    Cooperation between Syn-crude and the Royal Tyrrell Museum has produced another spectacular fossil. On Novem-ber 14 Maggy Horvath, a heavy equipment operator for Syn-crude, uncovered the remains of a long-necked plesiosaur. I think its great that Im part of this, said Horvath. It felt pret-ty good to call my son and let him know that I found a prehistoric fossil. Long-necked plesiosaurs, more accurately known as elas-mosaurs, were a group of marine reptiles that lived from the late Triassic period, roughly 210 mil-lion years ago, to the end of the Cretaceous, 65 million years ago, when they went extinct. Th e group is characterized by having a large body, four ip-pers, a small tail, long neck, and small head. Th ey would have eat-en a wide variety of marine life, including sh and cephalopods. Th e long neck would have helped them ambush and quickly strike at prey. Horvath exposed a series of vertebrae and stopped digging in the immediate area. Horvath then told Syncrudes geologist, who noti ed the Tyrrell Muse-um. Last week the Tyrrell Museum dispatched a team of four to the site. Dr. Don Henderson, Cura-tor of Dinosaurs, Jim McCabe, Preparation Lab Supervisor, and technicians Mark Mitchell and Joe Sanchez assessed the nd. Th e team searched the site thoroughly for more material, but as of yet have not found anything more. Working with Syncrude employees, the team has been able to isolate the large rock, es-timated to weigh in excess of 6 tonnes, containing the fossil. Th e latest nd is the tenth to have been discovered on Syn-crude leases. Other remains in-clude an ichthyosaur, a dolphin-like marine reptile that oozed oil, and a short-necked plesiosaur skull. Both are on display at the Tyrrell Museum in the Alberta Unearthed exhibit. Th e last elasmosaur from the same area was recovered ten years ago and was given the name Wapuskanectes. Th e speci-men was only represented by the shoulder girdle and part of a front ipper. We are hoping that this is an-other specimen of the same kind of plesiosaur, explained Dr. Don Brinkman, Director of Preserva-tion and Research at the Tyrrell Museum. Th e new specimen is particularly important because it looks to be nearly complete. Th e new specimen is roughly 110 million years old, about 2

    millions years younger than the previous specimen. It may be something new, it may be the same thing, well nd out when we get prepared, said Brinkman. Preparation of the specimen may take some time. Weather conditions have prevented the Tyrrell team from bringing the specimen to the museum until spring. When conditions become favourable, museum crews will be able to stabilise the massive fossil and safety transport it to Drumheller.

    Registration day for Christmas assistance approaches

    Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

    While Christmas is just around the corner, there are many in the community who will have trouble making the season joyous, or even mak-ing ends meet. It may be someone you know, it may be really close to home. Th e Salvation Army provides Christmas ham-pers to those in need; however, those needing support are required to apply. Th e church is holding a sign-up day on Th urs-day, December 8 at the church in downtown Drumheller. Th ey will have sta on hand from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. to process applications, but they ask that those in need call 403-823-2215 for an appointment. While the Th ursday date is optimal for the church, it will accept appointments on other days. Lt. Rachel Sheils says it is helpful if registrations happen sooner rather than later. Th is allows time for better planning, the ability to help identify the needs in advance and be able to construct the hampers to suit the needs of the families. So far, the Salvation Armys Christmas cam-paign is going along well. Th ey are coming o a successful food drive, and this Saturday following the Santa Claus parade at 1 p.m. in downtown Drumheller, they are once again hosting a view-ing of Th e Polar Express at the Napier Th eatre at 2 p.m. Admission to the show is a donation of funds or food. Sheils said the kettle campaign is a little bit ahead of last year, but the rest of its campaigns are a little behind. Th ey are still in need of volunteers to man the kettles. Shifts are about two hours in length. Th e iKettle program is also continuing this year. Th is is a safe secure online way to donate to the Salvation Army. Although the donation is in

    cyberspace, the funds will ow directly to local programs. She says this is an easy way for some-one to donate using a credit card. Tax receipts are mailed directly to the person donating. Last hear the Drumheller Salvation Army n-ished in the top 10 in the country for iKettle do-nations, and this year they are right on track to do it again. To donate online go to www.salvation-army.ca/ikettle, or go to www.drumsa.org and fol-low the link. To volunteer for working a kettle, to register for a hamper or more information contact the Salva-tion Army at 403-823-2215.

    Thursday, December 8 has been set aside to help register those in need of Christmas assistance. There is also a need for kettle volunteers. For more information call 403-823-2215.

    A Drumheller man has put his mug on the line, in hopes that it is similar enough to one of Canadas top comics. Justin Bolin has entered the Calgary Sun Celebrity Look-alike contest, and he is looking for support to put him over the top. His celeb-rity look-alike is Russell Pe-ters. Bolin was among dozens of entries to the contest and he made the initial top 20 cut along with another local face, Nigel Tchir. From there, he has survived two more cuts down to ten nalists, and now three. Im pretty surprised he made top three, said his wife Dawn, who has been help-ing to spread the word to all their friends. He gets it a lot every time we go somewhere or are in an airport, people are ask-ing if he is Russell Peters, it is quite funny. He is up against a Carrie Underwood look-alike and a Katie Perry look-alike. If he wins, he is on his way to Los Angeles, where he will be put up in a four-star property in Hollywood, be treated to a movie star home tour and receive $500 spend-ing cash. To help Bolin win, you need to vote for him. Voting closes today (Friday). Go to http://www.calgarysun.com/rewards-and-contests and Click on Celebrity Look-alikes.

    Justin Bolin is looking for that extra push to put him over the top in the Calgary Sun's Celebrity Look-alike contest. On the left is Bolin, and right is Russell Peters.

    Last Th ursday was a day dozens of women in the val-ley were looking forward to. December 1 signals the end of Movember. It is the day that their men could head to the bathroom, lather up and rid themselves of the soup strainer on their up-per lip. No longer did these poor girls have to feel like they were kissing a caterpil-lar, watch their man itch, or live in fear that he might ac-tually like it and heaven for-

    bid, maybe even keep it. While dozens have volun-teered this season, one of the most successful pushes came from employees with ATCO Electric. While the campaign was centred in the Drumheller area, they had a total of 51 participants from Drumheller, Hanna and Th ree Hills. While the totals are still rolling in, it is expected they will be over the $6,000 mark in their e orts to raise funds for mens health issues. Patrick Charron was the

    captain of the ATCO Elec-tric Movember team. Th is was the rst time they took on the fraternal campaign. Th e kicked o the cam-paign at the beginning of the month with a breakfast, and a clean shave, and com-menced the growing of the moustaches. From the outset, he said participants did not need to raise funds, and could just join in by growing their best Tom Selleck. Just being a part of the team raises awareness, so that was great, said Char-ron. Many did jump in to sup-port the cause and collect-ed sponsorship from family and friends. Last week the crew got together for a fundraiser at Flavourz Restaurant in Drumheller on Saturday, November 26. Th ey were able to collect more than 30 items from local spon-sors and held a dinner and silent auction. ATCO Elec-tric chipped in with an iPod Touch and then held a Loo-nie Drop, which in itself raised about $400. All and all, we raised about $1,500 for our team (at the event), said Char-ron. Th e team put together a trophy, which was up for grabs for the mo-champi-on". Th e winner was chosen based on a criteria which included the state of the stache, donations collected and participation. Dustin Andrew, who raised more than $1,200 alone, was pre-sented the trophy on Th urs-day. Charron says he is grate-ful to ATCO Electric, which was supportive of the team and allowed him time to work on the campaign. ATCO also has an employee volunteer program called Time to Give, and Char-rons volunteer e orts on another project allowed him to make a donation to Mo-vember.

    DVSS principal Curtis LaPierre has just returned from an overseas trip to meet with potential students and parents as well as spread the word of the International Program at the school. LaPierre left for China, on November 4 for an eight-day trip, which included a visit to Hong Kong. While recruit-ment and promotion were a big part of the trip, another was discussion on curricu-lum. I went to a high school and sat down with the administra-tion there and talked to them about why Chinese students are challenged by English 30 and Social 30, and what they could do to better prepare their students for coming to Canada, said LaPierre. Math and sciences are no problem, but social and English are real problems. Th e trip also took him to Hong Kong to meet with agents who arrange interna-tional study opportunities for

    students. In fact, three stu-dents registered on the spot to come to Drumheller. LaPierre also met with the parents of current students at DVSS as well as the parents of incoming students while he was in Hong Kong. While the Golden Hills In-ternational Program was a pioneer in Alberta and en-joyed strong success in terms of numbers early on, it has seen incoming students drop as economic conditions wors-ened. In the school division overall, we are down to about 170 international students. We used to run about 260, said LaPierre. Th at is simply because of economics. Another reason for the drop is other schools in Al-berta have seen the success of this model. When we started seven years ago, there used to be three school divisions in the whole province, now there are 30 that are actively mar-keting for international stu-dents, so the competition

    side has gone up signi cantly. Like any venture the land-scape is always changing. While numbers uctuate, the program has been a suc-cess. He says the main goal of the international program when it was brought in was to utilize the dormitories, di-versify the students' interna-tional experience here in the valley, provide international students with the Canadian experience, and maintain programs for Drumheller stu-dents. He said if it werent for the International Program, DVSS would have three less full time teachers. It has really been a posi-tive thing, and the kids are well accepted not just by the school community, but by the community at large, said LaPierre.

    Keeping your sports equip-ment maintained is important for performance and safety. Th is year at the Sports Room it also helped to raise funds for concussion awareness. Th e Drumheller Sports Room Source for Sports, along with participating Source for Sports stores across the country, participated in Skate Sharpening Day on Novem-ber 5. Th is year, the company linked up with www.stopcon-cussions.com and nationwide sharpened more than 1,000 pairs of skates and raised more than $19,500 for concussion awareness. Th e Drumheller store contributed about $220. Dave Powell of the Drum-heller Sports Room Source for Sports said they have been holding the skate sharpen-ing day for a number of years; what is new is teaming up with www.stopconcussions.com. Th e danger of concussions in hock-ey has come to the forefront in light of NHL star Sidney Crosby missing nearly a year of hockey with concussion symp-toms. It opened a lot of eyes, said Powell. He says good maintenance of equipment is important for safety. Th e Sport Room this year has also been helping skaters properly t helmets to help prevent injuries. Led by Keith Primeau, for-mer Philadelphia Flyers Cap-tain, the goal of stopconcus-sions.com is to educate players, coaches, trainers and parents involved in any sport, about concussion prevention, identi- cation and proper treatment, says a release. Primeau su ers from post concussion syn-drome, and has been a vocal proponent of making the pub-lic aware of the seriousness of concussions. Learn more about concus-sion awareness and prevention at www.stopconcussions.com or visit your local Source For Sports.

    Sharp skates make safe skaters

  • ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, with so many things on your plate, it might seem as if nothing will ever get done. Separate things into manageable lists and tackle each project one at a time.

    TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, take a few moments to ana-lyze your preferences in friends. Maybe you're being too stringent. It's time to open up the options and make a few new ones.

    GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, there are so many fun things in store that you can't decide where to begin. Get started on the fun and make the most of the good times ahead.

    LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, without much on the docket, this week could prove a bit boring. Instead of focusing on the negative side of having a lot of time, relish in the relaxation time.

    VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Bad news arrives and catches you off guard, Virgo. Unless you can re-bound quickly, it might take a lot of wind out of your sails for the time being.

    LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Opportunities at work are many, Libra. You will be a rising star this week. Enjoy the notoriety while it lasts. If your salary is commission-based, expect much.

    SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, it's time to put an end to an ongoing disagreement with a loved one. This feud is taking up too much energy that can be put toward better things.

    CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, some people underes-timate your abilities, but you can be quite a force when you set your mind to it. Continue to surprise oth-ers with your talents.

    AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although you will be held accountable for something going on at work, the effects will actually work to your advantage. It's good to be in the limelight.

    PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, concentration proves dif-fi cult but you have to buckle down and get some important tasks ac-complished.

    Th e senior boys Sabres basketball team had their rst on-court test of the season last Tuesday, facing the Airdrie Koinonia Fal-cons at home. Th e young team was short of its two big men in the match and came out slug-gish. Turnovers plagued the team and they found them-selves down 38-35 after the rst half, leaving 13 points at the free throw line. In the second half, the Sa-bres began to execute their o ense better and found some points fast breaking. Th ey outscored the falcons 39-27 in the second half to pull out a 74-65 win. Nathan Comstock was the high scorer with 18 points, followed by Jordan Comstock and T.J. Jones, who each had 17. Coming o last season when the Sabres made their second consecutive trip to the provincial nals, the

    team has some strong play-ers returning, as well as a young eager core coming up. Th e team demonstrated to its coaches they have the will to not give up and have a strong work ethic in prac-tice. Th e team is not able to play in a league this season, but have a strong slate of exhibition games lined up in addition to tournaments. Th ey will be heading to Forestburg to defend their championship from last season and will be hosting their Sabres Classic in Janu-ary. Th eir next game is this coming Tuesday when they head to Trochu to take on the Blue Jays.

    It is time to exchange the gridiron for the cage, and at DVSS, they are building a bas-ketball tradition. Th e Dynos are getting ready for the start of the 2011-2012 season. Th eir rst game of the season is in Trochu on Monday, December 5. Th eir home open-er is on December 21 versus Carbon. Th is year's team is a good mixture of veterans and youth, who hope to continue and build upon the success of our boys basketball program, said head coach Je Messom. Th e team has been building a tradition over the last few seasons. Th ey recaptured the league championship last sea-son by beating Acme and went on to win silver at zones. Th ey earned a berth in provincials and nished in sixth place in the province. Th ey have a strong core com-ing back this season, and have an exciting year planned, and much of that action will be close to home. For the rst time in six years, the Dynos are hosting a home tournament. In fact, there will be three tournaments this sea-son at DVSS. Th e Dynos will be hosting top teams on the weekend of January 13 and 14. Th ey are hosting a second tour-nament the weekend of March 2-3, just a week before they play host to the Zone tournament on March 9 and 10. Another exciting event planned for the team is tak-ing on the Harlem Crowns. Th is mix of basketball prow-ess, showmanship and gags is a crowd pleaser and will help the team nancially through the season. Th is is slated for Janu-ary 17. Th e success of the program is more than just wins and loses. It is building a team, and identity, and in turn developing strong character. When it comes to boys' bas-ketball at DVSS, we have always

    tried to promote the concept that this is more than just a team for that given year, but the players are part of some-thing bigger, the Dynos basket-ball program. So in those initial years it was about developing an identity and a foundation of what represents Dynos basket-ball, a system of intensity, heart, hard work, and unity, said Messom. Many of the players have tak-en these lessons and have con-tinued with basketball. Over the last few years, nine Dynos have gone on to play basket-ball at the college level. Th ey include Joe Browning, James Fournier, Jason Aiken, Gavin Pittman, Mitch Smith, Chad Molzan and Kyle Masson. Currently Tyler Fournier and Will Belliveau are playing at Kings University College under the guidance of Jesse McLean and Chad Pidhaichuk, who this year took over coaching the postsecondary team. Both were part of the Dynos program as Badlands Basketball. I would attribute the suc-cess of these individuals to their character, dedication to hard work, and commitment, which they were able to take to the next level with them. And I be-lieve it was these qualities from these individuals and other in-dividuals who have been part of the program that have led to our success, said Messom. He adds that many of the players give back to the pro-gram. We believe success breeds success and in the last six years we have been fortunate that when a group of young men move on, another group the next year wants to step in and continue the success of the recent past, said Messom. When players have graduated, we have been fortunate that many of them want to remain vital part of the programs suc-cess by coming back to help with spring league, basketball camps, or helping coach our teams at DVSS.
