A plaque or a copy of the trophy will be placed at the library with the winning essay. Here is Eugenia's winning essay:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am of the opinion that doesn't need to be a lot of frills for the names of such things as libraries. It will be as substantial a building, as respected a repository, and as honorable an institution with a simple name as it would be with a more fanciful one. I am too new to Steelhead to know of anyone in its history that would be deserving of the honor of having a library named after him or her.  So, as I see it, the name 'The Steelhead Public Library' is immensely suitable.  It is a good name. It is a sturdy name. It is a respectable name. It's a good civic name that includes the name of our fair city!   We are rightfully proud of our beautiful homeland and putting the name of the town upon the name of the library is an honor to the library as well as to the community. If we feel pride in our city, we will feel equal pride in our library - and well we should. The new library building is a beautiful structure crafted by our very own TotalLunar Eclipse. It is not affiliated with any other libraries - it is *our* library and *our's* alone! It is staffed by citizens of Steelhead. It is maintained by citizens of Steelhead. It will be as much a part of Steelhead as the hotel or the town hall.  It will be as if it belongs to each of us, with a good, civic name like '&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Steelhead Public Library&lt;/span&gt;' and that is my vote for its official name."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LIBRARY DEDICATION SPEECH (excerpted)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by CeAire DeCosta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(photo by Krystine Qinan)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/R9yZtIkBOkI/AAAAAAAADxk/m6E70VAIL2Q/s1600-h/library+dedication+speech.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/R9yZtIkBOkI/AAAAAAAADxk/m6E70VAIL2Q/s320/library+dedication+speech.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178182672240949826" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...I started thinking about how we could give something back to our new community. I started thinking about a library since Hawc and I have attended several events at the Caledon libraries and have always enjoyed ourselves immensely each time. I believed we could do the same here and he was in full agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither of us are librarians, nor do we play ones on TV! I contacted Sir JJ Drinkwater of the Caledon Libraries and asked for his future assistance. He replied that he could not undertake another library venture at the time, but would provide me with the necessary tools to get started and copies of the Caledon Library collections. I gulped and said okay, but wasn’t sure I’d know what to do with the stuff once I got it! The sun, moon and stars had to be in perfect alignment when I suddenly got an IM from Sir JJ one evening telling me that he thought he had found a librarian to undertake the task of managing Hawc’s and my fledgling dream. We were at one of our Friday night dances while he’s telling me about one Miss Riven Homewood with whom he would arrange for us to meet very soon. Surprisingly (or fate!) I found myself studying the bobbing nametags over the dancing avatars and suddenly standing out was Riven’s name! She was a new citizen of Steelhead/Harborside! After badgering poor Lunar half-to-death on what we thought the library build should be, he pretty much ignored us and then presented us with something far beyond and nicer than we ever could have expected or imagined! You are standing in and looking at a virtual work of art from a dedicated person who can take a single plain box prim (my specialty) and work magic with it. I defy anyone to tell me that it is not “real” because it is not real brick and wood. It is real because it was made with a heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So here we are at a new beginning. This dedication actually has four parts. First and foremost this library is dedicated to the citizens of Steelhead, Harborside, Boomtown, and any expansions that the future holds. We have the start of something special here. We are building a virtual community of people from all over the world, that regardless of our national origins and differences we are finding commonalities in a very unlikely place called Second Life. When Hawc and I first joined we came because we could see the educational possibilities to teach in SL, but little dreamed that we would also be finding and becoming parts of a vast social global network where we are finding that folks in other parts of the world are not that much different than we are, with the same hopes, dreams, and fears we all share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here, we can set the fears aside and we can have hope and dream dreams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is your library. It will become what you want it to be. Without books, the world would be very poor indeed. I also urge you to support your RL libraries in your communities. Many are being forced to curtail their services because of budget problems and sometimes they even have to shut their doors. May the doors on this library never be shuttered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;STEELHEAD LIBRARY TEA MACHINIMA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Shot by Mr Xenophile Neurocam&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EY08JjJv0g0&amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EY08JjJv0g0&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;STEELHEAD WEATHER SYSTEM IN TEST PHASE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;Weather testing in Steelhead has begun under observation only.

The sim was moved to the north of the City and opened to residents on the 27th. Residents quickly put up tents, caravans, small cabins, and tiny log homes and the silliness soon ensued with dogsled races and other fun. "We had a lot of people wanting residential land in Steelhead, yet we were only one sim. Desmond (Caledon's Guvnah), as well as other people, desired growth in Steelhead so hence the reason for us growing," said manager TotalLunar Eclipse. "I forsee Steelhead becoming quite the town. I will cap Steelhead so its not so big, but in general I have nigh hopes for growth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not too late to be a Harborside resident as three 1024/six 512 lots are still available. Contact &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;TotalLunar Eclipse&lt;/span&gt; for more information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WATCH YOUR PRIMS AND LAND BORDERS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Residents are asked to please watch out for any prims extending outside of their land borders as they use the overall prim count of the sim. Also, make sure that items are set to the group as they will be returned otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FRIENDSHIPS EXTENDED TO OTHER SIMS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steelhead has extended friendships and welcomes to the sims of Deadwood and Taupo. Deadwood is a historical Wild West RP sim with strict RP rules (such as no non-humans allowed), so please be mindful of this while visiting. In the past, the medieval, magical lands of Taupo and Steelhead have exchanged flags and made jewelry gifts for one of our events and Lunar has helped them with their cloak industry. His Majesty Dennis Albion visited the Jan. 8 town meeting and has invited Steelhead residents to participate in their upcoming fashion show.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;MEQAL ON THE MEND&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Steelhead old-timers may remember resident MeQal Anna. Even though he is no longer in SL, Dr. Mason and Sheriff Ortega still communicate with him regularly through the Capper group (from where Darien invited the two over to SL in the first place). MeQal was in the hospital after having a stroke on New Year's Eve and doctors were also checking for an aneurysm. His real name and phone number to the hospital were provided so friends could check up on him. He arrived home the night of  Jan. 3 and let everyone know that he was OK except for some numbness in his right hand, trouble kicking with his right foot, and difficulty swallowing. The doctors found no aneurysm. He was told to spend the week in bed, but insisted on sitting at the computer while on the mend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also had an interesting story to tell about comparing tattoos with his nurse. But that's not fit for publication in the Anvil ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;THEATRE REBUILDING IN THE WORKS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;By popular demand, Lunar is rebuilding the theatre.

A year later, we're still weird, but Steelhead has matured. Here's a small sample of who lives here: our esteemed manager is a moon elf and our other manager makes the evil geniuses look like seventh grade science class nerds. Darien Mason has been possessed by Bloodwing, his daughter's a steam-powered android, and his son's a neko...you get the general idea. "Steampunk" just didn't cut it for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;We are recreating the Pacific Northwest, which was different at that time [the 1890s], and it also makes us &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;way&lt;/span&gt; different from any other "Western" sim. It wasn't until the Europa Consulate arrived here in Steelhead and I learned of the &lt;a href="http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/index.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Girl Genius&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; web comic that I found our perfect classification: "Gears, fantastic airships, mechanized life and Frankenstein's monsters. Journeys to the bottom of the sea and the center of the Earth, incredible thinking machines and lots of mad scientists--all with a lovely pseudo-historical flair!" This is how Phil Foglio's wife [of Girl Genius] describes "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;gaslamp fantasy&lt;/span&gt;" and we think it fits Steelhead to a T.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;NEW TOWN HALL COMPLETED&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/R1xsTwe0g2I/AAAAAAAACcU/BRpEK1ZMv7c/s1600-h/townhall+10-13_004.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/R1xsTwe0g2I/AAAAAAAACcU/BRpEK1ZMv7c/s320/townhall+10-13_004.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142103961237750626" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;TotalLunar Eclipse has finished a beautiful build for the new Steelhead Town Hall, complete with a new meeting room, managers' offices, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Anvil&lt;/span&gt; office, medical clinic, and jail...Still no word as to the jail's resident rodent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS FOR THE TREE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Citizens are being asked to create a 10 prim ornament for the tree outside the Ballroom and submit them to Lumina Elvejhem, who has also decorated the town and created a skating pond at the Gardens for us.

Welcome to Steelhead City, a gaslamp fantasy of a community nestled in the SL Oregon Territories . We're a little bit quirky and a whole lot friendly and hope that you enjoy your visit. Steelhead proudly hosts many events, dances, gunfight tournaments, and live events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steelhead City's a themed community, but RP isn't enforced, so be mindful of the occasional robots and dinosaurs roaming the streets. We welcome all walks of Second Life regardless of race, age, color, sex, religion, national origin, or species. We are hysterically accurate, influenced by old American Western, Victorian, Steampunk, and Asian cultures that fit aptly into the Oregon territories circa 1854.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although we are a mature sim, the streets are considered PG. Please conduct yourself in a mature and courteous manner while visiting as any and all illegal SL activities, griefing, and rudeness is not tolerated and will result in subsequent banning from Steelhead. Please do not leave rezzed items laying about. Pardon our dust, as many changes will be made to the city.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gunfight Alley street is combat enabled for the tournaments and personal duels. Steelhead Gun Club hosts tournaments, for information regarding please contact out Sheriff, Fuzzball Ortega. Fizzworks and the Fizzworks HUD is located at Kokopelli Plaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steelhead is a collaboration of businesses and residents. All resident houses are private and we request that you respect them accordingly. The city has many public areas, so feel free to wander the gardens, dance at the Hotel and join us for our fun Friday events at the stage starting at 7pm SLT.  The last Saturday of every month hails the formal masquerade ball at the Hotel at 7pm SLT to 9pm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While period dress is not required, some form of clothing is required and appreciated. There are many free items and clothing for your enjoyment inside the train station behind the ticket booth. Check out our many vendors that carry clothing, and other items for you to purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steelhead has several locales available for rent for private events, such as the hotel. If you have an questions regarding land, business, or location rentals or would like to be a citizen of this fine town, please IM TotalLunar Eclipse, Tensai Hilra, or Kattryn Severine for details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Steelhead is looking to expand its borders! If you would like to get on a waiting list for Steelhead Harborside please IM TotalLunar Eclipse for any questions regarding it as it is still in the planning stages and more information will be become avaliable towards the end of the year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you and once again welcome to Steelhead!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kattryn Severine, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Owner of Steelhead&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TotalLunar Eclipse, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Manager&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tensai Hilra, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Manager&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuzzball Ortega, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Steelhead Sheriff &amp;amp; DJ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1475571441840929800-8214801730353251356?l=steelheadanvil.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://steelheadanvil.blogspot.com/feeds/8214801730353251356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1475571441840929800&amp;postID=8214801730353251356' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1475571441840929800/posts/default/8214801730353251356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1475571441840929800/posts/default/8214801730353251356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://steelheadanvil.blogspot.com/2007/10/welcome-to-steelhead.html' title='WELCOME TO STEELHEAD'/><author><name>Eladrienne Laval</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06518065681305039527</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/SYoJDaResmI/AAAAAAAAIe0/T0jzKKakN_U/S220/shead+pergola+cropped.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Q8kW1pdblT8/RydzX9bHlLI/AAAAAAAAB0M/6iSfilnu298/s72-c/sh+koko_005.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1475571441840929800.post-8100491584291170022</id><published>2007-10-26T13:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-30T12:09:46.545-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shopping'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='steelhead'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='western'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wild west'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='victorian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='business'/><title type='text'>STEELHEAD'S BUSINESSES</title><content type='html'>Steelhead has many fine shopping establishments.
