Rockford - Bell School Rd - corn field - sightings of white orbs, a strange man who disappears once you leave the corn field, off of bell school rd close to the new condos just built
Rockford - Blackhawk - it is said that in this house down the road a black man was shot in the basement and now the people that live in that house have seen a black shadow wander around their house during the night.
Rockfard - Bloods Point - Visitors of the old cemetery get chased by a ghost truck which will follow you with no headlights then suddenly flip them on and chase you then disappear. An old bridge where three women were hung is a site for more activity. It is known if you stop your car at the end of the bridge and try to start it again it will not.
Rockford - Cherryvalle Mall - It is said that several stores in this mall are to be haunted. Several mall employees have reported being followed through the mall by unseen forces after mall hours, things moving on their own, hangers swinging around, clothes mysteriously falling off racks, strange voices, bathroom doors being held shut when no one was there, and occasionally a store would be rather messy the next morning when it was cleaned quite well the night before.
Rockford - East High School - It is said that an old theater lover that worked for the school died many years ago. An old employee of the school saw the figure of a woman walking on the auditoriums balcony. He later identified the woman as Addy (or Haddy as the thespians called her) the woman who had died. To this day people have heard footsteps in an empty auditorium, exit lights flashing when the wiring had been check several times, faint singing after school hours were closed, doors slamming shut, things being moved around, and several other strange occurrences
Rockford - Rockford College - Adams' Arch - the only surviving remnant of Rockford Colleges' original campus, is reported to echo with the laughter of young women late at night.
Rockford - Rockford College - Burpee Building - Students and staff members working late in the basement of the Burpee building have reported seeing doors rattle violently or slam shut, hearing footsteps in the hallway, and a male voice in the old radio station rooms. - November 2003 Update: Haunting believed to be caused by a guy who committed suicide. A person reportedly was working late one night and saw a reflection of him in the window. When he turned around and looked at the sound room, there was no one there. Then the papers the guy was working on blew off his desk, and the only paper that was left on the desk was an old archive article about the guy's death.
Rockford - Rockford College - The Clark Arts Center - is said to be haunted by the ghost of the Theatre Arts professor who designed the building. Flickering lights, piano music, and echoing footsteps on catwalks are just some instances of this; in particular, Cheek Theater, Maddox Theater (as well as the hallway outside of it) and the green room (actors' dressing room) seem to be hot spots.
Rockford - Rockford College - McGaw Hall - 5th Floor - where an epileptic girl died in the bathtub over a Thanksgiving break some years ago is reported to have ghost activity. If you have any information, please email us at Haunted Places
Rockford - Rockford College - Maddox Theatre -Down in the dressing rooms, lights sometimes flicker. They once went off in a storm and a face seemed to appear in the mirror. Often, in different parts of the theatre, loud screaming noises can be heard, even though nobody is around. The area around the building always seems to be windy. Also In the prop room in Maddox theatre, there is a bell that supposedly rings on it's own. It was taken years earlier for a girl that was ill in her room and anytime she needed anything, she was to ring the bell. A couple of days later, she died in a car accident. It is said that a man several years later had the bell for the same purpose, and he would wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of the bell ringing.
Rockford - Rockford College - Talcott Hall - room of a student who hung himself in the early nineties.
Rockford - Tibble House - It is said that several years ago a man when crazy and murdered his whole family in this house. Visitors have witnessed shadows of a man, screams, cold drafts, and bad energies. Many people have went to approach the house and stopped short of the property line with overwhelming feelings of sadness and fear.

In my book, Ghosthunting Illinois, I talk about three haunted places in Galena, which is not too far from you. One is the Galena Historical Society Museum, another is Turner Hall, and the third is the DeSoto Hotel. They are all open to the public and I visited each one of them personally.
Also, Wendy Heiken at Annie Wiggins B&B in Galena does a nice ghost tour.
All this info is in my book, Ghosthunting Illinois, along with info on about three dozen other haunted places in Illinois. Happy hunting.

Does anyony know where the Tibble house is at?
It's been torn down. It used to be located out near UPS. I can't remember the exact road names that you could take, but I remember you took Harrison down towards Main. Just a little past Main (near a gas station), you turned left and followed that road down a ways. Tibble house was on a small side road on the right hand side.
I guess the guy who runs Screamfest lives across the street from where it was.
i've been on the look out in my town and nothing so far. i've asked a few of my friends about ghosts around here but the newest i can find is that the pool is haunted. but again, told to me by a person i hate. i've gotta work on not having so many enemies. but one of my friends went to cherryvale mall again and swears to god that she saw a "shadowy thingy" by the sales racks at pacsun.
I believe it. I used to work at Pacsun and that place was freaky sometimes. Before they moved the shoes to the back wall they were on the side and every time someone would walk by to go into the back room, shoes would fall and hit them. That and I was eating lunch in the back room once and they have these shelves that slide back and forth that the shoes are on. I swear I heard them moving. Also, when we were closing the store at night, we would often hear hangers moving around when no one was in the store. If you shop there, you know that they pack those racks tight, so the hangers weren't swinging on their own or anything.

this way or that. We took right and followed out a ways . On the right hand side was the Cemetary. I was always told there was no street sign for BP---well, there is--but its abbr. BL PT. The cemetary is posted with signs of trespassing, etc. There are so many farmhouses, etc---wow. Mindboggling. But we took BP rd a few different times (a little further out each time) and finally after going past Irene rd, and wheeler rd --we came across the bridge!! I was so excited!!!! We drove a little further and came back around, this time we stopped right at the edge of the bridge and i got out and took pics. Driving by we heard some 'bang,bang' like someone hitting a rock or wood, but thats about it. I took quite a few pictures and will have them developed tomorrow. I have heard so many different versions that I really want to see pictures (preferably daytime) so I know exactly where to go. I have always been under the impression that there is a gravel road you turn on (found a couple and did go down) and you will see the old farmhaouse, old schoolhouse, a small bridge, and a house or so. 'Witch' Beula is also supposed to be around. Anyone have any pics or so??? I will post as soon as mine are done. There are a couple ones that just looked interesting to me.
As for the Blackhawk legend---what Blackhawk?? There is Blackhawk Park, Blackhawk Projects, etc.
Does anyone know about the haunting at Washington Elementary school??? PLEASE let me know.!!! Thank You

We have had a small taste of winter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like having four seasons. You can have your Florida or Hawaii weather all year long — that's not for me.
We have had a small taste of winter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I like having four seasons. You can have your Florida or Hawaii weather all year long — that's not for me.
I hope some of the local photographers are getting some winter pictures at the hatchery for our contest. The contest doesn't end until June — we're hoping for a snow picture or two. I don't know that they will win, but it provides the judges with some variety. So get the camera out and get some photos. If you need rules for the contest, you can pick them up at the information desk in the visitors center.
I certainly enjoyed the music this Christmas. On our television satellite stations there were many channels that just broadcast Christmas songs. Those stations were played heavily in our house.
I enjoyed Mahalia Jackson more than anyone else. On each station, you had a choice. You could have "popular," "traditional," "hip hop," "country and western" "rock and roll," and many more. I chose the "classics tunes." That meant I was serenaded by some great music. Mahalia Jackson; of course; the Canadian Brass; the Boston, New York and Philadelphia symphonies; Frank Sinatra; Lena Horne; Bing Crosby; Kay Starr; Peggy Lee; Tony Bennett; Rosemary Clooney; Count Basie; Dean Martin; Al Martino and many more were all singing traditional carols and hymns.
The nicest thing was the music continued until New Year's Day, so when the rush of Christmas was over, you could really listen to the music.
But now's the time to look forward. Everyday life will pick up and we'll be back in the saddle again. Several groups I am involved with take November and December off and pick up again in January.
It's going to be a busy year at the hatchery. Several fishing derbies will be held and several projects are in the works. Right now the Friends are having a small picnic shelter built to replace a shade tree that once protected a picnic table near the raceways. The shelter should protect the table for a long, long time.
At Newtonia, it always a busy place with visitors showing up all year around. On Thanksgiving Day, Russell and I drove to Newtonia for lunch. We had some books to drop off at the mansion house. When we got there, we found a couple from Wisconsin looking at the state markers we have. We visited with them and gave them a quick tour of the house. They really appreciated us giving them some of our Thanksgiving celebration time. They have since ordered a copy of the PBS video of the battle of Newtonia and sent a generous donation.
I always wish we had more time to spend with unexpected visitors, but we do the best we can.
Finally, Happy New Year to everyone. May your year be blessed with more than you could wish for.

CONCORD, N.H. — A temporary increase in food stamps expires Oct. 31, meaning for millions of Americans, the benefits that help put food on the table won't stretch as far as they have for the past four years.
Food stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, go to 47 million Americans a month, almost half of them children and teenagers.
Starting in 2009, the federal stimulus pumped $45.2 billion into SNAP, increasing what would have been a monthly benefit of $588 a month to $668 for an average household of four.
However, in November, that same family will start getting $632 a month, about a 5 percent cut.
The monthly benefits, which go to 1 in 7 Americans, fluctuate based on factors including food prices, income and inflation.

Looks like if you live near a Microsoft Store or even a pop-up holiday kiosk you can stop by and get a reservation card good for one Surface RT come October 26th.
The info comes via our forums where member jdevenberg was given a pass from a Microsoft pop-up Store employee at Washington Square in Beaverton, Oregon. The pass simply reads that a Surface has been reserved and all the shopper has to do is bring the pass at 12pm on October 26th. This sounds like a good deal for those of you who are wanting to go and get one in the Store that very day instead of pre-ordering online.
We're told that a Microsoft employee is basically manning the kiosk, answering questions and handing out the cards of which there only looked to be about 150-200 (though who knows if they have more on hand). We doubt the Stores will set out on the day off but it may behoove you to swing by your local outlet if you have one and grab a card just in case.
The other news we learned of is not so great: evidently the bundles that we see online for preordering are the same for in Store purchases, meaning those of us who want a 64GB device and say a Cyan cover are likely out of luck. We're not sure what madness Microsoft is thinking here with these limited bundles but it looks like you'll have to pay extra for another keyboard or just opt for the 32GB version and forgo some extra internal memory. Weak sauce.

They say that all dancing is a way to express desire. Here comes Ira to prove it.
Starting by showing off the sheer pleasure of being a youthful beauty, the magic of the dance awakens the essential woman in her.
As the beat pulsates inside her, more and more the desire takes her over. Those black boots were made for dancing and they are here to stay - unlike the panties.
And what's she thinking of doing with that bottle of champagne?

Construction continues on the new $7.1 million Fletcher Town Hall, estimated to be complete April 2014 and pegged to be the catalyst for the Heart of Fletcher project.
Construction continues on the new $7.1 million Fletcher Town Hall, estimated to be complete April 2014 and pegged to be the catalyst for the Heart of Fletcher project.
The project aims to create a central core of mixed-use development as a new entryway for the growing town. Officials hope to see a new library building, satellite college and restaurant, housing, retail and office spaces sprout in a 49-acre field of dreams off of U.S. 25 at Old Cane Creek Road and East Fanning Bridge Road, next to the town's busy park.
Planning officials continue to update a master plan for the Heart of Fletcher project to guide future development, as rafters are raised into place for the new town hall.
The facility is "the first building into the Heart of Fletcher site," said Town Manager Mark Biberdorf. "We're hoping this will help be a catalyst for other developments we hope to see in there."
The 25,000-square-foot building will house most of the town's departments with plenty of room for the police department on its ground floor. Council chambers, administrative offices and a conference room will be located on the main floor. Office space for planning, zoning, parks and recreation and a community meeting room will included on the town hall's top floor.
Biberdorf said the town has "no room to grow" in its current municipal building, which they renovated and moved into more than 15 years ago.
"This building has served us well here, but there is just no room for growth," he added.
Hendersonville's Cooper Construction began working on the new building, which will occupy five acres of the 49-acre site, in June 2012. The total construction project, which includes the cost of clearing the land for the Heart of Fletcher hopefuls, is billed at $9.7 million.
About three years ago, Biberdorf said, the council voted to raise the town's property tax rate 5 cents (to 22.5 cents per $100 valuation) — the first increase in six or seven years.
"Four of the 5 cents went directly to the town hall project," he said.
The USDA Rural Development program provided $6.5 million in low-interest community facility loans stretching over a 40-year period, and Suntrust Bank provided $3 million in an installment loan for the Heart of Fletcher. Taxpayers had provided $210,000 toward the project in 2012.
In the end, the town hall project will save the city money in utility payments by consolidating the two locations for town business and police services into one site.
"Council is determined in their support of this project," Biberdorf said. "They've made hard decisions to move forward with it... and we're all hoping this will pay off in the future."
He added that new portions of Old Cane Creek Road are being built to serve the development, which leaders plan to one day connect with the park.
New ENERGI at the park
Parks and Recreation Director Greg Walker estimates that 1,500 to 2,000 people use Fletcher Community Park on a daily basis.
On a 42-by-36-foot concrete pad inside the park, crews worked to install a five-station fitness circuit called ENERGI Total Body Fitness System on Tuesday. Installation of the station, built through a partnership between the town of Fletcher and Park Ridge Health, should be complete by mid-day Wednesday.
ENERGI is designed to offer up to 120 exercises at each of its stations, which will be labeled with a QR barcode that users can scan with their smart phones. The codes will download a one-minute video of a personal trainer explaining how to perform various exercises, from beginner to intermediate to advanced, on the equipment.
The ENERGI system will be available to the public during the park's normal business hours.
"I just think it's going to be a great asset to our community," Walker said. "This will make fitness available to all people, (including those) who may not be able to access private membership organizations."
The town will hold a grand opening for the community to experience ENERGI at 4:30 p.m. May 1 at the park, off of Howard Gap Road, and 03 Health and Fitness in Asheville will hold demonstration classes beginning at 5 p.m.
Classes using the new system will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with 03 Health and Fitness beginning May 14. More information will be posted online at fletcherparks.org.
Reach Weaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828-694-7867.

The Butler County commissioners today adopted two procedural changes to public meetings, limiting the time they can give reports and respond to residents' comments.
Beginning at the May 8 meeting, the commissioners will be restricted to 10-minute reports and 2-minute responses to public comment.
Through Wednesday, there were no time limits for the commissioners to talk.
Commissioner Jim Eckstein opposed both changes, saying they were attempts to prevent him from exposing information to the public.
Commissioner Bill McCarrier, board chairman, disagreed, saying the moves were done to shorten meetings and encourage residents to speak before the board.
McCarrier said people are intimidated from participating in public comment because of Eckstein's treatment of speakers.
Commissioner Dale Pinkerton sided with McCarrier.

Delaware State Police detectives have arrested a Smyrna man in connection with allegedly raping a 16-year-old female.
On Feb. 18 detectives at Troop 3 in Dover began a rape investigation after a 16-year-old girl disclosed to a family member that she had been sexually assaulted by George Curtis, 21, of Smyrna.
The investigation revealed Curtis was at the 16-year-old female victim's house on Jan. 1 and left the residence in a vehicle with the victim, driving to a nearby liquor store where he purchased alcohol, police said. He then drove to his residence located in the 100 block of Fields Drive near Smyrna where he allegedly forced the victim to drink the liquor as well as take an Oxycodone pill before he allegedly sexually assaulted her. Police said Curtis then drove the victim home where he dropped her off, and continued to harass and solicit sex from the victim on a regular basis until she and her mother responded to Troop 3 on Feb. 18 to report the crimes.
On Feb. 27 detectives along with the State Police Special Operations Response Team (SORT) executed a search warrant in the 100 block of Fields Drive where Curtis resides. He was taken into custody without incident and transported back to Troop 3 where he was processed and arraigned on two counts of second degree rape, possession of a controlled substance, sexual solicitation of a child under 18, sexual harassment, and providing alcohol to a minor.
He was committed to James T. Vaughn Correction Center on $45,000 secured bond.
Because of the sensitivity of this case, and in consideration of the victim, only limited information will be released.

After recently seeing the film �Les Miserables,� I was compelled to write about the experience that was unforgettable�� much like when my father took me to see Star Wars as a teen.
�Les Mis� is set in 19th-century France and has all sorts of tear-jerking and triumphant moments.
I enjoyed the film so much and was glad I didn�t let other�s opinions sway my own take on the movie.
A cousin commented on the length, so I went in with the notion to sit back and relax, no matter how tired I grew of sitting.
While some I talked to commented on the singing, I didn�t go expecting to hear accomplished Broadway singers, since I knew most of them weren�t. It was the heart and soul of the musical captured in each singer�s voice that sold me.
There were some amazingly high notes sung that I didn�t know were possible to hit, but Amanda Seyfried, as Fantine�s daughter Cosette, manages to reach them. I already knew she could sing after hearing her in �Mamma Mia.�
Having the actors sing live on camera was the best move filmmakers could have made. It was so much better than having them record their voices in some sound booth where the emotion would never have matched the acting.
I had also heard Russell Crowe was not a good fit for this movie, but I thought he portrayed the inward struggle of Javert well.
Hugh Jackman playing ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, held his own with �Bring Him Home,� one of my favorite songs in the production.
Winning out overall, even above Anne Hathaway�s �I Dreamed a Dream,� was Samantha Barks in her performance as the lonely and doomed �ponine. Her voice showed true emotion that even Hathaway�s sobs couldn�t match.
Did I cry? Of course, but not till one of the characters dies � I won�t spoil it for those who haven�t seen it yet. But, be prepared for the tears with plenty of Kleenex or a hanky handy. Trying to hold it back doesn�t work and soon your face will be wet with tears. I heard others seated around me trying to control their emotions and guys, they weren�t all women.
But there�s something cathartic about seeing and experiencing so much emotion that you become mesmerized in the moment. As I peered over at my daughter seated next to me, she was motionless, as if she hadn�t taken a breath since the movie began.
The final scene is so powerful that I had to stay seated for a few moments before reaching for my coat. Then, as I walked down the aisle, I felt energized and I even broke out into song in the parking lot, much to my daughter�s dismay.
�Mom, don�t ruin it,� she said. It was clear that it would take longer for her to recuperate from the spell-binding effect left on viewers.
So how does �Star Wars� compare with �Les Mis?� Is doesn�t really, as they are two films of different genre and yet both are epic experiences. �Star Wars� won six Oscars and I predict "Les Mis" will score big as well.
But will it be as unforgettable 35 years later? Maybe my daughter will look back on the event as one she won�t forget, like when I went to the theater with my father.
Come to think of it, that might be a given after my theatrical performance in the parking lot!

Journal Staff report
Traffic heading east on Main Street near Harrison Street continues to funnel down to one lane with concrete barricades set up after a water pipe ruptured last week.
The water break that happened on Friday in front of the Super 8 Motel near Harrison and Main streets will have to be repaired before the barricades are removed.
Don Cornett, the lead operator of the repair project for the city, said the city isn't completely certain what caused the water pipe to break.
Cornett said the speculation is the recent cold weather caused frost to form near the water pipes that caused the bolts to the pipe to rust.
He also said the repair project is not a simple one that can be fixed quickly.
On Friday, Cornett said about 12 inches of concrete had to be cut, and the difficulty was to cut the asphalt without causing any further damage to the pipe.
The repair of the pipe has had a large impact on at least one business in close proximity to the break.
Maria Maez, the manager of Cork & Bottle liquor store, said the business has been at a standstill the last few days because the barricades the city put up makes it extremely tough to visit the store.
The water pipe break has forced the complete access closure to Harrison Street off Main as well as convenient access to the store's parking area. She said the store's regular customers are still finding a way to get to the liquor store, but added the only way to get to the market is to come through the alley that is located in the back of the business.
"It has been a pretty quiet weekend for us," she said Monday. "We have no idea when it will be done."

British Columbia is a natural fit for spa life and wellness vacations.
The province's outdoorsy spirit has been cultivated by magnificent wilderness, majestic mountains, lush rainforests and pure waters. Leaders in the trend toward fitness and active living, its residents consistently are ranked among the healthiest in Canada.
And spa life is about lookin' good, too. Vancouver is known as Hollywood North for its many movie shoots and A-list celebrity visitors, and the city boasts several glam places that are ready to buff and beautify. Then, there is B.C.'s laid-back, West Coast vibe. You'll mellow out just experiencing this kind and gentle place; becoming blissed out at a spa is a bonus.
British Columbia is home to more than 400 spas, about half of which are day spas and the rest vacation getaways. They might be destination hotels or wellness and beauty centres in cities, resort towns and even deep in the backwoods, accessible only by air or sea. Visitors can choose from among pampering resorts, outdoor adventures and natural hot springs or made-made, sub-polar
Vancouver has been spruced up for its role as host city for the winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. For many visitors, the opening ceremonies start at recently expanded Vancouver International Airport. Then, for only a few dollars, the sleek Canada Line SkyTrain speeds them downtown to funky, favourite places like Granville Island and Gastown and smart, stylish new hotels like the Loden, the Shangri-La and the Fairmont Pacific Rim.
The Fairmont, a 48-storey tower, is scheduled to open this month. Huge glass walls will let guests see the natural wonders that make Vancouver so inviting - sparkling bays, green and friendly Stanley Park and the snow-capped Coastal Mountains, including Cypress, site of the Games' freestyle skiing and snowboarding events.
For the last word in high-tech extravagance, check into the Fairmont's Bucket-List Chairman's Suite, with its private elevator, huge chandelier shimmering down from a cathedral ceiling and an outdoor patio with space for 60 people. Grab your pals and head to the rooftop and a heated, year-round swimming pool surrounded by meditation pods, hot tubs, fire pits and cabanas.
The Fairmont Pacific Rim's Willow Stream Spa plays on its waterfront location with mineral-rich seaweed wraps and scrubs, rubdowns with marine botanical lotions and soothing baths in sea salts.
A sojourn at Harrison Hot Springs, two hours east of Vancouver, is less fancy, but no less therapeutic. The Salish Indians believe that the sulphur and potash of Harrison Hot Springs have healing powers. When word first got around, a pioneering hotel opened in the 1880s.
Today, the Harrison Hot Springs Resort & Spa has taken over the picturesque location in the agricultural Fraser Valley. Surrounded by mountains and situated on the shore of Harrison Lake, the hotel blends great scenery with great value. With three golf courses nearby, a marina, cycling, fishing charters, farm tours and eagle viewing, there's much to do. Harrison is a traditional resort with dining and dancing, and 337 rooms, suites and cottages. It's all built around five natural hot pools, which bubble and gurgle at a blistering 60C.
"The natural springs are so hot we actually have to cool the pools to 30 to 25C," said Ian Maw, Harrison's director of sales and marketing.
Vancouver Island is home to an inspiring variety of spas, many offering guests an intense connection with nature. The Pacific coast town of Tofino is known for surfing in summer and storm-watching in winter.
At the Ancient Cedars Spa of the posh Wickaninnish Inn, a Relais & Châteaux property on the island's west coast, you can have your massage in a private hut beside the pounding surf.
Near Tofino, the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort, where Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds were married, is equally luxurious, but more outdoorsy. It ramps up the ruggedness factor with salmon-fishing, hiking, kayaking and sightings of black bears and eagles.
Accessible only by seaplane or boat, Clayoquot is an eco-resort that operates May to September adjacent to the Clayoquot Sound Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO preservation area. It's a fine example of "glamping"- a glamorous campsite where guests stay in 10 safari-style canvas tents decked out with antique furnishings, modern washrooms and propane stoves. Special experiences include holistic treatments at the Healing Grounds Spa and a First-Nations-style salmon feast.
Spa life is tamer on Vancouver Island's east coast. At the Brentwood Bay Lodge & Spa, in the wine country on the outskirts of Victoria, pedicures are potent. Brentwood specializes in vino-therapy, a developed-in-France technique that uses grape seeds and grape skins in body-care potions. You'll be getting the benefits of the grapes' antioxidants in more ways than one.
While the rough skin of your feet is sloughed off by stomping grapes, you'll also smooth out with a glass of Hester Creek Merlot from the Okanagan Valley. Finish with a massage and a glass of pinot noir from Starling Lane Winery. You'll be feeling no pain. It's vino-therapy, after all.
Brentwood blends a modern design of glass and open spaces with a woodsy, West Coast look of Douglas fir beams and handcrafted furniture. Its 33 guest rooms have sunset and bay views and a close-to-nature feel. Contemporary cuisine in the SeaGrille dining room is locally sourced.
Brentwood's Marina & Eco-Adventure Centre rents kayaks and organizes water-wilderness excursions.
The Sparkling Hill Resort and Wellness Hotel in B.C.'s Okanagan Valley will bring a new treatment to North America when it opens in March. Its marquee attraction will feature a cryo-therapy cold sauna in which the temperature dips to -110C, colder than even Antarctica, where the lowest recorded temperature is -89C.
Doctors and athletic coaches in Europe have been using the sub- polar environment of cryo-therapy to boost energy and circulation, heighten physical performance, and reduce inflammation and pain in stressed bones and joints, especially in arthritis patients. Cry-sauna patients cover their extremities and survive the extreme cold because it is dry and because they are always moving, not lying down.
Sparkling Hill will play on its glacial orientation in its decor, too, using Swarovski Crystal elements throughout its design, in walls, waterfalls and fireplaces to reflect light and movement. The spa will offer nearly 100 traditional treatments like mud wraps, massages and reflexology as well as individualized programs targeting nutrition, personal training and physiotherapy. Guests also can go hiking, cycling or downhill skiing at Big White or Silver Star.

Attorney General Scott Pruitt has issued a warning for Oklahoma consumers and realtors to beware of a fraudulent realtor complaint website.
The website, Realtor-complaints.com, has used the REALTOR registered trademark to promote the website and its reviews.
The National Association of Realtors is investigating the website for fraudulent information that includes a string of falsified reviews. Every rating for the contractor, roofer or realtor is listed as a bad review. In order to remove the complaints, the site asks the professional to pay up to $100 to an account in the Bahamas.
"Oklahoma consumers need to be wary of information provided on a website unless they are familiar with the company," General Pruitt said. "We urge any professionals who have been a victim of this scam to contact our Public Protection Unit."
The National Association of Realtors provides the following tips to avoid "reputation defamation:"
• Make sure all of your profiles (on social media sites, at REALTOR.com, and so on) are complete, up to date, and consistent;
• Be proactive in asking customers for reviews in legitimate forums;
• Search via search engines for your name and your company's name;
• Sign up for alerts so that you're notified when your name appears in a search. Also set up alerts for variations of your name, your company name and other keywords;
• Ask your customers where they've gone to search for information about real estate and other professionals;
• Correct errors quickly. Contact the website and don't be tempted to pay to have information removed.
To report suspected fraud or scams, contact the AG's Public Protection Unit at (405) 521-2029, (918) 581-2885 or email@example.com as well as local law enforcement. For more information about this scam, go online to www.realtor.org.

Victim didn't know vehicle had been stolen until it drove past him
A husband and wife were arrested on auto theft charges last week, a few minutes after the victim discovered his vehicle was stolen.
The victim didn't know his vehicle had been stolen until he saw it being driven past him on the 200 block of Harrison Street Wednesday morning.
He called Kern County Sheriff's deputies and started following the vehicle himself, Senior Deputy Kevin George said.
The victim followed the suspects to the Courtyard Terrace apartments and ran into an apartment unit.
Deputies, accompanied by Taft Police, quickly found the suspects, identified as Abigail Pauline Gutierrez, 38, and Manuel Gutierrez, 40.
Both suspects were arrested for auto theft and both are being held on no-bail holds for violating post-custody release, George said.

Expert Advice
Always consider your strength, hitting style and league requirements when selecting your DeMarini® baseball bat. Larger players tend to benefit from heavier bats-they can take advantage of the added swinging power. Smaller and younger players need a lighter bat for increased swing speed. Think about the following factors when making your selection:
- The bat drop is also known as the bat's length to weight ratio. This figure is denoted with the bat's "minus" number-for example, -3 or -5. The drop describes the amount of ounces the bat weighs less than its length in inches. Wood baseball bats and softball bats are not identified as with a drop.
- The bat's barrel size is simply the diameter of the bat. Generally, the longer your bat, the larger your sweet spot-the area on the bat that makes substantial contact. Many players prefer a bat with a smaller diameter. This lightens the weight to increase your swing speed.
- The grip is the handle's cover. Most covers are made of a texturized material to improve grip. Rubber grips absorb more shock, while leather or synthetic leather grips deliver a "strengthened" feel for a confident grip. Some bats are available with specialized grips to minimize vibration.
DeMarini® baseball bats are constructed in a variety of materials:
- Maple and wood DeMarini® baseball bats provide a classic baseball look, feel and sound at the plate. Some leagues require wood bats, which deliver a more customized swing and aid in correct batting form.
- Composite DeMarini® bats are an industry leader and provide optimal balance and sweet spot.
- Composite-Alloy DeMarini® bats are constructed with create thinner bat walls for improved "pop" off the bat. A larger sweet spot and balanced feel promote consistent batting performance.

La première dérive
first drift
Purpose & expectations
The ways in which we doodle and what it means to doodle involves a stream of consciousness that seems almost unconscious, inherent within us. I have observed that the doodles I make begin arbitrarily but become carefully constructed and architectural. The act of making these drawings is meditative and stimulating at the same time. I make the drawings based on the "chance" occurrences from one line and its interaction with the next. I'm interested in translating this experience into an act that involves physically moving through a space based on this same sort of event of chance and diversion. The event will translate into something beyond moving a pencil across the space of the page. The urban landscape where the event will take place will yield discoveries, observations, and diversions (interesting or banal), similar to the act of making a doodle. The event will be documented with the aid of popular technology to explore perception through a digital filter as it occurs so often in everyday life. I'm interested in examining how the presence of a digital camcorder (documentation), and iPhone (GPS and social networking) shape the experience. My aim is not to remove technology in order to have what is often thought of as a more "pure" experience, but to embrace these devices because I believe in using them as invaluable tools for sharing experiences and inspiration. On a journey with expectations only to discover, I aim to share my experience with others and hope that the event will inspire and offer a different perspective on an otherwise commonplace event.
My first dérive experience took place on Tuesday, February 24. I couldn't have asked for a nicer afternoon to spend 2.5 hours "drifting" around downtown Minneapolis. The sun was shining and it was a balmy 35º. My friend Brian Lee captured video footage of the experience and participated in the dérive as well. Another friend, Justin, graciously lent me his iPhone for the afternoon, on which I installed an application called MotionX GPS. I drew a section of a doodle I had previously drawn (see images below) on a transparency and placed it on top of a map of downtown Minneapolis. Each vertex of the drawing was labeled with a number, 26 points in total. I used that physical map to plot the points in Google Maps, with the aid of the Position Finder add-on, which gives coordinates for wherever you click on the map. I wrote down the coordinates for each point on the drawing, then entered them in as waypoints in MotionX GPS on the iPhone. The idea was that I would be able to navigate from waypoint to waypoint with the iPhone, essentially "following" the lines of my drawing, and the path I created in Google maps. However, the MotionX GPS application proved to be difficult to follow, as it would give an inaccurate signal if I stopped moving for more than a minute or two. I also kept a Twitter feed using the Twitterific application on the iPhone of my observations and included photos taken with the phone and a Google Maps image of where the photo was taken. So in order to take the photos, I had to stop moving, which gave me an inaccurate reading in the MotionX GPS navigation. After much confusion trying to follow the compass in the GPS application, Brian and I resorted to attempting to follow the paper map and drawing, and based on our own sense of the cardinal directions (which wasn't very good). I fully anticipated confusion and diversions due to the technology on our dérive. The object was to observe and embrace the diversions, which we had no trouble doing. There were many things along the way that were worth exploring and navigating away from our constructed route.

The players of the Montezuma-Cortez High School drama department are finding out the hard way what directing is all about.
For the third installment of the M-CHS theater year, the One Act Festival will be held Friday and Saturday, March 1 and 2 at 7 p.m., with a matinee on Saturday at 1 p.m.
These plays are adaptations or original scripts, produced, written and directed by theater students. Helpful advice is all they get from the department's director, Nicholaus Sandner who says he steps back completely and lets the students handle everything.
The directors are all veteran actors, technicians and theater junkies. Rachel Faught, Caden O'Brien and Joshua Martin are in their last year with the department. As seniors, these three couldn't be any more different. As directors they are one in the same. All are finding out what leadership is all about.
"This is completely in our hands," Faught said with delight. "It is different ways of direction and different ideas. Rather than seeing general direction from your teacher who has done this before, we get to use our own ideas. It's the students' personalities coming together."
Faught, 18, is possibly choosing a career in teaching. Maybe even in teaching theater. Right now, her adaptation of the classic tale of "Alice in Wonderland" has been the only thing on her mind. In order for a student to be able to direct a show, they must have previously assisted in directing and they have to present their scripts and stage ideas to Sandner and a panel of drama students. Faught had prepared her adaptation only a week before presenting.
"The beginning was pretty hectic because I had to take the ideas from not only 'Alice in Wonderland' but also 'Through the Looking Glass' and minimize that into 30 or 40 minutes," she explained. "Then I had to make my costumes and sets seem non-extravagant, which there isn't much of in 'Alice in Wonderland.'"
Once Faught got past the interview process, she was ready to bring her work to life - in four weeks time.
Sandner said the students have to take care of their scripts, casting, costumes and other technical aspects all on their own time. The four weeks of rehearsal is not realistic for grand ideas, so students had to get creative.
Caden O'Brien prepared an original script, with the help of Dallas Sellers, and left his sets as simple as possible. All of his props are people, which may have been an easy solution but it turned out to be a bigger problem. "My cast members and technicians like to not show up," O'Brien said with a chuckle. "Some of my scenes have no one here to run through. My cast has their lines down, they're just missing."
Sandner said a lot of students had been out sick over the last few weeks making it more challenging for the directors. He's a little nervous about this weekend but has confidence in his seniors. O'Brien though, is feeling the stress. The first night of tech week rehearsals - meaning lights, props and stage direction - and his lead was home sick. But he is a good sport throughout the chaos.
"I guess if he can't do the show, I'll have to," he said. "Hopefully that won't happen."
O'Brien, an aspiring musician, plans on heading to Denver once he graduates to try his luck in a band. As a drummer and vocalist, O'Brien wants to hold off on college for awhile.
His one act play is loosely based on the State Farm commercials. Titled, "A Day in the Life of a State Farm Agent," the comedic and sometimes dramatic play follows an insurance agent, Jake, around as he bounces back and forth between family and insurance calls. With no balance between the two, Jake finds himself in a thick web of confusion between his family and his career, with no easy solution in sight.
Sandner said one of the hardest feats of the One Act Festival is having plays that are completely unrelated. This year there will be a children's book, a comedy and a dramatic horror. At the same time it is rewarding because his students surprise him with how creative and thoughtful they get.
"We get a full range of shows and it can be hard to market," Sandner said. "But it's a great way for them to pull shows together from scratch and it's fun to see the different ways they represent their ideas."
The third one act, written by Joshua Martin, combines the secrets of immortality and the grisly effects of playing with death. Martin is not all guts and gore. He plans on studying biochemistry at the University of Colorado in Boulder after he graduates this year. He won't be participating in theater during college but he can say he will apply the experience elsewhere.
"I've learned a lot about leadership in this role (director)," Martin said. "I've gained a lot of confidence. (Theater) is always good for motivation, to have somewhere to go even on your worse days. Some place to bring you back up."
Martin said in his retirement days he hopes to get back into community theater to play the three big Shakespeare leads.
"I've already got one out of the way," he said with a grin.
For now he is concentrating on keeping his cast in check and making sure his one act play runs smoothly. All three of the directors are sharing actors and technicians. O'Brien is acting in the other two plays and Faught has a small role in his play. The department is working hard to get by with what they have and the young directors are learning more and more about what they can accomplish. "We have to be in charge of people our own age so sometimes they don't have that sense of seniority about you," Martin said. "We may have to act a certain way to hinder their actions and it can be hard."
Still, Martin, Faught and O'Brien fit right in as leaders. They envision what they want and they go for it. They each credit the theater department in giving them the determination and audacity to get through their high school days.
