Ted Turner

Ted Turner

Throughout his career, Ted Turner has won recognition for his entrepreneurial acumen;

sharp business skills; a vision that transformed television; leadership qualities that won

sports championships; and his unprecedented philanthropy. This January, Mr. Turner

partnered with Dome-Tech Solar to create DT Solar, a Turner renewable energy company.

Larry Hagman

Larry Hagman

Larry Hagman is probably best recognized as the ruthless oil baron, J.R. Ewing. But in real

life this oil baron is a major supporter of renenewable energy. Larry has three solar arrays

on his property in Ojai, California, drives a Toyota Prius Hybrid car and an electric Dodge Gem,

and uses alternative energy sources whenever possible.

Ed Begley Jr.

Ed Begley, Jr.

As environmental issues become more pressing, there are two possible responses: forget it

and hope that government and corporations will figure it out, or take action yourself. In the “take

action yourself” camp, few individuals are leading the way more than Ed Begley, Jr.

More than 10,000 attendees expected…

Locally Grown Food And The Slow Food Movement

Written by

THIS Thursday, 6 p.m.—Locally grown food and the Slow Food Movement!

While many are buying strawberries, lettuce and other produce trucked 3,000
miles from California, SouthCoasters can enjoy greens, veggies and fruit
grown right here in our region.

This month the Sustainable SouthCoast Network will attend a talk and quick
farm tour organized by the Allen¹s Neck Friends Meeting as part of its
Summer Conversations series.

Thursday, July 12 ,at 6 p.m. we will meet at the Jansal Valley Farm Barn at
443 Barney’s Joy Road. The farm is 2.6 miles from Davoll’s store. Travel
south on Horseneck Rd. to the corner of Horseneck Rd and Barney’s Joy Road
(2 miles) where the brick wall is. Travel .6 miles down Barney’s Joy Road
and Jansal Farm is on the left. Come early for a walking tour of the farm at
6:00 PM, presentation begins at 6:45 PM.

The topic is “Slow Food Movement”. The Atlantic’s Senior Editor and food
critic, Corby Kummer, will join local gourmet produce king Henry Wainer at
Sid Wainer & Son’s Jansal Valley Farm to discuss the Slow Food Movement,
(think , opposite of fast food – in other words, you grow it, you cook it,
you eat it.) and growing public interest in healthy, sustainable
agriculture.

Just down the road is Eva¹s Garden, a source of a wide variety of greens and
herbs, as well as fruit, grown organically (certified!) by Eva Sommaripa,
who attends our gatherings. Eva¹s farm is a beautiful example of how to
grow a lot of food in a small area. You might have seen Eva¹s face on signs
at Whole Foods stores all over New England. She was featured in an in-depth
article in Edible Boston this month.

Remember, the farm tour is at 6 p.m. We can check in afterward and see Eva¹s
garden (without disrupting Eva, who is intensely busy with the growing
season).
