The Global Miller Historic Hayden Flour Mill re-opening as outdoor special-event venue TEMPE, Ariz. -- After standing abandoned for years, the historic Hayden Flour Mill is hours away from a grand re-opening that will launch its new life as a special-event venue. Friday's event is the culmination of about a year of restoration and clean-up work. Charles Trumbull Hayden opened the mill at the base of "A" mountain (Tempe Butte) in 1874, making it one of Tempe's first businesses. "The flour mill was the reason for the Tempe boom," explained historian Andrea Gregory. "Before the flour mill came in, it was a small farming community -- citrus, wheat and barley." The mill shut down in 1998. Those fences are gone now, and the grounds have been converted to accommodate special events. "This is a focal point for our community," Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell said Thursday morning. The Hayden Flour Mill's grand opening happens on Friday, Oct. 5, 5 p.m.- 10 p.m., at 119 S. In addition to serving as an outdoor space for special events, the Green will be open daily, 7 a.m.-9 p.m.

Buy Sustainable Tuna | Ethical Living Thousands of miles apart, two Greenpeace ships propelled Greenpeace’s global oceans campaign forward this week. Yesterday, in Taiwan – home to the world’s largest tuna fishing fleet – Greenpeace activists took action at the largest shipbuilding yard there. The activists unfurled a large banner saying “Overfishing Starts Here” at a facility where massive industrial fishing boats destined to fish across the globe’s oceans are built. Destructive overfishing has already put the future of our oceans – and the billions of people dependent on them for food and jobs – at risk. The bottom line is simple: future generations need fewer huge fishing boats and more fish. Meanwhile, the Rainbow Warrior arrived in Mauritius today. Having completed patrols of the southwestern Indian Ocean, the Greenpeace flagship arrived in Port Louis, where it will host public events over the next few days. Steve Smith
