Edmonton – Christmas season is just aroundthe corner which means it’s also shopping sea-son. Alberta RCMP is reminding citizens to becautious while shopping online.
Cybercrime continues to grow and is definedas any instance where cyber (the Internet andinformation technologies) has a substantial rolein a criminal offence. It’s important to protectyour identity online by taking precautions suchas only visiting trusted websites and usingsecure networks for any financial transactions.Websites that use HTTPS rather than HTTP aremore secure because they encrypt sensitiveinformation.
Having a strong password is one of the easi-est things you can do to keep your informationsafe online. Change passwords often and use amix of upper and lowercase letters, numbersand symbols. Another important safeguard is toturn on your firewall.
Not only are adults the victims of cyber-crime, but children are as well. Parents arereminded to know which sites their kids visitand to educate them about staying safe online.
Here are some other tips to stay safe online:• Download apps from trusted sources• Avoid public Wi-Fi for banking and
financial transactions• Use a unique password for every social
media account• Back up important data• Be cautious when accessing unknown
website links or attachments• Delete suspicious emails• Don’t save credit card information on
websites• Watch credit card statements for any
unknown chargesIf you have been the victim of a cybercrime
and have provided personal or financial infor-mation, report this to local police, your bank,any companies where your identity may havebeen used, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Cen-tre. http://www.antifraudcentre-centrean-tifraude.ca/

Edmonton – Alberta RCMPare pleased to report that thethird quarter results for 2019continue to show an overallsteady decrease in property-related crime in Alberta since2017
This could not have beenaccomplished without thecontinued efforts of Albertansin securing their personalproperty and informing theirlocal police of suspiciousactivity and criminal offences.
In the past, we’ve heardthat people say they’venoticed an increase in crime,but that they aren’t reportingthe incidents. We rely on thedata and intelligence you pro-vide in your reports to knowwhere we are needed most.
Reports of crime or suspi-cious activity helps us allo-cate our resources: yourreports tell us where to look,who to look for, and where topatrol in the future.
Quotes:“Your calls for service to
the RCMP matter. Being ledby intelligence, like whereand when crime is happening,is key to the crime reduction
strategy for the Alberta
RCMP. This intelligence
weaves the different compo-
nents of our crime reduction
strategy into a shared goal of
community safety: from find-
ing the criminals that cause
the most harm, finding the
victims that need the most
support, and collaborating
with the right partners to keep
Albertans safe.

Sturgeon PublicSchoolssuperintendent MaryLynn Campbell chatswith breakfastvolunteer SturgeonCounty councillorPatrick Tighe duringthe Pembina PipelineCorporation andBreakfast Club ofCanada celebration oftheir $5 millionpartnership with abreakfast at BonAccord CommunitySchool Nov. 5.
The government hasintroduced the Disclosureto Protect Against Domes-tic Violence (Clare’s Law)Act to help save lives.
No one should ever faceabuse from their intimatepartner. But tragically,Alberta’s domestic vio-lence rates are unaccept-ably high – the third high-est in Canada. That’s whythe government is intro-ducing this important leg-islation to help individualsby empowering them withinformation about poten-tially dangerous partners.
“We campaigned on apromise to take domesticviolence in Alberta seri-ously. This legislation willbe a critical new tool tohelp those at risk of expe-riencing domestic violenceor facing abuse already byensuring they have accessto information about theviolent history of theirpartners. This is a firststep, not the last. We areproud to be keeping ourpromise to protect vulner-able people in ourprovince.”
Jason Kenney, Premier “Our government
believes it is crucial forpeople to have access tothis kind of information,particularly when lives areat stake. This law willenable people to see thefull history of criminalactivities from an intimatepartner so they are ablemake the best choices fortheir safety and beinformed about the poten-tial risks of a relation-ship.”
Rajan Sawhney, Minis-ter of Community andSocial Services
The right to askIf passed, the Disclosure
to Protect Against Domes-tic Violence (Clare’s Law)Act would implement newmeasures to empower at-risk individuals which canhelp prevent domestic vio-lence before it ever takesplace.
The proposed bill wouldhelp those at risk by giv-ing them new tools to findout if an intimate partnerhas a violent or abusivepast.
“This law will be animportant tool in breakingthe cycle of domestic vio-lence here in Alberta. Itgives people a greaterchance of safety from vio-lence by providing accessto resources and supportsthey might not knowabout.”
Andrea Silverstone,Sagesse
“With this law, we’rebeing given access to
information that couldhave direct impacts on ourlives. It’s empowering andgives us the freedom andknowledge to make ourown choices about ourown safety.”
Dianne Denovan,domestic violence survivor
The right to knowThe proposed act would
also grant new powers topolice so they can take aproactive approach to pre-venting domestic violence.Police would be able todisclose relevant informa-tion about past violent orcriminalbehaviours topeople atrisk.
“Safety isparamount.This lawcould savelives – itcould make aworld of dif-ference for somany vulner-able people.Those peoplehave a rightto know whatthe risks are.”
KristinRaworth,domestic vio-lence sur-vivor
Quick factsThe act
was modelledafter Clare’sLaw in theUnited King-dom, namedafter a youngwoman killedby an ex-boyfriendwith a historyof domesticviolence.
From 2008to 2017, therewere 166deaths inAlberta dueto domesticand familyviolence,according tothe FamilyViolenceDeathReview Com-mittee.

The province is standing up for ruralAlbertans by acting on concerns to detercrime, reinforce property rights and givevictims a stronger voice in the justice sys-tem.
Ministers Jason Nixon, Rick Wilsonand Doug Schweitzer announced furthersteps to combat rural crime, whichincludes expanded authorities and rolesfor Government of Alberta peace officersfrom the Fish and Wildlife EnforcementBranch, Commercial Vehicle EnforcementBranch and the Alberta Sheriffs.
“We are sending a strong signal to ruralAlbertans who have been victimized forfar too long. We have listened to you. Wehave heard you. And we are standing withyou. We want to ensure you know that weare going to do everything we can as aprovincial government to help you feelsafe in your communities.”
Doug Schweitzer, Minister of Justiceand Solicitor General
“In many ways, rural communities arethe heart of this province – hard-working,salt-of-the-earth, and always ready andwilling to lend a hand to a neighbour inneed. It’s heartbreaking to see the scourgeof criminal activity worsen in these com-munities over the past several years, andwe need to take action. This is an issuethat affects many in my own community,and it is one that I take very seriously. Aswe promised, our government is takingimmediate steps to make sure everyonefeels safe and secure in their homes and intheir communities.”
Jason Nixon, Minister of Environmentand Parks
Integrating provincial peace officersIn rural areas, police can be stretched
across large distances, which can lead tolonger response times. To help reduceresponse times, the government will cre-ate the Rural Alberta Provincial IntegratedDefence Force – the RAPID Force – byexpanding the roles and authorities of 400peace officers in the Fish and WildlifeEnforcement Branch, Commercial VehicleEnforcement Branch and the traffic armof the Alberta Sheriffs. The changes willallow these officers to respond to a widerrange of calls and to assist the RCMP and
other police services in some emergen-cies.
Training and related planning is under-way, to have the first of these officersavailable to assist rural Albertans by fall2020.

property owners, the government willintroduce changes to the Occupiers’ Lia-bility Act. These changes would elimi-nate the liability of law-abiding propertyowners who are protecting their propertyagainst trespasses who are, or who arebelieved to be, in the commission of acriminal act. This provision will beretroactive to Jan. 1, 2018.
To strengthen trespass laws and furtherdefend property rights, planned legislationincludes a proposed five-fold increase tothe maximum fines for trespassingoffences, with fines of up to $10,000 for afirst violation and $25,000 for subsequentoffences, as well as possible prison timeof up to six months. Corporations thathelp or direct trespassers would face finesup to $200,000. In addition to theseincreases, a proposed change wouldincrease the maximum amount a court canorder for loss of or damage to propertyfrom $25,000 to $100,000.
The planned legislation would amendthe Petty Trespass Act to add explicit ref-erences to better capture land used forcrops, animal-rearing and bee-keeping.
A proposed biose-curity regulationunder the AnimalHealth Act would cre-ate offences andpenalties for peoplewho enter agriculturaloperations withoutauthorization orencourage others todo so. Such incidentscan introduce diseaseand threaten the wel-fare of animals.
Cracking down onmetal theft
Government hasproclaimed the Scrap
Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identifica-tion Act to deter metal theft by making itmore difficult for criminals to monetizestolen material by selling it for scrap.
Metal theft is a significant public safetyrisk. Thieves terrify property owners bytrespassing and stealing materials such ascopper wire and industrial batteries andfrequently damage and interfere with criti-cal systems like electrical lines, telecom-munications cables and transportationinfrastructure.
Criminals often steal metal from prop-erty owners and critical infrastructure inisolated areas to avoid detection. This hasalso made rural Albertans a target of tres-passers and thieves looking for metal.
The Scrap Metal Dealers and RecyclersIdentification Act was passed in 2012, butnever proclaimed. An Order in Councilsigned Nov. 5 puts the legislation intoeffect immediately.
Regulations outlining requirements ondealers and recyclers to obtain proof ofidentification from sellers, record andretain details of transactions and shareinformation with law enforcement will bein place by spring 2020. There is also animmediate requirement for scrap metaldealers and recyclers to report any sus-pected stolen property in their possessionto authorities.
A new voice for victimsCommunity impact statements will rec-
ognize the far-reaching effects of a crime
and how an entire community can sufferharm or loss.
A new program will enable communi-ties to take part in the sentencing ofoffenders by letting them submit a state-ment describing how the crime has affect-ed the community as a whole – includingthe emotional, physical and economicimpact, or fears they may have for theirown security.
A community impact statement couldbe written on behalf of any group of peo-ple, such as those in a geographic area,diverse segments of the population, andgroups affected by the crime.
Community impact statement formswill be available online in early January.
There will also be additional supportfor victims, via a new Restitution Recov-eries Program. The program will help vic-tims collect outstanding payments onrestitution orders by giving governmentthe authority to use enforcement measuresagainst offenders, such as garnishingwages or seizing and selling property, asneeded.
This program will reduce red tape forvictims who would otherwise have to nav-igate the legal system and attempt to col-lect court-ordered restitution at their ownrisk, effort and expense.

Nettie & Family
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES PLAN TO COMBAT RURAL CRIME
Everyone gets angry sometimes, even small
children. But some children and teens have
so much trouble controlling their anger that
they shove, hit, or make fun of other people.
This causes them trouble at home and at
school. They often have a hard time making
friends. And their aggression makes
parenting them a challenge.
Aggression is any behaviour that hurts other
people. It can be physical—hitting or
pushing—or verbal, such as name-calling.
How can you prevent aggression in your
child?
• Set rules and consequences
• Make house rules for your family. Let your
child know the consequences (such as loss
of certain privileges) for not following the
rules.
• If you say you will take away a privilege,
do it. It can be hard to follow through when
your child says he or she is sorry. But your
child needs to know you mean what you
say.
• Create a chart with rules and chores for
younger children. Your child can earn stars
or other stickers for completed chores or
good behaviour. These stars can be turned
in for privileges, such as more play time or
a game night with the family.
Create empathy
• Ask your child how he or she would feel if
someone pushed him or her on the
playground.
• Read stories to young children about a
child coping with a problem in a positive
way.
• When reading with your child or watching
a TV show, ask what was good about a
character's behaviour, and what was not
good. What could the character have done
differently to make a better choice?
Model good behaviour
• Teach toddlers not to hit or bite others.
Gently pull your child away and say "no"
firmly.
• Use your own behaviour to show your child
how to act. Try not to yell when correcting
your child's behaviour.
• Catch your child being good. Praise your
child when he or she handles conflict in a
positive way or shows empathy for others.
• Involve your child in a sport. Or help your
child find a hobby or social activity to
share with other kids.
• Encourage your child's friendships with
nonaggressive peers. Even one friend who
is a positive role model can help a child
feel accepted and make good choices.

HELPING YOUR CHILD DEAL WITH AGGRESSION
This important program encouragesinvestment, diversifies the economyand creates jobs for Albertans.
It supports privately funded large-scale projects by providing royaltycredits to companies that build facili-ties to turn ethane, methane andpropane feedstocks into productssuch as plastics, fabrics and fertiliz-ers. Royalty credits are issued onceprojects become operational.
“Albertans elected our governmentto fight for our energy sector and getAlbertans back to work. We promisedAlbertans that we would respectagreements made under the Petro-chemicals Diversification Programand look at extending the royalty taxcredit model to incent future proj-ects.”
Sonya Savage, Minister of Energy
Round 2 of the program was origi-nally announced in 2018. Of the $1.1billion committed, only $150 millionhad been confirmed to date, withdecisions on other applications onhold. By confirming this commit-ment, government will now resumeits consideration of current submittedapplications.
“Downstream chemical and petro-chemical production and operationsare a significant contributor to Alber-ta’s economy, and the sector contin-ues to play an important role inattracting investment to Alberta.We’re acting on the Natural GasAdvisory Panel’s recommendation toencourage petrochemical develop-ment, and I’m confident this programwill further restore Alberta’s reputa-tion with investors as a good place to
do business.”Dale Nally, Associate Minister of
Natural Gas “Alberta is an ideal location for
investors who are interested in takingadvantage of Alberta’s vast energyresources to build new petrochemicalplants. In addition to having attractivefeedstock and utility costs, Alberta ishome to a highly skilled workforceand has access to international mar-kets for high-value petrochemicalproducts.”
David Chappell, chair, ResourceDiversification Council
Through this program, governmentis keeping its promise to implementrecommendations from the NaturalGas Advisory Panel. The recommen-dations include encouraging in-demand Alberta projects via royalty
and investment credits and continuingexisting value-add initiatives.
The province is discontinuing thePetrochemicals Feedstock Infrastruc-ture Program and the Partial Upgrad-ing Program. These programs rely ongrants and loan guarantees, and carrya higher financial risk to government– and ultimately, to Albertans.
In addition, the province will notcontinue with the request for propos-als for refinery projects, which wouldhave also included potential govern-ment support.
Since May 2019, government hastaken a series of actions to encourageinvestment in Alberta, including can-celling the provincial carbon tax,reducing the corporate tax rate,reducing red tape and passing theRoyalty Guarantee Act.

Food is an important part of manyholiday celebrations with family andfriends. The foods served at these timescan be higher in calories, fat, and/orsugar. It is also easy to overeat whenthere is a lot of food around. As aresult, people may gain weight over theholidays.With a little planning, you can makehealthy food choices and still enjoyholiday celebrations.
Holiday eating tips:
Limit appetizers It is easy to eat a fullmeal's worth of calories fromappetizers alone. For example, twochicken wings, two sausage rolls, andone mini quiche have the same caloriesas a healthy meal. Choose a few itemsthat you enjoy, and leave the rest. Visitwith friends away from the appetizer orfood table. Drink water or chew gumto help avoid mindless eating.
Build a healthy plate You can enjoyholiday foods without giving uphealthy eating. Try to make a healthyplate, even at a party. • Start with a smaller plate, if possible,
to help you keep your portionssmaller.
• Fill at least ½ of your plate withvegetables and fruit. They are high infibre so they keep you full longer.They are also lower in calories.
• Fill ¼ of your plate with grains.Choose whole grains more often (forexample, brown rice, whole wheatpasta).
• Fill ¼ of your plate with meat or
alternatives. Make healthy choices
such as fish, lean cuts of meat, or
meat alternatives (beans, lentils or
tofu).
• Take charge in the kitchen Do
yourself and your guests a favour by
making a few healthy changes when
preparing foods by:
• Cutting back on the number of dishes
you serve
• Reducing the fat, salt, and sugar in
your favourite and new recipes
• Choosing healthier cooking methods,
such as baking and grilling with little
or no added fat
• Making enough to last the holiday not
longer
Offer your guests tasty, healthy
snacks
• Open-faced mini sandwiches on
whole grain bread
• Peeled, unbreaded shrimp with
cocktail sauce
• Reduced fat cheese and whole grain
crackers
• Vegetables and dips such as hummus
or tzatziki

All babies cry. It is how they tell you they
need something. A crying baby may:
• Be hungry or gassy
• Have a wet or soiled diaper
• Be sick or in pain
• Be lonely.
Sometimes babies just need to cry and may
cry for no apparent reason. Sometimes
babies can’t stop crying no matter what you
do.
When this happens, feeling frustrated is
normal. Never shake a baby for any reason.
Having a plan to cope with crying can help.
Here are some ideas to try:
• Check with a healthcare pro?vider? to see
if your baby is sick or in pain?
• Check what your baby may need. Are
they hungry, wet, bored?
• Feed your baby slowly and burp them
often
• Change your baby’s diaper
• Take your baby for a walk
• Play soothing music
• Run the vacuum
• Gently massage your baby’s tummy or
back
• Snuggle your baby against your chest
• Gently rock your baby
• Sing, read or talk softly
• Put your baby in a baby swing
• Give your baby a warm bath
• Encourage your baby to suck a soother
• Cut down the noise and light around your
baby.

SOOTHE A CRYING BABY
If you haven’t personally had a fall or fall-related injury, you likely know of at leastone colleague, family member or friendwho has. It’s fairly well known that as people getolder, they are at an increased risk for falls,but did you know that middle-aged adults(aged 45 to 64) are also falling? Here are a few surprising Alberta statistics:• Almost 40,000 middle-aged adults sought
emergency treatment for a fall-relatedinjury in 2018.
• Of those, the most common reason for afall injury was a slip or trip on the samelevel (14,436 injuries). Falls related to iceand snow came in second place (8,500injuries).
• From 2008 to 2018 there has been a 28.5per cent increase in middle-aged fall-injuries that require urgent treatment, withfractures being the most common injury.
• It’s not just the older adults and youngchildren who are at risk of falls. Middle-aged Albertans are also falling, secondonly to seniors.
Why, you might ask?• Physical deterioration, including a loss of
muscle mass and balance, begins aroundage 45, particularly in women.
The good news is that we can take action
sooner to prevent falls and reduce our risk
of injury now, and as we age.
What can we do about it?
• Be active
• Build strength
• Work on our balance
• Target lower limb muscle strength using
resistance training and weight bearing
activities
• Maintain bone health through exercise
and a calcium-rich diet.
There are many great physical activities
which support bone health and challenge
balance and build strength. Some
indoor/outdoor activities to consider this
winter include: resistance training, Tai Chi,
yoga, Nordic walking, swimming, pickle
ball, exercise classes, biking, snow shoeing,
and cross-country skiing.
If you are concerned about falling or you
are noticing changes in mobility, talk to
your health provider about finding some
strategies to help you build your strength
and confidence so that you can stay active.
