When does life really begin? When we're 25, 30, 40, 50? The correct answer is "whenever we're ready to begin it."
When does life really begin? When we're 25, 30, 40, 50? The correct answer is "whenever we're ready to begin it." The old notions of being more physically active at 25 than at 50 don't hold water anymore. The obesity epidemic with teenagers and young adults and the contrasting emergence of older men and women winning marathons, and forming athletic leagues show the changes in priorities with generations.
I see this every day with clients that range in age from 20 to 65. Sometimes it's high blood pressure, weight gain, or aches and pains from injuries that causes us to make a lifestyle change. Whatever the reason, when we make that change it can really feel like a new life. Those first steps don't have to be grandiose either. You can start walking a half hour three days a week. Then add bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges, and pushups; then add resistance training with some free weights. The entire thing can be an evolving journey, because like life, it is.
I saw a story not long ago about a woman in her 70's who decided to compete in a bodybuilding competition. It had been a dream of hers for some time, and she found a mentor and coach who believed in her and her dream as much as she did. She competed successfully and went on to compete on the international stage, and afterward she became a life coach for other women of all ages. I was so moved by her story, I shared it with a few of my clients, both older and younger, who were tip toeing that line of making a lifestyle change. Each time without fail, I could see that moment in their eyes when the tiptoeing was over, and the decision to just jump in with both feet was made.
I felt the same connection with a client in his 20's who struggled with weight and health issues, and decided he was going to take control of his life and not let life take control of him. His family has a long history of health issues, including obesity and heart disease. When he told me he was going to change his life, he said it with such conviction, I could see the amount of time, thought, and prayer that went into it all in his eyes. I carved out a plan for him, and taught him the importance of taking everything I taught him as a gift that I could never take back. It was truly a learning experience for him; from learning the importance of eating for performance and not hunger, to exercising properly to lose body fat and build lean muscle. True to his word, he stuck to it, lost a significant amount of weight and body fat, and became a living example and inspiration to both his family and friends.
The reasons for making lifestyle changes are always consistent: vanity, longevity, love, family, and health. Whatever your reason maybe, the bottom line is that in many ways when we make that decision and take that leap, at that moment our old life ends and our new one begins.

Hours after hitting a walk-off home run to cap an incredible comeback by the Phillies, Jayson Werth hired Scott Boras as his new agent, a source confirmed.
CSNPhilly.com was the first to report the move late Sunday night. Boras has not returned messages for comment. Werth has yet to file paperwork with the Players' Association to make the move official.
Of course, Boras' name needs little explanation. The superagent has negotiated some of the wealthiest deals in baseball history. In Philadelphia, he will forever be known for the J.D. Drew saga.
This time, Boras might actually be helping the Phillies. We'll explain later.
Werth began shopping for a new agent earlier in the season when he fired Jeff Borris of Beverly Hills Sports Council. The 31-year-old outfielder figures to be a top commodity on the free-agent market along with Tampa Bay outfielder Carl Crawford.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has never ruled out re-signing Werth but the two sides have had few negotiations, especially with Werth changing representation.
"Doesn't mean anything to me," Amaro said last week about Werth's agent shopping. "That's his issue. I don't have any problems with agents."
But the hiring of Boras will have a great effect on how the Phillies approach the Werth situation -- and this goes beyond whether they can sign him or not.
Because really, the Phillies face a near impossibility in signing Werth. The 2011 payroll already is approaching $150 million and that is with money committed to just 16 players.
Werth is likely due a massive deal on the market. He is posting career-high numbers in batting average and OPS. He leads the Phillies in slugging percentage.
"It will play itself out in the off-season," Amaro said last week.
So back to how Boras can help: With him in the fold, the Phillies are even more likely to offer Werth arbitration. Even before Boras entered the picture, this was a move the Phillies were likely to make. Now, it's a no-brainer.
Why does this matter? Werth will be a Type A free agent. If the Phillies offer arbitration and another team signs Werth, the Phillies will receive two compensatory draft picks, including a first-rounder from the team that signs Werth.
But there is occasional risk in offering arbitration. If Boras and Werth decide there isn't a team willing to offer the multi-year deal they will seek, they could accept the Phillies' offer for arbitration on a one-year deal. Boras could make that a very lucrative one-year deal through arbitration. Then, the Phillies would either have to make the expanded payroll work -- or more likely trade Werth away.
That's a hard scenario to envision. There appears to be a substantial market for Werth.
Generally, Boras clients have rejected arbitration offers with the hopes of landing a multi-year deal on the market. And generally, that has worked out.
The Phillies have had limited dealings with Boras since the Drew incident in 1997.
One case shows Boras' willingness to avoid accepting arbitration. Following the 2003 season, Kevin Millwood was a free agent and Boras initially rejected a three-year, $30 million deal from the Phillies, saying there were longer and more lucrative deals for Millwood on the market. Eventually, Millwood accepted arbitration and signed a one-year deal for $11 million.
Other than Werth, Ryan Madson is the lone player currently on the Phillies roster represented by Boras. He negotiated a three-year, $12 million deal for Madson before the 2009 season began.
The team tried to re-sign a Boras client, Kyle Lohse, following the 2007 season. The Phillies offered as three-year deal around $21 million. Boras rejected it. Lohse ended up signing with St. Louis for a one-year deal worth $4.25 million.
They battled with Boras in arbitration over Travis Lee's salary in the 2001 off-season. Boras lost that case. He was seeking $1.6 million. Lee was awarded $800,000.

Vikings up to No. 15 in NJCAA men's poll
With their non-conference schedule behind them the 11-1 Glen Oaks Community College men's basketball team will take aim at conference foes.
Coach Steve Proefrock has his Vikings ranked and ready to compete in the the Michigan Community College Athletic Association conference season.
Glen Oaks is also ranked 15th nationally and are ranked third in team defense.
The success of the Glen Oaks basketball team is nothing new, the Vikings have won conference championships in two of the past five seasons and have averaged over 20 wins in the last 13 years.
"This year could be one of my best teams," Proefrock said.
The Vikings are made up of seven sophomores and eight freshmen.
The sophomores are led by Charles Hearn (6-2). Proefrock said he is an outstanding shooter and scorer, who does everything well.
"Charles is a great talent, he has a great work ethic and ability," Proefrock said.
Tyler Bell (6-2) is a solid defender.
"Tyler is a slasher, who can defend," Proefrock said. "He has a good mid-range game as well as a 3-point shot."
Brillon Pritchett (6-1) and Will Powell (6-0) are a pair of point guards.
"Brillon is a great passer who can score,"Proefrock said. "Will is very athletic, with a great vertical. He's a shooter and scorer."
At forward is Antonio Wilson (6-8).
"He's a great scorer and shot blocker," Proefrock said. "He can really rebound."
Chris Jones (6-1) is a shooting guard.
"He drives well and is a good 3-point shooter," Proefrock said.
Giving the Vikings a big presence in the middle is 6-7 Alex Harris.
"Alex is big and physical," Proefrock said. "He's a very good post player, he blocks shots and rebounds well."
The freshmen class is led by Sturgis grad Dan Scheske (5-8).
"Dan can really shoot and drive," Proefrock said. "He is a very heady player."
At point guard is Antonio Hearn (5-10).
"He averaged 22 points a game in high school. He is ultra quick," Proefrock said. "He has great scoring and passing ability."
Rounding out the freshmen are Nigel Mims (6-4), Lee Gardner III (6-3), Josh Wynn (6-5), James sanders (6-3), Alec Antic (6-4) and Terrence Carver (6-1).
"Nigel can really shoot, he's a very good defender," Proefrock said. "Lee is a rugged, smart and tough player with a nose for the ball.
"Josh had good fundamentals and James is very explosive and jumps out of the gym," Proefrock added. "Alec is a good rebounder and Terrence is a good athlete who defends well."
Glen Oaks opens conference play Saturday at Lansing Community College. Then on Monday they are home against Lake Michigan.

Generations of Greensboro residents remember Dr. Chester Singleton as the doctor who did more than just treat patients. He took time to get to know the people he treated in the community that he loved.
Singleton, 84, died Monday in the wing of Hale County Hospital that bears his name.
Generations of Greensboro residents remember Dr. Chester Singleton as the doctor who did more than just treat patients. He took time to get to know the people he treated in the community that he loved.
Singleton, 84, died Monday in the wing of Hale County Hospital that bears his name.
He retired in 2000 after opening the first racially integrated practice in Greensboro, which he ran for more than 40 years. The doctor made house calls throughout his career, and preferred the pace of a small-town life and career to that of a larger city.
"He not only made house calls, but would often be called on for other duties when he got there," said Peggy Singleton, his wife of 33 years. "Once, there was a lady who couldn't get a plumber to come out, so he fixed her sink after he treated her."
Singleton was born in the Cherokee County town of Centre, where he grew up picking cotton and driving a tractor on his family's farm. He knew he didn't want to pick cotton for the rest of his life, his wife said, so he pursued a career in medicine.
Singleton was well-loved by his patients and delivered babies who were named after him, Peggy Singleton said, including Chester Braggs, who played football at the University of Alabama in the 1980s.
"I've seen him do everything from deliver a baby to pilot an airplane," said his daughter Abby Wadsworth.
Wadsworth said that she often accompanied her father when he made house calls.
"That was one of the ways I spent time with him," she said. "It was enough to prove to me that I didn't want to be a doctor, after seeing how hard he worked."
It was rare for the family to get through a dinner without a phone call, which he always gladly answered, she said. On weekends, the family went to a camp house on the Black Warrior River, where Singleton taught the kids to water ski. He could ski with people on his shoulders, or with the rope behind his neck and no hands. He was a "rabid" UA football fan, Wadsworth said, and took her to games in Tuscaloosa from the time she was 4.
Although he ran his own practice, Singleton would volunteer to work on call at the Hale County Hospital, and treat people who weren't his patients, without payment.
"He saw that as part of his duty of practicing medicine," Wadsworth said.
Debra Gentry, a nurse for Hale County Home Health who worked for Singleton for 21 years, said that Singleton truly cared about his patients and the people who worked for him.
"It was a privilege to have worked with him for 21 years," she said. "He was a boss, a friend and a father figure, too. He was the kind of person who never left you without telling a joke."
She, too, mentioned his intense love of Alabama football, and the friendly bets he made with Auburn friends before Iron Bowls. Gentry, an Auburn fan, said she dreaded the ribbing she faced on Monday mornings after an Alabama Iron Bowl victory. Singleton was able to put people at ease, she said, because he knew when to joke and when to be serious.
"Everyone loved him," she said. "If he was walking out of the office and someone came up, he'd go back, open the door and say, 'Come on in.' He remembered everyone who had crossed his path and had so many friends. He lived a wonderful life."
Singleton's wife said that his love of learning continued into his last years. He took violin lessons in his late 70s, his wife said, "until he realized he wasn't cut out for it."
"He never mastered the computer either, but he took classes at the Hale County Library during his last year," she said.
Singleton took other senior adult classes at Shelton State Community College, she said, including public speaking and drawing.
"One of the highlights of his life was participating in the Tuscaloosa Mayor's 5K race when he was 83," Singleton said. "His friend Sharon Jay accompanied him, and they might have been dragging by the end, but they finished it."
His stepdaughter Diana Arrington cared for Singleton as his health failed in recent months.
"I would take him his favorite catfish from Nick's and steak from Mustang Oil," she said. "Toward the end, all he wanted was green grapes and cheese straws."
Singleton's popularity in the community was evident after his death as people stopped by the family's home bringing what Peggy Singleton described as enough food to eat for a month. Monty Wilson, whose mother used to draw blood at Singleton's office, dropped by with a note, she said.
"I knew your husband to be a man dedicated to his profession, with a compassion for all people that transcended race or social status," she read from Wilson's note. "He was also a man of humor who enjoyed both hearing and telling a good joke now and then."
His wife said that while he was hospitalized, he liked to sneak out of his room and across the building to the emergency room to see what was going on. She spoke to some of the nurses on duty Monday, when he died.
"He had walked across the hall and drank from the water fountain and told them it was the best water he'd ever had. He told someone that he was going home that day," Peggy Singleton said. "The nurse later went in to give him his medicine, and he had indeed gone home — his heavenly home."
Singleton was the father of three children. He had four step-children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Services will be held at Greensboro Baptist Church at 11 a.m. today.

Candidates for Kent County Levy Court, state house and senate districts for the Smyrna-Clayton area converged Monday night in the auditorium at Smyrna High School for a debate hosted by the Sun-Times and GateHouse Media Delaware.
The topics of discussion ranged from farmland preservation to government spending to what candidates would specifically do for local citizens.
There wasn't a large crowd in attendance but the candidates did what they could to prove why they were the better choice in the Nov. 6 election. There was no debate for Senate District 14 as both candidates — Sen. Bruce Ennis (D-Smyrna) and Scott Unruh — had a prior commitment at the New Castle County Farm Bureau banquet.
GateHouse Media Delaware Executive Editor Jesse Chadderdon moderated the debate.
Levy Court District 1
Kent County Levy Court President P. Brooks Banta is running unopposed in District 1, but he took the opportunity to talk with those in attendance about county issues.
Banta is seeking his fifth term and noted six years ago the Levy Court administration cut the county budget from $28 to $30 million to $21 million by cross-training employees, giving some early retirements, cutting expenses and more.
"Kent County is one of the greatest places in the world to live because it's cheap living but there's a lot of fun here," Banta said.
Senate District 15
The debate for Senate District 15 featured all three candidates: Sen. Dave Lawson (R-Marydel), Katie Cooke (D), and Catherine Samardza (I).
The candidates agreed on some topics such as cutting tax taxes and creating incentives to foster small business growth but differed in other areas.
When candidates were asked about the importance of the passing of a bill referencing home invasions, Cooke agreed with the bill but questioned Sen. Lawson's compromise in terms of the punishment, which was reduced from a 15-year sentence to four-year sentence when it was finalized and approved.
Lawson said the bill he proposed suggested a 15-year sentence because he felt the punishment should match the crime of home invasion because the trauma lasts a lifetime. "I will seek the harsher penalties in an amendment this year," Lawson said.
House District 11
The District 11 Representative candidates did not have a debate as Lynne Newlin (D) and Margaret McKeown (L) had prior commitments, so Jeff Spiegelman (R) addressed the audience.
He was asked by one attendee what he would do about the town of Hartly needing help while "being strangled by their own legislation."
Spiegelman said the town needs help from the state but there are issues with money, bureaucracy issues, and more.
"We need to get government out of the way," he said. "It's [government] supposed to be helping small towns. It's supposed to be creating an atmosphere where small businesses can grow."
House District 28
Rep. Bill Carson (D-Smyrna) is running against Chris Sylvester (R) for the 28th House District.
The first question for the candidates was what their number one priority would be for their district. Sylvester said he'd be cautious in the bills he sponsors as he thinks it's important for local towns to handle their own issues. Carson said he listens to the residents and talks with both parties because "By listening to the people, the ones that put us there, you'll never go wrong that way."
The two were also asked what would be the one project they'd work on for the Smyrna-Clayton communities.
Carson said two things come to mind: jobs and quality of life for the community. The best way to accomplish this, Carson said, is to lower taxes such as gross receipts taxes because that would promote business growth.
Sylvester said he's been pleased to call Smyrna home and would like to see downtown prosper, which brings him back to small business growth and the need to break the burden of businesses being overregulated and overtaxed.
House District 29
The candidates for the 29th Representative District — Rep. Lincoln Willis (R-Clayton) and Charles Paradee (D) — didn't agree on much of anything during their debate. The two especially bumped heads when Paradee accused Rep. Willis of "walking out" on a vote regarding campaign finance reform even though Rep. Willis explained he left for his son's doctor's appointment.
Eventually the moderator stepped in to stop the discussion and moved on to a different question.
Like the other candidates, Willis and Paradee were asked what their one project would be for the area.
Paradee said he would find ways to offer more vocational schooling opportunities for students, as Polytech is a distance away in Woodside: "I'd love to see more vocational opportunities, maybe another vocational school in the Smyrna-Clayton area or expanding vocational programs in the comprehensive high schools."
For Willis, he's helped bring the Bayhealth 24-hour emergency department in Smyrna to fruition and is helping with the Kent County Sports Complex. But he also touched on tax increases causing a loss in jobs.
"These tax increases that are set to expire, we have to make sure that they don't get extended," Willis said.

STOCKTON - Four people were hospitalized after a fiery five-car crash at Airport and Harding ways Monday morning.
STOCKTON - Four people were hospitalized after a fiery five-car crash at Airport and Harding ways Monday morning.
One man who was taken away in critical condition, and later upgraded to stable, was aided by two fast-acting people.
Stockton police Spokesman Officer Joe Silva said a Nissan Frontier pickup was traveling at a high speed on northbound Airport Way and rear-ended a line of cars waiting at a red light at the Harding Way intersection, causing a "chain reaction."
In the aftermath of the crash, a Ford Thunderbird was severely crunched and caught fire. Both a Honda Civic and a Hyundai sedan sustained major damage to their rear ends, and the Frontier was rolled over onto its roof, facing south.
Teo Yosores, 24, and his mother were at the front of the line in his two-door Honda Civic.
"I just got rear-ended, and we were pushed around the corner," he said. "We're lucky we weren't hurt. I didn't see anything coming."
Witnesses said the collision is one of the worst they've seen at the intersection, where fender benders are not uncommon.
Jake Puckett and Amir Tavakoli, both employees of an auto repair center on Airport and Harding ways, said the crash sounded like an explosion.
Both men raced to the aid of people involved in the crash. Tavakoli used a fire extinguisher to put out the Thunderbird's fire.
"We'd put out the fire, and it seemed like it was right on the gas tank, because once we had it out, it started again," Puckett said. "We had to keep putting it out."
Silva said investigators were continuing to assess how the crash occurred. The man in the Thunderbird was treated for serious injuries but was upgraded to stable by late Monday afternoon. The other three injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Click here for Futures' 2013 ETF Guide.
Two decades ago, State Street Bank introduced the SPDR S&P 500 to the market and the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) was born. Now, 20 years later, traders have their pick of more than 1,400 ETFs, along with various other exchange-traded products (ETPs).
ETPs can offer many advantages to traders, notably diversity, ease of use and cost-effectiveness. But before adding these products to their portfolios, traders also should be aware of the corresponding risks. Here, industry experts offer an overview of the products that fall within this asset class, and some common pros and cons of trading them.
In simplest terms, ETFs are securities that track the performance of an underlying index or asset. Traders who buy ETFs own shares of a pool of securities, and, in the event that the company managing the fund goes out of business, those traders still own those securities. Although they would have to find a new manager for their ETFs — or liquidate them altogether — they will not lose their investment.
One of the greatest strengths of ETFs is their sheer variety. There are ETFs covering almost every asset class and market sector — from commodities to forex and equities — and traders can use them for numerous purposes.
"They can be used for retirement, income generation, speculation, for any purpose and any opinion the customer may have," says George Fischer, director of product management at E*Trade. "They're simple and easy to understand. So certainly they offer the simplicity and availability to open an account and use it for a variety of different purposes."
Traders who are lacking exposure to a specific asset class can remedy that problem easily by buying an ETF that comprises stocks from various companies within that sector.
This approach also can help to reduce risk because traders own shares in multiple companies. "You're not taking a [position] on any one particular company, but you do want exposure to the sector to help control the risk in your portfolio," says Michael Iachini, managing director of ETF research at Charles Schwab. "And you can take examples like that from any part of the market, whether that's bonds or stocks or individual countries or parts of the commodities market, too."
ETFs are especially helpful if traders want to invest in a market sector that lies outside their expertise. A trader looking for more exposure to Chinese stocks, for instance, simply can buy an ETF comprising shares of multiple Chinese businesses rather than researching individual companies, Iachini says.
Aside from their ease of use, ETFs also are affordable, says Michael Burke, vice president of client training and education at TradeStation. Although the price of ETFs can vary, many fall within the $10 to $50 range.
They also can be traded intraday, unlike mutual funds, which are priced only once at the end of each day. To take advantage of this, traders should divide their trading days to avoid the times at the beginning and end of the day when the volatility curve is highest, advises Eric Pollackov, managing director of ETFs for Charles Schwab. "We try to eliminate [the high volatility curve], and I try to advise clients to trade intraday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET, because volatility creates uncertainty and uncertainty creates wider markets and wider markets create poor executions for investors," he says.
Finally, because of the way in which they are structured, many ETFs are more tax-efficient than mutual funds. ETFs generally are subject to capital gains taxes only if the entire investment is sold, while mutual funds incur these taxes for in-kind transactions.

Close up view of the bird artwork mounted to this silk brocade wall scroll
This scroll features two little blue birds in the branches of a Chinese persimmon tree.
Surely a sign that these birds are living life with everything as they wish - because what bird would not love to live in a tree full of sweet persimmons?
Giving this artwork to someone shows your desire for all of their wishes to come true, or perhaps if you hang it on your own wall, it will make your wishes come true.
The title in Chinese is "Shi Shi Ru Yi".
To Directly translate these words:
Shi Shi = Everything
Ru = Follows / As
Yi = Your Wish / Your Will
This work was done in Chengdu by Huang Xin'an (Pronounced a little bit like "who-ong shin un") from the Sichuan (Szechwan) Province of China.
After I bought this work in Chengdu, I later returned to Beijing and had it mounted as a traditional hand-made silk scroll in our workshop. This makes a nice, ready-to-hang piece of wonderful hand-painted art.
Huang Xin'an signing some of his work in Chengdu.
I lost track of Huang Xin'an after my last trip to Chengdu. His phone number was out of order, and I was disappointed that I could not contact him to get more of his paintings.
I make the decision to go to Chengdu on my new art-buying trip mostly because of him.
After 15 hours on a slow train, I arrive in Chengdu. I check-in at Sam's Guesthouse (a hangout for backpackers from around the world, and a hostel with reasonably-priced beds). After a much-needed shower, I head out to find Huang Xin'an.
Taxis drive at the speed-of-light in Chengdu (the city boasts over 1000 fatal auto accidents per year), I arrive in no-time at the place I last found Mr. Huang. Sure enough, as I walk down the alley toward his gallery, he sees me and runs out to greet me. I'm really happy to see him, and the feeling is mutual.
I tell him how I came to Chengdu just to buy art from him (after not being able to reach him on the phone). He is so honored that I think he wants to hug me. He offers me a chair, and says he's painted a lot of work over that last 9 months with both me and my customers in mind. I was also honored by this gesture. He shows me a lot of new work in styles that I like.
I spend 2 days with Mr. Huang and we talk about a lot of new ideas and artwork that I think my western customers will like. He offers to close his gallery for a few days, and paint the art that I asked for. So I took a few days to meet and visit other artists in Chengdu. When I return to Mr. Huang's gallery, I am not disappointed. He did such a great job, words can't describe.

Gary's random little things about China:
Everyone is going to hate me for this, but here is the truth:
Some people who currently prefer to call themselves "Asian-Americans" woke up one morning and decided that "Oriental" is now a word to be used only for Oriental rugs, Oriental art and lamps, or any other inanimate object from Eastern Asia.
When I was teaching English in China, many of my students would refer to themselves as "Oriental", and I would correct them and say, It's better to say that you are Asian or Chinese rather than Oriental, but I was at a loss as to explain why.
My Chinese students were very smart, and came back at me with the fact that being from Asia was too broad a term, and asked if Persians and Saudi Arabians should also refer to themselves as "Asian".
I then had to make excuses for my geographically-challenged fellow Americans* who had long ago replaced the correct term of "Oriental" (meaning the bio-geographic region including southern Asia and the Malay Archipelago as far as the Philippines, Borneo and Java), and replaced it with "Asian" which in truth encompasses half the world's population - many of whom do not consider themselves to be of the same race as those from the Orient.
(For those Americans reading this and who've slept through their high school geography class: It's true, the whole Middle East, and half of Russia are located in the Asian continent)
But I admit I am not helping the problem. You see, almost half the people that find our website did so while searching for "Asian art" and I have done a lot to promote our business as "Purveyors of Asian art". So you can blame me too.
To truly be an Asian art gallery, we would have to offer artwork from beyond the Orient, from places like India, Persia (Iran), most Arab nations, and Russia.
There are a lot of things that present problems in the English language.
Usually these problems are thanks to mistakes of the past.
That's why we have to say, "He's an Indian from India" versus "He's a Native-American Indian" (Thanks to Mr. Columbus).
Things to learn:
Do not refer to a Persian (Iranian) as Arab.
If you refer to an Arab-American as being Asian, they will look at you funny and possibly be offended.
If you refer to a person from India as Asian, you will mildly amuse them.
If you refer to a Russian as being Asian, they will pour borsch on you (my ex-wife is Russian, so I know this to be true from experience).
Using "Asian" to refer to a person from Singapore is okay, but they will later, as if by accident, mention that they are in fact from the most civilized country in Asia.
*We citizens of the USA call ourselves "Americans" which seems a bit arrogant to our neighbors who reside on the continents of North and South America. Keep in mind, Canadians and Mexicans are also from North America, but refer to themselves in more correct geographic terms.

In the grand scheme of things, hard work usually pays off.
In the grand scheme of things, hard work usually pays off.
But, in the midst of all the hard work, practice, mental preparation, time, sacrifice, delayed gratification, sometimes the unthinkable happens. Sometimes, injuries happen. And, just like that, an athlete must make a paradigm shift.
Being a teenager is tough enough without taking away the seemingly innate need for physical accomplishment via competitive sports. When injuries occur, it puts the very heart and soul of an athlete to the test.
"Why?" is typically the first response. "Now what?" is next.
The road back from injury is a testament to not ony the athlete's commitment to sports and personal development, but also a byproduct of support from family and friends, both of which are crucial to the "rehabilitation" of mind, body and spirit during the process of getting back into the game.
At its core, an individual's self-esteem should not be tied to one's involvement in athletics. But, like many things in life, it's a bridge to the future — a building block — and helps a growing and developing person realize goals and experience self-fulfillment in achieving success as an individual and as part of a team.
The actual competition is merely the "test." The true lessons are learned before the games are even played. They are learned in practice, off-season training, keeping fit through good eating habits, getting enough rest, and surrounding one's self with good friends.
Jesse Smith and Mary Moyer are two recent examples of life throwing a curve at them.
Both sustained season-ending injuries, and, for Moyer, an injury during gymnastics season will also keep her out of track and field. A tough situation for a senior, as both were. Moyer, who set a school record on the pole vault with a 9-foot vault last year, like Smith, is a versatile athlete who competes in more than one sport.
Smith, an accomplished soccer player who will be competing in the sport in college, missed the last half of wrestling season due to injury. Though soccer is his premier sport, Smith comes from a wrestling family and missed out on an opportunity to compete in the District 3 championships for a second-straight year.
It seems that life is full of unseen things, like driving down the road and not seeing the large deer about to cross the street. When adversity comes our way, it's like a blindside hit that is impossible to brace for but, in the back of our minds, we know it is always possible.
I remember waching Brandon Yurek's phenomenal leap into home plate against Chambersburg last spring. Little did anyone know at the time that that was the last game the Waynesboro outfielder would play in 2012. He suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Then a senior, Yurek had hit safely in the first three games, including a 3-for-3 performance with two runs in a 5-0 win over James Buchanan and a 2-for-3 effort with two runs and two RBIs in a 17-8 win over Chambersburg three days later.
Then there's Johnnie Adgers, who at 145 pounds played like a linebacker when he carried the ball for the Waynesboro Indians football team. The feature back for three years in a row, Adgers was known for his knack for finding the open field and picking up yards in big chunks. He could also gain yards the hard way, lowering his helmet like a battering ram into awaiting defensive players and try to pick up any extra yardage he could.
In the next to last game of the 2012 season, Adgers' number came up. He injured an ankle and sat out the rest of the game. It wasn't the first time he was battered and bruised — or missed games — but, it was arguably the first time I thought this might be a serious injury with some at least near-future repercussions.
Adgers, who gained over 1,500 yards as a junior and 1,117 as a senior, was questionable leading up to the season finale against Big Spring. He played, and he helped the Tribe close out the season with a win, gaining 117 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown run with 3:35 left in the game for a fitting farewell for the back who not only could take hits but dish them out. He ran in trademark form, using his agility to run side to side and cutting hard on his ankles to turn up field for yardage once he found a seam in the defense.
Adgers, who will leave big shoes to fill next season at running back, is competing this spring for the Indians track and field team.

From now until the NCAA tournament games begin on Tuesday night, all sorts of experts and prognosticators, along with millions of amateurs competing in office pools, will attempt to predict the outcomes of all 67 of the tournament's games.
People have all sorts of reasons to pick one team over another. Some break down game footage; others look at advanced statistics; and still others give preference to schools they or their friends attended.
But what if we took a different approach and picked teams based on the strength of their mascots?
Click to join the MSF Bracket Challenge to compete against the Mascotology Bracket as well as other MSF writers, readers, and a dart-throwing ocelot.
Who would win in a matchup between a Spartan and a Crusader or between an orange and a grizzly bear?
Mascotology breaks down the entire NCAA tournament field by looking at who would prevail in a hypothetical meeting of mascots.
For the purposes of this exercise, I am judging the mascot by the person or creature it represents rather than on the quality of the costume itself. But, in cases where it is difficult to pick a winner, I give myself license to award bonus points for the design of the mascot.
First, here is the 2013 NCAA tournament bracket, by mascot:
|Lexington – March 21/23
|Kansas City – March 22/24
|1) Louie the Cardinal, Louisville

Midwest Region
First Round
Sparky (Liberty) v. Bulldog (North Carolina A&T)
Tuesday, the first night of tournament play, will see this showdown between Sparky, an eagle representing the Liberty Flames, and North Carolina A&T's bulldog. A bird of prey beats a domesticated house pet every time. Sparky advances.
Lightning (Middle Tennessee) v. Gael Force One (St. Mary's)
Tuesday also pits Middle Tennessee against St. Mary's. As of Sunday afternoon, these teams were on the bubble. Had they been judged by their mascots alone, they would have been locks.
Lightning is a blue, winged horse with big teeth. Gael Force One is some sort of giant (inflatable?) knight (and possibly Cylon). I love both mascots, but Gael Force One, who stands 10 feet tall, would frighten any horse, winged or otherwise.
Second Round
Louie the Cardinal (Louisville) v. Sparky (Liberty)
A cardinal against and eagle. This one's easy. Liberty's mascot advances to the round of 32, and we have our first ever 16-beats-1 upset.
CAM the Ram (Colorado State) v. Truman the Tiger (Missouri)
Rams sound like they should be intimidating, but it's really nothing more than a male sheep. Truman the Tiger has no trouble with CAM the Ram.
Pistol Pete (Oklahoma State) v. The Oregon Duck (Oregon)
Anyone who had an original Nintendo Entertainment System with a light gun knows how this match-up will turn out. Pistol Pete wins.
The Billiken (Saint Louis) v. Pistol Pete (New Mexico State)
There is no team in this year's field that I'm pulling for more than the Saint Louis Billikens. But a billiken is a charm doll with a big belly and even bigger cheekbones, and is quite possibly the least intimidating mascot in the entire field.
Thursday in San Jose will see two victories for mascots named "Pistol Pete."
TOM III (Memphis) v. Gael Force One (St. Mary's)
This is a tough one. Generally I would favor a tiger (TOM III) over a human. But Gael Force One appears to be wearing armor from head to toe and may shoot lasers out of his eyes. GF1 advances.
Sparty (Michigan State) v. The Crusader (Valparaiso)
I'm sure that there were plenty of advances in military technology between the Peloponnesian War and the Crusades. Nonetheless, I give the edge here to the Spartans.
The residents of ancient Sparta, perhaps more than the people of any other city in the world at any other time in history, are known for their skill in battle. Sparty defeats the Crusader and moves on.
Billy the Bluejay (Creighton) v. The Bearcat (Cincinnati)
A bearcat isn't an actual thing. But were there such a thing as a bear-wildcat hybrid, it would defeat a bluejay every time.
The Blue Devil (Duke) v. Damien the Great Dane (Albany)
Jesus, while speaking to a crowd about spiritual beings and forces, said, "Every kingdom involved in civil war becomes a wasteland. Every city or house torn apart by divisions will collapse" (Matthew 12:25, CEB).
Duke is a Christian school (United Methodist) with one of the nation's most esteemed divinity schools that is home to America's foremost theologian, Stanley Hauerwas. Yet its mascot is a devil. Duke's nickname actually comes from les Diables Bleus, a French military unit in World War I. But the mascot is not an early 20th century French soldier. It is the devil.
So the Blue Devil loses to a great dane named, ironically enough, "Damien."
Third Round
Sparky (Liberty) v. Truman the Tiger (Missouri)
I can't imagine that an eagle would ever mess with a tiger. But a tiger wouldn't even be able to mess with an eagle. Were we dealing with a lesser bird, I'd give the edge to the Tiger. But an eagle is big enough, strong enough, and deadly enough to carry Liberty into the Sweet 16.
Pistol Pete (Oklahoma State) v. Pistol Pete (New Mexico State)
Here we have a battle of Pistol Petes. Oklahoma State's Pete gets the victory, if only because New Mexico State's Pete once suffered the indignity of having Utah State mascot Big Blue rip off his fake mustache during a timeout.
Gael Force One (St. Mary's) v. Sparty (Michigan State)
Gael Force One finally meets its match. The Spartans didn't stand down in the Battle of Thermopylae. And Sparty isn't going to stand down against a Gaelic robo-knight. "No retreat, no surrender. That is Spartan law."
The Bearcat (Cincinnati) v. Damien the Great Dane (Albany)
I hate allowing a fake animal to advance all the way to the Sweet 16. But a large, wild carnivore beats a domesticated pet, even if that domesticated pet is a large dog.
Sweet 16
Sparky (Liberty) v. Pistol Pete (Oklahoma State)
Since there are no longer any eagles on the U.S. government's endangered species list, I can't imagine that a cowboy like Pistol Pete would have any qualms about firing his pistol at a bird of prey. Oklahoma State moves on.
Sparty (Michigan State) v. The Bearcat (Cincinnati)
I'm convinced that an armed Spartan warrior would hold his own against a bearcat. Sparty takes down Cincinnati's fake predator once and for all.
Elite Eight
Pistol Pete (Oklahoma State) v. Sparty (Michigan State)
Sparty certainly looks more intimidating, but Pistol Pete has a big advantage when it comes to weaponry. Sparty also has bare arms and legs, leaving him vulnerable to attack. Pistol Pete wins this round and represents the Midwest Region in the Final Four.
West Region
First Round
Buster Bronco (Boise State) v. The Explorer (La Salle)
Few things are as valuable to an explorer as a tame horse. A bronco — a wild horse or one with a tendency to buck — on the other hand, could cause an explorer all sorts of problems. Buster Bronco gets the first-round win.
Second Round
Spike the Bulldog (Gonzaga) v. Lacumba (Southern)
Lacumba is a jaguar, the sight of which would leave a bulldog cowering in fear. Unfortunately, Southern has traditionally had live mascots, the most recent of whom (the jaguar Lacumba II) died in 2004. The university planned to create a special habitat for a new jaguar mascot but scrapped those plans in 2010.
Since Southern's mascot situation remains unresolved, Spike moves on.
ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh) v. WuShock (Wichita State)
WuShock is a wheat shocker, one who gathers wheat into sheaves or shocks. It's a great mascot, but WuShock is no match for a panther.
Bucky the Badger (Wisconsin) v. Rebel Black Bear (Mississippi)
I'm picking an upset here. Badgers, honey or otherwise, are nasty little creatures. I think Mississippi's new Rebel Black Bear (the recent replacement for Colonel Reb) gets badgered into frustration and walks away. Bucky wins.
Willie the Wildcat (Kansas State) v. Buster Bronco (Boise State)
Hoofed mammals don't generally fare well against carnivores. But a wildcat isn't going to take down a bronco. Buster moves on.
Wilbur Wildcat (Arizona) v. Bruiser (Belmont)
Bruiser is a bruin, which is a brown bear. The average wildcat is faster and more agile than the average bear. But a brown bear's considerable size advantage would be too much for a wildcat to overcome. Bruiser wins this one.
Lobo Louie (New Mexico) v. John Harvard (Harvard)
John Harvard, for whom Harvard University is named, was a 17th-century clergyman who settled in Massachusetts in the 1630s. Lobo Louie is a wolf. I'm sure that an earlier American settler would be resourceful when it comes to dealing with wild animals. Still, I think Louie Lobo wins this round.
Leprechaun (Notre Dame) v. Cy the Cardinal (Iowa State)
This is possibly the least interesting mascot matchup in the entire bracket. A leprechaun and a cardinal. I don't have a lot of faith in small, colored birds. And a leprechaun is a magical creature. Notre Dame gets the victory.
Brutus (Ohio State) v. Killian (Iona)
A buckeye is a nut from the Aesculus glabra tree. Killian is a Gael, a person who speaks a Goidelic, such as Irish or Scottish Gaelic. It would be an insult to the people of the British Isles to say that Killian couldn't outlast a nut. Iona moves on.
Third Round
Spike the Bulldog (Gonzaga) v. ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh)
Spike advanced into the third round on a technicality, and he's not going any further. Pittsburgh's panther is too much for Gonzaga's bulldog, and ROC gets the win.
Bucky the Badger (Wisconsin) v. Buster Bronco (Boise State)
Badgers and broncos aren't animals that are known to interact with each other. But I'm guessing that a wild horse would be too big and too fast for a badger to deal with. Buster moves on to the Sweet 16.
Bruiser (Belmont) v. Louie Lobo (New Mexico)
The biggest wolves weigh just under 100 pounds. It's not unusual for a brown bear to weigh more than 1,000 pounds. Louie Lobo is a wolf. Bruiser is a brown bear. Bruiser wins.
Leprechaun (Notre Dame) v. Killian (Iona)
Killian, a Gael, knows all about leprechauns and their magical powers. Iona's Killian catches Notre Dame's leprechaun and gets three wishes, one of which is to advance to the Sweet 16.
Sweet 16
ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh) v. Buster the Bronco (Boise State)
Buster outlasted a wildcat and a badger, but he won't fare well against a panther. ROC moves on to the Elite Eight.
Bruiser (Belmont) v. Killian (Iona)
Killian the Gael would never have seen a carnivore as large or as intimidating as a brown bear. Bruiser the bruin sends Killian running (and it's never a good idea to run from a bear) and takes a trip to the regional final.
Elite Eight
ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh) v. Bruiser (Belmont)
Bruiser, a brown bear, has used his considerable size advantage to tear through the bracket. And while a bruin is considerably larger than a jaguar, that difference isn't nearly as stark as, say, the difference in size between a bear and wolf.
I think ROC, a panther, with his speed, dexterity, and long, sharp teeth takes this round and gives Pitt its first Final Four in school history.
South Region
Second Round
Big Jay (Kansas) v. Big Red (Western Kentucky)
"Jayhawks," Kansas's nickname, is short for "Jayhawkers," groups of militants who fought with pro-slavery forces from Missouri before the Civil War. Big Jay, the school's mascot, is a bird.
Big Red, mascot of the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, is a red blob/monster, who wouldn't have been out of place in the opening sequence of "The Muppet Show." I'm of the opinion that blob beats bird and give this round to Big Red. Yet another 16-beats-1 upset.
Rameses (North Carolina) v. Will D. Cat (Villanova)
Rameses, mascot of the North Carolina Tar Heels, is a ram. And, as I mentioned above, a ram is really just a sheep. But in the case of Rameses, we're talking about a sheep whose size and big horns make him too much for a wildcat, such as Villanova's Will D. Cat, to handle.
Rodney the Ram (VCU) v. Zippy the Kangaroo (Akron)
The big horns would give a ram, like VCU's Rodney, a fighting chance against a kangaroo, like Akron's Zippy. But kangaroos have been known to dabble in boxing, so Zippy takes this round.
Wolverines (Michigan) v. Jack Rabbit (South Dakota State)
Michigan doesn't actually have a mascot. So even though a wolverine would have its way with a jackrabbit, Jack Rabbit and SDSU get a pass into the second round.
Joe Bruin (UCLA) v. Goldy Gopher (Minnesota)
Belmont's Bruiser showed us that bruins are a tough out in Mascotology. A gopher certainly isn't going to do anything to a half-ton brown bear. Joe Bruin and UCLA win easily.
Albert the Gator (Florida) v. Vic the Demon (Northwestern State)
Demons — whether the dark spiritual beings we encounter in the New Testament, the djinn in the Qur'an, or the Asuras in Hindu spirituality — can wreak havoc on the weak in mind and spirit, including non-human animals such as alligators. Vic gets into Albert's head and moves on to the Third Round.
Aztec Warrior (San Diego State) v. Boomer and Sooner (Oklahoma)
Oklahoma's official mascot is the Sooner Schooner, a Conestoga wagon pulled by two live horses. Since driving a horse-drawn wagon inside a basketball arena would be asking for disaster, Oklahoma uses Boomer and Sooner, costumed versions of the horses, for indoor sports.
You may recall from history class that the Aztecs' first encounter with horses didn't go very well. The Aztec Warrior will remember what happened in Tenochtitlan 500 years ago and will get his revenge on the genus Equus by taking down Boomer and Sooner.
Jack the Bulldog (Georgetown) v. Azul the Eagle (Florida Gulf Coast)
It should be clear from my previous picks that I believe "bird of prey > house pet." Azul wins in a rout.
Third Round
Big Red (Western Kentucky) v. Rameses (North Carolina)
I'm not sure why, but I like Big Red here. The blob/Muppet goes to the Sweet 16.
Zippy the Kangaroo (Akron) v. Jack Rabbit (South Dakota State)
Here we have two mascots with impressive hops. But there's no question that a kangaroo is more intimidating than a rabbit, jack or otherwise. Zippy keeps playing.
Joe the Bruin (UCLA) v. Vic the Demon (Northwestern State)
I've never really been into demonology, but I think that the spiritual forces of wickedness prevail in this matchup. Vic drives Joe to insanity and advances.
Aztec Warrior (San Diego State) v. Azul the Eagle (Florida Gulf Coast)
I would imagine that San Diego State's Aztec Warrior would treat an eagle such as Azul with reverence. But if that eagle were to attack, the Aztec Warrior would prevail. San Diego State moves on to the Sweet 16.
Sweet 16
Big Red (Western Kentucky) v. Zippy the Kangaroo (Akron)
Big Red, a blob, would be impervious to any amount of boxing or kicking on Zippy's part. Big Red and Western head to the Elite Eight.
Vic the Demon (Northwestern State) v. Aztec Warrior (San Diego State)
An Aztec Warrior may be too strong-willed for a demon. I'm picking the Aztec to defeat Vic the Demon and advance to play Big Red.
Elite Eight
Big Red (Western Kentucky) v. Aztec Warior (San Diego State)
My heart says Big Red, but no Aztec Warrior is going to be foiled by a poor man's Sesame Street character. The Aztec and San Diego State go to the Final Four.
East Region
First Round
Blackbird (Long Island University) v. Duke Dog (James Madison)
Duke Dog, the mascot for the James Madison Dukes, is a bulldog who also happens to be nobility. A greater bird would defeat a bulldog, regardless of whether that dog was an aristocrat. But Duke Dog outlasts Long Island's Blackbird.
Second Round
Hoosiers (Indiana) v. Duke Dog (James Madison)
Indiana, like Michigan, doesn't have an actual mascot. Duke Dog, the dog who wears a crown, advances on a technicality, meaning Gonzaga is the only No. 1 seed to advance past its first matchup.
Mr. Wuf (North Carolina State) v. Hooter the Owl (Temple)
If you're a rodent, few things are as frightening as an owl. If you're a wolf, an owl probably doesn't bother you. Mr. Wuf, a wolf, takes this one.
Hey Reb! (UNLV) v. Oski the Bear (California)
People like Hey Reb!, the UNLV athletic department's version of Yosemite Sam, are the reason why Golden Bears such as Oski are extinct now. UNLV moves on.
Otto the Orange (Syracuse) v. Monte (Montana)
Monte, Montana's mascot, is a grizzly bear. Otto is a piece of fruit. This one's easy. Monte wins.
Butler Blue III (Butler) v. Bucky the Bison (Bucknell)
Butler's Blue III is one of the most lovable mascots in all of college sports, but a large, wild animal is more intimidating than a small domesticated one.
Golden Eagle (Marquette) v. Mr. Cat (Davidson)
By now, you know how I feel about both birds of prey and wildcats. An eagle would have no problem with a wildcat. So Marquette's Golden Eagle has no trouble with Davidson's Mr. Cat.
Fighting Illini (Illinois) v. Chip (Colorado)
Illinois hasn't had a mascot since the school retired Chief Illiniwek in 2007 after the NCAA deemed the chief "hostile or abusive" to Native Americans. Chip, Colorado's costumed buffalo mascot (not to be confused with Ralphie, the live bison mascot at Colorado football games), gets the win.
Sebastian the Ibis (Miami) v. Powercat (Pacific)
If the Miami Hurricanes had come up with a hurricane mascot, they would have won this tournament easily. But they went with Sebastian the Ibis, who is a nice mascot but no match for Powercat, Pacific's tiger.
Third Round
Duke Dog (James Madison) v. Mr. Wuf (North Carolina State)
Once again we have a matchup between a wild animal (Mr. Wuf) and a domesticated one (Duke Dog). You know what happens. Mr. Wuf goes to the Sweet 16.
Hey Reb! (UNLV) v. Monte (Montana)
UNLV's mountain man mascot, Hey Reb!, has already taken out one bear. Here, he takes out another.
Bucky the Bison (Bucknell) v. Golden Eagle (Marquette)
Eagles have done well thus far in this bracket. But a bison like Bucky is much too large for Marquette's Golden Eagle. Bucky and Bucknell head to the Sweet 16.
Chip (Colorado) v. Powercat (Pacific)
A bison may be too big for an eagle, but it's not too big for a tiger. Powercat and the Pacific Tigers move on.
Sweet 16
Mr. Wuf (North Carolina State) v. Hey Reb! (UNLV)
You won't find many wolves in the western United States these days, thanks in part to frontiersmen like Hey Reb! Hey Reb! does to Mr. Wuf what he did to the two bears.
Bucky the Bison (Bucknell) v. Powercat (Pacific)
Powercat took down one ungulate in the third round. He takes down another in the Sweet 16.
Elite Eight
Hey Reb! (UNLV) v. Powercat (Pacific)
I'm guessing that a tiger would give Hey Reb! more problems than a bear or wolf. But I'm picking Hey Reb! to continue his reign of terror and advance to the Final Four.
Final Four
Pistol Pete (Oklahoma State) v. ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh)
Pistol Pete has one obvious advantage over ROC the Panther, namely the pistol. But I'm going to pick an upset. I'm going to say that ROC will be too fierce and too intimidating for Pistol Pete, who will have never seen a panther before.
Aztec Warrior (San Diego State) v. Hey Reb! (UNLV)
An Aztec warrior should be more intimidating than a mountain man, but look at the pictures above and tell me which is more frightening. Hey Reb! has crazy in his eyes; he also has a technological advantage over his conference rival. Hey Reb! and UNLV advance.
Hey Reb! (UNLV) v. ROC the Panther (Pittsburgh)
Man versus beast. I could see this going either way.
But after besting two bears, a wolf, a tiger, and an Aztec warrior, Hey Reb! survives another round and defeats ROC the Panther to win Mascotology.

LOOMIS, Calif. (AP) — A fourth person has died from eating a soup made with poisonous mushrooms earlier this month at senior care facility in Northern California, authorities said Tuesday.
The Placer County Sheriff's Department identified the woman as Dorothy Mary Hart, 92.
Three others at the six-bed Gold Age Villa care facility in Loomis died from eating the mushrooms in what sheriff's investigators characterize as an accident.
"This is an ongoing tragedy, an unfortunate accident," said Dena Erwin, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office.
All of the victims were sickened Nov. 8, including the caretaker who made the soup after picking mushrooms in the backyard of the facility.
The other people who have died were identified as Barbara Lopes, 86; Teresa Olesniewicz, 73; and Frank Warren Blodgett, 90.
California's Department of Social Services is investigating the incident, though sheriff's investigators have said the caretaker who made the soup did not know that the mushrooms were poisonous.
The most recent death occurred at a nursing home, where the victim was transferred from a Sacramento-area hospital.
Vomiting and diarrhea associated with mushroom poisoning can take 12 hours or longer to develop, which often makes it difficult to diagnose, said Dr. Kent R. Olson, medical director of the San Francisco division of the California Poison Control System.
The loss of fluids can cause kidney failure, but the poisons attack the liver and stop the organ from producing normal proteins. The victim usually falls into a coma, and the liver eventually shuts down and dies.
Fall begins the season for highly sought-after wild chanterelle mushrooms in Northern California, and for the amanita species of mushroom that include what are known as "death cap" and "death angel" varieties.
Mushroom experts said that young poisonous North American amanitas found in the San Francisco Bay Area can often look like an edible version of a wild mushroom popular in Asia.
California recorded 1,700 cases of mushroom-related illnesses from 2009 to 2010, including two deaths.

Ph: 603-893-8300
Built by a Native American Culture or a migrant European population? No one knows for sure.
A maze of man-made chambers, walls and ceremonial meeting places, America's Stonehenge is most likely the oldest man-made construction in the United States (over 4000 years old).
Like Stonehenge in England, America's Stonehenge was built by ancient people well versed in astronomy and stone construction. It has been determined that the site is an accurate astronomical calendar. It was, and still can be, used to determine specific solar and lunar events of the year. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the 105 acres of woodlands and wildlife at America's Stonehenge.
America's Stonehenge is also home to seven friendly alpacas. Come visit the herd and learn more about these interesting animals. Three babies, or cria, have already been born on the property, with more to come.
Our trails wind through 105 acres of woodlands and wildlife. Snowshoeing is fun and easy for all ages! In addition they offer Candlelight Snowshoeing experiences. Candles softly glow as you meander under a blanket of stars. Warm up in our toasty log cabin with complementary hot chocolate and cookies.
There is also a kid's gemstone dig where children 12 and under can learn about archaeology while digging for polished stones.
