Town creates hill proposal, season could be saved if accepted Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
After long discussion Tuesday, Drumheller Town Council decided to offer the 1997 Drumheller Valley Ski Club a shortterm lease agreement, which would be terminated at the end of April. The lease would see the club paying their outstanding debt to the town. The motion made by councillor Jay Garbutt included conditions which would see the club pay $30,342 for their outstanding water bills, a $3,600 deposit for water lasting until the end of April, and $2,000 for the replacement of the water meter at the site. The total amount asked to be paid is $35,942. The proposal includes a no sale of land clause. Ski hill general manager Zrinko Amerl said he must wait for the proposal to be delivered before he could say if the club will accept the offer. The proposal was said to be delivered prior to January 7, Mayor Terry Yemen told inSide Drumheller. Amerl said he was disappointed in council’s decision to not allow the sale of land in the agreement, as it “does impair my ability to run the ski hill.”
Council moved to offer the 1997 Drumheller Valley Ski Club a short-term lease agreement, which would expire at the end of April and see the club pay all outstanding water bills, provide a deposit for
“But I do see that priority number one is to see the hill in operation,” said Amerl. “The ski club and Ski the Badlands Ltd. will do everything to see that happens.” “We’re trying to facilitate skiing, so it’s positive action to salvage up what is left of the ski season,” said Yemen. “We’re responsible for the assets, and this way, we still have control of the land.” The short-term lease

agreement would expire at the end of April, because the town wishes to see the results of two known court actions against the ski hill before committing a long term deal. A contracting company out of Airdrie has civil action against the hill for bills not paid, and a lawsuit spurred by a chairlift accident is still standing against the club. “In the long run, maybe we were too cautious. Maybe not. You can never

tell,” said Yemen. “By offering this lease, it provides all parties the opportunity to benefit from the ski season and give all parties more time to resolve outstanding issues." Yemen says the club can either accept the terms in the proposal, or there is no deal. Look in next week’s Drumheller Mail for the results of this proposal and the fate of the 2011 ski season.
World’s Largest Dinosaur sees maintenance this week Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
Ken Betts “Paul Henderson’s ‘Goal Heard Around the World.’”
Drumheller’s beloved dinosaur is undergoing some maintenance this week, as Palcoprep works to clean out the mouth of the World’s Largest Dinosaur and fix some wrecked exhibits in its tall stairwell. Garbage, coins, and even rocks had been left around the glass walls in the mouth of the beast, causing some water drainage problems.
Over the years, visitors have also ripped off the bone casts lining the walls of the towering stairwell. Palcoprep, a local company specializing in fossil cast creation, took on the job of fixing up the valley’s most iconic attraction. “Returning visitors will definitely see a difference,” said Palcoprep’s Frank Hadfield, adding a new exhibit, a dinosaur dig pit, is being installed halfway up the stairs.
“The mouth of the dinosaur will be more pleasing to the eye.” Palcoprep is planning on addressing a new paint job in the spring, with Hadfield explaining the fiberglass on the steel building is subject to cracking in high winds, comparing it to cracks on a hard-boiled egg. “It’s hard to believe she’s 10 years old already,” Hadfield says, “but there are cracks everywhere.”
All you can do is keep up with work before it gets out of hand, Hadfield says. “It’s inevitable in a structure of this size.” The World’s Largest Dinosaur will be closed until next Friday as she undergoes the fix-up. World’s Largest Dinosaur employee Debbie Schinnour says a complete re-painting of the dinosaur will be completed in the coming years.

first time since closing in 2008. New gym, new library, new administration offices, new kitchen – the entire building has changed, and for the better. The list of improvements is long: larger band room, larger gym with new floors, bleachers, score clock, and weight room, a new library which houses the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s Lillian, a new welding program, a bigger fashion room, a state of the art kitchen with TV displays, every classroom is now fitted with an interactive SmartBoard, and new cafeteria equipment. “The idea behind this school was to be highly efficient and green,” says Principal Curtis LaPierre. Lights turn off when rooms are empty, natural light helps cut energy bills, and new kitchen equipment out of the dreams of any wannabe chef.
“There has been talk among staff on ways to deliver better and healthier food options,” LaPierre says while showing off the kitchen’s convection ovens and new appliances. The cosmetology, construction, welding, and foods rooms not only provide state-of-the-art spaces– with these specialized classes, the school can bring in journeyman instructors, which equals more funding per student enrolled. A cosmetology instructor is already lined up, LaPierre has his ticket in culinary arts, and the hiring of a welding instructor is in the works. While boxes were still taped up Tuesday morning, work will be done over the next month as students and staff get adjusted to their new environment. The public is invited to attend DVSS’ grand opening ceremony on Saturday, February 18 at 2:00 p.m.

Yvonne Elizabeth Graham (nee Desbiens)
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
July 1, 1919 - January 4, 2011 It is with a great sense of sadness and loss that the family of Yvonne Elizabeth Graham of Drumheller, Alberta, announce her graceful passing on Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at the age of 91 years. Mom was born July 1, 1919 in Blind River, Ontario, the fifth of 13 children, to Adelaide and Louis Desbiens. The family moved to Bolkow, a whistle stop in northern Ontario, where they owned and operated a general store, boarding house, and pool hall. Her father was also a cook, and, the local forest ranger in this small railroad community. She learned to hunt and fish during her growing years. Mom was always a homebody, preferring to be at home with her mother and never wandering too far away. Mom’s young years in Bolkow were spent surrounded by her very large extended French family that included her pépère Mars, a wonderful storyteller, as well as her many sisters and brothers and their children. Mom was a very gifted musician and artist, learning to play by ear the piano, guitar, accordion and mouth organ. Mom always dreamed of living the ranch life, so when, in 1950, she came across a magazine ad that bachelor and future husband, John, had placed looking for a cook on the ranch, she applied for the job. John, his brother Bill, and their elderly mother needed a cook to feed them and the ranch hands. This began a year-long romance through correspondence that led to her coming out west to Drumheller in 1951 to meet this rancher. As she often recounted the tale, she got off the train after spending a week travelling from Ontario with her brother Ernie, and there, leaning against the wall of the old White House Hotel, was dad, decked out in his usual cowboy hat and boots. She knew instantly that it was him and it was love at first sight. Mom stayed at the Graham ranch in the Wintering Hills for two weeks and then it was time to head back to Ontario. It was then dad’s turn to meet the very large and close-knit Desbiens family for Christmas, 1952. They decided at this time that they wanted to marry. The couple travelled to Sudbury, Ontario to buy Yvonne’s engagement ring and the deal was set. Dad returned to East Coulee and mom followed in April of 1953. Mom often talked of the blizzard on her wedding day, April 11, when they got married in the Knox United Church in Drumheller. The snow was knee deep and the cold was harsh. She later had her marriage blessed by a Catholic priest. Having come from the bush of northern Ontario, mom quickly adapted to prairie ranch life. She often said that it took a few years to become accustomed to the prairies but she soon fell in love with the Drumheller valley which she called her “Beautiful hills of home.” She loved Drumheller and it was truly her home. Three years after their marriage, they were blessed with their first child, John Barry, followed two years later by Robin Byron. Darryl came next and finally, their girl, Sandra, was born. Mom’s family was the most important thing to her; everything else was secondary. She was the strong glue that held her family together and everyone just knew that they had better be there for any family occasions. Christmas was a magical time of tradition with “cipate” being served Christmas eve for the reveillon. Mom was proud of her French Canadian heritage and insisted on speaking French to her family no matter who was there or where she was. The table would always be full, be it with family, friends, or strangers. She loved the cowboy way of life and loved to see her John dressed in western clothes. She also loved bingo and going out to the restaurant and the IGA. In later years, mom and dad could often be seen walking downtown, headed to the restaurant for their morning coffee or their evening supper. Mom was a devout Catholic who had a simple, yet profound and unmoving faith in God and the power of prayer. Her gift to everyone was that she would offer to pray for them and she would. She could often be heard saying “God bless” to those she met. Mom leaves to mourn her children Sandra (Mark), Darryl (Louise), Byron (Helen), and John Barry, and her sister Lola Yearley of Drumheller and her niece Nancy Worthing of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. She also leaves her sisters Aldea Kneafsey of St. Catherine’s Ontario and Alice Huard of Niagara Falls, Ontario. Nanny will also be missed by her grandchildren Auberon, Averie, Christopher, Mitchell, Olivier, and Robin as well as her close nieces and nephews Troy, Sadie, Shane, Charlene and Shawna. She also leaves her great-grandson, Robby and numerous nieces and nephews in Alberta and Ontario. Mom was predeceased by our dad, John Graham, on September 25, 2003, as well as her parents Louis in 1957 and Adelaide in 1976, and her siblings, Oliva, Leontine, Leontine, Horace, Ramone, Leone, Ernest, Germaine, Marcel, Micheline, all of Ontario. Funeral will take place on Monday, January 10, 2011 at St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church in Drumheller with Fr. Mario Basque officiating. Prayers will take place on Sunday, January 9 at 7 p.m. at Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Home with same in charge of arrangements. If so desired, donations can be made to St. Anthony’s Church in Drumheller in memory of Yvonne Graham for the purchase of sacred vestments. 1c

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome
by C. Aiello
While I was peacefully eating my lunch the other day, I was accosted by a woman (who shall remain nameless) telling me that I needed to write something about which she was obviously quite upset. Can you imagine? Right in the middle of my meal. Being the good-humoured sort, and it being the season, I was about to indulge the poor woman, by asking what it was that had her knickers so knotted up. She of course beat me to the punch. “You need to write about that guy with all the wives, that, that,...” I then interjected, “Polygamist?” “Yeah, that guy ... You need to write about him ... He shouldn’t have that many wives, it should be outlawed ... And where have all the young men gone? ... The old goat studs kick them out ... You need to write about that.” Apparently, I did need to write about it, because the lady is getting what she wanted, I’m writing about that poor polygamist. Before any other women get their hackles up over me calling him poor, it brings to mind a line from an old movie: “Why would a gal want to marry and make one man miserable when she can remain single and make a lot of men happy?” If one wife can make a man miserable, then several wives... Get my drift? As for the lady saying that the practise of polygamy (practice with the first wife so that you get it right for the next one) should be outlawed, there’s no need - it’s already outlawed. But apparently they seem to be willing to make an exception for the folks living in Bountiful, B.C. Why they make exceptions, I do not know. Where have all the young men gone? Well, I would guess that it is much like an elk herd, where in the fall, the biggest, baddest bulls take all the cows in a harem. If a younger bull wants a mate, he first has to knock off the older bull, and if he can’t do that, then what’s the point of hanging around? Or a wolf pack, where only the alpha male, again the biggest, baddest male, is the only one allowed to mate. If you are a younger male and have ideas about mating with females in the pack, you must either kill, or run off the alpha male, or leave the pack to find a suitable mate elsewhere. How about that, I inadvertently made a case for polygamy. I never did say I’d write against it. Did I? There’s something to be said for a group of women all married to the same man, and show no envy, jealousy or animosity to one another. Something also must be said for the man who can support, care for, please, and love multiple wives without causing any of the above mentioned feelings. Polygamy is wrong, no question of that, but I just can’t for the life of me tell you why it’s wrong. Really, if everybody is happy... To the lady who asked me to write about polygamists: I’m guessing that the foregoing was not what you had in mind. I’m also guessing that I will have my quiet lunch interrupted again so you can tell me as much. I say this to you, you may interrupt my lunch whenever you please, just as long as you stay just the way you are, sharp and witty. 1l

There will never be a big enough way to say THANK YOU to our Drumheller community. So many of you stepped forward to help with meals, donations, memorials, security, funeral setup, gifts, flowers, emotional support and more – many of you anonymously. You will never know what it meant to us. We were so devastated coming back from Mexico, but it felt like we came home to open arms and for that we will be forever grateful. We may never have the chance to tell you all personally. From the bottom of our hearts, please know it means the world to us. They say when something bad happens you find out who your friends are. That is true… But you also find friends you never knew you had. Special thanks to Drumheller Minor Hockey for all the support and memorials, Valley Figure Skating Club / Toffan family / Church of the Nazarene for the funeral luncheon and the figure skaters for the blue ribbons, Encana and Cenovus– special thanks to Debbie Gough and Tammy Jensen, Westjet for their emergency team / flights / ongoing support, Alberta Treasury Branch, Gerald Martynes from Investors Group, Thoughtful Angels for the butterfly and hockey angel pins, Courtney Winter’s Funeral Home (Lisa Jacques), Harper’s Tire, Drumheller RCMP, Drumheller Dragons, Sisterhood of the Secret Santas, Bob Thomas and Virgil BigEagle, the Morgan Jayne Project for creating memorial candles, Rick Lobe and Jay Garbutt for the beautiful eulogies, our special friends who escorted our boys home in the middle of the night and/or served as pall bearers (Duke Webber, Gord Rose, Bob and Stuart Leavitt, Pat Hummel, Rick Gaboriau and Paul Richard) Pastor Carlos Calderon who officiated the service, the Hummels (especially Sherry, love you lots), Paul Salvatore, the Engens, and all of our other incredible family, neighbors and friends who I haven’t named but have a special place in our hearts.

The St. Anthony’s senior boys Sabres basketball team were handed their second loss in league play, but are looking to redeem themselves this weekend at their home tournament. The Sabres traveled to Acme Wednesday night to take on the Redmen in their third league game of the season. The Sabres started strong, and after one quarter appeared to be in control of the game. By half time, they found themselves down by seven points. In the second half they came out flat and were outscored 26-6. In the end, the Redmen won 78-44. The lacklustre performance was frustrating for the players and coaches, and in fact this was the first loss of the Sabres to a 1A team in the zone. The team appeared timid on their offense, and unable to get into position for solid scoring chances. What frustrated coach Gavin Makse is the players were not playing up to their potential. The Sabres matched
up to the Redmen well, but were not able to execute. This weekend they hope to bounce back at the Sabres Invitational, an eight-team tournament. Teams at the tourney include Rosemary, Rundle Academy, Ecole De La Rose Sauvage, Forestburg, Erle Rivers, Our Lady of the Snows and Heritage Christian, which
earned an early season #10 provincial ranking. The Sabres hit the court this Friday, as 12:30 p.m. to play our Lady of the Snows of Canmore. If they win, they go onto play at 10:30 a.m., Saturday morning. The tournament final is Saturday at 7:15 p.m.
Dynos 2-0 after defeating PCA Submitted | inSide Drumheller
The Senior DVSS Dynos basketball team has its second league win of the season, defeating Prairie Christian Academy (PCA) Wednesday night. The Dynos travelled to Three Hills to take on PCA. After the Christmas break and playing in only their second game of the season, the team looked rusty offensively and committed several turnovers early on. The team did managed to dig in defensively to take a 29 to 25 point lead into half time. The Dynos started off strong in the third quarter and held PCA scoreless for the first five minutes, allowing the Dynos to stretch their lead to 15 points. In the fourth quarter, and being a young team, the Dynos made several careless mistakes with the ball allowing PCA to close the gap to 10 points. After PCA’s late run, the Dynos regrouped and came away with a 68 to 54 victory lead by a well balanced attack of Daulton’s Smith 14 points, five rebounds, Cody Gouin’s 15 points, 10 rebounds, and Brock Boyd’s 15 points, six rebounds and nine steals.
