inSide Badlands Community Facility invites residents to come on in STREETERS | Michael James

It’s time once again to spring forward. Daylight savings time begins on Sunday. inSide Drumheller asks: “What is the best/worst part about daylight savings time?”

Barry Pozzo “I like the extra light at night. I wish it would stay the same all year.”

Amanda Gordon “The worst thing is getting up earlier, especially getting kids up for school. It’s nice to have an extra hour of daylight at night.”

For those who have been waiting for what seems an eternity go get into the Badlands Community Facility the opening is nigh. However, residents can get a peek in the new building this weekend. Today, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the Facility will be opening its doors to allow residents who have prepurchased memberships the chance to come in, get their ID made, and be taken on a tour. Saturday and Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, the building will be open to all residents who wish to purchase a membership and get a tour of Facility. “We’re very excited about the weekend coming up. We have the open house, have a lot of people see the building, and go operational on Monday,” said Guy Latour, business manager of the Facility. The big day, the day when members can walk in freely and use their favourite ﬁtness or sports equipment is this upcoming Monday. On Wednesday, March 7, quite a few residents got a chance to check out some of the building during the Sports, Recreation, and Arts Expo. The expo was held in the banquet hall and was packed with people checking out what’s available in town, signing up for clubs, and getting a look at the new facility. Over 40 diﬀerent groups set up booths at the expo and a few did live presentations.

Guy Latour (left), business manager of the Badlands Community Facility, and Mayor Terry Yemen hold open the doors to the new Facility. Residents will have an opportunity to see what lies beyond the front doors during the Facility’s open house.

“It went great, it’s exciting to see so many people in the building,” said Latour. A few attendees took the opportunity to purchase their memberships for the Facility a little early. Attendees may have noticed there are a few patches that have yet to be completed in the Facility. The building has received the green light from the architect to let the public inside. “We have the occupation for the building. It’s safe for the public. There are a few small

RCMP investigate double homicide in Hanna submitted | inSide Drumheller Bonnie Walbourne “I think it’s fabulous. It gets everyone motivated for spring, which is around the corner, just not sure which one.”

Patrick Parsons “I don’t think we should change it at all. It’s a hassle. There’s 24 hours in a day no matter which way you look at it.”

RCMP are investigating a double homicide and have a male in custody. RCMP were called to a residence in Hanna in the early hours of March 8. Upon arrival, they located an individual who claimed he had killed two people. When police attended the possible crime scene, two people, a male and a female, were located deceased inside. The investigation is in its

very early stages, and continues with the assistance of the RCMP Forensic Identiﬁcation Unit, as well as the RCMP Major Crimes Unit. A 24 year old male, believed to be related to one of the victims, is currently in police custody. If you have any information relating to this crime or any other crime, please contact the Hanna RCMP Detachment at 403-854-3393 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Letter to the Editor Inside Drumheller Dear Editor, Due to other commitments, I was unable to attend the Town Meeting a bit ago, regarding the relocation of the Town Hall. However, I did have a personal conversation with the Mayor with my opinion on this matter. According to the paper report following the meeting, it was stated, the majority in attendance were supportive of this move.

Perhaps this was because of who attended, I do not know, but I do know there has been a lot of concern amongst the local public with this decision, particularly due to another huge unnecessary cost at this time, which no doubt will fall back on the taxpayers. I want to commend Chip Aiello on his commentary, last week in your paper, who presented the facts so well, when he discussed ‘Wants and Needs’. I, and many others, agree totally with him, and have heard many well-deserved and positive comments on his column of last week. Is this relocation really supported by the majority of citizens, with the weak reasons for the move, as presented?? Elaine Berdahl

New look at lacrosse Alberta Lacrosse is reaching out across the province and this week they are in Drumheller introducing the sport to youngsters in the valley. On Wednesday, Alberta Lacrosse was at St. Anthony’s in the morning and then DVSS in the afternoon. In the evening they were at the Recreation Fair dem-

onstrating the sport. On Thursday morning they were at Greentree School. Leading the demonstration was Jesse Fehr, he plays for the Edmonton Rush and also played at Harvard and Duke University. Here he guides Grade 11 and 12 phys-ed students through the basics of the game. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Checking out what Drumheller has to offer Residents were perusing through what clubs and organizations are available in Drumheller during the Sports, Recreation, and Arts Expo at the Badlands Community Facility on Wednesday, March. Over 40 booths were present and a few groups

gave demonstrations to attendees. For more information on what’s around town, check out the Wednesday, March 7, edition of The Drumheller Mail for its Spring/Summer program guide. inSide photo by Michael James

Dalton McGuinty. Sounds more like a name of a sheriff in a small Irish village, rather than the premier of a large, financially handicapped province in the middle of Canada. Dalton McGuinty, the premier of Ontario, that once arrogant giant, and economic engine of Canada, (the province, not the premier), now finds himself wearing concrete overshoes (manufactured in Ontario), and slowly sinking in a quagmire, also manufactured in Ontario. So desperate is he to keep his head from going under that he swings an angry paw at whatever is within reach; whatever he might grasp, with which he might pull himself to safety. Last week his feeble paw swung at what of late, seems to be everybody’s favourite target, Alberta’s oilsands. Fortunately, all he got was sticky, black hands and a red face. Ontario is in a tough situation, some say comparable to Greece. (An overstatement but still a fair analogy). For years the heart of Ontario’s economy was the manufacturing sector, and the export of manufactured goods. For years the jobs in the manufacturing sector were protected by large, powerful unions, ensuring high wages and good benefits. Today, a lot of the manufactured goods are now made in other countries, where unions do not exist. Ontario has lost a lot of its manufacturing, and its jobs. Dalton McGuinty prefers to look past that, and blames a high dollar for lost manufacturing jobs. And who’s at fault for a high dollar? Alberta and our oilsands of course, (just as we are for global warming or climate change or whatever they’re calling it now). I have trouble making the connection, but I’m not an economist nor have I ever claimed to be too smart. This much I do know, if the entire oilsands were fenced, padlocked and no company allowed to mine the oil, this whole country, not just Ontario, would dive into the deepest economic funk that my generation will have every experienced. Just where does Dalton McGuinty think the billions we send out in transfer payments come from? Mr. McGuinty has, in large part, created his own problems. To some he is kiddingly referred to as “Premier Daddy”, for all the vast array of social programs that his government has created and implemented. A program for this, a program for that, spend, spend, spend and when you find you can’t cover all the spending, well, don’t blame Dalton, you guys wanted all that stuff. Hey, maybe this is like Greece. The citizens lobby for this and that, they want to retire at 55, pay no income tax and have a fully funded government pension. Oops, sorry. After all those nice programs, there’s nothing left to pay your retirement pension. Now how’d that happen? 10b

Firefighters honoured at annual awards banquet Michael James| inSide Drumheller

Members of the Drumheller Fire Department were honoured for their achievements two weekends ago at the Annual Stag and Awards presentation night. FireďŹ ghters and their families were treated to dinner and then the awards presentations were made. The Mayor's Trophy for highest attendance went to one of the newest members of the Department, Mitch Farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised with the attendance trophy. There are a lot of ďŹ reďŹ ghters who put in high attendance,â&#x20AC;? said Farmer. The Mayor's Trophy was created in 1982 and has had a recipient every year since. It goes to the ďŹ reďŹ ghter with the highest percentage of emergency call responses in one year. Not only did Farmer receive the Mayor's Trophy, he was presented with his pewter mug, engraved with his name and the year he joined the department. The mug is a tradition for members who complete their six month probation period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got my mug and that was a great moment,â&#x20AC;? said Farmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud to be in the Drumheller Fire Department. To be welcomed in, get my mug, and win the attendance trophy was a very exciting night.â&#x20AC;? Farmer was inspired to join last year through grandfather and ďŹ re chief Bill Bachynski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew up seeing him and the department and joined a year ago,â&#x20AC;? said Farmer â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it, I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing else like it.â&#x20AC;? Bob Boyce, another new member, was presented with his mug as well. Merv Smith, who has been with the department for eight years was awarded the Rollie Yavis Trophy for oustanding achievement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was quite surprised and I appreciate it very much,â&#x20AC;? said Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was well deserving of the award,â&#x20AC;? said Bachynski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an unanimous decision that it be awarded this year.â&#x20AC;?

The trophy was created last year and it was agreed upon by the oďŹ&#x192;cers that it would only be awarded when someone was deserving of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever is deserving would be someone who goes above and beyond, by helping other ďŹ reďŹ ghters or organizing events for example,â&#x20AC;? explained Bachynski.

It isn’t something that most want. The name toupee is synonymous with a feeble attempt by a middle-aged man looking for something a little cheaper than a Corvette to maintain his youth. A little less dignified than the comb-over, and more expensive than shaving your head completely. Why would anyone want to wear a toupee? That is just what nine Grade 7 students and St. Anthony’s vice principal Celeste Schrock did Tuesday. They participated in Toupee for a Day.

While the toupee is maligned, on March 7, it had a meaningful purpose for Wellspring Calgary and its quest to support those battling and recovering from cancer. While cancer treatment can rob patients of their hair, Wellspring’s Toupee For a Day puts it back. And what a toupee it is. The bun-like hairpiece has a bright green chinstrap and has a rainbow of colour. Schrock explains that each colour represents a different form of cancer; pink for breast cancer, green for throat cancer and lavender for supporters.

Schrock says the toupees are to raise awareness and to raise funds. Wellspring Calgary is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to support people living with cancer and their families. It 's mission is “…providing a comprehensive range of cancer supports, resources and programs for patients and their families so they can develop skills and strategies to improve their quality of life during and beyond cancer.” It operates Carma House, out of which it delivers many of its dozens of services and activities.

Cenovus is giving a teen a chance to name the new young adult section at the new Drumheller Public Library, and sweetening the pot with some cool gadgetry. Cenovus has purchased the naming right to the library section and are now holding a contest for a young reader to name the section. Director of library services Melissa D’Onofrio-Jones said the contest runs through the month of March. Entry forms have been provided to the schools, or young people can enter online. The process is simple, young people aged 12-18 are eligible. The names will be judged on how creative, welcoming and exciting the name is, and they must reside in Drumheller, Kneehill or Starland county.

The winner’s entry will be used for the signage on the new section. They will also receive an iPad 2, a free library membership and Cenovus Energy will make a donation of $250 in the winner’s name to a charity of their choice. The runner up will receive a Kobo e-reader as well as a free library card and the $250 donation in their name. D’Onofrio-Jones is excited about the new section. She says the new section will have more shelving and they are hoping to include a computer in the area. The arrangement of the shelves will create a sort of alcove creating a separate space with furniture. She hopes the contest will generate some interest by young people to check out the space and even check out some books. They have been maintaining a stock of books

and media that appeal to the age bracket, including graphic novels. With access to the Marigold System they have access to a broad collection. Library members also have access to digital copies of works. “Public libraries often see a decline in that age group, which is really unfortunate, so we are hoping this contest will encourage teens to come into the library and see what we have to offer, even if its research for a project and not enjoyment reading. If they need information for school, we can help them with online databases and enhanceed resources,” said D’OnofrioJones. “There is a wealth of information and we want to make sure they know it is available.” The contest closes March 31.

Winter blast freezes Dynos zone hopes Michael James | inSide Drumheller

For a couple, this was their last game,â&#x20AC;? said Hatch. The Dynos were in Condor this past weekend for their last tournament of the season. The Dynos lost all three games they played. However, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just the other teams that the Dynos had to contend with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other teams were already gearing up for playoďŹ&#x20AC;s, but we were just getting back into the swing of things,â&#x20AC;? said Hatch. On Friday, the Dynos faced Acme, their league rival and a powerful team. The Dynos couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a handle on the Acme squad and were defeated. Acme would eventually go on to win the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our game against Acme would have been a really good game, but the calls were a bit suspect. The girls got so frustrated they started to foul.â&#x20AC;? The calls were lopsided and, to many observers (including parents from Acme), nonsensical. The next day, Hatch was warned by the referee that the Dynos were on thin ice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The referee didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give us much of a chance on the next

When residents looked out of their homes or went to their vehicles on Monday evening, they were treated to some mischief from Old Man Winter. For the girls Dynos basketball team, the prank went too far. This week the Dynos would have competed to qualify for zone championships. Their ďŹ rst game was on Monday in Cochrane. Like so many other Albertans that evening, the team saw the road conditions and made the choice to stay home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to forfeit the game. We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t travel to Cochrane, because of the weather,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Ryan Hatch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were seeded higher than us, so they win the forfeit.â&#x20AC;? The choice to forfeit the game was made especially bitter, because now their season is over. The second round of zones began Wednesday evening and the Dynos didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a chance to make up Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we made the right decision, even though some of the girls were disappointed.

game, but they played with a lot of dignity,â&#x20AC;? said Hatch. The Dynos went up against Rimbey and the host school, David Thompson, the next day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They played the next couple of games well,â&#x20AC;? said Hatch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough tournament for the girls.â&#x20AC;? Now that the basketball season has ended the girls will be moving on to other sports or ďŹ nishing up their school year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good season. I think people were surprised. We came home with a big win this year and we had some really close games, whereas in years past we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. There were a lot of positives this year.â&#x20AC;? Three Dynos will be graduating this year. The remaining girls have expressed interest in continuing and there is room for players coming up and from multiple schools. This year, Dynos included students from both DVSS and St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came together quite well,â&#x20AC;? said Hatch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as we have girls from either school wanting to play basketball, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make sure they can play,â&#x20AC;?

Heartbreaker for junior high Dynos Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller It was a barnburner last Tuesday night as the DVSS Junior High Boys took on the Prairie Christian Academy Sabres for the Golden Hills League championship. The team had split this season during league play, and both teams came prepared to face oďŹ&#x20AC; at DVSS. The game was back and forth from the beginning. The Sabres led by ďŹ ve points after the ďŹ rst quarter, but the Dynos were able to go in to the half leading 33-29. PCA had a strong third quarter and were up 43-37 going into the last period. The Dynos chipped away and held oďŹ&#x20AC; the Sabres with strong team defense and a three pointer by Jordie Andrew put the Dynos on top 44-43. PCA went up but Sam Brown responded with another three going up 47-45. PCA tied again with 1:34 remaining and an untimely foul with 26 seconds left allowed the Sabres to

pull ahead by one. The DYNOS came back with a 3 pointer at the buzzer but it fell short. Brown led the way with 16 points, Adam Shymanski, Jordie Andrew and Tracker Robinson each had 9 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard this was the ďŹ rst time in at least 15 years we have hosted the league championship, so it is awesome,â&#x20AC;? said coach Al Molzan. This ends the season for the Dynos. Coach Al Molzan said the team was hampered by an injury as a sprained ankle kept Matt Thomas out of the game. Nonetheless the team had a strong season, ďŹ nishing league play in ďŹ rst place and a strong showing at zones. They also claimed the consolation trophy at their home tourney. Molzan says the future looks strong for the Junior High team as he is only losing four players who are going up to the senior high level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a pretty good nucleus of Grade eights to work with,â&#x20AC;? said Molzan.

Raptors trio continue play in League Championship Michael James| inSide Drumheller

This past weekend marked the end of another round of playoff action for several of the Drumheller Minor Hockey Raptors. At its conclusion, three of the four Raptors who entered the weekend will continue on their playoff march. The DMHA Novice Raptors, who had come off a big win against Strathmore the previous weekend, were going into game 3, where the winner would take all. By the end of the second period it was a stalemate, tied at 3-3. In the third period, Strathmore turned up the heat and scored 4 unanswered goals. The Novice Raptors couldn’t break the Strathmore defence and their playoff run was ended. Pliva explained that despite the season having ended, it doesn’t mean they’ll stop playing. “We’re not done. We’re going to have a couple more exhibition games and have some fun,” said head coach Tony Pliva. “We learned a lot, the kids and parents were great, it was a fun year.” The Hi-Way 9 Pee Wee Raptors had a break this past

weekend. They’ll be back in action tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. in High River, followed by a home game in Hussar on Sunday at 12:15 p.m. The Boston Pizza/Western Chevrolet Bantam Raptors are starting their next round this weekend after defeating Medicine Hat this past Saturday. The Bantam Raptors began their dominance early in the game, scoring four unanswered goals by the time Medicine Hat could respond at 6:19 into the second period. Medicine Hat struggled to come back, but the Bantam Raptors held them off and won 7-4. The Bantam Raptors will be up against Claresholm this weekend. The first game starts at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday at the Drumheller Memorial Arena. For the Bertram Drilling/ Sports Room Midget Raptors, their series victory over High River could not have been any closer. On Saturday the Midget Raptors were in High River hoping to win the second game and series. During the first period, the teams were neck and neck, exchanging goals. The two teams headed into the first in-

termission with a 3-3 tie. High River came out for the second period with a vengeance, scoring five unanswered goals. The Midget Raptors couldn’t catch up and lost 8-5. The next day was a must win situation for the Midget Raptors. A loss would remove them from the playoffs. After two periods, the outlook for the Midget Raptors was looking grim. High River had taken a 4-1 lead. The Midget Raptors battled back and in the final minute were down by one goal. In the dying seconds, during a scramble in front of the High River net, one of the opposing defencemen cupped the puck in his hands in the hopes of getting a rather unsportsmanlike victory. The referees saw the deception and awarded the Raptors with a penalty shot with 1.1 seconds left in the game. Thomas Ahner, who had scored four of the Raptors goals that afternoon, was given the shot and scored. The game was headed to overtime. What transpired in overtime is hard to believe. “We had a player in the penalty box and just as it expired

The Bertram Drilling/Sports Room Midget Raptors, after being down by three goals after the first period, battled back to win 7-6. The Midget, Boston Pizza/Western Chevrolet Bantam, and Hi-Way 9 Pee Wee Raptors will be heading to the next round of playoffs this weekend. inSide photo by Michael James

Mitch Toffan flicked the puck off the glass, hit a High River player in the helmet, the puck went way up in the air, and then landed in front of Spencer Fournier who went on a breakaway and scored,” said head coach Darren Toffan. The win means the Midget Raptors are heading to the next round of playoffs. The team will be playing tonight at 7:00 p.m. in Hussar against

Okotoks. The Midget Raptors had beaten Okotoks 8-0 in their previous meeting, though they’ll be facing a different team. Okotoks had defeated the top team in the league in the first round of playoffs. For more information about minor hockey, check out www. drumhellerminorhockey.com.

Dragon chosen for AJHL all-rookie team Michael James| inSide Drumheller

Tye Hand who began his AJHL career with the Drumheller Dragons this past season has been given a special honour. The rookie was named to the AJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CCM southern division all-rookie team. The ďŹ rst all-rookie team was created in 1996 as a way to recognize the top rookie players. Coaches and general managers from all over the league meet each year to discuss who merits inclusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The team was developed as a way for the AJHL to recognize the performance of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top rookies,â&#x20AC;? explained Charla Flett, AJHL communications and online statistician.

This year, Hand, a defenceman, was named to the team due to his growth as a player and his dedication. For Hand, being allowed to learn with the Dragons contributed to his big year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that paying attention to detail, learning from the coach and the veteran defencemen helped me out a lot this year,â&#x20AC;? explained Hand. Handâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst game with the Dragons was on November 18 and he played 25 games this season. Being named to the team and receiving such recognition for his eďŹ&#x20AC;orts has been exciting for Hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great honour to be named to the team. I could never have done it without my teammates,â&#x20AC;? said Hand.

ing high with a top ranking in the zone and second overall ranking at the provincial level for 2A basketball, it is not a foregone conclusion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to focus on taking care of the ball and playing good team defense,â&#x20AC;? said head coach JeďŹ&#x20AC; Messom, discussing the keys for the Dynos. The slate of teams includes Hanna, Oyen, St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Collegiate of Brooks, Strathcona Tweedsmuir of Okotoks, Holy Cross of Strathmore, Hugh Sutherland School of Carstairs and Prairie Christian Academy (PCA). The competition will be strong. This year the Dynos were successful in beating the Holy Cross team, who is ranked third in the Zone, twice. PCA is another strong team, with a ďŹ fth overall provincial ranking. The Dynos have a 2-1 record versus PCA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it is a pretty competitive ďŹ eld and it is going to come down to which team has every-
