OPINION
Seniors Critic hears Drum senior’s issues Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Residents and stakeholders in seniors care packed one of the meeting rooms at the Badlands Community Facility to have their opinions be heard on Tuesday evening. Wildrose Seniors Critic Kerry Towle, as part of an Albeta-wide tour, stopped in Drumheller to learn what issues Albertans feel are the highest priorities in seniors care. The intention is to take the feedback back to government and push for change. “After the two week
tour, my team and I will put together a report to make sure caucus is aware of what we have learned,” said Towle. “You have to write letters to your MLA... more importantly, get loud. Write letters to the editor. If you have the opportunity, go to Edmonton. You have an MLA who will put you on the legislature steps.”

“Then, we’re going to address, or attempt to address, this issue with Minister (Fred) Horne and the Associate Min-
ister of Seniors. I’m not terribly optimistic about that process, but I still think it has to be done. From there, we will take a look what policy the Wildrose can build for seniors they can trust as we go forward.” At the meeting, Towle related her own experiences, which included a brother diagnosed and placed in long-term care with Huntingon’s Disease in 2008 and a father who was hospitalized following a stroke. She also spent 10 years working for David Thompson Health Region. Residents brought up many issues; low staff-

I’m worried cuts to seniors will impact negatively on health,” said Towle. She had some advice for Albertans wanting change. “You have to write letters to your MLA, whoever that is.

Student employment program used by local groups in limbo Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A provincial program that helps organizations hire students for summer work could be in jeopardy, potentially having an eect during the busy summer months in Drumheller. The Summer Temporary Employment Program (STEP) is designed to create student jobs during the spring and summer. Eligible employers include nonproďŹ ts, public sector employers, government departments and Alberta Future Leader programs in First Nation and Metis communities. STEP participants must, among other qualiďŹ cations, have been in school full-time leading up to their employment. According to the Alberta Human Services website there has not been a decision made to fund the program, and “We will have more in-
formation once budget decisions are ďŹ nalized after Budget 2013 is tabled on March 7th.â€? Some of the valley’s tourism institutions take advantage of the program and are worried they may end up a little short staed. Kelly Eddy, of the Atlas Coal Mine, is in the midst of arranging for summer employees. She says the museum typically applies for funding and has had one position funded by the program in each of the last three years. “It is a huge help to us and really a huge help to all the students out there that are looking for jobs in their ďŹ eld,â€? said Eddy. One of the designed outcomes of the program is to allow students who study away from home, to return to their community during the summer and have employment. Eddy says this is often the case and they often hire local youth.
“We have a returning student who is from Drumheller and she is in engineering. She has a passion for talking about Drumheller and the place she grew up,â€? said Eddy. The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce often uses the STEP program, along with a federal employment program to help sta its tourism services. Manager of the Chamber Heather Bitz says they typically have conďŹ rmation of funding for the position by now. “I’m sure we’re not the only ones that apply for the funding,â€? said Bitz. “It could drastically impact seasonal operations that rely on this funding. We still have the same people coming and we still need the sta to accommodate them.â€? The Chamber is also contracted to hire admission, gallery sta, educators and technicians at the Royal Tyrrell

granted in Canada is censored. For example, Dr. Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham is banned in China because of its depiction of early Marxism. The Tale of Peter Rabbit was banned in the 1980’s in London, because it only depicted “middle-class rabbits.” Closer to home, other works are subject to scrutiny. Libraries across Canada are subjected to complaints and requests to have books or movies removed from their shelves. For example, in 2011 the entire His Dark Materials series, which contains The Golden Compass, was challenged by a patron who suggested the book “...be burned,” or moved to the adult section at a public library in Alberta. Canadians are being encouraged to think about and reaffirm their commitment to intellectual freedom In another example, a parent formally complained about the use of Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale in a Grade 12 English class. The parent complained that the novel’s coarse language, antiChristian overtones, violence, and sexual degradation probably violated the district policies. In many cases sexuality, violence, and language are the primary causes of patrons seeking to have material removed. The Drumheller Public Library is encouraging residents to exercise their freedom and free a challenged book by giving it a read.

The Drumheller and District Music Festival will be using the Badlands Community Facility for this year’s event. Doug Wade of the Music Festival organizing committee told The Mail they have secured the Badlands Community Facility for the final concert as well as for the piano events. Earlier this year, the festival approached the Town of Drumheller to ask that it donate space for the festival. Council declined, however the festival has been able to negotiate for an acceptable arrangement. “The neat thing is, it’s going to be in the BCF,” said Wade. The Drumheller and District Music Festival begins on March 11, with the final concert on March 22. Wade says the venues and adjudicators are all in place, and there is healthy registration for the annual event, with some categories seeing less, while others had stronger numbers. The Drumheller and District Music Festival is likely the longest running Drumheller event and has seen incredibly talented performers get their start. Every year there are recommendations for students to go on to provincial competition. Wade says the planning has been going well, and this year a few new volunteers have joined the organizing committee, which has been a great help. There are still more opportunities for those wishing to volunteer on performance days. For more information, contact Music Festival president Lynn Edwards at 403-823-7483. The Drumheller and District Music Festival is set to begin on March 11 and the final concert will be held on on March 22 at the Badlands Community Facility.

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A man arrested in a drug raid last fall pleaded guilty to possession charges. Christopher Shapka appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, February 15. He pleaded guilty to simple possession of marijuana and simple possession of psilocybin mushrooms. Following a drug investigation, on October 12 of last year, Drumheller RCMP and members of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team (ALERT) executed search warrants on two Drumheller residences. Shapka was arrested and found to be in possession of 47 grams of cannabis, and 16 grams of psilocybin mushrooms as well as $2,695 in cash. He pleaded guilty to two possession charges and the third charge of possession of the proceeds of crime was withdrawn. Shapka, who was 35 at the time of the arrest, has an extensive related record. He was fined $1,500 for each of the possession charges plus a victim fine surcharge, for a total of $3,450. Judge Creighton ordered the seized $2,695 be applied to the fines, and gave him three months to pay the remainder.
Driver fined after hit and run on parked vehicle Michael James | inSide Drumheller
A local truck driver was in the hot seat at the Drumheller Provincial Court on Friday, February 22, after pleading guilty to a hit and run. Crown prosecutor Ron Pedersen read from an agreed statement of facts. On the night of January 12, 2013, at roughly 2 a.m., Geoffrey Parsons was driving and struck a parked car. He then left the scene, but did inform the Drumheller RCMP of what occurred the following day. Parsons then spoke and added he waited at the scene for 30 to 40 minutes. He explained he thought the sound of the crash would have woken someone up. When it didn’t, he decided to go home and inform the RCMP during the day. Judge Grieve, who was presiding, explained the repercussions of a hit and run, especially for the victim and that even leaving a note with contact and insurance information would have been sufficient to avoid being charged. In the end, Parson was given a $300 fine.

A Calgary man learned just how costly skipping out on a bar tab can be. At Drumheller provincial court on Friday, February 22, David Beaulieu pleaded guilty to and was fined $1,150 after striking a Drumheller waitress and RCMP officer on February 8. On that night Beaulieu, who is currently residing in Drumheller and working on a new construction project, had won a large jackpot at a video lottery terminal. To celebrate, he and his friend began drinking. When it came time to pay the tab, Beaulieu felt the bill was too high and left the premises. The waitress followed him out and confronted him. At this point Beaulieu paid his tab, but became increasingly agitated afterwards. He began to flail wildly and in doing so, struck the waitress twice on the face. Drumheller RCMP were called to the scene and attempted to subdue Beaulieu. In the ensuing struggle, Beaulieu began kicking and struck the arm of one of the officers. Beaulieu spoke to the court and expressed his regret at his actions. He explained he rarely drinks alcohol and had no recollection of the events, save for some fleeting images. Judge Grieve, who was presiding, explained to Beaulieu the gravity of the charges, which could have included jail time, and that Beaulieu was lucky to only be receiving a fine. Grieve suggested Beaulieu write a letter to the RCMP officer he struck and apologize for his actions.

Dynos ready for regionals Michael James | inSide Drumheller
It was a nail-biter of a game for the Drumheller Valley Secondary School senior girls Dynos on Monday when they took on the Three Hills Royals at home. The game was tight, but the Dynos couldn’t keep up and were defeated 37-28. The game began with the Dynos in the driver’s seat. They were able get a few key turnovers in their end and build momentum. By the half, they had a comfortable 19-11 lead. However, the Dynos suered a blow when their point guard, Cienna Sands, was knocked down and injured her knee. Sands would remain on the bench for the rest of the game. “I think had Cienna not been injured we would have won... She is one of
my captains and the girls look to her for leadership. I think it’s hard when that person is hurting on the bench, to then go out and feel conďŹ dent, not only in each other but in that you won’t get hurt as well. We all rely on each other so much that when one of us is out, it really is a shot to the guts,â€? said head coach Jennifer Raugust. The Royals came out a brand new team after the half and the Dynos were soon playing defensively. After ďŹ ve minutes of play, the Royals had tied the game up at 19 apiece. The Dynos regained their composure towards the end of the third quarter and were able to build a 25-22 lead. The fourth quarter belonged to the Royals. The Dynos were tired after being down a player and only having one sub for most of the game. They gave away a few turn-

overs in the oensive end and had trouble ďŹ nding the net. “I guess the fourth quarter got away from us a bit but you know it wasn’t a bad loss. We definitely did run out of gas, and when you get tired you tend to make bad decisions,â€? said Raugust. By the end of the game, the Royals had taken a 37-28 lead. The game was the last
of the regular season for the Dynos. However, their season is not yet over. The team had their ďŹ rst game of regionals last night against Siksika, but the results were not known as of press time. “I’m hopeful the girls will bounce back from this,â€? said Raugust. “If we win, we are headed to zones and I am very conďŹ dent in my team that we will get there.â€?
If the Dynos aren’t careful, they might be stampeded. The DVSS senior boys and girls are in for a battle as they have invited the Calgary Stampeders for an exhibition game on March 5. Kidding aside, the game is for fun and will help the team raise funds for the DVSS athletics program for travel, tournaments and other expenses. To say the Stampeders are competitive is an understatement. While the 2012 Grey Cup ďŹ nalists are experts on the gridiron, they also can’t be taken lightly on the court. The football players are able to hold their own with their size and athleticism. The senior boys and the senior girls teams will combine their forces to take on this formidable opponent and play eight-minute quarters. Following the game, the Calgary Stampeders will remain for an autograph session with players and fans. The game is on Tuesday, March 5 at 6 p.m. at DVSS. Tickets are available at the door.
