Mountain View Credit Union in Carbon robbed

Police are investigating a brazen midday robbery at the Mountain View Credit Union in Carbon.

Over the noon hour on Wednesday, June 9, Drumheller RCMP received the call of a robbery at the Credit Union on Glengarry Avenue in downtown Carbon.

A lone male suspect, wearing a dark coloured hooded sweatshirt and jeans, entered the branch and demanded money, he was given an undisclosed amount of funds by staff, and left the building on foot.

Police continue to investigate.

Police are asking that if anyone has information on this incident to contact the Drumheller RCMP Detachment at 403-823-7590, or if they wish to remain anonymous and possibly qualify for a cash reward to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Low Numbers at Facility Tender Opening

Surprisingly low tender figures were the result of the tender document opening at Town Council Chambers Wednesday afternoon.
Shortly after 2 p.m., town CAO Ray Romanetz opened the tenders, along with project architect David Edmunds.

As previously reported, 9 tenders were received for the Badlands Community Facility, a multi-use building that is the first phase in a two phase project.
Original estimates for the project ranged between 23 million dollars to 24 million dollars, and tender amounts listed below came in considerably lower than those estimates.

The tenders are now scrutinized by the town’s staff, project managers, and the architectural firm, to ensure that all information contained in the bids is correct and in line with the tender information.

Tender amounts in order of lowest to highest are as follows:

Dawson Wallace Construction                 13,725,000.00
Byrd Construction                                   14,074,000.00
Dominion Construction                            14,149,000.00
CANA Construction                                  14,444,000.00
Ledcor Construction                                14,537,000.00
Lear Construction Management                14,698,800.00
Keller Construction                                  14,895,379.00
Westcor Construction                              14,920,000.00
Clark Builders                                         14,987,000.00

Lear Construction is currently doing the renovation work on the Composite High School in Drumheller.
GST amounts are also included in the bidding.

Once the tenders are examined, a recommendation will be made to Drumheller Town Council as to who will win the contract, probably within 2 weeks.
If deemed necessary, Mayor Nimmo could also call a special council meeting to deal with the matter.

McDonald’s refunds customers for recalled Shrek glasses

McDonald’s Restaurant is offering customers who return Shrek glasses to the restaurant $3, even when the original purchase price was just $1.99.
McDonald’s in Canada has followed the US lead on instituting a voluntary recall of this year’s special edition Shrek glasses. These glasses were produced for the opening of Shrek Forever After. These have been found to have cadmium in the paint used on the outside of the glasses. On Thursday of last week, McDonald’s Restaurant in the United States initiated the recall. Canada quickly followed suit.
“Upon learning of the evolving assessment of standards for cadmium in consumer products in the United States through the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), McDonald’s Canada determined in an abundance of caution that a voluntary recall of the glassware is the appropriate course of action. Importantly, the CPSC has said the glassware is not toxic and Health Canada has said the glassware meets Canadian requirements,” said a statement on the McDonald’s Canada website.
Brandi Schneider, owner of McDonald’s in Drumheller told The Mail customers who purchased the glasses can bring them back to the restaurant for a refund, and more. The Restaurant will give customers $3 per glass.
“This is a voluntary recall, we are always concerned about the welfare of our customers,” said Schneider.
She said so far, there has been a healthy uptake of customers bringing back the glasses, and she is encouraged. She also points out that only Shrek Forever After glasses are being recalled. Shrek glasses from previous movie promotions are not subject to the recall.
