The Village Vibe
Cultural Cooking Making Marinara
Manager of Culinary Experience at Levant Grand Wood Park Retirement Residence, Anna, knows that the freshest ingredients make all the dif- ference and often picks herbs and vegetables for her dishes right from the facility’s garden. She recently harvested basil and cherry tomatoes to blend into a rich, marinara sauce, made from scratch.

Antler River Rally is a volunteer group that organizes clean-ups along the Thames River. On September 20, they rallied to the river banks under the newly constructed bridge on Ridout Street and collected nearly 700 lbs of garbage in under two hours. Included in the clean-up crew pictured above are students from Western University’s Environment and Sustainability Program. Tom and Miriam Cull managed the organization for the past 14 years, recently turning the reins over to the London Environmental Network. Submitted by J. Bruce Parker.
