CROSSING BORDERS
Learn how procedures for crossing the U.S. border will change on this week’s edition of Studio One.

Currently birth certificates and passports are the major documents needed to cross U.S. borders. Yet in June 2009 passports, passport cards, and enhanced drivers licenses will be the only accepted documents. Learn why these items will make border crossings easier.

CURLING
Also on the show this week, young and old have participated in the sport of curling since the 1500s. For a beginner, learning to curl happens in stages. Find out what it takes to play this entertaining sport.
