The collection of lights and displays has grown over that period of time. The Mercer family have won the annual Best Lights contest four years running. Mr. Christmas would like everyone to decorate their homes for Christmas by Stephen Dafoe Chris Mercer and his family have won the annual Best Lights contest four years running. After his first two wins he stopped entering his 93 Street home, but friends and neighbours kept putting his name back in the contest. It is not surpris- ing; given the number of lights and Christmas items Mercer puts on display for the community to see each year. “It started when I was a kid from my father decorating,” Mercer said, add- ing the popularity of his display has kept him at it. “Now hearing the stories from people driving by [that they] want to drive by the Christmas house. I just enjoy doing it.” Mercer said he and his family start the project right after Halloween, stringing the many lights and setting up the many displays. Though the project often starts before the snow flies, Mercer said he doesn’t light things up until the Town lights up during the annual Lite Up the Nite celebration. But it isn’t just knowing people are enjoying his display that gets Mercer up on the ladder each year, it is the enjoyment he gets from the entire holiday season “[It’s] family getting together from December 1st until after Christmas,” he said. “It’s the decorations. Everything. I don’t even know where to start.” Mercer said he had a number of items already when he first started decorating for Christmas in a big way. The rest he has accumulated over the years, includ- ing a number he has created himself. “To build some of this takes quite a bit over the last six years we’ve been decorating,” he explained, adding his favourite is the North Pole scene he created this year. “I just had an idea and had a little help from a local sign building place.” The Morinville resident doesn’t expect everyone to go to the lighting lengths he and his family do, but he would like to see more Morinvillians decorating for the holidays. “I would love to see every house on this street decorated,” he said. “Just one string of lights would be awesome.” Page 2 | The Morinville News | MorinvilleNews.com Dec. 24, 2014| Page 2 Page 3 | Dec. 24, 2014 MorinvilleNews.com | The Morinville News | Page 3 Morinville News Editorial Pages ISSN 2291-2738 Yes, Morinville, there is The Morinville News is published each Wednesday by Pawn Marketing & Publishing Inc.

    BC Wheelchair Basketball Society 2010-11 Annual Report From the Office: In typical BC Wheelchair Basketball fashion we took to the court in high gear early in 2010-11 and never looked back. The 2010-11 season was one of our busiest ever with expanded programming in both the participation based and high performance areas, enhanced coaching and officials development, and the introduction of our Let's Play program focused on kids 8 years old and younger across BC. Our thanks to Mike Prescott for his work in this very successful program! Our regional programming was also enhanced through the developing clubs in Comox and Powell River. Congratulations to club leaders Karin Kratz and Lindsay Peake for your work in these new areas. BCWBS's success is a direct result of our volunteer leaders, coaches, dedicated partners and hard-working staff. I am always proud to be a part of the community which is BC Wheelchair Basketball. I would also like to take the time to express our sincere sadness in the passing of past athlete, board member, and friend MJ Boudreault. MJ, you will be sincerely missed. - Carrie Linegar, Managing Director Athlete Development / Participation Based Programming: Let’s Play: The Let’s Play program is helping kids with physical disabilities become physically active early in life... and encouraging them to stay that way. The program is intended to help kids with mobility limitations to become physically active early in life by helping to establish the fundamental skills, knowledge and abilities needed to confidently participate in play, sport and physical education with their peers.

It is a fast-paced team game that attracts competitive athletes with physical disabilities that prevent them from running, jumping, and pivoting. Not all athletes who play wheelchair basketball require the use of a wheelchair for daily life. Open to male and female athletes, wheel- chair basketball requires two teams to play. Each team has twelve players with just five on court during playtime. The objective of each team is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are given for scoring goals by shooting the basketball into the opposing team’s basket. A goal scores from one to three points. Teams actively try to prevent the opposing team from making goals. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Each team is given 24 seconds to complete a goal attempt. If the team with the ball exceeds this time limit, then the ball and the right of play is granted to the opposing team. Goals are scored in the following way: • A free-throw goal = 1 point • A goal from the two-point field goal area = 2 points • A goal from the three-point field goal area = 3 points Wheelchair basketball games have four ten-minute periods with a 15-min- ute interval between the second and third period and one-minute intervals between the first and second, and third and fourth periods.

She was introduced to wheelchair basketball when a group of her friends invited her to accompa- ny them to a demonstration game at the Quebec Games. A year later, a wheelchair basketball team was formed near where she lived. She has been on the national team since 1984, a year after she started playing the sport. She attributes her success in wheelchair basketball to her passion for the sport and her persistent need to improve every time she gets on the court. Before a big game, she relaxes by striking up conversations with people she doesn’t know. At a young age, Benoit lost a leg to cancer. Chantal Benoît vit selon la devise « Il faut aimer ce que l'on fait ». Son objectif pour Beijing est d'être la plus rapide et la plus forte possible. Elle s'est initiée au basketball en fauteuil roulant lorsqu'un groupe d'amis l'a invitée à les accom- pagner à une partie de démonstration aux Jeux du Québec. Un an plus tard, se constituait près de chez elle une équipe de basketball en fauteuil roulant. Elle fait partie de l'équipe nationale depuis 1984, un an après avoir commencé ce sport.
