+ April 15, 2021 BACOLOD City Mayor Evelio Leonardia has issued Executive Order (EO) No. 19, creating a committee to investigate the cutting of trees along Araneta Street in Bacolod City.
Leonardia, who signed the EO on April 14, said the City of Bacolod has long treasured the mahogany, acacia and rubber trees along Araneta Street in Barangay Singcang-Airport.
He said the scenic line of trees along the said areas has been regarded as a tourist attraction and a source of pride for generations of Bacolodnons.
A total of 26 trees were cut by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) purportedly to give way to the rehabilitation of the sidewalk via the construction of a footwalk along the said areas.
THE ONE STEAM The centuries-old ritual of a sauna then a plunge into cold water has made its way to Derby with the country s first floating sauna on the town lake - Briseis Hole. A sauna master guides the experience which includes 10 minutes of dry heat starting at 60 degrees, then some steam and then a dive into the refreshing water. Non-riders also seek out the exhilarating experience so book ahead. See floatingsauna.com.au
THE ONE LOAF Three years ago chef Luke Clarke swapped the kitchens of high-end properties from Laos and Lizard Island for baking, biking and work-life balance. On the off-grid property he shares with partner and Montreal native Catherine Irving, Clarke rises at 5am to bring Nancy, the wood-fired oven to temperature before baking sourdough loaves, cinnamon scrolls and rosemary focaccia. Order ahead and double the amount. See facebook.com/derbybreadshed

Experts offer advice on cutting firewood David Fowler By Joy VanderLek, Special to the Record-Journal
CHESHIRE â The coldest winter weather showed up the last few days of January. Stepping outside for even a moment without a hat, mittens and proper clothing and the wind went right through you. Still, so far, the season has not been as cold as some winters. Records from the early 1940s earn Falls Village the top spot in the freezer section with a reading of minus 32 degrees. Yet, on the last weekend of January 2021, town residents were waking up to temperatures in the low teens after single digits overnight â a frigid plunge that encouraged many people to turn to their woodstoves and fireplaces.
