Town seeks direction on public transit Administration fine tunes survey for residents Michael James | InSide
Drumheller
At the Committee of the Whole meeting on October 31, 2011, members of council discussed the feasibility of public transit in the Drumheller Valley. The closest notion of public transportation in the Valley at the moment is the Valley Bus, a non profit society mandated to help transport the elderly and disabled. The bus, rather than having routes, is dispatched directly to users who request transportation. Plans to implement public transit in Drumheller have remained in park for some time. However, the Town of Drumheller is shifting gears. Town administration is in the process of fine tuning a survey to be sent out to Valley residents to determine if and what services residents would desire from any public transit service. “Whether there are enough people who would use it, that’s what we don’t know,” said Councillor Tom Zariski. “We encourage everyone to take part in the survey.” The initial plan would be to have two routes. One would run between Nacmine and downtown Drumheller. The second would travel between Midland and downtown. There would be a number of stops along the way for each route. However, other routes would be considered. “Depending on the survey results we may have a route to East Coulee,” said Zariski. “We need input from residents to give us direction.” The aim of the public transit
service would be to accommodate people who are limited in their ability to travel by not having access to a vehicle. At this point, the proposed service would not be a replacement for a daily commute.

“Whether there are enough people who would use it, that's what we don't know. We encourage everyone to take part in the survey” Tom Zariski
“The transportation routes we have planned are probably not conducive for people going to and from work,” said Zariski. “It’s more for people who want to go downtown occasionally and if they don’t have a vehicle
they can plan their schedule around the routes.” Another aspect of the public transit service would be to accommodate tourists. Routes could be schedule between hotels and tourist attractions. Getting tourists on board could alleviate parking problems during the busy weekends and help subsidize the service. There would be a few job opportunities, depending on how widespread public transit becomes. Drivers, mechanics, cleaners, and more would be needed to keep things operating smoothly. Fees for bus use have not been discussed as of yet, but one thing is certain, taxpayers would foot some of the bill. During the Committee of the Whole meeting the ques-
The Valley Bus has been providing seniors and those with disabilities transportation for years. To complement the service, Town Council is considering adding public transportation to the Valley. Sur-
tion was raised as to whether the proposed service would be run by the Valley Bus Society. Council members felt that the Town should lead efforts. “The Valley Bus Society has been effective for many years,” said Zariski. “But, it’s mandate is to transport seniors and disabled persons.” Were public transportation given the green light, it would not replace the Valley Bus. The Valley Bus service would continue to run. As of this time, public transit in Drumheller is only in the research phase and the plans mentioned herein are subject to the desires of residents. The Town of Drumheller will soon be sending out surveys and any input could shape the route public transit takes in the future.
veys will be sent out to residents soon and all are encouraged to provide feedback. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Man receives conditional sentence for drug possession Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
A man who was discovered in the possession of about 15 pounds of marijuana was placed under a conditional sentence order of 16 months. Steven Michael Brausse appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Friday, October 28 to be sentenced on the charge of possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking. The court heard how, on October 20, 2010 police made a traffic stop on
Highway 9 east of Morrin corner after the officer noticed the licence plate on the vehicle stopped was not well illuminated. When the officer exited his own vehicle, he noted the strong smell of fresh marijuana emanating out of the stopped SUV. The search of the vehicle revealed a large box with about 15 pounds of marijuana, of which, about sixpounds was bud while the rest was stems and leaves. There were also items in the SUV associated with a

A serving federal prisoner accused of overpowering a female corrections officer and dropping her off by the side of a rural road east of Bowden while returning from a day trip, was in Red Deer provincial court on Wednesday, November 2. Donald Junior Fowler, 32, made a brief appearance on closed-circuit television from the Red Deer Remand Centre. Duty counsel Mollie McVey told Judge David Plosz that Fowler had applied for legal aid and requested a two-week adjournment. Fowler was being escorted back to Drumheller Institution by the corrections officer after the man convicted of second-degree murder was given a day pass to visit his family in Buck Lake, 15 minutes southeast of Drayton Val-

Olds RCMP found Fowler about 45 minutes later sitting in the van that was parked about 15 km east of Bowden. Fowler has been charged with escaping lawful custody, assaulting a peace officer, kidnapping, forcible confinement, theft of a motor vehicle over $5,000, dangerous driving, and attempting to choke, strangle or suffocate someone. He returns to court in Red Deer on Nov. 18.

a crosswalk carries a ďŹ ne of $575 plus 4 demerit points. For pedestrians: • POINT, PAUSE, and PROCEED. Be alert at intersections and always look out for danger when crossing the street. • Always use crosswalks and pedestrian-activated signals when they are available and cross only at intersections if they are not. • Never jaywalk. Drivers are not anticipating pedestrians crossing in the middle of the street so they may not have enough time to avoid hitting you. • Make eye contact with drivers before you cross the street. • Be seen! Wear bright coloured or reective clothing especially when walking in low light or poor weather conditions. • Walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, walk o the road, facing traďŹƒc, staying as far away from the vehicles as possible. • If you are impaired, seek assistance and alternative transportation. Alcohol is often a factor in serious pedestrian collisions. On average over one-third of pedestrians in fatal crashes and 15 per cent in injury crashes had consumed alcohol prior to the collision. • Pay attention! Remove headphones; put away cell phones or other electronic devices when crossing the street. • Abide by traďŹƒc signs and signals. They are in place to protect your safety. Both drivers and pedestrians are responsible for safety. Pedestrians have the right of way in crosswalks, but pedestrians also have the responsibility to cross safely. From 2005 to 2009, on average each year in Alberta, more than 40 pedestrians were killed and over 1250 were injured.

inSideEMPLOYMENT Auto recycler receives highest national designation for environmental practices Patrick Kolafa | InSide Drumheller
Valley Auto Recyclers are leading the way in environmental stewardship and have achieved a Gold Standard Designation from the Automobile Recyclers of Canada (ARC). Chris and Lloyd Morgan have owned the business in the HyGrade Industrial Park just over a year. This was the ďŹ rst time they tried for the national designation, and achieved an over 90 per cent compliance level to earn a gold standard. “It’s a nice pat on the back to get this on our ďŹ rst try,â€? said Chris Morgan. Gold is the highest level of compliance. The designation assures the company is doing its part to responsibly operate its business by adhering to environmental standards. This aects virtually all aspects of the business. These requirements begin as a car comes into the yard. This includes disposal of chemicals, oils and other harmful compounds. ARC has standards for how a vehicle is dismantled, how parts are stored and how the land and water are protected. It takes account of inventory management and ďŹ nal disposal of vehicles. “We’ve worked hard not to be a junk yard. We are a recycling facility,â€? said Chris. For the past year, the com-
pany has been improving the site, and at times, literally digging cars out of the coulee. He said inspectors for ARC recognized their eort to do things the right way. This designation allows the company to expand its inventory and also further act as environmental leaders. In achieving the designation, Valley Auto Recyclers is now able to participate in programs such as "Cash for Clunkers" or "Retire Your Ride". These programs are designed to take older vehicles, which contribute the most to air pollution, o the road for good. These vehicles cannot be simply parted out like most acquisitions by a recycler. Vehicles that are 1995 and
younger can be completely recycled and parts can be sold. If cars are older than 1995, they cannot sell any part that would keep another car of the same vintage on the road mechanically. This means they are not able to resell power train parts for example. “It is a pretty good way to control higher polluting vehicles,� said Chris. He adds these programs help build their inventory and give them the opportunity to sell newer parts. Chris said they are looking at other endeavours such as making the site a place for residents to dispose of used oil and are exploring a battery recycling program designed to raise funds for local charities.

by C. Aiello
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year 1918. That is the time, day, month, and year that the fighting was called to an end in the war to end all wars. The actual instrument of armistice was signed at 5:00 a.m., but fighting was not ordered stopped until 11:00 a.m. The Great War, the War to End all Wars, was merely a prelude to the next great war, the Big One, World War II, but it’s World War I that gave us the poppy and Flanders Fields, two symbols we cling to, and use to memorialize all those who have served, and died in defence of their own, and those who could not defend themselves. In June 1915, a young Canadian soldier and physician, watched his friend die from mortal wounds incurred in battle. That death inspired the young medic to pen the immortal poem “In Flanders Fields.” The poppies we wear today are reminders of those mentioned in the first line of Colonel John McCrae’s poem, for in the field of Flanders the poppies did indeed grow. Anybody know where Flanders is? Don’t feel bad if you don’t, because it doesn’t exist as a country. It is located on the coast of the North Sea, and is the Belgian provinces of East and West Flanders, and part of Northern France. Flanders saw much action in World War I, and soaked up much blood. The Village of Passchendaele is about five miles northeast of the town of Ypres, where three major battles were fought. The final stages of the third battle of Ypres were named for Passchendaele. These battles were bloody, murderous, wasteful affairs, with hundreds of thousands of men killed and wounded, trying to capture or defend several hundred yards, or a mile or two at best. They showed the true wanton wastefulness of war, and especially that waged in the War to End All Wars. It was a war of attrition, the most insane of any type of war. Throw a mass of men into a meat grinder; send 10,000 troops across 100 yards of mud, shell holes, barbed wire and machine gun fire. If half of them make it, they still have to fight to hold what they’ve crossed. It was insanity, and the generals who pursued such tactics should have been shot. (Strictly my opinion). Canadians fought as well or better than any British soldier in World War I. Canada’s baptism was in the fire that was The Great War. We lost many good young men, with many more handicapped or crippled. We came through it. Understand that when I use “we”, I mean Canada, because I don’t know that I could or would want to be so tested. I remember, and thank those many men and women who had/have the courage to serve, and maybe die, in defence of their own, and those who can not defend themselves. I salute you, and wear my poppy with pride, and a little sadness. Remember Flanders.

SGT. Thomas Ricketts, VC: A Teenage Hero Thomas Ricketts, from White Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, was not yet 16 when he joined the Royal Newfoundland Regiment to fight for the Commonwealth. On Oct. 14, 1918, his platoon was being severely battered by machine-guns during an advance near Ledgehem. Armed with a Lewis gun, Pte. Ricketts and his section commander attempted to outflank the Germans’ position but ran out of ammunition. Ricketts backtracked under fire for more ammunition, then laid down such accurate cover-fire that his platoon was able to advance unharmed and capture four field guns, four machine-guns and eight prisoners. Though he served long before Newfoundland joined Canada, Ricketts is considered the youngest “Canadian” to be awarded the Victoria Cross. Ricketts also received the Distinguished Conduct Medal and the Croix du Guerre.

Due to his actions on April 22, 1915, St. Catharines, Ontario, native Lance-Cpl. Frederick Fisher became the first Canadian to be awarded the Victoria Cross during the First World War. In 1915, Fisher was a machinegunner with the 13th Battalion, Royal Canadian Highlanders Regiment, fighting near St. Julien in Belgium in the 2nd Battle of Ypres. To protect regimental artillery from being overrun, Fisher crawled to a forward position and broke up a German advance. Of the six men accompanying him, four were killed. The next day, while trying to set up a machine-gun to defend against German positions decimating his regiment ranks, Fisher was shot dead. His Victoria Cross was awarded posthumously.

after playing roles in Fiddler on the Roof, Christmas on the Air and a Bright Particular Star, hits the pavement each morning in search of work. While his love for his young bride is unquestioned, being part of a faceless, jobless mass is taking its toll on the young man with Christmas just days away especially when Jim has no means to buy a gift for his wife. Those who are touched by the simplicity of the original story would certainly be curious how a musical production could carry the fable without losing its charm. Rosebud succeeds. The avour of New York and all of its hustle is captured through a simple set and the versatility of “City Himâ€? (Joel Stephanson) and “City
Herâ€? (Laura Gillespie) who help set each scene. Mike Thiessen, through his homeless character “Soapyâ€? provides comic relief and Natalie Gauthier as a newspaper boy provides a gentle narration to keep the play moving. While much is added to the original story in the production, the emotion of the “two foolish childrenâ€? whose sacriďŹ ces pale in comparison to their love, is not lost. One of Rosebud’s continual successes is bringing in the Christmas season with its ďŹ nal production of the season. Year after year, the productions warm the heart of its audience, delivering them their ďŹ rst gift of the season.

What a beautiful fall we had!. It’s time sadly to say, to get everything put to bed for the winter cold. I always start with emptying my containers and cleaning them up so they will be ready to go for next year. Of course you always need a couple left for the winter arrangements. Clay pots especially need to be stored in a dry place over the winter and cleaned out soon enough to allow the moisture in the clay to evaporate. They are less likely to crack this way. Fountains, birds baths, anything to do with water needs to be scrubbed and stored in a dry area and if it’s possible put them somewhere like a heated garage. Some folks will put heaters in the ponds and warmers in the bird baths for the winter so all the birds are kept drinking and that’s excellent if you have the ability to do that. For my vegetable garden I simply take up all the old plant growth, corn stalks, etc. and throw them out or recycle what you can. Carrot tops, any of the finer stuff I will just work into the ground – this helps the soil out with a little extra organic material. I always like to open up the soil and air things out for the winter months, and then of course again in the spring before planting. In the flower gardens, of course the annuals get recycled, but a lot of the perennial material I will not compost to try and prevent mildew, fungus, aphid eggs, diseases of any kind from getting worse and spreading. I like to bury this stuff because there are some things that spread through the air when you burn them. I think the trees have more diseases than the perennials that travel this way, but I don’t like taking the chance. If the perennials are in a really exposed area then I may leave the old growth there to help insulate the plant for
the winter but if it’s really well established then I would clean it up. If it needs extra protection it’s some times better to mound up some mulch or peat moss. Most of our shrubs and a lot of our trees can be left until early spring to prune but if there are signs of disease and the shrubs have gone into dormancy for the winter I would tie a big ribbon on it so I am reminded in the early part of spring to prune it out. Black Rot, is one of the worst to spread by spores and is the most common because it affects most of our favourite trees; Apples, Cherries, Schubert Chokecherry and especially in town things that get planted closer and closer together. This fungus is definitely one that you don’t want to burn, also disinfect pruning tools after every cut and use a lime sulfur spray to apply to the cuts. This disease is best described as cat poop on a stick. Messy! There are lots of articles on-line to read about this one and others, but this one is one of the easiest to identify. So now that you know all about the ugly stuff, be sure to get some of those fall bulbs in the ground. I like to treat tulips like an annual that has to be planted in the fall. They are so rewarding in the spring. You can also force a lot of bulbs to bloom in doors to give you an early February show of color. It’s possible to layer the bulbs at different depths in a container and have things blooming in the same container for an added touch and a little longer flowering time. Bulbs usually come with directions right on the package as far as planting goes. Now that the ‘white stuff ’ has arrived, see my next article on how to bring some colour to your yard. Jackie Friedley

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, this week you'll need to operate under the "use-it-or-lose-it" way of thinking. Don't sit on any resources, including your time. Get active and be productive.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a change of scenery could help bring a new perspective to something that has been on your mind. Get out of town for a few days and enjoy the respite.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 You may need to call in a few favors from friends, Taurus. There is a hurdle you need to get over and it likely will not get done alone. Pisces could be the person you seek.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, it's time to put that creative energy to good use. Now could be the time to spearhead a project that has your name written all over it. Start drawing up ideas.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, sometimes others simply don't understand you, and deep down inside you may just like it that way. You continue to bring an air of mystery to the week.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, there are plenty of ways to enjoy a wonderful birthday celebration, but the most ideal could simply be surrounding yourself with family and friends this week.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it will take some time, but you will finally be able to convince someone to heed your advice. It will take all of your persuasive power to do so.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Take a cue from someone close that less is more when you're caught in the middle of a squabble, Capricorn. Keep your opinions to yourself for the time being.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, avoid letting your guard down after something falls in your favor. You will need to redouble your efforts to make sure things keep going swimmingly.
www.twitter.com /drumhellermail
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it's wise to open your eyes a little wider and see where things are going right or wrong for you. Making the same choices over and over won't lead to progress.
Food for
thought
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, there may be a few bumps along the way, but this week figures to be peaceful and relaxing. Plus, your financial situation is steadily improving. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, use your cache of energy to plow through projects at work and free up some time for fun for the weekend into next week. Sponsored by

Smiles for breakfast program Drumheller Tim Hortons teamed up with Greentree School for the restaurant’s annual Smile Cookie campaign. From September 19 to 25, the restaurant sold smile cookies for $1 each, with the funds going to a local children’s charity of choice. The event was wildly successful raising $3,000. They chose to give the funds to the Greentree School breakfast program, which provides breakfast free to any student in need of a good meal to start the day. Greentree principal Chris Connell, left, accepts the donation from local Tim Hortons owner/ operator Bob Carey.

DinoArt Project aims for fundraising goal by end of year The DinoArt Committee is on its final push for the season to complete its fundraising for its next endeavour. The DinoArt Committee of the Chamber of Commerce was struck this year with the mandate to create a sustainable way to restore and maintain the approximately 35 dinosaur statues and 20 murals throughout the town. They also want to build on the image of the Dinosaur Capital Of The World by adding more dinosaurs. A herculean effort this summer by volunteers has helped the committee achieve its goals. Virtually all the dinosaurs in the downtown have been repaired and painted, and so far, the committee is very happy with the effort and the results. “It has been huge, there has been lots of time spent refurbishing them,” said committee member John Shoff. He adds that while some have been critical of some of the more artistic renditions of the dinosaurs, Shoff said it makes sense as the dinosaur statues are not an accurate representation of dinosaurs to begin with. “Why make them look like they are scientifically accurate?” said Shoff. “I like the idea that they are not being painted to be dinosaurs, they are painted to be art work.” He said the next phase for the project is to purchase new sculptures for the core. They are hoping to raise enough funds to add two new dinosaurs to the core. One site they are looking at is at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Centre Street near Gus’s Corner Restaurant. Although nothing is finalized, the committee has been in talks with Studio Y Creations to construct the sculptures. He said the company came to the valley to look at the project and have been very accommodating. Because they are in Calgary, they are available to help if there is a need for maintenance, unlike ordering a sculpture from overseas.
Shoff said the sculptures they are looking at are very durable, constructed with tubular steel right up to the fingertips. A body mould is then made over the frame and then they are finished with a very resilient epoxy resin, and then clear coated.

“I like the idea that they are not being painted to be dinosaurs, they are painted to be art work.” John Shoff
The DinoArt Committee has also received a donation of a Tyrannosaurus Rex bust, built by Studio Y, from the Royal Tyrrell Museum. They are looking at placing the bust in the area of the three-way stop at Centre Street and Railway Avenue. “We want to mount it on that building (Shoppers Drug Mart/ Café Ole) so it looks like the dinosaur is crashing through the building,” said Shoff. “On the cement pedestal in front of it there would be a few dinosaurs looking back and running away.” While they are hoping to get to work on these projects next spring, all of these efforts are dependent on its fundraising. The committee is continuing to fund -raise until the end of this year. Shoff says they are about half way to the goal they want to reach to make the projects happen, and have received generous donations from local individuals and businesses. They have designed sponsorship packages to help the effort. The committee has also benefited from a matching program from the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce which will match, up to $10,000, dollarfor-dollar, until the end of 2011. For more information on the DinoArt project or to learn more on how to get involved, contact Shoff at 403-823-2983 or email dinoarts@drumhellerchamber. com
