IT looks likely that the months ahead will be remembered as the summer of staycationing, day-trips and picnics. Now a new trail is set to launch this weekend, encouraging people to fill their lunch boxes and picnic baskets with local goodies along the way, while supporting food and drink firms to get back on their feet after the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic. Forth Valley Food and Drink network is behind the trail, which is funded by Scotland Loves Local and features a map highlighting the region’s local food and drink businesses, free outdoor attractions and picnic areas. Carolyn McGill, coordinator of Forth Valley Food and Drink, said the scheme is ideally suited to the times in which we find ourselves.

Stephen Bechtel Jr., the third-generation heir of the Bechtel Corp. construction empire who led its global drive for 30 years and provided President Reagan with key Cabinet members, has died at his home in San Francisco.
The company said Bechtel died Monday at 95. No cause of death was given.
The Stanford-educated engineer became a billionaire while leading the San Francisco-based firm’s expansion through “mega-projects” in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Canada.
At 35, he took over as president from his father in 1960 and oversaw contracts for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in north San Diego County, the Jubail Industrial City in Saudi Arabia and the James Bay hydroelectric project in Canada. In less than two decades, he doubled the company’s size, according to its website.
