Tamarack Resort Rises to National Prominence — New Aspen Townhomes Announced

Posted on August 7, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

TAMARACK, Idaho, Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The most recent addition to Travel + Leisure’s prestigious list of the World’s Best Resorts isn’t in Europe or on a faraway coastline, it’s just 90 miles outside of Boise. Tamarack Resort, America’s only ski, golf, and lake resort, has quickly stepped onto the national stage, offering a rare four‑season experience that few destinations can match.

Tamarack recently achieved a major milestone by being named “Top Resort in the United States” as part of Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards. This recognition adds to a growing list of accolades, including The Wall Street Journal’s Top 100 Ski Resorts, Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 30 Ski Resorts in America, and USA Today’s Best Ski Resort Restaurant for The Reserve.

“This kind of momentum doesn’t happen by accident,” said Scott Turlington, President of Tamarack Resort. “It is the result of sustained investment, an extraordinary team, and an intentional effort to build something timeless. Recognition brings attention, and attention brings demand.”

And Tamarack isn’t slowing down. The resort is investing in new ski lifts and expanded snowmaking, has celebrated its re‑opening of the nationally acclaimed Osprey Meadows Championship Golf Course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr, and is building a new 100‑slip marina on Lake Cascade.

Fueled by this momentum, real estate demand continues to rise. Only a few ski‑in/ski‑out condominiums remain, and homesites along the Osprey Meadows Championship Golf Course, are nearly sold out.

To meet the continued demand, Tamarack is announcing its newest signature neighborhood, The Aspen Townhomes. This gated community offers convenient access to the marina on Lake Cascade, Osprey Meadows Golf Course, the mountain ski lifts, and the Village for restaurants and shops. Maintenance-free living, a private swimming pool, and eligibility for membership at The Club at Tamarack will enhance the lifestyle. The first phase of the Aspen Townhomes is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2026, with homes released through a reservation‑based priority program. Full details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Tetra Pak Shares 26th Sustainability Report, Showcases Emission Reductions and Emphasizes Commitment to a Better Future

Posted on August 7, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

DENTON, Texas, August 7, 2025 /3BL/ – Today, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada launches its local supplement to complement Tetra Pak’s 26th Sustainability Report, which tracks the progress the company has made against its global sustainability agenda. It focuses on five interdependent areas: food systems, circularity, climate, nature and social sustainability.

The company’s global full-year 2024 Sustainability Report highlights a 25% reduction² of greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain since 2019, marking a further five- percentage-point improvement since 2023. Within its own operations, the company has achieved a 54% reduction³ in GHG emissions since 2019 and reports 94% renewable energy consumption in its own operations, keeping the company on track to achieve net-zero GHG emissions in its own operations by 2030.⁴ Moreover, these environmental achievements go hand in hand with the company’s continuous efforts to improve livelihoods and strengthen economies through the delivery of safe food everywhere.

“Our resolute commitment to sustainability remains our North Star,” said Seth Teply, president and CEO, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “It’s in that commitment where our true purpose lies. We commit to making food safe and available, everywhere, and we promise to protect what’s good for food, people and the planet.”

Accompanying the organization’s global report, originally released on June 5, is a supplement highlighting achievements in the U.S. and Canada during the same time period.

A sampling of achievements featured in the supplement include:

An expansion at Tetra Pak’s Denton, Texas, converting factory increased its production capacity to 9.6 billion packs annually. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to grow its facilities to meet demand for high-quality packaging.
A continued expansion of end markets for carton recycling. Together with Carton Council, Tetra Pak announced UPFACTORY California, a new recycling facility that is expected to recycle 1.5 million pounds of carton material every month, turning it into sustainable building materials.
The launch of Tetra Pak^®Direct UHT in the U.S. and Canada to maximize process efficiency and flexibility while reducing energy and water usage. Compared with the Tetra Therm^®Aseptic VTIS, it can save about 6% of the fresh water needed during production.
The continued contribution to the vibrancy of Tetra Pak’s community through local events, its Core Wellbeing employee wellness program and ElevateHER, Tetra Pak’s employee resource group to support and connect women in the workplace.

The upcoming exhibitions — EXPOCOMER, EXPO LOGÍSTICA PANAMÁ, EXPO TURISMO INTERNACIONAL, EXPO TECH, and EXPO ELÉCTRICA INTERNACIONAL – PANAMÁ — are designed to strengthen business connections, promote international partnerships, and create new market opportunities, leveraging Panama’s strategic geographic position and world-class infrastructure.

Most importantly, we have a private sector fully committed to turning vision into action,” he stated.

Aurelio Barría Pino, President of the 2026 Exhibitions and Events Organizing Committee, highlighted the economic impact of the 2025 editions. “Last year, we welcomed over 31,000 visitors, generated 20,000 business appointments, and facilitated more than US$156 million in commercial transactions. This resulted in an economic impact of US$45 million for the country. These figures clearly show how our expos are not only business catalysts but also strengthen Panama’s position as a strategic regional platform,” Barría Pino noted.

In addition, CCIAP confirmed that Panama will host the prestigious World of Coffee event from October 23–25, 2026 — marking the first time it will be held in a coffee-producing country in Latin America. This milestone reinforces the country’s growing reputation as an ideal destination for high-impact global events.

A Soul-Stirring Night of Country, Community, and Celebration in the Heart of Grand Rapids with headliner Tiera Kennedy

Posted on August 7, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ArtPrize Halftime, presented by Rockford, is a mid-festival celebration that brings together music lovers, artists, and the broader Grand Rapids community for one unforgettable night. This free outdoor concert at Sixth Street Park is a chance to gather and recharge during the heart of the ArtPrize season.

“ArtPrize Halftime is all about celebrating the creative spirit that brings our community together,” said Theresa Anderson, ArtPrize Operations Director. “This event is a moment to pause in the middle of the ArtPrize experience and come together—neighbors, visitors, and artists alike—for a shared celebration of art, music, and connection in the heart of our city.”

That spirit of connection will come to life on Friday, September 26, as ArtPrize 2025 proudly presents Tiera Kennedy as the headlining performer.

Tiera Kennedy is more than a rising star—she’s a force. An artist, visionary, and movement-builder, Tiera’s music radiates authenticity, joy, and purpose. The Alabama native’s fusion of R&B and country, paired with her celestial voice and deeply personal songwriting, has established her as one of the most compelling voices in country music today.

Her breakout moments already include a feature on Beyoncé’s Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter, an appearance in a Dolly Parton video, and mentorship from Shania Twain, who encouraged her to remain boldly herself. With her debut album ROOTED, Tiera introduced a boundary-breaking sound grounded in her Southern roots and fueled by a mission of inclusivity and liberation through music.

Opening the night are two electrifying Michigan-based acts:

Jake Kershaw, a blues-influenced guitar prodigy who has played alongside Jonny Lang, Walter Trout, and Marcus King, and opened for Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Samantha Fish. His soulful sound and deep local roots make him a standout performer.

The Bootstrap Boys, beloved for their gritty, high-energy country storytelling and Midwestern charm. With songs about roads traveled and hearts broken, they’ve built a loyal following across the region.

Helping Beverage Companies Navigate the EUDR: Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) Releases Sector-Specific Interpretation Guide

Posted on August 7, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

August 7, 2025 /3BL/ – The Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) has released the Beverage Industry EUDR Interpretation Guide, a practical, sector-specific resource designed to help beverage companies understand and meet the requirements of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) (EU 2023/1115).

Effective June 29, 2023, the EUDR introduced strict due diligence requirements for companies placing cattle, coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, rubber, or wood – or products derived from them – on the EU market or exporting them from it.

For the beverage industry, this regulation is highly relevant as it covers both raw ingredients (like coffee, cocoa, and palm derivatives) and select wood-based packaging (such as barrels and branded wooden crates). Full compliance for large and medium-sized operators begins December 30, 2025, with Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) following by June 30, 2026.

The guide is designed for beverage manufacturers, brand owners, and procurement and sustainability teams who need clear, actionable direction on how to implement EUDR compliance across their supply chains. It provides:

Sector-specific guidance on identifying which ingredients and materials fall within the scope of the EUDR
Step-by-step instructions for mapping supply chains, assessing and mitigating risk, and maintaining traceability
Support for compliance workflows, including preparing and submitting Due Diligence Statements (DDS) via the TRAde Control and Expert System (TRACES), i.e., the EU’s official digital platform for EUDR implementation
Integration strategies to align EUDR obligations with broader sustainability initiatives like no-deforestation commitments and SBTi FLAG goals

By providing a beverage-focused lens on a complex regulation, the guide empowers companies to reduce compliance risk, maintain market access, and build robust, future-proof sustainability practices.

“The EUDR presents both a challenge and an opportunity for the beverage sector. Our members needed clear, actionable guidance on how to navigate this complex regulation, and that’s exactly what this guide delivers, helping companies meet their obligations while advancing environmental stewardship.” ~ Erica Pann, Executive Director of BIER.

The Beverage Industry EUDR Interpretation Guide reinforces BIER’s mission to accelerate environmental progress in the beverage sector by turning complex sustainability challenges into actionable solutions.

The Beverage Industry EUDR Interpretation Guide is available for download at https://www.bieroundtable.com/publication/beverage-industry-eudr-interpretation-guide/
