There are websites dedicated to helping others create an artisan farm. In its simplest form, artisan farming is a return to older, smaller-scale farming, with a modern emphasis on sustainability. It is a global phenomenon. With the legalization of industrial hemp at the federal level, Boylan and Blanks saw an opportunity and a niche market. The difference between Road Runner's hemp and resulting CBD and more industrially farmed products is analogous to the difference between an unripe tomato from the grocery store and an heirloom variety from the farmer's market. Road Runner offers CBD tinctures, salves and CBD oil capsules, along with CBD body lotion through its website, and its products are also available wholesale. In addition, the pair have plans to open Verve Botanicals in Edgewood near Tractor Supply, carrying their products and others, including wholesale of a lim- Artisenal hemp farmer Kyle Blanks, one of the owners of Road Runner CBD, taking a break from the harvest to talk ited run of fresh hemp flowers—which hemp.

By Ger Demarest
After getting shut out for the second consecutive week, Estancia High School’s head football coach Stewart Burnett said, “It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” The Bears suffered a 38-0 home- opening defeat Aug. 30 at the hands of the Eunice Cardinals but Burnett brushed aside any notions that it’s the beginning of the end. “I really could not care less about win- ning games in August,” he said. The Bears surrendered 88 unan- swered points in their first two games— they lost their Aug. 23 season opener 50- 0 at Hatch Valley—and are starting out with an 0-2 record for the third consecu- tive year. “I can’t think of anything that has less relevance,” Burnett said, adding that the games really start mattering next week.

Standing at the foot of the glacier, we were awed not only at what is but also what was and what will be—up to the day the Columbia Icefield, the largest expanse of glacial ice outside the poler regions, passes into history. The Athabasca Glacier, one of the six main toes of the icefield, is the easiest glacier in the world to approach by car, a fact that accounts for it being the most visited glacier in North America. In fact, the current parking lot used to be beneath the ice. The glacier has lost half its volume and a mile of its length in 125 years, including more than 200 yards just since 1992. In a hundred years it will be only a meadow and a memory. Its dimensions today are still spec- tacular.
