inSide STREETERS The Conservative government announced last week that they would be asking Parliament to investigate changing the lyrics of “O Canada." In face of the public outcry that followed, PM Harper backtracked and announced the anthem would not be changed, inSide Drumheller asked: “What do you think about this decision?”

Ajsa Ferguson “In one respect it shouldn’t be changed. But maybe we should examine the past civilizations and the changes that have happened in today’s world too.”

Cameron Weatherly “I think it shouldn’t be changed as it has been like that for ever.”

Facility plan gets “OK” from public O.R. Sheddy | Inside Drumheller

Members of the public were pleased with the overall plan for the town’s $23 million Badlands Community Facility, following an Open House Wednesday evening, March 10. This was the first time that an updated plan has been viewed by the public and existing donors for the project. Over 70 people attended the event at the Civic Centre, which was hosted by members of the Facility’s Design Committee. Site work has already begun on the location of the old John Anderson Ball Park and adjacent parking lot and, according to David Edmunds of the Calgary architectural firm, Graham, Edmunds, Cartier, the plans are basically complete. Drawings will soon be okayed by the Town and the Committee, and a call for tenders will go out in April. “We’re pretty happy with the way the building has turned out,” said Edmunds. “It is going to fit into the landscape here nicely and it is going to be a really great mix of spaces in the heart of the commu-

nity. You are going to get a lot of use from the building from six in the morning until midnight, as the uses change.” Target completion date for the project is August of 2011. The Drumheller Public Library will occupy the main floor with some 9,000 sq. ft., about 1/3 more space than they currently enjoy in the downtown location. Several rooms on the north side of the main floor will be added for gallery, crafts and multi-use. Above the library will be a banquet hall that will be available for meetings and banquets and can be divided if need be. A servery area will allow for food preparation for catered events. In the west wing of the facility, the main floor will house a field house and fitness centre, along with team rooms and locker rooms, to facilitate the multi-use focus of the building. This area will be used for a variety of sports such as badminton, volleyball, basketball and gymnastics, and accommodate several activities at the same time. Storage areas are included as well as a fitness studio.

Joe Turgeon “I think this was a distraction to take people’s mind off the real issues, such as the Afghanistan prisoners!” An overhead view of the Community Facility master plan. The drawings for the building were unveiled at an Open House on Wednesday March 10 at the Civic Centre. About 70 were attendance.

On the second level, a running/walking track is planned, open to the area below. The facility would be constructed east of the Memorial Arena allowing the curling rink to remain in the short term. Eventually, a second rink surface and a curling facility are to be included on the site. Design Committee cochair Brooke Christianson told inSide Drumheller, “We’re very pleased that we had a great showing from the public tonight at the Open House. There has been some great interaction and questions,” said Christianson. “We’ve been able to thank our donors and the drawings are fantastic.” The town is optimistic about greatly improving cost recovery on operations for the facility, once it is built. According to information obtained from the town, “the existing subsidy for the arena and Aquaplex is $477,692, with a recovery on operations of over 40 per cent. The incremental subsidy required to operate the new spaces will be $244,975

and recovery on operations of 77.60 per cent”. Town Councillor Sharel Shoff was pleased with what the facility has to offer the public. “I think it will serve the people of Drumheller and all types of people; the seniors, the young, the people who want to exercise and become physically fit. I think it will bring people with the banquet facility, it will be good for the Music Festival and people who can use the meeting rooms,” said Shoff. “I think it is all around good for Drumheller.” The Facility’s Fundraising Committee, headed by Jeff Hall, is currently accepting donations from the public and private sectors, and the total now stands at approximately $1.7 million, out of a total goal of $6 million for the first phase. For information on how to donate to the facility, contact Jeff Hall at 403-8237800, or any fundraising committee member. For more information on the facility go to www.dinosaurvalley.com.

ATCO Electric outlines their 2010-2011 plans for Drumheller Pascale Taylor | inSide Drumheller

A delegation from ATCO Electric outlined the company’s plans for 2010-2011 at the Drumheller Town Council Meeting on Monday, March 1. Terry Beaupre, team lead at ATCO Drumheller, explained they will be concentrating their work on a new main power line, north of Drumheller, and looking at upgrading the lines in Nacmine. The new power line will start at the Crossman strip at the airport and will include an underground line going from the south end of upper Midland to the Michichi Creek bridge. It will then go overhead to the other side of the highway, then underground again all the way to the Spray park. This new line will create a new feed into Drumheller with separate a circuit which will become the service to upper Midland and along Dinosaur Trail. It will underground power for the new Catholic School and the Drumheller Health Centre. Part of the reason for an underground feed was to provide a safer environment around the new school grounds. Council had asked ATCO to help the town with their effort to beautify Drumheller while they undertake new projects. This underground line will improve the aesthetic at Rotary Splash Park as the overhead electrical structure will be removed. Part of the purpose for the new feeders is to provide a feed for downtown from two locations should there be a flood and the infrastructure were to be damaged. It is anticipated the work will start at the airport in May and will be halted during the summer season so as not to cause disruptions during tourist season., Work will resume again in September. Longer term, ATCO will also concentrate on improving the infrastructure in Nacmine and other areas such as Rosedale and East Coulee. Beaupre explained they will begin in Nacmine as the problem there is larger

than in other communities and the development of new houses has brought the problem to the forefront. “Most of the infrastructure was put in by the mining company,” he said, “and it doesn’t meet today’s standard for electrical infrastructure, particularly around clearance issues over roads, back alleys and to buildings.” As they will look at relocating the lines underground, there will be costs implications and it will affect other utilities. Beaupre confirmed they will work closely with other services during this project, as well as with customers. ATCO plans this project will take 5 - 10 years to complete. Bridget Unland, customer services representative at ATCO, updated council with further ATCO plans for the coming year. Historically, some of the damaged underground feed, which could not be repaired, was replaced by a temporary overhead connection on some of the

street lights. ATCO will focus their efforts on cleaning these up and repairing the underground connections. As this may involve digging up pavement and/or lawns, Unland explained, they would involve customers in the process, as well as the Town of Drumheller. Council had previously indicated to ATCO they would like Drumheller to be considered as a location for piloting a new type of street lighting using LED technology which is believed to reduce operation and maintenance costs. Unland explained that ATCO had investigated the feasibility of using LED for street lighting and found that, at present, they did not have the knowledge, nor the equipment required to implement LED street lighting. They have put a team together to investigate the life cycle of LED lights as there are some known reliability issues, particularly in colder climates. ATCO will revisit the project on completion of the study.

are you? WHO Name: Rita Chang Diaz Employer: I’m a freelance writer so myself, I guess. What do you like about your job? I set my own schedule for the most part. Where do you live? New York, New York baby! How long have you lived there? I moved here from Costa Rica in 1992, so 18 years now. It’s crazy how time just flies like that. What do you like about the place? It’s never quiet. Not ever... the street sounds like music: it’s a harsher, more industrialized beat than the jungle, but listening to it reminds me of times I spent climbing through the trees back home with my Dad. It’s never quiet there either. Nope, not ever. If you could change one thing about the town you live in what would it be? I miss my family, I wish they lived here with me...Lord knows I could never move back there, not now....the education they sent me here for has been very different from what we expected. I’m afraid I wouldn’t fit in anymore... If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Right here. I love it, even if it’s a bit cold. America is my home now. What is your one regret in life? Who has only one regret? I have

so many, so many indeed but I am looking more to the future now instead of dwelling on what can’t be changed. I am living for today and right now, that is enough. Your life’s best achievement? I worked hard for my degree, I’m very proud of that accomplishment. I did it while working a full-time job and finished school without debt thanks to hard work and determination, as well as my father’s contribution. He saved for as long as I can remember to be able to send me here. I think the people living outside this country have a very different idea of American life than what it’s really like. Still, I’m happy here. What are your strengths? I am very organized. I am fun-loving and have an enjoyable personality. Any weaknesses? Of course! I would never just give you my kryptonite though. Three words that best describe you? Vivacious, outgoing and friendly. What makes you happy? Reggae, happy people...a well made martini. Little pleasures. If you could travel back in time and meet yourself as a 10 year old kid, what advice would you give yourself? I would tell me to

enjoy my family every moment. To enjoy every moment, because they pass by so suddenly: the moments we cherish, they pass into memory and soon are gone.

Hey Romeo, nice work! band breaks into Top 20

Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Hey Romeo has broken through the #20 ceiling on the Mediabase Canadian Country charts. The band, featuring Drumheller native Rob Shapiro, has been steadily making music since 2002 under their previous moniker Utter Madness, and now Hey Romeo. In 2007, they released their self-titled album. Their cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Second Hand News received strong airplay. Along the way, the band won the 2008 CMAA Top New Group award, and in 2009 Shapiro won the CCMA Keyboard Player of the Year. They are back on the radio as their recently released single Searching for You is now #19 in the Mediabase Canadian Country charts. “So, among North American country acts being played on the radio in Canada, we’re #19 as of Saturday,” an elated Shapiro told inSide Drum-

heller. “This is rare air for us as it’s our first Top 20. I was in the Canadian Tire parking lot in Drumheller when I was talking to our radio promotion team over the holidays and we all picked numbers that we hoped our new single Searchin for You would go to, I picked #17 and the team picked #23. I have since changed my mind to Top 10!” The ranking can only be a boost for the band as it gains notoriety across the country. “That will be a big difference maker to us for the rest of the year as far as live shows at concerts, festivals, tours, exhibitions, rodeos and other events. It also will open the door for us to be an opening act for the big ticket Nashville acts that play at the dome that need “support” acts, or openers,” said Shapiro. “It would be huge for Hey Romeo to be on a bill with Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Toby Keith, Rascal Flatts or Kenny Chesney. It helps establish the band’s demographic and adds to our fan base by being on those type of hugely attended shows. Going Top 20 is a big deal,

even if we don’t go Top 10, it's mission accomplished for the first single of our new album.” Mediabase produces music charts based not on sales, but radio play. It monitors almost 2,000 radio stations throughout Canada and the US. The future looks bright for the band. They have a number of Canadian tour dates coming up and even a possible stop in Drumheller. They will be appearing at Nashville North during the Calgary Stampede and may even head to France. They have also signed with Royalty Records based out of Edmonton. This will give the band better distribution as they move forward. “That’s going to be key to getting the music to people. Walmart, HMV and other retailers will have the disc before summer,” said Shapiro. To keep up with the band, fans can go to www.heyromeo.com to learn more. There is a link to request their latest single to local radio stations. Fans can also follow the band on Facebook.

Piano adjudicator named for Music Festival submitted | inSide Drumheller

The Drumheller and District Music Festival is just around the corner, and the organizers have secured Edwin Gnandt as the Piano adjudicator. The Canadian pianist enjoys a successful career with over five hundred appearances as soloist, accompanist, adjudicator and workshop clinician. He has been praised by the San Francisco Examiner for his “consistently alluring sound,” by the Oakland Tribune for his “ear for phrasing,” and by the Los Angeles Times for his “distinct refinement.” Mr. Gnandt’s performances have taken him throughout Canada and the United States as well as to Russia and Scotland. Recent appearances include St. Petersburg, Russia; Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle, and Vancouver. Recently, he was invited as a visiting Professor of Music at Azuza Pacific University in Los Angeles, California, where he collaborated with Polish pianist Roza Yoder in pursuing his continued interest in Chopin. Mr. Gnandt completed his

Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Calgary and his Master of Music at the University of Washington under Randolph Hokanson. He also studied at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland under a Canada Council grant and did postgraduate studies with Adele Marcus at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. He collaborates and records with many of Canada’s finest musicians. Mr. Gnandt currently serves as a full-time faculty member at Ambrose University College, Calgary.

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome

by C. Aiello

I’ve written so many versions of today’s column that I’m not entirely sure that what you’re reading is exactly what I wanted to write. It was all due to my skepticism. In the first version I thoroughly lambasted our Olympic athletes for their less than stellar performances. In the second version I spread the blame to include the bozo who came up with the “Own the Podium” program. In the last version I went further, to include all of us viewers who were taken in by all the massive “I believe” advertising campaign. Let’s face it, you put everything together and you have a confluence of hype, hope and pressure that carries away all rationality. We expect a medal performance from every athlete, and every athlete is expected to deliver. As I sat writing this, someone spoke from behind me saying, “Don’t be negative.” He made a point, negative criticism is no way to treat someone who gives their best. I don’t like trash talk, but neither do I like unwarranted praise. I don’t like braggadoccio, unless it can be backed up. To brag, to trash talk, gives the impression that you are very good at that about which you are bragging. You raise the hopes of those around you, they expect a world class performance. And so to the Olympic Games. The Canadian Olympic Committee put on a show of braggadoccio with its “Own the Podium” program. I believe that our athletes are as good or better than any in the world, and they don’t need anyone to brag about it. A program like “Own the Podium” puts undue expectations on them and raises the hopes of Canadians to the point where anything less than a podium finish is unacceptable. Rubbish! Sometimes things happen that are beyond an athletes control, regardless of skill, conditioning or talent. Ask the speed skater who gets wiped out in a corner by another skater who is trying to pass; or the skeleton racer who gets a little out of the groove and touches the wall; or the curler, whose stone catches a piece of grit, causing it to slide clean through the house, straight as a pin. Things happen, and no stupid program should rule how we feel toward our athletes. I wrote all of the above well before all the women’s triumphs, before the curling, the hockey, and men’s pursuit. “Own the Podium” might sound like braggadoccio, but apparently it worked. Canada set a record for gold medals in any Olympic Games, summer or winter. In all, we won 26 medals. We’re not used to kicking that kind of butt, usually we’re on the receiving end. I once read that a racehorse runs with his lungs, perseveres with his heart and wins with his character. Our athletes proved as good as any racehorse, and I salute them. No more standing in the shadow of the Americans, being a good sport, thinking, “Oh well, second place is pretty good”. As an analogy, let me use a line from the movie “Patton”, where the general is exhorting his troops before a battle: “They say it’s an honour to die for your country in battle.” “It’s stupid to die for your country in battle, dead men don’t win battles.” “Give the other poor son of a gun the honour of dying in battle for his country.” It’s an honour to win silver or bronze for your country. Our athletes, being nice, polite Canadians took it a step further, and decided in many cases, to allow the other fellow the honour of winning silver or bronze for his country. Gold became the colour of choice for the Canadian. Nice going. 10s

Committee struck to bring playground to new St. Anthony’s School Patrick Kolafa | Inside Drumheller

While St. Anthony’s School is excited to have a new home come 2011, a committee is working hard to make sure students have a top-notch playground in place when the school opens. The St. Anthony’s School Council has formed a playground committee to raise

funds for a new playground for the new school on North Dinosaur Trail. Chair of the committee Alexis Pepin says, they have a goal to raise in the area of at least $150,000, for the playground, and have a way to go to reach that goal. Their timeline is somewhat truncated because they would like to have the playground in by Sep-

tember long weekend, while the weather is still optimal for installation. The committee has undertaken some fundraising endeavours including the Reading Rocks Program at St. Anthony’s School. It was a read-a-thon where students were able to win prizes while they worked on their literacy skills.

The committee is also looking at some other events in the near future. They are looking to solicit donations from residents or businesses in the area who can see all the benefits of such a playground. While the apparatus will be on the school grounds, a modern playground can only benefit the community at large, giving youngsters

a fun and safe place to explore. They are looking at ways to recognizing sponsors at the playground when it opens. The committee is also looking into possible grants for the project. For more information on the playground project or to support it, contact Alexis Pepin at 403-823-5344.

RCMP focus on seatbelt awareness in March submitted | Inside Drumheller Alberta RCMP, along with their enforcement partners, and in conjunction with Regional Health Authorities and partners in the Alberta Occupant Restraint Program, are launching the annual spring seatbelt awareness and enforcement campaign. “In 2009, Transport Canada statistics show that 40 per cent of people in fatal motor vehicle collisions would have lived if they simply put on their seatbelts. Many of these occupants would have survived, and indeed, walked away from these collisions if they had been wearing their seatbelts,” says Inspector James Stiles, Officer-in-Charge. Provincial data shows that occupants who were using occupant restraints at the time of a collision were injured less often (10.3 per cent) as compared with occupants who were not using restraints (38.7 per cent). Therefore, non-restraint users were

three and a half times more likely to be injured as restraint users. Statistics show that 75 per cent of people who are ejected from their vehicles die as a result of ejection. During the month of March, RCMP members will be conducting Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) vehicle checks focusing on occupant restraints. Policing agencies across the province will be enforcing seatbelt and child safety seat infractions. If you’re caught not wearing your seatbelt or with an improperly secured child seat, you will be fined. “We see the tragic results of people not using seatbelts all the time,” says Stiles. “People don’t realize that it takes only a second to buckle up and save a life. Wearing your seatbelt is the most simple and effective thing you can do to reduce your chance of being harmed in a motor vehicle collision.”

AUMA Board plans August visit to Drumheller Pascale Taylor | inSide Drumheller

Every year, the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) conducts an off-site visit at one of their member communities and they have chosen Drumheller to be that community this year. The AUMA is an umbrella organization for urban municipalities in Alberta. It advocates to other levels or orders of government in order

to assist municipalities, for instance, advocating for legislation changes and grant funding. An example of a program they initiated is the affordable housing program. Recently, Councillor Karen Bertamini, who is also an AUMA board member, took a resolution on behalf of Drumheller to the AUMA Mayors’ caucuses office to ask whether they would compile a list of uses that were appropriate for

different levels of contaminated brownfield properties. The resolution also asked the AUMA to lobby the province for appropriate legislative changes within the Municipal Government Act to give municipalities more power, such as tax breaks, on these properties in order for municipalities to help developers move forward with this type of land. Such legislation change would benefit every municipality in the province.

The purpose of off-site visits is for board members to learn more about the Albertan municipalities that the AUMA is serving. The fifteen board members and staff will be visiting Drumheller in August, for a total of three days, spending two days attending meetings at Drumheller’s Council Chambers. Council will organize tours of the community to talk about partnerships the town

has built and tour sites around the valley, including those that will explain the changes which have taken place and the municipal strategies that were put forward to enable those changes, for instance Drumheller’s landfill and recycling strategy. The meeting will also be an opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions from the AUMA board members on some issues Drumheller is facing.

The AUMA Board has selected Drumheller for their off-site visit this year. In August, board members and staff will spend three days in Drumheller, attending meetings at Drumheller Council Chambers and visiting the area to learn about projects and partnerships in the valley. In the photo are the board members, with Drumheller Councillor Karen Ann Bertamini fifth from the left.

Children from Kindergarten to Grade 6 took part in Olympics events with each class representing a Canadian province. Nine different stations were set up to represent an event, such as bobsled, hockey, curling, ski jumping and bi-athlon. The event also included lighting of a cauldron and parents could take photos with torch bearer Rav Lal’s Olympic Torch.

inSideEMPLOYMENT We Won’t Pay! fills Rosebud Theatre with non-stop laughs Side splitting comedy will have audiences rolling in the aisles submitted | Inside Drumheller

Remember when comedian Lucille Ball in 'I Love Lucy' started work at the chocolate factory with Ethel? Soon, they were doing wacky things to keep up with the assembly Are you ing , outgo creative ing for k and loo ing new h t e som ing? & excit

line. Every move they made escalated into even more outrageous consequences. This spring, Rosebud Theatre renews this laugh-a-minute scenario with We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! playing from March 12 to May 15. Director, Karl Sine, describes the show as “a wild and zany story about normal people finding themselves in extraordinary situations. The neighbourhood has erupted

into a domestic revolution that feels like 'The Honeymooners' meets 'I Love Lucy'. Two crazy women and their hapless husbands are doing everything in their power to eek out a meagre existence, and if that means they have to break a few rules along the way to make ends meet, then so be it! Desperate times call for desperate measures. And after navigating through all the laughs and absurd situ-

ations, in the end, the play is really about love, friendship, family and loyalty, something we can all relate to and understand.” The comedy of classic television shows such as 'The Honeymooners' and 'I Love Lucy' had audiences doubled over with laughter. Simple antics and comments intensified tenacious situations to the extreme and created unimaginable outcomes. The humour in

We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! will do the same for Rosebud Theatre audiences. When a neighbourhood of women revolt against the rising price of groceries at the local supermarket, two couples get swept up in the whirlwind revolution of the day. With each move, the couples get pulled deeper and deeper into a powerful vortex of utter chaos and absurdity.

This could be the career you've been looking for!

at the 2A level, were the heavy favourites going into the game, and jumped out to an early lead. The Sabres matched the intensity and by half time were only down by nine points. In the third quarter, the Dynos’ smothering defense took its toll on the Sabres, and they fell behind. The Sabres showed signs of life in the fourth quarter, but the Dynos held a commanding lead and continued to hustle at both ends of the court. The Dynos went away with the victory..
