The community never stopsThe involvement in the community of Drumheller residents never ceases to amaze and Thursday had inSide Drumheller running pillar to post keeping up with the many activities in the valley. (Clock-wise from top) October 25 was “Be a Fan Day”, where supporters of Special Olympics athletes wore red shoelaces in celebration of the athletes and to support their programs. Deputy Mayor Tom Zariski, and councillors Lisa Hansen-Zacharuk and Jay Garbutt joined Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins, Special Olympic coaches, and athletes at the Badlands Community Facility to mark the day. The Poppy Campaign in Drumheller began Thursday afternoon when Legion president

Bob Hannah (right) pinned the fi rst poppy on Deputy Mayor Tom Zariski. The only one who seemed to have a quiet day was this bush bunny getting accustomed to the fresh snow the valley received. Hilda Hutter celebrated her 100th birthday yesterday at the Sun-shine Lodge. Hutter moved to Drumheller 52 years ago and worked as a nurse in the Drumheller Hospital. She was joined in the celebra-tion by residents and staff of Sunshine Lodge, Deputy Mayor Tom Zariski, and her nephew/godson who fl ew in from Germany to at-tend.

Faint striations in the fossils of two small recent dinosaur discoveries in the Drumheller valley is making the science community buzz this week. On October 26, the American Association for the Advance-ment of Science published the fi ndings of Royal Tyrrell Mu-seum Palaeontologist Francois Th errien and fellow University of Calgary researcher Darla Zelisnky. Th ey have discovered the fi rst feathered dinosaurs on the con-tinent of North America. “Since 1998 we have been dis-covering dinosaurs with feath-ers, so that’s no surprise, now we have a good understanding of how feathers evolved from meat eating dinosaurs, leading

up to birds,” he explains. “Or-nithomimids were a mystery, there was a gap in our under-standing. Even though good specimens had been discovered in Alberta for over 100 years, none of them had ever been found with feathers.” Two fossils of the aptly named Ornithomimids (Greek for “bird-mimic lizards”) were recently uncovered in the val-ley; one in 2009 near the Drum-heller landfi ll, and one in 2008 near Kirkpatrick. Th is is not only the fi rst time a feathered Dinosaur has been found on the continent, but the fi rst Ornithomimid with feath-ers. Th e discovery of a juvenile specimen shows remnants of a down-like plumage, while the adult dinosaur discovered

shows full large feathers and wing structures. Th e scientists revisited an older specimen in the museum’s collection to con-fi rm their fi ndings.

In some of the fossils the feathers show up as striations, while in others there are dark carbon streaks. Th e distribu-tion of the markings matched the pattern on modern wings. Th errien said the downy feathers were of an insulating nature, and the plumage and developed feathers on the more mature fossil could have served for reproductive purposes.” “Before, we thought, the wings would have been for fl ight or gliding, or to help the animal escape predators, but now we fi nd wings in adults and not babies. We looked at other birds and mammals, but also at dinosaurs… all those crests and horns and ornamentation only occur with sexual maturity,”

said Th errien. “Young guys don’t need this but when they get in to the game for sexual reproduction to try to display for courtship to impress female and scare away competing males, we think this is when these structures be-come important.” Th errien explained, like most discoveries, it was sort of an ac-cident. Because of the coarse sandstone in the area scientists simply felt feathers would be a long shot to fi nd. When they were unearthing one of the fi nds he joked with technicians, “If we were in Chi-na, we would call these feath-ers,” referring to the fi ne details often preserved in Chinese fos-sils, including feathered dino-saurs. For so many years people haven’t been paying attention to specimen in sandstone because they suspected feathered dino-saurs would only be preserved in fi ne grain rocks,” he said. He said this is the discovery highlight the leading profes-sional work being done at the Tyrrell Museum. “After 100 year of collecting in the valley, there is still lots to learn and discover right here,” he said. Another advantage for the museum is discoveries like this can be shared with the public right away. Rather than locking fi nds in a drawer, they hope to have them available for public consumption next month.

Th e end is in sight for the quarantine that has shut down the Drumheller and District Humane Soci-ety shelter. It is estimated the building will reopen to the public in one to two weeks. Roughly fi ve weeks ago, animals began exhibit-ing upper respiratory and stomach fl u-like symp-toms. In response, the shelter was quarantined and the Valley Veterinary Clinic has been treating the animals. All of the animals at the shelter have been responding well to

treatment. “We sent away a sample [to identifi y the virus] and are waiting for the results. Th e animals are improving and are doing quite well. We put them in quaran-tine to control the infec-tion in the shelter. I don’t want someone to take it home on their clothing and infect their animals,” said Heather Lehmann, a veterinarian with the Val-ley Veterinary Clinic. “I don’t think it will be long before the shelter is open.” Th ere are a number of factors that can acceler-ate the spread of infection, such as stress, crowded conditions, drafts, damp-

ness, dust, and mixing of diff erent age groups. “When you keep ani-mals in a contained area for a long period of time, and it can happen in a feral colony too, a virus can go around quickly and maybe mutate and do another round,” said Peggie Ginger, a volunteer with the Hu-mane Society. “Th ey have seasonal illnesses just like people do.” Every precaution is be-ing taken to ensure the in-fection does not spread. “We can’t adopt out and we can’t let anyone in. If they come in, it could get on their clothes and they could take it home to their

animals,” said Ginger. “Th e people who go into the shelter to work and clean, they have to be sprayed down with disinfectant be-fore they leave the build-ing.” It is not know how the virus entered the shel-ter. Possible explanations include a new animal brought into the shelter or even from human contact. “Someone could have brought it in on their clothing,” said Lehmann. Th e area where animals are brought does not have

a separate ventilation sys-tem, like most larger shel-ters. Th ough the animals are separated physically, airborne pathogens are not impeded. It is hoped with funding, the areas can be separated more in the future. Th e volunteers of the Humane Society will be getting expert training and advice to help ensure the animals remain healthy in the future. “We’re going to have shelter health come in to teach us some procedures

and give us some training on how to help the pets we have on site,” said Ginger. To help stop the spread of infection at home, pet owners are encouraged to wash and disinfect their hands between touch-ing animals and vaccinate their pets. Th e Humane Society is in need of willing homes to foster animals tempo-rarily while the quarantine remains. Th e Humane Society can be contacted at 403-823-8999 or 403-334-0894.

Illness causes quarantine at Humane Society shelter

The Drumheller and District Humane Soci-ety shelter is in a state of quarantine after a fl u-like virus swept through the animals fi ve weeks ago. The animals are currently being treated and are doing well. Volun-

Drumheller can have a far, international reach as evidenced by a recent aid trip by a Drumheller resident. Th e Drumheller Ro-tary Club, in tandem with four other Rotary Clubs in Alberta, sent member Rachel Sheils to Guatemala recently to help an impover-ished community. Th e goal of the trip was to deliver much needed water fi lters and training to the residents of the small community of Mocohan, so they may be able to have one of the necessities of life; clean water. Th e need for clean water had been identi-fi ed by a Rotary mem-ber who went to Moco-han as part of another group several years ago. “It took about two years and $34,000 for water fi lters and we were ready to go,” said

Sheils. Sheils left for Gua-temala on September 10 to help distributed roughly 700 personal water fi lters, enough for each household in Mocohan. Th e Rotary clubs raised $17,000 for the project and the fed-eral government pro-vided matching funds.

Th is wasn’t the fi rst time the village has re-ceived aid. “It was really good because another orga-nization in the past had tried to help the com-munity by building a well, but as soon as they

left, the person who owned the land made people pay. Th e same happened with a wind-mill. Some organiza-tions go in with the best intentions, but some-times don’t get the best results,” said Sheils. Th e Rotary partnered with an established or-ganization in the vil-lage, Impact Ministries, who have been in the community for 12 years and who run the local school. One of the most striking parts about life in Guatemala for Sheils was their level of pov-erty. “Th ere are a lot of people who live on the 24 hour cycle. Th ey’ve made enough money to make it through the day and then start over the next,” said Sheils. However, Sheils reck-ons there is a lot we as Canadians can learn about life from the peo-ple of Mocohan.

“Even though they are impoverished, they have a beautiful cul-ture. Th ey are so rich in relationships. Our culture can learn a lot from them about slow-ing down and enjoying the presence of people,” said Sheils. Th e money for the fi l-ters was raised through the many fundraising events of the Rotary Club. “When people sup-port our fundraisers, they support a num-ber of projects. It helps support community as well as international projects,” said Sheils. Sheils returned from her trip on September 19, but she’s already thinking of going back to continue helping the residents of Mocohan. “I loved it,” said Sheils. “I’m hoping to organize a mission trip through the church to take peo-ple there to experience it.”

Th e spookiest time of the year is almost here. Next Wednesday, kids will be out and about trick-or-treating. Down-town Drumheller is once again welcoming fami-lies to come for some spooktacular fun. On Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., many downtown businesses will remain open to give out Halloween candy to scary little ghosts and ghouls. “It’s something the business community puts on for the children,”

said Connie Tremblay, an agent with ReMax Drumheller and organiz-er of the downtown Hal-loween events. “Some of the businesses will deco-rate their buildings. It makes it a lot more fes-tive.” Th ere is more than just the candy down-town. D.A.R.T.S., which is on 1st Street East and 3rd Avenue, will once again be transformed into a terrifying Haunted House open to all.

BREAKARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, you may have to put a little more effort into your re-lationship to really reap the rewards. It doesn’t matter if you just met or have been to-gether for years. Amp up your efforts.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21There is turmoil in your fi nan-cial sector, Taurus. But all it takes is some discipline and budgeting and you can be right back on track in no time at all.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21It’s time to get creative, Gem-ini. Maybe you are planning a party that can use an interest-ing theme or thinking ahead to holiday shopping. Think outside of the box.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, embrace your childish side and let loose. Sometimes it can feel great to shake off responsibility for the time be-ing and just act like a kid with no worries.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Leo, err on the side of caution this week; otherwise you may see too much money fl ying out of your wallet. Get into a sav-ing mode instead of a spend-ing one for the time being.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, now is not the time to make any big changes that could rock the boat. Enjoy the solid foundation that you have built for a few more weeks.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, the choices you are making may temporarily sever a few of your relationships. While this may hurt now, there’s a good chance you will mend fences in the long run.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, no matter how hard you try, it is not in the stars for you to make a fortune on any get-rich-quick scheme. Focus your energy on different ideas.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, although you may be anxious about some pre-sentation you need to make, it is necessary for advancement at your job. It will be over be-fore you know it.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, get together with Leo and develop a plan that will get your fi nances in order. Until you sit down and view everything in black and white, things will be in fl ux.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, although work may be giving you headaches, stick with it for the time being because there could be some major changes on the horizon that work to your advantage.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, spend the early part of the week really buckling down to get things done and the lat-ter part can be enjoyed any way you want.

Obituary

GERBERErnest Joseph

June 15, 1925 - October 22, 2012

Ernest Joseph Gerber, of Drumheller, Alberta, passed away peacefully at the age of 87 surrounded by his family on Monday, October 22, 2012 at the Calgary Foothills Hospital. Ernie was born in Edgewood, B.C. June 15, 1925 to Ernst and Mary (Buck) Gerber. He was the youngest of three children. His family operated a cheese factory in Edgewood. Later they moved to Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. Ernie had been on his own since a young teenager throughout the dirty 30’s and war time. He worked very hard as a chauff eur in Davidson, SK, the nickel mines of Sudbury, ON, winter logging and coal mines of Luscar, AB, and as a farm hand for a few dairy operations near Calgary. In 1947 he bought a farm north east of Coronation, AB and traded his Indian motorcycle and sidecar for a grain truck that was later used as the Coronation fi re truck. He married in 1957 and was blessed with three children for whom he spent countless hours building homemade toys from tractors to go-karts and even the go-kart banked track. Ernie used his creative ingenuity to build various farm yard buildings and machines to expand the farm. He was able to repair most anything and off ered his help to neighbors. He even built his own machinery. In 1965 he designed a hydraulic motor and control system that he patented. Ernie never lost his curiosity of how things were made and at the age of 65, he trained for two years to become a machinist. Ernie moved to Drumheller to retire. In 1994, he married Mavis Keith. Together, they enjoyed many trips for various wood working courses. They travelled to Eastern Canada, the Caribbean, to Switzerland where he located his family roots, and most recently to Hawaii. Numerous other more local adventures were made with Mavis and friends. He loved visiting and exchanging ideas with his sense of humor and wit. He enjoyed his home, working in his shop and out in their yard. Ernie is survived by his loving wife and best friend Mavis Keith-Gerber and his special pet Chauncey; his children; Bill (Gail) Gerber of Bragg Creek, Jim (Terese) Gerber of Coronation and Rhonda (Siggi) Pechout of Calgary, his grandchildren; Lexi Pechout, Chelsey and Teren Gerber; Mavis’ sons; Ian (Connie) Walker, Danny Walker and Darren Walker and grandchildren; Kayanna, Kaleb, Janelle and Brianne Walker. He is also survived by his sister Alice (Ken) Haddow and sister-in-law Alice Gerber. He is predeceased by his brother John Gerber. Night prayer service will be from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 30, 2012 at Courtney-Winters Funeral Home 199-2nd Street West, Drumheller, Alberta. Funeral Services will be held at St. Anthony’s Catholic Parish on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 11:00 A.M. with Father Gilles LeBlanc offi ciating. Interment will take place at the Drumheller Municipal Cemetery, with lunch to follow at the Royal Canadian Legion. Memorial donations in his memory may be made to the Drumheller Area Health Foundation 351-9th Street NW Drumheller AB T0J 0Y1, in care of the Physiotherapy Center. Courtney-Winters Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements (403 823 2666).

Drumheller Library captures the momentMellissa D’Onofrio-Jones (left), director of the Drumheller Public Library, takes a snap shot of a group of library regulars on Wednesday, October 24. Throughout the dayphotos were taken of residents who came in to the library. The residents wrote down why they came to the library, with reasons such as “Reading is cool” and

“I love the library,” and were then pho-tographed with what they wrote. The day was part of celebrating Library Month. In the picture here are Ryah, Kirsten, and Chloe Sutcliffe, Tayver and Sheila Plante, Jonas, Andrea, and Kara Boehm, and Karys and Shar Teske.

An unexpected setback has delayed plans to open Drumheller’s fi rst naturopathic clinic. It is now ex-pected Hope Clinic, based out of the old St. Antho-ny’s School, won’t be operational until after Christ-mas. Project leaders were optimistic the clinic would be open at the beginning of November after a naturo-pathic practitioner was hired in May.

“When we launched our intentions to open the clinic, our advisors suggested we fi rst recruit profes-sionals to the clinic. We went through an extensive search process. In May, we off ered the opportunity to a young lady,” said Jon Ohlhauser, project leader for Hope Health Ventures. Th e practitioner had to write an international ac-

creditation exam to be offi cially a practioner of natu-ropathic medicine. Unfortunately, she missed pass-ing the exam by a single point. She intended to write again, but had to wait until February 2013 and wouldn’t receive her results until May. Hope Clinic was therefore forced to delay opening

and resume the search for a naturopathic practitio-ner. “We’ve reopened the search. We interviewed a candidate from Toronto, via Pigeon Lake yesterday. We’ll see if there is a fi t and if there is, we’ll probably only see a couple months delay. Th ey would have to receive their Alberta licence. If would take about four weeks to get that,” said Ohlhauser. Appointments had intended be taken at the be-ginning of October, but now will be delayed until a practitioner is offi cially hired. “We put the appointments on hold until we fi nd out offi cially when we’re opening the doors. As soon as we have a candidate and they’ve accepted, we’ll be opening the appointment book. Th at could happen in the middle of November,” said Ohlhauser. Th e delay in opening the clinic is not expected to aff ect the proposed start of Hope College. “It doesn’t, they’re two separate streams. Even though they have some synergy, they have diff erent timelines. We still expect to open next fall,” said Ohl-hauser. Th ose wanting to partake in the new clinic’s ser-vices will have to wait a little longer. “It was an unexpected curve ball,” said Ohlhauser. “December 1 is the best case scenario, but I would say January 1 is more realistic, because of Christ-mas.”

Drumheller’s Hope Clinic experiences unexpected delay

Hope Clinic, which will operate out of the Old St. Antho-ny’s School building, has been delayed until January 1, 2013. The naturopathic practitioner that was hired nar-rowly missed receiving her international naturopathic ac-creditation, which therefore required Hope Health project leaders to resume the search for a practitioner.

Foster families make up an important part of communities, and this week they are being rec-ognized nationally and locally. At Monday night’s Drumheller Town Council Meeting, Dep-uty Mayor Tom Zariski made the declaration that Drumheller rec-ognize Foster Family Week. He again made the declaration Tuesday

evening with foster fam-ilies in the area as well as professionals in the Central Alberta Child and Family Services Au-thority. “Whereas healthy families which are sup-ported by responsible and caring communi-ties, Foster Families are the safe and healthy family alternative for children in need; and Whereas the hands of society support the child - foster parents are an illustration of these hands; and Whereas Th e Town of Drumheller and surrounding area recog-nizes that it is because of Foster Families that children in need can re-main in their own com-munities alongside their previously established supports in their family, school, church, friends and neighbors; therefore I do hereby proclaim Th e week of October 21 to 27, 2012 as Foster Family Week,” reads the declaration. A press release from Alberta Minister of Hu-man Services David Hancock describes fos-ter families as unsung heroes. “I want to extend my

heartfelt thanks to all of our foster families for your vital role in improving the lives of children and youth,” said Hancock. “We know the care and supports provided throughout a child’s life are extremely important. Th e dedica-tion, compassion and generosity of Alberta foster parents are greatly appreciated and truly worthy of recognition.” In Alberta, foster par-ents are caring for about 4,600 youngsters. In the

Drumheller area, there are about 13 families. On Tuesday evening they held an apprecia-tion night for the fami-lies in the area as well as those agencies that work with them. Th ere is always a need for more foster fami-lies. Information can be found at www.child.alberta.ca or by calling 403-823-1767.

Watch for our little goblins!

It really is frightening, the number of people who go south for the winter. Nationally it must number in the 10’s of thousands. Some go for a couple of weeks to a rented place in Phoenix and the surround-ing area, others will go for a month or two to a time shared Mexican condo. Still others will leave town in October and not come back until March or April. Th ey may show up for a few days around Christmas, but for the most part they seek the warmer climes, and who can blame them? Certainly not I. We are a very fortunate people, we have been blessed with great wealth. We know it, we’re grateful for it. To be able to leave our homes, and stay elsewhere, simply to avoid winter and the cold. How lucky are we? How many of you have been on the wrong side of a bully at one time or another? How many of you were the bully? Admit it, we’ve all been the bully or been bullied at some time in our life. Not to worry, the NDP has called for a National Prevention Strategy to combat bullying. (I can see it being almost as eff ec-tive as the war on poverty or drugs). Of course all those in the House of Commons, our MP’s, will have to forgive and forget all the bullying they’ve done to one another over the last 10 years. And promise, un-der penalty of the “put a loonie in the jar for every bad thing you say” rule, never to bully again. I would suggest that before any bullying preven-tion strategy be attempted, someone ought to defi ne bullying, before it becomes too politically correct. Th e defi nition may be so broad that the smallest thing you say or do to someone, will be labeled bully-ing, and you labeled a bully. When I fi rst read about the young girl who com-mitted suicide because she was being bullied, I won-dered in what manner was she being bullied. From what I had read, she was not really being bullied in the conventional sense, she was instead being sexu-ally harrassed. My next question was, how could this be? Apparently, she did something for which, like so many things in life, she regretted. She bared her breasts to a computer screen, and the person on the other end had that image forevermore. Th e picture, or video became quite popular, and unfortunately rather ubiquitous. Th at is the folly of putting any-thing on the computer. So, who is at fault? Th e fellow who took the picture and kept showing it around? Th e girls parents for allowing her to use a computer for such purposes? Th e girl, for doing what she did? Th e godless, internet, social media? Stop bullying? You might as well try and stop global warming.

So cold...

Drumheller has been buried by snow this past week and temperatures are dipping below freezing. Even the animals that call our town home are seeking shelter from

the early winter. This rabbit was found keeping warm under the engines of the cars park at The Drumheller Mail/inSide Drumheller offi ce.


Foster families honoured


Th e Drumheller Mi-nor Hockey Raptors hit the ice for the fi rst time this season last week-end. Th e teams racked up quite a few wins in what, for some, were their fi rst games of the year. Th e Canalta Novice Tier 6 team came out strong for their fi rst two games of the season. On Saturday, the team dominated Strathmore by a score of 18-3. Th e next day, they hosted Brooks and came away with a 13-7 win in front of a home crowd. Th e McDonald’s Tier 3 team began their sea-son two weekends ago. Th is past weekend they managed their fi rst win, beating Fort Ma-cLeod on the road. Th e day prior they had a close 9-7 defeat against Chestermere. “We lost to Ches-termere, but the kids

played really good. On Monday, we went down to Fort MacLeod and gave them a whupping,” said head coach Kit Clark. “Th e kids are ex-cited and having fun.” At the Atom level, the Yavis Atom Tier 3 team took to the road on Sunday, coming away with a 10-7 win.

Th e EnCana Atom Tier 6 team had two games this past week-end and emerged vic-torious in both. On Saturday they hosted Rockyford and deci-mated the visitors by a score of 18-2. Th e next day they paid Nanton the same welcome, winning 7-2. Th e NGC Pee Wee

Tier 2 team did the same, winning both of their fi rst two games. In Beiseker on Saturday, they bested the home team by a close 4-3. Th e next day they were in Olds and won again in a close game, 7-6. Th e Hi-Way 9 Tier 6 Raptors took Strath-more to task for their fi rst game on Saturday, winning 13-3 at home. Th e next day they re-peated against Okotoks Gold and won 8-4. “We’ve got quite a crew this year, they’re working really good to-gether. Th ey’re loving it and happy to have their skates back on,” said Mark Coultes, head coach of the Hi-Way 9 Raptors. Th e Boston Pizza/

Western Chev Bantam Raptors started their season on the road on Friday in Hanna. Th e Bantam team started the season off on the right foot to get anoth-er championship. In Hanna, they won 14-3. Th e next day at home, they were victo-rious against Fort Ma-cLeod by a score of 6-4. Th e Bertram Drilling/Sports Room Midget team are hoping to con-tinue their champion-ship ways. Th ey did so against Blackie on Sat-urday, shutting them down 8-0. In goal for the Midg-et Raptors was Chase Kostelecky, who saved all 27 shots fi red his way. Th e next day, the

team was in Redcliff , but couldn’t keep the momentum going and lost 11-4. “Th ey did excellent for their fi rst weekend. We won on Saturday and, unfortunately, lost Sunday’s game. Th ey’ll come back once we get more practice together and learn to play to-gether,” said assistant coach Nick Schinnour. “We’ve got a strong team as long as we’re in the right tier. If we’re not, we’ll have to step up and make the team stronger. We were down last year and we made it work by the end.” A key diff erence this year is how the teams were tiered. Coach-es feel this year the

teams are more evenly matched within their tiers and are hopeful it will translate into more wins. “We’ve got them tiered a little better than pervious years, so it’s going really good,” said Clark. Coultes was agreed, stating, “I think the tiers are better this year. I hope some of the kids who have had below a 50 per cent win aver-age over the past few years will get some wins and start feeling better about hockey.” Th e Raptors season continues.
