Last Friday, I went to Crestview Farm in Harvard to interview Tracey Scott and Annie Logan of the Center for Integrated Veterinary Sports Medicine. I’m doing an article about the center for McHenry County Living. I won’t go into too much detail here, but I will tell you that Tracey and Annie’s approach to healing horses is very much like the yogi’s approach to healing-do what is right for the individuals body, find the problem and treat it instead of treating the symptoms and think long term rather than rushing the body into performance it’s not ready for. Here are some shots from the facility. I will post the final article when it comes out.

After taking a trip to Von Bergen’s Country Market just outside Hebron, I decided to take a stroll along Main St. (aka Rt. 47). Here is what I saw:

McHenry County Living

August 8, 2008

I began working at Prairie Ridge Media about a year ago. As a new graduate, they were reluctant to take me on. However, I knew that I would be a great addition to this small company looking to launch a new publication in the county I grew up in. After showing the publishers my college project, FreshLIFE, a green living magazine prototype, they eagerly hired me as managing editor.

As managing editor, I am in charge of the editorial department of the magazine. I write, edit and assign stories, work with photographers, handle ad materials and develop future issues. I wrote the editorial philosophy of the publication and ensure we live up to the reputation we have made for ourselves. Check out McHenry County Living for yourself.

In addition to McHenry County Living, we are looking to launch a new magazine, McHenry County Athlete. This publication will focus on athletics in the county, mostly high school and community college.
