��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Flathead Valley Community College develop exchange program

trevor.kenney — Wed, 29 Oct 2014 20:37:37 +0000

Flathead Valley Community College and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge have established a new exchange program that provides Montana residents the opportunity to complete transferrable college credits at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge.

The new agreement allows for the two institutions to coordinate on program development, promote cooperation in academic activities and develop other mutually beneficial programs.

Through this new partnership, students can complete the first two years of a Bachelor of Science degree in computer science at FVCC and finish the remaining two years of the degree at the U of L. Also, Lethbridge students have the ability to complete Associate of Arts and Associate of Science two-year transfer degrees at FVCC. In all, over 40 courses now are transferrable between the two institutions, creating an ease of course credit transferability that streamlines college degree completion.

“This partnership will allow Northwest Montanans the opportunity to gain a global perspective in a safe, friendly and like-minded community with a similar culture as ours,” says FVCC International Student Coordinator Dr. Gerda Reeb. “This will help our students become globally-proficient individuals, and yet, they will still be close enough to the Flathead Valley to come home when they desire.”

The new agreement allows for the two institutions to coordinate on program development, promote cooperation in academic activities and develop other mutually beneficial programs.

“This is an exciting opportunity for us to build bridges with other institutions that also put students first and care about their students’ educational pathways,” says U of L Faculty of Arts & Science Dean Dr. Craig Cooper. “This agreement between the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge and Flathead Valley Community College opens doors for students from both institutions. We want to provide students as much flexibility as we can for their academic career, while still offering a top quality education close to home. This agreement fulfills all of those requirements.”

Through the new program, ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge students also are able to continue their studies in the United States through FVCC’s partnerships with Montana ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ System (MUS) institutions. The articulation agreements between FVCC and The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Montana, Montana State ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and other MUS institutions afford U of L students the opportunity to earn credits at FVCC and seamlessly transfer those to other MUS institutions.

Flathead Valley Community College is the largest of three community colleges in Montana. The college has two campuses — its main campus in Kalispell and distance learning campus in Libby. Combined, the college serves a a rural region that spans over 5.6 million acres, an area larger than the state of Massachusetts. Accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, FVCC offers more than 100 academic programs that prepare students for transfer to four-year higher education institutions and for careers in the workforce.

Conference explores preservation of Blackfoot history

trevor.kenney — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 15:45:22 +0000

A local group of researchers and First Nations cultural experts are meeting over the next two days (June 4-5) at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge to learn from each other about how to more proactively preserve ancient Blackfoot sites in southern Alberta in the face of future land development.

According to volunteer conference organizer Jerry Potts, a member of the Apatohsipiikuni (Northern Piikani, or Canadian) community, for more than a century archaeologists have recorded, studied and analyzed the remains left by Niitsitapii – the First Nations people of the area.

"This research has enhanced understanding of the material culture of ancient Niitsitapii and has contributed to the preservation and protection of many sites, but most often, these contributions are from a Western, scientific perspective and focus on the material remains – tipi rings, settlement sites and other physical reminders," says Potts. "This conference, the first of its kind in Alberta, brings the keepers of traditional knowledge together with archaeologists to develop the foundation a comprehensive understanding of how Niitsitapii lived with their landscape."

More than 150 participants are expected to attend over the two-day period.

Potts says that land-use studies by the Siksika, Kainai, Apatohsipiikuni (northern Piikani) and Ammskaapipiikuni (southern Piikani, or Montana-based Blackfeet) communities are using the knowledge of the elders to revive and preserve traditional knowledge about these places, integrating the physical remains with the spiritual aspects of the places.

"For millennia, Niitsitapii lived on the plains of the area that is now known as southern Alberta, southern Saskatchewan and Montana. Within this territory people not only found resources that provided sustenance for life, they also developed close spiritual relationships with aspects of the environment. These sites of historical, cultural and spiritual significance occur throughout the Blackfoot landscape," he says.

Some of the key points participants will discuss include:

- Ways to facilitate the integration of traditional knowledge with assessment and mitigation projects associated with resource and industrial development

- Processes to open discussions among archaeologists and Blackfoot representatives that will bring a Blackfoot perspective to their research

- How to bring a Blackfoot perspective to issues of public use and preservation of important locations on the Blackfoot landscape, leading to culturally-sensitive site management plans

- Ways to encourage students, both native and non-native, to participate and to gain an understanding of how archaeologists and Blackfoot may have different perspectives and how it is possible to work together.

Border policies greatly affect communities

trevor.kenney — Wed, 22 May 2013 19:45:55 +0000

Close co-operation between municipalities and chambers of commerce on both sides of the border is important to ensure that decisions made in Washington, DC and Ottawa will serve the interests of most residents of the region, according to ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge political scientist Geoffrey Hale.

Groups like the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) do an excellent job of promoting broader regional interests on cross-border economic co-operation, says Hale, but there are enough different interests at play on border issues that area business groups can't take political responsiveness for granted.

"Governments in both countries naturally tend to be focused on big ticket items and the busiest border crossings, especially when they're stretched financially" says Hale, noting the ongoing work of the "Beyond the Border" Task Force announced by President Obama and Prime Minister Harper in early 2011. "This can lead to the emergence of 'nickel and dime' irritants that create unnecessary barriers to economic activity."

Recently, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) proposed that the U.S. Congress authorize a study to explore the feasibility of collecting a fee for both Americans and visitors returning to or entering the United States across its land borders with Canada and Mexico. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, about 193 million people crossed the U.S. land border in 2012 – including 1.5 million across Montana's 13 border crossings with Canada.

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee quickly passed an amendment to the comprehensive immigration bill now before Congress to scrap the measure. Congress is also considering proposals to allow Canadian "snowbirds" not working in the United States to stay an additional two months (above the current six) if they own or rent property there without triggering tax penalties under complex IRS rules. Canadians have invested heavily in vacation and other properties in the Flathead Valley and elsewhere in Montana in recent years.

In 2012, almost one million vehicle crossings occurred at 13 ports of entry into Montana, including 737,724 personal vehicles, with 1,300,642 passengers, 175,770 trucks, 843 buses, 21,342 passengers; and 5,145 pedestrians – most of the latter between the border communities of Sweetgrass and Coutts. The top three crossings – Sweetgrass (I-15); Roosville (US-93), and Peigan (US-89) – account for 86 per cent of passenger vehicle and 84 per cent of truck traffic entering Montana from Canada.

"Cross-border travel, particularly for tourism and recreation, is a major engine for the economy of Flathead Valley," says Hale, who studies economic, security, and other cross-border issues between Canada and the United States. "In addition, Canadian travelers have generated much of the traffic growth at Kalispell / Glacier Park and Kalispell Airports in recent years."

Hale notes that Montana's members of Congress and area legislators have a record of engaging business interests from Montana's northern border regions with a view to promoting economic development and job creation. With members of Congress from both northern and southern border states weighing in on these types of issues, sometimes with very different priorities, it's important for Montanans who benefit from continued cross-border traffic to ensure their voices are heard on these issues, says Hale.

Alumnus Anderson takes pride in being No. 1

trevor.kenney — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:11:50 +0000

It is one of those things that really shouldn't be a big deal. After all, a ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ ID number is just a simple sequence of digits and every student has one. Why is it then that years after graduation, when we have occasion to remember that long forgotten string of integers, do so many of us wax nostalgic?

Perhaps the answer lays not so much in the numbers themselves but in the memories they have come to symbolize, memories of friends and professors, great marks, not so great marks and the ultimate realization of an incredible accomplishment.

At the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge, the first two numbers on a student's ID represent the year that a student begins studying there. If you know a bit about the history of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, you might guess that the first student ID started with the number 67. Wayne Anderson (BASc '73), the first student registered at the U of L, however, tells a little different story of ID number 00057001.

"When I graduated from high school in Picture Butte in 1957, Kate Andrews was the chairman of the board that was starting up a college in Lethbridge. Because our school district contributed funds to the building of the college, the college gave us the opportunity to go in and start as first year university students," remembers Anderson. "I started out in education. There was a big need then for teachers, so for incentive to get us enrolled, our tuition was only 100 dollars for a semester. Although we were within the college, we were actually the first ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge students."

Wayne Anderson, here at the Aperture sculpture, will be on campus in May to receive his Fiat Lux Alumni Ring.

The first building built with those funds still stands as part of a local high school.

"They built onto the west end of Lethbridge Collegiate Institute. There were rooms there for us to use and as soon as we finished the year we moved out and the Collegiate took over. William Cousins was the dean of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ students there, and that is how we started out in the fall of 1957," explains Anderson.

After his first year, Anderson took a break from school to work at the research station in Vauxhall. He married his sweetheart in 1966 and later moved back to Lethbridge to accept a job at the Lethbridge Research Centre.

"My Mother had gone to grade 11 and in the 1920s that was quite a feat. I did not have a very good showing my first year at the college and my mother was so disappointed that I didn't carry on. I wanted to rectify it and make her proud of me, so I started back at ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ," recalls Anderson.

Balancing a full-time job with a young family and part-time studies, Anderson once again pursued a degree, this time in physical sciences. He eventually graduated with a BASc in geography in 1973.

"I aimed toward that degree because I was working in that field and I really loved my job. The courses I took, geomorphology, soils, agricultural geography, research techniques, Russian and Canadian geography, were all somehow related to the research station and its work worldwide. The professors would post our marks on the door. In all those years taking courses I never had a hard time finding mine because the students' IDs started in the 60s and 70s and my ID stood out like a sore thumb because it started with 57," chuckles Anderson.

Anderson continued to work at the research station until he retired in 1991. Not one to sit still long, he began working as a driver for the armoured car division of Loomis before retiring again in 2003. Deciding that retirement was not for him, Anderson began yet another career working for the Commissionaires as Security personnel for the Alberta/Montana transmission line.

Now 75 years young, Anderson loves visiting the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ campus on a regular basis as part of the Walk for Wellness group. On May 29, 2013 he will be on campus to participate in a special ceremony to receive the Fiat Lux Alumni Ring.

"One of my proudest accomplishments is graduating after spending all those years in ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ. The ring is something to always remind me of the years I put in and of being a part of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ. I feel pretty impressed to see how far the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has come from when I first started until now. When I see all these students I think, gee it has been a long time since I have been a student here," laughs Anderson. "It is great to be an alumnus!"

GET THE FACTS

· Anderson has been married for 47 years and has two daughters and one son, with one daughter a U of L alumna

· He has been a curler for 50 years and still coaches wheelchair curling in Lethbridge

· An old car buff, Anderson has driven his 1966 Chevy hardtop in the annual Street Wheelers weekend

· He calls the '57 Chevy his favourite vehicle, and briefly owned one after his first year of university

Cross border connection

trevor.kenney — Wed, 18 May 2011 17:22:54 +0000

��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Economics instructor/researcher Donna Townley spent a recent weekend in Montana doing some cross border teaching that she hopes will help the regional economy in the Flathead Valley.

Townley was outlining the benefits of improving and increasing relationships with Canadian visitors and their neighbours. The Flathead Valley is an area frequented by Canadian visitors, and encompasses Whitefish, Kalispell and other communities.

Economics instructor Donna Townley is helping the Flathead Valley region of Montana understand the benefits of Canadian tourism.

Working in partnership with the Montana West Economic Development Group and the Kalispell and Whitefish Convention and Visitors Bureaus, they produced a seminar for the regional business community that explained the Canadian economy, the purchasing power of the Canadian dollar and her research-based discoveries of who visits the Flathead Valley and why.

While it may be common knowledge that there are a lot of Canadian visitors and residents in the area, the actual definition of 'a lot' is a surprise to many. Townley says that increased awareness of the impact that Canadians have on the regional economy should help businesses better serve Canadian visitors.

"The people who attended understood much better that there is a market in southern Alberta for the Montana experience, and they want to build a bridge, not close the gate," says Townley.

She adds that the seminar gave attendees a better understanding of the Canadian point of view, and the economic impact of how Canadians can help their local economy.

"Increasing or even securing Canadian tourism into the Flathead Valley will strengthen the Valley's economy," she says. "I was very pleased to have the support of the Glacier Bank and their people, who talked about Canadian currency. As well, there was a lot of interest in changing credit card machines to take Canadian debit cards, as well as other measures."

Townley says the debit card shift would be of significant benefit, since a recent survey conducted by VISA indicated that more than 65 per cent of Canadians – who are already among the world's highest users of debit cards – would want to use their debit cards south of the border.

She adds that her presentation was a combination sales pitch and crash course in first-year macroeconomics, all the while outlining some big picture reasons why Montana is of continued interest to Canadians. Providing a basic understanding of what influences the value of the Canadian dollar, as well as the Canadian economy, also went a long way with those who attended the event.

"I used prices for everyday items such as pizza, beer, groceries, a tank of gasoline and other typical things Canadians might purchase to illustrate that, even when the value of the Canadian dollar falls to the US dollar (or lower) Canadians will still travel to the Valley, because prices are generally 20 per cent higher in Canada for the majority of items," says Townley.

"The ultimate purpose was to inform local business owners about Canadians so they will be able to continue building strong relationships across the border and provide the best customer service possible."

More than 130 people attended the seminar at Flathead Valley Community College. Guests included business owners from Montana and Alberta, local and regional government representatives, and interested citizens. Townley says she is still getting e-mail questions and comments from guests.

"We hoped to identify those businesses looking for opportunities for Valley-wide cooperation to attract Canadians to the area for entertainment, shopping, recreation, home purchase and business investment," says Kim Morisaki, manager of Client Development and Resources, Montana West Economic Development. "We have heard only great reviews and everyone loved her presentation."

Programming Team Earns Second Place Finish At Rocky Mountain Regional

trevor.kenney — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 20:55:22 +0000

A 12-person group is split into four groups of three, and has to solve nine complex computer programming problems in a very short time. All the while, they are competing against more than 50 other teams from across North America as part of the Rocky Mountain region of the Association for Computing Machinery's (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest.

How did the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge group fare? Very well. Of the four teams in the competition from the U of L, one group took second place and three other teams landed in the middle third of the results – 23rd, 25th, and 29th place overall.

"Students have to apply what they learn in different courses, and some problems require knowledge of techniques or algorithms that are not taught in any course," says team advisor
Dr. Howard Cheng (mathematics and computer science). "These are taught during our regular practice sessions, where the teams spend several hours per week training for this contest."

The competition draws students from large and small colleges and universities throughout Arizona, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Eastern Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Alberta, Saskatchewan and New Mexico. The group received funding from the Faculty of Arts and Science as well as Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures to support the costs for participation.

Cheng says the contest requires logical thinking skills and precise implementation of their ideas.

"If their solution is incorrect for even one test case, it is considered wrong," he says.

The groups had limited time to complete a series of nine problems, which ranged from supposedly simple, to very complex.

"We had to figure out how to write code based on where the letter 't' appeared in a series of words," says Keilan Scholten, a third year mathematics and computer science student. "It seems simple, but we wound up using more than an hour and a half of our time allotment. The first six of our problems were done in just over two hours."

Among the problems, the group successfully created a ranking of teams for a soccer league, figured out the maximum number of climbers a piece of climbing rope can support and worked out a way to determine if packages of certain dimensions were the right size to be mailed.

Team group members included: (Team A) Darcy Best, Keilan Scholten, Hugh Ramp; (Team B) Jeremy Andrijancic, Johnny Boldt, Kim Wikkerink; (Team C) Mark Fischer, Mark Hunter, Fern Leavens; (Team D) Falcon Momot, Jason Racine and Fei Wang. Best (fourth year), Ramp (second year) and Scholten (third year) also finished third in the Alberta Collegiate Programming Contest, held in mid-October as a warm-up to the regional contest.

Horns men's basketball in Calgary tourney

trevor.kenney — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 16:14:14 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns men's basketball team is getting an early start on the 2010-11 school year with a matchup versus an NCAA opponent at the Battle of the Border tournament in Calgary this week.

The Horns will face the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks of the NCAA's Big Sky Conference Wednesday, Aug. 11 and Sunday, Aug. 15 at the Jack Simpson Gymnasium at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary.

Wednesday night's game tips at 7 p.m. with Sunday's affair set for 10 a.m.

The entire Pronghorns squad is not available for the two pre-season games, with newcomers Abner Kamps and Niko Kovacs unavailable due to previous commitments. However, Julian Spearchief-Morris and Zack Humphrey will both make their Pronghorn debuts, joining eight returning players.

Northern Arizona is the third Big Sky School to make the trip to Calgary for the tournament after Weber State attended in 2007 and Montana in 2008.

The Lumberjacks, based in Flagstaff, Ariz., went 14-14 overall (8-8 Big Sky) in 2009-10, falling in the opening round of the Big Sky Tournament. Led by two-time All-Big Sky guard Cameron Jones, the team returns four starters in 2010-11 under head coach Mike Adras.

The Horns are gearing up for the 2010-11 Canada West season, which begins October 22-23 when the club hosts the Trinity Western Spartans.

It's a story that never should have been forgotten. This fall, U of L alumna Ramona Big Head (BEd '96) will take 23 students from the Blackfoot Confederacy with her all the way to New York City to perform "Strike them Hard!" The Baker Massacre – a play that speaks to a long-lost tragedy that many have never heard about.

Big Head wrote the script as her final project while pursuing her master of education at the U of L. It brings to life a piece of history that dates back more than 135 years to a cold day in January.

It was 1870 and U.S. Major Eugene Baker and his troops had been given orders to find a group of troublemakers in the area and "strike them hard." When they came across a Blackfeet camp set up along the Marias River in northern Montana, they mistook it as their target.

Despite a signed declaration from the superintendent of Indian Affairs stating that the peaceful camp was not to be attacked, 217 Blackfeet people – mostly women, children and the elderly – were killed.

When Big Head first learned about the massacre through an Aboriginal Elder mentor program she helped develop, she was shocked to discover that her great-great grandmother, who although only a child at the time, was among a small group who survived.

"I was really angry when I first heard about the massacre, especially when I realized that there was a direct connection to my ancestry," says Big Head.

"But today I can talk about the Baker Massacre and not be angry about it. Why? Because I am doing something about it. I wrote the play to remind my people of what our ancestors endured. We're a testimony to their strength."

Following a recommendation from her master's supervisor, Big Head submitted a proposal for the play to be included in Performing the World '08 – a New York festival that brings together more than 400 activists, scholars and researchers from around the world who share a common goal to use performance to foster growth and development.

Exceeding Big Head's greatest expectations, the play was the first submission to ever be accepted from a First Nations group. Big Head and a cast of students ranging in ages from six to 18 are preparing for a performance of a lifetime on a stage off Broadway.

"While there are many ways to tell a story, for me this is the best way – to have children learn the story, perform it and share it with others. These kids are learning and teaching others about the strength and resiliency of our people. It is something they will never forget."

Horns into Canada West final

trevor.kenney — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:31:09 +0000

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Pronghorns women's rugby team is looking for its third straight national title, with the first stage of that process a run through the Canada West conference championships this weekend in Edmonton.

On Friday afternoon, the Horns booked their spot in Sunday's title game with an 86-0 rout of Victoria Vikes in the first of two semifinal games.

The lopsided victory over the Vikes was hardly unexpected. After completing the inaugural Canada West conference schedule undefeated, the Pronghorns (4-0 CW, 7-0 overall) entered the conference championship tournament as the top seed. The Vikes (1-3 CW), who were thumped 71-0 by the Horns earlier in the season, were in as the fourth seed.

In the second semifinal, the Alberta Pandas (3-1 CW and second seeded) hosted the UBC Thunderbirds (2-2 CW, third seed).

The Horns expect to face Alberta in Sunday afternoon's 1 p.m. title game. The two teams clashed just last weekend at the new U of L Community Sports Stadium with the Horns prevailing 22-7.

In other Horns' news, a busy weekend of Canada West action sees the men's hockey team, along with both men's and women's soccer teams, all playing at home. As well, the women's basketball team hosts the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Montana Western for a pair of non-conference games.

Men's Hockey

The Pronghorn men's hockey team (1-2-1 CW, 5-6-2 overall) will have revenge on its mind this weekend as they host the UBC Thunderbirds (3-0-1 CW, 4-3-1 overall). The T-Birds knocked out the Horns in the first round of playoffs last year in three games, all three games going to overtime, including a double OT series deciding game.

The T-Birds have opened the season with two strong weeks and are ranked ninth in the first CIS Top-10 rankings. The T-Birds swept the previously undefeated Manitoba Bisons last weekend in Vancouver.

Puck drops both Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. at Nicholas Sheran Arena.

Live stats for both games can be found at: http://www.leaguestat.com/canadawest/mens/en/stats/schedule.php?date=2009-10-09

Soccer

The women's soccer team (0-10-0 CW) plays its final home games of the season this weekend, hosting the CIS fourth-ranked Victoria Vikes (6-1-3 CW), Saturday, and Fraser Valley Cascades (4-3-3 CW) on Sunday.

Earlier this season, the Horns were beaten 3-0 by both teams at their respective home fields.

Kick-off for both games is scheduled for noon at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Community Stadium.

The men's soccer team (1-6-3 CW), coming off a pair of ties last weekend on the road, also hosts the Victoria Vikes (5-5-1 CW) Saturday and Fraser Valley Cascades (3-7-1) Sunday.

The Horns will attempt to play spoiler this weekend, as the Vikes are holding onto the final playoff spot in Canada West, only two points ahead of the Calgary Dinos.

Women's Hockey

The Women's Hockey team (1-3-0 CW, 4-6-0 overall) heads out on the road, traveling to Vancouver to face the UBC Thunderbirds (1-1-0 CW).

The Thunderbirds had a bye this past weekend and split their season opening series with the Calgary Dinos over Thanksgiving weekend in Vancouver.

Puck drops in Vancouver at 7:30 p.m. PST both Friday and Saturday nights at the Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sport Centre.

Live stats for both games can be found at: http://www.leaguestat.com/canadawest/womens/en/stats/schedule.php?date=2009-10-09

Women's Basketball

The women's basketball team (0-0 CW, 4-2 overall) will conclude its non-conference schedule this weekend, hosting the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Montana Western in a pair of games.

The Horns have had a solid pre-season, winning a tournament in Kamloops and posting another strong showing last weekend in Regina. The Horns defeated the Brandon Bobcats and lost two close games to strong Canada West teams in Victoria and Regina.

Tip off for Friday night's game is 7 p.m., while Saturday's game is set for 4 p.m. at the 1st Choice Savings Centre.

Men's Basketball

The men's basketball team (0-0 CW, 1-1 overall) will also complete the pre-season this weekend and heads back down south for the second consecutive week, traveling to Montana to face the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Great Falls and Montana Tech.

The Horns basketball teams will kick off their respective conference schedules next weekend, traveling to Edmonton to face the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Alberta.
