New fire services collective agreement ready for Lamont County officials to sign Michelle Pinon Editor

Elected officials with Lamont County will be signing off on a new fire services agreement with the municipalities of Bruderheim, Lamont, Mundare and Andrew on Tuesday, Feb. 16.

Randy Siemens, Lamont County Fire Chief and Emergency Services Co-ordinator, said the time was right, and that all parties bought into the concept which covers all aspects

of fire operations and will save each municipality money by having the county in charge of training, equipment, budgeting, and payouts to firefighters. Siemens explained that all of the municipalities will retain their own fire stations and pay for utilities, but the county will look after all aspects of fire operations. He also pointed out that no money will be changing hands, but would cut down on the time and money spent on administration.

Sandi Maschmeyer, Chief Administrative

Officer (CAO), for the Town of Lamont, said that while there will be no changes in fire service to residents, there will be financial savings to the town, roughly estimating a yearly savings of $40,000. While the agreement was not without many meetings, emails, and wording revisions, the agreement will benefit everyone involved.

All departments will have the same level of training as well. “The excitement is building.

Fire chiefs have all bought into it and the county was very recep-

tive to the changes.”

Lamont Fire Chief John Helton stated, “This agreement has taken many hours of work and dedication by those involved to get a good agreement completed.”

Helton said training will be completed in the same way that has been happening for the last couple of years and will be under the direction of the county. He added that the town will see a cost saving, and residents should see no different services than are provided currently.

Bruderheim Mayor

Karl Hauch stated the agreement is: “Truly a great work of collaboration with Lamont County showing remarkable leadership in drawing all parties to the table into a historic agreement that is a Win-Win for all.

Congratulations to every municipality that has demonstrated a sincere willingness to come to a mutually beneficial agreement.”

Hauch noted the agreement also allows each fire department to maintain its rich history and heritage.

Bruderheim CAO Patty Podoborozny said,

“This agreement will ensure that our residents continue to receive the top notch service our fire department has consistently provided.

Potentially, this agreement will allow our fire department to reach an even higher level of standards, to build on the outstanding service the department currently provides.”

Two bull riding events to be held in Lamont this spring

By Michelle Pinon Editor Two local bull riding events will be held back to back this April.

The first event, titled the Young Money Cattle Company Invitational, hosted by Lamont Professional Bull Riders will be held on Friday, April 15 at the Lamont Recreation Centre starting at 7p.m. The second event, Bullarama Supreme, hosted by the Lamont & District Agricultural Society, will be held on Saturday, April 23 at the new Conrad Schinkinger Memorial Grounds near Lamont.

Kyle Wallgren, co-owner of the Young Money Cattle Company, raises rodeo stock and confirmed during a telephone interview that the April 15 bull riding event was a go. “We decided to do this on our own,” referring to himself and his wife Shawnene. “We raised the money ourselves and put up the money to host the event.”

Wallgren, who produced last year’s Bullarama Supreme for the Lamont & District Agricultural Society under the banner IYI Productions, said this will be the first time a PBR sanctioned event will be held in Lamont.

After last year’s Bullarama, Wallgren said they had received a lot of compliments by attendees, and he wanted to find a way to give that experience back again to the community. Wallgren pointed out that he didn’t want to host the event outdoors, but he did want to host the event earlier in the season so the bull riders could earn points towards the world finals. He applied for, and was accepted to host the event.

He added that the bull riders will be the best in the world and come from all over the world to compete in the event.

They will be able to accept 24 contestants, with the top 12 riders making the short round. Freestyle bull fighting is

one of the fastest growing sports, and Wallgren said there will be three competitors in that event which will be held during intermission. There will be a beer garden for adults, and the featured entertainers will be Ain’t No Rodeo, following the bull riding event.

Wallgren wanted to make one thing clear, and that is that the Town of Lamont has nothing to do with the PBR, and only agreed to sell tickets on their behalf. Sandi Maschmeyer, Chief Administrator of the Town of Lamont, confirmed that the town had booked the space and rented out the facility to Wallgren for the event. Maschmeyer said the town also agreed to sell tickets for the event, just like it has done in the past for a variety of different user groups and events. She also said the town has never received a letter from Wallgren asking for financial support.

Rebecca Joseph, chair of the Bullarama committee for the Lamont & District Agricultural Society, told the Lamont Leader, she found out about the other bull riding event on Facebook on Feb. 1st. Joseph said she was shocked to see the posting, and said the biggest concern would be attendance given the timing of the other bull riding event being held so close to the ag. society’s bull riding event.

The ag. society bull riding event will be held outside at the new ag. grounds on April 23rd with a tentative start time of 6p.m. Joseph said the Lamont Bullarama is a fully sanctioned event by the Bull Riders of Canada. “So we have the full support from them. We are their biggest event, and they are excited, so are the bull riders. We anticipate a full compliment of bull riders with the added payout by the ag. society.” Altogether, she anticipates 30 bull riders to compete for prize money.

In terms of the weather, Joseph said the event will be held no matter what

A severe windstorm wreaked havoc on the Alberco Construction site north of Highway 15 in the Village of Chipman on Saturday. Scaffolding on the structure was damaged substantially. The company has been constructing the new booster pumping station for the John S. Batiuk Water Commission in recent months.

Mother Nature decides on April 23rd.

Provision will be made for a covering over top the stands, and propane heaters will be working to keep attendees warm.

“It will definitely be a different event in a new venue, but we are confident in our ability to provide the same high level of entertainment that Lamont residents have come to expect from our event.”

The committee has been planning for several months to be able to uphold the reputation they have come to be accountable to. “We owe it to our founding fathers of the event to continue forward by working with our new venue. The society has 22 years of experience under our belts, and we have no reason to believe that this year will be any different, except perhaps you might need to wear a thicker jacket.”

Through hosting the Bullarama and other fundraising events, the society has donated over $400,000 for the community over several years. Projects

supported by the society include: the boards at the hockey arena, various pieces of medical equipment at the hospital, support of local firefighters initiatives, and 4-H support. “The ag. society is committed to supporting agricultural ventures that provide our community a synergy of pride, purpose, and presence. We are proud to partner with fellow community organizations to ensure that our small community remains viable for generations to come.”

Wallgren said he and his wife were members of the ag. society, but were not on board with the event being held outside as it would be too great a risk on the company. Joseph did verify that Kyle and Shawnene were members of the ag. society, but resigned one day after the society’s annual general meeting which was held on Dec. 5. Joseph said they did receive a formal letter from the Wallgren’s stating they were no longer members of the society on Dec. 6, 2015.

Opinion NDP Royalty Review Might Be Okay On May 5, 2015, the Alberta NDP won a surprisingly large majority government.

One of the key planks to their campaign platform was an assertion that Albertans were not getting their “fair share” of resource royalties and promised that, if elected, they would make it right.

Our PC team warned the NDP that a royalty review would bring instability and uncertainty to an already suffering energy industry and contribute to the loss of thousands of jobs and billions in investment. This was particularly true when layered on top of increased corporate tax rates and a promised remake of the energy regulator. The government ignored our pleas along with those of economists, industry experts, municipalities, and regular Alberta families dependant on paycheques either directly or indirectly from the industry, and went ahead with the review. Jobs evaporated and investment went away as the review dragged on for over 8 months causing maximum damage to Alberta’s reputation and economy. To be

Ric McIver clear, the price of oil is not the government’s fault, but eroding industry confidence through poor economic policy is.

The review panel, led

by Dave Mowat of Alberta Treasury Branches, listened to a wide variety of voices in an open and transparent engagement process. I attended one meeting with hundreds of Albertans participating. The dialogue from the public was respectful and I thought the answers from the panel members were very thoughtful. These panel members courageously made recommendations in the long-term interest of Alberta, and I compliment the Premier for accepting those recommendations. It was without a doubt the right thing to

do.

My optimism however, is tempered with skepticism. Even on the day Premier Notley announced the results of the royalty review, she answered a question from the media by saying: “this is not the time for a cash grab.”

The obvious question to follow might be “when will the cash grab take place?” On the same day, when the Finance Minister was asked if he would consider raising royalties when the price or oil recovers, he would not rule it out. This casts doubt on how long their good decision will last. To build confidence and stability within the industry, the Premier and Finance Minister must confirm that the decision made last week on royalties has staying power.

Only then will we be able to send the message that Alberta is once again open for investment and a good place to hire and retain well-paid employees.

The Lamont Leader would like to retract a quote that appeared in the ‘Andrew Sport Off cancelled’ article which appeared in the Feb. 2nd edition. In the second paragraph it stated that: During village council’s Jan. 13 meeting Mayor Heather Tait told members the annual event has been cancelled. The quotation, “I was just advised of that today,”

was not in reference to the Sport Off per se, but another letter that she had received. In actual fact, there was a fleeting discussion regarding Babas and Borshch, at that time. The Leader apologizes to Mayor Heather Tait for the grievous error.

It should also be noted that in the official Nov. 16 council meeting minutes under ‘New Business’ that

there was a letter from the Andrew Agriculture Society regarding the cancellation of Sport Off weekend and that they will be focusing their attention on the annual Garlic Fest. Coun.

Feniak made the motion to accept Mrs. Hrehorets e-mail advising us there will be no Sport Off in 2016.

New fire services agreement hits a positive note Continued from Page 1 All Lamont County fire departments are brought together under this agreement, and each department will maintain its identity, history, and heritage. The outcome will be a consistent and professional level of service across the county, and many opportunity to pool resources. We will have more purchasing power and efficiency as a whole.”

Her sentiments were echoed by Lamont County CAO Robyn Singleton. He said everything would be uniform

and consistent across the county, and would offer better controls on the operational side and save money. “It will be easier to put together a long term purchase plan, and resources would be readily available to train firefighters and spread their skill sets around.

Mundare Mayor Charlie Gargus commented, “Certainly, there will be some changes as the fire service evolves under the new agreement. I am confident that all parties will work cooperatively toward the goal of providing the

best fire service for the best possible price.

Current levels of service provided by Mundare Fire & Rescue will not change and the Mundare Fire Department will continue to be a strong and positive force in our community.”

Mundare CAO Colin Zyla said, “I am pleased with the new fire agreement, as it allows the town to continue to provide the same level of fire services at the most economical cost for our residents. I would like to express my thanks to Robyn Singleton, Randy

Siemens and County staff for the work they put into the negotiation and drafting of the agreement.”

Mundare Fire Chief Glenda Dales is also in favour of the agreement.

While there has always been a cost sharing for training, equipment and services, with municipalities and county working together. Now the county will be in charge of all of the above with feedback from all the departments. This way it ensures that all the departments have equal opportunities for train-

ing, etc.”

Village of Andrew Mayor stated, “As a municipality we have embraced the partnership with Lamont County Emergency Services Agreement as an asset and source of inspiration to provide a cohesive and efficient emergency response service, with leadership, teamwork, professionalism, trust and respect.

The Village of Andrew is equipped for emergency response to protect, life, property and environment for all citizens within the Village of

Andrew and Lamont County.”

Village of Andrew CAO Pat Skoreyko said the agreement will result in increased efficiency in service delivery and costs, strong internal controls such as training, and better utilization of resources.

“From a municipal perspective, liability is always of the utmost concern to ensure that the training and equipment requirements are met or exceed the level of service provided.”

From Where I Sit: New 3 R’s

By Hazel Anaka It is not at all easy for a Type A personality to relax…though I am trying. And perhaps getting better. This column is being written in a rental

house in Rancho Mirage, California. The fact there is more of the vacation gone than remaining is sad. Real life has a way of intruding even in dreams.

Roy and I are in a casita (guesthouse) attached to a three thousand square foot house.

Sharing all that space are our kids, daughter-inlaw, her mother, and two grandsons. The property has a large grassy area, swimming pool, hot tub, putting green, outdoor fireplace, fire pit, and a couple of patio seating areas. There are a total of nine patio doors. With all that space, each person has as much or little pri-

vacy as they wish.

The weather in this desert area adjacent to Palm Springs at this time of year is typically low seventies Fahrenheit during the day and cool at night. A freaky windstorm with rain assaulted us one day. Thanks El Nino. We can’t imagine anyone living here in summer.

In the past, shopping at the Desert Hills Premium Outlet Mall at Cabazon was a big thrill.

Checking out Target, Marshalls, TJ Maxx was fun. Now those stores are either operating in Canada or died trying.

Checking out Kohl’s and Steinmart this trip drew

mixed reviews. Casting a pall over the whole shopping experience is the dreadful exchange rate on our Canadian dollar. But, we are powering through it like real troopers.

The other challenge with such a large and diverse age group is accommodating each other’s interests and needs. Patience and remembering we have all the time in the world helps. Early bedtimes (and equally early rising) for the kids cramp any wild nightlife. The swimming pool provides hours of entertainment for those who love the water.

Unfortunately,

ATCO Energy Company launched C A L G A R Y — (Marketwired - Feb. 3) ATCO today announced the launch of ATCOenergy, a new electricity and natural gas retail company that promises Albertans outstanding service and lower costs for their homes and businesses.

“I believe this is a positive day for ATCO and for Albertans,” said Nancy Southern, ATCO Chair, President & Chief Executive Officer.

“ATCO is showcasing our commitment to this province by investing in a new Alberta company, creating new jobs and lowering electricity and natural gas costs at a time when all Albertans need lower costs.”

“ATCOenergy is our opportunity to invest in our own province: Albertans helping Albertans,” added Ms. Southern. “Founded in this province nearly 70 years ago, ATCO continues to strive to bring true value and real savings to Albertans and our customers across the province.”

16021TA0

that’s not this kid.

I packed a few books, laptop, and some good intentions. I wanted to get some extra work done if I had time and desire. Running counter to that is the theory I need to learn to just chill.

Hmmm. It is a moment by moment decision.

Today I checked out the Book Store at the Rancho Mirage Library.

Incredible. With prices ranging from twentyfive cents to a dollar, it doesn’t make sense to pack books from home.

Trade paperbacks are three for two dollars. The non-fiction books are sorted by category. CDs, DVDs, and audio books

round out the offerings.

The books are donated and the operation staffed by volunteers. Just outside its door is a small coffee shop with artisanal bread and baked goods for sale. With Roy sitting in the car, I didn’t linger. Plunked my seventy-five cents down and left with two books.

The biggest challenge, always, is cutting myself some slack. Anything extra I did was a bonus.

Anything not done will keep until I return refreshed, relaxed, rejuvenated. The new 3 R’s from where I sit.

RCMP make arrests in two outstanding cases According to Fort Saskatchewan RCMP, William Joseph SHEPPARD, age 32, wanted for Criminal Code of Canada Charges such as, Breach of Probation, Uttering Death Threats and Violation of an Emergency Protection Order, has been arrested.

After a brief stand-off with Camrose Police Services, SHEPPARD surrendered to police.

SHEPPARD will remain in custody until he appears in court on these matters.

The Fort Saskatchewan RCMP would like to thank the Camrose Police Service, the media and members of the public for their assistance with the peaceful resolution to this matter.

Vegreville RCMP reported that a Calmararea couple have been arrested and are facing charges for passing over 40 bad cheques throughout the province. The total dollar amount of goods obtained by this couple is in excess of $33,000.

As a result of these

Certified Seed For Sale Wheat: CWRS - AC Stettler - Excellent yield with better protein & grade retention than Superb - AAC Brandon - improved FHB resistance - limited quantities CWSWS - AC Andrew - in demand by ethanol industry Yellow Peas: CDC Meadow - Sold Out

arrests, and the couple being identified, more reports are coming to various police agencies across the province. This is occurring as cheques are being returned to numerous businesses across Alberta as there are insufficient funds in the account on which they were written. It is expected that the number of offences reported and the total dollar amount of the fraudulent transactions will continue to grow.

Virginia and Daryl WALLIS of Leduc

County have been arrested and charged in this matter. At this time, they remain in custody. First appearance in court for both will be in Leduc Provincial Court on Wednesday February 4, 2016.

RCMP would like to thank the public for the information received.

RCMP would also like to remind businesses across the province to take the appropriate precautions to ensure they are protected from being victimized in similar offences in the future.

Hitchin’ to Ride Slim Moorehouse Style

Michelle Pinon Editor

History will come to life during this year’s Calgary Stampede parade when Neil Dimmock and his son Derek will be recreating a record breaking heavy wagon haul with 36 Percheron horses and 10 grain tanks that was done by Slim Moorehouse in 1925.

“He set a world record for the longest hitch,” said Dimmock, that was approximately 350 feet. “He hauled 1,477 bushels of wheat in the grain wagons.”

Moorehouse drove the hitch from Gleichen to Calgary. Dimmock said it took about a week to complete the trek as the horses could only travel between 10 and 15 miles per day.

“This testament to Slim’s driving ability and the historic significance of the hitch, both with the amount of horses and the length of the hitch...”

Dimmock has been raising, training, showing, and selling Percherons for 25 years, and he has several records of his own. The fourth generation teamster previously drove a 30 horse hitch in Irricana in 1999, and a 46 horse hitch in Mundare in 2003 to earn the World Record Percheron Hitch.

Also to his credit, Dimmock used his horses and restored horse machinery to build a half mile of road at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin during the HCEA show in 2005.

Dimmock said he will start training the horses in spring, to build up

the horses’ stamina and fine tune their skills to work together in order to achieve this feat. “An undertaking of this magnitude will take time, commitment and resources, by people and horses and financial commitment by sponsors and advertisers so that we can bring this piece of history for everyone to enjoy.”

He estimates that it will take many hours to train the horses, rebuild the wagons, and raise funds, awareness, and support for his dream to become reality. Dimmock said he is very fortunate to have the support of his friend Bill Engman, as well as wife Kim, daughter Dara, son Derek, and mother Joan. He is also counting on support from friends, members of the horse community, as well as agricultural organizations along the way.

“We need small and big time sponsors,” added Dimmock, who is starting a letter writing campaign.

Dimmocks’s Facebook site, “Draft Horse Friends”, currently has more than 36,000 followers, and continues to grow at a fast pace since its inception three years ago. He has produced 130 YouTube training videos, and says members from all parts of the world drop in online to learn the techniques. About a yearand-a-half ago Dimmock was contacted by a TV producer who is interested in filming a documentary of the historic event. Even though it

hasn’t been finalized, Dimmock is very excited about the prospect of reaching a broader audience.

Dimmock calculates it will cost around $500,000 in order to pull it all off. While the goal seems daunting at times, Dimmock appears to have the calm demeanour and willingness to make this once in a lifetime adventure one unforgettable ride.

“We wanted a proper salute to Slim, and to promote the breed and salute agriculture,” stated Dimmock.

He also wants to get a truer picture of Slim’s life, from childhood up, and to that end, he and Engman will be traveling to meet some of Slim’s children in McBride, B.C. Dimmock also says he wants to recreate the ride to keep it from becoming a dying art, and hopes to pass on as much knowledge and hands on training as possible in the coming months to his 12-year-old son and other youth and adults who will be participating in the process and historic event itself which promises to be nothing short of remarkable.

LHS curling teams off to zone playdowns Michelle Pinon Editor

Experience and enthusiasm are two of the many assets members of the Lamont High School’s (LHS) curling teams have in abundance, and have proven valuable since the junior and senior curling programs resumed this winter.

For the girls team of Delina-Rae Wilchak, Shaelyn Whiting, Alisha Moser, and Ainsley Lopushinsky, they have well over 30 years of combined experience, which has definitely aided them on the ice this season.

For the boys team of Zach Akitt, Nicholas Zachoda, Landon Zabel, and Carson Schickerowsky, enthusiasm has buoyed them since they began playing together this past December.

The teams practice out of the Lamont Curling Club twice a week and also play in the club’s recreational league to build on their skills, experience, and confidence. Both teams have made it into the Northeast Zone playdowns that will take place in St. Paul on Feb. 19 and 20.

Coach Cory Kokotailo

said, “The girls team has vast curling experience, all coming from great local curling families which fuels their passion to play. They demonstrate a love for the game and have well advanced skills and strategic play; they are a pleasure to work with.”

He went on to say, “The boys team is young, and as such, their learning curve is steep.

They have made great strides in their game play this season. They too, have great skills as well. The junior curling club, operated by the Lamont Curling Club, has developed some great players and we are lucky enough to be able to have them represent Lamont High.”

It has been four years since LHS has had high school curling teams, and Kokotailo is looking forward to putting our curling product back on display at the high school level competition.

“We have a rich history of curling at Lamont High and hope to be able to rekindle that fire and keep it burning for many years to come. The Lamont Curling Club has developed these great, young curlers and we owe it to them to exhibit that talent at the zones, and hopefully, provincial level.

Minister Jim Carr Meets with Alberta’s Business Community CALGARY, Feb. 5, 2016 /CNW The Honourable Jim Carr, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, today discussed challenges and opportunities facing the oil and natural gas industry at an event hosted by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce.

Minister Carr heard about the challenges persistent low oil and natural gas prices present to businesses and communities, and he outlined the federal government’s plan to modernize and restore public trust in the way Canada reviews and assesses major resource projects.

He also talked about the joint federal–provincial action announced on February 3, 2016, by Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Notley, which focused on three principal areas: jobs and the economy, clean growth and climate change, and energy infrastructure and market access.

Minister Carr outlined the importance of clean technology investments and innovation in achieving provincial and federal commitments on climate change. This includes supporting development and application of clean technology in traditional resource industries such as oil sands, mining and forestry.

His talk emphasized the importance of energy market access to Alberta and the entire country, and the need for both levels of government to work together with other provincial, territorial, municipal and Indigenous leaders.

“The governments of Alberta and Canada share common goals and principles around energy market access, and I am looking forward to working togeth-

er with other provincial, territorial, municipal and Indigenous leaders to find solutions,” said Minister Carr. “Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan is laudable.

It provides needed context to oil sands development and could help to serve as a platform for federal–provincial engagement as we begin to incorporate greenhouse gas assessments into major project reviews.”

Finally, the Minister talked about Canada joining Mission Innovation, a global partnership aimed at doubling government investment in clean energy

innovation over five years. The Government of Canada will also invest in innovation and the use of clean technologies in the natural resource sectors.

Mission Innovation and greater continental focus on climate change and energy collaboration is on the agenda February 11 and 12, when Minister Carr hosts his U.S. and Mexico counterparts, Secretary Moniz and Secretary Joaquín Coldwell, in Winnipeg, for the North American Energy Ministers Meeting.

Lopetinsky named industry innovator by Alberta Pulse Growers Association

When is the best time to pre-plan your funeral?

Funeral Home and Crematorium The best time to begin making your prearrangements is NOW, while you’re thinking about it.

By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you’ll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional distress. This checklist will help you make sure every detail is tended to: 1) 2)

PHOTO COURTESY OF JENN WALKER

Ken Lopetinsky, esteemed pulse researcher, who was born and raised on a mixed livestock and grain farm near Star, was recently presented with the Alberta Pulse Industry Innovator Award. Pictured from left to right: Allison Ammeter, Chair of the Alberta Pulse Growers, Zone 3 chair Rick Mueller, and Ken Lopetinsky.

The Alberta Pulse Growers (APG) selected esteemed pulse researcher Ken Lopetinsky as the winner of the second annual Alberta Pulse Industry Innovator Award.

“Each year APG recognizes a person whose progressive thinking and tireless efforts helped build Alberta’s pulse industry into the flourishing industry that it is today,” said APG Chair Allison Ammeter.

“I cannot think of a more deserving recipient for the award to be bestowed upon during the International Year of Pulses than Ken Lopetinsky. He is considered one of the fathers of Western Canada’s modern day field pea industry, and influenced many of the researchers who continue to develop improved pulse genetics.”

Lopetinsky was raised on a mixed livestock and grain farm near Star, AB. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with distinction in 1973 at the University of Alberta, he joined Alberta Agriculture as a District Agriculturist, and later as Forage and Special Crops Specialist, Pulse and Special Crops Specialist, and Pulse Research Agronomist until his retirement in 2008.

In 1976, Lopetinsky received education leave and completed his Master of Agriculture

(soil science) in 1977. In 1983, Lopetinsky became involved with the Alberta Pulse Growers Association, which later became the Alberta Pulse Growers Commission.

Throughout his career, Lopetinsky worked closely with producers, industry representatives and other researchers on applied research projects including field pea and faba bean variety development, fertilization, herbicides, seeding depth, land rolling, crop rotations, direct seeding, and the value of pulse crops in rotation. He coauthored and co-edited the publication “Pulse Crops in Alberta,” which was awarded a certificate of excellence by the American Society of Agronomy.

Lopetinsky mentored numerous agrologists over the course of his career, and many still work in the industry today. Lopetinsky said that he was honoured to

learn that he was chosen as the recipient of the second annual Industry Innovator Award sponsored by ATB Financial.

“I am surprised and humbled to receive this award,” Lopetinsky said.

“I have to give a lot of credit to the team over the years because it has been said that ‘you’re only as good as your team’.

The pulse industry came through with full support, and that was very, very rewarding.”

The Alberta Pulse Growers Commission represents 5,000 growers of field pea, dry bean, lentil, chickpea, faba bean and soybean in Alberta.

Their vision is to have Alberta pulses recognized by consumers as environmentally friendly, healthy, nutritious, and recognized by all producers as being an essential element in a sustainable cropping system.

During these consultations, content and details of employment standards, labour relations and occupational health and safety regulations will be discussed and developed, as they relate to farms and ranches with paid nonon family employees.
