| Council approve disc golf course at Ford Park
REDLANDS - The City Council approved the establishment of a nine-hole disc golf course in Ford Park Tuesday, with no cost to the city. The meeting also included acknowledgment of the trees lost on Pioneer Avenue and a farewell to Interim City Manager Sam Racadio. After being approached by Bill Maury-Holmes of Redlands regarding a disc golf course, Public Works Director Ron Mutter met with Maury-Holmes for a demonstration. "As we walked about the park and discussed it, I decided there was a good recreational opportunity here," Mutter said. Shortly after, Mutter received 25 letters in support of the disc golf course. Maury-Holmes gave a presentation to the Parks Commission Feb. 8 and the commission recommended approval at the March 8 meeting. At Tuesday's City Council meeting, Maury-Holmes said the course would cost less than $5,000 and that to play a person would need only a disc, available at Sports Chalet.

Roads not taken can lead to luxury
Forget the South Florida condo, the cottage in the Hamptons and the chalet in Aspen. They're far too cliche, not to mention ridiculously overpriced. Savvy weekenders, vacationers and retirees are surfing the Web for up-and-coming residential developments in areas that will never become the next Hilton Head. .
Baxter Auto Parts Portland Historic Races to include special guests
PORTLAND, Ore. - April 11, 2007 - The Baxter Auto Parts Portland Historic Races is pleased to welcome special guests Tony Adamowicz and George Follmer to the 31st annual event, taking place July 6 through 8 at Portland International Raceway, 1940 N Victory Blvd. The event will highlight the classic Porsche sports car as the featured marque, along with a grid of historic Trans-Am cars. In 1968, Adamowicz won the under-2-liter Trans-Am championship in a Porsche 911 that started out as a shell from the New York City impound. At the time, Porsche considered the 911 to be only a Rally car and a Hill Club car in Europe; Adamowicz quickly changed that mindset. He followed his Trans-Am championship by winning the 1969 Formula-5000 Series championship in a Chevy-powered Eagle. He played a vital role in the legendary battles between Ferrari and Porsche in the 1970s, and is one of the few drivers living today who drove both the 240 mph Porsche 917K, and its archrival, the Ferrari 512M at LeMans.
