In a recent Blog post, Dr. Allen Power, MD, tells the following story. (Dr. Power is an Eden Mentor at St. John's Home in Rochester, N.Y., and Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Rochester.)
One consequence of opening a new living space like our Green Houses is that it lays bare some aspects of institutional care that never occurred to me before. This seems to happen with regularity these days. Here's a story.
Frank V. Evilsizer, Jr., of Ada died at 3:31 a.m. July 1, 2012 at Bluffton Hospital. He was born Oct. 9, 1987 in Lima to Frank and Sandy Dunifon Evilsizer Sr. and they survive near Ada. He was married to Kaitlin Gossard and she survives.
Evilsizer was an avid outdoorsman and loved to fish and hunt. He was a member of the Bluffton and Hog Creek Sportsmen's Clubs. He was also a Michigan football fan.
BFR's annual benefit 5K race is Saturday, Sept. 1, according to Carole Enneking, direcor.
The race/walk begins at BFR and its course travels through the streets of
Bluffton and around the Buckeye Park. First-time 5K participants are
recognized with special ribbons at the end of the race.
A 1 Mile Fun Run is included. For those looking for a harder workout, the Pump and Run Challenge adds a bench press component prior to the run. Cost for the 5K is $15, and $10 for the Fun Run.
Nothing - not high winds, rain or 100 degree temperatures - can keep Bluffton from having a good old Fourth of July-style fireworks. Although this year's Freedom Fest was partially cancelled, the fireworks went on. Here's a sample. Click here for a video.
