Morinville Schools rally behind Pink Shirt Day
by Lucie Roy
Morinville News Corrspodent
The same day Albertans shaved their pink hair for the Annual Hair Massacure
cancer fundraiser, Morinville students were once again sporting a slightly different
shade of pink for the Annual Pink Shirt Day, an Anti-Bullying Awareness initiative.
The movement began in 2007 as a way for two Nova Scotia students to support
a fellow student bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Pink Shirt Day has
grown over the past nine years to become a national day of awareness about the
impacts of bullying.
Kindness comes in one size, and it fits all. That was the message shared at
Notre Dame, Primeau, Morinville Public Sshool and the Morinville Learning Centre
Feb. 24, as well as in some offices and businesses in town.
At Primeau and Notre Dame, Tenille, a 22-year-old singer/songwriter from
Grand Prairie, told stories about letting who you are light up the world.
Now living in Nashville, Tenille is the youngest recipient of the Canadian
Country Music Award’s Slaight Music Humanitarian Award, which she received in
2012.
In her message, Tenille said every single step is a mini platform you build on
your experiences that allows you to lead people with relatability and honesty. She
told students every victory is a climb; every failure is a gift wrapped exactly like a
present into the shape of new steps bringing you closer to where you are meant

Susan Evans to be recognized
by St. Albert Bahá’í community
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
Cardiff resident Susan Evans will be recognized as
an advocate and an unsung hero at a United Nations
International Woman's Day Celebration in St. Albert Mar.
5.
For the past 20 years, the St. Albert Bahá’í
community has sponsored an annual celebration
of United Nations International Women’s Day by
recognizing the contributions women make to society.
It was Evans contributions to society as a passionate
and hard-working advocate for children and families
that led to her nomination this year.
The recipient said she was surprised and humbled
to learn she would receive the award. "At first, I felt
disbelief, then shock, and then I was humbled," Evans
said. "I appreciated [the] thoughtfulness, the time, and
effort of the nominator, but I really did not expect my nomination would
go far just because I know and hear of so many exceptional women doing
extraordinary work in our communities and beyond."
Evan's nomination indicated she was led to an understanding of the
importance of education in being successful in life through her work as a
probation officer.
Her advocacy work began when she gave birth to her son and found it
necessary to advocate for special programs funding. Evans brought parents
facing the same funding cuts together, and she began advocating on behalf
of the affected children and their families. As a result of that advocacy, the
government reinstated funding.
Evans continued her advocacy while serving on the provincial school
parents’ council. Concerned about the government’s plans to integrate all
types of learners in the same classroom without having adequate supports
in place, Evans worked to understand all the resources needed to support
the proposed change. When the provincial parent council hit a dead end,
Evans joined a political party to get the ear of her MLA on the issue.
That led to a policy committee and the development of an education

resolution accepted by and promoted by the party. Though
defeated, she felt the experience with policy development
gave her a better understanding of the process.
"For me advocacy starts with listening and really
understanding people's stories; it is about understanding
people's emotions; it's about validating," Evans said. "Often
many stories are the same but are being said differently.
It's also trying to understand the why's, both internally
and externally, and then taking the individual puzzle pieces
and forming a picture. Advocacy is a respectful process —
respectful of all. It's about harnessing people's stories,
emotions, energy and working towards a common goal and
solution. Sometimes, it's also understanding the solution
may not be achieved immediately or in one's lifetime."
In the end, it's about the journey for Evans, a journey
where she stays true to her values and creating a sense of
togetherness. "It's about laughing, crying, being angry or
frustrated, celebrating — together. It's about overcoming
barriers — together. It's about exploring and taking the puzzle pieces to
form that picture — together. It's about affecting change — together. It's
about empowering people — together. It's about helping individuals finding
their voice — together. It's about saying, "You matter" — together. It's
about saying, "You are not alone" — together.”
Evans said when the advocacy journey is over; people's paths may
never cross again, but it's all OK with her. "[I]n the end you remember the
smiles and the journey, and you can only hope that in some small way you
have made a difference — together," Evans said.
The Cardiff resident and Sturgeon County Councillor is one of five
recipients this year. Other recipients include Hazel McKennitt (Aboriginal
Initiatives, Education), Joanna Pearse (Youth Empowerment, Education,
and Unsung Heroine), Elaine Caron (Community Involvement, Senior), and
Diana Goldie (Personal Philanthropy and Humanitarian).

National Column: Should
kids have the right to die?
by Tim Harper
A joint committee dealing with the most emotional of issues to come
before this Parliament has boldly opened the door to assisted dying for
adolescents and children in this country.
The committee, chaired by Toronto Liberal MP Rob Oliphant and
Conservative Sen. Kelvin Ogilvie, pulled very few punches in its report
released Thursday, recommending the removal of many roadblocks to
assisted death, broadening it to include those with psychological
suffering and calling for the right to prior consent following the diagnosis of
an illness that would lead to loss of competence.
It is the age debate, however, that was the most contentious subject
before the committee, and it is one issue that could split Canadian political
opinion, regardless of the overwhelming support for the right to assisted
death.
The committee - with the exception of Conservative MPs who issued a
largely pre-ordained minority report - recommended the right to physicianassisted dying be extended to minors after a three-year study period
following the enactment of a national law, expected in June.
Should the Liberal government accept this recommendation, it would
move this country into assisted-dying territory known in only two countries
in the world: Belgium and the Netherlands.
Belgium waited 12 years before extending assisted dying to minors. The
committee recommendation goes well beyond existing legislation in Quebec
and, opponents are saying, beyond the Supreme Court of Canada ruling,
which was silent on the question of age.
Belgium has no age restriction on physician-assisted death, but there
are a host of safeguards, including a diagnosis of a terminal illness,
unbearable suffering, proof that the child understands the request, and is
in a position to make the request him or herself.
In the Netherlands, children between 12 and 16 must be able to
express their own views, but still need parental consent. Between 16 and
18, parental consent is not required.
The majority on the committee essentially said that “suffering is
suffering” and argues that a 17-year-old suffering intolerably should not
have to arbitrarily wait until 18 to exercise a charter right available to
adult.
Throughout its deliberations, Oliphant says, the committee tried to stay
true to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It did so when it came to age,
but also realized that additional safeguards would be needed to deal with
the development of the adolescent brain, the potential of taking advantage
of youth and their vulnerability.
Oliphant and his committee majority want the three-year period to be
used by the government to study the “moral, medical and legal” issues
surrounding the concept of what it calls a “mature minor” and it wants
this studied by health specialists, youth advocates, academics, ethicists
as well as minors themselves and their families. It follows a similar
recommendation by UNICEF Canada. But how young?
“The real issue is capacity,’’ Oliphant told me, citing a Supreme Court
decision to uphold a Manitoba ruling in which a young girl under 16 refused
a blood transfusion. The top court ruled the right to make such decisions
varies in accordance with the level of maturity, the degree to which that
maturity is scrutinized and the consequences of the decision. What about
the rights of parents of a 15-year-old deemed to be competent and wishing
to end his or her life?
“It is hugely tough,’’ Oliphant says. “We considered that question. In
the end, that will have to be considered by the minister. At the same time,
there is case law that says it is not the parents’ concern.’’
Federal Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, would go nowhere near
this in receiving the report. She and her cabinet colleagues will have to
craft legislation and have it pass both chambers by June 6.
Wilson-Raybould says she will seek “balance in our approach that
recognizes the autonomy of individuals, that recognizes the need to
protect the vulnerable, that respects the conscience rights of medical
practitioners.”
But this joint committee has done a lot of the really tough work.
“I can’t tell you how many MPs came to me and said, ëThank you for
doing this work, I’m not sure I could. This is so hard,’” says Oliphant.
He knows the depth of the emotions at play and the pain that the
death of children brings, having officiated at funerals where the agony is
compounded by the size of tiny coffins, he says, holding his arms perhaps
a metre apart.
“When your spouse dies, you are widow or widower, when your parents
die, you are an orphan,” he said. “But when your child dies, there is no
word for it. It is just too awful.”

They were thinking
On World Thinking Day Feb. 22, local Pathfinders,
Guides, Brownies and Sparks gathered at the
Alliance Church for activities icluding singing the
song I Can Make a Difference and making a craft out
of beads and origami designs.
Dougie Edwards, District Commissioner of the
Starlight District, Girl Guides of Canada, said they
have 89 girls from Morinville and Gibbons and hope
to expand to Legal, Redwater and Smoky Lake.
World Thinking Day was started in 1926. The
annual date of Feb.22 was chosen as the date
because it was the birthday of both Lord BadenPowell, founder of the Boy Scout Movement.

Column: Joe Morinville
The “boss” told me to keep it short this week on account of there being
a lot of important news he needed to put in the paper. I reminded him my
news is important because it’s the stuff people need to know about even if
they already know about it.
Paying with your selfie
I was pretty sure the world had gone nuts about the time they stopped
making music I could understand, but now I’m sure we’ve gone over the
edge in a barrel when I seen on TV that starting this summer people will
pay with their MasterCard by taking a selfie. I guess the way it works is
you take a picture every time you pay and compare it to the picture of the
one you took when you signed up for your card. I guess we’ve got to the
point where no one can compare signatures anymore.
World needs less picture takers
Speaking of people busy taking pictures with their cell phones, the
world needs less of them and more of this young fellow in Edmonton what
slammed his truck into park and jumped on that guy what had that police
officer in a headlock. There ain’t too much that gets me choked up on the
news, but when we hear so much not too nice things about the cops, it
sure is nice to see someone step in and do the right thing. Now I don’t
expect everyone to risk getting hurt like the young guy in Edmonton did
last week to help that officer, but it sure would be nice if the rest of the
idiots used their phones to call for help instead of filming a police officer in
need of help. Not sure what’s wrong with people today.

Photo with a fish - part two
Seem to have a theme with picture taking this week. Last week I told
you about a bunch of idiots what killed a poor dolphin because a whole
bunch of them paraded it around a beach out of the water taking photos
with it. Read last week that a guy in Florida drug a little shark out of the
water and onto the beach so he could take a video of it for the Facebook. I
wish that shark from Jaws had come up and drug him into the water. Now
that’d be a video I’d love to see on the Facebook.
Facebook’s too confusing now
Speaking of Facebook, I went on there last week and when I went to
click on the little thumb’s up button they had a whole bunch of other stuff
like crying faces, and one what looked like a guy was holding his breath. I
think we’re going back to Egyptian and maybe even cavemen times if we
can’t talk to one another except in pictures (See, I do have a theme this
week).
Then they got these things now that’s got a button in the middle what
says GIF. When you click on it, it’ll show you a guy falling down the steps
over and over and over again, or a guy getting hit in the face with a shovel
over and over and over again. They don’t have a new hieroglyphic picture
on the Facebook yet for what I think of that nonsense.
RIP, Premier Getty
Premier Getty died Friday at the age of 82. I’m old enough to remember
his career in politics in this province, and no matter what he accomplished
as a politician, the fact his child said he couldn’t have had a better father is
about the best thing any man could have said about him when he’s gone.

Town and Division meet
on school site issue
Current Site
The Minister has
committed to bringing in
the Administrative side
to sit down and look at
the concerns the school
division and their design
team have with the site.
SSD Superintendent
Dr. Michele Dick and
the Board had several
conversations with their
Education Manager in
capital planning. Dick said
the Assistant Deputy Minister of Education and Assistant Deputy Minister of
Infrastructure would meet with her and the Minister Feb. 25 to have further
discussions about the next steps and moving forward.
by Lucie Roy
Morinville News Correspondent
Morinville Town Council and Sturgeon School
Division (SSD) Board members held a joint
meeting in Morinville Council Chambers Feb.
23. A handful of Morinville Public School parents
attended to listen to the conversations taking place
about the future of a promised 5-9 middle school for the community.
The next step for both SSD and the Town is to wait for the response
from a meeting between the Deputy Ministers of Education, Infrastructure
and Transportation regarding the suitability of the current school site
located behind the Ray McDonald Sports Center. Once it is received, both
the Town and SSD will talk about the entire process.
At issue is whether access will be on 104 Street, 107 Street or whether
the site is suitable for a school at all. There is concern fronting the school
on 107 Street would trigger a roundabout at the Shell intersection, which is
estimated to cost $4 million plus the cost of buying right-of-way on the four
properties at the intersection.
“Once the information is gathered from Alberta Transportation about
107 Street and potential roundabout, and perhaps widening of another
road (107) and buying out the businesses, we will get a very good idea of
the cost," said Councillor Gord Putnam during the meeting. Putnam added
administration would do what they can to get an answer back as quick as
possible.
Morinville Public School Site
Dr. Dick said she has already started a Student Accommodations Study
to understand where students might be placed for the 2017-2018 school
year. The study is to be presented to the Board for their consideration
and direction by the end of June to allow adequate time to have some
consultations with parents. Dick said she is feeling "really good" about the
school year 2016-2017; it is the school year 2017-2018 that is a concern.
Morinville's Interim CAO Andy Isbister said 2017-2018 school year from
his recollection from the Minister was that the Minister will make sure there
are 12 modulars available for SSD somewhere in Morinville. "We will make
sure we will have a site available for them," Isbister said. “I will ensure
we will find a suitable site to locate 10-12 portables so that kids are not
bussed out of Morinville. We will work with SSD and Administration over
the next one or two months to ensure that a site is suitable to place those
twelve portables so that when you get to June 30 and [are] looking at
your Accommodation plan for September 1, 2017, that you know that all
arrangements are in place.”
Councillor Stephen Dafoe, addressing parental concerns that temporary
modulars could lead to being a permanent school, emphasized that the
modulars were temporary, and reiterated Minister Eggen's vow that funding
was still there for the middle school and that it would be built. “There will
be a school," Dafoe said.
A meeting has been scheduled for April 6 at 4 p.m. to be hosted by SSD.
The consensus among Council and the SSD Board was to hold all future
joint meetings in front of the public.
Recap of Minister’s Meeting
In recapping the Feb. 17 meeting with Education Minister David Eggen,
SSD Chair Tracy Nowak said the Minister was very clear that the new
school must get built as quickly as possible and must be in the right place.
"So I thought it was very good and assuring that, despite stumbling blocks
and delays, the funding is not to be pulled,” Nowak said.
Mayor Lisa Holmes said one of the takeaways from the meeting was
that many of the triggers on the current school site deal with other
departments. "To bring these other departments to deal with these
questions I think was progress and outlining what will happen because we
did not have Alberta Transportation at the table to continue discussions,"
the mayor said. "The decisions are out of our hands."

Council briefs
already partnered with Rotary.
Town Council has also unanimously moved to sponsor the Albert Dutka
Memorial Slo-Pitch Tournament at $600 following a unanimous motion from
Deputy Mayor Ladouceur, under the Council sponsorship budget.

Council requests meeting between
both school boards in the fall
Council unanimously approved a motion from Councillor Nicole
Boutestein to hold a meeting between the Town and both school boards in
Morinville in late September. Boutestein hopes these meetings will become
annual and will facilitate better relationships between the partners.
Morinville Town Council had a light agenda at their Feb. 23 meeting,
passing through the evening’s business in 45 minutes.
Council gets info on $4,426.66 in funding
Council unanimously accepted a report for information from Town
Administration about the doling out of Town money for community grant
supported projects.
The awards totalled $4,426.66 between both FCSS and Community
grants, with FCSS programs being 80 per cent funding from the province.
These applications included $2,477.66 to the St. Albert Bereavement
Fellowship, which has a Morinville chairperson and serves Morinville
residents. This program was funded through FCSS as it would not be
possible to fund them under the community grant requirements, which
state that funded event must be in Morinville.
The Town also approved $1,950 sponsorship of the Legion’s Father’s
Day Fishing Derby and Senior Fun Evening, which is anticipated to have
approximately 100 participants.
Council agreed with Administration on declining to fund Big Brothers /
Big Sisters with a $2,500 requested grant after it was identified they had
Council passes Land Use Bylaw
Following a brief public hearing, Council unanimously passed Second and
Third Reading of Land Use Bylaw 28/2015. The Bylaw allows construction
of a duplex on property along 103 Street near 102 Avenue consistent with
the Coeur de Morinville Area Structure Plan.
There was general support for the development from adjoining property
owners, but an expression of concern from the Legion to make sure
parking was on site. The development requires two on property parking
spots per unit.
Deputy Mayor Rob Ladouceur and Councillor Gord Putnam could not vote
on the Bylaw due to them both having a financial stake in properties near
the proposed development. The rest of Council had unanimous support and
passed the motions after a public hearing that only had a statement from
the applicant.

Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Academy
new name for Morinville school
by Lucie Roy
Morinville News Correspondent
Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools (GSACRD) named two of their
new schools at the Board of Trustees Regular Meeting held Feb. 22. In a
unanimous vote, St. Kateri Tekakwitha Academy was selected for Morinville
and Sister Alphonse Academy for their new school in St. Albert.
St. Kateri lived from 1656-1680, was canonized to sainthood in 2012,
and is the first Native American to be canonized by the Church. The top
three recommendations for the Morinville school were Pope Francis School,
St. John the Baptist School and St. Kateri Tekakwitha.
The top three recommendations for the St. Albert School also included
Pope Francis School, followed by Sister Alphonse and St. Andre School.
Sister Alphonse was a Sister of Charity of Montreal (Grey Nun) and the first
teacher at the St. Albert Mission. She accompanied the Oblates in tending
to the needs of the first community.
“Both individuals are inspiring leaders and outstanding models
and witnesses to the Catholic faith,” said Board Chair Noreen
Radford.”Recognizing both of our schools as Academies will ensure that our
District will offer unique programming for students that will inspire them to
model the namesake of their schools in being their very best.”
Naming committees met On Jan. 28 and Feb. 2 to engage in a process
that would bring three recommendations for each of the two newlyawarded schools to the Board. On Feb. 2 meeting was dedicated to finding
names for the new Morinville School.
The names recommended within the list had been approved by
Archbishop Richard Smith, Archbishop to St. Albert School and Archbishop
Paul Terrio to the Morinville Ward and Legal Schools.
The new school is to be built in the Westwinds area of Morinville, north
of No Frills. No date has been set for construction to begin.
Conveniently located in Morinville, MCHS offers a full
complement of courses for students in a unique, inclusive
and flexible learning environment.

Youth light the night for Scouting founder
It was an evening of flaming torches and a roaring campfire as
approximately 60 local scouts and guides took to the Morinville Fish and
Game Association pond trail Feb. 24 in honour of Lord Baden-Powell, the
founder of the scouting movement. Members of 1st Morinville Scouting
joined with Morinville and District Girl Guides for a torchlight parade and
campfire session.
Lord Robert Baden-Powell, who’s birthday was Feb. 22, was the founder
of the Scouting movement and a lieutenant-general in the British Army,
serving in India and Africa from 1876 until 1910. It is believed the scouting
founder started the movement in 1907 while on a camping trip with some
local youth.
The annual torchlight parade recreates Baden-Powell’s Scouting
traditions around the campfire with each of the visiting and local groups
offering a song, a cheer and skit as their turn came around the circle.
The torch light parade is an annual event that is an opportunity for
members to look back to the beginnings of the organization and to
continue the organization’s tradition of teaching young people about
teamwork, camaraderie, and respect for others.
Information on scouting can be found online at Scouts.ca and https://
www.girlguides.ca/web.

Blue, white
and pink flags
will soon be
flying over
municipalities
in Alberta as
communities
raise the
FrancoAlbertan flag
in honour of Rendez-vous de la Francophonie
(RVF), running Mar. 3 to 23. This year’s theme
is La Francophonie en 3D : Diversité, Dualité,
Dynamisme!
Morinville will raise the flag at noon Mar. 4 in
St. Jean Baptiste Park.
Jean-Pierre Grenier created the FrancoAlbertan flag as an entry in a Francophone Youth
of Alberta contest. In March of 1982, FrenchCanadian Association of Alberta adopted the
design.
The flag has a fleur-de-lys in the upper left
corner and a wild rose, the provincial flower
of Alberta, in the lower right. The field of
blue represents the province while the white
represents the Francophone. The blue and white
stripes represent the waters and roads travelled
throughout Alberta by Francophone explorers,
settlers and colonists.
The provincial flag raising is part of the launch
of the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie, an
initiative of the Canadian Foundation for CrossCultural Dialogue, a group which promotes and
supports dialogue between the Francophone and
Acadian, and all other communities in Canada.
But the flag raising is the start to a day of
community activities that celebrate Francophone
culture and heritage.
The flag raising will be followed by school
presentations at the Morinville Community
Cultural Centre from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m., and
static displays from noon until 9 p.m.
Once again this year, the Town of Morinville
will be hosting a Francophone celebration in the
evening at the cultural centre.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and a supper of
poutine and salad will be served from 6 p.m. to 7
p.m.
Entertainment by Le Fuzz and Dance, a
multilingual world beat folk band from Edmonton,
will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Town of
Morinville, Morinville Historical and Cultural
Society, The Vol. 4 History Committee, Alberta
Foundation for the Arts, and the Centralta Region
of the ACFA.
More than 9.5 million Canadians speak French,
including 538,000 in Alberta. French is the first
language of 67,000 Albertans.

MCHS Coffee House mixes
talent with charitable giving
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
The Morinville Community Cultural Centre will be the venue for this
years Morinville Community High School (MCHS) Coffee House. The event
takes place Wednesday, Mar. 16 at 7 p.m., and the public is welcome to
attend to see a variety of local high school talent.
“The Coffee House is to show different talents of our students, and it
ranges anywhere from singing, playing an instrument, dancing, poetry
reading, and writing their own poems,” said MCHS music teacher and
organizer Corinna Cormier, adding that in addition to showcasing raw
talent, the event raises funds for charity. “The whole idea idea is to
promote our students and their talent, and then raise money for charity.”
This year’s charity is the Annual Hair Massacure in support of the
Stollery Children’s Hospital and Make a Wish Foundation, Northern Alberta.
The charitable giving is a continuation of work done during last week’s
head shaving.
Last year the Coffee House donated to the Greater St. Albert Catholic
Schools initiative to raise $250,000 to build a school in the Philippines.
One of the performers in this year’s show is Grade 12 student Marina
Casavant, who will be offering some slam poetry.
“It’s directed at American politics, and kind of how America is becoming
especially integrated with their politics, how they’re viewing it, and how
messed up it is,” Casavant said of her original composition. “It kind of
smashes Donald Trump.”
For Casavant, the appeal of slam poetry is the ability to put a literary
and performance spin on subjects she is passionate about. “It’ not
necessarily always about the imagery, although that’s a big part,” she said.
“It’s really about the passion and how you deliver it. That’s what I enjoy.”
Fellow Grade 12 student Leith Hutton will also be offering some poetry
at the show in a poetic duet with Liz Turner. The poem they will perform is
When Love Arrives by Sarah Kay and Phil Kaye.
“Very much in the same vein as Marina, I’m doing poetry because it
really speaks to me, almost more than music does,” Hutton said. “Music is
far more set in the beats and how music is constructed, whereas poetry,
especially spoken word, free verse or slam poetry, is so freeing.”
Cormier said the MCHS Coffee House will also include a variety music
acts ranging from guitar to ukulele as well as a drum solo. Although there
are no dance numbers in this year’s show, there will also be a music
ensemble performing ahead of the Rotary Music Festival.
The Coffee House always attracts students and parents, but Cormier
said the general public is welcome to attend.
“We’re hoping to get more people,” she said. “In years past, we’ve had
quite a few, large numbers filling up the gym. The last couple years it’s
been a little bit slimmer in numbers. We’re trying to promote it more this
year.”
The show will run approximately two hours in length from 7 p.m. to 9
p.m. As in previous years; admission is $10 in advance or $15 at the door.
For that admission price, attendees receive coffee and dessert along with
the variety of talent. Tickets are available at the MCHS office or at the door
on show night. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Above: MCHS student Leith Hutton, music teacher Corinna Cormier, and student Marina
Casavant pose in the library after talking about the upcoming MCHS Coffee House talent show
fundraiser.

CJHL playoffs over for Morinville Jets
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
It was all or nothing for the Morinville Jets Wednesday night.
Down two games in a best-of-five series with the North Edmonton
Red Wings, the Jets fell 5-3 to give the series to the Wings in three
straight.
The Jets opened on a high note during Wednesday night's road
game with a 2-0 lead at the end of the first. But the club found

old domestic shorthair. She came
into our clinic with a severely

was beyond repair and had to be

has been spayed, microchipped,
tattooed, vaccinated, and

themselves evenly tied 2-2 at the end of two.
The third period was a back and forth affair with the Wings pulling
ahead to 3-2 in the opening minutes of the final frame, and the Jets
tying it up at three apiece just ahead of the halfway mark.
A minute later the Wings pulled ahead to 4-3 and added another
to the board with five minutes left in the game. With just over three
minutes left in the contest, the Red Wings doubled the gap with a
power-play goal and capped it with their seventh with just four seconds
left on the clock.
The North Edmonton Red Wings will now move on to the semi-finals.

Town Reminders
Trail/Road Conditions
The Town of Morinville is asking residents to
use caution whether walking or driving over the
coming weeks. Fluctuating temperatures can
create slick conditions. Where trails/roads are
shaded and no sun has penetrated to remove the
frozen surface, gravel and salt has been placed to
make walking/driving conditions safer. Conditions
are being monitored daily.
........................................................................................................
Community Programs
Looking for programs, courses, groups or other
things to do in Morinville? Check out the Morinville
Winter Community Guide at www.morinville.ca
........................................................................................................
Storm Water Ponds
The Town of Morinville would like to remind
residents not to fish/skate on storm water ponds
due to recent warm temperatures. With the
warm temperatures and melting we have been
experiencing recently, Public Works staff have had
to pump the storm water ponds down in order to
leave room for all of the extra water that is filling
them. This is leaving a hollow between the ice and
the water which can therefore take less weight
than ice that is directly supported.
........................................................................................................

1, with the online phase available through to May

Choosing a High-Quality Protein
Having trouble eating the daily
recommendation of seven to ten
servings of fruits and vegetables? Try
a Greens supplement in capsule or
powder form. Great in smoothies.

You probably know one or two people who are
very enthusiastic about the protein shake they
are using or the protein meal supplement they
have just ordered. Many people think of it as the
“healthy” fast food. With so many choices and
so many high-pressure sales people online it is
sometimes hard to separate the powders that
are healthy from the ones that are anything but.
You need to remember that a lot of these very
enthusiastic people are themselves part of the
multi-level marketing program (what we used to
call pyramid scheme).
At Neighbors Vitamin Shop / Morinville Health
Foods, we also sell protein powders and meal
replacement powders from a few trusted brands.
We have whey protein, hemp, rice, some vegan
formula proteins and several meal replacement
formulas, and several weight loss formulas.
So what makes our line of products different?
Quality.
Whey protein is considered the best because
it is a complete protein, containing all nine of
the amino acids necessary for human dietary
needs. The very best whey protein comes from
New Zealand. The New Zealand Dairy Industry
is perhaps the most advanced dairy producer
in the world, and this is reflected in their very
high standards for product safety, environmental
sustainability, and humane treatment of
livestock.
One of the reasons for this high regard is that
New Zealand dairies are held to some of the
most stringent standards in the world. In New
Zealand, the Dairy and Plant Products Group
(a division of the Ministry of Agriculture and
Forestry-MAF) provides assurance to consumers,
both domestic and international, that New
Zealand's dairy products are safe and true to
label. And, the government mandates that
all dairy products must be free of antibiotics,
chemical residues and hormones (rBST is
illegal in New Zealand). Grazing practices,
the treatment of cattle, collection and storage
methods, and processing all affect the quality
of whey protein. When choosing a whey protein

supplement, it is important to keep these points
in mind.
Pasture-fed cattle are exposed to a wide
variety of soil-based pathogens, which means
they will naturally develop more antibodies.
Healthy green grass also provides Vitamins,
Minerals, and beneficial enzymes (aiding in its
assimilation). Intensively managed, year-round
pastures in New Zealand furnish nearly 100% of
herd feed requirements, so the cows need little
or no supplemental grain. In New Zealand-style
grazing systems, the animals are frequently
rotated to fresh, small pastures and produce
more milk per acre.
It is important to preserve the integrity of
the nutrients in the whey during processing.
Instead of using destructive chemicals, lowtemperature cross-flow microfiltration (CFM) uses
filters to separate protein from undesirable fat,
cholesterol and lactose, based on molecular size
and shape. The low-temperature process isolates
the native protein of whey at its biologically
natural pH, carefully preserving its biological
activity. Glycomacropeptide's and other immuneboosting components remain intact. Whereas
ion exchange keeps only some of the whey's
biologically active components, CFM sustains a
more complete protein profile-one of optimal
balance, as found naturally in whey. There are no
denatured proteins, a superior amino acid profile,
and more calcium and less sodium.
Not everyone can tolerate dairy proteins,
lactose or casein, for these people a vegan
protein formula is available. Again purity,
digestibility, and nutrition are important. The
best vegan proteins contain all 9 of the essential
amino acids; this is usually accomplished by
blending different types of plant proteins. The
second most important point to look for in vegan
protein powders is what they DO NOT contain.
They should not contain artificial colors,
artificial sweeteners, artificial flavors,
preservatives, dairy, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy,
egg, fish, shellfish, animal products, peanut
products, tree nuts, GMOs, heavy metals or trace
chemicals associated with pesticides, herbicides,
or fertilizers.
We only consider protein powders to be
“healthy” when they meet these criteria. Protein
shakes and meal replacements can be a quick
fix for a snack or even a light meal, but they
do not take the place of real food. They are
an important supplement for body builders
and athletes providing the nutrients to repair
and replenish muscle mass. They may also be
an important addition to the diet of someone
needing a nutrient boost such as children who
are poor eaters, seniors who have trouble
digesting meats and individuals convalescing
from serious illness.

Shaving heads for a cause
Morinville Community High School finished up the Annual Hair Massacure with the head
shaving of a few faculty members and students Thursday. Several students had their hair pinked
and shaved by Louise Caron or Amanda Bulger. Principal Todd Eistetter (top left) had his facial
hair shaved off by Kali MacDonald and Neil Korotash (top right) had his hair shaved off by the
highest bidder. Eistetter said the school’s Coffee House in March will raise funds for the cause.
