During this period of intense work his mental-health issues grow worse. The other section of the film features an older Wilson as he attempts to escape the influence of a manipulative doctor who has become a totalitarian guru to him.

NewsRESIDENT PROFILE
Randy was born in Mohall, North Dakota and moved to Washington State as an in-fant. April was born in Chate-auroux, France and her parents were trans-ferred back to
the United States when she was an infant due to her fathers military career. After moving several times, her family settled in Federal Way, Washington.
Randy and April grew up 2.5 miles from each other, with many of the same friends but didnt meet until high school. They married in 1977 and lived in Fed-eral Way, Washington for the first 10-years of mar-riage, then moved to Puyallup, Washington and raised their two sons, Rob and Karl. Randy had a wonderful 34-year career with the Boeing Company employed as a precision tool grinder making cutting tools to manu-facture airplane parts, the last 12 years he worked as a QA inspector. Aprils 28-year career included work for the school district(s) in the transportation depart-ment. She started as a part-time school bus driver, then eventually was a dispatcher, and trained and supervised a staff of 130 transportation employees for the Auburn School District.
Randy and April love to travel and have been on some amazing trips in the United States as well as to Mexico, Japan, France, Italy, and Spain. This last year they had the most life changing experience while spending three-weeks in the Philippines. During their many travels, a trip to the Grand Canyon helped them realize a love for the Arizona warmth, so they returned four additional times planning to be snow birds in the future. As retire-ment neared, their plans to be snow birds changed to full-time living. It also helped that their two sons and families with two adorable granddaughters moved to San Diego, California and would be nearby. On May 21, 2013 they packed the car and trailer and made the big move to Arizona. Now living here full-time, Randy and April enjoy every-thing about Arizona, especially their new community of Sun City Festival. They currently travel two weeks a month to San Diego, California to babysit their 17-month old and 4-year old granddaughters. When not in California babysitting, Randy plays on the Festi-val Softball Club, they ride their motorcycles, bicycles, and take advantage of the amazing amenities of the Sage Center pool and fitness center. Most of all, they enjoy meeting all of their new neighbors and making friends.
They look forward to a lifetime of creating wonderful memories and experiences here in their new hometown.

People in the United States spend approximately $130 billion on arthritis treatments each year. Because arthritis is so common, its no wonder we have a plethora of available treatments both effective and ineffective.
A crucial thing to do is get a correct diagnosis. Some illnesses, like gout, can have arthritis-like symptoms. Additionally, the diagnosis needs to determine the correct type of arthritis. This will always determine correct and effective treatment. Rheumatoid, virus-caused, or any of the 100 other types of arthritis, need to be treated correctly.
The right food choices can also make a difference. Some foods help fight inflammation (local and systemic), a problem common with arthritis. And, keeping food intake appropriate will also help maintain healthy body weight, thus minimizing stress on joints. Lean meats and fish, plenty of fresh vegetables and a lot of omega-3 fatty acids are the best choices to help with arthritis treatment.
Exercise is also some of the best medicine for arthritis. Inactivity can simply lead to additional joint deteriora-tion. Low-impact, range-of-motion exercise such as tai chi, aqua aerobics, yoga and cycling are perfect for achy joints. These exercises stimulate circulation, strengthen muscles used to stabilize joints, and loosen tight, sore muscles.
At the first sign of chronic joint pain, many people reach for the glucosamine supplements. This may not be the cure it is believed to be. Glucosamine is a compound naturally occurring in the joints and surrounding cartilage.
The pill is believed to help to rebuild joints. This treatment may provide some short-term pain relief when injected into the joint. Pill form typically provides little help.
We spend more money treating arthritis than we do cancer. Money that is well spent means getting an accurate diagnosis and getting effective treat-ments. Not everything believed to provide help with arthritis can actually make a difference. Visit www.arthritis.org to learn more about symptoms and treatment of arthritis.

Why Over-Seed?Each October we close the course for three weeks to accom-plish Over-Seeding. Why would we want to close the course for three weeks just as the weather is getting nice and the course is in great shape?
The reason is to provide our golfers with a better playing surface and green grass during the cool winter months. If we dont go through the Over-Seed process, our Bermuda base turf becomes yellowish/brown after the first frost of the year. The Bermuda grass actually goes dormant during the cooler winter months. For this reason, we Over-Seed with Rye grass, which is a cool season grass that is able to grow in the winter months.
The process begins by cutting the Bermuda grass short, a process called scalping, and reducing the water supply, thus forcing the Bermuda grass into a state of dormancy.
We then seed the course with Rye grass and turn the wa-ter back on to germinate the Rye seed. Rye grass requires constant moisture until it germinates and matures. October temperatures are ideal for this process and keeps the Ber-muda grass dormant.
We hope this helps answer the question of Why Over-Seed? and we appreciate your patience during this process.
Player Development Clinic
As part of our Get Golf Ready Program, we will be offering a Player Development Clinic on Monday, October 26 from 11 am - 12:30 pm. We will have both full swing and short game stations set up with emphasis on the basic fundamentals of each area. This clinic is limited to the first 20 participants and the cost is just $20.
