These animal lovers were helping passersby beat the heat and hunger pangs, selling lemonade and cookies all in support of critters that need help. (l-r) Sara Ahner with Mia the puppy, Aja Kennedy and Nicole Ahner set up a lemonade stand at Riverside Packers, and did a brisk business. They also sold hand-knitted stuffed animals made by Sara and Nicole’s grandmother Christa. The lemonade stand was held in support of the Drumheller and District Humane Society and by day’s end the trio raised $132. 55 for the local charity. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

For eight years, Royal Tyrrell Museum technician Darren Tanke has worked on a dream: a Centennial re-enactment of the first American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) trip. Using all the known information from trips Barnum Brown of the AMNH carried out between 1910 and 1913, and the Sternberg family of dinosaur hunters trips of 1913 to 1916, Tanke recreated a scow as close to the original as possible, including using similar equipment. The idea was to launch the scow from the city of Red Deer, Alberta and float down the Red Deer River for a five-week trip, ending in Dinosaur Provincial Park in August, and reliving history along the way. The scow, named the Peter C. Kaisen after an assistant of Barnum Brown, was launched from Red Deer on June 29. “We really went into the project not knowing what was involved and that’s exactly what happened with Barnum Brown and George Sternberg when they did their expeditions,” explained Tanke to inSide Drumheller. Tanke had planned the same route, the same size scow, same equipment and the same plan, but the crew soon found that the journey wasn’t going to be the same. As soon as the trip started, the scow hit a bridge piling side on, smashing some glass and ceramic equipment in the kitchen. Soon after, a leaning tree nearly ripped off the tent, followed by a collision with the bank which shattered the tiller block and snapped a tiller clean in two. “We discovered things weren’t exactly the same, or maybe they were, but they didn’t write how difficult it was to be on the river,” said Tanke. Although he had worked to avoid the reported problems from the original expeditions, Tanke said there was no mention of the problems they encountered, the biggest one being the speed of the current and their difficulties controlling the scow. “There’s no mention of getting hung up on rocks, the current being very fast and the difficulty of stopping. When water is moving six to eight kilometres an hour or even four, and you are in a boat that weighs three and a half tons, it is difficult to stop and that for me is the big ques-

tion - how did they manage to get around that? There’s nothing on their scows to indicate they had any kind of anchor like we had. We had a 95-pound anchor that we would drop overboard,

a real learning experience for me and a real eye opener. Historically, it raises a lot of questions. Brown claims he had six tons of dinosaur bones on his scow. Well, if he was hitting rocks like

After several mishaps and illness that struck the crew’s leader Darren Tanke, the Dinosaur hunting by boat expedition was cut short, to be resumed next summer. The photo shows the crew which brought the scow back to Drumheller with Bill Spencer at the front and (back; l-r) Eva Koppelhus, Al Rasmuson, Tess and Tom Owen with Phil Currie. photo by Lawrence Dohy

which would slow us down, but in some cases it would just drag at the bottom.” Tanke explains that some of the AMNH expeditions had a power boat, although the reasons why are unclear. “Was it because of the difficulties they encountered they did not write about in their field notes and maybe the power boat was used to help fight the current a little bit, slow the scow down?” advanced Tanke, adding that one of the crew brought up the question that maybe they did not write about the damages that occurred during their field trip for fear of their supervisor’s barring them going back. On Sunday, July 4, Tanke became ill and was taken to the Three Hills hospital where he discovered he was anemic. This, combined with exhaustion he was suffering from the hard work and sleepless nights that preceeded the trip, meant Tanke had to abandon the expedition, leaving a crew to carry on without him to bring the scow to Drumheller and suspend the expedition this year. “I’ll remember it differently from the others, they had a much nicer experience. It just didn’t happen the way I planned it. When you work on a project for eight years, you get a mindset of how things will unfold and happen and very few of those things actually happened. It was

we were, how was he getting the scow oﬀ with only two or three people in his crew? It makes you wonder if he embellished some of his ﬁeld notes.” But Tanke is not defeated. He

says this expedition was a steep learning curve, and he will now work on adjustments needed to do this again next year, when they plan to launch the scow from Drumheller and float down to Dinosaur Provincial Park. “We will re-appraise what we experienced, what went well and what didn’t go well. We are the first scow-based paleontology expedition to float down that river since 1916 and we were the first expedition to do so without a power boat assisting us since 1911. We retraced a large portion of the route followed by Brown and Sternberg, well over half, from 1910 to 1916. We created a lot of awareness; everyone up and down the river knew who we were, even though we never introduced ourselves to anyone. We had people floating by saying ‘Are you the dinosaur guys?’ I think all the crew had a great experience, and different. It’s very easy to get in your truck and do some field work and that’s done all the time, but to hop on a scow built to the same specification as one built in 1910 - that had never been done before.” For more information, log on to Darren Tanke’s blog about the project at 2010dinohuntingbyboat. blogspot.com.

Canadian Tire helps kids go to camp The Salvation Army received a boost from Canadian Tire in their fundraising efforts to help send kids to camp.

Upgrades bring higher water quality Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller It has been almost a year since the UV filtering systems at the Drumheller water treatment plant were put online, and since then, the treatment plant has been delivering residents some of the highest quality water in the province. Over the last five years, the water treatment and wastewater treatment plant have undergone many changes. These have been spurred on by changes by the province to make regulations more stringent. Brian Bolduc, utilities manager for the town explains, the province completed an inventory of water treatment plants a few years ago, and reviewed guidelines. Each water treatment plant then looked at different ways to meet the new standards. The upgrades at the water treatment plant began with an advanced coagulation system. About three years ago, this system was put in place to control the amount of organic particles in the water. With a river source, organics are always present, and

the amount ﬂuctuates season to season. The advanced coagulation treatment adds a compound that separates the suspended particles in the water allowing them to settle. This reduced the Total Organic Carbons in the water to levels of compliance. The changes continued as last summer the water treatment plant brought in the ultraviolet disinfection units. These two units speciﬁcally address ridding the water of Giardia which causes “beaver fever” and Cryptosporidium, another parasite responsible for a similar illness. The UV also allows the plant to use a little less chlorine in its treatment, making better tasting water. So far, Bolduc says these measures have helped to increase the water quality in Drumheller. He adds the Alberta Government, while setting the bar higher with the new standards, has also been very responsive in providing the grants and funding needed to upgrade the equipment and processes for water treatment plants to meet the guidelines. Bolduc has worked in other jurisdictions, and believes

Alberta is progressive. Gordon Fournier has been working at the water treatment plant since 1986, while in larger jurisdictions a plant operator may not ever see beyond their office. In Drumheller, the staff pays attention to the whole water system from when it is pulled from the river, treated, delivered, returned, treated in the wastewater plant, and eventually returned to the river. He finds this satisfying. Bolduc also says the responsibility of his department goes beyond the plant. Currently Drumheller is in the midst of its cast iron water line replacement project. This summer they were working in the splash park area. While this caused a few traffic woes for residents, in the long run it will help improve water quality and delivery. He explains while the water leaving the water treatment plant meets standards, it is possible to pick up sediment and compounds in the line before it is delivered to the customer. This is controlled by maintaining a constant PH in the water coming from the plant, and through

the annual ﬂushing program. The Drumheller Fire department is a big part of the ﬂushing program. The cast iron water line replacement will also help in reducing the possibility of sediment in the water. Because much of the line is approaching the end of its lifecycle, replacing it will also help minimize water main breakages in the winter. The newer stronger lines may also allow

the town to run the water system with pressure, although there are no deﬁnite plans. Bolduc explains the department appreciates calls from the public about water quality and problems with the water system. In fact he says about 90 per cent of water breaks are reported by residents. The feedback from customers allows them to pinpoint problem areas.

Rodders roar through A&W on their way to Vancouver Island Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

in Drumheller to cool oﬀ and have a little lunch. It was unavoidable that the collection of rods from the 1920s to the 1980s would attract a crowd. Frank Colgoni, founder of Canadian Rodders explains the trip headed out from Lethbridge on Sunday morning. On Monday, after a stop at Vulcan, they dropped into Drumheller. From there, they headed west through Calgary and by today (Wednesday, July 14) will be in Agassiz B.C. This is not the ﬁrst run for the group. In 2009 they completed the Points East Tour from Ontario to New

Brunswick and in 2007 the inaugural Hot Rod Tour went across Canada from Ontario to B.C. Along for the ride this year were drivers from across Canada, including Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C. There was even a rodder from North Carolina enroute. Colgoni said there are about 70 cars registered, although some will be joining along the route as they cruise to their ﬁnal destination. While many of the rods along are from the tradition of “go fast and get the girl,” Colgoni says they are all set up for hitting the highway,

although many of the creature comforts most come to rely on, such as air conditioning and even windows that roll down, are missing. This doesn’t deter the drivers. Already there have been a couple mechanical mishaps for the cars in their ﬁrst few days, but they have a built in pit crew supplied by The Rod Shop in Calgary travelling with them. One place to serve as stopping point along the way is A&W. The drive-in culture that A&W helped create is still a part of the company, and it is a presenting sponsor of the trip.

Local talent takes center stage at Stampede Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Drumheller musicians are shining at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Calgary Stampede. The Calgary Stampede Youth Talent Contest is in full swing, and after the ďŹ rst elimination, four of the top 28 acts going into the ďŹ nal stretch

of the contest are artists from the area. They include, David Epp of the Hussar area, Courtney Morse accompanied by Kyle Gerlinger, Misha Maseka, and the Russell Brothers, featuring Matt and Alex Russell. These four acts will know

by the weekend if they are selected to be the top talent entered at the Calgary Stampede. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The experience was even better than last year,â&#x20AC;? said Courtney who was in the contest at the last Stampede. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The calibre of competition is unbelievable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very intimidating being surrounded by so many very talented people. It makes you want to perform better and give it all that you have.â&#x20AC;? Morse and Gerlinger performed their rendition of 'Break Even' by the Script. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic song, and popular so we thought we could get the audience hooked into it, but still make it our own,â&#x20AC;? she said. All of the Drumheller acts were able to use a house band at the performance to back their performance. Misha performed 'Glitter in the Air' by Pink, and was blown away by the calibre of the backing band. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so good, these guys have been playing for about 30 years,â&#x20AC;? she said. This might have been one of the biggest stages that David has played on. While he has shared the stage with his father since he was little, he stepped out on his own with his guitar and performed Johnny Cashâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 'Folsom Prison Blues'. David grew up on a farm in the Hussar area, and has decided to ďŹ nish his high school at St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School. He was inspired to enter the competition at a DCHS grad fundraiser where last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talent contest champion Calum Graham performed. He urged many of the local artists to try out. It was a long process. "There were a few days of auditioning, and I went on the last day," said David. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 200 people that tried out, and 70 made it into the ďŹ rst round, and out of that, 28 made it to the semi ďŹ nal.â&#x20AC;? The Russell Brothers also pulled out the Cash;

Johnny, that is. They performed their own arrangement of 'Ring of Fire'. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The audience was totally into it,â&#x20AC;? said Matt of their rendition of the country classic. Stage presence is also impor-

tant, and Matt, who performed with an upright bass, got the crowd going by climbing his bass and jumping oďŹ&#x20AC; while the instrument spun. The Russell Brothers, Misha and David performed on

Thursday, and Courtney is performing on Friday. The top 14 from these two showcases will move onto Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show where the top talent will be selected. Misha attributes the success of the Drumheller performers to a strong, supportive music scene in the valley, especially in light of cuts to music programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something in the water in Drumheller, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kinda weird, but it is really, really exciting though,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think with the absence of it (music program) people want it moreâ&#x20AC;Świthout access to an outlet people are kind of doing it on their own. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a pretty vibrant music scene here.

Walk where miners walked on suspension bridge Staff writer Weekender

The Star Mine Suspension Bridge in Rosedale is a charmingly quaint piece of Drumheller Valley nostalgia. The 117 metre bridge was originally built to enable miners to work

at the Star Mine on the north side of the Red Deer River, across from the community of Rosedale. Although the mine opened in 1912, it wasn’t until 1931 that the original bridge was constructed. The coal miners were originally required to cross the

river to and from work in row boats. In 1919 there was an aerial cable car system constructed to transport the men and coal back and forth. From 1912 to 1930, the mine’s tipple was located on the south side of the river at Rosedale. The tipple is the structure which housed conveyors, shakers and screens for sorting and grading the coal. It is also used to extract any loose rock that may have been included with the coal. The coal was then loaded from the tipple into Canadian National Railway coal cars, which at the time carried the coal from the Valley. In 1930, the Canadian Pacific Railway built a bridge and a spur line 1.6 kilometres up river and a tipple was built at the mine site. The original swinging bridge was constructed in 1931, and although high winds and floods Happy 10th Birthday to the World's Largest Dinosaur!!

made crossing hazardous at times, the bridge was used by the miners until the mine closed in 1957. One year later the hillside collapsed and slid over the mine workings. The late Angelo Berlando, a former miner in the Drumheller Valley, spoke to The Weekender a few years ago of his memories of the Star Mine Suspension Bridge. The following, is part of that interview. Angelo Berlando of Drumheller fondly recalled his days as a young man working the coal mine. Berlando was a boxcar loader at the Star Mine between 1940 and 1957, starting when he was just 16 years old. His duties included filling up coal into the boxcar and shipping it out of the mine. “It was a good job. I wish I still had it,” he said. “Once you got use to it there was nothing to it.”

Berlando continued to visit the bridge on a daily basis, reminiscing of his days of youth, back when the bridge was still made out of wood. “It really whipped around a lot,” he said. “Back then if you had a good wind storm you could barely stand on it.” In order to commemorate the colourful mining history of the Drumheller Valley, the Government of Alberta rebuilt the bridge in 1958 and continues to maintain the suspension bridge for public use. To find the suspension bridge, travel east from Drumheller on Highway 10 to Rosedale then turn left at the first corner after crossing Rosebud Creek and follow the signs. The bridge is a perennial favourite for visitors and tourists, many who treat themselves by walking across one of Alberta’s most treasured mining monuments.

It has been a while since there has been the rumbling of car racing in the valley, but that could all change this weekend. Sunday, July 18 is opening day for Dinosaur Downs Speedway, as they will be hosting four categories of racing at the new track. The track had a false start last season, but now it is set for racing, having inked a deal with the International Motor Contests Association (IMCA) of Canada. Gord MacKinnon, second vice president of the Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society, who is helping to spearhead the racing at the facility, is conﬁdent the track will be in great shape for the scheduled races. MacKinnon says there is a full slate of racing scheduled of the 3/8-mile track. The IMCA Modiﬁeds are going to be at the races. These are unique whips comparable in speed and power to late model stock cars; however, they are typically open wheeled at the front and enclosed at the back. Some are based on stock cars while other are fully customized. There will also be IMCA stock cars. These to will provide great racing action, especially on the larger track that allows for the V8’s to stretch their legs. Also on track is the Renegade Stock Truck Club out of Brooks. MacKinnon says they have about a dozen trucks that will provide for some exciting racing.

Local drivers also have a chance to get in on the action. Dinosaur Downs will be hosting local hobby stock car races at the track this Sunday as well. There is potential for about 10 cars to be on track for racing, with many drivers itching to get back behind the wheel since Hidden Valley Motorsport Park closed.

If your idea of a Sunday drive is to watch some dust-pounding racing action, the gates to Dinosaur Downs open to spectators at 11 a.m. Time trials start at 12:30 p.m. and racing goes at 2 p.m. Go to www.drumhellerstampde.com for more information.

Badlands Basketball attracts 34 cagers This is the eighth year for Badlands Basketball, and this year a healthy 34 youth from Grade 6 to Grade 12 registered for the week-long camp. The camp helps hoopsters learn the fundamentals of the game and keep fit. This year the two most improved players from last summer were sponsored to attend, and instructors also drew five names from spring league players to attend for free. The program is sustained by the volunteerism of alumni that return to help coach the camp. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

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!
