Raymond Carr completed a coast to coast trip in a 1902 Northern open air car from San Diego to Jekyll Island, Georgia in 24 days at about 100 miles daily. The one cylinder five horsepower vehicle averages 25 mph, with only light rain interrupting the journey.
Carr, 69, of Chester Springs Pa, described a smooth journey aided by luck and an imagined angel. He recalled honking cars, school buses, trains and neighbors waving from lawns as he traveled, ending with him emptying a small flask.
Carr and Mike Wyka journeyed a Northern car across the Pacific to the Atlantic near Florida. The rare 11th vehicle of its kind, acquired in 1986 and restored, drew praise as Carr said the trip was the time of his life and he never bored.
Victoria Cascino, lifestyle reporter for The News, recounts discovering bodybuilders’ world through photos and interviews. She shifts from aerobics to weightlifting, learns to cope with intimidation, and ends inspired to balance her routine with new strength and enjoyment.
Jeff and Brian Smiley credit their father Harry Alkie Smiley for instilling discipline through hard weightlifting. Their youth rides became lessons in strength as he led them in pushups on his back, inspiring both to pursue bodybuilding. Now adults, they train six nights weekly at Nu-Bodies Fitness Center on New Butler Road, focusing on body and health.
