If the home’s smoke alarm worked, Domino’s gave the home owner their food for free.

Absent Sheri Crowston —10 year and now retired Marlene Therres — 35 years. See Page 12 for more award recipients - Lucie Roy Photo 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.” MorinvilleNews.com 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. For more information, contact [email protected]. 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.

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. C. White Cardiff, Alberta MorinvilleNews.com Morinville News - Editorial Pages 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.

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. - Lucie Roy Photo MorinvilleNews.com Crouse in the house St. Albert Mayor and Capital Region Board Chair Nolan Crouse was the guest speaker at the Morinville & District Chamber of Commerce October luncheon.

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.
