FEATURE ARTICLES

BOOMTOWN IS ANNOUNCED!The plans for Steelhead Boomtown were announced at the town meeting on Feb. 12. The new sim will be located to the south of the present Steelhead City. Based upon the RL Columbia River Gorge on the Oregon-Washington border in the U.S., it will be at a higher elevation than the other sims and have mines running underneath and a dam upon the river.

Reservations are now being accepted. Contact TotalLunar Eclipse for more information and to be placed on the waiting list.

STEELHEAD IS FULL!Steelhead City and Steelhead Harborside are both currently full, with no open residential sims available! One 512 storefront lot near the docks in Doc Wrangler's old spot is available for rent and Lunar has built a beautiful new building for it (see above photo).

LIBRARY NAMING CONTEST
Steelhead's new library needs a name! Please take a notecard from in front of the library to participate. Entrants must write a 250-300 word essay on why they think the library should be called by that name and submit it as a notecard to CeAire DeCosta. The winner will be named on March 7 and receive $1000L, a nice trophy custom-designed by Lumina Elvenheim, and a plaque with the winner’s name will be mounted semi-permanently at the library. You may contact Miss DeCosta have any questions.

STEELHEAD CITY'S STREETS HAVE NAMES
The new names of Steelhead City's streets have been announced: Shortline Way, Cherry Tree Lane, Harbor View Way, Grand Central Avenue (formerly Gunfight Lane), Dock Street, Steelhead Docks, and Dock Street. The bridge leading to Miss Katt's Lighthouse Island will be named Katt Walk.

MEN OF STEELHEAD CALENDAR AVAILABLE
In honor of the gents who danced in a little less than usual to help raise money at the Harborside Shirtless O'Clock Fundraiser, Krystine Qinan has created a "Males of Steelhead" 2008 Calendar. Originally distributed through the group, please contact her if you would like a copy!
