Residents meeting at Block 861 in Woodlands Street 83 last night to discuss the issue. Among their concerns are increased traffic and how such a centre would be 'inauspicious' as it may mean more deaths in the estate. -- ST PHOTO: CHEW SENG KIM

By Janice Tai & Peter Wong

The Ministry of Health (MOH) will review plans to build a day-care centre for the elderly in the void decks of two facing Housing Board blocks in Woodlands, after residents there petitioned against the move.

Some argued that the area was already overcrowded with other public facilities. Others cited concerns like increased traffic, and how such a centre would be 'inauspicious' as it may mean more deaths in the estate.

The ministry's promise came even as Health Minister Gan Kim Yong told netizens that such centres were necessary to provide the elderly with a convenient place near their homes for them to stay active and engaged.

He said the ministry should always take into account the views of all parties and find the best solutions, but cautioned: 'We may not be able to satisfy everyone, and some sensible compromises may have to be made. Hope to have understanding from those affected.'

Unease over elder-care centre in void decks

I’ve been fascinated by parking decks for years, starting with the Hess’s department store deck in my hometown of Allentown. The exit was a single spiral of concrete, winding down to the street.

As a Penn State freshman, my end-of-film- class project was a grainy black-and- white meditation on the Eisenhower Parking Deck. I think parking decks are architectural Mobius strips and a ripe metaphor for many sustainability issues.

There’s a lot of discussion among local foodies about how to support new and experienced local farmers better and how to expand local food production capacity. And there’s talk about how to create more markets — outdoor seasonal farmers markets, indoor year-round groceries and institutional buyers’ markets serving universities and hospitals.

But farmers hesitate to ramp up production without steady buyers, and buyers hesitate to make new purchasing commitments without knowing there’s a reliable supply. Which comes first, the farmers or the market?

Which should be a higher priority: aggregating consumers through food-buying cooperatives? Aggregating producers through farmers’ associations? Setting up local distribution hubs to help farmers, buyers and cooks collaboratively work out insurance, bidding, refrigerated storage, inventory control, payment and delivery?

Then there’s the tension between competition and cooperation. Sometimes I hear that local farmers and farmers markets hesitate to band together for marketing and other common challenges, because they produce similar crops and serve similar customer bases. But many also recognize that working together to build the overall customer base and coordinate planting can benefit all of them, as it does for farmers in the Tuscarora Organic Growers Cooperative.

In past agrarian societies, how did farmers choose crops so as not to drive fellow farmers out of business? Or did their agrarian cultural identity preoccupy them more with the survival of the whole community than the survival of each farm individually?

Given that today’s farmers must cope with the demands of competitive markets in a declining but still pervasive industrial culture, how do we keep them going and build viable cooperative systems around them so they stay safe and strong as the competitive system erodes around them?

One piece of the puzzle may be creating a clear role for local governments. Public health depends on public nutrition. If “government” denotes the group of people charged and funded by people to implement their community priorities, then local governments arguably have a stake in helping bring local farmers and eaters together.

In response to real estate market disasters — broken title chains, foreclosures, blight — some communities are linking publicly owned banks with eminent domain, mixed-use zoning and infrastructure retrofits to return sidelined properties to productive use in the neo-agrarian economy. Which leads back to parking decks and the movement converting car-oriented public space to food-oriented public space.

State College has at least one mixed-use parking deck, on Fraser Street. We could set up a Local Food Fund — supported by voluntary donations from taxpayers who think food access is a public good (or even a human right), and administered by the public works department — to renovate the top level of a downtown parking deck into a centrally located, publicly owned pedestrian-, wheelchair-, bicycle-and vehicle-accessible local food marketplace.

Marketplace idea taken to new level

Patna, Feb 1 (IANS) The Bihar government will provide 200 acres at a token Re.1 per acre on a 99-year lease for setting up a Borlaug Institute for agricultural research, an official said Wednesday.

The institute will be located at Pusa in Samastipur district.

The central government had last year announced three Borlaug Institutes to harness the best of international science in meeting food security challenges and make India an agricultural hub for the South Asian region.

The other two centres are coming up at Ludhiana in Punjab and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh.

The institutes will house state-of-the-art research facilities to support research on maize and wheat and broaden the range of varieties and tools available to farmers. They will also strengthen local crop breeding programmes to meet food production challenges.

The Bihar centre will focus on the research priorities of eastern India.

Agriculture Production Commissioner A.K. Sinha and department secretary N. Vijaya Lakshmi had informed the central government about the decision on the land at a meeting in New Delhi recently, the official said.

Norman Borlaug and India's M.S. Swaminathan helmed this country's Green Revolution in the mid-1960s and the 1970s that saw a dramatic increase in wheat production that completely did away with the need for exports.

The Aussie model stripped down to a tiny two-piece in Sydney, displaying a physique seemingly unaffected by nine months carrying her son.

Miranda ? who gave birth to son Flynn in January last year ? stretched out on a speed boat in her white swimwear.

She donned the bikini and assumed her relaxing deck position strictly for professional purposes ? the model was being snapped for an Italian magazine.

The 28-year-old beauty ? married to Orlando Bloom ? has been in fine form recently, promoting the Victoria's Secret 2012 swimwear collection alongside Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge.

Laidback ... Miranda Kerr

And she stripped off for the lingerie firm's fashion show back in November, donning a bra worth a staggering ?1.6million.

The Fantasy Treasure garment sparkled with nearly 3,400 precious gems set in 18-carat white and yellow gold.

Speaking about the bra, Miranda said: "It's such an honour to wear the bra. And it's such a piece of artwork!

"It's absolutely stunning ? it kind of feels a little mermaid-like ? but I can't believe I'm wearing $2.5million on my chest."
