Th e Town of Drumheller has hired a new Community Enforcement Supervisor and he comes with a wealth of ex-perience. Greg Peters, former Drum-heller Detachment RCMP

Corporal has signed on to run the Community Enforce-ment Department at the Town of Drumheller. “I am looking forward to it, there’s a lot to learn,” said Pe-ters, who had served his fi rst shift last Wednesday. Peters has been in the

RCMP since 1984 and has served in detachments all over Canada. Previous to joining the force, he was a City police offi cer in Ontario and before coming to Drum-heller he was in the North-west Territories. He has been in Drumheller for about 10

years, which makes him fa-miliar with the community and he has built relation-ships.

He retired from the RCMP just days before taking on the new post. Th e position of Commu-nity Enforcement Supervi-sor has been vacant since the former supervisor, Darcy Nundahl, resigned earlier this year. Th e department now has a complement of three offi cers. Peters was one of two cor-porals at the Drumheller RCMP Detachment. Corpo-ral Kevin Charles says the position will be fi lled. Th e position has been advertised and is now closed. Region-al staffi ng is examining the candidates and the detach-ment is hopeful a new mem-ber will be announced in the next couple months.

Water line replacement gets underwayCentre Street, just north of 3rd Avenue in Downtown Drumheller, is blocked off for the time being while crews dig up and re-place the cast iron water mains that run underneath the street. The work is part of the Town’s project to replace the cast iron

pipes in the downtown area. This phase of the project will go from the Drumheller Legion, east across Centre Street to the alley behind the Napier Theatre, and then north down the alley past the Civic Centre to roughly the Sizzling Family Restaurant.

Th e male side of the Bat-tle of the Sexes was dealt another blow on Wednes-day, as the women’s team in the Caged for Kennels walked out scot-free by noon. In fact the Felines had met their fundraising quo-ta before they were even locked up. Th e third annual Caged for Kennels played out on Wednesday. Th e Canines went up against the Felines in the fundraiser for the Drumheller and District Humane Society. Last year the Felines won handily, and it was sup-posed to be a year for the men to fi ght back, but the Felines team of Heather Colberg, Paula Suther-land, Hansine Kostelecky, Heather Lehman and Pasty Stokalko each raised more than $1,000 before were even locked up at 11 a.m. Th is means they were free to go by noon. Th e men weren’t so lucky. Cindy Wattenbarg-

er, board president of the Drumheller and District Humane Society said the men were released at about 1:30 after a crew from Drumheller Chrysler came to lend a hand and helped Ken Schinnour, Mike Bell, Darcy Emman and Ray Ai-nscough out of the cage. Th e men did win some-thing, however. Schinnour was able to win “Musical Pee Pads,” and earned $50 for his team from Riverside Value Drug Mart. Th e real winner after all was said and done was the Drumheller and District Human Society, which brought in about $13,000 and counting. Th e barbe-cue brought in about $316 for the cause. Wattenbarg-er said the weather coop-erated and Th e Brick in downtown Drumheller was perfect as a location for the event. Th e funds raised at the event go toward operating the adoption centre. Even while the event was going on, Drumheller volunteers were in the process of res-cuing a dog.

Th e Town of Drumheller has been a little star-struck for the past couple months. Since the big-budget Hol-lywood movie Th e Seventh Son wrapped up fi lming in Horsethief Canyon earlier this summer, Mayor Yemen has hoped to bring more movies to the Drumheller area. At the most recent meet-ing of the Drumheller Town Council on August 13, di-rection was given for the Town’s Economic Develop-ment Offi cer, Bob Cromwell, to do some research into the incentives other provinces are off ering. “A lot of the other prov-inces have incentives for the movie industry that make it more attractive and lucra-tive to fi lm there,” said May-or Yemen. “I’ve asked them to look into it and see what other provinces are off er-ing.”

Mayor Yemen was in-spired to begin research into the topic after witness-ing the economic impact on Drumheller during the brief few days of fi lming for Th e Seventh Son. A crew of 80 to 100 peo-ple worked, slept, and ate in Drumheller for nearly a week. “When the last one was here, all they did was the opening shot and it was like a little city up there at Horsethief Canyon. Th ere was certainly an economi-cal growth surge when they were in town. Th at was just for the opening shot. Imag-ine if we had a major mo-tion picture doing the whole thing in and around the area,” said Mayor Yemen. Prior to Th e Seventh Son, the most recent Hollywood backed motion picture to be fi lmed here was in 2004. Prior to that, Drumheller had seen movies such as Unforgiven, Shanghai Noon, and Superman fi lmed in the area.

According to Yemen, Al-berta has lagged behind oth-er parts of Canada when it comes to encouraging mov-ies to fi lm here. “About 25 years ago, the average movie budget in Alberta was about $200 mil-lion and the same in B.C. Currently, it hasn’t changed in Alberta, but B.C. is see-ing $2 billion,” said Yemen. “Drumheller has certainly been showcased in a lot of diff erent movies, but it wouldn’t hurt at all, eco-nomically, to have some more.” Th e lack of incentives in Alberta, when compared to B.C. is contributing to mov-ies overlooking the Drum-heller area. “It’s a shame we’re be-ing circumvented when we have so much right here. It [Th e Seventh Son] was a major production and when we talked to the producers and directors, we found out three of them were academy award winners. Th ey all said the same thing, Alberta isn’t

doing enough to entice them to come to Alberta. Th at shot they did was between Drumheller and China. Th ey’re not scared to spend money to fi nd the right loca-tion,” said Yemen. For the time being, the Town will continue to re-

search how other provinces are encouraging the fi lm industry. After that is done, Yemen hopes to get the Al-berta government listening. “When we get that infor-mation, I’ll start lobbying. I’ve talked to some of our neighbours about it and

we all agree. We’re going to start lobbying the provincial government to make Alber-ta as attractive as the other provinces,” said Yemen. “We can push at a local level, but ultimately we have to push provincially.”

The Town of Drumheller is hoping to at-tract more major movies to consider the Drumheller area when fi lming. The Seventh Son (pictured here) only shot in Horsethief Canyon for a few days, but left a large economic impact on Drumheller.

Mayor Terry Yemen has asked administra-tion to research what other provinces are offering as incentives to the fi lm industry and will then lobby the provincial govern-ment to step up Alberta’s incentives.

Tourism forms part of the economic backbone of Drumheller. Tourists pour money into the Valley whether it be in a short day trip of an Albertan family or a longer stay. More tourists appear to have come to the Valley this summer. Compared to last year, attractions around Drum-heller are reporting a surge in visitors, a boon to a com-munity that relies so much on a steady stream of tour-ists. Th e Royal Tyrrell Mu-seum saw an increase in attendance of fi ve percent over last year at this time. Last summer, the Tyrrell saw a six percent drop over 2010. “Tourism is up all over the province. Th e 100 year anniversary of the Cal-gary Stampede defi nitely brought more people into the province,” said Leanna Mohan, marketing and

communications coordina-tor with the Tyrrell Muse-um. Th e Tyrrell also noted a 5.5 percent increase in Canadian visitors, a 5.8 percent decrease from the United States. Th e number of visitors from the United Kingdom dropped 16 per-cent over last year. “Th e UK is normally our number one overseas. Th ey’re still number one, but down 16 percent. When I was at a tour operator con-ference, they were predict-ing that. For Europe, their economies aren’t doing well, so they aren’t travel-ling as much,” said Mohan. A region that is surging in visitation is east Asia. Japan, recovering from the tsunami, is up 22 percent and China was up 12 per-cent. Other operators in the Valley saw increases in their visitation numbers. Since beginning of the year, the World’s Largest Dinosaur has seen an eight percent increase over last

year in visitation numbers. “It’s a positive thing for us, anytime we have an increase over the previ-ous year is good news. We always want to boost the numbers over the previ-ous year,” said Heather Bitz, general manager of the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce, who manages the World’s Largest Dinosaur. Th e Homestead Museum saw similar numbers to last year during the months of July and August. “We did pretty much on par with last year, so it’s been a pretty good sum-mer,” said Gilles Danis, manager of the Homestead Museum. Th e Atlas Coal Mine saw a swell in their long week-end tour participation num-bers this summer. However, there was an overall 10 per-cent drop for the summer. “Th e good news is all of the long weekends were record breakers for us. We even had our record par-ticipation day, where we had 594 people in one day,” said Linda Digby, executive director of the Atlas Coal Mine. “Generally our tour par-ticipation rate is what we tally. Our participation rate was down 10 percent overall, but it was planned, because we had done some price adjustments on peo-ple who chose to take more

than one tour. Th e incre-mental extra charge we add to people taking extra tours was too low last year,. “So we’re having fewer people choose to take more than one tour. Whether we have the same number of actual people is hard to measure.” Digby also noted revenue for the Atlas was up com-

pared to 2011. One hypothesis for the increase in tourism num-bers is the centennial Cal-gary Stampede, which brought many travellers to Calgary, some of whom made the trek out to Drum-heller. Another factor may be the fi rst Drumheller Di-noFest. Organizers had targeted Edmonton in their marketing eff orts and many visitors took the opportuni-ty to come down and check out DinoFest and what Drumheller has to off er. Th ere is also the Drum-heller Consortia, a joint marketing initiative. “Th e Drumheller Con-sortia group had a great campaign this year with on-line, TV, and radio. I feel it worked really well to bring people out from Calgary and Edmonton,” said Mo-han. “We continue with our marketing eff orts. We al-ways try diff erent ways to reach out to people,” said Bitz.

“Th e World’s Largest Di-nosaur has been really good for us, they recommended us to just about every-one they saw,” said Danis. “Th at’s the thing to do, keep the tourists shuffl ing around and seeing diff erent things and it’ll be good for the whole.” However, there may have been a buzzing, black cloud keeping some tourists away. “Th e biggest challenge for us this summer in terms of visitation was that bad bug season. People would arrive, start slapping, and wouldn’t stay long, and I don’t blame them,” said Dig-by. “We have anecdotal evi-dence that word was getting out in Western Canada that this was a bad year to come to Drumheller, because of the bugs.” As the shoulder season sets in, operators are look-ing forward to next summer and expanding marketing eff orts to build upon the momentum generated this year.

A group of friends showed solidarity and resolve in fi ghting can-cer raising funds to help others in their battles. Earlier this summer Bonny St. Jean, Pat Nel-son and Kellie Krueger held a rummage sale in the Big Room of the East Coulee School Museum. Th e goal of the sale was to raise funds for the Drumheller Community Cancer Centre, a cause that is near and dear to their hearts. “Myself, I am a cancer survivor,” said St. Jean. “Pat Nelson is our adopt-ed grandmother. When

we moved to the valley in 2004… our families just got really close, her family adopted us. Her daughter Sandy is having the battle of her life.” St. Jean says Pat and her husband George are not able to visit her daughter as often as they like as she lives in the United States, which can be frustrating. Pat often holds an annual garage sale, and her approach is novel. She explains ev-erything is free, but you can make a donation to cancer. “Sometimes when you are frustrated and deal-ing with negative things, you have to do some-thing positive with your

emotions or else it just perpetuates those nega-tive feelings,” said St. Jean. Th e positive came through in the form of the fundraiser. Along side the sale was a bar-becue, which went to-ward their fundraiser. Th ey also added another novel item that summed up their feelings about cancer. Th e group has made a t-shirt, which they were selling at the event. It has a simple, but rather ribald message. It sim-ply has an image of what is commonly known as “fl ipping the bird” with a pink ribbon, symbol-izing cancer, tied around

it. Th is sends a simple, but powerful message about their feelings to-wards cancer. “We sat down one day. I had just been cancer free for one year in July and at the same time we received the bad news that Sandy’s cancer had come back. We came up with the racy design for the t-shirt because sometimes that is just how I feel,” said St. Jean. Th ey came up with the idea over coff ee, and Pat designed the logo. So far they have sold about 75 shirts. She admits the mes-sage, albeit cathartic to her, is not for everybody. “It’s about 50/50. In a small town not many want go around with a possibly controversial

logo and I can appreci-ate that, but my friends who have battled it, and my family who have sup-ported me and friends who have been touched by it, everybody has pur-chased shirts,” said St. Jean. “As long as people keep showing an inter-est, we’ll keep ordering them,” said St. Jean. Th e group’s goal was to

buy treatment chairs for the cancer centre at the Drumheller Health Cen-tre. Th ey presented the funds to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation but were just $400 shy of being able to aff ord two chairs. Fundraising eff orts continue. Th ise wishing to donate can contact Krueger at 403-822-2299 or 403-821-0536.

While the steam and diesel steeds that built the country are disappearing, their fans live on. Some-times the best way to reminisce about the steam whistles and trellis bridges is through toys. Jim and Jan Milman opened their home to area se-niors last Th ursday to tour his extensive display of toy trains. Toys might not actually be the best descriptor, as the hobbyist has dedicated a sizable portion of his Nacmine home to the “G” (Garden) scale trains. Jim explains that about 15 years ago he saw a dis-play of the trains at Heritage Park and was inspired to build his own track. It has been a considerable in-vestment of time and energy, but in the end it is a detailed, all season display with a little bit of every-thing. His display is varied; from mountainous terrain to lighthouses; from tunnels to bridges. As a tribute to his wife’s farming roots, he has a homestead. As a former lineman for Telus, he has made sure there are a few characters working on overheads. From

coalmines to graveyards, his display is extensive and nostalgic. When winter comes, the display remains intact, and he’ll often hook an engine or two up to a plow to clear the tracks. It is not a cheap endeavour by any stretch. He has invested hundreds of dollars of track, and cars alone can cost in the hundreds of dollars. A $1,000 engine is not uncommon. Th ere are few places to fi nd such trains and cars in Calgary as well as Nanton and the West coast. Friends and family are not at a loss when looking for Christmas or birthday gifts for Jim. While his display looks complete, it is a work in progress. In the near future he wants to replace part of the track with a bridge. He is also busy construct-ing a shed to store his collection. Th is is more than just a shed. It will be connected to his display with tracks. Th e shed will contain lengths of track con-nected with switches so he can easily transport his trains to the display and back on its own power. While some miss the whistle and rumbling through the valley which has been absent for the last few years, the Milmans have to look no further than their front lawn for a reminder of the rails.

Front yard display shares nostalgia of rails

Last week the MIlmans invited seniors to their Nacmine home to check out Jim’s extensive mod-el train display. Frank Wilzewski, left, watches the train take off after Jim Milman makes a few ad-justments.

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcome

I sometimes make appointments that I cannot, or do not

keep for one reason or another. Half the time this can be

attributed to a lousy memory, and not making a note to

myself. Last Th ursday I made such an appointment, more

a commitment really. I told someone that I would see them

Th ursday evening to attend an exhibition of their work. We

shook hands on it. Well, I got busy doing things in the yard,

after which I remembered that the next morning there was

a funeral for one of my dad’s old friends. I had to go over

to the lodge and tell him I would pick him up around 9:30.

(I fi rst had to explain which old friend had died, and then

had to try to get him to remember). After all this, I was

getting hungry, having not eaten any supper. I drove home

and put some chicken in the oven. I might as well just say

it, I missed the appointment; I failed in my commitment;

I shook the man’s hand and told him that I would see him

Th ursday evening. I forgot all of those things, even after

writing a note to myself. For this I must apologize. I’m sor-

ry.

To avoid any misunderstanding, this is not about me and

my lousy memory, nor am I seeking absolution. No, this

is about why the commitment was made in the fi rst place.

Last Tuesday, as I was exiting the library, I turned to see a

fellow standing near the gallery. I recognized him, and he

motioned me to come over, which I did. We had not seen

each other in a while, and I asked him what he’d been do-

ing. He turned toward the art on display in the gallery. It

was all his work. I must tell you, I have seen countless land-

scapes of the valley and the surrounding badlands, done

by as many painters, but never have I seen them done in

the colors God gave them. Not until then. Th e striations

of the hills, the greys, the browns, the clays; the clumps

of sage, the trees; all done in the shapes and colors we see

everyday, but so rarely captured on canvas. On the oppo-

site wall was his work in what for him was a new medium,

metallic paint. Impressive, and interesting. Th e silver and

copper give such texture and depth. Th is was why I said

that I would come out to his Th ursday evening exhibition.

Marcel Deschenes is a gifted artist, unafraid to go beyond

the norm. He is passionate about his art, and if you have

not seen it, go to the Badlands Community Facility gallery

and see it. I am sorry that I missed Th ursday evening, but I

will go back. Th ose landscapes grabbed me.

Th anks Marcel.

(Marcel Deschenes exhibition is on at the BCF Public Gal-

lery for the month of September.)

Could Drumheller join the growing list of communities that de-ploy photo radar, or similar devices, to catch speeding motorists? At the meeting of the Committee of the Whole, on Tuesday, September 4, members of the Drumheller Town Council were given a presentation of how au-tomated traffi c enforce-ment could become a reality in our commu-nity. Global Traffi c Group presented their laser photo radar system to catch and fi ne motorists speeding in Drumheller. Th ere would be sev-eral advantages to the

community were a sys-tem to be implemented. Police resources would be freed up from traffi c duty so they could con-centrate on other areas and the program could provide some cash to the Town coff ers. Th e system is primar-ily used to catch speed-ers, but could be modi-fi ed to c a t c h motor-ists run-ning red lights. If imple-mented, D r u m -h e l l e r w o u l d be given a one m o n t h warning period, w h e r e violators would only re-ceive a warning through the mail. After a month, fi nes would be issued. Th e cost to Drumhell-er would be negligible according to Richard Kracher, manager with Global Traffi c Group. Global would pay for the equipment, person-nel, and processing tick-ets. For each ticket, the Town would get roughly a third of the fi ne. inSide Drumheller asked members of Town

Council their opinions on the possibility of implementing a laser photo radar program. “Th at wasn’t the Town of Drumheller looking for them, it was them coming here looking for business. I think we are well and adequately policed. We have com-munity enforcement,

s h e r i f f s , and RCMP that can do traffi c. I’m happy with what we have,” said Mayor Ter-ry Yemen. “I have some ma-jor safety c o n c e r n s with the crosswalks and four way inter-

sections. I should think if there was enough concern around some intersections we would consider installing per-manent cameras and they would off er the appropriate deterrent. Otherwise, I’m not in-terested in laser radar,” said Councillor Andrew Berdahl. “I’m fi fty-fi fty with it right now. I like it in a sense, but I see it as a money grab too. It might slow down some of the speeders and we

do have a lot of tour-ist who come through town. We have RCMP in town and I think it’s their duty to respond to these traffi c incidents,” said Councillor Doug Stanford. “It sounds interesting, but I think we need to have more input from the RCMP. Th ey would be involved a lot dur-ing the set up time. As a town we don’t want to burden people with more bills, but it could be a good idea if we get people to drive more carefully, especially in

school zones. I think we need to have more sta-tistics as well to see if it’s more safe,” said Coun-cillor Sharel Shoff . “Th e benefi t to the Town, aside from the school zones, would the red light camera. Th e RCMP do an accu-rate job on the school zones,” said Councillor Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk. “Anything that could help make our com-munity safer should be discussed. I’m more interested on the au-tomated camera side. We’ve heard from our Staff Sergeant in the past that this commu-nity has some diffi culty with school zones and stopping at red lights. With this provider it would cost us nothing to ramp up enforcement of these particular traffi c laws, so I’m interested in learning more,” said Councillor Jay Garbutt. “It seems more and more municipalities are going with it as an ef-fective way to control speeders. It’s one alter-native. One of the things Council is going to do is some fact fi nding. We have to explore other al-ternatives and the whole concept of bringing in automated enforce-ment. We have our fair

share of people who go a little too fast. Th is is a way to slow them down,” said Councillor Tom Zariski. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins of the Drum-heller RCMP was asked to give his opinion dur-ing the meeting. “Stationary cameras are phenomenal for some areas. Laser accu-racy is much better than photo radar and could benefi t some areas,” said Staff Sergeant Hopkins. “I don’t like the percep-tion of it being a tax grab. If we’re going to do this, it must be done as a deterrent.” No decisions regard-ing the laser photo ra-dar have been made yet. However, were Coun-cil to agree to bring in the system, Drumheller could be photo enforced in as little as three months, according to Kracher. Members of Council are eager to hear what residents have to say. “I think we have the resources to manage those areas [speeding and red lights],” said Yemen. “If people have concerns, they should contact Council and we can then ask the appro-priate service to focus on those areas.”


“That wasn’t theTown of Drumheller

looking for them,it was them coming

here looking forbusiness. I think we

are well and adequately policed. We have

community enforcement, sheriffs, and RCMPthat can do traffi c.

I’m happy withwhat we have.”

Obituary

METCALFEThelma Elizabeth

December 6, 1914

- September 7, 2012

On Friday Sept. 7, at 8:10 pm

in the Airdrie Bethany Care

Centre, with her daughters by

her side, God sent his angels

to take Thelma on her last

journey, at the age of 97. She

will be lovingly remembered by

daughters, Karen Koppang and

Maureen Metcalfe, son, Dan

(Yvonne), 6 grandchildren, 7

great grandchildren and 1 great-

great grandchild. A celebration

of her life will be held at the

Bethany in Airdrie and then she

will be laid to rest with her son

Tad, in Queens Park Cemetery,

Calgary. Thelma was a charter

member of the Drumheller

Sweet Adeline’s, and as everyone

knew, no one could tickle the

ivories like our Thelma. She was

a band all on her own. She had a

huge forgiving and loving heart,

visible to all and everyone who

knew her loved her in return.

She will be sadly missed by her

family and friends. 37p


Th e Drumheller Co-op showed its sup-port for the community at the semi annual disbursement of the till tape program. Last week, the Drumheller Co-op gave $11,255 to 31 groups in the valley. Th e program, which has been running since 2000, has helped 91 groups. Th e pro-cess is simple. Community groups simply contact the Drumheller Co-op to register, and then they collect Co-op till receipts. Th e group then submits the receipts and Co-op distributes a part of the totals back to the community, twice a year. Over the history of the program it has given $257,492 back to the community. At this installment of payments, St. An-thony’s School was the top fundraiser, receiving over $1,100. Heart To Heart re-ceived about $800 and Th e East Coulee Community Association brought in over $600.

At the August installment of the Co-op Till Tape Program, $11,255 was distributed to 31 com-

munity groups and organizations.inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, your goals are easily achieved this week. All you really need to do is set your mind to them and everything will fall into place along the way.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, you may feel rushed by outside pressures, but it really is up to you to set your own pace. Everything will get done if you just relax.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Those closest to you need a little space and respect, Gemini. Just give them what they need and all will go smoothly. Wednesday could be a trying day.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you may need to act quickly before things start moving in the wrong direc-tion. You have to take control and make sure things are on the right course.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, you can have fun do-ing just about anything this week. You have lots of en-ergy, so maybe something physical will fi t the bill. Grab a crowd and go to it.

Th e Alberta Junior Hockey League and Hockey Alberta held a unique meeting between the league’s coaches and game offi cials on Sep-tember 9th in Red Deer.

Th e joint meeting was an opportunity to open lines of communica-tion, review rule inter-pretation, and discuss rule changes within the AJHL. Th e AJHL was opti-mistic about the fi rst-time meeting and be-

lieves it will become an annual event. “Th e coaches had an opportunity to seek clar-ifi cation on new rules, discuss rule interpre-tation, and participate in productive dialogue with the game offi cials,” said AJHL Vice-Presi-dent George McCorry. “Th is type of education and improved commu-nication can have a very positive eff ect on our game.” Hockey Alberta Ref-eree-in-Chief, Curtis Nichols, was encour-aged by the opportunity the two groups had to interact professionally and outside of a game situation. “Anytime you can open the lines of com-munication, it’s a step in the right direction. We look forward to see-ing how it translates onto the ice and we will monitor the eff ects and feedback throughout the year.”

Th e AJHL is currently involved in several in-novative programs, in-cluding the Junior A Supplement, which was introduced by the Ca-nadian Junior Hockey League and Hockey Canada to reduce bully-ing in hockey and pro-vide a safe environment for junior-aged hockey players. Th e Supplement fo-cuses on dangerous hits, repeat off enders, accu-mulated infractions and fi ghting. In August 2012, the League also hired its fi rst-ever Video Review Manager to assist in dis-cipline and offi ciating. Former AJHL offi cial and newly appointed AJHL Video Manager, Dean Laschowski, will work with AJHL Vice President George Mc-Corry in the areas of vid-eo review, supervision of game offi cials, and sup-plementary discipline.
