The success of Camrose Fish and Game Association will be celebrated and funds for future projects will be raised at the

21 Annual Fund-raising and Awards Banquet st

Saturday, March 14, at the Norsemen Inn. The special evening, the club’s most important fund-raiser annually, will include wild game appetizers and an Alberta beef supper with all the trimmings, as well as entertainment, silent auction, raffles and door prizes.

Camrose Fish and Game Association is involved in whole, or part, of a wide variety of local and provincial endeavours which ensure fish and wildlife habitat. Of note: stocking and maintaining the Pleasure Island trout pond (just east of Camrose) and the adjoining 40 acres, as well as making the popular attraction handicapped accessible. Club members build song-bird houses and purple

martin houses, and place them in strategic nesting locations. The transportation and release of over 1500 pheasants into our area was a prized project last year. Other annual club efforts include: assisting at Camrose FlyIn Breakfast, sponsoring children to attend and learn at outdoor youth camps, Augustana scholarship participation, promoting fish catch-and-release programs and contributing to the Alberta Wildlife Trust Fund.

To attend or to become a member of Camrose Fish and Game Association please contact Wayne Harde at 780-672-7488 or Glen Hand at 780-672-2783

Minister stresses need to diversify

By Dan Jensen

Minister of Culture and Tourism Maureen Kubinec was happy when she saw that the theme chosen for the 15th annual Growing Tourism Conference in Camrose Feb. 23 to 25 was Start Something New. “It is important to find ways to diversify the economy for the province and for each of the rural communities in Alberta,” said the minister. “Now is the time to make tourism a key component of Alberta’s economic platform. Now is the time to collaborate with government, communities and industry to grow tourism in this province to a $10.3 billion industry by 2013. That is our goal.”

Kubinec expressed delight at being able to see the entrepreneurial spirit at the conference and the ways rural tourism operators are strengthening their local economies.

“It is my hope,” she said, “that all of you are able start something new in tourism from the ideas and information that you have gathered here.”

Kubinec said that rural Alberta is a significant part of the province’s identity.

“Alberta has deeply significant roots here.. We know the value of rich, deep, black soil and hard work.

Our small towns reflect the history of exploration and pilgrimage. The wild west and the pioneering spirit.

Our beautiful landscapes, be they the majestic mountains, the iconic badlands, the emerald boreal forest, the wide open prairie skies, they are all part of our rural legacy and rural tourism shines a light on all of these qualities, to visitors at home and abroad.”

Kubinec was appointed Minister of Culture and Tourism on Sept. 15, 2014. .

County agrees to share revenue from rescue responses

By Murray Green

Camrose County entered into a memorandum of understanding for revenue sharing collected from motor vehicle collisions they respond to on two and three digit primary highways within the county.

Administrator Paul King reported that the proposed agreement between Camrose County and the villages and towns within the County outlines the provisions of revenue sharing funds that are gen-

erated from rescue services provided at accidents.

“We would take 25 percent, the villages or town would take 25 per cent and 50 per cent would go into a reserve fund, which the County would manage for replacement or upgrades,” King said.

He indicated that the funds could be used to purchase more equipment for the various fire departments.

This agreement is for calls to accidents where insur-

ance is not provided by the motorist.

Councillor Jack Lyle made the motion. “I move that Camrose County Council approve the proposed memorandum of understanding between Camrose County and the Villages of Bawlf, Edberg, Ferintosh, Hay Lakes, Rosalind and the Town of Bashaw for the provisions of revenue sharing for funds generated from rescue services and/or other services provided at motor vehicle col-

lisions on two and three digit primary Alberta highways billed through Alberta Transportation within the municipality’s fire protection areas, and further that administration be directed to circulate the appropriate specific memorandum of understandings to all fire service agreement partners for approval.”

King reported the Fire Services agreements need to be updated to reflect current operating procedures and

policies, as well as reflect the changes with respect to the collection of revenues generated for attending motor vehicle collisions on two and three digit primary highways.

Councillor Brian Willoughby then added a motion to distribute the specific Fire Services Agreements to the Villages of Bawlf, Edberg, Ferintosh, Hay Lakes and Rosalind and the Town of Bashaw for approval.

Licensing Canadian feed mills From Agri-News The Canadian Grain Commission has begun consultations on its proposal to license feed mills in Western Canada and to extend payment protection to grain producers who sell grain to feed mills.

The Canadian Grain Commission is seeking input from feed mills, grain producers, producer groups, current licensees,

and industry stakeholders on its proposal to license feed mills and to assist in the development of licensing requirements for feed mills.

The intent is to assess the feed mill industry in Western Canada. Information collected will be considered when determining a threshold for commercial feed mills to be licensed.

Relevant information,

including a description of the issue and a full description of the proposal, are available on the Canadian Grain Commission’s web site at http://www.grainscanada.gc.ca.

Information is also provided on the web site on how stakeholders can comment on the proposal. Stakeholders have until April 9, to submit input.

Prior announces intention to seek PC seat in Battle River-Wainwright Blake Prior of Irma is declaring his intentions to run for the nomination for the Progressive Conservative Party for the Battle River Wainwright constituency.

Prior previously had intended to run for the Wildrose nomination last year, before the new Premier’s nomination and election, as well as the leader of the Wildrose Party, Danielle Smith and three other Wildrose members crossing the floor to the PCs. “Taking into consideration what’s happened, including the floor crossing, everything changed,” said Prior.

When MLA Doug Griffiths resigned in January, that opened the door to new possibilities.

“Once Doug resigned, I

Blake Prior

had a new perspective on things,” said Prior. “Going back to the people I spoke to before, it comes down to how do you best represent the constituency?

“People are looking for

leadership, especially now.

With 17 new faces, plus the new premier, it’s pretty well going to be a fresh start.

For Prior, the biggest issues he had with the PCs, and his right leaning to the Wildrose were addressed with Prentice following through with his promises once he first got into office.

“He will still have a tough boat to sail, but he’s going in the right direction,” said Prior. “My ideas on policies and direction haven’t changed, but I think this is the best direction to represent this constituency and to address the concerns that this constituency has.”

For more information, contact Blake Prior at 1-587281-2722.

On farm grain storage options From Agri-News

Recent record yields and transportation backlogs have increased interest in on-farm storage options.

“There are many different storage options available, either temporary or permanent,” says Todd Bergen-Henengouwen, project assistant, Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD), Edmonton. “The two most popular options are steel grain bins (either corrugated or smooth walled with or without hoppers) and grain bags. Other options are sheds, producer owned grain elevators, grain rings, piles and bunkers.”

The last 10 years have seen bin prices climbing, says Bergen-Henengouwen. “In 2004, the average corrugated hopper bottom was priced at $2.50/bushel while in 2014 it is close to $4.00/bushel. With the price increase and the need for unexpected grain storage producers have been looking at grain baggers as a viable option.”

Grain baggers are useful in situations when: the land is either rented or leased and investment in permanent storage is not desired; the operator only needs to store grain for a short period of time, or has plans to exit the business in a few years; there is limited labour and trucking available during harvest; land is located long distances apart; storing low quality crops such as feed wheat, barley and sample canola; grain is dry and has no need to be dried or aerated; there is plastic recycling in the area; there is a need to store large volumes of grain.

“Having developed a partial budget to compare bins from baggers it was found that operations need to store more than 70,000 bushels of grain per year to make the bagger economical competitive to bins,” says Bergen-Henengouwen.

Baggers have their disadvantages as storage is temporary and damage can occur to the plastic either

through wildlife, trees or human damage (snowmobiles). Once the bag is exposed to the elements, grain spoilage and pest and wildlife damage and losses can occur. As well, the plastic is difficult to roll after the grain has been emptied and recycling is limited.

“Choosing the right grain storage system can be difficult decision for an operation but by looking at total costs, the farm’s future plans, existing systems and labour availability producers can narrow down the best option for them,” adds Bergen-Henengouwen.

For more information on grain storage cost comparisons and storage considerations go to ARD’s Farm Manager website.

There is also a YouTube video available: Grain Storage Considerations.

Sabbath Saturday experiment I’ve been reading about the Sabbath day lately and love the idea of a day of rest in our busy week. I recently decided to try an experiment: Sabbath Saturday. I decided that Sunday isn’t often a restful day for us, with packing up three children and taking them to church. We often meet with our small group for potluck suppers, so it can become a busy day. So I thought, why not Saturday

instead?

I really like the idea that God rested on the seventh day, and that we should follow His example.

The premise is that if you are rested, you can better tackle all of your projects on the other days of the week.

At first, I had grand visions of what a restful Sabbath might include: bubble baths, soothing Bible reading, time to play my dusty guitar and get outside on my own. I quickly discovered something: it’s really hard to rest, especially with little ones underfoot.

There are so many things that can get in the way of a really good relaxing day. My phone makes a noise when I receive a text. Dishes have to be done daily. Diaper duty can’t be ignored.

So I had to scale back my expectations a bit and reflect on what things should be included in a relaxing day and what things shouldn’t. My top things to avoid were: Laundry sorting. Laundry folding. Laundry putting away. Cooking. Computer time.

The things I wanted to include were: Crosscountry skiing. Reading a good novel. Having a nap – the kind where you realize your mouth has been wide open. A soak in the hot tub. Saskatoon waffles with maple syrup. Reading a devotion.

Doing something goofy with the kids like a good wrestling match, or a board game. This day can include something as simple as savouring the food I’m eating, enjoying the flavours and aromas. It can be flipping my to-do list upside down and spending more time on my kids’ level, lost in their world.

My first Sabbath Saturday started off well, with a cup of Maracoja Orange tea (try it, it’s delightful!).

Then I noticed the dishes piled high beside the dishwasher and was faced with my first decision – snuggling up with the kids and a book on the couch or doing dishes?

As I went throughout my first Sabbath Saturday, then second and third, I discovered that the key to a truly restful day is planning ahead. Want to avoid laundry? Then I need to do some folding the day before and put that load of wash into the dryer. Don’t want to cook? Then I needed to make plans to go out for supper or cook plenty on Friday so that I could have leftovers for Sabbath.

I also learned that what is restful for one person is not for another. I have a friend who has also embarked on a regular Sabbath day and she enjoys cooking a big meal and trying out new recipes. I enjoy baking but I only cook because we need to eat. (Actually, I wish meal making was as simple as portrayed in the movie Back to the Future 2: a small pill put into the microwave for five seconds and voila, a whole pizza!).

So far my husband has found my Sabbath Saturdays to be quite comical. He will ask if I will be running a certain errand the next day, then say, “Oh wait, you can’t, tomorrow is your Sabbath” with a little smirk. I finally asked him what was so funny and he replied that it was just entertaining to see someone trying to have a restful day with three children ages five and under. But I think it will catch on.

So now on my Sabbath, I breathe. I relax. I savour. And repeat.

County changes award criteria

By Murray Green Camrose County didn’t find a match for its University of Alberta Augustana Campus Scholarship this spring.

Councillors amended the criteria for the annual Augustana scholarship to gain more qualified students for selection at the County meeting Feb. 24.

“The scholarship should be awarded to a Camrose County resident with satisfactory academic standing, enrolled in an undergraduate degree program and selected on the basis of demonstrated leadership,” said councillor Doug Lyseng, who made the motion.

Prior to the motion that carried, the criteria for the Camrose County scholarship was superior academic standing, demonstrated leadership and residency.

In 2014, there were no students that met that criteria.

Administrator Paul King had discussions with the Augustana awards office to remove one of the current conditions to allow for a larger pool of students to be eligible.

“The largest pool of eligible students (nine students) would result if leadership was removed and superior academic standing remained. It could be awarded to an entrance or a returning student,” informed King before the motion.

The geographic restriction, the academic designation and the leadership component is what makes the existing pool of students small.

The County scholarship for the Augustana Award is $1,000. Superior academic qualification is a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.5 or higher. Satisfactory academic qualification is a GPA of two or higher.

“I’m living proof of this.

The first two years I applied for every scholarship that I could and didn’t receive anything. My marks improved in my third year and I received $24,000. I like to see the scholarship open to average students with leadership skills instead of all of the awards going to a select few, who receive most of the awards,” added councillor Trevor Miller.

Rural safety week observed From Agri-News

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week runs March 15 to 21 this year. This is a great time for farmers, farm workers and families to initiate discussion around safety and implementing a health and safety system on their farms.

“It is important to create and implement a health and safety management system that encompasses all aspects of a farm’s operations for the entire year,” said Laurel Aitken, farm safety coordinator for Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development (ARD).

“The important first step to creating this system is for farm owners and managers to develop a policy outlining their commitment to safety.”

Once that commitment is put in place the next steps are to identify hazards and put controls in place to reduce or eliminate the risks associated with those hazards. The very nature of duties associated with farming can make hazard identification a rather daunting task. However, it is the identification and control of hazards that create a safe environment on any worksite. Continual monitoring for new hazards and reporting and investigating incidents enable owners, managers and workers to make continuous improvements.

“When you look at the benefits of creating a health and safety system, there are three main factors: human, legal and financial,” said Aitken.

The human factor benefits of a health and safety system are that it not only meets the moral obligations of keeping workers, visitors and family members safe and healthy, but increases morale, motivation and worker retention while meeting consumer expectations of how food is produced. From a legal standpoint a documented safety plan proves due diligence to avoid legal issues and reduces the likelihood of civil or criminal code penalties. The financial benefits of a health and safety system include consistent productivity, more effective service delivery, reduction in indirect costs, less equipment or property damage and, in some cases, reduction of insurance fees.

There are many tools and resources available to help farm owners and managers develop a health and safety management system on their farm.

For more information on the Alberta FarmSafe Plan, visit the ARD farm safety website or contact Laurel Aitken by phone at 780-9804230 or by email at laurel. aitken@gov.ab.ca.

Community of Bawlf celebrates new school

By Dan Jensen

Students, parents and teachers joined with Battle River School Division officials and Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development Minister Verlyn Olson in celebrating the opening of Bawlf School March 1.

The school’s construction was approved by the provincial government in 2011.

“Alberta Infrastructure was the overseer of the project and was responsible for the project budget,” said BRSD superintendent Rita Marler at the official opening ceremony, “but a number of Battle River representatives provided input that included asking students and staff for their vision of what a new school could include.”

Students told designers they wanted a school with lots of light, places to sit together, a great gymnasium, updated science labs, and the opportunity to have CTS programs.

“We are happy to say that all of these are in place,” said Marler. “It is bright, accessible to everyone, has adaptable spaces and lots of flexibility.

“I know we will all take pride in the opportunities it makes available to students.”

BRSD board of trustees chair Kendall Severson said the new school is the first to be built in the division in over 30 years.

“I remember the day we broke ground for this new building in 2013,” he said.

“It has been a privilege to be part of the process and to watch it rise out of the ground. When I think back to the amount of stairs, the electrical issues and the mechanical issues in the former building I am so grateful for what we have today.”

The new Bawlf School was part of a $550 million provincial government investment in the first of what will eventually turn out to be a three phase school building project.

“The premier announced a third phase not too long ago for yet another 55 new schools and 290 modernizations,” said Olson, “so there are a lot of schools being built across the province.

The second phase included $2 billion for 50 new schools and 70 modernizations.”

Olson said it is significant to him that many of the people who lived in the Bawlf community many years ago are still around.

“They stayed in the community and helped build the community and that is one of the things that makes Bawlf a special place. It has a great tradition in terms of supporting education.”

Olson noted that the province’s rural economic development action plan talks a lot about what is important to rural Albertans.

“When we did the rural

economic development action plan study we heard that technology, high speed Internet, those types of things, were absolutely crucial. When you think about it, the young people here wouldn’t be too excited about living in rural Alber-

ta if there was no access to high speed Internet, no Netf lix, no other access to the things that are in this school. This obviously figures into things like farming as well. Agriculture has become so scientific and high tech, as

has any kind of business you might want to run in rural Alberta. It is important to have the tools you need, so this school is a major building block to building a very strong and vibrant community for the future.”

Olson congratulated the BRSD and the Bawlf community for contributing to the creation of a place that is going to have a lot of great memories for young people.

“The school board deserves a big pat on the back, as do the staff, the administration and, of course, the parent councils who have been involved through the years, talking about the need for a new school and actually bringing it to fruition.”

Bawlf School principal Lorne Berg expressed appreciation to the former teachers for their lessons about integrity, responsibility and student learning. “The things you taught us are still being carried out today,” he said.

A plaque that hangs in one of the hallways of the new school recognizes the fact that many of the students come from Rosalind School, which was closed in 2013.

“Bawlf School is pleased to welcome students from the community,” says the plaque. “We continue to uphold the standards of strong citizenship and the pursuit of excellence.”

Bawlf Educational Support Team (BEST) co-chair Tammy Albers expressed appreciation to parents, local businesses, the Bawlf School staff and students for the help they have provided in purchasing video walls/scoreboards in the gymnasium, new monitors throughout the school that show schedules and student art work, as well as the creation of ball diamonds and soccer fields.

“BEST will continue to support the school,” said Albers. “It gives the parents a role in raising and directing funds for the success of our students.”

The new school is a Lead Silver Certified Site according to the Canada Green Building Council.

Chinook Honey Company receives Rural Champion Award

By Dan Jensen

Chinook Honey Company was the winner of the Rural Champion Award at the 15th annual Growing Rural Tourism Conference in Camrose.

“We work hard and receive little recognition so this is much appreciated,” said Chinook Honey Company owner Cherie Andrews, who accepted the award Feb. 24. “Most of all, I would just like to thank the honey bees. They are the source of it all.”

Chinook Honey Company has grown from 200 beehives and a tiny store in 2004 to include an arch meadery in 2008 and a Honey Bee Discovery Centre in 2014. The arch meadery won double gold at the All Canadian wine competition in 2013 and silver at the International Mazer Cup in 2014.

Chinook Honey Company was instrumental in helping create “Flavours of the Foothills,” a distinct group consisting of a guest ranch, a wild game producer, a black current grower, a tomato greenhouse, a salsa maker, the apiary and meadery.

Growing Rural Tourism Conference chair and award presenter Jennifer Filip said hard work and an entrepreneurial drive have made the Chinook Honey Company owners an exceptional example to other rural tourism operators.

“They not only attract young and old from the surrounding areas, but also a sophisticated clientele who come from far away as Japan and Korea to shop and sample the products from the rural yet elite enterprise,” said Filip.

Chinook Honey Company was one of three nominees for the award, along with Newell Regional Tourism Association and the Alberta Northern Rockies Tourism Alliance.

First established by the Brooks and District Chamber of Commerce in 2007, the Newell Regional Tourism Association, or NRTA, has created a comprehensive digital marketplace with website traffic increasing from just over 8,000 in 2012 to 2.7 million in 2014, the result of which has been increased attendance at hotels in the area.

In partnership with the Newell Regional Economic Development Association, NRTA was able to assist

operators, the ANRTA hopes to make the entire region prosper as a whole rather than as distinct and separate regions.

Filip said the number of nominations for the 2015 Growing Rural Tourism Rural Champion award exceeded expectations.

“The comprehensiveness of each of these submissions was astonishing.”

The Growing Rural Tourism Champion Award recognizes leadership, innovation and outstanding accomplishments in Alberta’s rural areas – through campaigns and projects that successfully promote their area as a must-see destination.

The award is sponsored by the Camrose Regional Exhibition, Alberta Agriculture, Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation and Travel Alberta. Nominations are open to all organizations or individuals in Alberta’s rural tourism industry.

The Clearview board of trustees had a regular board meeting on Feb 24.

Superintendent Peter Barron noted that the Project-Based Learning (PBL) training for teachers continued on Feb. 17 to 19, where 32 teachers and principals participated. Clearview Public Schools received many positive comments and words of appreciation from teachers participating in the learning. The next PBL training is set for April 7 to 9. There is also additional training prepared for the end of August and in October so virtually all staff is planned to have received this training.

Superintendent Barron shared how support staff enjoyed a good day of learning as well. Sessions for the day included Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, P ubl ic S c ho olWOR K S , Google and specific sessions for each employee group.

On March 9, board chair Cheri Neitz and superintendent Barron were to meet with the minister of education, along with other school boards to discuss education in Alberta and how the Clearview Public Schools is ensuring success for our students.

Barron will be attending the Rural Futures Conference, Teachers’ Convention and the CASS / Alberta Education Symposium.

Barron and Rob Rathwell, coordinator of administrative and instructional supports, presented a draft for the Education Plan for next year.

Highlighting the presentation was the action plan for education initiatives. The action plan outlines the strategies of Clearview Public Schools’ school principals and leadership in continuing our successes in learning for students. The action plan focuses on the Board’s priorities established in the fall of 2014.

The Education Plan will continue to be developed over the coming months and will be finalized in the fall of 2015 with the education results for the year.

Each year, the Alberta Government seeks confirmation on the capital needs of the school division, such as modernizations, right-sizing or new classroom spaces.

Based on the review of the current plan, the board of trustees confirmed with senior administration that they are committed to the priorities in the current capital plan. The current capital plan can be summarized as follows: modernization of the Stettler Complex (middle portion), including a larger gym space; two modular units for Gus Wetter School.

The 2015 Capital Plan will be submitted to the Alberta Education for their consideration, with the decision to proceed with the projects to be made by the Alberta Government.

County continues to fight for more RCMP officers

By Murray Green

Camrose County isn’t backing down on seeking more RCMP officers to provide a safer rural area.

The Camrose RCMP Detachment is limited to three members because of the number of caseloads for each officer. Right now the work load doesn’t warrant more officers.

“One of the things Cpl. Beth Philipp mentioned was that the statistics could be skewed because people often say why bother when reporting crimes.

If nobody complains, there is no problem,” said Reeve Don Gregorwich. “People don’t complain because they think it won’t do any good.”

“People don’t complain because they think it won’t do any good.”

–Reeve Don Gregorwich Councillor Doug Lyseng made a motion to seek an appointment with the RCMP at the spring convention of Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties March 16 to 18 and to search for more information on the caseload numbers.

“We decided to fund a half administration position last year. Maybe we should use that to say we need a fourth member and to ask for guarantee that member will stay here,” said councillor Trevor Miller.

‘My response is no.

I think it is a provincial responsibility and we should stay away from it,” added councillor Jack Lyle. “We could use more officers, but it’s not our responsibility.”

County administrator Paul King informed council that he thought Bashaw and Viking both have four officers.

“The RCMP have said no before, but maybe if we are persistent enough it might change their minds,” said councillor Lyseng.

“It doesn’t hurt to ask again,” concluded councillor Miller.

Tourism partners win big for entrepreneurial spirit

By Dan Jensen

Aspen Crossing collected a cheque for $10,000 and one year of mentoring from tourism experts as the winner of the Growing Rural Tourism Conference’s inaugural Entrepreneurial Challenge at Camrose Regional Exhibition.

“Our Aspen Country Railway will be offering 28 km round trips starting this May so this will definitely help,” said Aspen Crossing owner Jason Thornhill after accepting the cheque from Growing Rural Tourism Conference chair Jennifer Filip Feb. 24. “We drove the last spike for the railroad this past fall.”

A growing tourist destination just outside Mossleigh, Alberta that is known to its customers as the “oasis of the prairies,” Aspen Crossing showcases the century old connection between horticulture and the railroad. Attractions include a treed full service campground complete with caboose cabins, a restored 1887 Pullman railcar, which was once the private business car of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, a gift shop and a greenhouse.

The Growing Rural Tourism Entrepreneurial Challenge was designed to help tourism operators develop new products or experiences and grow their businesses.

“We followed the Dragon’s Den format and invited

businesses to submit their marketing plan so they could be judged,” explained Filip. “The three finalists were chosen based on the information in the applications and the business plans that were provided.”

Prairie Gardens and

Greenhouses, a working 35-acre family working farm 25 km north of the city of Edmonton placed second in the challenge and received a cheque for $6,000 plus one year of mentoring, while Flying Cross Ranch at Lacombe placed third and received

$4,000 plus one year of mentoring.

Judges for the final part of the Challenge were Student Life Network cofounder and Growing Rural Tourism speaker Stephen Stills, Travel Alberta vicepresident of community relations Wynn McLean

and Rural Alberta Business Centre small business advisor Louise Jones.

“I was blown away with the diversity of ideas, the relevance of the ideas and everyone’s passion,” said Sills. “There was so much feedback and so much connection amongst the ideas that were pitched and the people who were pitching them.”

The three finalists will be attending next year’s Growing Rural Tourism Conference to share first hand with industry colleagues the progress made in developing their rural tourism product or experience.

“I look forward to the momentum of this program continuing to help move the needle of growing rural tourism,” said Filip.

Sills believes the encouragement that business owners receive at the Growing Rural Tourism Conference is vital to their success.

“The conference is the perfect support system,” he said. “It tells people who have a business that they are going to be okay and if they fall down there will people to help them get back up again.”
