To think just last Friday, June 4, the sun was so bright that some visitors from Saskatchewan (left) couldn't hold a pose because of the bright shining sun. (front to back) Julia and Jack Dennis, Kale Lammers and Joceylyn Pederson were visiting the valley. To learn more of what the valley has to offer as well as a comprehensive map with all the attractions, check out The Weekender in this week’s edition of inSide Drumheller. A little drizzle doesn’t stop Bill Eremko (top right) from making his rounds on his 40th anniversary Tim Horton Schwinn cruiser. On Thursday, June 10, he was decked out in his bright blue rain suit running errands as if the sun never quit shining. It was five years ago, almost to the date that the Michichi Creek (bottom right) began to flow in reverse as the water level of the Red Deer River continued to rise. On Wednesday June 9 Alberta Environment issued a High Streamflow Advisory for the Red Deer River upstream of the Dickson Dam. This means that stream levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly, however no major flooding is expected. Minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible. While there is no current advisory in the area and the weekend is expected to bring sun, more rain is forecasted in the coming week.

inSide Streeters Following the BP Oil disaster, suggestions are being made that it is time to rethink our oil consumption. Canada being the world’s leading oil user, inSide Drumheller asked “Has the BP Oil disaster affected the way you view oil consumption in Canada?“

Nikki Piecowye

“I don’t know that we can reduce our consumption, but if we could find an alternative then that’d be great.”

Melissa Wilton

“For sure we should look at our oil consumption, but I felt that prior to this disaster.”

Low numbers at facility tender opening O.R Sheddy | Mail editor

Surprisingly low tender figures were the result of the tender document opening at Town Council Chambers Wednesday afternoon. Shortly after 2 p.m., town CAO Ray Romanetz opened the tenders, along with project architect David Edmunds. “The tender results are very favourable compared to the cost estimates for the project," said CAO Romanetz.

Have health questions? We’re here to help.

Chances are you’re not alone when it comes to health matters that affect us the most. Here, your questions are answered by our local pharmacists of Riverside Value Drug Mart.

A:

When I pick up my prescription from my pharmacist what questions should I ask? When picking up a prescription it is important to know what you are taking the medication for, how to take this medication, what are the side effects to watch out for, and whether or not this new medication conflicts with any of your current medications. Leave knowing all this but don’t be afraid to call if any questions arise. A friend of mine told me to stop taking my prescribed medications and switch to herbal or natural remedies instead. He says these products are safer. Is this true? That is absolutely false. Herbal and natural remedies may have adverse effects just as pharmaceutical medications do. It is important to note, that pharmaceutical drugs have their origins from plants. While herbal medications have their place in society, be aware that most of these medications have not gone through extensive clinical trials to see their efficacy, potential side effects, interactions, and adverse effects. Contact your doctor or pharmacist and they should be able to find any information (if it is available) on a particular herbal medication. Finally, never stop a current medication without letting your doctor or pharmacist know as there could be complications with suddenly stopping a medication.

Do you have a talent for Sales? Your search is over!

Attendees of the Old Grouch’s 24-Hour Jam in support of STARS were given a powerful reason to continue to support the event and STARS. This was the fourth year the 24-Hour Jam has supported STARS Air Ambulance and on Saturday, June 5 afternoon Christine McDougald bravely stood up in front of those gathered to support the event to tell her story, a survivor’s story. In February 2004, McDougald attended the Drumheller Health Centre for a routine procedure following the birth of her daughter. Because of complications she was losing blood faster than doctors could replace it. She learned STARS were called because to travel to Calgary by ground ambulance, she would have never made it to get the help she needed in time to save her life. “I made sure to tell my husband to make sure our children knew how much I loved them,” she told the crowd gathered who hung on every word she spoke. “My pain was gone and I was at peace, but I was aware that this was it.” She received emergency surgery, but even after that, she was still losing blood. She received numerous transfusions. “My family was told all they could do was pray, because there was nothing more that could be done,” she said. “But anyone who knows me, knows I am a fighter, and that’s exactly what I did. I fought my way back to my three children, including 18-day-old Delaney.” “STARS gave me that chance to fight, and without them I would have died here in Drumheller Hospital.” This was not the first time Christine has shared her intimate story. She lent her words to a STARS mail-out campaign and it raised in the area of $600,000 for the organization. This was one of the busiest 24-Hour Jam in recent memory according to organizer Fran Nargang. She said the donation of items to the silent auction were up from previous years, and bidding for the most part was fierce. Entertainer after entertainer made their way onto the stage to lend their talents to the cause and keep toes tapping

throughout the night and into the morning. This was also the first year STARS Air Ambulance came to the event. On Saturday afternoon, they set up tables with merchandise and information on the organization. Fran said they are on track to at least matching last year’s total, but they might have a boost from the infamous “Skorting of the Garry.”

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome by C. Aiello

I read a column in the Calgary Herald last Thursday, written by one of my favorite columnists, American Pulitzer Prize winner George Will. Mr. Will could be considered a conservative, but mostly a man of uncommon common sense. He writes for the Washington Post, and his theme of the column was “the limits of the welfare state.” He references two former presidents and their opposite views on the role of government. Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921) and James Madison (1809-1917) saw the role of government from almost opposite ends. Mr. Will explained. Woodrow Wilson rejected the idea of a “limiting principle”, and thereby rejecting the idea of “limited government”. Madison on the other hand, believed strongly in a limited government, whose purpose it is to protect the excerise of natural rights that pre-exist government, the principles of proper conduct that are essential to the pursuit of happiness. Progressives such as Wilson (and it seems every other present day politician) believed that history rather than nature, defines governments unlimited purposes; that governments exist to dispense an increasingly large array of rights. This insinuation of more and more rights is taken as progress toward a more just and tolerant society. The assumption being that evolution and progression mean improvement, a totally false assumption. These next are Mr. Will’s words, and are so good and true that I must give them verbatim: “Progressivism’s promise is a program for every problem, and progressivism’s premise is that every unfulfilled desire is a problem. To go further: “Needs breed rights to have those needs addressed.” As humans, our list of needs and desires is never ending, and a progressive government will provide the rights to meet that limitless demand. Again I defer to Mr. Will: “The one right that never makes the list is the right to keep some inviolable portion of one’s private income or wealth, regardless of the lofty purposes social reformers wish to make of it.” Lacking any sort of “limiting principle, progressive governments cannot say how big the welfare state can be, but can only know that it must be bigger. This last bit from Mr. Will’s column was itself taken from a book written by William Voegeli, entitled, “Never Enough - American’s Limitless Welfare State.” To me, and apparently to Mr. Will, it sums up perfectly the welfare state and socialism. Read it carefully and absorb it, for it describes a dangerous thing, and our country is far ahead of America when it comes to welfare and entitlements. “By blackening the skies with criss crossing dollars, the welfare state encourages people to believe in an impossibility: that every household can be a net importer of the wealth redistributed by government.” The problem, and the impossibility, are the fallacy of socialism, namely that you will always run out of other peoples money (Courtesy Margaret Thatcher). Government must therefore control themselves, and in a democracy who is the government? Unfortunately, socialism and democracy cannot abide the first, will weaken the second and the second cannot dwell in the same house, the first will weaken the second, and the second cannot abide the first, so it is down to people. It is we who must restraux ourselves and demand the same from those we elect, as in a democracy it is who the people we are the government. 23m

Artifacts uncovered at Atlas Coal Mine Pascale Taylor Weekender

Atlas Coal Mine volunteer Bob Moffatt found an old device at the mine, called a torpedo, pictured above with Moffatt. These devices were placed on railway lines and would detonate when the wheels of a train would pass over it, warning the train engineer to be cautious of possible danger ahead. Weekender photo by Pascale Taylor

The East Coulee Atlas Coal Mine appears to be a mine of artifacts as items are still being unearthed.

Recently, Bob Moffatt, who used to be a pony driver in the mines, found a device called a ‘railway torpedo’ at the site. “We had no idea that they even existed or were used onsite,” said excutive director Linda Dibgy. Moffatt found the device at the mine and knew straight away what he had found. “When I was young, I worked on section gang, maintaining and repairing track,” he said. “All of a sudden, when I was checking out the new track, I saw this device and thought ‘My god, this looks like a torpedo’. I was wondering if it was even the right name for it as it is close to 60 years since I last saw one.” He explained to The Weekender that those devices were used to warn train engineers of possible danger ahead. Strapped on top of the rail track, the torpedo would explode with a loud bang and a flash when the wheel of the train would pass over it, giving a warning to train engineers to be cautious of workers or an accident on the track. “We used them when we were working on tracks so it would

The foundation is about halfway to reaching its goal to purchase the equipment. The garden party is to celebrate Art in the Badlands and is slated for Thursday, June 17, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Drumheller Health Centre. The live auction begins at 5:30 p.m. In case of rain, this date will be moved to the following week to Thursday, June 24. The party will be held in Bidder peruse some of the dozens of items at last year’s garden parthe Recreation Therapy ty in support of the Drumheller Area Health Foundation. This year’s event is slated for Thursday, June 17.

The wet weather, busier work load and technical problems Victor Bustamante has experienced recently haven’t deterred him from persevering as the Ride to Conquer Cancer he is undertaking approaches. In just two weeks, on June 2627, Bustamante will take on the challenge of riding 200 kilometres in two days across the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, in order to raise money to conquer cancer, as reported in the May 14 edition of inSide Drumheller. When inSide caught up with Bustamante, he explained that training had been diďŹƒcult due to the wet weather, and work at the museum had become busier with the season starting to pick up. He had also encountered a few technical problems with his bike and needed a replacement part. “With the weather, work getting busier and the technical problems I have had with my bike, it has been tough,â€? he said. “This week I couldn’t ride, so

I have been running more and I squeezed some swimming in there too. But I got the part I needed for my bike yesterday so I should be able to ride it as soon as it stops raining.� Worried about not being able to train as hard as he had wanted to, he told inSide Drumheller that he was aware his friends hadn’t either. “At least we are all going to suffer together,� he laughed. A busier working schedule has also meant he hasn’t been able to put too much time into fundraising. “It’s tough. I still have about $1,000 to go,� he said. “On the positive side, I have just found out from IGA that I can take over the fundraising BBQ taking place this Saturday morning in their parking lot, as someone has cancelled. So I jumped at this opportunity.� Bustamante will also be taking his recumbent bike to the BBQ so people can take a look at the unusual cycle he has used during his training, weather permitting!

To fundraise for his two-day 200 km Ride to Conquer Cancer, Victor Bustamante will be hosting a BBQ at IGA on Saturday, June 12, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. filephoto
