TONOPAH SENIOR N00-g

by Irene Cessna
We are having a heat wave in our area. Temperatures
reaching 95-100 degrees. And believe me, when it gets that
hot in Tonopah, we really feel it. Time to pack up the car and
head for the hills.
Phyllis Sorhouet from the Nye County Sheriff's Depart-
ment presented a video on the workings of con artists on the
senior population. Beware of these people. They are profes-
sionals and have no concern about who might get hurt from
their manipulations. Do not let strangers in your home, give

The Diabetic Support Group will hold it's monthly meet-
ing on Wednesday, August 13, at 1 p.m. This months topic
will be "Read the Labels" when doing your shopping. Diet is
so important and the labels will help to determine what food
you should purchase.
According to the Aging Research and Training News
publication, health care practitioners need to do more to
educate the senior population about medication side effects
and drug interactions. Many take medication to control chronic
pain. A large percentage say the medication is effective, but
one-fourth suffer from drug side effects. It is so important to
discuss possible side effects with your doctor and be aware of
drug reactions in your body. Over medicating could turn into
a serious health problem.
We thank Preston Causey for the garden fresh veggies and
Dick and Maggie Trueba for the veggies they gave us. There
is nothing more tasty than fresh produce right from the
garden. We appreciate your kindness and support.

BEATTY SENIOR NEw:;
(702) 553-2956
by Lorayne White
Vacation news, our fearless leader, Lorayne White and her
husband Joe, with Bobby and Mary Revert spent a week
recently in Canada. Uclet, BC on Vancouver Island, to be
specific. The men fished for salmon, caught some, not trophy
size, but nice Lorayne said. Meanwhile the girls checked out
the local shops, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery while taking
leisurely walks around the island. While there, there was the
event called "Hot August Nights," a classic car showing from
the 50s and 60s, and the foursome cruised around in Bobby's
Ford Galaxy convertible which was great fun. Also, they
attended a Lion's Club meeting, loyal Lions that they are, and
were warmly greeted. We're glad that they had a wonderful
vacation, and are safely back home, we missed them.
Things are progressing nicely at the new senior center. Our
big walk-in refrigerator and freezer units have been moved
over there and installed, and should be ready for use any day
now. It shouldn't be too much longer now before we get the
green light to move in. We'll keep you posted.
MENU:
August 18 - Lima beans and ham
August 19 - Beef tips w/gravy
August 20 - Barbeque ribs
August 21 - Pizza
