inSide STREETERS Alberta Venture magazine has named Drumheller as one of Alberta’s Top 10 communities to do business. inSide asked residents, “What is your top reason why Drumheller is a great place to live?”

Kirstin Sutcliffe “The scenery! I like that it is so different from the prairies, like a different character in the prairies, with the river and the greenery along it and the hills.”

Christine Holden “The people and the sense of community. You can’t go anywhere without running into someone you know and having a chat.”

Drumheller gets long awaited boat launch Pascale Taylor| inSide Drumheller

Boating enthusiasts will rejoice to hear Drumheller now has a boat launch at the Newcastle Beach area. During the opening ceremony, which took place on Tuesday, June 1, Cindy Clark, Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce president, explained the need for a boat launch was brought to the Chamber’s attention last year by Councillor Terry Yemen. The Chamber felt it was necessary for the town, not only for the Fire Department to enable them to quickly deploy their rescue boat, but also for residents and visitors to fully enjoy one of Drumheller’s top assets, the Red Deer River. They partnered with the Town of Drumheller, Encana and the Fire Department to complete the project and the boat launch is now open for public use. Terry Yemen, a boating enthusiast himself, told inSide Drumheller he was aware there was a long standing issue for the Fire

Department to have a point for rapid deployment of the ﬁrst responders and that some boaters pass by the town of Drumheller due to the lack of a boat launch facility. “So I thought from a recreational and commercial tourism point of view, it would be an asset, too, to have a boat launch,” said Yemen, adding the river

was very underutilized, although it was a top tourist attraction and needed promotion to be used to its full potential. The boat launch is located west of Newcastle Beach, close to recreational parking. Yemen explained this section of the river is an area where there is constantly three feet of water, making it a good place for

Luminaries available for Relay For Life Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The fourth Relay For Life in Drumheller is coming up on Friday, June 11, and the event sparks a ﬁre with all who participate. One of the most moving parts of each year’s event is the Luminary Ceremony. This is a chance for everyone in the community to take a moment and reﬂect

on those who have won their battle with cancer, those who have lost, and those who are still ﬁghting. “It is very personal, and everybody has somebody (they know with cancer),” said Teri Sparkes, luminary chair. “It is a part of the night where people can all remember and honour people who have been aﬀected.” Luminaries are simple.

They are paper bags that are available online or from the Scotiabank in Drumheller. Those who purchase a luminary can write their wish, the name of the person to who they are dedicating the luminary, and decorate it how they choose. When the ceremony begins, a candle is placed in each bag that lines the Relay For Life track as a vigil and lights up

the walkers’ route on their way to remembering, celebrating and ﬁghting back. “I’ve had people purchase them for loved ones they have lost, or people who are currently battling, or people that have beaten cancer, so literally it can be anything,” said Sparkes. “The main focus of the entire event is celebrating and remembering.”

While luminaries are available onsite during the event, she is hoping those who want to purchase them beforehand will go to Scotiabank or simply log onto www.cancer.ca and follow the links to the Drumheller event. For more information, or to purchase a luminary, contact Sparkes at 403-8206718.

As many of you are probably aware, Pop attends Mass or prayers or communion service almost every day, sometimes twice a day. On Thursday, afternoons there is a Mass service at Sunshine Lodge. Pop usually gets a ride with one of the women, but last week I drove him to the Lodge. I didn’t stick around, as I had other business to tend to, but I did have time to sit in the reception area for a little while, waiting for Pop. The reception area at the Lodge is quite large and well lit. It has four or five wing-back chairs, some too soft, some too hard, but the one I chose to sit in was just right. Sitting at the desk was a nice young woman named Melanie. She was polite, friendly and helpful, providing a name for the bespectacled granny sitting in the rocking chair to the right of the fireplace, knitting. Did I mention the fireplace? Well, it’s integral to the story. When I first noticed the knitting granny, I did a double take, she looked almost lifelike, as though someone had bronzed their granny instead of cremating or burial. Her hair is pulled back in a bun, and she is wearing large wire-rim glasses. I kid you not, had that chair started rocking, and her hands started those needles knitting, I would not have been surprised. However, she looked lonely, as though there should have been a cat at her feet, and then it struck me. The fireplace needed somebody on the other side of it, preferably an old man reading a newspaper. I know what you’re thinking, and you obviously know what I’m thinking, but put it out of your mind, Pop doesn’t like rocking chairs. Although, if I did have him bronzed, I could visit him every night and have the same conversations with him that I do now when he’s reading the newspaper. (The man’s focus is singular.) Just a thought.

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Food Columnist I recently made this delicious bread pudding for brunch and served it with omelets. One of the guests was a little queasy about the words “bread pudding” so I simply baked it in muffin tins and called it “blueberry muffins.” Just as a rose by any other name smells as sweet, this bread pudding by any other name tastes as good.

Tuesday of this week I got up early so I could have the grass cut before noon and take Pop out for a late breakfast. After breakfast we had to get home and fill in some legal documents that needed to be mailed ASAP. Having no return envelope and no cash with which to purchase one, I went to the bank to make a withdrawal. I don’t own a debit card (Man, does this guy live in a cave) and so I do it the old-fashioned way, by asking one of the nice young ladies to help me. They always do, and always with a smile. (Try to get that from an ATM.) The girls always ask for my customer card and I usually produce it. I keep it and my credit card in my glasses case. Heather got me the cash I needed, wished me a good day and I was on my way. I got in the car, placed the glasses case in the cup holder, and drove to the post office. I went in, bought the envelope I needed, addressed it, and handed it over to Mike to ring in the sale and postage. That done, Mike handed me my change and said, “Have a good day, see you later,” and off I went. Later that evening I ran Pop over to church and was going to pick something up for supper, but when I reached for my glasses case the cup-holder was empty. Hmm... I hope I left it at home. I searched the house and the car about half a dozen times, but nothing. I was worried, but like my mother used to say, “Don’t worry, it will turn up.” Before I went to bed, I prayed that it would. Wednesday morning at about 9:30, the phone rings. “Hi, Chip, it’s Mike at the post office. “You left your glasses case here yesterday.” That ranks as possibly the best phone call I have ever received. My mother was right, God does hear our prayers, and Mike at the post office (some people don’t like it when I use their last names, but I think everyone knows Mike) is the same guy I went to high school with. Thanks Mike, you saved me a lot of hassle. 22L

Memories Recovered Project to preserve veteran’s experiences Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

A documentary ﬁlmmaker is wanting to tell the story of veterans across Canada, and will be interviewing Drumheller service men and women this summer. Allan Cameron has been working on the Memories Recovered Project for the past few years and has interviewed on camera and documented the stories of more than 200 veterans. The videos are then provided to schools, museums, legions and families of the veterans to preserve the living history of veterans of World War II and the Korean War. The Memories Recovered Project Association is registered as a non-proﬁt organization. “It has been really busy and we are trying to document as many as we can,” said Cameron. He has been in contact with Bill Eremko of the Drumheller Legion. “It is for all veterans.”

Currently they are looking for a site to conduct interviews and are hoping to get underway in the next few months. The project is the brainchild of Cameron. He has an extensive broadcast background and has always has a keen interest in history. The immediacy of the project was brought to the forefront by his own experience. “My uncle was with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders and was a carrier driver on D-Day. He went in the second wave, and went from the beaches to Germany. He is mentioned in the North Novies war diary,” said Cameron. “We were going to get together to have an interview with him back in 2001 and he was pretty busy at the time, and I moved out west. He said, ‘When you come back for a visit we’ll sit down and have a chat.’ I had this funny feeling in my gut it wasn’t going to happen and several months later I received the phone call that he passed away. He was trying to impress upon me how important this

is to be done, and that was why he was stepping forward to talk. That was a catalyst to make it all happen.” They did their ﬁrst interview in 2006 in Calmar. “The ﬁrst few years were just gaining credibility for the project and letting people know I was out there. Once they started seeing what I was doing, that I was serious about it and actually cared, I think it brought a lot of people closer to the project,” said Cameron. Since then, he has interviewed veterans from all points in Canada, although right now he is concentrating on Alberta for logistics. His original intention was to get the documentaries into schools, museums and libraries. He has also learned the importance of getting the project to the families, and donates a copy of his work to each veteran’s family. He also makes sure a sponsoring Legion gets a copy of the work.

Drumheller Health Centre Recreation Therapy Garden The Encana Badlands Science Camp, one of the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s programs, gives kids a great opportunity to spend time with like-minded kids passionate about dinosaurs and to learn all there Pascale Taylor | inSide Drumheller

Awaken a passion at the Encana Badlands Science Camp, one of the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s programs. Every summer, the museum runs these camps for youth ages 9-11 and 12-15, as well as families. “The family camp is quite unique,” explained Leanna Mohan, marketing coordinator at the museum. “It’s only four days, so three nights and you can camp with your kids so moms don’t have to cook or come with groceries. You get to sleep in a teepee as a family, and learn how to find fossils.” During the camps, kids get to sleep in teepees or in the museum, and learn how to prospect for fossils, and about the rules of fossil collecting. Meals are provided by the cafeteria, or cooked outdoors, and picnics are set up in the Badlands as well. Most importantly, participants get to work with the museum staff who know everything there is to know, and who answer all questions from their inquisitive minds. As well as access to the Tyrrell Museum, they are treated to a ‘behind-thescenes’ tour, where they will get to see first-hand how it all happens, with a special project for older campers who get to reconstruct an actual dinosaur!

What campers seem to enjoy the most is being able to share their passion about dinosaurs with other kids, and to be out working with the museum staﬀ in the Badlands. “It is really memorable for them,” said Mohan. They get to visit other local museums too, and use local amenities such as the Aquaplex pool. These camps are so successful that many return, some developing a life-long passion. “Most of the kids end up

coming year after year, lots of them end up being camp counsellors, and a few have ended up working here. Once you ﬁnd your passion as a kid and you get to keep following that up, it’s a great thing!” Due to their popularity, most camps are sold out. However, there are still girl’s spots available in some of the camps. Contact the Royal Tyrrell Museum at 403-8237707 to check the latest availability.

Proceeds will go toward the purchase of Laparoscopic equipment for the Operating Room.

Exhibit features another side of Tyrrell Patrick Kolafa Weekender

While the Royal Tyrrell Museum is celebrating its ﬁrst 25 years featuring its 25 most exciting discoveries, Fred Oro-

sz has created a display featuring some of the human history of the museum. Orosz began at the museum in 1983, before it opened its doors. He was contracted for six months, and remained at the museum until he retired in 2006.

Fred Orosz has put together a display featuring some of the history of the Royal Tyrrell Museum over the last 25 years, from educational exhibits to newspaper clippings and artifacts. They are currently on display at the Drumheller Public Library. weekender photo by Patrick kolafa

Along the way he has amassed a collection of hundreds of artifacts and keepsakes from the museum, from its opening day to the modern years. He has assembled them into a collection he calls 25 years of the Tyrrell Museum Education and Fun. “I wanted to show another part of the museum,” said Orosz, with his collection that reflects more of the human history of the museum. Orosz’s first contract with the museum was the creation of the exhibits in the Science Hall. These were hands-on exhibits that demonstrated scientific principles. He and others toiled away at the former Co-op building (now Reptile World in downtown Drumheller)building the exhibits in anticipation of the opening of the museum. These stayed in the museum for years and thousands of youngsters have pulled, pushed and squeezed the exhibits and more importantly, learned. “The kids enjoyed these. They were demonstrations of science, rather than just looking and reading,” said Orosz. These former exhibits are featured prominently in Orosz’s display. They in-

clude the famous swimming squid, the falling bell demonstrating buoyancy, a sorting and settling demonstration and an exhibit demonstrating light refraction. There is also an extensive collection of newspaper clippings, everything from opening day to The Great Dinosaur Adventure Expo in 1990 in Japan, in which a number of Tyrrell Museum personnel took part. All of these feature faces from the community past and present who were involved in the museum. There is also a collection of promotional items, historic T-shirts, uniforms and even a Tyrrell Terrasaurs slo-pitch team uniform. Other items may look familiar including one of the original benches from the gallery. Even the display case that Orosz built for his display was constructed from some of the original ash handrails. Orosz’s display will be at the Drumheller Public Library until the end of June. He hopes it will be displayed at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in September.

Explore, create, & discover with a variety of educational programs available this summer at the ava Royal Tyrrell Museum. (They’re a scream!)

Hand Hills Lake Stampede marks 94 years Patrick Kolafa Weekender

Alberta's oldest consecutive Rodeo is set to go this weekend, June 4-6, and now in its 94th year, it continues to be one of the premier events of the season. The Hand Hills Lake Stampede is a full slate rodeo, with all the traditional events, sanctioned by the CPRA (Canadian Pro Rodeo Association) and PRCA (Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association). The event features stock from the Calgary Stampede Ranch. Slack begins Friday at noon and the rodeo kicks oﬀ on Saturday and Sunday at noon.

The stampede could stand on its own as just a rodeo, but add chucks, chariots and premium entertainment and it is one of the biggest shows of the season. This year there is also a trade show at the community hall on Friday from noon to 8 p.m. Each night from Friday to Sunday, the All Pro Canadian Chuckwagon and Chariot Association will be on the track. There is also lots of entertainment on the stage. Friday night after the chuckwagons are done blazing the track, the kick-oﬀ party begins. On Saturday night there is also the

traditional Cowboy Cabaret. Each morning rodeo goers can refuel with a western breakfast. After breakfast on Sunday morning there is a Christan Cowboy Church service before the excitement of the rodeo begins again. For more information on the up close and personal rodeo, see www.handhills.ab.ca.

Valley reports promising tourism numbers during long weekend Pascale Taylor Weekender

However, the museum experienced a power outage on Monday afternoon, forcing them to close their doors earlier than usual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things are looking great for the summer. The new exhibit was very successful, all we are getting is positive feedback,â&#x20AC;? said Leanna Mohan, museum marketing coordinator. The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Largest Dinosaurâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visitor ďŹ gures for that weekend were comparable to last year, too.

Complete the Drumheller Experience!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were down 11 people,â&#x20AC;? said Heather Bitz, manager at the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, explaining the weather may have contributed to the slight dip in numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year was a good year for us, so if we can match our numbers from last year then we will be doing well,â&#x20AC;? she added. The Atlas Coal Mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ gures were up by ďŹ ve per cent from last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saturday was lower probably due to cold weather, Sunday was similar but Monday was higher,â&#x20AC;? explained Linda Digby, executive director of the Atlas Coal Mine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pattern was diďŹ&#x20AC;erent due to the weather, people came later during the weekend.â&#x20AC;? The Homestead Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers were up ten per cent from last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Saturday was the day the campers were going to camp no matter what and so they stayed in the campground and we only got about 15 visitors. But on the Sunday, it got too cold so they decided to come in and so we had over 50 people!â&#x20AC;? reported Gilles Danis at the Homestead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since our opening at the beginning of May, we have had people coming from day one, it is pretty encouraging.â&#x20AC;? Danis has a tradition of giving out cookies during the long weekend, and made one visitor very happy. "This fellow came in with four little ones, each below six years old, and I handed them cookies and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is the most peaceful time I've had the entire weekend!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;."

Can you help??

Can anyone help identify this item? The Homestead Museum received this item, called Crone by the manufacturer, and they need help finding out what it was used for. The small tabs (red and blue), on each side, cause coloured gels to come before the light bulb. Is it a signal lamp for a train conductor? photo submitted
