Parking

Due to public dissatisfaction of the par-allel parking on both sides of 3rd Av-enue between 1st Street and 2nd Street downtown, town council has decided to reinstate angle parking for the summer months. Council went in camera at Mon-day night’s council meeting and returned to open council to pass the changes. Busi-nessman Doug Wade told inSide Drumhell-er council has made this decision to bene-fi t the businesses and residents, and also to accommodate the summer tourism visi-tors. “I have been involved in this since the beginning and have always believed that angle parking is the best situation for all concerned,” said Wade. “Having said that, downtown merchants are baffl ed with the fl ip fl op by town council and question if the changes will become permanent.”

Council will vote on whether to approve a raise for the mayor’s posi-tion after a citizen group tasked to review elected offi cials' compensation recommended Mayor Ter-ry Yemen be paid just over $10,000 more per year. Th e Elected Offi cial Numeration Task force, chaired by Bob Hannah, recommended Yemen be paid $35,000 a year, after comparing his salary to 11 other communities of similar size. Th e mayor’s position currently pays $24,255 a year, including expense allowances.

Th e recommendations brought to council on March 28 will be either put into eff ect or denied at the April 11 town council meeting. Task force member Irv Gerling told inSide Drum-heller the town’s head po-sition was, on average, 25 per cent underpaid com-pared to the other mu-nicipalities. Th e salary in-cludes a general expense allowance. After a new council is elected every three years, citizens are appointed to the task force to review compensation of the elect-ed offi cials.

“We didn’t go after this. We’re just follow-ing through with what the bylaw said, and this is the recommendation that came through from the people of Drumheller.” “I was surprised to see how far behind Drumhell-er has fallen compared to other communities,” says Yemen. Gerling said, “Th ere’s more transparency com-pared to talking to pro-vincial bodies or MLAs, where they automatically vote themselves whatever they want with no public input. “From almost a demo-cratic or transparency view, they are accepting information from an un-biased group. We were looking at what’s fair from other municipal bodies of similar size,” says Gerling. Gerling said the council-lors' compensation is on par with other commu-nities. Typically in other towns, Gerling said the mayor is paid 1.9 times what councillors make. Councillors are currently being paid $16,135.00, in-cluding general expense allowance. “Th at was an-other angle we looked at when we were reviewing the salary,” he said. Th e communities which salaries were compared to were Beaumont, Ed-son, High River, Hinton, Lacombe, Olds, Panoka, Rocky Mountain House, Sylvan Lake, Stettler, and Taber.

Th e most signifi cant fundraiser for the East Cou-lee School Museum is fast approaching as the line-ups have been set for the 17th annual East Coulee Sprin Fest. On Saturday, April 16, a list of 28 bands stretching across genres of folk, coun-try bluegrass, rock, and eclectic acts such as gypsy and Celtic will take stage in East Coulee. “We have every single genre except rap and heavy metal, but if we found a metal act with a fi ddle and a banjo we’d accept them too,” laughs Brent Nolan, president of the Dinosaur Valley Heritage Society and one of two organizers who narrowed down the list of 65 band applications. Local bands are made to be sure they have room, but bigger acts who brought the house down last year will return. For nearly two decades, fans in Drumheller and ones from across Alberta will gather in East Coulee

for 12 straight hours of mu-sic. Bands from as far away as Toronto are travelling to do-nate their time and money to the event. Nolan believes it’s the charm of East Coulee and the no-strings-attached music which drives them to put out the eff ort. “When you take the mon-ey, the lawyers, the waivers out of the equation, it be-comes kind of magical,” he said. Nolan said about half of the festival attendees are from Drumheller, while the other half travels from as far as Edmonton to take in the sights and sounds. Th e demographic of pre-vious years has seen people in the ages of 40-50 domi-nate the crowd, with the 20-30 year olds peaking as well. Th ey are trying to appeal to the younger crowds at this year’s event. Th ey’ll be conducting geological tours out of the East Coulee School Muse-um. Th is year will bring a re-

vitalization to the East Cou-lee School Museum in how they operate and programs they’ll off er, Nolan says. SpringFest, which brought in nearly $12,000 for the museum last year, is instru-mental in changing the way the school museum works.

“We’ll be focusing on things we do well, and changing to seasonal op-eration,” Nolan said, adding they plan to host smaller SummerFest and FallFest events this year. Nolan said this year SpringFest organizers have not been successful in get-ting accommodations do-nated as they have in past years.

Th e Morgan Jayne Project continues its support fami-lies in Honduras who are battling to live in the face of

poverty and AIDS. Familias Saludables, the agency that delivers the Morgan Jayne Project in Roatan has embarked on

a new endeavour, and the Morgan Jayne Project is lending its support.

Founder of the Morgan Jayne Project, Fred Ma-kowecki, tells inSide Drum-

heller Familias Saludables has a new school up and running. He explains the agency, with the help of the Morgan Jayne Project, has been successful and now some of the children who have been given a new lease on life are at the age of entering school. Because of sheer poverty and the stigma of AIDS, sometimes a good education is out of reach. “We want to break the endless chain of poverty. Not only have these chil-dren cheated death through the project, but now we want to lift them up through education,” he said. He adds that for some of the families that are desti-tute, if one member of the family gains an education and secures a good job, it can pull the whole family up. To help the school thrive, the Morgan Jayne Project has begun a book collection to supply the school with reading material for the children as well as curricu-lum. He has canvassed the schools and it is his hope that when the school year ends and schools are pull-ing books or discontinuing a curriculum, they would be able to collect these vol-umes. To run a proper class he said he would be in need of about 20 books as well as a teacher’s guide. “Th is is a way to make a huge diff erence in a soci-ety, it is really exciting,” said Makowecki. Already the community has responded to this latest eff ort and he has begun a collection of books. He said right now they are storing them to be sorted so that priority materials will be the fi rst to be shipped. Th ey are also looking for donations to help ship the books. Because of chang-es to the mail system, the books can be shipped di-rectly to the island. Often the Morgan Jayne Project ships through the United States. While this can be more cost eff ective, they will use this route for hu-manitarian aid such as the Morgan Jayne Project’s pri-mary focus of sending in-fant formula for children of mothers who are HIV posi-tive. For more information, contact Makowecki at Im-age Crafter at 403-823-8082.

ON THE EDGE OF COMMON SENSE by Baxter Black, DVM www.baxterblack.com

I was pondering on the seemingly frivolous tendency of humans to disregard some of the basic accom-

plishments that brought mankind to our esteemed place on the planet Earth in the 21st Century. For example, in order to move beyond the gathering roots and berries phase, they dis-covered the life-giving dense protein, meat.

In the progression of civilization they learned how to hunt. The benefi ts of adding meat to their diet were stupendous! In addition to the gift of time saved, the carcass provided leather and fur. Then came shoes, belts, slingshots, saddles, robes, blankets, and mammoth jerky! Not to mention insulin, ice cream and Jello!

The basic necessities of life; food, clothing and shelter, must be achieved before opera, texting and Monday Night Football. But in the midst of our progress, out steps our own version of Kim Jong ll…the bumbling animal rights group PETA! They stamp their feet and make outrageous threats; “Don’t wear fur or we’ll pour paint on you! Don’t use lab animals for re-search or we’ll…maybe somebody else, will burn down your laboratory! Don’t breed purebred dogs or we’ll get Big Sister HSUS to throw darts at you!”

But their stories grow tedious. I notice the wearing of fur is coming back into fashion. Of course, people “up north” never quit wearing fur. They still have that connection to the millions of ancestors who wore fur down through the ages.

I’m guessing the anti-fur advocates have been quietly buying stock in Chev-ron and BP. These advocates prefer that the Earth deplete itself of fossil fuels to make synthetic clothes before we should consider wearing coyote coats, mink collars or fox mucklucks. I should ask PETA why they have not encouraged people to go into the sheep business. Wool is nature’s greatest insulator. You can shear them every year, then eat them and use their parts. Modern animal science gets more out of the complete beast than even the Indians did! But nary a word from PETA. They could be endorsing Pendle-ton or the Navajos! Have their own blanket line or puppy vest.

Wool and fur are in the same venerable category as trees and water. They are practical, proven, Earth conscious, environmentally sound, globally use-ful, recyclable, all natural, fi rst choice for covering our naked bodies.

In typical deference, decent people have tolerated PETA’s verbal abuse and lunacy like we tolerate a spoiled child’s tantrums. I am glad they are losing relevance in the real world. Their kind could only exist at a time in Earth’s history when virtual reality, the next American Idol, and the Kardashian sis-ters dominate our culture.

Well, enough of that. Now where did I put my mastodon slippers, I need to go check my traps. 13b

New work celebrates Drumheller miners

and history


In conjunction with the cen-tennial of coalmining in the val-ley, another celebration of the industry that built Drumheller is happening on the pages of a new book. Lawrence Chrismas has been documenting mining and min-ers through photographs across Canada for decades. At the Drumheller May Day Celebra-tions, he will be releasing his latest work, called Coal in the Valley: Drumheller Miner Photo-graphs and Stories. “It is sort of a commemora-tive book,” Chrismas told inSide Drumheller. “Th is is the fi rst book I have devoted exclusively to the valley and the people I have photographed over the years. It has been a 30 year proj-ect.” Fresh out of university he went to work the Department of Mines and Energy. He came to the valley for the fi rst time in 1969. In 1979, he was in Can-more when the last coal mine was closed. Th ere he met men who worked for the same mining company upwards of 50 years, who were now watching the in-dustry die. Th is was the start of what became his life project. His fi rst work was a national project where he photographed people from Cape Breton to Vancouver Island. Th e fi rst place he documented

was the community of Minto in New Brunswick. “It grew from there, I realized I was doing something of consid-erable historic value and people we enjoying my photographs and stories of the miners,” he said. He relocated to Calgary from Ottawa in 1980 and shortly thereafter began coming out to the valley to photograph and in-terview. He purchased a miner’s shack in Cambria, which he still owns and uses as a base when he comes to the valley. Over the years, he has inter-viewed and photographed more than 4,000 miners and their fam-ilies. His body of work includes CoalDust Grins, which was shortlisted for the Roloff Beny Photography Book award. He also produced a music CD to ac-

company the work. He has also published books on the miners of Minto, Canmore and Alber-ta. His work has been displayed in public and private galleries across Alberta. While his work is extensive, he wishes he made a better historic record of all the of the names and faces he has come across in his research. “I sort of did it on a random basis. I didn’t think of document-ing everybody, and I wish I had,” he said. Th e book is about 120 pages with about 60 portraits of min-ers and family members, and in-cludes interviews and stories. It also includes some scenic and ar-chitectural images from the val-ley, as well as some photos from the Glenbow Museum Archives to show how the valley once

looked. While he bandied about the idea of a Drumheller book for some time, when he heard of the centennial activities, he pro-posed the book. Th e book will encapsulate photos he has taken over the years. While some will be recog-nizable from his previous works, some have never been published. “Sometimes I have tried to take a diff erent view of an indi-vidual I took as compared to one that has appeared in one of the other books,” he said. “It covers a period of 1982 to 2010. Some of it is quite recent.” “It is not a fi ne art book. I mean there are some wonder-ful images in there, and they are printed quite well, but there are some in there that are documen-tary, they are there to illustrate on individual or some aspect of Drumheller Valley.” While he has a digital kit, many of the photos were shot with an 8"x10" large format view camera, giving unsurpassed quality and the negatives were scanned in to be published. “Th ere is something special when you look at the book and see the portraits, you realize sometimes you get results with a view camera that you cannot get with a digital,” he said. Having said that, he is learning the ways of modern photogra-phy. “Th ere is quite a bit of art to the digital world too, and I am learning that. It has been a slow

curve. I have always had a digi-tal camera from when they fi rst came out, and now I have the fi nest digital camera you can get, with good lenses, but there is still more craft to it,” he said. “Getting a good black and white print is a challenge, and I welcome that.” Lawrence Christmas’ book will be offi cially released at the May Day Celebrations, and he will be holding a book signing on Satur-day, April 30 at the East Coulee School Museum, and on Sunday, May 1 in downtown Drumheller.

Elim Pentecostal Taber-nacle Church expressed in-terest in purchasing Central School at Monday’s council meeting, one of a couple communities players who are eyeing the building. Golden Hills School Di-vision decided in February to put Central School out to tenders after it is ap-praised. Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle (EPT) has been waiting for over a year for construction St. Anthony’s new building on North Di-nosaur Trail to be fi nished, after delays have pushed it back to a tentative August opening. “We thought we may as well investigate the pos-sibility of having Central School as one of our op-tions,” said Reverend Dan-iel Dannhauer, adding that

purchasing St. Anthony’s is currently their desire. Th e March 23 edition of Th e Drumheller Mail reported a group of com-munity organizations were hoping to secure Central School, in hopes of creating a central base of operations for clubs lacking space. Drumheller town council has also stated they will fol-low the tender process and estimate the repair/mainte-nance costs. Mayor Terry Yemen had said he didn’t believe the town funds were available for such a purchase. At the council meeting, Dannhauer and Reverend Blaine McDonald said the church had been in talks with the interested com-munity groups. Dannhauer said the community groups were interested in forming a “superboard”, but EPT

was only interested in leas-ing out extra space. “Th e problem is we are going to run out of space, no matter which building we are in,” said Dannhauer. “We’re looking for com-munity groups who want to have some space, but it’s not like we can house ev-erybody.”

Dannhauer said the church needs a new loca-tion as they hope to start a licensed, community day-care, and already there isn’t enough room for church-goers on Sunday morning.


"We thought we may as well investigate the

possibility of having Central School as

one of our options." Daniel Dannhauer

Th e chance to contribute to MS research in Drum-heller is fast approaching and organizers of the an-nual Enerfl ex MS Walk are looking for team registra-tions to help meet their $50,000 goal. Walk registration is down about 15 per cent compared to this time last year for the event, and organizer Dave Watson is asking for people to step up for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada fundraiser. “We know people haven’t thought about walking with this long, cold winter, but we need people to start signing up sooner so we can arrange funds,” said Wat-

son. Participation in the walk has been on a downward trend over the last few years, he said. “Th ere’s a trend we’re starting to see as we have not been getting the same amount of walkers as we once did,” Watson said, add-ing over the last four years they’ve seen a steady drop of participants – down 42 since four years ago. Last year’s MS Walk raised just under $47,000. Th eir goal has always been to gather $50,000. Th e Al-

berta Enerfl ex MS Walks raisied over $2.6 million in 2010. Th is year’s event will take place on Sunday, May 1. Organizers are looking for more youth teams to step up for the walk, as only one group, the Pink Pan-thers, participated last year. Teams are able to register online at www.mswalks.ca, or call the toll-free number 1-800-268-7582. Anyone interested in vol-unteering for the MS Walk can contact Watson at 403-820-4100.

Elim Pentecostal Church eyes Central School

At Monday’s council meeting, Elim Pentecostal Tab-ernacle Church expressed the possibility of attain-ing Central School once it is put up for sale by Gold-en Hills School Division. Although desiring to move

into St. Anthony’s once work on the new building is complete, church leaders said Central School may be the more economical solution.

Fort McMurray Suncor employees unearthed what could be a very signifi cant fi nd for the Tyrrell last Wednesday morning when an ankylosaur fossil was spotted on site. Scientists with the Royal Tyrrell Museum fl ew out Wednesday evening to fi nd the fossil, a strange exam-ine in that area. Th e Tyr-rell’s curator of dinosaurs Dr. Donald Henderson hy-pothesizes the body of the ankylosaur, a squat plant-eating dinosaur, fl oated out to sea and was preserved in the ocean bed. “It then very rapidly be-came a fossil, it wasn’t scavenged by sharks or other predators,” says Hen-derson, adding the fossil is completely three dimen-sional, whereas most fossils are fl attened by the earth over time. “We’ve only got scraps of bones from this time pe-riod,” he said while adding this fossil is about 50 mil-lion years older than typi-cal fi nds here in the south. It’s rare to fi nd something this old in the province, he says. “It’s a really excep-tional specimen.” Th e Tyrrell believes this is a signifi cant fi nd because ankylosaurs are quite rare, and this may be the oldest dinosaur found in Alberta so far.

“We’ve got all the armor in place, and because it's 3-D it’s kept all its shape. We even have impressions of the scales. We’re going to have to be very care-ful when we prepare it to not lose any information,” said Henderson. “It’s really amazing.” About 85 per cent re-mains at the Suncor site, but Henderson says it will probably take 2-3 years to chip away at the hard rock which surrounds us. Th is is the only fi nd in the area. Ankylosaurs were squat, plant-eating quadrupeds with powerful limbs and armour plating on their bodies. Th eir club-like tails were probably used for self-defence. Royal Tyr-rell scientists will return to Fort McMurray this week to supervise the removal of the specimen and its trans-portation to the museum for further study. Hender-son imagines it will take up to three days to remove the fossil. “Suncor and its staff de-serve a big thank you for recognizing this as a fos-sil and reporting it to us as quickly as they did,” said Andrew Neuman, Execu-tive Director of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. “Th is is a great example of a com-pany calling to report a fi nd and it turning out to be something of potentially major signifi cance.”

The Garneau BlockTodd Babiak

The Garneau Block by Todd Babiak was my book club’s choice for March.

The entire group unanimously voted positively on this read! Once again, a rare event for us. I think anyone who is at all familiar with Edmonton would enjoy this book simply for the mention of familiar places. Anybody who actually grew up or lived in Edmonton would enjoy it all the more! The assortment of odd and endearing characters is a selling point for those who may not identify with the setting of Edmonton, but merely for the familiarity of the people and their situations. You may fi nd yourself nodding, knowingly, being reminded of friends, family or even yourself in some of the characters or situations. The story centers around a handful of people who live in the same block (Garneau Block). Their lives are connected by a common thread when they discover the university is expanding and wanting to buy and knock down their houses.

Whyte Avenue and Strathcona are familiar areas where most of the “action” takes place. It is hard to get used to reading about going to Leduc or Red Deer when you are immersed in a book. Normally the places don’t have that homelike ring to them. Todd Babiak, the author, is a columnist for the Edmonton Journal. This book was serialized in the Journal beginning the fall of 2005. He is often compared to Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Café in his writing style and stories. I found this review from Canadian Living and I think it sums up the story very well:The Garneau Block is about an oddball cast of characters in a make-believe cul-de-sac in Edmonton, where life is one nonstop block party rife with political intrigue, neighbourly shenanigans, death, and romance.”- Canadian Living And on a food note, you just may want to have some hummus and baba ganoush on hand because, for some reason, they eat a lot of these dips in this book!

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, it's hard to concentrate this week but you have to try to devote your attention to the task at hand. Avoid distractions and focus on the job that needs to be done.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you're itching for a change but you don't know whether it should be a career change or a change in location. Think it over a little more.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, a cloud of uncertainty is looming over an important relation-ship. There's no surefi re way to know if this person is a keeper. You can only hang in there.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, just when you thought you had your mind made up something changes your entire line of thinking. Embrace this new line of thought.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, return to your comfort zone to ease some nerves and concerns. Take a calm, methodical approach to life this week and reap the rewards.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, take some time to yourself the next few days because the coming days fi gure to be hectic. It's time to start thinking about a vacation.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, opportunities to further your education present themselves in the coming days. Think about these op-portunities carefully before making any decisions.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, until you settle down, ex-pect your fi nances to be in a bit of disarray. It may be good to sit down with a planner and work through the bigger issues.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Unless you open up to others, you won't be making many friends this week. Try to explore other opportu-nities for socialization, Sagittarius. It could get lonely.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20There's more to you than you let oth-ers see, Capricorn. Sometimes leav-ing a little mystery can be a good thing. But don't let it get in the way of relationships.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Don't hold out on someone who has been counting on you, Aquarius. When you look at your schedule, you will fi nd you have time to fi t every-thing in.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20You may have to do a little damage control, Pisces. This week simply swallow your pride and get things done.

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcome by C. Aiello

Today’s column is pared down considerably from its original form. Th e original makes for a much more interesting read, but would hardly fi t in this space, and so... I was like most other teenagers, and could hardly wait to get my driver’s license. My father took no part in my learning how to drive. I took a driver’s education class, and my aunt took me driving in her vehicle. I eventually learned to keep it between the lines. Having done so, I then needed to learn the rules of the road and abide by them. After all this, and after persuading a driving test examiner that I was fi t to operate a motor vehicle, I was granted my teenage passport to freedom, a driver’s license. Oh joy. Th e last step to teenage auto freedom is asking Dad for the keys to the fam-ily car. Th e opinions of a driving instructor and a provincial examiner don’t hold much water with an anxious parent whose insurance premiums just in-creased by half. Th is last step is the cause of much angst, for both the parent and the one seeking the car keys. Th e approach must be one of responsibility, you must show that you are worthy. It helps to have a friend who already has a license, and one whom your father considers a responsible young fellow. In my fi rst years of driving, 1968-1972, my father owned a gold coloured Mercury Montclair, a big sedan, with a 390 cubic inch engine, and 290 horse-power. Not great by today’s standards, but if you played the gas pedal just right, you could make the tires squeal, or so I was told. Pop parked the car in the garage during winter, and although it’s a two car garage, the width of the doors is such that if you didn’t drive straight in, if you were out half an inch on either side, you’d take off a mirror or scratch a fender. Doing either was cause for Pop to hold onto the keys a little tighter, and for me to be more angst ridden, so I became very careful when entering and exiting that garage. However harrowing the garage door seemed, my real nemesis lay waiting for me in the alley. In those days there was a drainage grate right in the middle of the alley, directly behind my driveway. In the winter, because it was a low spot, it became an icy spot - drop a wheel into it, and you were stuck. More than once did I drop a wheel into it, necessitating an embarrassing trip back into the house to tell Pop. He of course would make an issue of it, but would come out, get behind the wheel, with me behind the car pushing, fi nally free-ing it, allowing me to go on my way. Monday morning, as I stood in the shower, my mind fl ashed back to that grate and the grief it caused me. (It has since been moved.) Perhaps it was because of the deep ice ruts in my alley, and if I ever dropped a wheel into one of them... I cleaned the snow off the car, jumped in, started it up, put it in reverse, and backed slowly into the alley, my right front wheel dropping squarely into an icy rut. I was 16 again. I went into the house and called AMA. 20 minutes, I went back out to the car, when I saw a white van coming from the other al-ley. It was the plumber from up the street. He tried pushing me out, but to no avail. He walked back to the shop and came back with two other young fel-lows. After a few grunts I was free. I thank these guys most heartily, they are all friends. Funny thing is, it’s the fi rst time I ever called AMA for a tow, and got three plumbers instead. Th anks, guys.
