One Minute on the Shiawassee. Lots of great summer fun can be spent in the many lakes and rivers of the tri-county area. One activity that should be on your summer agenda is kayaking.

There are many types of fractures, but the main categories are complete, incomplete, compound and simple. Complete and incomplete fractures refer to the way the bone breaks. In a complete fracture, the bone snaps into two or more parts; in an incomplete fracture, the bone cracks but does not break all the way through.
