Just Sharin’ from Sharon Baptist

QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

By Ken Roller 417-232-4944 wkroller@keinet.net

Last week, I left you hanging a bit, as I wrote about the three laws of the harvest, based on the experience of every crop farmer and every gardener and on the Scripture in the New Testament book of Galatians, chapter 6, verses 7 9.

To review, the first law is that we reap what we sow. I have a friend who, years ago, gave a newcomer to town a plant that he called by some fancy botanical name. He told the fellow to take good care of it, to water it regularly, and keep it free of pests. The man followed instructions, tenderly caring for the rapidly growing "flower". Well, it turned out to be a cockle-bur!

Yes, it was exactly what

he sowed...not what he thought it was. The harvest reveals what we have sown, both in the plant world and the spiritual realm.

I read a book once entitled "Toxic Churches".

These churches seem to produce congregations that are spiteful, proud, although hypcritical, claiming to teach the Bible! You know that roots of a tree through its fruits.

The next law is that we reap later than we Ultimately, that sow. credit card debt that we accumulate which is always a bit more than we can afford becomes unmanageable. The marriage you neglect, day after day, may well wind up in the divorce court months or years later. On the good side, the friendship and love you show

to someone who is at first distant for reasons perhaps known only by God, later blossoms into an amiable and treasured relationship as you cultivate that seed of good will. As Paul writes in Galatians 6:9, "And let us not grow weary in welldoing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart."

Now, for the last law of the harvest: We reap more than we sow. "For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (Galatians 6:8) In the next few days, I will be picking fall green beans from our garden.

What if, for each bean seed I planted, I reaped only one bean. That just does not happen (I don't think). Every plant has

several pods of green beans, each containing tender seeds. Or, plant an eye or two from an old potato, and dig up a hill of them at harvest time.

That fact that we reap more than we sow is very good, if we have sowed to the spirit, or exceedingly horrible if we sow to the self-seeking flesh.

Just this week, I got a letter from a prisoner in one of our Missouri institutions. He writes, that when he was 12, his mother became strung out on drugs; he had an abusive relationship with his step-father, who then put the boy out on the streets, homeless. Following that, he admits to having made his own mistakes and bad choices.

This is an example of reaping more than you sow when the seed is bad.

"Those who sow to

the flesh, of the flesh reap corruption." Pray for this young man, whose life is in the process of being turned around through a spiritual adviser who has shared with him that God still has a wonderful plan for his life. The ultimate harvest of eternal separation from God has been changed now to a harvest of everlasting life, thanks to his spiritual rebirth.

If you sense that you have been sowing the wrong seed in your life, seek help now from someone who knows and loves the Lord. Also, get a Bible, and begin reading it, perhaps starting with the gospel of Mark or John, asking God to help you understand.

Ask Him to direct you to a church that can provide you with Biblical teaching that will nourish your soul.

moose, but still having a great time. They have had to change their trip some due to all the forest fires.

They drove most of the way and took a ferry part of the time.

LaVonne and Thad enjoyed their trip to Handbill where they planned to go into Mark Twain Cave. They enjoyed the Home and library so much they didn’t have time for the cave, so are planning another trip.

Joe and I went to Joplin shopping. I wanted to look for a new raincoat but didn’t find one I liked, and they were all too much money. I guess I will still use my old one.

It’s about 40 years old but I’m old, too.

Jerry Sullivan and I are now going to the Stockton Jail for ministry every 2 weeks. Jerry is good with the prisoners.

Joe took Charles Edwards to Springfield to get help with his back pain this week and I stayed home and cleaned house. The house can always use some cleaning. I guess Joe and are pretty dirty people or the house just gets dirty by itself.

Kim Burns, (from Stockton) is better. She is now in rehab instead of the hospital and has gotten part of her memory back.

Judy Acuna went to California for 2 weeks to see her daughter and go to the memorial service for her son that passed away. The trip was hard for her but she said she had a great time with all of her family, as she has a couple of brothers and their families out there.

Let us remember to PRAY for all those who are sick, those who have lost loved ones, those serving our country those who are in the hospital or nursing homes and those who have been in flooded areas or lost loved ones.

God Bless America.

The Good Newz Band will be in concert at King’s Point Baptist Church on Saturday, September 26th, from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Not a lot going on around the Trudell farm.

We got to feed our cow and calf. We turned them out with the neighbor’s cows so we would have another calf next year. I sure do miss feeding them every day, but now when they come around we feed some of the other cows. They used to be afraid of us. They have plenty to eat and don’t need grain, but they are easier to get up when you feed them.

Well, one of our son’s and his wife, Ed & Cheryl Wiss, are taking a long vacation to Alaska. They have seen lots of whales, and still looking for a

Lockwood Optimist Club September Days 2015 QUESTIONS? Contact Editor Marlene DeClue at 417-637-2712 or greenfieldvedettepublisher@mchsi.com

Submitted by Amanda Schnelle Photos by Cletis McConnell Vedette Reporter

On Saturday, September 12th, the Lockwood community celebrated September Days with a full day of familyfriendly activities.

The day began with the Colors of Cancer Color Run followed by the September Days parade down Main Street.

The Lockwood R-1 Kindergarten received the Spirit Award for the parade and will be celebrating with a pizza party, compliments of the Lockwood Optimist Club.

Recliner Races were a highlight of the morning with lots of entries for the inaugural event. Congratulations to winners Brady Oeltjen and Robbie Patterson!

Main Stage activities began with presentation of the flags by Boy Scout Troop #41, a prayer from Dan Scott, the emcee for the day, and singing of the national anthem by Immanuel Lutheran School 8th grader Raegan Snider.

Teacher of The Year recognitions included First Grade teacher Mrs. Jodi Graves, who was the elementary/middle school teacher of the year, and Business teacher Mrs. Kirsten Allison, named teacher of the year for the high school.

Lifetime achievement awards for teaching were presented to retired teachers Larry and Melinda Dixon. Former students spoke, and several letters were read from those not able to attend, attesting to the significant difference that the Dixons made in helping them to become excited about science or school in general. Many attribute Mr. Dixon with helping to launch their successful careers in a science-related field.

Larry and Melinda

Queen Ellen Schnelle reigns over the parade.

Dixon were also honored with serving as the Grand Marshalls of the parade.

Lockwood Firefighters retired the numbers of two of their own.

Something To Think About

by Jim Johnson

You hear the big wigs fussing about high corporate income taxes, but who do you think actually pays them? The corporations and business pay them, right?

Well, yes; but, where does their money come from? It comes from the folks that consume those corporate’s products and services. Hey! That’s us!

The corporations and businesses just add their taxes into the price of goods and services we buy; so we, you and I, pay for them. So it ends up that the consumer pays all taxes with a bunch of help from the income earners.

The income earners have this little tax called “income tax” as well as the Social Security, Medicare and other taxes.

The consumer therefore pays all the wages and all taxes associated with employment, plus any benefits. And then on top of it all are the various excise taxes.

We don’t see them, but they are there on fuels (gasoline tax), on sporting goods, on car parts, on wireless services, tobacco, beer, and it goes on and on.

If we, the worker and consumer, pay all taxes, where does the government get the money to pay for tax credits or subsidies? It gets them from us, the very same workers and consumers that pay for all the rest of the taxes.

Oh, yeah, then there is sales tax to pay on top of everything else; but you already know about that. That shiny fishing lure has an excise tax of about six percent and then we pay sales tax on top of the excise tax.

Take care now, we cannot blame the government for this mess, because, in the USA we are the government.

Taxes might drive you nuts; but, they are...

Something to think about.

Grand Champion Boy: Tufton Enyart

19-24 months, Boys: Jayden Henderson, son of Misti Young and David Henderson, Golden City; Beau Nicholas, sonof Kamey and Phil Nicholas, Liberal; Bryson Woodson, son of Amanda and Kenyon Woodson, Lockwood.

Lockwood News by Retha Jones

The Lockwood girls Tigers lost to Ash Grove Thursday night. They play in the Strafford Tournament this Saturday. Lockwood won the Homecoming game with Joplin McAuley Friday night. Congratulations to Ellen Schnelle Homecoming Queen. That’s always a big night. The Tigers go to Diamond this week.

Lockwood had a full weekend, Homecoming, September Days, and the 60’s Class Reunion. I didn’t take it in but was told September Days was a great success. Games for kids and activities for all. The chair races were lots of fun and some places ran out of food.

Those who ‘put it together’ deserves a big hand!

And the ‘ole students or

graduates’ Lockwood High School really came for the 60’s class reunion. I hear it was lots of fun. Neither of my kids were able to come.

J.L. had an event he felt like he should attend, pertaining to his work. Nancy a far piece away.

Good Shepherd Nursing Home has lost some of their long time residents. To the family of Annetta Poirot, our sympathies. Her husband, Severin, is also a resident of the home. And as we all know her as “Boots”, Lita Hudspeth passed away this week. There may be others I’m not aware of. Another resident, Madge Thompson, is quite bad in Joplin Mercy Hospital. Sue Jay is scheduled for more tests this week.

Sunday was a quiet day for me after I attended church. J.L. did call. His vertigo seems to be gone.

Karrie, my cleaning lady, was here Monday. Late afternoon, Joanne Snodgrass took me back to my hearing aid place in Mt. Vernon. My problem was ears filled with wax, affecting my hearing aid so Tuesday a trip to have ears washed out now all is well. For some reason, my ears like wax. Joanne was expecting her daughter, Patty and Doug, to arrive from Wichita that evening.

My neighbors, the Harry Charleses, recently enjoyed a vacation trip to Montana as guests of an Air Force friend. They saw and attended a number of western activities, of special in-

terest was their rodeo where his friend was and has been the announcer for many years. They enjoyed the scenery.

The Charleses have a very special dog, Holly, who family ‘baby sat’ it. While there, Holly decided she likes cats and kittens, in fact she would sleep with the kittens. To me Holly is an unusual dog.

Yes, I like dogs. In growing up I had no one to play with except me and my dog, there was Brownie and Duke.

It looks like the old greenhouse is beginning to be torn down. We neighbors will be happy.

I read this morning paper that Madge Thompson passed away. She was a

nice friend. To all our sympathies.

Congratulations to Lockwood’s new hardware store. According to pictures and what I’ve been told it is very nice. Lockwood does have businesses that are attractive and handy to get to.

Ruth Neill celebrated her birthday last Wednesday, September 16. She felt honored that many of her family wanted to celebrate with her by gathering for the evening meal at the Red Barn in Mt. Vernon. All four of her children and their spouses, along with five grandchildren, enjoyed the evening together. They were: Chuck and Karla Gregg of Springfield; Neal and Karrie Sands; Kevin, Heather, Skylar, Lakin, Kirk,

Kristin, Rylee, Makinley and Adrien Neill, all of Lockwood. Also, her husband, John Neill.

The group enjoyed visiting about current events and reminiscing about older times together. Ruth enjoyed the many nice birthday cards, gift cards and money she received. She also received countless "Happy Birthday" wishes via Facebook on her special day, "thanks" to everyone for those, also. Ruth expects to add several more years of enjoyment to the eightythree years already lived!

Note: Do unto others as though you were the others.

May you have a good week.

Kelbey and Asa Bowles went with Dustin and Melinda Jones 2 weeks ago Friday night to Aurora to Bootlegger for supper.

Dustin said it was the best steak he had eaten out in awhile.

JoGena Fowler treated Peggy Jones and Carol Jones out to Lunch at Willard a couple weeks ago. They had a good visit.

On Saturday morning, Abby, Jacob and Paisley came and visited with us. I then got around and headed to my mother’s where I meet up with sister, Lynetta and Tim Leeper and brothers, Doug and Betty Vandegrift and Darren and Sandy Vandegrift. We all met up and stopped by Lucille Franklin and headed to Bamboo Garden for lunch in honor of Mom’s 85 birthday.

On the way back, we stopped by Kelbey and Asa as they were putting the rock on their house, so we wanted to check it out.

Richard McMasters was also there checking things out.

Then back to mom’s for birthday cake and more visiting.

Doug and Betty left to go

visit her mother Florene Stapp and Darren and Sandy headed back to Oklahoma.

Then, Kim, Lesia Jones, Lynetta and Tim Leeper, Linda and Don Coble, Lucille Franklin and Betty Vandegrift all gathered at the Everton Park for the Gospel Concert put on by the Liberty Baptist Church.

The Senior Stand was opened and ran by the Senior Class of 2016. The evening got very cool and several left due to the temperature. They had a good night and this was to make money for Liberty to go on a mission trip the end of this month.

We missed Linda and Don at lunch, but their grandson, Blaine, was playing football and they won.

Mom had a great day with being with all her children all day long.

Kelbey and Asa Bowles went to Springfield on Saturday night to look for new furniture and ended up buying. My Kim said you know why they bought some, because Asa didn’t want to go back and shop again. Just like a man!!!!

On Sunday, Kelbey, Asa

and Jacob joined us for breakfast. We then attended church at Liberty. We had a retreat meeting afterward that went very well. May be some changes for next year.

Sent each lady home with something to think about.

We have have another meeting after church on Oct. 11 and bring your lunch. We will start planning for next year and maybe be voting on committee heads. So, ladie,s put on your thinking cap and be thinking and praying about what you want next year retreat to be about and what part are you willing to play in it. It is a lot of hard work, but the reward is so much greater.

After church, I stopped

by Lucille Franklin’s house as she had a rubber plant for me that I had never picked up. When I got home, I had a lot of things to do, but I was in the sewing mood.

I took a seat at my sewing machine and got to making some things for Kelbey’s new little one. Since we don’t know what she is having, it’s very neutral colors.

But that is ok. This will be such a big surprise for all of us. We just pray for a happy

and healthy delivery and baby.

On Tuesday, I took a vacation day. Up bright and early and started on my day’s project. I got three pieces of furniture, stripped, sanded and back on it’s way to a finish product.

Kim will be leaving on Friday and will be gone for three days, so you know what I will be doing. This is a zone hunt and if he wins, he will be invited to the world hunt. So I have been praying for a good hunt and that gives me another long weekend to do what I want to do.

So many that we need to pray for due to health issues, loss of a loved one. That is one thing about my early morning travel. I can pray all the way to work, for my safe arrival, for those that are sick, my family, your family, tragic situation, loss of loved ones. Pray for those I do know and those I don’t.

On Sunday evening, Dustin invited us for supper in honor of our anniversary.

We are little late, but it was around his chemo and I wanted him to be able to enjoy it. All three grandchil-

dren were there, so it made for a perfect evening.

William seems to like his new school at Carthage. He is in baseball and FFA. His class size is huge. We tease him and ask him if he knows all his classmates. NOT. Steven Garver and his wife are visiting family here in the area. They are from Germany. Steven graduated from Everton. His siblings are David Garver, Janell Graves and Tricia Coble, parents are Ray Garver of Everton and Pat Garver Greenfield Nursing Home.

Talk about a long way from home.

Chuck Myers took his brother, Rick Myers and their dad, G.D. Myers, on a 10-day trip. They ended up in Arizona to visit their baby sister, Cindy. I know they are having a great time. Kim can’t wait for him to get back so he can have his helper back.

Up bright and early for Kim to head out for his weekend Zone coon hunt.

He will be staying with one of his friends in Illinois and I believe they will be going into Indiana. If he wins here, he will get to take his dog to

the world hunt. I have my fingers crossed. That means another weekend for me.

Ha!!! He does love his dogs and hunting. He is feeling better, but not 100%, but good enough to go hunting.

You have to be pretty sick for him to not go hunting.

We are on the count down with Kelbey and Asa’s little bundle of joy. She will be having a baby shower this weekend. It will be such a joy and surprise to find out what baby Bowles is. That is the fun of it as long as it is healthy. MiMi will love it no matter if it’s a boy or girl. It just better be ready for a lot of loving/hugging and kissing, because it is going to get a lot of it. All my family can’t wait until Thanksgiving to get to hold this little one.

Ran into cousin, Kathryn Hosman, at the mall and we had a good visit about all our families. Her sister, Cheryl, continues to need our prayers as she recently lost her husband, Dean Asher. All the changes in her life can be overwhelming.

He leaves behind his wife, Marsha, which they had just celebrated their 30 anniversary in August; one daughter, Cody; 3 grandchildren & one great-grandchild. He was preceded in death by his parents, Raymond & Shirley (Richter) Chism and one brother, Larry.

I saw where former GHS graduate, Jarad Johnson, was highlighted in the Springfield Business Journal as a guest columnist on (Why We Chose Springfield). Way to go, Jarad!

Jarad is the son of Fred & Doris Johnson of Greenfield.

LaDonna Hall's cousin, Evan Todd, was hurt pretty bad in a mountain bike accident damaging both his wrists. They done a 3- hour surgery and put pins in his left thumb and put a plate & screws in his right wrist.

The firemen will be fixing brauts, burgers and all the fixings.

We will gather at 6:30 p.m. We hope you will come and visit with your neighbors and car owners.

This will be the last Cruise In for this season.

Hope to see you there.

mentioned my Aunt Carol Myers fell and I guess Aunt Carol Jones got a lot of calls but it was Uncle Bob Myers wife, Carol Fa, who fell. She went to the doctor on Monday and they said we done an excellent job with our super glue and her head looked great.

Congratulations to new parents: Tyler Jones & Grace Wilhite on the arrival of a baby girl, River Cheyenne, who arrived on September 5, 2015. River tipped the scales at 6 lb, 6 oz and was 19.25 inches long. She was born in Tioga, North Dakota, where Tyler was working. Grandpa Steve Jones went up this past weekend to help them move to Casper, Wyoming, where Tyler will be working now. Great-grandmother is Jean Jones of Greenfield.

Last update I had on Angie Brown was she had been moved back to rehab & the therapist were impressed with how she was coming along. It’s just going to be a slow process.

Last Monday night, Mom & I went to the Walnut Grove girls softball game to watch granddaughter, Aspen White, play. They were playing Fair Play and I got to visit with Arley & Stella Mabee who was there watching granddaughter, Miranda, play for Fair Play. We had a good visit.

The graveside service

Her two sons & one daughter, Robin, all flew in for a few days to visit with Carrie & Bonnie. By the time you read this, Bonnie's surprise 80th birthday party will have taken place. Will report on it next week.

Was sorry to see where Annetta Poirot, 90, of Golden City passed away on Saturday September 12, 2015.

Also, Boots Hudspeth, 88, of Lockwood passed away. I took care of both these lovely ladies when I worked at the Lockwood Nursing Home.

Annetta was a very good artist and always very sweet to us girls.

Boots use to work for Russell Abstract when I worked at the courthouse and we all loved her. Boots leaves behind one son, Troy & one daughter, Linda & their families along with 2 sister in-laws, Daythel Anderson & Frances Hudspeth. Both these ladies will be dearly missed by their families.

Friday night, I attended the Greenfield football game against Appleton City.

The Wildcats had another good game winning, 68-44.

I was happy to get to visit with Mike & Jamie Oberly of Appleton City and got to see their daughter’s, Meghan, wedding pictures that we attended a while back. Her pictures were very good and she was a

beautiful bride. Both their boys, Wyatt & Cody, played against us.

I thought some of you would be interested to know that Ryan Eisensee, 23, of Marionville passed away September 8, 2015.

Ryan was the son of former Greenfield residents, Joe & Stella "Austin" Eisensee.

Stella was a 1980 GHS graduate.

Also got word that former Greenfield resident Jack L Simmons, 68, of Indianapolis passed away. Jack was the son of Robert K & Birdie Simmons of Greenfield who preceded him in death. He leaves behind his wife of 44 years, Kyle, a daughter, Shannon & one son, Scott and families. Also two brothers, Robert A and Ronald N Simmons.

Received word over the weekend that a 1969 GHS graduate Charles (Chuck) Hull, 64, passed away on September 15, 2015. Couldn't find an obit on him except he was living in the Monett area. I hope my info was correct and if you ever read a mistake in my column, don't hesitate to let me know so I can correct it.

I want to extend sympathy to all those who have lost loved ones.

Saturday morning, Pat Killingsworth, Dawn Toler & Rick Baker took advantage of the beautiful cool morning and rode their horses down on the lake.

Wasn't it a beautiful weekend.

Saturday, little Miss Lucy Hawkins came down and spent the night with Granny & PaPa Baker. Her parents, Colt & Alex, were having an engagement party in Springfield. She loved riding Papa Rick's horse and taking rides with Papa on the 4-wheeler. I think our neighbors, Paul & Cheri Walters, were also babysitting their grand kids for the same reason. Next time, we will have to get them together.

Former Greenfield teacher, Sharla school Beuerlein & her husband, just got back from a wonderful 27 day and 4500 mile trip out to the western states. It sounded like they had a blast. Glad to hear they are enjoying their retirement.

Chuck Myers just got back from taking his dad, GD & brother, Rick Myers, on a wonderful 7- day road trip out west. Haven't got all the details yet but I know they stopped in Arizona and stayed 2 nights with their sister, Cindy. G.D. said it was a wonderful trip.

I want to extend sympathy to Jeanie Steeley who got word her mother lost her battle with lung cancer at 4:20 am Monday morning. She had been diagnosed 4 months ago.

Everyone have a great week!

Over a period of time, complacency has a way of taking over in our lives and we can start taking incredible things that we have for granted.

After the newness of something wears off, we just see it as always going to be there for us. The big jolt comes when someone from outside takes notice and reminds us of what we truly have.

Personally, I would like to thank our community, first here in Dade County and second on a broader level to include our Southwest Missouri area.

Shortly after our newspaper article was published last month, we received a call from a community member, Mr. Dale Jennings, who generously donated a stationary recumbent bicycle, a Gazelle cross trainer and a set of ten pound weights to our Wellness Center.

On the heels of that

donation, came a call from Academy Sports in Springfield informing us that they had chosen us to donate a $50.00 gift card for our staff Wellness Center drawing that we will be having in December.

A few days later we received notification from the Ronald McDonald House that our Wellness Center had made their Love Letter List that they publish yearly for folks who donate time, talent or treasure to them over the past twelve months.

We were included due to our item drive we held last November as a way of giving back to the community.

Last, but not least, we would like to thank Marlene and staff over at the Vedette office for publishing our monthly articles – you all are the best!

We are all very thankful to have such wonderful people to work with as we start another year here trying to make a dif-

ference. Having the community acknowledge our attempts at wellness should foster a sense of pride for each and every

employee here at Greenfield. Folks believe in us – let’s show them what we can do!

Because of the pain OA causes, many people with the condition often find themselves no longer willing or able to do some of the activities they once engaged in.

They may begin to live sedentary lives to avoid pain. But, a study conducted by the Ottawa Panel shows that leading a sedentary lifestyle may be the worst thing a person with OA can do for their pain.

The Ottawa Panel reviewed 26 studies involving OA patients and

various forms of exercise therapy to determine whether or not exercise is an effective treatment for the condition. Their goal was to develop a set of guidelines that healthcare professionals could use to help make decisions about the most effective course of treatment for their patients.

The 26 studies included in the review involved adult patients over the age of 18 who had been diagnosed with OA. Two kinds of exer-

cise were analyzed for their effectiveness: • Strengthening Exercises • Whole-Body/Aerobic Exercise The results of the study showed that both types of exercise offered enormous benefits for OA patients. After just eight weeks of participating in a therapeutic exercise program, patients had less pain when performing activities like walking, climbing stairs, and getting up and down from the floor. The inten-

sity of their pain decreased as well.

In addition, there was some evidence to suggest that manual therapy in combination with physical exercise helped improve pain levels and function among OA patients. One of the most important factors in how effective an exercise therapy program is for OA patients is their ability and willingness to follow through with the therapy. Moving away from a sedentary lifestyle sometimes requires a

major lifestyle shift.

These Results Can't Be Ignored If you suffer from OA, an individualized exercise program that you're comfortable with and that fits into your lifestyle is crucial to effective pain management. An experienced physical therapist, along with hands-on/manual therapy, will help you manage your pain and improve your quality of life.

When presenting her farm program, audience members hear stories of her farm animals and songs about gardening, cutting wood, auctions, milking cows, and buying expensive equipment which strikes a chord with anyone who has ever experienced rural living.

Attendees will be treated to a full meal pro-

vided by Maggie Mae's Catering from Miller.

Bowen will also conduct a live auction featuring two Yeti coolers, various gift certificates and special opportunities donated by specialists working in Greene County. A complete list of items in the auction is posted on the Greene County Extension website. All proceeds from the event will benefit Greene County Extension.

This event is made possible by these sponsors: KOLR/KOZL, Old Missouri Bank, Greene County Soil and Water Conservation District, CoxHealth, Race Brothers Farm Supply and PFI Western Wear. Old Missouri Bank is our named sponsor for the meal.

Advance tickets are required and cost $25 per person.

Study Proves People with Osteoarthritis Benefit from Exercise Therapy Submitted by Dade County Nursing Home

Osteoarthritis (OA) is becoming more common among the American and Canadian populations. In fact, it is projected that OA cases in the U.S. will increase from 43 million in 1997 to 60 million in 2020. OA is a debilitating disease that has a significant impact on the quality of life of those who suffer from it. And, it is the cause of millions of dollars in medical costs and lost labor costs each year.
