You can’t keep some people off the golf course. On Thursday, May 30, the annual Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament took a rain check and was rescheduled to later this summer. However, that didn’t stop Penny Dekeyser and a few others from getting a round of golf in.

OPINION
Is your municipal tax bill too high? Acting Corporate Service Director explains tax appeal process Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Over the past two weeks, Drumheller residents have received their annual tax assessments in the mail. Bill Wulff, Acting Director of Corporate Services for the Town of Drumheller, took some time explain to inSide Drumheller how municipal taxes are calculated and how residents can appeal. “We get this often. Someone will come in saying their taxes are too high. We say they can’t appeal their taxes, just their assessment. Then, they say their assessment
is fine and they don’t want the value of their house to go down,” said Wulff. The only avenue of appeal, for residents who disagree with their taxes, is the market value assessment of their property. To determine property taxes, the market value assessment of the property is multiplied by the tax rate, education tax rate, and Senior Foundation requisition rate. Tax rates were set earlier this year at 0.0072268 for residential and 0.0115074 for nonresidential. The education tax rate is 0.0027096 for residential and 0.0038132 for nonresidential. The Seniors Foundation requisition is 0.0003953. For example, a property assessment of $170,000 would result in property taxes of $1,228.56. How-
ever, with the addition of the Education Tax and Seniors Foundation requisition, the total property taxes become $1,756.39. For every $1,000 removed from the market value during an appeal, property taxes are reduced by $10.33 for residential and $15.72 for nonresidential. During the appeal process, an assessor is brought in to do a thorough inspection of the property to determine it’s market value. Any major construction on the property will affect the market value and, by extension, property taxes. “If you have an appeal, the assessor will be visiting your property,” said Wulff. “The assessment is based on the market value of your property, so if you can sell that new garage for $15,000, your as-
sessment will go up that much.” Normally, the market value for a property is determined using a mass appraisal process. Assessors examine property sales in a neighbourhood, then apply the average per cent increase or decrease to the remaining properties. “The assessment is really mass appraisal. Instead of having someone come into your house and look at absolutely everything, what happens is, they look at the sales in that neighbourhood. So, if all the houses went up by an average of six per cent, that is applied to every other house in that neighbourhood,” said Wulff. “That’s why there
is an appeal process in place.” Also, any major construction is considered when determining market value. Assessors visit properties that are granted development permits. Overall, residential taxes saw an average increase of $96, with some properties seeing less and others more. The increase is largely due to increases in both the Education Tax and Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation requisition, neither of which the Town of Drumheller has any control over. Residents wishing to appeal their assessment may do so at Town Hall by filling out an appeal form.

Tyrrell commercial wins Alberta award Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Royal Tyrrell Museum’s most recent commercial won a provincial award last weekend in Calgary. White Iron Productions of Calgary produced the commercial, entitled They Never Left. It features giant dinosaurs stomping through an urban setting and a series of images from the Royal Tyrrell Museum gallery. Drama students from St. Anthony’s School participated in the ďŹ lming. The commercial won the Best Commercial under, $50,000 at the Alberta Film and Television Awards (Rosie Awards). John Cameron produced the commercial, and the company submitted the
entry for the award. Leanna Mohan of the Royal Tyrrell Museum said they have worked with the company in the past on other projects. “White Iron donated a lot of time and resources to make the commercial happen just because they love the Museum and love dinosaurs,â€? said Mohan. The commercial was shot last winter, and completed by Christmas. It was ďŹ rst aired in February.

Spring Clean-Up future debated Problems force reevaluation of program Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The annual Spring Clean-Up, conducted by the Town of Drumheller, may undergo some changes after a host of issues plagued this year’s garbage collection. Tammi Nygaard, manager of Drumheller and District Solid Waste Management, was disappointed with how the cleanup went this year. “We’ve got some problems. We need to sit down, debrief, and come up with some better suggestions for next year,” said Nygaard. “We had a lot of issues this year. In the last couple years, we were doing quite well getting the message out that things needed to be separated and sorted. People were doing a good job of that.” The biggest problem
faced by crews was residents were not sorting the items they put out. “ T h e problems we experience this year had to do with sorting and separating. The public were just piling things up into huge piles, so Town staff collected 25 per cent more items during when the this year’s Spring Cleanup. However, the Town is guys got taking a closer look at the program after man hours there, it was a huge Nygaard felt it was good mess.

Now, the future of the cleanup is up for debate. The Town will work on modifying the program to make next year smoother and reduce costs. At the Monday, May 27, meeting of the Committee of the Whole, Drumheller Town Council expressed a desire to keep the cleanup running, but felt crews could be more selective in what they take. “Maybe it’s a matter of complacency. Continued complacency regarding sorting could result in the program getting scaled back to the point where it’s not the same as what people want,” said Councillor Jay Garbutt. “I think all would be in agreement to do away with anything that would be considered an abuse of the system, in particular setting limits on what the amounts and be and empowering (crews) to not pick up what they think is abuse.” Overall, the amount of items collected was up 25 per cent over last year.

Facebook comments show need for year round service Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Tourism season is Drumheller is picking up steam, but area businesses and attractions are learning there is really no offseason. The Royal Tyrrell Museum shared with inSide Drumheller the comments it received from a Scottish visitor. These were posted on its Facebook page and describe an international visitor’s experience in the valley. In fact, the commenter said they were ‘blown away’ by what the Tyrrell has achieved. “It’s wonderful to see a collection of international significance based in the place where it all started, rather than some impersonal urban setting. Sure, the footfall may be a lot less, but life isn’t all about statistics and visitor numbers, it is about vision and convic-
tion,” stated the visitor. The commenter also had positive reviews of their time away from the Museum. “And by the way, you have a great little Vietnamese restaurant and some friendly locals, which add to the experience and sense of place,” states the comment Leanna Mohan of the Royal Tyrrell Museum said she expects it will be a busy summer season for the valley with interest from journalists and the film industry. The packed May long weekend also points to a potentially robust summer. These comments however serve to remind the valley that visitors are coming from all over the world and at all times of the year. Mike Todor, whose business has evolved from a photography studio
to a full art gallery and gift shop, says businesses need to be ready to serve residents and visitors throughout the entire year. “That is one of the challenges we really face, we are going to get people any day from anywhere,” he said. “In the last five years we have been listed as one of the best places to live in Canada, we are presently listed as one of the top three places in Canada to visit… For 10 years, I have been hearing people coming to our downtown and say how much they love it here and we sometimes don’t buy it ourselves.” The Economic Development Officer for the Town of Drumheller agrees we have to be prepared. “We are never off duty,” he said. “You have to assume that everybody need your help, have a smile on your face
and a friendly tone,” said Bob Cromwell. He said Alberta Tourism held a number of workshops this month, including one on partnering, packaging and programming, one on marketing and communications and one on media relations, to teach businesses and attractions how to prepare and promote themselves. Delivery is also important and the comment shows the power of social media. Before, a good or bad experience was shared with family and friends. Today, it could be sent to a worldwide audience, often before they even leave the establishment. “You don’t know when you are polite to someone, or rude to someone, how far that experience can be transmitted,” said Mohan.
Water main replacement schedule for Legion alley Michael James | inSide Drumheller
At the May 21 meeting of the Drumheller Town Council, approval was given to award Knibb Developments Ltd. the contract for the 2013 cast iron water line replacement program in downtown Drumheller. This year, the program will replace the aging cast iron lines in the alley behind the Drumheller Legion, north across 2nd Avenue West, and ending next to Riverside Value Drug Mart.
The alley was identified as a top priority due to numerous breaks in the line over the years. However, more work may be added should the opportunity arise. “We may extend it or add some pieces that could speed up or make the project easier next year, but until we negotiate with the contractor, we won’t know,” said Allan Kendrick, Director of Infrastructure Services for the Town of Drumheller. “We have a little bit of money left in the budget, so we’ll try
The alley behind the Drumheller Legion and north across 2nd Avenue W has been selected for this year’s cast iron water main replacement program. The Town had budgeted $620,000 for this year’s project,
to use that to our advantage.” The Town had budgeted $620,000 for this year’s program. Knibb Developments Ltd. bid just under half that, at $353,493. Knibb Developments Ltd. were contracted two years ago to replace the water mains in the alley north of 3rd Avenue, between 1st Street West and Centre Street. The project ran over its original completion estimates late into the fall. The delay was caused by unexpected lines run-
ning through the alley, such as steam lines from the Waldorf, and Knibb Developments Ltd. was also working on other projects in Town at the same time. The cast iron water main replacement program was initiated to replace downtown’s ageing water lines. “We still have other parts of the line that are getting to an age where they could start leaking,”
said Kendrick. “You’re dealing with infrastructure that’s around 40 to 50 years old. Now we are doing the best and using the best products that are available to us.” It is expected the program will continue for a couple more years, but though the annual construction disrupts traffic downtown, the benefits outweigh the costs. “Once we get through the cast iron project,
we’ll go back to an auditor survey for leak detection and then get more proactive on repairs,” said Kendrick. “We’ve increased our flow capacity downtown by increasing the size of the pipe. By upgrading it, we increase flow capacity for fire protection and we’ve achieveg a number of things doing this program.”

Celebrating
the Valley’s Seniors
Advice for aging athletes Retired professional athletes often speak about the difficult moment when they knew it was time to retire from professional competition. The transition can be easy for some but far more difficult for others. But aging amateur athletes know you need not be a professional to realize there comes a time when your body is telling you it's time to ease up. Athletes are used to pushing themselves and stretching their limits, but some limits are best not pushed. Such is the case with the limits posed by aging. While athletes don't have to completely fold up shop and hang up their cleats, tennis shoes or other athletic equipment as they approach senior citizen status, there are steps aging athletes can take to ensure they aren't pushing their bodies too far as they grow older. • Recognize your new recovery time. Veteran athletes tend to have a sixth sense about their bodies, knowing how long they need to recover from common ailments like ankle sprains, knee pain, back pain and shin splints. Despite the body's remarkable ability for recovery, it's not immune to aging, and that recovery time will increase as the body ages. Whereas a sprained ankle might once have been as good as new after a few days or rest, aging athletes must recognize that the same ankle sprain now might require more recovery time. Returning too quickly from an injury can only make things worse for aging athletes, so don't push yourself. • Take more time to warm up. As the body ages, its response time to exercise increases. This means the body needs more time to prepare itself for cardiovascular and strength training exercises. Increase your
warmup time as you age, gradually increasing the intensity of your warmup exercises until your body feels ready for more strenuous exercise. • Focus on flexibility. The more flexible you are, the more capable the body is of absorbing shock, including the shock that results from repetitive activities. But as the body ages, it becomes less flexible, which makes it less capable of successfully handling the repetitive movements common to exercise. Aging athletes should focus on their flexibility, stretching their muscles before and after a workout. In addition, activities such as yoga can work wonders on improving flexibility for young and aging athletes alike. • Don't stop strength training. Some aging athletes mistakenly feel they should stop strength training as they get older. No longer concerned about building muscle, aging athletes might feel as if they have nothing to gain by lifting weights and continuing to perform other muscle strengthening exercises. But the body gradually loses muscle mass as it ages, and that loss puts the joints under greater stress when aging athletes perform other exercises. That stress can put people at greater risk for arthritis, tendinitis and ligament sprains. While you no longer need to max out on the bench press or challenge yourself on the biceps curl, it is important to continue to make strength training a part of your fitness regimen as you age. Aging athletes need not associate aging with ceasing their athletic pursuits. But recognizing your limitations and the changes your body is going through is an important element of staying healthy as your approach older adulthood.

Tyrrell Science Camp falls victim to vandals Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Royal Tyrrell Museum is concerned about damage from off road vehicles operating in Midland Provincial Park illegally. This comes after intentional damage to the Encana Badlands Science Camp site was discovered. The park, which surrounds the museum, is well marked with signs prohibiting motor vehicles. Despite this, individuals with quads and dirt bikes often use the park as indicated by tracks throughout. Last Tuesday, following the May Long Weekend, Tyrrell Museum Science Camp personnel discovered damage to some of the infrastructure at the campsite. “The teepees are not up but we have some of the other structures up,” said Jason Martin, Operations and Finance director at the Tyrrell Museum, saying there were quad and motorbike tracks discovered at the scene of the damage. “The message we want to leave with the community is motor vehicles are not allowed in the park,” said Martin. “So if people see others riding in the park, they are not only joy riding, these quads are causing damage and should be reported to the RCMP.” The Museum has since reported the incident to RCMP. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins said people riding could be charged with trespassing under the provincial statute and could face fines. If they were discovered to have caused willful damage, they could face mischief charges. “Simply, there is no dirt biking or quad riding allowed anywhere in the valley,” said Hopkins. Grant Santo, operation manager of Alberta Parks said penalties for using an off road vehicle in a park can range from fines to vehicle seizure under The Provincial Parks Act and Regulations. He says Park Officers have a peace officer designation so they are able to charge offenders under the Criminal Code of Canada if warranted. For Martin, he hopes all can enjoy the park. “It is disappointing,
Quad users and motocrossers are reminded that riding in Midland Provincial Park could result in fines or seizure of the vehicle. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa
they are causing damage and we are having to take time to fix things that were already in place. We have a busy camp season coming, we certainly don’t want to jeopardize a service we can provide,” said Martin. He adds there is an
inherent danger of high-speed motor vehicles sharing paths with campers and pedestrians, not to mention noise and dust. “It is not to be expected or permitted,” said Martin, “it’s a park and it should be enjoyed by the whole community.”

What brought you to Drumheller? The dinosaurs. My daughter, Margaret, loves dinosaurs. My sister lives in Edmonton, so we’re visiting her and decided to swing down here. What do you like most about Drumheller so far? The scenery is amazing. I can definitely imagine dinosaurs walking around here. It’s very different from Ontario. Margaret, do you have a favourite dinosaur movie? The Land Before Time and my favourite is Ducky. If someone from here were to go to Orillia, what should they see? We have nice lakes and waterways, so it’s really good for boating. There’s the Steven Leacock House and it's the birthplace of Gordon Lightfoot. There’s also Muskoka, which is a place for rich people from the States to buy cottages. Would you come back to Drumheller? I think so. So far, what we’ve seen is nice. We’ll see what we get done today and maybe stay longer.

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.
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.

ing with clay in Medicine Hat, the Canadian Badlands offers a variety of unique, fun getaways. The Canadian Badlands website has offers many tours for you and your family. Go to www. canadianbadlands.com, for a complete listing. On the Homesteads, Bonebeds and Coalbeds Driving Tour you’ll seek out the Atlas Coal Mine, where this year you can explore the depths of a brand new mining shaft recreated in authentic 19th century style. A boondoggle of bones also awaits at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller. Thinking small? The Little Church in Drumheller will fit the bill, but perhaps not your whole family at once. Get out to Writing-onStone Provincial Park as part of the Red Coats and Coulees Driving Tour and find aboriginal petroglyphs carved into the sandstone cliffs near the Milk River. The blacksmith shop and pony barn at Echo Dale Farm in Medicine Hat are among numerous fun places to visit as a part of this tour. Every community in the Canadian Badlands has something to interest youth, be it swimming
pools, real working ferries, animal farms or train stations. Thinking big? Drumheller’s giant T-Rex is 82 feet tall. Medicine Hat’s teepee – once part of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics – stands 200 feet high. There’s the 314-foot high, mile-long High Level Bridge in Lethbridge, a 600-pound alligator at Reptile World in Drumheller, two seven-foot tall potatoes guarding Vauxhall and a 15-foot tall pinto bean in Bow Island. The Birds of Prey Centre in Coaldale features burrowing owls that fit in the palm of your hand and a flock of ducks, which are always a hit. Museums in the Canadian Badlands are built with kids in mind. There are hundreds of handson exhibits at the Galt Museum in Lethbridge, Devils Coulee Dinosaur Heritage Museum in Warner, Hanna’s Pioneer Village, and of course the Royal Tyrrell Museum just to name a few. You’ll also see a collection of other tours on the website ranging from family fishing to bird watching and more. Plan your next great adventure in the Canadian Badlands.

Today is World No Tobacco Day and organizers are taking aim at flavoured tobaccos. The World Health Organization created World No Tobacco Day in 1987 to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from tobacco. In Alberta, the theme is Flavour your Life without Tobacco. Martin McSween, of Alberta Health Services, says the goal this year is to raise awareness of flavoured tobacco. He says these are blatantly aimed in their marketing and packaging, at children. “Flavouring is a way to entice the youth and young adult market to use,” said McSween. “The more we can do to highlight that flavouring is just a mask—and it is a genius way for the tobacco industry to entice young people to start—the better.” McSween said there has been progress made. Nationally, Bill 32 was designed to crack down on marketing tobacco to youth. Despite this, there are still small “cigarillo” style flavoured cigars or sale. The legislation also excludes smoke free to-

bacco and menthol. “Cigarillos were defined by weight, so the tobacco industry reengineered their product, so they could continue to sell them individually,” said McSween. “The recommendation was to change the weight and then be sold in 10s or 20s, making them more affordable to youth.” In Alberta, Bill 206 received its first reading. This is also designed to ban flavoured tobacco. This includes additives for flavouring tobacco, menthol, shisha and spit tobacco. “We are in “chew” country, the biggest flavouring to get people started is Skoal,” said McSween. “Usually when I talk to spit tobacco users they says they started with Skoal and then graduated to Copenhagen. However, it has been delayed until the fall. “It is supported by the majority of MLAs on both sides of the house, unfortunately was adjourned and now it will languish until the fall session,” said McSween. “There has been some great inroads with both sides of the house and lots of people were talking to their MLAs about it.”
May 31 is World No Tobacco Day and in Alberta the theme is “Flavour your Life without Tobacco. submitted
To mark World No Tobacco Day in Drumheller, there will be interactive displays at the Drumheller Health Centre and clinic on May 30 and 31. Last Monday, McSween made a presentation to Drumheller Town council. Alberta Health Services offers a variety of programs and services to help Albertans quit to-
bacco use, including telephone and online support services, group cessation programs, and one-onone counselling. For more information call AlbertaQuits at 1-866-7107848(QUIT) or visit www. albertaquits.ca Locally you can call the Drumheller Addiction Office at 403-823-1660.

CINNAMON AND SUGAR PULL APART BREAD
Preparation: 1. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Set aside. 2. In a small saucepan, melt together the butter and milk on medium heat until the butter is just melted. Remove from heat and add the water and vanilla extract. Let mixture cool for 2 minutes. 3. Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula. Add the eggs and continue to stir until the eggs are incorporated into the batter. The batter will be quite sticky at this point. 4. Add the remaining 1 ½ cups of flour and continue to mix with a spatula for an additional 2 minutes, until ingredients are well combined. The dough will still be a little sticky. 5. Place the dough in a large, greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise, until doubled in size, for about 1 hour. 6. Once the dough has risen, punch the dough and knead the ¼ cup of flour into the dough. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix together the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg for the filling. 7. Butter two loaf pans. 8. Cut the dough into two equal pieces, and place one piece back into a bowl and cover with the towel. Working on a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece of dough to 12 x20 inches (30 x 50 cm.). 9. Use a brush to generously spread melted butter across the dough. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Cut the dough vertically into six equal strips. Stack the strips one on top of another and slice the stack into six equal slices. You should have six stacks of six squares. 10. Place the squares into the prepared loaf pans, so that they are standing up. Repeat with the second piece of dough. 11. Preheat oven to 350ºF. (180ºC). Cover both pans with a kitchen towel and allow to rise for 30-45 minutes, until doubled in size. 12. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the top is very golden brown. The center will be a bit soft. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before serving. When I made this bread, I substituted coconut oil for the butter and coconut sugar for the sugar in both the bread and the filling. It worked out well and gave a lovely taste to the bread.

Rain can’t stop Boogie in the Badlands
While not too much rain fell, just the threat seemed to discourage car owners from coming downtown for Boogie in the Badlands. Despite this, there were some great rides to be seen last Saturday afternoon. This was the first year for the event in downtown Drumheller, and hardcore gear heads came out, bringing a great selection of vehicles to display, everything from stock antique jalopies to rat rods to modern rides. This year, there were awards for the Best in Show for the three major American marquees as well as a Viewer’s Choice Award. The best GM vehicle went to Bill Messenger for his S-10. The best Chrysler went to Garry Mahoney for his Chrysler 300 and the best Ford went to Wally and Louis Giesbrecht for their 351 powered Rat Rod pick-up truck. The People’s Choice Award went to Dan Hawken for his bright purple custom Mercury Monarch. In all, the event raised over $1,000 for the Alberta Wish Ride. (Photo right) Dan Hawken accepts the Viewer’s Choice Award from Boogie organizer Bryan Telford and (Photo left) spectators check out Wally and Louis Giesbrecht’s little hot rod. inSide photos by Patrick Kolafa
