BACtoBAC receives grant to expand

With the first day of summer and the first real heat hitting the valley Wednesday, inSide Drumheller asked residents to finish the sentence, “You know it’s summer in Drumheller when...”

Ed Duhn “... you’re sweatin’ and not movin’.”

Bobbi Lyren “...when you gotta’ peel your butt off the seat.”

The BACtoBAC program has taken another great leap forward last week as it learned it was successful in its application to receive a grant to expand the new project. The project has learned that Encana will contribute $4,200 towards two large capacity bins for the recycling project. They are planning to locate thee bins centrally, possibly at local recycling stations. BACtoBAC is a simple but powerful program. It is an easy way for residents to recycle their drinking containers while at the same time support local charities. The project kicked oﬀ this month, the bottles are collected and sorted, and the funds from bottle deposits are divided among The Salvation Army, The Morgan Jayne Project, the Drumheller and District Humane Society and DARTS. On Wednesday, recycling boxes were placed in a number of locations such as the splash park, Freson Bros. IGA, Canadian Tire and World’s Largest Dinosaur. These boxes are the same size as the park garbage cans and are handy for the times you have a bottle in hand, and have nowhere to put it. Late last week it was learned that Encana would

grant funding for the larger recycling bins. These larger bins will make it easier for residents to bring bottles from home and donate them. Fred Makowecki of the Morgan Jayne Project says the project has created a simple way for people to give to the charity. Lt. Rachel Sheils of The Salvation Army says along with the support to local groups, she is hopeful the project will reduce the number of containers that go into the landﬁll.

The funds will be used to purchase two large capacity bins for residents to easily recycle their bottles. inSide photo by O.R. Sheddy.

Canada Day schedule set Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Canada Day festivities schedule has been announced and once again, a full day of local events with homegrown talent will entertain the hundreds who ﬂock downtown on July 1. Your mother may have told you years ago that a good breakfast is the best way to start the day. She’s right and the Drumheller Kinsmen will be serving up a great one at Riverside Value Drug Mart starting at 7 a.m. After that, get your spot on the parade route because it begins to wind through town at 10 a.m. This year’s theme is “Celebrating the Valley’s Coal Mining Centennial.” There is still time to register your ﬂoat. For more information contact the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce at 403-823-8100 or go to www.drumhellerchamber.com to download a registration form.

The parade is just the beginning of a full day of events. The Drumheller Memorial Arena will be teeming with shoppers at the annual farmers market and there will be a barbecue in support of the Morgan Jayne Project. This won’t be the only place to ﬁnd sustenance, as there is a smoky on a bun barbecue at the Drumheller Co-op in support of the Palliative Care starting at noon and the Rotary Club has its annual beef on a bun at the Freson Bros. IGA. The main stage and the site of the afternoon entertainment will be in the shadow of the World’s Largest Dinosaur. Because of the construction of the Badlands Community Facility, last year the festivities were moved west to the splash park area. According to Karla Desilets, FCSS coordinator at the Town of Drumheller, the move has worked out well for the celebration.

“I think it is a natural setting for this type of event, it fits well. I am glad we made the change,” she says. There will be all kinds of music and activities in the park for the whole family. There will also be a toonie swim at the Drumheller Aquaplex to cool off. Òne attraction this year that is sure to draw a crowd is the Clinker Cup Celebrity Miner Challenge. The Atlas Coal Mine has helped organizers put together some challenges to test some local celebrity’s mining skills. This will start at 12:30 p.m. As the music and fun continue through the day, there is one very

Bernie Fournier notches fifth hole-in-one Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

One man, one club, one ball, one strike, one hole. A hole-in-one is usually a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hole-in-one insurers put the odds at 1 in 12,500 on a par 3. Even the pros have a 1 in 2,500 chance at it.

Bernie Fournier has done it ﬁve times, and he has unlocked the secret. “I guess I hit the ball right, and close my eyes at the right time,” he chuckles. His experience does help as typically he plays three times a week, even more in previous seasons. His latest came on the

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome Apparently, in an eﬀort to wake Senators dozing through the Throne Speech a couple of weeks ago, a young, female page held up a sign that read “STOP HARPER”. I doubt that a sign like that is going to keep a senator from snoozing, but the manner in which the young lady presented the sign might produce the desired result. This is directly from POST MEDIA NEWS: “She said she had folded the sign into her skirt, and when she passed the senators, she lifted it up.” I’m guessing a few eyes popped open. Then again, this is most likely an unfortunate choice of wording, undiscovered by any editor, yeah, that’s probably it, but it struck me funny.

seventh hole. He was golﬁng with Dan Hird, Spud Hermata and Mike Behuniak. Interestingly enough, it came on his 72nd birthday. If you think the odds of that happening are slim, consider this; his ﬁrst hole-in-one was in the 1980’s and it was on his anniversary, his second came on Thanksgiving. Another interesting point is he has scored one in the last three consecutive years. His most successful hole at Dinosaur Trail is number 5, where he has made it three times. He also connected on hole number 7 and 16. This leaves number 12 as the last par 3 on the course for him to conquer. “That’s my next plan,” he laughs.

Bernie Fournier made his fifth hole-in-one earlier this month, on his 72nd birthday. Now he is aiming to make the shot on hole 12 at Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Novice Raptors compete in lacrosse playoﬀs this weekend Kyle Symlie | inSide Drumheller

The Badlands Lacrosse Novice Raptors are the only Drumheller squad in the Central Alberta Lacrosse League Playoffs after beating out Innisfail and Sylvan Lake this past weekend in Red Deer. Dan’s Oilfield Raptors will be heading into the second round of playoffs this Friday in Red Deer again at the Collicutt Centre against the Lacoka (Lacombe and Ponoka) team at 7:15 p.m. They are coming off a three game weekend this past weekend, winning 7-5 against Innisfail and 6-4 against Sylvan Lake Friday and Saturday respectively, band a loss to a Red Deer team 6-4 on Sunday. “I’ll be proud of them even if we lose,” says head coach Ren Dumaine, adding if the team wins Friday they’ll be moving onto semi-finals. The Raptors finished in seventh place this season, with Lacoka finishing sixth. “It should be a great game if everyone comes out and plays with their heart,d we should be able to take them,” says Dumaine. There are only 10 players on the Raptor’s roster, and only two players had played lacrosse prior to this season. “We basically had all rookies and they developed so

good and tried hard all year. We’ve got where we are now, and we’ve been doing great. If we lose on Friday I’d be so happy with how the kids have come so far,” said Dumaine. “They’re just drenched in sweat by the end of games. It’s been tough, but they’ve really been giving it hard and it’s paid oﬀ. I’m proud.” Every other team from the Badlands Lacrosse Associa-

tion has been eliminated. “It gets tougher as you get older to compete with the bigger cities. The players have to practice on their own time as well,” says Dumaine, adding the team practices twice a week and averages about two games a weekend throughout the two month season.

Dan’s Oilfield Novice Raptors are the only Drumheller team standing in the Central Alberta Lacrosse League playoffs, as they compete for a chance to enter the semi-finals this Friday in Red Deer against Lacoka (Lacombe and Ponoka). They won two games and lost one this past weekend.

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.

Tyrrell’s daily summer programming begins Kyle Smylie The Weekender

QUOTE

Although the popular Badlands Science Camp is booked up this summer, the Royal Tyrrell Museum is offering a wide array of handson programming throughout the summer. “We make them as engaging and interactive as possible,” says Earle Wiebe of the Tyrrell.

lows participants to make their very own fossil replica in the 45-minute indoor program. It allows participants to learn about the fossil’s origin and when and why casts are used to preserve the specimens brought into the laboratory of the museum. The Dinosite program allows participants as young as four years old to pros-

pect for fossils, investigate real dinosaur remains, and learn about the creatures and landscape of ancient Alberta in a 90-minute journey through the badlands. Excavate in a realistic quarry and participate in a badlands dinosaur adventure in the Junior Dinosaur Explorers program oﬀered to kids aged 7-12 years old. It’s an

afternoon of fun, hands on learning oﬀered daily starting this Saturday until late August. Those interested in the summer programs oﬀered by the Tyrrell this summer can register online at www.tyrrellmuseum.com or by phoning the museum at 403-8237707.

Distracted driving law in effect September 1 Kyle Smylie The Weekender

Drumheller RCMP are prepared for the most comprehensive distracted driving legislation to come into eﬀect on September 1, which will see a ban on a number of activities while drivers are behind the wheel. “It’s one of our priorities that we’re going to work towards,” says Drumheller RCMP Staﬀ Sergeant Arthur Hopkins, “Hopefully we’ll be able to put some time towards education.” The new law prohibits the use of hand-held cellphones for talking or texting, the use of other electronic devices, reading, writing and personal grooming while driving. The September 1 date was announced on Wednesday, June 22. Drivers can still use cellphones or radio communication devices, but only if they use them in a hands-free or voice-activated manner. This means the device is not held in the driver’s hand and is activated by voice or a single touch to the device. Drivers may use a hand-held citizen’s band (CB) or two-way radio when escorting oversized vehicles, to contact one’s employer, or when

participating in search, rescue and emergency management situations. “This legislation is another step forward in our traffic safety efforts and an important addition to our overall traffic safety strategy,” said Minister of Transportation Luke Ouellette in a press release on June 22. “I am confident this new law, which is practical and enforceable, will help to keep Albertans safer while on the road and that’s something we can all support. We all have a role to play in traffic safety and I encourage Albertans to start practising safer driving habits today.” Several international studies show that 20 to 30 per cent of all collisions involve driver distraction, and distracted drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a collision than attentive drivers, says the Alberta government. “This legislation gives law enforcement agencies in Alberta an additional tool to help make our roads safer,” said Frank Oberle, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security. “We are sending an extremely strong traffic safety message to motorists across the province: When you’re in your vehicle, your focus must be on

driving.” Under the new law, the following will not be allowed: talking on a hand-held cellphone; texting and/or e-mailing; using electronic devices like laptop computers, video games, cameras, video entertainment displays and programming portable audio players (e.g., mp3 players); manually entering information on GPS units, reading printed material like a book or a magazine; writing, printing or sketching; personal grooming like combing your hair, applying makeup or brushing your teeth; using a citizen’s band (CB) or two-way radio (some exemptions apply). Activities allowed while driving under this law will be: using a cellphone in hands-free mode this means the device is not held in the driver’s hand and is activated by voice or a single touch to the device; using an earphone — if it is used in a hands-free or voice-activated manner; drinking beverages, such as coﬀee, water or pop; eating a snack; smoking; talking with passengers; listening to a portable audio player — as long as it is set up before you begin driving; using the following; a GPS navigation system — as long as the system is aﬃxed to the

Distracted driving legislation passed earlier this year will become law on September 1, seeing a ban on cellphone and electronic devices use while driving if they aren’t hands free. The law will become one of Drumheller RCMP’s priorities when it comes into effect, and they plan on conducting an educational campaign. weekender photo by Kyle Smylie

vehicle and programmed before you begin driving or the system is voice activated. You cannot hold the unit or manually enter information while driving.; a collision avoidance system; a gauge, instrument, device or system that provides information about the vehicle’s systems or the vehicle’s location; a dispatch system for transporting passengers; a logistical transportation tracking sys-

tem that tracks vehicle location, driver status or the delivery of goods for commercial purposes; calling emergency services, such as 911 with a hand-held cellphone; using a hand-held citizen’s band (CB) or two-way radio when escorting oversized vehicles, to contact one’s employer, or when participating in search, rescue and emergency management situations.

A Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir by Elena Gorokhova

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Book Columnist

Once again, we were fortunate to experience another culture during another era in history, as we travelled to the Soviet Union back in the 60’s and 70’s. The author recounts her life growing up in the disillusion of Brezhnev – era Soviet Union. Elena Gorokhova ultimately marries an American and moves to the United States, where this memoir is written years later. This book has been referred to as the Russian equivalent of Angela’s Ashes. Elena uses one of her grandmother’s lessons for the book’s title. The Grandmother helps to give them hope and see beyond their circumstances. She finds optimism in their meagre helping of black bread and sugar. Crumbling it up, she forms a “mountain of crumbs” from a slice of bread. They eat the crumbs one at a time, having a feast that lasts longer than the single piece of bread would have. This concept becomes apparent as we learn of the political deception they live their daily lives by. There are many wise sayings and lessons passed down from the author’s elders which she shares throughout the book, despite rebelling in her own way as well. Having learned English, Elena looks for more than what her country can offer her. She, unknowingly defends communism simply because she knows nothing else and has been raised to believe in a sense of duty. At the same time she desires the life she learns of beyond the walls of her homeland. Growing up, we see parallels no matter what country or culture we are in. We share many of the same emotional struggles, curiosities, activites, concerns and questions wherever the childhood years transpire. This memoir should remind us of the basic harmony of the human experience regardless of moral and political differences. If you are looking for a good summer read, I would recommend “the Little Princes” or “the Last Child” - both of which I had a hard time putting down. Watch for reviews at a later date and see how your opinions compare to mine! 25m

RCMP highlights online safety to students Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Drumheller RCMP brought an important message to junior high students at DVSS last Tuesday, and that is to be aware of all the dangers that lurk online. Constable Tom Dobrich presented “Think Before You Send” to a packed Kaleidoscope Theatre. The message was of awareness and safety. While he pointed out the many beneﬁts of the wireless age, with instant information and communication, there are many pitfalls. “These have been the subject of many complaints,” he said. These are local complaints, as he says police have received a number of reports of online abuse, in particular cyber bullying. Some of the issues he touched on were privacy, and how easy it is for a person to reveal too much information, making them vulnerable to predators. “Don’t kid yourself, they are looking for you,” he said. Recent statistics he quoted on privacy show that 71 per cent of teens received a message from a person they did not know, 45 per cent say the stranger asked for personal information, 30 per cent of teens considered meeting someone they met online, and 14 per cent have met people face to face, they befriended online. He talked about the legal consequences of many of these activities. He made youth understand that everything online is fair game. Information posted on social networking sites can be read by law enforcement, used as evidence in court and published

in the media. A simple guide he told students was don’t say anything online you wouldn’t say in public. There could also be legal consequences for activities such as using threatening or defamatory language and harassment. The law could also get involved in the case of minors and “sexting,” and in fact, it is possible that child pornography charges could result from teens sending racy or nude photos of themselves or peers. Another major concern he said that is growing is dating abuse. This is the case where a couple could be in a relationship, and one party uses the technology to control or harass the subject. He said one in three teens have reported receiving text messages in excess of 30 times in an hour, and 17 per cent said they have been afraid of what their partner would do if they did not respond to a message. This was the first presentation by the Drumheller RCMP of “Think Before You Send.” It was developed by an attorney general in Massachusetts, and Constable Dobrich modified the program for a Canadian audience. He explains the local detachment was looking for a program because of its concern with local complaints, and has been working on finding and introducing a program since October. He said in September they are planning to bring the program to all area schools, and other groups that request it. For more information on the program, contact Constable Dobrich at 403-823-7590.
