Full house at opening ceremonies of Last Chance Mixed Bonspiel Michelle Pinon Editor

The 25th edition of the Last Chance Mixed Bonspiel wrapped up April 7 in Lamont.

The five day event featured 88 teams, 352 curlers, 168 games, 1,342 ends played, and 21,504 rocks thrown.

Statistics aside, it was a highly memorable event because of the organizers, sponsors, curlers, volunteers and fans who participated in the bonspiel that was hosted by the Lamont Curling Club.

One of the highlights of the event was the appearance of world champion curlers, David and Heather Nedohin, who participated in the

celebrity mini-game during the opening ceremonies on Friday evening. Emcee for the ceremonies was CFCW radio host Jackie Rae Greening, who brought her own charming brand of humour and excitement to the affair, and delighted the fans who had packed into the arena for the extravaganza.

The ceremonies got underway shortly after 8 p.m. The contigent of special guests and dignitaries were led by Neil Wong and Nick Sharp, members of the Pipes and Drums Edmonton Transit System (ETS).

They were followed by Cst. Curtis Huculak and Cst. Janet Sanders of the

Fort Saskatchewan RCMP Detachment.

Robert Cuthill, Ed Medynski, Claude Campeau and Orest Stocki of the Knights of Columbus Council #3045 followed behind them.

Other special guests in the procession included: former Premier Ed Stelmach and his wife Marie, Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski and councillor Dennis McCartney, and collegiate curling champion Kenton Maschmeyer.

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske was followed by Town of Lamont Mayor Bill Skinner who was accompanied by councillors Steve Sharun, Wayne Field, Mike Brown, and

Gail Hrehorets.

Members of the Lamont Curling Club organizing committee were: Sandi and Gerald Maschmeyer, Dale and Phyllis Anger, Tim Bartz, Cynthia Peterson, Bob and Cyndy Starko, Curtis Melynyk, Kevin and Holly Schultz, Katie Fossum, Elmer Pullishy and Colin Peddle.

Charter member John Howie was also in the procession.

Organizers were commended for their efforts and accomplishments by the various officials.

Committee chairman Gerald Maschmeyer thanked fellow members for their dedication and hard work. “Without you it wouldn’t have hap-

pened.”

Sandi Maschmeyer, who had played in all 24 of the past Last Chance Mixed Bonspiels, had the honour of throwing the first rock to officially get the event underway. She was flanked by fellow members and organizers Dale Anger and Elmer Pullishy. Her shot, which landed on the button, received thunderous applause from the crowd.

Smiles lit up the faces of participants and fans alike during the opening ceremonies and mini two end celebrity curling game. Good natured teasing and old fashioned fun, along with a few witty quips and jokes, added to the laid

back warm atmosphere.

The Nedohin family posed for pictures with various star struck fans following the game, while other curlers took to the ice to begin their games.

All of the sheets were occupied at the arena and curling club throughout the weekend. There was a banquet and dance Saturday evening, before playoff action in the two divisions (MUSH 48) in honour of Gerald and Sandi Maschmeyer, and BUCK 40 (in honour of the late Walter Buck) got underway on Sunday. There was a closing ceremony that evening, and event winners will be posted in the April 16 issue.

Online contest offers glimmer of hope for wheelchair bound Chipman resident Michelle Pinon Editor

For most of us getting to our vehicle is as simple as walking over to it, getting inside, turning the ignition, and driving away. But for Melinda Kykosz, who has been wheelchair bound for most of her life, it isn’t that easy and not without risk.

The 32-year-old Chipman resident relies on lifts and a wheelchair accessible van, along with her elderly grandfather to take her to frequent medical appointments, shopping, and run errands. You could say her 84-year-old grandfather and the van are her lifeline.

For Kykosz, who suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, the van is her main link to the outside world and only mode of transportation.

However, that lifeline, a 1996 Ford van is on its last legs and has been declared no longer road worthy. So when Kykosz spotted a poster for a promotion through National Mobility Awareness Month, she didn’t pass up the chance to win a new wheelchair accessible van.

The online contest, open to both Canadian and US residents, is based on votes. The top three vote getters receive a brand new wheelchair accessible van valued at

$69,000. Winning one of those vans “would be a Godsend for us,” says Kykosz.

A couple of weeks ago, Kykosz was travelling in the van when one of the tires blew, and she suffered whiplash as a result of the incident.

“My doctor said I’m taking my life into my own hands by riding in the van.”

Her physician said it could take months if not years for Kykosz to recover from her injury; but Kykosz says she and her grandfather have no choice but to continue to use the van because they are both on limited incomes and just do not have the means of purchasing another van.

In the profile Kykosz posted for the contest, she wrote: “My hero is my grandfather John Cooper, the reason I consider my grandpa my hero is because I have lived with both my grandparents since the age of two-years-old.

Unfortunately, in 2009, my grandma passed away from alzheimers and dementia, so now it is just me and grandpa.

Grandpa is only on a senior pension, and we both are finding it hard to make ends meet.”

As Cooper pointed out, “Every time we save up, we have to spend it.”

They also had to pay for other major repairs to the van in recent months

Melinda Kykosz, second from right, shared a wonderful fishing excursion with her grandmother Elsie Cooper and her grandfather John Cooper. Kykosz is wheelchair bound, and is in desparate need of a new wheelchair accessible van. The Chipman resident is hoping to win a new set of wheels through an online contest, but will need strong public support to earn enough votes over the next month. which has added to their financial burden. He said he has had to fork over $2,500 for a new fuel pump, radiator, muffler and battery.

Day tripping, one of Kykosz’s favourite outings, has also been out of the question for the past year and a half. Their favourite hobby is fishing, and both long for a few more trips to CarsenPegasus Provincial Park near Whitecourt to catch rainbow trout.

They also miss attending Sunday services in Edmonton. While things are very tight financially right now, they both cling to each other, and the hope things will turn around for them.

Because of Kykosz’s seizures, Cooper cannot leave her alone. He has saved her life on several occasions.

“We have a code” says

Kykosz, who yells, “Grandpa Adavan now or grandpa get me down,” during the onset of a seizure. The pill is placed under her tongue and dissolves instantly.

“In the year 2000 I had a grande mall seizure and I was flown in to the hospital by air ambulance where my heart stopped twice in flight.

The doctors said I was dead. My grandma and grandpa stayed by my side while I was on life support for 12 days. This is why my grandpa is my hero.”

She has had several hip surgeries over the years, and back in 2008 was told she was going to be blind for the rest of her life. “I was not willing to accept his diagnosis.” After watching The Doctors television show, she made contact with a physician in the States,

Purebred d Bulls & Heiferss

For Sale

and he was willing to perform surgery.

Because the procedure was not deemed essential, they had to pay around $14,000 in expenses to have the surgery done. While it came at a great cost to them financially, Kykosz said it was worth it, despite the fact they had to declare bankruptcy because they didn’t have the means of paying back the bank loan.

While life hasn’t been easy for the family, they are determined and resilient individuals, and have not given up hope that there will be a ray of sunshine at the end of the rainbow.

A few of Kykosz’s

close friends are trying to drum up votes, and she hopes that other people who read and hear about her story will lend support for her cause.

According to contest rules, each IP (internet provider) address is allowed one vote per day from now until May 10th. For more information go to the link: About ( h t t p : / / w w w. m o b i l ityawarenessmonth.com /about/)

Snowplowing and removal a constant challenge for Lamont public works crew Michelle Pinon Editor

When it comes to snow removal; it simply is a no win situation.

Despite the best efforts of public works staff, there have been complaints by some residents that enough is not being done fast enough. “They (public works staff) have been going overtime, and trying to keep everyone happy,� said Sandi Maschmeyer, acting chief administrative officer, to members of town council during its March 26 meeting. “They are trying to accommodate everybody as best they can,� added Maschmeyer. But with the amount and frequency of snowfall; it is impossible to keep up with the amount of work that needs to be done.

Coun. Steve Sharun, who stated he had received a few telephone calls in recent weeks, wanted to know if there was a priority list, and if procedures were being followed accordingly?

Maschmeyer said the town has a snow removal policy, and crews are doing their utmost to clear the snow and ice on the streets, in the back alleys, as well as steaming the sewer drains. “As long as a consistent thing is happening,� said Sharun.

Maschmeyer added that the town will be looking into purchasing a blade for the bobcat next year.

Coun. Gail Hrehorets suggested council revisit the policy. While there is a big difference between expectations and policies; Hrehorets felt it

would be a good idea to look at the policy once again.

The preamble of the policy states: Snow can be removed from streets quickly and thoroughly, but it will be costly to mobilize many trucks and operators. Snow can be removed from streets at a low price, but many trucks and operators will not mobilize if they are not paid well. So you do not get the streets cleaned quickly or thoroughly. The challenge is to get the street cleared of snow as quickly and as thoroughly as possible at a price that is within the budget.�

However, there is no specific amount of money specified in the budget for snow removal.

The policy does state that: “When a snow pack

reaches a height of at least 10 cm (four inches), this will trigger snow clearing activity. Snow is to be ploughed to the side of all streets and lanes according to the priority schedule attached.

When snow depth reaches 20 cm (eight inches) on a particular street, the snow will be windrowed to the centre of the street and transported to a snow dump area... Any windrow on the streets greater than four inches above the hard pack of snow shall be removed if it interferes with driveway usage.�

Under the policy, the public works department will place signs in residential areas 24 hours

Justice.

What justice?

I glanced at an email this morning with interest.

Soon after, quickly gleaning the press release I fell into a state of disbelief. I will, however, let you (the reader) be the judge.

According to Airdrie Integrated Traffic Unit (ITU), "A 51-year-old man from Calgary has been charged with driving while prohibited only minutes after receiving a court order driving prohibition in Airdrie Provincial Court.

The man entered a guilty plea to impaired driving during a scheduled court appearance Jan. 11 at 9:30 a.m.

The judge subsequently handed down a sentence that included a two year Canada wide driving prohibition. As part of the driving prohibition, the accused had to surrender his drivers license to the court.

"At the conclusion of his court appearance at about 10:20 a.m., the man left court, got into his vehicle, and attempted to drive home. He was intercepted by ITU officers who had noticed the accused's vehicle parked near the courthouse. The man has now been charged with driving while disqualified under the Criminal Code - an offence that could lead to jail time if he is convicted."

Sheriff Jason Graw commented that the action of this gentleman showed a serious lack of respect for the court system. It's almost inconceivable that someone could be standing in front of a judge and surrender their drivers license for an impaired driving conviction, and then get into a vehicle and attempt to drive away only minutes later."

On April 4 the accused entered a guilty plea to the charge of driving while disqualified, and was sentenced to 45 days in jail, plus an addition one year driving prohibition (consecutive to the one year prohibition he was subject to at the time of the offence).

What I find inconceivable is that "the accused" was not put in jail for a year and prohibited from driving forever after the first offence.

Back on Nov. 18, 2012 the RCMP Operational Communications Center receive four consecutive 911 calls from various motorists. The callers were reporting a blue Ford Super Duty truck that was traveling southbound on Highway 2 near Highway 72 (Crossfield) overpass. The vehicle was drifting from one lane to another and varying speeds." ITU intercepted and stopped the truck just south of Airdrie.

Tests indicated his blood alcohol level was allegedly three times the legal limit.

While it is the job of police to enforce laws, it is the job of elected officials to change the laws; and that's what I feel is needed to make our roads safer. How about you?

Letter to the Editor The recent Edmonton Journal “Shape-shifting Prions Pose Human Health Risk” is an important and courageous statement in a province that doesn’t want to acknowledge the “precautionary principle” despite the catastrophic impact of mad cow disease (BSE).

Alberta researcher Dr Valerie Sim spoke the unspeakable in saying that deer with adaptable prions transmit the disease through saliva, urine, or dung, could affect humans.

This was published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry this year. Of course it could even more readily be a threat to the cattle industry, still recovering from BSE. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious, fatal prion disease

of deer and elk that continues to emerge across Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Unfortunately we can only test for this disease after the animal dies. The disease lies dormant for decades in the host animal while infecting other animals. CWD prion lives in the environment for years and is much more easily transmitted to others than was BSE. If it were ever to infect humans it could become a disastrous epidemic before it was well recognized.

This government has promoted game ranches along with the sale of the “cure-all” elk velvet capsules despite the risks.

The Alberta government knows, or should know, that prions are infectious in growing antler (antler velvet). “Humans who

consume antler velvet as a nutritional supplement are at risk for exposure to prions,” according to Angers RC, Seward TS, Napier D, et al. Chronic wasting disease prions in elk antler velvet. Emerg.

Infect Dis. 2009 May. Another study showed that aerosols can transmit prions to (Johannes Haybaeck, 2011) experimentally or naturally via food, blood, milk, saliva, feces, and urine to other species, including mice.

The real surprise is that, in spite of this widely understood information our public health experts in Canada have, until now, taken no action to eliminate sale of elk velvet and refuse to acknowledge that game ranches are contributing to the wildlife spread of this incurable disease with potential for human

health impacts.

The silence on CWD and human health risk is unacceptable. It’s time for public health officials, federal and provincial, to invoke the precautionary principle to avoid this unlikely, but awful scenario.

BSE is still fresh in the minds of both the families of citizens who died from BSE and of our agricultural industry that lost $9B in 2003.

Prevention is possible with courageous and coordinated action between our provincial and federal governments. But it will take courageous leadership.

Telus to install communications tower in Town of Lamont despite objections Michelle Pinon Editor

Despite a handful of objections, Lamont town council voted unanimously to lend its support to the installation of a communications tower at its March 26 meeting.

The freestanding 30 metre monopole telecommunication tower is to be located at 4809-51 Street (next to the post office) by Telus, who made the application to Industry Canada.

Adjacent property owners, about 40 in total, were notified of the proposed development through letters and an advertisement ran in the local paper.

According to a report to council by development officer Laraine Stuart, “Comments received from adjacent residents (seven) were generally non-supportive of the proposed tower and included

issues such as visual appearance, impact on property values, and health concerns; issues which fall within the jurisdiction of Industry Canada and Health Canada.”

Her report went onto say: “In the absence of a municipal public consultation policy for communication facilites, Telus was required to comply with, and meet Industry Canada’s default consultation process.”

One of the business owners who objected to the tower stated because of the size and height of the tower, it would destroy the asthetics of the neighbourhood and devalue all the surrounding properties.

“Both the small commercial zoned area in which it is proposed to be built in, and the adjacent residential properties will be dominated by a structure of this size.

This type of structue

should be built in an industrial area away from residential properties,” stated Grant Short of Iceworm Enterprises Ltd. Acting chief administrative officer Sandi Maschmeyer said the tower falls under the jurisdiction of Industry Canada, and whether the town approved of the development or not, the municipality would not have any power to change its final ruling or decision.

Temitope Kasali, real estate manager with Telus, also confirmed that information in an email to the Lamont Leader. In regards to the consultation process, Kasali stated: “The Federal Government through Industry Canada, has jurisdiction over the installation of wireless telecommunications sites.

The local land-use authority (Town of

Lamont) provides guidance to the carriers by way of providing a wireless telecommunications site policy. Industry Canada requires the carriers to follow municipal policies wherever possible. If the municipality does not have a policy, then the carriers must follow Industry Canada’s guidelines.”

Kasali also pointed out the location of each tower varies depending on topography and density of the community.

“The proposed 30m (approx. 98 ft) structure has been identified as the best suitable height for this location, required to meet projected capacity demands for the community in the coming months and improve coverage in parts of the community where current signal strength is marginal.

“This installation which is in our 2013/14 build plan, will be well

equipped with the latest technology (LTE) compatible with various devices such as Samsung galaxy, etc., which is more efficient and faster “high speed”, for downloading data. The intent is to ensure that wireless cell phone coverage is available to all our clients when the need is at its greatest, particularly in an emergency situation.”

Kasali went onto say that in planning of any tower installation, a considerable amount of distance has to be maintained between towers...Planning tower locations is a continuous process along any route or in any community with the goal of providing consistent coverage across the town or region.”

Telus is forecasting the wireless service capacity in the community will reach saturation in approximately 18

months, and would result in “severe degradation” of wireless communication services. ”Telus would not invest scarce capital funds in a cell tower unless it was absolutely necessary.”

She also stated that Telus has gone to great lengths to ensure that the proposed installation is as unobtrusive and noiseless as possible.

Other options such as rooftop of tall buildings were considered for the installation, but none was a viable candidate.

In communities where rooftop candidates were not viable options within the search map as the required height of the tower is 30m, we are forced by default to build towers.

Lamont town council reviews financials Actuals and projections outlined in statements Michelle Pinon Editor

Even though Lamont town council recently passed its 2013 budget, members reviewed financial pie charts at its March 26th meeting.

The diagrams, completed by financial officer Robert Mu, included actual revenue versus projections for 2013. Tax in 2012 was $2,050,935 and projected to be $2,050,745 in 2013.

Councillors Wayne Field and Steve Sharun both suggested next year’s diagram to have a breakdown in taxes for residential, commercial, and industrial categories.

Grants in 2012 amounted to $874,293; down marginally at $858,981.

“There is $86,000 applied grant excluded in the 2013 budget figures due to the fact that these grants are still under review and have not been approved

yet,” stated Mu. Recreation revenue is expected to rise slightly from $176,563 to $178,120 in 2013.

Franchise fees are to increase from $150,975 to $170,000.

Other revenue will be chopped considerably.

“The decrease in 2013 budgeted other revenue is due to the fact that revenue from 2012 tenders are considered as nonregular revenue.”

According to projections, ROI will dip from $50,051 to $44,000.

Garbage revenue will be down from $6,138 to $4,000.

The largest projected expense for 2013 will be capital projects at $3,894,351. Of that, $2.5 million is expected to be spent on upgrades and expansion of the lagoon calculated at $2.5 million.

Council also requested a breakdown project by project for capital projects.

Wages and benefits weighed at $987,241 and

then amortization expenses of $779,000 and the school and senior taxation of $502,484.

Contracted services are expected to reach $382,610; utilites at $325,280; garbage at $266,500; repairs and maintenance, $257,980; goods and supplies, $234,610; cost of water, $180,000.

General operating expenses are pegged at $165.257; insurance at $75,252; training and travel, $30,600; Family and Community Services, $29,700; fuel, $23,105; Telus, $22,800; freight and postage, $3,500.

Council also requested the budget information, including charts be posted on the town’s website as well as in the foyer of the town office.

Residents or business owners can also request to have copies of the budget mailed to them directly.

Federated Co-operatives to construct bulk petroleum distribution station Michelle Pinon Editor

Federated Co-operatives Ltd. will be constructing a bulk petroleum and distribution station just off Highway 38 and Range Road 204.

Spokesperson Daryl Oshanek confirmed plans for the project that will consist of 30 bulk tanks, each capable of holding nearly 148,000 litres of petroleum (diesel and gas) on a 5.3 acre site that is expected to be built during the next year.

“We will be ready for a fall opening in 2014,” stated Oshanek. The site will be located in the Heartland Agricultural Buffer Zone, and is being built to better serve members of the farming community and enhance service delivery. “It will increase the amount of fuel available during peak

demand.”

Oshanek pointed out the project will have no impact on operations at the Beaver Creek Co-op or its customers in Lamont and surrounding communities.

In fact, “All of the local Co-ops will still have trucks and delivery.” The distribution station will simply better fulfill the needs of bulk farmers and commercial customers.

“We have applied for a development permit, and if it gets approved, site preparation could begin this summer,” added Oshanek.

Federated Co-operatives Ltd. is a multi-faceted organization based on the principles of co-operation. It is owned by approximately 235 retail coops throughout Western Canada with its head office in Saskatoon.

Lamont Minor Hockey Association representative ready to build relationship with town officials Hoculak expresses members’ desire to build a relationship with town staff and elected representatives Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont Minor Hockey Association (LMHA) representative Ward Hoculak appeared before members of Lamont town council March 26 to discuss funding, upgrades, board advertising, and ice fees.

Hoculak said it was his intent to build a relationship with the town. “We need to work together and with continued support help make Lamont a great place to play hockey.”

There were a total of 98 registered players with LMHA in the 2012-’13 season. With the closing of the hockey program in Bruderheim, Hoculak said it could bring the number of registered players up to 115 in the coming season.

Hoculak also said there is the possibility of players from the Andrew area coming to Lamont as well, since they only had enough players to field one atom team this past season. “We may be

one of the only facilities in the county to play organized hockey,” added Hoculak.

Hoculak also pointed out the Lamont Figure Skating Club was growing, and had doubled the number of participants last season to 60, and was planning on increasing registrants to 100 in the coming season, as well as increasing the amount of ice time it receives.

He passed out some pictures of the player boxes to members of council to illustrate the frost build up in that area, the variance of temperature and subsequent heat loss which occurs there and throughout the building.

Hoculak suggested the player boxes be rebuilt, and perhaps most cost efficient methods of heating. One of the ways LMHA could generate funding for the projects, said Hoculak, would be through board advertising around the rink.

Mayor Bill Skinner said they had talked about board advertising

with previous members of the LMHA executive, but that the initiative didn’t come to fruition.

Skinner did, however, suggest they could try to float the idea again, and come up with a plan in coordination with administration.

“I think the biggest bang for the buck would be board advertising,” concurred Coun. Wayne Field, if the two parties can come up with an agreement with the town. “It’s the easiest way of generating annual income. It would be an annual source of revenue, and keep the revenue flowing,” added Field.

Coun. Gail Hrehorets pointed out that council did try to have discussions previously in regards to board advertising, but there wasn’t enough manpower to make that happen. She said the organization would have to establish standards before launching such a program.

“You have to get the club behind you to make it work,” added Hrehorets.

She also suggested that since most of the hockey players come from the county, that to also approach the municipality in regards to funding.

Mayor Skinner also said other communities have advertising on the ice surface, and that may be another option for the club to pursue.

Coun.

Sylvia McDonald suggested LMHA look into grants that are available online through various corporations. Hoculak said he would like to see money reinvested back into the facility, and asked if the town could assist the organization in that respect.

Coun. Field wanted Hoculak to be aware that any monies that are put into the facility are the property of the town.

Field said funds could be generated through board advertising, and the town as well as other local organizations could possibly assist the organization with grants. “In the past minor hockey has partnered with the ag. society and other

organizations,” noted Field.

“I’m happy to see you here,” added Field.

Hoculak said he was happy to be in front of council, and once again reiterated his and other members’ desire to help move things forward in the future.

Acting chief administrative officer Sandi Maschmeyer said the town recognizes the

arena is an aging facility and has issues with the roof as well as ongoing maintenance issues, and that any assistance from LMHA would be greatly appreciated.

Mayor Skinner said council would be setting ice fees for the 2013-’14 season soon and would inform LMHA once that is done.

Area farmers hope for profitable growing season amid near record crop prices Near record crop prices are fuelling the possibility of a profitable growing season as farmers in Flagstaff, Lamont, and Beaver counties prepare for spring seeding.

“With canola fluctuating around $14.50 per bushel and barley averaging about $5.30 in March, farmers are hoping the weather cooperates better this year - so they can cash in on these high prices with bumper crops,” says Lorelei Hulston, Provincial Insurance Manager for Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC), which administers crop insurance in Alberta on behalf of the provincial and federal governments.

“Producers would like to avoid the disappointment of last year,” says Hulston. “Prices were high and the growing season looked promising.

Then came a series of unexpected weather and disease issues that left many with below average yields and crop insurance claims.”

Close to $532 million was paid out through crop insurance across Alberta last year, including Flagstaff, Lamont, and Beaver counties.

Claims were triggered by several factors including widespread hail, lack of moisture, and heat stress caused by hot July weather.

“Many canola fields were hit by an unexpect-

ed disease called aster yellows. Diseases like sclerotinia and insects like army cutworms also became a problem,” says Hulston.

“It still ended up being a decent year financially for many, thanks to high grain prices, but it was far from what they’d hoped for,” says Hulston. “With

cash in once they harvest crops this fall - depends mainly on the weather, says Charlie Pearson, a provincial crop market analyst with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development. “Mother

Nature is in control.�

Pearson explains today’s high prices were created by last year’s drought in the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, and South America, leaving tight corn and oilseed supplies worldwide. “If drought conditions continue in these major grain growing regions of the world and supplies tighten further, prices

could climb higher.�

While he expects grain prices will soften this fall, Pearson says strong demand for meat and cooking oil in China and the U.S. ethanol policy should keep prices “historically high and profitable for most producers.� “Historically there’s more market volatility when prices are high,�

If grain prices climb higher - by 10 to 50 per cent - a built-in crop insurance feature called the Variable Price Benefit (VPB) insures farmers at the higher price if their crop fails, adds Hulston.

The VPB paid out nearly $108 million in 2012 - a record amount when prices jumped by up to 50 per cent on some crops between

he explains. “It’s a good year for farmers to consider locking in some of the profitable prices being forecast with a tool like the Spring Price Endorsement (SPE).�

The SPE is an optional crop insurance rider that compensates farmers if prices drop 10 to 50 per cent between spring and fall on harvested crops.

spring and fall.

Hulston expects interest in the SPE will rise this year as producers look for ways to protect against falling prices, but she says the production guarantee crop insurance provides will once again be the key reason farmers insure as much as 14 million acres of Alberta cropland this spring.
