Football facility vandalized

The Drumheller Football Association has built a tradition of pride among its players and the community, but last Sunday night, some vandal(s) took a run at the club.

On Monday morning parents, coaches and team staff were at DVSS surveying the damage to the club’s facility.

The team’s locker room doors were kicked in sometime over night. The Terrapins’ found their locker room ransacked and kitty litter from its flag weight was poured all over their equipment.  

The Bantam and senior team also found their locker room thrashed, equipment was damaged and there was spray paint on the wall. Fire extinguishers   were expelled all over the room.

The most malicious damage came in the coaching staff office. There they found someone has lit a fire on the coach’s desk, burning a celebratory Titans Helmet as well as documents and the team’s playbook.

On Monday morning, the incident was reported to the police.


Auditions underway for “Drumheller's Got Talent”

 

Auditions are underway for the youth talent show "Drumheller's Got Talent." Youth ages 13 to 18 wanting to take a shot at performing in a local talent show registered for a chance to go appear at auditions September 23 and 24.
 
  The auditions are focused on musical or vocal acts, such as singing or comedy, to enter for a chance to try to win the grand prize  - $2,000 of in-studio recording time.
    Auditions for the talent show are being held at the Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle, which is the old Central School.
    Acts making it through the audition stage will perform in a talent show open to the public in an evening performance to be held Friday, October 3.
    The talent show is a fundraising effort for Drumheller’s Youth Centre, which has been open for about a year now, and  serves youth in grades 7 to 12.

Close call on 4 Street West


    RCMP arrived pretty quickly to 4 Street West this morning after reports a power line may have been knocked down.
    Police say a large rig carrying equipment clipped a low hanging cable line near Everybody’s Gym after taking a wrong turn trying to get to the water tower.


    The equipment snagged on a second line, but the driver was able to free the equipment without knocking that line down.
    Police say no one was injured and Shaw is on the way to repair the line.
