SJ-R.COM - Park board: Pavilion to be energy model

Published Friday, August 03, 2007

In addition to accommodating people with special needs, the future pavilion at Springfield’s Southwind Park is being heralded as a national model when it comes to environmental sustainability.

Plans for the building include geothermal heating and cooling, solar panels, wind turbines and the use of recycled construction materials wherever possible.

Supporters of the project say the pavilion will have lower utility costs, and they maintain it can be built within the existing budget.

Halloween at the local beauty school


I'm thinking of making Oct 31 at the beauty school an annual event.
It was a fun day.
Beauticians are creative people and their costumes were an example of their creativity.
A "tiger"gave me a haircut and pedicure.
I've been getting fantastic haircuts here. Give them a try.



This lady received a pedicure from an "angel".
