With the public showing of the Tourism Master Plan draft last Tuesday night, valley tourism operators got a glimpse of the near finished guide to developing a unified tourism approach for Drumheller. About 35 people attended the open session at the Ramada to see the draft overview made by firm Malone Given Parsons. The actual Tourism Master Plan is hundreds of pages long. “We have a real good guide to get us into the future now,” says Mike Todor, a downtown business owner and member of the committee. “I think we’re sitting at a time where we have lots of opportunity, more than other towns our size. We now have a guide on how to take advantage of our situation.” “The nice thing was they gave us suggestions on how to make it happen,” says the town’s economic development officer Ray Telford. He says after the plan is finalized in a month, a ‘destination marketing organization’ will most likely be formed. This organization, with members from tourist attractions, the town, and the chamber of commerce, will use the plan to advance marketing of Drumheller to ultimately expand and develop tourism in the valley. “The real professionals in tourism are the ones who

Editor inSide Drumheller Dear Editor,
Tenlee Jensen “Ms. Mason, she has a great sense of humour, friendly, and a nice positive attitude.”
I’ve never really given the words “work to rule” much thought before, but last week I did. I think I witnessed a good example of what it is and how it is implemented.
Kent Stewart of Malone Given Parsons presented the Tourism Master Plan draft at a public session at the Ramada on Tuesday, February 8. The plan will be finalized by next month, and the establish-

operate businesses. They’ll be the ones who have to make it work,” says Telford. “Because it’s their businesses, and the more successful they are, the more successful the entire town is.” After the master plan is finalized, more input will be sought from tourism stakeholders to find the best way to form the destination marketing organization. “We’re on the road to a lot of places, and the future should be pretty bright from here,” Todor said. The plan outlined managing priorities: strengthen the leadership role of the
tourism industry; use research to build insight, track performance, guide decisions, and inform prospective investors; continually invest in upgrades to the quality of the tourism infrastructure; grow the business and experiences that create a reason to visit Drumheller; develop regional tourism nodes and corridors that connect them; reinvigorate the downtown core as a distinctive destination and hub by creating a Town Centre District that celebrates Drumheller; competitively and corroboratively market
the town and the valley experience to grow visitation and tourism expenditures; and ensure municipal policies support a strong, selfreliant, profitable, and innovative tourism industry. “It is critical that the community as a whole recognize the importance of tourism to the town as an employer, revenue generator and a contributor to the quality of life and is unconditionally committed to the continued development of the town as a primary tourist destination,” Malone Given Parsons said in the report.
This is the interpretation of “work to rule” that I got. Two gentlemen standing by their vehicles on a corner with their arms crossed against their chests watching the traffic go by in a busy intersection and a woman foolishly trying to keep up with Mother Nature for the sake of the people that use the public sidewalk surrounding her property. When the gentlemen were finished observing, they got in their vehicles and drove away, past me. I looked up from shoveling and the one driving the blue vehicle gave me a tri-
umphant smirk and the one driving the white vehicle gave me a nasty scowl. Because of these gentlemen’s actions, this is what I consider “work to rule” means: no pride in workmanship, no development of common sense, no consideration for anyone or anything in or surrounding the workplace, no extra effort need be applied to satisfy the customers because the employer is satisfied with the job done, no more no less, no respect or consideration for the general public and a visible resentment for bringing a problem
that doesn’t concern them to their attention. If I am misunderstanding the meaning of “work to rule” and gravely misinterpreting the whole situation, perhaps these gentlemen can set me straight and clear up a difficult, confusing and frustrating situation. I would respect and appreciate your help, as I have others, when warranted. I admit that I have shot the messenger, as you may well be aware of, hence the scowl.

DrumHealthier movement continues despite possible Village on a Diet cancellation Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Even though the continuation of the CBC Series Village on a Diet is not set in stone, it won’t stop DrumHealthier. Paul Salvatore has been speaking with the production company, Force Four Entertainment, which produces the show, and has learned that Village on a Diet season two was not on a list of shows CBC has renewed for the
upcoming television season. Salvatore said it is too early to write off the second season. “The production company informs me this is an early decision and it is still very possible it will be renewed for a second season, but it will probably be a few weeks until they would know with any certainty at all,” said Salvatore. Laurie Case of Force Four Entertainment said CBC has not
decided on the fate of the show on its network. “The official story is that CBC hasn’t made a decision about Village on a Diet yet. There is still a very real possibility it will come back for season two, but they haven’t confirmed yet,” she said. “CBC has been clear with the producers that it still may come back. We will know in the next couple of weeks.” Salvatore said despite this, the
campaign to make Drumheller a healthier place continues to grow and work towards its goal. Its Facebook page is approaching 1,200 members, and it has completed its sixth fitness challenge, where 65 headed to the ski hill in Drumheller and went tobogganing last Saturday. Other challenges have included walking in the arena and yoga. This Monday night they will be heading to the bowling alley. “It has been great to see the
number of people getting involved, we want to continue the DrumHealthier movement” said Salvatore. “It is great that people continue to look at ways to improve their lifestyle, and we are going to continue with all the activities and challenges.” He has posted a link on the group’s Facebook page to a petition to renew the second season of the show, where people can help send a message to CBC to keep the show.

Volleyball Dynos look to tame Dragons at game fundraiser Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
It appears vandals may have struck again at the famous Little Church. A window on the north side of the building was smashed and one on the south side is cracked. A dusty footprint on the cracked window is still visible. Shari Christensen of the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce said they became aware of the damage on Friday, February 11, and have contracted Active Glass to cut a replacement window. She said they have to deal with vandalism a couple of times every season; typically, it is writing or burn marks in the interior. “There can’t be a good place in heaven when you are smashing windows in a church,” she said. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

The 71st Annual Drumheller and District Music Festival begins next month, and so far, the strong number of entries into this year’s competition encourages organizers. Practice makes perfect, and hundreds of students from the valley and beyond are busy practicing their disciplines, and teachers have been putting in countless hours to perfect performances for this year’s events. The organizers have also been busy garnering support, scheduling and lining up adjudicators and volunteers alike. The festival begins on March 7 and concludes with the final concert on March 18. Performances during the festival will be at various venues throughout the valley. Piano will be featured at the Civic Centre on March 7 and 8, band and instrumental categories will be at St. Anthony’s, choir performances will be at the Church of the Nazarene on March 11, dance will be at Greentree School on March 12, musical theatre will be at the Royal Tyrrell Museum on March 13, vocal performances will be at the Baptist Church March 14-18 and speech will be at the Church of the Nazarene on March 17. Volunteers are always welcome during the festival to help organize and staff venues, but also throughout the year. To learn more about volunteering, contact Jane Dupuis at 403-823-5231.

The senior high girls Dynos will look to beat the Dragons off the ice and on the court next Wednesday when they’ll host a grad fundraiser seeing 12 Dragons pitted against the six Dynos. “It’s different than anything else grads have put on, I don’t think anyone has ever thought of doing a volleyball fundraiser against a hockey team,” said the event’s organizer Nikki Broom. Admission is $3 to the Wednesday, February 23 game at 6:00 p.m. at Drumheller Valley Secondary School, and Broom believes the Dynos are strong contenders as the
Dragons’ hockey skills won’t translate well to the court. “The grad fundraising has been going well this year, we’re around $6,000 to $7,000 but we’re aiming for $9,000 to $10,000,” she said about the 2011 grad funds.

Edwards receives global sentence of nine months Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A man living in Drumheller was sentenced to nine months in custody for a number of charges, some which stem from a raid on his home where police discovered a small amount of marijuana. Andrew Edwards appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, February 11 via closed circuit television. He pleaded guilty to charges stemming from two separate incidents. The first incident came on November 20, 2010 arising from a dispute Edwards was having with a subten-
ant in the same house as Edwards. The police were called and found Edwards in an advanced state of intoxication, in breach of probation conditions to which he was bound. When taken to the RCMP detachment, he uttered a threat towards his subtenant. He pleaded guilty to uttering a threat and being in breach of his probation by not abstaining from alcohol and not keeping the peace. On January 26 RCMP, after completing surveillance of Edwards’ home, executed a search warrant. Police discovered 4.5 grams of marijuana, and again found him in breach
of conditions set out by the court, including being intoxicated with alcohol, having visitors in his home after his curfew and being in contact with a person named in his undertaking that he was not allowed to see. The court heard of the many struggles Edwards, 30, has had in his life. He has an IQ of just 62 and spent many years as a youth in guardianship and in foster homes. At the age of 15, he began to experiment with drugs and alcohol and today is addicted to marijuana. His family relocated Edwards to Drumheller in hopes he could find a new peer group, but because of his diminished
capacity he is easily led by those wanting to take advantage. Edwards’ father spoke to the court and said it was probably in his son’s best interest not to continue to live in Drumheller, and he will be looking for a new start. Judge P.M. McIlhargey sentenced Edwards to four and half months for the charges stemming from November 2010, and four and half months for the charges stemming from the January 26 arrest. Given credit for the time Edwards has served awaiting his day in court, he has eight months and 13 days remaining to serve.

The Dragons continue to fight up the southern division standings with a win Tuesday night against the Canmore Eagles, and with the 4-1 win they trail two points behind the fifth standing spot. Tuesday’s win put the Dragons four points ahead of Canmore, who trail Drumheller one spot behind in sixth. With only two matches left in the regular season, Drumheller is battling for fourth but realistically may land fifth if they can beat the Calgary Canucks Thursday night and the Mustangs at home Sunday. Canmore opened the scoring early at Tuesday night’s game, but the Dragons took the lead halfway through the second period and kept piling on the goals.
Dragon forward Cass Mappin got the momentum going with a goal from helper Keenan Martens, followed by another Mappin tally on a powerplay opportunity in the closing minutes of the period. Doug Jones took another man-advantage goal five minutes into the third, with centre Sean Sanford finding a shorthanded goal assisted by Kevin McMillan at the 7:40 mark. The Dragons traveled to Calgary Thursday night to face the Canucks, who currently sit at the bottom of the southern standings. They’ll host another Calgary team, the Mustangs on Sunday at 2:00 p.m. at the Memorial Arena. The Mustangs are currently fifth of eight in the standings, leading the Dragons by two points as of Wednesday.

The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb
Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Book Columnist
Our first meeting of the year, this month, centred around pho, just as our book of choice did. The Beauty of Humanity Movement by Camilla Gibb takes place in Vietnam. This noodle-based soup (pho) is traditionally a breakfast food in the book. We found it to be most enjoyable in the evening! The Beauty of Humanity Movement is a group of writers and artists who try to speak out against the practises of Ho Chi Minh in the early 50’s. As a result, they would suffer dire consequences including torture, death and loss of homes. Punishments often had to do with a person’s profession, such as breaking the hands of artists or cutting the tongue of a poet. The main character is an old man who sells pho from a cart and takes great pride in the flavour and aroma of this important piece of his country’s heritage. He says that the history of Vietnam can be found in a bowl of pho with the noodles being symbolic, as is the beef broth. He finds a way to produce the soup to feed all who flock to his cart in very ingenious ways when times are tough and ingredients are scarce. This story has a good focus on the connections between people having had their share of hardships in different ways and at different times. The old man, Hung, shows us the war-time Vietnam whereas the 22 year old “Tu” is loving the life of a young man in modern day Hanoi. Hung continues to live his life without the conveniences and comforts of the present time. Maggie returns to her birth country after growing up in America and forms a relationship with these characters. A couple other characters round out the story and we see how families can be formed not necessarily by bloodlines, but by the heart. Our eyes are opened to the importance of art through all times as well. One aspect is always appreciated in a novel is when a long-lost love is rekindled. A happy outcome after heartbreak and misunderstanding makes for a nice ending. I read about how the author came to write this story after a visit to Vietnam with an interesting tour guide, with whom she formed a lasting relationship. The book is based on some of the people she met and the circumstances surrounding their lives. I think this helped give the book a very realistic touch with the characters and the setting. All of us in our book club learned more about the history of Vietnam with the Chinese and French influences than we were already familiar with.
The Dragons made it two in a row Tuesday night with a win against the Canmore Eagles 4-1, putting the trailing Eagles four points behind Drumheller. They looked to carry on the final streak of the regular season Thursday night in Calgary against the Canucks.
Because we didn’t have a meeting in January, I took that time to read and review a book not on our list. It was written by my brother, Dr. Donald Kennedy, Ph.D., P. Eng., and is titled Flogging the Innocent. His purpose in writing this book is to provide insight and advice on a productive and harmonious workplace. Throughout the book, he shares examples of unethical behaviour and how to counter-act this procedure. During his career as a management consultant, Don has focused on business operations, production projects and other management areas. He teaches classes at the U of A, as well as lectures and presents courses for companies. A copy of his book is available at the Drumheller Public Library and more information can be found on his website, www.donkennedy.ca

A Drumheller hockey player and his hockey mom have the opportunity to have Grapes for lunch, after Matthew McDougald’s essay was selected in the Cold FX Hockey Moms VIP Luncheon. Matthew and his mother Chrissy will join 99 other hockey mother and child pairs at a special luncheon hosted by Don Cherry himself in Calgary. Matthew entered the contest, and in under 300 words was to explain why his mom is the Best Hockey Mom. He did just that in a heartfelt entry. The essay describes his mom’s return to the arena after a difficult surgery just a few weeks ago. “She couldn’t make it up the stairs at the rink so she took the elevator. She couldn’t stay warm so she had to go warm up a few times. She couldn’t bring me a Gatorade after the game because she had to get home to lie down. I didn’t care about any of that because what she could do was--CHEER!” said his entry essay. The contest, co-sponsored

Faubion loses ‘stache for cash Dragons trainer Jim Faubion lost his trademark handlebar moustache after Sunday’s game, as he braved the buzzers of mom Betty who bid the most in Cash for the ‘Stache. With this and Bid for the Lids , which saw Dragons Justin Tateson and Josh Kluck have their heads shaved, the Dragon have raised $2,100 for breast cancer research. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie
