Two of the Valley’s local art-ists are being recognized for their songwriting talents. Th e Fire Coulee Bandits and Joe Vickers are fi nalists in the Calgary Folk Festival’s song-writing competition. Th e Ban-dits for their song Old Willie and Vickers for Into the Dark-ness. Into the Darkness is the fi rst track in Vickers' newest album, “Valley Home” made for the mining centennial. Th e song was inspired by Vickers' great grandfather and many of the miners who came to the Valley and tells the story of an immigrant who arrives in Canada, makes his way out west to work in the coal mines. Vickers is quite excited the song was selected, especially considering he had poured so much into making the album. Th is will be the fi rst solo appearance by Vickers in the competition, he had been in it twice before as part of Audio Rocketry. Vickers has also been se-lected to participate in a pres-tigious songwriting work-shop run by Bill Henderson, of Chilliwack fame, and Roy Forbes. For the Bandits, this will be their fi rst original song sub-mitted to any competition. “Now that we’ve started to record our original material, we thought it would be nice to enter some of it into competi-tion,” said Mike Dooley, who plays acoustic guitar. “To have a song chosen and our work recognized as a fi nalist is a huge honour.” Old Willie was written by lead vocalist and guitar Layne
Syvertsen several years ago. Th e song is about a man who lives on the road and is going through some hardship. It was also infl uenced by the Bandits' trip to Fernie, B.C., to play a St. Patricks Day show several years ago. When developing their original material, the Bandits wanted the song on their fi rst album. “It was something that we were playing around with and we knew we wanted to adapt
it for the whole band,” said Dooley. “Th e whole point of the song is that he’s going to keep going no matter what.” Th e Bandits started their ca-reer rocking the classic tunes, but have been increasing their repetoire of originals songs to the point where they are working on their fi rst album. Th e Bandits have also been attracting greater attention from out of town. “We’re starting to get a lot of attention outside of Drum-
heller, which is cool,” said Dooley. “We enjoy going out and playing for new crowds, but we love our Drumheller fans who come out and sup-port us. We really appreciate that.” Both Vickers and the Fire Coulee Bandits will be playing
their respective songs at the Ship and Anchor in Calgary on Saturday, May 5. Fans are more than welcome to come explained Dooley. “Come out and support us on May 5 and listen to some great music.”

It is time for residents to dig out that dusty shoebox under the bed, or grab the cotton bag out of the sock drawer and head down to the Ramada this weekend, there might be a buck or two in it for you. International Coin Col-lectors (ICC) is on tour and will be making a stop in Drumheller, at the Ramada. Th e group is looking to pur-chase coins, paper curren-cy, gold and silver on behalf
of their global network of collectors, dealers and re-fi neries. Th is special event is free and open to the pub-lic.
“We hope to spend at least $250,000 while we are in town, purchasing people’s old coin collections, vintage bank notes and scrap gold and silver. It’s been all over the news – gold and silver are trading at record highs – and people everywhere are scrambling to cash in. We buy a lot of class rings, mismatched earrings and broken necklaces. Just a small handful of gold can add up to hundreds of dol-lars very quickly,” said ICC spokesman Dennis Couts. Th e ICC hosts hundreds of events each year where local residents are encour-aged to bring in their pre-cious metals, old coins and paper money to earn extra cash. While meeting one-on-one with each guest, the ICC specialists review, research and evaluate the items and will make an of-fer to purchase all gold coins, silver coins made be-fore 1965 and paper money printed prior to 1934. Th e amount of the off er depends on the silver or gold content, the collect-ability, the rarity and the condition of the items. If the guest decides to accept the off er made, a check will be issued on the spot. “Old coins are also very valuable. An ultra-rare 1894 S Barber dime sold for a whopping $1.9 million in 2007,” said Couts. “We recently paid $120,000 for a coin collection in N.C. and even $300 for a single penny in Ga. I encourage everyone to clean out their drawers, lock boxes, jewel-lery boxes and bring their items to our show for a free evaluation and perhaps walk out a little richer!” Th e show is located at the Ramada Inn and Suites and starts Wednesday, April 11. It runs until Sunday, April 15. Th e show hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Chicken Crescent Roll Casserole
I was trying to come up with an Easter recipe and in the meantime, made this delicious dish.
We relate Easter with eggs, and since eggs come from chickens, I fi gure this is suitable!It is also a nice meal to serve a number of people for Easter dinner.
I adapted the original recipe to use the new Philadelphia Cream Cheese cooking sauce because I was dying to try it.
Sauce:1 can cream of chicken soup¾ cup Swiss Cheese (or you can use cheddar or other type)½ cup creamMix and heat until cheese melts.
Filling:1 tub of Philadelphia Cream Cheesecooking sauce1 tsp garlic powder1/3 cup chopped onions2 cups chopped, cooked chicken½ cup grated cheddar cheeseStir all together.2 cans Pilsbury Refrigerated Crescent Rolls1-2 cups grated cheddar for topping
Unroll the crescent rolls. Place 1 heaping Tbsp chicken mixture on each triangle, then roll starting at the thicker end.
Drizzle a small amount of the sauce mixture in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.
Place the rolls seam side down in the casserole dish. Drizzle with remaining sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese.
Bake at 350 for about half an hour.
*If you don’t fi nd the Cream Cheese sauce, use 4 oz . soft cream cheese and 4 Tbsp. butter plus 2-4 Tbsp. mayonnaise or whipping cream (depending on the consistency of the mixture)
This is a pretty rich dish. You could try substituting light cream cheese and skim milk in place of the creams, and skip the cheddar topping altogether.

Chuckwagons will con-tinue to roar at Dinosaur Downs this summer. inSide Drumheller re-ported in its February 10 edition that the WPCA had decided not to return to Drumheller this summer, stating it was a drivers’ de-cision. Th e Drumheller Stam-pede and Ag Society has joined forces with the Al-berta Professional Chuck-wagon and Chariot Asso-ciation (APCCA) to see chuckwagon and chariot races this summer. P r e s i -dent of the Ag Society Mike Han-sen says the organization has done shows in Alberta, Saskatch-ewan and B.C. Th e show in-cludes chariot races as well as pony chucks. He says the action is great on the track. “Th e horses are the same size, just the wagons are smaller,” said Hansen. “Th ey
have about 45 wagons com-ing, and about 40 chariots.” Th ey run the same num-ber on the track with four per heat. Th e event is slated for Au-gust 24-26 for a three-night show. Th e APCCA began in 1968 when it registered as a society and has been running events ever since. Shane Cartier is currently president. He has a race resume that started in the APCCA, but took him to the WPCA and the CPCA. Th is year there are 16 shows scheduled.
R e s i d e n t s and business-es wanting to get into the action will have a chance very shortly to support
the event. Th e tarp auction for the race is on May 5 at Dinosaur Downs. While the WPCA moved to a sat-ellite auction for all of their events, each APCCA show will have a local auction, and all of the drivers will be attending.
According to Hansen, this is the fi nal show of the APCCA schedule. It runs a season points race and a champion will be crowned. Th e Drumheller Stam-pede and Ag Society have a busy summer ahead. Han-sen said the IMCA stock cars will be retuning and opening the season on
Canada Day weekend. Th e demo derby will also con-tinue its historic run. For more information on the chuckwagons and chariots go to www.chuck-wagon.ab.ca. For more in-formation on Ag Society events go to www.drum-hellerstampede.com
“The horses are the same size, just
the wagons are smaller.”

• • • • • • Mayor Terry Yemen opened Council by proclaiming April 28, 2012 the Workers' Compensation Board Day of Mourning in remembrance of workers who have been killed, injured, or dis-abled in their place of work.
• • • • • • A public hearing was held in regards to Bylaw 04.12, that would amend the Land Use Bylaw, 10.08, by redesignating a portion of the area on 9 St NW, on the northern bank of the Red Deer River, from a Country Residential (CR) to an R1. The change would create a new lot, and enlarge several others. Councillor Doug Stanford left the hearing due to a conflict of interest. A representative from Palliser explained that the redesignation is consistent with the Land Use Bylaw and recommended a third reading. From the gallery, Jay O'Dwyer, who lives along the same street, opposed the change. He felt there should be a strategic plan in place, the change is inconsistent with the area, and a thorough and proper job be done on any future subdivision. Councillor Andrew Berdahl asked if an area structure plan was needed in this case. CAO Ray Romanetz replied the plan is only required in areas designated Urban Transitional (UT). Councillor Berdahl commented the owner of the land being subdivided went through the proper steps in asking for the change, but cautioned that he should work closely with the Town and his neighbours. Councillor Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk asked why the area is still CR. It was explained that under such a designation there is poten-tial for uses of the land in the future, such as a public area.
• • • • • • After the hearing was concluded the agenda and minutes from the last Council meeting were adopted. Councillor Berdahl requested direction from Council for the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) to encourage the com-mission. Council was then informed by CAO Romanetz that a landscape architect would soon be brought to town.
• • • • • • A request was made by the Drumheller Library board to appoint Darlene Raketti to the Marigold Library System Board. The motion was carried.
• • • • • • A motion was made for a second reading of Bylaw 04.12. Councillor Stanford once again excused himself from the meet-ing. Councillor Tom Zariski asked if Council could send Bylaw 04.12 back to the MPC with a request to include an area structure plan. CAO Romanetz replied that Council could oppose further readings, but the process would have to start again from scratch. Both second and third readings were carried. Councillor Sharel Shoff asked the owner of the land to care-fully plan any future developments.
• • • • • • The public portion of the meeting was ended. Council then continued with an in-camera matter.

Homeowners know no home is perfect. While the notion of a dream house is nice, ev-ery home eventually experi-ences a problem or two. Many problems are bound to occur sooner or later, but there are a few that diligent homeowners can prevent. One of those preventable problems is fl ooding. Any home with fl oor drains or plumbing fi xtures below street level can fl ood, and this can be due to inclement weather, such as heavy rainstorms, lo-cal sewer system backup, or groundwater swelling. Flood-ing can even happen in the spring when melting occurs as the air temperature increases. While homeowners won't be able to control the weather,
they can take steps to fl ood-proof their home.* Do some preventive land-scaping. If the ground around the home's foundation slopes toward the house, make some grading changes so that the ground slopes away from the home.* Insulate the heating ducts. Some home heating ducts are under the basement fl oor. In such homes, homeowners should make sure these ducts are properly insulated and wa-tertight.* Make sure the vents all lead outside the home. Th e weath-er can cause moisture issues, but some moisture problems can come from inside the home as well. Clothes dryers and bathrooms are both in-
ternal moisture sources, and these sources should always be vented outside the home.* Clean gutters and down-spouts. Gutters and down-spouts should be cleaned to ensure water is eff ectively being diverted away from the home. Clean gutters and downspouts in the spring af-ter a long winter, and do so again in the fall to keep fallen leaves from blocking the fl ow of water. Downspouts should extend four feet from the out-side wall of the house.* Inspect the home at least once a year. Before buying a home, buyers often hire a pro-fessional inspector to ensure the home is safe and sound. But the inspections should not stop once buyers sign on
the dotted line. To prevent fl ooding, homeowners should inspect their home's founda-tion for cracks once a year. If the home has a chimney and fi replace, check for cracks there as well. If any cracks are discovered, consult a profes-sional immediately.* Clean out basement drains. Basement drains should be cleaned annually from the house to the street. If the drains are still slow after cleaning, then clean them more than once a year.* When leaving the home for
an extended period of time, turn the water valve off . Hom-eowners worried about fl ood-ing can calm those fears when going on vacation or another long trip by turning the water valve off at the source. Th is en-sures that, should a line break while no one is home, water will not pump into the house. Floodproofi ng a home can save homeowners from po-tentially costly repairs and unsightly damage to a home's interior.

Well I am sure by now some of you have started some seeds in the house and are watching to see what grows. Good for you because I haven’t done any thing yet. I will try and get you started if you haven’t al-ready with some info on starting Marigold seeds at home. The Latin Names: Tagetes erectus tall marigolds Tagetes patula short marigolds Triploids are a cross between the two mentioned above Two others that where listed are: Asteraceae and Candula which I am not sure about but they are possibly in the same family Marigolds originated in Mexico and have been hybridized to produce many types of fl owers and many diff erent heights. The seed can be sown outside a week or so before the last frost or started in the house. Germination of most kinds only takes 3 to 5 days and they normally grow quite quickly so don’t be in too big a hurry to get them going. You will need something for a seed tray; lots of varieties are sold in the stores or I have used milk cartons cut down the center and they also seem to work. Just make sure they are washed out re-ally well and maybe run them through a bleach water solution. Get a nice potting soil that has a good quantity of vermiculite in it and fi ll your seed trays. Sprinkle the seed on top, trying not to get them too thick as they are easier to trans-plant later on. Water lightly and then cover with a little more soil and water again. They don’t have to be kept really wet just damp. Usually any of the seeds you purchase have some kind of in-structions on the back of the package. Place in a warm, bright place and you will see the seeds sprout before you know it. Let them get at least four leaves on them be-
fore you try and transplant them. They can be put in nearly anything, but make sure you plant them down in the soil so they only have the leafs showing. This will make them a bit stronger in the end and they should get a good root system going before you have to put them outside. They should likely have a couple of weeks in their new little pots before setting them outside. I would usually try and give them sometime outside in their pots before actually setting them outside as it’s a lot diff erent environment outside than in. The rule of thumb around here is the long weekend in May but I know folks have done it sooner and then are able to cover things up if the danger of frost or snow is forecast. Again plant-ing them in well prepared soil is best but really they will grow nearly anywhere. They need full sun and try not to let them dry out for the fi rst while after transplanting to give them a chance to get their roots established. Marigolds are said to be good companion plants for a lot of our garden vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes and roses. There are others that are listed but folks seem to disagree on them so I haven’t listed them. They repel nematodes, aphids, beet leaf hoppers and eelworms to name a few. They are also said to product a pesticide chemical from their roots that last after the plants themselves are gone. It is suppose to be able to inhibit the growth of some weeds but it may also inhibit the growth of some tender herbs so watch for that if you are an herb grower. This is apparently why it will discourage the eelworms also. Well, that’s about it for now so have fun plan-ning the garden and try to plant a few marigolds. If you have a gardening question for Jackie, just send it by email to [email protected].

TIP
Ecoscaping is a growing trend among homeowners who want to take
care of their lawns and landscapes but want to do so in a way that’s environmentally friendly. Integrating both landscape architecture and spatial planning with environmental science,
ecoscaping is meant to help homeowners cre-ate a sustainable and eco-friendly landscape design. It’s natural to assume that ecoscaping
includes looking for ways to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides, but there are many addi-
tional ways homeowners can embrace ecoscap-ing. Th is includes removing or refusing to
plant invasive plants that are diffi cult to control because they are from diff erent ecosystems and can threaten local wildlife and existing plants. Instead of choosing exotic plants that aren’t
native to the area, choose native plants that are accustomed to the local climate. Another way to embrace ecoscaping is to develop a planting
strategy wherein plants are planted in benefi cial growing conditions that
can eliminate the need for chemicalfertilizers and excessive watering.

BREAK
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, although you may have your mind set on one outcome, it might be good to expect the unexpected this week. Keep your eyes and ears open.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Think of this week as the opportunity to rest and recharge, Taurus. Schedule a family movie night or lounge in the yard instead of packing your schedule.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you have been thinking about getting into something creative, and your plans just may come to fruition soon. You just have to fi nalize some of the details.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, keeping secrets doesn't often turn out well because sooner or later those secrets are revealed. Honesty usually is the best way to go in most situations.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Beating the doldrums could involve some creative thinking, Leo. If you're fresh out of ideas, you can ask someone you are close to for some suggestions.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you are on the road to recovery from an issue that's been bothersome. This recovery is long overdue, but you will be stronger for having gone through these trials.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, it's good to go with the fl ow, but speak up for yourself from time to time, especially when something is important to you. Your opinions count, too.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Sometimes there is no shortcut to success, Scorpio. You just have to trudge through and hope that all the effort will be worth it in the long run.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, someone is worried about you and this week you will recognize their concerns. Maybe the worry is because you have been out of touch for so long.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, when a new career path is presented to you, it may be diffi cult to decide whether you should make a move. Go with your gut and trust your instincts.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Those close to you are fi nding your more accommodating nature very appealing, Aquarius. This new attitude is bound to paint you in a new light.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you have a huge support system in the way of family and friends. Expect them to rally behind you when needed.

Th e Badlands Community Facility has now been open for just over a month, but one area has remained off limits during that time, the new location of the Drumheller Public Library. On Saturday, April 14, the Library will open its doors to the public during their grand
opening. Th e event will be the fi rst chance for residents to check out the new Library. During the day, residents can be given a tour, there will be childrens crafts, coff ee, muffi ns, and a cake cutting at 1:30 p.m. to cel-ebrate. Th e move for the Library has been drawn out longer than
had been originally planned. Th e plan prior to the facility being opened, was that the Li-brary would open with the rest of the building. “We had shelving compli-cations and it’s hard to con-trol that,” explained Melissa D’Onofrio-Jones, director of library services. “Without shelves, we couldn’t unpack. But, the new shelves look good.” Th e shelves had to be painted and shipped to the Library, but delays pushed back unpacking. Some of the shelves only ar-rived on Monday, April 9. With the delays, library staff only began shelving the mas-sive collection of books on Monday. By the next day, the majority of the books had al-ready found their homes on the shelves. Th is is the fi rst time D’Onofrio-Jones had been in-volved in moving an entire li-brary collection. “I’ve never moved a library before. Th is was an interest-ing experience early in my ca-reer,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. “It’s been as good as can be ex-pected, it’s been a big move. I think the end product is great. It’s a library Drumheller can be proud of.” Library staff had packed most of the collection at the
end of February and then Town of Drumheller crews be-gan moving boxes over to the new facility in the beginning of March. Since the move began, the Li-brary has been running partial service out of the Civic Centre. Rougly 300 books remained and residents were able to or-der books in from other librar-ies. “It went smoothly. I think the public appreciated being able to order anything from 200 plus libraries. I’m glad we did it, because we would have been closed if we didn’t have partial
service,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. D’Onofrio-Jones went on to explain the downside was that programs had to be halted while the move was happen-ing. Th e new location has a lot to off er, improving markedly be-yond the Civic Centre location. “Come and see the new Drumheller Public Library,” said D’Onofrio-Jones. “It off ers a lot of opportunities with the programs rooms, larger space, and reading areas. We’re ex-cited to settle in and provide regular service.”

In just over a week, residents of Drumheller are encouraged to come out and show their civic pride by helping make Drumhell-er a cleaner place. On April 23, the day after Earth Day, Communities in Bloom, En-cana, and the Royal Tyrrell Mu-seum are sponsoring this year’s Valley Trash Challenge, where volunteers lend a hand and pick up the litter that plagues the town. All day, until 4 p.m., residents and businesses are asked to take some time, grab a garbage bag, and collect some litter that has been accumulating in the val-ley. Afterwards, between 4 and 6 p.m. the Heartwood Inn is host-ing a barbecue with food and drinks provided by Encana. “It’s a chance for people to help the town,” said Trish Parker, pres-ident of Communities in Bloom. “I think if tourists don’t see all the trash, they’ll be more likely to stay or come back.” Across the street from the Heartwood Inn, in the area next to the recycling bins, a garbage dumpster will be provided for the bags residents fi ll. Th e Valley Trash Challenge was spawned originally from the eff orts of Encana volunteers fi ve years ago, explained Luigi Ves-carelli, Community Relations Of-fi cer with Encana.
“In the spirit of our volunteer program, we looked at an event that we, and our families, could do together,” said Vescarelli. “I got in touch with the Town of Drumheller and asked if they would be receptive to us going out and cleaning up some of the garbage.” Afterwards, other organiza-tions began similar initiatives in-dependently. “Th e Museum takes pride in keeping our trails and green spaces clean and free of garbage. Earth Day is the perfect day for us to concentrate on making a diff erence,” said Mike Dooley, public relations and new media coordinator of the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Everyone joined forces and the Valley Trash Challenge was born. Parker hopes the day will help encourage people to not litter and for residents to help keep the town litter free year round, for example cleaning up litter when walking a dog. “Th at’s one thing to be com-mended,” said Parker. Everyone is encouraged to come out, help, and enjoy the free barbecue afterwards. “It’s great to see the town sup-ports the initiative to make our town green and as beautiful as possible,” said Dooley. “Th ere’s that sense of pride when you look at the town and it’s cleaner,” said Vescarelli.
Valley Trash Challenge cleaning up the town
Litter can be found all over Drumheller, especially along the river trail system. Residents are encouraged to come out on Monday, April 23, for the Valley Trash Challenge. During the day, people are asked to help beautify the town by picking up litter. From 4 to 6 p.m., the Heart-wood Inn will be hosting a barbecue for volunteers, with food and drinks provided by Encana.

Brush fi re near Horseshoe Canyon
At 9:15 a.m., Wednesday morning, fi re crews responded to a brush fi re that had broken out roughly 2 km northwest of the Horseshoe Canyon lookout point. The Drumheller, Dalum, Rosebud, Kneehill County, and Rockyford Fire Departments arrived on scene to extin-guish the blaze. The task was made more diffi cult due to the dense brush and the steep terrain. Crews quickly got control of the blaze and remained on scene afterwards to take care of hot spots.

Spring has come and with it all of the outdoor sports residents love. Th e soccer fi elds will be teeming with teams, tennis courts will see a renewed use, and the slo-pitch teams will head home to the ball diamonds. One group in particular can’t wait to hit the fi eld.
Th e Pure Venom softball team will be taking another swing at gold during the 2012 season which starts on April 28. Despite the slightly more frigid weather, the girls have been practicing in-doors since early January. “Th ey’re looking great this year and picking up ev-erything we’ve been prac-ticing,” said head coach Brent Sands. “Hopefully, we can continue with what we did last year.” Last year was an impres-sive season for the team. In their league, they won gold. In provincials, they won sil-ver. In their entire 2011 sea-son, they won all but three games, and each loss was only by a single run, includ-ing the battle for the gold medal in provincials. Although the team has been confi ned inside for practices, they have still been able to work on vir-
tually every aspect of the game, including batting (with softer balls). Th is year, on top of their quest for more gold, the team will be playing in the Midget (17-19 years old) di-vision, rather than the Ban-tam as in 2011. Th e change means quite a few new op-ponents as well as some old ones who have made the change as well. Th e change doesn’t worry Sands. “In the provincial tourna-ment last year, they ended up playing in the under 19 category and they did quite well,” said Sands. Th e roster has remained the same, apart from sev-eral new recruits, including a player from Strathmore. Th e girls will begin the season on April 28 in Cal-gary.

The ladies of the 2011 Pure Venom softball team had a championship year, winning gold in their league and silver at provincials. The team will be heading up to the plate again on April 28 and will
be swinging for another grand slam of a season. The roster is largely unchanged, but does have sev-eral more players this year.
