RCMP continue investigation into suspicious death

   The investigation into the suspicious death of a man in Newcastle is continuing.
   Drumheller RCMP have released the identity of the male discovered deceased at a Newcastle home Monday morning.
The Drumheller Mail broke the story that EMS called for Police assistance at 4:45 .m. Monday morning. Investigations confirmed the death of 35-year-old Brian Le.
   Staff Sergeant Art Hopkins said the RCMP Major Crimes Unit has completed a thorough investigation. An autopsy was expected to be performed on Wednesday, April 29, and he said extensive forensic examinations are ongoing and will take an extended period of time to complete.
   The death remains suspicious.
   “Foul play has not been completely ruled out, however, I can assure the residents of Drumheller that this is a very isolated incident and that they are not at any risk,” said Hopkins.

First Co-op board chair opens Home Centre

According to General Manager Gord Van Kannel, the 19,000 square foot store was totally renovated floor to ceiling, and shoppers will notice increased selection in all departments, in a facility “we can all be proud of...”. The grand opening sale runs May 1 through to May 4.

You could be a perfect match for DinoFest!

Area residents wanting to be a part of local events without the lengthy commitment could find their match volunteering for this year’s DinoFest.

A volunteer for DinoFest from June 13 through June 15 could put in a short shift and still be home in time to update Facebook before dinner.

Angela Keibel of the Drumheller Festival Society said volunteer shifts are kept to a four hour block.

“We keep the volunteer shifts short so it’s not onerous for the volunteers, and they can enjoy the DinoFest and have fun.”

Feel good, have some fun, and receive a free t-shirt for volunteering.

DinoFest starts on Friday the 13th, and volunteers are needed that morning to help pick up and set up chairs for A Taste of Drumheller.

Volunteers are needed for the information booth - which includes specific information for the public on DinoFest and volunteer intake and registration - the pancake breakfast, KidZone and security.

“One of the difficult things we have is finding on-site security for midnight to 7 a.m. for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday night,” said Keibel.

There will be an R.V. available for security to use while they are not patrolling the site, she adds.

She said ideally DinoFest would like two people to cover those security shifts.

There is a volunteer application to download from the DinoFest website at www.drumhellerdinofest.com, under the heading “Contact.”

For more information, please email Angela at angela.keibel@tyrrellmuseum.ca or call her at (403) 334-2365.

DinoFest events are at the Badlands Community Facility, Spray Park, and Centre Street, and there will be other events held throughout town.
