How hard, they might ask, can it be to fry up chicken fingers and fries? But when classes resumed in September, people dining at one of Canada’s most urban universities learned that more, much more, than a name change accompanied the switch. Local Flavour Plus (LFP), the brainchild of Lori Stahlbrand, a well-known journalist and environmental advocate, is all about “local. ” This young, Toronto-based, non-profit organization will help Aramark serve up portions of good down-home food at the University of Toronto by sourcing products.

(LYONS-CAWSE 60) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 National Publications Since being launched at the beginning of the 2004-05 summer racing season, the 60 ft Vanguard has been one of the most successful conventionally keeled ocean racers in Australia. According to owner Dick Cawse Vanguard was, at the time of writing, the only boat in the world to have beaten the two 30 metre canting keelers Wild Oats XI and Alfa Romeo. Vanguard managed that twice in the 2005 Rolex Rating Series. The canting keelers were sailing in a different division but Vanguard started at the same time and sailed the same course in each race. Designed by Sydney naval architect David Lyons, in association with Cawse, Vanguard shows that Australian design can still compete with the best in the world.

(Editorial) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 Advanstar Communications, Inc. Like the Rest of the West, I’ve just visited China, to attend CPhI-China and see a little bit of the pharmaceutical industry in Shanghai. Shanghai was a revelation. Actually, Pudong was a revelation: Pudong is to Shanghai what Pesht is to Buda or St. Paul is to Minneapolis or Brooklyn was to New York. Twenty years ago, the land was rice paddies, and folks headed across the Huang Pu River to Shanghai and said they were going into the city.

(inside imaging) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 PennWell Publishing Corp. For the past few years the economy of India has been developing at an increasingly rapid pace. From 2002 to 2006, it grew at 7. 5% a year, positioning the country as the fourth largest economy in the world, just behind Japan. The model for its growth has differed from the classic Asian strategy of exporting labor-intensive, low-priced manufactured goods to the West. Instead, India has relied for growth on its domestic markets more than exports, and high-technology more than low-skilled manufacturing.
Fresh From the Farm
Washington Post – Aug 1, 2006
College Park is one of the few farmers markets in Maryland with authorization to buy 30 percent of its produce from out of state. It offers bananas, corn and other out-of- season produce to supplement the fruits and vegetables grown locally. "We are all bona fide farmers , but we just can’t make it only with home-grown stuff," said Miller. By July, 90 percent of the inventory is locally grown, he said. Miller, whose farm is located in Clinton, was one of the original farmers to start the market. Even though "we do very well here," he said, "it is hard to farm when land is $200,000 an acre. "An Eleanor Roosevelt High School band plays as vendor Donna Almquist instructs customers in the fine point of the herb plants and herbal products she sells.

(NOT-FOR-PROFIT report) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 Vendome Group LLC The days of accepting homemade food donations to serve nursing home residents at meals are long gone. Many facilities see today’s regulations as mandating how food is to be prepared and served to residents. But locally grown garden produce and fresh fruit in season are standard fare at Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community in Waverly, Iowa, thanks to a local food-buying program and state-of-the-art kitchen. In 1999, residents began requesting homegrown tomatoes, which are, of course, more flavorful than tomatoes that have traveled across the country to sit in a distributor’s warehouse. Considering that we serve meals to 200 residents each day, finding enough fresh tomatoes can be a challenging task… (NOT-FOR-PROFIT report) –> COPYRIGHT 2006 Vendome Group LLC The days of accepting homemade food donations to serve nursing home residents at meals are long gone.

As a certified dietary manager and vice-president of support services at Bartels Lutheran Retirement Community, I contacted the director of a local hospital that used fresh homegrown produce in its operation and procured a list of growers. We began to buy from some of the producers we contacted–mostly tomatoes and sweet corn.
