Bylaw incidents rise in 2010 Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Community enforcement has had a busy 2010 with incidents almost doubling from the previous year. This year, community enforcement officers dealt with 1,376 incidents, up from 704 in 2009. Community enforcement supervisor Darcy Nundahl recently presented the department’s 2010 yearly report to the Drumheller Policing Committee. It showed that with 1,376 incidents investigated, the department had an 85 per cent closed disposition rate on these files. Of these, there were 135 citations issued with 55 warnings. This compared with 2009 where there were only 22 citations issued. “(Of the 1,376 incidents), 1,167 are done, they are closed. There has been a resolution, a warning, a ticket or a notice issued. All parties are satisfied, mostly,” said Nundahl. Of these incidents, 274 were dealing with unsightly property, up from 63 in the previous year. Traffic incidents, which include everything from Traffic Safety Act enforcement to snow removal and parking saw an increase to 348 in 2010, up from 207 in 2009. The only area that saw a slight decrease

was in animal control. In presenting the report, Policing Committee chair Fred Makowecki raised some concerns about the number of citations compared to the number of warnings. “How can we have more citations than warnings? If we are being proactive and talking to people ﬁrst wouldn’t we have a heck of a lot more

of the disparity of numbers is accuracy in reporting the incidents. Often warnings may not be recorded. He also points out that citations are not just tickets, but could be other types of warnings or postings. Of the 135 citations last year, he said 124 were tickets. This year he has already seen a diﬀerence and says of the 33

citations issued this year, only eight are tickets. “It is a valid point, and it is something we are trying to improve on, making it more

consistent to what we are doing,” he said. He said they are being proactive in their approach to bylaw enforcement. “It is probably more complaint driven than proactive. That is not to say it isn’t proactive,” said Nundahl. “Once we get a complaint in an area, we just don’t deal with that one complaint in the neighbourhood, we look around and see if there are other similar issues that we can deal with so we are not giving the impression we are targeting individuals, but we are dealing with the issue in the area.” He says his direction for enforcement is driven by council’s direction. The priorities outlined include unsightly premises, and animal control. Issues with parking are also important to council. He says the direction has changed little in the last two years. “We want to get out there and educate as much as we can,” he said. “For me, if I am able to deal with one person on the road and ﬁve or six people see me with lights going, in uniform, and that stops ﬁve or six people from doing what they were illegally doing before, we’ve succeeded. It isn’t about the tickets.”

Survey to quiz valley’s shopping habits Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Tysen Spooner “She’s a stealing cokehead, she should be jailed.”

The Town of Drumheller will be conducting a survey which will poll valley residents on their shopping habits, a media release said Thursday. “We want to make sure that consumer dollars stay in the valley,” said Mayor Terry Yemen, who suggested in December the Economic Development Department conduct a survey in order to better un-

derstand retail and service gaps. “This survey will give us some direction on areas we need to work on.” A retail and service industry survey will be sent out with this week’s water bills, and is also available online at the town’s website, www. dinosaurvalley.com. The survey will quiz residents about their online shopping, products residents shop out of town for, professional services

residents must obtain out of town, what types of services the valley needs, and what types of retail the valley could use. “Consumer habits have changed drastically in the last 10 years with online shopping, obligatory trips to larger centers for various services and the ease of transportation to the major centers,” said Economic Development Oﬃcer Ray Telford. “Dollars leaving the trad-

Peewee hockey tourney to bring hundreds to valley late March Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

After the success of last year’s Bantam provincial championship, Drumheller Minor Hockey will be hosting the Peewee championships from March 24 to 27 at the Memorial Arena after Hockey Alberta chose their bid. “We’re very excited,” says organizer Shari Fournier.

“Bringing 150 families to Drumheller for three days will only beneﬁt the economy in town. We’ll be looking to do this again in the future, especially with the new facility.” The proceeds from hosting the games will entirely go back to minor hockey in the valley. Support from sponsorships, concession sales, advertising in pro-

grams and websites, raffles, gate admission and merchandise sales is hoped to raise a couple thousand dollars for the association. Last year’s Bantam tournament raised over $5,000 for Drumheller Minor Hockey. “It definitely benefits the whole town,” Fournier said, adding last year’s successful tournament probably helped chances of securing

another championship only a year later. Last year was the ﬁrst time in a decade Drumheller had hosted a provincial tournament, when the Bantams hosted but lost out in the ﬁnals.

The Greene Construction Peewee 2 Raptors, the host team, will be hitting the ice on March 25 at 10:30 a.m., and plan on playing after the opening ceremonies that night.

Drumheller Minor Hockey will host the Peewee provincial championships from March 24 to 27, as the Greene Construction Raptors will play host to over one hundred families for their three day stay in the valley. The economic effects for both the town and the association are welcome, organizers say. inSide file photo

day, President Dr. Jon Olhouser and other players will be at the mall providing information. “We’re trying to raise the proﬁle of Hope College in the community,” said Olhouser. The grant requires they demonstrate the local community understands and supports the project. People will be able to stop by, learn more about the project, and sign a statement of support addressing whether the school would be beneﬁcial to the community to go along with the RADF application. “We’ll be there to answer any types of questions. We’ll have handouts that explain the project more: when we’ll start, what we anticipate for student residences, where we’d be located, what our costs would be. What we’re primarily looking for are members of the community

who feel this would be valuable to express their support.” The public open house will follow a professional luncheon on March 2 which will address options for professionals in the valley who would benefit from having this post-secondary institute in place. Hope College is a notfor-profit post-secondary institution developed by the Hope Health Initiative and Community Futures Big Country. They envision establishing a college and student residence in Drumheller. Hope College was recently approved to submit a proposal to the RADF, which would help cover start-up costs associated with the first three years of operations. The grant request is asking for $1.1 million from the RADF.

The RADF is a provincial matching grant, requiring Hope College to find community support by securing at least 25 per cent of its start-up needs from local sources. The business model estimates it will require $1.6 million for start-up costs over the first three years of operation. They hope to open their doors to the first cohort of students in the fall of 2012. Hope College’s anticipated first two years course plan includes: Licensed Practical Nurse, Physical Therapy Assistant, and Business Administration in 2012; Occupational Therapy Assistant, Rehabilitation Therapy Assistant, and Respiratory Therapy Assistant in 2013.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM www.baxterblack.com

CHEER FOR HORSES As we horse owners and lovers struggle to find some middle ground in the tragic abandoned horse issue, maybe we need to look “outside the box.” Most horse owners, horse associations, equine veterinarians, and those of us forced to take the responsibility for dealing with the mess, are still optimistic that the new Centers for Humane Euthanasia and Equine Recycling (CHEER) will be built. Opponents of CHEER object to the basic idea that horses are animals like buffalo, lobster, pheasant or whale that are, and have been routinely, eaten by civilized men for millennia. Their position recognizes neither history, economic impact, or common sense as legitimate arguments in support of CHEER. One causative factor that horse owners on both sides might agree is that the explosion of abandoned horses, their subsequent abuse, their plummeting value, and the increasing apathy of the public to their fate, is that the average horse owner has no reasonable, much less profitable way to dispose of their unwanted horses. Opponents of CHEER present either one or both of two big objections: 1) The process is not humane or 2) It is not “right” for people to eat horsemeat. What if we had a plan that improved the use of natural resources, fed the hungry, and eliminated the difficult need to bury, burn, or otherwise, dump the carcass in a landfill once you have humanely euthanized our horse? Take him, or have her delivered to an approved CHEER. Think of it as a local boutique abattoir. In return you will get him back as rump steaks, wither roast or dog bones. If you were uncomfortable eating your own, you could swap with another customer. If you chose not to eat it at all, it could be donated to the millions of children that the government say go to bed hungry every night. Donate it to Africa, Italy, North Korea. The soup bones could go to the zoo or the local humane society in your community. Your actions would be unselfish, charitable, ecologically-friendly, recycling at its purest, AND we would immediately solve the abandoned horse tragedy! It is as good an idea as making fur coats out of roadkill! In deference to those unsympathetic to CHEER, we must face the fact that we do not all have the same taste. Should I have the right to prevent you from eating eggs sunnyside up? Boiled okra? Raw oysters, goose liver, brie, mushrooms, lamb shanks, seaweed, broccoli, tofu, noodles and things that crawl on the sea floor! Can you imagine if someone stood up and said, “You will not be allowed to import, cook, serve and otherwise, eat bananas, because I think it is immoral!” I remind us all that there is no abuse in humane euthanasia and no law, moral or constitutional, that prevents you from eating cherries flambé, wild salmon or an Appaloosa filet served with latigo sauce and chopped reins. www.baxterblack.com

10k route mapped out for Dinosaur Half Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

While the second annual Dinosaur Half is not until September, it is time to start thinking about getting in shape if you choose to take on one of the three courses offered at this year’s event. This year the Dinosaur Half is back and even bigger. It has added a 10-kilometre run to the event, which already has the 21-kilometre half marathon and the five-kilometre trek. Organizers have mapped out the 10-kilometre run and it will start at the Royal Tyrrell Museum and head through McMullen Island and Midland before returning to the finish line at the museum.

There are no changes to the five-kilometre run or the half marathon course. Race director Colin Kloot says they expect a full compliment of runners at all levels. Registration will open on April 1 and close at the end of July. He says because they fully expect the event to fill up, runners should seriously start considering whether they plan to attend the race and not wait until the last minute to register. Part of committing to take on one of these runs is not just registering, but making sure you are able to complete the run. The website www. dinosaurhalf.com has a link to Jeff Galloway’s website. He

is a former Olympic runner who has training regimes set out to take runners from the television to the track. He provides a 20-week program to train for a half marathon as well as training regimes for 5k and 10k races. If you haven’t laced up a pair of shoes for as long as you can remember, he also provides an eight week conditioning regime to get potential runners up to speed before they start training. He also has advice on nutrition, avoiding injuries and motivation. More information on the race, how to prepare and how to get involved can be found at www.dinosaurhalf.com.

There’s nothing like a nice warm bowl of clam chowder to take away some of the winter chill. Here is a delicious and easy recipe to warm you up: Clam Chowder 1 package bacon 6 stalks of celery, diced 2 carrots, diced 2 large onions, chopped 1 litre milk 1 cup cream 2 cans cream of potato soup 2 cans cream of celery soup 1 can diced potatoes - don’t drain 2 large cans chopped clams (I used 4 of the soupsized ones) - don’t drain Worcestershire to taste

THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BE EFFICIENT. All good things must come to an end, and we’ve now entered the final year of the Government of Alberta Energy Efficiency Rebate Program, designed and delivered by C3. If you want to go green and save with an ENERGY STAR® washer, hurry, because this $100 rebate program ends March 31, 2011.

Fry bacon until cooked but not crisp. Drain fat. Add vegetables and saute until tender. In a large soup pot, combine all remaining ingredients with the bacon mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1-2 hours, never allowing to boil. (I cooked it for about 6 hours in the slow cooker on low.)

Add some Worcestershire and if you want, a dash of Tabasco. You can top with some chopped green onion to

serve, if you like. Like chili and stew, soup tastes better the next day. When I made this, I refrigerated it overnight and reheated it in the slow cooker the next day. I served it as an appetizer in small cups for about 16 people. (Some may have had seconds, as it’s hard to resist!) To serve this as a meal, I would think about 8 - 10 people using large bowls. You could also add another litre of milk to make it go further and not be so thick. I liked having it so you could almost eat it with a fork!

Golf auction to take place in new tournament facility Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

This year’s annual Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club dinner and auction will be in a place they can call their own. The tournament facility embarked upon last year is progressing along at such a pace the golf course is confident that this year’s event will take place in the new 3,600 square foot banquet area come April 9. “The whole idea is to showcase our new building, to get people out and see what we do,” said golf club manager Scott Westman. Following last year’s auction success, they are continuing with a travel theme. Along with myriad auction items donated by local individuals and businesses, they will be raffling a travel voucher. “We will be selling tickets for a choice of trips. If you win, you have a choice of going to New York, San Antonio or New Orleans. These are four night trips for two people, hotel and flights covered,” said Westman. Again, attendees also have the chance to win a trip to Las Vegas. Those who buy a dinner ticket and attend the

The space is bathed in natural light from impressive picture windows overlooking the ﬁrst fairway. The building’s capacity is in the 200 range and it will eventually feature a large patio. With the new facility, they are hoping to host a variety of events at the golf course. Already he says they have four weddings booked, and more social functions lined up. “It has taken us a while to get this far, but I think now that the structure is up as a whole, the golf course will start looking for other projects to complement the facility,” said Westman. The annual golf auction is dedicated to help realize the tournament facility construction. Currently they are looking for donations to the auction. For more information, to buy tickets to or donate items to auction, contact Westman at 403-823-5622. Tickets are also available from board members.

This year’s annual Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club dinner and auction will be at the club’s new tournament facility. The facility is nearing completion and will be showcased at the event come April 9. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Man sentenced for drug, traﬃcking refusal to give breath sample charges Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

A Drumheller man has been sentenced to eight months in custody after pleading guilty to drug charges and an earlier charge of refusing to provide a breath sample. Lloyd Carl Smith appeared in provincial court in Drumheller via closed circuit television on Friday, February 11. He faced a number of charges in relation to two separate events. He pleaded guilty to possession of marijuana for the purposes of traﬃcking and failing to provide a lawful breath sample. On December 18, at about 9 p.m., a civilian complaint alerted Drumheller RCMP to a possible impaired driver at Winks in Drumheller. An oﬃcer attended to the scene

and observed Smith, who appeared to be significantly intoxicated. When the officer asked Smith whether he had anything to drink on this evening, he replied, “Lots.” Smith was taken to the local detachment where he refused to provide a lawful breath sample. Because Smith has previous convictions related to operating a motor vehicle and alcohol, there is a mandatory punishment of 120 days incarceration. The court also heard that this January, police had conducted surveillance on Smith’s home on 4th Street West in Drumheller, and noticed a pattern of traffic that indicated possible drug trafficking. Smith was arrested and on his person, they re-

covered cash and 1.5 grams of marijuana. A search warrant of his home was executed, and in all, 426 grams of marijuana was seized. He has previous convictions for drug oﬀenses that date back to 1999 and 2003. Defence for Smith and the federal prosecutor submitted a joint submission for four months in custody. Judge P. M. McIlhargey agreed with the submission. Smith was sentenced globally to eight months; four months for the possession for the purposes of traﬃcking charge and 120 days for the refusal to provide a breath sample charge. He was given six days credit for time he spent in custody. He was also given a three year driving prohibition.

resulted in a search warrant executed on his residence in Drumheller, resulting in approximately $8,000 worth of marijuana seized by Drumheller RCMP. Neil Lanos was released from custody by the Cal-

gary bail oﬃce with a court appearance date of March 18, 2011. He will be facing a number of charges including possession for the purpose of traﬃcking. RCMP say Lanos does have a previous criminal record.

A man found with a quantity of marijuana and psilocybin was ﬁned in provincial court in Drumheller. Derreck Liepert pleaded guilty in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, February 18 to two counts of possession of a controlled substance. The court heard how Liepert was in a vehicle stopped by a peace oﬃcer

in Drumheller. The officer saw two bags of marijuana and requested the RCMP to attend. When his vehicle was searched, police discovered 80 grams of marijuana and 50 grams of psilocybin. A joint submission by the Federal Crown and defense saw Liepert fined $1,000 for the possession of marijuana and $500 for the possession of psilocybin. He was given no time to pay his fine as funds seized

Four suspects arrested following break-in submitted | inSide Drumheller

Four men have been arrested in connection with two break-ins in the area. Drumheller RCMP responded on Monday, February 21 to a break and enter in progress at the Morrin Hotel. A vehicle was observed speeding away from the area and a traﬃc stop was initiated leading to the arrest of four males for break and enter. A search of the vehicle revealed alcohol, electronics, cigarettes and a large sum of cash.

A second break-in was reported at the Carbon Community Center. As a result of further investigation, Melville Sanford, 29 years old from Winnipeg, Phelix Rush-Klevgaard, 20 years old from Regina, Tyler Hopkinson, 25 years old from Warman, SK and Justin Belanger, 21 years old from Calgary, all face two counts of break and enter and a single count of possession of break in tools.

Is this a great country or what? Make that two great countries, as Quebec is now recognized as a “nation within a nation” (whatever that means). It could more accurately be described as the biggest, most ravenous piglet in the litter, suckling at the teat that is the rest of Canada, and always demanding more. This country has it all, in all the ways you could imagine. It is without doubt, one of the greatest countries on earth. Why? I can answer that in three words, Judeo-Christian values. That’s right, because of these fundamental values our society and our country are great. Without such as these, we would be no more than those countries from which people escape, to come to Canada, seeking a better life. Judeo-Christian values are backstopped by what are known as the “Cardinal Virtues”. These are PRUDENCE, TEMPERANCE, JUSTICE, and FORTITUDE. You will note nowhere is there mentioned “Tolerance and Understanding” or “Self-esteem”. PRUDENCE is nothing more than practical common sense; thinking out what you are doing, and the consequences thereof. TEMPERANCE refers not only to food and drink, but to all pleasure. It means going a proper length and going no further. It is to restrict oneself for good reason (smoking may harm your health) from that which one does not condemn, nor condemning those who enjoy such pleasures; to give up something without obliging everyone else to do the same. JUSTICE has many meanings, but they are all based on the idea of “fairness”: honesty, give and take, truthfulness, keeping promises. FORTITUDE is the last virtue mentioned, because it is the one virtue without which it would be nearly impossible to practice the ﬁrst three. Fortitude is guts, sticking it out when others give in. So why do I bring up these things? It is because every once in a while we need a reminder of why Canada is great, it is because these virtues, our Judeo-Christian values are being eroded. Tolerance and understanding have replaced them, in many people’s thinking. Multiculturalization has worked in reverse to what it was intended, as do so many social engineering experiments. Some immigrants come to this country to take advantage of every social program that exists, yet maintain their own insular community, never intending to accept Canada and its values. They instead work to make Canada like the country from which they escaped. They demand that Canada and Canadians bend, or abandon our values, and accept their own. And of course those in authority do the Canadian thing, asking us to show a little “tolerance and understanding” by giving in. To them I say, “No.” This is Canada, and in Canada we have based our society, our government on Judeo-Christian values. If you do not like it, and feel you cannot live with such values, well, this is Canada and you are free to leave, to return to that hellhole country you were in such a hurry to leave. Canada is great, with many good people, but sometimes we are too soft, and pliable to whims of those who would destroy our greatness. 8l
