See wivb.com The 13th Annual Polar Bear Swim, in Silver Creek, took place this past weekend. The brave participants braved the chilly temperatures Sunday for a dip in Lake Erie. The swim raises money for the Variety Kids Telethon, the Silver Creek Food Pantry, and local fire departments in Silver Creek and Sunset Bay. Even though we’ve had a big warm-up since last week, it was still pretty cold out there. Swimmer Adam Steck said, “My legs got numb like halfway in. We were in there for 30 seconds, my legs got numb but it was worth it.”

Pyramiden is a ghost town on Svalbard (Norway), way north in the Atlantic Ocean, named after the nearby, pyramid-shaped mountain. A former Russian settlement and coal mining community, it was abandoned apparently in a hurry in 1998, leaving behind stuff like a “Red October” grand piano in the cultural centre auditorium, and an empty swimming pool with lane ropes still attached.
