The Village of Carbon has notified Kneehill County that effective immediately, and until further notice, the Village of Carbon is placing the operational status of the Carbon Fire Department on hold.
    Kneehill County has made arrangements with Drumheller, Linden and Acme and other municipal partners to ensure continued and uninterrupted fire/emergency services for Kneehill County residents.
    “Right now Kneehill County has a master fire agreement with all of the different municipalities and their fire departments so Drumheller, Linden and Acme are all kind of pulling together to provide coverage for that area,” explained Debra Grosfield, Kneehill County communications officer. “Then of course the other fire departments will pull down to have coverage for those areas if need be for any mutual aid calls.”
    All other fire services remain on operational status and in the event of an emergency or fire, residents are encouraged to call 911 for assistance. Carbon Deputy Mayor Bryan Peever and the village office declined to comment on the matter.
    “We’re hoping that this is temporary,” said Grosfield.
    For further information and updates, Kneehill County residents are invited to contact the County at 403-443-5541, or visit the Kneehill County website at www.KneehillCounty.com. Village of Carbon residents are directed to contact the Village of Carbon office at 403-572-3244.

    Two different photographs of the 1966 Drumheller Miners Allan Cup winning team have been received since the January 10, edition of the Mail.
    Doug Jensen and an anonymous donor came forward to donate their prized memorabilia. Jensen brought forth an original copy of the Drumheller Miners team photograph and the other person gave a framed Export A cut out of the Miners photograph.
    These photo donations will complete the introduction of the team in the Senior Amature Exhibit in Toronto’s Hockey Hall of Fame.
    Drumheller resident Gordon Clozza initially spotted the missing photograph while on vacation in late October, 2017.

    He noticed that the Senior Amature Exhibit and video monitor only had a small description of the legendary team with nothing to accompany the description.
    “We went there and I looked for the Senior Hockey Exhibit and I did find it and Drumheller was certainly named on the [Allan] Cup itself as the winner in 1966 but […] when I got to 1966 there was no Drumheller team so I thought “Well, we may need a photo of the Drumheller Miners, so that was my motivation to try all this anyways,” explained Clozza.
    Clozza is elated to hear that the exhibit will soon be completed.
“I’m glad that we got some response and that should complete the exhibit now as far as Drumheller is concerned,” said Clozza.
    The Mail has since sent the artifacts to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
