 PROJECT ENTRY IMPLICATES
     OUTLAW BIKERS IN
    DRUG TRAFFICKING
 Submitted by ALERT
  A joint investigation between
ALERT and RCMP’s Federal Se-
rious and Organized Crime has
dismantled an extensive cocaine
distribution network linked to a
member of the Hells Angels and
support club members.
  Project Entry was a year-long
investigation that resulted in 10
people charged with 45 criminal
offences. Those accused alleged-
ly fulfilled various roles within a
cocaine distribution network that
impacted the communities of Ed-
monton, Spruce Grove, Cold Lake,
Whitecourt, and Grande Prairie.

                                      On August 25, 2018, Tipple
                                    Park Museum was transported
                                    back about 650 years. Reenac-
                                    tors set up camp in the park with
                                    authentic medieval tents, tending
                                    to their fire, baking, spinning,
                                    playing music, showing off their
                                    crafts, going about their daily
                                    life, and educating.
                                      A bit further behind them one
                                    could hear the clash of sword
                                    on sword and mace on metal as
                                    the Crimson Blades and Hinton
                                    Ice Eaters, two medieval combat
                                    teams, battled it out. In the com-
                                    bat style they do, the winner is
                                    the last one standing on two feet.
                                    Trust me, they are sane, I prom-
                                    ise! They put on an excellent
                                    fight for the crowd at the park.
                                    One of the fighters from Leduc,
                                    George, was very pleased at the
                                    number of people in attendance,
                                    especially the crowd of kids.
                                      Arrow Tag was next on the
                                    agenda where attendees could
                                    finally shoot each other! After
                                    this the kids filled up the board
                                    room inside the Museum for a
                                    craft session where they got to
                                    make knight helmets, catapults,
                                    and stained glass windows. They
                                    even got to try their hand at me-
                                    dieval calligraphy and learned
                                    about heraldry.
                                      Next was the Grand Feast
                                    wherein the main hall was
                                    packed full of hungry families,
                                    fighters, and reenactors. They
                                    dug into pizza and also some au-
                                    thentic medieval dishes.
                                      To close it all off a medieval
                                    dance was held, and a costume
                                    competition awarded two attend-

                                      All of a sudden the museum

a sport of skill, that can involve not
only athletic prowess, but also brain
power. Here are some interesting
facts about the game.
  • To this date, golf is only one of
two games to be played on the moon.
The other is a javelin throw.
  • Long before the advent of tees,
golfers played off of hand-built sand
piles.
  • In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently
coined the phrase “birdie,” when he
hit a shot he defined as a “bird of a
shot.”
  • Making a hole-in-one during a
round of golf is quite a challenge.
However, the odds of making two are
incredibly low, at one in 64 million.
  • Only around 20 percent of golfers
have a handicap below 18. The Unit-

will show that the call is coming
from an RCMP Detachment in

  Another scam involves the
scammer advising the person
that their ITunes account has
been hacked. They request
ITunes cards as payment. They
tell the victim that if they do not
comply, then their account will
continue to be hacked and that
any of their personal informa-

  Safety Tips:
  No legitimate government
