Country rocker Aaron Pritchett to play Stampede Barn
Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
On the eve of the release of his new rock-country album In the Driver’s Seat, artist Aaron Pritch-ett spoke to inSide Drumheller about his new tunes and his up-coming show at the Stampede Barn. Pritchett says over a year of work has gone into his latest, and sixth release, which he says con-tains country heavily fl avoured with rock and roll. � e majority of the songs were co-written by Pritchett. “Mostly the idea behind the recording was to be a little more rock-country than anything else,” Pritchett says. “It has a little more fl air than I’ve had before. I’m in control of my own destiny now.” “With this, I’ve created some-thing I consider to be my best re-cording yet.” Born in British Columbia, Pritchett recorded the album at � e Armory in Vancouver, under the guidance of Bruce Fairbairn’s son. Fairbairn, now passed, had produced albums from hard rock artists like AC/DC, Metallica, and Aerosmith. He says this album is hard to compare to other artists. “A little country with a lot of rock infu-sion.” � e only Alberta date on Pritchett’s upcoming tour will be at the Stampede Barn in Drum-heller on Saturday, November 20, billed as an acoustic fundraiser on his website. � e show is a supportive fund-raiser for the Drumheller Public Library. His album, which came out Tuesday, November 9, will be hard to come by in stores around
Drumheller, but is available on-line and will of course be sold at his show later this month. Pritchett says he’s looking for-ward to visiting Drumheller, and after he makes his way in from Kelowna the morning before, he says he’ll hopefully be spending some time in Drumheller. “Maybe I’ll go check out some
old dinosaur bones,” he laughs. Advance tickets are $25 and are available at the Drumheller Public Library, Riverside Value Drug Mart, and the Drumheller Chamber of Commerce. Doors open at 5:00, and tickets are $30 at the door.
Country rocker Aaron Pritchett will be playing an acoustic gig at the Stampede Barn on Saturday, November 20, in support of his latest album In the Driver’s Seat.

� e MS Society of Can-ada, Drumheller Chapter, hosted an MS Awareness Day on Wednesday, Octo-ber 27, 2010. � ere were four events during the day: an open house at the Drum-heller Hospital, an informa-tion event for health pro-fessionals, a Table Talk at Greentree Mall, and a Vol-unteer Appreciation night at WHIFS Flap Jack House. “I think the awareness day went really well,” said Dr. Penny Smyth, an Edmonton neurologist who presented to local health professionals and to volunteers during the evening appreciation event. “We reached out to a lot of diff erent parts of the com-munity through the health
professionals talk and the public talk in the evening. People have so many ques-tions. If we can help answer them, then I think it helps people. It helps them take control of their disease and feel empowered to make the decisions that they need.” Deb Wynia, Drumheller Chapter Board President, agrees. “It’s very important for people to know that the MS Society is here to answer their questions. In particular, people have a lot of questions about the controversial CCSVI treat-ment. We want to be out front in the community so people are aware of our po-sition on the treatment and our advocacy work with the Alberta Government.”

Chips with Salsaa little spicy

Apparently more ducks fl ew to their deaths, or more accurately, land-ed to their deaths (had they kept fl ying they might have actually landed on water instead of oily sludge) on Syncrude’s tailings pond. � is is just after the company had been fi ned over $3 million for the deaths of ap-proximately 1600 ducks earlier. � is is a tragic case of bad timing, for the company, and the ducks of course, brought out those opposed to devel-opment of the oil sands, and calls for more fi nes, and better duck avoid-ance measures. Fines apparently don’t work too well - the ducks land anyway, and Syn-crude has yet to build a better scarecrow. (Maybe that’s the problem, too many scarecrows, not enough scareducks.) Stopping development of the oil sands is impractical. First, it would throw thousands of people out of work; second, “green power”, i.e. wind power, electric, geothermal, etc. simply cannot replace petroleum and all its by-products. Besides, those big windmills bring down their fair share of birds. Bob Hornung of the Canadian Wind Power Association recently wrote in the paper that wind turbines kill one to six birds per year. I fi nd that fi g-ure highly suspect. Robert Bryce, author of Power Hungry, wrote that the American Wind Energy Association estimated 1-6 birds killed per mega-watt of installed wind power. � at sounds a little more realistic. Consider now that according to the Canadian Wind Power Association, Canada has 3549 megawatts of installed wind power, and you have between 3500 to 21,000 birds killed or mortally wounded every year. � e deaths at the tailings ponds kind of pale in comparison, what with wind power being so “green” and all. Has anyone alerted James Cameron to this slaughter? Let’s face it, the tar sands are ugly, and they present a large target, no one can argue that, but their development is a necessary evil. However, they belong to the people of Alberta, and it is our responsibility, indeed it is our duty, to see that mitigation and reclamation are equal to devel-opment, or at least as close as possible. Our government concerns itself with how much it can claim in royalties from the oil companies. I would suggest that equal concern and consideration be given to how well the oil companies reuse, recycle and reclaim.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, going forward with an inspira-tional idea proves harder than you imagined. Maybe you just need a little help getting started. There's bound to be a friend around.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Achange is coming, Taurus, but you won't know what it is until it's right upon you. Keep your eyes open for exciting things on the horizon. Libra is involved, too.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Make the most of time spent with a friend on Tuesday, Gemini. There will be few opportunities for socialization when a big work project lands on your desk.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you won't know what to expect this week, and that can be exciting or hair-raising. Chances are a person who is go-with-the-fl ow like you will adapt.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Have a good time with family at the end of the week. You are in prime form being the host of the celebration. Leos often enjoy being in the spotlight, and you're no exception.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, if every day were easy, life would be pretty boring. Although, it's reason-able to want a few easy days thrown in there. You just may luck out this week.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Focus on your relationships, Libra. They are the most important part of the equation for the time being. Ex-pect romance to take a back seat to some family matters, however.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, it's time to talk about your feelings with a romantic partner. For a while you have been holding back and it's not good for the relationship at all.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, don't let misunderstand-ings with family lead to long-term ar-guments. Life is too short to hold a grudge so bridge the gap of communi-cation and you will be happier.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, if you thought things couldn't get anymore challenging, think again. An unexpected request puts your life in disarray for a few days. Ask for help if you need it.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Challenges seem to fi nd you, Aquar-ius. However, you may not be in the right frame of mind for dealing with any crisis this week. Buckle down and pull through.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, it's amazing how much you can see when you really slow down and admire the scenery. Work respon-sibilities can wait.

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

Bantams finish season with healthy Titan organization’s future
Kyle Smylie | inSide Drumheller
The Bantam Titans fin-ished a strong season onSaturday at home, wherethey lost a close matchagainsttheSylvanLakeLi-ons, 46-31 in their leaguefinal. “It was back and forthfrom beginning to end,”says coach Andrew Ber-dahl, an anomaly for thisseason – either the Titanswere laying out the otherteamorviceversa. “It was exciting becausewewerewellmatched,”saidBerdahl,addingthattheLi-onsplayedanexcitingstyleof game not regularly seenatthebantamlevel. Grade 9 halfback Spen-cer Fournier had yet an-other exceptional game bylightingupthescoreboard,running5touchdownsintoSylvan Lake’s endzone bytheendofthefourthquar-ter. “He’s an impressive ath-lete, and I would expectthat to continue into nextyear,” said Berdahl. “Thebest thing about these lastgamesisthatourbestplay-ers have really been ourbestplayers.” He adds all the Grade9 players have done well,making good news for theprogram when they moveup to the senior level nextSeptember. Looking back, it was agood year, says the coach.Resiliencyisoneofthede-fining termshepins to thebantamsquad. “We had some great ex-periences,andtheprogramlookshealthy–intermsoftheculturethat’sbeingbuiltand the level of play beingevolved.”
Bantam halfback Spencer Fournier bowls over the Sylvan Lake de-fence at home Saturday, eventually running five touchdowns by the end. The bantams lost the league final, 46-31, but will bring big talent to next season’s senior squad.
