

lished in a book made for the event. An awards ceremony is being held this

year in England. One day he hopes to attend the awards gala. “It is my ultimate goal to win this thing. There are a lot of contests out there, but this is one I focus on because it is the biggest. If I can ring the bell, then I have accomplished my mission,” said Reid.

Two of Darryl Reid’s images have received honourable mentions at the Sony World Photography Awards. This means they were selected in the top 40 out of 52,000 entries in each category. photo submitted

Man takes own life in standoďŹ&#x20AC; near Three Hills submitted | inSide Drumheller

A standoďŹ&#x20AC; at a rural residence near Three Hills that lasted nearly 12 hours ended when police located a male deceased in a home, apparently the victim of a self inďŹ&#x201A;icted gunshot wound. Three Hills RCMP were dispatched at about 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, February 8 to a rural residence north of Three Hills near Hwy 21 and Twp Rd 324 to investigate a disturbance. Investigation revealed an adult male had assaulted the owner of the property and has done damage to property. The incident escalated to the point where the suspect barricaded himself in a residence on the property and would not cooperate with

police. It was believed this barricaded male was in the possession of ďŹ rearms and a threat to police. Three Hills RCMP secured the area around the property and also blocked oďŹ&#x20AC; highways in the area to keep the public safe. With assistance from the Calgary Police Service tactical team, RCMP support units and neighboring detachments all eďŹ&#x20AC;orts to make contact with the barricaded male ended with negative results. Entry was gained around 5 p.m. to the home by the Calgary Police Service tactical team and the male was located inside the home deceased, due to a a self inďŹ&#x201A;icted gun shot wound.

Dragons soar higher over Eagles in playoďŹ&#x20AC; race Michael James | inSide Drumheller

The Drumheller Dragons are tightening their grip on their playoďŹ&#x20AC; position. A point earned in an intense showdown with the Camrose Kodiaks on Tuesday, February 7, gives the Dragons more room over the rival Canmore Eagles and puts them closer to overtaking the Calgary Canucks in the standings. The Dragons and Kodiaks had faced one another on February 1 in Camrose. The Dragons were defeated 4-3 in overtime. The result in their most recent match was another heartbreaking overtime loss. Coda Engbar, with assistance from Simon Horlick, got the Dragons the lead at 13:13 into the ďŹ rst period. The Dragons held on to their one goal lead for most of the second period, but the Kodiaks managed to get the puck past

Braden Gamble to tie the game up. Darian Henry incurred a major penalty for ďŹ ghting at 19:49 into the second period. With a man down at the start of the third, the Dragons fought hard to work through the penalty kill. At 2:16 into the third, the Kodiaks got the upper hand and took a 2-1 lead. The Dragons redoubled their eďŹ&#x20AC;orts and held the Kodiaks within reach. With just under a minute left in the game, Ryan Bloom, with help from David Stener and Sam Lawson, tied the game 2-2. The Dragons and Kodiaks headed for another overtime showdown. Unfortunately, Kodiaks scored at 0:48 into overtime and handed the Dragons another overtime loss. The overtime loss gives the Dragons another point over the Eagles. The Dragons are now at 37 and the Eagles 33. The Drag-

ons are only two points behind the Canucks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were down by one and they answered,â&#x20AC;? said Barry WolďŹ&#x20AC;, head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That point for us is going to be huge down the stretch.â&#x20AC;? WolďŹ&#x20AC; also commented on how the Dragons have climbed the standings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always competed, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deďŹ nitely coming along as a team. Our goal was to get better every day and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing that,â&#x20AC;? said WolďŹ&#x20AC;. The prospect of playoďŹ&#x20AC;s hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t phased the Dragons. WolďŹ&#x20AC; assured the team is focused on the next game. The Dragons will be looking to increase the gap between them and the Eagles and overtake the Canucks this weekend. Tonight, at 7:30 p.m., in the Drumheller Memorial Arena the Dragons will be up against Olds Grizzlys and tomorrow night, the Okotoks Oilers.

Made in the U.S.A. by Billie Letts Lori Stefanishion Our book of choice this month was Made in the U.S.A. by Billie Letts. As with all inSide Drumheller of her books, the characters and circumstances are incredible and often border on absurd. This is one of the reasons I am drawn to her stories. A couple familiar works Book Columnist of hers are Where the Heart Is and The Honk and Holler Opening Soon. In this one, a motherless, 15-year old girl, Lutie, and her younger brother, Fate, drive across the U.S. in search of their father whose last known address was an apartment in Las Vegas. The two children live by their wits as they search for the father who abandoned them. This author has a way of pulling contrasting characters together and making them fit. Despite all circumstances seeming to be the makings of an amusing tale, this book is darker than your first impression. It is a story of family and doing whatever it takes to survive. Lutie is quite a lost soul who proves to be a very tough girl as she deals with situations that bring her closer and closer to rock bottom. Her brother, Fate, is a much more lovable character than his sister and quite the opposite in nature. He is very smart and witty and far more sensible than Lutie is. Fortunately for Lutie, her brother has a very forgiving disposition. As you turn the pages in this book, you find yourself saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh no! What next?â&#x20AC;?

The Dragons were looking to get some payback for the 4-3 overtime loss during the two teams' last meeting in Camrose. The Dragons tied things up with under a minute left in the third period and sent the game into overtime. The Kodiaks won in overtime, but the Dragons earned themselves a point. The Dragons have increased their cushion over the Canmore Eagles to four points. The Dragons will be looking for some wins this weekend to ensure a playoff spot.

Valentine's customs then and now Valentine's Day is a holiday during February that commemorates love and romance and also the patron Saint Valentine. The history of St. Valentine is shrouded somewhat in mystery, and there are beliefs that many diďŹ&#x20AC;erent people went by the name St. Valentine. One such individual was a holy priest who served in Rome, Italy. Some historians surmise that he was jailed for deďŹ ance during the reign of Claudius II, sentenced to death, and became a religious martyr. Pope Gelasius marked

February 14 as a celebration in honor of his martyrdom in 496 AD. Today, the Catholic church recognizes at least three diďŹ&#x20AC;erent martyred saints named Valentine or Valentius. So how did St. Valentine's Day transform from a religious holiday into one far more secular? During the third century in Rome, Claudius II decided that single men served better as soldiers if they were single and had no attachments at home in the way of a wife and family. Thusly, he outlawed marriage. St. Valentine didn't agree with the views and reportedly performed marriages for young lovers in secret. It is

Valentine's Day Trivia Valentine's Day comes but once a year. Test your knowledge of these interesting facts surrounding the day of love. Answers follow. 1. Cupid, the winged cherub who aims his arrows at would-be lovers, is the son of what Roman god? a. Jupiter b. Penelope c. Venus d. Zeus 2.Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day evolved from what ancient Roman festival? a. Lupercalia b. Festivus c. Bacchanalia d. Cupidis 3.In what Shakesperean play is Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day mentioned? a. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Romeo & Julietâ&#x20AC;? b. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anthony & Cleopatraâ&#x20AC;? c. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamletâ&#x20AC;? d. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macbethâ&#x20AC;?

this which may have propelled Valentine's Day to be more about love than religious obligation. Another legend says that Valentine himself authored the ďŹ rst Valentine card. It has been rumored he fell in love with a woman -- the jailer's daughter -- while in prison and sent her a letter. He signed it, "from your Valentine." No matter the origins of the holiday, today St. Valentine's Day has become a day where love is celebrated. Lovers send each other cards and tokens of their aďŹ&#x20AC;ections. It is customary to go out for dinner and send ďŹ&#x201A;owers. Chocolates and roses seem to go handin-hand with Valentine's Day events. Although certain customs have become commonplace, some customs of Valentine's Day have fallen by the wayside. One such custom is the "drawing of names" that took place in the 18th century. Names of men and women (equal numbers of each) were

Gone are the days where Valentine's Day notes were handwritten. Today we rely more on mass-produced greeting cards.

placed into two diďŹ&#x20AC;erent containers. A lottery of sorts took place where one man's name was drawn and matched with a woman's name. The people called were called "Valentines," and the pairing was considered a good omen of these couples marrying later on. Another lost custom was of a man wearing a paper heart with the person he loves name written on it. The heart was pinned to his sleeve, which gave way to the expression, "wearing one's heart on one's sleeve." A woman could do the same type of thing by wear-

ing a charm known as a lovebadge near her heart. Now we send out mass-produced Valentine's Day cards, original Valentine's were handmade and personalized letters. Within them individuals could write their exact sentiments to a loved one. On February 14, people nipped by the love bug partake in many customs to show their love. How will you show that special someone you care this year?

Answers: 1. c, Venus, the goddess of love. 2. a, Lupercalia. This is a fertility celebration that was commemorated annually on February 15. 3. c, Hamlet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To-morrow is Saint Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, All in the morning betime, And I a maid at your window, To be your Valentine.

Sealed with a (X) DID YOU KNOW? Approximately 110 million roses, mostly red, will be sold and delivered in three days surrounding Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. The reason red roses are so popular is because they were the favorite flowers of Juno, the Roman goddess of love. Many early Christian martyrs were named Valentine, which can make it confusing when trying to figure out just who is being honored on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. While there might be many martyrs named Valentine, the two honored on Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day are Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni. The former was a Roman priest who was martyred in roughly 269 AD, while the latter was bishop of what is now Terni who was martyred in 197 AD. It was not until the 14th century that any of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popular romantic elements began to take shape when celebrating Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. As a result of those new developments, the distinctions between Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni were gradually lost, eventually prompting the feast of St. Valentine on February 14 to be removed from the General Roman Calendar in 1969.

People often use the symbol "X" to represent a kiss at the end of a love note or card but don't understand how this letter came to be associated with the meaning of a kiss. It is believed the custom dates back to when the majority of the public was illiterate. The X or a "cross" was used as one would use their signature today, to mark a person's word to abide by a contract or agreement from a Christian perspec-

tive. The X was often then kissed as a further symbol of honesty. Eventually, the X itself came to represent a kiss and no longer just a signature. Why the letter "O" came to represent a hug is not as widely understood. Some say that it is because an O is a shape of hugging arms. Others say it is what Jewish immigrants would use as their own signature, similar to the X, so they were not mistaken for Christians.

RCMP frosty on not clearing windshields Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The RCMP are frosty to the idea of drivers not making sure they’ve cleared their windows before heading out onto Drumheller streets. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins wants to spread the message that not clearing your windows at best could lead to a fine, at the worst, it could pose a hazard that could lead to an accident. Hopkins tells inSide Drumheller the recent chilly mornings have led to heavy frost on cars, and in his short commute to work, he has noticed many drivers who do not take the time to simply scrape their windshields. “People got lazy because we had the warm weather, but now we have the frost; people simply have to scrape their windows,” said Hopkins. “With this weather, we have some icy patches on the road, and with this frost, the roads are a little slippery.” Drivers could be ticketed for driving with obscured vision. The ticket carries a penalty of $57. “There is no reason for it. It takes just a few seconds. I could understand if it was a matter of life and death and you cleared off what had to see to go to some place; then we may have to make exceptions to it, but I haven’t heard anything of life and death situations. I was amazed this morning - I saw a guy with half to two-thirds of his window scraped, and the passenger side wasn’t. He was able to look out at what was in front of him, but other than that, the rest wasn’t scraped.” Hopkins said the RCMP will be on the lookout for drivers whose vision is obscured.

In the early morning hours of February 8, Linda, a long time Drumheller resident passed away peacefully after a lengthy stay at the Drumheller Hospital. Linda was one of five children born to her Italian immigrant parents in Luscar, AB, before the family moved to Drumheller when she was a teenager. Upon entering the workforce Linda soon became a very recognizable face by valley residents as she started her career by working first at Toshachs Clothing Store and Style Shop, then working as a cashier for 20 years at Jimmys Supermarket followed by employment with Vickers Bros at the hardware and grocery stores. This was followed by working for the Drumheller Co-op in the furniture and grocery departments. Along with her pleasant smile and attitude she was also well known for having the fastest fingers in town when it came to punching a till and could add the numbers in her head almost as fast as the machine. In 1972 she was very humbled when the Drumheller Rotary Club honoured her with their Most Courteous Employee of the Year award. As a mother to Rose Marie, a grandmother to Melissa and great grandmother to Allie, along with being an aunt and great aunt many times over, she loved being surrounded by small children and especially enjoyed holding babies and talking to them. Along with her talent for cooking, Linda was well known for her hobby of “garage saleing” and then seeing what she could do with or make with the treasures she had found. Predeceased by her parents, her brothers Gino and Frankie, her sister Ange and her only daughter Rose Marie her remaining family and friends will gather at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Drumheller on Tuesday, February 14 at 11:00 a.m. for funeral services to mourn her passing, remember her life and celebrate her move to her new home in Heaven. 6c

The St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sabres headed to Rosemary with a short bench, but rose to the occasion against tough competition in tournament play. The Sabres went to Rosemary on Friday, February 3 for tournament play. The competition was delayed after a backboard was shattered in the gymnasium, and the tournament was moved to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Composite in Brooks. The Sabres went up against Rosemary in their ďŹ rst game. The teams met before this season with Rosemary coming away with a strong win. This time the Sabres held with the Rockets for some time, but as the game progressed the gap widened. Rosemary walked away with a 97-45 win. A positive for the team was that they did not fall prey to Rosemaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s press as they did in their ďŹ rst match-up this season. On Saturday morning, the Sabres met the BanďŹ&#x20AC;

Bears. This time the Sabres only had seven players, and the match wore on the depleted team. Again they matched up well, and were able to keep the Bears within sight, but eventually ran out of gas. BanďŹ&#x20AC; won 77-45. This put them up against Youngstown in their ďŹ nal match of the tournament, a team with strength and height. It was also an important game for the Sabres as the two may meet later this season at Zones. It was a slow start for both teams, but the Sabres began to pull away. They were leading by close to 20 points late in the second half, when Youngstown pulled to within six points. The Sabres were able to steal away Youngstownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s momentum and went on to win 56-44. Tanner Borowicz was awarded the MVP for the Sabres for the tournament. Jordan Comstock was awarded a medal in the free-throw contest where he led all participants with an 80 per cent average.
