It appears the Drumheller Institution is not the only penitentiary in Canada that has experienced trouble with its wind power projects. The Mail reported in its October 3, 2012 edition, the wind power generator, which cost nearly $1.4 million, was not operating. Mayor Terry Yemen reported that since then it has been operational. A CBC report from New Brunswick says a turbine installed at Dorchester has also stalled, and there has been an additional $60,000 spent on repairs. It appears both of the generating units are
Drumheller unit was manufactured by Fuhrlaender in Germany. The issue with turbine in Drumheller was related to the batteries and the inverter. To further complicate, matters Lorax, the US contractor that won the bidding process dissolved before the project was commissioned. The turbine in Drumheller was purchased in 2008 as part of the pilot project to help save money, with potentially 20 per cent of the institution’s energy needs being met by the wind. For Mayor Terry Yemen, what upsets him is the lack of accountability for taxpayers’ dollars.

Ladies and gentlemen from all over the Drumheller area are heading to the Aquaplex to battle for the title of swim champions in the 2013 Battle of the Sexes. This year, the men will be looking to reclaim their championship status. Over the years, the gents have been the perpetual underdogs, winning just once in the past 18 years. Two years ago, the men won their first Battle of the Sexes, but were soundly defeated last year by the ladies. “The men usually get

their butts kicked. Two years ago was the first time we’ve won in a long time. Hopefully we can get more men out and beat the ladies this year,” said Tyson Anderson, an Aquaplex staff member swimming for the men. Last year the ladies won by swimming 14,538 lengths (363 km) compared to the 13,144 (329 km) swam by the men, a difference of 1394 (34 km). After just under a week of competition, the race is close, with the ladies at 2,115 lengths and the gents at 2,025. “It’s pretty tight so far and there has been quite a
bit of friendly trash-talking so far,” said Anderson. More swimmers are always welcome for both teams and it’s a great way to get into swimming. “I think it’s great. It gives people the competitive edge to come out and push themselves for that extra couple lengths. You see a lot more people coming out for it and then keep swimming regularly,” said Anderson. To participate, just show up at the Aquaplex, and swim or walk two lengths of the pool each session. The battle will continue until the end of the month.
We’re happy as a kid with ice cream on a hot summer day. Audry Hems “...but wilt and die. So here, I baked you an apple pie.”

ated to the use of ATV’s and snowmobiles within town limits. Sta Sergeant Art Hopkins said most of these complaints involve erratic use of these vehicles on our streets, back alley’s, walking trails, or being operated during early morning hours (3 - 4 am.) The Town of Drumheller “does notâ€? allow for the operation of these vehicles within its municipal limits and currently has a bylaw that prohibits their use. The Town of Drum-
heller however, does not have legal jurisdiction over the use of the river. Elected oďŹƒcials, past and present, understand that many residents own this class of vehicle and that the owners like to operate them on the river. The town has subsequently provided areas for the unloading of quads & snowmobiles that allows easy access to the river so that few people are disturbed. Drumheller detachment peace oďŹƒcers have not been actively enforcing the bylaw, however due to the increase in recklessness
and uncaring attitudes of a few, this may have to change for all if not corrected. If an ATV or snowmobile has been operated on any street, road, or highway, the operator must comply with not only the bylaw, but also the O Highway vehicle regulations. These vehicles must be licensed, insured, and operated by persons qualiďŹ ed to operate them. “The oďŹƒcers at this detachment have more important things to be doing than dealing with these oences, but increased enforcement may need to be taken

to stop their illegal and uncaring use. Keep in mind, it is not hard to follow the tracks back to the oenders vehicle,â€? said Hopkins. The registered owner is responsible for the ďŹ nes associated to their vehicle. If the vehicle is not registered and insured it is subject to seizure. “If actions are not changed, I will instruct members to increase enforcement, and ask the town to remove the unloading locations and to close o access areas to the river,â€? said Hopkins.

Cenovus Energy is helping residents of Drumheller get started on the right literary foot. On Saturday, January 26, the energy company donated $45,000 over three years to Drumheller Family Literacy. The money will be used to support programs to increase literacy for both children
and adults in Drumheller. “Cenovus is pleased to support Drumheller Family Literacy,� said Leanne Courchesne, Cenovus group lead, community investment. “The project offers tremendous learning support to many youth and families and we’re excited to be a part of that. We strive to be a good neighbour and support the com-
munities where we live and work.� The goal of Drumheller Family Literacy is to increase literacy and educational supports for families and children and help raise high school completion rates from 72 per cent. Drumheller Family Literacy also assists adults, roughly 38 per cent of which struggle daily with low literacy levels.

Duffers have a new place in downtown Drumheller to hang out year round and even work on their swing. Phil McCluskey, who was Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club’s pro from 1993 to 2007, and Dave Schinnour have collaborated on opening Lowleft Golf. They introduced the latest technology in golf simulators. The facility on 3rd Avenue features two Bogolf Simulators, the first to be installed in a retail business in Canada. This is a brand new technology where users can challenge 70 different courses. While McCluskey says the facility is primarily for recreation, he can use it for lessons as well. Lowleft Golf also has a putting green and is licensed for food and beverage service, much like

10 easy ways to reduce your tax bill The days are starting to get longer, and you can feel that spring is right around the corner. With spring, of course, comes tax-filing season, so as “filing taxes” joins “spring cleaning” on your to-do list, here are 10 ways to save you money—and even land you that refund you’ve been hoping for. • Tax-free savings account: Using a TFSA is a smart way to save on tax. Generally, the interest, dividends, and capital gains earned on investments in a TFSA are not taxed—not when they are held in the account or when they are withdrawn. • Registered retirement savings plan: Pay less tax and save for your retirement at the same time. Any income that you earn in
your RRSP is usually free from tax as long as the funds stay in the plan.
could be eligible for an additional $2,000 this year with the new family caregiver amount.
• Charitable donations: Donations of cash, goods, land, or listed securities made to a registered charity or other qualified donee may be eligible for a tax credit.
• Student: Were you a student in 2012? You may be able to claim tuition, textbook, and education amounts, as well as moving expens-
• Parents: All those mornings spent at the hockey rink and afternoons spent at the ballet studio can mean savings—with the children’s fitness and arts tax credits. Child care is also deductible, so gather up your receipts.
es if applicable. And if you’ve recently graduated, you can claim the interest you paid on your student loan.
• Home buyers: You may be able to claim up to $5,000 if you bought your first home in 2012.
• Public transit amount: If you are a public transit rider, you may be able to save by claiming the cost of your transit passes. You can get up to 15% of the amount claimed.
• Hiring an apprentice: Did your business employ an apprentice? An employer who paid a salary to an employee registered in a prescribed trade in the first two years of his or her apprenticeship contract qualifies for a non-refundable tax credit.
• Seniors: If you receive income from a pension, you can split up to 50% of eligible pension income with your spouse or common-law partner to reduce the taxes that you pay. You may also be eligible to claim the age amount, medical expenses, and the disability amount.
• Family caregivers: If you have a dependant with a physical or mental impairment, you

Buying online is a convenient way to make any number of purchases. Nowadays, shoppers can purchase everything from books to boats online, making it easier than ever before for consumers to connect with their favorite retailers. But the convenience of online shopping also makes it easy to overspend. When shopping online, consider the following tips that should help curtail spending. * Understand online marketing. Perhaps it’s so easy to shop online because it’s so easy for marketers to target customers via the Internet. Before “liking” anything on social media sites like Facebook, recognize that doing so is inviting marketers to inundate you with advertisements. This might be perfectly alright for some people, but those who want to control their online spending might think twice the next time they profess their love for certain products. * Beware of “limited time only” deals. Online retailers attempt to entice men and women to buy products by offering “limited time only” deals through their Web sites. These deals can be for discounted items like clothing or electronics or more exotic offers
like vacation deals to island resorts. While they might offer good deals, consumers who aren’t looking to buy a vacation package or a new wardrobe should ignore these offers no matter how enticing they might be. * Include online spending when establishing a monthly budget. Online spending is often so convenient that many people fail to account for it when establishing their monthly budgets. Come the end of the month, if you have considerably less money than your budget suggests you should, peruse bank statements to see just how much of that money went toward online spending. It might be a lot or might be a little, but take it into consideration when laying out next month’s budget. * Recognize it’s real money being spent. Buying online requires real money, but the convenience of online shopping, particularly when using sites that already have your financial information on record, makes it easy to overlook that real money is being spent. Instead of swiping a card at the store, you simply click the mouse a couple of times and you’ve made a purchase. This disconnect facilitates overspending, and con-
sumers who fear they might be spending too much should stop saving their financial information on their favorite Web sites. This makes it harder to make a purchase but reduces the risk of making an impulse buy.

Here is a Valentine’s treat that is so easy, there is no excuse that you didn’t have time to make something special.
Sweets for the sweet I used the “two-bite brownies” for the bottom layer, but any brownie or chocolate cake is fine. Just break it into pieces to fill the bottom of your dish. Top with a heaping spoonful of chocolate pudding, whipped cream, raspberries and then repeat layers. This is like an individual mini trifle. As you can see, a wine glass works if you don’t have a sundae cup. A clear glass bowl is also nice. Nothing says love like chocolate!

While they have been through a difficult season, the Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society is continuing to thrive and appear to be getting stronger. The Ag Society has been in a state of flux over the past couple seasons, with changes to the executive and the loss of the WPCA. Mike Hansen president of the Drumheller and District Ag Society said it has been a lot of work to have the community take a second look and build trust. “I think we have made good progress,” said Hansen. While it appeared to be a blow to lose the chucks, they have soldiered on. “The chuckwagons were here for eleven years, which is really good for a lot of things. Often, events have a lifespan of about six years,” said Hansen. While it wasn’t WPCA, the Ag Society brought in the Alberta Pony Chuckwagon Association and had a successful show. Hansen said they are already in the planning stages for next year’s show. He says the entertainment value of the Pony Chuckwagon and Chariots is better with more close exciting finishes. “The guys want to come back, they really enjoyed it,” said Hansen.
The Drumheller and District Stampede and Ag Society is looking forward to anoth-
He said they are aiming for a four-day show on the August Long Weekend, and they are looking at more than 50 wagons coming for the event. A tarp auction allowing locals to get in on the action to support drivers is slated for April. While the Ag Society is excited about bringing the pony chucks, they are certainly not a one trick pony. The Society is continuing to work with the IMCA to bring car racing to the track. Other racing outfits are also interested in coming to Drumheller. Last year they were able to get the Drumheller Demolition

So far, the coyote trapping program in Drumheller has relocated five animals, however complaints keep coming. The Drumheller Mail reported in its December 5, 2012 issue, the Town of Drumheller Community Enforcement Department was launching a trapping program to curb the number of coyotes in the town. Community Enforcement Supervisor Greg Peters told The Mail, they have relocated five animals in approximately the last two months. “If anything, we hope it disrupts them a bit and keeps them from getting too comfortable and becoming more of a problem,” said Peters. He says it is hard to tell how significant that number is because they continue to get complaints to the Community Enforcement office and the chorus of howling in the evening seems to be strong. It has been about three weeks since the last cap-

Off-ice officials needed for Dragons games Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller Dragons are on the lookout for new volunteers to help fill key vacant positions for office officials. The search began after losing several long term volunteers. “We’ve lost three volunteers in the past couple years and with job transfers and other circumstances, we may lose another couple from the crew next season,” said Barry Pozzo, head off-ice official coordinator. Off-ice officials oversee all home games for the Dragons. Positions include a scorekeeper, timekeeper, penalty box attendants, and goal judges.
“We’ve had a pretty dedicated and professional crew over the past 10 seasons, but many of them are elderly, so it’s time for recruitment,” said Pozzo. Those interested in learning more are encouraged to contact Pozzo at 403-823-6601 or the Dragons head office at 403-823-2022. “If anyone is interested and available to help with any remaining games this season, we could get them into some games and get their feet wet,” said Pozzo. “There are many perks as a volunteer. We look forward to hearing from anyone who wants to join.”

Battle of the border to highlight rural football talent Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A Drumheller Titans coach will be leading a select team of Alberta high school football players to take on British Columbia. Ron Laprise says that All Pro Camps is in the midst of introducing an Alberta-B.C. football all star game, or “Border Bowl” to showcase the talents of players from rural areas. He will be coaching the inaugural Alberta team and it may feature some top Drumheller talent. Right now, he is assembling a coaching
staff and setting up tryouts. The first tryout for the Alberta team will be in Sherwood Park on February 22, in Airdrie on February 23, and on February 24, in Drumheller. This will coincide with a Media Day. “From the top 100 kids from those three tryouts, we will select the top 45 players who are going to be in B.C.,” said Laprise. The first Alberta-B.C. Border Bowl will be at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna on May 11. All Pro Camps already hosts a of couple Border Bowls in Eastern

Canada. It will feature the best Grade 10 and 11 players from the rural communities. Laprise said the game is not affiliated with Alberta Football, which annually hosts the Senior Bowl for top prospects. The Border Bowl fills a gap to allow players from smaller schools in rural areas to get exposure. “It gives rural kids a legitimate shot at being seen,” said Laprise. “There are a lot of kids who have the ability to go on, but they don’t get seen, they don’t have that chance.”

Midget Raptors head to zone championships Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Another one bites the dust. The Drumheller Midget Tier 3 Raptors have advanced to zone championships after utterly decimating the Canmore Eagles in one game by a score of 11-1. Normally, provincial rounds are decided in two games. “We did really good. We automatically advanced to the next round,” said assistant coach Nick Schinnour. “I don’t think they (the Raptors) wanted to go to Canmore, because the Super Bowl was on, so they took it in one game.” The game started off locked in a stalemate, with a lot of end-to-end play. It wasn’t until late

in the first period that Spencer Fournier gave the Raptors the lead with a two-on-one rush goal. From there, the Raptors dominated the game. Fournier would go on to score six more times before the game was done. “I was surprised we beat them by that much. I was expecting to win, but not by ten goals,” said Schinnour. “Sometimes teams just have bad games, but we had a really good one. The boys played great. It was probably the best I’ve seen them play all year.” One of the biggest factors to the Raptors success, explained Schinnour, was staying out of the penalty box. The Raptors continued the momentum on Saturday when they headed
to Airdrie, where they won 6-4. The Raptors have a busy weekend ahead. Tomorrow night they hit the road to play their first game of zones against a tough Three Hills squad. Game 2 will be held at the Drumheller Memorial Arena on Wednesday, February 13. Last year, the Raptors ousted Three Hills from provincials. “They’re in a higher Tier than us. We faced them last year in zone playoffs too, so they’ll be out for redemption,” said Schinnour. They continue their league games on Friday versus Strathmore and Indus on Sunday. Friday’s game will be at home and starts at 7:15 p.m.

Sabres take home third from Forestburg tournament Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The St. Anthony’s Sabres hit their stride, beating the number four-ranked team in the province at the 1A level, and taking home third place at a tournament in Forestburg. The Sabres having a strong season with a tightly knit team. Last weekend they headed north to Forestburg for a 12-team tournament. The Sabres ďŹ rst went head-to-head with Sedgwick and quickly jumped out to a ďŹ rst quarter lead. They never looked back and every player made it on to the court contributing to the win 73-62. Tanner Borowicz had 24 points and 22 rebounds, Nathan Comstock and Travis Dietrich each had 16 points. Jakub St. Jean was an eective oor general with 13 points and seven assists. This put them up against Bashaw for their second game Friday night. The game was in a smaller gymnasium and Bashaw had some size to clog up the Sabres’ inside attack. This opened up oor for St. Jean, who exploded for his season high 30 points. Borowicz had 26 points as they went on to a 72-63
win. The Sabres faced the home team in the semiďŹ nal and were in for a battle. Forestburg led most of the game. The Sabres pulled them in with a strong fourth quarter and led for a spell, but an unlikely shot late in the game put Forestburg up and they defeated the Sabres 54-50. Borowicz again led the way with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Comstock had 16 points and seven boards. This put them in the third place game versus Daysland. A defensive effort closing o the baseline and backdoor cuts nulliďŹ ed the Daysland oense and they were able to take over the game. A balanced offensive eort by the Sabres saw Borowicz score 17, St. Jean had 16 point and Dietrich had 10. The Sabres went on to a 57-48 win. Coach Dan Patterson said what has set this team apart was the strong leadership by their key veteran players. This has allowed payers to develop their skills and support each other. “Having good communication and everyone on the same page, makes the game and the year go a lot smoother,â€? said Patterson.

Dynos get back on track Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) senior girls basketball team is getting back on track. Two weeks ago, the Dynos were denied by the always tough Acme Redmen. The game opened with the Redmen gaining a small lead over the Dynos. However, both teams seemed evenly matched. Each basket the Redmen scored, the Dynos would reply with one of their own. For every turnover by the Dynos, the Redmen would return the favour. By the end of the ďŹ rst half, the Dynos were only down by three points. Once play resumed, the Dynos were continually on the heels of the Redmen. Despite their eorts, the Dynos couldn’t overtake their opponent and lost by one point. The game was challenging and physical for the Dynos, but head coach Jennifer Raugust saw the team returning to their pre-holidays form. “It was an incredible game and so much fun. The girls played so well. I was very proud of them,â€? said Raugust. “We just need to do some conditioning and we’ll be even more threat-

ening.� Last week, the Dynos had a break after their game against the Trochu Blue Jays was cancelled due to the inclement weather. The game gave them a chance to practice for their game on Monday versus Prairie Christian Academy. “Playing PCA was good practice for the girls. They’ve learned some new plays and had a chance to try to iron out the wrinkles,� said Raugust. “The only thing they need to
work on is putting the ball in the net.� After battling with injuries and sickness, which left them with only seven players against the Redmen, the Dynos are now healthy again. The Dynos return to the court on Monday for round two of the Battle of Drumheller versus the St. Anthony’s Sabres. They then travel to Acme for a rematch against the Redmen.
