With the cold snap this week, bringing chills to the bone, a photo came across the editor’s desk harkening back to a time when some locals may have had more meddle, or were maybe just foolish. The Polar Dip at the Drumheller Swimming Pool was a tradition for a few brave souls in the 1960s and 1970s. This photo, featuring former fire chief Bud Hansen (standing) and a few brave souls taking the plunge came from a collection from Steve Wolchina who, for a time, took photos for the Mail.
