COUNTY LIFE
Back health program comes to Bowie Saturday
When your back is healthy, you hardly ever notice it. But at the first twinge of pain, you realize just how important your spine is to carrying out everyday activities. Walking, lifting, playing sports, even sitting at the dinner table may feel excruciating.
“Eight out of 10 people will experience back pain at some point during their lives,” explains Brandon Ohman, MD, a sports medicine and non-operative orthopedic specialist at United Regional Physician Group. “For some, the pain lasts several days or weeks. If it persists for more than three months, it’s considered a chronic condition. No matter what type of back pain you have, one thing’s for sure: It takes a toll on your quality of life.”
On June 16, take advantage of the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Community Health Event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bowie High School Cafeteria. You will have the opportunity to hear from Dr. Ohman, as well as several other physicians and health professionals, and have the opportunity to speak with them about your condition or concerns.

Do you have unwanted computer components such a desktop computers, laptop computers, LCD monitors, keyboards, mice, scanners, printers, battery back-up units, etc., that you don’t know how to dispose of properly?
If so, members of the Montague Emergency Communications Team can help as they host the annual Computer Recycling Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 19 at the Bowie City Hall parking lot at the corner of Mason and Pecan.
The team will recycle your unwanted computer components and insure they are disposed of properly, in an environmentally friendly manner. It is the perfect time to clean out that closet of nonworking or old electronics at your house.
They also will insure any computer hard drives are destroyed, thus preventing anyone from gaining access to personal information which may be left in the memory.
They also can accept sealed lead acid (SLA), nickel cadmium (NiCad), nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries for recycling. They cannot accept computer monitors or TV with cathod ray tubes.
This is a public service being offered at no cost to the community.
Any proceeds will benefit the Team and the Montague County SKYWARN program.

Bowie High School’s one-act play is just one step away from the state University Interscholastic League contest after it placed first in the area round on April 12.
The BHS play, “View From The Bridge,” will now move to regionals at Clyde Huff Pac in Clyde on April 23. The play is expected to perform at 2 p.m.
“We placed first in this round, and all the plays were phenomenal,” said Director April Word.
