Town hopeful remediation work on Michichi Creek imminent Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

This week the Town of Drumheller received the good news that it is one step closer to having the damage to the banks of Michichi Creek remediated. Last April the creek swelled over its banks after unusually high runoﬀ. Residents saw dramatic ﬂooding on properties west of Highway 9 at the intersection of Verdant Valley Road, however more extensive damage was caused to properties on 9th Street West that back onto the creek. The Town received an update from Alberta Transportation on the project. It said they are very close to having all documentation in place for repair to the eroded areas along Michichi

Creek. “We jumped through a whole lot of hoops,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “When we see it happen, I’ll believe, we just have to see it happen. If we have another high water situation there is going to be some loss there.” To get the project on the radar, Yemen said council and administration lobbied tirelessly. Because it is a waterway, it involved a number of levels of approval including provincial departments, as well as Fisheries and Oceans Canada. In October The Mail reported that Yemen wrote a strongly worded letter to MP Kevin Sorenson urging swift action. The Town has granted Alberta Transportation to use the grass lane near the creek to haul in

equipment and material to compete the project. A design is in place and Ledcor has agreed to take on the project. There are a couple permits that need to be

in place before construction begins. The work would take about three weeks to complete, depending on weather.

Property Rights Task Force hears Albertan concerns Michael James | inSide Drumheller

Geoff Bourrie “It’s a good concept. I’d do it if there was a large movement of people doing it as well. As an individual it would be too hard with kids. Hats off to her for doing that.”

Katherine Hunter “That’s crazy. No, I couldn’t do it. I could get rid of a lot of stuff, but not everything.’

The Property Rights Task Force created by Premier Allison Redford is coming to the Hanna Legion Hall on January 16 at 6:30 p.m. The Task Force wants to hear from property owners. “We’re travelling across the province. We’ve tried to divide it up to make sure we cover the entire province, especially areas we’ve heard issues before,” said Diana McQueen, the Minister of Environment and Water. “We’re looking forward to our time in Hanna.” The task force was created in November, 2011 and the purported goal is to ensure that the government better understands, respects, and acknowledges the rights of landowners. McQueen is chair of the task force and Evan Berger, the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, is vice chair.

“We’re travelling across the province. We’ve tried to divide it up to make sure that we cover the entire province, especially areas that we’ve heard issues before.” Diana McQueen

opportunity to listen and hear from Albertans. It’s about honouring that commitment,” said McQueen. To keep her commitment, Premier Redford tasked MLA’s to go out into the province and listen intently to the concerns and issues Albertans have and bring those issues to the attention of the government. The Property Rights Task Force is an eﬀort to understand the concerns landowners have about their rights, especially in the face of aggressive oil and natural gas procurement. “The meetings are open to all Albertans and it’s about issues or concerns they may have about property rights in general and solutions they can bring forward. Some of the themes we’ve heard are about consultation, compensation, and, depending on where you are, landowners are talking about things on their property more speciﬁcally, such as wells.” Other concerns are about current pieces of legislation such as the Land Assembly Act, Land Stewardship Act, and the Electric Statutes Amendment Act. Communities that have been visited so far include Grimshaw, Grande Prairie, St. Paul, Westlock, Olds, and Rocky Mountain House. After Hanna, there are three more stops in Brooks, Medicine Hat, and Lethbridge. “I think one of the great opportunities we have here is to listen to the ideas people have about consultation and how we do that and engage people. They’ve been great turnouts,

Diana McQueen, the Minister of Environment and Water and chair of the Property Rights Task Force, wants to hear from Albertans. The task force was created in November to hear the concerns of Albertans in regards property rights. Some concerns are consultation, compensation, and oil and gas structures on property. Six communities have been visited so far, and the next stop is Hanna on Monday, January 16, at 6:30 p.m. Residents of the area are encouraged to attend or make their thoughts heard through an online survey at alberta.ca/PropertyRights/ index, or via mail, or toll free at 310-4455.

we’re really happy with the number of people who have come out. They’ve been great in sharing their views,” said McQueen. “We’re hearing really good feedback from people.” The meetings run a little dif-

ferently than the average town hall style meeting. Attendees break into small groups to discuss issues and then later everyone comes together and each person is given a chance to be heard. “We’re doing a little bit of a different format so everyone has an opportunity to have their voices heard. We’ve had great feedback that everyone has been liking this process,” said McQueen. By the end of next week, the meetings will have concluded. Afterwards all of the thoughts, concerns, and ideas from the meetings, emails, mail, and telephone calls are collected. The data will then be put into a report due on January 31. McQueen could not speculate on the long term result of the ﬁndings. “We’ll bring together all the information, ideas, and concerns that people raised,” said McQueen. “I know our Premier will work with government to take action on that report.” Landowners are encouraged to attend the meeting on January 16 at 6:30 p.m. in the Hanna Legion Hall. If unable to attend, more information and instructions to submit feedback online or by mail can be found at alberta.ca/PropertyRights/index. Your input can also be given by phoning, toll free, 310-4455. McQueen wants as many Albertans to come forward as possible. “We are encouraging people to be open and come forward with their concerns.”

HAPPENINGS Airdrie filmmaker chooses Drumheller to shoot sci-fi mystery Michael James| inSide Drumheller Residents living across the street from the new Elim Pentecostal Church, formerly Central School, may have noticed some strange things afoot at the building during the months of December and January. Large gatherings outside the church at night, people running around with cameras, weird uniforms, guns, and shouting would have given anyone peering out their front window some confusion. Fortunately, nothing unseemly was happening, the clandestine activities were the principal photography of a new movie being filmed in Drumheller. Remember, a new movie by Airdrie based MovieMakers, was shot using the scenic badlands as a background for the science fiction tale of mystery and deception. The story follows Captain Carl Onoway, played by Justin Lewis, an animation specialist who has won contests for his acting ability. Captain Onoway is charged with protecting children in a near future where parents are no longer allowed to keep their children. Instead, the state takes children away from their parents at birth to raise in state run facilities. “It came from Plato’s Republic, not totally, but that’s where the idea comes from,” said Greg Lammiman, producer and cofounder of MovieMakers. In Republic, a dialogue between philosophers explores the ideas of justice, utopia, and the role of the state. One of the ideas was that parents should be selectively bred and their children be raised by the wise philosopher kings. Another aspect to the state run future in Remember is the use of memory blocking drugs. Whenever a person suffers a traumatic incident they are given drugs so they no longer remember what had happened. The drugs then became another tool used by the state to control its citizens. “What if it got out of hand, that every time people had uncomfortable memories, they would just take the drugs and it became pervasive. You would have a weak society and the government could use that to control the masses,” said Greg. The events begin when Captain Onoway suffers another traumatic incident and is forced to up his dosage of the memory blocking drug. When someone begins freeing children from the state run facilities, it is up to Onoway to investigate and stop them. “It’s got a lot of elements in there and a lot of interesting twists,” said Greg. Starring alongside Lewis is Rachel Peacock, whom some may know from the Rosebud Theatre, as Carl’s wife Wendy Onoway. Scott Heatcoat plays Onoway’s partner Lieutenant Andrew Turner. There are many other faces that some will recognize from Rosebud Theatre or Passion Play, and are providing support roles in the movie. “We know a lot of Rosebud people, which gives us an acting

pool, and we’ve been in the Passion Play for eight years as a family, so we have a lot of connections with actors that way,” said Greg. The entire movie is being filmed in Drumheller, utilizing the town’s world famous scenery to add an otherwordly element to the film. “It’s a great setting for a sci-fi, especially with the snow. I love how it looks with the snow,” Dallas Lammiman, the young filmmaker directing the project. Much of the outdoor shooting took place around the Passion Play site in December. Indoor shooting was done primarily in the Elim Pentecostal Church. The church, because it is such an old building, was chosen for the many different looks, going from a dormitory, to prison,

to police headquarters within a few metres. “What a facility, there are so many different looks in the building it makes it look like so many different locations,” said Greg. MovieMakers was created in 2006 by Dallas and his father Greg. Soon after, the whole family became involved. The business has focused mostly on educational films, such as The Amazing Map, Subitize Me, and Movie Making 101. Remember will be their first feature length fictional film. “That has been the goal since day one. We started with the educational films and then some documentary films. September came around and we decided to take the plunge. We’re amazed how it’s all come together,” said

Greg. Filmmaking hasn’t been a lifelong dream for the young filmmaker, but a passion for the arts led Dallas inexorably down the path of movie making. “Sixteen was when I decided this was what I wanted to go into. It had always been art, but I wasn’t sure what area. Film brings them all together, a combination of them all,” said Dallas. The inspiration for Dallas to get into filmmaking was listening to filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, whose works include movies for younger crowds, such as Spy Kids, to movies that are not for the faint of heart, such as Planet Terror or Machete. Dallas credits the commentary by Rodriguez in Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams as giving him the motivation to start making movies. “The commentary didn’t talk so much about the movie itself, it was more talking to young filmmakers and encouraging them,” said Greg. When asked what advice he would give to young filmmakers, as Rodriguez had done, Dallas replied that young filmmakers get too hung up on equipment,

rather than making a good story. “Generally you just go out and do it. With the equipment, there are not a lot of barriers to entry anymore. It’s a minor thing though, if you’ve got a good story, equipment doesn’t matter,” said Dallas. “It’s more about the creativity of the individual holding the camera.” Dallas does not have formal education in cinematography, but is passionate about learning through books, movies, and with the help of a community of indie ﬁlmmakers with as much enthusiasm as he. Remember has resumed shooting after taking a break for the holidays. Filming should be complete by the end of January, followed by post production work, and release scheduled later this year. “We’re hoping it won’t take more than six months to edit, but sometimes things get out of hand,” said Dallas. For more information about the movie or to pre-order a copy, visit its website www.remembermovie.com or the Remember Facebook page.

The movie follows Captain Onoway as he tries to apprehend the person who has been freeing children in a near future where children are raised by the state and memory blocking drugs help the state control its citizens.

Korean students fly home with Albertan perspective Michael James | inSide Drumheller

Korean students who had been attending class at Drumheller Valley Secondary School and working in local hotels and salons have flown home as of December 22 with a new, Albertan, education. The students came to Drumheller to learn English and gain new insight into the fields of hospitality and cosmotology. They will be taking their new skills home with the hopes of advancing their careers. “This was a new venture for us,” said Curtis Lapierre, principal of DVSS. “Overall, this program was successful.” The students attended class at DVSS until December and then matched, based on their skills and interests, to local businesses. Some were sent to hotels to learn the ins and outs, others spent time doing aesthetic services. “When they first were going around asking us to take students, I wasn’t enthusiastic. But, we agreed to take a student, and they picked Emily, who had done cosmotology and had experience in a spa,” said Patrice Wolf, owner of the Heartwood Inn and Spa. “Oh my god we loved her. She was the best worker I’ve ever had here.” “It was interesting to have them. They were pleasant young people, and for the most part willing,” said Theresa Vyvey, manager of the Ramada Inn.

There were some diﬃculties however. “The language barrier was hard on them and us too, because there’s a lot more you’d like to share with them or to help them with,” said Vyvey. “Despite that hurdle, the program was successful. For all of the students, their English did improve, especially their comprehension, but where they struggled was their ability to speak it,” said Lapierre. Lapierre explained that next year the program will be far better. There will be more time to develop cours-

es and hire staﬀ. Potential students may also be given coursework to help them learn English prior to coming. One initiative might be to host a workshop for participating businesses in how to communicate through a language barrier. No new students will be coming to Drumheller in January, but DVSS may be welcoming a new crew of Korean students in September. “I would get involved in the program again,” said Vyvey. “It was a really good learning experience. I think the international

students they bring in is great for Drumheller. Mr. Lapierre and the rest of the teachers really took it seriously and made sure those kids had a great Canadian experience,” said Wolf. “I would be the ﬁrst person in line to take another student.” Some of the students have hinted they might return to Canada in the future. “The students had a wonderful experience, they would absolutely love to come back,” said Lapierre. “If Emily ever came back to Canada, I would hire her in a minute,” said Wolf.

Breaking up with tobacco is hard to do Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

They say that breaking up is hard to do. For some, their relationship with tobacco can span decades, and often outlast relationships. Breaking up is hard to do is the theme of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Non-Smoking Week from January 15-21 and for many that is a reality. While National Non-Smoking Week in Drumheller often focuses on youth activities warning of the dangers of tobacco and strategies for not starting, this year tobacco reduction/addictions councillor for Alberta Health Services Martin McSween said they are planning to talk to older populations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are going to start the week oďŹ&#x20AC; by connecting with seniors and talking about National Non-Smoking Week, the QuitCore program and other options,â&#x20AC;? said McSween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are dealing with a population that is now 17 per cent in Canada and there are hardcore smokers, people who have been smoking for a long time and people who are just starting. There are youth still interested, still engaging, thinking they are cool. On the senior side, there are lots with old habits that are entrenched and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the need to change.â&#x20AC;?

Resident recaptures magic of outdoor rink Michael James | inSide Drumheller

The concept of the backyard skating rink may have melted away, but Drumheller resident Pat Doyle resurrected the idea a few years ago and created his own ice surface. The backyard rink conjures up fond memories for anyone who has skated upon a sheet of makeshift ice. But the prevalence of such rinks has dimin-

day you knew kids would be there if they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing organized hockey,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Wood, educational director for the Drumheller Dragons. The house Wood so fondly remembers was that of Helen and Eric Holm, who routinely built a backyard rink for everyone to enjoy. It has been years since those days and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perception that the backyard rinks have been disappearing. However, Doyle worked hard to recapture the magic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a rink in the back of my house for the past ďŹ ve years,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. Five winters ago Doyle decided to build a skating rink in his backyard. The process involves making a base of snow, watering it to a slush consistency, letting it settle and freeze, and then water to make a solid layer of ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial set up is the hard part, but after that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all gravy, It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much to maintain once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up and running,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. The advantages of the backyard rink are that it allows for a more relaxed skating atmosphere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad we have the rink, kids are glad. We use it at night, because I have lights on it. I can get home from work,

ished as time has passed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a kid I skated on sloughs and my dad and my neighbour always made a backyard rink and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always been involved in hockey,â&#x20AC;? said Pat Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to do a lot in a backyard rink on 5th Street. It was a lot of fun. We used to have all the kids in the neighbourhood come over all day on Saturdays. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unorganized. Every Satur-

The backyard rink of Pat Doyle provides a safe and relaxed atmosphere for him and his family to skate any time they wish, whether it be spending time on the weekend or skating after a long day of work. Historically, backyard rinks were an important gathering place for children and some residents recall days spent hanging out at a neighbours rink. The prevalence of backyard rinks may be waning, as parents and children opt for using the community rinks scattered through town.

plug in the lights, and away we go. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at home, so if we get cold we can go in the house. We can make a split decision and do it,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. Backyard skating rinks also provides a great environment to teach young ones, or older folks, how to skate for the ďŹ rst time. There are no distractions and the pressure of skating around others is not there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to teach your kid to skate, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just you and your kid so you can concentrate,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit more intimate.â&#x20AC;? There are, of course, community rinks scattered around the Valley, used for a casual skating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re used quite extensively, and because of that, is there a need for people to have them in their own yards,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the kids who are involved in hockey, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always at the outdoor rink.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to have so many rinks. The community rinks that are here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy enough to set some regulations when pucks are allowed or not,â&#x20AC;? said Wood. There are currently community rinks in East Coulee, Midland, Newcastle, and Nacmine. The weather recently has undone some of the hard work that Doyle, or anyone else who has made their own rink, has put into their backyard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, the weather hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been cooperating. We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used it since just after Christmas. The ice is really soft, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to damage it,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle. Winter is not over yet. A recent cold snap will be another opportunity for the skating rinks, both community and backyard, to refreeze and be enjoyed by young and old alike.

Increased requisition only option for Seniors Foundation Michael James | inSide Drumheller

At the January 3, 2012, meeting of Town Council, Councillor Tom Zariski, Vice Chairman of the Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation, presented the results of a recent corporate study conducted on the Seniors Foundation. One of the recommendations from the study was that the foundation increase its requisition from the Town by a gigantic $100,000 per year. The increase would bring the total requisition for this year to $575,000.

“Costs have gone up more than we can charge for rent,” said Councillor Zariski. “Our mandate is to provide for the seniors of this community a good quality of life. These are the seniors who have built the community and they deserve our support now.” Councillor Zariski explained that the costs of the Seniors Foundation have steadily increased due to the rising population of seniors, but the provincial government has not increased its contribution to seniors care. Concerns about the ﬁnancial outlook of the foundation have

KC's assist Cenotaph relocation Chief financial secretary of the local Knights of Columbus, Ray Dumaine, presented a cheque Thursday afternoon for $500.00 to Stan Baird, Chairman of the Cenotaph Relocation Committee. This money represents the final moneys raised for the Drumheller Legion's share of the Cenotaph Relocation Project, completed in November. Total raised by the committee was $23,000.00, which is half of the total cost to relocate the Cenotaph. The donated funds are a result of ticket sales for the club's annual charity appeal raffle. inSide photo by O.R. Sheddy

been brewing for some time. The number of seniors who rely on the foundation continues to swell. The critical realization that the foundation was headed for trouble came when the foundation had to increase its $35,000 line of credit to $150,000 last year. The foundation is also in danger of running at a significant deficit in the near future. “We discovered a couple years ago that the foundation has been in place for years but hasn’t changed with the times. The foundation is static,” said Councillor Zariski. To help address these concerns, the foundation hired Pommen Associates to do a corporate analysis as part of the foundation’s reorganization and revitalization process. “We have their report, and they’ve made a few recommendations in terms of restructuring,” said Councillor Zariski. “Overall they found the operation of the foundation is quite efficient, but we are implementing a few of the changes they have recommended to make us even more efficient.” Pommen found that the foundation already runs on a skeleton crew of staff, has little room to increase revenue due to high occupancy, and cannot reduce its debt payments. The foundations’ total debt is around $7 million and $550, 000 is paid annually in principal and interest. The only option to ensure the budget was balanced, Pommen recommended, was increasing the amount of money the foundation requisitions from the municipalities in the area by an additional $100, 000 per year. Other recommendations from

Sunshine Lodge may be seeing some changes soon. The Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation have received the results of a corporate study conducted on them. The chief recommendation of the study was to increase the foundations’ requisition from municipalities by $100,000 per year. This year the total requisition will be $575,000. The money will ensure that seniors receive a high quality of life. The foundation will also be investigating improving current facilities to better accommodate residents. inSide photo by Michael James

Pommen included improving the structure of the foundation and creating a reserve fund. Now, the foundation is looking forward and developing short and long term business plans that will ensure seniors in the area will have a high quality of life in the years to come. A priority for the near future will be to build a reserve fund. Traditionally, the foundation has relied on its line of credit to pay for any unexpected costs, such as replacing the water heater that broke down last year. Another priority will be to investigate the infrastructure of the seniors accommodations and make any improvements. “Infrastructure that we have, the original Sunshine Lodge, is old and it’s at the point now

where it’s not particularly suitable. We’re looking at different scenarios to make sure our infrastructure will fit our clientele and the clientele we will have in two, three, five years from now.” The Seniors Foundation has reached a turning point in its operations. Considering the population of seniors in Canada it is expected to rise, greater pressure will fall on the Seniors Foundation to continue to fulfill its mandate of providing safe, affordable, and high quality housing for seniors. “I think it was necessary in that it reinforced that we are doing a good job,” said Councillor Zariski. “But, it also opened our eyes to some of the things that we could be and should be looking at for the future.”

For the last seven years February has been busy for Cathy Morse at the Chop Shop as the shop hosts Cuts 4 Cancer. The event in dedication of Morseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, has raised thousands of dollars for the Drumheller Area Health Foundation and, in turn, the whole community that uses the hospital. This year they are hoping to raise $30,000. Last year they raised about $25,000, so it is entirely possible. The idea is simple, walk into the Chop Shop on February 3 and get a haircut. The funds you pay go directly to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation. Of course there are a few that go that one step further, and put a bounty on their hair. The Chop Shop has lined up a number of heads to go under the razor to make that happen. Over the last few months residents may have noticed Cathyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cousin Ken Schinnour of Allied Distributors getting a little shaggy. That is because he is going to shave it all oďŹ&#x20AC; at the annual

event come February 3. He laughs that his goal is not to freeze after his locks are shorn, but he hopes to raise $5,000 along the way. A famous moustache is about to drop come Cuts 4 Cancer as David Lee has put a bounty on his famous handlebars. So far he has raised about $2,000, and counting. Brent Powell of Newcastle Bar has also put his locks on the line and is hoping to raise $1,000. Patsy Andrew at the Drumheller Health

Centre is also losing her locks for the cause. Titans Football will join the Chop Shop again this year. Last year the team participated and this year they are back. Morse says she has commitment from all members of the championship senior team, including coaches Ken Fournier and Jason Rasmussen, as well as 13 of the bantams. Pledge sheets are still available at the Chop Shop for those interested in participating in raising funds.

Dynos Girls battle flu and foes in Brooks tournament Michael James | inSide Drumheller

The Dynos Sr. Girls basketball team was on the road this past weekend, participating in the Sr. girls basketball tournament in Brooks on January 6 and 7. The Dynos were missing a few players and had a tough time advancing through the tournament. “We only had ﬁve girls on Friday and six on Saturday,” said Ryan Hatch, head coach of the girls Dynos. “The girls were really tired by the end.”

Quite a few players were unable to play because of a ﬂu that’s been working its way through the team. Because school had not yet resumed after Christmas, the girls did not have a chance to practice prior to the tournament. Many of the other teams had already returned to school. Seven other teams from Brooks, Camrose, Canmore, Medicine Hat, Mount Baker, Taber, and Wetaskiwin participated in the tournament. “Some of these teams are quite

a bit bigger than us, they come from town’s with a bigger population,” said Hatch. “It’s a good tournament to get us back playing after the Christmas break.” On January 6 the Dynos took to the court against Wetaskiwin, who ﬁnished in third overall, and were defeated. The Dynos only had ﬁve players, which meant no substitutions were available. “They did awesome until they got to the fourth quarter and then

they got so tired. They couldn’t foul, because we only had ﬁve girls. They couldn’t be as aggressive,” said Hatch. The next day the girls battled for seventh place against Medicine Hat, but late into the game fatigue set in again and the Dynos barely lost. “They played really hard, they did pretty awesome. It helps our girls, makes them play and push themselves harder,” said Hatch.

The girls Dynos will be back in action this weekend, participating in a tournament in Chestemere on January 13 and 14. Many of the same teams will be in this tournament as well, giving the Dynos a chance to play with their full strength. “Hopefully we’ll have our full squad there,” said Hatch. “It will make a huge diﬀerence.”

FERRARI HAS HIGH-SPEED HOPES FOR CANADIAN TEEN

Just call Lance Stroll the Test Tube Driver. Canada’s most famous 13-year-old athlete might be better known in Italy than in Toronto’s Little Italy; his name and face more recognized in Rome than in Regina. But then again, Stroll doesn’t play hockey or golf or baseball or football or one of the traditional Canadian sports. Rather, the son of a Montreal car dealer is being groomed as the next superstar Formula One driver by Ferrari, one of the world’s top racing companies. Still three years away from being able to legally drive on Canadian highways, Stroll — though currently being allowed to train at relatively safe speeds in the 130-150 km/h range — will soon be racing at breath-taking speeds as high as 300 km/h (185 miles per hour) against the world’s best drivers. The Toronto Globe and Mail featured Stroll in a recent sports-front feature, telling the tale of Ferrari discovering him after he’d had a series of successes on the North American go-kart circuit when he was nine years old. At that age, the Globe story said, he was winning as many as 70 per cent of his races (a ridiculously high ratio) against racers three and four years older. As fate would have it, Ferrari was planning a program to mould a future champion driver from a young age. Ferrari’s plan and Stroll’s success fit together about as perfectly as a driver squeezing into a Formula One vehicle cockpit. Stroll’s family is wealthy, which allowed him to participate in a rather expensive sport as a pre-teen, but they’re also not dumb. They realize the dangers inherent in racing at speeds approaching 300 km/h, and are aware that 45 drivers have died in the 61-year history of the sport. “You watch him and you watch him and you begin to find a comfort level over time,” the Globe story quoted his father, Lawrence, as saying. “(The worry) is never gone, but you just learn to live with that.” At the Ferrari driving academy in Italy, Lance works daily with gymnastics experts who deal with coordination and muscle-building, nutritionists, racing strategists and then spends time in the “mind room,” where, the Globe story says, he is taught ”to stay calm under pressure.” Will it all pay off? The results of Ferrari’s efforts won’t be known for five or six years, but if Lance Stroll becomes an F1 champion driver, mark it down to human laboratory success. • R.J.

Dragons emphasize defense at trade deadline Michael James | inSide Drumheller

QUOTE

Mitch Owsley, the Drumheller Dragons top goal scorer, has been traded to the Dragons southern division rivals, the Olds Grizzlys as of January 10. In return, the Dragons were given future considerations. The Dragons also received a player at the trade deadline. Darian Henry, from the Everett Silvertips, is a towering defencemen who will be joining the Dragons.

Tuesday, January 10, was the trade deadline for the CHA, which includes the AJHL. The Drumheller Dragons made two deals at the deadline. One brings in imposing defenseman Darian Henry and the other sends Dragons top scorer Mitch Owsley to the rival Olds Grizzlys.

Barry Wolff

Henry is originally from Strathmore, Alberta, but is coming to Drumheller after playing for the Everett Silvertips of the Western Hockey League. At a colossal 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;4, Henry will bring his size and formidable presence to help bolster the Dragons defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big kid, 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;4", so he adds size.

make us more stable in the back end,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Barry WolďŹ&#x20AC;. Henry was drafted by the Silvertips in the seventh round of the 2009 WHL Bantam draft. From there, Henry played for the Keystone Raiders of the Alberta AAA Minor Midget League and won the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Best Defenseman Award. In the 2010-2011 season Henry played for the UFA Bisons AAA Midget team. Henry was brought on to the Silvertips for the 20112012 season. The other deal sent Owsley to the Grizzlys. Owsley, a forward, has played 40 games with the Dragons and is their top scorer, with 12 goals and 10 assists. In exchange, the Dragons received future considerations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a top six forward and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be happy in the role we had for him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good player, he needs to be in the top six, and Olds had that opportunity. Down the road heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a really good player and this was the best thing for him.â&#x20AC;? Owsley will play his ďŹ rst game for the Grizzlys on Friday, January 13, and will play against his former teammates the next night in Olds.
