inSide STREETERS The Transportation Security Agency will do full body pat downs at U.S. airports if travellers refuse the full body image scan, inSide Drumheller asks, “What do you think about these new measures?”

Cory Miles “As long as it’s a female, I’ll enjoy it.”

Construction on the new St. Anthony’s School is at a standstill after Christ the Redeemer School Division ended its relationship with Bay-

view Constructors. Currently they are looking for a new company to finish the work. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Christ the Redeemer looking for new contractor St. Anthony's School construction halted Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Greg Molloy “At what cost of security do we infringe on the liberty of a citizen?

Gunnar Mortensen “It’s an absolute waste of time, it infringes on the privacy act.”

Construction has ground to a halt at the new St. Anthony’s School being built on North Dinosaur Trail as Christ the Redeemer School Division has fired its contractor. Vincent Van Hyfte, associate superintendent for Christ the Redeemer School Division confirmed with inSide Drumheller that Bayview Constructors of Calgary were no longer working on the school. “We are in the process of looking for a replacement,” said Van Hyfte. “The good folk at Lear Construction (which is the contractor for DCHS) were kind enough to come over and help us secure the site and get it wrapped up a little better.” Christ the Redeemer Board trustee representing Drumheller, Paul Andrew also told inSide Drumheller that they have dumped the contractor. “They weren’t performing, they were not meeting our expectations,” Andrew said. The official groundbreak-

ing for the project was on March 27 of last year, and came after years of working to secure funding and coming up with a site. At that time, Bayview Constructors of Calgary was named as the managing contractor. The construction is valued at about $13.5 million. When the contractor was named in January 2009, they expected to see the school open in September of this year. However, delays early in the project occurred as they stabilized the site mitigating historic mining remnants. The weather this season also slowed the project. Van Hyfte said it was both the quality of the work and the delays that prompted the school board to make the change. “There were quality issues, a lot of things had to be reworked, and of course it was just taking forever,” said Van Hyfte. He says they are working with a bonding company to plan the next step and have talked to other contractors they have worked with in the past. “We want to ﬁnd someone who is reputable and proven,” he said.

Gibbs Gage Architects designed the new St. Anthony’s School. Van Hyfte said they are overseeing the project to make sure the quality of the construction is maintained. “They are excellent. They are meticulous at monitoring and keeping track of everything… we are really lucky to have them,” said

Van Hyfte. Inside Drumheller reported in its October 29 edition that they are looking at the end of March before construction is completed, although no move in date has been set. Van Hyfte said they hope to announce a new contractor in the near future.

Ball tournament supports Fire Department, Morgan Jayne Project The Annual Red Eye Memorial Ball Tournament, played in memory of Chris Bolin and Morgan Jayne Makowecki was another great success raising $3,090. This total was split between the Morgan Jayne Project and the Drumheller Fire Department in Chris Bolin’s name. Above Duane Bolin, left, and Lue Martinell, right, present Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Wade a cheque, a portion of the proceeds of the tournament for equipment for the Drumheller Fire Department. photo submitted

Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on shift at Drumheller Health Centre Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Even though continuing care patient Eva canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak or understand a word other than German, her face lights up as Abby struts into her hospital room to greet her with a kiss on the face as she coos. Abby, the purebred Jack Russel terrier owned by Vicky Hardy, has been making weekly rounds at the Drumheller and District Health Centre for most of her two year life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abby has been a blessing for these patients,â&#x20AC;? says Hardy, a recreational therapy assistant who brings the dog in to work every Wednesday morning. Pets are one of the many things patients give up when they move into continuing care at the health centre, and even a chance to watch a young dog sniďŹ&#x20AC; around alleviates pain for residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps them feel more at home,â&#x20AC;? says Hardy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get all the beneďŹ ts of having a pet with none of the work.â&#x20AC;? Eva SoukeroďŹ&#x20AC; is one of Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite customers, always stopping by her room before heading home from her shift on the unit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friendly and quiet,â&#x20AC;? says SoukeroďŹ&#x20AC;, who feeds Abby treats while going for a ride in her powerchair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good dog.â&#x20AC;? This is the ďŹ rst time that a pet has been brought into the health centre

consistently, although birds, cats, and even a baby bison have been brought in to entertain residents before. Abby's mild, easygoing, and unintrusive temperament has made her the perfect pooch for the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All animals can be used for therapy, but it takes a special dog to do this weekly,â&#x20AC;? says her owner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She just loves coming in.â&#x20AC;? There has been much research into the beneďŹ ts of having small pets around patients. In 1985, University of Pennsylvania researchers reported that stroking a dog or cat can lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Another study found that elderly people caring for a pet showed improved alertness. Dog owners who have suďŹ&#x20AC;ered a heart attack have been found to be signiďŹ cantly less likely to die in the year following the heart attack compared to heart attack survivors who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own dogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people who are socially isolated or non-verbal immediately react when they see her,â&#x20AC;? Hardy says. Loneliness may be the hardest burden on the ill, and having a dog as loving as Abby can make a world of difference for those stuck inside a health centre. Says Hardy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have no expectationsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C; they just want to sit and be loved, treating everyone equally.â&#x20AC;?

Continuing care patient Eva lights up as Abby, a purebred Jack Russel terrier, makes her weekly visit to the Drumheller Health Centre on Wednesday. Pet therapy has been the subject of much research

and the results can be seen on the faces of patients at the health centre who are often forced to give up their pets when they move in for care. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plan ahead before the alcohol becomes a problem.â&#x20AC;? Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plan ahead before the alcohol becomes a problem.â&#x20AC;? Hopkins says as a general rule, less than 10 per cent of impaired drivers ever get checked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is that the ones where we get involved in

are the ones where accidents take place, and then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late.â&#x20AC;? Winter came down hard on Drumheller this year, causing many unprepared drivers to slip and slide throughout the valley.

Hopkins says to slow down, keep a safe distance between surrounding vehicles and to increase general awareness on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to compensate for other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behaviour.â&#x20AC;?

Such a Pretty Face by Cathy Lamb This month, our book club had as much fun selecting toppings and creating pizza as I am sure Cathy Lamb did in choosing her characters to create this book. We enjoyed one as much as the other. This story begins with the Schizophrenic mother throwing her two young daughters and herself off a bridge. The surviving girl tells the story which goes back and forth from the early days to her present. Obviously, there are many repercussions from this childhood experience. Going to live with

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Book Columnist

an obnoxiously controlling and domineering uncle added to her trauma. All the major characters deal with and pretty well overcome the impact he had on their lives. The writing is clever with people and events being most unusual. Some were a little too unrealistic for a few members of the club, but it is simply fiction. There are passages that, while reading, one loves to share with anyone within earshot. One of these was a canny way to compare families with tornadoes. I’ll let you read the book to take delight in some of these, rather than impair the moment. 47m

Chips with Salsa a little spicy but always welcome by C. Aiello

I may have found a solution to my cash flow problem. Didn’t know that I had a cash flow problem did you? Well its not so much a matter of cash flow, but more a matter of lack of credit. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want an increase on the limit of my credit card, it’s plenty high already. What I do need is a line of credit to cover the amount owing on the credit card. That sounds dangerous, like one of those TV shows: “Fred and Wilma have been married for three years, they have two kids, two vehicles, and a $350,000 mortgage. They like to go out at least three times a week, and each drives a vehicle to their separate jobs. Their combined monthly income is $6500, but they are spending $5000 per month, before their $2500 mortgage, leaving them $1000 in debt every month. Sound familiar? Credit cards are paid, one with another, or with their never ending line of credit. Familiar, frustrating and scary. Now for my solution. I happened to catch part of Dave Rutherford’s talk show one day last week. The topic was carbon credits and the trading thereof. It sounded complex, and I didn’t get a chance to catch it all. From what I did get, it seemed that this will be the first time in history that an intangible will be treated as a commodity, and traded for money. Sounds like a line from an old Dire Straits song, “Money for nothing.” It also sounds like the perfect deal for those with a bent toward fraud and scam. Most of the following comes from The Taxpayer, the magazine put out by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. The European Union is the world’s largest carbon trading market. Europol, the EU’s criminal intelligence agency estimates that criminals have used the Emissions Trading System to make $7.4 billion illegally in the past 18 months. Europol says that up to 90% of the trading in some European countries is bogus. Worldwide value of carbon trading in 2009 was estimated at $132 billion, but by 2020 is estimated to reach $3 trillion! Think of it, trading in something you can neither smell, taste, see or feel could surpass the $2 trillion traded in oil. A scam artist’s dream come true. Under a cap and trade system, a company will require a permit for the right to emit CO2. These permits will be offset by others who may not use CO2 or who grow trees, or store the CO2 underground. The permits will be traded on exchanges, just like common shares or other commodities. So, how does the fraud work? It’s quite simple really. CO2 has no value, it’s the permits that are given an arbitrary, government-set price. As an intangible gas, the permits can be traded without any actual, physical transportation. A Chinese factory buys a permit from Russian tree farm. What’s to stop the Russian from selling the same permit to an American factory? What about the bogus wind farm in South America selling permits to the oilsands? Neither seller or buyer has any real incentive to scrutinize the other. The sad part of this is that there is no net benefit to the environment, The emitter simply buys a permit that allows him to emit, and if he wants to emit more, he buys more permits. In the end it is no more than a cash redistribution scheme that will be paid for by the taxpayer and the consumer. It may seem as though there is no upside, but the Alberta government is right now working on a $2 billion plan to sequester CO2. Remember that word, “sequester”. It means pumping CO2 underground, storing it. The province could be the holder of billions in carbon credit permits! I’m a little fuzzy on the details, but I’m sure there’s some scam artist somewhere who is working them out.

Shoeboxes oﬀ as Operation Christmas Child closes Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Over 300 shoeboxes were loaded up by Hi-Way 9 Wednesday afternoon, ready to be shipped to Calgary and eventually to be distributed across the world by Operation Christmas Child. “We’re very pleased with the response,” said coordinator Vi Adie. “These boxes are ﬁlled with love – people put things in there that little kids are in need of.” In total, 362 shoeboxes were donated from churches, businesses, schools, and the general community. Around 500 empty shoeboxes were available. “It gives them a lift,” said coordinator Vivian Bertsch. “Some go on to become real leaders in their communities while learning about Christ. It helps with their lives.”

Even though presents can seem to be extremely insigniﬁcant to the hardships endured daily by the third world, Bertsch hopes receiving these shoeboxes will allow them to feel remembered and not forgotten. “It was very successful,” said Adie. “We appreciate the response we got from the community.” Drumheller has been participating in the Samaritan’s Purse Operation Christmas Child for over 15 years. Last year, 520 boxes were shipped out of Drumheller. This year’s collection of Over 300 shoeboxes filled with gifts for the third evening, with Operation Christmas Child in DrumCanadian ﬁlled boxes will world were loaded up and shipped to Calgary by Hi- heller being another success with the help of coorand Vi Adie. be sent to Argentina, Bo- Way 9 employee Glen Lavalee (left) on Wednesday dinators Vivian Bertsch (middle) inSide photo by Kyle Smylie livia, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela, Cote D’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea, Senegal, and Sierra Leone.

Cameras take snapshot of waterline interior Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The Town has taken a closer look at one of the main waterlines in Drumheller and is now awaiting a report from the contractor before it proceeds with its next step. Al Kendrick, director of Infrastructure Services for the Town of Drumheller, conﬁrmed with inSide Drumheller that last week a snapshot of the interior of a waterline coming from the Drumheller Water Treatment was taken. This was part of the Town’s action plan to investigate and rectify some of the issues residents had this year with water clarity. He said the contractor was able to scan a portion of the waterline and entered east of the Walmart and headed in two directions. While he was not onsite for the complete scan he said from the small bit he saw, the water line appeared to be in good shape physically. There is nothing conclusive, however, until the town receives and reviews the report which is expected in the next few days. “When we get the report we can decide how we can clean the line,” said Kendrick. `These actions are part of the Town of Drumheller’s

medium range plan to rectify the situation. This includes a visual inspection program using a camera along with other techniques to view the interior of the pipe and attempt to confirm the source of the problem, continuing with further maintenance activities including the clearwell and internal plumbing in the plant and investigating various physical and chemical pipe cleaning processes that may include pipe swabbing, air and water scouring. In the long term they plan to develop a physical pipe cleaning program to supplement the flushing, continue unidirectional flushing as needed and continue with the existing cast iron replacement program.

The St. Anthony’s senior girls volleyball team topped of their season with a trip to zones last weekend in Bassano. While their opponents outmatched them, their play earned them respect from their opponents and coach. “The bottom line is they actually played the best volleyball they played all year,” said coach Heather Colberg. “That was a huge accomplishment. It was everything I could have hoped for. I was actually in tears, I was so happy with the way they played.” The team had been playing above and beyond expectations all season. The previous week they won the consolation trophy at regionals to earn their spot at zones. To make it to the tournament itself was an accomplishment “We were literally playing with a Grade 8, Grade 9, Grade 10 and three Grade 12 players, and we were going up against

Last basketball season the St. Anthony’s Sabres senior boys made school history by making it to the provincial tournament. This year they are setting their sights just as high. While the team has shrunk in numbers, at its core is the roster that won St. Anthony’s the 1A South Central Zone Championship and a place at the provincial tournament. The team lost one player from last season who graduated, while two other key components of last year’s squad have moved away. It leaves a veteran squad as well as some additional height and talent coming up. With a shorter bench, it means it will take the

whole team to contribute to its success. This year they have added to the coaching staﬀ as Dan Patterson, who began this year teaching at St. Anthony’s ,is able to oﬀer a competitive edge. The team has a rigorous schedule ahead. This season it is able to compete in the Golden Hills League as Carbon School will not be putting a team in the court. Other teams in the league include DCHS, Acme, Prairie, Trochu and Three Hills. They have also lined up exhibition games and tournament play including the seventh annual Sabres Invitational in early January. A win at their home tourney would complete a three-peat.

squad, they are looking forward to improving even more next season. “We’re going to ﬁght to win zones next season,” said Colberg.

The St. Anthony’s Senior Sabres volleyball team competed in zones in Bassano last weekend, and while they were not successful, they played their best volleyball of the season, according to coach Heather Colberg. photo submitted
