Drumheller New Year’s baby first in Alberta Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Good news waits for no one and this year’s New Year’s baby was certainly good news, arriving just 15 seconds after midnight on Tuesday, January 1. Bennett Richard Ray, son of Darby and Melissa Ray and brother of Madison, 10, is Drumheller’s New Year’s Baby, born at 12:00:15. This is the earliest arrival in Drumheller in recent memory, the first in Alberta and just seconds off the national New Year’s baby. A couple in Quebec saw their pride and joy arrive just 10 seconds after midnight. Baby Bennett weighed in at 5 pounds, 11 ounces and was delivered by Dr. Laurel Smith. He was expected on January 20, however the doctor asked the couple to come in early. While they weren’t overly con-
cerned about the timing of the child’s birth, one eye was on the clock as the moment drew near. Baby and mother are doing fine. Unbeknownst to Baby Bennett, he is about to be showered with gifts from businesses, welcoming him to the community. These include: Allied Distributors, ATB Financial, Bevan Scott, Bits & Pieces Keepsake Quilting, Bold Efexx, Boston Pizza, The Brick, Canadian Tire, Century 21 Power Realty, Chinook Credit Union, Chiropractic Wellness Centre, The Co-operators, Dairy Queen, DeMott Floors, Drumheller Co-op, Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, Drumheller Public Library, Evan’s Restaurant, Fine Photography and Gifts, Fountain Tire, Fred & Barney’s Family Restaurant, Freson Bros.

Destination marketing organization moves forward Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Progress is being made to establish a destination marketing organization (DMO) for Drumheller. The Drumheller Town Council will be presented with a plan to move forward early this year. The major stakeholders for the DMO, which include the Town of Drumheller, Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, Canalta, Royal Tyrrell Museum, Atlas Coal Mine, Passion Play, Rosebud Theatre, and the Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club, met recently and are ready to move forward. “We’re moving ahead with the [Drumheller] marketing consortium acting as an interim DMO,” said Paul Salvatore, Director of Community Services for the Town of Drumheller. “We’ll give a presentation to Council with the range of activities we plan for 2013.” The focus of the group at the moment is to establish the structure of the organization and get as many businesses involved as possible. “There will be opportunities for other businesses
within the tourism sector in Drumheller to participate. One of our goals is to include more hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, campgrounds, and other operators,” said Salvatore. “We’ll be letting those groups know about opportunities to market with the interim DMO.” The group will also be looking to hire staff to run the day-to-day operations of the DMO. The
Town of Drumheller will reallocate existing funds, currently used for marketing, for administrative costs. “To be sustainable in the long term, we need to have dedicated staff that can follow through on all the activities to market and promote Drumheller,” said Salvatore. Work on establishing a DMO began late last year and was one of the major
goals highlighted by the Tourism Master Plan report Council received in the spring of 2011. The purpose of the DMO is to increase the marketability of Drumheller. “The real opportunity here is for us, as a community to put a strong backing behind promot-
ing Drumheller as a destination. A DMO will help us pool our resources, so we have a much bigger impact getting that message out,” said Salvatore. “Initially we’ll be focused on marketing, but a longer-term goal might be to identify events to help create more traffic in Drumheller.”
The goal would be to have the DMO up and running in the spring of 2013. Anyone wishing to get involved is encouraged to contact the Economic Development Officer for the Town of Drumheller, Bob Cromwell, at 403823-1320.

PUBLIC UTILITY INFORMATION
On December 17th, Council passed first reading for Bylaw 17-12 regarding the utility rates. The Bylaw provides for a 3% increase to the base rates as well as the consumption rate for the water utility only. In addition to this increase, there will be a $1 levy as an Infrastructure Investment Surcharge, and is directly added to the Capital Reserves. There is no increase in the WasteWater utility rates for 2013. A combined water and wastewater utility bill using a consumption of 19 cubic meters would cost $77.96 in December and $80.04 in January, an increase of $2.08 or 2.66%.
The Town of Drumheller will be celebrating our 100th Anniversary in 2013. The actual date of our anniversary is May 15th. The committee has developed a logo for the anniversary and we would like everyone to have the opportunity to use this logo for themselves, ie. Team badges, letterhead, swag, etc. The business world may want to mark a sale as a” Centennial Sale” or incorporate the idea of 100 or multiples thereof in the marketing of their products. We would like to have everyone to try to celebrate this special 100th anniversary of the Town in some way; privately or very publicly, whatever suits you and your family/company best. For additional information call Paul Salvatore at 403-823-1324 Christmas Tree Recycling Program Christmas trees to be delivered to the landfill by residents, all residents who deliver their trees will be entered into a draw for composters and/or water barrels (there will be 10 Winners).

HAPPY NEW YEAR DRUMHELLER WHAT A PARTY!!
Our Centennial year has begun and what a start it was. The New Year’s Eve dance for adults and party for the children was a HUGE success. Thank you to all the Volunteers and merchants who helped us entertain many people and have so much fun doing it. We had a wonderful sponsor for the kid’s party – Cenovus Energy – their donation was very much appreciated and the children had a blast staying up late and ringing in the New Year with their parents. The New Years Eve/Centennial Fireworks, put on so capably by Bill Wulff and his crew, were a hit with both young and old. We would like to thank the Caterers, Double D Caterers, for their wonderful meal. It is also our great pleasure to thank Coldstone Creamery for creating a delicious ice cream cake with our Centennial Logo on it. This centennial logo is available electronically for anyone to use when doing any events within this year. Please contact Bob Cromwell at 403-823-1320 to arrange to have it emailed or faxed for your use. Our evening was such a success due also to a wonderful performance by the band “Cat Country Cougar Hunters”. They kept the dance floor jumping all night and are truly a wonderful addition to our community. The Rotary Club offered their assistance to run the bar and did a fantastic job. A few of the special events planned at this point are the Centennial Party May 15, 2013, and a tie in with our already huge Canada Day Celebration.

It appears that crime in Drumheller may have fallen o a bit, but Sta Sergeant Art Hopkins says the number of incidents may not be the only measure of a safe community. Not all crime is created equal. “For instance, theft of a chocolate bar, when compared to a stabbing‌ a stabbing would get a higher severity value. One is property, one is person crime,â€? said Hopkins, explaining the Crime Severity Index. “When you look at the numbers, we are seeing very little dierence between 2009 and 2011. He said in 2010 however, the severity numbers are higher. He explains this is when the RCMP began to more actively arrest inmates involved in oenses at the Drumheller Institution. “This was the ďŹ rst year we started working up at the pen full-time,â€? he said. In many cases, offenses in an institutional setting, such as assaults, were higher on the severity index and they reect the numbers for all of Drumheller. “Ultimately, we are pretty consistent, save for 2010, but all in all it hasn’t changed a lot,â€? said Hopkins. He adds that since the police have been more active at the institution, instances of crime numbers have also dropped. “When you see the numbers they are pretty much the same, but technically we have dropped,â€? he said. When looking at the crime severity index, Alberta in 2011 remains about 10 points higher than the national average, but lowest in the four western provinces. Drumheller, when compared with likesized Alberta communities appeared to come up about average. Whitecourt, Ban and Edson are higher, while Innisfail and Sylvan Lake are
lower. Along with a package of crime severity, Hopkins also presented the year-to-date incident numbers to Drumheller Town Council. Overall numbers appear to be consistent and do not reveal any particular trend. Hopkins says one area where the numbers are much higher is traďŹƒc, and that is all related to enforcement. “This was the ďŹ rst summer where we had more sta ‌ and we’ve done a lot in terms of traďŹƒc enforcement,â€? said Hopkins. Provincial traďŹƒc enforcement is up 75.7 per cent from January to October. There were 1,854 incidents, compared to 1,055 in the same time period the year before.
“Our accidents are down. With increased enforcement, generally that is what happens. The reason is people slow down when we are more visible—people drive more respectfully,� said Hopkins. He said the one priority and concern going forward continues to be fraud. “That is a crime group where we can be proac-
tive as opposed to reactive in many instances. The more people talk about it the better, because every time you tell a story about a new way people are trying to separate you from your money, other people learn from it,� said Hopkins. “We have had way more attempts, but fewer successes of people getting conned out of their money.�

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Otherwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the opposite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now, Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the finish line. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Surround yourself with lots of friends when you cannot have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments.
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!
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings.

This novel has a bittersweet tone throughout. I would recommend it especially for an appreciation of autism, showing what great potential there is despite the limitations encountered on a daily basis. We are also given a look at issues such as declining resources, sustainability and the concept of “stress-free killing.” We see the impact they have on the environment. Karen sees things as totally black and white. There is nothing in between. This book is a good example for us to stop and think about how we treat others and life around us.

Deja vu strikes Dragons in second shootout loss Michael James | inSide Drumheller

day night in Fort McMurray, after taking some time o for the holidays, in a rematch against the Oil Barons. The Dragons came away with a 2-1 shootout loss. The two teams met prior to the holidays, on December 20, with the Dragons being dealt a 1-0 shootout loss. Like their previous meeting, Wednesday’s game started with both teams locked in a stalemate. After the ďŹ rst period, neither team could get past the high caliber performances
of both goalies. Tempers exploded 13 minutes into the second period after Matt Purmal of the Oil Barons was called for checking from behind. Hunter Mills and Adam Danyluk of the Dragons, and two Oil Barons were handed penalties for ďŹ ghting and slapped for misconduct. It might have been the spark that was needed, because only seconds later, Tyler Kerner, o of Christopher Rauckman and Dakota Zaharichuk, scored the Dragons’ only goal of
the night and put them ahead 1-0. The Dragons held on to their lead until Mitchell Cook was called for checking from behind and given a game misconduct. The penalty put the Dragons into a short handed situation with only 11 minutes left in the game. The Oil Barons pounced on the opportunity. Forty seconds into the penalty kill, the Oil Barons ďŹ nally broke through the Dragons’ defence and the solid goaltending of Adam
Beukeboom. The goal tied the game up at one apiece. From there, neither team could take the upper hand and the game went into a scoreless overtime. Like their last meeting, only a shootout could declare the victor. The Dragons sent out Colton Vannucci, Ryan Bloom, and Christopher Rauckman. None could penetrate the Oil Barons’ net. Beukeboom stonewalled the ďŹ rst two shooters, but the ďŹ nal shooter broke through,
giving the Oil Barons the victory. The Dragons still earned a point from the game and are currently tied with the Okotoks Oilers at 42 apiece. The team will be looking to break away from the Oilers over the weekend when they take on the Bonnyville Pontiacs tonight and the Lloydminster Bobcats tomorrow evening. They then will return home on Wednesday, January 9, to host the rival Oilers.
