QUOTE

“I get to go down to the lake in Sheerness and my parents hide Easter eggs for me to find.”

The Parking Task Force met with Tony Chelick, operations manager from Alberta Transportation and Jay Magus, senior project manager from iTrans, the consulting company which carried out the traﬃc ﬂow analysis, in a public meeting on Wednesday, March 24 at Town Hall.

Megan Hummel “I’m looking forward to going to my grandma’s house outside of Calgary. She has cancer so I’m going to help her clean windows and vacuum.”

Gabby Thomson “Finding Easter eggs at my auntie’s in Airdrie.”

“Alberta Transportation seems willing to negotiate with the Task Force quite well, as long as we come up with realistic alternatives." John Shoff

The meeting was set up to discuss the traffic flow problem on 3rd Avenue and the options available to reduce the problems caused by increased traffic without having to introduce parallel parking on 3rd Avenue. Task Force chair, Barry Fullerton presented an overview to the invited parties of the questions the Task Force had on the two intersections on Highway 9, the first one being the 2nd Avenue intersection, as well

as the 3rd Avenue one. iTrans explained they carried out a study directed by the town in 2006/2007. Following the study and a collision review, a consensus was reached the bridge structure would not be widened and, to accommodate pedestrians on the bridge, the left hand turn southbound should be removed. Provincial highways have certain standards that they strive for and, to control traffic in an organized way, intersection spacing on highways needs to be 400 metres. iTrans therefore looked at the intersections on 2 Avenue, 3rd Avenue and Railway Avenue W. To adhere to Alberta Transportation’s requirements, iTrans carried out a field investigation on 2nd Avenue, a public meeting and traffic counts analysis. iTrans then recommend to close the left hand turn and straight through from 2nd Avenue westbound as well as eastbound. iTrans and Alberta Transportation explained that leaving this intersection open on 2 Avenue would also create a safety issue.

“Going to look for Easter eggs! Dad gives me a BIG egg with candies inside and we have lots of fun playing.”

A discussion took place regarding the lifespan of the bridge as its replacement would change the traﬃc setup. Alberta Transportation said they would check this information and report back next week. John Shoﬀ, Task Force member and downtown merchant, told inSide Drumheller, “Alberta Transportation seems willing to negotiate with the Task Force quite well, as long as we come up with realistic alternatives.”

As traffic increases, it would get harder to turn left from 2 Avenue onto the highway and drivers would start taking more risks, causing what is called an intersection failure. The meeting then moved on to the traffic lights at 3rd Avenue. The Task Force proposed changing the lights to give vehicles turning left on to the highway an advanced turn, introducing a split phasing light for westbound traffic. iTrans and Alberta Transportation explained that there would need to be two lanes on 3rd Avenue to enable this. The Task Force suggested two lanes could be created by putting parallel parking on the north side of the road from 1st Street West to Highway 9, leaving angle parking on the other side of the road. iTrans explained this may not be possible but they will be doing a traffic flow analysis, using a synchro analysis software, on the various scenarios to include a second lane on 3rd Avenue, keeping the maximum angle and/or parallel parking possible. They will be reporting back to the Task Force for next week’s meeting. Alberta Transportation confirmed that changes could be made on 3rd Avenue as long as they did not negatively impact Highway 9.

inSideENTERTAINMENT Rosebud alumni, students collaborate on season opener Belly busting comedy We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! showcases diverse talent of Rosebud actors submitted | inSide Drumheller

In the tightly knit Hamlet of Rosebud with a professional theatre company, and the thriving Rosebud School of the Arts (RSA), it stands to reason that sooner or later professional cast and crew, alumni and students would meet and collaborate on an Opera House production. That’s precisely what is happening this spring, with Rosebud Theatre’s bellybusting comedy, We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! playing from March 12 to May 15. Artistic Director, Morris Ertman, describes the talent as “an amazing company of actors." Giovanni Mocibob, who stole our summer shows last year with his performances as Sancho in Man of La Mancha and his solo performance in Confessions of a Paperboy, returns to our stage in his comedic splendor. Other returning performers include Cari Russell, an actress with remarkable stage energy whose chameleon talents graced our stage in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and in Trying. People will remember Heather Pattengale as Mary in Mary’s Wedding last season. She is also in the cast, an apprentice actor from RSA who is a signiﬁcant talent indeed. This show has been set up to be as entertaining as possible with a company of people who, under Karl Sine’s direction, promise a wacky beginning to our 2010 season.” Other alumni who have contributed to We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! include John McIver (2008) who plays Luigi; behind the scenes, Becky Halterman (1998) designed the stage lights; Tyler Halterman (1996) is Stage Manager, Norma Roth (1995) designed the costumes and Karl Sine (2004) directs the play. Kendra Hutchinson, who was in Lettice & Lovage last spring, is another current RSA student and plays Margherita. In total, over three-quar-

ters of the We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! cast and crew are either alumni and/ or current students of the Rosebud School of the Arts. The cast and creative team have done a spectacular job producing We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay! that will have audiences in stitches. When two housewives get caught up in a neighbourhood revolution against the rising price of groceries, their husbands get swept up in their antics and chaotic situations snowball out of control. Guests are advised to reserve tickets early by calling the Rosebud Theatre Box Oﬃce toll-free at 1-800267-7553. We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!, plays Wednesdays to Saturdays and Sunday, May 9 (Mother’s Day) between March 12 and May 15 on the Opera House stage. For more information, visit www.rosebudtheatre.com.

a little spicy but always welcome

Oooh, the Army in town. Think it might be a coincidence? Think about it, the Town Council has formed a task force to review the parking issue. This is a most unnecessary exercise, in that 98 per cent of downtown retailers have voiced their opposition to the Town’s proposal of ending angle parking in favour of parallel parking, effectively reducing the number of parking spots by 60 per cent. Those who patronize the downtown retailers on a regular basis have also voiced their displeasure with the proposal, yet Council is determined to go ahead. Democracy appears to have taken a holiday in Drumheller, and the peasants are about ready to storm the Bastille. Think Council might have asked for a few troops to show a presence downtown, you know, a show of force to let the villagers know who’s in charge? (It wouldn’t be the first time this Council has asked a government department to do something against popular majority and common sense, ie. The left turn off the bridge and the narrowing of said bridge.) Let’s be honest, the only “task” this mayor and council need undertake is to listen to, and respect the will of those at whose pleasure it is they presently occupy seats at the Council table. Nobody wants to foment a rebellion, tax or otherwise, least of all me, so the sooner these guys prick up their ears, the better. “Sure that’s my age, but I don’t look it.” That’s a line from a TV ad for one of the many creams, lotions, potions and concoctions made for women who will do almost anything to avoid “it”. What is “it”? In a word, old. With the huge array of anti-aging products it is a wonder that any woman could possibly look her age. There are age reducing, age defying, wrinkle smoothing, dark-circle-underthe-eye removers, skin tightening products, and anything else you could imagine, all aimed at making women look younger. I have often wondered how those things work. They fill in the lines and smooth the wrinkles, reducing the risk of dreaded (why pick on birds?) crows feet and turkey neck, and preventing ones face from resembling an old catchers mitt. Work something like Polyfilla I would imagine. Meanwhile, on the male side of the equation, things seem to be going in reverse. At once there was 5 Minutes Just for Men, a product used to darken a man’s hair or beard, (I’ve used it myself on occasion). Today however, there is a 5 Minutes Just for Men for adding a touch of grey to the hair and beard for the “distinguished, mature, experienced look”. I don’t know how many men will buy that, I’m sure some will, but can you imagine trying to pitch a similar line to women? Women will do whatever it takes to stave off the look of aging for as long as possible, making cosmetic surgery a billion dollar industry in the process. Boob jobs, nose jobs, face jobs, butt lifts, tummy tucks, botox, liposuction and whatever else can be done to ward off an aging looking body. And damn it, they’re worth it. 12m

I’d build a Tim Horton’s. What do you like about your job? The locals I get to know and getting to hear the tourists’ stories, it always amazes me how far they travel to come here!

Pay oﬀ all my bills! What’s your favorite movie and why? I have so many favourites! But I have to say Grease, Dirty Dancing and Top Gun, they kind of shaped my childhood. What’s on your playlist? I don’t have an iPod or an MP3 player. I really like a bit of everything, from country all the way to classic and back to house! Has reading a book ever changed your life? If yes, which one?

“Anything I can do to give the desire to travel, see the world, and learn about new places is something I definitely want to do.” There are students from grade 10, 11 and 12. They began planning at the end of last year. Six adults including teachers Phillips, Velma Scott, Michelle Kostelecky and teacher assistant Bonnie Hopkins will accompany the students. Phillips is an avid traveller, most recently last summer he visited a number of countries in Eastern Europe. This is not the first time Phillips has led a student contingent on an international travel experience. Two years ago, a group went to London and Paris, and he says there is a lasting effect on the students. “When they got back, they had a better understanding of other things that occur in other parts of the world and why they happen,” said Phillips. They will see Milan, Venice, Florence, Rome and finish in Naples where they will visit Pompeii.

Motocross racing returns to valley Patrick Kolafa | Inside Drumheller

The Drumheller Off Road Vehicle Association (DORVA) has been quietly working above the skyline of Drumheller, building the sport of motocross racing, and this summer they will be hosting a Southern Alberta Series Race. New DORVA president Glenn Peake was excited to announce the race will be on the weekend of August 7 and 8 this summer. They expect 400 riders and 300 spectators for the event. The track has not hosted a sanctioned race in quite some time and, in fact, was close to closing altogether in 2004. Today DORVA is financially strong and has a rapidly growing membership with a strong contingent of riders from the area, including Calgary. As well as building a strong membership, they have also been improving the motocross facility next to the Drumheller Stampede and Ag Society. The full professional track is a work in progress and is close to being finished. An intermediate track was added a couple of seasons ago, and it has helped grow the membership, allowing less experienced riders to hit the dirt on suitable terrain. They have also built a beginner track for those starting out. DORVA now has a supervised family riding facility with a separate play

area for small children. Plans are to have the track open this April, weather permitting, from Friday until Monday, 9 am - 5 pm. Annual memberships and day passes will be available at the track during operating hours. DORVA held its annual general meeting over the winter and has a fresh executive for the upcoming season. Glenn Peake is the new president and Ryan Sisson is the vice president. Casey Christensen is the secretary/ race event chairman, Velma Peake is the treasurer and Ben Fooks is the past president. At the meeting they handed out awards. The Member of the Year was Casey Christensen, and there were two President’s Appreciation Awards given to Sisson and Fooks. There was also a special Lifetime Achievement Award given to Brad Peake for his outstanding contribution to DORVA and motocross. He served as club president from 2004 to 2009, some of the most crucial rebuilding years. The race in Drumheller is a Canadian Motorsports Racing Club (CMRC) event and it is round one of schedule A in the Southern Alberta Fall Series. The event will include a practice day on Saturday with the competition on Sunday. Peake says this format is gaining popularity as it gives riders a good chance

'The Choice Is Yours' show visits Carbon students to learn about healthy food and lifestyle choices 'The Choice Is Yours' show, which helps students learn about healthy food and lifestyle choices, visits Carbon School for a performance on Monday, March 29, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. (Carbon School, 221 Bruce Ave., Carbon, AB / PH: 403-572-3401). 'The Choice Is Yours' show is performed by the Lifestyle Journey Ambassadors, Alora Heinrichs and Andreas Iwanegbe, both from Brooks, AB. The show at Carbon School is a special presentation as it marks the ﬁnal performance presently scheduled for this school year. ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show is a high-energy, entertaining and educational 60-minute show that helps students learn about healthy food and lifestyle choices. Using a game-show atmosphere, combined with hip hop dance and rap, students will experience a multi-media presentation featuring several highly-visual demonstrations about the sugar and fat content of common foods and drinks. ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show, featuring the Lifestyle Journey Ambassadors, is part of the Lifestyle Journey resources, which are sponsored this year by EnCana Corporation in over 40 schools in western Canada, teaching over 4,000 students and their families this year. The Lifestyle Journey resources are developed by Ontario-based Ideas For People Inc. ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show has been performed live in a total of 12 schools throughout southern and central Alberta during the 2009-2010 school year. This is the third year for the Choice Is Yours show, with Alora and Andreas having performed a total of over 40 shows during the previous two years. In 2009-2010, in addition to shows in southeastern Alberta, the show has travelled to western and northern Alberta, visiting new communities and schools. For the past seven years, EnCana has worked with Ideas For People in providing healthy lifestyle school programs to a total of over 50,000 students. In addition to ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show, EnCana is also the founding sponsor of "The Lifestyle Journey program, The 20-Day Health Challenge and the “Can You Walk Across Canada?” physical activity program. Each of these programs empowers young people to make healthy nutrition and lifestyle choices and to be more physically active. The Lifestyle Journey™ Program is accredited by Alberta Education as an authorized learning resource. ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show provides students with a uniquely entertaining and informative way to learn about the perils of unhealthy food and lifestyle choices. Students will learn how much sugar is contained in common beverages such as soda pop and sports drinks. They will also

see visuals of the amount of fat in some common fast foods. The show strives to inform students about what they are really consuming when it comes to these foods. The overall goal is to help students make healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices, improve student health and help curb childhood obesity and its associated risks (such as early onset of cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes). The Lifestyle Journey resources, including ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show, were developed by two fathers in Ontario: Kevin Murdoch and Steve Coons (Ideas for People Inc.). The Lifestyle Journey Program, which was initially sponsored by EnCana in 2003-2004, is now in its seventh year of sponsorship. “Thanks to EnCana’s continued support, we have been able to provide schools and young people with a variety of value-added health resources,” says Murdoch. “We are thrilled to be able to bring ‘The Choice Is Yours’ show to Carbon; it’s not only fun for students to take part in, but they come away with a new perspective about their food and lifestyle choices,” adds Coons. By partnering with employees, community organizations and other businesses, EnCana contributes to the strength and sustainability of the communities

where it operates. EnCana common shares trade on the Toronto and New York stock exchanges under the symbol ECA.

Knelsen wins two awards as Nanooks head into National Championship tournament Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Former Drumheller Dragon Dion Knelsen won the prestigious Central Colligate Hockey Association’s (CCHA) ScholarAthlete of the Year and its Humanitarian Award. Dion is a senior at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and plays for the Nanooks NCAA Division 1 hockey team. The awards were presented at the CCHA’s annual banquet in Detroit and he was one of three Nanooks to receive an award. The Drumheller Dragons congratulated him on his success. “We’re excited for him,” says his father Rod Knelsen, who will be heading to Worchester to see Dion play in the national championship tournament. This is the first time the Nanooks have made the Division 1 tournament and will play Boston College in the first round on Saturday, March 27. Dion is the first Nanook to

be given the CCHA ScholarAthlete of the Year award. He is a business administration major and holds a 3.985 grade point average, and has made the Chancellor’s list every semester he has studied at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The 21-year-old also ﬁnished tied for eighth in the CCHA in scoring with 14 goals and 14 assists for 28 points. “Dion epitomizes what we look for in student-athletes,” said University of Alaska Fairbanks Director of Athletics, Forrest Karr in a release. “He is dedicated, works hard and makes everyone around him better. The Faculty Athletics Representatives choosing to recognize Dion demonstrates a high level of respect for UAF.” The Three Hills athlete also became the ﬁrst Nanook to be presented with the Mike and Marian Ilitch Humanitarian Award. “I am surprised and humbled to win both the CCHA Schol-

ar-Athlete of the Year Award and the Ilitch Humanitarian Award,” said Dion. “There are many other players on my

team, as well as throughout the league, who through unselﬁsh giving of their time, unwavering service to their respective communities, and commitment to on-ice excellence have proven themselves to be more

than worthy of both of these tremendous honors.” The award recognizes his contributions on contributions on and off the ice. Dion volunteers for “Nooks for Books” (a program where Nanook student-athletes read to children at local elementary schools), Sports Night at the Denali Center (an assisted living home for senior citizens in Fairbanks) and Big Brothers Big Sisters. Dion also sponsors a child in the Dominican Republic and is a co-sponsor with his teammates for another child there. He is one of seven finalists for the BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award; given annually to the college hockey player who most personifies true community spirit through the selfless commitment of leadership, effort and time. “I count myself truly blessed to be a college hockey player,” Dion added, “and am thankful

for the many people who have inspired me throughout the years to invest in the people around me. I’d especially like to thank my teammates, the Alaska Nanooks coaching staﬀ and volunteers, the Fairbanks community, as well as the CCHA for giving me an opportunity to play in the best college hockey league in the world for the past four years.” Dion is still up for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS award. CLASS stands for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, and “focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.” The winner of the CLASS award will be announced at the Frozen Four, the NCAA Men’s Ice Hockey Championship in Detroit. The semiﬁnals start on April 8.

694 and counting… Quebec man picks Drumheller on his quest to play in 700 curling arenas Patrick Kolafa | Inside Drumheller

Not many people have been up and down a curling rink as many times as Camille Villeneuve, and none have done it in as many places. Mr. Villeneuve, 82, of Chicoutimi, Quebec chose Drumheller on Wednesday afternoon as the 694th curling arena he has played at in his lifetime, and he is not done yet. Villeneuve was at the Drumheller rink playing with the mixed open league. He has a quest to play in 700 rinks, and he is approaching his goal quickly. His traveling road show has been a tradition for the last 12 years. In the fall and spring, he packs up his ﬁrst generation camperized Dodge Caravan and hits the road, adding to the number of curling arenas he has played. He brings more than just a friendly game, but a treasure-

trove of pins, plaques, and posters and a collection of photo albums with mementoes, newspaper clippings and pictures from his journeys. He began pondering his goal after he played in 100 rinks. Now he has seen most points in Canada and many in the U.S. During this spring’s trip alone, he will see 36 rinks. "I enjoy playing when the ice is good,” he laughs as he trailed a little bit on the scoreboard, referencing the heavier ice that seems to show its head as spring comes rushing in. With the coming of spring, so does the end of his annual journey. He has two more stops on his route in Wolseley and Whitewood, Saskatchewan. While it appears he holds no oﬃcial record, he is collecting the proper documentation along the way to prove his record, and intends to submit it to the Guinness Book of World Records. After Drumheller, he only has six more stops to reach 700. For that milestone, he won’t be coaxing his Voyager down the road, rather he will be ﬂying to Yellowknife for the friendly game.

Camille Villeneuve, 82, of Chicoutimi, Quebec stopped at the Drumheller Curling Club on

Wednesday, March 24. This was the 694th club he has played in his lifetime. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa
