Hemp production given serious consideration in Lamont JOHN MATHER Lamont County Economic development officer Jim Newman gave the Agriculture Service Board an update on where the County’s Agricultural Initiative is at on August 1.

He said work was progressing on trying to make hemp a new cash crop for local farmers.

“It’s a great cash crop for processors here in the County. It’s a strong alternative for canola and the market has lots of potential upside,” Newman said.

He added there is an existing decortication facility at the Vegreville Research Facility and there is opportunity to look at a regional value added hemp industry.

Decortication is the removal of the outside husk of the plant or its stem.

“Many municipalities including Bruderheim have put in for funding from the province for decortication facilities,”

he said. “We’re waiting to see if there are investment opportunities for others to build these facilities around the area.”

The Vegreville facility, he said, does let some small privateers do some research on hemp production.

N e w m a n added the regional opportunities cover northern Alberta from Drayton Valley up to Barrhead and east to the County of Minburn.

“We’ll all studying the hemp option right now,”

he added.

Agricultural Fieldman Terry Eleniuk, who is working hand in hand with Newman on the Initiative, said one of the

problems is there are requests through the Alberta HUB business

network and others and the province suggests everyone is asking for the same thing.

“Everyone needs to collaborate rather than fight for the same thing,” he said. “That’s the issue we’re dealing with right now.”

Newman added each municipality could take a role in a specialized area with the goals of achieving a common goal.

“Why should we go against Vegreville right now when there is money provided for a facility there?” he asked the board.

4 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 8, 2018

Opinion Drugged driving will become a large problem come October With the October legalization of marijuana in Canada, police will be under a great deal of stress handling impaired driving of a little different kind.

Certainly officers in Canada pull over and charge citizens impaired by cannabis now, but as an illegal drug becomes legal the number of people either trying it or becoming regular users will likely increase greatly. With that is the prediction of an increase in drugged driving.

Presently police are able to weed out impaired motorists with a field sobriety test if they smell or suspect marijuana usage by a driver. If the driver fails that test, the officer can demand a drug recognition evaluation. If the driver fails that, the police can charge him/her with impaired driving.

However, there is presently no set limit for the amount of cannabis a person can have in their blood so there are fewer drugged driving charges despite there being more drugs show up in blood tests of drivers in accidents than alcohol. Over 95 percent of impaireds are still alcohol related.

But laws against drugged driving are changing and will make it easier on police to detect, charge and get these stoned motorists off the roads.

The main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis is THC, and determining how much THC in a person’s bloodstream is too much to safely drive has recently been determined.

Proposals have been brought forward to set levels of THC in accordance with fines, loss of license and even jail time. As well, hybrid offences will be determined for those combining certain blood/alcohol levels over .08 with the number of nanograms of THC recorded. Mixing alcohol, marijuana, and driving can be the most dangerous offence and could result in the harshest penalties.

With all the potential problems which may result from legalizing cannabis, safety on our roads could very well be our most serious.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR No government help for busing please Dear Editor: Western Canadian bus riders have received an early Halloween scare: as of Oct. 31, 2018, Greyhound won't offer passenger routes west of Ontario.

For the company, it means 415 fewer employees and two million fewer passenger rides each year. For bus riders in remote areas, a vital link has been cut.

Some advocates want the government to pick up the slack but taxpayers should hope this never happens.

When governments run the buses, more tax dollars make trips than people.

Greyhound Canada has had operating losses in the West since 2004 and ridership there has fallen 41 per cent since 2010. (The only exception is a Vancouver-Seattle route that's

run by its American counterpart and will continue.)

The primary reason for this precipitous fall is actually positive: consumers have more and better choices. These include more cars, more lowcost airlines and more interregional passenger services.

Although very few take the bus, they do squawk loudly.

This has offered left-leaning provincial governments the chance to step in and buy votes with the voters' own money.

Greyhound recognized in 2010 that Albertans didn't want bus service subsidized. Yet that didn't stop Premier Rachel Notley from recently starting pilot projects to provide public transit to connect small communities before Greyhound even left. It's not hard to imagine her following her NDP counterparts in British

Columbia. When Greyhound stopped running buses to northern B.C. in May, the province started its own bus service as a one-year "interim solution."

Taxpayers beware.

Government programs can stray far past their bounds of time, money and justification.

Then tax dollars fill the seats where people no longer sit.

Such was the fate of Saskatchewan Transportation Co. (STC), the Crown-owned bus entity launched by Premier Tommy Douglas. STC ran its first buses on April Fool's Day in 1946 and lost money in only one of its first 25 years of service. But its last profitable year was 1980. It took 37 years of losses before the provincial government finally pulled the plug.

Hemp symposium coming Continued from Page 2 He added if the area was to build a value added cluster then there could be additional opportunities for Lamont.

He stated plans are well underway for a hemp symposium in the County scheduled for January or February of next year.

The main idea of the symposium is to let farmers know how to buy seed, grow hemp, what processing looks like and what can be manufactured from it.

“It will be a grow 101,” said Newman. “If the farmers understand it, then they can make some decisions on whether they want to move forward with it.”

He reported a Lamont County Young Farmers Association is being developed.

“We want council to provide some input by providing some names of young farmers in their divisions who may want to join this type of group,” he said. “The young farmers are the ones who will be running the show in the next few years.”

A terms of references are being developed for this association. He added he hoped to have a meeting next month to kick start the program.

The final phase of the initiative is having Assistant Fieldman Lindsay Benbow working on a regional project with Strathcona and Sturgeon County through both the agricultural services boards and economic development departments.

“There is some funding available for this project,” she told the board. “The idea is to work with Strathcona and Sturgeon to do a symposium with the public including farm tours and meeting with producers to discover what the industry does in this region.”

She said she wanted the urban people to come out and hopefully become advocates for the local agriculture producers.

Dates for consultation

on the Agriculture Master Plan have been set. Stantec Consulting will meet with the public in Andrew, Oct. 16; Mundare, Oct. 17; and Lamont Oct. 18.

Gov. busing Continued from Page 4 By then, its ridership had dropped 75 per cent, expenses were triple the revenues and every passenger was subsidized by an average of $94.

An outcry ensued over the demise of STC, but it proved to be more about union jobs than maintaining bus services. One limo company owner was excited to start busing, but he withdrew his application following opposition from the Amalgamated Transit Union and even threats to some of his drivers. By now the dust has settled and eight companies fill the freight and passenger market once held by STC, with more set to come on board. The companies and workers will pay taxes to the

province, which already expects to save $85 million by not having to subsidize STC. The Manitoba government has taken heed.

Although its NDP predecessors subsidized Greyhound, the current P r o g r e s s i v e Conservative government is staying clear. On

July 9, Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler said, "We do not believe in giving subsidies and we're not going to get into the business of business. ... We would like to see individuals come forward and put a good business plan together."

Schuler balked a little after LeadNow launched

a petition calling on the Manitoba and federal governments to ensure bus service. Suddenly, Schuler tried to rally his provincial counterparts to call for federal help to delay Greyhound's departure until the end of 2018.

Entrepreneurs have already shown such

intervention is unnecessary. As Greyhound pulls out on Oct. 31, Kasper Transportation Service will step in with trips from Thunder Bay to Winnipeg, Winnipeg to Thompson, and Winnipeg to Prince Albert (with stops in Regina and Saskatoon).

The company also plans

to offer regular routes to Selkirk and rural areas, and charter buses to northern communities.

On Halloween or any other day, bus riders don't need government tricks to get their treats.

8 - The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 8, 2018

Noxious weeds pose major hazards John Mather They may look very nice in the garden, but as about 20 County residents found out recently, noxious weeds are exactly that – noxious.

“The noxious weeds in Alberta are usually introduced from other continents,” said Hayley Hedstrom, a weed inspector with Lamont County.

“They are probably the number one cause of reduced crops yields,” said Lamont County assistant fieldman Lindsay Benbow.

“Basically they are the wrong plant in the wrong place.”

The two were part of a crew from the County who gave a presentation on noxious weeds to interested residents on July 25 at the Ukrainian Cultural Village.

“The weeds increase production costs for pro-

ducers, they can decrease property values, and they can spread quickly from one field to another,” added Benbow.

“These weeds can also reduce more native plants,” she explained.

“Himalayan Balsam can wipe out other native species of plants. They can cause bare soil and cause erosion.”

In Alberta there are two categories of noxious weeds, said Hedstrom.

“There are noxious weeds and prohibited noxious weeds.”

Common Tansy, Burdock, Scentless Camomile, Tall Buttercup White Cockle and Canada Thistle are all examples of noxious weeds. Some of the weeds can take years to get under control once they’ve taken hold in an area.

Leafy Spurge, said

Hedstrom, is poisonous to livestock with the exception of sheep and goats, but to date it has not been discovered in Lamont County. Pale Yellow Iris, she added, is poisonous to cattle and Tall Buttercup produces an oil which is harmful to cows, so they avoid areas where it is growing, allowing the buttercup to spread through fields.

Weed inspections help create awareness Benbow said the reason the County does weed inspections is to create awareness of the dangers of the weeds.

“If we don’t find any weeds in our inspections that’s awesome,” she said. “If we do find noxious weeds, we’ll send a letter to the landowners asking them to clean it up.

Weeds Continued from Page 8 If it’s a prohibited noxious weed we’ll probably set a short timeline to clean it up, because of the dangers those weeds pose.

“If the landowner complies then nothing more happens. If the landowners doesn’t comply further letters will be sent and eventually a weed notice will be sent.”

The County weed inspectors provide instructions on how to control the weeds and what herbicides can be applied, added Hedstrom.

“Under the Weed Control Act there are 29 species listed as noxious weeds, but not all have been found in the County. There are 46 prohibited noxious weeds identified in Alberta and these must be

destroyed,” said Benbow.

“A lot of research has gone into the plants on the list and that’s why they must be destroyed.

They pose a threat to lands in Alberta.”

Weed inspectors can go onto land looking for the weeds. Charges can be laid if the weeds are not cleaned up after notice is given.

“It is something taken vary seriously in the province,” said Benbow.

Benbow and Hedstrom gave individual reviews on many of noxious and prohibited noxious weeds during the program. They explained what each on looked like, how to tell them apart from look-alike species, and what threats the weed pose.

Natural means used to eradicate weeds Because many of the plants don’t have naturals predators in Alberta,

have look-alike species,” she said. “Unfortunately a lot of greenhouses can mistakenly sell these plants and then the unsuspecting landowner has to get rid of them because they’re a noxious weed.”

She added she’s not sure if the greenhouse operators have different regulations when it comes to noxious weeds, or they may just not recognize them because they are so similar to another ornamental plant.

She added, sometimes, the local church plant sales can be the worst place to buy ornamentals because the species often get mixed up.

“With people being so mobile now, it’s hard to keep noxious weeds out of the County so we have to be vigilant in finding them and get rid of them before they cause too much damage.”

Benbow states the province looks at method of control such as bringing in weevils and other control means from Europe.

“The province really works hard at testing the weevils, fungi, or other means to control these weeds but at the same time making sure they don’t further cause problems to Alberta farmers.”

The other tricky thing with weeds, attendees learned, is that different provinces and states have different designations for the same weeds.

“Something prohibited in Alberta, might not be prohibited in another jurisdiction and that can pose problems,” added Ben bow.

When one attendee pointed out she had seen some of the prohibited weeds in a garden near Gibbons, Benbow stated that is often the case.

“A lot of these species

Above: Lindsay Benbow, Assistant Agricultural Fieldman for Lamont County gives a talk about ways to control noxious weeds during a weed school session at Ukrainian Cultural Village on July 25. Many of the weeds are controlled by the use of gall flies and toadflax weevils. Below, Brenna Miketan of Edmonton gets up close and personal with some noxious weeds, while County weed inspectors provide her with information on the plants. She was at the County’s noxious weed school July 25 at Ukrainian Cultural Village.

AT THE VIKING CARENA

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Wednesday, August 8, 2018 - 13

Local teen talks about the farm and mental health at Calgary Stampede From Front Page John Mather When Tia Schram, 18, saw a Facebook ad for young farmers to enter a speech contest at the Calgary Stampede in July, she jumped at the chance.

“I thought it would be a cool opportunity to speak in Calgary, so I signed up.”

With a total of about 20 competitors in the senior category, she finished sixth overall after advancing through a couple of preliminary rounds speaking about, “The Next Big Thing in Canadian Agriculture.”

“They gave us a selection of topics to speak on. I thought that topic was the most general so I just went from there.”

The speeches were five to seven minutes in length.

Schram has been a member of 4-H programs, in the Fort Saskatchewan Beef Club and the Strathcona Rein Riders. During these programs she had to make presentations and speeches, so she wasn’t worried about addressing the stampede crowd.

When she was giving her speech, she touched on the subject of mental health issues on the farm. She mentioned a young cattle breeder, whom she knew, who had committed suicide because of the pressures of the farm, and it turned out his sister was not only in the crowd but was one of her judges.

“Her response to my speech was the most meaningful to me,” admits Schram.

Had an overwhelming response She posted the speech to Facebook and received an overwhelming response to it. Schramm has been interviewed on

radio and television and has been asked to give her speech at several churches in the Strathcona and Lamont area.

Tia grew up on the family farm north of Bruderheim. Her family raises 550 head of mostly Simmental influenced cattle and also has grain on more the 2,000 acres.

She will shortly be leaving the farm in the fall to start classes at Concordia University, where she’s studying for a degree in business management. She’s also part of the university’s volleyball program.

The degree, she adds, will prepare her to run the farm.

“My major is going to be marketing which will help me be able to come back and run the family farm.”

“I’m definitely more on the cow side of things,” she adds. “I get the cattle ready for shows.”

She is currently gearing up for Junior Nationals in Olds August 9. It’s open to Simmental breeders 25 years old and younger. It brings young farmers together from across the country.

“There’s a class where we’ve raised the cows from calves and another class where you show cattle you’ve bought and then raised.”

Schram will show one in each class.

She adds that she has an older sister, who is aged out of the younger events, and now prepares cattle with the rest of the family for shows such as Farmfair at Edmonton Northlands.

As a young farmer, she says the future for family farming is being able to keep it sustainable.

“I think the family farm is sustainable because people are always going to need to

eat. While there are large corporate farms, I think there will always be a family farm.”

She adds she plans to continue trying to win the young speakers in

agriculture competition in the future.

“I’m going to win it one of these years,” she said.

“I didn’t expect the publicity this has gener-

ated,” she said. “One of the fellows who talked to me about the mental health issues on the farm asked me to share the message anyway I could, so I put it on Facebook

and it took off.”

“I’m really quite pleased with the result,” she adds.

“I think its important to be able to say, ‘it’s OK to not be OK.’ ”

Opioid information sessions to be held this fall JOHN MATHER While Lamont County doesn’t face any opioid crises, a problem with some potential addictions has been identified and will result in two information sessions being presented to interested people this fall.

“The County isn’t red flagged for this at all,” said Sara Rindero, director of FCSS for Lamont County. “This is a preventive measure. But in general, in Western Canada, the awareness of problems with the opioids is starting to take affect.

That allows municipalities to take a proactive stance on the subject.

The program has been developed through a grant form the province, said Julia Juco, from the Alberta Rural Development Network, which designed the programs.

Juco, program manager for the opioid outreach program, added 29 communities across the province which have been provided grants to host the programs.

“We partner with local organizations throughout Alberta to host the public awareness session.”

Rindero states, through the county’s relationship with its pharmacists some problems with individual addicted to prescription opioids were identified resulting in the programs being established.

Strong painkillers Opioids are very strong painkillers and can include such drugs as codeine, morphine, hydromorphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, and meperidine. Opioids, reports a myhealthAlberta website, can be used in tablet form, injected, snorted or smoked.

“The only new thing on the horizon in the

past few years was the introduction of fentanyl because it is so potent and dangerous,” states Rindero.

Even experienced users can overdose very quickly, she stated.

The presentation will give regular citizens a general overview of opioids.

“There are a lot of misconceptions about opioids out there and these programs will clear some of those up.”

She says it will give a general background of how people come to use opioids. People using opioids aren’t necessarily just street people, she explained.

“It’s covers a wide range of people from young to middle aged to the elderly. She says there is no pinpointed demographic.

Programs to provide general information “We want to provide some knowledge of how the opioids work and how to deal with overdoses.”

She stated naloxone is available in the County and is free of charge. It is used to help with opioid overdoses and is generally carried by paramedics.

It is also available at the county hospitals.

Dates for the courses will be set by the end of August. Bruderheim will host the first session in late September or early October. A second course will be held in Mundare a few weeks later.

Rindero said FCSS is currently lining up speakers for the program, which is why dates aren’t yet set.

The course will be open to the public and will be free of charge.

“Anybody who has concerns or fears can come in and get information from professionals.”

She adds a plan to have a third program is in the works.

Hunting licence fees drop for seniors, air quality report JOHN MATHER The provincial government has moved to make life easier for seniors who like to hunt.

Beginning this fall, the prices for hunting licences will be reduced for seniors. A combination wildlife certificate and bird game permit will costs seniors $9.25 down from $44.02; it will cost $8.25 for a whitetailed deer licence, down from $39.95; and partner licences for seniors Albertan hunters will costs $12.

“I want seniors who have a life-long love of hunting to know I’m on their side,” said Fort Saskatchewan Vegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood.

“Hunting is a longstanding tradition in the province. For our seniors, who may live on a fixed income the cost of a hunting licence should not be a barrier.”

With the decreases in

licence fees, the province will have one of the lowest licence fees in the country for seniors to hunt game birds and white-tailed deer.

In addition to lowering the licence fees, the government is also embarking on a partnership with the Alberta Hunter Education Instructors’ Association, where a mentorship program will be created allowing seniors to pass their skills on to the next generation of young Albertan hunters.

Lamont area has healthiest air quality In the past six months the cleanest air measured by the Fort Air Partnership has been at monitoring stations in Bruderheim and Lamont County.

SUDOKU

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column, and box. Each number can only appear once in each row, column, and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

FROM WHERE I SIT: This Too Shall Pass

BY HAZEL ANAKA Is anyone else surprised that summer is half gone? While they do say time speeds up the older you get, that’s only part of the explanation, I suspect.

About this time of year, our house takes on the look of a warehouse as I’m surrounded by festival ‘stuff.’ I’ve got documents printed for our setup, logistical and packing checklists, and instructions for volunteers. That’s the only way to ensure that Victor Malarek has a mic and a table (with a tablecloth & centrepiece), that the butter churning demo has fresh buns to slather it on (thanks, Mundare Bakery), that the Bazaar vendors know how and

County to start clubroot inspections JOHN MATHER The County of Lamont will begin doing clubroot inspections in canola fields during the next couple of weeks.

Assistant Agriculture Fieldman Lindsay Benbow outlined the protocols for doing the inspections to the Agriculture Service Board on August 1.  Alberta Agriculture requires the surveys. “If we find clubroot, we mark the location,� she explained. “You enter from the most commonly used field entrance and pull 100 plants to check for clubroot.�

She went on to explain the protocol involved for both finding and not finding symptoms of clubroot.

If clubroot is found, samples are collected and locations are marked. A rating scale is used noting the amount of galling on the root.

Biosecurity protocols are followed, she added, which includes bleaching of boots both prior to entering and after leaving the field and the wearing of gloves. Boots and gloves are disposed of after each use. “We try to get out just before swathing starts,� she said.

She said she hoped to get 150 to 200 fields inspected this season. She follows a mapping system that has the previous years’ field inspections marked on them. “We’re not biased about it,� she said. “We will go to all areas of the County and we always work in pairs.�

Clubroot is a soil borne disease which was first identified in canola in the Edmonton area in 2003, according to the government’s website.

The infection causes the formation of large galls on the roots that look like clubs. These formations impede nutrient and water uptake and can cause plant death, wiping out important money generating canola crops. Initially 12 commercial fields of canola were identified, but that number grew to over 400 by 2008.

The best way to prevent contamination between fields is to clean agricultural equipment and vehicles that have contacted with club root before moving to a new field. All contaminated soil, equipment and tools must not be moved to clean, disease-free fields.

The best preventative method is field monitoring.

Throughout the season, plants should be monitored for early symptoms of club root.

where to load in their stock and decorate their booths plus hundreds of other minute details.

We’re especially excited with the sheer number of new exhibitors. I hope I get a chance to shop!

Also surrounding me are the gift bags I’m preparing for performers, demonstrators, and volunteers.

Some of them include honorarium cheques, all of them include meal tickets and some swag. Keeping all of that straight and accurate is a trick. Speaking of volunteers, it’s always a challenge to have enough bodies to lighten the load.

Of course, the festival ‘stuff’ isn’t limited to the house. It’s overflowed

into a couple other buildings. Despite the fact that over six years, the festival has acquired many things, there are many other things that Roy and Hazel invent, provide, lend to enhance the efficiency we need and the ambiance we try to create. Each year the challenge is to decorate with a cohesive theme, to reuse what’s already owned, to judiciously add to the inventory, to make things feel fresh.

Sketches help me visualize how to make this happen and ensure that when I pack the utility trailer, the right stuff is there.

List making is my life.

I’ve got lists about things I still need to do, lists of

talking points for calls I make, lists of what I need to do with every component of the festival: county, bazaar vendors, food truck vendors, Zabava performers, demonstrators, volunteers, venue personnel, attractions, insurers, the health inspector, media, and everyone else under the sun.

I’ve gotten smarter this year about organizing and labeling the bins that will be unloaded by volunteers. I even know where in the venue each one will go! When we tear down the festival those labelled bins should make the packing up and storing that much easier when it seems everyone pitches in to

help.

All this uber-organization is a pre-mediated strategy to make sure no balls are dropped during this topsy-turvy construction summer.

Everything is scattered hither and yon. Every day of construction is an adventure. There are interruptions, questions, noise. There’s the desire to see what’s happening.

There’s the temporary entrance and extra miles to make around the obstacle course of building materials and workmen. There’s the faulty memory wondering where on earth I put fillin-the-blank. Every single thing takes longer.

Luckily, this too shall pass from where I sit.
