Video inspection needed for Drumheller’s murky water woes Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

The Town of Drumheller hopes to use video inspection equipment to get down and see with their own eyes what’s causing the murky water pouring into some residences in the valley.

At the council meeting on Monday, Chief Admwinistrative Officer Ray Romanetz explained that without physically inspecting the pipe, every guess as to the cause of the sediment is just

speculation. The method of inspection the town is eyeing is said to cost between $50,00070,000 to send and receive the advanced technique provided by Pressurized Pipe Inspection Company, based in Mississauga, Ontario. “We have to see what’s in the pipe to have a better chance of success,” said Romantez on Monday. “We don’t know what the cause (of unclear water) is yet.” The town wants to make an informed decision before going ahead. “We need to see what we’re up against and make an informed decision. We’re going to do the camera thing first, and then see

whether it needs cleaning, to be taken out of service, or whatever ends up being the best bang for our buck,” said Director of Infrastructure Al Kendrick. The town has removed a piece of the piping, and the scaling on the interior is quite extensive. There are a number of things that can be done to the components of the pipe, the decision is what would be the best measure. Theories to the cause are that manganese could be reacting chemically in the water, the scaling on the pipe and other sediment could be stirred up, and recent temperatures could have loosened sediment. Flushing over the last few

weeks has stirred up the sediment even more, Romanetz said. Whatever the solution, fixing problems in established pipelines is no walk in the park. “It’s extremely costly,” said Kendrick. Romanetz said at council Monday the town is hoping to bring in a project leader in 2-3 weeks, and work to fix the pipe needs to be completed before cool weather comes. The town is hoping that within a week they’ll receive an answer from the Ontario pipe inspection company. “We want to be sure to get this thing solved to the best of our abilities as soon as possible,” said Kendrick.

The Road to Mecca connects personally with audiences at Rosebud two women who have come to depend on each other. And because it is a story about trust, it can’t help but be a story about

Part of what makes a story resonate with its audience, whether in a book, a movie, a play or in some other form, is the relevance it has to touch people’s lives. This common ground engages the audience by creating an understanding and a personal connection. On Golden Pond is an example of how the story of life and aging characters moving through the seasons of life can connect with audiences because we all experience this transition. Similarly, Rosebud’s fall production, The Road to Mecca by Athol Fugard, will captivate and connect with its audiences. Artistic Director, Morris Ertman describes The Road to Mecca. “At the centre of our story is an aging sculptor who everyone calls ‘Miss Helen’. She truly is what most of us aspire to be – a free spirit. She is a woman with a ďŹ erce sense of independence who is nearing the time when she must decide to leave her home and her work behind to move into a home for the aged. “Few people are able to get near her, in large part because they don’t understand her. But there is a young woman who drives twelve hours from the city to help her aging friend because of her cry for help. This is a story about the depth of friendship and trust between

days, Thursdays and Saturdays and evening only shows on Fridays.. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Rosebud Theatre Box OďŹƒce at 1-800-267-7553. For more information visit www.rosebudtheatre.com

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

A comment by Wayne Cao, Conservative MLA, regarding the demand from the Office of the Speaker of the Legislature to the Wildrose Alliance to stop quoting Danielle Smith in caucus releases. Mr. Cao said, and I quote, “They’re [the Wildrose Alliance] playing politics in the Legislature.” What a revelation, a political party playing politics in the Legislature! My word, man, what next, hockey players playing hockey in an arena? I’m sorry for being flippant, but really, what better venue in which to play politics than the Legislature, the official home of political discourse? Webster’s dictionary describes politics as 1. the science and art of political government; 2. political affairs, 3. the conducting of, or participation in, political affairs; 4. political methods or tactics; 5. political principles, opinions, or party connection; 6. factional scheming within a party. I wonder to which of these Mr. Cao was referring when he accused the Wildrose Alliance of “playing politics”? Danielle Smith may not have a seat in the Legislature, yet, but she is the leader of the Wildrose Alliance, and that being so, some things she may say are newsworthy, and certainly caucus-worthy. To demand that caucus no longer quote her in its releases is unfair. The irony in this is that it is the Speaker seeking to censor free speech. Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m the only one who sees it as somewhat funny, a speaker censoring speech. Oilsands, tarsands, dirty oil, bitumen. All petroleum or containing petroleum, and all in much need by the developed world. In fact, when you think of how many by-products come from a barrel of oil you begin to realize what a valuable resource it really is. We all know gasoline, heating oil and lubricating oil, but after that the list is extensive. There’s grease, jet fuel, asphalt, paint, detergent, synthetic rubber, plastics, antiseptics, cosmetics, drugs, anaesthetics, fertilizers, nylon and other synthetic fabrics, kerosene, insect sprays, weed killers and rust preventatives. And let’s not forget butane and propane. Big list isn’t it? And I probably missed some. After examining that list, can someone, anyone, tell me how many of these oil by-products will be replaced with the by-products of wind energy or solar energy? I’m sure some of you think that hybrid vehicle you’re driving is a nice “green” alternative. Well maybe, but it’s no cheaper to produce, still relies on gasoline and oil to keep all its moving parts moving, and the lithium used in the batteries is mined somewhere in South America. As lithium is never found in its pure state, it must be refined from one. Mining and refining all use up a great deal of land and energy. That hybrid might save you money at the gas pump, but is it really all that “green”? The point I am trying to make is that there are so many things that we use everyday that we take for granted, that are in some way by-products of oil. After water, it is probably the one thing that modern man could not long do without. The industrial machine that provides us with so much would virtually grind to a halt, through lack of either lubrication or fuel. Take a look around you and just see how many oil-based products you use in a day. Wind, solar, and even nuclear are wonderful, but let’s not kid ourselves, oil will always be at the top. The thing we are confronted with more and more is, can we coexist with it? As much as we need it and its by-products, it may be the death of us all. 37l

Family Literacy involves in-home visits, books to borrow, and other methods to make a home more conducive to learning. It helps parents make sure their child succeeds before entering school, by preparing them with a similar environment. “These programs are a much cheaper way for people to learn things,” says Annette Nielson, Further Education Coordinator. “What we’re here for, is to make it easier for the students.

medications are safe to crush or split, while some medications are not. Specifically, preparations such as the controlled-released (CR) and the extended-released (ER) tablets, are designed to be slowly absorbed into your body to prevent side effects and/or prevent high amounts of the medication in your body. The consequence of crushing such preparations could be fatal, as you would have dangerously high amounts of the medication introduced to your body at once. On the other hand, there are medications that are Enteric Coated (EC) to prevent stomach upset, or improve absorption. Those preparations usually should not be crushed unless directed by your doctor. Therefore, it is best to check with your pharmacist about each medication you’d like to crush.

see the doctor for assessment. Allergic Conjunctivitis is usually itchy with watery discharge in both eyes. It can be resolved with over-the-counter products such as antihistamines or eye drops. Bacterial conjunctivitis is contagious and often causes a heavy yellowish discharge. Crusting may appear on eyelids. Antibiotic eye ointments or drops may help eliminate it. Viral conjunctivitis is contagious, usually affects only one eye, and causes watering discharge. Crusting on eyelids sometimes occurs. Antibiotics can’t treat a viral infection and the symptoms usually clear up within a few days or weeks. Good hygiene such as hand washing can help prevent pink eye. You can always ask your pharmacist for over-the-counter products or non-drug therapy to help relieve the symptoms. However, it is best to bring your child to the doctor immediately if he/she has pain, altered vision or severe illness, if the condition worsens with treatment, if you think he/she has a foreign body in the eye and if the condition lasts longer than 48 hours without treatment.

Our September book club meeting found us discussing the books we read over the summer. From this, we compiled our list for the next six months. There were a couple books that several of us read and reviewed. We rated them quite highly and recommend them as “a good read.” The first one is Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda. The story shifts between two families in India and America who are linked through the birth of a baby girl by one, and her adoption by the other. We see the reality of Indian life when only boys were acceptable into the family. The desperation of both mothers for different reasons is very gripping. We also are aware of the father’s sides of the story and the struggles they face. The two families have opposite lives as far as wealth goes, but the richness of life itself is really what matters in the end. The second book we found worthy of passing along is The Wife’s Tale by

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Book Columnist

Lori Lansens. We enjoyed her other book, “The Girls,” finding Lansens to be a good storyteller. This story about a morbidly obese woman is quite touching as we delve into her life and her feelings as she journeys toward self-discovery and acceptance. You can’t help but cheer her on as she moves from such dependency to become quite a capable person. This is one of those books that you read passages aloud and tell others about, imagining life as this character lives hers. I will share our list of upcoming books to read. Follow along and see if you agree with our opinions as we review each month!

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010 Message from Peter Lougheed Former Premier of Alberta Congratulations to all of those involved with the Royal Tyrrell Museum on its 25th anniversary. My wife Jeanne and I will be there to help celebrate this very important event. We remember well the splendid opening ceremonies on September 25th, 1985, a bright and sunny Alberta day, with a very large and enthusiastic gathering of citizens, and how proud I was to officially open this wonderful facility.

The Drumheller Mail,

Over the years I have had many citizens comment to me about the improvements and steady progress the museum is making.

T

We are looking forward to visiting many old friends in the community as well as those involved in the operations of this world-renowned institution.

Peter Lougheed Former Premier of Alberta Message from MP Crowfoot Constituency Kevin Sorenson As the Member of Parliament for Crowfoot and on behalf of the Government of Canada, I welcome everyone to Drumheller to celebrate with the Royal Tyrrell Museum on their 25th Anniversary. Drumheller has long maintained its reputation as a world-class tourism destination, a reputation enhanced by the Royal Tyrrell Museum. It is an honour to join in paying tribute to Canada’s authority on Palaeontology. We can all be proud of this internationally recognized museum located right here in Drumheller, with its amazing displays and exhibits that highlight our Earth’s history. This museum is an attraction always enjoyed and not to be missed by anyone!

"No dusty dinos i here"

I offer my congratulations to all involved with the Royal Tyrrell Museum and my best wishes for the future.

The last time I was at this museum I was about six years old and I was a bit apprehensive about going back. Would it be worth the drive to go see a bunch of dusty dinosaur skeletons? It absolutely was! Having obviously been busy in the past few years, this museum surprised me. The new interactive displays, located in the front section of the museum, are awesome...I had a hard time tearing myself away from the tetris-like one. One section has fossils mounted behind glass and frames to create a more 'gallery' feel. It is really a great place to go visit and the surrounding scenery is fantastic. - Kelsey (Calgary)

Congratulations to the Royal Tyrrell Museum on their 25th Anniversary! It is an honour to join in paying tribute to Canada’s authority on Palaeontology. We can all be proud of this internationally recognized museum, located right here in Drumheller! I offer my congratulations and best wishes for the future.

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010 Message from the Honourable Lindsay Blackett Minister of Culture and Community Spirit On behalf of the Government of Alberta, and as the Minister responsible for one of Alberta’s foremost cultural and tourist attractions, it is my honour and pleasure to wish the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology a happy 25th anniversary. In congratulating the Museum I am, of course, congratulating the visionaries who first proposed it then saw it through to completion; the Museum staff who bring the past to life every day; the many supporters, friends and benefactors whose contributions have been invaluable; the community of Drumheller, which has embraced the facility and its millions of visitors in the last quarter century; and finally the people of Alberta, who have made the Royal Tyrrell Museum their own. From its inception, the Museum has had the study of palaeontology at its core – and excellence as its goal. Today this is still true in spades. The Royal Tyrrell Museum celebrates, studies and proudly displays the evidence of our world’s biodiversity through curated exhibits, imaginative public programs and a virtual classroom open to the world.

Message from Bryce Nimmo Mayor of Drumheller It gives me great pleasure to provide this congratulatory message to the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology for 25 years of successful operations. Drumheller is very proud of the facility and appreciative of the visitors it attracts from all parts of the world. Thanks to the Museum, Drumheller is an internationally recognized name that generally conjures images of badlands and dinosaurs and as such is ranked by the Province as one of the top three visitor attractions in Alberta. Thank you, Royal Tyrrell Museum, that Drumheller continues to thrive in the area of tourism.

Bryce Nimmo Mayor

It is hard to believe that the Museum has been here for 25 years–young and vibrant though it is. At the same time, it is impossible to imagine Alberta without this world-class treasure.

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010 Message from Andrew Neuman Executive Director, Royal Tyrrell Museum A Celebration of Life It was 25 years ago that I, along with thousands of others, watched as former Premier Peter Lougheed oďŹƒcially opened the doors of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. As I sat atop the hill just across from the Museum’s front entrance, I had no idea that one day I would work with this amazing group of people as we became an integral part of Alberta’s story.

Message from Jim Ramsbottom Chairman, Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society Even before ground broke on the construction of the Tyrrell Museum the Drumheller community was actively involved in its formation. In 1979, a group of three local men, Bill Doyle, Bill Doucette, and Ossie Sheddy Sr., met with then Premier Lougheed to discuss having a dinosaur museum built in Drumheller. They had no idea just how warmly their idea would be received, especially by former Assistant Deputy Minister of Culture, Dr. Bill Byrne. The proposed $5 million project quickly grew almost eight times in scope—and in its ďŹ rst quarter century of operations, attracted 10 million visitors from around the world.

One year after the Museum opened I was hired as collections manager, and 21 years later found my way to the oďŹƒce of Executive Director. During the course of my time here, I’ve come to realize that an organiza- That initial project pitch was only the betion’s strength is its resources - in our case, ginning. Drumheller’s commitment to this world-class facility has proven boundless. both scientiďŹ c and human. When Dr. David Baird, our founding director, conceived the plans for the Museum he gave us the theme “A Celebration of Lifeâ€?; he maintained that fossils are not dead things but rather beautiful evidence of the fascinating diversity of life on Earth. For 25 years the Royal Tyrrell Museum has remained committed to this theme, and to telling Alberta’s story with scholarship, and creativity, through access to one of the most impressive natural history collections in the world. We have built up quite a community here at the Museum, both within our facility and surrounding it. It is my sense that this level of support might not have been possible had the Museum been built anywhere but Drumheller, a town where people share an intrepid spirit. All that we have achieved is because of our capable sta, dedicated volunteers, and the unwavering support we receive from local residents and organizations.

In the early 1980s, a Ministerial appointed Advisory Board was established to support the building of the Museum (a Board I was thrilled to serve on). Once the facility was operational, the Friends of the Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology was established—a group charged with supporting the educational, scientiďŹ c and public operations of the Museum. The desire to be part of something amazing and the opportunity to share this beautiful valley with the world ensured there was never a shortage of dedicated supporters giving generously of their time and abilities. When the Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society was formed in 1993, our role was to advocate on behalf of the Museum through membership programs and fund development. Today, our main focus continues to be Museum enhancement, which includes funding scientiďŹ c research, educational programs, special events, and major projects. However, we also strive to ensure that the Museum is the best corporate citizen it can be. Through donations to local charities, and the administration of endowment funds, the Society ensures the Museum has an active role in improving the quality of life for the entire surrounding community.

So as we reect on past accomplishments let us also look forward to all that is ahead; We are very proud of the role we’ve played in the Royal Tyrrell Museum’s ďŹ rst 25 years and we many more years of discovery, excellence and strength in community. Together we are look forward to everything that lies ahead. sure to ďŹ nd many new and innovative ways to continue to share Alberta’s exceptional Thank you for being with us, as we celebrate our shared successes. stories with our visitors and celebrate our collaborative successes.

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010

"Let my imagination run riot," Baird recalls museum's origin Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

“Nothing but a few cactuses, sage brush and boulders.” Close to 30 years ago, Dr. David Baird hiked up to the top of the hill east of where the Royal Tyrrell Museum now sits. This same hill now has a wooden staircase and a viewing platform. Thousands climb that same hill every year to discover the badlands. For Dr. Baird: “Nothing but a few cactuses, sage brush and boulders." Before this, Dr. Baird was simply given a vision. He believed it was Dr. Bill Byrne, who was then assistant Deputy Minister of Culture, who called him up with this vision. “A voice from Edmonton said ‘We would like some help in finding someone to come and build us, the Government of Alberta, a world class museum to be a tourist attraction for Southern Alberta. It is to be based on the fossil collection and fossil wonders to be found in the valley of the Red Deer River at Drumheller.’” Dr. Baird had already accomplished more than most would in a lifetime, a career as an academic, with dozens of published works. He was also founding Director of the National Museum of Science and Technology. At first, he was apprehensive. The voice from Edmonton laid out its expectations. It told him the government already had $30 million set aside for the project, it had a site picked out, and they would leave him alone to lead the project. “I said 'Better come and have a look,'” he chuckles. “On January 2, 1982, I landed in Drumheller to stay five years. It was the happiest five years I ever spent in my whole 70 years of professional experience,” said Baird, who is now 90. “I was doing something where I could let my imagination run riot.” The fact that he was given a free hand to create the museum was also a blessing for Baird. “For example, within two weeks I realized the terms of reference, ‘to build a world class museum dedicated to the fossil heritage of Alberta’ was not really good enough. I wanted a broader title. So I asked him (Byrne) to go back to the government to change it to read ‘A celebration of three thousand million years on earth, with special but not exclusive reference to Alberta.’ … It means the whole beautiful life on Earth from three thousand million years ago, all the way to the present time, and furthermore I could put mankind at the end of the story, where he actually belongs in the story, and wonder about his future. Within two weeks he came back and the government said yes; I was just on seventh heaven, and I wrote the story of what I thought the museum should be.”

His relationship with the architect was just as comfortable as with the government. He met up with chief architect Doug Craig and gave him a list of 27 architectural requirements of the facility. He then left Craig to design the building. He still has this list. While many of these requirements were simple, they had purpose, and still shape the museum today. One of the requirements was that the building harmonizes with the look of the badlands so it is part of a landscape. Another is routing the driveway to go past the front of the building, simply so people could easily locate the entrance. Another was having space for visitors’ eyes to adjust to entering a building.

“I said the sunlight on the bald old prairie in Drumheller is pretty bright, inside a museum the lighting is controlled. So you are going to step from the bright sunlight into the dark museum,” he said. “Instead of spending your first 20 minutes with your eyes adjusting to the gloom of the museum, I would like 20 or 30 feet of gradually reducing light - increasing darkness to the front door. “He came up with a brilliant solution. It is his, it is Craig’s,” said Baird. Another vision of the museum Baird carried was that the museum be known for having a dramatic view, and he began imagining the great dinosaur hall. His vision came to fruition and he remembers introducing it to the Premier of Alberta on opening night. “I took the whole party into the darkened museum, up the winding stairs to the balcony that overlooks Dinosaur Hall, which was in total darkness. And I said, ‘And now Mister Premier, you wanted me to give you a world class museum, I want to present to you one of the greatest museum views in the world.’ I pushed the button and somewhere downstairs a bell

rang, and a guy threw a couple knife switches and on came the lights. Well, it was the most incredible silence you ever heard.” There were skeptics at the beginning. He recalls there being curiosity about the project in Calgary, and he recalls being invited to a group to give an after-dinner talk on the museum. He recalls telling the audience he was forecasting 400,000 visitors a year. “I was almost laughed out of court. They were polite, but they didn’t believe it for a second,” he said. He is vindicated that in the 25th year, the museum welcomed its 10 millionth visitor. Along with the building of the museum came filling it with interesting exhibits and specimens. He said while there had been fossil collecting for years in Alberta, rather than relying on what they had, he wanted fossils to fit into the narrative. He also insisted on high quality work. Specimens came from all over; some were unearthed, others came from the provincial museum, the Geological Survey of Alberta and some from private collections and even people’s basements. A group of scientists, designers, technicians, artisans and craftsmen toiled away building the exhibits. Like he worked with the architects, he had the same working relationship as he did with the designers. He laid out what was required, and he let them do their job. “It was a busy four or five years, but it was wonderful, we were building a world class museum, we had lots of money and an enthusiastic government,” he said, adding it was not uncommon for politicians and bureaucrats who were “passing through” to come and assess the progress. He fondly remembers many of the people he worked with and is pleased that some are still with the museum, including Dr. Don Brinkman and Dr. Dennis Braman. He also has fond memories of working side by side with Dr. Bruce Naylor, who became the director of the Tyrrell in 1992. “He was a good friend and a much admired person in my view, and he has done a superb job,” said Baird. He also has bouquets for the modern staff at the museum. When he parted ways with the museum, his advice was to keep the exhibits fresh, and the museum’s success proved they have worked hard to continue a tradition of excellence. He has nothing but good memories of his time in Drumheller. “I was a director of a geological survey, I was chair of two or three university departments of geology, and lived all over Canada, all the way from St. John’s Newfoundland to Drumheller, but the most interesting and productive five years was right there in Drumheller,” he said. “If you think I am proud, you are right.”

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010

Currie divulges birth and future of Royal Tyrrell Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Twenty years ago work began on establishing the Royal Tyrrell Museum in a globally unknown town in the Alberta Badlands called Drumheller. Although attracting 180,000 tourists annually, criticism was strong about whether a museum of such scale and calibre would survive, said the Tyrrell’s former curator of dinosaurs and a founding labourer, Philip J. Currie. “There were a lot of people who thought there was no way it would work,” said Currie, who is now a professor at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. “They thought Drumheller was too small, that we’d never keep the staff there after they’d lived in Edmonton. “But here we are 25 years later.” Initially, work on the Tyrrell’s displays began five years before it opened, 1980, when staff from the Provincial Museum of

Alberta (now the Royal Alberta Museum), began work in the industrial park of south Drumheller. It was a tight squeeze, Currie said, with 32 technicians preparing dinosaurs in what was thought to be an impossible deadline. “It was hard to go from almost nothing to a major program instantly, we did what was pretty much an impossible job in those five years.” But the staff beat the unthinkable deadline to create without question the biggest palaeontologic museum in Canada, and among the best in the world. Upon opening, staff were still painting walls and wiring lights as the first visitors walked through the doors to what would become one of the biggest tourist attractions for Alberta. Right from day one, cars were parked as far as the railroad tracks nearly a kilometre away. “It had really strained the resources of the town, but we pulled it off successfully. It showed that the Tyrrell could be done in Drumheller, and it greatly increased our reputation,” Currie reminisced. The Tyrrell, then not yet honoured with the ‘Royal’ designation, hosted international conferences to stir buzz among scientists throughout the world and to build an identity. When it opened, it had close to the same amount of specimens it does now, but few were original casts found in the Red Deer River valley due to the short time-line given to the dedicated staff. Many were made elsewhere and contracted to the Tyrrell. Before opening, Drumheller had a reputation that saw close to 200,000 tourists pass through every year. “It was a place waiting for a museum to open, even if we continued to see 180,000 people through, it would have survived. Now we have doubled and even almost tripled that.” At history museums in New York, England, Argentina, and Ottawa, visitors would see Alberta dinosaurs on display, Currie said. “If your a kid, you notice this and beg your parents to bring you there.” Now it is one of the premier institutions in North America, and there is no question if you look at the visiting staff and listen to palaeontologists, it’s one of the leading museums, Currie said. “The Tyrrell doesn’t yet compete with the Museum of Natural History in New York,” Currie pointed out, “but they’ve had 100 years on us and a bigger population to lean on.

“Nonetheless, the visitor numbers per capita were, and are, staggering.” Currie said the mandate of the museum has changed somewhat since 1985. The original proposal for the Tyrrell listed tourism sixth or seventh on the list of reasons to open. They had no idea it would be such a massive tourist attraction. Other things in the original mandate that were once priority are not gone, but just shifted to the bottom, with tourism ranking near the top, Currie said. “And I can only see that its responsibilities will grow in the future. As long as the museum changes displays and keeps collecting specimens of interest around the world, it will always be one of the major museums in Canada.” Currie sees expansion in the Tyrrell’s future. There’s no doubt in his mind that the staff are feeling the squeeze, and that museum expansion is undoubtedly in the future. “Things could be better - not that bigger is better, but a place that has quality and quantity. Both.” The Red Deer River is the 'River of Time', it gives the world a glimpse of life at the very end of the Cretatious period. It features “exquisitely” preserved specimens and incredible diversity. “The badlands is one of the most spectacular outdoor classrooms in the world as far as palaeontologists are concerned. There’s no doubt that it’s totally unique.” Currie still spends time in the prep labs of the Tyrrell, a museum that he helped birth. He wishes that Drumheller will continue to be proud of what was given to the residents in 1985. “The fact of the matter is that when you have something in your own backyard, you tend to ignore and feel it’s not all that special. But it is a very special place.” “If you travel a lot and see what other museums do, you find that the Royal Tyrrell Museum is a truly unique facility and really is world class in just about every way.”

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010

Celebration exhibit offers glimpse into museum and world’s living history Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Already in the year of the 25th anniversary of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, thousands have taken in the spectacle of Alberta Unearthed: 25 Years of Discovery. The celebration exhibit showcases 25 of the most significant specimens of the Royal Tyrrell Museum and the stories behind them. It has been an exciting year for Dr. Don Brinkman, who has a long history with the museum. He and Dr. Don Henderson were the scientific leads for the exhibition. He is elated by how well the exhibited has been received by visitors. He is also satisfied to see many of the actual specimens on display. “It is one thing to have them in the collection, but another to have them exhibited,” he said. A trip through the exhibit is more than a chance to see some rare and significant finds, but it is also in many ways, chapters in the history of the museum. Each specimen has a story behind it, and each is accompanied by a write up of its background. Brinkman says at first they were worried there would be too much writing in the exhibit, or the stories would be overlooked by the astonishing collection. “It’s proved to be wildly successful. People are stopping and reading, which is great,” he said. “In this case it is designed to have the human connection.” Brinkman himself has a connection to many of the exhibits. He fondly remembers what is titled the 'Colossal Block'. When the time came to harvest the Gorgosaurus in a dramatic death pose from Dinosaur Provincial Park, to preserve the specimen intact, they brought with it 10 tons of stone. Even today, he has a twinkle in his eye explaining how well the death pose was preserved. He also marvels at 'The Granddaddy of Them All', the skull of a horned d i n o s au r t a k e n f r o m Dry Island Buffalo Jump Provincial Park. O l d e r than any oth-

er Triceratops known, it was determined to be a new genus. Scientifically speaking, he says the exhibit called 'Bird Brain', a Troodon braincase, may be the most significant. In examining the braincase of this relatively small and far ranging dinosaur, Currie began to gather more evidence of the relationship between birds and dinosaurs. Shortly thereafter, feathered dinosaurs were discovered in China, and most now believe birds descended from dinosaurs. The one specimen that dramatically stands out above the rest is 'Black Beauty'. While one of the smallest adult T-rex discovered, the menacing figure hulks over the gallery. Found in the Crowsnest Pass about 30 years ago, it has been around the world, and casts of it appear in a number of museums. Not many dinosaurs have the cache of a T-rex and few specimens are as complete as 'Black Beauty'. Brinkman says while the exhibit was completed in time for the 25th anniversary of the Tyrrell, he says it will remain at the museum for at least another year for visitors to enjoy. He hopes those who make the trek see more than some interesting specimens, but leave with a sense of their own place in history, time and diversity, and awareness of how ecologically interconnected the world is.

Dr. Don Brinkman is pleased with the public’s reception of Alberta Unearthed: 25 Years of Discovery.

its opening day to the modern years. He has assembled them into a collection he calls 25 Years of the Tyrrell Museum Education and Fun. “I wanted to show another part of the museum,” said Orosz, with his collection that reflects more of the human history of the museum. Orosz’s first contract with the Museum was the creation of the exhibits in the Science Hall. These were hands on exhibits that demonstrated scientific principles. He and others toiled away at the former Co-op building, now Reptile World in downtown Drumheller, building the exhibits in anticipation of the opening of the museum. These stayed in the museum for years and thousands and of youngsters have pulled, pushed and squeezed the exhibits, and more importantly, learned. “The kids enjoyed these; they were demonstrations of science, rather than just looking and reading,” said Orosz. These former exhibits are featured prominently in Oro-

sz’s display. They include the famous swimming squid, the falling bell demonstrating buoyancy, a sorting and settling demonstration and an exhibit demonstrating light refraction. There is also an extensive collection of newspaper clippings. Everything from opening day to The Great Dinosaur Adventure Expo, in 1990 in Japan, in which a number of Tyrrell Museum personnel took part. All of these feature faces from the community past and present who were involved in the museum. There is also a collection of promotional items, historic T-shirts, uniforms and even a Tyrrell Terrasaurs slo-pitch team uniform. Other items that may look familiar include the original benches from the gallery, and even a display case that Orosz built for his display was constructed from some of the original ash handrails. Orosz’s exhibition is on display at Drumheller Freson IGA.

ATCO Learning Centre gets kids hands-on

Walking the gallery of the Royal Tyrrell Museum does much for the imagination, but at the end of a tour one may find themself eager to get dirty and hands-on like the palaeontologists who discovered the fossils dotting Alberta.

The ATCO Learning Centre opened in 2003 and has been offering school classes indepth immersion unlike most other museums. “Out in the gallery you can only do so much as far as hands-on goes,” says Tyrrell science educator Jennifer

Dick, who’s been with the museum for three years. “It offers us the opportunity to get the kids to hold and touch and connect with palaeontology.” Schools bring students in to do a number of activities in the centre’s four classrooms,

from digging up ancient turtle fossils using the same dentist’s pick and toothbrush a palaeontologist would use, learning how to identify past life using a state-of-the-art SMART Board, to even camping in the halls of the famed museum for a night with their friends. “I think it draws a lot of people into the museum who wouldn't necessarily come in,” Dick said. “I know education has been a big part of the Tyrrell since it started, but before, we didn’t have the facilities to offer these kinds of opportunities.” ATCO was keen to support an Alberta-based effort. “The Tyrrell Museum and learning centre fit perfectly with ATCO’s philosophy of improving the life of the communities we serve,” said Siegfried Kiefer, Managing Director of Utilities at ATCO Ltd. “It’s one of those sights you just have to see, I know whenever I have relatives come visit me it’s a for sure item on our agenda for at least a day.” ATCO, an Alberta-based corporation in the business of power generation, utilities, and global enterprises decided to sponsor the learning centre earlier this decade.

“The Tyrrell approached us with an idea for a learning centre, it struck a chord with us and we jumped on board,” said Kiefer. The centre won numerous awards in 2009. The Distance Learning Program won a Canadian Museums Association Outstanding Achievement in Education Award; the webbased version of Cretaceous Crime Scene won an American Association of Museums Honorable Mention; and the Distance Learning Promotional Video won an American Association of Museums Bronze Award. Programs at the Tyrrell run every week, and in 2009 eleven different programs were each offered over 1500 times, to approximately 37,000 visitors from 41 countries. Over 20,000 students have been through the learning centre, being educated on the “wonders of our history,” said Kiefer. But all these awards and statistics about the success of the ATCO Learning Centre is not what it’s about. “The kids just love it here, for the most part they all want to be here.”

ROYAL TYRRELL MUSEUM • 25 YEARS OF DISCOVERY 1985 - 2010

High school palaeontology course gives students chance to engage in valley history Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

In a town like Drumheller, you’d think that a palaeontology course would be one of the first option courses to be added to the high school curriculum.

students in the valley. “Word has spread, and it’s well received,” said Rasmussen about the program, which was introduced in 2006. “The interest has surprised me every year, and I would like to think that everyone

The Palaeontology 15 class developed by Drumheller Composite High School sciences teacher Jason Rasmussen was a joint effort with the Royal Tyrrell Museum, complementing the dinosaurs and past Earth Drumheller is exposed to constantly. inSide photo by Kyle Smylie

But it took decades before Drumheller Composite High School sciences teacher Jason Rasmussen was asked to put together Palaeontology 15, DCHS’ first venture into dinosaur-based education for

who’s taking it is out of pure and genuine intrigue about palaeontology.” Each year the Paleo 15 class has a full class of students ready to study the life of the planet, the rise and fall of the

ancient monsters the people of the valley know all too well. Rasmussen, the high school’s biology and science teacher, has always been interested in palaeontology, and when the Golden Hills School Division asked him to spend a summer prepping the course, he was all for it. The Royal Tyrrell Museum worked closely with him over the summer, helping develop the initial course outline. “The Tyrrell has been excellent in regards to offering workshops.” He had the honour of spending a summer “putting the flesh and bones” onto the course that went on to receive several awards for the program, and the interest is not only within Drumheller. “The palaeontology word has spread, and has been very well received in schools within and without the division,” Rasmussen said. He often teaches to other schools through video conferencing programs. “Outside of Drumheller, these interests are represented by the warm reception it’s received.” Designing the course has given Rasmussen the background and comfort to engage

the students with the same passion he’s found for the Earth’s past. “When you say paleontology, it is wrongfully synonymous with dinosaurs. It’s the study of past life.” With the overlap between the existing biology courses and palaeontology, Rasmussen said it’s one of the ideas that the educators at the museum and DCHS shared. It was intended to be a Grade 10 introductory course, and acts as a gateway to the other high school sciences. The principles taught in Paleo 15 tie in directly with the Bio 20, Chem 20, or the Science 10 curriculum. “When you start talking about radiometric dating of carbon-14, there is an obvious tie in to chemistry. “There are a lot of scientific doors opened through the paleontologic medium." For now, Paleo 15 has been approved as a continuing course to be offered at the school, and it fills the classroom to the maximum limit every semester. “Paleo 15 is alive and strong.” Palaeontology 25 had been developed, not by Rasmussen,

and offered once, and it can be offered again if the resources are available. The thought is to eventually develop a Palaeontology 35 course which could allow students to earn credits at post-secondary institutions, but for now Paleo 15 is satisfying both the teachers' and students' needs. “I don’t understand how someone wouldn’t be intrigued about the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period... If that doesn’t get you thinking about what and how the creatures survived, that’s alien to me. These things should be universal.” Palaeontology is a natural choice for DCHS, and other area schools, to offer their students. Every person living in Drumheller is directly or indirectly exposed to paleontology in their day-to-day lives, whether it be the cheekily coloured dinosaurs that dot the roadways or the legion of tourists climbing the mouth of the dinosaur who constantly watches over the Red Deer River valley, the people here live it.

Two year sentence for drug possession at institution Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

An inmate serving at the Drumheller Institution is facing two more years after corrections officers discovered a cache of morphine in his cell. James Richard White, 25, appeared in provincial Court in Drumheller on Friday, September 10. He pleaded guilty to possession for the purposes of trafficking. The court heard how on September 9 of last year, White was a serving inmate at the Drumheller Institution when corrections officers noticed suspicious activity in his cell. Officers asked him to exit his cell to search. He became excited and aggressive. Officers located 25 red pills. His person was later searched and it revealed another pill. The pills were confirmed to be 200 mg morphine pills. Judge Grieve sentenced him to two years consecutive to any other sentence he is currently serving.

The Horse Sale

T

The Holy Cross Rev. Alan Getty

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM www.baxterblack.com

here was a horse sold this summer down in Missouri. Probably the most famous horse in the world…Trigger. RFD-TV paid a lot of money to own the mounted figure of this celebrity equine, Roy Rogers’ Paramount Palomino. They also purchased his dog Bullet. They did it for the sentimental value, but also to recognize an era when kids had good heroes to look up to. I like horses. I like pretty horses, but like most cowboys, I like good horses. Even the roughest, no-nonsense workin’ cowboy could look at Roy Rogers and say, “Well…he rode good horses.” I am of the age that can remember when Roy Rogers was King of the Hollywood cowboys. To my misfortune, I thought at the time, we didn’t have a television and didn’t go to the movies! But we did have radio and through it, Roy and Dale, Pat Brady and Nellybelle, Gabby, Trigger, Buttercup and Bullet became part of my idiom. Think about it. When you can still recognize somebody’s voice in speech or song that you became acquainted with in grade school, that’s a pretty deep impression. RFD-TV buying Trigger and Bullet kinda makes me feel good. It means there’s still a place, outside of my mind, that I can go and be in the company of such fine animals. Animals and their keepers, who represented the kind of people we could aspire to be. In my mind I can’t separate the animals from the humans. I can’t think of Roy without thinking ‘bout Trigger. It’s hard to explain to teens today that being a good person pays off. Instant technology and instant answers to almost any question can be found on the

internet. The one question that the internet can’t answer is “What’s the right thing to do?” That’s what Roy taught us. He and Hoppy, Rex, Gene, Cisco, Lone, Sky, Bobby Benson and the B bar B Riders and their great sidekicks. In their simple parables they showed us the difference between good and bad, between right and wrong. They led us to believe that the Code of the West boils down to “doin’ the right thing.” That it was real, had value and was worth living and dying for. I mentioned Roy’s voice. If he called me on the phone tonight I’d recognize him immediately. If he asked me what was goin’ on I’d tell him about the great honor that we have paid his horse and his dog. And that we still think about him, that kids are still watchin’ his old movies, because there’s still a market for heroes in our kids and grandkids. I’d also mention that many of us appreciate that in his private life he lived up to the image of his movie character. A decent man. That’s not a bad way to be remembered. Of course, speakin’ of bein’ remembered, there’s the horse sale Haythorn’s horse Profit sold for $50,000, I took a paint gelding in trade for a speakin’ job, and RFDTV paid $266,600 for Trigger. They also bought Bullet for $35,000. You’d have thought at that price they’d have throwed Bullet in for free!

As Anglicans we have many wonderful rituals and traditions often deeply rooted in Scripture and ancient church practice. These churchish customs are designed to lead us deeper into the presence of God as we worship together in our common liturgy. But all too often these rich and meaningful acts of worship fall short of their intended purpose because we fail to realize, or more appropriately remember, what it is we are doing and why we are doing it. A perfect example of this Anglican amnesia is Holy Cross Day. If you know what holy day I’m talking about, you’re already ahead of the game. If however, you do not; don’t despair, you’re not alone. In fact, most Anglicans don’t know what Holy Cross day is or why it’s important. This however will not remain the case, at least not here, as we will explore together the significance of this much neglected Feast Day. As you may already know, Holy Cross Day (also known as, Exaltation of the Cross) is a Holy Day celebrated in both the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) and The Book of Alternative Services (BAS) calendars on September fourteenth. But what is the significance of this, and why do we celebrate it on September 14th every year? The best and most concise answer to these questions comes from one of our very own liturgical texts. The book For all the Saints: Proper of the Church Year and Biographical Sketches for Saints’ Days explains it thus: “Early in the fourth century the emperor Constantine took the Christian Church under his protection, and to show his imperial benevolence he ordered a grand church to be built in Jerusalem. The site he chose was Gol’gotha, the hill where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified and buried. It had once stood outside the city walls, but before the time of Constantine the hill had been levelled and buried under tons of debris. The entire area had to be excavated for Constantine’s new church, and the emperor put his mother Helena in charge of the work. In the course of digging the labourers discovered a large beam; and the authorities soon decided that it was a remnant of the

very same cross on which the Lord had been crucified. Portions of this beam were enshrined near the altar of the new church when it was dedicated in honour of the Resurrection on September fourteenth in the year 335; and ever since then, in the East and in the West, Christians have kept this date as Holy Cross Day. Jesus was crucified at the time of year when people in the northern hemisphere prepare the earth for planting. But September is harvest, our time for reaping and sharing what the earth, under our care, has brought forth. Just so with our remembrance of the Holy Cross. On Good Friday we recalled its planting at the seed time of the new creation; and now, on the verge of autumn, we look for Christ, the true Vine which the Cross supported, to bear the fruit of justice and mercy not only in our own lives but also in the dealings of the world.” And so it is to this day we see the fruits of this in our world. That same church that was commissioned by Constantine stands to this day in Jerusalem and it still draws that faithful and inspires them in their faith. I am blessed to be one of those who has visited the church of the Holy Sepulcher, and it has changed me in ways that would not find justice in the space of this article. But the power of God to change lives is real, and we are meant to encounter that transformative power of God every day, but especially on holy days like Holy Cross Day. Did those labourers from so long ago truly find the cross of Christ? Maybe, maybe not. God only knows for certain. But what we can know for certain is this; in celebrating Holy Cross Day we not only join with our ancestors in the faith, the great cloud of witnesses which has gone before us, in worship, but we remember that it is through Christ on the Cross that we have our salvation. The BAS reminds us that “the liturgy of the Church celebrates but one mystery: the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.” And it is the cross that has come to symbolize this mystery for Christians around the globe. Take up your cross and follow Him!

Getting Tough on Crime Kevin Sorenson, M.P., Crowfoot Parliamentary Report

Last week, Public Safety Minister the Honourable Vic Toews, asked me, as our local Member of Parliament, to make the formal announcement that Correctional Service of Canada is investing in increased capacity within the Drumheller Institution and Bowden Institution, both federal penitentiaries. This additional capacity is part of our Conservative Government’s plan to help ensure that criminals serve sentences that reflect the severity of their crimes. In my speech, I emphasized that our government takes very seriously our responsibility to build stronger, safer communities across Canada. That is why we are investing in the resources that members of the law enforcement community have been telling us they need to protect victims and make Canadian streets safer. For example, we have hired over 1,000 additional RCMP personnel as part of our efforts to combat crime. We are also preventing crime by helping at-risk youth make smart choices and avoid getting involved with criminal activity. Last year alone we funded 152 community based crime prevention programs in which nearly 10,000 at-risk youth participate. Our goal is to steer vulnerable children and youth away from a life of crime. Part of keeping our communities safe is keeping dangerous criminals behind bars until they have served their time – not releasing them into our streets automatically, and before they are ready. Canadians are often shocked when they hear that some criminals are currently being released into our communities after serving as little as one-sixth of the sentence handed down by the courts. The $15 million to increase inmate capacity within Drumheller Institution will

help ensure that criminals serve sentences that reflect the severity of their crimes. This year, our government passed legislation that limits credit for time served in pre-sentence custody and we ended the practice which disproportionately reduced prison sentences for violent offenders. We understand there is a cost to keeping dangerous criminals behind bars, and we believe that is a cost worth paying. As your Member of Parliament, I delivered my speech with all the confidence of my constituents who - over many years - have voiced their strong support for these kinds of measures. I thank you for standing up for your beliefs and making your views clear to me as your federal elected representative. We disagree with those whose view it is that dangerous criminals should be released onto our streets early just to save money. In 2003, the Department of Justice estimated that crime in Canada cost approximately $70 billion. The pain and suffering of victims and their families is immeasurable. It does cost money to deal with serious criminals. But the overall cost to the safety and well being of individuals, families, communities and society in failing to do so costs so much more. Our government is willing to invest the resources necessary to help ensure dangerous criminals don’t create new victims or terrorize previous ones. I am pleased that we are delivering on our ‘get tough on crime’ election promise. We are committed to placing the interests of victims ahead of the interests of criminals.

High school duffers compete Sabres show bright signs in home opener Patrick Kolafa | not going to win many games if you don’t at zonesPatrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

QUOTE

Drumheller student athletes opened the school sports season by competing at the golf zone championships. In all, two teams from DCHS and two teams from St. Anthony’s School competed in tournament play on Tuesday, September 14 in Carstairs, facing blustery conditions. The DCHS girl’s team of Nikki Broom, Paula Wade, Karissa Reid and Ally Campbell played well. According to coach Dan Hird, they missed out on a bronze medal by four strokes. The boy’s team of Sean Davies, Jarred Potter, Shane Gwinner and Mitchell Toffan finished in the middle of the pack. Hird says because members of the boys team all play hockey and were busy with fall tryouts, they were not able to get much practice time on the links. At St. Anthony’s, Madison Colberg finished in the top 10. Jessie Carrier also competed well. Michelle Fournier coached the girl’s team. Jay Mulgrew coached the boy’s team made up of Brandon Gruber, Andrew Stedman, Conner Bosch and Ryan Cardamone. They also played well finishing in the pack with all bettering a score of 100.

The St. Anthony’s Sabres senior girls soccer team hosted their first game of the season on Tuesday, September 14, and while the result looked lopsided, the team played to win. “In the second half we came out strong again, we were all over them… but we couldn’t finish again.” Gavin Makse

The Sabres took the field versus Foothills Composite of Okotoks. Coach Gavin Makse said the Sabres failed to capitalize on a number of very good scoring chances, and saw Foothills Composite run away with the win, 4-0. “We have to finish. We had a couple break aways, and a couple chances inside the box,” said Makse. The Sabres were on the attack throughout the first half. A short bench hurt them with untimely substitutions, and Foothills Composite scored two goals in the last two minutes of the first half. “In the second half we came out strong again, we were all over them… but we couldn’t finish again,” said Makse. “We didn’t get any breaks that game, but you are

score any goals.” Foothills Composite is the largest school in the league, and was able to carry 18 on their squad, while the Sabres have just a handful of substitutes on the bench. Last year, Foothills won the zone championship. Despite these strengths, Makse said the Sabres proved they could play along side the best teams in the league. “Wow, it is finally evident we are the same age and grade as these other schools, and they might be that much bigger than us and have 30 kids trying out for their team, but we can definitely compete with them, and we know we can beat them,” said Makse. It is a short season for soccer. On Thursday, September 16 they were slated to play Highwood High School in High River, and then this coming Tuesday, September 21, they play Holy Trinity Academy of Okotoks. Next weekend, September 24 and 25 the Sabres host its third annual Senior Sabres Invitational Soccer Tournament and have invited five teams from the league to play. The Sabres’ Friday game versus Canmore will also double for its league game. The Sabres’ first game of the tournament is Friday at 10 a.m. versus Strathmore.
