DECORATING
The new year is here. The decorations are put away. The house needs a new look. Noisy and hot in summer and cold in winter? Carol Beatty of Quigley Draperies shows you options here.

EVENTS
Hackley Public Library welcomes the new year with activities, artist and writer groups. Celebrate with music, explore your museum, and kick off Black History Month. See the schedule here. VIDEO!

SENIORS
Moving to an assisted living community is an exciting transition for many seniors, but can be challenging. Kurt Sapp of Seminole Shores Living Center shows you how to make the move easier.

COMMUNITY
The holiday drives were successful! Tax prep is available! Volunteering is good for your health! United Way of the Lakeshore's Christine Robere explores it all in this informative article. VIDEO!

BUSTER KEATON
In “The Playhouse,” Keaton famously uses multiple exposures to portray everyone in the theater, a tricky thing in 1921. Enjoy the film's camera tricks, complete and on line here. VIDEO!

LAKESHORE STAR GAZER
In January we can enjoy some of the brightest stars of the year, view a meteor shower, and observe some interesting planetary sights. Astronomer Jonathan Truax is your guide. VIDEO!
