− | THE RESTORATION OF [[Bedford Manor|BEDFORD MANOR]] | + | '''THE RESTORATION OF [[Bedford Manor|BEDFORD MANOR]]''' |
<br />As recently reported in ''[[Forrest City Post|The Forrest City Post]]'', a secretive new owner purchased [[Bedford Manor]] on [[Savage Island]] and began the process of restoring the infamous museum several months ago after the house had lain vacant for many decades. No one associated with the project has been willing to discuss it with the press, but one confidential source did provide four photographs of some of the completed restoration work with the Manor House. Although the authenticity of these photographs has not been independently confirmed, a historian consulted by the ''Post'' did indicate that the photographs appear to conform to the known layout and design of the mansion as first conceived by [[Nathaniel Bedford]]. | <br />As recently reported in ''[[Forrest City Post|The Forrest City Post]]'', a secretive new owner purchased [[Bedford Manor]] on [[Savage Island]] and began the process of restoring the infamous museum several months ago after the house had lain vacant for many decades.

+ | '''STRANGE DEVICES FOUND''' | ||
+ | <br />A hiker found a strange device in the hills overlooking [[Forrest City]]. After the picture was posted on social media, other residents posted photos of similar devices they discovered around the city. The [[Forrest City Post]] has tried without success to determine who owns the devices. They do not emit signals in any known frequency. Rather, they appear to be some type of receiver or detector. | ||

+ | '''NEW EXHIBITION AT LANCASTER MUSEUM''' | ||
+ | <br />A new permanent exhibition called [[Mysteries of the Ancients]] opened at [[the Lancaster Museum]] in [[downtown]] [[Forrest City]]. The exhibit features archaeological myths and folklore that were dismissed as fantasies by the scientific community until proven accurate years later. The city of Troy from Homer's Iliad is one example. Homer based the Iliad on stories he was told as a child. Until the late nineteenth century, scholars dismissed Troy as a mythical city, a figment of Homer's imagination. But in 1871, the German explorer Heinrich Schliemann followed the geographical clues contained in the Iliad and discovered the remain of the city of Troy in western Turkey, exactly where Homer had said it was. Other examples included in the exhibit are the Minoan civilization, Egyptian knowledge of higher mathematics, and Mayan knowledge of astronomy. | ||

+ | '''[[The Lost City|A LOST MAYAN CITY]]''' | ||
+ | <br />Jungles possess a certain mystique, one that captivates and terrifies us all at the same time. Perhaps it's because they're so good at keeping secrets. In southern and eastern Mexico, they've gotten especially good at hiding the ancient cities of the once majestic Mayan civilization. A team of academics and explorers from [[Forrest City]] will brave the jungles of Mexico when they embark on an expedition in search of a lost Mayan city. Dr. [[David Denton]], Professor of Archeology at [[Drake University]], has been studying what remains of Mayan writings and Spanish records of the Mayan civilization. He believes a large Mayan city still lies undiscovered in the tropical rain forest of the Yucatan Peninsula. Denton studied high resolution satellite images of the area where be believed the lost city was likely located. Denton believes the results of his analysis are conclusive: the jungle-choked remains of Mayan temples and pyramids in this lost city await discovery. The expedition is expected to begin in 2017. | ||
+ | |||
+ | '''CEMETERY RENOVATIONS''' | ||
+ | <br />Extensive renovations have been underway at the [[Forrest City Cemetery]] this year. The work has been undertaken in phases by [[Gaveas General Contractors]]. Already completed renovations include dreading and restoration work at the reflection pond, upgrades to the welcome center, resurfacing of the roadways within the cemetery grounds, and rehabilitation of the cemetery chapel which has undergone some settling of its foundation over past decades. | ||
