Abstract:
Lori Dukart grew up in Calgary. She completed a degree in political science and dancing because although she wanted very badly to get into law it was difficult at that time to get admitted. She worked as a legal assistant in various lawyers' offices during the summers and then went to England for three years where she got her first law degree from the University of Cardiff. After her return to Alberta Ms. Dukart took distance education courses in order to be able to satisfy the requirements for admission to the bar in Alberta. In 1997 she opened her own law office and specialized in penal law, real estate and wills and testaments. Later she developed expertise in mediation for conflict resolution as an alternative to formal legal proceedings. Ms. Dukart is one of the few lawyers in Calgary who speak and understand German. Her office is located in the Cambrian Professional Centre, #20, 41 Chelsea Street N.W., Calgary. Ms. Dukart is interested in German-Canadian affairs because her grandfather was sent to Siberia, and her father fled to Germany where he met her mother. She was involved in the affairs of the German-Canadian Club of Calgary as well as in the Germans from Russia Heritage Society.

Isotechnika back on track and steaming along: One trial closer to $2.4B US psoriasis market
Newspaper Name:
Edmonton Journal
Date of Publication:
December 2, 2004
Page(s):
G.1
Abstract:
Edmonton-based biotech firm Isotechnika Inc. -- whose market value plunged last April after it revised its co-development deal with Swiss drug giant Roche -- is back in gear, and investors are starting to take notice. On Wednesday, Isotechnika said Health Canada has given it the green light to launch a pivotal Phase III trial for its lead drug candidate, ISA247, as a treatment for psoriasis. Under terms of the amended pact with Roche, Isotechnika re-acquired the rights to develop ISA247 for the psoriasis market only, and it has spent the past few months doing the arduous prep work for the upcoming Phase III trials. If the results are positive, Isotechnika expects to file a new drug application (NDA) for ISA247 with health regulators in 2007, and it could have its drug on the market by 2008. It estimates the global market for psoriasis drugs will hit $2.4 billion US by 2006, quadruple the 2001 level.

Calgarian ready for Teutonic training: Crescenzi hopes for pro contract in Germany
Newspaper Name:
Calgary Herald
Date of Publication:
December 15, 2004
Page(s):
F.5
Abstract:
18-year-old goaltender John Paul Crescenzi has been invited to train with a youth team of Dresden-Nord, a professional development club in the Bundesliga. When Crescenzi leaves in January, it will be his second trip to Germany. He also spent six weeks there in the fall, training four weeks with Dresden-Nord and two weeks with the Bundesliga's Jahn Regensburg club. Dresden-Nord has invited him back for a full season, from January through June. Unlike the first time, he'll be able to play some games with the youth team there, now that he has a player card. Crescenzi made contact with the German club with help from Kirsten Haroon of Calgary. Haroon moved from Nuremberg, Germany, to Calgary in 1994 and has been involved in Calgary's soccer community ever since. Haroon has always had an interest in developing Canadian soccer players, particularly because her son, Amir Haroon, plays the game. She arranged a tryout for Amir with Germany's FC Energie Cottbus - - a professional development club with a second-division squad in the Bundesliga. Like Crescenzi, Amir is a product of the Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club. Amir first met with Cottbus in 2002 and has climbed the ranks, now playing his third full season with a youth team.Kirsten also arranged trips to Cottbus for other players from the Blizzard Soccer Club. An under-13 Division I squad trained with the club for two weeks in October and a Division I U-16 squad trained there last February. Two of those U-16 players -- Scott McCorkill and Craig Boguski -- were invited back to train for a month.

Winspear salutes the Waltz King New Year's Day
Newspaper Name:

Date of Publication:
December 29, 2004
Page(s):
C.2
Abstract:
When Hungarian-born impresario Attila Glatz staged his first Salute to Vienna concert in Toronto a decade ago, he was taking a calculated risk on a tradition with a proven track record. From Glatz's Toronto office, the Salute to Vienna organization has planned concerts in 29 separate North American cities this year, including Edmonton's eighth Salute to Vienna show New Year's Day. Glatz contracts local orchestras, including musicians of the Edmonton Symphony who will play Saturday under the name the Strauss Symphony of Canada. The Edmonton show also features a couple of Viennese singers and a small troupe of dancers from the Vancouver-based Ottmann Viennese Dance Ensemble, who will whirl elegantly about the Winspear stage to the classic three-four waltz rhythm made most famous by Johann Strauss Jr., nicknamed the Waltz King. Since that first concert a decade ago in Toronto, Glatz has seen his dream unfold in all the major centres on the continent from New York's Lincoln Centre to L.A.'s Walt Disney Concert Hall, as well as eight Canadian cities this time around.

Parent rationale for community-sponsored German language programs

Date of Publication:

Abstract:
M.Ed. thesis. 198 parents from the German bilingual program and Saturday schools in Edmonton responded to a seven-page questionnaire dealing with reasons for sending a child to the German program. The parents were generally satsified with the quality of the program. They believed it was worth starting to learn a language at an early age. The most important reason given for sending a child to these programs was the fact that German was considered to be "useful" for the future. In many cases, there was German family language background as well.

Southern Alberta Hutterian Brethren collection
Date of Publication:
1527-1971, predominant 1527-1825, 1924-1971
Abstract:
The Hutterian Brethren is a sectarian group which lives communally on farms or colonies. Hutterites date back to 1528 when a group of about 200 Anabaptists formed a communal society in Moravia (now in Czechoslovakia) to escape religious persecution. The basic Hutterian beliefs, which are still held today, were established at that time under the leadership of John Hutter. These beliefs include the separation of church and state, pacifism, adult baptism, and communal living and ownership of property. Over their history Hutterites have been subjected to periods of persecution which resulted in migration from Czechoslovakia to Hungary, Romania, Russia, the USA and to Canada. Because of persecution in the USA over their refusal of military service, the group emigrated en masse to Canada in 1918, settling in Manitoba and Alberta, and later in Saskatchewan. Some Hutterites subsequently returned to the USA. The collection consists of Stand Off colony records: recording of church service (1963) and singing (1971); photographs (1940s-1964); recorded interview with Jacob Walter on early history of colony (1971); sketches of early buildings; ethnological study, recorded observations and films by Dr. Karl Peter on colony life; microfilm of early religious writings (ca. 1550s-1560s), chronicle of Hutterian history (1527-1665, 1947- 1960), and legal agreements with government authorities (1782-1944) (predominantly in German); articles of association for Stand Off colony (1924-1956); and genealogy of Jacob Walter family (in German). Also consists of records from a number of southern Alberta colonies, especially Red Willow: German songbooks (1800s-1955, and some microfilmed from 1696-1825); medical book (1612, in German); microfilm of religious writings (1696-1875); recorded songs and interviews; and photographs (1961-1964). Includes microfilm of correspondence between Russian Hutterite colonies (1800s). [Source: Archival description].
