Well, they tell me no news is good news.
The Project Council approved a wall arch being put in the
wall between the lounge area and the dining area to be able to
accommodate the smokers in a room all their own, but we hit
a snag, our contractor does not have a Nevada contractor's
license. We have written to Pau!to see if he may still be able
to do the job. Let's hope.
We want our regulars who are not coming to again join us,
remember when the project is completed the dining area will
be smoke-free.

I mentioned in last week's article that I had more news to
share with you, so here goes.

Dialysis Survey
Attention residents of Pahrump, Beatty,
Amargosa, Sandy Valley, Shoshone,
and surrounding areas.
If you are currently a dialysis patient the
Pahrump Hospital District wants to know!
The results from this survey will be used to
determine the feasibility of providing di-
alysis service in Pahrump. Because this
survey is voluntary we do not need to know
your name, your doctor, or current location
of dialysis. Just check the following
statement, then cut out this advertisement
(only one survey per patient please) and
mail it to:
Dialysis Survey
601 S. Hwy. 160 MSC 69
Pahrump, NV 89048
Yes I am a dialysis patient and I would
be interested in getting dialysis in Pahrump.

Many of you will remem-
ber Lizzie and Louis Nelson
from several years back. You
will recall that Lizzie's
maiden name was Guisti
(Maggie Ray's sister) and
Louis was a Deputy Sheriff
in Tonopah in the early 40s.
When they left Tonopah they
settled in the San Francisco
area where Louis served as
assistant warden at Alcatraz
and as warden at San Quentin
prison. With them were their
daughters, Jean Meridith of
Walnut Creek and Sandy
Mathews of Placerville. What
f
a memorable visit we had with them, we just wish it could
have been much longer
We had the pleasure of meeting our new Nye County
Health Nurse. her name is Emalie Caley and we welcome
her to our community We have been without a health
nurse for some time so her arrival has been great news to
all of us. Ms. Caley has done extensive nursing in Alaska,
Hawaii, and New Mexico's indian reservations. She will be
an asset to our community.
The Tonopah Diabetic Support Group is sponsoring a
program featuring the Educational Team of Washoe Dia-
betes Health Center from Reno. It is scheduled for Tues-
day, September 16 at 7:30 p.m (free of charge) at the

public is invited to attend. On Wednesday, September 17
from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., a class will be held supplying yo"

self care. A nominal fee is required for this class, however
most insurance companies cover this type of service. For
more information call Dan Wilson 482-3544 or Shirley
Morey at 482-3791. Flyers have been distributed through-
out the area with more detailed information.
