A woman received minor injuries after a collision with a semi on Highway 27 near Morrin Wednesday morning, March 16. At about 9:40 a.m. Drum-heller RCMP responded to a collision about one mile east of the Morrin turnoff . It appears a mid-sized car travelling east-bound crossed the center line and sideswiped a tractor-trailer unit. Th e car spun and came to a stop in the middle of the road. Th e RCMP along with the Drumheller Fire Department, the Morrin Fire Department and EMS responded to the ac-cident. Heavy fog decreased visibility as traffi c was directed around the scene. Th e female driver of the car received minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Th e call to police was initiat-ed by the OnStar system in the car. Th e driver has been charged with driving left of center.

Th e Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation is begin-ning to feel the growing pains of the retiring baby boomers alongside rising expenses and static revenues, as their vice-chair says they’ll be requesting more money this year than in previous ones. “It’s gotten to the point where we have to fi x it, but I think we’re on the right track,” said board vice-chair Tom Zariski. Zariski says the expenses have been rising continuously over the last few years, but revenues from rent must re-main at aff ordable levels for senior tenants at retirement homes, such as the Sunshine and Hillview Lodges in Drum-heller. Known expenditures which will be incurred in 2011 are replacing the hot water tank at the Sunshine Lodge, inde-pendant consulting fees to obtain noise readings regard-ing Drumheller’s sound bylaw, union dues for the CUPE due in December, and major re-pairs and replacement costs for the aging Sunshine Lodge. Unknown expenditures have no reserve set aside for these expenses. Th e foundation saw a defi -ciency of funds of $357,566 in 2009. “Th at creates a predica-

ment,” he says. “Costs go up, and funding just hasn’t been there. “We’re looking at the pro-vincial government for assis-tance and they’ve been cutting back. If they aren’t putting in the money, then I guess the town has to step up.” As a short-term solution, Zariski says the foundation has been advised they must requisition $425,000-475,000 from participating munici-

palities this year, up from $250,000 in 2010. Th e DDSF will be fi nalizing how much they will requisition at next Th ursday’s board meeting, and will present town council with the amount at the follow-ing week’s council meeting. Th e Town of Drumheller provided 50.4 per cent of the requisitioned funds last year ($125,093), Starland County 47.6 per cent ($118,865), and Delia, Morrin, and Mun-

son providing the remaining funds. Th e money is found through the mill rate. “Th ese are the people who built the community, built Al-berta, built the country, and they need our support.” About $25,000-50,000 of 2011’s requisition funds will go towards a comprehen-sive effi ciency audit to see if any areas of operation at the homes can be made more ef-fi cient and cost eff ective.

Seniors foundation faces rise in expenses, drop in funding

As expenses rise and provincial funding falls, the Drumheller and District Seniors Foundation advised town council the amount of funding to

be requested this year will probably increase to $425,000-475,000, rising from 2010’s $250,000 amount.

Drumheller has provided me with a sense of community as well as a liveli-hood.  I opened the doors to my pub-lic accounting practice in 1998 with a Bachelor of Commerce degree and Certifi ed General Accountant's Association of Alberta designation on the wall.  Since that time I have been joined by eight wonderful staff members, all of whom provide a wealth of knowledge and expe-rience (which is critical in today's changing accounting environ-ment). My offi ce can pro-vide services to indi-viduals in the areas of personal income tax preparation and planning.  The completion of estate returns is also off ered.  For corporate clients, my staff will provide monthly data processing and payroll services, as well as completion of GST and cor-

porate tax returns for either Notice to Reader, Review Engagements or Audits.  I am also available to develop planning strategies for the future.  In

addition, these servic-es are also provided to not-for-profi t organiza-tions.  For individuals processing their own records, we can provide immediate technical assistance (in-house or on-site) for Simply Ac-counting as a Premier Advisor or QuickBooks as the longest running local Pro-Advisor. I have been privi-leged to work closely with the local business-es, which has provided me with a unique un-

derstanding of their operations.  This allows us to focus on how they can retain their wealth - which is why I re-member "It's not what you earn... it's what you keep".

A spring chinook, coupled with heavy snow accu-mulation on the ground has overwhelmed frozen catch basins and storm sewers. As freezing tem-

peratures returned a number of residents have seen their yards turn to skating rinks.

Chinook brings water woesPatrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Town of Drumheller crews have been hopping this week dealing with what lurks beneath the ground. Winter weather inevitably leads to water main breaks and this year was no exception. Re-cently, crews have been work-ing two in Bankview and one in downtown Drumheller. Just as they were getting a han-dle on these breaks, a spring Chi-nook overwhelmed some of the infrastructure that is still frozen. “Storm drains are the biggest issue we are dealing with right now," said Keith Russell, opera-tions manager for the Town of Drumheller. “With the warmer

weather, the streets with hard packed ice are now falling apart.” Crews spend much of this week working to free up frozen storm drains and catch basins. Despite their eff orts, some in the valley have experienced pooling on the front streets, lawns or seepage into basements or garages. He said they have also had to deal with some shallower sewer pipes that have frozen. Simon Wunsch of Rosedale has been dealing with fl ash melting. He lives along Pinter Road and the water came quickly, turning yards into swimming pools. With the cooling, they became skating rinks. “It gets better in the morning because it is freezing overnight

but at 3 or 4 p.m. it starts again,” he said. While his yard is covered with ice, he said so far there is no water in his house. He said some of his neighbours on Pinter Drive have had their basements fl ooded. Th e cooler weather on Wednesday and Th ursday has helped to slow the water. Russell said the slow down has allowed them to catch up. He said residents can continue to communicate with the town on water issues. “Th e public can continue to re-port the frozen catch basins and if there is imminent danger of property being damage to report, and we will try to prioritize,” said Russell.

Hope College submits application with $224,000 in pledgesPatrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Who would have guessed that in just 35 days Hope College would be approaching its fund-raising goal? Th ose working on founding the post secondary institution were pretty optimistic. Hope College initiated its fund-raising drive just over a month ago in hopes of raising $300,000 for the college to become a re-ality. As of Wednesday, they are standing at $224,000 including sizable donations from EnCana, Th e Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce and Cuts 4 Cancer.

“We’re ecstatic. We are very happy and overwhelmed with the support we received from the community,” said Jordan Webber of Community Futures Big Coun-try. “Th e truth is we have asked lots of businesses, big or small, to date. We have had a warm recep-tion from every one.” He adds they are still waiting to hear back from many of the busi-nesses. “Th ey are really excited they could help the college come to Drumheller,” said Webber. He explains they have been working on raising $300,000 of private pledges, spaced over three years, with a deadline of April 10 to accompany their ap-

plication to the Rural Alberta Development Fund. Th e RADF is a matching grant program. It requires Hope Col-lege to demonstrate strong local support by securing at least 25 per cent of the funds from local sources. As of Wednesday, they have submitted their application, with the named supporters and the to-tal pledge amount. He said they will review the application and Hope College will update the to-tal with RADF before the dead-line. Th ey have applied for a grant of $1.1 million. Webber expects they will here back from the gov-ernment by April 30.

Rosebud Th eatre’s ex-ecutive director Bob Davis sums up the excitement for the upcoming season. “Th e Rosebud Mercantile, our new 10,000 square foot dining, shopping and meet-ing/convention space ex-pansion has been 10 years in the making. Everything will be ready in time for opening night of A Bright Particular Star, our fi rst Rosebud Opera House per-formance of the 2011 sea-son.” Davis adds, “Th e archi-tectural design of the Rose-bud Mercantile in an old-time bank and livery stable theme is in keeping with the unique heritage values of the hamlet of Rosebud. Th e facility will be an integral part of Rosebud’s renowned dining and theatre experi-ence, the revenues of which help support the education and training of theatre art-ists from across Canada.” One of the most notable changes will be the spa-cious Rosebud Gifts and Crafts retail shop now lo-cated on the main fl oor. As well, patrons now have the option of choosing from the buff et or a plate meal (extra charge for non-season tick-et holders) in the new Har-vest Room dining space. Visitors to Rosebud can also experience Wild Horse Jack’s Bistro & Grill which will be open to the public from Wednesday to Satur-day for lunch and dinner. On the second fl oor is the Encana Conference Centre with catered meeting space for up to 250 people. Sev-eral weddings and meetings have already been booked for 2011. Th is year promises to fulfi ll our 2011 theme and be full of stories that end “Beyond Your Wildest Ex-pectations”. Th ere are plays with Canadian connections and plays with connections to stories that have been told in the past at Rosebud Th eatre. Opening the season is A Bright Particular Star by Ron Reed, running March 25 - May 14. Th e daughter of a famed 19th-Century writer is a gifted actress and feels her calling to the stage. She shines in the little amateur productions their family troupe produc-es for the poor but the pro-

fessional stage is no place for a reputable woman in Victorian England! So, the daughter George MacDon-ald, who inspired J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, sets out to follow her own path toward the theatre.

W.O. Mitchell’s Jake & the Kid: Prairie Seasons, adapt-ed by James B. Douglas runs through the summer. Just outside the town of Crocus, Saskatchewan (home of the infamous “old-est man in the world”, Dad-dy Sherry), a boy and the family’s hired hand forge a friendship in the absence of the boy’s dad. With each season comes a new adven-ture as the Kid watches Jake and the cantankerous Old Man Gatenby argue about life on the prairie with all its joys and trials. Also this summer, Th e Diary of Adam & Eve, the very fi rst romantic comedy from Mark Twain’s story is on the Rosebud Studio Stage. It is a delightful re-telling of human creation and the fi rst true battle of the sexes! Mark Twain hu-morously recreates the fi rst days when Adam, a quiet man who enjoys the sim-plicity and peace of Eden, is unexpectedly joined by Eve, an energetic and much too talkative woman. As Adam and Eve discover each oth-er, audiences will get a new look at the famous fi rst couple. Th is fall Queen Milli of Galt by Gary Kirkham runs September 9 - October 22. When the Prince of Wales visits Galt, Ontario at the

end of the Great War, the whole town is eager to meet him. Bored with the pomp and circumstance, he slips away from his offi cial duties and fi nds a young woman working in her garden. Mil-li tells him exactly what she thinks about the pompos-ity of royalty and captures his heart. Years later, when 82-year-old Milli has her tombstone engraved stating she is the wife of Edward VIII, Duke of Windsor, ev-eryone is eager to hear the story. Th e theatre closes out the season with the musical re-telling of a Christmas clas-sic. Th e Gifts of the Magi runs November 4 – Dec 23. It’s Christmas in New York, but Jim and Della are out of work and penniless. In the desire to give each other something meaning-ful, they give away more than expected. Th is classic story is framed by a host of characters who scurry through the streets prepar-ing for Christmas, includ-ing a paperboy and an old bum who is not above do-ing something illegal in or-der to spend a few nights in a warm jail. Christmas doesn’t get much warmer than this story.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, although it may seem like you can't go on without someone, you will take care of what you need to do alone. There will be someone new in your life.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, the diffi cult conversations are always the toughest to begin, but take some time this week to get these words said or they may haunt you for months.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, chances are you won't see something coming this week. If something catches you off-guard, recover as quickly and as gracefully as you can.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may want to take inven-tory of your income and expenses and try to curb spending for the next few weeks. You will need the funds for a big project later on.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you play an instrumental role in many people's lives, and that is why you can expect to be called on in an important way this week. Don't worry, you're up to it.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, there's not much more you can say so don't waste your voice or your effort. Move on or you will just get frustrated. Romance seems like-ly this week.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, trivial things seem to af-fect you this week. Focus on the larger picture, and you will discover things are much better than you had originally imagined.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, pamper yourself now be-cause if you don't there will be little time for it next week. Thursday is looking like a good day.

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

Th e second event of the semi-annual Healthy Lifestyle Fair is coming up on March 30. Th e Big Country Primary Care Network held its fi rst fair in October of last year. Th eir second event, coming up at the end of the month, will fo-cus on physical activity, goal setting and self-management. Erica Laycock, wellness coor-dinator, said the registration is beginning to fi ll up. She says it is aimed at anyone interested in making a healthy change to their lifestyle. “Any who are interested can come. It is for all ages and fi t-ness levels. You can come all day, or just for sessions that

are of interest to you,” said Laycock. She adds that not living a healthy lifestyle not only af-fects an individual personally, but also professionally. Many health conditions that are pre-ventable can cost productiv-ity at work, and often lead to missing work. With that in mind, she would like to see local busi-nesses have a look to see what is off ered at the Healthy Life-style Fair. “We know when people are active and eat better, there are reduced costs in sick leave and everything else,” said Laycock. Th e day includes lectures as well as break out sessions. “Th e focus is physical activ-ity and we’ll be having break

out session around that, just to give people an opportunity to try a few diff erent things they may have not tried or not know where to go to try them,” said Laycock. Some of these sessions in-clude modifi ed yoga, Pilates, urban poling and proper use of fi tness equipment. At lunch time there will be a Community Resource Fair, a place to learn what informa-tion, or programs are available locally. She said at the fi rst Community Resource Fair, there was strong participation from professionals and it pro-vided good networking op-portunities. “Th is time we have 18 dif-ferent booths talking about anything from foot care to nu-trition to family violence,” said Laycock. Th e Healthy Lifestyle Fairs are not a Drumheller exclu-sive event. Laycock said not only will they be held semi-annually, but also in many of the areas, the Big Country Pri-mary Care Network cover. “Th e Big Country Primary Network covers Hanna, Th ree Hills, Trochu, Stettler, Coro-nation, Consort, and each of these areas will be off ering the same format,” she said. Registration forms can be picked up at Drumheller As-sociated Physicians Clinic. For more information contact Laycock at 403-823-3345 or e-mail [email protected].

Th e 2011 southern Al-berta regional Scott FireFit competition will be held in the shadow of the World’s Largest Dinosaur. Th e FireFit competition is slated for the weekend of June 11 and 12, and or-ganizers have selected a site. Th e toughest two min-utes in competition will be played out in the parking lot at the World’s Largest Dinosaur. “It is going to be kind of cool to have the tower right beside the big dinosaur there,” said Duane Bolin, who is working on organiz-ing the event. Th e organizers have been busy planning the event and have a full weekend planned. Along with the FireFit Competition, which includes both individual, team and relay events, they are bringing a TopCop contest for peace offi cers to showcase their skills, as well as Corporate FireFit Challenge for local teams to try course. Bolin said typically events like the one Drumheller is hosting can attract any-where from 50 to 100 indi-

vidual competitors alone. Because Drumheller is situ-ated between Calgary and Edmonton, he is optimistic there will be a strong up-take. He is also encouraging local departments to come out and give it a try. Th ere are a number of fi refi ghters from Drumheller who have competed in the contest. Th e event has garnered strong support from the community and the orga-nizers have secured their gold sponsors (contribu-tors of $3,500 or more). Th e Mail announced that Encana had signed on as a gold sponsor. Th e Drum-heller Fire Department is also acting as a gold spon-sor, as are Horizon Oilfi eld Services and Performance Steam. Silver Sponsors (contrib-utors of up to $3,499) that have signed on include Hi-Way 9 Express and Caltech Surveys. Bolin explains registra-tion for the FireFit Com-petition and the TopCop Challenge is through www.fi refi t.com. Registration for the Corporate Challenge is through the local organiz-ers. Th e corporate challenge

allows teams of three to fi ve to take on the FireFit course on Friday night. Th e entry fee is $150 and includes a t-shirt. Th is is a fundraiser for the Badlands Commu-nity Facility. Th ey are hoping for about 30 teams for the corporate event, and already there

are a few teams registered including a possible team made up of fi refi ghter’s' wives. For more information on the FireFit Challenge or to get involved as a sponsor or volunteer, contact Bolin at 403-823-2259. More in-formation on the TopCop

Contest can be obtained from Rod Audy by e-mail-ing [email protected] To register for the FireFit Corporate Challenge, or for more information, contact Kim Masson at 403-820-5757 or by email at [email protected].

At Monday’s town council meeting, council members moved to enter Drumheller into the exploration study to see if bylaw services for Palliser Regional Municipal Services could be stream-lined to improve effi ciency. Th e regional bylaw en-forcement services explora-tion study was requested by municipal members/share-holders of Palliser Regional Municipal Services as a re-gional service that should

be reviewed and considered due to the small size of the interested municipalities and the lack of effi ciency of having bylaw enforcement services on an individual municipality basis. Th e purpose of the study is to identify and assess po-tential options and deter-mine whether the benefi ts of regional service delivery of bylaw enforcement ser-vices outweigh the costs. Th e study will provide vari-ous approaches to service delivery on a regional basis,

considering various param-eters and scope. Th e results of the study will be reviewed by the interested/involved municipalities to determine if regional bylaw enforce-ment should be pursued. If it is decided that there is enough interest to proceed, an implementation pro-gram and operations plan will be developed. Regional Bylaw En-forcement Services will be implemented if a cost-eff ective and viable option is developed through the

project. As many of the supporting municipalities are small and remote, re-gional services are often seen as the most viable op-tion to ensure the necessary expertise and abilities are retained to provide critical municipal services.

Palliser Regional Mu-nicipal Services is cur-rently awaiting a decision on the Regional Collabora-tion Program grant fund-ing made available through Municipal Aff airs to pro-ceed with the project.

Andrea Price came home from New Brunswick a na-tional women’s volleyball champion, after the Mount Royal Cougars beat out Vancouver Island Univer-sity to win gold in fi ve sets last weekend. “It feels amazing, this is the fi rst time Mount Roy-al’s program has ever won gold", the tournament's Most Valuable Player Price said. “It was a good match. “We always tried to be the hardest working team and it really paid off ,” said Price. “We’re really driven, hard working, and determined. We spend a ton of time to-gether so we’re kind of like a family as well.” In an ultra-tight fi rst set, the Cougars found them-selves on the wrong end of the stick as the VIU Mari-ners claimed the fi rst set 25-23. Known for their tenacity, including an 18-16 fi fth-set win in Saturday’s semi, the Cougars rebounded in the second, fi nding a groove of their own, as ACAC Wom-en’s Volleyball Player of the Year Price took control of the set for the Cougars – claiming the second frame 25-20.

Whatever was working for the Cougars in the sec-ond certainly didn’t carry over to the third set, as MRU found themselves nearly helpless, surrender-ing points at an alarming rate, while making unchar-acteristic errors in drop-ping the third 25-16. Looking down and out af-ter playing a sub-par third set, the Cougars looked to storm back in the fourth set. Down 24-20 in set num-ber four, the Cougars clawed tooth and nail to 24-22 when after highlight reel rally, the Mariners had

thought they clinched the championship. After one offi cial ruled the ball out, almost certain-ly sealing the Cougars' fate, the head referee noticed the other offi cial had in fact ruled that the ball had been tipped. After a brief offi cials meet-

ing, the point was awarded to Mount Royal, turning the tide of the fourth set as the Cougars now trailed by one 24-23. Clearly shaken, the Cougars took advantage of their despondent oppo-nents, rattling off the next three points, and the set's fi nal six points, to grab the fourth set 26-24. “We went through a mo-ment where we lost and won it all in 45 minutes,” said head coach Sandra Lamb. With the momentum heavily on their side, the Cougars continued to keep their foot on the pedal, as Andrea Price reigned down kills, while the Cougars' de-fense dug balls at a remark-able rate. Taking an 8-4 lead into the break of the fi fth set, the Cougars would allow only three more points as they would cruise to a 15-11 fi fth-set win and the na-tional championship. Mount Royal had never won a CCAA Champion-ship since the school was incepted. “Obviously being the fi rst, we’re really proud and it took a full team eff ort to come out with that victory,” said Lamb. “Th ere’s nothing that brings a team together more than what we went through. It’s something they’ll remember forever

and tie them for the rest of their lives.” After having time on the court taking pictures after the game, the girls had their moment together, sharing tears and words. “Andrea had probably her best weekend of the year – no better time than that.

She was our rock and our go-to and completely de-served winning MVP,” said Lamb. “Andrea’s got two years left of eligibility, and we’ll sit down with a meeting to put out a game plan for her and see what she wants to do. Th ere are a lot of options

out there, and we want her to stay on the right track both on and off the court,” said Lamb.

Th e 2011 Speedo Age Group Championships are the provincial champion-ships for swimmers aged 14 and under, and took place March 11 to 13, at the Tal-isman Centre in Calgary. Drumheller Aquadin-nies sent seven swimmers to compete for individual awards, team awards, and to represent Drumheller.

Brock Hoel, 9, earned three silver medals in 200 Back, 200 Free and 50 Back, swam eight individ-ual events, improved times in 100 Back, 100 Free, 50 Free, 200 Back, 400 Free, 200 Free, and 50 Back. Brock also set fi ve new club records. Brock’s swims earned 148 team points. Janae Hoel, 11, qualifi ed at Age Group Trials to com-plete at Age Group Cham-

pionships, Janae swam in six events and improved her time in 100IM. Janae swam very well against the best in the province in the 11–12 year old female cat-egory. Alan Lister, 14, swam to a national qualifying time in 50 Back, 30.46, making him the fourth Drumheller boy in the 15 and under catego-ry. Th ere was a lot of pres-sure on Alan from his team-mates Austin Knibb, Devon Chernow and Parker Knibb as achieving this time en-ables the boys to swim in the team relay events at Nationals in Montreal this summer. Alan swam six individual events, improved times in 100 Back, 100 Free, 200 IM, 50 Free, 100 Fly, and 50 Back. Alan also set a new club record in 100 Free. Al-an’s swims earned 26 team points. Josiah Fletcher, 13, joined Devon Chernow, Parker Knibb, and Alan Lister to compete in the 13-14 year old male relays. Th e boys swam to 7th place in the 400m Free Relay with a time of 4:15.17, earning 12 team points, and 8th place in the 200m Free Relay, with 1:53.55, earning 11

team points. Relays are al-ways fast and fun to watch. Devon Chernow, 14, swam six individual events, setting two new club re-cords in 50 Back and 100 IM and improving his national time in 50 Back to 30.06, swam improved times in 50 Free, a club record in the 100 IM with 1:08.00, and earned 37 team points. Parker Knibb, 13, swam eight individual events, set-ting two new club records in 50 Fly (29.20) and 100 Fly (1:06.59) improved times in 100 Back, 100 Free, 200 IM, 50 Back, and earned 31 team points. Th e third and fi nal day of the 2011 Speedo Alberta Age Group Championships included the presentation of the Youth Recognition Awards to the swimmers from each age group who have earned this designa-tion. Th e Youth Recognition Awards program provides a t-shirt and march-out before the start of fi nals as a way to recognize the achievements of the rising stars in Alberta. Th e 2011 season saw the highest number of award winners to date, with over 100 swimmers earning the recognition standard. Th is

year’s presentation includ-ed Parker Knibb with a Top 10 Canadian Swimmer and Austin Knibb with a Top 25 Canadian Swimmer t-shirt award. To fi nish the weekend, all the team points were calculated, and 1st Place Small Team Award was presented to the Drumhell-er Aquadinnies. Th e Swim Alberta Team banner will be displayed at the pool as recognition. Top fi ve small teams were: Drumheller to-tal team points 269; Sylvan Lake Nauticals, 113.5; Co-chrane Comets, 96; Leduc Otters, 75; and the Lloyd-minster Rip Tides with 50 points. “We as a team are proud of the accomplishments that these athletes have achieved, as you work hard and set your goals high,” said parent Diane Knibb. “What a way to round up a very successful short course season.” Drumheller plans to at-tend the Chinook Invita-tional meet in April, and training will continue for our Senior and Elite swim-mers as we begin the long course 50m pool season.
