Pounds of pumpkin

Morinville Sobeys have a 150 pound pumpkin on display in the store in their produce department. Franchise owner Shaun Thompson said the store will have a draw three days before Halloween, giving one family the chance to take the giant pumpkin home to carve in time for Halloween.

CABBAGE

Plenty of cabbage

Sturgeon County resident Charity Rostecki sent us this photo of her red cabbage plant that reproduced 10 extra heads after her husband Greg cut the first head off. She says she did not do anything special – she just planted it and it kept growing.

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.
