An Edmonton teacher was fired for refusing to adhere to a school’s no zero policy, so inSide Drumheller asked students: “Should there be a no zero policy here?”
Jennifer Madsen “No, but teachers should look at why they got that and it’s fair if the teacher gives their expectations at the beginning of the year.”
Ryse Donovan “If you don’t do anything, you deserve a zero. It’s about teaching people for life.”
Jessica Syvertsen “If you don’t do the work there should be a zero.”
Bonnie Courtenay “It’s not fair to the students who were there and did the work.”
Downtown Drumheller Committee disbanded Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The Downtown Drumheller Merchants Committee has ceased to exist as an organization. Membership voted on a motion to disband Downtown Drumheller at a lunchtime meeting on Tuesday. About 10 members of the more than 30 member strong organization were unanimous in their decision. “We have no participation at all, that is the main reason,” said John Shoff member of the now defunct Downtown Drumheller Merchants Committee. “This topic came up at a last meeting in June, and I brought the motion to the floor due to participation and loss of focus.” They gave the membership 30 days notice to make sure they understood the motion would be coming this month. Shoff says they were looking for a strong showing of support if they were to remain an entity, but it did not materialize. “The executive went in person to a number of businesses who are members and explained that at the meeting in September, there is a motion on the floor to dissolve the committee,” he said, adding there were reports from the executive that many pledged to be there, but at the meeting it was the regular few who attend that voted. Downtown Drumheller was formed as an ad hoc group about a half dozen years ago to promote downtown as an entity, looking at ideas to increase traf-

“Originally the committee was formed to promote downtown Drumheller and it evolved into an events committee, which is good and bad, but it lost its’ vision...” John Shoff
In the end Shoff felt it was the right decision to disband. For the last few years some of the original tenants had fallen by the wayside and it mainly served as a committee to plan events. “Originally the committee was formed to promote downtown Drumheller and it evolved into an events committee, which is good and bad, but it has lost its vision… Yes events are part of that, but there is also net-
working all the businesses in downtown, cross marketing and working together for the good of the whole downtown, and that just doesn’t happen,” said Shoff. “Realistically… the events will not go away if someone wants to do them, like the Halloween trick or treat, we can group together and do it. It is just a message to businesses that ‘if you want to be involved, be involved, don’t just pay your $100 and expect everything to be done,’” said Shoff. He said the next step, moving forward, is for membership to look at other groups that exist that they may be able to partner with. “We have three or four groups that are basically doing the same thing… it’s all hypothetical, but why have a whole bunch of groups doing the exact same thing instead of one with a bunch of people and a big pool of money that we can really do bigger stuff with,” said Shoff.

Humane Society needs loving homes for foster program Michael James | inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller and District Humane Society recently celebrated their one year anniversary of moving into their adoption centre. Since opening, the need for help is just as great as it ever was. One area in need is the foster program. As space in the adoption centre becomes scarce, residents are needed to provide temporary homes for some animals. For DJ Jessup the experience was more rewarding than she had imagined. It was through fostering that she met her future dog, Ruby, a pitbull. Jessup was called out to pick up Ruby after she had been rescued from a dangerous home. “The prior owner had put on Facebook a status asking someone to get her dog, or her boyfriend would shoot her,” said Jessup. “A friend picked up Ruby, but when she got home, her mom said there was no way they were keeping Ruby.” Rather than put Ruby in a shelter, Jessup offered to look after Ruby until she found a good home. “We got the call and we picked her up. As soon as we saw her, Ruby jumped up and licked me in the face. She went home with me that night and I fostered her. After a month I adopted her and she’s been with me ever since,” said Jessup. The two are practically inseparable now. Ruby comes with Jessup to the Humane Society Shelter and has even done her part to look after the other animals there, even helping raise kittens who had lost their mothers. Generally, fosters aren’t meant to adopt, though it happens sometimes. “The ultimate goal is to get them adopted,” said Jessup. “Fosters sometimes adopt, which can be good and bad, but as long as the animal gets a good home, we’re happy.” Peggie Ginger fosters animals as well and describes it as bittersweet at times. “It’s heart wrenching,” said Ginger. “You get attached, but eventually you have to let them go. It’s great, because they now have their own space and family. That’s the reward. You’ve accomplished improving that animal’s life.” Jessup continues to foster animals for the Humane Society. “There is a definite need in this community and all over the country. We are a no kill shelter, so our fosters are vital,” said Jessup. The need is largely driven by pet owners who don’t spay or neuter their animals. Those animals breed. Owners sometimes abandon pets when they’re moving, or abandon litters.
“Every spring it’s kittens galore, and there are only so many homes,” said Jessup. The Humane Society began a fostering program in 2009. At the time there was no shelter in Drumheller and the Humane Society had no other way
inSideHappenings DAYTIME EVENTS DJ Jessup gives her dog Ruby, a pitbull, a hug. Jessup first met Ruby when rescuing her from a dangerous home and fostered the animal for a short time before adopting her. The Drumheller and District Humane Society is constantly seeking willing residents to help temporarily foster animals while they await a loving family to adopt them. inSide photo by Michael James

to ensure animals were sheltered. However, after the shelter was built, space filled up fast and the need for willing residents to foster remained. “We just didn’t have a place to keep animals, so we decided to start up a foster system,” said Ginger. “Over the past four years we’ve had people come and go. It can be difficult to find people who want to foster.” Fostering, explained Ginger, is a big commitment, especially for people who already own pets or who lead busy lives. “You have to socialize, ensure they’re healthy, learn good manners. You have a certain responsibility. If your animal isn’t socialized, no one will adopt it,” said Ginger. The Humane Society is looking for residents to help give an animal a good home until they can be adopted. Any interested resident, or anyone who wants to help out in other ways, is encouraged to contact the Humane Society at 403-334-0894, or visit www.drumhellerhumane.org. “It’s about helping any way you can. It’s a more personal way to help the animals. They’re right there in your home,” said Jessup. “You know, because they’re in your home, they don’t have to be in a cage and when you look in their eyes they know you’re helping them.”

Best auroral season this year predicted Darryl Reid | submitted
Tis the season...for electric skies! Experts and amateurs alike are anticipating what could be one of the best ‘auroral seasons’ in a long time, maybe ever. Aurora Borealis, or the northern lights as most of us know them, are a direct result of activity on the surface of the sun. Disruptions in the suns magnetic ďŹ eld, which appear in visible light as sunspots, allow enormous amounts of energy to escape the sun’s surface. These eruptions produce what are known as coronal mass ejections (CME) which travel away from the sun at speeds of about a million miles per hour. If a CME is directed toward the earth it is said to be geo-eective and we can expect aurora. The lights themselves
are produced, simply put, when the energy from the sun reaches the earth and charges
particles high in the atmosphere making the sky glow. The eect is a lot like a uorescent

bulb, only much more breathtaking. Sunspots have been seen to occur in cycles, with each cycle being about 11 years from maximum to maximum. The current cycle peaks this winter and all indications are that we are in for a good show. Many good websites are available to keep you informed of the ever changing ‘spaceweather’. My personal favourite is spaceweather.com which even provides an application which sends me text messages as soon as the show begins.

Tyrrell garden set to bloom this spring Michael James | inSide Drumheller
Sadly, visitors to the Royal Tyrrell Museum this past year’s haven’t been able to enjoy one of the coolest areas in the museum; the lush, jungle-like Cretaceous Garden. However, plans are in place to have the garden wow crowds in the spring of 2013. “We’ve determined next year will be the grand reopening for our Cretaceous Garden. We’re working hard to get it ready and looking good in the spring,� said Leanna Mohan, marketing and communications coordinator at the Tyrrell Museum. The renovation began out of a desire to increase the accessibility and interpretive poten-
tial of the garden. The garden houses plant species similar to what was in Drumheller during the late Cretaceous period (roughly 70 million years ago), giving guests a glimpse into prehistory. “It’s staying as it was before, so the Cretaceous. There’s a certain criteria of plants that fall in that. Some of the things in there previously were left over from when it was still a tropical garden, so there were things that weren’t speciďŹ c to the Cretaceous that probably shouldn’t have been in there. None of that stu will be returning,â€? said Dawn Christian, horticulturist with the Tyrrell Museum. Some of the plants that lived here 70 million years ago included

gingkos, a plethora of ferns, and palm trees. The garden has been closed since the fall of 2011. At that time students from Olds College assisted museum sta in removing the plants and relocating them to Olds College where they were cared for until the Tyrrell garden was ready. With a clean slate in regards to the plants, it is hoped the renovations will provide an opportunity to take advantage of the whole year. Previously, most of the garden would go dormant when winter set in. The new mix of plants will hopefully provide visitors something to see all year round. “We hope to have things ower in spring, summer, and into the fall. We’ll have some evergreens and some deciduous trees. We’re also looking at plants that have interesting berries or fall colours. We’re trying to extend the seasonality of the Cretaceous Garden,â€? said Christian. “It will still go dormant, but there are some plants that like those temperatures and will still ower and produce interesting things.â€?
Renovations on the Royal Tyrrell Museum garden began last fall and are expected to be complete in the coming spring. All of the plants and animals in the garden
were relocated and crews have been busy removing the soil and redesigning the garden. The renovations include a walkway over the garden. photo submitted
After the plants were removed, most of the soil was removed and some of the concrete foundation of the garden was remodelled, requiring a lot of work with jackhammers. In addition to new plants, and many of the old plants returning, the garden will boast a walkway over the garden, complete with interpretive signs. Visitors will walk over the garden, rather than through it as
before. The museum will also add dierent specimens, including a dinosaur footprint found by the museum preparation lab supervisor, Jim McCabe. “Now everything is ready to go so the plants can survive for another 25 years,â€? said Mohan. “We’re hoping to start placing the plants in the next month.â€? Over the winter, the garden will remain closed as the ďŹ nishing
touches are put on the garden. The time will also allow the plants to get rooted and looking their best for the public once spring rolls around. “We’ll be putting things back in at the end of the month, but a lot of it will be arriving dormant. We won’t see leaves starting to come back until the spring,� said Christian. “It’ll take some time to get it done, but it’ll look great,� promised Mohan.

He worked as a municipal and as a rural officer as well as on traffic. He also worked in criminal intelligence where he had specialized duties. Hopkins served as a senior diving instruc-

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Food Columnist Celebrate Fall with a nice beet salad! Beets are something I can never get enough of. They are right up there in my top 10 list of favorite veggies. I always get excited when I find a new beet recipe and this salad didn’t let me down. Roasted Beet Salad with cheese and nuts 2 ½ lb. beets (about 1.25kg) 1/3 cup dry, hard apple cider 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar 2 shallots, chopped, or ¼ cup chopped onion 2 cloves garlic, minced 3 Tbsp parsley, chopped ¼ cup olive oil 3 tsp Dijon mustard 6 cups salad greens 1 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped (skin removed) ½ cup crumbled, soft goat cheese 1 large carrot, grated
distinguished service to fellow citizens, the community, or to Canada, both at home and abroad. The recipients included Regular and Civilian Members, Public Service employees, and Auxiliary Members who volunteer their time to serve the citizens of Alberta. “I am proud of the members and employees of the RCMP who received this most prestigious recognition from His Honour, the Lt. Governor on behalf of our honourary Commissioner, her majesty the Queen,” said C/Supt. Marlin Degrand. “Every
Wash beets and wrap in foil. Grill over medium heat, turning often for about half an hour, then test with a skewer to check. When tender, remove and allow to cool slightly. Rub skins off under cold running water. Whisk the cider, vinegar, shallots, garlic, parsley, oil, mustard and some salt and pepper. Cut the beets into wedges and mix with half the dressing. Serve over the greens sprinkled with the nuts, cheese and carrot. Drizzle remaining dressing over. Garnish with some chives. *I have made this using feta for people who don’t care for goat cheese, but I think goat cheese and beets go together very nicely.

This is the first column that I am writing regarding anything political, since before the election. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to write about, there’s been a cornucopia of material. It is politics after all, someone is always doing something goofy. Anyway, here goes. There is always much blather about separation of church and state. Someone will say something regarding his faith, and all of a sudden the man is a religious bigot. He and his beliefs have no place in political office. How dare he suggest that his values are the values by which the rest of us should live. People of his ilk are unfit for public office, as they have no concept of separation of church and state. If you want to run for public office, leave your religion at home, it has no place in the political realm. Politics and religion cannot occupy the same office in peaceful co-existence. On any given Sunday you will find a church full of sinners; liars, cheats and thieves. (If not, there would be no need of churches). On the other 5 days of the week, you will find the very same bodies occupying seats in the Legislature, the House of Commons, Congress, wherever. So then, where lies the separation? We demand honesty from our politicians, we expect them to have a strong moral foundation, and display ethical behavior. What is honest? Moral? Ethical? Without referencing a religion, no one would know, and if they did know, why would they practice them? There can be no more separation of church and state than there can be a separation of man and his soul. The death of Peter Lougheed is a great loss to his family. It is also a great loss to the province of Alberta. Over the past week we have been reminded of the many achievements of Lougheed and his government. All the comments from political colleagues and friends show the character and stature of a man who carried a torch for this province. These have also served to shine a brilliant light, and reveal what pygmies, and pale imitations now occupy the same office. Where Lougheed had vision and foresight, today’s leaders wear bifocals. Our present leader claimed Lougheed as a mentor. Surely she must have meant for someone other than herself, for had she been mentored by Peter Lougheed, There would be money in the bank, and no talk of a “National Energy Strategy” I compare Lougheed to Ronald Reagan. Both men knew that they were the servants; both men had a knack for making people feel good about themselves; both men attracted good people to them; both men saw beyond themselves.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, relaxing for a few days seems like the perfect idea, but restlessness will ultimately thwart these plans. Engage in low-energy activities, instead.

DVSS senior girls volleyball season underway inSide Drumheller
The Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) senior Dynos girls volleyball team is setting up for a big season this year and are hoping to serve up some big wins. The season started Wednesday evening in the DVSS gym against
Trochu. The Dynos dominated against Trochu, winning two games straight. The Dynos serves were spot on, they dug for the ball, they spiked the ball where the Trochu squad didn’t expect, and they were a like a brick wall at the net. In the first game the Dynos won 25-17 and in the second, 25-18.
The Dynos have been hard at work since the beginning of the school year. Inevitably the team roster changes year to year, owing to players graduating from high school. Last year, a few members of the team moved on. This year, a few new players have joined the team. “A few girls graduated last year, so it’s definitely

some city teams. It’ll give us a good understanding about where we fit in with 2A and 3A teams in terms of possibilities for the season, but it’s still pretty early to know for sure,” said Sullivan. Sullivan went on to add the SAIT tournament will be a good opportunity for the girls to show their skills for the coaches of the SAIT volleyball team. The season is barely underway and its already shaping up to be busy for the girls. The team is optimistic about the upcoming year.

s t r o p s Bantam Titans overcome Springbank

The Bantam Titans chalked up their first win of the season, and it came against a worthy foe. The Bantam Titans were the second half of a double header at home Saturday against Springbank. Their first drive down the field yielded a touchdown, and it didn’t stop after that as the Titans went on to a 36-20 win. Aden Enns and Nick Kakuk led the offense and a strong defense effort contributed to the win. “They made it interesting in the fourth quarter,” said head coach Paul Redmond. “The defense played well as the offense started clicking.” The Bantam Titans had never defeated Springbank lead-
ing up to Saturday afternoon’s game. Redmond was confident his team would be in the hunt. “I saw how they played last weekend, and it made for a good match,” said Redmond. He says it appears there is parity in the league as most teams are strong. This week they are on the road to play Lindsay Thurber of Red Deer. Often the large urban school fields a strong team. “They played Hunting Hills of Red Deer and Lacombe and they were both vey close games, so I am thinking they are not the powerhouse they were last year,” said Redmond, adding that Lindsay Thurber was a tier two finalist last season. “I think we will do very well.”
