Brain stretchers

Posted Jan 26, 2012 @ 11:12 AM

“If someone is prone to Alzheimer’s, they’re going to nosedive no matter what,” said Theresa Best, a therapist at the Golden Living Center in Franklin. “However, if you catch it in the early stages, the chances of the nosedive go down, and you can keep the quality of life for as long as possible.”

One of the most important ways to keep your mind active in the future is to start today. A 2003 study showed that seniors who did the most mental activities were 63 percent less likely to develop dementia, compared to those who did the least.

To help area seniors, in October 2010 Best and therapist Laura Leighty started a new program at the Golden Living Center — Brain Stretchers.
Damaged by storm, Vesta repairs church

Posted Jan 26, 2012 @ 07:56 AM

A new face (sort of) at Baune’s Cafe

Posted Jan 26, 2012 @ 07:01 AM

Patrons of Baune's Cafe in Wabasso have been noticing a new face. Well...sort of new.

Brian Baune, son of Butch and Phyllis Baune, has returned to Wabasso to help his family run the local landmark eatery.

Brian, a 1983 graduate of Wabasso High School, worked in the cafe for the first years it was open. His parents started the cafe, building it from the ashes of Bob Hoffbeck’s auto body shop.

“Why we opened it was simple,” Butch said. “We had eight kids, and they all had to have a job.

“And they got one. Whether they wanted to work or not.”
