Staff at the Royal Tyr-rell Museum went fi sh-ing recently. Although, rather than the more tra-ditional rods and lures, technicians grabbed shovels, pickaxes, and a crane to reel in a hith-erto unknown species of fi sh. Tyrrell staff collected a 1.5 metre wide, 50 cen-timetre tall, and 2,744

kilogram block of rock from the Paskapoo For-mation, roughly 60 mil-lion years old and fi ve million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. Th e block contains a previously unrecorded species of fi sh. Th e fossils are excep-tionally well-preserved and are all related to the modern alligator gar. Gars are fi sh with sharp teeth and armour-like

scales found in waters from Manitoba to Que-bec, and south to Cen-tral America and Cuba. Th ey are predatory and feed on other fi sh, cray-fi sh, and even birds. Technicians, during the excavation, uncov-ered 17 complete fi sh skeletons. Th e larg-est specimen measures roughly 75 centimetres long, while the smallest is roughly 25 centime-

tres. Th e fi nd is the best ex-ample of an assemblage of gars from the Paska-poo Formation and the only grouping that pre-serves juvenile speci-mens. Th e block was discov-ered in late February by a man out walking along the highway near Okotoks. He reported

the fi nd to the mu-seum and technicians were sent to investigate. When removing the block, a lifting cable and crane was needed to lift the massive rock from the ground. From there it was hauled by truck to the Tyrrell Museum, where it is currently awaiting preparation and further study.

Businesses passing through Drumheller and how much they pay for that privilege are being put under the microscope. Th e Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce has be-gun research into the current business license fee structure of the Town of Drumheller and what changes could be made. “We’ve had a number of peo-ple write letters to the Chamber to do something about it and advocate for them,” said Cham-ber board member John Shoff . “We want to get feedback from Chamber members to see if we should pursue this and what our stance should be. Should the fees be increased or decreased.”

Th e study was prompted by comments from Chamber members expressing a desire to raise the license fees for busi-nesses coming to Drumheller for a few day and then leaving. “We’re not looking at busi-nesses already in Drumheller or who are opening a new busi-ness here. We’re looking at the businesses who come here for one to two days and then are gone. Th ey come to town, sell a bunch of stuff , and take all the proceeds out of the communi-ty,” said Shoff . Another aspect the Chamber is researching is whether the defi nitions for the diff erent fee categories need to be redefi ned. “One of the comments we’ve heard is maybe there needs to be more clarifi cation (in the by-

law). For example, there might be a need to decrease the cost for contractors but increase for these transient retail business-es,” said Shoff . Th e Town of Drumheller feels the license fees are comparable to other, similar-sized commu-nities in Alberta. “When you look at other com-munities and compare, we’re basically in line with them,” said Mayor Terry Yemen. “We’re going to ask administration to look at few more communities to make sure we’re similar to them. If it needs to be adjusted, we’ll adjust it.” In addition, business license fees that are too high may only serve to drive business away from Drumheller. “Th ere has to be a balance.

We can’t discourage business or make it prohibitive to do busi-ness here,” said Yemen. Chamber members are en-couraged to contact the Cham-ber at 403-823-8100. “We want to use this as an opportunity to engage our members. Our goal is to get more members involved in the Chamber, which will benefi t our organization quite a bit,” said Shoff . Residents can also contact Town Council to let their views be known. “We’re open to suggestions. It’s a bylaw, so it can be tweaked, refi ned, and tuned,” said Yemen. “If anyone has concerns, they can bring them to their council representative.”

Th e Wildrose Constit-uency Association for the Drumheller-Stettler Riding has a new presi-dent. Th e Association held its Annual General Meeting on March 23 and Lisa Hansen-Zacha-ruk was elected the As-sociation’s president, re-placing Gordon Butler. “It is exciting and a big step,” said Hansen. She explains she was ap-proached a few weeks ago to gauge her interest

and she feels she can do a good job. She explains the Con-stituency Association’s (CA) main focus is to make sure the area has an elected MLA. It works on fundraising for the association and to mobilize during election time. “Th e party is supposed to be grassroots, and so the CAs come up with policies they bring for-ward to the AGM or pol-icy session and then vote to see if it gets adopted,” said Hansen-Zacharuk. Hansen-Zacharuk is

also a sitting Drumheller town councillor and sees no problem in perform-ing both rolls, and in some cases, it could be helpful. “Th e point of the mat-ter is we are all supposed to be working together towards one good and that’s Alberta,” she said. “Because Rick Strank-man is our MLA, regard-less of party affi liation, I can take our concerns directly from the Town to our MLA. I fi nd that handy.”

With the assistance of Linden Citizen on Patrol and helpful residents, a speeder who was alleg-edly driving more than 100 kilometres per hour over the speed limit will have his day in court. Kneehill County Com-munity Peace Offi cer Ja-mie Erickson told inSide

Drumheller about an in-cident occurring last Fri-day evening, March 29. He observed a new Mit-subishi Lancer traveling north on Highway 806 towards Linden at a high rate of speed. Erickson clocked the car travel-ing at 202 kilometres per hour. “I activated the radar when I saw him coming up really fast on another

vehicle,” said Erickson. “I hit my lights after I had locked in the speed and he was well ahead of me at that point. He made no attempts to stop and passed another vehicle on a corner.” Erickson said he made no further attempts to stop the car and notifi ed Beiseker and Th ree Hills RCMP of the car and di-rection of travel.

Later he was patrolling in the Village of Linden and was fl agged down by a resident who gave him information on the car that had passed through the village. A member of Citizen on Patrol helped the peace offi cer locate the vehicle at a residence in the village. “I had a lot of help from some citizens of Linden telling me where

the vehicle went and the license plate, and Citizens on Patrol who stepped forward to fi nd the vehicle,” he said. Erickson told inSide Drumheller a male has been charged with driv-ing more than 50 kilo-metres per hour over the speed limit and failing to stop for a police offi cer, both under the provin-cial Traffi c Safety Act. He explains that a driv-er charged with driving 50 kilometres over the speed limit has an auto-matic court appearance. Th ere is no specifi ed

penalty. Th e maximum fi ne the driver could face is $2,000 and/or up to a six month suspension. Surprisingly enough, this was not the fastest driver he has ever seen in his 12-year career. He once clocked a driver traveling 218 kilometres per hour. “We see the 150s often in the county, but not often we come across speeds that extreme,” said Erickson. Th e driver is slated to appear in provincial court in Drumheller on May 1.

Th e Little Explorers Childcare and Discovery Centre will be hit hard by Alberta Human Ser-vice’s decision to end the $7,500 Quality Enhance-ment Grant for accred-ited childcare centres across the province on April 1. According to Craig Loewen, press secretary for the department, the grant was cut because it had achieved its goal of

helping childcare cen-tres qualify for accredi-tation. Nevertheless, daycare operators are upset over the loss of the grant, w h i c h e n a b l e d them to p r o v i d e b e t t e r program-ming and additional t r a i n i n g for staff . “There might be a lot of es-tablished dayc are s in Alberta right now, but for some-one who’s just starting out, this is painful,” said Nola Wallace, director

of the Little Explorers Childcare Centre. She explained that the Little Explorers are

still in the a c c r e d i -t a t i o n p r o c e s s , h a v i n g only been in opera-tion for less than two years. “ T h a t m o n e y was es-s e n t i a l ,” said Wal-lace, ex-p l a i n i n g that a cer-tain stan-dard of excellence

is required for all accred-ited childcare programs in Alberta. “We have what is re-

quired to be a daycare, but to be an accredited daycare, we need mul-ticultural items, a more advanced library and more toys. Basically all of our resources need to be held to a higher stan-dard.” Th e Little Explorers Childcare and Discovery Centre is a non-profi t organization, meaning that any money made is invested directly back into the daycare. Wallace mentioned that she was grateful the government hasn’t taken away her professional development funds – funds provided by the government to give spe-cially trained employee’s a top-up in addition to the regular pay they re-ceive – although she fears that they too may now be in jeopardy. “If it had aff ected their pay, I really don’t know what we would have done,” she said. Although raising fees for the daycare may be one alternative to recoup the fi nancial losses, Wal-lace affi rms that it is not set in stone. “Because we’re in the accreditation process, we don’t want to bail out on that. We want to keep on going, but it will make things tough.” Despite the setback, Wallace has faith that Little Explorers will be still be able to continue moving forward without making any detrimental changes to the program. “It’s not going to get us down, we shall over-come,” she said.

Th e 2013 Enerfl ex MS walk is shaping up to be a big success this year as 83 walkers and 12 teams have already confi rmed their registration for the event. Th is year’s walk will take place at the Bad-lands Community Fa-cility (BCF) on Sunday, May 5. “We’re really encour-aged by the youth that are coming on board, because they are essen-tial for keeping it go-ing, and the enthusiasm from the locals is just great.” said this year’s MS Walk coordinator, Shauna Brown. Interesting new in-centives have also been added to this year’s walk for all Alberta partici-pants. For every $1,000 in pledges raised by par-ticipants, they are en-tered to win free airfare for two anywhere in the world, courtesy of WestJet. “I’m actually very proud of Drumheller, because we’re ahead of a lot of the bigger com-munities right now,” said Brown Brown is confi dent in surpassing this year’s goal, set by Red Deer, of raising $40,000 in funds. “I think it’s really do-able,” she said. Breakfast and warm-ups will begin at 9 a.m., with registration at 9:30 a.m., and the walk tak-ing place at 10 a.m. No changes have been made to the walk route this year, which is

slightly less than 10 ki-lometres, and will start and fi nish at the BCF. If people decide to participate in the walk but don’t feel they can walk the entire distance, check points have been arranged for them to stop and get shuttled back to the BCF. A “fun run” will also be held at this year’s event for anyone choos-ing to run the course in-stead of walking it. Th e run will not be timed and anyone choosing to run the course will be entitled to a 10 minute head start to help eliminate the amount of traffi c on route. Red hair streaks and shoelaces will also be made available to the public to help raise some extra funds for the walk.

“A major portion of the money raised from the walk comes back di-rectly to our community

for our support, and the rest goes to research,” said Brown.

Police warn of “Ransomware”

scamSubmitted

| inSide Drumheller

Th e Canadian Anti Fraud Center and the Royal Canadian Mounted Po-lice Technological Crime Branch have been receiv-ing reports from Canadi-ans who say their comput-ers are being frozen or they have been “locked out” of their computers. Th is hap-pens primarily after com-plainants receive pop-up messages warning them their computers have been associated with child por-nography. Th ese warning messages, which claim to come from the RCMP or other Cana-dian government agencies, tell recipients to pay $100 dollars via Ukash (a pay-ment service provider) so their computers can be “unlocked”. Th ese types of messages, known as ransomware, are scams designed to create shock and anxiety so that victims respond by send-ing money quickly. If you receive one of these mes-sages, please be aware that:• Th e ransomware is an at-tempt to defraud you. • Sending money will not fi x your computer – it will remain locked. DO NOT SEND MONEY.• Neither the RCMP nor any other Canadian gov-ernment agencies would hijack computers in order to obtain money. Th e ransomware pres-ence is hard evidence that your computer has been infected by malicious soft-ware (malware) that must be dealt with. Th e only way to regain access to your computer is to seek the help of a com-puter technician who can remove the malware. To protect against cyber attacks, you must regularly update your software. You need good anti-virus, spy-ware and fi rewall protec-tion. If you receive a ransom-ware message, please con-tact your local police force and the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre (1-888-495-8501).

So easy a child can make them!

STEAMED PORK AND MUSHROOM DUMPLINGS (SHUMAI)

You will need about a dozen wonton wrappers. They come in a package which you can freeze to use at another time (they work well baked in a muffi n tin and fi lled with any sort of fi lling such as an egg mixture for brunch, ground beef taco fi lling, a salad blend, etc.)For the fi lling, peel 1 Tbsp fresh ginger. Chop 1 cup mushrooms and 1 scallion.

Mix together with 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil and 2 tsp. cornstarch and ¼ lb. ground pork.

Work with the wontons one at a time so they don’t dry out. Brush each one with some beaten egg to begin. Then forming a circle with your thumb and index fi nger, hold the wrapper so it is like a cup. Fill with 2 tsp. of the pork mixture. Press fi rmly around the fi lling and fold the edges of the wonton down so the top is exposed – you can fl atten the top of the fi lling as well. Dried goji berries are a popular topper for these. You can also use a frozen pea or carrot cube too.

If you don’t have a bamboo steamer, you can use the basic steamer from your set of pots and pans. Just brush with oil so they don’t stick. Steam for about 10 minutes until the pork is cooked through. Serve with an Asian dip or sauce – a mix of chile paste and soy sauce is good.

*When I made these, I had a little 2 year-old helping me. I did not want to be working with raw meat, so I pre-cooked pork sausage. We then folded the dumplings closed, bringing opposite corners together to seal, because they do not stick together the way the raw meat does. It is easy for a child to handle them and wrap them “just like you wrap your baby dolls.”

If you enjoy working with kids in the kitchen, this is a fun recipe to create with them.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you must stand up for what you be-lieve is right, even if it costs you a few friends along the way. It is the price to pay for doing the honorable thing.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, take a trip this week if it will help you reach your goals. The change of scenery could give you an entirely new perspective on a situation that needs tackling.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, think about adding some new skills to your resume. It’s not that your job is in tur-moil right now, but it always pays to be a step ahead when it comes to your career.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, just because everyone else is mak-ing changes doesn’t mean you have to at this time as well. If things are working out, then let them stay as they are for a while.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Don’t set limits on what you do, Leo. Chang-es at work mean you may need to fi ll differ-ent roles that require new skills. There’s a good chance you can master them.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, don’t feel guilty if your opinion differs from others’. If you don’t agree with the con-sensus, then that is your opinion and your right.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, say what is on your mind because sometimes people just need to hear the hon-est truth. You have a good way of exacting authority and representing others.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, get together with people who share your love of adventure this week. To-gether you can enjoy time spent living vicari-ously and enjoying the scenery fl ying by.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, if you want to get real results this time, change your approach with a person who has been troublesome in the past. You will get the knack of persuasion.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Discuss issues from your past that you have yet to resolve, Aquarius. This is the week to “come clean” with a spouse or romantic partner or someone else close to you.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, do generous things for others, and not only will you feel great, but also you will get an unexpected reward.

Years of intense prac-tice are starting to pay off for former Drumheller resident, Cersten Peters, since she was recruited to play for the Calgary Xtreme U18 “A” girl’s fast pitch softball team this season. Th e Xtreme softball team consists of girls from Calgary and surrounding rural areas under the age of 18. Th ey will start their regular season in the Cal-gary Women’s Fastpitch Association (CWFA), playing at a Division 1 lev-el. “It’s defi nitely been a goal of mine just to be on an A caliber team or a highly dedicated and committed team for sure,” said Peters, who has de-voted six years of her life

to softball, playing for teams like the Drumheller Venom and the Canadian Adrenaline Fastball Asso-ciation (CAFA) U18 team. After trying out for the Xtreme softball team in October last year, she heard the news on Christ-mas day that she would get to play for the U18 team this year. “Th ey are a bunch of great girls and they were really welcoming,” said Peters. “Th ey didn’t show me a cold shoulder com-ing in to play as the new person.” With team practices on Sunday nights, pitcher’s and catcher’s training on Mondays and team con-ditioning on Th ursdays, Peters said the level of training and commitment that she has experienced in her short time with the Xtreme team is unparal-

leled to that of previous teams she’s played for. “It’s a lot more intense,” she said. “Every inning has a strategy. It’s not like you can just go out there, throw the ball, and hope

for the best.” Off -season training for the Xtreme U18 softball team started in October and runs until the begin-ning of the regular season in April.

Th e team will play their fi rst tournament of the year indoors in Edmonton on April 21 before the reg-ular season commences on April 30. All regular season

games will take place at the Shouldice four-plex in Calgary with double-header league games be-ing played every Tuesday evening.

Seventeen-year-old drumheller resident, Cersten Peters, has been hard at work with her preseason training for the Calgary Xtreme U18 “A” girls fastpitch softball team.

Athletes in the area are being encouraged to test themselves on June 8. Th e Drumheller Triath-lon, which was fi rst held last year, is getting ready for its second race and things are already shaping up to be bigger than last year. “We’ve already got more people signed up than last year. It’s defi -nitely going to be bigger,” Morgan Syvertsen, who is organizing the event. “Th e people who have signed up already are se-rious athletes, so this is going to be a pretty good race.” Th e route for the race is remaining the same as last year. Th e swimming portion will be held at the Aquaplex, the cycling

portion will go along North Dinosaur Trail, and the run will utilize the trail system between the Aquaplex and Mid-land. Th ere are two dis-tances participants can do; sprint or Olympic. Th e Olympic distance is a 1,500 metre swim, 40 kilometre ride, and 10 ki-lometre run. Th e sprint distance is half of that. Th is year will be the fi rst the triathlon will offi cially be a part of DinoFest. Th e date of the race has been set for June 8, at 9 a.m. Th e race was created last year as a way for ath-letes in Drumheller to do a triathlon in the comfort of the Valley. “We’ve got a lot of peo-ple here who cross train. Th ey are swimmers, bik-ers, and runners, so this is an opportunity for them

to come together and compete and, because the distances are standard for triathlons, they can com-pare their results with other races. Maybe they’ll get the bug and go out and try more races,” said Syversten. Should interest contin-ue to mount, the hope is to keep the race growing. “If there enough inter-est, maybe we can go a bit bigger. It’s certainly looking that way. Down the road, maybe we could look at larger distances, or fi nd a section of the river deep enough to swim in. We could even go outside of the Valley and host something for a few hundred people,” said Syversten. Anyone interested in racing are encouraged to contact Syvertsen at 403-823-7986 or meistermo-

[email protected]. Teams are accepted as well. “If you can swim, the rest is easy. Get in the

pool and start practicing and remember: no one wins a triathlon in the swim,” said Syvertsen. “If

you’re not a swimmer, don’t worry. You can bike and run hard, and still have a great time.”

The Drumheller Triathlon is getting ready for its second year and will be running on June 8. The triathlon will start participants at the Aquaplex, then take them cycling from the Aquaplex to North Dinosaur Trail,

and the Drumheller trail system. The tri-athlon is also now an offi cial DinoFest event, further expanding the festival’s al-ready considerable presence.

Coaches needed for upcoming season


Th e fastest game on two feet has started run-ning. Th e Badlands Lacrosse Association is ready for the upcoming season and has begun prac-ticing at the Badlands Community Facility. Already, the rosters are full for most teams after a registration drive at the Sports, Arts, and Recreation Expo earlier this month. “We had a really good turnout and had most of our teams fi lled up that night. Everything but the

Bantam team was fi lled,” said Ren Dumaine, pres-ident of the Badlands La-crosse Association. “Our season has started, with practices in the Commu-nity Facility.” Th e association held its annual general meet-ing on Monday, March 25 in the Badlands Com-munity Facility. One of the topics they ad-dressed is to get more volunteers to help coach or help with the admin-istrative end of the orga-nization. “We’ll be in need of coaches in our younger groups. We’re always looking for volunteers in our younger groups,” said Dumaine. “We’re also looking at other

volunteers. We could use someone to help us with marketing, because right now, we don’t have enough time to handle that as well as we want to.” Badlands Lacrosse continues to benefi t from strong support from the community. Last year saw full rosters as well on each team. Th e teams were busy throughout the season and the Bantam team made a run at the league championship, making it to the semi-fi nals. Anyone who is inter-ested in getting involved with lacrosse or register-ing on a team is encour-aged to drop by Source for Sports.

Kids across the valley are grabbing their lacrosse gear for another season of ac-tion. Teams from Mini Tyke to Midget are bursting with players and begin practicing

for the upcoming season within the week. The Badlands Lacrosse Association is looking for coaches and volunteers to get in on the action.

Batter up! Th e snow is melt-ing and the weather is warming, which means residents will soon be hitting the ball dia-monds after spending months cooped up in-doors. Th e Drumheller Slo-Pitch Association is looking for a few more residents to step up to the plate. Th ere is cur-rently room for four more teams. Individual players are welcome to sign up as well, which is a great way to get active and meet new people. “At the (Sports, Arts, and Recreation) Expo I met a few people who were new to town

and wanted to get out, play some slo-pitch, and meet new people. We’re always looking for spare players and anyone who is look-ing to join a team,” said Kadena Pierce, who helps organize the league. “Th ere are always teams looking for spare players. I have a list, so if teams need a player, they can give me a call and I can get them the number of a spare player.” Th e season is shap-ing up to be business as usual for the most part, though there is one change in store for the fi nal tournament of the season. “We’re planning on doing a home run derby this year. We’ve

wanted to do it before, but didn’t have enough time. So, we shortened the games to fi t in both a men’s and women’s derby. I know some people have been itch-ing to show their stuff ,” said Pierce. Potential players and teams only have a little more time to sign up. Slo-pitch teams from across Drumheller will be stepping on to the Newcastle diamonds on Friday, May 3. “We’d like to tenta-tively start May 3, de-pending on the weath-er. If the diamonds are still under water, we’ll have to delay things a little, but we’re hope-ful,” said Pierce. “It’ll feel good to get back out there.”

With the weather warming up, it can only mean slo-pitch season is around the cor-ner. The Drumheller Slo-Pitch Association

is looking for players and four more teams for the upcoming season, which is sched-uled to begin on May 3.
