Science Smarts: Blow me away
By Patty Rooks on September 13th, 2025
Last week we had a look at air pressure. This is a hard concept to understand because we cannot see it like we can see a chemical reaction where something turns colour for instance.

There’s been a chill in the air lately, as a season of warmth and growth draws to a close, and the harvest is gathered within our shortened days.

Be the first to comment!Common Sense Health: Why is information so hidden in health care?
By Diana Gifford-Jones on September 12th, 2025
Several weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of factual debates. This week let’s talk about transparency. It’s one of those words that gets thrown around in health discussions. Politicians promise it. Hospital administrators profess it. Insurance companies advertise it. But when ordinary people go looking for reliable information about their own health, we hit ...

Be the first to comment!All Psyched Up: Connection
By Linda Hancock on September 6th, 2025
I have been thinking a lot lately about energy. We hear so much in the news about 5G and use the term “making connections” when it comes to marketing and relationships. Christians talk about connecting to God and those who describe their spirituality as an “awakening” state that we are living in a 3D world ... Read More »

School is back in session, which means school zones are active once again. In many communities, these have transitioned to year-round playground zones. For those who haven’t, it’s a good reminder to slow down and stay alert for the increased presence of pedestrians, cyclists and school buses. If you have school-aged children who bike to ...

Be the first to comment!Common Sense Health: Health is the good fortune you make
By Diana Gifford-Jones on September 5th, 2025
When it comes to health, my father always told me that good luck is as important, if not more so, than good genes. Like genes, luck is allocated at life’s outset. Watching nightly news on wars, famine, and other disasters has always made me grateful to have been born in Canada. Yet, there’s something to ... Read More »
