Now that the Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup Finals, inSide Drumheller asks, “Do you think the Canucks have what it takes to bring the Cup back to Canada?”

Casey Grayson “No, I hate them. Luongo’s a choker and Kesler's a diver.”

Waiting in line at the bottle depot with a trunk-load of empties has inspired a Drumheller man to look at an easier way to recycle bottles, while also helping the community. The idea has caught ﬁre and many in the valley have been saving their bottles for the launch of BACtoBAC next month. BACtoBAC is driven by resident Rav Lal. “When you are at the bottle depot there are always three or four people in front of you and guys with many bottles and cans, way more than I have,” said Lal. “Rather than just sitting here for 20 minutes I would just rather donate the cans and bottles and be on my way.” He suggested the idea to a few people and they were supportive, and the idea took oﬀ. The group has had bins donated by the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Corporation (ABCRC) to be placed throughout town as a convenient way for residents and visitors to dispose of their empties. “They (ABCRC) have done projects like this in many other communities so they were onboard with this when we told them what we are doing,” said Lal. BACtoBAC has 10 bins coming in, and have been approved for 50 in total. Currently they have six locations picked out for recycling boxes. “The bins we are getting are smaller ones

like our garbage cans that are in parks. Because they look the same, we can foresee that wherever the town has a garbage can, we can put a recycling bin right next to it. There may be a demand for it, you never know,” said Lal.

He adds, they have applied for a grant from Encana for some of the larger bins to be centrally located. The program not only gives residents a convenient way to dispose of bottles, but it also gives back. “I looked around for who we could partner with and who could use the funds. The four main charities in town I support are The Salvation Army, the Morgan Jayne Project, DARTS and the Humane Society,” said Lal. They came up with an agreement that would see all four groups split the funds for their projects. He said DARTS is also able to create some work placements for their clients. “They are really happy because not only do they have a new source of funding, but also job opportunities for their clients,” said Lal. “You want to help charities… and I just wanted to ﬁnd a way to give them a constant stream of revenue. A program like this could provide funding year round based on people donating,” said Lal. They are planning a program launch at 2 p.m. on Monday, June 6 at the Bottle Depot. “We’ve been telling people to save them up because we are hoping to have a mountain of bottles there that day,” laughs Lal. For more information on the project, check out the Give BACtoBAC Recycling Donation Bins Facebook group.

Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Book Columnist

My book club read Cutting for Stone and discussed it at our April meeting. Once again, everyone enjoyed the story. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t speak very highly of this book! The author, Abraham Verghese, who is a physician and professor, has a magical way with words. The story spans the life of twins who were conjoined at the skull when born, but were immediately separated by their surgeon father. They were as quickly orphaned and then adopted in the time spent in the hospital. Taking place in Ethiopia, it is a time of political turmoil during the 50’s and 60’s. Following a betrayal by his brother, the twin who is the main character flees to New York in the 70’s to begin his career as a doctor there. It is the interesting personalities and stirring events which keep the reader intrigued throughout the book. The various relationships connect the characters as the story flows along. Readers who are squeamish may find some of the medical details a little graphic for their liking. For others, it offers insight and an appreciation for Verghese’s knowledge and style. The bonds of family are explored in a mixture of experiences throughout. And, once again, we have gained a perspective of another country’s culture.

May 21, the day that a certain American preacher was pretty certain that the world as we know it was to end; the day that Jesus was to come back to claim the righteous, and leave mankind in a horrible existence. October 21 was to be the end of it all. It didn’t happen... but it could have. Bit of a wake up call, isn’t it? It’s a second chance, more like a ﬁfth or sixth, maybe even a tenth chance. Only God gives us so many warnings, so many second chances. It’s our responsibility to take advantage, because if we try, God’s patience is inﬁnite. So start today by being happy, treat yourself to that, and when other people see you happy, they’ll wonder, “What’s he so happy about?” That’s when you tell them about the second chance. 21l

Alberta. He was never persuaded of it when he sat in caucus and voted in support of it, in order to avoid any split in caucus. So, whose interest was he representing at the time, his own, those of the party, the power companies, or you, the voter/taxpayer? I think the answer is clear, but not to worry, Ted has had a revelation, and reversed his thinking on this contentious piece of legislation, and none too soon, as it’s already been voted into law. Alison Redford, former Justice Minister, seems to be another of those opposed to Bills 36 and 50. Only after helping to vote them into law does she now believe they should be more closely scrutinized, and changes made. She believes, after resigning and deciding to run for the leadership, that these bills may undermine the basic rights of Albertans. It’s only after she is out of office that she realizes what people have been saying for over a year. Perhaps “out of office” is the best place for her. Then, of course, there are Doug Griffiths, at 36, the youngest in the race, and at the other end of the spectrum, Ric Orman, at 63, I believe, the oldest candidate. Griffiths would seem to be too young to lead the party, but perhaps youth is just what’s needed. Orman has been out of politics for close to 20 years, and the last time I saw or heard from him, he was running for the leadership. Is this just a continuation? Does he think now is his time, that maybe people will think he’s new and different? To answer: Maybe; I don’t know; and I doubt it. Perhaps just for old times’ sake, Nancy Betkowski (not her married name) could be talked into hitting the hustings to gain that which she was so bitterly denied last time out. (So bitter in fact, she left the Conservatives for the Liberal Party.)

Rosebud celebrates past and future with grand opening of expanded Mercantile Patrick Kolafa The Weekender

Rosebud Theatre will be celebrating the past and the future this Friday as its summer production opens at the theatre. On May 28 Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons opens. This event coincides with the centennial celebration of the Mercantile building in Rosebud, and the grand opening of the newly expanded Mercantile - the latest addition to the historic building. The Mercantile was originally built in 1911 as a general store along the railway. Like most prairie towns, Rosebud rode the tide of economic and social forces, and the property passed through a number of owners. In the 1970s, the population of the Hamlet had fallen to less than 30. A breath of life was given to the community when in 1973 the Rosebud Camp of the Arts, a summer outreach program for Calgary youth began in the community. The building was purchased and from 1973 to 1977 it served as the base for the camps.

Around this time the camp had developed into a residential fine arts school, and the Mercantile was expanded to accommodate the school. By 1986, the Rosebud School of the Arts, a post-secondary Arts School Guild was established, with the goal of teaching practical theatre experience. As the school’s productions expanded, the Mercantile became a dining room in conjunction with the performances. For years this arrangement worked, and then in the early 2000s, the vision of the new Rosebud Mercantile expansion began to materialize. About 10 years later it became a reality. The new 10,000 square foot expansion, made in the style of a prairie bank and livery stable, includes the Encana Conference Centre, a restaurant, a new gift shop and expanded dining capacities for its theatre productions. “The Rosebud Mercantile is a dream come true,” remarks Executive Director Bob Davis. “It was a 10-year journey from visioning to planning, fundraising and then construction. But it was worth every min-

ute. We now have a multi-use facility that can help us grow, expand and create new opportunities for decades to come.” On Friday May 28, Rosebud School of

the Arts will be celebrating the centennial of the original Mercantile and formally opening the new facility.

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water. About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossilized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area. The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district. It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves

in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.

Rides Ready to Boogie

Brian Telford started with the “go,” and is working his way to making his 1970 GMC 1500 a “show” stopper too. The "go" for the truck he inherited from his father comes from the original 396 big block, which has since been bored out to 404 cubic inches, breathing through an Edelbrock 650 CFM carb and intake, pushing a mild cam. While it was painted in 1977, it is time for a fresh coat, and that is the next step in his project. His ride will be at the 15th annual Boogie in the Badlands this Saturday at Drumheller Chrysler. Locals and visitors are invited to check out some of the best whips from the valley and beyond. The event is in benefit of the Drumheller Humane Society. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Valley tourist destinations saw a dip in numbers over the May long weekend compared to last year’s ﬁgures, citing the wet, cool weather. The World’s Largest Dinosaur, Atlas Coal Mine, and Royal Tyrrell Museum all saw slight decreases in visitor numbers during the same time last year. The Tyrrell saw 10,458 visitors walk through its doors, under last year’s 11,091. The Atlas Coal Mine had 675 guests compared to 2010’s 734. The World’s Largest Di-

nosaur reported slow numbers and although didn’t have visitor numbers yet, said it was lower than last year’s. “The weekend was very slow, except for when we had nice weather on Saturday,” the visitor centre’s Debbie Schinnour reported. “It’s hard to say if this is an indication for the rest of tourist season,” said the Atlas Coal Mine’s program director Kelly Eddy. “It was gloomy out, and we are an outdoor site so maybe visitors weren’t so inclined to enter the great outdoors.”
