School's Out

Grade 1 students at Greentree School were elated to see the last day of school arrive, and not just because it’s the beginning of summer, but because of the day’s activities they had lined up.

This includes trips to the swimming pool, the Rotary Spray Park and even the Napier Theatre to see How to Train Your Dragon 2. Hopefully they cleaned out their desks along the way.


Drug bust nets stolen property

Drumheller RCMP recovered a number of stolen items, including 64 DVDs, in a drug bust June 25.
    RCMP searched a vehicle Wednesday night in the Drumheller WalMart parking lot and found the stolen items,  along with 160 grams of marijuana.
    Two Calgary men are facing charges as a result.
    55 year-old Richard Steel is charged with possession of marijuana, and 48 year-old Jerry Lyons is charged with possession of stolen property.
    The men were not held, and are scheduled to appear in Court in Drumheller on August 8, 2014.
   

Canmore native joins Dragons*

Canmore native Tristan Thompson, 17, recently signed to play with the Drumheller Dragons.

The Drumheller Dragons latest addition is a Canmore-born player.
    The Dragons have added 17 year old Defenseman Tristan Thompson of Canmore to this year’s roster.
    Tristan played in Strathmore last year for the UFA Bisons, where he lead the AAA League as the top scoring defenseman. The Bisons are affiliated with the Dragons, which means they were able to bring him up to play with the team during the playoff run this spring.

    “Tristan is the type of player who plays with passion, heart and character while playing a very physical game.  We are proud to have Tristan join the Dragons and look forward to helping him attain his goals on and off the ice,” said Dragons GM/Head Coach Brian Curran.   

“I am very excited to have the opportunity to play for the Drumheller Dragons and play for one of the best coaches in Junior Hockey, Brian Curran” said Thompson.
    The Dragons start their season in an exhibition series versus Brooks, with an away game August 20 and a home game August 22.
