New Seasons Market to open 13th store in food desert Regional chain New Seasons Market to bring 150 jobs to local community by Sustainable Food NewsJanuary 5, 2012 Regional grocery chain New Seasons Market said Thursday it is converting a long-vacant site in its hometown of Portland, Ore., into its 13th store. The company said the 30,000-square-foot grocery store will bring over 150 new jobs to the community once it opens in 2013. No specific date has been set for groundbreaking or the store’s opening. The three-acre, now-vacant site, formerly home to Interstate Bakeries and commonly known as the “Bakery Blocks,” is in Portland's Eliot neighborhood.

“New Seasons’ proposed new store is great news; it will bring fresh, local food and groceries to neighborhoods that last year we identified in the Portland Plan as a food desert,” said City of Portland Mayor Sam Adams. New Seasons opened its first store in Washington in November. Send Us Your Comments. Getting Creative Things Done: How To Fit Hard Thinking Into a Busy Schedule. It started a few weeks ago. I had to write an academic research statement: a high stakes, ambiguous, beast of a creative project. For the first week, I kept telling myself, “this is my most important priority,” and hacked away at the project whenever I got a chance.

I continuously felt guilty about not spending enough time writing. One night, toward the end of the week, I holed up in my office until 9 pm, desperate to get things done. The result was near useless. I had 15 pages of rambling text (a research statement should be 3-5 pages, at most), and still had more to cover. The message was confused and drowning in adjectives.This situation is common for to-do list creatives – workers who have the juggle creative work – like writing or devising strategy – with logistical work – like prompt email replies and meetings. Here’s our quandary: To-do list creatives advance in their careers based on the quality of their creative output. Fortunately, however, there is hope… Why the System Works. John Rooks | LOHAS.

Market Forces: Creating Jobs through Public Investment in Local and Regional Food Systems. Report Details Economic Benefits of Farmers Markets and Other Local Food Outlets As farmers market shoppers have long known, buying food directly from the people who grew it is a great way to add freshness and flavor to your table and more fruits and vegetables to your diet. But locally grown food is not only good for your taste buds—it creates jobs, keeps money in local economies, promotes community development, and can reduce the environmental and public health costs of the food we eat.

To maximize these benefits, we need new policies aimed at helping local and regional food systems thrive and expand, according to Market Forces , a new UCS report that reviews recent research on these systems and their economic effects. The report recommends the following policy changes: Increase funding for programs that support local and regional food systems. Raise the level of research on the impacts of local and regional food systems. Support the realization of farmers market certification standards.
