about the most. “Every time she has a regular ache or pain like any regular kid, I wonder if it’s normal or a disease or something. We try not to panic.” When asked why the Nielsen family allows their daughter to share her story, Sherri says she wants Leeza to remember all the people who supported her and give back. “She’s kind of like a hero for me, to have gone through so much and survived – I think it’s a way to give back. People were so supportive of us and her. “When she was 5, she didn’t understand the scope of people who donate money and time, and as she gets older I want her to remember to give back and be an inspiration to help other kids." Cancer doesn’t just strike adults, it can strike anyone and having someone like Leeza carry a flag in the Survivor’s Victory Lap is a reminder that there is hope, says lap organizer Vi Adie, who asked Leeza to carry the flag. “A little kid like that can be inspiring to people who are fighting it. The Survivor Lap is there to support people who are fighting right now and honour those who did not win the fight,” says Adie,

who’s organizing the event for her ﬁfth year in honour of friend Adeline McKay who passed in October from cancer. “There isn’t a family out there who doesn’t have a connection with the bloody thing called cancer,” Adie continues. “We need to pay it forward,” added Sherri, explaining the tremendous support the family received from Ronald McDonald House and the people who walked for Leeza in the 2010 Strathmore Relay for Life. “Hopefully she’ll be an inspiration for someone.” Leeza, a shy girl, said she was excited for the event because “it’s fun to be in the newspaper, and to hold the ﬂag and walk around.” She adds that Ronald McDonald House made her feel at home, and hopefully by leading the lap she can “make other people feel at home too.” Drumheller’s 2011 Relay for Life is happening at the Stampede Grounds on Friday, June 10 starting at 7:00 p.m. Anyone who is a cancer survivor is welcome to attend the event, and can either pre-register by calling Vi Adie at 403-8236760, Barb Neigum at 403-8237470, or Cheryl Barnes at 403572-3601.

Concerns about the welfare of the animals were brought to light through an online campaign that caught like wildfire. An inspection by the Canadian Association of Zoos and Aquariums (CAZA) was completed. It looked at 108 elements from the Alberta Zoo Standards. Deficiencies were identified in all categories of zoo operation. Almost immediately, Alberta Liberal Sustainable Resource Development Critic Laurie Blakeman lauded the development,

Shape the dough into a ball and let rest 30 mins. Shred the zucchini with a coarse grater and toss with the salt. Let stand 20 minutes in a colander. This will remove excess liquid.

When I made this, I used a readymade frozen pizza crust. It would also be good with different cheese types, such as the Italian blend. Since zucchinis come in various sizes, go by weight rather than amounts. I used one large zucchini.

East Coulee, a town rich in memory submitted The Weekender

The Atlas Coal Mine in East Coulee is the biggest stop in the quaint hamlet, a once thriving coal town with over 3,000 residents. The East Coulee School Museum is a great stop for tourists looking for a break from the dinosaurs. inSide file photo

No trip to the Drumheller Valley is complete without a visit to the town that almost disappeared: East Coulee. Once a thriving coal town with over 3000 residents, the memory of the former mining boomtown is still well preserved within the Valley walls. East Coulee now has a population of 200, many of whom are dedicated to the town’s rich history. The road to East Coulee is a trip back in time, down the valley of the dinosaurs, where petrified forests once stood, and miners toiled for coal in the many mines tunnelled into the river valley walls. Highway 10 is dotted with a number of small communities such as Rosedale, Lehigh, Cambria, Wayne and

East Coulee that were once populated with the families of thousands of coal miners who worked in the Valley’s 140 mines. The ‘golden era’ from 1911 to 1947 drew thousands of men seeking work, some as young as 14, and the population in towns like East Coulee, Wayne, Nacmine and Drumheller soared. One of the Valley’s most prominent mines, the Atlas Coal Mine, remained open until 1979 and with its closing the last echoes of an era fell into silence. Now the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site has become one of the Valley’s most treasured tourist attractions and a quick visit can take you through the everyday life of a coal miner. Ride the actual electric train that the coal miners

rode each and every day in and out of the underground tunnels. Follow in the footsteps of thousands of men up to the top of the Atlas Coal Mine tipple, the last wooden tipple in Canada. At eight stories high the tipple is a truly exhilarating structure and portrays an honest depiction of the duties and working conditions of a coal miner’s life. The Atlas Coal Mine has also been named a Provincial Historic Resource and has been designated a Canadian Historical Site. Described as the most complete mining museum in Canada, the Atlas Coal Mine still has everything but the hole in the ground. To get there, simply travel 15 minutes east of Drumheller on Highway 10, across the river from the (Continued on opposite page)

community of East Coulee. Another spectacular attraction in East Coulee is the “big” School Museum. The experience of walking down the hallway of the large 12 room school built in 1930 with its creaky floors will remind you of the thousands of children who lived and received their education in this coal mining town. The museum has immaculate displays featuring a restored classroom with original desks, blackboards, schoolbooks, photos, etc. Other highlights include an old miner’s house completely restored with period furniture and artifacts. They have also turned one of the classrooms into the Willow Tea Room & Cafe, which serves wonderful lunches and desserts. Perhaps the most amazing part of the museum is the restored 1932 coal-fired steam boiler. This steam boiler is still used today to heat the museum in the winter - in fact, it consumes more than 60 tons of coal every winter. The history of the com-

munity is evident in the streetscapes of the town site. Former miner shacks still dot the streets as well as more modern dwellings. There are artisan shops and studios that celebrate the past as well as the present, such as Caracol Clay Studio where local artist Janet Grabner creates and sells fine pottery wares. On the way to East Coulee on Highway 10 be sure to stop and visit the acclaimed Hoodoos site. Hoodoos are sandstone formations that have been eroded by the elements over millions of years and the end result is a unique mushroom-like shape carved out of stone. The hoodoos are a perfect stop to completely absorb the natural, distinctive landscape of the Drumheller Valley. Like looking at an old photograph, a visit to East Coulee is a unique experience that will take you back to a time where dinosaurs roamed and miners delved. For a town that almost disappeared, it is now a town truly dedicated to its rich history.

Highway 9 paving begins Resurfacing of Highway 9 from the intersection of Highway 10, south to approximately Extra Foods began on Thursday. Originally the “mill and fill” was scheduled to begin on June 5, but the schedule was

moved up. Soon residents and visitors will be able to enjoy smooth driving on one of the busiest stretches of highway in Drumheller. The work is expected to take about a week. 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.

In 2005, Rosebud Theatre presented Mitchell’s The Kite that played to soldout houses and almost 12,000 patrons. Audiences were enthralled by the connection of W.O. Mitchell’s characters to their own communities. Of particular note in that production was the character Daddy Sherry. “Nathan Schmidt pulled off a performance as Daddy Sherry that is still talked about as one of Rosebud’s funniest accomplishments,” says Ertman. “For this production he’s changing clothes to play the title role of Jake and will tickle audience funny bones with the same wit, humour and prairie town ‘cantankerousness’ that only W.O. Mitchell can create.” When visiting Rosebud, plan to make a stop at the new Wild Horse Jack’s Bistro & Grill. Ertman encourages people to check it out: “I am certain that if W.O.

Kids care for Slave Lake Monica Samuel’s Grade 1 class at Greentree parted ways with their toys in hopes of making the lives of children evacuated from the Slave Lake fires a little easier. They collected dozens of toys on Thursday and planned to ship them off to the fire stricken area this week. “They liked to help, although

it was a little hard for them to part with the toys,” said Samuel. Student Lakelan Lavie suggested the idea to his classmates. Why? “Because I thought it would be nice for people there to have a couple of toys and some clothes,” he said. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie

What is your tobacco memory? Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Last Tuesday was world No Tobacco Day, a day set aside to encourage a 24-hour abstinence from tobacco around the world. This year’s theme is the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. This framework was developed in response to the tobacco epidemic throughout the world and has been signed by 173 parties. The core of the convention is to reduce the demand for tobacco through a number of measures including price and tax, as well as regulations from exposure to smoke, regulation of the contents of tobacco products, product disclosure, packaging and labelling, advertising awareness and dependence and cessation programs. The convention also looks at supply issues including the sale of tobacco to minors, the illicit trade in tobacco products and looking for economically viable alternatives. While it is not easy to correlate the convention into changing habits, in Alberta, a culture of tobacco use has seen a shift. “In the last decade there have been a few changes. The reality right now is most people don’t smoke, more than 80 per cent, and 90 per cent don’t chew,” said Martin McSween, tobacco reduction/addictions counsellor for Alberta Health Services. “Of those, over half are thinking of quitting. Most of us have

grown up in a culture of tobacco use, and now that we are more aware of the addictive nature of the drug it is unacceptable to use.” Since 2003, it has become illegal for anyone under 18 to use, possess or consume tobacco. Legislation has banned smoking in public spaces, businesses, restaurants as well as penitentiaries. There have also been changes to labelling, advertising and marketing of tobacco products, most recently restrictions on ﬂavoured tobacco sales. McSween said to show this cul-

ture shift he has been collecting “tobacco memories,” how people have seen a change in society. Some of the feedback has ranged from the change in price to the availability of candy cigarettes. “One person said in her high school, there was a 'smoking door,' and smoking was permitted on airplanes,” said McSween. Another change a person notices is awareness to smoking is aimed at a younger audience, and more access to cessation programs.

Through grant funding provided by Alberta Works Business and Industry Department, MH Enterprises has taken the lead on this exciting opportunity for our community’s leaders, businesses and community members to come together in an open forum to network and to foster business development in our region. The EARN Partnership breakfast will include a presentation by renowned speaker Roy Saunderson, a leading North American expert on employee recognition. Multiple communities throughout Alberta have experienced the benefits of the EARN Partnership. “For many of the attendees, they are unable to get the opportunity to travel to see these quality speakers and as a result, the business community is strengthened with the exposure to ideas and concepts from these industry visionaries,” said Jeff Mulligan, Mayor of Lloydminster. The committee is excited to be able to offer our business community leading edge tools to increase their economic capacity while at the same time bringing together a neutral networking opportunity for all attendees. The EARN Partnership breakfast will also provide opportunities for groups and organizations to highlight upcoming events or accomplishments within their organizations!

Keeping your child’s gender a secret. Another great idea brought to you by a couple of whacked out parents in Toronto. I wonder just how long they can keep such a blatantly natural thing hidden. Sooner of later somebody is going to notice: “Hey buddy, you need a shave” or “Wow, nice rack.” Maybe before it reaches that stage, it will be: “Mommy, which bathroom do I use?” Really, how do you, why would you, keep such an important thing hidden? It’s cruel to experiment on your children, especially when it affects their psyche. Keeping a kid’s gender a secret is taking things a little too far. Kids have a hard enough time trying to fit in, not knowing your gender, or being unsure if you should be playing with dolls or toy soldiers, can make for a very unhealthy, unhappy kid. When that kid finds out who is responsible for his/her unhappy situation, it would not surprise me if the guilty party had a little violence visited upon them. It would only be fair if they themselves were rendered genderless. A little late in the game maybe, but fair is fair.

$1,000,000? Travel around the world. What would be your dream job? To not work, but if I had to choose: a doctor. Who’s your hero? Don’t really have one. Words to live by? Keep on keepin’ on. What superpower would you want? Invisibility. If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? Tupac, because he’s fricken’ awesome! I’d serve him lobster. Coke or Pepsi? Pepsi. What three things would you bring to a deserted island? A boat, a friend, and food. Favourite sports team? Toronto Raptors. Where would you go with a time machine? I’d go to the 80’s, somewhere fun.

I noticed in Tuesday’s Calgary Herald, front page in fact, that the Alberta Association of Police Chiefs want the government to require mandatory pay-first fuel pumps. They say that it would cut out their having to investigate gas and dash thefts, which eat up time and resources better spent chasing seat belt offenders. They say, in the interest of selling the idea, that it’s not just the theft, that it’s also a public safety issue. They want to see if there is a “political appetite to move on this,” hence the reason for calling it a “public” safety issue. Much more palatable. Personally, I don’t like the idea. I had experience with it while in B.C. and got so peeved the first time I needed gas, and had to pay first, that I threw a 20 dollar bill at the attendant. Most unlike me, but it gives you an idea the kind of rage something like this can instill. If I have to fill up my tank, or just top it off, how do I know how much it’s going to cost?
