The community never stops The involvement in the community of Drumheller residents never ceases to amaze and Thursday had inSide Drumheller running pillar to post keeping up with the many activities in the valley. (Clockwise from top) October 25 was “Be a Fan Day”, where supporters of Special Olympics athletes wore red shoelaces in celebration of the athletes and to support their programs. Deputy Mayor Tom Zariski, and councillors Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk and Jay Garbutt joined Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins, Special Olympic coaches, and athletes at the Badlands Community Facility to mark the day. The Poppy Campaign in Drumheller began Thursday afternoon when Legion president

Faint striations in the fossils of two small recent dinosaur discoveries in the Drumheller valley is making the science community buzz this week. On October 26, the American Association for the Advancement of Science published the findings of Royal Tyrrell Museum Palaeontologist Francois Therrien and fellow University of Calgary researcher Darla Zelisnky. They have discovered the first feathered dinosaurs on the continent of North America. “Since 1998 we have been discovering dinosaurs with feathers, so that’s no surprise, now we have a good understanding of how feathers evolved from meat eating dinosaurs, leading
up to birds,” he explains. “Ornithomimids were a mystery, there was a gap in our understanding. Even though good specimens had been discovered in Alberta for over 100 years, none of them had ever been found with feathers.” Two fossils of the aptly named Ornithomimids (Greek for “bird-mimic lizards”) were recently uncovered in the valley; one in 2009 near the Drumheller landfill, and one in 2008 near Kirkpatrick. This is not only the first time a feathered Dinosaur has been found on the continent, but the first Ornithomimid with feathers. The discovery of a juvenile specimen shows remnants of a down-like plumage, while the adult dinosaur discovered
In some of the fossils the feathers show up as striations, while in others there are dark carbon streaks. The distribution of the markings matched the pattern on modern wings. Therrien said the downy feathers were of an insulating nature, and the plumage and developed feathers on the more mature fossil could have served for reproductive purposes.” “Before, we thought, the wings would have been for flight or gliding, or to help the animal escape predators, but now we find wings in adults and not babies. We looked at other birds and mammals, but also at dinosaurs… all those crests and horns and ornamentation only occur with sexual maturity,”
said Therrien. “Young guys don’t need this but when they get in to the game for sexual reproduction to try to display for courtship to impress female and scare away competing males, we think this is when these structures become important.” Therrien explained, like most discoveries, it was sort of an accident. Because of the coarse sandstone in the area scientists simply felt feathers would be a long shot to find. When they were unearthing one of the finds he joked with technicians, “If we were in China, we would call these feathers,” referring to the fine details often preserved in Chinese fossils, including feathered dinosaurs. For so many years people haven’t been paying attention to specimen in sandstone because they suspected feathered dinosaurs would only be preserved in fine grain rocks,” he said. He said this is the discovery highlight the leading professional work being done at the Tyrrell Museum. “After 100 year of collecting in the valley, there is still lots to learn and discover right here,” he said. Another advantage for the museum is discoveries like this can be shared with the public right away. Rather than locking finds in a drawer, they hope to have them available for public consumption next month.

Illness causes quarantine at Humane Society shelter Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The end is in sight for the quarantine that has shut down the Drumheller and District Humane Society shelter. It is estimated the building will reopen to the public in one to two weeks. Roughly five weeks ago, animals began exhibiting upper respiratory and stomach flu-like symptoms. In response, the shelter was quarantined and the Valley Veterinary Clinic has been treating the animals. All of the animals at the shelter have been responding well to
treatment. “We sent away a sample [to identifiy the virus] and are waiting for the results. The animals are improving and are doing quite well. We put them in quarantine to control the infection in the shelter. I don’t want someone to take it home on their clothing and infect their animals,” said Heather Lehmann, a veterinarian with the Valley Veterinary Clinic. “I don’t think it will be long before the shelter is open.” There are a number of factors that can accelerate the spread of infection, such as stress, crowded conditions, drafts, damp-
ness, dust, and mixing of different age groups. “When you keep animals in a contained area for a long period of time, and it can happen in a feral colony too, a virus can go around quickly and maybe mutate and do another round,” said Peggie Ginger, a volunteer with the Humane Society. “They have seasonal illnesses just like people do.” Every precaution is being taken to ensure the infection does not spread. “We can’t adopt out and we can’t let anyone in. If they come in, it could get on their clothes and they could take it home to their
animals,” said Ginger. “The people who go into the shelter to work and clean, they have to be sprayed down with disinfectant before they leave the building.” It is not know how the virus entered the shelter. Possible explanations include a new animal brought into the shelter or even from human contact. “Someone could have brought it in on their clothing,” said Lehmann. The area where animals are brought does not have
a separate ventilation system, like most larger shelters. Though the animals are separated physically, airborne pathogens are not impeded. It is hoped with funding, the areas can be separated more in the future. The volunteers of the Humane Society will be getting expert training and advice to help ensure the animals remain healthy in the future. “We’re going to have shelter health come in to teach us some procedures
and give us some training on how to help the pets we have on site,” said Ginger. To help stop the spread of infection at home, pet owners are encouraged to wash and disinfect their hands between touching animals and vaccinate their pets. The Humane Society is in need of willing homes to foster animals temporarily while the quarantine remains. The Humane Society can be contacted at 403-8238999 or 403-334-0894.

WORKS Rotary helps bring clean water to small Guatemalan village 4 - Friday, October 26, 2012
inSide Drumheller | inSideDrumheller.com
Rotary member Rachel Sheils (middle) helps demonstrate a water filter to a crowd in the village of Mocohan, Guatemala. The Drumheller Rotary Club, with help from three other nearby clubs, were able to send $34,000 worth of water filters (about 700) to the small village to help give them a reliable source of clean water. photo submitted
Drumheller can have a far, international reach as evidenced by a recent aid trip by a Drumheller resident. The Drumheller Rotary Club, in tandem with four other Rotary Clubs in Alberta, sent member Rachel Sheils to Guatemala recently to help an impoverished community. The goal of the trip was to deliver much needed water filters and training to the residents of the small community of Mocohan, so they may be able to have one of the necessities of life; clean water. The need for clean water had been identified by a Rotary member who went to Mocohan as part of another group several years ago. “It took about two years and $34,000 for water filters and we were ready to go,” said
Sheils. Sheils left for Guatemala on September 10 to help distributed roughly 700 personal water filters, enough for each household in Mocohan. The Rotary clubs raised $17,000 for the project and the federal government provided matching funds.
QUOTE
Michael James | inSide Drumheller
“When people support our fundraisers, they support a number of projects. It helps support community and international projects” Rachel Sheils
This wasn’t the first time the village has received aid. “It was really good because another organization in the past had tried to help the community by building a well, but as soon as they
left, the person who owned the land made people pay. The same happened with a windmill. Some organizations go in with the best intentions, but sometimes don’t get the best results,” said Sheils. The Rotary partnered with an established organization in the village, Impact Ministries, who have been in the community for 12 years and who run the local school. One of the most striking parts about life in Guatemala for Sheils was their level of poverty. “There are a lot of people who live on the 24 hour cycle. They’ve made enough money to make it through the day and then start over the next,” said Sheils. However, Sheils reckons there is a lot we as Canadians can learn about life from the people of Mocohan.
“Even though they are impoverished, they have a beautiful culture. They are so rich in relationships. Our culture can learn a lot from them about slowing down and enjoying the presence of people,” said Sheils. The money for the filters was raised through the many fundraising events of the Rotary Club. “When people support our fundraisers, they support a number of projects. It helps support community as well as international projects,” said Sheils. Sheils returned from her trip on September 19, but she’s already thinking of going back to continue helping the residents of Mocohan. “I loved it,” said Sheils. “I’m hoping to organize a mission trip through the church to take people there to experience it.”

GERBER Ernest Joseph June 15, 1925 - October 22, 2012 Ernest Joseph Gerber, of Drumheller, Alberta, passed away peacefully at the age of 87 surrounded by his family on Monday, October 22, 2012 at the Calgary Foothills Hospital. Ernie was born in Edgewood, B.C. June 15, 1925 to Ernst and Mary (Buck) Gerber. He was the youngest of three children. His family operated a cheese factory in Edgewood. Later they moved to Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Ernie had been on his own since a young teenager throughout the dirty 30’s and war time. He worked very hard as a chauffeur in Davidson, SK, the nickel mines of Sudbury, ON, winter logging and coal mines of Luscar, AB, and as a farm hand for a few dairy operations near Calgary. In 1947 he bought a farm north east of Coronation, AB and traded his Indian motorcycle and sidecar for a grain truck that was later used as the Coronation fire truck. He married in 1957 and was blessed with three children for whom he spent countless hours building homemade toys from tractors to go-karts and even the go-kart banked track. Ernie used his creative ingenuity to build various farm yard buildings and machines to expand the farm. He was able to repair most anything and offered his help to neighbors. He even built his own machinery. In 1965 he designed a hydraulic motor and control system that he patented. Ernie never lost his curiosity of how things were made and at the age of 65, he trained for two years to become a machinist. Ernie moved to Drumheller to retire. In 1994, he married Mavis Keith. Together, they enjoyed many trips for various wood working courses. They travelled to Eastern Canada, the Caribbean, to Switzerland where he located his family roots, and most recently to Hawaii. Numerous other more local adventures were made with Mavis and friends. He loved visiting and exchanging ideas with his sense of humor and wit. He enjoyed his home, working in his shop and out in their yard. Ernie is survived by his loving wife and best friend Mavis KeithGerber and his special pet Chauncey; his children; Bill (Gail) Gerber of Bragg Creek, Jim (Terese) Gerber of Coronation and Rhonda (Siggi) Pechout of Calgary, his grandchildren; Lexi Pechout, Chelsey and Teren Gerber; Mavis’ sons; Ian (Connie) Walker, Danny Walker and Darren Walker and grandchildren; Kayanna, Kaleb, Janelle and Brianne Walker. He is also survived by his sister Alice (Ken) Haddow and sister-in-law Alice Gerber. He is predeceased by his brother John Gerber. Night prayer service will be from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at Courtney-Winters Funeral Home 1992nd Street West, Drumheller, Alberta. Funeral Services will be held at St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Gilles LeBlanc officiating. Interment will take place at the Drumheller Municipal Cemetery, with lunch to follow at the Royal Canadian Legion. Memorial donations in his memory may be made to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation 351-9th Street NW Drumheller AB T0J 0Y1, in care of the Physiotherapy Center. Courtney-Winters Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements (403 823 2666).

Drumheller’s Hope Clinic experiences unexpected delay Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
QUOTE
An unexpected setback has delayed plans to open Drumheller’s first naturopathic clinic. It is now expected Hope Clinic, based out of the old St. Anthony’s School, won’t be operational until after Christmas. Project leaders were optimistic the clinic would be open at the beginning of November after a naturopathic practitioner was hired in May.
creditation exam to be officially a practioner of naturopathic medicine. Unfortunately, she missed passing the exam by a single point. She intended to write again, but had to wait until February 2013 and wouldn’t receive her results until May. Hope Clinic was therefore forced to delay opening
“We put the appointments on hold until we find out officially when we’re opening the doors. As soon as we have a candidate and they’ve accepted, we’ll be opening the appointment book.” Jon Ohlhauser Project Leader Hope Health Ventures
“When we launched our intentions to open the clinic, our advisors suggested we first recruit professionals to the clinic. We went through an extensive search process. In May, we offered the opportunity to a young lady,” said Jon Ohlhauser, project leader for Hope Health Ventures. The practitioner had to write an international ac-
Hope Clinic, which will operate out of the Old St. Anthony’s School building, has been delayed until January 1, 2013. The naturopathic practitioner that was hired narrowly missed receiving her international naturopathic accreditation, which therefore required Hope Health project leaders to resume the search for a practitioner. inSide photo by Michael James
and resume the search for a naturopathic practitioner. “We’ve reopened the search. We interviewed a candidate from Toronto, via Pigeon Lake yesterday. We’ll see if there is a fit and if there is, we’ll probably only see a couple months delay. They would have to receive their Alberta licence. If would take about four weeks to get that,” said Ohlhauser. Appointments had intended be taken at the beginning of October, but now will be delayed until a practitioner is officially hired. “We put the appointments on hold until we find out officially when we’re opening the doors. As soon as we have a candidate and they’ve accepted, we’ll be opening the appointment book. That could happen in the middle of November,” said Ohlhauser. The delay in opening the clinic is not expected to affect the proposed start of Hope College. “It doesn’t, they’re two separate streams. Even though they have some synergy, they have different timelines. We still expect to open next fall,” said Ohlhauser. Those wanting to partake in the new clinic’s services will have to wait a little longer. “It was an unexpected curve ball,” said Ohlhauser. “December 1 is the best case scenario, but I would say January 1 is more realistic, because of Christmas.”

Foster families honoured Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
Foster families make up an important part of communities, and this week they are being recognized nationally and locally. At Monday night’s Drumheller Town Council Meeting, Deputy Mayor Tom Zariski made the declaration that Drumheller recognize Foster Family Week. He again made the declaration Tuesday
heartfelt thanks to all of our foster families for your vital role in improving the lives of children and youth,” said Hancock. “We know the care and supports provided throughout a child’s life are extremely important. The dedication, compassion and generosity of Alberta foster parents are greatly appreciated and truly worthy of recognition.” In Alberta, foster parents are caring for about 4,600 youngsters. In the
Drumheller area, there are about 13 families. On Tuesday evening they held an appreciation night for the families in the area as well as those agencies that work with them. There is always a need for more foster families. Information can be found at www.child. alberta.ca or by calling 403-823-1767.
So cold... Drumheller has been buried by snow this past week and temperatures are dipping below freezing. Even the animals that call our town home are seeking shelter from
the early winter. This rabbit was found keeping warm under the engines of the cars park at The Drumheller Mail/inSide Drumheller office. inSide photo by Michael James

evening with foster families in the area as well as professionals in the Central Alberta Child and Family Services Authority. “Whereas healthy families which are supported by responsible and caring communities, Foster Families are the safe and healthy family alternative for children in need; and Whereas the hands of society support the child - foster parents are an illustration of these hands; and Whereas The Town of Drumheller and surrounding area recognizes that it is because of Foster Families that children in need can remain in their own communities alongside their previously established supports in their family, school, church, friends and neighbors; therefore I do hereby proclaim The week of October 21 to 27, 2012 as Foster Family Week,” reads the declaration. A press release from Alberta Minister of Human Services David Hancock describes foster families as unsung heroes. “I want to extend my

It really is frightening, the number of people who go south for the winter. Nationally it must number in the 10’s of thousands. Some go for a couple of weeks to a rented place in Phoenix and the surrounding area, others will go for a month or two to a time shared Mexican condo. Still others will leave town in October and not come back until March or April. They may show up for a few days around Christmas, but for the most part they seek the warmer climes, and who can blame them? Certainly not I. We are a very fortunate people, we have been blessed with great wealth. We know it, we’re grateful for it. To be able to leave our homes, and stay elsewhere, simply to avoid winter and the cold. How lucky are we? How many of you have been on the wrong side of a bully at one time or another? How many of you were the bully? Admit it, we’ve all been the bully or been bullied at some time in our life. Not to worry, the NDP has called for a National Prevention Strategy to combat bullying. (I can see it being almost as effective as the war on poverty or drugs). Of course all those in the House of Commons, our MP’s, will have to forgive and forget all the bullying they’ve done to one another over the last 10 years. And promise, under penalty of the “put a loonie in the jar for every bad thing you say” rule, never to bully again. I would suggest that before any bullying prevention strategy be attempted, someone ought to define bullying, before it becomes too politically correct. The definition may be so broad that the smallest thing you say or do to someone, will be labeled bullying, and you labeled a bully. When I first read about the young girl who committed suicide because she was being bullied, I wondered in what manner was she being bullied. From what I had read, she was not really being bullied in the conventional sense, she was instead being sexually harrassed. My next question was, how could this be? Apparently, she did something for which, like so many things in life, she regretted. She bared her breasts to a computer screen, and the person on the other end had that image forevermore. The picture, or video became quite popular, and unfortunately rather ubiquitous. That is the folly of putting anything on the computer. So, who is at fault? The fellow who took the picture and kept showing it around? The girls parents for allowing her to use a computer for such purposes? The girl, for doing what she did? The godless, internet, social media? Stop bullying? You might as well try and stop global warming.

Raptors looking strong at season start The Drumheller Minor Hockey Raptors hit the ice for the ďŹ rst time this season last weekend. The teams racked up quite a few wins in what, for some, were their ďŹ rst games of the year. The Canalta Novice Tier 6 team came out strong for their ďŹ rst two games of the season. On Saturday, the team dominated Strathmore by a score of 18-3. The next day, they hosted Brooks and came away with a 13-7 win in front of a home crowd. The McDonald’s Tier 3 team began their season two weekends ago. This past weekend they managed their ďŹ rst win, beating Fort MacLeod on the road. The day prior they had a close 9-7 defeat against Chestermere. “We lost to Chestermere, but the kids
played really good. On Monday, we went down to Fort MacLeod and gave them a whupping,� said head coach Kit Clark. “The kids are excited and having fun.� At the Atom level, the Yavis Atom Tier 3 team took to the road on Sunday, coming away with a 10-7 win.

team was in Redcli, but couldn’t keep the momentum going and lost 11-4. “They did excellent for their ďŹ rst weekend. We won on Saturday and, unfortunately, lost Sunday’s game. They’ll come back once we get more practice together and learn to play together,â€? said assistant coach Nick Schinnour. “We’ve got a strong team as long as we’re in the right tier. If we’re not, we’ll have to step up and make the team stronger. We were down last year and we made it work by the end.â€? A key dierence this year is how the teams were tiered. Coaches feel this year the
teams are more evenly matched within their tiers and are hopeful it will translate into more wins. “We’ve got them tiered a little better than pervious years, so it’s going really good,� said Clark. Coultes was agreed, stating, “I think the tiers are better this year. I hope some of the kids who have had below a 50 per cent win average over the past few years will get some wins and start feeling better about hockey.� The Raptors season continues.
