Fine art fair comes to town this weekend

With warmer weather indicating spring is just around the corner, it's time to see this winter off with a bang. One way to close out the month is by attending the fourth annual Winter Fine Arts Fair, which takes place at the Tioga Town Center from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The event is free and open to the public.

Even more shocking is that computer gaming had its best year since “Quake” and “Doom” created the first-person shooter.

Woman’s life “All About Elephants”

Mid-afternoon, Bunny, Luke and Roxy sway their rotund, wrinkly bodies in anticipation. They know feeding time is approaching.  But their shifting weight is not only out of excitement: It’s also out of necessity. Each of the three Asian elephants weighs about 10,000 pounds.
