JACMEL, Haiti - The most obvious sign that big changes are afoot inside the camp at Eglise Wesleyenne is the sign itself.

A huge new banner screened with the words "Renaissance Jacmelienne New York Inc." now trumps the homemade cardboard signs listing the aid groups that have helped families living in the camp in this earthquake-devastated country over the past few months.

JACMEL, Haiti - One day recently, Zaka Chery took a video camera down to this city's small port and began to film as Jacmel's best surviving artwork floated away.

The paintings had just been loaded onto a small boat bound for a gallery in Miami, having been rescued from the crumbled mess of a building that used to be a nerve center for Jacmel's renowned arts community.

Ontario dairy farmer Michael Schmidt has been found not guilty of a stream of charges relating to a controversial raw-milk operation he runs.

In a judgment that ran nearly three hours, a Newmarket Justice of the Peace said the cow-sharing operation Schmidt runs out of his farm near Durham, Ont., does not violate the province's milk-marketing or public-health regulations.

Imported beef. Genetically modified potatoes. The disappearance of those handy labels that tell you just how far your green beans traveled before reaching the grocery store shelf.

This is the stuff of Jamie Oliver's nightmares -- and all of it may come true.
