Humane society given generous donation

(l-r) Heather Franciotti, a volunteer, and Joelle Mclellan, organizer of the Hell on Wheels versus Heartland baseball game, show off almost $1000 worth of donated items for the Drumheller and District Humane Society.

    Drumheller and District Humane Society was given a donation from two Calgary television series.
    The cast and crew of Hell on Wheels and Heartland came together in a charity baseball game on August 9 at Renfrew Ball Diamond in Calgary.
    At the end of all the day’s competition, the winning team got to donate to a choice charity, which ended up being Drumheller and District’s Humane Society.
    Joelle Mclellan has worked for Heartland for two seasons and Hell on Wheels for four seasons and organized the ball game between two television shows.
    “The event was done to bring fellow cast and crew members together outside of the film set for a fun filled day,” explains Mclellan. “This year we focused on a pet charity.”
    Mclellan was born and raised in Drumheller. Living in Nacmine now, she thought it was only right to give back to the community.
    Altogether, the event raised almost $1000 in gifts for Drumheller and District’s Humane Society’s animals.

A smart-car sits sideways on a bank several yards off Highway 564 near the Atlas Coal Mine Monday, August 18.

Drumheller RCMP say what was initially reported as an accident was a case of somebody requiring medical attention.

Shortly before 11 a.m. this morning, Dalum and Drumheller emergency services attended the scene on Highway 564, which splits off Highway 569 that runs beside the Atlas Coal Mine and up into the hills.

A smart-car was down over the bank several yards off the road.

Emergency crews were able to retrieve the car's driver, who was transported by Drumheller EMS to hospital.

RCMP say the individual received medical attention, and there are no charges pending and no further investigation into the matter.
