These days, I can read about the places I might pass through on a
road trip, but I imagine it might have been a little more
intimidating in the past. To hear about these places before I
hopped in a prairie schooner or stagecoach without any other way of
learning about them besides the stories others had brought back
with them might give me pause. Stagecoach stops like “Frozenman
Stage Station” doesnt give a whole lot of hope for the future
happiness of those hoping to reside near there!

However, this stage stop did exist on the Bismarck to Deadwood
Trail and operated from 1876 through 1880. The success of a stage
line depended on the ability...

Health care professionals report three key benefits

JENSEN BEACH, Fla., Jan. 25, 2012 ? Massage and physical therapists, chiropractors and alternative health care practitioners are reporting improved client outcomes and better business results for their practices when using the CranioCradle by Kiss Life LLC.

The CranioCradle?originally developed for home use?is proving to be an indispensable complement in a growing number of spas, massage practices and health clinics. The rapid adoption of the CranioCradle is due to the documented effectiveness of the unit and also because it provides therapists three (3) important benefits:

1) As an in-session extra pair of hands....

1. Warm Up:
Part 1: Alternate lifting your knees to your chest four times (right, left, right, left).
Part 2: Alternate kicking your leg to your butt four times (like a hamstring curl). Make sure to use your arms like you are really running. Repeat entire sequence 20 times.
2012 Benefit: By lifting your legs high, your hips and hamstrings will mobilize and your core will activate. As you kick your butt, your quads dynamically stretch as you reach your heel towards your butt. As you pick up your pace, youll get your heart rate up and your body ready to work.

2. Total Body Work Out:
Part 1: Begin by squatting with hands on the floor in front of you.

Kasey Dixson is the owner of Cozy Orchard Farm in Coos Bay; and she is opening her farm up to those with currently displaced livestock.

Dixson tells KCBY it was hard for her to hear about those evacuated from their homes due to the flooding, and wanted to help out.

Sometimes the smaller animals just kind of get forgotten about or left behind, and theres not really much you can do when you have to leave your house so quickly says Dixson. So, my heart goes out to all those people who have animals, and Im sure they are worried about them and want a safe place for the to go.

Cozy Orchard Farms is located in the Bunker Hill District of Coos Bay, and is just big enough to house...

One of the most common areas that women wish to improve in terms of appearance is the back of their legs. The hamstring muscles are a group of muscles that run down the back of the legs. While aerobic activity is important for anyone looking to improve the appearance of muscle tone, there are specific exercises that can improve the strength and appearance of this muscle group.

One of the most effective exercises for increasing the strength and appearance of the back of the legs is the squat. The squat involves placing a bar either on the back of the shoulders, or in some cases holding it on the front of the arms; sometimes referred to as a front squat. The person doing a squat goes...

To the editor:
I have read with great interest over the last several months letters submitted by Crystal Swann Blackdeer to the Leavenworth Times about Leavenworths animal control services. As most of you are aware, we had significant difficulties over the summer due to the flood which caused us to close the facility on 2nd Street and temporarily relocate to the old Walmart building on 4th Street. I am happy to report that we have cleaned, repaired and re-opened the Animal Control Facility and are back operating at full capacity.

In her most recent letter on Jan. 3, Ms. Swann Blackdeer is quoted...
