Let it snow
The snow came in time to make an extra white Christmas, but also for eight-year-old Anderson Freilinger to earn a few extra bucks before Christmas. He was out helping his father, Scott, shovel the sidewalk on Saturday morning. Scott said that Anderson already used some of the money he earned to buy a present for his sister. inSide photo by Patrick Kolafa

Drumheller Family Fund give to East Coulee School Museum Patrick Kolafa | inSide Drumheller
The East Coulee School Museum received a gift from the Drumheller Family Fund to warm their heart and warm their building. The East Coulee School Museum has been without heat since January when its ancient coal-fire heating system gave up. Over the last year they have been focusing their fundraising on replacing the heating system. On Thursday the Drumheller Family Fund presented the Museum with $9,930. Manager for the East Coulee School Museum Owen Thompson said this was by far the biggest step they have taken in raising the funds needed to heat the building. “It is like Christmas came early,” said a grateful Thompson. He explains the museum will need about $50,000 for the replacement and over the last half-year they have instigated a
concert series to help raise the funds. Other events including a family dance, and the quaint Christmas in the Coulee, all dedicated funds to the capital project. Brent Noland, president of the Dinosaur Valley Heritage society says they are grateful for the donation, and he hopes the funds they received this week will provide a spark to get the fundraising effort rolling. They are looking into some grant programs in the new year. Thompson said the will continue the concert series into 2013. The Drumheller family Fund was established in 1994. The Drumheller Family donated an endowment to the Royal Tyrrell Museum Cooperating Society to be focused on youth. The Co-operating Society invested the endowment with the Calgary Foundation and each year they invest the net revenue of the interest on to a community initiative.

Kinsmen raise funds for new Greentree playground Michael James | inSide Drumheller
If all goes well, a new playground will be springing up in the Kinsmen Park in Greentree next year. The Drumheller Kinsmen Club has begun the process after residents of the area contacted them about the possibility of building a new playground for children in the community. “It was a Kinsemen Park previously, but the equipment got old and it was taken out. I was approached by a community member asking us to redo the park,” said Drumheller Kinsmen Club president, Ashley Wright. At the moment, the Kinsmen are collecting funds and grants and determining what equipment they will need for the playground. The cost for new equipment can be high, with a swing set costing $7,000 for example. “We’re in the preliminary stages of what the cost will be. We’ve set aside some of our funds, had a pretty generous donation from Cenovus, and we’re in the process of applying for matching grants from the province. We’re hoping to get construction going next year,” said Wright. “You could spend anywhere between $70,000 to $100,000 quite easily.” Should everything come together, it is hoped the playground will be complete next summer. “This is what the Kinsmen Club has always been about,” said Kinsemen. “We want to make it a great playground once again.” To get involved or donate, contact Wright at 403-823-1870.
The Drumheller Kinsmen Club are hoping to turn part of the bare field on Cedar Crescent in Greentree into a bustling playground. Residents of the community approached the Kinsmen regarding a playground. The Kinsmen are currently
investigating what equipment they need and are collecting funds to make a new playground a reality next summer. inSide photo by Michael James

Dragons end Ć’rst half of season with shootout loss Michael James | inSide Drumheller
It wasn’t quite how the Drumheller Dragons wanted to end the ďŹ rst half of their season. On Thursday, December 20, the Dragons hosted the Fort McMurray Oil Barons in what turned into a tense game for players and fans alike. The Dragons, though pouring shot after shot on the Oil Barons’ net,
couldn’t ďŹ nd the back of the net. The Dragons skated into the holiday break with a 1-0 shootout loss. For most of the game both teams were locked in a scoreless stalemate. Neither were many power play opportunities for either team in a relatively penalty free game. After three periods of play, the teams went to a ďŹ ve minute over time period with a score of

0-0. The Dragons managed to send four shots at the Oil Barons net, but came up empty. It was a goalies’ game and both were playing extremely well. The game was eventually settled in a shootout. The Oil Barons were up ďŹ rst and sent out Doug Jones, who had been a Dragon from 2009 to September of this year. In what seemed to have been ripped from a Hollywood script, Jones scored the game winning goal against his former team. The three Dragons shooters that followed couldn’t penetrate the solid Oil Barons goaltending. However, the Dragons head into the break with considerable momentum. Since November 11, the Dragons have won 12 of 17 games and have won three of their last ďŹ ve. They are also poised to

rematch against the Oil Barons. They will then return to Drumheller for their ďŹ rst home game on January 9 against the Okotoks Oilers.
