Summer Reading kids tour inSide Drumheller Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
The library’s Summer Reading Program made a stop at the inSide Drumheller offices on Thursday afternoon to get a taste of what it’s like to work at a 100 year old news publication. The theme of the Drumheller Public Library’s program for kids this summer is centennials. Drumheller is celebrating its Mining Centennial and The Drumheller Mail is celebrating 100 years of publishing. After being told the schedules and process that go into publishing two papers a week, the kids had a chance to sit down with Mayor Terry Yemen to quiz his worship on the pressing issues faced by today’s youth. Why do we need the Badlands Community Facility? The thing that really kicked it off is the banquet facility, we didn’t have one in Drumheller. We also didn’t have a recreational facility, so we decided to team them up so we could have both a banquet and recreational facility. It’s a good drawing card for our community. Are we getting close to finishing it? We’re getting close. A lot of the time spent is on things you don’t see. Right now the walls are up and they’re pouring the concrete. We’re hoping for an opening date of mid-November this year. Are you thinking of putting more parks in? Right now we just finished a park in East Coulee. Two
In a opening meeting with Mayor Terry Yemen, tough questions we asked by the kids from
years ago we did a park in North Drumheller and one in Hunts. They’re kind of driven by the community – if someone wants one they need to go out and fundraise for one. Are you putting a Chuck E. Cheese here? We really need one. But it should better food than the one in Calgary. We have a guy who is an Economic Development Officer who encourages business. The town doesn’t do business, but we encourage them to come. It’s an option, but nothing we’ve talked about recently. We should have a water park.

(l-r) Maddy, Avelino and Shalia gave a thumbs up, while enjoying their Drumheller Mail tour.
We’ve talked about it, but again it’s not something the town would do, businesses would have to. We’ve talked about an awesome waterslide (kids cheer). There should be a waterslide that goes down the hill into a big wave pool. It’s all population built, the more population the more things we can get. Is the ski hill still closed?
Yes, but we’re working on that. Why is it closed? They just quit doing business. It’d be nice if it was open. Is it for sale? It’s just sitting there right now, because it’s in the midst of court action. It’ll probably take a year or two to get it all straightened out.

inSide the Badlands Community Facility
Friday, July 22, 2011 - 3 Two weeks ago inSide Drumheller was granted a tour of the semi-complete Badlands Community Facility to give our readers an inSide look of progress made. The facility is scheduled to be complete by the middle of November (left) Town Director of Infrastructure Allan Kendrick and Dawson-Wallace site superintendent Loren Peters acted as tour guides. (far left top to bottom) Windows make up most of the facility’s walls, seeing natural light flood all areas, including the stairs to the upper level which houses the kitchen, running track, and meeting hall. A deck was added late into the design of the facility, but will provide a riverfront view of Centennial Park. Only a portion of the concrete had been laid when the tour was provided, but the fieldhouse is in a large, open area with a running track circling above. On the riverfront side of the building will be gym equipment in a room with large windows. The new library was probably the least developed at the time of the tour, but provides much more space then their current location. Workers were busy installing the steel framework for the large riverside windows in the meeting hall. inSide photos by Kyle Smylie

The Dinosaur Half Marathon is more than half full. The second annual roadracing event, sponsored by Community Futures, is less than two months away, and already has 162 entries for the 21-kilometre trek. There are also 93 signed up for the new 10 kilometre race and 51 registered for the 5-kilometre fun walk and run. In all there are 306 entries. “In fact, on the third of August last year, we had 153 entries, so (as of Tuesday) we have exactly double,” said Colin Kloot, organizing committee chairman. The half marathon has a cap of 300 racers, so organizers have surpassed the halfway mark to filling the event. Both the 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre races have a cap of 200. "We are expecting 600 people in this race. Last year in August we had 153; by race day we had 438,” said Kloot. Kloot would like to encourage more local entries, especially for the 5-kilometre and 10-kilometre races. “The 5k is a fun run and walk, and you can walk in the 10k as well,” said Kloot. The 5k race is designed for anyone. There is no age limit, and it's the perfect way for a family to come out and participate in the event. Friendly pets on a leash are even welcome. The shorter races are also a great chance for those who want to test their mettle but aren’t ready to tackle a full

half marathon. “It is the way people get started… it is perfect way to test your fitness,” said Kloot. All the racers are electronically timed through a microchip in the runner’s bib. Those who complete the 5k course earn a certificate of completion, and the top three runners will get a cash prize. In the 10k, everyone who completes the course receives a medal for their accomplishment.
Because of the cap, Kloot is hoping they can close out registration in the near future. “This is when the jump comes, so anyone who is interested should get registered and get training,” said Kloot.

It seems the Mining Centennial here in Drumheller has been grabbing attention across the province. A oat in the Calgary Stampede Parade, stories appearing in a number of daily papers, and Lawrence Chrismas’ photo-book, Coal in the Valley spent two weeks of June in the Calgary Herald’s bestsellers list. The book is ďŹ lled with stories and photos taken over a 30 year period and include some historical images of the mining history in Drumheller. It claimed third spot on the nonďŹ ction list in the middle of June and dropped to ďŹ fth spot a week later. This is Lawrence’s ďŹ fth book about old time and contemporary coal miners. “Drumheller, I’ve always maintained, has had a mystique about it for a number of reasons, but one is the history,â€? says Chrismas. “I think it’s a combination of the landscape, I think it’s the sense of history in the river valley. I would argue that it’s the people who are really the most interesting. It’s really hard to put your ďŹ nger on it, but I’ve met so many people who are ordinary Joes who have worked their life farming or on the railway. But it’s the miners that are particularly special.â€? Chrismas says the book captures that mystique through their words during extensive interviews. He’d condense it down to bring out favourable traits of his subjects. “I wasn’t interested in exploring the negative side of it the Union problems or how the conditions were terrible. I didn’t draw it out. Quite often when I’m compiling their stories down to accompany the photographs, I avoid that.â€? The left-behinds of the mining industry are the subject matter for his stunning black and white photos – the men and women have grown old and tired in the mining shacks they still cling to. Some of the conditions captured are comparable to scenes one would imagine being the Ozarks, yet their weathered faces appear strong and hopeful. “I get a tremendous response from the cover photograph. You see him and it’s a neat old guy, but you read the story and think, ‘Wow, he was a professional baseball player in the summer, worked into his late 70s, and he loved mining.’ That’s where I come from.â€? Chrismas says sales of Coal in the Valley have been good so far, but it takes a considerable amount of sales to break even in the book business. He says it’s worth it to be able to contribute to this historical year for Drumheller. “I really felt good about that. I’m very partial to the Drumheller valley.â€? Coal in the Valley has led to a new coal mining project for Chrismas. He’s been asked to document Yale, B.C. and their mining history.

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water. About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area. The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district. It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water. About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area. The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district. It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves
in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.

The Gear Heads are shining up their chrome, balancing carburettors, and getting ready to head out to High Eagle RV Park in Rosebud this Sunday for the first of what they hope to be an annual Show and Shine. The Gear Head Custom and Classic Car/Truck Show is set to go, Sunday, July 24 from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and features street rods, customs, classics, antiques and muscle cars and trucks through the eighties. “The Gear Heads have their club, and they wanted a different kind of set-
ting,” said Jeanne Sonmor. “Our RV park is a gorgeous place down in the Rosebud Valley along the river and such, and we thought we would give it a try for the first year.” She said it is small group of local car enthusiasts from the area who are organizing the event, and they have a day planned out that includes judging, door prizes, a band, and concession and refreshments. So far they have heard great interest in the event including from some of the This Sunday High Eagle RV Park in Rosebud is hosting a bigger car clubs that may be interested in expanding show and shine from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie it unto a weekend event with cruises. contact High Eagle RV register by calling Dave For more information Park at 403-677-2577, or Matthews at 403-644-2448.

Valley Home reflects singer/songwriter’s roots Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
Before playing the ďŹ rst of a 30-show tour which will take him from Edmonton to Cape Breton in support of Valley Home, musician Joe Vickers caught up with inSide Drumheller to talk about the alternative folk al-
bum he was commissioned to create for the 2011 Mining Centennial. Released last Friday, Valley Home features 13 tracks, and dives into the diverse history of Drumheller with equally diverse songs: with them are write-ups, quotes, and phoJuly 22, 2011
PUBLIC NOTICE Proposed Wintering Hills Substation Tower Replacement ATCO Electric is planning to replace the 10 metre telecommunication pole on the existing Wintering Hills substation site, which is located in NW 26-26-19 W4M, approximately 6 kilometres east of Dalum and 25 kilometres southeast of the Town of Drumheller. The replacement tower will be a 21 metre self-supporting steel lattice structure. The tower will support four antennas, one of which will be a microwave dish type antenna. The new tower will meet 11073KA1 aeronautical safety requirements. ATCO Electric has approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission and is applying to Industry Canada and Wheatland County for other necessary approvals. Construction is planned to occur August 2011. You are invited to provide public comments to ATCO Electric within the next 30 days of this notice.

tos in the album liner to support the images he invokes on the album. It’s available at the Atlas Coal Mine, Homestead Museum, Cafe Italiano, Shredz, Shoppers Drug Mart, and the World’s Largest Dinosaur. Vickers, 24, grew up in Drumheller and has headed up the punk/folk band audio/rocketry, based in Edmonton where he recently completed his degree in education. It seems you went for more of a polished, dare I say pop approach on this album compared to your previous folk albums with audio/rocketry. Was that the plan? It’s still a roots album. It’s dierent compared to things I’ve done in the past with audio/rocketry. I wanted to have musical arrangements that reected the cultural diversity of Drumheller in its early history. I wanted to make music reective of Eastern European culture that came in, so Weekend Waltz is very reminiscent of that inuence. There’s everything from bluegrass to stripped down folk songs that put an emphasis more on lyrical content, because I want the stories to be at the forefront of the songs. To

ing “Oh I could’ve written stories about this event or this and that,â€? so it was really whatever story stood out at the moment.

be able to channel what was happening and the dierent attitudes and experiences depending on each story. Were you aiming for a wider audience with this album? Yeah, with these songs the intent was really for residents of the valley to pay respect to the heritage stories they might be familiar with. And with those unfamiliar with history, I hoped it would excite those both young and old. I didn’t try to change the sound to accommodate anybody, I think that just came naturally with trying to keep a diverse sound and trying to allow the stories to be at the forefront. You can never hide your own musical roots – they’re always going to surface. Do you have a favourite song or story on the album? That’s a good question, they keep changing. The ďŹ rst song I wrote was Into the Darkness and I was really excited when I ďŹ rst wrote that song because it’s recorded in A capella (no instrumental accompaniment) format and I’ve never done anything like that before. There’s no music that really hides the lyrics or anything. The story and immigrant experience of coming to the valley is not being hidden whatsoever. That was my favourite, because it set the tone for what I was looking for in creating this album. My favourite song has changed – now I like Weekend Waltz. When doing interviews with historians and miners, they were always interested in the madams and fancy gals and their inuence on the valley’s narrative. Was it hard to narrow down the stories you wanted to tell into only 13 songs? Absolutely. Even after I recorded them I was going back to the dierent books to do research for write ups in the liner notes, I was coming across more stories, say-
They do cover a wide range of Drumheller history. Yeah, you have to make it as holistic as possible to give a well rounded view. Why did you feel like this was a project you had to step up for? The Vickers family is celebrating our centennial year in accordance to the valley, as well. Both my great-grandparents were early settlers, with N.B. Vickers opening the ďŹ rst hardwood store in the valley and my greatgrandfather Joe Serkownak was a coal miner himself. So my family ties are strongly rooted in the history of the valley itself. I’m very much connected to past. I grew up with stories of the valley in grandparents' households, so they’re very much who I am. I felt it was a calling because it was something I could write about, because it's just close to me, really. I’m talking about something I take a lot of pride in. Are these stories you’ve always been proud of? Well, I think at a younger age you just recognize them as stories that were passed onto you, but as you grow older you start to appreciate things dierently. While growing up in Drumheller, I was ready for something new, but it really was from afar that I realized my true point of reference was Drumheller. That’s home for me. What would you say to youth who feel like that now? Trying to ďŹ nd an appreciation at that young of an age can be diďŹƒcult. Maybe that’s another angle for this album, – to allow those to get excited about our past and gain an appreciation. Why are there people living in this particular area? If you follow the trails back, you realize what our origins are and to understand why things are the way they are you have to become familiar with the origins. To say something to those kids, I don’t know if anything can be said because moving away is a wonderful thing to do.

Artist brings home Stampede Red Ribbon
Chips with Salsa by CC. Aiello
It’s becoming a sad, sad world. Technology was supposed to work to bring us closer together, to give us more time, to ease our workload. The exact opposite seems to have happened. We are, as individuals, slowly being removed from the real world, cloistered in our little electronic communication cubicle, attached to something called a “social network”. This social network consists of many things, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Google among them. They are less a network than an insidious web in which we become entangled, stifled, and finally cut off from any real society. It is a world contained in the cell phone, the computer and the Blackberry. It is more dangerous than any web ever spun by any spider. Facebook, the popular social networking site, offers the potential of suddenly having hundreds of “friends”, none whom you may know but who are listed as such anyway. You may enter “chat rooms”, and spend endless hours exchanging senseless drivel with someone who responds in kind. You may never meet this person, you know little about them, and yet somehow you have lost time “networking” or “chatting”. You might use your cell phone to “text” (that is to write someone using an abbreviated alphabet, and contracted words), someone sitting across the room from you. Or you might check your cell phone for any incoming text messages while you are driving, and decide that you simply must answer that very important one. After all, you are 10 minutes from home, and would hate to miss a single thing. Your actions may put you in the ditch, or into someone's back bumper, but at least you answered that text message. Apparently I am in high demand, as I am being pressured by family and friends to get a cell phone, or at least an answering machine. My brother brought me an answering machine, which sat unused until my sister hooked it up. It remained that way for exactly one week, after which time, I unhooked it and returned it to my brother. It seems I am hard to get a hold of. (Who knew there were so many trying to reach me, and why) I have two phones in my home and an answering machine puts me no nearer to answering the phone, and returning any calls would be at my discretion. I don’t think I would like that, it might make the one who called, but got no reciprocal call feel insulted or hurt. It’s bad manners not to return calls, and I would just as soon not be put in that position. Then again, I consider it bad manners to take calls on a cell phone when you are in the middle of a conservation with someone else. “Oh, I’ve got to take this”, or “Just a minute, I’ve got to return this text.” The argument is that is discourteous and inconsiderate to not be available at all times, and therefore I should own a cell phone. Wrong! It might be inconvenient, but discourteous and inconsiderate are a stretch. The social network really ain’t all that sociable.

Local artist Kellie Krueger was shocked when she received an email from a client wishing her congratulations on her first place showings at this year’s Calgary Stampede in the Eco Art exhibit. The client suggested she enter the Eco Art exhibit in the Calgary Stampede. She had to provide a piece that was created in the last 12 months, and “Eagle in Flight” was that piece. “Eagle in Flight”, was originally created for her husband to be hung in their home. With an original window pane and smashed glass, her creative talent began to take form.

West Nile virus remains a health concern for all Albertans. Those over the age of 50 are at greater risk of becoming seriously ill when infected with West Nile virus. Your best protection is insect repellent with DEET. Used as directed, DEET has an excellent safety record. Products with lemon eucalyptus oil are effective for shorter periods of time. Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active. 11071MA1

the wings of the eagle. Surrounding glass was purchased at a stained glass store to complete her creative piece. “I was reluctant to enter and didn’t feel I had a chance,” she told inSide Drumheller, “but couldn’t believe when my work had placed 1st in Entry, 1st in Class, and 2nd in Show.” She also collected prize money of $125.00 in Calgary Stampede Eco Art. She finds the glass she uses from various areas, old mine sites, garbage dumps and sometimes people even leave glass on the steps of her house. She has an im-
pressive collection of jars with shards of glass, everything from old pottery dishes to hydro insulators, and even 100 year purple glass and black amethyst glass. She takes care to learn the origins of each piece of glass she incorporates into her work. Future plans for her? “Maybe some jewellery,” and she has been invited in November to the Resolution Gallery in Kensington (Calgary) to display what she calls a “labour of love.” She doesn’t consider her art to be art but a form of play.

I’d move to Thailand to do missionary work. Dream job? Awareness photographer.

He’s a great friend. Where would you go in a time machine? The Roman Empire. What would be your theme song? 'Live Like You Were Dying'. I’m not a country fan but I like the words. Words of wisdom? Live with no regrets. What’s the one piece of technology you could not live without? I really like my camera. Favourite colour? Blue. What superpower would you want? Transportation, I’d tour the world.
One of my favorites, it’s hardy, colourful, dependable, easy to divide and share with friends. Peonies have been cultivated in China and Japan for centuries, and individual plants may live for a hundred years or longer. You may have heard someone say that was a piece of Great Grandma’s Peony that she always had by the front door. They are great heirloom plants for that reason. Most garden peonies are hybrids of Paeonia officinalis and P. lactiflora with colours ranging from white, cream, yellow, pink, rose, red and scarlet, along with all the shades in between. They bloom from spring to early summer depending on the one you have purchased. Peonies prefer full sun to light shade and will hold their blooms longer if shaded from the hot afternoon sun. They have three types of flowers: single 5 or more petals with a central stamen, semi double have several rings of petals around visible stamens, and fully double have many concentric rings of petals and no visible stamens. These are the most common and what most of us will see if we go for a tour around the yards right now. They are in full bloom now or just starting depending on the exposure to the sun they are getting. Some are fragrant and some don’t really have a noticeable fragrance to them. The semi-double and double varieties are heavy when in bloom and can be hard to hold up if they don’t have a good support. The foliage can be nice all year round depending on the variety you have. Garden peonies are usually between 1.5 ft. to 3 ft. tall – again depending on the plant and the
sun exposure it gets. They should be easy to grow, just don’t plant them too deep, they only need a couple of inches of soil to cover. If planted too deep they will not bloom or will bloom poorly Also don’t plant in a wet area or the tuber will rot. If you have a young plant, make sure it’s had time to get comfortable where planted – but if it just won’t bloom then lift it and replant. This is best to do in the fall as they are spring and early summer bloomers. One last thing to mention is that these lovely flowers are ant magnets so be aware if you are taking them in the house for that lovely center piece, you may have ants for supper. If you are looking for a special variety or colour there are a couple of places to check with: Adelman Peony Gardens www.peonyparadise.com Parkland Perennials parklandperennials@gmail.com
