Th e Rosebud volunteer fi re-men are committed to pro-viding emergency response service to the residents of the Rosebud region in Wheatland County.

Th e project began over two years ago with 25 volunteers and 6,000 hours. Th is major community project has had strong support from business and local service clubs. Deputy Chief Richard Zachariassen explained, “Paul Laff en, a volunteer fi refi ghter from Rosebud, designed the fi re hall, including the new Rosebud fi re hall sign. “Every night after supper when the weather conditions are co-operating, you can fi nd Art Hudson and myself or other volunteers working on the construction of the fi re hall,” Richard said.

Th e original fi re hall is 32 years old and consists of 1,370 square feet. With little work left to do, the fi re hall will be ready for the grand opening on Monday August 15, celebrating with supper and entertainment.

A hiker in Horseshoe Canyon received a little lift Wednesday morning after he injured his leg. Th e lift came from a chopper. Around 10:30 a.m., a hiker had a mishap while walk-ing at the site. According to one of the pilots at Mountain View Helicopters, which op-erates tours of the Horseshoe Canyon, they were alerted by hikers that a man was injured. Th e helicopter took fl ight, and identifi ed a safe place to land near the injured person. Th ey were able to transport him to their base at the top of the canyon to an awaiting am-bulance. Th is rescue was the second this month by the helicopter company, which has been op-erating at Horseshoe Canyon since 2001. On July 3, the crew helped rescue a golden retriever. Th e fi ve-year-old dog, Molly, was suff ering from fatigue and de-hydration while hiking with

her family. Th ey were not able to carry the dog to safety, and approached the helicopter tour operators. Mountain View mobilized its Robinson 44, four seater, and raced an impending storm to pick up Molly and bring her back to safety. Dustin Johnston of Moun-

tain View Helicopters said while they are on the site to run tours, they won’t hesitate to help out if there is a safe place for them to land. He said on Wednesday when they res-cued the hiker, a member of the hiker’s party off ered to pay for the fuel during the rescue, which they appreciated.

Mountain View Helicopters assisted in rescuing an injured hiker from Horseshoe Canyon on Wednesday morning.

A man has pleaded guilty of possession of drugs for the purposes of traffi cking after police discovered close to 16 pounds of marijuana in a car. Steven Brausse, and Kevin Jones appeared in provincial court in Drumheller on Fri-day, July 22. Brausse plead-ed guilty to possession for the purpose of traffi cking. Charges against Jones were withdrawn. Th e court heard how on October 20 of last year, po-lice were alerted to a truck travelling in the vicinity of Drumheller and the licence plate light was not operat-ing properly. Th e offi cer was able to view the licence plate and when he ran the plate,

he learned there may be a warrant outstanding for the owner. Police initiated a stop on the vehicle and when the offi cer exited his vehicle, he noticed the strong odour of fresh marijuana coming from the truck. Th e vehicle was driven by Jones. When the vehicle was searched, they located about 16 pounds of mari-juana. About six pounds of the cache was pure bud, while the rest was “shake”, or leaves, stocks and seeds. Brausse will be sentenced on a later date. He returns to provincial court in Drum-heller on October 28 after a presentence report is com-pleted.

Th e Canadian Badlands Pas-sion Play set a record this year as their attendance skyrocketed over last season. Th e annual Passion Play cel-ebrated a number of milestones this season with its 100th per-formance. Th is year also saw a number of changes including a

new script and a state of the art sound system. General manager Vance Neu-dorf was elated to announce the show had broken a new atten-dance record. “We had 14,040,” Neudorf told inSide Drumheller. “Last year was 12,203, we were up 15 per cent.” While this season they did

not see a sell-out (capacity is 2,692), four of the shows had well over 2,000 in attendance. In fact, over the complete run they averaged more than 2,000 in the seats. With the number of changes, Neudorf said the performances were smooth. “It was amazing to see every-thing come together. With ev-erything that had to be done, it was crazy trying to pull it all off , but it all happened,” he said. As far as the fi nal product on the stage, Neudorf was able to actually sit and watch the show this season. “By and large, I said, ‘Wow, what a wonderful piece these people have created,'" adding that the feedback he has re-ceived about this year’s perfor-mance has been positive. “Th e show is just a visually stunning piece.” One factor they could not control however was the weath-er. Jesus received a reprieve from the cross on Friday night, July 22 when the show had to be halted due to rain, as he was marching up Golgotha.

One of the strengths of the Passion Play is that it is never static. While the show closed last Sunday, they are already looking towards next season. “Th ere will be changes… ev-ery year we look at it and make a bit of a change here or there, or fi x some things. Th ere will be some work on the set to bring it up to exactly what we want. We will be working on the sound system some more,” he said,

explaining that the new system may allow them to outfi t the fa-cility with in-ear receivers that patrons who are hard of hearing could rent to better enjoy the show. “We are just going through our post-show things and com-ing up with a list of things we will fi x up for next year, but there is quite a list of things we’re excited to improve upon,” said Neudorf.

After more than 30 years, the Rotary Club has passed on stewardship of the driving tour signs throughout the valley. Th is year the Rotary Club completed an ambitious project of refurbishing the series of 18 signs throughout the valley that mark historical sites of interest. Th e project was supported by a number of entities including the Alberta Government, Can-alta and Hi-Way 9 Express. In-dividual Rotarians also contrib-uted to the project. Other partners included the Atlas Coal Mine, who helped them research each site and provide images for each sign.

Th e Royal Tyrrell Museum helped with the design and lay-out of each new sign. HB Indus-tries modifi ed and installed the new signs. Th e new placards are con-structed of a weather, UV and graffi ti proof material and are expected to last for years. Th e whole project cost in the area of $35,000, and took three years from planning and fundraising to installation. On Wednesday, July 27, the Rotary Club offi cially handed over the stewardship of the signs to the Atlas Coal Mine. Executive director of the At-las Coal Mine Linda Digby said taking care of the signs fi ts with the mandate of the Atlas Coal

Mine. “Rotary asked us to take over custodianship of the signs when we began this project a couple of years ago. We said yes because it is a good fi t for our mandate,” said Digby. “Our mandate is to preserve and present Drumheller’s coal min-ing history, from one end of the valley to the other: Nacmine to East Coulee, Wayne to Willow Creek. Th e historic mine mark-ers are another way to present the story of the mining years, which founded Drumheller.” Th e signs were originally erected in the mid seventies. Some Rotarians involved in the project to install them were Jim Fisher and Loris Fowler.

The Drumheller Rotary Club handed over the cus-todianship of the scenic driving tour signs after installing and taking care of the signs since the mid-1970s. At the hand over are (l-r) Debi Kennedy, who was Rotary President at the time of the sign

refurbishing project, Heather Colberg of Hi-Way 9 Express, Rotary sign committee members Brent Pedersen and Ron Rawlusyk, Atlas Coal Mine ex-ecutive director Linda Digby and Rotary sign com-mittee member Leo Jensen.

It took John Davies 10 years and nine in-dividual cars to piece together his 1930 Model A Ford. The retired farmer, now in Rosedale, used to live in the Finnegan area and knew there were a number of the cars all over the fi elds. He began col-lecting. While some he had to shell out for, if someone offered to give away the car, he always gave them a bottle of whis-ky. He built the car from the ground up, including the mechanical work. The car, while pieced together, is almost all origi-nal. The hood and the trunk are the only aftermarket parts he had to buy. He also installed a fi ve-speed transmission from a GMC S10 truck to give him a little more go on the highway. The Model A has kept him busy enough tinkering in his retire-ment, and when it doesn’t, he also has a 1926 Model T truck to keep him busy.

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water.

About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossil-ized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area.

The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district.

It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves

in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.

Today, the Town of Drumheller relies on agriculture, gov-ernment services, oil and gas, and tourism for its economic prosperity.

ATCO Electric is planning to replace the 10 metre telecommunication pole on the existing Wintering Hills substation site, which is located in NW 26-26-19 W4M, approximately 6 kilometres east of Dalum and 25 kilometres southeast of the Town of Drumheller.

POSTSECONDARYDEADLINE

AUGUST 5TH

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Reserve judgement for another time, Aries. When someone needs your advice, simply offer it instead of lecturing on what should have been done.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21There's not much you can say or do to change someone's mind. In-stead of getting worked up about it, simply move on to someone who is more receptive.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, few things rile you up more than dishonesty. But don't allow this person to get the better of you. Take the high road instead.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, it's alright to tell someone the truth. However, sometimes you have to soften your words. Not every person is receptive to brutal honesty at all times.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, when you introduce a new idea, expect it to be met with some opposition. However, later in the week others will start to see the merits of the idea.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22The saying goes, "If you can't beat them, join them." For you, Virgo, these are words to live by this week. Don't be the odd person out; join with the group.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, check your fi gures again be-cause something simply isn't add-ing up in your fi nances. You may need to ask a friend to go over things with you again.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, although you have at-tacked a problem from many an-gles, you can't seem to come to a resolution. Someone will offer the "ah ha" moment this week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, boredom might reign early in the week, but there are plenty of memorable activities on the horizon. Surround yourself with friends.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, it is OK to reminisce about old times, but trying to re-live your youth is not advanta-geous. This week, make a few new memories that you can be proud of.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, even though others around you don't always act as you would hope they would, you have to look at the merits behind their actions. Don't be critical.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20A problem proves a tough nut to crack, Pisces. You'll fi nd a way to get to the center of the issue and resolve things by the weekend.

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!

I haven’t been caught in a rainstorm in a long time, but last Tuesday eve-ning caught me good. In the short distance from the restaurant to my car, I pretty much got soaked. It’s times like these you really appreciate remote door locks. If I’d had to fumble for a key, and then work the lock, I could just as well have walked home, because I doubt I could have been any wetter. As it was I was dripping wet. In the last couple of weeks we have had our share of good thunderstorms, lightning shows, and hot, humid afternoons. Fortunately, the hot sunny days have so far out numbered the stormy days. Actual summer type weather seems to have returned to the valley, after several years absence. It is most welcome. Th e heat is almost how I remember it, searing and humid. Th e storms are how I remember them, lots of thunder and lightning, and a good cleansing rain. Th ings really grow with this type of weather, it is good.

A crazy thing is happening and you can read about it almost every week during the summer. A human, hiking, biking or walking in a mountain park will encounter a bear. If the bear charges, or happens to be perceived as pre-senting a danger to the humans, it is either shot, or removed and relocated. In the case of someone being mauled or killed by a bear, and the authorities cannot properly identify the perpetrator, then the nearest three, four or half dozen bears are killed just to make sure. Th is is a national park mind you, which should be the last, and the best place of refuge for our wild animals. I did say crazy. You go into the mountain parks of your own accord, knowing full well that these are home to black bears and grizzlies. Entering the park, you are given information regarding how to avoid, or at least mitigate any problems should you encounter a bear. If you are smart, you follow the rules and return, perhaps never even having seen a bear, or experiencing no problems with any you might have seen. We are a province with a growing population, and with a resource based economy, more and easier access is given to the back coun-try, where the bear has long been number one. It is his home; we are noisy, disruptive, littering intruders, and as such we can hardly expect to be greeted with open arms. We must learn the rules of bear etiquette, abide by them and hope the bear appreciates the eff ort, otherwise here might be an appropriate headline: “Seven Campers Euthanized After Encounter With Bear” Seven campers had to be euthanized Saturday after authorities could not identify which one was responsible for leaving food scraps around the fi re pit. Th e bear entered the campground after being enticed by the smell of left over hot dogs, and a can of bacon grease that had been left sitting out. Th ree other campers were relocated outside the park after admitting to having a prohib-ited open fi re. Harsh you say. Maybe, but irresponsibility has a price, and nature does not suff er fools lightly. Hiking and camping in the mountain parks is a privilege, but these are wild places, and whatever may befall you, good or bad, comes with that wildness. When you enter, you accept that responsibility. If you can-not do that, then stay out of the mountain parks wilderness, you may save a bear's life.

Nathan Tupper is a name you might be familiar with around the track at Dino-saur Downs. Many saw him racing on the July 1st long weekend, his wife cheering him on from the sidelines. Th e local favourite was busy master-ing the corners in his lime green pickup truck, marked with the number 64. After a 20 year break from the racing world, Nathan, now 46, has decided to pick up where he left off , with one exception: he has cho-sen to race on dirt tracks instead of with the street stock classes as in the past. Tupper fi rst became in-terested in racing at the age of 20 because of his love for speed. It off ered him a break from the pressures of work and he enjoyed the friendly on-track competition. Now, he is once again behind the wheel with his former crew chief wife, Heather, and has formed the Heathan Racing

team. Rebuilding his truck was a labour of love. Th e overhaul started with a 1988 Cutlass chassis, adding a 2007 Sier-ra truck body and installing a 350 Chevy motor.

Investing $12,000, it took Tupper and his pit crew, consisting of his brother-in-law, his eldest son and his wife, approximately two years from nose to tail to produce the lime green stock class truck. Th e average cost per sea-son is around $20,000. “It’s a very expensive sport. We are fortunate to have some great sponsors,” he said. “IMCA (International Mo-tor Contests Association)

helps to keep costs down with membership fees that are reasonable at $100 per year. IMCA also keeps the racing at a professional lev-el.” Last year Tupper fi nished 13th in Canada. He enjoys racing on the Drumheller track. “Th ere’s a lot of pres-sure when racing in front of your hometown crowd,” he remarked, “but it just helps you go faster.” Th e drivers look forward to the fans joining them in the pits after the races. Kids of all ages can ask ques-tions, meet the drivers and take pictures up close with their favourite racer and the racers get close to their fans because, after all, fans are the reason they race. You can see Nathan Tupper, along with other racers, on Saturday, Sep-tember 10 at Dinosaur Downs Speedway, as they reach speeds of up to 120 mph on the dirt track fi ght-ing for the checkered fl ag.

“Behind the wheel again”IMCA stock class trucks are known as “too tough to tame.” IMCA’s second largest division remains syn-

onymous with the fast paced excitement of racing.inSide photo submitted
