A golf course named Fox Hollow, which has won an award for its relatively low impact on environment and sustainable wildlife.
Golf courses and the environment have historically been at odds. It’s hard to reconcile the careful grooming and excessive water needed for greens and fairways with conservation and natural habitats. One case in point, Lakewood’s Fox Hollow Golf Course had its construction
temporarily halted so some killdeer eggs can hatch. A pair of retail hawks
were also born during the construction of Fox Hollow. However, the golf course has recently won an award for its relatively low impact an sustained wildlife. The Golf Course Superintendents of America say Lakewood’s 27-hole Fox Hollow course blends well with Bear Creek Lake’s grasslands, and the land still hosts foxes, deer, great horned owls, blue herons, coyotes, and other wildlife. Only three Environmental Steward Awards are given out each year, so Lakewook officials are pretty excited about helping set the standard for golf courses with a soft touch.

Have you ever wondered what your old schoolmates are doing now well, plenty of people in Britain do. One of the most successful Internet ventures in Britain has shown how popular, and how lucrative, nostalgia can be.
The website Friends Reunited was started for fun in 1999 by a couple who were interested to know what their old school friends were doing. The project snowballed and by 2005, the site had 12 million members. One extraordinary fact is that Friends Reunited has never advertised, its success is entirely due to word-of-mouth.
You can search for a school, college or university and find a list of the members who were there in any year. You can also post a personal profile showing what you are doing now, and read other people’s details. Steve Pankhurst, one of the founders of the site, thinks that one of the reasons for its success is that some people like to be anonymous. On Friends Reunited, y ou can snoop on other people’s lives without giving away anything about yourself if you don’t want to. It’s also an opportunity to bolster your self-esteem by showing off to everyone just how successful and happy you are now, even if you weren’t while you were at school.
Friends Reunited has also led to many successful school reninons, and people meeting up with each other after many years. In particular, many people use the site to look up their childhood sweethearts and many couples have actually rekindled relationships after contacting each other through the site.
There have even been Friends Reunited weddings and babies, and Friends Reunited now has a new site called Friends Reunited Dating especially for people who are looking for love. The company has also launched other sites, such as Genes Reunited, which helps people to find long-lost relatives and build their family tress online.
So, whether you want to be nosy, contact old friends, organize a school reunion, find your first love, or simply show off you success, Friends Reunited is the site to visit.。
