In conversation with Ken Hunt, president of St. Joseph Media, Lola Kassim joined TL Insiders on April 27 for an exciting installment of the Future of the Restaurant Industry summit. As general manager of Uber Eats Canada, Kassim discussed the role Uber Eats has played in building resilience within Canada’s restaurant ecosystem during the pandemic.
“Almost overnight, Uber Eats went from being an optional part of a restaurant’s business model to being an absolute necessity,” says Kassim. “It was important for us at Uber Eats to do our part in supporting the community in every way we could.” The company quickly adopted a contactless delivery model, an option for customers to donate directly to restaurants, and even invested in marketing campaigns so restaurants could be more easily discovered.

JACKSON, MI – Kenneth Melville could be seen everywhere in Jackson, whether he was driving his Jackson Fire Department chief service car home, at the Cascades Golf Course, having breakfast at Spring Arbor’s Wooden Spoon diner, riding in parades on his high-wheeler bike or drilling with Jackson’s famous Zouaves.
Melville’s impact in the Jackson community spanned his entire life, which ended on Aug. 30, 2020, at age 93. Now, his family is honoring his legacy by sponsoring the Michigan Theatre of Jackson’s popcorn drive-up pick-up from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 15-16, at 124 N. Mechanic St.

Carol Charman had every motivation to make the lives of Kiwis with intellectually disabilties better - she was essentially fighting and dedicating herself to her two daughters. The Napier 72-year-old has today been named on the New Year s Honours list for her services to youth and those with disabilities - receiving the Queen s Service Medal.
The retired nuclear medicine technologist has been volunteering all her life - but began assisting IHC, an organisation providing support and care for people with intellectual disabilities, because of her daughters.
Nestled in the river hills of Marshall, Missouri, Bill and Sue Ellen Stoufferâs 20 acres of chestnuts make Cedar Hill Farms one of the largest chestnut orchards in the state.
The Stouffers made the switch from row crops to agroforestry in the early 2000s after Bill was elected to the state Senate. To date, theyâve planted around 1,500 trees and sell to more than 600 customers in 46 of the 50 U.S. states.
âItâs very different from being in a combine or the cab of a tractor all day,â Bill Stouffer said when comparing chestnut harvesting to growing a row crop like corn. âI love the smell of diesel fuel and fresh dirt, donât get me wrong . (but) we enjoy being able to hear the birds and see the seasons change.â
