Ladies and gentlemen from all over the Drum-heller area are heading to the Aquaplex to battle for the title of swim champi-ons in the 2013 Battle of the Sexes. Th is year, the men will be looking to reclaim their championship status. Over the years, the gents have been the perpetual underdogs, winning just once in the past 18 years. Two years ago, the men won their fi rst Battle of the Sexes, but were soundly defeated last year by the ladies. “Th e men usually get

their butts kicked. Two years ago was the fi rst time we’ve won in a long time. Hopefully we can get more men out and beat the ladies this year,” said Tyson Anderson, an Aquaplex staff member swimming for the men. Last year the ladies won by swimming 14,538 lengths (363 km) com-pared to the 13,144 (329 km) swam by the men, a diff erence of 1394 (34 km). After just under a week of competition, the race is close, with the ladies at 2,115 lengths and the gents at 2,025. “It’s pretty tight so far and there has been quite a

bit of friendly trash-talk-ing so far,” said Anderson. More swimmers are al-ways welcome for both teams and it’s a great way to get into swimming. “I think it’s great. It gives people the com-petitive edge to come out and push themselves for that extra couple lengths. You see a lot more people coming out for it and then keep swimming regularly,” said Anderson. To participate, just show up at the Aquaplex, and swim or walk two lengths of the pool each session. Th e battle will continue until the end of the month.

It appears the Drum-heller Institution is not the only penitentiary in Canada that has expe-rienced trouble with its wind power projects.

Th e Mail reported in its October 3, 2012 edi-tion, the wind power generator, which cost nearly $1.4 million, was not operating. Mayor Terry Yemen reported that since then it has been operational. A CBC report from New Brunswick says a turbine installed at Dorchester has also stalled, and there has been an additional $60,000 spent on repairs. It appears both of the generating units are

similar, both rated to produce 600 Kw/h. Th e Drumheller unit was manufactured by Fuhr-laender in Germany. Th e issue with turbine in Drumheller was re-lated to the batteries and the inverter. To further complicate, matters Lo-rax, the US contractor that won the bidding process dissolved before the project was commis-sioned. Th e turbine in Drum-heller was purchased in 2008 as part of the pi-lot project to help save money, with potentially 20 per cent of the insti-tution’s energy needs be-ing met by the wind. For Mayor Terry Ye-men, what upsets him is the lack of accountability for taxpayers’ dollars.

Turbine at Drumheller Institution not alone with technical woes

The windmill at the Drumheller Institution is not the only one in Canada that has been stalled. A penitentiary in a Dorches-

ter, New Brunswick is also experiencing technical diffi culties.

Drumheller’s May-or Terry Yemen will be a recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Ju-bilee Medal. Yemen learned last week that the Federa-tion of Canadian Mu-nicipalities (FCM) has selected Mayor Yemen to receive the award. According to a letter from FCM Preisident Karen Leibovici, the award is in honour of the contributions he has made to the com-munity and to all of Canada. Th e medal is being sent directly from the Governor General of Canada. “Your peers in local government across the country admire your accomplishments as a community leader and congratulate you on earning this pres-tigious award,” said Leibovici in her cor-

respondence. “FCM chose you to receive this distinction for your exemplary eff orts to make your commu-nity a great place to live. It recognizes the important role mu-nicipalities – and their elected leaders – play in ensuring our pros-perity and high quality of life.” Th e Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal honours sig-nifi cant contributions and achievements by Canadians. During the year of celebrations, 60,000 deserving Ca-nadians will be recog-

nized. Th e medal was created by the Gov-ernment of Canada to mark Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 60 years of service to this country.

Cold weather and deep snow has made a season to remember for snowmobiling en-

thusiasts. It has also led to the Drumheller De-tachment of the RCMP as well as Drumheller Community Enforce-ment receiving numer-ous complaints associ-

ated to the use of ATV’s and snowmobiles with-in town limits. Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins said most of these complaints in-volve erratic use of these vehicles on our streets, back alley’s, walking trails, or being operated during early morning hours (3 - 4 am.) Th e Town of Drum-heller “does not” allow for the operation of these vehicles within its municipal limits and currently has a bylaw that prohibits their use. Th e Town of Drum-

heller however, does not have legal jurisdic-tion over the use of the river. Elected offi cials, past and present, un-derstand that many residents own this class of vehicle and that the owners like to operate them on the river. Th e town has subsequently provided areas for the unloading of quads & snowmobiles that al-lows easy access to the river so that few people are disturbed. Drumheller detach-ment peace offi cers have not been actively enforcing the bylaw, however due to the in-crease in recklessness

and uncaring attitudes of a few, this may have to change for all if not corrected. If an ATV or snow-mobile has been oper-ated on any street, road, or highway, the operator must comply with not only the bylaw, but also the Off Highway vehicle regulations. Th ese ve-hicles must be licensed, insured, and operated by persons qualifi ed to operate them. “Th e offi cers at this detachment have more important things to be doing than dealing with these off ences, but in-creased enforcement may need to be taken

to stop their illegal and uncaring use. Keep in mind, it is not hard to follow the tracks back to the off enders vehicle,” said Hopkins. Th e registered owner is responsible for the fi nes associated to their vehicle. If the vehicle is not registered and in-sured it is subject to sei-zure. “If actions are not changed, I will instruct members to increase enforcement, and ask the town to remove the unloading locations and to close off access areas to the river,” said Hop-kins.

Cenovus Energy is helping residents of Drumheller get start-ed on the right liter-ary foot. On Saturday, January 26, the ener-gy company donated $45,000 over three years to Drumheller Family Literacy. Th e money will be used to support pro-grams to increase lit-eracy for both children

and adults in Drum-heller. “Cenovus is pleased to support Drumheller Family Literacy,” said Leanne Courchesne, Cenovus group lead, community invest-ment. “Th e project of-fers tremendous learn-ing support to many youth and families and we’re excited to be a part of that. We strive to be a good neighbour and support the com-

munities where we live and work.” Th e goal of Drum-heller Family Literacy is to increase literacy and educational sup-ports for families and children and help raise high school comple-tion rates from 72 per cent. Drumheller Fam-ily Literacy also assists adults, roughly 38 per cent of which struggle daily with low literacy levels.

Duff ers have a new place in downtown Drumheller to hang out year round and even work on their swing. Phil McCluskey, who was Dinosaur Trail Golf and Country Club’s pro from 1993 to 2007, and Dave Schinnour have collaborated on opening Lowleft Golf. Th ey intro-duced the latest technol-ogy in golf simulators. Th e facility on 3rd Av-enue features two Bogolf Simulators, the fi rst to be installed in a retail business in Canada. Th is is a brand new technol-ogy where users can challenge 70 diff erent courses. While McClus-key says the facility is primarily for recreation, he can use it for lessons as well. Lowleft Golf also has a putting green and is li-censed for food and bev-erage service, much like

a bowling alley. Th ey will be adding retail golf ap-parel and equipment in the near future. Th ey have already

hosted a couple private parties and are seeing golfers trickling through the doors. Th ey are planning to

have the facility open seven days a week year round, and will even be-gin league play.

Two-year GICavailable in a TFSA or RRSP

10 easy ways to reduce your tax bill Th e days are starting to get longer, and you can feel that spring is right around the cor-ner. With spring, of course, comes tax-fi ling season, so as “fi ling taxes” joins “spring cleaning” on your to-do list, here are 10 ways to save you money—and even land you that refund you’ve been hop-ing for.

• Tax-free savings ac-count: Using a TFSA is a smart way to save on tax. Generally, the interest, dividends, and capital gains earned on investments in a TFSA are not taxed—not when they are held in the account or when they are withdrawn.

• Registered retire-ment savings plan: Pay less tax and save for your retirement at the same time. Any in-come that you earn in

your RRSP is usually free from tax as long as the funds stay in the plan.

• Charitable dona-tions: Donations of cash, goods, land, or listed securities made to a registered charity or other qualifi ed do-nee may be eligible for a tax credit.

• Parents: All those mornings spent at the hockey rink and af-ternoons spent at the ballet studio can mean savings—with the children’s fi tness and arts tax credits. Child care is also deductible, so gather up your re-ceipts.

• Family caregivers: If you have a dependant with a physical or men-tal impairment, you

could be eligible for an additional $2,000 this year with the new fam-ily caregiver amount.

• Student: Were you a student in 2012? You may be able to claim tuition, textbook, and education amounts, as well as moving expens-

es if applicable. And if you’ve recently gradu-ated, you can claim the interest you paid on your student loan.

• Public transit amount: If you are a public transit rider, you may be able to save by claiming the cost of your transit passes. You can get up to 15% of the amount claimed.

• Seniors: If you re-ceive income from a pension, you can split up to 50% of eligible pension income with your spouse or com-mon-law partner to reduce the taxes that you pay. You may also be eligible to claim the age amount, medical expenses, and the dis-ability amount.

• Home buyers: You may be able to claim up to $5,000 if you bought your fi rst home in 2012.

• Hiring an appren-tice: Did your business employ an apprentice? An employer who paid a salary to an employee registered in a pre-scribed trade in the fi rst two years of his or her apprenticeship contract qualifi es for a non-refundable tax credit.

Make fi ling your taxes this spring even easier by doing it online. It’s fast, secure and you may be able to use cost-free fi ling software. Th e Canada Revenue Agency off ers step-by-step instructions at www.cra.gc.ca/getready.

Buying online is a convenient way to make any number of purchases. Nowadays, shoppers can purchase everything from books to boats online, mak-ing it easier than ever before for consumers to connect with their favorite retailers.But the convenience of online shopping also makes it easy to over-spend. When shopping online, consider the fol-lowing tips that should help curtail spending.* Understand online marketing. Perhaps it’s so easy to shop online because it’s so easy for marketers to target customers via the In-ternet. Before “liking” anything on social me-dia sites like Facebook, recognize that doing so is inviting marketers to inundate you with advertisements. Th is might be perfectly al-right for some people, but those who want to control their online spending might think twice the next time they profess their love for certain products.* Beware of “limited time only” deals. On-line retailers attempt to entice men and women to buy products by of-fering “limited time only” deals through their Web sites. Th ese deals can be for dis-counted items like clothing or electronics or more exotic off ers

like vacation deals to island resorts. While they might off er good deals, consumers who aren’t looking to buy a vacation package or a new wardrobe should ignore these off ers no matter how enticing they might be.* Include online spend-ing when establish-ing a monthly budget. Online spending is of-ten so convenient that many people fail to ac-count for it when es-tablishing their month-ly budgets. Come the end of the month, if you have considerably less money than your budget suggests you should, peruse bank statements to see just how much of that mon-ey went toward online spending. It might be a lot or might be a little, but take it into consid-eration when laying out next month’s budget.* Recognize it’s real money being spent. Buying online requires real money, but the convenience of online shopping, particularly when using sites that already have your fi -nancial information on record, makes it easy to overlook that real mon-ey is being spent. In-stead of swiping a card at the store, you simply click the mouse a cou-ple of times and you’ve made a purchase. Th is disconnect facilitates overspending, and con-

sumers who fear they might be spending too much should stop sav-ing their fi nancial in-formation on their fa-vorite Web sites. Th is makes it harder to make a purchase but reduces the risk of making an impulse buy.

While they have been through a diffi cult sea-son, the Drumheller Stampede and Ag So-ciety is continuing to thrive and appear to be getting stronger. Th e Ag Society has been in a state of fl ux over the past couple seasons, with changes to the executive and the loss of the WPCA. Mike Hansen president of the Drumheller and District Ag Society said it has been a lot of work to have the community take a second look and build trust. “I think we have made good progress,” said Hansen. While it appeared to be a blow to lose the chucks, they have sol-diered on. “Th e chuckwagons were here for eleven years, which is really good for a lot of things. Often, events have a lifespan of about six years,” said Hansen. While it wasn’t WPCA, the Ag Society brought in the Alberta Pony Chuckwagon As-sociation and had a successful show. Han-sen said they are al-ready in the planning stages for next year’s show. He says the en-tertainment value of the Pony Chuckwagon and Chariots is better with more close excit-ing fi nishes. “Th e guys want to come back, they really enjoyed it,” said Han-sen.

He said they are aiming for a four-day show on the August Long Weekend, and they are looking at more than 50 wag-ons coming for the event. A tarp auc-tion allowing lo-cals to get in on the action to support drivers is slated for April. While the Ag Society is excited about bring-ing the pony chucks, they are certainly not a one trick pony. Th e Society is con-tinuing to work with the IMCA to bring car racing to the track. Other racing outfi ts are also interested in com-ing to Drumheller. Last year they were able to get the Drum-heller Demolition

Derby off the ground, although it was not the success they hoped it would be. Th ey are al-ready looking at how to rebuild the famous Drumheller event. Other regular Drum-heller events con-tinue on, including the Christmas Bazaar, which enjoyed its third year. “It will defi nitely carry on,” said Hansen. To build support for their events, they have begun themed dinner events on a regular ba-sis. In February, they

are bringing in the Chevelles to the Stampede barn for a concert to also help raise funds for their events. Th ere are all kinds of oppor-tunities for those interested to get involved with the Drumheller and District Ag Society?

For more information, call 403-823-9339.

Here is a Valentine’s treat that is so easy, there is no excuse that you didn’t have time to make something special.

Sweets for the sweet

I used the “two-bite brownies” for the bottom layer, but any brownie or chocolate cake is fi ne. Just break it into pieces to fi ll the bottom of your dish.Top with a heaping spoonful of chocolate pudding, whipped cream, raspberries and then repeat layers. This is like an individual mini trifl e.As you can see, a wine glass works if you don’t have a sundae cup. A clear glass bowl is also nice.

Nothing says love like chocolate!

HappyValentine’s Day!

BREAKARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, be on your best behav-ior this week. Acquaintances both new and established will have their eyes on you, and it is essential that you make a good impression.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, although you may not be able to see into the future, you can plan for what may happen in the next few days. Now is the perfect time to check in with friends.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Gemini, get all of your work ducks in a row because you want to ensure you are up for the next promotion or pay increase. Now could be the time to make work your top priority.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22You may fi nd that you have an easy time of reading people this week, Cancer. Use this trait to your advantage to fi nd out how certain people feel about your new ideas.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, don’t get too excited when things seem out of whack this week. Keep calm and fi nd out how you can set things on the right course. Lead by example, and others will follow.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, try not to participate in any new activities this week. You are already over-extend-ed. Clear your to-do lists be-fore you take on any other responsibilities.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Show others how good their lives can be if they just follow a little of your own advice and take cues from what you have done already, Libra. Expect a few converts.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you may be more fo-cused on your fantasies and dream life than what is going on in your real life for the next few days. Just don’t wander around in a fog for too long.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, it may be hard to concentrate this week, es-pecially with so many ideas fl oating around in your head. But do your best to stay fo-cused.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, lend a helping hand when you see an oppor-tunity to do so. Donate your time to someone in need or help a friend or family mem-ber complete a project.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, clarify your needs and wants. Until you can de-lineate between these fac-tors you may be spending un-necessarily, which is not what your budget needs.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, it may take a few days for you to handle things, but don’t let that dissuade you from trying. Set your own timetable.

So far, the coyote trap-ping program in Drum-heller has relocated fi ve animals, however com-plaints keep coming.

Th e Drumheller Mail reported in its December 5, 2012 issue, the Town of Drumheller Commu-nity Enforcement De-partment was launching a trapping program to curb the number of coy-otes in the town. Com-munity Enforcement Supervisor Greg Peters told Th e Mail, they have relocated fi ve animals in approximately the last two months. “If anything, we hope it disrupts them a bit and keeps them from getting too comfortable and be-coming more of a prob-lem,” said Peters. He says it is hard to tell how signifi cant that number is because they continue to get com-plaints to the Commu-nity Enforcement offi ce and the chorus of howl-ing in the evening seems to be strong. It has been about three weeks since the last cap-

ture. He is hoping the warm weather will see more taking the bait. Residents are encour-aged to continue to make their yards less appealing to critters by not leaving comfortable places for them to den, to keep garage and com-post secured and to su-pervise their pets when outdoors. Also, if a per-son sees a trap to please leave it alone. To report a sighting or damage from a coy-ote, call Community En-forcement at 403-823-1363.

Off -ice offi cials needed for Dragons gamesMichael James | inSide Drumheller

Th e Drumheller Dragons are on the lookout for new volunteers to help fi ll key vacant positions for off -ice offi cials. Th e search began after losing sev-eral long term volunteers. “We’ve lost three volunteers in the past couple years and with job transfers and other circumstances, we may lose another couple from the crew next season,” said Barry Pozzo, head off -ice offi cial coordinator. Off -ice offi cials oversee all home games for the Dragons. Positions in-clude a scorekeeper, timekeeper, pen-alty box attendants, and goal judges.

“We’ve had a pretty dedicated and professional crew over the past 10 seasons, but many of them are elder-ly, so it’s time for recruitment,” said Pozzo. Th ose interested in learning more are encouraged to contact Pozzo at 403-823-6601 or the Dragons head offi ce at 403-823-2022. “If anyone is interested and avail-able to help with any remaining games this season, we could get them into some games and get their feet wet,” said Pozzo. “Th ere are many perks as a volunteer. We look for-ward to hearing from anyone who wants to join.”


A Drumheller Titans coach will be leading a select team of Alberta high school football players to take on Brit-ish Columbia. Ron Laprise says that All Pro Camps is in the midst of introducing an Alberta-B.C. football all star game, or “Bor-der Bowl” to showcase the talents of players from rural areas. He will be coaching the in-augural Alberta team and it may feature some top Drumheller talent. Right now, he is as-sembling a coaching

staff and setting up try-outs. Th e fi rst tryout for the Alberta team will be in Sherwood Park on February 22, in Airdrie on February 23, and on February 24, in Drumheller. Th is will coincide with a Media Day. “From the top 100 kids from those three tryouts, we will select the top 45 players who are going to be in B.C.,” said Laprise. Th e fi rst Alberta-B.C. Border Bowl will be at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna on May 11. All Pro Camps already hosts a of couple Bor-der Bowls in Eastern

Canada. It will feature the best Grade 10 and 11 play-ers from the rural com-munities. Laprise said the game is not affi liated with Alberta Football, which annually hosts the Senior Bowl for top prospects. Th e Border Bowl fi lls a gap to allow players from smaller schools in rural areas to get exposure. “It gives rural kids a legitimate shot at be-ing seen,” said Laprise. “Th ere are a lot of kids who have the ability to go on, but they don’t get seen, they don’t have that chance.”

In its fi rst year, La-prise said the major goal is just to make sure the game goes off without a hitch. As the move forward the event will grow to in-clude possible a ban-quet. In the future, they are planning to have the Border Bowl games for pee-wees, bantam and senior teams. Next season the game will be in Alberta.


Another one bites the dust. Th e Drumheller Midg-et Tier 3 Raptors have advanced to zone cham-pionships after utterly decimating the Canmore Eagles in one game by a score of 11-1. Normally, provincial rounds are decided in two games. “We did really good. We automatically ad-vanced to the next round,” said assistant coach Nick Schinnour. “I don’t think they (the Raptors) wanted to go to Canmore, because the Super Bowl was on, so they took it in one game.” Th e game started off locked in a stalemate, with a lot of end-to-end play. It wasn’t until late

in the fi rst period that Spencer Fournier gave the Raptors the lead with a two-on-one rush goal. From there, the Rap-tors dominated the game. Fournier would go on to score six more times before the game was done. “I was surprised we beat them by that much. I was expecting to win, but not by ten goals,” said Schinnour. “Some-times teams just have bad games, but we had a really good one. Th e boys played great. It was probably the best I’ve seen them play all year.” One of the biggest fac-tors to the Raptors suc-cess, explained Schin-nour, was staying out of the penalty box. Th e Raptors continued the momentum on Sat-urday when they headed

to Airdrie, where they won 6-4. Th e Raptors have a busy weekend ahead. Tomorrow night they hit the road to play their fi rst game of zones against a tough Th ree Hills squad. Game 2 will be held at the Drumheller Memo-rial Arena on Wednes-day, February 13. Last year, the Raptors ousted Th ree Hills from provincials. “Th ey’re in a higher Tier than us. We faced them last year in zone playoff s too, so they’ll be out for redemption,” said Schinnour. Th ey continue their league games on Fri-day versus Strathmore and Indus on Sunday. Friday’s game will be at home and starts at 7:15 p.m.

Th e Drumheller Valley Secondary School (DVSS) senior girls basketball team is getting back on track. Two weeks ago, the Dy-nos were denied by the al-ways tough Acme Redmen. Th e game opened with the Redmen gaining a small lead over the Dynos. However, both teams seemed evenly matched. Each basket the Redmen scored, the Dynos would reply with one of their own. For every turnover by the Dynos, the Redmen would return the favour. By the end of the fi rst half, the Dynos were only down by three points. Once play resumed, the Dynos were continually on the heels of the Redmen. Despite their eff orts, the Dynos couldn’t overtake their opponent and lost by one point. Th e game was challeng-ing and physical for the Dynos, but head coach Jennifer Raugust saw the team returning to their pre-holidays form. “It was an incredible game and so much fun. Th e girls played so well. I was very proud of them,” said Raugust. “We just need to do some conditioning and we’ll be even more threat-

ening.” Last week, the Dynos had a break after their game against the Trochu Blue Jays was cancelled due to the inclement weather. Th e game gave them a chance to practice for their game on Monday versus Prairie Christian Academy. “Playing PCA was good practice for the girls. Th ey’ve learned some new plays and had a chance to try to iron out the wrin-kles,” said Raugust. “Th e only thing they need to

work on is putting the ball in the net.” After battling with in-juries and sickness, which left them with only seven players against the Red-men, the Dynos are now healthy again. Th e Dynos return to the court on Monday for round two of the Battle of Drumheller versus the St. Anthony’s Sabres. Th ey then travel to Acme for a rematch against the Red-men.

Kendra Schmidt (centre) gets ready to pass the ball in the DVSS Dynos battle against the Acme Redmen on January 16. The Dynos and Redmen were neck and neck for the entire game, but in the end the Redmen came out on top by one point.

Th e St. Anthony’s Sabres hit their stride, beating the number four-ranked team in the province at the 1A level, and taking home third place at a tournament in Forestburg. Th e Sabres having a strong season with a tightly knit team. Last weekend they headed north to For-estburg for a 12-team tour-nament. Th e Sabres fi rst went head-to-head with Sedg-wick and quickly jumped out to a fi rst quarter lead. Th ey never looked back and every player made it on to the court contribut-ing to the win 73-62. Tan-ner Borowicz had 24 points and 22 rebounds, Nathan Comstock and Travis Di-etrich each had 16 points. Jakub St. Jean was an eff ec-tive fl oor general with 13 points and seven assists. Th is put them up against Bashaw for their second game Friday night. Th e game was in a smaller gymnasium and Bashaw had some size to clog up the Sabres’ inside attack. Th is opened up fl oor for St. Jean, who exploded for his season high 30 points. Borowicz had 26 points as they went on to a 72-63

win. Th e Sabres faced the home team in the semifi -nal and were in for a battle. Forestburg led most of the game. Th e Sabres pulled them in with a strong fourth quarter and led for a spell, but an unlikely shot late in the game put Forest-burg up and they defeated the Sabres 54-50. Borowicz again led the way with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Comstock had 16 points and seven boards. Th is put them in the third place game versus Daysland. A defensive ef-fort closing off the baseline and backdoor cuts nullifi ed the Daysland off ense and they were able to take over the game. A balanced of-fensive eff ort by the Sabres saw Borowicz score 17, St. Jean had 16 point and Di-etrich had 10. Th e Sabres went on to a 57-48 win. Coach Dan Patterson said what has set this team apart was the strong lead-ership by their key veteran players. Th is has allowed payers to develop their skills and support each other. “Having good commu-nication and everyone on the same page, makes the game and the year go a lot smoother,” said Patterson. Th ere is basketball action

at St. Anthony’s this Mon-day as the school hosts the Christ the Redeemer School Division Grade 7-8 girls divisional tour-nament. Th is will include teams from all over the school division. Th e Saints will be on the court at 8:30 a.m. Th e fi nal is at 4 p.m.
