RHS Marching Band Performs At Disney World By Diane Krizek Editor About 70 students, teachers and parents left the grounds of Raytown High School on Sunday morning, December 28, 2014, in two Arrow Stage chartered buses headed for Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. After spending three full days in the various Walt Disney World Parks, the Raytown High School Bluejay Pride Marching Band will perform in the Disney Magic Music Days Parade on New Year’s in the Magic Kingdom! Director of Bands, Joe Hill, applied to the Disney Performing Arts Series for the honor a year ago. Meeting all their criteria and sending a video of the marching band’s performances paid off. “This is a fantastic opportu-

After three days of fun in the Disney parks, the band will kick back into performance mode by warming up at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday morning, New Year’s Day, for the parade that begins at 11:30 a.m. They have spent many dedicated hours perfect-

best behavior – or else. After traveling 24 hours straight through to Orlando, the first planned stop is Epcot Center where the group will spend nine hours. The next two days are planned for Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. The students were given

ing their routines for this day in the spotlight. To finance this trip, the band students have worked with RHS Band Boosters in numerous fundraising projects from poinsettia, cookies and garage sales to car washes to sacking groceries for tips. They’ve even written letters to potential sponsors and donors. The RHS Band Department’s believes opportunities like this trip not only give Raytown High School and the Band Department representation but also provide students a greater understanding of our world through travel and education, and rewards them for their commitment to the Raytown High School band program. Next week, we hope to be able to share some photos of their trip.

Labor Data Shows November Employment Spike In KC By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com We just had to share this happy chart that we generated while preparing our Regional Workforce Intelligence Network newsletter for next
week. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Kansas City enjoyed a nice employment spike in November, bringing the seasonally adjusted employment to over 1,020,000. This gets us very close to — but not quite even
with — our pre-recession employment peak of 1,025,400 back in April 2008. Just another piece of good economic news as we head into 2015!

Charter Commission Presents Charter For Public Review About a dozen concerned citizens showed up at the Raytown Charter Commission meeting that convened on December 29, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station #1. During the first 50 minutes of the meeting, the Commission addressed the citizen’s concerns that stemmed primarily from published misinformation about the charter draft and frustration in not knowing what the commission had produced to date. They were also concerned that the final draft would not be made available for public review prior to the filing deadline of January 21, 2015. These citizens clear-
ly wanted the opportunity to influence changes to the charter draft prior to the deadline and were concerned that the dates and times of Commission meetings had not been publicized to their satisfaction. The citizens were apparently content with the answers they received because they chose not to stay for the meeting that followed to observe the Commission in action. This week for the first time, the Commission produced a complete charter draft document which is now available on its website at https:// sites.google.com/site/raytowncharter/ For the record, the Raytown-Brooking Eagle
published on May 2, 2014, that the Commission voted to meet on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall and on June 28, reported that the Charter Commission had a website and that the public could find videos of the meetings on the City of Raytown’s YouTube account. The Eagle then left it to the public’s discretion to follow up with the Commission’s progress on the website that includes rules of order, commissioner’s contact information, meeting minutes and dates, the budget and links to the meeting videos. Raytown citizens have had every oppor-
tunity to be a part of the process. Even though the meeting dates and times were not always publicized, anybody could get that information with a phone call to City Hall or to this newspaper. Given the contentious history of the 2005 Charter Commission, the Eagle chose not to wear out its readers with the debating of issues between the current commissioners who are the most politically diverse group ever assembled to such a task in Raytown. The commissioners could not be further burdened with the task of defending themselves against public misunderstanding, misinformation and prejudicial bias. In our opinion, their
consensus – to what they could all agree – would be much more important than the process of how they got there. The City of Raytown provided $10,000 to the Commission to get the job done and has spent only $5100 to date. They paid $100 to have the Missouri Municipal League based in Jefferson City come in and conduct a presentation on the guidelines and principals of creating a Missouri charter. The Charter Commission has recently engaged the legal services of Allen Garner, an Independence attorney for a retainer fee of $5000. Garner comes highly recommended by the Missouri Municipal League and is tasked with comb-
ing through the charter draft to make certain it is in legal compliance with Missouri Statute and Federal law. While the Commission remained firm in their commitment to create a charter that emulates our current City government, they have built in contingencies. For example, the police chief or marshall remains an elected official but in the event no candidate runs for the office, the position can be filled by an appointment. Next week, we will publish more charter highlights.
The Spring EMT-Basic Course will be held at Raytown EMS beginning January 20, 2015, and ending on June 11, 2015. Classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. Tuition for the class includes textbooks,

rounded and complete hands-on experience translating into professional and career success. The follow areas of study will be covered: • Legal and ethical issues for pre-hospital providers • Basic and advanced airway techniques including CPR
• Assessment and emergency treatment of medical and trauma patients • External Defibrillation/AED operations • Basic medical pharmacology • 72 hours of clinical experience in a EMS field setting • And much more!

I’ve been reading your column in the RaytownBrooking Eagle since it started and I love it. This last week’s article about public school teachers not being allowed to mess with kids any more was hilarious. The story you told about Scotty falling asleep in class reminded of my own school days in the 70s. In the choir class that was directly before my choir class some kid fell asleep. How someone falls asleep in a chair surrounded by 30 or 40 singing junior high school kids is beyond me. This poor kid picked the wrong day to pull of this feat. It just so happened that this day the school’s class bell system was on the fritz and the teachers were having to dismiss classes manually by watching the clock and sending us to the next class at the appropriate time. Well our choir director Mr. Price had the same evil streak as your Mr. Brown. With a finger to his lips and no class bell to wake sleeping beauty that class filed out si-

Lloyd Lindroth Harp’n His Way To Kansas City
Letters to the editor To Jason Offutt,
|
The Hotel Muehlebach Was The “In” Place
lently and he met our incoming class outside the door and had us file in silently. Once we were settled in he had us turn to the loudest, most abrupt chorus in our music folders. With a wave of his baton, we burst out singing with all our might, which jolted the poor kid back to reality. He desperately scrambled through his music to find out where we were for several moments, all the while silently mouthing nonsensical words – today we call it lip syncing. After realizing he was hopelessly lost he began to glance around at his “classmates” hoping for some assistance. It only took a second or so for him to realize we were not in fact his classmates. At that point to whole group just lost it and he quickly gathered his things and slinked out of the room. He didn’t even stop for a hall pass. Thanks for the memories Jason. Keep up the good work!

About three weeks ago one of our readers asked if I would do a feature on the Muehlebach engagement of LLOYD LINDROTH from that era. So, this is for you Lance. I understand from what you said that your Dad had worked at the hotel at the time. I wonder if he was one of the executives or one of the waiters in The Café Picardy. Some of the waiters had been there for 50+ years at that time. They knew how to wait on a table and make the best Caesar salad I’ve ever had. No one has made one for me so good since those days.
The first engagement for LLOYD LINDROTH to appear at the Muehlebach Hotel was in late 1971 – 41 year ago. Wow! I had acquired the booking through Billy MacDonald of ABC Booking Agency out of Chicago. Billy had no idea that Lindroth would become the biggest attraction to appear in Kansas City since the days of Count Basie. Literally with letters pouring in from all over asking where Lindroth went after his first engagement, Ralph Hitz, Jr., the managing director and general manager, tried three or four times to get him back to Kansas City. He made such a good offer that we finally accepted a longer-term return on the second time around which turned into a long 26 weeks. In this business of traveling show-groups that was unusual. An ad appeared in The Kansas City Star on November 21, 1972, on his return engagement beginning with New Year’s Eve at the Muehlebach Hotel with LLOYD LINDROTH and offered a room for the night

To Be A Healthier Male, Just Listen To Science
Jason Offutt Author’s warning: This column is about science. Well, science and breasts. You can tell it’s about breasts by the number of times I use the word “breast.” Hint, it’s 14.
In a continuing effort to improve the health of average Americans, Jason Offutt Science Guy brings forth cutting edge research that will keep us all alive at least well into our 50s. Science is known for scaring the public into not doing anything fun, like telling us if we wear flip-flops our feet will explode, eating sugar is like swallowing thousands of little angry ninjas, and sitting is more dangerous to us than serial killers. However, there are researchers out there exploring subjects average guys care about, like women’s breasts. Actual headline: “Health Tip: Look at Breasts!” Whoa, Nellie. First off Men’s Health Magazine, cut out the exclamation points.
With a headline like that you’re going to give someone a heart attack. The article concerned a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Scientists followed 756 people who suffered from coronary artery disease, high blood pressure or asthma, then did what seemed to be most logical thing at the time. The scientists showed the study subjects pictures of women’s breasts. I mean, that’s usually the first thing to come to mind, right guys? The study revealed that men who spent part of their day staring at breasts were healthier than those who didn’t. Oh, and kittens. Pictures of kittens also relaxed the participants and contrib-
uted to their overall health. Photographs of breasts with kittens probably cured them of diabetes, gout and Ebola. I’m not sure, but I think that’s where the study was headed. Actual headline: “Bras Make Breasts Sag, 15-Year Study Concludes.” What surprised me more than scientists spending tax dollars studying what bras do to breasts is the fact that the study took 15 years and wasn’t conducted by men. The study of 320 women showed bras apparently not only don’t reduce back pain (like bra proponents claim), they weaken chest muscles that result in sagging, according to Jean-Denis Rouillon of the University of Besançon, France.
John Dixey, the former CEO of Playtex, a company that, eh-hem, eh-hem, sells bras, dismissed the study during an interview on British television. Duh. Actual headline: “What the perfect breast looks like, according to men and women.” According to an article published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (seriously, this is a real thing), British doctors showed pictures of breasts to 1,315 people, men, woman and plastic surgeons (not sure why plastic surgeons are different from men and women, but I’m just the Science Guy). The doctors discovered most people preferred breasts that looked like actual breasts,
as opposed to surgically enhanced Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade balloons. “Preconceptions that men prefer an artificial augmented look are false,” the British doctors concluded using an amazing accent. Remember, folks, this is science talking. Now, go out there and make yourself healthier. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com. A native of Missouri, Jason currently teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University and has earned many humor writer awards throughout his career.

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 for two, dinner, Champagne, horns, hats and noise-makers and other packages. The hotel had the best New Year’s Eve occupancy ever. After Lindroth and the musicians did two concerts at Leavenworth Penitentiary, it appeared in a write-up in the Star written by Ira B. McCarthy. The lines began to form even on Monday nights at the Café Picardy, which was on the lobby level. The management had not expected so much business that I personally became host and began seating folks on my own. The person who normally served in that position was always sent home early with other acts. I told Mr. Hitz that it would be so much more of a money-maker for him if he would have the waiters strip the tables and booths of all the white table cloths, napkins, silverware, glasses, etc. “Make it conducive for drinking and dancing” I said. He instructed his staff and that was the beginning of some real profit making for Mr. Hitz and his discovery of this act. Instead of closing down at 10:00 p.m. we stayed open until the legal closing time. Before we knew it, musicians were coming in from all over Kansas City to listen and sit-in and hear Lindroth. I must have met every musician in Kansas City at the time. I remained as host for several months until Mr. Hitz decided to hire on a staff member to handle those duties. It was our format to collect everyone’s name and address who had attended Lindroth’s concerts and so many of them were from Raytown. Our friend Lance

had grown so much that Mr. Hitz told me, “I don’t have to spend the money for ads in The Kansas City Star. You guys are packing the place through word-of-mouth and your post card mailings”. He was thrilled, to say the least. So much so, that he gave Lindroth one of the largest suites in the hotel to stay, gratis, as well as members of the back-up band. On that engagement Lindroth asked
me to find him a drummer to go back to our regular appearances at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We auditioned several to no avail. I then called Ruel Joyce who was the Secretary of the Kansas City Musicians Union at the time and he said to me “I have just the guy for you who can handle

the difficult arrangements that Lindroth has and also one who wants to go to Las Vegas”. His name was JIM WEINBERG from Raytown who made his debut at Fun House Pizza. Ruel Joyce later became President of the Kansas City Musicians Union in 1977 and was highly respected by all. Joyce was right about Weinberg. The day he came in to audition, Lindroth listened to him for one minute and said “you’re hired”, and Jim Weinberg was ecstatic. He was all that Joyce told me and more. A real pro. He could handle Lindroth’s very difficult arrangements with ease and also played the vibes, which was a big plus for Lindroth because he could feature him in the middle of one of his shows with a vibe solo, drum solo, etc. Thus began a long, prosperous and wonderful relationship between two musicians who respected each other. Next week I’ll tell you some pretty funny stories of the after hours evenings at the Hotel Muehlebach when Mr. Hitz’ son would come downstairs from his suite and open up the entire kitchen and freezer to the band to eat and talk shop. We’ll talk about others in town that we met that you’ll know from musicians to newspaper folks. I invite anyone who was around during those days with a story to contact me before next week’s column. This is our first edition of the paper for 2015 going into the second year of publication. My best wishes to all for a prosperous and happy new year. As always, stay happy.

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

He fought Crohn’s disease for much of his life, but always had the faith that he would improve. Earl was surrounded by family and friends in the last days of this part of his journey as he prepared to meet his God and continue the everlasting life with Him. Earl was considerably grateful for the life the Lord had blessed him with, a life he shared with so many truly amazing people. Earl was born August 30, 1933, in Kansas City, MO. He was preceded in death by his loving parents, Earl C. Julo, Sr. and Edna Helen (Schultz) Julo. In 2009 Earl and LaWanda and family lost one of their sons at 48 years of age, Joseph K.

On June 4, 2011, a terribly sad day, Earl lost, to an extremely aggressive and fast moving cancer, his magnificent wife, chosen life’s partner and best friend, La-

Wanda Lee Julo. Earl was never to be the same after he lost what he termed his wonderful angel sent to him by God, even though he was surrounded by a family who did everything possible to make his life as happy as possible after this loss. Earl was eternally grateful for the tremendous and unending support group which made it possible for him to continue on, even in constant grief. Earl and LaWanda had often stressed in their later years that it took both of them to make one good person, and after the sudden loss of LaWanda, he believed he was only half of who he wanted to be, even though he was a man of great faith who always knew that at some time in the future he would rejoin the love of his life, LaWanda, and his son, Joe, as well as his parents, and the two loving brothers he had also lost over the years, William D. Julo and Richard L. Julo and sister-in-law, Sybil Julo. Earl’s first wife, a faithful follower of God, Beatrice G. (Generaux) Julo, also preceded him in death, a number of years ago. Earl leaves behind what he called “his remarkable family” who, along with those he’d lost, was his constant pride and joy, including son, Gary Ray Winters (Debbie), Richmond, MO; daughter, B. Kathleen Smith (Fred) of Lee’s Summit; sons, Earl D. Julo (Libby), Ridgefield, CT, Michael G. Julo (DeDe), Atchison, KS, Raymond J. Julo (Susan), Lee’s Summit; and Mark A. Julo (Amy), Olathe, KS; and LaWanda’s and Earl’s 20 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren; his consistently supportive sisters, Gayle Keele (Ken), Kansas City; and Barbara Stuart (Mike), Kansas City; his three great brothers, Phil Julo (Harriet), Kansas City, Jack Julo (Sheila), Raytown, and David Julo (Holly), Raytown; one truly caring sister-in-law, Pat Julo and his “other family,” that of LaWanda’s family which

Obituaries
Earl always considered his own, brother, Gail Workman (Ruth), Eldon; two sisters, Omega McDonald, Eldon; and Darlene Jeffries (Jerry), Eldon; many nephews, nieces and cousins as well as many great friends, including his Longview Chapel congregation of truly “always helpful, always caring, always there” friends; and the especially kind neighbors and special former neighbors, who were all so helpful to Earl after the sudden loss of his precious wife, LaWanda. He always said his fantastic family and extraordinary circle of friends made his coping possible, even if not easy. Earl wanted to be sure to pass along to his family and friends how grateful he was for their prayers, love and support, not only to him but to LaWanda and the entire family. Earl said after his loss that “no human being ever had or was worthy of a support group such as this, and even while missing my partner so much, this close family and our great family of friends help me to remember to thank God for everything, and especially for all the wonderful years we shared together.” LaWanda and Earl always knew they would be Together forever, and now they are. Thanks be to God. Earl was a graduate of Southwest High School in Kansas City, and he was forever proud of his service to his country as a United States Marine during the Korean conflict; his membership in the Korean War Veterans Association, his lifetime membership in the VFW and the American Legion. Upon his return from Korea (and Japan) in 1955, Earl worked for a number of years as a baker, and in 1970 graduated from the Electronic Computer Programmer’s Institute. Earl at one time worked for the City of Kansas City at the downtown airport and at KCI. In 1974 Earl joined Golden Star Inc. in North Kansas City as

computer manager, and in his 36 plus years with that company he served as Vice President and Treasurer, and until his departure from this phase of his journey with God, he served on Golden Star’s Board Of Directors. Earl made special friends at Golden Star, and was appreciative of his time with J. Gary Gradinger, who has been a long-time friend to the Julo family. Earl enjoyed playing golf with family members even when he knew he was always the worst player, never playing the game until he was 65; senior softball, especially a trip to the Senior Olympics in Baton Rouge in 1971; and his time with a barbecue competition team for as long as he was still able to participate. Of course, LaWanda was always with him, as they truly enjoyed being together. Theirs was a partnership made in Heaven, Earl said, and they both enjoyed their years together tremendously. That life changed dramatically when LaWanda was lost, and now they will finally be together in eternity. Where one was, you would find the other. Their greatest joy in life, along with their faith, was entertaining their family, especially every holiday when there were at times up to as many as 50 people at their home. LaWanda was a fantastic cook, and Earl was at his best when he was serving as her helper with all the dishes they were famous for in the family. They made a great team, and they loved hosting their family and friends, always together in whatever they did. Thanks also are extended to their Pastor during their later years, Pastor Gary Blakeman, for all his compassion and wisdom. Both Earl and LaWanda were extremely grateful for Pastor Gary’s comfort during both their illnesses, and they never forgot his support as they worked to become better Christians and tried to serve as examples for others. Earl and LaWanda, along with the Julo family as a unit, were founding members, of Custard’s Last Stand, a favorite environment for many treat lovers. Thanks also go to all the loyal customers and As-

Sweet Strategies For A Healthier You When celebrating the past and looking forward to the future, the New Year is a perfect time to set goals for a better, healthier you. Setting yourself up with a strong nutrition foundation is essential for long-term success. An expert on helping others attain healthy lifestyles, registered dietitian Elizabeth Somer offers these four time-proven skills for permanent weight loss and health management. 1. Balance calories Seek the right mix of calories in from your diet, versus calories out from exercise and daily activity. Your goal is gradual weight loss of no more than two pounds per week, which ensures you lose fat weight, not water or muscle weight. Daily exercise is a must to maintain the loss. If you can’t lose weight on at least 1,500 calories a day, you need to move more, not eat less. 2. Focus on plants Emphasize colorful fruits and vegetables, with at least half of every plate heaped with produce. Then complement with whole grains and moderate amounts of foods that Obituaries continued from page 6 Raytown for nearly 40 years he served as a deacon, on numerous committees and also enjoyed volunteering in many areas. He relished traveling and spending time with family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, CW and 3 nephews. Survivors include his loving wife of 59 years, Eunice; daughter, Vicki Crisafulli (Paul); sons, Michael (Liane); Mark (Kym); 10 grand children who all called him Papa, 6 great-grandchildren; 3 brothers, Lester (Betty); twin brother Dwayne (Delacia); Lewis (Judy); a sister Dorothy Eichler (Buddy); and sister- in-law, Exa Retherford; 3 foster sisters, Joann, Donna, and Leta; many nieces, nephews and family. Visitation and funeral services were held December 30 at First Baptist Raytown; graveside services were held December 31 at Mission Ridge Cemetery, Urbana, MO.

Watermelon Pistachio Sundae are calcium-rich (nonfat or low-fat milk) and ironrich (extra-lean meats, chicken, fish or legumes). Snack on watermelon cubes rich in vitamins A and C, as well as the antioxidant lycopene. This juicy treat is available all year, even in the winter. In addition, a real food such as watermelon contains at least two of the magic three ingredients for weight loss: protein, water and fiber. These nutrients fill you up before they fill you out, so you are satisfied on fewer calories. 3. Eat regularly
When you eat these calories is also important. Large, infrequent meals result in big-time hunger, which can cause you to lose control of your appetite. Eating regularly and when you are comfortably hungry keeps you in control of your appetite, allowing you to make wiser decisions. Here is an example of a day’s menu: • Breakfast: 100 percent whole grain cereal topped with nonfat milk and berries • Mid-Morning Snack: A bowl of watermelon with a 6-ounce tub of low-
Raytown South High School graduate and a 1980 University of Missouri graduate. Pam first worked as a Software Developer for Professional Systems Corp., and finished her professional career 12 years later as the Manager of I.T. for Helzberg Jewelers. After the birth of her second daughter, her career transitioned to full-time Mom. As a young girl, Pam was an avid swimmer and diver, competing in Nationals as a diver. She loved to read for both pleasure and knowledge. Her excellent memory made her a force to be reckoned with when it came to Jeopardy. She loved music and singing, being asked to perform solos in several weddings. The Christmas season, with all of its music, was her favorite time of year. But for all of her life, her greatest pleasure was spending time at the beach. And the most important thing to Pam was her family, especially her girls! Pam was preceded in death by her father Raymond Cardona. She is survived by her husband, James E. Sherman, of the home; 2 daughters, Jennifer (and Eric) Errante of Oakville, MO., and Sarah Sherman of the home; 2 granddaughters, Evelyn Jean Errante and Violet Pa-
mela Errante of Oakville; her mother and step-father, Jean and Harold Ticknor of Leawood; 3 siblings, Diane (and Mike) Lampton of Leawood, Greg (and Debbie) Cardona of Raymore, and Tim Cardona of Overland Park; her nephews, great nephews, nieces, and great nieces. Cremation has been accorded. A memorial visitation will be held 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. Sunday, January 4, 2015, at the Kansas City Hospice House, 12000 Wornall Rd, Kansas City, MO. (816) 941-1000.

A celebration of his life was held at the Raytown campus of Woods Chapel United Methodist Church (formerly Calvary United Methodist Church), on December 29.

Commit to Health: Keep in mind that your ultimate goal is not just a certain figure or a number on the bathroom scale – it is a lifelong commitment to be the best and healthiest you. This plan requires a lifetime commitment, not to lose weight and keep it off, but to modify habits so they support health and maintain the best weight for you – for life.

Comfortable, custom fit provides immediate pain relief If you are reading this, you know that lower back pain can be excruciating and debilitating. Even mild, low-grade back pain, whether chronic or recurring, robs seniors of their golden years and takes the fun out of life. The Verta Loc was designed by medical technology experts to reverse that situation, instantly. It fits all waist sizes and has no small pieces to fumble with. Your Verta Loc will arrive fully assembled and could not be easier to adjust for a perfectly custom-tailored fit and immediate relief. Verta Loc’s unique two-strap system gives you complete control over the compression you need to feel relief, offering maximum comfort and protection with just the right amount of support. Not avail able through retailers or over the Internet To keep costs down and to streamline and speed up the Medicare qualification process, the Verta Loc Back Brace cannot be purchased online or in stores. It is only available with a free call to The Back Pain Resource Center, and will be shipped directly to your home by our trusted supplier of quality durable medical equipment. The Center’s specialists are trained in Medicare and make it very easy for virtually all seniors with lower back pain to qualify for the new Verta Loc and obtain
one at little to no cost out-of-pocket. The specialists handle all the paperwork in a matter of minutes. Pain relief and financial relief too Many people find themselves wearing their Verta Loc for only part of the day to experience relief. Plus, when the pain subsides, many are able to reduce or even eliminate their use of pain medications, which not only eliminates unwanted side effects but also saves money. Recommended by doctors and back pain specialists Physicians agree that using a high-quality back brace like Verta Loc helps encourage safe movement, teaches good body mechanics, and restricts the motions that cause pain in the first place. Patients are able to maintain their daily activities and learn better back health practices. Medicare coverage specialists are available by phone for the next 48 hours only. Call today! Since Medicare is now covering the Verta Loc, the phone lines are expected to be flooded, but if lines are busy, callers are encouraged to keep trying. For the next 48 hours, the goal of the Back Pain Resource Center is to make sure every senior is able to experience the relief and freedom provided by having their own Verta Loc.
To get your Verta Loc please find your time zone on this map and begin calling at the time indicated.
