Forty Years
During the summer of 2009, we attended my forty year class re-union. Manhattan Christian High School, Manhattan,
Montana, 1969. We had 32 students in our class. Three have died. About half the remaining kids showed up for the dinner. It
really was a nice time. But there really was not enough time to sit and talk with each person there.
I made several interesting observations. Many of us look so much like our parents. A few have hardly changed at all in
appearance. Voices do not change much. There were several that I would not have recognized by sight, but their voices gave
them away.
In forty years some have developed a few health problems. One friend has severe degenerative arthritis in both knees.
Too many miles and too many injuries to the knees. Soon he will need joint replacements. Too late for him, but many others
could still benefit from supplements at the onset of symptoms. When the joints begin to hurt, taking Chondritin, Glucosamine,
and MSM (get it all in one capsule) with some Omega3 Oil (fish or flaxseed oil) 2000 mg 1-2 times a day will give you all the
ingredients needed to repair the damaged cartilage. This will prevent the worn out knees before sixty.
A few people have lived in the same homes that they were born in. We can use this situation as a model for cleansing. Most
of us have never done any internal cleansing of our bodies. Why? We have never been taught to do this. Sure, our parents
taught us to bath, shower and clean up the outside of our body. We keep our living spaces nice and clean. But, what about
the garage, the basement and that spare room? Maybe there is accumulated junk in our liver, bowel, body fat, kidneys,
spleen, brain as well. Maybe it is like my mother’s house. When she passed away, my siblings removed several dumpsters full of

Change
for the better.

Since 1972, NCCS (Newaygo County Community Services) has been motivated by a firm commitment to restore,
reshape and enrich lives throughout the communities we serve. We’re still rooted in Newaygo County, but our service
area has grown to harness the benefits of regional collaborations. So after careful consideration, NCCS is moving
forward as TrueNorth Community Services. We chose this name because it accurately reflects the spirit and strength
of our organization. Join us in embracing a new identity that expresses our dedication to making a lasting difference
in people’s lives as we help them find their own “true north.” truenorthservices.org

NCCS is now
community services
Improving lives for a lifetime.
