Council votes against pledge to Hope College Patrick Kolafa| inSide Drumheller
A divided Drumheller Town Council voted on Monday night to not live up to its pledge of $15,000 to Hope College. In February of 2011 Council voted unanimously to pledge $5,000 a year for three years to the college. On Monday night, council voted 4-3 to withdraw the funding commitment. Councillors Doug Stanford, Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk, Sharel Sho and Mayor Terry Yemen voted to cancel the pledge. According to Stanford, a lot has changed since the town made that commitment. In January, Hope College announced it had been approved for courses in business and in tourism. There is also a justice program pending approval. The college is taking applications and classes are slated to commence in the fall. Stanford says this is not the vision the town signed on to support. The vision was of health-based post secondary education and this initial oering of the college falls short. “It was to do with training LPN (Licensed Practical Nurses) and druggists, not business, we have Olds College to do that,â€? said Stanford. “I would like to see it expand out more instead of these little courses they oer.â€?
Stanford says this is on a temporary basis and council will be reviewing it in the future. He adds that the college so far has not had the ability to garner support from the province and that also played into council’s decision. Garbutt voted to honour council’s pledge to the college. He understands some of the concerns of other councillors. “Hope College itself acknowledges that the path they have had to take is not their ďŹ rst choice, or maybe not even their second choice, in terms of programs. But it doesn’t change the fact they are able to move forward with some post secondary program delivery in the valley and that is a goal that a good chunk of this community has been committed to for quite some time,â€? said Garbutt. He adds that living up to the pledge would “signal an important message of support from the leaders of this community that we are glad they are moving forward.â€? Mayor Yemen says the town remains supportive to the project, despite withdrawing their ďŹ nancial support. He said the pledge was made in a speciďŹ c set of circumstances that no longer exists. In February of 2011, Hope Health was looking for pledges
to support their grant application to the Rural Alberta Development Fund for $1.1 million. At the time, it indicated the pledges would be honoured only if the grant was approved. At that time, council notes indicated the Town had already donated $5,000 in 2010. The grant application failed. “The engine that drives post secondary education is not the municipality, but the provincial government. They have zero support from the provincial government,â€? said Yemen. He says Council is still supportive to post-secondary education and to Hope College, but is not sure how it will show support in the future. “For us to throw dollars at it when it didn’t get the grant and when it isn’t providing the curriculum we were originally told it was going to provide is not a good expenditure at this time,â€? said Yemen. Councillor Berdahl sees the support of Hope College as less of a post secondary education issue and more of an economic development eort. Her says the college has wide support from the community and plays a signiďŹ cant role in the town’s Municipal Sustainability Plan (MSP) for economic development and quality of life. “It is written right into (our
MSP),â€? said Berdahl. “Economic development is perhaps the most challenging of Council’s areas of responsibility, and it takes vision, awareness, courage, wisdom, patience, persistence, diligence and teamwork to be successful‌If I had to boil that down, I would have to talk about courage and wisdom. I’m not talking about taking wild risks, I’m talking about taking prudent risks and knowing that risks are necessary.â€? Jon Ohlhauser of Hope College understands the rationale for council deciding not to recommit to the college. “I respect that councillors are public servants who are elected to that position and have the responsibility of looking after the taxpayers, and at that particular moment in deliberations about Hope College, they were not in the position to recommit,â€? he said. He adds he was surprised council was making this decision on Monday. He is looking forward to working with council. “We are looking forward to discussing the details of the college plan now in greater detail and we are hoping they will be in a stronger position of conďŹ dence in the next couple weeks.â€?

Newcap explores selling Western Canada Broadcasting assets Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Newfoundland Capital Corporation (Newcap) the parent company of Q91 Radio in Drumheller, is exploring the possibility of selling its broadcasting assets in Western Canada. At this point, the company is simply looking into the idea, and no agreement is in place. Newcap owns 32 radio stations, six repeater licences and two television stations in Western Canada, located primarily in Alberta. According to a press release, if the company is able to reach an agreement at a value the company considers appropriate, the use of proceeds will be determined by the board of directors in the best interests of the company and its shareholders. This may include reinvesting in geographic areas closer to its base in Atlantic Canada, reducing debt or returning
capital to its shareholders. “These broadcasting assets have a strong track record of earnings,� commented Rob
Steele, President and Chief Executive OďŹƒcer. “This is a great opportunity for potential buyers, as this is the ďŹ rst time in many years that a cohe-
sive group of broadcasting assets has been for sale in one concentrated area in one of Canada’s most prosperous provinces.�

Having a full-time program is something we’d like to work towards,” said Luke Schille, president of the club. “In the fall, we hope to have two part-time coaches. It’ll let us double our capacity.” Beyond that, the club is hoping to grow in both numbers and the programs it offers.

Super Bowl Fare – Double Dippers Beware! I am always leery of serving dips to a large crowd – especially now with colds and flu running rampant. When I have a gathering, I look for alternate ways to serve my favorite dips. Some ideas I have used with my favorite buffalo chicken dip are as follows: Use Pilsbury crescent dough and enclose about 1 Tbsp. dip in a piece of dough. Bake and you have easy-to-serve buffalo chicken balls! You can also serve the dip baked on baguette slices. I saw a recipe where the buffalo dip was rolled in panko crumbs and deep fried. Sometimes, I put dips into individual disposable shot glasses and everyone has their own portion to double and triple dip to their hearts content! Phylo pastry cups are easy to make, simply by baking layers of a few small squares of pastry in mini muffin tins. They make perfect edible cups for dips. Toast cups and puff pastry cups work as well. Fruits and vegetables make excellent vessels for serving foods. You can hollow out tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, onion, mushrooms, etc. I have also made individual spinach dips in hollowed out buns. A clear disposable cup can hold some dip in the bottom with sticks of carrots, celery, etc. standing in it for another individualized appy. Greek Dip This Greek dip is exceptional – bursting with flavor. Don’t let the anchovies scare you off – nobody guessed that was an ingredient when I confessed what that incredible taste was! Besides using the silicone cupcake holders as pictured, I have served this on pita triangles and also on cucumber rounds – again, an easy way to avoid double-dippers. 6 anchovy fillets 3 garlic cloves 2 egg yolks 5 ml oregano 200 ml olive oil 250g feta cheese, crumbled 4 green onions, chopped 25 ml capers 50-75 ml Greek yogurt Dash hot pepper sauce Blend first 4 ingredients in food processor. While

machine is running, slowly add oil until blended. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.

Age: 24. Employer: DVSS. Occupation: I teach Junior High Science and Phys. Ed. Next semester I’m doing Science 24. Dream job? I’ve been a science guy my whole life and while I was doing engineering at University, I found I loved teaching. I don’t think I could ask for a better position. How long have you lived in here? Four
weeks. Where are you from originally? Calgary. What do you like about most about Drumheller? I really like the landscape. Any travel destinations on your bucket list? Chile, Turkey is rich in history, China, and Tokyo, because it seems like it’s science fiction. When and where would you go in time?

The science side of my brain is saying that’s a bad idea, because I could cause a paradox. If I did, I’d say the future. Things are progressing so fast, it’d be interesting to see how things turn out. Who would you most like to hang out with? Richard Feynman, the famous physicist. I love how he embraced curiosity. What could you eat for the rest of your life? I started gardening last year and there’s nothing like fresh garden vegetables. Maybe a good, elaborate salad or a good steak. Favourite movies/TV shows: Community, Modern Family, Breaking Bad, and I grew up watching Star Wars. What’s on your playlist? I have a pretty di-
verse musical taste. I’ve been listening to Passion Pit, Arcade Fire, Mumford and Sons, Barenaked Ladies, Underworld, and some electronic stuff. Favourite games? HalfLife and its mods, Rollercoaster Tycoon was a guilty pleasure, and Portal. What piece of future technology would you most want? Who doesn’t want a flying car? Maybe a holodeck; it’d be great to have for teaching. A teleporter would be cool. What superpower would you want? Slow down time. It could give you the upper hand when fighting super villains. Words wisdom? The grass is not greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it.

a little spicy
but always welcome

Which would you prefer to endure for four years, an overpaid, incompetent, corrupt politician, or an overpaid, highly educated, well experienced doctor? It’s not even a coin toss, yet we have an overpaid, incompetent, corrupt politician telling us that doctors wages are the place to start when it comes to saving money in the health care system. I quote Ms. Alison Redford: “At the end of the day, I think that’s where we start to save money, with respect to things like health care.” Politicians will be the first to tell you that unless you are willing to pay a good wage, you will never attract good people to public office. They will say this right after they have hiked their own wages. It sort of justifies the pay increase. Unfortunately, the higher pay is no guarantee of better performance, and there is no one to whom you may complain, at least not for four years. Politicians seem only to apply this rule to themselves, as they are so ready to freeze, or cut doctors wages. With a doctor, if you believe that he/she has wronged you in some manner, you may find another doctor or complain to the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and you don’t have to wait four years. Doctors, for the most part, are highly educated, skilled, mostly compassionate people who care a great deal about their patients. Our politicians on the other hand are a very mixed bag, having to meet no set standard, or write any exams, and sometimes not caring one whit for what you think. Which would I prefer to endure for four years, the highly paid, incompetent politician or the highly paid vastly more competent doctor? Okay, it is a coin toss, heads I win, tails you lose. Yeah, that kind of toss.

Sometimes in the morning, I read the Calgary Sun online. Saturday morning I was looking at the stories, and there was one that read: “Kirpans Allowed in Courtrooms” and right adjoining it was another story: “Stabbings Send Four to Hospital”. The Sun really needs to exercise a little more care when spacing their stories. Of course, allowing kirpans into courtrooms is a silly idea in the first place. Oh sure, by now we are all aware that the kirpan is nothing more than a “ceremonial dagger”, but what about the fellow wearing it, who’s to say that should he feel he’s been wronged, insulted, or laid hand on, that he may forgo all “ceremony”, and send someone to the hospital? To use simple logic, a kirpan is a dagger (knife), a dagger (knife) is a weapon, (ask any police officer) therefore, the kirpan is a weapon, and no weapons, however ceremonial, should be allowed in a courtroom. This is not religious intolerance or racist, it is simply the law of the land. When you adopt another country as your home, you cannot “cherry pick” those things you like, and demand that those things you don’t like, be changed. Coming here, you are respected as a Canadian, all Canadians require is that you return that respect. Welcome to Canada, love it as it is.

Bantam Raptors ready for home tournament Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller Memorial Arena will be packed this weekend. Teams from all over Alberta will be descending upon the Valley to battle in the most quintessentially Canadian way; a good old fashioned hockey tournament. Five teams, with roughly 100 players in total, from Edmonton, Calgary, Red Deer, and Picture Butte have signed up for the tournament, The tournament starts bright and early Saturday morning at 8 a.m. The ďŹ nal game will start at 12:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon. So far this season, the Raptors have been a powerhouse on the ice. “I have always felt for any team to be successful, it demands team bonding from coaches, players and parents. They must demonstrate the skill of being a team player and not be an individual player out there on the ice. If they play individually, that’s when a team starts to slide. One has to continue to think and demonstrate these abilities, as these are the strengths of
a great team,â€? said Mary Hodge, manager of the Bantam Raptors. The team has also been tearing through provincials and are gearing up for the zone ďŹ nals. They’ll be bringing their best game so they may avoid a repeat of last year’s unceremonious defeat early in provincials. “We will heading into the ďŹ nal round of provincials against Canmore to see who takes home the zone banner as well as to see who will continue to the provincial tournament,â€? said Hodge. The Raptors are dominating the Central Alberta Hockey League (CAHL) Bantam Tier 3 division. Since moving up from the Tier 4 Bantam division in December, they have skyrocketed to ďŹ rst place, with 11 wins and 27 points. Their last three games have been tough, however, with a narrow 7-6 win over Chestermere two weeks ago and back-to-back ties this past weekend. Despite the recent setbacks, they’re conďŹ dent they’ll give a good ďŹ ght in the tournament and provincials.
