Where there’s smoke,
there’s pizza?
Fire Chief Brad Boddez accepts some pizzas from Domino’s
employee Cassandra Ratcliffe. The Department partnered
with the local business Thursday night, following delivery
drivers to homes. If the home’s smoke alarm worked,
Domino’s gave the home owner their food for free.

District presents their long-service awards
by Lucie Roy
Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools held their
Long Service Awards at the Morinville Community
Cultural Centre Thursday night. Ninety-six awards
were given out for service ranging from five to 35
years.
Board Chair Noreen Radford gave the welcome
and Assistant Superintendent Sean McGuinness
served as Master of Ceremonies for the event.
Twenty-four employees received 15-year
awards, the largest category, followed by 22 receiving the 10-year recognition.
Three of the five 35-year awards were presented to École Notre Dame. Teacher Cyril Binette, Librarian Lena Bourgeois and (in absentia) Marlene
Therres all received the honour.
“I have had the pleasure of educating and
meeting the needs of a multitude of students with
diverse learning needs while at the same time
having the opportunity to make new friends and
colleagues,” wrote Cyril Binette in a prepared
statement, read by emcee McGuiness. “I have always believed that to be a good teacher you must
have compassion for students, unlimited patience
and understanding, a strong sense of humour and
a keen desire to do your best to meet the needs
of everyone around you.”
Binette was hired 35 years ago by Ray Pinco to
teach Grade Six at Father Jan. Shortly after the
interview he asked if he had the spare time as
they were working on something in the gym. Binette said yes and the next thing he knew he was
Page 2
| October 14, 2015
busy making plastic flowers and stapling them
onto the Father Jan float. Pinco, with his passion
for history, later became known as one of St. Albert’s well-known historians.
Binette said he also had the pleasure of teaching with Marie Poburan, who he described as a
feisty French Canadian woman. “You could tell she
loved kids, giving many a hug as she walked down
the hallway,” he said. “When I was teaching at
VJM, a retired Vincent J. Maloney walked through
the door, in his early seventies by this time. He
felt he just had to join us; he apologized for interrupting the staff meeting as he just wanted to
tell us what a valuable service we were providing
to the students and community of St. Albert. His
encouragement and kind words meant a lot to all
of us.”
Binette went on to recall many colleagues over
the years, namesakes, who had positively influenced his teaching career and style.
“Their passion for teaching and the value they
placed on teachers and teaching in our school
community was second to none,” he said. “I have
been fortunate to have always been surrounded
by well-educated, enthusiastic and thoughtful
colleagues who were always willing to share freely
their many talents. I have truly been blessed to
be able to teach for such a great School Division
for all these years. After having mentored many
student teachers and having worked with such dynamic colleagues, I have seen the enthusiasm and
energy we all have for teaching. I only hope that I
have been somewhat of a positive mentor for you
as I was taught by the best.”
École Notre Dame librarian Lena Bourgeois
said it was an honour to receive a 35-year service
award from the district.
“My entire thirty years are with École Notre
Dame as a Library Technician,” she said. “I enjoy
watching the children grow, and it is awesome to
see their faces when kids read for the first time.
That never gets old.”
Bourgeois said the school library had changed
over the years, evolving from a paper system to a
fully automated computer system. “When students first started to sign out library books they
printed their name on a card,” she recalled. “When
the book was returned, the card was inserted into
a pocket pasted on a book. I told a little student
one time to put the card into his pocket, and he
literally began to put the card into his back pocket. Today we teach the students how to use a
mouse in the library.”
Another of the long-standing librarians memories were the merging of the Notre Dame and
Vanier libraries and her fond memories of Christmas at the school.
“It is a special time where the halls are decorated, and concerts are the best where all students shine,” she said. “No one does it better.
Also, I enjoy singing at the beginning and closing
Masses with those special singing friends. Notre Dame is a second family to me; we support
each other, and I look forward to making more
good memories with my colleagues in the coming
years.”

Block Parent program
will continue in Morinville
by Morinville News Staff
After announcing a month ago that the Block Parent program would discontinue in Morinville if a new board did not step forward, the association
has received an injection of new blood.
At a meeting held at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre Oct. 5,
13 residents came out to support the continuation of the organization locally. Past Chair Tanya Sloan said none of those in attendance were current
members.
From the 13 in attendance, a new board was appointed. Raina Hooper
becomes the association’s new chair. Vicky Moser will serve as Vice Chair.
Jennifer Berry takes on the role of treasurer and Christa Sabel will be the
group’s secretary. In addition to the four taking office, another four of
those in attendance have agreed to serve the board as members at large,
expanding the board to eight.
The new board is encouraging anyone interested in becoming a Block
Parent home to contact the Association for further information.
Applications can be sent out via email, fax or picked up in person (with
arrangements).
The board is anticipating a short transition time as they take the necessary steps to become Block Parent homes.
The previous Board expressed their thanks to everyone who came out to
the Oct. 5 meeting.

Farmers’ Market heading indoors for winter
by Morinville News Staff
The outdoor market may have come to a close
at the end of September, but those looking to get
their weekly fix of local products and produce can
do so starting this Friday. The Morinville Festival
Society will take their weekly Farmers’ Market
indoors for the third season starting Oct. 16.
“We have a number of vendors lined up to
start the inside season,” said Farmers’ Market
Manager and Morinville Festival Society President
Korien Sampson.
Along with the new venue inside the Ray
McDonald Sports Center, the market will also
roll out new hours. “The hours will be 4 p.m. to
7 p.m. to accomodate traffic and people who
work,” Sampson said. “We go every single Friday with the exception of Nov. 27 because of
the Christmas Festival, and we take a two week
break at Christmas and New Year’s. Then we’re
right back at it until June.”
Sampson said the limited space inside the
arena common area limits the number of vendors
the winter market can accomodate, but She is
anticipating a good variety of vendors to serve
those attending the weekly market.
“It looks like we are going to be packing it in
as best as we can,” she said. “It’s going to be a
little squishy, but we’ll make it work.”
Sampson said she is working with a local
produce supplier to have them attend the market every other week to provide shoppers with
fresh vegtables. “They started coming last year,
but there wasn’t enough people buying,” she
said. “They weren’t making enough money to be
financially sustainable to come out. I’m hoping to
convice them to come out every other week.”
But the Market Manager is also hoping to encourage residents to come out as well.
“The best thing to do is to support our local
farmers, especially with this bad agricultural
year,” Sampson said.

Letter: Morinville Youth
Justice Committee closes
Well, after 15 years of participating on, and final
running The Morinville Youth Justice Committee
(MYJC), it’s proverbial door finally closed on Oct 5,
2015, by this writer Mr. Mike Cue. The MYJC started up, with much fanfare, in the Morinville Town
Council, in September of 2000, with approximately
14 volunteers (and this writer) in attendance. Now
after 15 years, with the constant loss of volunteers
and the lack of new Morinville volunteers stepping
forward to replace our losses, we can no longer
continue (as we were down to our last 3 volunteers), and two of these volunteers just quit on Oct.
4, 2015 (due to physical infirmity, and no else in
Morinville stepping forward to replace our losses).
The MYJC was (and is) designed as Alternative
Sentencing for Young Offenders (YOs), to basically
give them a second chance (as how many of us as
youth, made ‘mistakes’ as we learned to become
adults). Basically, after hearing the case the MYJC
would decide upon an appropriate sanction (from 1
to 3), and the YO would have three months to com-
plete said sanctions. When successful the YO would
be given a new slate on life and not have a criminal
record.
Unfortunately, after seeing about 130 YOs
over 15+ years, the MYJC’s final success rate was
approximately 77 per cent (about 97 successful cases). These successful YOs went on to lead
productive lives, contributing to our great Canadian
society while doing so. So in melancholy thought it
is my sadness to say that Morinville has lost a vital
Committee, that directly and positively affected the
youth of our community. For future Youth Justice
Services, Morinville Youth will probably have to deal
with St. Albert Probations.
In summation, Morinville, thank you for allowing
me (and others) to be on this Committee, and I just
wish it did not have to close its respective doors
due to a lack of new volunteer participation.
Sincerely,
Mr. Mike Cue
Letter: Cardiff Road speed dangerous
I am at a loss with regard the imminent risks
that many drivers pose on Cardiff Road due to their
refusal to slow down. I reside right on this rural
busy road, and while the speed limit solar signs are
obvious, they are largely ignored. Rush hour times
are that of the noise and speeds of a highway with
commercial vehicles and commuters clearly off the
speed limit, endangering every resident and their
families, with blatant disregard.
These signs do little to slow down the offenders, the speed traps at South Glens where a fence
governs these homes, is a lazy and ineffective area,
but only serves to collect money from those easy
money speeders, but speed has very few risks to
the citizens there. The hired monitors that sit in
those cars lurking through their big cameras are a
joke. I drove by one day to see a woman sleeping
on her speed watch duty. Had I turned around and
taken a picture of her, we would again prove how
useless this area is to promote safe speeds, let
alone this location.
Further east on this road just after Cardiff
Echoes is the problem, and it is an epidemic with no
solutions in sight, but the obvious - a photo radar
camera. Commercial trucks, including school buses
and passenger vehicles, clearly are 20-30 plus
kilometres over the posted limit, potentially upping
the ante for a fatal accident involving many of the
residents of this pleasant community that walk with
their young families or bike ride on this narrow
road. The few and far between photo radar set-ups
yield results, but seemingly only deter for the event
and then resume to dangerous speeds.
Residents of this community and those of us directly on this road agree, that this is out of control,
has been for years and since the road is paved its
ways to Highway 28, this is now more than ever
a commuter route with undue care and attention
regularly over the posted limit. I would like to ask
drivers with this blatant disregard for our safety,
how they would respond to us flying down their residential toad at the rate of speed that they do ours?
The old adage, "treat people how you'd like to be
treated" comes to mind.
Although unlikely to change the ignorance and
habits of these law breaking hazardous drivers,
resident scan be pro-active and record drivers on
your phones and cameras while they zoom past
your house and that of your neighbours. Although
this is not admissible, I tried this one day to see
more brake lights pushed and speeds reduced,
even though there was nothing I could do with this
footage. Repeat offenders can still be brought to the
attention of the RCMP.
Cardiff Road is a road of shame to those of you
who put innocent families at risk due to your negligence. Speed kill; the pocket book hurts, simple as
that. It's only matter of time until the front page
of the papers will report a fatality, but hopefully
prior to that consequence, it's only a matter of time
when we have an active camera and the speeding
tickets in the mail.

Letter: Morinville
needs a Youth Council
Dear Editor:
I read with interest the editorial about the proposed Youth Council Bylaw. I think that if youth had more of a voice they would feel more welcome, accepted and valued by their Mayor and Council. If youth thought
that their local government cared about their problems and concerns, they
would be more inclined to take pride in their community. Goodwill creates
reciprocal goodwill. Youth that are involved and feel valued by their community are less inclined to participate in petty crime such as vandalism.
I agree with the writer that several comments by Mayor and Councillors
were stupefyingly absurd. It makes me wonder if they are afraid to give
youth a voice, and if so, why?
Remember, youth will grow up to be our future leaders, let's give them
the opportunity to learn and grow towards effective leadership.

Meet Widget & Fidget, Morinville
Vet Clinic’s newest adoptees. They
are 10-week-old domestic shorthair
sisters. You would be amazed at the
difference in them from when they
first came into us and now. They
were very feral when they came to us
as strays, but after a lot of patience
and even more cuddles, they have
come around. They adore being petted
and will purr as soon as you start.
They have a lot of love to give to the
right person/family. They have been
spayed, microchipped, dewormed,
and vaccinated. If you are interested
in meeting one or both of the sisters,
please come down to the Morinville
Vet Clinic, or call 780-939-3133.

Lock Boxes available
Morinville Fire Department Captain Steve Hammond made a presentation to the
Chamber on the Lock Box System, which allows the fire department to quickly and
safely enter a propery in an emergency response. Hammond said the Morinville
Fire Department has initiated the use of the MIWA High Security Key Box System.
The MIWA magnetic cam lock key is registered with the Fire Department with an
assigned code right from the factory. With the restricted design of the cam lock key
it is not possible for it to be decoded or for a duplicate to be made. Businesses and
building owners can purchase the key boxes from the Fire Department, who will
coordinate the installation of the lock box with a certified installer. Hammond said
the High Security Key Box System is also used by departments, including the City of
Lethbridge, Camrose and Spruce Grove.

Former County resident up for
four country music awards
by Stephen Dafoe
It has been a few years
since former Cardiff Echoes
resident Danielle Marie sat on
a stool playing guitar during
a talent show at a Morinville
coffee shop. Four years later
and the country singer is an
up-and-comer with more than
40,000 fans on Reverb Nation,
an album with producer Tom
McKillip under her belt and her
name on four country music
award nominations.
Now living in Vancouver, the
singer/songwriter has been
nominated for the BCCMA
(British Columbia Country Music Association) Awards. She
was nominated for Album of
the Year for Here Right Now,
the Fans Choice, Female Vocalist of the Year, and the Ray
McAuley Horizon Award.
The performer said she is
new to the BCCMA organization but has been welcomed
with open arms. “It’s kind of a
crazy feeling to see my name
next to some of the artists that I’ve been looking up to
for a while now,” she said. “I’m just happy to be nominated. I’m not going to be upset if I don’t win. Just to be
nominated is crazy.”
Danielle Marie said she made it to the third round
of balloting, originally having been nominated for five
awards.
Voting closed Oct. 9 and the winners will be announced
Oct. 25 at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam, BC.
The honour is another notch for her career. Her re-
cently released album Here Right Now hit number 25
on iTunes list of top country albums on the night it was
released.
“Everything has been going really well, and my support system is great,” she said. “Everyone back home in
Morinville has been awesome.”
The singer/songwriter will be back in the area Dec. 5
performing at the Starlight Room in Edmonton.
Tickets are $15 and details can be found on her website at daniellemariemusic.com/site/tour.

Community Gardens
clean up for winter
The Morinville Centennial Community
Gardens (MCCGS) held their Fall Work
Bee Oct. 7 at both community garden
locations: the backyard of the United
Church and Champlain Park (across
from the arena). All plots and raised
beds needed to be cleared out and
many hands made for light work. The MCCGS has more than
25 members, with many of them new to the Society. In the
New Year, the group will discuss plans for Phase Three, to be
located in the north end of Champlain Park.
From top: Willow Newman was one of the younger
volunteers at the Champlain Park work bee held Oct. 7. Rob

Derby doubles on
opening night skate
by Morinville News Staff
The Sturgeon County Junior Roller Derby Association kicked off
their 2015-2016 season with a registration night and opening skate
Oct. 7.
Association President Terri-Ann Waschlik said she was pleased
with the response at their initial skate. “We’re really happy with the
turnout tonight,” she said. “We’ve had quite a few kids show up to
try. We’re probably just over double the amount of kids we had last
year.”
Waschlik went on to say if everyone who tried out Oct. 7 signs
up, the association will have enough for two full teams this year.
The association was pleased to see a number of boys try out at
the open house registration night. The group is open to boys and
girls. Practices are Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Morinville Public School.

the 3rd and 4th place finishers (but 2 minutes behind the first place finisher from Barrhead who looked like — "the roadrunner on speed", he was
...amazing. But a great finish for Graham so give him some love if you see
him.
