1932 Reserve hosted the School of the Osage High School culinary team’s ProStart dinner on Feb. 1, 2026, highlighting the students’ skill, teamwork, and ability to perform under pressure. The five-member team prepared a refined three-course menu featuring caramelized trumpet mushroom tagine, pan-seared garam masala lamb chops, and malva bread pudding. With more than 100 guests in attendance, students were tasked with prepping, cooking, and serving the entire meal without electricity, using only three small gas burners and just 20 minutes to measure ingredients and 45 minutes to prepare their three dishes. The challenge closely mirrored real ProStart competition conditions. Led by Parrie Bayles and supported by chefs Scott Romano and Andre Torres, the dinner served as valuable preparation for the team’s February 20 competition in Springfield, Missouri.

On the Lake of the Ozarks, navigation is more than “knowing where you’re going.” With winding channels, countless coves, heavy seasonal traffic, and changing conditions, safe boating depends on preparation, awareness, and a few reliable tools.
Golf carts have become part of everyday life at the Lake of the Ozarks. Whether it’s taking steep subdivision roads for dockside runs or quick trips to a neighbor’s house, today’s carts are doing far more than cruising the fairway (or traversing the trees looking for a wayward tee shot). But according to Brian Cheever, CEO of Clear Creek Golf Car & Utility Vehicles, the way many consumers are buying them hasn’t kept pace with how they’re being used.
Is there more pain medication in your golf bag than in your home? Is your shoulder pain preventing you from making birdies? Is a full turn when you swing a distant memory? Golf is a low impact sport, but injuries do happen over time. A combination of overuse, an inadequate warm-up routine, poor mechanics and the repetitiveness of the golf swing can take a toll on a golfer’s body leading to muscle, tendon and joint strain. If you have a pain in your back, neck, shoulders, wrists, elbow or knee don’t worry, these are common golf ailments that usually don’t require surgery. However, before self-diagnosing or checking with Dr. Google get in touch with one of the Lake area’s expert orthopedic doctors, you know a real doctor and get a diagnosis.
