Director of Food Service Milka Vergara helped Dale Songer come out of his shell by encouraging him to return to his love of cooking.
Dale Songer, a patient at Rim Country Health & Retirement Community, brings a lifetime of experience as a cook, which he shares with the RCH&RC kitchen staff. Songer originally began cooking for his brothers and sisters as they were growing up, and later in logging and mining camps. His meatloaf and enchiladas are so popular with patients and staff, when it is announced they are on the day’s menu, people line up to enjoy them.
Square dancing is popular with seniors all over the country, and the Rim Country is no exception. The Zane Grey Twirlers have celebrated both square and round dancing at a festival for the past 29 years. Plans are already being made for the 30th annual Dance Under the Rim in June 2010.

Before the real action began Gregg Almen filled out the registration form at the number four ramada in Rumsey Park.
Tyler Matney used a heavy putter to sink this one and it worked well.
Gregg Alman thought the best approach to this hole was throwing a disc perpendicular to the ground as far as it would go, unfortunately, tree branches had other ideas. In the background, Aaron Murry studies the terrain and wonders about the fate of his first disc.
Wyatt Griffin strolls along in the gully between the woods and the Kiwanis Little League fields as he picks up a few of his discs. Griffin was out on the course early trying out the terrain, distance and deciding which discs might be best for this part of the course.
Tim Munchweiler tosses this disc with a short jab of the wrist and sinks it easily.
After observing disc golfers tee off, it becomes apparent that catching a disc at the moment of release is a most difficult task. Most disc golfers release with such great force one almost doesn't see the disc until it is several feet past the player. With that said, catching Benny Serna's toss on the tenth hole was a great catch.
Paul Dunnigan almost waves his disc closer to the basket on this shot.
Benny Sernalooks as if he might be catching that putter instead of releasing it as he drops a sure one into the 13th hole basket.
Joe Colletti releases his disc from a distinctively different vantage point on the 13th basket as Tyler Matney watches with great curiosity.
Zach Walker peers out from behind a common hazard on the Rumsey Park disc golf course, as he gives the sixth hole his best shot.
