Council Notes
From the regular meeting of The Committee of the Whole

| inSide Drumheller
This week on top of armed robberies, a number of local businesses have been broken into. Early Monday morning the Dinosaur RV Park was broken into and a safe was taken. On early Tuesday morning, the Vietnamese Noodle House and the Drumheller Aquaplex were also broken into. Derek Dekeyser, who owns Dinosaur RV Park, said the culprit smashed a window to gain entry into the office. The culprit spent a considerable amount of time at the scene. They were able to collect video surveillance. A small safe was taken from the office and put on a portable fire pit used by the park. The person wheeled it into North Drumheller before dumping the safe. It has since been recovered. At the Aquaplex on early Wednesday morning, inSide Drumheller learned culprits gained access by smashing the front door. Once inside they overturned the computers and made a mess in the lobby. Nothing of substance was taken. That same night, culprits gained access to the Vietnamese Noodle House through the back door and made away with a till. Police continue to investigate the incidents. If anyone has information on these or any other crimes, they can call the Drumheller RCMP Detachment at 403-823-7590, or if they wish to remain anonymous an possible qualify for a cash reward, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

November 12, 2013 •••••• The meeting opened with Allan Kendrick, Director of Infrastructure Services, giving a progress report on the construction of the East Coulee Water Transmission Line. Councillor Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk asked what the timeline was for the completion of the project. CAO Ray Romanetz replied the contractor, Knibb Development Ltd., was given an extension of four or five days, but should complete the water line in January. Mr. Kendrick stated a number of residents along the line were interested in hooking up, including several in Lehigh and East Coulee. Councillor Tom Zariski asked how much fire protection would be installed on the line. Mr. Kendrick estimated there would be seven to eight hydrants along the line. Councillor Hansen-Zacharuk asked if the contractor was also responsible for the water fill station in East Coulee. CAO Romanetz replied they are and will also work on grading and landscaping the site. Councillor Tara McMillan asked how much the fill station would be used. CAO Romanetz explained the fill station was primarily for residents, but was available for area neighbours, farms, and businesses. CAO Romanetz said the fill station could be set to only operate during set hours to prevent any late night use. •••••• Bill Wulff, a contract employee of the Town of Drumheller, presented the third quarter financial statement of the Town which ended in September. So far, the Town has a $992,362 surplus. Councillor Jay Garbutt asked why the budget line for community events was nearly $80,000 over budget. Mr. Wulff suggested it could be from deficits in community events this year and wages for Town staff working at events. Byron Nagazina, Director of Corporate Services, was absent from the meeting, so CAO Romanetz promised to bring back a more detailed report on the community events budget to Council at a later meeting. •••••• The floor was then opened for roundtable discussions. Councillor HansenZacharuk asked administration for an update on the Town's reimbursement of Aquaplex pass holders, considering the Aquaplex will be shut down until mid January. Paul Salvatore, Director of Community Services, explained those with Aquaplex-only passes will be granted access to the Badlands Community Facility for the interim. Multipass holders, at the moment, are not being compensated, but administration has been speaking with multipass holders on a case-by-case basis. Councillors Zariski and Garbutt felt the Town should compensate multipass holders. Councillor Garbutt also suggested administration should look at different options to compensate multipass holders. CAO Romanetz stated administration should look at developing a consistent strategy for when the Aquaplex shuts down to determine when the cut off should be for offering compensation. Councillor Garbutt stated it has been the precedent for awhile to compensate users for any shut down over a couple days. •••••• Councillor Zariski asked what was being done with the old Town Hall. CAO Romanetz stated the building was back in the province's hands and all of the Town's property had been moved out. CAO Romanetz had met with organizations interested in using the building and gave them an overview of the costs of running the building. •••••• Councillor Sharel Shoff asked if any progress had been made of a casino for Drumheller. CAO Romanetz said administration would continue to research the possibility and bring it back to council when complete. ••••••

Town releases East Coulee fill station concept plans Michael James|
inSide Drumheller
To help visualize what the new East Coulee water fill station will look like, the Town of Drumheller has released concept drawings of the final product. At the entrance to East Coulee the concept drawings show a new loop road, with the fill station in the center. Surrounding the road, the concept drawings propose the planting of new trees and bushes. Since construction on the line began in October, several East Coulee residents have raised concerns, through Letters to the Editor in The Drumheller Mail and inSide Drumheller, over the scale and placement of the new fill station. Mayor Terry Yemen feels the project will help those in East Coulee who don’t have access to high quality water. Most of the funding for the East Coulee Transmission Line, 90 per cent, was provided by the provincial government.
“I’ve heard from quite a few people who fully support the program,” said Yemen. “The project is from the Water for Life grant, and it’ll be there for future generations. Some people need it right now, because they have terrible water, while others don’t have that problem.” One of the main concerns raised by East Coulee residents is that semi trucks driving on Highway 10 will use the station to fill up with water, thereby creating noise and traffic problems in the small community. “There is one in Rosedale. When I lived on the Wayne road, I hauled water during the big oil patch boom and never had to wait in line at the fill station, so I don’t see that happening in East Coulee,” said Yemen. Construction of the new water line and the fill station will be completed over the winter. “With the trees and bushes, I think it will look pretty good when it’s done,” said Yemen.

Residents of Drumheller are showing support for the thousands in the Philippines affected by Typhoon Haiyan. The storm hit the island nation last Friday devastating communities and killing scores of people. Drumheller’s Filipino community has mobilized and has begun collecting some of the necessities to be used in the aid effort. Heidi Galleon says she knows of a couple of families in the Drumheller community who have relatives in the affected area, so this hits close to home. Many have friends who are also affected by the typhoon, as thousands are displaced. The Drumheller Filipino community, which is about 300 strong, has begun collecting items to help in the aid effort. Gilbert Galleon owns the JC Convenience Store and Asian Food on Centre Street. His business uses a shipping company that has allowed them space to ship aid items. So far, donations have been coming in strong from within the Filipino
community as well as the wider Drumheller community. Some members are finding unique ways to raise money including auctioning items online. Heidi says they are looking at other efforts including putting collection jars in stores. They are grateful for all the support they are receiving. Heidi said some of the items needed include blankets, towels, bedsheets and non perishable food, toiletries, socks and shoes. Items
can be dropped off at JC Convenience Store. One of the most important things needed is money, because it is immediate and can be used on the ground for virtually anything. They have been receiving a number of cash donations. They are hoping to have the items packed by this Saturday, November 16 to be shipped. For more information on how to help, contact Heidi Galleon at 403-820-5956.

Michael James | inSide Drumheller Despite a wintery Sunday, the Atlas Coal Mine is ecstatic with the turnout at this year’s Haunted Coal Mine. Over the past two weekends, over 1,200 visitors braved the Big and Little Boos.
“It’s up from last year and one of our better years. I expect we raised over $10,000, which goes back to the restoration of the tipple,” said Jay Russell, with the Atlas Coal Mine. The first weekend was quite strong. Just under 400 people attended the Big Boo on the evening of October 19 and a further 300
the following afternoon. The numbers swelled even more on October 26 for the second, and final, Big Boo, with over 600 visitors. The weather for them could not have been better. “The last one was perfect. We had people coming right up to 9 o’clock,” said Russell. “I’ve already put an order in for excel-

Our book club met following a hiatus since last June. But that did not deter us from discovering and reading some wonderful books. We have an exciting line-up of great reads for the upcoming year now. We reviewed Khaled Hosseini’s latest book “And the Mountains Echoed.” Once again, this superb story-teller did not let us down. One down-fall was the numerous characters woven into the book, unlike his previous two novels. It was hard to keep track at times and one wonders if they should have been in their own story rather than take us away from the initial characters we became so attached to. The book seemed to go back and forth between them all and I often just wanted to stay with the one story. It was similar to reading a series of short stories. But in the end, everything comes together, as usual. The book begins in Afghanistan but also takes us to Europe and America. The central theme is about the

bonds of family and siblings dealing with love, loss, loyalty and betrayal. In the beginning, ten-year old Abdullah’s young sister, Pari, is sold to a wealthy family. This separation is something that wears on him throughout his life. Adullah had actually raised Pari for the three years following the death of their mother during childbirth. The new life-styles of the siblings form the foundation of the various characters that are introduced in each “short story” of the following chapters. Hosseini raises the question whether memory is a blessing or a curse. You have the memories that are near and dear to you, but also those which cause pain and and sorrow. This novel examines these thoughts throughout the interwoven stories. Having looked at some devastating struggles these characters have faced, we are reminded to be thankful at this Thanksgiving time of year and count our many blessings!

lent weather next year.” However, things turned snowy the next day for the final Little Boo and 71 people turned up.
“It was quite good, but we were disappointed in the weather on Sunday. Our numbers that day were lower than we would’ve liked, but higher than what we expected!” said Russell. “The plus side was that it gave us a lot more time to spend with each person and have some fun.” Not only did the numbers attest to the success of the Haunted Coal Mine, the comments showed the scares were as good, if not better, than last year. “When the kids go by and say ‘that was scary!’, I know we did a good job. There were other comments, saying they had a great time and it was scarier than before,” said Russell. The Haunted Coal Mine is the Atlas’ largest fundraising event. The money raised goes towards maintaining and restoring the site. “This is our single biggest fundraising activity we do each year and it couldn’t be done without the volunteers. We had around 70 volunteers and what a great, dedicated group of people to take time out of their lives and scare people,” said Russell. Even though the Haunted Coal Mine is over, organizers are already thinking ahead to next year. They are cooking up something big in light of the Haunted Mine’s tenth anniversary. “Next year will be our tenth year. We’ve been very lucky this has been so successful,” said Russell. “We have some evil cunning going to happen next year.”

DVSS Students take lead in bullying battle Students at Drumheller Valley Secondary School are doing their part to end bullying and help everyone feel welcome at school.

Students at Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) are aiming to ensure their school remains the place to be. Since the opening of school this year, the Friends of Rachel Club FOR, has been working hard to ensure students at the school feel included and stamp out bullying. “I think they’ve made a huge impact in terms of student morale, participation, and acceptance. There’s a great deal of compassion from the members of the FOR Club and some outstanding leadership,” said principal Curtis LaPierre. Students are also noticing a change in the atmosphere of the school. “There are so many problems in the world with bullying, especially on Facebook. We let students know we’re here to help. I think our school is pretty good. For example, if a junior high student is bullied,we’ll have senior high members intervene. It helps to have that older role model,” said Madison Colberg, co-president of the FOR Club. The FOR Club has held a number of events, including a welcoming for international students with a tour around the valley and a speed meeting event, where students quickly cycled through and introduced themselves to one another. “It was awesome. It was great to see everyone interacting and have a lot of smiles. People met a lot of new friends, which was really nice to see,” said Chelsey Botros, co-president of the FOR Club. They also have a number of events planned throughout the year, including outreach to other schools. “We have a whole bunch of cool things planned to bring up the spirit, energy, and excitement at the school. I’m really excited to go out and speak about why bullying is wrong and why people should help when someone is being bullied,” said Lauren Main, vice president of the club. In addition to events, FOR Club members intervene when there is bullying and will try to help students feel included. For example, if a student is alone at lunch, members will join them. “People go through bad times, but you don’t want school to be one of them. You want to know your peers support you,” said Main. “That’s what FOR Club is all about; accepting everyone.”

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Food Columnist GREY CUP SNACKING Chicken Jalapeno Poppers I have seen several variations on this flavor combination. Some recipes have the jalapenos chopped and mixed in with the cream cheese. I chose to stuff the jalapeno with the cream cheese. These are simple to make and can be assembled ahead of time. Then, at some point during the game, you can just pop these poppers into the oven to cook and, if necessary, keep warm for a half-time snack. Adjust amounts accordingly. This is to make 4 poppers. To serve as a smaller appetizer, you might cut them in 1/2 . 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 4 jalapeno peppers 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened ½ cup grated cheddar cheese 4 slices bacon Slice the ends off the peppers and clean out the seeds. Remember to wash hands immediately following and avoid rubbing eyes or having hands near your face while working with the peppers! Mix the two cheeses together and stuff into the peppers. Pound the chicken breasts to flatten a little and even out the thickness. Roll around the stuffed pepper, then wrap with a bacon slice. Secure with one or two picks. Bake at 350 for ½ hour or until chicken is cooked and bacon is browned. Another way to prepare these would be to coat the chicken in bread crumbs and fry. I recently saw “Jalapeno Popper” flavored potato chips. I think it would be interesting to coat the chicken in these crushed chips before cooking!

Raptors rack up big wins over weekend
Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Raptors were back in action this weekend. Some big wins ensured the various teams remained at or near the top of their respective divisions. This weekend was a tough one for the Bertram Drilling/Sports Room Midget Raptors, with their first two losses of the season. At the moment, the team is sitting in fourth of the Midget Tier 3 Division with 10 points. The losses were dealt by two Tier 1 teams. On Saturday, they travelled to High River and lost to Foothills 10-3. The Raptors got out of the gate early with two goals by Reagan Burrows 25 seconds in and a second five minutes later. However, Foothills came back to dominate the remainder of the game. The following day, the Midget Raptors were at home, where they lost 6-3 to the Tier 1 team out of Olds. The Raptors held on to a 3-1 lead until late in the second, then Olds took off with the rest of the game. The Boston Pizza/Western Chev Bantam Raptors also had some crossover games with other tiers. On Saturday, they faced a Tier 2 team out of Rocky Mountain House, but were defeated 7-1. The next day, the Bantams were in Cochrane, where they lost 5-3. The two were tied 1-1 after the first, but

Raptors are currently in fourth place with 10 points and only several points from first.
Cochrane managed to rack up four goals by 11:46 into the second. Dillan Witt and Ewan MacFadden gave the Raptors two more goals, but the Raptors couldn’t catch up. The losses are their first of the season. The Bantam Raptors were moved up to the Bantam Tier 2 Division after spending the first part of the season playing in Tier 3. The NGC PeeWee Raptors, which have been playing in Tier 3, are continuing to dominate their division.
Over the weekend, they edged out Brooks 4-3 and Medicine Hat 5-4 to keep top spot in their division. In Medicine Hat, Noah Salvatore ensured a Raptors win by scoring a hat-trick. The NGC Tier 6 PeeWee Raptors had a good weekend when they crushed Okotoks 9-1. The game was tied 1-1 after the first period, but the Raptors turned up the heat in the second and third. Ryan Fleming earned a hat-trick during the game and two assists. The Yavis Tier 4 Atom Raptors

earned their first win of the season with a 5-4 effort over Strathmore. The Raptors got off to a 2-0 lead early in the game, but Strathmore came back to tie things up by the end of the period. Strathmore racked up two more goals early in the second and held a 4-2 lead into the third. The Raptors bounced back and scored two quick goals early in the third to tie the game again. They then got a lucky break when Strathmore was called for a body checking penalty. Kyle Gridley then scored on the powerplay to give the Raptors the win. The Encana Tier 6 Atom Raptors suffered a tough loss over the weekend against Kneehill, but remain tied for first place in their division. The Canalta Tier 3 Novice Raptors racked up their second win on Sunday. They dominated Strathmore 9-3. Colin Black faced a flurry of 28 shots on net by Strathmore, but held firm in the Raptors net. Grayden Ewing racked up three goals and assists in the game, while Emanuel Clark contributed four of the Raptors goals. The McDonalds Tier 6 Novice Raptors remain firmly on top of their division with a 10-2 win over Carstairs on Saturday. Kerric Chambers earned five points in the game, with two goals and three assists, while Connor PriestonJohnston led in goals with five.

Junior A Saints end season on high Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The St. Anthony’s Saints junior A girls volleyball team have wrapped up a strong season. The team competed in Championship night on November 5 and ďŹ nished third in their league. This comes on the heels of a strong showing at a tournament in Three Hills. There were 16 teams at the tournament and while they were not able to place, a
two set win over DVSS was a moral victory for the team. “That was a really big deal for the girls,� said coach Kayla Davies. “Next year they will all be Grade 9, which is great, so hopefully they all learned a lot and we can do even better.� Kayla Davies Junior A Saints coach
The team also won the Sportsmanship Award at
the Christ the Redeemer Divisional tournament. It was an exciting year for the young team, which only has one grade 9 player. The rest of the squad are in Grade 8, meaning the future of the program looks bright. “Next year they will all be Grade 9, which is great, so hopefully they all learned a lot and we can do even better next year,� said Davies. “They improved tremendously, I am super proud of all of them.�

The Titans are one step closer on the road to the provincial championship after putting Canmore away in convincing fashion. It has been almost exactly a year since the Titans and Canmore have faced each other on the
