OF THE WEEK

HealthTip

Soccer and lower blood pressure

A new study looked at men ages 34 to 51 who had mild to moderate hypertension who started playing one hour of recreational soccer twice a week. After six months, the par-ticipants had significant reductions in blood pressure, with 75% of the group achieving readings in the nor-mal range. Their lung function also improved, and they had lower heart rates and less body fat. More research is needed to see whether the results would apply to the gen-eral population. Experts recommend adults get 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity.

THANK YOUA BIG THANK YOU for all the businesses who helped make the USC 2013 Post Prom a huge success. After

environment for our children.

USC Post Prom Committee

THANK YOU I would like to thank my friends, relatives and neighbors for their

cards, get well wishes, gifts, visits and prayers I received before, dur-ing and after my surgery. I would like to thank Father Niehaus for

his prayers and blessings. I would like to thank my wife Mardel for all the special care she has given

me these past weeks and for being there for me.

I would like to give a special thank you to my children Michael and Melissa for their concerns and for being there during the critical time and for their family: Lisa, my grandsons, and Bryan for

their prayers and concerns during this time. Thank you again! Your prayers and acts of kindness are

very much appreciatedMark Stenzel

Memorial Day- C W Johnson

We walked among the crossesWhere our fallen soldiers lay.

And listened to the bugleAs TAPS began to play.The Chaplin led a prayer

We stood with heads bowed low.And I thought of fallen comrades

I had known so long ago.They came from every city

Across this fertile land.That we might live in freedom.They lie here 'neath the sand.

I felt a little guiltyMy sacrifice was small.I only lost a little time

But these men lost their all.Now the services are over

For this Memorial Day.To the names upon these crosses

I just want to say,Thanks for what you've givenNo one could ask for more.

May you rest with God in heavenFrom now through evermore.
