Morinville filmmaker produces documentary on Zappacosta
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
Canadian pop
and rock singer Alfie
Zappacosta rose to
fame as the face of
Zappacosta, but after
peeking with his song
Overload appearing
on the Dirty Dancing
soundtrack in 1987,
his relationship with
his career came to a
breaking point.
That story
and Zappacosta’s
subsequent decision
to stay out of the
limelight, redefining
himself as a musician
and father are part of
the journey audiences will take when Long Road
Home premiers at Northwestfest (formerly Global
Visions) in Edmonton in May.
The documentary is co-written and produced
by 22-year-old Morinville resident Braden Rooke
and came about when he was a NAIT student
taking the Digital Media and IT program. Rooke
said his instructor came to him with the idea for
the film when he was in his final semester in December of 2014.
“It ended up going further than school because I graduated in April and
we are just finishing it now,” Rooke said of the project.
The film chronicles the Canadian singer’s life via segments of a twonight concert booking Zappacosta did at Festival Place in February 2015.
“My class filmed it with ten cameras and 16 students. I produced it and
edited it as well,” Rooke said. “We filmed documentary portions as well
as interviews with him. We go through Alfie’s four-decade long career in
the music industry, starting right from the beginning when he moved to
Canada from Italy when he was six months old.”
The film covers Zappacosta’s early life in Toronto,
the early days of his career with Surrender, and his
life as the lead man in Zappacosta.
“This is where he started getting into that rock
and roll lifestyle of the ‘80s — the drinking, the
drugs, all that fun stuff, living the rock star lifestyle
while still trying to maintain a family,” Rooke said,
adding Zappacosta’s career took a turn after the
Dirty Dancing soundtrack. “That kind of pushes him
over the edge to say — ‘Now I can get out of this.’
He never really wanted to be a rock star. His dad
was the minstrel type, and that’s what Alfie wanted
to be. So when Dirty Dancing hit, he started getting
jobs in theatre and moved to Edmonton to reinvent
himself. Now he’s singing the songs that he wants to
sing.”
Long future road
Long Road Home marks Rooke’s first featurelength documentary. He previously made a short
drama film in his third semester at NAIT and is
currently working on a documentary about SpiderMabel with his current employer Leven Creative.
“It’s what I’ve decided to get into after the fact
now,” Rooke says of his long future road. “I was
in MCTV, and it was there that I got the passion.
Not so much for filmmaking there. I got that idea
when I was at NAIT. I was originally thinking radio
television.”
Morinville Community High School teacher Greg
Boutestein had kind words about Rooke’s time with MCTV.
“He did some very good work at MCTV, and always took the initiative,”
Boutestein said. “I remember very distinctively he did a documentary piece
on the St. Jean Baptiste Festival. He had a story teller’s vision early on, and
took on projects that were more than your one-and-a-half minute news
reports.”
The experience with Long Road Home has pushed Rooke further on the
path to focusing on film editing and producing. He is hoping to produce his
own documentary one day.

Morinville Lions Club looking
for their next Citizen of the Year
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
Nominations are open for the Morinville Lions Club’s Citizen
of the Year Award. Residents have until Apr. 2 to nominate their
candidate for the honour.
It’s a tradition started by the Morinville Lions Club in the late
1960s and continues 48 years later with the service club’s desire
to shine a spotlight on those who give of their time and talent to
their community.
The Lions wanted to recognize people in the community who
had gone above and beyond as volunteers. Originally run in
conjunction with Morinville’s Frontier Days, the annual award
eventually became a Lions Club component of the Annual
Volunteer Appreciation Night, which takes place Apr. 15 this
year.
Though the venue has changed, the motivation behind the
award has not. The Lions are still looking for that resident with
special qualifications.
“The Lions Club feels it is extremely important to honour an
outstanding person, couple or family that has made a significant
contribution to our community,” said Morinville Lions Club Vice
President Deborah Robillard. “We recognize these individuals
and need them to know that they are not going unnoticed, that
they should be celebrated for their unselfish acts, and that because of
them, they have helped to change and improve someone’s life.”
The recognition is open to any individual, couple or family who has
made a significant contribution to the community.
Robillard said the ideal candidate, often unsung and unrecognized, has
demonstrated creativity, vision, leadership, and citizenship by providing
service to programs and activities that positively impact the welfare of
people in Morinville.
Nominations should include how long the nominee has been a resident
of Morinville, their group involvement, accomplishments over the past year
and up to ten years, as well as commentary on the nominee’s commitment
Saturday, March 26 Buffet, Bus and Batman
and personal involvement in the community.
If the nominee is not a resident of Morinville, nominators are asked to
include info on whether they have a business in Morinville and if they do
their volunteering in the community.
A committee of three Lions members and the previous Citizen of the
Year judge all nominations, which are kept confidential. If the previous
year’s recipient is a Lions Club member, the Citizen of the Year Committee
select a citizen at large to join them in reviewing the nominees.
Nominations can be sent by mail to The Morinville Lions Club - Box 3150
- Morinville, AB - T8R1S1 or by email to [email protected].
Those with questions about the nomination process can contact Lucie
Roy at [email protected] or phone Francis Fryters at 780-939-3741.

Letter: Red light cameras
This letter is in response to our Page 7 article:
Council puts brakes on red light and stop sign camera discussion
Editor:
Cliff and I would publically like to thank Councillor Barry Turner, who
intercepted Mr. Steer about the wording of the presentation. Having
attended the Committee of the Whole meeting [Mar. 15], specifically to
listen to this presentation, in our opinion it sounded like a sales pitch to
Council on something that had already been decided on. Councillor Turner
made it very clear that there has been no decision in Morinville to apply
this technology.
Secondly, we would like to thank Councillor Stephen Dafoe for making
the motion to table any discussion on this new technology until the Town’s
Photo Enforcement Policy is reviewed, and to the rest of Council for
unanimously agreeing to this motion. As we all know there has been a LOT
of discussion regarding photo radar over the past few years – is it just a
cash cow or is it truly about safety?
A statement in the article has raised a couple of questions and/or
comment that I would like to raise in this letter. “Global Traffic Group
covers all start-up costs and resources. There is no financial risk to the
municipality for the equipment, but the town would have to enter into a
three – to five – year contract with the company.”
My comment – In my mind there is always SOME financial risk of some
sort that is not highlighted or outlined in any presentation but shows up
later when the equipment and program is in place. I have not yet found
anything that is totally free
My questions:
The most concerning thing about this article is the mention of a
requirement to enter into a three – to five-year contract. I do not
remember hearing this verbalized in the presentation, and so I would look
to Council to ask Administration – is this true? Would this be a DIFFERENT
and SEPARATE contract with Global Traffic Group as opposed to the current
one we are in for Photo Radar with Information Technology Services (ITS)?
If it is to become included as part of the photo radar contract would this
not require a major revision? If we have to enter into a new contract would
we go public with a Request for Proposal (RFP)?
Thank you
Linda Lyons and Cliff Haryett

Letters Policy
Column: Joe Morinville
It seems like the people in Morinville are more interested in talking
about what Mr. Trump is doing and saying than what our own politicians
at all levels of government are doing and saying. Suppose that makes
some sense on account of our own politicians not being as colourful as the
American ones, and I’m not talking about Mrs. Clinton’s pantsuits. It’s not
that American politicians are better than ours. But it got me thinking about
what Canadian politicians and citizens are up to.
Not likely to go toughy on Duffy
Senator Mike Duffy’s trial ended last Tuesday after ten months, and the
judge is supposed to decide by the end of April if he’s guilty of any of the
31 charges they got him up on for stuff like bribery and fraud. It sure made
a lot of headlines and news reports when it started, but hardly a word was
said last week when it got wrapped up. His lawyer says the other lawyer
threw 31 charges at him, hoping one would stick. I’m not sure if anything
will stick other than the cost of the trial with the taxpayers of this country.
eMail dinosaur or onto something?
One Canadian politics story that got some attention last week was
when it was learned B.C.’s Finance Minister Mike de Jong don’t do email.
But it got attention for the wrong reason — to make fun of the guy. Them
boneheads what read the news on the different TV shows all made the
same jokes about how they bet he used a rotary dial phone still. And
people in the comment sections made fun of him on account of him
being old fashioned and not with the times. But I think he might be onto
something. He said, “When people are getting four to five hundred emails
a day, when are they working?” It’s a good question, but nobody seemed
to think about that. Instead, the mainstream media all picked on what’s
maybe the one government employee what prefers to get work done
instead of putting work off sending and answering a bunch of emails.
Take me to Timmy’s
Another Canadian news story what got missed by most of the people I
talk to was a young buck who got on a bus in Toronto and made the driver
miss a few stops so he could drop him at Tim Hortons. Now I’ve been
sitting at Timmy’s for my morning gab and seen them wheeling down the
lane on two wheels to sit in the drive-through for 20 minutes. But I’ve
never heard tell of someone so desperate for a jug of java that they pulled
a knife on a bus driver. They arrested the guy right away, and I don’t
know what the judge will give him. But if I were the judge, I’d make the
sentence a double-double.

Town tells thrift store to vacate
by Lucie Roy
Morinville News Correspondent
More than two years later, the
Society finds itself looking for a place.
But as most of the people Midstream
service do not have vehicles and
cannot travel, the Society feels
potential suitable locations will be
limited. "So it has to be someplace
downtown where they can walk to it,"
Preeper said.
Midstream Support Society members Linda Krauskopf and Joyce Preeper
talked to the Morinville Lions Club Mar. 14 on working together to get a
new building for the thrift store they operate in downtown Morinville.
The Society operates the Midstream Thrift Store (9922-101 Street)
Monday to Friday and provides assistance for individuals and families
in need. The Society looks after helping people to pay rent or damage
deposits and has even bought tickets to get workers to Fort McMurray.
Revenues from the Thrift Store assist those needs as well as school lunch
programs, the Annual Santa Store, and Community Christmas Dinner.
With the downturn in the economy, those needs are growing, but the
Society recently learned they will need to relocate.
“We have been advised that we have to leave the building we are in
by the Town,” said Linda Krauskopf, President of the Midstream Support
Society. “So we are going to be looking for grants and looking for
partnerships.”
Krauskopf said she took over as President of the Midstream Support
Society at the beginning of February this year and by the end of the
month learned from David Schaefer, Morinville's Director of Community
and Protective Services that they had to be out by the end of December.
Krauskopf said there is no reason for them to leave, but Schaefer is alleged
to have said: "Oh well, the building might be condemned, so we want you
out."
Joyce Preeper told Lions Club members the society is not sure
exactly where they stand (with the town). There is a meeting with Town
Administration in June to see where things are at, and in the meantime
Midstream is beginning their trail of seeing where, who and how they can
form partnerships for themselves and with those in the same situation.
“I don’t like to wait and see what will happen next," Krauskopf said of
the need to put feelers out. "I like to go out and see who we can connect
with ... instead of waiting until the lease is up - they tell us to move out."
Finding a solution
Krauskopf says she believes Town
Council feels there is value as far as what the Midstream provides to
the community. The Society is hoping the Town can assist in finding a
resolution.
Andrew Isbister, Morinville's Interim CAO, said Midstream offers an
important service to the Community, and that the Town wants to work with
them.
"We want to ensure that it continues to operate in a facility that is
suitable for its operations and safe for staff and volunteers operating
the facility," he said, adding while the Town has not completed a formal
assessment of the building; they do know it is coming to the end of its
serviceable life.
"We do know that the building was designed and built as a residence,
although I understand it did house Alta Gas offices followed by the
ambulance service for a number of years," Isbister said. "Because it is
now being used as a “commercial” operation, we are aware of a number
of safety codes deficiencies. In addition, the building itself (which we
understand was built in the 1940s) is now nearing the end of its useful life
and was originally offered to Midstream as a temporary facility.”
Isbister confirmed a follow-up meeting would take place in two months
"to discuss their future needs and to develop a future plan to deal with the
facility."
Although that might require Midstream vacating the current site, he
committed to assisting them in finding a new location.
"Should Midstream be required to move — we have not indicated a hard
date for them to vacate the current building — but [we] will work with
them to find a suitable location that meets their needs," Isbister said.
David Schaefer did not reply to a request for comment by our press
deadline Friday.
Longtime situation
Preeper said former Mayor Paul Krauskopf was going to sign the lease
papers with the Society for the building in 2013, but passed away a few
days after they had the paperwork ready for him. Preeper said they met
with the Town Manager right after, and she said she was going to look after
it, even suggesting a couple of places she thought they might want to go.

Council puts brakes on red light
and stop sign camera discussion
Steer went on to speak to Council about intersection safety, including
stop signs and red light violations. The company have their own software
and technology to be able to provide the red light cameras, typically valued
at $100,000 each, to the town at no cost as mobile technology.
Steer said a box situated on the side of the road monitors violations
and transfers the information to a peace officer who views the video.
The government has given Global approval to post the violation video
to a secure Internet site. The violator is provided a password to log into
their page only and can view the video which shows clearly the violation
occurring as opposed to photos in which the vehicles appears to be
stopped.
Within three business days, tickets are in the mail and subsequent
violations in the same week are given a warning.
Steer indicated camera methods are safer than stopping people
manually and pulling them over. The idea is to give people the opportunity
to improve their driving behaviour. The unit is mobile, so it wouldn’t always
be in the same place.
Steer said the rollout of the program features one month of advertising
to motorists, one month of warning tickets, and then ticketing will begin.
Global Traffic Group covers all start-up costs and resources. There is no
financial risk to the municipality for the equipment, but the town would
have to enter into a three- to five-year contract with the company. Their
turnkey solution includes peace officer training, enforcement equipment
and vehicles, software, signage, maintenance, public advertising and
awareness, and the statistical analysis and reporting required by both the
municipality and the solicitor general.
After the presentation, Councillor Stephen Dafoe made a motion to table
any discussion on the new technology until the Town’s Photo Enforcement
Policy is reviewed, and to begin that review at the April Committee of the
Whole meeting.
Mayor Holmes also echoed the sentiment to review the policy first.
“I feel like one of the only things in life we are actually proactive on. We
are proactive on getting radar but not proactive on other things,” Holmes
said. “I think this should get tabled until [we are] ready [for it] to come
back.”
Dafoe’s motion passed unanimously.

Global Traffic Group Ltd. owner David Steer and two colleagues came to
the Mar. 15 Committee of the Whole meeting to make a presentation on
the Town’s Automated Traffic Enforcement Program. Their primary focus
was to give Council a first look at the stop sign and red light enforcement
technology services that could be an addition to the program Global/ITS
already offer.
Though Steer was clear the company was there merely to present to
Council as a scheduled delegation, a format used to bring something to
the attention of Council as information rather than a request for decision,
Councillor Barry Turner, who was chairing the meeting until Deputy
Mayor Rob Ladouceur arrived, intercepted Steer about the wording of the
presentation.
“The language here is that the turnkey operation “will” include, it sounds
like,” Turner said. “I just want to make it clear that right now there has
been no decision in Morinville to apply this technology. That is so the public
hears that. “Will” sounds like it will and we are not there.”

Summer toy run will roll
again for Midstream
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
More than 100 motorcycle riders are expected to start and stop in
Morinville June 4 for the second edition of an annual event that will support
the Midstream Support Society.
Lions Club members and motorcycle enthusiasts Marty and Deb Robillard
came up with the idea to hold the event last year and were pleased with
the initial response.
“It was quite a success last year for the first run,” said co-organizer
Deborah Robillard. “We had 60 bikes and were able to donate about
$5,000 to the Midstream Support Society and a van load of toys. It was a
wonderful event, and we couldn’t be more pleased that it took place. We
are hoping we can exceed that this year.”

Museum unveils bridal doll display
Volunteers Murray Knight, Yvon LeBlanc and Shirley Rosichuk, along
with Musee Morinville Museum Operations Attendant Donna Garrett,
set up a doll bridal display at the museum last week in time for the
wedding season.
Garrett said the four dolls were donated by Morinville resident
Lil Boddez and were a collection created by Artist Phil Tumminio
and titled From This Day Forward. The dolls feature the same bridal
gown through four generations, each bride tailoring the dress to be
fashionable for her own time. The dolls are Lisa from the 1990s, 1960
Beth, 1930 Betty and 1900s Elizabeth.
The Museum also has a new display of phones through the decades.
The museum is open Wednesday to Saturday from noon until 5 p.m.

This year’s run is a rain or shine event. The route departs from Technical
Automotives in the industrial park and will wind its way through Onaway,
Alberta Beach, Barrhead, Westlock, before returning to Morinville.
Organizers are hoping 100 plus generous riders can help make a
significant donation to the Midstream Support Society’s Santa Store.
Registration for the event is $25 per participant. Registration forms are
available at Technical Automotives or TASER Inc. in the industrial park.
Registration will also take place Friday, June 3 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at
Technical Automotives and Saturday morning up until 9:30 a.m.
The Robillards are hoping to include a 50/50 draw and poker run with
this year’s event. They are encouraging participants and spectators to bring
a toy and are presently looking for sponsors and volunteering for the June
4 Christmas in June Motorcycle Toy Ride.
Those interested in pre-registering, sponsoring or volunteering can
call 780-939-3976 or 780-907-8139. Riders are encouraged to register in
advance.

Morinville Festival Society seeking
site for Logger Sports climbing poles
by Lucie Roy
Morinville News Correspondent
Morinville Festival Society (MFS) President
Korien Sampson and Society members Julie
Booth and Kat Spencer made an informational
presentation to the Town Council during their
Mar. 15 committee meeting about growing the
Logger Sports component of the annual summer
festival.
The main discussion revolved around the
placement, or not, of climbing poles for the
Festival Society’s two-day Logger Sports event at
this year’s St. Jean Baptiste Festival.
The Society has received a $10,000
sponsorship to place two climbing poles installed
for a minimum of three to five years, but the
placement remains in the air because the current
festival site is also the current proposed site for
the future home of the new public school.
“Because of the uncertainty of all sites,
Administration has asked the MFS if there
is an alternative temporary location,” said
David Schaefer, Town of Morinville, Director of
Community and Protective Services. “Because
at this time, we don’t believe there is a site that
would be three to five years, and the investment of $10,000, which is
significant, may be lost.
“Because there are alternative sites to look at, but there is a lot of work
that still has to be done in order to consider that site. The whole layout of
the school at this point is really undetermined and what that is going to
do. So any place for this type of structure is something Administration has
expressed concerns and feels it is unlikely for this year. There are too many
unanswered questions.”
Mayor Holmes said it is not so much a question of where the climbing

poles are going to go. For her, the real question is whether or not the town
wants Council to support a long-term, permanent Logger Sports event in
the community.
“Maybe not this year, but eventually, a permanent site that has all the
pieces is what you are asking for,” she said, adding the event is still just
one year in. The mayor went on to say she would like to see the Society
bring in the log rolling pool as an additional event to build support for the
sport rather than try to do the entire offering all at once.
Morinville’s St. Jean Baptiste Festival takes place June 24 to 26, 2016.
The Logger Sports competition is set for June 25 and 26.

Library Comedy Show hits the stage in April
by Stephen Dafoe
[email protected]
The Morinville Community Library will hold its third annual Library
Comedy Show at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre Apr. 9. The
licensed event is open to those 18 and older, and tickets are $20 each.
This year's fundraiser show features improv comedians Julian Faid and
Kory Mathewson together with opening act Lawrence Wolf.
Faid has been improvising for 15 years, appearing in improv festivals
in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver and Regina. Mathewson has
shared the stage with top improv acts from across Canada, the United
States, and Europe. In 2016, the two improv comedians presented
TEDxRFT at the Seattle Festival of Improvised Theatre.
Opening act Lawrence Wolf has appeared on Bite TV, showcased for the
prestigious Just For Laughs Festival and Sirius XM radio.
Library Manager Isabelle Cramp said they decided to break from their
St. Jean Baptiste Festival connection this year and do the fundraiser earlier
so as not to compete with the busy festival weekend.
"This is our third year doing it, and this is an event that seems to be
well received in the community," Cramp said. "We've had good attendance
both years. We want to keep it going. The reason for the change is we find
during the St. Jean Baptiste Festival people are really busy with everything
that is going on, and we wanted to pull away from that a little bit to boost
the attendance."
Unlike previous years, the Library will not be splitting profits with the
Festival Society. Instead, library volunteers will take the tickets, run the
show, and tend the bar.
Proceeds from this year's Library Comedy Show will go towards funding
library programs, including computer workshops for seniors, the Summer
Reading Program, and any special events the library might do in October.
Tickets are $20 each or $200 for a VIP table of eight. The table price
includes two bottles of wine and snacks. Tickets can be purchased at the
Morinville Community Library and online at EventBright. Doors open Apr. 9
at 7:30 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m.

Ringette wraps up season
by Morinville News Staff
Two years ago a Morinville couple had a vision of bringing something
different to the ice in Morinville. On Mar. 30, 2016, a hand full of children
came out to try the sport, and seven months later 22 took to the ice for
ringette’s first season int he community. A year later and that number was
up 50 per cent.
Morinville Ringette had its wind-up Timbit Tournament Mar. 12 with
four teams playing Morinville’s two teams. The event included two games
for the Active Start (Under 7) players and three games for the Under ten
players.
“The tournament was a resounding success,” organizer Andre Houle
said. “The program is growing, and the Town is fully supporting them by
getting them extra ice for next year. They have quality, dedicated coaching
and are looking to expand the program through players and are also
looking for coaches.”
Houle went on to thank players and parents for Morinville Ringette’s 2nd
season, as well as sponsors Town of Morinville, Tim Hortons, Sobeys, No
Frills, Morinville Sports, Total Machinery and the Morinville Sr. A Kings.
Registration is open for next year for players four and up. Call 780-9394361 for details.

The MCHS Wolves Sr. Girls made their sixth consecutive trip to the ASAA
3A Provincial Basketball Championships last week.
The Girls entered the court Thursday morning with a 53-43 win over
Peace Wapiti and moved on to play a tough game against Chestermere that
evening. In that contest, the Girls led Chestermere 17-14 after one and
expanded the lead to 37-28 at the half. But the lead eroded to 48-46 after
three. Chestermere rebounded to win the contest 65-62.
With one win and one loss, the Girls moved on to face Strathcona
Christian on Friday. The Girls held a narrow lead through the first three
quarters but widened the gap in the final quarter to earn a 72-51 win, and
a spot in the consolation final Saturday morning.
The Wolves final game was against the Holy Trinity Academy Knights.
The Girls advanced from a 19-19 first quarter stalemate to win the day
with a 72-62 win and the AASA 3A Consolation Championship trophy.
