    Putting it on Ice III: Constructing the Hockey Family Abstracts Carly Adams & Hart Cantelon University of Lethbridge Sustaining Community through High Performance Women’s Hockey in Warner, Alberta Canada is becoming increasingly urbanized with small rural communities subject to amalgamation or threatened by decline. Statistics Canada data indicate that by 1931, for the first time in Canadian history, more citizens (54%) lived in urban centre than rural communities. By 2006, this percentage had reached 80%. This demographic shift has serious ramifications for small rural communities struggling to survive. For Warner, a Southern Alberta agricultural- based community of approximately 380 persons, a unique strategy was adopted to imagine a sense of community and to allow its residents the choice to remain ‘in place’ (Epp and Whitson, 2006). Located 65 km south of Lethbridge, the rural village was threatened with the potential closure of the consolidated Kindergarten to Grade 12 school (ages 5-17). In an attempt to save the school and by extension the town, the Warner School and the Horizon School Division devised and implemented the Warner Hockey School program to attract new students to the school and the community. By 2003, the Warner vision of an imagined community (Anderson, 1983) came to include images of high performance female hockey, with its players as visible celebrities at the rink, school, and on main street. The purpose of this paper is to explore the social conditions in rural Alberta that led to and influenced the community of Warner to take action to ensure the survival of their local school and town.

  • 2014 National History Bowl National Championships Round
    United States Geography Olympiad Round 2 1. This location was where a 1956 airliner crash, the first in the U.S. to result in more than a hundred deaths, took place. Former Rough Rider Buckey O"Neill has a namesake cabin at this location, and the four "Mary Jane Colter Buildings" are also here. It was named by John Wesley Powell, who led a nine-man boat expedition through this site in 1869, and it has a "skywalk" maintained by the Hualapai tribe. The Pueblo people regarded this location as their holy site "Ongtupqa." Now a national park, it was called "beyond comparison" by Teddy Roosevelt.

This region featured the construction of dueling world's tallest flagpoles in the 1980s. The U.S. staged Operation Paul Bunyan in this region after the 1976 "axe murder incident." Commandos snuck across it in 1968 in the failed Blue House Raid to assassinate a president later killed by his own security forces in 1979. This region has a "Joint Security Area" located at Panmunjeom, and it was created after a 1953 armistice. For the point, name this strip of land running along the 38th parallel north which separates two countries, including a Communist one led by Kim Jong-un.

  • Ukraine - Germany: Waiting for "Insights"
    Ukraine - Germany: waiting for "insights" Vol. 4, No. 117, June 1, 1998 When visiting Bonn, Leonid Kuchma announced his decision to run for the second term in office. Apparently, this represents a particular habit of Ukrainian decision-makers, the President included, to make such statements abroad: Kuchma's first announcement that he would "seek re-election in October 1999" appeared in the French newspaper Le Monde on October 15, 1996. Meanwhile, Leonid Kuchma will have to deal with other serious issues during his visit: as he insisted at the time of German president Roman Herzog's visit to Kyiv, "only a blind cannot but see positive changes in Ukraine's economy." Eighteen months after that visit, the Ukrainian president will have to take enormous effort to ensure that the Germans do see the promised progress. Leonid Kuchma's visit to Germany in May 1998, and his talks with German Chancellor Helmut Kohl represent only one instance in relations of the two top executive officials which began when Leonid Kuchma was Prime Minister of Ukraine. The German chancellor visited Ukraine on June 9-10, 1993, at the height of the most significant miners' strike of this decade. After talks with President Kravchuk, Speaker Ivan Pliushch, Prime Minister Leonid Kuchma and Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko, helmut Kohl told at the final press conference that he would advocate easing access for Ukrainian goods to European markets at the European Community forum in Kopenhagen. Though, Ukraine could hardly expect substantial financial assistance from Germany at that time, after Mr. Kohl advised this country to develop "close relations" with the IMF and the World Bank.
