Not slowing down There is no such thing as a slow news week in Drumheller these days as autumn sets in. Just this week, residents celebrated accomplishments, helped their neighbours, cheered on the home team and were able to splash around a bit. Clockwise from top: Dawna Losoncy takes a dip at the Aquaplex, which just reopened after its regular fall maintenance (page 12). The Pioneer Trail Centre also celebrated the completion of its renovations on Tuesday afternoon. Long time member Lil Loughlin cuts the ribbon to mark the occasion (Page 11). Gord van Kannel, Ruby Blanke, Carla Warnyca and Lt. Rachel Sheils pack away groceries graciously donated by residents to help Drive Away Hunger. FCC sponsored the event and collected groceries at Greentree Mall and at Morrin School (Page 4). Mitchell Gartner lays out the captain of the Grizzlys as the Dragons end their losing skid (Page 12).

Drumheller encouraged to work with Film Commission a budget of $20 million to give to productions through the Development Fund. However, each production can only receive up to $5 million. The goal is to ensure no one production monopolizes the fund. The cap aims to ensure there is money available for many different productions, such as documentaries, television, indie films, and more. “With that cap, we’re typically good for a $20 million to $25 million Alberta spend, we only provide incentives to the money spent in the

The Town of Drumheller is hoping to attract more Hollywood productions to the Drumheller area. In the September 21 edition of inSide Drumheller, Mayor Terry Yemen described the Town’s plans, which would culminate in lobbying the provincial government, and how Alberta needs to do more to attract productions. The Drumheller Mail had a chance to talk with Jeff Brinton, the Alberta Film Commissioner, to learn more about how Alberta entices productions to film in the province. In Drumheller’s case, or any rural community hoping to attract productions, Brinton felt the best approach was working within the system. “We have an Alberta Film Advisory Council, for the purposes of providing advice on improving our competitiveness. Engaging with Alberta Film and the Advisory
province. Typically, for Hollywood films, we’re good for around a $40 million dollar budget,” said Brinton. “I think the largest Alberta spend in recent years is around $20 million.” In the meantime, the Town of Drumheller has assigned Bob Cromwell, the Economic Development Officer, with the task of researching what incentives other provinces offer. From there, Drumheller and other municipal governments in the area hope to lobby to bring more productions, and therefore money, to the area.
area and lobby the provincial government to increase Alberta’s attractiveness. The Town is hoping more productions will provide a boost to the local economy.
Council would be a great start. I’ve had good experience with that,” said Brinton. “We could work with all rural communities to ensure they’re doing everything they can to make themselves as attractive as possible.” There has been a surge in the past two years in the number of productions being filmed in Alberta. AMC’s Hell on Wheels is filmed in southern Alberta and Heartland has been filmed in Alberta for all of its seven seasons. Brinton indicated there were also a number of productions slated to shoot in the fall and winter. In Drumheller, filming for the opening scene of The Seventh Son earlier in the summer poured a considerable amount of money into the town in only a few days. Prior to that, it had been eight years since a major production filmed in Drumheller. “There was a steep decline in production, but business seems to be picking up in the

number of productions looking at and committing to shoot in Alberta. There’s been a dramatic increase in last year and this year in particular. Prior to that the production volume was considerably low mostly due to the global economic crisis and high dollar,” said Brinton. “We’ve continued to tweak our guidelines and increase the attractiveness of our program.” Unlike other provinces, who offer tax credits to productions, Alberta has chosen to go a different route. “Through the Alberta Multimedia Development Fund, we support film production through a grant program,” said Brinton. “It’s similar to the tax credit other programs offer. This program has advantages over the tax credit option in speed of payout and ease of application.” “When we compared base funding with other provinces, Alberta has a very competitive incentive program for attracting productions.” Each year, Alberta has

Town gets ball rolling on destination marketing Michael James | inSide Drumheller The Town of Drumheller is spearheading an initiative to help bring more tourists to the area and have them stay longer. The Town is aiming to set up a meeting with tourism stakeholders in the Drumheller Valley before the end of the year. The goal would be to begin organizing a non profit destination marketing organization. “It’s a priority, let’s get it going,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “After signing that memorandum of understanding, it’s rekindled everything. I brought it [destination marketing] to administration and said it’s time to make it happen.” It is hoped a meeting would help resolve how a destination marketing organization would be orga-
nized and how revenue is generated. The main stakeholders include the Town of Drumheller, the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, Royal Tyrrell Museum, Atlas Coal Mine, Passion Play, Rosebud Theatre, Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club, hotels, and more. Many of those listed already work together as part of the Drumheller Consortium on destination marketing initiatives. “They would be the keys to moving forward on developing an organization,” said Paul Salvatore, Director of Community Services. “The Drumheller Marketing Consortium is a natural fit to move forward on a future organization.” Destination marketing, a tool utilized by other towns that rely on tourism, was
brought to the attention of Town Council in March of 2011 when they received the Tourism Master Plan. The document, prepared by Malone Given Parson Ltd., Western Management Consultants, Reach Market Planning LLC, and HDR I iTrans, included a recommendation to create an organization that would coordinate the tourism interests of the region. Since the document was released, little movement had been made to establish a destination marketing organization. Such an organization, it is hoped, would help tourists seek out more of what the area has to offer. “We have all kinds of attractions to keep people entertained and staying in Drumheller. We need to develop a unified message that helps drive the traffic

how social media has really blown it up,” said Tim Gregorash, principal of St. Anthony’s School. Students at Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) have discussed the issue as well. “There’s been discussions in various classes. This incident has brought these issues to the forefront now, but we’re always in the process of educating about these issues,” said Lynn Hemming, a teacher and counsellor at DVSS. To help combat bullying in Drumheller, the schools have implemented programs to
Canadians have been left shocked by the tragic story of Amanda Todd, a B.C. teen who was tormented by bullying for years before taking her own life. Many of the older students in the community have been asking questions about the story and the issues surrounding it. “We did have some questions brought up by our Grade 12 students. Some of the comments were wondering why something like this could happen, how people treat each other, and
teach students tolerance and understanding. “We’ve had quite a few bullying education session come though. A lot of it is about educating the kids about what bullying is,” said Dave Watson, family resource worker at Greentree School. Students have also been doing what they can to stop bullying. The Friends of Rachel (FOR) Club have taken time to address bullying with their peers and are seeing their efforts make a difference. “The FOR club has been trying to get people involved, but we’ve start-
ed to see people standing up on their own,” said Allyson Campbell, a FOR Club member. “For the past two days we’ve had someone come in to talk about sexual harassment and assault. I think a lot of students eyes were opened,” said fellow member Desiree MacFarlane. In addition to antibullying sessions, St. Anthony’s School, Grade 1 students go through the Roots of Empathy program to raise social and emotion competency and empathy. Faith also plays a critical role in how bullying is addressed. “We’ve always tried to be proactive when dealing with issues of bullying,” said Gregorash. “Our faith is ingrained in all we do, so we talk about how Jesus calls us to love one another.” Schools can and do take a more direct approach if the situation arises. “Usually what happens is it becomes a discipline issue. If it’s a bullying situation, it’s not a onetime thing. It’s been happening for awhile. We try to look at the history and why it’s happening. We try to make sure both children get the support
they need,” said Watson. “We have a zero-tolerance policy in regards to bullying, but not the people. Our role as educators is to work on the changing of behaviour,” said Curtis LaPierre, principal of DVSS.
Students and parents are encouraged to contact their school principal if they feel they are being bullied and especially if the bullying is occurring via social networking websites or texting.

Ever given any thought to indulging your fantasies? About doing something that in your wildest imagination you would never have thought of doing? Climb a mountain, run a marathon, drive a race car (one of my fantasies), go scuba diving, or skydiving. Never thought about it? Well, some people actually live their fantasies. How about that Australian stuntman/thrillseeker/adrenaline junkie who took a balloon up about 25 miles into the stratosphere? A balloon ride for me would be in one of those colorful, hot air numbers you see rising above the valley every once in a while in the summer. That would be thrill enough for me. I don’t know how high those balloons go, but I don’t guess that it’s much more than about 1000 ft., and that’s plenty for me. Really, think about it: A wicker basket suspended from a big balloon that is filled with nothing but hot air. No helmet, no airbags, no parachute, no nothing, just a whole lot of hot air holding you up. What a thrill. This Australian fellow had his balloon (which was huge, 550 feet tall) lift him 130,000 feet, or about 25 miles. That’s enough to take your breath away. That is, if you could breathe. At that altitude there’s no oxygen, and the temperature is about 90 degrees below zero. Of course this guy had one of those high-tech, pressurized wicker baskets, and was wearing one of those fancy, streamlined bike helmets, and a pressurized space suit, on loan from Warner Bros. (It was the same one Tom Hanks wore in “Apollo 13”). The fellow had his digital camera and stepped out onto the edge of the basket to take a picture of Earth. When he tried to step back in, his boot was stuck. He reached down to free it, lost his balance, and plunged towards Earth and history. The last words heard at Mission Control: “My boot lace is stuck in the wicker, I’m going to tr….” Ten minutes after trying to free his boot lace and rocketing through space at about 750 miles per hour, he landed smoothly on Terra Firma. He had broken several records, but no bones. The parachute worked. (Next time, Velcro straps instead of laces).

HOUSE FOR RENT... 2 bed-

A friend of mine often mentions in her emails what goodies she is baking that day. Lately, it has been a lot of pumpkin recipes and this one in particular had my mouth watering. Her Gramma Dot is a special friend who passed along this “tried and true” recipe for muffins or loaves. They are delicious on their own, but I was tempted to spread a little cream cheese on mine. I think there is a cinnamon flavored one that would be great on them! And, of course, you might like to dress them up with little witch hats for Halloween treats (try a “Bugle chip” dipped in chocolate and set on a chocolate wafer for the hat) . Use your imagination to create the faces – I know my imagination is running wild as I type! Enjoy….

We carry a wide selection of vitamins, supplements, herbs, homeopathics, macrobiotics, and organic food.
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not be discouraged if a few things do not go right for you this week. Most people learn from their mistakes or challenges, and you will find a silver lining in this.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes taking a risk is necessary to get ahead, Libra. Now is not the time to take risks, however, Play it very conservatively for the next few weeks and then rethink your options. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Just when you seem to be coasting along successfully, a few minor bumps may spring up, Scorpio. They won’t be enough to derail your plans, however.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a large purchase has been on your mind, but until now you may not have been able to do anything about it. Put out feelers and test the water in the next few days.

14 area youth earn Duke of Edinburgh bronze rewards
life, if you are in better physical shape when you are young, this also tends to continue,â€? he said The Duke of Edinburgh’s introduction to the area is part of the Community Youth Challenge. This is a partnership between the RCMP and the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. It was piloted in Drumheller and Fort McLeod. Now it is established in Red Deer as well as other locales in western and northern Canada. Schneider said there is great interest, but they need to completely develop the program before they introduce internationally. The interest is already growing across the country. Sta Sergeant Art Hopkins says the Duke of Edinburgh awards have a value in the community as it engages youth. “During my 35-plus years service with the RCMP, I have been posted in many dierent communities, some as small as 140 people and some the size of cities. One of the biggest realizations I have made through my service is that there is less crime in small communities where the youth and adults are engaged within the community,â€? he said. “The Duke of Edinburgh Awards supports these beliefs.â€?

Wednesday night, 14 outstanding youth were recognized for their initiative and dedication, receiving the Duke of Edinburgh’s Bronze pins and certiďŹ cates. The ďŹ rst ever Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards ceremony in Drumheller was held at the Badlands Community Facility. The program was introduced to local students last fall and 140 signed up. Of these youth, 14 from Drumheller and Starland County were the ďŹ rst to meet the requirements for the ďŹ rst level. Jack Schneider, division president of the Duke of Edinburgh awards presented the awards. “Drumheller is the ďŹ rst of a completely new way to receive the Duke of Edinburgh Award in Canada. I am really proud of it,â€? said Schneider. He said the awards are universal and about building character. “It is a program available to every youth, regardless of physical or mental capabilities, everyone can participate. It is not about winning an award, the key word is achievement,â€? he said. “The young people set their own standards, gaining something else.â€? He explains that each young person learned through experience by completing the program which includes pursuing a hobby, completing com-

He says that beyond the personal rewards, is the value of the award in the future for the youth. He explains the award shows others in the community, such as employers or educational institutions, the person has worked hard and achieved something with their own initiative. He adds recipients enjoy an instant international camaraderie. “The award is practiced in about 150 countries and this pin is really an amazing pin. When you travel in those countries, someone will recognize you,â€? he said. “The value is that all of these young people have gone through the same project ‌and there is a bond there, a connection right away.â€? Schneider himself earned a gold Duke of Edinburgh award as a young person. He said the program tracked the success of former award winners and the results were enlightening. “The statistics are signiďŹ cant about how kids further their academic educations.

Frost prompts RCMP to crack down on obscured car windows Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller area has already experienced the ďŹ rst signs winter is approaching. As a result, the Drumheller RCMP are asking residents to be diligent in doing the morning ritual of scraping o their car windows. The RCMP observed some vehicles operating with obscured windows already. “We’ve only had frost a couple mornings, but I’ve already seen quite a few people failing to scrape their windows,â€? said Sta Sergeant Art Hopkins. “We have concerns with frosted windows and obscured vision, that we’ll be enforcing heavily.â€? Failing to clear car windows of frost can result in a minor ticket, but the real danger is an increased potential to collide with another vehicle or pedestrian, such as a school child, due to impeded vision. “It’s not the money that’s important, you’re putting yourself at risk to hit someone. It’s a necessity. We have youth walking the streets in the dark,â€? said Sta Sergeant Hopkins. “If you hit somebody, because you couldn’t see, you’d have a hard time living with yourself.â€? As of Thursday, the weather is expected to cool down signiďŹ cantly by the end of the weekend, with temperatures dipping below freezing Sunday night. The RCMP will be increasing enforcement of obscured windows. “Take that extra minute or two to scrape your windows,â€? said Sta Sergeant Hopkins. “It increases the safety of everyone, including our kids.â€?

The Drumheller Dragons finally returned home last night after being on the road for ten games straight and gave a loud and clear message they aren’t to be taken lightly. The Dragons entered the evening with a five game losing streak, but turned things around with a 5-1 win over the Olds Grizzlys. Brian Curran, head coach and general manager of the Dragons, explained the momentum began in Camrose, where the Dragons lost
by a narrow 3-2, on Sunday. “We were trying to find ourselves an identity about what type of team we are. I know what I want, and we showed that in Camrose and again last night,” said Curran. “We’re trying to establish that we have to play the type of hockey we did in the past two games to be successful in this league. If we play that kind of hockey, we’re going to get our wins.” The team was aggressive with the puck. They were physical and stood up for each other, and the penalty kill
and power plays were strong. One of the most important changes was the boys putting themselves into position to create opportunities. “One of the hardest things to teach young players is to not watch the player carrying the puck and go to different areas to help out that player. Now the guys without the puck are going to different areas to create opportunities,” said Curran. “I think the realization for the boys last night, and they needed that, was that their hard work will pay off.” “We’re trying to establish that we have to play the type of hockey we did in the past two games to be successful in this league. If we play that kind of hockey, we’re going to get our wins.”

Swimmers rejoice Chris Augey (left) and Dawna Losoncy (above) couldn’t wait to make a splash in the Aquaplex after it reopened on Wednesday. The pool had been closed since early September, both for routine maintenance and the removal of the water slide. Swimmers came out in droves and commented on how glad they were to be able to go for a swim.
The Dragons will be on the ice again tonight when they host the Okotoks Oilers, who are currently the fifth place southern division team and five points ahead of the Dragons. “They’re a good hockey club. They have a pretty mobile defence, so we’re going to have make sure we’re pretty good on our fore check,” said Curran. The puck drops tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Drumheller Memorial Arena.
