Sorenson, Parker, Turner show for federal political forum on Tuesday

Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Crowfoot riding candidates from the Conservatives, New Democratic Party, and an inde-pendent were fi elding questions from Drumheller residents at the federal political forum on Tuesday night. Conservative Kevin Sorenson, NDP Ellen Parker, and indepen-dent John C. Turner attended the forum. Liberal Omar Harb and Green Party candidate Kon-rad Schellenberg did not attend the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce spon-sored event. Munson resident and in-dependent candidate John C. Turner was the fi rst to provide his opening remarks, saying he was running because he had lost faith in the current Conserva-tive government. Turner said in August 2009, a “former lady friend” of his was sexually assaulted by a “Repub-lican terrorist in Northern Ire-land”, and despite hundreds of letters to members of govern-ment, including the Minister of National Defence, he had yet to receive a single response. “I have lost faith in our Con-servative government,” Turner said, after explaining he holds conservative ideologies but would not vote for the Harper government. “We are spending millions of dollars protecting people in Afghanistan and Libya but the Canadian government won’t help a Canadian army veteran in need to help a defenseless lady, who's only crime, so to speak, was knowing a person who was actively pursuing a career as a police offi cer with the police service of Northern Ireland,” Turner said. “Th at’s why I won’t forget you if you have a problem, regard-less of the issue. My platform is about accountability and how the government spends our tax money.”

Conservative incumbent Kevin Sorenson, the most ex-perience candidate having been representing Crowfoot since 2000 and re-elected with a 82.5 per cent popular vote in 2006, followed Turner. Sorenson said the two big-gest issues he’s heard while door knocking on this campaign were the people being displeased with another election, and the recession. “We’re disappointed about that,” he said about $300 million spent on this election, the fourth one in seven years. “But the fi rst issue they were afraid about was the issue about the coalition.” Sorenson went on to say the Conservative government has been the strongest reason Cana-da held strong through the 2008 recession. “Canada, with prudent fi scal

responsibility, was the last to go into a recession and the fi rst to come out.” He went on to say that con-fi dence by foreign investors in Canada has driven our econo-my and the Conservatives have been spending on lasting proj-ects in Canada. He said, "Th e question is lead-ership: do you trust the lead-ership of the coalition or the continued, steady hand of the government of Canada under the hand of Stephen Harper?” NDP candidate Ellen Parker, a Camrose resident and “edu-cator and community activist” who holds a Bachelor of Educa-tion degree in home economics, began her opening statement citing social achievements by former NDP leader Tommy Douglas, such as medicare, pen-sion reform, balanced budget and employment insurance re-form.

“Th is election happened be-cause of contemptive charges put towards the Harper admin-istration, this has never hap-pened in any parliament in any other Commonwealth country. We have another black mark internationally because of that,” Parker said. “We do see Ottawa’s broken, and Jack Layton is ready to fi x it. He’s ready to be Prime Minister, he knows what that means and understands it’s a government for you, the people – families trying to make ends meet. He knows that’s where to create real incentives for real job creators,” Parker said. Th e opening remarks were followed by the candidates fi eld-ing questions from residents. A video of the questions and responses can be viewed on Drumheller TV at www.drum-hellermail.com.

Three of Crowfoot’s fi ve candidates attended the political forum at the Kaleidoscope Theatre on Tuesday evening, put on by the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce. The NDP’s Ellen

Parker, Conservative incumbent Kevin Sorenson, and independent John C. Turner fi elded questions from constituents. Video of the forum is available at www.drumhellermail.com

Drumheller will be turning heads at this year’s Stampede Parade as the Mining Centen-nial committee was approved enter a fl oat at this year’s parade. Th e annual Stampede Parade is on July 8. By parade standards, the Rose Bowl Parade is the only one larger than the Stampede Parade, says its website. Th e committee is thrilled at the prospects.

“It’s more than exciting, it’s awesome,” said Mayor Terry Ye-men. He explains they submitted the application quite some time ago, but received confi rmation earlier this week. Th e Drumhell-er Institution is working on the exhibition, which will feature coal cars pulled by local ponies, and will be accompanied by about 10 marchers with wheel-barrows. Linda Digby of the Atlas Coal

Mine said it is great opportunity to showcase the valley. “Drumheller will have a great profi le in the Calgary Stampede this year. I think it will be a sur-prise to people in Calgary there are two sides of Drumheller, and I think it will provoke interest in coming to Drumheller this year. Everyone knows we are a di-nosaur town, but not everyone knows we are a coal town. It is a pretty sexy industry, and I think people will be interested in it,”

said Digby. Leanna Mohan of the planning committee said they are still in need of support in making it a reality. Th e volunteer commit-tee will be organizing the fl oat. All sort of logistics have to be planned, including transporting the fl oat into Calgary, walking the route, and tearing down. For more information, or how to get involved, contact Mohan at 403-820-6208.

Province grants $92,239 to 12 valley nonprofi tsKyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller

Twelve Drumheller non-profi t and volunteer organiza-tions will receive over $92,239 from the Alberta govern-ment’s Community Spirit Pro-gram in May, with the Passion Play receiving the maximum $25,000. Th e program, operated by the Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit, provides funds to organizations based on the value of donations they received from Albertans. “It shows we had a good bunch of people behind us in 2010,” said Passion Play gen-eral manager Vance Neudorf, adding the fact they received the maximum amount shows how cemented support for them is in Drumheller. “It’s something that local people take pride in.” Th e Heart to Heart Soci-ety of Drumheller received $7,426.60 from the program, which will go toward assisting those with heart health issues and providing heart related equipment to the Drumheller Health Centre. Th ey’ve re-ceived funds from the grant for the last three years. “It’s excellent,” said presi-dent Cliff Deitz, who said the chapter opened up in the late 1990s. “Nonprofi t and charitable organizations are able to re-spond to community needs with great fl exibility,” said Lindsay Blackett, Minister of Culture and Community Spir-it in a press release. “Th e donation grant helps optimize their donor contri-butions, while allowing them to use grant funding to sup-port operations, programs or capital projects – wherever they need it most.” Th e following groups also received funds from the Com-munity Spirit Program this year: Canadian Badlands Art-ists Association ($3,208.89), Dinosaur Trail Golf and Coun-

try Club ($1,841.40), Drum-heller and District Musical Festival Association ($1,863), Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle ($14,196.02), Friends of the Sunshine Lodge Committee ($2,182.50), Hand Hills Michif Cultural Society ($4,162.14), Royal Tyrrell Museum Coop-erating Society ($5,565.60), Drumheller Aquadinnies Swim Club ($4,016.29), Homestead Museum Society ($18,148.58), and the Town of Drumheller Library Board ($4,686.75). During the fi rst two years of the program, $38 million was distributed to 3,238 successful applicants throughout Alber-ta. For 2010-11, $14.9 million will be distributed to a further 1,792 grant recipients. Th e approved 2010 ap-plicants’ donations will be leveraged by having the fi rst $10,000 of their eligible cash donations matched at a level of 90 per cent. Individual cash donations that bring the to-tal from $10,001 to $25,000 are matched at a rate of 55 per cent; and donations that bring the total over $25,000 are matched at a rate of 15.11 per cent. When an organiza-tion raises donations totalling $78,371 (or more), it receives the maximum grant amount of $25,000. Cheques will be delivered to the recipients in May. Th e donation grant is avail-able to all eligible nonprofi t organizations and Canada Revenue Agency-registered charities incorporated and operating in Alberta for a minimum of one year. It is funded through the Alberta Lottery Fund. Budget 2011 confi rmed $16 million to continue the program in 2011-12. Th is proportional grant will vary year-to-year depending on the program’s available funds and the amount of total eli-gible cash donations received by eligible organizations.

While it seems the hous-ing market in the province has cooled, there is no sign the government of Alberta plans to change the Direct To Rent Supplement Pro-gram, says Lisa Clarke from Century 21 who is the ad-ministrator of Drumheller Housing Authority. Th e program, which started in 2007, has seen strong participation in Drumheller. According to the Housing Administra-tion, there are approximate-ly 120 families in Drumhell-er, Th ree Hills, Hanna, and surrounding areas who are taking advantage of the pro-gram. “As far as we know there

are no plans to stop it,” said Clarke. Th e program provides assistance to households in need by subsidizing rent. Ba-sically if more than a certain

percentage of your income goes to rent and housing ex-penses, you may be eligible for a subsidy. Your applica-tion then gets sent to Alberta Housing and Urban Aff airs where it is further assessed. Once qualifi ed, they will pay directly to an eligible tenant to assist with rental costs to subsidize the diff erence be-tween a negotiated market rent and 30 percent of the household adjusted income. Th is means the tenant is only expected to contrib-ute about one third of their household income to shelter. Th ose wanting to take advantage of the program can still do so by apply-ing through the Drum-heller Housing Authority in Drumheller at Century 21. Forms are available at Knee-hill Regional FCSS in Th ree Hills, and the Hanna Learn-ing Centre. For more information on the Direct To Tenant Rent Supplement Program call Lisa Clarke at 403-823-2121, email [email protected] or go to www.rentdrumheller.ca for more details.

A simple “like” click on Facebook could help the Charmont family as they deal with the most diffi -cult situation anyone could imagine. Father and son, Chris and John Charmont were killed in an explosion at a hotel in Mexico last November. Since then, the community has rallied for the family. Jen Olsen has found one more outlet to help support the family, and it is an Inter-net contest. She received word from a friend in Red Deer of the Urban Mortgage “$25K You Deserve It” contest. Th is contest allows people to log on and in video form tell their story on why they, or someone they know, deserve $25,000. Olsen decided to use the venue to make a plea

for the family. She mustered her courage and stepped in front of the camera. Th e short video has been up since about March, and has gained strong sup-port. “I didn’t realize it was sup-posed to be a video, but it was pretty easy to do when we got down to it,” said Ol-sen. Th e video has more than 560 “likes,” and the com-ments are very positive. It appears that of the 14 en-tries, Olsen’s video has the second highest vote count. Olsen encourages those interesting throwing their support behind the cam-paign to simply go to the site and cast your vote for the video. Th e contest closes on May 15. Th ree fi nalists will be selected, and then by May 31, a winner will be an-

nounced. “Th e judging will be based not only on votes, but also the story itself and creativ-ity,” said Olsen. With this in mind, she en-courages voters to not just click “like,” but to share their comments and tell how this would be the right choice and how the family deserves the prize. Olsen encourages ev-eryone to go to the Urban Mortgage facebook page to the video section and vote, and then share the link to the video. She said it is im-perative to go directly to the Urban Mortgage page to vote. “If you share the video and someone clicks ‘like’ those votes don’t count. You have to follow the link to Urban Mortgage to vote there,” she said.

Facebook “like” could win $25k for Charmont family

Jen Olsen entered a video in the Urban Mortgage “$25k You Deserve It” contest in support of the Charmont Family. Above is a screen cap-ture of her posting.

Motorists are advised that Highway 848 near Drum-heller has reopened. Extremely wet and muddy conditions in mid-March forced this gravel highway to close. Since that time, the highway has been re-shaped and regravelled and is suitable for travel. Th e re-opened portion is between its junction with Highway 570 to its junction with Highway 564.

Highway 848 reopens


As part of the May Day Cel-ebrations this weekend, the Drumheller Rotary Club and partners will be unveiling new placards through the valley shar-ing the history of mining. Th e Rotary has maintained the signs for years as a way to pre-serve the memories of the history of the valley. Of course, the rigors of time and weather have meant the signs have had to be repaired and replaced. Th is time they have sought out a stronger more re-silient material to replace the 18 cedar signs. Brent Pedersen explained to inSide Drumheller the new ma-

terial used is called Folia and is purported to be UV and graffi ti resistant. While the Rotary spearheaded the project, under the direction of Pedersen, Leo Jensen and Ron Rawlusyk, it has been a collabo-ration with a number of groups and businesses. Canalta has been a fi nancial partner for the signs. Th e Atlas Coal Mine helped with provid-ing better quality images and updating some of the historical information, and Royal Tyrrell Museum graphic designer Kelly Kuhl worked on the design and graphics. Hi-Way 9 Express was supportive by transporting and storing the signs.

Pedersen said HB Enterprises in Drumheller have also been a great support. Th ey have been repairing and modifying the steel frames for the new signs. Th e Alberta government’s Community Initiatives Fund also helped to support the project. On Sunday at 1 p.m. following the May Day March in Down-town Drumheller there will be a short program to introduce the new signs. A map guide to the signs that interpret Drumheller’s history will be distributed. After two decades of taking care of the signs, the Rotary has struck a deal with the Atlas Coal Mine, which will now take over the stewardship of the signs.

Rotary to unveil new historic driving tour signs at May Day

Be on guard for roguish behaviorTough looking lot, eh? Truth be told many of the miners of old days weren’t exactly refi ned sorts. There is no question that a few were a little rough around the edges, and liked to stir things up a bit. Rowdy behavior was expected on a Friday night,

and holidays when the spirits were high and fl ow-ing. Linda Digby of the Atlas Coal Mine says not to be surprised if a few of these “ruffi ans” show up at the May Day March this coming Sunday. The best thing to do is stand back.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, with so many things on your plate, it might seem as if nothing will ever get done. Sep-arate things into manageable lists and tackle each project one at a time.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, take a few moments to analyze your preferences in friends. Maybe you're being too stringent. It's time to open up the options and make a few new ones.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, there are so many fun things in store that you can't decide where to begin. Get started on the fun and make the most of the good times ahead.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, devote lots of time to hanging out with friends this week. Others will fl ock to you and want to be in your pres-ence. Enjoy the spotlight.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, without much on the dock-et, this week could prove a bit boring. Instead of focusing on the negative side of having a lot of time, relish in the relax-ation time.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Bad news arrives and catches you off guard, Virgo. Unless you can rebound quickly, it might take a lot of wind out of your sails for the time being.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Opportunities at work are many, Libra. You will be a rising star this week. Enjoy the noto-riety while it lasts. If your salary is commission-based, expect much.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, even though you try hard, you cannot control every-thing. You will have to go with the fl ow every now and then. It will help you develop a stronger character.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, it's time to put an end to an ongoing disagree-ment with a loved one. This feud is taking up too much energy that can be put toward better things.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, some people under-estimate your abilities, but you can be quite a force when you set your mind to it. Continue to surprise others with your tal-ents.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although you will be held accountable for some-thing going on at work, the ef-fects will actually work to your advantage. It's good to be in the limelight.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, concentration proves diffi cult but you have to buckle down and get some important tasks accomplished.

Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can ap-pear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure 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!Sponsored by

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcome by C. Aiello

If you have been watching the leaders of the opposition parties during this election campaign, it seems funny how they blame Stephen Harper and the Conservatives for the defi cit. Th ey do this out of one side of their mouth, and then promise to spend billions more (of as yet unfound) dol-lars on social programming. Th e Conservatives are running a defi cit be-cause that is the result of a minority government. Th e opposition doesn’t like your budget, with its tax credits, cuts to program spending, and con-traction of government in general. As liberals and socialists their aim is more spending, fewer tax cuts, more social programs, and an expansion of existing bureaucracies. To remain in government, a minority is forced to make concessions to the opposition and accede to some of their de-mands, the result being, a defi cit budget. In the last budget, with its tax cuts and program cuts, the opposition decided that the governing Conservatives had “lost the confi dence of the House”, triggering the election. Th e unfortunate thing is that Cana-dians on the whole hadn’t lost confi dence in the Conservatives or Ste-phen Harper to govern the country. In fact, when asked, the majority pick Harper and the Tories as the best at running the economy. Th e three dough headed opposition leaders didn’t lose confi dence, they just wanted to force an election, as this time Harper and the Conservatives weren’t willing to make any concessions. Want bigger government, more spend-ing, higher defi cits and more taxes? Vote Liberal or NDP and fi nd out what a real defi cit looks like.

Twelve players will return to the bantam Titan squad next year, as the team is strapping up and hitting the fi eld for the fi rst day of spring training on Monday. “I imagine we’ll struggle a little bit this year, we lost most of our experience,” explained head coach Paul Redmond, adding players are only bringing back one year of experience. “Hopefully we’ll make it to the tier 4 fi nals again.” Th e 12 players comprise just under half of the roster numbers Redmond would like to see on the team, but he says it’s typical that play-ers don’t step up until the season begins in the fall. “We usually do get pretty good numbers, but experi-ence counts for everything. I’d like to be seeing guys coming back with a couple years experience, but that’s

the way it goes. You typical-ly don’t have kids for more than a couple years,” Red-mond said. A number of alumni play-ers will be back to help coach during spring train-ing.

Th ey’ll be preparing for a tournament in Lacombe this spring, but the date has yet to be set. An exhibition game is also in the works. “We always get into the fi -nal for the league, but never seem to get out of there. Hopefully it’ll happen this year.” Th e bantam Titans lost to

the Sylvan Lake Lions, 46-31 in last year’s fi nal match. Th e bantams are also looking for parents or foot-ball lovers in the commu-nity to step up to fi ll coach-ing positions and volunteer with the club. “We’re always in need of help. We’re looking for peo-ple to do it full time. We run pretty scripted practices so it’s easy to orchestrate.” Redmond said most peo-ple view bantam football as low quality sport, but says in recent years it has de-veloped into a complex and important level of play. “You see a lot of teams at the tier 1 and 2 levels which are competing at a high level. We need the coaches to help with the whole pro-gram, not just at the senior level. Th e plays are getting fairly sophisticated now, it’s just like the high school level,” he said.

Bantam Titans in search of players, staff

The bantam Titans football team is gearing up to begin spring training on Monday, and are looking for skilled players and a dedicated coaching staff to

step up. The Titans were beaten out of the league fi nals last year by Sylvan Lake.
