2-year-old Ryan Engler, son of Sara and Gary Engler and 1 1/2-year-old Madelyn Bladen, daughter of Lindsey and Mike Bladen, ventured out after this week’s rain in their new shiny rubber boots to find a few puddles to splash in Wednesday afternoon. May showers have greened up the hills and lawns bringing in a late spring.
Environment Canada's online 7-day forecast for Drumheller shows a 30 per cent chance of rain both Friday and Saturday, with a high of 22 degrees. We may get a break from the rain Sunday, with a forecast of sunny and 23 degrees, but a chance of rain again Monday.
A preliminary inquiry for Calvin Wade Laughlin began in Drumheller on Thursday, May 29.
Laughlin was charged with manslaughter in May of 2011.
Austin Neil McMaster, 55, was found unconscious and beaten in the neighbourhood of Nacmine on the morning of May 4, 2011.
McMaster was taken to a Calgary hospital where he was subsequently taken off life support and succumbed to his injuries.
Laughlin has pleaded not guilty and elected Court of Queen's bench for his trial. He has chosen to represent himself in the matter.
