BACtoBAC receives grant to expandPatrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Th e BACtoBAC program has taken another great leap forward last week as it learned it was successful in its application to receive a grant to expand the new project. Th e project has learned that Encana will contrib-ute $4,200 towards two large capacity bins for the recycling project. Th ey are planning to locate thee bins centrally, possibly at local recycling stations. BACtoBAC is a simple but powerful program. It is an easy way for residents to recycle their drinking con-tainers while at the same time support local charities. Th e project kicked off this month, the bottles are col-lected and sorted, and the funds from bottle deposits are divided among Th e Sal-vation Army, Th e Morgan Jayne Project, the Drum-heller and District Humane Society and DARTS. On Wednesday, recy-cling boxes were placed in a number of locations such as the splash park, Freson Bros. IGA, Canadian Tire and World’s Largest Dino-saur. Th ese boxes are the same size as the park gar-bage cans and are handy for the times you have a bottle in hand, and have nowhere to put it. Late last week it was learned that Encana would

grant funding for the larger recycling bins. Th ese larger bins will make it easier for residents to bring bottles from home and donate them. Fred Makowecki of the Morgan Jayne Project says the project has created a simple way for people to give to the charity. Lt. Rachel Sheils of Th e Salvation Army says along with the support to lo-cal groups, she is hopeful the project will reduce the number of containers that go into the landfi ll.

On Wednesday morning new recycling boxes, brought to town through the BACtoBAC program

were installed in strategic locations throughout town.


(l-r) Luigi Vescarelli, community relations advisor for Encana presents Karie Drouin of DARTS, Rachel Sheils of The Salvation Army and Fred Makowecki of the Morgan Jayne Project, representing three of the recipients of the BACtoBAC program with a donation of $4,200. The funds will be used to purchase two large capacity bins for residents to easily recycle their bottles.

Th e Canada Day festivities schedule has been announced and once again, a full day of local events with homegrown talent will entertain the hundreds who fl ock downtown on July 1. Your mother may have told you years ago that a good breakfast is the best way to start the day. She’s right and the Drumheller Kins-men will be serving up a great one at Riverside Value Drug Mart starting at 7 a.m. After that, get your spot on the parade route because it begins to wind through town at 10 a.m. Th is year’s theme is “Celebrating the Valley’s Coal Mining Centen-nial.” Th ere is still time to regis-ter your fl oat. For more infor-mation contact the Drumheller and District Chamber of Com-merce at 403-823-8100 or go to www.drumhellerchamber.com to download a registration form.

Th e parade is just the begin-ning of a full day of events. Th e Drumheller Memorial Arena will be teeming with shoppers at the annual farmers market and there will be a barbecue in support of the Morgan Jayne Project. Th is won’t be the only place to fi nd sustenance, as there is a smoky on a bun barbecue at the Drum-heller Co-op in support of the Palliative Care starting at noon and the Rotary Club has its an-nual beef on a bun at the Freson Bros. IGA. Th e main stage and the site of the afternoon entertainment will be in the shadow of the World’s Largest Dinosaur. Because of the construction of the Badlands Community Facility, last year the festivities were moved west to the splash park area. According to Karla Desilets, FCSS coordi-nator at the Town of Drumheller, the move has worked out well for the celebration.

“I think it is a natural setting for this type of event, it fi ts well. I am glad we made the change,” she says. Th ere will be all kinds of music and activities in the park for the whole family. Th ere will also be a toonie swim at the Drumheller Aquaplex to cool off . `One attraction this year that is sure to draw a crowd is the Clin-ker Cup Celebrity Miner Chal-lenge. Th e Atlas Coal Mine has helped organizers put together some challenges to test some lo-cal celebrity’s mining skills. Th is will start at 12:30 p.m. As the music and fun continue through the day, there is one very

important event to mark the oc-casion. Th at is at 6:30 p.m. where there will be the singing of O’ Canada and cutting of Canada’s birthday cake. Th e day concludes at about

11 p.m. when fi reworks will be launched to light up the valley. Th ese are best viewed from Cen-tennial Park. To see the whole schedule go to www.dinosaurvalley.com.

One man, one club, one ball, one strike, one hole. A hole-in-one is usu-ally a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Hole-in-one insurers put the odds at 1 in 12,500 on a par 3. Even the pros have a 1 in 2,500 chance at it.

Bernie Fournier has done it fi ve times, and he has unlocked the secret.“I guess I hit the ball right, and close my eyes at the right time,” he chuckles. His experience does help as typically he plays three times a week, even more in previous seasons. His latest came on the

seventh hole. He was golfi ng with Dan Hird, Spud Hermata and Mike Behuniak. Interestingly enough, it came on his 72nd birthday. If you think the odds of that happen-ing are slim, consider this; his fi rst hole-in-one was in the 1980’s and it was on his anniversary, his second came on Th anksgiving. Another interesting point is he has scored one in the last three consecu-tive years. His most successful hole at Dinosaur Trail is num-ber 5, where he has made it three times. He also con-nected on hole number 7 and 16. Th is leaves num-ber 12 as the last par 3 on the course for him to con-quer. “Th at’s my next plan,” he laughs.

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

but always welcome Apparently, in an eff ort to wake Senators dozing through the Th rone Speech a couple of weeks ago, a young, female page held up a sign that read “STOP HARPER”. I doubt that a sign like that is going to keep a sena-tor from snoozing, but the manner in which the young lady presented the sign might produce the desired result. Th is is directly from POST MEDIA NEWS: “She said she had folded the sign into her skirt, and when she passed the senators, she lifted it up.” I’m guessing a few eyes popped open. Th en again, this is most likely an unfortunate choice of wording, undiscovered by any editor, yeah, that’s probably it, but it struck me fun-ny.

Th e Badlands Lacrosse Novice Raptors are the only Drumheller squad in the Central Alberta Lacrosse League Playoff s after beating out Innisfail and Sylvan Lake this past weekend in Red Deer. Dan’s Oilfi eld Raptors will be heading into the second round of playoff s this Fri-day in Red Deer again at the Collicutt Centre against the Lacoka (Lacombe and Po-noka) team at 7:15 p.m. Th ey are coming off a three game weekend this past weekend, winning 7-5 against Innisfail and 6-4 against Sylvan Lake Friday and Saturday respec-tively, band a loss to a Red Deer team 6-4 on Sunday. “I’ll be proud of them even if we lose,” says head coach Ren Dumaine, adding if the team wins Friday they’ll be moving onto semi-fi nals. Th e Raptors fi nished in seventh place this season, with Lacoka fi nishing sixth. “It should be a great game if everyone comes out and plays with their heart,d we should be able to take them,” says Dumaine. Th ere are only 10 players on the Raptor’s roster, and only two players had played lacrosse prior to this season. “We basically had all rook-ies and they developed so

good and tried hard all year. We’ve got where we are now, and we’ve been doing great. If we lose on Friday I’d be so happy with how the kids have come so far,” said Dumaine. “Th ey’re just drenched in sweat by the end of games. It’s been tough, but they’ve really been giving it hard and it’s paid off . I’m proud.” Every other team from the Badlands Lacrosse Associa-

tion has been eliminated. “It gets tougher as you get older to compete with the bigger cities. Th e players have to practice on their own time as well,” says Dumaine, adding the team practices twice a week and averages about two games a weekend throughout the two month season.

Car culture fanatics will be fl ocking to the Hanna Municipal Airport this weekend for what is be-coming one of the premier automotive events in the province.

Th e Hanna Cruisers are hosting a weekend of chrome and burnt rubber. Th e weekend features 1/8 mile racing and a spectacu-lar show and shine. In the event’s short history it has grown by leaps and bounds and promises to be a great show.

Joe Schnurer, one of the organizers of the event said the word has spread, and they generally get 200 cars for the weekend. Th e main events are on Saturday and Sunday with the show and shine and rac-ing, but a very important component, especially for new racers is Friday night, June 24. “We have a test and tune, which is free of charge. We also have a driver’s training course available if someone is new to the sport,” said Schnurer. “We will tech ve-hicles, so they won’t have to be in a rush in the morn-ing.” On Saturday, the gates open at 8 a.m., with tech time at 9 a.m. and racing at noon. Th e show and shine starts at 10 a.m., and it will feature some of the best rides around. Entries to the car show have a chance at

winning at Hot Rod Grill, a custom barbecue based on a hot rod engine, headers and all. On the track, there are all kinds of classes of racers, from junior dragster and high school entries, all the way up to the pros.

A feature race will see Drumheller drivers Shawn Bulechowsky and Greg Benzon go head to head for bragging rights. Th ere will also be an appearance from Fire4Hire Jet Cars and will feature Heather Janishewk-si in her car “Her a Cane.”

Racing continues Sunday at 11 a.m. after breakfast and a tech session. For more information on the races, including rules and entry information see www.hannacruisers.com or contact Joe Schnurer at 403-854-1015.

Caught Mike Behuniak shining up his 1966 Plymouth Fury II. This is a third generation Fury and powered by the a 318A V8. Mike bought it new from Don McKenzie at Excelsior Motors, where Valley Plaza now sits. He recalls the sticker price was around $3,000. Originally he wanted a two-door, but with a family his wife insisted on four doors. The car now has over 100,000 miles and keeps ticking. It is a summer car now for Mike, and he says he’ll keep driving it to run errands, or to head to the golf course as long as it keeps starting.

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.

Although the popular Badlands Science Camp is booked up this summer, the Royal Tyrrell Museum is of-fering a wide array of hands-on programming throughout the summer. “We make them as engag-ing and interactive as possi-ble,” says Earle Wiebe of the Tyrrell.

“We take the scientifi c in-formation of the exhibits and bring it alive for fun and ex-citing activities for partici-pants.” Of the dozen summer pro-grams off ered at the mu-seum, starting this weekend and with most running daily into late August, there are a number of indoor and out-door programs for all age groups and for families or individuals. Th e Fossil Casting pro-gram, starting June 25, al-

lows participants to make their very own fossil replica in the 45-minute indoor pro-gram. It allows participants to learn about the fossil’s origin and when and why casts are used to preserve the specimens brought into the laboratory of the museum. Th e Dinosite program al-lows participants as young as four years old to pros-

pect for fossils, investigate real dinosaur remains, and learn about the creatures and landscape of ancient Al-berta in a 90-minute journey through the badlands. Excavate in a realistic quar-ry and participate in a bad-lands dinosaur adventure in the Junior Dinosaur Explor-ers program off ered to kids aged 7-12 years old. It’s an

afternoon of fun, hands on learning off ered daily start-ing this Saturday until late August. Th ose interested in the summer programs off ered by the Tyrrell this summer can register online at www.tyr-rellmuseum.com or by phon-ing the museum at 403-823-7707.

“We take the scientifi c

information of the exhibits and bring it alive for fun and

Distracted driving law in effect September 1Kyle SmylieThe Weekender

Drumheller RCMP are pre-pared for the most comprehen-sive distracted driving legislation to come into eff ect on September 1, which will see a ban on a num-ber of activities while drivers are behind the wheel. “It’s one of our priorities that we’re going to work towards,” says Drumheller RCMP Staff Ser-geant Arthur Hopkins, “Hopeful-ly we’ll be able to put some time towards education.” Th e new law prohibits the use of hand-held cellphones for talk-ing or texting, the use of other electronic devices, reading, writ-ing and personal grooming while driving. Th e September 1 date was an-nounced on Wednesday, June 22. Drivers can still use cellphones or radio communication devic-es, but only if they use them in a hands-free or voice-activated manner. Th is means the device is not held in the driver’s hand and is activated by voice or a single touch to the device. Drivers may use a hand-held citizen’s band (CB) or two-way radio when es-corting oversized vehicles, to contact one’s employer, or when

participating in search, rescue and emergency management sit-uations. “Th is legislation is another step forward in our traffi c safety ef-forts and an important addition to our overall traffi c safety strat-egy,” said Minister of Transpor-tation Luke Ouellette in a press release on June 22. “I am confi -dent this new law, which is prac-tical and enforceable, will help to keep Albertans safer while on the road and that’s something we can all support. We all have a role to play in traffi c safety and I encour-age Albertans to start practising safer driving habits today.” Several international studies show that 20 to 30 per cent of all collisions involve driver dis-traction, and distracted drivers are three times more likely to be involved in a collision than atten-tive drivers, says the Alberta gov-ernment. “Th is legislation gives law en-forcement agencies in Alberta an additional tool to help make our roads safer,” said Frank Oberle, Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security. “We are sending an extremely strong traffi c safety message to motorists across the province: When you’re in your vehicle, your focus must be on

driving.” Under the new law, the follow-ing will not be allowed: talking on a hand-held cellphone; texting and/or e-mailing; using electron-ic devices like laptop computers, video games, cameras, video en-tertainment displays and pro-gramming portable audio players (e.g., mp3 players); manually en-tering information on GPS units, reading printed material like a book or a magazine; writing, printing or sketching; personal grooming like combing your hair, applying makeup or brushing your teeth; using a citizen’s band (CB) or two-way radio (some ex-emptions apply). Activities allowed while driv-ing under this law will be: using a cellphone in hands-free mode - this means the device is not held in the driver’s hand and is acti-vated by voice or a single touch to the device; using an earphone — if it is used in a hands-free or voice-activated manner; drinking beverages, such as coff ee, water or pop; eating a snack; smoking; talking with passengers; listening to a portable audio player — as long as it is set up before you be-gin driving; using the following; a GPS navigation system — as long as the system is affi xed to the

vehicle and programmed before you begin driving or the system is voice activated. You cannot hold the unit or manually enter information while driving.; a col-lision avoidance system; a gauge, instrument, device or system that provides information about the vehicle’s systems or the vehicle’s location; a dispatch system for transporting passengers; a logis-tical transportation tracking sys-

tem that tracks vehicle location, driver status or the delivery of goods for commercial purposes; calling emergency services, such as 911 with a hand-held cell-phone; using a hand-held citi-zen’s band (CB) or two-way radio when escorting oversized vehi-cles, to contact one’s employer, or when participating in search, rescue and emergency manage-ment situations.

Distracted driving legislation passed earlier this year will be-come law on September 1, seeing a ban on cellphone and electronic devices use while driving if they aren’t hands free. The law will become one of Drumheller RCMP’s priorities when it comes into eff ect, and they plan on conducting an educational campaign.

A Mountain of Crumbs: A Memoir by Elena Gorokhova

Once again, we were fortunate to experience another culture during another era in history, as we travelled to the Soviet Union back in the 60’s and 70’s. The author recounts her life growing up in the disillusion of Brezhnev – era Soviet Union. Elena Gorokhova ultimately marries an American and moves to the United States, where this memoir is written years later.This book has been referred to as the Russian equivalent of Angela’s Ashes.Elena uses one of her grandmother’s lessons for the book’s title. The Grandmother helps to give them hope and see beyond their circumstances. She fi nds optimism in their meagre helping of black bread and sugar. Crumbling it up, she forms a “mountain of crumbs” from a slice of bread. They eat the crumbs one at a time, having a feast that lasts longer than the single piece of bread would have.This concept becomes apparent as we learn of the political deception they live their daily lives by.There are many wise sayings and lessons passed down from the author’s elders which she shares throughout the book, despite rebelling in her own way as well. Having learned English, Elena looks for more than what her country can offer her. She, unknowingly defends communism simply because she knows nothing else and has been raised to believe in a sense of duty. At the same time she desires the life she learns of beyond the walls of her homeland.Growing up, we see parallels no matter what country or culture we are in. We share many of the same emotional struggles, curiosities, activites, concerns and questions wherever the childhood years transpire.This memoir should remind us of the basic harmony of the human experience regardless of moral and political differences.If you are looking for a good summer read, I would recommend “the Little Princes” or “the Last Child” - both of which I had a hard time putting down. Watch for reviews at a later date and see how your opinions compare to mine!

25m RCMP highlights online safety to students Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller

Drumheller RCMP brought an important message to junior high students at DVSS last Tuesday, and that is to be aware of all the dangers that lurk online. Constable Tom Dobrich pre-sented “Th ink Before You Send” to a packed Kaleidoscope Th e-atre. Th e message was of aware-ness and safety. While he pointed out the many benefi ts of the wireless age, with instant information and commu-nication, there are many pitfalls. “Th ese have been the subject of many complaints,” he said. Th ese are local complaints, as he says police have received a number of reports of online abuse, in particular cyber bully-ing. Some of the issues he touched on were privacy, and how easy it is for a person to reveal too much information, making them vul-nerable to predators. “Don’t kid yourself, they are looking for you,” he said. Recent statistics he quoted on privacy show that 71 per cent of teens received a message from a person they did not know, 45 per cent say the stranger asked for personal information, 30 per cent of teens considered meeting someone they met online, and 14 per cent have met people face to face, they befriended online. He talked about the legal con-sequences of many of these ac-tivities. He made youth under-stand that everything online is fair game. Information posted on social networking sites can be read by law enforcement, used as evidence in court and published

in the media. A simple guide he told students was don’t say anything online you wouldn’t say in public. Th ere could also be legal con-sequences for activities such as using threatening or defamatory language and harassment. Th e law could also get involved in the case of minors and “sex-ting,” and in fact, it is possible that child pornography charges could result from teens sending racy or nude photos of them-selves or peers. Another major concern he said that is growing is dating abuse. Th is is the case where a couple could be in a relationship, and one party uses the technology to control or harass the subject. He said one in three teens have reported receiving text messages in excess of 30 times in an hour, and 17 per cent said they have been afraid of what their partner would do if they did not respond to a message. Th is was the fi rst presenta-tion by the Drumheller RCMP of “Th ink Before You Send.” It was developed by an attorney general in Massachusetts, and Constable Dobrich modifi ed the program for a Canadian audience. He explains the local detach-ment was looking for a program because of its concern with local complaints, and has been work-ing on fi nding and introducing a program since October. He said in September they are planning to bring the program to all area schools, and other groups that request it. For more information on the program, contact Constable Do-brich at 403-823-7590.

Constable Tom Dobrich of the Drumheller RCMP presented “Think Be-fore You Send” to DVSS junior high students last Tuesday, warning of the dangers online and in social media.

While the future of the GuZoo in Th ree Hill looks bleak, its local supporters are undeterred and continue to rally behind the owner of the zoo. inSide Drumheller re-ported in its June 3 edition the GuZoo had been given a temporary licence in order to decommission the facility

and eventually disperse the animals. While proponents of clos-ing down the site cheered, supporters rallied, and al-most spontaneously, a dem-onstration of support was shown for the GuZoo just days after the announce-ment. “I think they said there were over 800 people,” said Paula Sutherland, a GuZoo supporter, of the rally on June 12. “It was phenomenal, I was amazed when we were there.” She said they raised about $4,500 at the rally to support the GuZoo. She and other volunteers continue to go to the GuZoo as volunteers to clean cages and make improvements. She said the Town of Th ree Hills has stepped up in sup-port of the GuZoo. Accord-ing to the Th ree Hills Capital an account is being set up at the town offi ce to collect funds for the owners of the GuZoo to mount a legal de-fence, and a petition is being circulated throughout Knee-

hill County asking the prov-ince for an appeal. Sutherland said the Drum-heller group of volunteers continue to show support and have even set a fundrais-er at Freson Bros. IGA this Friday. She said she is not sure where the funds will go, except to say it will be to sup-port eff orts of the GuZoo. “What we would like to do, is allocate the funds to more along the lines of feeding the animals. We want to make sure the dollars are going to some place benefi cial that we are fi ghting for, and we are fi ghting for the animals,” said Sutherland. “Ultimately we are fi ghting for the animals themselves, ultimately to leave them in the home they are used to… and help make that healthy and happy environment.” She said supporters are re-maining active. “We are still trudging for-ward, and we are still grow-ing in numbers and we are still sending out letters to the government,” said Suther-land.

A shrub for just about any where:FAMILY - ROSACEAEGENUS - SPIRAEASPECIES - PRUNIFOLIA

Bridal Wreath Spirea - Vanhoutte Spiraea

This shrub can be planted as a founda-tion shrub, out in the middle of the yard, as a hedge, or as a focal point, in full sun or in a semi shady spot and it’ll do just fi ne. It has a natural draping habit and will grow 5-10’ high and wide. This can be controlled with a small amount of pruning which can be done once the fl owering is over, end of June. This spirea

blooms on old wood so that’s why it’s best to prune it soon after the fl owers are gone. Summer bloomers usually bloom on new growth so it’s not as necessary to be so timely as it is with the Bridal Wreath. It requires an even amount of moisture but it’s not necessary to keep it wet especially after it’s established.There are many varieties of Spirea that can be found at the nursery with a wide array of growth habits and colours. You will get some winter die back with some varieties but on the whole they are a fairly reliable accent or even focal point in the yard.The following are a few others that have white fl owers if you’re thinking this one

may be too big for your yard.Double Reeves spirea (s.cantoniensis ‘Lanceata’) has double, pure white fl owers and blue green leaves on a 3-6’ plant.Snowmound spirea (s.nipponica ‘Snowmound’) grows 3-5’ tall and is covered with white fl owers in spring.Baby’s breath spirea (S.thunbergii) has lacy white fl owers on 3-5’ leaf-less steams. Mt. Fuji has variegat-ed foliage.S. prunifolia ‘Plena’ has double white fl owers and grows to 7’ tall. Its fall foliage is a lovely orange-red.Please be sure to always check hardiness for your area but most folks who are read-ing this should be safe with anything zone 3 or 2. Zone 4 sometimes if you have a pro-tected area and like to experi-ment. Happy Gardening Jackie.
