How to stay cool and hydrated in the heat

Extreme heat can have dire health consequences for every organ of your body

By Julie Garden-Robinson August 5, 2016

I figure my distant ancestors spent most of their time in cold climates with little exposure to the sun. They probably slogged through snowdrifts to reach their recreational icebergs, where they could dip their toes in freezing water. When the sun came out, they probably retreated to cold, dark caves. Therefore, I think I have

Editorial: Consumer divorce

By Gord Gilmour August 4, 2016

Talking to farmers these days about their relationship with consumers is like talking to a jilted lover. They can’t understand what’s just happened. In their minds, things were going so well. They’ve done what consumers asked, provided cheap and safe food, produced with the most modern technology. Everything was going along swimmingly, farmers thought. True,

By Ted Bilyea And David Mcinnes August 2, 2016

This is a good year for flowers in my neighbourhood. Pots and baskets are brimming with pink, purple, yellow and crimson petals. I can’t resist flowers or watching things grow. Here’s where I note that “Garden” is my middle name, or my “first” last name, anyway. Have you taken the opportunity to admire the blooming
