TONOPAH SE004IOR NEWS
(702) 482-6450 .........
by Irene Cessna
We had a wonderful week. The Tonopah/Goldfield Re-
union Picnic was a huge success. It was great meeting people
we haven't seen for years. Amazing how time flies and it
seems like yesterday.
Get ready for another fantastic bag sale at the Thrift Shop
on Tuesday, September 2. As always, the first bag will be $5,
the second bag will be $3. Plan to spend some time browsing
through the store.
We were delighted having Millie James, Ms. Senior Ne-
vada (Nye County) with us on Tuesday. What a grand lady.
She entertained us with her performance that won her the Ms.
Senior Nevada title. She will be going to Biloxi, Miss. to
compete in the finals in September. We wish her good luck
throughout the competition. With Millie was Helen Holtz and
Dorothy Cortner from Amargosa. Helen Holtz has been
involved with the Ms. Senior Nevada pageant for many years
and has done an outstanding job.
Our congratulations to Paula King, appointed by the Nye
County commissioners as Director of Nye County Senior
Nutrition Program. Paula has done a wonderful job this past
year keeping the program on track. With the retirement of
Carol Cox last August, the serious medical problems this past
year of Van Crawford (now retired) and last year's cutback of
county personnel, Paula was left with the task of filling all
positions. Not an easy job for anyone. Let's all work together
and give her our help and full support.
Wonderful food and wonderful guests sharing their lunch
hour with us. We had a great visit with John and Aloma
Lofihouse, of Vernal, Utah and daughter Dianne Clouser of
Round Mountain, Robert Smoot, Barbara Galvin and her dad,
John McKinnon who has recently moved back to Tonopah
from Las Vegas. Mr. McKinnon lived in Tonopah, Manhat-
tan, and other comnmnities and spent several years in
Washougal, Wash. before returning to Nevada. We welcome
him back to Tonopah and look forward to having him join us

BEATTY SENIOR NEW
(702) 553-2956
by Lorayne White
Christmas Bazaar is set for Saturday, November 8 at the
new senior center, 150 A Avenue, South. Crafters reserve
your tables now by calling 553-2954. Once again, homemade
items only.
Reminder - Monday, September 1, is Labor Day holiday¢/
and the senior center will be closed. Have a nice holiday, and
come in Tuesday for lunch.
The workers at the new center are humming Christmas
music every time we go to check on progress, but we think
that's an exaggeration. We're optimistic, we think maybe the
middle of September. But, that's not written in concrete. We'll
keep you posted.
MENU:
September 1 - Closed for Labor Day
September 2 - Weiners with saurkraut
September 3 - Lima beans

Several weeks ago I clipped a piece from the July 27 issue
of The New York Times written by Ted M. Levine, who
describes himself as 60-plus. He's the founder and chairman
of a company that helps Ioc:dities attract business and tour-
ism.
Mr. Levine-- who admits his economic shoes don't pinch
-- is in a dither because of senior citizen discounts offered by
stores, airlines and other services. He says he doesn't deserve
it, and what's more, by his reckoning, most seniors don't need
them or want them.
Yes, there are many seniors who enjoy good incomes.
There are far too many who are struggling to pay their taxes
so they don't lose homes they've lived in for much of their
lives. There are far too many seniors whose savings are being
drained by medical expenses. Other retirees have found, to
their horror, that the pensions they counted on, and to which
they contributed over the years, have disappeared in the wake
of all those mega mergers that continue to take place in the
corporate world.
