Tuesday, December 24, 1991 The Gazette no suspects in snowmobile thefts Police still have no suspects and no witnesses two weeks after the theft of four snowmobiles in three separate incidents between December 8 and December 11 in Olds. All three thefts occurred on the west side of town, and appear to be linked, according to the investigating officer, RCMP Constable Bruce Hamblin. All four were left in front of residences, so they were pretty conspicuous. Somebody obviously came in here, saw easy pickings and took advantage of that, Hamblin said. He said the first theft occurred sometime between the night of Sunday, December 8, and the morning of Monday, December 9, at the Olds Trailer Court when a 1989 Polaris snowmobile was stolen from the back of a pickup truck parked in front of a residence. During the night of Tuesday, December 10, in front of 6029 Ash Street, a 1990 Skidoo was also taken from the back of a pickup. Hamblin said in both cases the machines were unloaded from the trucks, driven away and loaded onto another vehicle at a different location. In the early hours of Wednesday, December 11, two snowmobiles, a 1991 Polaris and a 1992 Polaris, were taken along with the 5.4 metre (18 foot) trailer they were loaded on. Hamblin said snowmobiles become more of a target during the winter because people are out using them, and do not keep them stored as securely as they would during the summer.

Stoppers at 1-800-242- doesn't take a whole lot for two people, or even one person, to unload a machine from a vehicle and drive it away, he added. He suggested that people keep their snowmobiles in their garages, or find some better way of securing them if they must store their machines outside. In the RCMP investigation, Hamblin said they have no suspects to date, and numerous neighborhood enquiries have not been Olds RCMP are 8477 The Gazette Published weekly at Olds, Alberta BOX 820, OLDS, ALBERTA TOM 1P0 BUSINESS ADDRESS FOR COURIER SERVICE 5030.- 51 STREET, OLDS, ALBERTA SECOND CLASS REGISTRATION NUMBER 0370 The Olds Food Bank received an early Christmas gift last week, thanks to Chiropractor Dr. Tom Boyter.

Grizzlys beat Royals for top spot by Derrick Penner The Olds Grizzlys travelled to Calgary and skated to a convincing 4-1 win over the Royals Thursday night, giving Olds a three point lead over the Calgary team in AJHL standings, on an even number of games. The win also left the Grizzlys undefeated in December, and on an eight game winning streak that started just after the team lost to the Bonnyville Pontiacs at home on November 29. Grizzlys General Manager B lt; Clark said the first place victory gives the whole team a high to take into the Christmas break., The fellas have been skating since about the middle of August, and this gives them a real emotional lift, Clark said. It was definitely a happy bunch of boys that came home at around 2:00 a.m. on the bus after the game, he added. cocaine seized in bust near Sundre drug section has handled larger drug investigations, they have not conducted any of a similar size in the Sundre area. 1 think it's safe to say that this is an unusual amount of drugs to be seized, for a rural area, he said. Brunet appeared in Red Deer Provincial Court Friday. The Fauberts are scheduled to appear in Sundre Provincial Court on January 14. Clark also noted it is the first time in the franchise's history that it has been in first place after the first half of the season. However he also said it is not a laurel the team is willing to rest on. They know they have a lot of work in front of them yet, Clark said, adding that they will be looking to their defensive strength as the key to the team's strategy into the second half of the season. Clark noted that in the last 10 games, the team's opposition has scored only 19 goals. That speaks a lot of our goaltending and our defence. When your goals against are under three a game, that takes a lot of pressure off of the forwards, Clark said. He added that defensive strength is what wins games in March, April and into May, when things really count. Thursday in Calgary, Erie Fulton scored twice to lead the Grizzlys. He put in the team's first goal in the first period, and scored again in the third to help take the game away from the Royals. Royal Darren Morrison scored the team's lone goal in the first, and the two teams carried the tie score into the third. Dean Rambo put in the winning goal, with Geoff Liska adding another insurance goal for the Grizzlys. Larry Moberg was also impressive, pulling in 31 saves for his 24th win of the season. While Grizzlys rookie Mike McPhee did not score, Clark added that the youngster turned in his most impressive' game this season. Though he's getting limited ice time, he's starting to show a lot of confidence, Clark said. Dave Becker, past president of the Grizzlys organization, agreed with Clark on McPhee's performance. The coach had him checking the Royals' top line all night, and they didn't get a point, he noted. Tuesday night the Grizzlys posted a 3-2 victory over the Saint Albert Saints. The Saints got on the board first with only 29 seconds expired in the first period, on a marker by Marc Kronewitt. Rambo and Reo Lajeunesse scored late in the first to give the Grizzlys a 2-1 lead. Steve Opp scored what turned out to be the game winner at 1:53 of the second period. The Saints' Curtis Fry brought the score within one early in the third period, but the Grizzlys were able to hang on for the win. Larry Moberg turned in another impressive performance, turning away 22 and 24 shots. The final standings going into the Christmas break will depend on the Royals' performance on a weekend road trip to Fort McMurray. Results of the weekend games were not available to the Gazette by deadline. The Grizzlys will next see action January 3, when they take on the Bonnyville Pontiacs, in Olds at the Sportsplex. * * * Grizzly notes From December 27 through the 29th the Grizzlys will be hosting a select Bantan tournament, in conjunction with Olds Minor Hockey.
