LAGUINDINGAN Coinciding with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA)s declaration of the month of May as Heritage Month, May 15, 2014 marked the date of the opening of Misamis Orientals latest ecotourism attraction Oyster Hill which is located in Lapad, Laguindingan town in Misamis Oriental.

While visitors can enjoy the sites clean, fresh air in the hills landscape, nothing could be more beautiful than the seemingly unassuming pieces of limestone at the base of a hill, Oyster Hills fossilized oyster colony.

What makes it special is preserving the colony of fossilized oysters as a natural heritage.

Like all great inventions and discoveries, it was discovered by accident, shares Engr. Raul B. Ilogon.

Fossils were first discovered in 1993 by Raul while he had been clearing the land to plant mango trees. Unfortunately, tourism and environmental awareness had still been in its developing stage and the family had at that time been unaware that they had stumbled upon pre-historic treasures, so many of the fossils and giant clams had been used as decorative items at their family restaurant. Emano, in his speech, thanked the family for this contribution to the province. He also shares that while he has personal interest in this natural heritage and furthered that the province is luck to have it readily available unlike in foreign countries where they pay for archaeologists to dig and find fossils.

Emano is optimistic that despite looming difficulty to sell it as a new eco-tourism destination, it would pay off in the future.

SPRINGFIELD, KY (WAVE) Have you traveled around the Commonwealth lately? If so, you may have noticed horse country has taken on a fresh face.

Built in 1848, Maple Hill Manor has more to offer than their critically acclaimed breakfast and well appointed guestrooms. The picturesque landscape comes with an interactive feature.

"Guests enjoy strolling the grounds and interacting with the alpacas," Maple Hill Manor co-owner Todd Allen said.

[SLIDESHOW: These photos of Alpacas will make you smile]

Allen grew up on a dairy farm but turned his attention to alpacas after seeing them at the Kentucky State Fair. He began researching alpaca farms in other states and became one of the first 10 alpaca farm owners in Kentucky in the 90's. Now Allen and his business partner breed, show and sell alpacas.

Loved for their beautiful soft coats with high luster, their luxurious fiber is sheered once a year and turned into everything from sweaters to toy alpacas.

Llamas are used at Maple Hill Manor as guards, protecting the herd of 36 suri alpacas from coyotes.

[SLIDESHOW: Scarves, socks and stuffed animals all made from alpaca fleece]

After all, more than livestock and livelihood all 36 of them are pets with names like Chauncey and Brimstone.

Visitors are drawn to the oversized eyes, diverse colors and gentle dispositions.

Topics: flooding, laidley, land swap, lockyer valley regional council

A LAND swap at Laidley is one of the next flood mitigation programs the Lockyer Valley council is seeking funding for.

With the Grantham land swap full, and declared a massive success, the council is looking to move more flood-vulnerable people out of the danger zone.

Lockyer Valley Mayor Steve Jones said the land swap at Grantham had been so successful, not everyone who wanted to swap their properties was able to.

"A lot of the people left on the list are from Laidley from the 2013 flood," he said.

"With a lot of them being from Laidley, it makes sense to find an area there to do another land swap."

Cr Jones said unlike the Grantham swap, which saw about 100 blocks moved onto higher ground, a swap at Laidley would only affect about 12 blocks.

"We've looked at the land we own and the land the government owns," he said.

"We'd obviously prefer to do it on land we own, but it needs to be in one area."

The planned swap isn't the only flood project the council is still working on. It is also applying for funding to clear out the creeks around Forest Hill.

As a 2006 graduate of Forest Lake High School, Luke Odegaard knew the district's facilities needed to be upgraded.

But it wasn't until the lifelong Forest Lake resident joined a school facilities task force in 2012 and toured every school that he realized the extent of the need for repairs and routine maintenance.

"That motivated me to do something more," said Odegaard, who leads Vote Yes for Kids, which is supporting Forest Lake Area Schools' $176 million capital levy request. "These are old buildings, and they need to be renovated and brought into the 21st century."

District residents vote on the request Tuesday.

If approved, the levy money will be used to fix aging roofs, update heating and cooling systems, and increase security at school buildings, and for other projects.

It also would allow for creating a campus for middle- and high-schoolers by moving ninth-graders into the high school and putting all seventh- and eighth-graders into one junior high school. School leaders say that setup would be more efficient and give secondary students more academic options.

Superintendent Linda Madsen acknowledges the amount of the tax request is "considerable" but adds that the amount was determined after input from parents, students and district staff who made up the facilities task force. District voters last approved a capital levy in 1999; they rejected a smaller tax request in 2010.

If approved, the levy would cost the owner of a $200,000 home about $200 a year, but that amount would rise because the district plans to borrow money for projects in stages. In a decade, the levy would cost $332 a year for the owner of a $200,000 home, said Larry Martini, the district's director of business services.

District leaders have spent the months leading up to the vote meeting with community members and compiling information about the proposed projects to post on the district website. Odegaard and Madsen say the community response has been generally positive.

"I think people cannot deny there are some things in the district that need attention," Madsen said.
