Kids were slipping and sliding, Saturday as the Biggar Fire Department laid out a slip and slide at the old Diamond Lodge.

Young kids - and some not-so-young kids - enjoyed cool water on a day where the weather actually cooperated, putting smiles on all who beat the heat with a bit of watery fun.

RM of Biggar No. 347 Funding Contributions In 2015, the RM of Biggar Council implemented a 5.5 Commercial Mill Rate Factor, which was used to provide major contribution to the Biggar Rural District Fire Association.

This funding allocation was used, in part, to purchase a new fire truck.

The new fire truck is scheduled to arrive by the end of August or beginning of September of this year. In addition to this, the Rural Municipality of Biggar No. 347 also provides various annual fund-

ing allocations to the Town of Biggar, Biggar Library, Biggar Museum, and the Wheatland Library to contribute towards maintaining a variety of recreational services within Biggar.

It is the intention of the RM of Biggar Council to continue to support the Biggar Rural District Fire Association and the continuing of recreational services within the Town of Biggar.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Administration Office.

Get yer burgers, get yer treats . . . The Biggar Museum and Gallery held a fund raiser barbecue, Friday, giving residents a chance to enjoy some great food and company. Well attended, the

barbecue and dessert was a way of recognizing the volunteers and sponsors who make the cultural fixture such an important part of our community.

Tragic death north of Biggar RCMP continue to investigate the shooting death of 22-year-old Colton Boushie of the Red Pheasant First Nation.

Boushie, along with four others, entered a private property by a vehicle, were encountered by the property owners, when the shooting occurred, August 9, at approximately 5:30 p.m.

A verbal exchange occurred in an attempt to get the vehicle to leave the yard and a firearm was dis-

charged, striking Boushie who was in the vehicle.

Emergency services were contacted and upon arrival, Boushie was declared deceased at the scene.

Charged in the shooting were 54-year-old Gerald Stanley. Three people in the vehicle were also arrested as part of a related theft investigation. They were later released, but RCMP said charges related to property offences in the area are still being considered.

Stanley appeared in North Battleford Provincial Court, August 11. He was charged with second degree murder in relation to the shooting.

Biggar RCMP along with RCMP Major Crime Unit North are continuing the investigation into the events leading up to the arrival of the vehicle to the yard, the circumstances involving the death, and the actions following.

Tiny Tot Nursery set for another exciting year It’s still holiday time, but parents are being encouraged to think about the upcoming school year, and Tiny Tot Nursery is gearing up for another year, starting with their registration this September 1.

Tiny Tot, which will begin their year September 13, is open to kids 3 to 4 years of age, and is held at St. Gabriel School. Demonda Evanisky, who runs the nursery, is asking parents to think about them as their child’s entry to the

grade-school years that lie around the corner.

Evanisky has run Tiny Tots for a year and is an accredited nursery operator with an Early Childhood Care education credentials. She was thrilled with last year’s attendance, and promises a fun-filled new year with some unique events and programs.

“This year we’re working on a relationship with the day care. We’re going to try and work out a schedule that parents don’t have to leave work

to drive their kids back and forth between day care and Tiny Tot. We’re going to take turns making sure that the kids get back and forth,” Evanisky explains.

For the kids themselves, Evanisky says tots will be travelling to space, discovering ocean life, visiting the beach . . . all fun, learning events.

“A lot of people think that play school is simply that, “playing”. The Tiny Tot Nursery School never was that, it was structured. We have different

themes for the month - we are constantly running new fun-based on education things, we’re learning the alphabet, numbers . . .” the list goes on and on.

Evanisky explains that Tiny Tot provides the precursor to their child’s learning life, readying them for the all-important grade schooling that will form them through until their teenage years. She adds that with today’s modern two-income households, parents not only need a care provider, but a means of putting their kids in the best position for learning, all in a safe, fun-filled environment.

The Tiny Tot day closely mirrors the school day, with 3 year olds, 9:3011:30 a.m. and 4 year olds, 1:30-3:30 p.m. The program is independent of St. Gabriel School, but Evanisky stresses that they have helped Tiny Tot out immensely, allowing them access to the gym and other St. Gabriel facilities.

“If it wasn’t for St. Gabriel School and their wonderful staff, I don’t think Tiny Tots would be as successful as it is,” a grateful Evanisky describes.

With schooling so very important in our day and age, Tiny Tot Nursery sets learning behaviours early, getting them ready for their grade school

years.

Again, Tiny Tot Nursery registration is this September 1, 6:30 p.m. at St. Gabriel School.

Letters to the Editor…

Dear Editor: Pure water will someday be worth more than gold if we continue to deplete and contaminate our finite supplies.

Fracking is, in my opinion, unbelievably stupid.

They are removing trillions of litres of water that they contaminate so thoroughly it can never be put back in the natural water cycle and must be pumped deep underground where it has the potential to contaminate the ground water.

This can also cause earthquakes where none have ever occurred before.

Apparently there are 750 compounds that are added to the fracking water.

They affect air quality, causing cancer, allergies, neurological problems and other sicknesses.

Methane gas produced can make water undrinkable and if it leaks into a house, could turn it into a potential time bomb waiting for a spark.

In Canada, the government owns the mineral rights and fracking is a lucrative source of income. This is a short-term benefit to all Canadians, however, the long-term potentially disastrous effects are so severe and

irreversible that they should be establishing strict guidelines and policies to protect our most valuable resource -- pure water.

This is not happening and in fact they are making special rules for the removal of fresh water for fracking that other water users do not receive.

So sad.

Cheryl A. Martens, BA, RMA On behalf of Council, RM of Biggar No. 347

by Aaron Wudrick At the very least, it can’t hurt, right?

That’s a tempting conclusion to draw when considering Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest “reforms” of Canada’s Senate. Gone is the longstanding tradition of the Prime Minister using a Senate seat as a reward for party activists, fundraisers, defeated candidates and other sinecure-seekers.

Instead, we now have a new “independent” appointment process, with prospective candidates able to submit applications, which are then vetted by a special appointments committee (the members of which are – of course – chosen by the Prime Minister).

Indeed, there’s little reason to doubt Trudeau’s sincerity with respect to making the Senate less partisan. In January 2014, well before he became Prime Minister, he booted all Senators from the Liberal Party caucus (where they promptly reorganized themselves into – wait for it – a Senate Liberal caucus, though they do not attend caucus together with Liberal Party MPs).

And since becoming Prime Minister, his first Senate appointments have essentially been accomplished people with impressive resumes.

So what’s the downside? What’s wrong with trying to transform the Senate from a partisan chamber full of unqualified folks into an independent one with highly qualified ones?

Setting aside for a moment whether we even need or want a Senate at all, the question that first must be answered is: what role should the Sen-

Senators appointed under this new process will almost certainly be highly educated, accomplished professionals with a long track record of success in their fields of expertise. They will be, in a word, elites.

And here’s the thing about elites.

They tend to think that they know much better than non-elites. After all, they’re smarter and more qualified.

And they were chosen for the role specifically because of those qualifications – unlike MPs, who are merely “elected” by the masses under a party banner.

Now, these elites may have entirely good intentions. And it’s certainly possible that legislation sent to the Senate may be “bad” legislation that many people wouldn’t want to become law.

But good intentions, and the quality of the legislation are completely beside the point. Simply put, Senators have no right to block the will of elected politicians; elite status does not bestow the legitimacy that can only come from popular approval of voters.

Those celebrating the new “independent” Senate appointment process may want to dial back the enthusiasm.

A less partisan Senate may soothe the concerns of those simply troubled by the hyper-partisanship prevalent in Canadian politics today. But it might also lead to law-making by self-important elites who think they know much better than the representatives chosen directly by Canadians – which would undermine, rather than strengthen our democracy.

ate have?

The House of Commons is composed of elected Members of Parliament.

Canadians cast votes to choose their MPs, giving MPs a democratic mandate. At the next election, Canadians can pass judgment on their MP with their votes – an important mechanism for accountability.

The Senate is, of course, unelected.

Accordingly, it lacks a democratic mandate from Canadians and a clear accountability mechanism, which is why its role has traditionally been described as a house of “sober second thought”. Senators examine legislation, and may tinker with it at the margins, but the unwritten rule is that in the end they must allow the will of the elected House to prevail.

With a few notable exceptions (including gutting a bill that would have imposed transparency on unions and one that would have stripped the pensions from politicians convicted of certain crimes) the Senate has normally approved legislation passed by the House.

However, this might change with the new process introduced by the Trudeau government. New “independent” Senators could be emboldened to test out their new levels of “independence” – particularly in the form of pushing back even harder on legislation passed by the House. Indeed, some people may even hope that happens. And if it does, it will be undermining the will of the House – and by extension, Canadians.

Memes part of cultural revolution An Internet meme is a hijacking of the original idea. Instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, Internet memes are altered deliberately by human creativity.

There is no attempt at accuracy of copying, as with genes - and as with memes in their original version.

Richard Dawkins Richard Dawkins first coined the word “meme” in his book The Selfish Gene. He contended that evolution depended not on the particular chemical basis of genetics but on the existence of a self-replicating unit of transmission, which is the gene in biological evolution.

Later, with the popularity of the Internet a “meme” came to mean an Internet joke -- an activity, concept, catchphrase or piece of media which spreads from person to person.

Or, another way of putting it is the meme is a way to communicate cultural ideas, symbols, or practices through writing, speech, gestures, rituals. Those who support the concept regard memes as “genes” of cul-

ture in that they spread suits, mainly our iPads. or self-replicate, in this I was reading a book on case over the Internet. mine but the other two So, you might wonder were watching YouTube how I came or playing a upon this game. After idea of a a while we meme.

Circling under the sun Years ago, when we were just young fellows on our folks farm in Great Bend, our little world consisted of our relations, parents and the neighbours, who lived around us.

And it is no wonder, that as we grew older, that we wanted to spread our vision a little.

We were quite content with being young, I think, but as the years passed, for all its little complexities the ground beneath our feet became

a little boring, and we started to look up.

We began to notice a few strange things up there like the different phases of the moon, and like all young people, we began to wonder.

And so, about 1925, young Bobby Mason lay down on a grassy slope just south of our house, stared up into the sky.

When his mother saw him lying out there, she kind of scolded him.

“Come on in out of the hot sun Bobby before

16083LL2

you get some kind of a stroke.’

Mothers are like that. They seem to care whether their little boys have sunstrokes or not.

Young Bobby, who still doesn’t know many of the answer, took one long look at the sky and answered her with questions (he’s still like that too).

“Mummy, what is beyond that big bird circling around up there?”

I think that “mummy” tried to explain, but to this day, he has never understood.

A few years later, after we had grown up a little, on hot cloudless evening we threw ourselves down on a patch of grass near the house and really thrilled at the show of falling stars as little bits of former planets entered our atmosphere.

“How far up do you think our sky goes?” says Bill.

Of course, none of us knew, and I don’t think that we ever will find out.

Not being remotely related to Albert Einstein, of course, none of use knew. His relativity theory hadn’t been published yet.

As we lay there on that

cool path of plants, we passed opinions back and forth, none of them have been published either.

That was back about 1932 and as far as I know they haven’t figured out how far “infinity” is yet. As a matter of fact, I don’t think that many of us care.

Whole “thesis” have been written that don’t seem to know much.

I suppose it was about this time that young Bob took Bill’s new bike out to ride in the hills. Bikes are sure good riding when they are on pavement, but in the sandy slopes, loose sand and always present brush and cactus, they sure left a lot to be desired. It wasn’t many miles in, when Y.T. stopped to lie on a sandy slope and watch the hawk circling overhead.

Of course having far better eyesight than he did, they let out a scream now and then, to let him know they saw him.

I’m sure that as they looked down they wondered what is that doing way out here in our territory? But as that stranger looked up he mused to his young self, I wonder what it is like to be away up there? And I wonder what it is like in that blue sky far beyond.

It took quite a few years to find out what it is like “way up there”.

Maybe we haven’t found most of the answers, but starting about 1960 some of nature’s highest birds are starting to look up.

Then, one night, while searching the skies, we noticed one star moving a lot faster than the rest.

“Holy Annie,” we exclaimed. “Things must be up there somewhere.”

We didn’t know yet that puny man had finally decided to find a better world than the one we already had.

I suppose that a fellow should write here something like “here endeth the lesson”. Then television took over. We almost had to forget about what was “back of beyond up there. And agree with what TV said.

When we were just young fellows up in Great Bend (south of Radisson), one of the most popular resort places in the area was Meeting Lake, just north of Mullingar, Sask.

As we tip-toed across the hot sands of the beach, we noticed that the shallow water nearer the shore was a lot warmer than the rest, so we Bob Mason often land in that comfortable water, and looked up.

What we saw up there almost seemed to us to be foreign. We couldn’t fly and ride the small whirlwinds that crossed the like, our friends and our world were beside us down here.

Maybe a fellow shouldn’t write this way and give some of the readers the impression that he saw part of our future up there, (I dunno).

What he is trying to write about (not too well I guess) is the comparison between what might

Notable Notes

be and what we do have.

Our created world does have an infinity up there, that has attracted man’s attention for thousands of years, and yet, for all his efforts he cannot produce one single growing thing. While down here we do have hawks circling under the sun, cool grass to be on during a hot day, and lake water lapping on the shore.

Below are a few lines about man’s efforts: “That fellow by the ditch back there was from out west.”

“Out west, you say.

How far away from where the sun went down?”

“A million miles or more, I think, no one has ever guessed.

How far a European war is from a Prairie town!

Beside a bit of road he lies and, I do have to tell, A bit of breeze was blowing and it ruffled through his hair.

And eyes that looked one moment on a world that seemed a hello Now peered into the heavens with an everlasting stare.”

Actually both of the scenes we write about are part of today’s world.

One scene created thousands of years ago, and the other created by man in his endless search for a better world.

Do we have a choice?

Genetically modified versus “our food is hormone free” Recently I have spent some free time flipping through livestock pages on the Internet.

It was/is, for me something of a reflective process. I grew up on a farm with a primary focus on livestock. My summer holidays were spent at summer fairs showing livestock, and a rather varied list of livestock over the years; hogs, sheep, beef cattle, dairy goats and believe it or not, chickens.

It is still one of my sharpest memories, me as a youngster, and the neighbour who helped out on occasion on the farm out with fish nets catching some free range laying hens so we could take them to Shand Fair, the only fair on the summer circuit we used to attend that had a poultry show. Interesting I had planned a day off this summer to take in the Shand Fair, again as a way to maybe turn back time a little, but work got squarely in the way of

ing hens of producers in Canada.

The silkie chicken is also black-skinned, with feathering again very different from the more commonly perceived breeds.

The situation is no less dramatic when you cross from farm livestock to the world of common household pets.

There is little to suggest Chihuahua dogs and Newfoundland and Shar Pei dogs all come from common roots, but they actually do have similar lineage in the far distant past.

Pigeons are the same.

We see rollers and tumblers developed from

certain traits (a roller pigeon is a domesticated breed or variety of pigeon that has been selected for its ability to tumble or roll in the air).

Even gold fish have the hand of selective breeding to modify the species.

The bubble eye variety perhaps the most dramatic example.

Genetic modification is hardly new.

The techniques for achieving it are certainly advancing, and the ability to influence one species with traits from another are emerging, but it still is far from a new endeavour on our part.

Humankind has moulded many species of the years and we have as a society accepted them as commonplace already.

Joint efforts ensure grain transportation system is prepared to move harvest The Government of Saskatchewan, along with grain producers and customers, are continuing discussions with transportation service providers to prepare for a large crop this season.

Despite localized issues, projected yields are expected to be above average for cereal and oilseed crops.

“We are encouraged to see crops across Saskatchewan doing particularly well,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Getting products to market is critical to our success and, in 2013, we saw the challenges a large crop presented shippers, railways and ports. We don’t want to see a repeat situation this year.”

With improved varieties and agronomic practices, production levels are growing in the province. The need for enhanced transparency and accountability within the grain handling and transportation system has remained a priority since 2013.

There have been numerous requests to find solutions to ensure producers get their products to customers safely, efficiently, reliably and at a fair cost.

“In early July, we wrote the federal government and the two railways

to advise of a potential large crop,” Stewart said. “We stressed the importance of ensuring the grain handling and transportation system is prepared to move this year’s crop in a timely and efficient manner.”

“We continue to urge Transport Canada to ensure contingencies are in place should issues arise this season,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “In the long term, we want to see changes to The Canada Transportation Act that ensure Saskatchewan businesses are able to move goods reliably and at a competitive price to our international customers, while still ensuring public safety.”

“We hope all parties will step up and do what is necessary to move the crop this year,” Stewart said. “For example, if there is a strike at the Port of Prince Rupert, we encourage the federal government to consider back-to-work legislation to ensure the timely movement of harvest.”

Transportation continues to be a priority for members of the New West Partnership (NWP), with the New West Transportation Infrastructure Summit in 2014 focusing on strengthening collabora-

tion between the supply chain players and building capacity for longterm growth in western Canada.

Since then, the Pacific Gateway Alliance, a NWP working group focusing on performance and market access, has made significant progress to better manage system capacity, including the hosting of a grain transportation workshop in the spring. An open dialogue between producers, shippers and grain transportation service providers is necessary as harvest approaches.

Saskatchewan products are in high demand across the globe and getting goods to their destination on time maintains the province’s credibility and relationship with international customers.

Canadaʼs Penny an Olympic superstar Canada’s sports editors won’t have to wait until December to send in their votes for this country’s female athlete of the year.

The penny coin might be history, but our Penny is making history.

Penelope (Penny) Oleksiak of Toronto went from a virtual unknown on the Canadian sports scene to an athlete with immediate first-name status during the first week of the Summer Olympics at Rio. Tiger.

LeBron. Arnie. Now Penny.

And she’s only 16.

From Vancouver Island to Cape Spear, Newfoundland, Penny Oleksiak became an overnight sensation when she was part of a relay swim team that won Canada’s first medal at the Olympics in Rio and then proceeded to win three more, including a gold in the 100-metre freestyle, on her own. No Canadian athlete has won more medals in one Summer Olympics.

While Oleksiak and the Olympics is all about winning, there is one loser in all this. Golfer Brooke Henderson may want to send a note to Oleksiak saying a sarcastic ‘thanks’ for stealing the athlete-of-the-year award from her grasp.

Until Penny’s performance at Rio, Henderson and her No. 2 world ranking in women’s golf, and her major victory at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in June, had given her a virtual lock on the award.

Henderson has 2017 through 2019 to try to win the national award, but when 2020 comes around, it will be another opportunity for Oleksiak to shine on an Olympic stage. And according to

Mark Tewksbury, a former Canadian Olympian, Oleksiak will be stronger and better in four years.

Meanwhile, major colleges in the U.S. are salivating at the thought of getting Oleksiak to attend and compete for their NCAA schools for the next four years. Some observers are suggesting, however, that Oleksiak could eschew college and turn professional. One

estimate had her possibly earning a minimum of $250,000 in her first year from endorsements contracts with swimming gear companies alone. In Canada, her smiling face would also likely show up in commercials for banks and major companies such as Canadian Tire, Tim Hortons and Sport Chek.

The most likely future for Oleksiak, however, is schooling at a U.S. college, with great coaching, great competition and great preparation for 2020 in Tokyo. And a whack of additional medals to hang around her neck.

Four ways to get 30 minutes of exercise daily

(NC) As the days get cooler, it’s easy to get off track from your daily activity goals with fun summer activities such as swimming and beach volleyball no longer an option. However, accomplishing 30 minutes of exercise per day can be easy with the right motivation and equipment.

Here are some easy ways to get your recommended daily exercise, all year long.

1. Dress for the weather. If you enjoy exercising outside, dressing for the weather can make those 30 minutes more enjoyable. Get in that run or walk by wearing a jacket that has warm fabric and stretch.

2. Workout while

getting housework done. It may be tempting to hire someone else to do your housework, but these chores can also contribute to your daily physical activity. Cleaning the gutters, raking the yard and removing any leftover plants or weeds in the garden can get the body moving and work up a sweat.

3. Clear up some space. Push that couch and coffee table aside and make your living room or basement a mini gym.

There are many workout videos available online to follow, and you can even find one to target a specific body part. All you need is a workout mat and a couple of accessories like a skipping rope, tension

You are Invited!

Invited

band and weights.

4. Exercise while socializing. Instead of inviting friends and family over for a sit-down coffee, take the coffee to-go and head outside for a brisk walk. Not only will you get some social time, but having someone else to exercise with will help motivate you in your exercise goals. For those longer social walks, make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes.

Please drop in for treats and coffee and help celebrate our…

Rieger, Cassie Rieger. Honourary Bearers were all those who shared in Lena’s life. Active Bearers were Darin Rieger, Suzanne Rieger, Dan Taylor, Kirk Taylor, Delmer Friesen, Mark Carlson. Special Memories by family were at the luncheon.

Interment followed at Woodlawn Cemetery, Saskatoon, Sask.

Tributes may be made to the Biggar and District Health Centre Long Term Care Activity Fund, Box 130, Biggar, SK., S0K 0M0 Grondin Funeral Services, Biggar, entrusted with arrangements, “Our family serving your family since 1963�. gfsc1

April 4, 1919 - August 10, 2016 The family is saddened to announce the passing of Lena Novicki at the Biggar and District H e a l t h Center, with her family and Father Bedard by her side.

She is survived by her children: Clare (Delmer) Friesen of Biggar, Colette (Mark) Carlson of Calgary, Karen Daoust of Saskatoon, Pat (Tally) Novicki of Saskatoon and Judy Taylor of Biggar, five grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. She is predeceased by husband, Nicholas Novicki; daughter, Percie Stark; and son-in-law, Ron Taylor.

Lena was born in the Redberry Lake area, Saskatchewan, the youngest of six children. Her sister told us that she was one of the happiest little girls she had ever seen, always smiling and singing.

Her parents taught her the value of education and mom was very proud of becoming a teacher herself. She taught in one room country schools and subbed in Delisle Composite High School to supplement the family income. Her many talents included speaking three languages fluently, having a beautiful soprano voice, growing amazing flower and vegetable gardens and having the ability to turn any simple food into an amazing feast to which everyone was welcome.

Mom was completely devoted to her family and faith. There was no sacrifice too great for her children and no joy greater than having her family gathered together, especially at mass. She taught Catechism, led church choirs, and was a CWL member for most of her life.

Mom and Dad spent their married life in Rosthern, Hague, Donovan and Delisle. In the fall of 2011, we moved mom to Biggar. Shortly thereafter, she became too ill to live independently and became a resident of Diamond Lodge, where she greatly enjoyed doing puzzles, search words, playing cards and joining in the daily activities especially BINGO. She was blessed to spend three and a half years in the phenomenal care of Dr. McKee and the staff of the Health Centre. She will be sadly missed.

Prayers were held on Sunday, August 14 at 7:30 p.m. with Mark Carlson and Delmer Friesen as readers; and Mass of Christian Burial was held at St. Gabriel Roman Catholic Church, Biggar, Sask. on Monday, August 15, 2016 with Father Michel Bedard as celebrant. Readers were Michelle Daoust, Suzanne Rieger; Cross Bearer, Kirk Taylor; Prayers of the Faithful, Cathy Taylor; and Gift Bearers were Judy Taylor, Courtney

MEMORIAM COVEY, Kenneth Reid: July 29, 1918 - August 13, 2004. “Those we love remain with us Love itself lives on, Cherished memories never fade Because a loved one’s gone.

Those we love can never be More than a thought apart, For as long as there is memory, They’ll live on in our hearts.�

I miss you, Dad Love always, Leah 33p1 SCHOMMER, David: October 15, 1939 - August 23, 2011. “Sometimes we just sit quietly reflecting for awhile imagining your voice, your face, you warm and loving smile. For it’s so lonely to recall the happy times we had when you played such a special role as husband, Dad, grandpa, papa and great-grandpa.

And at this very special time, we only wished you knew that we give all the world today for one more hour with you. But we still have our memories and since we have been apart, it comforts us so much to know that you’re right here in our hearts.�

Love and miss you so much‌ Marcella; Shelley, Terry, Brenda, Marcel, Cheryl and their families 33c1

JACKPOT NOW is…

Better food for better health (NC) Many foods like fruits and vegetables are natural sources of vitamins and other nutrients that are essential for good health.

Modern plant breeding is helping make good foods even better by giving them cancer-fighting properties, or the ability to combat growing public health problems like obesity and diabetes.

It’s widely accepted that dark blue and purple fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and purple cabbage, are great sources of the anthocyanins, the antioxidants we need to stay healthy.

These antioxidants are scavengers of free radicals — high energy particles in the human body that can damage cells — meaning that they can help fight inflammation, diabetes and cancer, as well as help with eye cell repair.

A purple tomato, for example, has been developed in the UK to have higher levels of anthocyanins. Although not commercially available yet, this innovation could boost the nutritional value of meals from pasta and pizza to bruschetta and salsa.

University of Florida

researchers are developing “blood” limes with purple pulp high in anthocyanins. They’re also developing a blood orange – they normally grow well in Spain and Italy – that can thrive in Florida’s subtropical citrus belt.

Iron deficiency is the most widespread form of malnutrition, says the World Health Organization, and a lack of zinc causes stunted growth. A global research team has developed rice with high levels of iron and zinc that could help global hunger and malnutrition.

costs in check. Efficient, science-based farming practices that include the use of crop protection products and plant biotechnology mean healthy and plentiful crops.

For example, crop protection technologies and plant science give farmers the ability to produce 83 per cent more vegetables and potatoes, 72 per cent more fruit, and 47 per cent more grains.

A recent study has even found that Canadians would pay an average of 55 per cent more for their groceries if farmers didn’t have access to modern agricultural technologies like pesticides and plant biotechnology. The research

by Ottawa-based Rias Inc. found that the average Canadian family

Leslie’s Drugstore

TICKETS AVAILABE @ THE INDEPENDENT, MONDAY-FRIDAY

would pay about $4,400 a year more for food.

This translates into savings of approximately $60 billion for the country as a whole.

The study indicates that the use of science and technology in food production results in more food available at lower prices than would be possible without the use of synthetic fertilizers, crop protection products, and modern plant science. These science-based production methods will help keep healthy food options affordable for Canadians. And they’re a great example of the kind of productivity that is needed to feed a global population expected to surpass nine billion by 2050.

Cut grocery bills in half with science (NC) Even though Canada has one of the lowest food costs anywhere in the world, our food costs are still rising. In 2015, Canadians spent 11 cents of every dollar on food.

This year, February 9 was the day the average Canadian had earned enough money to pay for a year’s worth of groceries, a full three days later than the previous year.

Rising costs mean that about four million Canadians or 12.7 per cent of households experience some level of food insecurity, says Proof, a research group studying the issue. And Food Banks Canada numbers show that more than 850,000 Canadians rely on food banks monthly.

Fortunately, science can help keep food
