OPINION Baby Molly makes a New Year’s entrance O.R.Sheddy Mail editor
While Dad Ryan Gillespie and Mom Kellee Freimark set the stage, it was Baby Molly who made a grand entrance at 12:39 on January 1, making her Drumheller’s 2014 New Year’s Baby. She tipped the scales at 7 pounds, 15 ounces, and was delivered by Drumheller physycian Dr. Derek Maseka. Molly was originally supposed to appear somewhere close to January 9, but at the thought of winning a host of prizes offered
by local merchants, she surprised her mom and dad, who run a ranching operation at Finnegan Alberta, east of Drumheller. Happy grand-parents are Cameron and Laurie Gillespie and Tony and Lorraine Freimark. Ryan and Kellee had arrived at the Drumheller Hospital early December 31 at around 5 a.m., but Molly was determined to wait until after midnight before being born. Ryan, being a hockey fan, was able to catch a lot of the hockey games on television
waiting for Molly, and said that his Dad Cameron was doing the chores at the family ranch near Finnigan, while the family was in Drumheller. Dozens of gifts await the family, donated by local merchants. Prize supporters include: Yavis Family Restaurant, Wade’s Jewellery, Hi-Way 9 Express, Vietnamese Noodle House, Jerry’s Liquor Store, Canadian Tire, Sears Drumheller, WHIFS Flapjack House, Sunrise Auto Sales, Boston Pizza, Extra Foods, Dairy Queen, Fred And Barney’s Family Res-

Delia area man injured in explosion Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Ron Prather “Cheaper Fuel.”
A man south of Delia was airlifted to Calgary after being injured in explosion. The Delia Fire Department responded to the farm on New Year’s Day. STARS 1, out of Calgary, was dis-
patched that afternoon. Reports are the explosion occurred when the man was heating equipment with a propane torch. The reported 54-year-old man, was taken to a Calgary hospital with undetermined injuries. No one else was hurt in the explosion.
“Maybe I’ll buy myself a new truck,” says lotto winner Spencer Aulenback “Finishing the school year.”

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A Valley man has 500,000 reasons to have a great 2014. The 80 year old Drumheller man who wishes to remain anonymous, is a MaxMillion winner. On a LottoMax draw he shared a $1 million MaxMillion prize with another winner, setting the senior up for life. “I play every week, it just so happens that I was lucky. Apparently the odds are very big,” said the happy winner. He is a regular player, but this by far was his biggest
win. The retiree doesn’t’ foresee this changing his life in any significant way. “The plans are very simple, stay around the house, fix it up a little bit and give some to the kids, that’s pretty much it,” he tells inSide Drumheller. “Maybe I’ll buy myself a new truck.” When pressed, he imagines there may be a vacation or two down the line. LottMax has been good to the valley. Just weeks ago, it was announced Tom Crist, who grew up in Drumheller, was a $42 million winner. In 2009, Don Cunningham of Rosedale was a $1 million MaxMillion winner.
More shoveling Ofelia Galleon was busy shovelling to try and get her sidewalk cleared on Wednesday after more snowfall in Drumheller.

Town passes Utility Rate Bylaw Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Drumheller Town Council set its 2014 Utility Rate Bylaw before the year end. Council held a special meeting om December 23, to approve the bylaw which calls for a ďŹ ve per cent increase. Three per cent goes toward recovering the
total cost of the utility, while two per cent goes into a reserve to maintain the system. “It is a self funding utility,� said Mayor Terry Yemen, adding that Drumheller has been progressive in making this a reality, while other communities have not taken the necessary steps to begin fully funding their
water and wastewater utilities. This means for a typical residential hook-up, the base charge goes from $11 to $11.55, and each cubic meter charge goes from $1.4008 to $1.4708. On the wastewater side, the base rate goes from $11.50 to $12.08 and the meted rate goes from
$1.8500 to $1.9424 per cubic meter, based on 80 per cent consumption. This means a household that uses 15 cubic metes of water a month would see the bill go from $65.77 to $68.80. The rate comes in to eect on January 1.

TOWN OF DRUMHELLER Happy New Year! FROM THE TOWN OF DRUMHELLER. We have resumed regular hours beginning on January 2, 2014.
??????DID YOU KNOW?????? Did you know that it is against a town bylaw to  shovel snow onto town streets from your driveway or property?  There already is a lot of snow this winter please be considerate and do not push it onto the streets. It creates obstacles for your neighbors and further issues for vehicles on town streets. If anyone has any questions please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363.
AND DID YOU ALSO KNOW????? Members of the bylaw office are concerned about stray or lost cats out in the cold weather. If you have an unfamiliar cat perhaps hanging around your home or area kindly call the bylaw office so members can try and catch it and hopefully return it to its owner.  If it is indeed lost and if an owner cannot be found at least  then the cat will not be out in the cold weather and efforts can be taken to try and find it a new home. Animals need more food in the cold weather and it is doubtful that a stray or lost cat is getting an adequate amount of food. Please call Greg Peters at the bylaw office at 823-1363 if you have questions or would like more information.  Thanks. If anyone would like further information or discuss any of the topics above please call Greg Peters of bylaw at town hall 8231363. Thanks. Please call Greg at 403-823-1363 for more information.
Protect Your Pets Pet Owners can now purchase their 2014 pet licenses. We urge them to do so as it makes tracking a lost or found pet easier. For further information call Greg at 403-823-1363 or email GPeters@dinosaurvalley.com

Tyrrell adds familiar face to research team Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Royal Tyrrell Museum’s new face on the research team is a familiar one. Caleb Brown has been selected for a post doctoral fellowship at the Tyrrell Museum. Brown is originally from Red Deer, and he completed his Bachelor and Master degrees at the University of Calgary. He did his Ph.D at the University of Toronto. There he researched horned dinosaurs, looking at the variations and change of shapes of the frills. He graduated about a month ago. “I worked here in the prep lab when I was doing my undergrad at the University of Calgary, so it is nice to come back,â€? said Brown. The posting is for two years and he replaces Dr. Mike Newbrey who has accepted teaching position at Columbus State University in Georgia. He likes the atmosphere at the Tyrrell. “The main dierence is the Tyrrell really has that role or obligation of going out and collecting the material; collecting the fossils, preparing them, storing them, and then also doing the research. At
university, it is more focused on doing the research and not as much focus on the ďŹ eld work or taking care of the fossil resources,â€? said Brown, adding the Tyrrell’s public outreach and gallery plays a large role in sharing the science and capturing imagination. For Brown, his imagination was sparked by the Red Deer River Valley. “I grew up in the river area and when I was young I was exposed to the fossils in this river valley very early, in the area around here and further south in Dinosaur Provincial Park. Once I saw those fossils, I was hooked, I never wanted to be anything else,â€? he said. To be selected for this fellowship, he proposed a couple projects. One is to look at horned dinosaurs in some of the mass grave bone beds in Dinosaur Provincial Park to study the variations. “The second project deals with the way dinosaurs are preserved,â€? he said. “I am trying to show how the process of fossilization changes our understanding of communities or ecosystems.â€?

Small and medium-sized businesses impacted by the June floods will now have until June 30, 2014 to apply for help under the Alberta Flood Recovery Programs. In response to the June floods, the Government of Alberta introduced the Hand-up plan; including loan and interest rebate programs to help Alberta’s flood affected small businesses, agricultural producers and not-for-profit organizations to get back on their feet. “We have heard concerns that small and medium-sized businesses need more time to assess their needs following this disaster. The extended deadline will give these organizations the time to properly determine and apply for the support they need to help their businesses recover,” said Doug Horner, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance. Extending the original deadline from December 31, 2013 until June 30, 2014 will enable businesses to take advantage of these programs once they have a better understanding of their needs and the future business climate in their region. Organizations are encouraged to contact their financial institutions or the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) to determine their eligibility for these programs. Information is also available online. Approximately 1,500 small businesses were directly affected by the June floods.

Sudoku Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Spielberg double bill at Napier to support Valerie Nelson medical fund
12&up - $7.50 6 to 11 - $3.00 Under 6 - Free
Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A young Drumheller resident seems to be forging his own path of giving and caring for those in need. Many in Drumheller have been following the saga of Valerie Nelson. Her work is instrumental in saving the lives of hundreds of children in Roatan. She has been struck by a mysterious infection. Residents and supporters rallied to raise funds for her medical bills. Currently with the help of supporters, she is now in Edmonton getting treatment. Some of the efforts to help her with these major expenses have included an online auction, which raised about $2,900. A crowd sourcing initiative at www.gofundeme.com has raised $2,600 and counting. Cody Makowecki has always supported the work of the Morgan Jayne Project and his friend Valerie Nelson. Without prompting, he went to his employer, Jeff and Kathy Larson of the Napier Theatre to see if there was any way they could help Nelson meet her medical bills head on. They were very supportive. “We picked the date and a couple movies and that was that,” said Cody. On Saturday, January 11, the Napier will feature a double bill. They will be screening classic films The Goonies and ET. “We wanted something that young kids and adults would enjoy watching,” said Cody. They settled on the Spielberg classics because of the universal appeal and a little bit of nostalgia. The funds from admissions will be directed towards helping Nelson with her bills. “Tickets will be regular price and all the proceeds will go to Valerie,” said Cody. The screenings begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 11. “I was simply thinking ‘what can I do to help?’” said Cody.
