Waiting in line at the bottle depot with a trunk-load of empties has inspired a Drum-heller man to look at an easier way to recycle bottles, while also helping the community. Th e idea has caught fi re and many in the valley have been saving their bottles for the launch of BACtoBAC next month. BACtoBAC is driven by resident Rav Lal. “When you are at the bottle depot there are always three or four people in front of you and guys with many bottles and cans, way more than I have,” said Lal. “Rather than just sitting here for 20 minutes I would just rather donate the cans and bottles and be on my way.” He suggested the idea to a few people and they were supportive, and the idea took off . Th e group has had bins donated by the Alberta Beverage Container Recycling Cor-poration (ABCRC) to be placed throughout town as a convenient way for residents and visitors to dispose of their empties. “Th ey (ABCRC) have done projects like this in many other communities so they were onboard with this when we told them what we are doing,” said Lal. BACtoBAC has 10 bins coming in, and have been approved for 50 in total. Currently they have six locations picked out for recy-cling boxes. “Th e bins we are getting are smaller ones
like our garbage cans that are in parks. Be-cause they look the same, we can foresee that wherever the town has a garbage can, we can put a recycling bin right next to it. Th ere may be a demand for it, you never know,” said Lal.
He adds, they have applied for a grant from Encana for some of the larger bins to be cen-trally located. Th e program not only gives residents a convenient way to dispose of bottles, but it also gives back. “I looked around for who we could part-ner with and who could use the funds. Th e four main charities in town I support are Th e Salvation Army, the Morgan Jayne Project, DARTS and the Humane Society,” said Lal. Th ey came up with an agreement that would see all four groups split the funds for their projects. He said DARTS is also able to create some work placements for their cli-ents. “Th ey are really happy because not only do they have a new source of funding, but also job opportunities for their clients,” said Lal. “You want to help charities… and I just wanted to fi nd a way to give them a constant stream of revenue. A program like this could provide funding year round based on people donating,” said Lal. Th ey are planning a program launch at 2 p.m. on Monday, June 6 at the Bottle Depot. “We’ve been telling people to save them up because we are hoping to have a mountain of bottles there that day,” laughs Lal. For more information on the project, check out the Give BACtoBAC Recycling Donation Bins Facebook group.
Recycling program launched to benefi t local charities
Save your bottles for June 6. The BACtoBAC recycling program to benefi t local charities will be launched. There will be a number of
boxes located throughout town for residents to conveniently drop off their bottles and help local charities.

Drumheller resident Lilo Rolf is ready to get her drink on, and can’t wait to do it at Tim Hortons coming this June 10. She along with many Drumhellerites are wait-ing in anticipation for the restaurant to open, and judg-ing by her shirt, it is in all of our best interests that it open soon. The restaurant held a career fair on Thurs-day, May 26. photo submitted

Th e provincial Conservative leadership race is shaping up to be a real fun aff air. Th ere are about a half dozen candidates in the running to date, but who knows what bright light might come forth from out of nowhere? For the time being it’s fun to watch the early favourites trying to back-pedal as fast as they can. It’s as though there has been a revelation. Ted Morton, one of the fi rst out of the gate (“I’m not going to resign, why would I resign?” Only to resign the next day, and announce his lead-ership intentions) has said that he is not persuaded, nor has he ever been persuaded, that Bill 50, the Electric Statutes Amendment Act, is right for Alberta. He was never persuaded of it when he sat in caucus and voted in support of it, in order to avoid any split in caucus. So, whose interest was he representing at the time, his own, those of the party, the power companies, or you, the voter/taxpayer? I think the answer is clear, but not to worry, Ted has had a revelation, and reversed his thinking on this contentious piece of legislation, and none too soon, as it’s already been voted into law. Alison Redford, former Justice Minister, seems to be another of those opposed to Bills 36 and 50. Only after helping to vote them into law does she now believe they should be more closely scrutinized, and changes made. She believes, after resigning and deciding to run for the leadership, that these bills may undermine the basic rights of Albertans. It’s only after she is out of offi ce that she realizes what people have been saying for over a year. Perhaps “out of offi ce” is the best place for her. Th en, of course, there are Doug Griffi ths, at 36, the youngest in the race, and at the other end of the spectrum, Ric Orman, at 63, I believe, the oldest candidate. Griffi ths would seem to be too young to lead the party, but perhaps youth is just what’s needed. Orman has been out of politics for close to 20 years, and the last time I saw or heard from him, he was running for the leadership. Is this just a continuation? Does he think now is his time, that maybe people will think he’s new and diff erent? To an-swer: Maybe; I don’t know; and I doubt it. Perhaps just for old times’ sake, Nancy Betkowski (not her married name) could be talked into hitting the hustings to gain that which she was so bitterly denied last time out. (So bitter in fact, she left the Conservatives for the Liberal Party.)
May 21, the day that a certain American preacher was pretty certain that the world as we know it was to end; the day that Jesus was to come back to claim the righteous, and leave mankind in a horrible existence. October 21 was to be the end of it all. It didn’t happen... but it could have. Bit of a wake up call, isn’t it? It’s a second chance, more like a fi fth or sixth, maybe even a tenth chance. Only God gives us so many warnings, so many second chances. It’s our responsibility to take advantage, because if we try, God’s patience is infi nite. So start today by being happy, treat yourself to that, and when other people see you happy, they’ll wonder, “What’s he so happy about?” Th at’s when you tell them about the second chance. 21l
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese
My book club read Cutting for Stone and discussed it at our April meeting. Once again, everyone enjoyed the story.I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t speak very highly of this book!The author, Abraham Verghese, who is a physician and professor, has a magical way with words. The story spans the life of twins who were conjoined at the skull when born, but were immediately separated by their surgeon father. They were as quickly orphaned and then adopted in the time spent in the hospital.Taking place in Ethiopia, it is a time of political turmoil during the 50’s and 60’s. Following a betrayal by his brother, the twin who is the main character fl ees to New York in the 70’s to begin his career as a doctor there.It is the interesting personalities and stirring events which keep the reader intrigued throughout the book. The various relationships connect the characters as the story fl ows along.Readers who are squeamish may fi nd some of the medical details a little graphic for their liking. For others, it offers insight and an appreciation for Verghese’s knowledge and style.The bonds of family are explored in a mixture of experiences throughout. And, once again, we have gained a perspective of another country’s culture.

Due to construction de-lays, the opening of the new St. Anthony’s School has now been pushed to 2012. Over the past year, the new school, on North Dino-saur Trail, has seen a num-ber of setbacks. Most no-table was parting ways with the original contractor. Th is week Michael O’Brien, Su-perintendent of Schools for Christ the Redeemer School Division, sent a letter to par-ents of students at St. An-thony’s updating them on the progress. “While we cannot provide an exact completion date, we are hopeful the new school will open sometime in early 2012. We will move into the new school as soon as it is ready and reasonable to do so,” he stated in the letter. inSide Drumheller report-ed in March that Christ the Redeemer School Division and CANA Construction were working on a deal to see the completion of the project. “After terminating the previous contractor, time was required to work with the insurance (bonding) company to identify a suit-able replacement contrac-tor. Th is took a great deal
of time, mostly due to legal requirements. However, with due diligence, patience and many prayers, we were very fortunate to attract and retain an excellent general contractor,” said O’Brien. An agreement with CANA has since been inked. Before an agreement was in place, the company was on site. “We are now working very closely with CANA to deter-mine what defi ciencies re-quire repair before we pro-ceed with the completion of
the school,” said O’Brien. “It is very important that we thoroughly inspect the school and identify all defi -ciencies so they may be cor-rected and the school can be properly constructed. CANA has already done an excellent job of cleaning up and organizing the con-struction site. It is also our opinion that the majority of defi ciencies have been iden-tifi ed and the pace of con-struction should soon start to accelerate.”
St. Anthony’s targets 2012 for new school opening
Christ The Redeemer School division has recently reached an agreement with CANA Construction to complete the new St. Anthony’s School on North
Dinosaur Trail. They are aiming for an early 2012 date for the school to be completed.

Rosebud Th eatre will be celebrating the past and the future this Friday as its sum-mer production opens at the theatre. On May 28 Jake and the Kid: Prairie Sea-sons opens. Th is event coincides with the centennial celebration of the Mercantile building in Rosebud, and the grand open-ing of the newly expanded Mercantile - the latest addition to the historic building. Th e Mercantile was originally built in 1911 as a general store along the railway. Like most prairie towns, Rosebud rode the tide of economic and social forces, and the property passed through a number of owners. In the 1970s, the population of the Hamlet had fallen to less than 30. A breath of life was given to the com-munity when in 1973 the Rosebud Camp of the Arts, a summer outreach program for Calgary youth began in the community. Th e building was purchased and from 1973 to 1977 it served as the base for the camps.
Around this time the camp had devel-oped into a residential fi ne arts school, and the Mercantile was expanded to accommo-date the school. By 1986, the Rosebud School of the Arts, a post-secondary Arts School Guild was established, with the goal of teaching practical theatre experience. As the school’s productions expanded, the Mercantile be-came a dining room in conjunction with the performances. For years this arrangement worked, and then in the early 2000s, the vision of the new Rosebud Mercantile expansion began to materialize. About 10 years later it be-came a reality. Th e new 10,000 square foot expansion, made in the style of a prairie bank and livery stable, includes the Encana Conference Centre, a restaurant, a new gift shop and expanded dining capacities for its theatre productions. “Th e Rosebud Mercantile is a dream come true,” remarks Executive Director Bob Davis. “It was a 10-year journey from visioning to planning, fundraising and then construction. But it was worth every min-
ute. We now have a multi-use facility that can help us grow, expand and create new opportunities for decades to come.” On Friday May 28, Rosebud School of
the Arts will be celebrating the centennial of the original Mercantile and formally opening the new facility.
Rosebud celebrates past and future with grand opening of expanded Mercantile
Rosebud Theatre is celebrating the centen-nial and the grand opening of the expanded Mercantile tonight as the theatre opens its
summer production Jake and the Kid: Prairie Seasons.

The Drumheller Valley is a unique, scenic valley, created by millions of years of erosion by wind and water.
About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs roamed the hot tropical swamps and forests that covered this area. Today, the fossil-ized remains of the dinosaurs can be seen in museums all over the world, and the lush vegetation exists as coal seams throughout the area.
The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district.
It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves
in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.
Today, the Town of Drumheller relies on agriculture, gov-ernment services, oil and gas, and tourism for its economic prosperity.

The Valley was first inhabited by Thomas Greentree, who, in 1902, built his homestead on what is now the Town of Drumheller. The Greentree House became a stop-over place for early pioneers coming into the district.
It was Sam Drumheller who first exploited rich coal reserves
in the area and conceived the idea of a townsite in the Valley. Jesse Gouge opened the first coal mine in 1911. In 1913, the Calgary-Drumheller railway line was opened and the coal industry boomed. More than 40 mines were soon operating in the Valley. Mining towns like Nacmine (short for North American Collieries Mine), Midlandvale, Rosedale, East Coulee, Wayne, and Newcastle developed notorious reputations as highrolling boomtowns with bootlegging and gambling. When gas and oil were discovered in other parts of Alberta, the importance of coal diminished and the economy of the Valley turned to other things.
Today, the Town of Drumheller relies on agriculture, gov-ernment services, oil and gas, and tourism for its economic prosperity.

Ready to BoogieBrian Telford started with the “go,” and is working his way to making his 1970 GMC 1500 a “show” stopper too. The "go" for the truck he inherited from his father comes from the original 396 big block, which has since been bored out to 404 cubic inches, breathing through an Edelbrock 650 CFM carb and intake, pushing a mild cam. While it was painted in 1977, it is time for a fresh coat, and that is the next step in his project. His ride will be at the 15th annual Boogie in the Badlands this Saturday at Drumheller Chrysler. Locals and visitors are invited to check out some of the best whips from the valley and beyond. The event is in benefi t of the Drumheller Humane Society.

Here’s how it works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can ap-pear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Valley tourist destinations saw a dip in numbers over the May long weekend com-pared to last year’s fi gures, citing the wet, cool weather. Th e World’s Largest Dino-saur, Atlas Coal Mine, and Royal Tyrrell Museum all saw slight decreases in visi-tor numbers during the same time last year. Th e Tyrrell saw 10,458 visi-tors walk through its doors, under last year’s 11,091. Th e Atlas Coal Mine had 675 guests compared to 2010’s 734. Th e World’s Largest Di-
nosaur reported slow num-bers and although didn’t have visitor numbers yet, said it was lower than last year’s. “Th e weekend was very slow, except for when we had nice weather on Saturday,” the visitor centre’s Debbie Schinnour reported. “It’s hard to say if this is an indication for the rest of tourist season,” said the Atlas Coal Mine’s program director Kelly Eddy. “It was gloomy out, and we are an outdoor site so maybe visi-tors weren’t so inclined to enter the great outdoors.”
Three tourist outlets in Drumhell-er reported lower tourist visitor numbers in 2010, suggesting the cooler, wet weather dampened long weekend campers' spirits.

Th e Drumheller Drag-ons are proud to announce the recent commitment of team captain Rob Geddes to the Mount Royal Univer-sity Cougars in Calgary. Geddes spent the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons with the Dragons, accumulat-ing 37 goals and 47 assists for 84 points in 102 games played. Rob also collected several honours during his time in Drumheller, being named the Team’s Hardest Working Player in 2009-10 and being recognized as both the Leading Scorer and co-MVP of the Club in 2010-11. Th e Mount Royal Univer-sity hockey program is one of the elite post-secondary programs in the country. Having recently captured the 2010-11 Alberta Col-
leges Athletic Conference (ACAC) League Champi-onship, the Cougars will compete in the ACAC for one more season in 2011-12 and then make the jump to the Canada West Univer-sities Athletic Conference (CWUAA) within Cana-dian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) for the 2012-13 sea-son.
A Calgary native, the Dragons’ outgoing captain is excited to continue his
hockey career in his home-town. “To be able to tran-sition from Drumheller in the AJHL to the ACAC and eventually the CIS with the Cougars program in Cal-gary is a dream come true,” Geddes remarked. “I was very impressed by Coach Laforest and his philosophy. What he told me about the attitude and culture they’ve established there actually reminded me of being a Dragon.” Geddes joins former teammates Breyden De-Cock (University of Calgary Dinos), Colin Bergman (Queen’s University Gaels) and Pat Turville (Concordia University College Th un-der) as recent Drumheller Dragons graduates who have joined Canadian post-secondary hockey pro-grams.
