Help Clean Up St. Johns River

Volusia County is looking for volunteers to help clean up the St. Johns River, Florida

Next Saturday, crews will fan out along the water for the 14th annual River Cleanup Day.

Last year, more than 400 volunteers picked up more than 14 tons of debris along the water.

Volunteers will gather at several different locations.

The county is asking volunteers to pre-register online.

The 14th Annual
St. Johns River Cleanup
June 12, 2010
8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

In conjunction with National River Cleanup Week, the next St. Johns River Cleanup is scheduled for June 12, 2010

Participants will also receive a t shirt.

Volunteers should wear comfortable clothing and close-toed shoes and bring work gloves. Rakes, shovels, and trash grabbers may be helpful but not necessary. Steps should be taken to protect yourself from the sun. Bottled water is a good idea to bring. Registration is now closed.

“This beautiful musical Beltane evening features Nigel Shaw and Carolyn Hillyer sowing their soulful and profoundly timeless musical tapestries inside the ancient Druid church of St Nicholas, the oldest spiritual temple in Brighton. These internationally renowned musicians weave together delicate soul-filled flute melodies, extraordinary deep earth songs and powerful tribal dance rhythms to honour the raw power and beauty, hidden spirit and ancient memory of the deep ancestral land. They perform on ancient and handcrafted instruments that include wooden, clay and bone flutes, traditional whistles, small pipes, Slovakian fujara, plus stag, horse, reindeer and salmon drums. Carolyn and Nigel give concerts throughout the world including USA, Japan, Russia, the Arctic, Europe and Central America.

They will be supported by two of 2010’s top upcoming new wave acts, of Shrinari, featuring the mesmerising vocals of Brighton based Lucidia Omamori, and Anima, a hauntingly melodic duo inspired by the ancient and indigenous ways’, who call us to remember”.

VISIT SUNPOWER VEGAN , ORGANIC RESTAURANT IN STUDIO CITY-LOS ANGELES!

Ronald Russell who owns SunPower, has been an immense support to our friends at Rainbow Ark Sanctuary, so we are more than happy to help promote his new business venture – food looks amazing to!

Ron has been a vegetarian more than 30 years. “Friends, both vegetarian and meat eaters, always encouraged me to open a restaurant because they loved my recipes.” Ron is also a writer and his novel, “Don Carina,” is slated for publication March of 2011 and there has been interest already in producing it as a film

Ron also informed us that SunPower have been approved for backstage catering at the Hollywood Bowl for vegetarian entertainers. Some major ones coming up this summer: Peter Gabriel, Sting, Jack Johnson, John Mayer and others

ABOUT

SunPower introduce a fresh, new outlook on food to the culinary landscape of Los Angeles – by providing customers with healthy, organic, and vegan, yet vibrant tasting, meals, they hope to change the way you think about food in general

SunPower offers many raw food choices, as well. Many experts suggest that a rawfood diet is the optimal way to eat. Not cooking food leaves all the natural enzymes for better digestion and less stress on the body and retains all the nutrients in the food, many of which would be destroyed during cooking. Also, raw foods are alkaline and alkaline foods are reported to reduce the chance of manifesting many diseases.

Sunpower doesn’t fry it, overcook it, or kill it, they just give you really tasty food that’s really healthy for you!

Raw and Vegan Chef Joseph Waller

Joseph has an impressive chefing pedigree. He worked at the famed Inn of the Seventh Ray in Topanga Canyon, as well as serving as lead chef at gourmet vegetarian restaurant Fattys in Eagle Rock.
