A hiker in Horseshoe Canyon received a little lift Wednesday morning after he injured his leg. The lift came from a chopper. Around 10:30 a.m., a hiker had a mishap while walking at the site. According to one of the pilots at Mountain View Helicopters, which operates tours of the Horseshoe Canyon, they were alerted by hikers that a man was injured. The helicopter took flight, and identified a safe place to land near the injured person. They were able to transport him to their base at the top of the canyon to an awaiting ambulance. This rescue was the second this month by the helicopter company, which has been operating at Horseshoe Canyon since 2001. On July 3, the crew helped rescue a golden retriever. The five-year-old dog, Molly, was suffering from fatigue and dehydration while hiking with

tain View Helicopters said while they are on the site to run tours, they won’t hesitate to help out if there is a safe place for them to land. He said on Wednesday when they rescued the hiker, a member of the hiker’s party offered to pay for the fuel during the rescue, which they appreciated.
Thanks again. Sincerely; Shaila Collins, Maddy Dube, Drumheller Public Library Summer Reading Program & the kids
New fire hall in Rosebud prepares for grand opening Lorelei Coultes | inSide Drumheller

The Rosebud volunteer firemen are committed to providing emergency response service to the residents of the Rosebud region in Wheatland County. In a few short weeks they will have a new fire hall to call home. With 6,000 square feet, the volunteer firefighters will have room for a classroom training space, room to store necessary equipment, and with three emergency response vehicles at present there is room for four. The project began over two years ago with 25 volunteers and 6,000 hours. This major community project has had strong support from business and local service clubs. Deputy Chief Richard Zachariassen explained, “Paul Laffen, a volunteer firefighter from Rosebud, designed the fire hall, including the new Rosebud fire hall sign. “Every night after supper when the weather conditions are co-operating, you can find Art Hudson and myself or other volunteers working on the construction of the fire hall,” Richard said.
The original fire hall is 32 years old and consists of 1,370 square feet. With little work left to do, the fire hall will be ready for the grand opening on Monday August 15, celebrating with supper and entertainment. The Rosebud firefighters get a helping hand from the volunteers in the local community as the fire hall begins to take form. The grand opening will be held on Monday, August 15. submitted
A new chapter in the history of the Rosebud Fire Department will begin as volunteer firefighters will soon be moving into the newly built Rosebud fire hall. photo submitted

Man pleads guilty to possession of 15 pounds of pot for trafficking Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A man has pleaded guilty of possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking after police discovered close to 16 pounds of marijuana in a car. Steven Brausse, and Kevin Jones appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, July 22. Brausse pleaded guilty to possession for the purpose of trafficking. Charges against Jones were withdrawn. The court heard how on October 20 of last year, police were alerted to a truck travelling in the vicinity of Drumheller and the licence plate light was not operating properly. The officer was able to view the licence plate and when he ran the plate,
he learned there may be a warrant outstanding for the owner. Police initiated a stop on the vehicle and when the officer exited his vehicle, he noticed the strong odour of fresh marijuana coming from the truck. The vehicle was driven by Jones. When the vehicle was searched, they located about 16 pounds of marijuana. About six pounds of the cache was pure bud, while the rest was “shake”, or leaves, stocks and seeds. Brausse will be sentenced on a later date. He returns to provincial court in Drumheller on October 28 after a presentence report is completed.

not see a sell-out (capacity is 2,692), four of the shows had well over 2,000 in attendance. In fact, over the complete run they averaged more than 2,000 in the seats. With the number of changes, Neudorf said the performances were smooth. “It was amazing to see everything come together. With everything that had to be done, it was crazy trying to pull it all off, but it all happened,” he said. As far as the final product on the stage, Neudorf was able to actually sit and watch the show this season. “By and large, I said, ‘Wow, what a wonderful piece these people have created,'" adding that the feedback he has received about this year’s performance has been positive. “The show is just a visually stunning piece.” One factor they could not control however was the weather. Jesus received a reprieve from the cross on Friday night, July 22 when the show had to be halted due to rain, as he was marching up Golgotha.
The Passion Play welcomed 14,040 guests through the gates during this year’s seven performances. This is a new record for the production, which marked its 100th performance at its July 15 production. photo submitted
One of the strengths of the Passion Play is that it is never static. While the show closed last Sunday, they are already looking towards next season. “There will be changes… every year we look at it and make a bit of a change here or there, or fix some things. There will be some work on the set to bring it up to exactly what we want. We will be working on the sound system some more,” he said,
explaining that the new system may allow them to outfit the facility with in-ear receivers that patrons who are hard of hearing could rent to better enjoy the show. “We are just going through our post-show things and coming up with a list of things we will fix up for next year, but there is quite a list of things we’re excited to improve upon,” said Neudorf.
Rotary hands over driving tour signs Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
After more than 30 years, the Rotary Club has passed on stewardship of the driving tour signs throughout the valley. This year the Rotary Club completed an ambitious project of refurbishing the series of 18 signs throughout the valley that mark historical sites of interest. The project was supported by a number of entities including the Alberta Government, Canalta and Hi-Way 9 Express. Individual Rotarians also contributed to the project. Other partners included the Atlas Coal Mine, who helped them research each site and provide images for each sign.
The Royal Tyrrell Museum helped with the design and layout of each new sign. HB Industries modified and installed the new signs. The new placards are constructed of a weather, UV and graffiti proof material and are expected to last for years. The whole project cost in the area of $35,000, and took three years from planning and fundraising to installation. On Wednesday, July 27, the Rotary Club officially handed over the stewardship of the signs to the Atlas Coal Mine. Executive director of the Atlas Coal Mine Linda Digby said taking care of the signs fits with the mandate of the Atlas Coal
Mine. “Rotary asked us to take over custodianship of the signs when we began this project a couple of years ago. We said yes because it is a good fit for our mandate,” said Digby. “Our mandate is to preserve and present Drumheller’s coal mining history, from one end of the valley to the other: Nacmine to East Coulee, Wayne to Willow Creek. The historic mine markers are another way to present the story of the mining years, which founded Drumheller.” The signs were originally erected in the mid seventies. Some Rotarians involved in the project to install them were Jim Fisher and Loris Fowler.

refurbishing project, Heather Colberg of Hi-Way 9 Express, Rotary sign committee members Brent Pedersen and Ron Rawlusyk, Atlas Coal Mine executive director Linda Digby and Rotary sign committee member Leo Jensen. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

It took John Davies 10 years and nine individual cars to piece together his 1930 Model A Ford. The retired farmer, now in Rosedale, used to live in the Finnegan area and knew there were a number of the cars all over the fields. He began collecting. While some he had to shell out for, if someone offered to give away the car, he always gave them a bottle of whisky. He built the car from the ground up, including the mechanical work. The car, while pieced together, is almost all original. The hood and the trunk are the only aftermarket parts he had to buy. He also installed a five-speed transmission from a GMC S10 truck to give him a little more go on the highway. The Model A has kept him busy enough tinkering in his retirement, and when it doesn’t, he also has a 1926 Model T truck to keep him busy. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

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.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Reserve judgement for another time, Aries. When someone needs your advice, simply offer it instead of lecturing on what should have been done. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 There's not much you can say or do to change someone's mind. Instead of getting worked up about it, simply move on to someone who is more receptive. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, few things rile you up more than dishonesty. But don't allow this person to get the better of you. Take the high road instead. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it's alright to tell someone the truth. However, sometimes you have to soften your words. Not every person is receptive to brutal honesty at all times.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, it is OK to reminisce about old times, but trying to relive your youth is not advantageous. This week, make a few new memories that you can be proud of. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, even though others around you don't always act as you would hope they would, you have to look at the merits behind their actions. Don't be critical. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 A problem proves a tough nut to crack, Pisces. You'll find a way to get to the center of the issue and resolve things by the weekend.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, when you introduce a new idea, expect it to be met with some opposition. However, later in the week others will start to see the merits of the idea.

Here is a quick and easy dessert for out at the cabin or the campground. But, also, as good at home on the barbecue! I haven’t had any leftovers whenever I make this. It is one of those dishes that you want to lick the plate clean!

Mix ingredients up to cinnamon. Spread in cast iron or two 9x13 pans. Mix pecans, flour, sugar, thyme. Grate chilled butter into the flour mixture. Rub until the consistency of coarse meal. Sprinkle over fruit. Grill over indirect heat for 20 -25 minutes until bubbling. Serve with ice cream or cool whip melting over top.

I haven’t been caught in a rainstorm in a long time, but last Tuesday evening caught me good. In the short distance from the restaurant to my car, I pretty much got soaked. It’s times like these you really appreciate remote door locks. If I’d had to fumble for a key, and then work the lock, I could just as well have walked home, because I doubt I could have been any wetter. As it was I was dripping wet. In the last couple of weeks we have had our share of good thunderstorms, lightning shows, and hot, humid afternoons. Fortunately, the hot sunny days have so far out numbered the stormy days. Actual summer type weather seems to have returned to the valley, after several years absence. It is most welcome. The heat is almost how I remember it, searing and humid. The storms are how I remember them, lots of thunder and lightning, and a good cleansing rain. Things really grow with this type of weather, it is good.
Who’s your hero? Myself. I live by my own rules. What kind of animal would you be? A dog, people wait on you, feed you and let you sleep all day. Where would you like to travel to most? The Netherlands. Dream Car? Black Escalade.
A crazy thing is happening and you can read about it almost every week during the summer. A human, hiking, biking or walking in a mountain park will encounter a bear. If the bear charges, or happens to be perceived as presenting a danger to the humans, it is either shot, or removed and relocated. In the case of someone being mauled or killed by a bear, and the authorities cannot properly identify the perpetrator, then the nearest three, four or half dozen bears are killed just to make sure. This is a national park mind you, which should be the last, and the best place of refuge for our wild animals. I did say crazy. You go into the mountain parks of your own accord, knowing full well that these are home to black bears and grizzlies. Entering the park, you are given information regarding how to avoid, or at least mitigate any problems should you encounter a bear. If you are smart, you follow the rules and return, perhaps never even having seen a bear, or experiencing no problems with any you might have seen. We are a province with a growing population, and with a resource based economy, more and easier access is given to the back country, where the bear has long been number one. It is his home; we are noisy, disruptive, littering intruders, and as such we can hardly expect to be greeted with open arms. We must learn the rules of bear etiquette, abide by them and hope the bear appreciates the effort, otherwise here might be an appropriate headline: “Seven Campers Euthanized After Encounter With Bear” Seven campers had to be euthanized Saturday after authorities could not identify which one was responsible for leaving food scraps around the fire pit. The bear entered the campground after being enticed by the smell of left over hot dogs, and a can of bacon grease that had been left sitting out. Three other campers were relocated outside the park after admitting to having a prohibited open fire. Harsh you say. Maybe, but irresponsibility has a price, and nature does not suffer fools lightly. Hiking and camping in the mountain parks is a privilege, but these are wild places, and whatever may befall you, good or bad, comes with that wildness. When you enter, you accept that responsibility. If you cannot do that, then stay out of the mountain parks wilderness, you may save a bear's life.

He enjoys racing on the Drumheller track. “There’s a lot of pressure when racing in front of your hometown crowd,” he remarked, “but it just helps you go faster.” The drivers look forward to the fans joining them in the pits after the races. Kids of all ages can ask questions, meet the drivers and take pictures up close with their favourite racer and the racers get close to their fans because, after all, fans are the reason they race. You can see Nathan Tupper, along with other racers, on Saturday, September 10 at Dinosaur Downs Speedway, as they reach speeds of up to 120 mph on the dirt track fighting for the checkered flag.
