Leigh Wonnacott “It’s a huge waste of money, and they’re delusional if they think it works.”

Over a year after the initial drafting, the Drumheller Municipal Sustainability Plan will be brought in front of town council this coming Monday for ﬁnal decision on its implementation into the community.

The plan addresses the ﬁve dimensions of a sustainable community including environment, economy, society, culture and governance. Each “pillar”, as called in the document, was then analyzed to determine issues, the town’s level of success in those areas, and the current situation. “The beneﬁts of this plan is that it provides direction for council and the community, to determine what is important to us, and to make sure all those things are considered before plans are made,” Romanetz said. “The input from the community will be reviewed to see if anything needs to be added to the plan, and council will be presented with the revised document on September 27.” The full Municipal Sustainability Plan can be accessed online at the Town of Drumheller’s website, www.dinosaurvalley.com.

Romanetz said the meeting had been constructive in gathering the thoughts of the community. “There was a good cross-section of the community there, I think the basic thing was that the plans provide a big picture for the community,” said Romanetz. According to the document, one of the reasons to draft a Municipal Sustainability Plan is to help communities gain access to the New Deal For Cities and Communities, or the Gas Tax Fund. For communities to continue to access the maximum funding available from the federal government, all municipalities will have to develop an integrated Community Sustainability Plan. “Once it is in place, before council makes any decisions regarding what they do with land use or infrastruc-

the general election was held and largely a new council was elected. “Terry (Yemen) and I had that approximate year in there, but for all intents and purposes we were still rookies. Andrew (Berdahl) and Blaine (McDonald) were complete rookies, Karen (Bertamini) was a veteran and Sharel (Shoﬀ ) was in her second term,” he said, adding that Don Guidolin, while he had previous experience, was also fairly new to the game. Adding to the challenge early on was the decision on sending water to the Balzac development, and the loss of

Time is winding down on Bryce Nimmo’s tenure as mayor. After three and a half years at the helm, he is getting ready to retire from the position. He took a moment with inSide Drumheller to reflect on his term in office. Mayor Nimmo was elected in a by-election in January 2007, following the departure of former mayor Paul Ainscough who resigned mid-way through his mandate. “I was very concerned that council could not have had a mayor,” he said. “I wanted to feel I could contribute by being there.” It wasn’t easy, as the council of the day was fragmented, and in the beginning, the main focus was to make council function and move forward. “In the first year, we got through it. We were able to accomplish the necessary things we needed to accomplish in that time. Perhaps we were not able to move the town ahead as much as you would have liked to in that time, but it was awkward to do it,” he said. In the fall of the same year,

three key directors in administration. “Michael Roy, Paul Salvatore and Al Kendrick all came on, so they were rookies too,” said Nimmo. With all these challenges, council did function and made progress on a number of fronts. There were major infrastructure upgrades to the solid waste facility, the wastewater treatment plant, as well as continual upgrades at the water treatment plant.

a help to the incoming mayor and council,” he said. The one highlight that stands out for Nimmo in his time in service is the Badlands Community Facility. “That is a feather in the cap, ﬁrst of all for the council that made the decisions and the town for backing them too,” said Nimmo. “Your infrastructure items are a necessity, and they will set the town up for 30 years, but that (the facility) is the biggest change.

“It is going to be a game changer, you are going to have conferences in this town you never had before, you are going to have money coming in to the town for a facility that you did not have before. You are going to have that facility available for locals they never had before, and this is only a start,”

It was also this council that approved a ﬁve-year plan to replace cast iron water lines in the downtown area. Following the improvements of the water treatment plant, the council was charged with making a decision on water rate structures. “The town had to pay for a good portion of the treatment plant upgrades, there is no question we had support from grants but they did not cover it 100 per cent. We had to go through the whole rate structure. It has to recover the cost and be self-sustaining, and so we had to set up a rate structure that does that job, but at the same time is spread evenly among the citizens,” said Nimmo. “These weren’t easy decisions but we made them.” He commends administration for its tireless work on these issues. “It has been a particular pleasure to work with Ray Romanetz, the knowledge that he has, and his foresight was a real help to me, and will be

That will be the thing that will keep the town abreast of other communities, facilities and lifestyle that people aren't able to get in other places.” “It is going to be a game changer, you are going to have conferences in this town you never had before, you are going to have money coming in to the town for a facility that you did not have before. You are going to have that facility available for locals they never had before, and this is only a start,” he said. “It will be good for the whole area.” While he is not involved in the present election, he is watching it carefully, and said candidates need to be forward thinking. “The only thing I can say is don’t worry about the past, let’s learn from it, but the future is what we have to work with, because that’s what other communities are doing, and we have to make sure we are there as a place people want to live,” he said.

Public input sought for Tourism Master Plan Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

The Town of Drumheller is looking for public input into its Tourism Master Plan before it is ﬁnalized. The Town, along with a local steering committee has been working with consultants to develop a Tourism Master plan for the area. They are planning a public workshop to help develop the plan with community input. The Town has been working on the master plan for quite some time. “There has never been a Tourism Master Plan for Drumheller,” said Economic Development oﬃcer Ray Telford. “There are so many peo-

ple involved in tourism in our town, and we all have great ideas, and we all worked really hard… but a lot of the information has never been funnelled into one source. That is why we want to do the Tourism Master Plan so that all of the information, all of the ideas would be in one document.” Some of the key items they want to look at include downtown transportation needs, the trail systems and open spaces, as well as the eﬀect of the community centre as a visitor facility. The plan also looks at existing policy as it eﬀects tourism, and the development of more tourism. “Are there opportunities to

develop more attractions? We want to talk about how to extend the tourism season, and any gaps in retail services. From a transportation perspective we want to look at some of the signage here,” said Telford. “We want to make sure everything is consistent.” He said the consultant contracted has done a lot of research on the history and present situation in Drumheller, and the pubic input will help develop a plan for the future. “Now when we do the pubic consultation, we are able to say, ‘We know this information, what do we have to do to get us to where we want to be in 5-10 -15 years?’” said Tel-

ford. The public workshop is on Wednesday, September 29 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Civic Centre. The purpose is to explain the Tourism Master Plan, identify community concerns and expectations with respect to tourism devel-

opment and engage the community in the development of the master plan. There will be break out sessions on transportation, policy, marketing, product/business development and downtown revitalization.

Diary of Adam and Eve brings Twain to life in Rosebud submitted | inSide Drumheller

Mark Twain’s gloriously funny take on our two oldest biblical ancestors will be enchanting audiences at Rosebud’s Studio Stage October 6-8. “The Diary of Adam and Eve (an adaptation by Mark Bucci), follows Adam and Eve as they encounter the ups and downs of being the world’s ﬁrst couple living together in paradise,” explains Heather Pattengale, the show’s producer. “It’s a hilarious and touching love story, as rich in wisdom as it is in wit.” Under the skilful direction of Morris Ertman (Oliver!, Mary’s Wedding, Fiddler on the Roof), Rosebud Theatre favourite Nathan Schmidt (Oliver!, Damien, Fiddler on the Roof) and Rosebud up-and-comer Heather Pattengale (We Won’t Pay! We Won’t Pay!, Mary’s Wedding, Fiddler on the Roof) go headto-head as Adam and Eve in this wry battle of the sexes. The Diary of Adam and Eve is the culmination of Pat-

tengale’s time as a student at Rosebud School of the Arts, and is being produced as her Final Project. “It was Morris Ertman who encouraged me to see this

project as an opportunity to invest in something that I believe in and will be proud of; a way to end my time at Rosebud School of the Arts with huge and beautiful expression of who I am and what I want to give to the world,” says Pattengale. “I took his advice to heart

and for this project I’ve chosen to tell a story that resonates with my soul and I’ve surrounded myself with people whom I love and admire and am excited to work with. It is inspiring, albeit intimidating, to be surrounded by such amazing artists, all of whom are willing to support me as I come to the end of my program.” An especially important member of the team is Heather’s husband, Paul Zacharias, who is composing an original score for the show. The Diary of Adam and Eve runs October 6 to 8 at Rosebud Studio Stage. October 6 and 7 are 7:00 p.m. starts October 8 is a 6:00 p.m. start. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or by calling 403.677.2531. Are you seeing The Road To Mecca at Rosebud Theatre on Friday October 8?

Voters encouraged to cast ballots in October election Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Current mayor Bryce Nimmo discussed politics in Drumheller with the Social 10 students at Drumheller Composite High School Tuesday. Voter turn

The number of Alberta citizens who head out to vote has always been less than spectacular. With candidates for the Drumheller Municipal Election beginning their campaigns this week following Nomination Day, residents in Drumheller who’d otherwise not vote are being encouraged to voice their choice of who’ll sit in the offices so close to home. In 2007’s municipal election, only 37.82 per cent of Drumheller’s eligible voters made it out to the polls. Of 6,380 eligible voters in the valley, only 2,413 came out to cast their ballots. “It’s unfortunately common in Alberta,” said Mayor Bryce Nimmo, who will not be seeking re-election this October. “Only a third of the people -out for Drumheller’s 2007 municipal election was only 37.82 per cent, an unfortunate figure common are making the decision for the other two-thirds.” across Alberta. inSidephoto by Kyle Smylie The number of voters turning out for federal and provincial elections are significantly higher than at the municipal levels, but the offices here are much closer to home and the impact of who claims seat in Drumheller’s chambers can be felt much harder than seats

Lori Stefanishion inSide Drumheller Food Columnist Harvest time It’s that time of year to enjoy the fruits of our labours from our gardens, plus that sweet Taber corn. It is becoming common to see people using alternatives to just butter and salt on corn-on-the-cob these days. I have a friend who likes various types of mustard on her corn. I had this recipe, which was intended for roast, but I thought she would enjoy it spread on her corn. (I find it a nice dip for sweet potato fries, too). This would also be delicious on asparagus.

Mustard Aioli 2/3 cup mayonnaise 2 Tbsp grainy mustard 1 Tbsp fresh parsley 1 tsp lemon juice Mix all together and let stand about an hour before serving for flavours to blend. Here is a good use for the leftover cobs of corn when you find you’ve made too much.

Grilled Creamed Corn 5 cups of corn, removed from about 8 cobs 2 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 1 1/4 cups milk 3 Tbsp cream cheese salt and pepper pinch of cayenne pepper

Make a basic white sauce by melting the butter, then whisk in flour until combined and foaming - about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk milk and cheese, cooking until smooth and thick- about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the corn kernels and season. Cook to heat through for a minute. And now, if you find you have made too much creamed corn, you can keep going and make corn fritters! Adjust proportions accordingly: 1 ½ cups creamed corn ½ cup finely chopped onion 1/3 cup breadcrumbs 2 beaten eggs 1 tsp baking powder. Mix together and drop by 1/4 cupfuls into a pan of hot grease. Press down and fry on both sides to a nice, crispy brown. Here is a nice change of pace with beets from the garden - very easy and oh so good!

Garlic Beets 6 medium beets 3 Tbsp. oil 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar 2 cloves garlic, crushed salt Wash beets, don’t cut or peel, boil until tender - about 45 minutes. Run under cold water and slip the skins off. Trim tops and slice. Toss with remaining ingredients. I found these to be more flavourful the next day, but were also good right away.

Windmill makes best birthday present ever for Norma Hawthorne Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Norma Hawthorne received the birthday present of a life-

time, and that was to restore a 64 year old view that had been lost since March. Norma grew up and cur-

rently lives on her family’s homestead near Dalum. Her grandparents broke the land in 1919. In 1946, her parents installed a windmill to pump water for the family use and to water stock. It has stood there ever since. She appreciated it as a youngster because when it wasn’t running, the kids had to manually pump the water. She appreciates it as an adult for its vista. She has taken numerous pictures of the windmill at sunrise, sunset and in different seasons, plastering the walls of her office at HB Industries in Drumheller. The family used the windmill for 30 years. After it outlived its purpose, it remained standing in her yard. The pump rod has long since disappeared and a few years ago it was getting worn out and she had the gears welded fixed. She continued to enjoy her windmill. That all came crashing down, literally, earlier this year. She noticed last September after a windstorm the brakes had broken free. It began turning off centre, and then on March 12, at 6:30 p.m. she was home when the finned wheel hit the tower and broke

oﬀ. The wheel plummeted and it was the end of an era. She took the wheel and tacked to a granary. This summer her daughter Wendy Lambert and her partner Richard from B.C. were in town. Richard climbed up a 40-foot ladder to the top of tower to have a look, to see if could be ﬁxed, but Norma knew it was a fruitless endeavour. That was until Friday, September 10. Just before she was about to break for lunch at the shop, a man came to her shop asking if she could look at some machinery. Thinking it was a welding job, she called her employee, Cory Henrickson, to have a look. He came out, and returned quickly telling her she had to come out. Somewhat exasperated, she came out and saw her daughter and son-in-law standing beside a truck from Nebraska, and in it, a windmill. She began to put the pieces together. Richard went up the tower earlier in the season to get some part numbers, and the story unfolded. It turns out Wendy and Richard sourced the expertise of David Straub. The 73-yearold is an antique dealer who

also restores windmills near Syracuse, Nebraska. He had a refurbished Dempster brand windmill. In fact, Dempster manufactured the windmill about 18 miles from where Straub lives. When it came time for delivery, he and his wife decided not to holiday at the Grand Canyon, and instead came to Canada. The wheels were in place. This was an unusually sunny September day this year, with no wind, and Drumheller Equipment had already delivered a Genie Lift to install the new head. The crew headed out to the farm for the reconstruction. It didn’t take long to realize they needed a picker truck because of the sheer size of the wheel, and Dan’s Oilﬁeld was able to deliver, even on a Friday after 3 p.m. The new head was installed, Wendy and Richard headed back to BC, and the Straubs visited Banﬀ and Lake Louise before heading home. For Norma, the landscape is back to normal after receiving the best birthday present ever. So when the perfect sunrise in Dalum appears on the horizon, she’ll be out there with her camera to shoot it, and her windmill.

Valley’s visitor numbers sink, dreary weather blamed Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Tourism figures thus far have fallen short of last year's, with many valley attractions reporting a drop in visitation. Wet weather has been to blame for the drop. inSide file photo

Cool and wet weather may be to blame for a drop in visitation figures at a number of Drumheller’s tourist attractions. Heavy rain and chilly weeks accompanied with a recovering economy didn’t help the tourism sector's numbers this year. Although early before the season ends for most attractions, numbers were slightly down – but nothing to be alarmed with. The World’s Largest Dinosaur saw a drop of 12 per cent in the amount of people who climbed to the mouth of Drumheller’s iconic attraction. General Manager of the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce Heather Bitz speculates the source of the slowdown has a few causes. “The weather definitely played a part, but also maybe something specific to the World’s Largest Dinosaur was the road work on the water main that went on this summer,” said Bitz. So far this year, from Jan-

uary to the end of August, 91,519 people visited the visitor centre, compared to 104,497 for the same period last year. The World’s Largest Dinosaur is open year round, with the fall months’ visitor numbers being “fairly steady”, comparable to May’s and June’s. The Atlas Coal Mine is speculating this year’s numbers may be the second-best ever, following last year’s record high in tourists visiting one of few

Conservative Party maintains pledge to scrap long-gun registry KEVIN SORENSON • MP Crowfoot Constituency PARLIAMENTARY REPORT

Kevin Sorenson, MP says he shares the disappointment of his constituents that the coalition majority of Opposition votes in the House of Commons has supported keeping the long-gun registry. Sorenson says, “Of all the accomplishments our Conservative government has delivered since 2006, the scrapping of the long-gun registry is one that we have yet to achieve. I am proud that my Conservative colleagues stand in solidarity immediately pledging to continue our eﬀorts to scrap the failed and costly registry after we all voted to scrap it and lost.” Twenty Coalition MPs originally supported the simple and straightforward bill to scrap the long-gun registry, but under pressure from their Ottawa bosses they turned their backs on their constituents and voted to keep the registry. The Conservative Party does not believe in treating law-abiding hunters, farmers, and sports shooters as criminals. Sorenson says, “This is

the furthest we have come to dismantling the $2 billion wasteful and ineﬀective long-gun registry. We are as close to forming a majority government as we have ever been and scrapping the registry remains one of the goals that a majority of votes in Parliament will deliver.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said, “The people of the regions of this country are never going to accept being treated like criminals, and we will continue our

eﬀorts until this registry is ﬁnally abolished. After 15 years, opposition to the long-gun registry is stronger in this country than it has ever been.” Sorenson concludes, “The original purpose of the registry was to reduce crime - it has failed. Canadian taxpayers want the money spent to maintain it spent on measures that target criminals instead of criminalizing farmers, duck hunters and rural Canadians.”

remaining mine structures. Program Director Jay Russell also blames the dreary weather Drumheller got soaked with for the drop in numbers. “When it was sunny and warm, we were extremely busy, but when the rain came, things slowed down signiﬁcantly.” Farmers are not the only ones wishing for warm weather, as the Atlas hopes things will heat up before they shut down for the season around Thanksgiving.

Sudoku Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
