inSide STREETERS It appears federal opposition parties will call for a vote of non-confidence of the Tories, so inSide Drumheller asks, “Are you prepared for a federal election?”

Kevin McLellan "I’m ready for it, but we wont get a good government if someone doesn’t get a majority.”

Tara Semchuk “We need one, we need some change and our government is not doing what the people want.”

Brenda Epp “It’s just going to cost the taxpayers money. Spend it on something we actually need.”

Are you up to the Valley Trash Challenge? Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Earth Day is just around the corner, and Communities in Bloom is swinging into action to get the community involved in making Drumheller a cleaner place to be. The Valley Trash Challenge is slated for Thursday, April 21. This is where residents are challenged to clean up their neighbourhoods. The endeavour is a partnership among communities in Bloom, Encana, the Badlands Community Garden, the Heartwood Inn and Spa and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Last year was very successful as volunteers ﬁlled a 20-yard bin donated by Top Waste with garbage found throughout the valley. This year they are hoping to attract more people to the event. “I want to get more people involved this year,” said Trish Parker of Communities in Bloom. “We’re going to be bigger and better.” Last year the event prompted great support from the community. Not only did the challenge bring out a dedicated core of volunteers, but businesses were involved by cleaning up their own properties on their quest to make Drumheller garbage-free, but they also helped through corpo-

Bicknell charged following nine day manhunt Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller Alberta RCMP released information on charges against William Wade Bicknell on Wednesday, after the Drumheller Institution inmate escaped his escort guard and went on the lam for nine days. During that time, he held two people captive at gunpoint and was finally arrested after a police shootout near Sexsmith, AB. Convicted murderer Bicknell, 42, has been charged in relation to two separate events during his nine day stint as a fugitive. The Fort Saskatchewan charges include: escaping lawful custody, theft under threat of violence, break and enter a dwelling house, kidnapping with a firearm, two counts of pointing a firearm, and unlawful confinement with a firearm. In Vegreville, he has been charged with kidnapping with a firearm, unlawful confinement

with a firearm, pointing a firearm, and break and enter a dwelling house with intent. Bicknell’s charges relating to Sexsmith are still under investigation. He led police on a 24 kilometre chase, disabled a RCMP car with gunfire, and held a shootout with police before surrendering on a township road near Sexsmith. Bicknell is scheduled to appear in Fort Saskatchewan court on March 24, and in Vegreville Courthouse on March 28. He will not be making a physical appearance in either court. Charges are pending for the Sexsmith case, with police saying they will notify media once charges have been decided. Bicknell escaped his Drumheller Institution escort on March 10, when police say he overpowered the unarmed guard, stole his van, and drove to his sister’s house. His sister, Sandra Myshak, is alleged to have provided Bick-

On March 14, while still at large, police say Bicknell held a 72 year old man at gunpoint for 10 hours in the man’s home near Vegreville, east of Edmonton. The elderly man was released unharmed.

May Day to celebrate mining history, families Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The Centennial Planning Committee is busy getting ready for its May Day celebration, following a tradition of miners over the years. The committee has planned two days of celebrations spread over Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1. Jay Russell of the Atlas Coal Mine said May Day holds a special place in the history of labour and especially miners. “May 1 has traditionally been a day of celebration across the world for workers, and of course miners in the Drumheller valley always commemorated May Day,” said Russell. “It is my understanding if May 1st landed on a school day, even though it wasn’t oﬃcial, kids knew there would be a sports day, they knew there would be a march, all kinds of activity… there would even be the rare chance they would get an ice cream cone, they would skip school.” “We picked it because it is an important day for miners and their families.” He said since the advent of Labour Day in September, May Day was typically observed as a more serious day for union and labour issues, while Labour Day evolved into a family holiday. “Of course this year we are using it as the May Day Miners Festival, so we are looking at it as a more jubilant kind of day,” said Russell. Activities on Saturday, April 30 will be centered around East Coulee. “Even though we are the Atlas Coal Mine National Historic Site, ourselves, we don’t just remember the Atlas Coal Mine, our mandate is to remember the entire Drumheller district from Nacmine to Dunphy to Willow Creek to here. It is ﬁtting that some of the celebration of the Miners Centennial should be spread thought the existing communities today,” said Russell. Of course, the Atlas Coal Mine will be open for visits and tours on this day starting at 10 a.m. At 2 p.m. the East Coulee School Museum will be hosting activities and serving ice cream. At 3 p.m., there will be a book launch of Lawrence Chrismas’ latest project. In addition, Joe

Vickers, who has been commissioned to write an album in celebration of the centennial of coal mining, will perform. This is followed at 4 p.m. by a Hungarian Fruit Dance. “To my understanding, at certain times of the year when they have this dance, they would hang fruit and goodies down above the dance ﬂoor, and if you picked them and got caught, you would have to pay for them. If you didn’t get caught you got to keep them,” explained Russell. The celebration will continue as Lothar the Magician will be debuting his new ghost walk in Downtown Drumheller. There will also be opportunities for the ghost walk on Sunday. Vickers will also be performing at the Last Chance Saloon at 9 p.m. On Sunday, festivities will be in Downtown Drumheller with a pancake breakfast leading into a street festival. There will be costumed characters, music and entertainment. The DVSS graduating class will be hosting a barbecue during the event. Organizers are asking those with vintage cars from the days of mining to come down and show them oﬀ. Organizers insist the cars need not be in pristine condition, but like they would have been in the day of coal. May Day will also be the relaunch of the driving tour signs of historical sites.

That is what tied them all together.” During the afternoon, residents can also learn more about

the make up of the valley and its dozens of mines. Fred Orosz has teamed up with Wild West Tours to present a guided tour of the valley relic mine sites. Russell outlined the signiﬁcance of marking the centennial. “It is important that while we still have those families we connect with them and celebrate in remembrance of the contributions they made not only to our community, but building this part of the country because of our community,” said Russell.

Media reports of Drumheller flooding inaccurate: town submitted | inSide Drumheller

Some municipalities in Southern Alberta in the Cypress Hills and Medicine Hat areas are preparing for flood concerns due to the melt of a record snowfall. The province of Alberta has provided $1.2 million to help people in southeastern Alberta prepare for flooding. On March 16, a television news story was aired on a Calgary TV station about the flooding in southern Alberta. At the end of the story the news anchor mentioned that “there are reports of flooding in other parts of the province including the Drumheller area and Highway 3.” CAO for the Town of Drumheller, Ray Romanetz said, “The mention of Drumheller in the story is inaccurate as there are no indications that Drumheller will be in danger of flooding right now. Currently in Drumheller we are experiencing a spring melt, not a flood.” Mr. Romanetz

went on to explain, “When it gets warm again, we may see some water pools on the street or wet basements, but there are no flood conditions present. If there is a flood forecast, we would be working with Alberta Environment and implementing our disaster services plan.” Alberta Environment confirmed that currently there is no flood danger for Drumheller. They explained that the snow in the Red Deer Basin headwaters is average; however there is more snow on the plains which could account for localized flooding in certain areas of the province. If a flood were to occur in Drumheller it would be a combination of mountain and ground snow melt with a heavy rainfall combination. The last flood in Drumheller was in June of 2005. Drumheller is experiencing some localized flooding resulting from frozen culverts and snow accumulations in back alleys.

Federal election imminent Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

By the time most readers will see this news story, there is a good chance that a date will be set for the next federal election. What is certain is the leaders and politicians from the major political parties are in election mode. On Tuesday, Finance Minster Jim Flaherty brought down the federal budget and almost instantly it was universally panned by the opposition parties. With the government not appearing to budge and make concessions, it appears the country is heading into its next federal election. The Liberals gave a Notice of Motion on Wednesday, and it is expected the government will fall today (Friday). It is not unexpected judging by what is in the budget, said Owen Neal, social studies teacher at DVSS. He said it is an election budget, and it might be the best kick at the can for the Conservatives to gain its majority. "The opposition parties have no ideas, there is

Field Operator – Cessford ConocoPhillips Canada is currently seeking applications for a Contract Field Operator for our Cessford area. You will have a minimum two years operations experience in gas and oil operations. Knowledge of oil and gas equipment, basic computer skills and a valid driver’s license are required. The successful candidate will be expected to reside in the Brooks/Hanna area. Please fax resumes to 403-566-3787 before March 31, 2011. All candidates are thanked for their interest; only those considered for interviews will be contacted.

nothing new they are bringing to the table, there are no proposals, there are no platforms,” said Neal. “They don’t have much money, and there isn’t a very strong leader of the opposition groups and they have no momentum.” He adds that opinion polls put the Conservatives in the range of a majority government. In the last election, the Conservatives won 143 of the 308 seats in Parliament, about a dozen short of the majority government. “For the Conservatives, this is their opportunity,” said Neal. Curtis Phillips teaches high school social studies at St. Anthony’s School. As part of current events, the topic of the election comes up, and some of his students are engaged. “Some of my students, especially the ones who are turning 18 seem to be enthusiastic about voting,” said Phillips. He agrees that this latest budget is an election budget. “If the government goes down, they will be able to look at the social programs and social spending, and say, ‘The NDP wanted this and we tried to accommodate them, we tried to work with them, and they voted it down,’” said Phillips. “It is electioneering on all sides at this point.” His hope for his students during an election years is that they pay attention to the discourse, but focus on the process and the issues.

“My big concern is hyper partisanship,” he said. “In the past you might say ‘This person loves the country, they just have a diﬀerent view than I have because it is a battle of ideas.’ Now it has become a battle of personalities, where this person is no longer a person I disagree with, but a person who hates the country and we want to do everything to destroy his philosophy, and it goes both ways, left and right.” Neal said Canadian political systems is a part of the Grade 9 curriculum, although he expects most teachers would discuss something as impending as a federal election. “Some (students) are very interested, there is always that group of students, where it is a passion of theirs and they are very knowledgeable,” said Neal, adding it doesn’t hold the attention of many others. “It is still a distant removed idea for a lot of students to concentrate on these things.” Phillips said for students to experience an election at this age might help them develop their own political ideals. “Some have a very strong sense in what they believe. They have a ﬁrm grasp, and when they get to the upper high school age, they are very strong on that regard,” said Phillips. “In Grade 10, they are still not very certain, they are still learning about politics and their own ideological beliefs and that is an ongoing process.”

Those wishing to play in the Drumheller Mixed Slowpitch League this season must have a team member present at this year’s annual meeting to register. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 5 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. This year they have set the maximum number of teams at 24, due to diamond availability. It will be ﬁrst come ﬁrst serve. Slowpitch is a tradition in the valley, but it has grown leaps and bounds over the last four years. With 24 teams, there are in the area of 250 ball players participating each spring. Games go from Tuesday to Friday, beginning at the end of April, depending on weather. The name of the game is fun. The goal is to enjoy a evening a week out in the fresh air with friends, and to hopefully hit a few balls. Rick and Anita Lobe have been organizing the league for the past few season, but with more time commitments, they are not able to continue with the responsibility. They want to thank Brandi Howard, who has helped as treasurer for the last four seasons. They are hoping someone at

the annual meeting will be able to pick up the torch and run with it. Rick explains that this season it should be cruise control for whoever decides to take it on.

Here is a recipe to enjoy one pan now and one to freeze. Each serves about 6 people. Of course you could half the recipe and make just one casserole. This is a good use for extra stuffing when you have made too much. I think the farmers would enjoy this meal out in the field during seeding or harvest seasons. A handy one to have on hand in the freezer!

Divide chicken between 2 greased 9 x 13 pans. Sprinkle with pepper. Layer ham, then Swiss, then 1 cup cheddar, the soup mixture, and stuffing. Top with remaining cheddar. Cover and freeze one for up to 3 months. Cover and bake the other at 350 for ½ hour. Uncover and bake 10 - 15 minutes longer. To cook the frozen casserole, thaw in fridge overnight. Remove from fridge ½ hour before baking. Cover and bake 350 for 45 minutes and then 10-15 minutes more uncovered. To serve this as a meal, I would think about 8 - 10 people using large bowls. You could also add another litre of milk to make it go further and not be so thick. I liked having it so you could almost eat it with a fork!

Colleen giving to Japan at album launch party Local soft-country rock artist Colleen will be releasing her debut album Looking at Love on March 25 in Drumheller, and is taking advantage of the opportunity to contribute to eﬀorts in Japan. “There are always needs greater than our own, and it needs to be done now. I might as well use this opportunity to make a difference and do what I can do to help,” says Colleen about the 25 per cent donations from album sales to the Canadian Red Cross. “I write and sing and perform for a cause, and I feel that I’ve been given so much in my life. If I can use my music as a tool, that’s just what I love doing.” Colleen Doey says the reception to her album has been strong. “It’s coming, it’s just all a part of getting known and getting it out there. I’ve been getting many testimonials and it’s been really positive and encouraging,” she says. “It’s inspired people to do what they’ve been putting oﬀ doing.”

“To pass on inspiration to do what you love to do, no matter how old you are, is something I want to do.” Colleen, now 42, says releasing an album typically at a time when musicians are winding down their career has been a high hurdle but well worth the jump. “That’s what held me back for so long. I feel like it’s just the right time for my love, it’s full of love and appreciation of each other and the world around you. I think it’s as good a time as any

to remind people of that.” The release party for her debut album was a long time coming, with the CD ﬁnished in December of last year. The show will start at 7:00 p.m. at the Rising Star Grill. Donations for the Red Cross are welcome, and following her show the bar’s usual karaoke night will collect money for songs to also go to the aid organization. Colleen describes the album as “a little bit of Jewel Jesse Farell and Olivia Newton-John.”

RCMP compiling information on ski passes Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The Drumheller RCMP are taking information from residents who are concerned about getting a refund from Ski the Badlands. A pledge was made to those who purchased ski passes for the Drumheller Ski Hill for the 20102011 season, that they would be receiving a refund. This came after an oﬀer of a short-term lease from the Town of Drumheller was rejected by the Drumheller Valley Ski Club (1997) and Badlands Ski Hill. A press release posted on Ski Drumheller said they have “immediately put in works necessary legalities for this process and are pleased to provide refunds in full

to our pass holders.” inSide Drumheller reported in its March 11 edition that many residents were still waiting to hear the details of the refund. Constable Andrew Grainger said RCMP have been monitoring the situation. “I have been basically collecting information, getting receipts and cheques they have paid, and we are going to compile it,” said Grainger. He said the police are not formally investigating the issue. They have received information from about six residents. Grainger said residents who are concerned can pass their information along to the RCMP, by calling 403-823-7590.

Kevin Sorenson M.P. Crowfoot Constituency

Budget 2011: The Next Phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan Leading the Way on Jobs and Growth OTTAWA – Member of Parliament Kevin Sorenson says that the Conservative government’s 2011 Budget, the Next Phase of Canada’s Economic Action Plan, will build on the efforts the previous two federal budgets continuing to protect and create jobs; help hard-working Canadians and their families; grow the economy; reduce the federal budgetary deficit and eliminate it. “Our budget delivers more for seniors, more for families with children, and more for our communities,” Sorenson says. “Budget 2011 provides an enhanced Guaranteed Income Supplement for many seniors in our riding: up to $600 for single seniors and $840 for couples. We want to forgive up to $40,000 of the loans new family physicians have and up to $20,000 for nurses to attract them to our rural communities. Families trying to provide their children with arts education (music and dance lessons for example) will have a tax credit. Caregivers taking care of loved ones will get a tax break for their efforts. We have a new $3,000 volunteer firefighters’ tax credit; and the waiving of license renewal fees for hunt-

ers and firearm owners. Again, we are improving federal student loans program for Alberta students; and increasing support for research and technology, including $50 million in funds for agriculture innovation. These are important initiatives that will serve us in rural Alberta,” MP Sorenson points out. “Canada is emerging from the global economic recession in a better position than virtually all other countries. We have the lowest budgetary deficit. Canadians understand that we spent that money to save and create jobs during the recession. Budget 2011 maps out the efforts we will take to continue to pay down debt and yet continue spending on programs and services Canadians value highly. It is a good balance, in my view. It is a low-tax plan to create jobs and growth,” Sorenson maintains. “We continue to build on the work we have been completing with provinces, municipalities, local groups and communities. As the government, we have widely consulted Canadians to deliver what we need to ensure a prosperous future.” For more information: call Kevin Sorenson, MP at 613-9474608.

Canada Day Parade clears insurance hurdles Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller Concerns over insurance for the Canada Day Parade have been alleviated, says Chamber of Commerce manager Kathy Little. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Santa Claus Parade in Drumheller was cancelled. Then Chamber manager Heather Bitz told The Mail this was due to changes in the Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insur-

ance policy and some requirements in regards to liability insurance. Little says these concerns have been ironed out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The agent that we purchase insurance from to spoke to the company that underwrites the insurance and explained to them it is small parade and we have been doing it for quite a long

time,â&#x20AC;? said Little. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are huge insurance companies and they are not always abreast of small communities and small communities always hold small parades. Even the Santa Claus Parade will also go ahead.â&#x20AC;? She says other events such as the Calgary Stampede Parade requires that participants in the

parade carry insurance. This will not be the case in Drumheller. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parade theme is focused around the centennial of coal mining in the valley. It has been set for quite some time. The Chamber will be making available registration forms. It wishes those who are interested in participating register in advance. It allows organizers to plan logistics on the day of the event. Registration forms can be obtained from Chamber assistant Roxanne Clarke at the Chamber

oďŹ&#x192;ce. Those interested in participating can call the Chamber oďŹ&#x192;ce at 403-823-8100 or e-mail info@drumhellerchamber.com. They are planning to make registration forms available online shortly. The Town of Drumheller is also gearing up for Canada Day, and is looking for local entertainment. It has put a call out for local entertainers or band members who are interested in performing to contact kdesilets@dinosaurvalley.com or call 403-823-6300.

Emily Albright, 6, cut her waist-length brown hair and donated it to Angel Hair last week, after getting

the idea from a Greentree School assembly. She says she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until it grows back to do it again. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie

Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller Emily Albright didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think twice before shedding her waist long hair for cancer, an idea she spearheaded on her own. Emily, 6, says it is "kind of weird" someone else will be wearing her brown hair after it was donated to the Chop Shop, who will send it to Angel Hair, an organization that makes wigs for children who lost theirs from cancer treatments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it was good to give back too, she was born with an illness and people donated special, expensive equipment to treat it,â&#x20AC;? says mother Nanci Albright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like it because I can brush it for myself now,â&#x20AC;? smiles Emily. Emily says she got the idea to donate her locks

from an assembly at school. Nanci says she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anyone in the family who suďŹ&#x20AC;ered from cancer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bubbly personality and very giving. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nitely mature past her years for being only six,â&#x20AC;? said Nanci, who added Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whim was surprising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she was younger, she had a bad habit of chewing her hair. I told her if she kept doing it Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d cut it short so she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t chew it. She was always scared Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell the dresser to cut it oďŹ&#x20AC; whenever we went to for a trim.â&#x20AC;? Nanci says Emilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy with her newfound short hair, and laughs when people mention the change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She says she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for it to grow back so she can do it again.â&#x20AC;?

ANNIVERSARY

Now ‘til March 31

Many valley minor hockey clubs are still finishing up their post-season play. The Bertram Drilling midget Raptors lost their second game in the league finals against Chestermere Tuesday night, 4-3 at the Memorial Arena. “The boys have done well in their play-offs, this is their first loss,” said manager Tony Lacher, adding the Raptors swept both Rocky Mountain House and Lethbridge. “Whoever comes out on Monday night is where the banner will go,” Lacher said of the final game of the Chestermere series. The exact time and date has yet to be decided, he said. The Bertram Drilling Raptors have been hungry, despite having a short bench of only 11 players. “We’ve kind of survived the year that way. (Tuesday) night was the first time we took affiliates, and it gave us a little

bit more depth.” Lacher said the coaching staff is trying to keep the team’s confidence up heading into this final. “Just to stay out of the box, they know they’re contenders. We have some solid goaltending and guys who can put the puck in the net. It’s about getting lots of shots, because some of them are going to go in. The Raptors were 1-1 going into the second, but fell to a 3-point deficit before they clawed back to make it 4-3 at the end. The Boston Pizza bantam Raptors are finished after losing to Cochrane, 8-1 in Cochrane and 5-1 in Drumheller two weekends ago. “It was a really good season, we started out with our first seven games with three losses and three ties. We finished up our season with a lot more wins and made it into the play-offs. Cochrane had a really good team,” said coach Bob Thomson. “We weren’t evenly matched, they were a really strong team.” Thomson said it felt as if

they were playing with a short bench all year, with players out with sickness and injury for much of the regular season. He says only three kids are moving up to midget next year, giving hope for a strong season next year. “We’re going to have a good nucleus going forward, and there will be some good players coming up from peewee. We should be good across the board next year.” The Raptors will be competing in the Value Drug Mart tournament on March 31 to April 3 in Calgary. The Encana atom Raptors finished their season, 4-3 and 7-6 against Strathmore. “They were really close games, the kids did really well. For the youngest team in the league to finish first in the regular season, and lose in finals – they gained a lot of experience this year,” said coach Paul Richard. “Can’t complain, it’s all good and the kids are looking forward to the Tournament of Champions in Lacombe.” Drumheller will have a really strong team next year,

with nine players returning to atom, Richard says. The Lacombe tournament takes place the weekend of March 26. The CNRL bantams lost their banner game on March 21, 5-3 against Cochrane after pushing into game three. The Raptors beat them 6-4 in game two, and game one saw Cochrane beat them 4-3 in double overtime. “It was a good season, definitely making provincials and making first place by the end of the season is what the kids looked forward to. It was really close,” says head coach Dan Belliveau. “The games were very back and forth.” The CNRL bantams finished first in their round robin pool at tournament last weekend, but lost in the semi-final game, 8-4 against Vermillion. “All of our games that we won, we won by one or two goals. The players are a little down on themselves after finishing with a tough loss last night, but they’re happy with the season,” Belliveau said.
