On a January day several years ago, my wife and I were at the weekend cabin we once owned in the wooded hills south of Ozark. It was our special place to escape to. Winter was our quiet time there. Not as many visitors came as in other seasons.

In July of 1518 a woman named Traffea walked out into a street in Strasbourg and began twirling and gyrating. She continued in this fashion for a week straight, passing out from exhaustion just to get up and start dancing again when she came to. Though people were perplexed at first, others eventually joined her. Within a month, around 400 townspeople had succumbed to the irresistible urge to dance. They moved continuously, even as their feet bled and their bodies overheated.

This past summer, local artist Larry Johnston spent several weeks teaching acrylic painting to the Young at Art class at the senior center. He produced a painting with various natural features, including a waterfall. After the course, he graciously donated his painting to the class. He suggested that we use it as a fundraiser. As a result, we held a raffle in November and Bolivar resident Gary White was the winner. Mr. Johnston joined the members of our art group in presenting the picture to White, who donated the painting to the Senior Center to be enjoyed by everyone.
