inSide STREETERS After the streets of Vancouver erupted in violence following the Canucks’ game seven loss of the Stanley Cup finals, inSide Drumheller asks, “Did the street riots mar the season for the Canucks?”

Tim Sather “It mars the City of Vancouver. The Canucks can be proud of what the team did.”

Brandin Gwinner “The Canucks had a good run. Devon and I want to know who the kissing couple are.”

Chucks rained out, April Wine will still perform Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The Richard Cosgrave Memorial Badlands Dinosaur Derby scheduled for this weekend has been oﬃcially postponed and so far, no future date has been set. On Wednesday morning, the World Professional Chuckwagon Association (WPCA) said that after inspecting the facility they could not run. “We have to look at all of the factors, as much as we hate to postpone a race we cannot in good conscience race in unsafe conditions,” explains WPCA President, Pat Powell. “We hope to return to Drumheller later in the season, they are a great supporter of us and we want to put on a world class show for their fans and sponsors.” According to Kelly Carson, operations manager for the WPCA, the heavy rain made the track unusable, and the parking on the site was very slippery. WPCA track inspectors Kelly Sutherland and Layne MacGillivray were on site Wednesday to assess the track and facility. They deemed the conditions unsafe for competition. They pulled the plug on the event at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Carson acknowledges the hard work put into the track by the

Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society, but unfortunately there is not much they can do about the rain. According to a statement from the WPCA, “This decision is not made lightly by either group, but as with everything the WPCA and the Drumheller Stampede & Ag Society put the safety of the horses, drivers, and outrider ﬁrst. A favourite stop on the WPCA Dodge Pro Tour, the drivers and WPCA personnel hope to return later in the season.” Carson said the event is oﬃcially postponed, although at this time the race has not been rescheduled. He adds there may be room in the schedule for a new

date. Mike Hansen vice president of the Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society said the WPCA made the decision. He felt they might have been able to salvage the event. “We had gravel lined up for the road through Gallagher trucking so we could get them in,” said Hansen. “Coming out of the inﬁeld is where we have that big hole, and all we needed was a hoe so I could scoop it out and put dry ﬁll in and put a cap on it so would be good.” Hansen adds that April Wine will still be performing at the Stampede Barn this Saturday night.

Elim Pentecostal purchases Central School Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller Elim Pentecostal Church’s $100,000 purchase of Central School from Golden Hills School Division was approved by the division on Tuesday afternoon, and the church hopes to receive the keys next week. “We’re stoked for it, it’s been a lot of work to get to the place

we’re at now,” says Elim Pentecostal’s pastor Daniel Dannhauer, adding they still have legal hurdles to jump but says they are probably about three weeks away from oﬃcially controlling the vacant school. He says now the church will be busy preparing for a grand opening planned for September long weekend. Along with leasing

Dannhauer says there are a number of repairs needed on the building, included a leaky roof and two boilers in need of maintenance. “Some minor adjustments need to be made,” he said. The church is already starting to clean up the space. Bids for Central School, which sat vacant after renovations on the Drumheller Valley Secondary School were completed in January, opened in May. After experiencing substancial growth in the last number of years, Elim Pentecostal Church says they have recognized a need for a larger facility.

Locals return from charity work in Andes of Peru Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

A Drumheller couple has returned from charity work in a remote village in the mountains of Peru and say it was the experience of a life time. Joanne Dumaine and her husband Ray were in Pamparomas, a hilltop village in the Andes at 9,000 feet altitude with a population of 500 people. They were working with the St. James Church there, touching up furniture in school houses and preparing a small museum for the locals. Leaving on May 12, to Lima they then spent 12 hours on bus travelling to the village, up hill for the last leg of the journey. They spent three weeks there. “One wrong move and you’re a goner,” says Joanne of the ride, driven by British Columbian Father David Johnson of the

church who has been working in Peru for 20 years. Joanne and Ray travelled with her brother and his wife. “It wasn’t easy. First, it was hard to get used to living in a small town like that and not having the conveniences of

home. That was the hardest part,” says Joanne. “But once we cleaned up our little living quarters it was quite ﬁne.” She says the Andes were beautiful, “lush and green”, after arriving there shortly after their rainy season. “It’s a very

interesting country, there is just such a variety of climates there.” The men worked with the school for a week, repairing desks and chairs for the kids and building shelves and stairs for the parish. The women cleaned, painted, varnished the small museum they were just starting there, containing artifacts from the Peruvian days, says Joanne. “There was nobody there to do repairs, it took about a week because everything was so broken down and just old.” They spent time sorting donated clothes as well. “It wasn’t a vacation at all, the only day we had to roam around was our last day in Lima before we came home,” says Joanne. Ray and Joanne, both in their early 60’s, had been thinking about a trip like this for a while, and when her brother called to see if they wanted to join them, she couldn’t turn down the “once in a lifetime opportunity.” “We wanted to do some mission work for a long time, it was something that wouldn’t come up again soon.”

“Just to be able to be amongst people who were so appreciative, and such a different culture, it was probably something we’ll never do again. It’s not the same as going on the mainland. When you go up to the Andes you get immersed in the real culture, the real Peru.” The main source of living for the locals is step farming: grains, corn, potatoes, carrots. Joanne even had a chance to try a Peruvian delicacy – guinea pigs. “It was something like rabbit, it’s like a dark meat,” she says. “They always say it tastes like chicken, but it definitely tastes like rabbit. It’s got that wild taste to it.” Most people think of building houses when people are off on missionary work. All the houses there are built out of brick with mud and straw mortar in between. “As crude as they are, that’s what they are used to. They are happy – probably happier than people with million dollar homes in North America,” she said.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED THIS SEASON

Parking attendants, concession workers, bus greeters and many ushers are needed to make this year a success. Volunteer shifts run from 4:30-9:30 pm on July 14, 15, 16, 21 & 22 and from 1:30-6:30 on July 17, 23 & 24. Please contact Alyssa at 403-823-2001, ext. 222 or email volunteer.pplay@gmail.com.

IT’S PARADE TIME!!

Lori Stefanishion | inSide Drumheller Food Columnist

Summer Salads! This salad sings of summertime and barbecue season! You can prep the ingredients ahead of time, relax and then spend 10 minutes at the barbecue right before it’s time to eat.

Grilled Romaine Toss ¼ c. olive oil 3 Tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. dried rosemary 1 tsp. dried thyme ¼ tsp. salt ¼ tsp. pepper 8 plum tomatoes, quartered 2 large sweet onions, sliced thin 4 Romaine hearts • Combine the first 6 ingredients, then toss with the vegetables. Grill in a basket for about 10 minutes, until tender. Stir frequently. • Meanwhile, cut 4 Romaine hearts in half lengthwise and brush with oil, salt and pepper. Place cut sides down on grill and cook 3 mins each side until slightly charred and wilted. • Chop coarsely, then assemble on platter with tomato mixture on top. • Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Dressing: ¼ c. olive oil ¼ c. balsamic vinegar 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 Tbsp. brown sugar Process until smooth • I mixed the marinade ingredients and placed in separate ziplocs – one with the onion and one with the tomato. I let them sit in the fridge for the afternoon, then grilled the onions a bit longer to begin with, so they would caramelize a bit. Then, I added the tomato for about 5 more minutes, as I didn’t want them too soft. • For a dressing, I used a bottled garlic balsamic - it was easy and delicious.

You might want to try this out with a Father’s Day barbecue – it would go well with beer can chicken and a nice potato salad! 24l

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Move over Aries because someone new wants to share the spotlight for a little while. You may be reticent to give up the spotlight, but even the sun has to retire for the night.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you don't have to prove yourself to anyone, so why are you always seeking someone else's approval? Try thinking for yourself this week, and you may be surprised at the results.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there's a financial opportunity on the horizon and you just have to find out how to get in on the action. Scorpio may be able to lend some information this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Quiet contemplation can yield a few answers to the things you want to know, Scorpio. You often take for granted the silent moments that are offered.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you'll have to make the most of a situation because there's nothing you can do this week to change the outcome. It may be a tough couple of days. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take time to foster personal relationships, especially with a person you love dearly. There hasn't been much time for romance, but now you can change the situation for the better. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 There is a monster task in front of you, Leo, and all you need is to muster the strength to begin it. Some words of encouragement from friends might do the trick. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 A completely fresh perspective can shed light onto something that has been giving you headaches, Virgo. Take the opportunity to reestablish goals, and you'll be on track.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, not every hour of the day needs to be packed with activity. Others won't look to you as if you're slacking off if you take some time to relax. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Obligations at home can take some time away from your "me" time, Capricorn. But that is the price you pay for being such an integral part of your family dynamic. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it takes you a little while to warm up to others, but once you do, you'll find that you can be the best of friends and highly devoted. This week you prove this virtue. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, letting others do a lot for you may seem like a good idea at first, but it might just lead to problems down the road.

Badlands full of picturesque places The Weekender inSide Drumheller

It’s 6:30 in the morning and the sun is just starting to stretch out over the horizon. Here you stand atop a cliff marveling at majestic hoodoos millions of years in the making, a glint of dew marbling off the brush nearby and the sound of native swallows echoing in the distance. The light seems to cascade through what was once a bustling river valley and in the distance you see a fox traipsing across this breathtaking tapestry. In the Canadian Badlands, moments like these are easy to find. Filled with modern, historic and prehistoric wonders, photographers have plenty of options in the Canadian Badlands when searching for their next composition. That’s why the Badlands (www.canadianbadlands.com) has a photography tour to help you along the way. Naturally, there’s plenty of

unique geography thanks to the exposed layers of sediment in Dinosaur Provincial Park. But there’s so much else out there! From the Dry Island Buﬀalo Jump north of Three Hills to the meandering Milk River near the Alberta-Montana border, the Canadian Badlands has plenty of opportunities for shutterbugs of all experience levels to capture some magical moments. Did you know the Badlands are one of the sunniest regions in Canada? That means more light and more hours of opportunity to capture something magniﬁcent. All those extra rays also mean you’ll have an easier time stopping the action of antelope running across the prairie, a Golden Hawk soaring overhead or whatever else you need a high shutter speed for. Nature is obviously a huge part of the photographic possibilities, but don’t forget the people and the places you’ll come across either. Whether it’s a smiling face

in Drumheller or the impressive architecture of Lethbridge’s High Level Bridge, you’re only limited by your imagination – but don’t count out the inspiration you’re bound to encounter either. Look out across the brilliant fields of wheat, corn and canola in all their shades of yellow and green and brown, but try some different angles too. Look up at the 20-story-tall Saamis Teepee in Medicine Hat or down into the blossom of a cactus. No matter which angle you take you’re bound to find something you hadn’t considered before. To find the Badlands photography tours go to www.canadianbadlands.com and click on Touring Routes, then Activity Tours. You’ll find tips, discover new places and look at ones you already know in a whole new light. After such a busy day, don’t forget you still have the sunset. Might want to dial down your shutter speed – you’ve been exposed to a lot today.

There are no shortages of beautiful places to snap photos of in the Badlands, from the mystery inspiring hoodoos to the wildlife which seems to be everywhere. weekender photo by Kyle Smylie

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.

Head to head

In the Hanna Motor Products lane is Shawn Bulechowsky in his 1984 Corvette with a 605ci. Chevy big block and a 871 blower pushing 25 lbs of boost. The Vette is running in the area of 1,500 horsepower, but capable of 2,000. In the Hanna Chrysler lane is Greg Benzon, and newest member of his Pit crew, Ty, with the Hemisaurus. The 1932 altered Bantam Hemisaurus is running a Hemi, of course, bored and stoked to 526ci. It is pushing out about 1,400 horsepower, through a 871 blower, but Benzon says it can be easily tuned up to 1,600. This power reaches the wheels through a two speed Powerglide transmission. The two racers have met before and they will meet again next weekend at the Hanna Cruisers Rock and Roll Racing. The two Drumheller rides will be going head to head in feature races on Saturday and Sunday, June 25 and 26, setting up the classic battle of Chev versus Mopar, Rosedale versus Newcastle, Dinosaur versus Tarzan. inSide photos by Patrick Kolafa

CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Live Right Now filming at WLD on Sunday Kyle Smylie The Weekender

A rally is being held this Sunday as CBC will be at the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Dinosaur ďŹ lming for a segment of their Live Right Now program. Drumhealthier, a local group who has been promoting healthy activities in the valley, has garnered the attention of the segment's producers. The group is asking anyone who participants in

activities such as yoga, sports, walking groups, etc. to attend the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Dinosaur at 1:00 p.m. this Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come out and show how active Drumheller is,â&#x20AC;? says Drumhealthierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tara Semchuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to feature us and our Drumhealthier Challenge. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show Canada what we have.â&#x20AC;? The group was inspired by the prospect of CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health show Village on a Diet ďŹ lming their second season in Drum-

heller. This rally and a display of the active mindedness of Drumheller may help bring the show here if their season is renewed by the network. Live Right Now is a national initiative designed to inspire Canadians to join together and change the health of this country. The idea is built around the small steps everyone can take in their life to improve their health.

Did somebody Say Timmies? The valley is living the dream as last Friday Tim Hortons opened its doors and drive through, and as expected the response was great, especially to the new addition of the Stone Cold Creamery Ice Cream Parlour. Jenna Krienke samples some of the ice cream on opening day. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Suspension bridge worth the drive to Rosedale The Weekender inSide Drumheller

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 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 in-

cluded 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.

The 117 metre Star Mine Suspension Bridge in Rosedale is a charming piece of valley nostalgia, where miners crossed to toil in the Star Mine across the Red Deer River. mailfile photo

DVSS senior high awards

inSide Drumheller | inSideDrumheller.com

Kyle Smylie| inSide Drumheller The Heritage Ball Classic tournament scheduled for this weekend at the Hoodoo Campground has been postponed until the weekend of July 9 and 10, because of the wet weather experienced this week and more rain expected over the weekend. It will be held at the Newcastle ball diamonds on Saturday, July 9 and Sunday, July 10, rather than the previous location at Hoodoo Campground. The classic heritage match will be held on July 9. Look in this upcoming Wednesday’s Drumheller Mail for more details.

Students awarded for improving schools

Students at both Drumheller Valley Secondary School and St. Anthony’s School were rewarded for their work in the Cenovus Energy Connections program, which saw them leave on a four day retreat to camp after completing work to better their school’s environment. (left) These students started Rachel’s Challenge at DVSS, in remembrance of Rachel Joy Scott who was the first victim at the Columbine School shooting. They say many students were touched by the challenge on May 4 and an Anti-Homophobia Day on May 3. Pictured from left is: instructor Jeff Brooks, Matthew Frisky, Cody Bryant, De-

siree MacFarlane, and Connection’s Alix MacDonald. (right) St. Anthony’s also attended the camp after bringing in a cross cultural simulation game called Bafa Bafa to Grade 7 and 8 students at their school. They hoped to give students a new look at how the foreign students feel when they enter St. Anthony's. Pictured from left is: (back) Nathan Graf and Travis Stirrett. (front) Sarah Contenti and Darby Andrus. Students received a $550 bursary to cover expenses to attend the four day retreat at Camp Kiwanis. inSide photos by Kyle Smylie

Careless driving habits targeted by Drumheller RCMP submitted| inSide Drumheller

Drumheller RCMP Staﬀ Sergeant Arthur Hopkins submitted this to inSide Drumheller to warn drivers to be cautious of their habits while operating a vehicle. The Drumheller RCMP Detachment receives numerous complaints each year associated to driving violations. Many of these oﬀenders reported nonresidents to the area and are

sometimes confused by our roads around the World’s Largest Dinosaur. I have recently spent some time watching various intersections while working and while on my off duty time. During these periods, I have noticed a large number of the local residents committing similar offences. Any of these offences would cause you to receive a “FAIL” if you were taking a drivers exam, yet we continue to do them believing it is now alright. We are all very quick to criticize

others driving habits without evaluating our own. We are all creatures of habit and no doubt have developed some bad driving habits that we don’t even notice. Here are some of the obvious violations that I have observed: - Not coming to a “complete” stop at a stop sign. If the legislators wanted you to slow down, the sign would say slow down not stop. - Turning right at a stop sign or red light without stopping.

Again we all know what a red light or stop sign means. - Speeding - Failing to yield to pedestrians - Failing to wear seatbelts - Children in vehicles without being in a Child Safety seat. - Improper lane usage. Turning into the wrong lane - Fail to signal - Distracted driving (cell phones, texting, reading) These are just a few. I would like to challenge all of the licensed drivers to review their

own driving habits, and make a conscious eﬀort to abide by the applicable laws. The life you save, or injuries that are avoided may be your own. As we are now into the tourist season, vehicles and pedestrians have increased. I have directed the members of the Drumheller detachment to pay closer attention to moving violations and to increase their enforcement efforts. Please do your part.
