inSide honours pledge to Badlands Community facility STREETERS Chamber Patrick Kolafa | manageable. The DrumhellinSide Drumheller
The CFL playoffs are down to four teams and with the Grey Cup approaching, inSide Drumheller asks: “Who are you cheering for?”
Jack Samuel “The Lions. I live in B.C. part of the year.”
Stan Albright “I think B.C. will take it. They have a strong team.”
The Badlands Community Facility Campaign Cabinet would like to thank the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce (DDCC) for another payment towards their pledge of $250,000 that was received on Thursday. In attendance was Jeff Hall, Campaign Cabinet Co-chair, accepting the cheque on behalf of the facility, from John Shoff, Board Vice President of the DDCC. As the end of the year approaches, now is the time to honour those pledge payments for a 2011 charitable receipt. Charitable donations give companies and individuals the ability to lower the taxes they pay for the year. Along with the benefit of lowering taxes, spreading a pledge over multiple years also gives individuals and companies a way to manage and support the Badlands Community Facility at a higher capacity. For instance, a gift of $100,000 may sound intimidating, but broken down into payments of $20,000 a year for 5 years is much more
er and District Chamber of Commerce is a great example of just that, as they have broken their pledge into payments of $50,000. “We would like to thank the Chamber of Commerce for their continuous support of the Badlands Community Facility and for their regular payments,” said Hall. “Large donations like this, whether they come as a lump sum or are spread over a number of years, help create a strong foundation for our fundraising efforts and exemplify the community’s commitment to the project.” Shoff adds, “On behalf of the Drumheller & District Chamber of Commerce I am happy to present this cheque to the Badlands Community Facility. We believe the Badlands Community Facility will open many doors for the Drumheller business community to host larger events, and bring in new business opportunities to the area.” For more information on the Badlands Community Facility, please contact Heather Little at 403-8231333 or hlittle@dinosaurvalley.com.
Routine traffic stop turns into drug bust near Trochu Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Floe Franklin “Edmonton, because they’re in the west.”
Teri Faulter “Edmonton. It’s my hometown.”
At 7:10 p.m. on October 31, 2011, Three Hills RCMP members conducted a traffic stop 6.44 km east of Trochu on Highway 585. The vehicle was stopped for an equipment violation. Upon inspecting the vehicle, RCMP members realized that the equipment violation was merely the tip of the iceberg. The investigation led to the discovery of open liquor, 237 grams of marijuana, a small amount of cocaine, and assorted drug paraphernalia. A 25 year old male from Drumheller and a 16 year old male were arrested for possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. The 25 year old male was also charged with possession of cocaine and driving a motor vehicle with no insurance. The vehicle was seized by
RCMP and the two males were released later the same evening. Both are scheduled to appear in the Drumheller Provincial Court on January 4, 2012 to answer to the charges.

FOR club spreads anti-bullying message Michael James| inSide Drumheller
QUOTE
Grade 12 students of the Friends of Rachel (FOR) club from Drumheller Valley Secondary School shared their anti-bullying message to the Grade 4, 5, and 6 classes of Greentree School. “It helps to cut down racism and bullying.” Shannon Kean
ends
FOR started in memory of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the Columbine shooting. Her diaries and notes became the basis for an organization that aims to create a safe learning environment free of bullying and inspire everyone to make a permanent and positive change in their school. The FOR club began at DVSS when Shannon Kean, a student at DVSS, attended Connections Camp near Calgary this past summer. The camp helps foster leadership in schools. “It helps to cut down
racism and bullying,” said Kean. As part of the camp, participants had to organize a leadership activity at their school. Kean chose to invite a FOR group to give a presentation to the school. Afterwards, Kean and fellow students started their own FOR club with the support of DVSS teachers Lynn Hemming and Cindy Karpa. Members of the club participate in a large number of activities, including welcoming new students, giving away gift cards to promote kindness, escorting seniors during the Remembrance Day ceremonies, and helping kids in need. The club has also given presentations to junior high students about prevention of bullying and counselling to students who are being bullied. Members of the club are not afraid to confront the bullies themselves and help them change. “We help cut down bullying and set a good example,” said Kean. The FOR club spoke with-

students from Greentree School and shared their experiences and insights into how bullying can harm a person for life, how it can be prevented, and promote kindness. Melissa MacKinnon, a DVSS student, told her moving story of her ordeal with a pack of bullies when she was in Grade 9. “There was a group of
Grade 12 girls that would pick on me,” said MacKinnon. “They would find me in the hallways just to make fun of me, push me, or say some rude names. “It was brutal,” continued MacKinnon. “It hurts to be made fun of and that happened to me everyday.” After the presentation the Greentree students were given a chance to ask the
FOR members questions about junior and senior high school, and bullying. The FOR club will continue to promote kindness amongst their peers through a random acts of kindness week. “They’re very good role models,” said Hemming. “I’m very proud of what we’re doing.”

The Boy by Betty Jane Hegerat Lori Stefanishion
inSide Drumheller We took an interesting step back in time in Book Columnist our local history for this month’s book club selection. I am sure there are many people who will recall the day back in 1959 when the big news broadcasted the Cook family murders in Stettler.
And even more to remember is where you were when another news flash came regarding Robert Cook having escaped from the Ponoka hospital.
WHAT’S YOUR BEST OPTION?
11104KA2
This true story, a horrific story, is about an entire family of 7 being murdered by the oldest sibling. Robert Raymond Cook, who was convicted on circumstantial evidence, was also the last person to be hanged in Alberta. He was merely 23 years old. The author adds more interest to the book by combining both fictional and non-fictional events with two separate stories which are related in many ways. You aren’t sure how the fictional story is going to turn out and the author is actually figuring it out herself as you read along. You are right there inside her head as she pursues her story. Just when you are caught up in the fiction, she throws you back to reality to re-live the events that took place so close to home. Local names, including Drumheller, are mentioned throughout the story.

This piece of writing was well done with the switching back and forth between the two stories. Those people old enough to have lived these events will find themselves going back to 1959 to reminisce and perhaps compare notes with others. I have enjoyed hearing my mother’s vivid memories from the night of Robert’s escape and how distressing a time it was until he was finally captured again. Betty Jane Hegerat lives in Calgary and spent many years researching as well as interviewing people involved in both the case and those who knew the Cook family.

submitted | inSide Drumheller
Sarah’s Key is a film starring Kristin Scott Thomas as a journalist obsessed by the story of a Jewish girl called Sarah, whose story of sacrifice and love during the Nazi occupation of France reveals the grim realities of French collaboration. She locks her infant brother in a cupboard to hide him from police rounding up Jews to send to French labor camps, a fate she and her parents cannot escape. But Sarah makes a daring
daylight escape and begins her walk to Paris to find and save her brother. Cut to modern day: Thomas’ focus on the riddle of Sarah’s later life takes its toll on her marriage and career. Sarah’s Key is based on the New York Times bestselling book by Tatiana de Rosnay. It will make you cry – and remember. Bring a new friend contest.

It’s quiet. Anything you would change? I would take down the wall. What are some of your top travel destinations? France, Belgium, and Australia.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three things would you bring? Oh my goodness. I would bring my guitar, my favourite book, and, hmm, a blanket. Choose one thing to eat for the rest of your life? It would be coconut. What are some of your favourite songs? Let’s see, My Favorite Things, Edelweiss, and Let Me Call You Sweetheart. What would be your theme song? Everyone else would say How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria. For me I think a hymn, In My Heart Rings a Melody. What do you like to do in your spare time?

“It’s driving me crazy!” That is the first reaction Tony Pliva has to the caterpillar growing on his upper lip. It is a common response for men in the early days of Movember. Pliva is taking on the facial hair experiment to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, and his team is behind him. Pliva is the coach of the Novice 6 Raptors, and he said if they supported him, he would register his name on the Movember website. “I was just going to do it to support the cause, and then I thought I might a well also help raise funds,” said Pliva. He said originally he was just going to casually raise funds and donate in the name of the team, but he was caught up and registered on the official site where supporters can make online donations. “I entered a few weeks late but if we can raise a few bucks it’s better than nothing,” he said. He signed up on the official Movember site on Wednesday, November 16, and within the day, he already raised $545. Movember began in Australia in 2003, and it has grown leaps and bounds. The concept is simple. Men start the month clean-shaven, and then let it all grow out for the month. By Movember 30, “Mo Bros” end up with some impressive facial hair. In 2010, almost 119,000 Canadians got on board and raised $22.3 million for men’s health. To donate to Pliva’s campaign go to ca.movember. com and search for Pliva’s name to view his mo-space.

Province ponders tougher drinking and driving laws Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
QUOTE
The Alberta government wants to crack down on drinking and driving and is planning to introduce new legislation later this fall to strengthen enforcement. One of the ideas being floated is adding sanctions for drivers who have a Blood-Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of between 0.05 and the legal level of 0.08 BAC. Other ideas include the escalation of penalties for repeat offenses and additional administrative penalties for drivers who are charged criminally. Other provinces have made similar efforts. British Columbia has made similar changes to the law, and it is said fatalities involving drunk driving have been reduced by half. “Most people get the message, but there are still those ones who believe ‘nothing is going to happen to me’ and they continue to drink and drive." Corporal Kevin Charles
“It is for government to introduce legislation that reflects the values of the community that elected it,” said Premier Alison Redford in the Calgary Herald. “And I can tell you, I’m very confident that this is something Albertans care about and want to see the government act on.” Corporal Kevin Charles of the RCMP has worked in Manitoba, where there are penalties for drivers who have a 0.05 BAC. He said it is another tool for law enforcement. “Our opinion of it is ‘hey, great.’ Ideally if anyone has been drinking you shouldn’t see them on the roads at all,” said Charles. You shouldn’t be behind the wheel of a vehicle if you've anything to drink, it is just not worth it.” While society’s opinion of drinking and driving has changed throughout the years, and more and more people make responsible decisions, Charles says there are still a few out there who take the risk. “Most people get the message, but there are still those ones who believe ‘nothing is going to happen to me’ and they continue to drink and drive. Hopefully, if these laws come into place it will be some incentive and motivation for these people to make them think twice,” he said.
There have been fears expressed by people that the new law will make a glass of wine with dinner, or a beer after work illegal. “One glass of wine is not going to put your blood alcohol content over .05,” said Charles. “It is not saying you cannot go out to dinner and have a drink. If you go out and have a few drinks, more than one or two with your friends, you need to be cognizant that your blood alcohol content could be up to that level and it could be illegal,” said Charles. “Let’s face it, if this new law only affects a certain percentage of the population and changes their mind, it shouldn’t be seen as a penalization. To me it is a way of preventing a death or a serious injury to someone.” Chris Pappas recently got out of the restaurant business in British Columbia and said the changes in that province had a chilling effect on diners. “I think it is a garbage law,” said Pappas. “That will destroy every business, and stop every person who would like to go out with his wife and have a drink, nevermind two.” Pappas recently sold his restaurant in Creston, B.C. after two years. He said when the law came in, he saw a 15 per cent drop in business. “Even a friend I had who used to come to have a drink, I never saw him anymore,” said Pappas. “I had one customer who had two Caesars at lunch time, she lost her car and was charged $3,500.” The Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Associa-
The province is pondering changes to the law regarding drinking and driving and is planning to introduce legislation this fall. inSide filephoto
tion is concerned about the changes the possible new laws could have on the industry. According to its website, the survey of licensed B.C. members indicated 88 per cent experienced an average decline in liquor sales of 21 per cent after the new laws were put in place. They encourage their Alberta members to lobby their MLAs. Any change in the law will be to provincial statute such as the Traffic Safety Act. Currently, Alberta Sheriff Highway Patrol is able to enforce the act, which includes issuing licence suspensions in cases of suspected impaired driving. They are not able to lay criminal charges. “Typically a sheriff would touch base or get in contact with an RCMP member and make arrangements for them
to do the Breathalyzer test,” said Dan Laville, communications director for the Solicitor General. He said the legislation may be introduced as soon as next week and indicates that it may give Alberta sheriffs more tools, but it is too soon to tell and many details need to be hammered out. “At this point we are working on the details of the legislation and how it will roll out. We will be looking at all APPLICATION DEADLINE DECEMBER 5TH
that stuff and seeing how we move forward,” said Laville. Corporal Charles says the biggest change will come in people’s behaviour. “Look at the distracted driving law, we are a few months into it, people are not complaining, they understand now why it has been implemented, and their behaviour has been changed. They are being safer, and I’d like to think they are getting the message,” said Charles.

Horoscopes ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, pretending to enjoy something you don't like will not make for a productive week. Speak your mind. If something is bothering you, say so. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there's nothing mysterious about a presentation that is made, which earns your interest. This could be a good opportunity for a change if you pursue it. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are trying to purchase something that has sentimental value but you can't seem to find the item you have in mind. Don't devote too much energy to the challenge. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 When someone at work makes an announcement, you are caught off-guard by the news. It will take you a few days to recover, but then it's business as usual. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 The cliche, "save for a rainy" day was never more appropriate, Leo. Your rainy day has arrived, and you may need to tap into saved funds just to get along.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, others could find you're acting irrationally, and that's not within your character. It could be time to step aside and regroup, which may paint a clearer picture of your behavior. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You have nothing on your mind except having fun, Libra, and that's OK. Since you've been working so hard lately, it's actually a good opportunity to do something to let loose.

Site selected for Rotary clock tower Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller The design is being selected, and the site is picked. Next spring, Drumheller will have a new place to set their clocks to thanks to the Drumheller Rotary Club. The club had bandied about the idea of raising a clock tower for a few years, but put it to a motion last January. The Rotary Club has committed its funds from this year’s Radio Auction to erecting a clock tower in Drumheller. They have reached an agree-
ment with the Town of Drumheller and will be placing the tower at the splash park beside Gordon Taylor Bridge. “I hope we will have it ready by the May long weekend,” said Jim Fisher of the Rotary Club. “It is the highest traffic area of Drumheller. It will be a great benefit to the thousands in the summer that use the fountain and water park.” The clock will also serve as a monument to the Rotary’s presence in the community. The clock tower will be 12 feet
tall and is being constructed by It’s About Time of Langley, B.C. The tower will have four clock faces, each with the Rotary symbol. The base is cast iron and the tower is powder coated for durability. The clock will have autonomous GPS movement meaning the clock is synchronized through GPS. “The town has just been great with us. They did the aerial shots and the photos from where the clock tower would be and what you would see,” said Fisher. The funds from the Radio Auction were earmarked for the clock. The price of the tower comes in at around $15,000. Fisher chuckles they received a “Rotary discount” as the company they ordered the clock from is owned by a Rotarian.
The Rotary Club is still finalizing its design, but the plan is to take the head of the left clock, and put it on the right stand.
Picture Jim Fisher as a clock… this is where the Rotary Club’s clock tower will be installed next spring. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

It’s a dog’s life for newest RCMP member Constable Rachel Pergunas is raising Derbie to be a police service dog. Derbie will be with her for about a year and get the basics needed to excel. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa
Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The youngest member of the RCMP arrived at her new posting in Drumheller last week, and one day hopes to take a bite out of crime. Derbie, an eight week old German Shephard, is biding her time at the detachment under the guidance of Constable Rachel Pergunas. Derbie arrived on November 10 and the cuddly bundle of fur is certainly turning heads. Constable Pergunas assures inSide Drumheller it won’t be long until she begins to look a little more intimidating. Pergunas herself is a newer arrival in Drumheller, coming most recently from Ban. This is the second dog she has helped raise and train. Her ďŹ rst dog Kailin is in service. The RCMP police dog program covers every de-
/22.

tail of the process from breeding to training to service. The Innisfail facility is the national centre for the program. Pergunas explains the dogs are tested soon after they are born and graded on their very basic natural instincts. After that, they are graded continually throughout their development. Don’t be surprised to see Derbie about town. Pergunas said in the near future she will be introducing her to schools, and will be out and about on her beat.
Derbie will be with Pergunas for about a year. During this time, Derbie will live at her home. The dog will be socialized and come along with Pergunas during her day-to-day activities to experience of different environments and interactions. The dog will receive informal obedience training. She explains unlike typical dog training, Derbie will not be trained to be subservient to her master, rather she will be raised to be the dominant dog. Her basic instinctive traits of aggression, prey drive and tracking will be encouraged in a playful way. After her time in Drumheller is through, and if Derbie meets her developmental goals, she will be fully trained into a service
dog at the Innisfail facility. Pergunas explains that all dogs are trained in apprehension and tracking. They will then be trained either in drug or explosives detection. Because the job can be demanding on the dogs, they have a working life of about 6-7 years with the RCMP. Derbie is a rarity, as most often male dogs are trained for service. Pergunas said Derbie scored high in her natural abilities. Time will tell if she makes the grade. There are not many female canine handlers either, but that is Pergunas’ goal. She said it is about a ďŹ veyear commitment to become a handler and it includes raising the pups. Pergunas is grateful the detachment is supportive of raising Derbie as all of her work with the dog is volunteer, and it does take time. To become a handler there are intense physical requirements. In some cases, the handler may have to carry or lift the dog, and have to run the same gamut as the animal in the case of tracking. “You never know if it is going to be ďŹ ve minutes or three hours,â€? she said. Don’t be surprised to see Derbie about town. Pergunas said in the near future she will be introducing her to schools, and will be out and about on her beat.
